An overview of all 14 teams with conference play set to begin.
An 18 game SEC Basketball schedule should take a page from the Big East, placing the top, middle, and bottom teams in the league against each other twice annually.
Rumored changes to the SEC Basketball schedule could break up the annual home-and-home Tennessee-Kentucky rivalry.
With an 11-1 vote, league coaches have made a strong stance on the removal of East and West divisions in basketball play. How will this affect scheduling and the Vols?
Tennessee Lady Vols vs. Mississipppi Lady Rebels, High Noon EST
One year after the worst season in modern SEC history, the league reloads with solid veterans, exciting freshmen, and great coaching personalities.
So, we know Calipari, Donovan and Pearl are the three highest paid coaches in the SEC. But can you guess the rest of the pecking order? Because one of the programs I would've put in the top five comes in at #11...an interesting look from Mr. SEC.
Kentucky's loss to LSU (73-70) puts the Vols back in control of their own destiny for the East. While a USC loss doesn't directly help the Vols' cause, it might provide some "fire insurance"...
Suddenly the East looks quite winnable. Now our boys just have to go out and take it!

It was my first show on my new purebred new forest pony Polly who was only 4 yrs old and still is. It was taking place at Wooten Warren and I had already done the 2ft show jumping class and I was about to do the 2.3ft course.
I walked the course twice and then went over it in my head about five times. Then when I went in I had a few minutes to let Holly look at the jumps and warm up.
While I was doing that I went over the course again several times then I started. I went towards the first jump but it wasn't until I had jumped it that I realised it was number 4 instead of number 1.
I stopped Holly and looked behind but the judges said carry on. So I did but as soon as I jumped number 8 and was going pretty quickly because I was in the speed part the judges blew the horn for me to stop and that spooked Holly so because we were going quite quickly.
She skidded into number 9 and I was able to stop her but she landed sitting down so she got up and I walked her out. I wondered why the judges suddenly told me to stop when in the first place they said carry on.
But in the end, because I was in a team, I came 5th anyway and BEAT MY ANNOYING LITTLE SISTER WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So that was my first show adventure!

Centre Hill Museum
Centre Hill Museum Review
This, the third home of the Bolling family, was originally built in 1823. Having been remodeled twice since then, it illustrates changing architectural styles; it was and is the grandest home in Petersburg. Inside are ornate woodwork, plaster motifs, period furnishings, and an 1840s service tunnel in the basement that once connected the work area of the house to the street below. For many years, every January 24, the residents of Centre Hill heard the ghosts of Civil War soldiers marching up and down the staircase. You can listen for those boots at the annual Ghost Watch.

Cabochons are usually a highly polished, convex shaped, un-faceted gem with a flat back for mounting. On occasion, some cabochons may have flat faces or may have their top surface faceted. Cabochons can be utilized in a number of different ways. You can secure them with a seed bead stitched bezel, wrap them with wire, set them into PMC designs, or glue them onto flat surfaces such as bolo slides. Cabochons can be made from gemstones, glass, or even shell. Please note: Cabochons are not beads, and do not have holes!

Why is the ninth month called September?
late 14c., "act of swearing to a statement known to be false," via Anglo-French perjurie (late 13c.) and Old French parjurée "perjury, false witness," both from Latin periurium "a false oath," from periurare "swear falsely," from per- "away, entirely" (see per) + iurare "to swear" (see jury (n.)).

When Dr. Charles Browne Fleet founded this company, he did so with a commitment to serving his customers as individuals. Since their founding in 1869, they've never forgotten their heritage as a hometown, family-run business. They remain committed to the same mission and integrity their company was founded on all those years ago, and, they will never forget that the reason they're still around is their customers.
In 1869, Dr. Charles Browne Fleet opened a small pharmacy in Lynchburg, Virginia. His goal was to provide people with easy-to-use, innovative personal health and beauty care products. Developing his own medicines, balms and salves in his storefront, it was Fleet who also invented the first laxative — and since that time, they have continued their founder's commitment to innovation in the personal healthcare industry.
After more than 140 years in business, Fleet Laboratories now leads the personal healthcare industry, ranking among the top non-prescription drug companies in the United States, and earning the trust of consumers and healthcare professionals around the world.

C.B. Fleet Co., Inc. Fleet Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener Fruit Punch - 4 oz.
C.B. Fleet Co., Inc. Fleet Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener Fruit Punch is designed for less urgent cases when you want gradual relief over a 12-72 hour period. It works gently on their systems and comes in a fruit punch-flavored liquid that mixes easily with their favorite juice or a glass of milk.
Pedia-Lax offers oral laxatives that provide you with multiple options to relieve your child's constipation so you can pick what's best for him or her. Their gentle, easy-to-dose formulas appeal to kids' tastes with flavors such as watermelon, grape and fruit punch.
What is constipation?A division of the National Institute of Health defines constipation as having a bowel movement fewer than three times a week. Stools are usually hard, dry, small in size and difficult to eliminate. Children with constipation usually either have very large hard stools or hard pellet like stools. Bowel movements are infrequent and often painful.
What causes constipation?Lots of things can cause constipation. Common causes include: not getting enough fiber, fluids or insufficient exercise. In addition, with children, constipation is often caused by "holding it in" too long because they don't want to stop playing to go to the bathroom. However, constipation can also result from a more serious medical condition. The first time your child experiences constipation, talk to your pediatrician for a complete diagnosis.
Is it normal?Yes, completely. Constipation is a common problem for kids. Unfortunate, but true.
How do I know it is constipation and not something else?While it's perfectly normal for your child to experience occasional constipation, it's not normal for it to be prolonged or ongoing. If constipation lasts for more than 7 days after treatment, you need to see a doctor to rule out a more serious medical condition or set up a treatment approach for a chronic constipation condition.
How is constipation treated?Parents can often successfully treat constipation with diet changes and over-the-counter medicine. They should, however, seek the counsel of a health care professional for children aged 2 and under and/or the first time their child suffers from constipation.
How do I prevent constipation?There are several things you can do to help prevent constipation. Make sure your child eats a well-balanced diet with plenty of fiber. They also need to drink lots of fluids and get plenty of exercise. Most importantly, encourage them to use the bathroom when they need to. Let them play a little longer outside or give them a reward when they stop for a bathroom break. If potty-training, make sure you have scheduled "potty time."
Should I panic?Not at all. Again, constipation is completely normal.
When should I begin to worry?If constipation lasts for more than 7 days after treatment, the child has persistent bouts with constipation or is in acute pain they should see their pediatrician immediately.
What is soiling?Soiling is what happens when liquid feces leak out around hard, compacted stool. It can happen once or several times a day and is often confused with diarrhea. There is nothing a child can do to withhold it and parents don't often make the connection between what they think is diarrhea and constipation, making the right diagnosis difficult.
Pedia-Lax Questions
How does Pedia-Lax work?The active ingredients in Pedia-Lax products work in several different ways to help relieve your child's constipation.
The active ingredient in Pedia-Lax Chewable Tablets, Magnesium Hydroxide, increases the amount of water in the intestine which promotes bowel movement.
The active ingredient in Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener, Docusate Sodium, works directly on the stool to help soften it.
The active ingredient in Pedia-Lax Glycerin suppositories and Liquid Glycerin suppositories, Glycerin, attracts water into the stool and promotes bowel movement.
The active ingredients in Pedia-Lax Enema, sodium phosphates, increase the amount of water in the intestine, which promotes bowel movement.
After I give my child Pedia-Lax, how long before they'll go?Results will vary with each child and depend on which Pedia-Lax product you use, anywhere from a few minutes to 72 hours.
Can I use Pedia-Lax for my child under 2 years of age?If your child is under age 2, consult your pediatrician.
Can I use Pedia-Lax for my child over the age of 11?Pedia-Lax is indicated for children 2-11. Pedia-Lax would not be unsafe for children over 11, but we recommend using an adult product by Fleet in order to ensure that the product will be effective for older children.
Can pregnant women take Pedia-Lax?Pedia-Lax is designed for children ages 2-11. Pregnant women should consult their doctor before taking any medications.
Can my child take Pedia-Lax when taking other medications?As with any medication, consult your pediatrician if your child is already taking other medications.
Which Pedia-Lax product should I use?There are 5 different Pedia-Lax products from which to choose. Chewable Tablets, Liquid Stool Softener, Liquid Glycerin Suppositories, Glycerin Suppositories and Pedia-Lax Enema. The Pedia-Lax product you choose will be determined by both the severity of the problem and the best delivery system for your child.
If the problem is moderate we first suggest trying an oral product: chewable tablets or liquid stool softener. If your child's constipation is more severe and you want the quickest relief possible we suggest suppositories or enemas.
What's the difference between the rectal and oral products?Oral products are easy to administer and work over a short period of time. Rectal products provide immediate relief. Please see our product information page for details on each product's reaction time.
What is the expiration date for these products?The expiration date for Pedia-Lax laxatives is printed on the outside of the carton. The expiration date for Pedia-Lax Fiber Gummies is printed on the outside of the bottle.
How should Pedia-Lax be stored?Pedia-Lax should be stored at a controlled temperature between 59-86 degrees Fahrenheit.
The dosing directions for Pedia-Lax are by age range. How do I know what part of the range I should use for my child?A dosing range by age provides greater flexibility for finding the right dose. As with any medicine, if you have questions or concerns ask your pediatrician.Is it okay for my child to take Pedia-Lax laxatives every day?Pedia-Lax laxatives should not be taken for more than 7 days in a row. If your child experiences constipation for more than 7 consecutive days consult your pediatrician.
Are your products gluten-free?Yes.
Liquid Stool Softener
Why do I need to add juice or milk?The active ingredient in the Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener is docusate sodium. This can taste strong by itself and juice or milk helps to mask the medicine's taste.
What is the best liquid to use?We've tested the Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener with apple juice, orange juice, grape juice, fruit punch, and milk. All work well when combined with the Liquid Stool Softener. We do not recommend mixing this product with water.
I accidentally gave this to my child without mixing it with juice or milk. Is it okay?Yes, there is no danger in giving this product straight from the bottle. The medicine, however, will taste stronger and your child may not like it as much as they would with milk or juice. We suggest drinking extra fluids, if the Pedia-Lax Liquid Stool Softener was taken without juice or milk. This will help to soothe any minor throat irritation that could occur.
Is it okay to give my child the Liquid Stool Softener along with any of your other Pedia-Lax products?We do not recommend using more than one laxative product within a dosing period. Remember, when using laxative products, be sure to follow the dosing instructions on the packaging.
Use dosage chart for proper dosing. Doses may be taken as a single daily dose or in divided doses. Doses must be given in 6-8 oz glass of milk or juice, to prevent throat irritation.
Drug interaction precaution: Do not give this product to your child if your child is presently taking mineral oil, unless directed by a doctor
Ask a doctor before using any laxative if your child has:
Stop using this product and consult a doctor if your child has:
These symptoms may be signs of serious condition. Keep out of reach of children. In case of overdose, get medical help or contact a Poison Control Center right away.

When my family and I moved to the Severna Park area, one of the top priorities in my mommy brain was to find a quality grocery store within close proximity of our house. It still amazes me that a grocery store location has become so vital to my life. With 3 children who never seem to stop eating, however, I have little choice. I guess you learn to love the things that make your life easier, and with that being said, I suppose you could say that my supermarket and I are like BFF's. I might even go as far as to say that grocery shopping by myself is like a peaceful vacation. Short and sweet, but quiet nonetheless.
In an effort to avoid boring you with my supermarket search details, let's just say all things pointed to the Giant Food store on Ritchie Highway. Not only was it just over a mile away, but my past experience with Giant Food stores told me that this place was usually well-organized, well-stocked and the staff were always pleasant and helpful. After my first trip to the SP location, I quickly realized this particular Giant Food, despite its large size, had a nice small town feel. I often see the same faces and despite its tendency to be busy, I never feel rushed.
I've found, though, that even if you went to the best food shopping store on Earth, things can quickly take a nose dive when you take your children with you. I'm sure you can agree that it can be a real game changer. I've suffered from so many bouts of Shopping Kids-itus for so long now that I've often considered writing a book about it.
I think I would title it "One Kid, Two Kid, Red Kid, Blue Kid – Don't take ANY of them shopping with you!"
Alright, so it's a work in progress… and yes, Dr. Seuss is probably rolling over in his grave right now.
The moral of the story is, in my house anyway, if another parent or responsible adult is able to keep the children while you run errands, TAKE ADVANTAGE. Remember that peaceful food vacation I mentioned in the beginning of the story? Well, add 3 young kids to that and you have your very own Food Hell just beckoning you to lose your marbles.
Yesterday was a prime example of that for me. I took my children to Giant Food. The excitement of them going back to school on top of being slightly drunk from the serenity of my now one-child occupied home overcame me. It somehow tucked away all of my previous memories of disastrous grocery shopping trips into some deep dark hole. I temporarily forgot about the "I wants" and the "mystery" candy that would somehow find itself jumping off the store shelves into my basket all on its own.
I literally went to Giant Food for "just a few things" and left there with both an overflowing cart and a raging headache to boot. We began our adventure with my oldest two ramming those cute little green shopping carts into everything and everyone. I slowly turned into a raving maniac, yelling and commanding in all directions. Then karma promptly taught me a lesson when I turned and jabbed my face straight into the white "Customer in Training" sign on the kid cart. The pain just about knocked me to the ground. We slowly segued into watching my oldest rip several plastic produce bags off the reel and attempt to punch and juggle them in the air while his sisters cheered loudly. Those close by, bless their kind souls, tried not to stare but I could tell they were startled. And then when I thought I could take no more, my youngest threw a temper tantrum because she wanted to push her own groceries in her OWN cart to the car, hit a bump in the parking lot and overturned the entire thing. Jars and apples rolled everywhere.
I learned something, though. I learned the greatness of our local Giant Food. Despite the insanity I subjected on all of those poor, poor people – customers and employees alike – I still received more smiles, more "Oh my, aren't they adorable!" compliments and kind offers to help me find things than I have ever experienced in any of my other grocery store locales. Even when my daughters cart overturned in the parking lot, people from all directions came running to help.
It's no wonder I often find myself going on and on about this charming town in conversations with neighbors, strangers, teachers and whoever else might have the misfortune of getting trapped in a chatty conversation with me. Without a doubt, Severna Park is a great place to raise your children and a great place to live, whether young, old or in between. Oh, and if you couldn't tell, I really enjoy grocery shopping here too – kids or no kids in tow.

Flash player will be available for Android, Symbian OS, Windows Mobile, Palm webOS… but no word on apple products, iphone and ipod touch.
The news, point 13,
via Engadget
Is this Flash Player for mobiles full ActonScript compatible , or just Lite version ?
As far as I know it's a lite version (only AS2 ). I have posted a blog post about Flash coming to Androids
Why would they do flash player 10 if its only as2? That doesn't make sense.
Why would they do flash player 10 if its only as2? That doesn't make sense.
I totally agree… seems strange. My guess is that they want penetration on mobile devices first, then they may develop AS3 Lite?
I think what this mean, is that Adobe has released the Flash lite on HTC Herom but they are also working on FP 10 for smartphones….

We use the present continuous when we have made arrangements for the future, as in your example with meeting James, and going to for our intentions. However, with 'going to go', we often drop the 'to go' because it sounds repetitious, so we use it for arrangements and intentions. It's correct to say 'I'm going to go to the cinema', but the other sounds more natural to me, whether I have bought the tickets or merely want to go.

I am in no way taking credit for this, I found this over on the PSD Chiefs forums from a guy whose point of view I often see eye-to-eye with.
h/t to RustShack over there for coming up with another great reason why Harmageddon shouldn't be an NFL headcoach.
Smart money says... Take the field and give the points. Herm Edwards is now 53-70 as a head coach in the NFL. That's 43.1%. By losing to Dick Jauron today, Edwards dropped below Jauron (43.8%) in career winning percentage. In fact, of the sixteen head coaches who have at least 75 decisions, Edwards ranks …<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
… last – dead last.
I've recently analyzed just how bad the Chiefs are from an historical perspective. Anytime someone gets into uncharted waters, I'm going to measure the rip tides... 1-18, Yikes! and... Lions and Tigers and Chiefs. Oh my! In both cases, I've shown that the Chiefs are flirting with ineptness on an historical basis.
An obvious question is, "Why?" Well, of course nothing is working at present – except maybe some improvement in the offense. But, offense isn't supposed to be where our leadership (Edwards, Cunningham) claims expertise. One would have to objectively say that when a car is missing an engine, tires and transmission, that a pristine interior (even if the Chiefs had one) isn't going to get it from point A to point B.
Herm has to go. That's a no-brainer. Carl has to go. That's a no-brainer too. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know. Unfortunately, ownership might be too preoccupied with soccer or money to care. Why anyone would purchase a ticket they don't already have is way beyond my ability to comprehend.
Here are the sixteen existing head coaches in the NFL with 75 or more decisions shown in inverse order of success. Records include early games on Sunday.
Herm Edwards
Dick Jauron Buff 56-72 .438
Norv Turner SD 73-93-1 .440
Marvin Lewis Cincy 43-47-1 .478
Jack Del Rio Jacks 49-42 .538
John Gruden TB 94-77 .550
Tom Coughlin NYG 112-90 .554
Jeff Fisher Tenn 125-100 .555
John Fox Car 59-47 .557
Lovie Smith Chi 42-33 .560
Wade Phillips Dall 68-46 .596
Mike Holmgren Sea 159-107 .598
Andy Reid Phi 93-61-1 .603
Mike Shanahan Den 144-94 .605
Bill Belichick NE 134-85 .612
Tony Dungy Indy 133-69 .658
Needless to say, in order to fairly measure a coach's failure rate, you need to compare him with those who have been around at least as long – sample size, his system, his players and all that. Even though that is certainly true, it's interesting to take a look at the new coaches who began the season. Shown is their team's record last year and their record at the beginning of the day today. All were 6-4.
Miami 1-15 Tony Sparano 6-4
Baltimore 5-11 John Harbaugh 6-4
Washington 9-7 Jim Zorn 6-4
Atlanta 4-12 Mike Smith 6-4
This tells you two things – 1) even rookie coaches can win in the NFL and 2) turnarounds can happen with coaching changes - hint, hint.

Looking for a place to warm up this weekend? We may have found just the spot. It's the only winery in Davidson County where you can drink a glass and say, "It's for a good cause."
Nestled in a small building behind Belle Meade plantation sits a local tourism spot that generates about $1 million a year in revenue.
"Our tank room is right over here. That's where we do the final fermentation, filtering, bottling and labeling, right here on site. Our vintner, our winemaker is Bryan Hamm, and he is down in Cave Springs," said manager Sheree Kelly. "We are currently the first and only winery in the city of Nashville."
Seven days a week, you can come to the Winery at Belle Meade Plantation for a free tasting of their six signature wines, four of which are made from grapes grown right here in Tennessee.
But don't expect any stomping.
"No stomping on grapes, no. We would love to grow grapes here, but we don't have enough property to do that, and the city of Belle Meade would rather we not," Sheree Kelly said.
Some customers aren't exactly sure what to expect, but six tastings in:
"Fantastic. A lot better than I thought they were going to taste. I've never tasted blackberry wine. It's very unusual, but it has a very sweet taste to it, and I'm definitely going to pick up a bottle before I leave here today," customer Ed Kelly said.
All proceeds from the winery go towards the operating costs and upkeep on the mansion itself, making this one of the few non-profits that doesn't have to rely so heavily on donations.
"There's a lot of places in Nashville you can donate to. We, at Belle Meade, are pleased that we have this revenue stream here going to keep it alive," Sheree Kelly said.

I personally can't wait to hear Steve present at this workshop... I've been attending his weekly webcasts and I learn something new every time.
This will be a great way to kick off re:think and lead into the Social Media Forum the week after the conference. Looking forward to learning more about what's gone into Listen First! from the creator.
This should be a great event. And if you're interested in that forum Jeremiah mentioned, register now!
This is a great opportunity to get Listen First!, which will be given out, signed by Steve Rappaport.
I am very excited about this event! I heard Steve speak at a panel discussion by Converseon during Social Media week and I learned a lot. I also heard that this event will be a lot of fun and hands-on.
I am flattered, getting a ton of requests to meet attendees. I'll be spending most of my time at the ARF Pavilion in the Insights Zone. Come by and say hello. If I'm not there I'll have a sheet available with available times.

NASHVILLE (AP) – Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam says he will rely on prayer and advice from experts when he is faced with last-minute appeals from death row inmates facing execution.
The Republican governor stressed at a forum hosted by the Christian group Q Ideas on Wednesday that he has yet to be confronted with death penalty decisions because of court-ordered delays.
"So I can't honestly answer when it comes down to 11 o'clock the night before exactly what that would feel like and look like," Haslam said.
Haslam said he would gather a team of experts in mental health and law enforcement and prosecutors to help him sort through the intricacies of each case.
"I feel like my responsibility is to literally dive into each individual situation, talk to as many smart people about that situation as I can, pray about it and make a decision at that point in time," he said. "Again, that literally hasn't happened yet, but there are quite a few coming."
At the start of the year, 10 of the state's 76 inmates on death row had scheduled execution dates. One of them, Nickolus Johnson, had been scheduled to die April 22, but was granted a stay last month.
Haslam told reporters earlier this week that he is also carefully considering whether to sign into law a bill to allow the state to electrocute prisoners in the event that it can't obtain drugs used in lethal injections.
"As governor, I can't think of any decisions you have that are as serious and as complex as the decisions around capital punishment," Haslam said in Columbia on Monday. "And so, we'll be looking at that bill and obviously there's several cases winding their way to us over the next year."

HHS Details Limits to Medicaid Expansion
States that don't expand their Medicaid rolls to include residents at 133% of the federal poverty level won't get 100% of the matching federal funds made available under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, the nation's governors were told Monday.
"Congress directed that the enhanced matching rate be used to expand coverage to 133% of FPL. The law does not provide for a phased-in or partial expansion. As such, we will not consider partial expansions for populations eligible for the 100% matching rate in 2014 through 2016," said a 17-page memorandum sent by Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.
The memorandum, which touched upon what HHS said were 39 frequently asked questions about Medicaid expansion, market reforms, and healthcare exchanges, left the door slightly open for states that design demonstration programs.
"If a state that declines to expand coverage to 133% of FPL would like to propose a demonstration that includes a partial expansion, we would consider such a proposal to the extent that it furthers the purposes of the program, subject to the regular federal matching rate," said the notice, the 26th item buried on page 11 in the memo.
"For the newly eligible adults, states will have flexibility under the statute to provide benefits benchmarked to commercial plans and they can design different benefit packages for different populations. We also intend to propose further changes related to cost sharing."

Atherectomy What is it?
What is an atherectomy? An atherectomy is removal of plaque from the inside of the artery. Arteries are blood vessels that carry oxygenated blood from the heart to various organs of the body. Over time, arteries can get clogged up with cholesterol plaques just like a pipe used for plumbing.An atherectomy when done with an open surgical approach is usually known as an endarterectomy. This involves making an incision in the body and exposing the involved blood vessel. The artery is clamped above and below the blockage and it is cleaned out. After it is cleaned out the artery is repaired and blood flow is restored. An atherectomy by the
device benefits the patient by providing a minimally invasive way of cleaning out the plaque. A catheter is placed into the blood vessel, usually in the groin, with local anesthesia. Then the Silverhawk™ atherectomy device is delivered down to the plaque like a plumber snaking a clogged pipe. The Silverhawk™ device is turned on and removes the plaque.
Above is an image of the Silverhawk™ atherectomy device shaving plaque from inside of the artery. The Silverhawk™ device is introduced through a tiny puncture in the artery and then is positioned at the heavy plaque in the artery. The Silverhawk™ device is available in multiple sizes and is tailored to the size of the artery being treated. By shaving off the plaque from the inside of the artery blood flow is increased. Patients with claudication, PAD,poor circulation or with gangrene benefit from the Silverhawk™ device. Dr. Sarnelle has the vascular surgery training necessary for using the Silverhawk™. Patients are given the advantage of a much faster recovery.
Dr. James Sarnelle is a vascular surgeon and performs this procedure in Stamford, at The Stamford Hospital.

There has been a certain amount of derision heaped on our own Prime Minister for trying to bask in the glory that is the new American President (whose popularity may still stand as high as Dubya's did at this stage but whose policies are becoming ever more toxic, if one may use that hackneyed word). But on the other side of the Pond they see it differently.
Blog after blog has expressed embarrassment about the cancelled press conference in the Rose Garden, about the President's inability to show friendly feelings towards the country that is seen by many Americans, including those in Congress, as their greatest ally. Finally, about those DVDs, not what most people consider to be an adequate response to Gordon Brown's gifts (chosen, one assumes by the FCO who still do this sort of thing quite well). Scott Johnson on Powerline sums up, quoting liberally from the Daily Mail and Iain Martin's piece in the Daily Telegraph as well as American sources.
Could it be that the British media, particularly the Telegraph, that was so enamoured of Barack Obama when he was candidate that it refused to report the campaign, preferring to turn itself into an extended fanzine, is beginning to turn? Or is it merely being chalked up as another Brown failure? We on this blog consider both leaders to be incompetent on their performance so far.

 Species 2000 is a "federatio …
 Species 2000 is a "federation" of database organizations working closely with users, taxonomists and sponsoring agencies. The goal of the Species 2000 project is to create a validated checklist of all the world's species (plants, animals, fungi and microbes). This is being achieved by bringing together an array of global species databases covering each of the major groups of organisms.
 Each database covers all known species in the group, using a consistent taxonomic system. The participating databases are widely distributed throughout the world and currently number 52. The existing global species databases presently account for some 60% of the total known species, so substantial investment in new databases will be needed for full coverage of all taxa to be achieved.

GALE is a learning community focusing on education about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues.
Dear members of LGBT Youth Organizations,
UNESCO is organizing a youth participation program. Youth organizations can submit a proposal to do a project and get more involved with society. The letter available to download on their homepage here, assists you in submitting a proposal. The letter is also attached to the bottom of this article.
The Global Alliance for LGBT Education (GALE) is a formal consultative partner of UNESCO since 2008 and we would like to make the voice of LGBTI people more heard in UNESCO. We also want to increase our cooperation with youth organizations, so we see this as an opportunity.
Attached to the letter, you will find:
The pre-filled in form makes it easier for you to just edit it and submit it. GALE has written a role for itself in the proposal, because we would like to cooperate with you. If you don't like this, you are of course free to delete our role and budget and make a proposal yourself. If you like to cooperate but want to change the GALE support and budget, please contact us about this to avoid misunderstandings at a later stage.
Note: the deadline for the submission of project proposals: 12 August 2013
Some youth groups are not registered as an organization and do not the required Statutes. If you are willing, GALE could submit the proposal on your behalf. If you have any questions or need help with your proposal, let us know. We are standing by.
Best regards,
Peter Dankmeijer
Executive Director, GALE

A DOUBLE strike from GC Giancovich earned Newport all the points at Bemerton Heath Harlequins today (Saturday) in the Sydenhams Wessex League Premier Division.
The Islanders took the win with a goal in each half, and were boosted in the 75th minute when Bemerton had two players sent off.
In Division 1, Cowes Sports's hopes of promotion were dealt a blow with a 0-0 draw at Amesbury Town, although with the top two sides - Petersfield Town and Andover Town - also drawing in their top-of-the-table clash, the Yachtsmen remain five points behind a promotion place.
Meanwhile, East Cowes Vics lost 3-0 at home to Andover New Street.

A east side fire that started around 10:30 Sunday morning displaces one man living in the upstairs apartment, until an electrician can inspect the wiring in the house.
Smoke was pouring from the roof of the multi-apartment house at 519 E. 9th Street when crews arrived on the scene. They had the fire under control in about fifteen minutes. "The fire appears to have started in the attic of the home. One occupant appears to have been sleeping at the time of the fire, he was awoken by a smoke detector," said Jeff Carroll, Erie's Deputy Fire Chief.
No other residents appeared to be living in the building and everyone evacuated safely.
The fire was electrical, according to Erie fire inspector John Widomski. Widomski said it was likely caused by old or faulty wiring in the attic.

It takes something a little special to come from outside cartoon giants Pixar and DreamWorks and make a splash in the race for Best Animated Feature at the Academy Awards. Pixar have won the prize six out of eleven years, and of the winners, only Hiyao Miyazaki's "Spirited Away," which picked up the gold in 2003, was produced outside the U.S. But make no mistake, French animator Sylvain Chomet is something a little special.
The filmmaker, who started out as a comics writer now has two nominations in the category, for "The Triplets of Belleville" (aka "Belleville Rendez-Vous") in 2004, and "The Illusionist" in 2011, and while the films were pipped at the post to the prize (by "Finding Nemo" and "Toy Story 3" respectively), he's established himself as one of the most original, enjoyable and moving voices in the world of animated film. "The Illusionist," a tribute to the great Jacques Tati, didn't quite have the cult success of "The Triplets of Belleville," but it looks as though Chomet might be going back to the well, as Screen Daily reports that the director is currently in the early stages of working on a prequel to his breakthrough hit.
The film will be entitled "Swing Poppa Swing" (Screen Daily list it with only one p, but we're making an educated guess that it's a typo), and will focus on the early lives of the titular elderly singing triplets who featured in the earlier film, (and whose song, "Belleville Rendez-Vous," also got an Oscar nod). Chomet has a treatment for the project, and designed a number of new characters, and is currently working on a script, which he's meant to deliver in the summer. Les Armateurs, who were behind the original, and also "Ernest & Celestine," which will premiere at Cannes this week, are backing the project. Given the timeframes on animated projects, it's likely 2014 or 2015 at the earliest before we see this, but it's good to know a new film from Chomet is in the works. Watch the trailer for the original below for a little reminder.

Is Nicolas De Crécy involved? The style of Triplets really belonged to him with Chomet taking the credit.

Brilliant movie! The Artist wished it were The Triplets. Can't wait for the next one. Stroke of genius to give us the backstory!

Let's not forget that Chomet also got an Oscar nomination in the Animated Short category back in 1997 for the delightfully dark The Old Lady and the Pigeons. This should be interesting. Looking forward to it.

And it looks like Lindley and that {fantastic} offensive line may be in the process of costing Ken Whisenhunt his job.
Christian Ponder has been BQBL gold! Those of use who decided to participate in that fantastic league will be telling tales to our grandchildren about the Ponder/Sanchez/Lindley-Skelton triumvirate.
I suspect the only reason that Wilson is still in the NFL is that he worked under Mularkey in Atlanta and the coach wanted someone familiar with his offense when he moved to Jax. A lucky break for Wilson that Mularkey moved, because Atlanta had seen enough.
I can't believe that there would be much of a market for Alex Smith. Other than playing a bunch of games because nobody could take the job from him, what has he accomplished? His offense was designed to prevent him from failing, not to exploit his talents.
On the other hand, I would think there might be considerable interest in Michael Vick. I wonder how Whisenhunt would do with him, assuming he survives in AZ?
I once had quite a bit of hope for two young QB's, Ponder and Jake Locker. Now I believe that neither will ever be a true threat in the NFL. Ponder hasn't grown and Locker is still wild.

Thomas Wayne is a fictional character in the Batman series of comic books. Dr. Thomas Wayne was the father of Bruce Wayne, and husband of Martha Wayne, as well as a gifted surgeon and philanthropist. He was also the inheritor of the Wayne family fortune, which was built through industry and real estate by previous generations.
He is first introduced in Detective Comics #33 (November 1939) in the first exposition of Batman's origin story. In the story, he and his wife are murdered by a mugger as young Bruce looks on helplessly. This trauma influences Bruce to become Batman when he grows up.[2] Decades after he was murdered, the character of Thomas Wayne would play a major role in Geoff Johns' Flashpoint crossover series.
Thomas Wayne is seldom shown outside of Bruce Wayne's and Alfred Pennyworth's memories of him, and often through Bruce's dreams and nightmares. He is frequently depicted as looking very much like Bruce Wayne, but sporting a thick mustache.
A notable occurrence in Thomas Wayne's biography was when Bruce fell through a fissure on the Wayne property, into what would one day become the Batcave (sometimes the fissure is replaced with an abandoned well). Thomas Wayne eventually rescued his terrified son from the cave.
Thomas Wayne's role in his son's future vigilante career is expanded upon in The First Batman, a Silver Age tale which reveals that Dr. Wayne attacked and defeated hoodlums while dressed like a "Bat-Man" for a masquerade ball. According to the story, Thomas Wayne's actions resulted in crime boss Lew Moxon being imprisoned; ten years later, Moxon orders Joe Chill to murder Dr. Wayne. When Batman realizes Moxon ordered his parents killed, he confronts Moxon, who now suffers from amnesia and thus has no memory of Thomas Wayne. When Batman's costume is torn, he wears his father's in order to frighten Moxon. Sure enough, the costume restores Moxon's memory; the former crime boss panics, believing that he is being attacked by Thomas Wayne's ghost, and flees into the streets where he is struck and killed by a truck. These events were retold in the 1980 miniseries The Untold Legend of the Batman. Following the Crisis on Infinite Earths, Dr. Wayne as the "First Batman" was retconned - he instead attended the masquerade ball as Zorro. This was retconned once more in the pages of Superman/Batman, where Superman, hoping to reverse some universe-altering change in the time streams, lands in a version of Gotham City in which Thomas never died, finding him giving out Halloween candy in the original Batman costume.
In many of the modern interpretations of the character, such as those by Frank Miller and Jeph Loeb, Thomas is portrayed as having been a distant, stern father, bestowing kindness and generosity on his patients rather than his son.
Thomas Wayne was once suspected to be the father of Bane, a man who, in the Knightfall story arc, breaks his son's back; however, DNA testing proved this to be false, and Bane's real father was recently revealed to be King Snake.
It is revealed in Batman: The Long Halloween that, shortly before his murder, Thomas Wayne saved the life of gangster Carmine Falcone. Falcone's father, Vincent, came to Wayne Manor and begged Thomas to save his dying son, who had been shot in a gangfight by rival gangster Luigi Maroni. Thomas wanted to take the younger Falcone to the hospital, but Vincent insisted that nobody know about the shooting; the surgery was thus performed in the dining room with Alfred assisting. After saving Carmine Falcone's life, he was offered a reward or favor but refused to accept any form of payment. Unbeknownst to Thomas, young Bruce watched this all in silence from afar. Years later, Bruce contemplates whether Gotham would have been better off had his father let Falcone die, to which Alfred explains that he would have helped anyone in need.
In Superman/Batman #50, it is revealed that, while on a drive with a pregnant Martha, Thomas witnessed a strange object fall to Earth. As he inspects it, Thomas' consciousness is transported to Krypton, and presented in a holographic form. There, he encounters Jor-El, who wishes to know what kind of a world Earth is, as it is one of many possible candidates for him to send his son, Kal-El, to. Thomas tells Jor-El that the people of Earth aren't perfect, but are essentially a good and kind race, who would raise the child right, convincing Jor-El to send Kal-El there. Upon returning to his body, Thomas uses the technology in the Kryptonian probe to revitalize a failing Wayne Enterprises. Years later, the alien technology would be the basis of much of Batman's crimefighting technology. Thomas recorded his encounter in a diary, which was discovered by Bruce in the present day.
When exiting a theatre, Thomas and Martha Wayne are murdered by a mugger right in front of their son, Bruce. This tragedy shocks Gotham, leads to Park Row (the street where it occurred) being labeled Crime Alley, and most importantly, serves as the motivation for Bruce one day becoming Batman.
Due to the many writers who have worked on Batman stories, and constant references due to the central importance of the murder to the Batman mythos, many of the factors concerning the event have varied.
Interestingly, Batman #430, which portrays the aftermath of Jason Todd's death, includes a scene in which Thomas Wayne was having trouble with some investments, and was going to sell short. Bruce thought that he needed some exercise to take his mind off of it and so offered to play catch with him, but Thomas angrily said no, striking him across the face. A hurt and resentful Bruce declares to his mother that he wished Thomas were dead. In an ironic twist of fate, Bruce's parents would be murdered that night.
Batman: Dark Victory asserts that the Wayne murders were the main cause of much of the corruption and crime in Gotham City; once it became clear that even wealthy, important people could be murdered so easily, citizens began to lose faith in the police, and the police themselves started to lose faith in their importance, leading to corruption within the force.
Consistent elements have included Thomas Wayne being murdered by a pistol, and Martha Wayne's pearl necklace being torn, with the pearls falling into the gutter. In comic continuity, the murder took place at 10:47 p.m.[citation needed] (the Batcave is accessed by Batman through his manor by turning the hands of a grandfather clock to this time), on the 26th of June.[3]
Thomas and Martha Wayne are notable as two comic book characters who have remained dead. Since his death, Thomas Wayne has only appeared in the Batman series in flashback and in the occasional out-of-body experience or hallucination. His most significant appearance in this latter category is in the miniseries Batman: Death and the Maidens by Greg Rucka. In this story, Batman ingests an elixir given to him by his enemy, Ra's al Ghul, and believes he is having a conversation with his dead parents. Interestingly, both Thomas and Martha disapprove of their son's costumed crusade, but Thomas admits that he merely disapproves of what being Batman has cost his son rather than actually disliking the concept itself. As she and Thomas depart, however, they assure Bruce that just because the passing of time has lessened his grief does not mean that he no longer cares for them, and, as a result, Bruce is able to accept that he is Batman because he chooses to be, not because he has to be.
In the alternative timeline of Flashpoint, where Bruce died instead of Thomas and Martha, causing Thomas Wayne to become Batman and Martha the Joker, the alternative versions of the characters share the same point of view of their post-mortem counterparts in Death and the Maidens: while Thomas Wayne, despite knowing the burden Batman put on himself, shows to be proud of the sacrifices his son did in the correct timeline (having Flash bring a letter to his alternate-timeline son), Martha is further driven mad with grief and sadness, killing herself because she's unable to accept the suffering Bruce would be fated to bear.
During Batman R.I.P., it is alleged that Thomas and Martha Wayne were leading a double life, secretly partaking in criminal endeavors, drug abuse and orgies while presenting a façade of respectability to the outside world. The alleged evidence is revealed to be doctored in the aftermath of the storyline, however.
Doctor Simon Hurt, head of The Black Glove and the mastermind behind Batman R.I.P., actually claims to be Thomas Wayne to both Bruce and Alfred Pennyworth. Although both of them rebuke him without hesitation, Hurt never explicitly drops the claim.
In the ongoing follow-up series, Batman & Robin, it is suggested that some, if not all, of these allegations have begun to circulate around Gotham; Dick Grayson and Damian Wayne attend a high society function where a few party guests vaguely mention the existence of rumors surrounding the family, and Dick tries to tie Bruce's absence from the public eye with being occupied with clearing his family's reputation.[4] Matters come to a head when Hurt returns to the city, claiming to be Thomas Wayne in order to take control of Wayne Manor and establish himself as the new Batman, but Grayson and Damian outsmart him.
It is hinted at during the course of the Batman and Robin series that Simon Hurt's actual identity is Thomas Wayne, albeit one from the 17th century who was a 'black sheep' of the Wayne family and prolongs his life through occult rituals. The Return of Bruce Wayne miniseries and its fallout Bruce Wayne: The Road Home cements Hurt's status as the elder Thomas Wayne from the Puritan Ages, driven insane by his meeting with Barbatos, the Hyper-Adapter sent through time along with Bruce Wayne to ensure the effectiveness of Darkseid's "Omega Sanction".
In Batman: Castle of the Bat, Doctor Bruce Wayne discovers the preserved brain of his father deep below the research university he works at. He steals this and other body parts in a desperate attempt to revive his beloved father from death. This doesn't work out well due to various factors outside his control but the part of the creature that still recognizes and loves his son does it's best to help Bruce escape his enemies.[5]
In Batman: Dark Knight Dynasty, Thomas and Martha are saved from death when 'Valentin Sinclair'- really Vandal Savage, who in this reality has a long-standing interest and admiration for the Wayne family despite the fact that they often end up opposing him when they learn about his plans- scared off Joe Chill, Sinclair becoming a partner in Wayne Enterprises, only for Sinclair to have them killed when they threaten to expose his plan to divert a meteor that gave him his powers back to Earth so that he can study it. Their deaths- triggered by Sinclair's fear-inducing henchman Scarecrone causing them to remember the mugging, driving them to flee Chill by running off their balcony- prompt Bruce to become Batman to investigate, Gordon having written their deaths off as an accident and Bruce unwilling to investigate himself because of the risk to his new wife, Julie Madison.
In the graphic novel written by Geoff Johns and art by Gary Frank, Batman: Earth One, Thomas was a physician who had run for mayor against Oswald Cobblepot. Cobblepot had attempted to arrange his opponent's murder during the latter's outing to a movie with his family, but a mugger got to them first and killed Thomas and his wife.
In the Flashpoint event, Thomas Wayne rather than Bruce appears as Batman. Thomas is shown to have Joe Chill's gun in the Batcave's trophy display, from when he killed Chill in a brutal beating. Thomas is more violent than Bruce and willing to kill to achieve his goals, as shown when he throws a young villain named Yo-Yo off a rooftop after she refuses to cooperate with him to stop the Joker. When Barry Allen enters the cave, Thomas attacks him, but is surprised to hear Barry call him Bruce.[6] Allen reveals to the elder Wayne that the timeline has been altered. Thomas stops fighting and asks him the details of his son's life after his own death. Willing to change history and ready to sacrifice his life to restore his son's, Thomas helps Barry build a device to recreate the accident that gave Barry his speed.[7]
Wayne is the subject of the mini-series, Flashpoint: Batman - Knight of Vengeance, written by Brian Azzarello and drawn by Eduardo Risso, in a story set in after Wayne's first attempt to restore Barry's powers. Azzarello stated that Thomas Wayne does not care about crime outside Gotham and that he funds his war on crime with his successful casinos.[8] Thomas works with James Gordon, the chief of Gotham's privatized police, who appears to be aware of his identity. Oswald Cobbelpot appears as his security chief, mainly handling the casinos while Thomas fights crime. The local judge Harvey Dent is distressed when his twin children are kidnapped by the Joker, causing him to threaten Wayne with legal action.[9][clarification needed] Gordon calls Batman and tries to convince him that he does not have to fight villains alone. Later, Batman is shocked when the Joker sends him footage of Gordon dying at the criminal's hands. Batman finds Joker in old Wayne Manor and revealing that Joker's identity as Martha Wayne.[10] The death of their son and resulting breakdown created their current enmity. After Batman saves one of Dent's children, who had accidentally been shot by Gordon during his rescue attempt, he resumes pursuing Martha. In the final battle, Thomas reveals his recent discovery that they were supposed to die that night at Crime Alley and how they are alive now. Thomas promises her that he will do whatever it takes to bring their son back, despite it costing him and Martha their lives. The revelations apparently restore Martha's mental stability and she seemingly reconciles with Thomas, but when Martha asks her husband what Bruce becomes after their death, Thomas reveals that their son would become Batman. Martha becomes hysterical, flees from Thomas and falls to her death through the same hole that Bruce once fell into as a child.[11]
After a second attempt successfully restores the Flash's powers, Batman works with him to rally a team to oppose Thawne's changes to history. Thomas contacts Cyborg for help in tracking down "Project: Superman", the government branch responsible for raising Kal-El, only to be disappointed at Kal-El's frail appearance. Kal-El's powers manifest as he is exposed to sunlight and he flies away.[12]
After escaping Project Superman with the help of Element Woman, Flash's memories change more drastically, forcing Batman to attempt to prevent the speedster's memories from altering. Wayne injects him with a drug that slows down electrical activity in the brain. When Barry finds out that Hal Jordan died attempting to stop the War, Flash elects to try to save this altered world, since there is no guarantee that they could defeat Professor Zoom in the original world. Thomas joins Flash as the group heads to New Themyscira in Batman's plane and are joined by Enchantress. Wonder Woman and Aquaman are fighting one on one until the team arrives. The battle seems to be in their favor until Billy Batson dies and Professor Zoom reveals himself.[13] Batman stabs him in the back using an Amazon's sword and learns that altered timeline was actually created by Flash as part of an attempt to save his mother. Before he acts on this new information, Thomas is fatally wounded by the Enchantress. Before Flash attempts to restore the old world, Thomas thanks him and gives him a letter to Bruce. Thomas is eager to reunite with his wife in death. After the Flash apparently restores the timeline, he gives Bruce the letter, telling Bruce that he could not have restored history without Thomas's help.[14]
The letter encourages Bruce to move on from his childhood tragedy, as well as encouraging him to pursue a closer relationship with his son Damian Wayne.[15] It becomes a part of the Batcave's display dedicated to the memory of his parents.[16] However, despite Bruce's attempts to follow his father's encouragement, Damian is later killed battling his own clone, leaving Bruce suffers as Thomas had in Flashpoint.[17][18]
In JLA: Earth 2 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely, the Thomas Wayne of the antimatter universe is the father of the supervillain Owlman. Like his original counterpart, he married Martha Kane and fathered Bruce Wayne. However, this version also had a second child, Thomas Wayne Jr. After Martha and Bruce are gunned down by a crooked policeman when Thomas Sr. refused to accompany him for questioning (when Thomas Wayne performed an "illegal medical operation."), Thomas Jr. becomes Owlman to get revenge on the justice system. It is later revealed that Thomas Wayne Sr. is currently acting as commissioner of the Gotham City Police Department, seeking to bring his son to justice with the help of a cadre of idealistic officers. Owlman finds it his goal to "punish" his father for letting his mother and brother die.[19]
In Mark Millar's Superman: Red Son, the parents of Batman (never named) are anti-communist protesters in the Soviet Union. They are executed in their home by NKVD Commissar Pyotr Roslov for printing and distributing anti-communist pamphlets. Their son witnesses the murders and attempts to overthrow the Communist Party of the Soviet Union when he is an adult.[20]

Captain Cur
Lawyer to the Whip
On every accursed criminal pirate ship,
one is chosen called, Lawyer to the Whip,
the crew elected Justice to this cruel job
to melt discipline as they beg and sob.
Chosen was he, not apparently clear
perhaps he generates just modest fear
he is completely blind in both his eyes
and when the tip snaps it strikes mainly sky.
One day his stroke broke upon more than air
he caught a thieving pirate on the rear.
Forall shows the scar Justice left behind,
Forall moons blind Justice, guiltless in crime.
Justice built thick shoulders and arms in youth
and he carries around his whip named, Truth.
The parrot keeps count as the flogging slows
then argues disclosures nobody knows.
The Captain stays perched on his brig, high,
once Justice struck wide and popped out his eye.
Crime became rampant on the Captain's good ship.
He called in Justice and un-lawyered his whip.
He then fitted Justice with both his good eyes.
He rallied the crew for a evening surprise,
they doled out the rum as the Captain stood tall,
and toasted the crew, Truth and Justice for all!

Kennewick, WA (PRWEB) April 22, 2014
This week is National Bed Bug Awareness Week and the experts at Senske Services are looking to spread awareness and provide bed bug prevention tips as the summer travel season approaches. Bed bugs are still a problem here in the United States, and each year, coming across bed bugs in public places are becoming increasingly more common than in previous years past.
Bed bugs are not about sanitation - in fact a clean house or hotel room has little to do with where the bed bugs came from. In most situations, people are the cause of transporting these little bugs from one place to another. This is especially the case for travelers, as bed bugs are known to attach themselves to luggage and clothing.
Senske offers the following prevention tips to consider when you travel:
For more information on bed bug prevention, visit Senske Pest Control. If you suspect that you may have bed bugs in your home or business, Senske recommends conducting an inspection before any cleaning or rearranging has occurred. As always, Senske has experienced and licensed professional pest control technicians to assist with inspections and treatment plans.
About Senske Services:
Senske Services, Inc. is a leading lawn, tree and pest control service provider that is locally owned and operated, with its corporate office based in Kennewick, Washington.

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - A Lubbock family you've seen in the news asks for your prayers again. Joe Bill Rogers tells NewsChannel 11 his son was a passenger in Saturday night's crash near Andrews.

Michael Smith, 35, of Levelland and Cody Halliburton, 52, of Lubbock died in Saturday's crash. Rogers tells us his son William was riding in the truck with them, when the Department of Public Safety reports Felix Jaramillo, 31, of Seminole crossed the median of F.M. 1788 and slammed into their pick-up.
