Flower orders have been coming in non-stop today at the Flower Gallery in downtown Valdosta.
"We've been extremely busy. It's been a blessing," said Susan Mullis, Flower Gallery Owner.
Mullis said customers began placing their orders as soon as the shop opened this morning.
"We did have a line at the door and the phones were ringing off the hook at 7 o' clock this mornin'," explained Mullis.
The most popular item has, of course, been...
"Roses. Roses, roses, roses," said Mullis.
And that's exactly what Crystal Shephard received from her husband today. Shephard's husband recently returned from deployment overseas, making this delivery even more special.
"Wow, thank you so much," Shephard exclaimed as the roses were delivered to her.
"I'm honestly a little surprised," Shephard admitted, "but they're very nice; beautiful. Just glad my husband's here for Valentine's Day."
That's what today is all about. Expressing love for that special someone. And a dozen roses isn't a bad way to do that.

text: This new release from Beefeater contains a blend of 12 natural botanicals sourced from around the world including hand-prepared grapefruit, bitter almond, orris root, and Seville orange peel. Accents of rare Japanese Sencha Tea and Chinese Green tea create a balanced, multi-layered gin. Distilled in London, Beefeater 24 takes its name from the unique 24-hour steeping process. It is the creation of Desmond Payne, the world's most experienced Gin Master Distiller. Drawing on his 4O years of distilling expertise, Payne spent 18 months perfecting the recipe. In addition to different botanicals, Beefeater 24 is "cut" earlier during distillation to retain its freshness and vitality. This means that only the heart of the distillation is used. The first and last elements of distillation – the heads and tails – are discarded. Prior to launching Beefeater 24, Payne and Beefeater worked with mixologists, such as Gary Regan, Sasha Petraske and Nick Strangeway, to develop cocktail recipes to enhance the spirit's botanicals.

Appleton confident Williamson will deliver
9:00am Saturday 9th February 2013 in Sport By Andy Cryer, Blackburn Rovers reporter
BLAKCBURN Rovers manager Michael Appleton is backing new signing Lee Williamson to have an impact at Ewood Park, claiming the midfielder has a point to prove.
Former Sheffield United man Williamson arrives at Rovers after spending the past month as a free agent, following his release from Portsmouth, and the 30-year-old has signed a deal until the summer of 2014.
And despite spending the last thre years in League One, Appleton is confident Williamson can handle the step-up after a back injury hampered a promising start to his career at then top-flight Watford.
"I would like to think the players I bring into this club have got a point to prove," said Appleton. "I want to bring players in who are really hungry to be successful. "Lee had a terrible time with his back and all sorts of problems after the operation. He knows what it is like to be down in the dumps and feel not too clever about himself.
"He has an opportunity to come to a fantastic club and prove what a good player he is."
Williamson, who also helped Preston North End secure a Championship play-off spot back in 2009, will miss the game against Ipswich this afternoon through illness, but Appleton is confident he can add depth in a number of positions once he recovers.
"Lee is someone who can play in a lot of positions. His favourite position is centre midfield, he was very successful playing on the right for Sheffield United last season, and he scored 14 goals from there."
"He also can play in either full-back position. He has bags of energy, very aggressive. I think he will surprise a few people."

If Appleton rates him that'll do me, it shows he's building his own team. Yakubu came on a free from Everton, Ryan Nelsen cost F.A as did Samba. Just because another club isn't beating their door down doesn't mean they aren't quality players. Bentley is a prime example of how it can swing the other way at the drop of a hat.

"One cannot level one's moral lance at every evil in the universe. There are just too many of them. But you can do something, and the difference between doing something and doing nothing is everything."
Daniel Berrigan
"We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those, who having eyes, see not, and having ears, hear not..? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it might cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know.. it now."
Patrick Henry
Since the events of September 11, 2001, the U.S. Government has pursued its war on terror on two fronts. The obvious one is the military front, which has taken American soldiers to battle in places like
Thomas Naylor, a
This notion has been used to justify targeting Muslim charities in the U.S. and since September 11, 2001, six major U.S. Muslim charities and several smaller Muslim charities have been shut down.6 Naylor compares this strategy to someone furiously throwing lethal punches in the air and hoping there are not too many innocent bystanders, or at least no independent witnesses, in the general vicinity.7, 8
In Satanic Purses, he explores the reasons that Islamic charities have suffered this fate. Although bigotry and political opportunism play a significant role, Naylor finds this is not the whole story. The problem is compounded by a profound ignorance of Islamic culture and the Quran.
In many ways, the Quran lays out an early blueprint for a welfare state. Prosecuting attorneys and national security experts often have no basis for understanding an economic ideology so contrary to the one prevalent in the West; this in turn leads to both misinterpretation and misrepresentation. According to Naylor:
Part of the West's confusion over Islamic charities arises because the Quran supports an economic ideology very different from the canons of savage capitalism so beloved of today's bond brokers and televangelists. Islamic ethic imposes on Muslims as their primary duty the creating of a just society that treats the poor with respect. It favors equity over economic hierarchy, cooperation over unscrupulous competition, and charitable redistribution over selfish accumulation.9
The first wave of attacks on U.S. Muslim charity came in December 2001 when the government closed down the three largest charities, Holy Land Foundation (HLF), Global Relief Foundation (GRF) and Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), accusing each of supporting terrorism. In each of these cases, the charities assets were frozen and their principals imprisoned without bail.10
In its report Muslim Charities and the War on Terror, OMB Watch voices its concerns about the treatment of Muslim charities and the people involved with them, along with the questionable evidence used to shut them down. The closures have resulted in blocking humanitarian assistance to people who desperately need it, denying these charities the right to due process, and holding the individuals associated with their humanitarian work guilty until proven innocent. The report concludes that, despite their expanded investigative powers, the authorities have failed to produce evidence of terror financing by U.S.-based charities.11
The government assault on U.S.-based Muslim charities has left many Muslim communities with some of their most esteemed members behind bars. Associates of charities are often held without bail and subjected to smear campaigns by the government and press long before their cases come anywhere near a court of law.12 They are denied the most basic rights of due process: the right to liberty, to be secure in their persons from unreasonable search and seizure, to a speedy trial by an impartial jury, to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusations, and to be presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.13 Many Muslims have been virtually forced to accept plea agreements, either because they did not believe they could get fair trials in the post-9/11 climate and the consequences of losing at trial under present draconian federal sentencing laws was too big a gamble to take, or because they were threatened with being declared enemy combatants and stripped of their rights under the Geneva Conventions and the U.S. Constitution.
Those few who chose to go to trial, trusting in the integrity of the U.S. legal system, faced gross impediments to achieving even a measure of justice. In addition to being held without bail, they were bankrupted, denied access to their own records and counsel, and subjected to trials that were not really about what they were ostensibly about.14 Where no link to terrorism could be found, the government prosecuted for routine white-collar crimes and then declared successes in the "war on terror.15
When Attorney General John Ashcroft announced his resignation in November of 2004, he gave as evidence of success in the war on terror 211 criminal prosecutions, 478 deportations, and $124 million in frozen assets.16 A 2006 publication, Terrorist Trial Report Cardâ? (NYU School of Lawâs Center on Law and Security) lists many of the cases he cited.17 But what Ashcroft neglected to mention, and the Center on Law and Security failed to address, was that almost none of these cases involved any actual terrorism convictions. Indeed, at the time of Ashcroft's resignation there had been only one bona fide terrorism conviction, that of the British shoe-bomber, Richard Reid.18
Naylor points out that the government is aware of the discrepancy between what people are convicted of and what they are sentenced for: When reporters queried these oddities, a federal prosecutor responded: Bona fide terrorism is a matter of semantics. I don't think you can draw conclusions based on what a person is convicted of. Indeed. In a further explanation of the inner workings of the justice system, he noted: We charge them with readily provable offenses rather than what
That the government is set on a terrorist prosecution from the outset in many of these cases is illustrated clearly in a 2003 Terrorist Financing paper by Jeff Breinholt, Deputy Chief of the Department of Justice's Counterterrorism Section.20 Under a section titled, clean money cases Breinholt listed not only people who had already signed a plea agreement, but many who had yet to have their days in court. In other words, regardless of the defense strategy, whether plea agreement or trial, the result would be heralded as a win for the government in its War on Terror.
At the time the article was published, July 2003, Enaam Arnaout, of Benevolence International Foundation (BIF), had been held without bail for more than a year and had already accepted a plea agreement to a charge that had nothing to do with supporting terrorism.21
Others named in the 2003 report, more recently arrested, included: Dr. Rafil Dhafir, of Help the Needy (HTN); Sami Omar Al-Hussayen, associated with the Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA); and Dr. Sami al-Arian, a Palestinian professor from Florida,22 who had been held without bail for four months. They had not accepted plea agreements and none of the cases had come to court.23 Arnaout accepted a plea deal after being held for 16 months of solitary confinement in 23-hour lockdown. He and his lawyer believed this was his best option, given the political climate. Furthermore, going to trial would have been very costly and carried the risk of a 90-year prison term.24 For pleading guilty to a single count of racketeering conspiracy,? in which he admitted using BIF donations to provide boots, tents, uniforms, and an ambulance to units of the Bosnian army at a time when Muslims in Bosnia were attempting to defend themselves against Serbian atrocities, he received a sentence of more than 11 years over and above the 16 months he had already spent in solitary confinement.25
Dr. Rafil Dhafir, founder of the charity Help the Needy, was arrested along with other HTN associates in a high-profile operation on February 26, 2003.26 His charity had a history of collecting donations and sending aid to starving Iraqi civilians during the brutal embargo on that country. The government exerted great pressure on Dhafir, including its refusal to release HTN money to pay for wheelchairs for handicapped Iraqis, to persuade him to accept a plea bargain.27 Despite all the pressure and the possibility of a 250-year prison sentence, Dhafir chose to go to trial. He was subjected to a show trial that lasted four months and resulted in his conviction for conspiring to violate the embargo on trade with Iraq and for money laundering (forwarding the charitable contributions), as well as multiple counts of submitting inaccurate Medicare billings and of tax evasion (deducting his own generous contributions to HTN). Any mention that the government had prosecuted on these charges only after trying unsuccessfully to tie him to terrorist groups was strictly forbidden. After being held without bail for 31 months, he was sentenced to 22 years in prison. His appeal to the Second Circuit is pending.
Writing about Dhafir's case and the money-laundering charges in Satanic Purses, Professor Naylor says: Yet all the money he had sent went not in cash but first by check to a local bank, then by cashiers check to Jordan, where it was used to buy emergency supplies. Not only was it completely open, but Dhafir kept a careful ledger, which the government seized and used as evidence. This is strange behavior for a dedicated money-launderer.?28
Meanwhile, Sami Omar Al-Hussayen, a graduate student from Saudi Arabia, was arrested on an unrelated matter in Boise, Idaho, on February 26, 2003, the same morning that associates of the Help the Needy (HTN) charity were arrested in Syracuse, New York. Yet his name appears on the same press release in which the DOJ announced "funders of terrorismâ€? had been arrested.29 After being held without bail under 23-hour lockdown for 17 months, Al-Hussayen was cleared of all charges at trial which focused on his maintenance of the Islamic Assembly of North America (IANA)30 website — and deported to Saudi Arabia on July 21, 2004.31
Regarding the case of Sami Omar Al-Hussayen, Naylor writes, On the surface that might seem another embarrassing failure [for the government]. But it succeeded in demonstrating to Muslim males that the Justice Department had the power to destroy lives. Prior to his legal vindication, al-Hussayenâ's wife and children were deported; his friends were scared off; his reputation was ruined; and of course, he had spent eighteen months under lock and key. Ultimately the government agreed to drop the immigration charge, too, if he in turn agreed not to appeal his deportation order.?32
Professor Sami al-Arian, a Palestinian, was arrested on February 20, 2003, and held without bail for 28 months prior to a 6-month trial that included 80 government witnesses. The verdict, on December 7, 2005, was not guilty on the most serious charges of abetting terrorism, and the jury was hung on other lesser charges because the judge interrupted deliberations.33 The government refused to release him. Last year, believing it was the only way he could secure his release, Al-Arian accepted a plea agreement that included a few extra months in jail and his deportation upon release. Despite this agreement he was given a maximum 57-month sentence. He is currently being held in contempt of court for refusal to testify in front of a Grand Jury. While he is held on contempt charges his original criminal sentence is not running.34
Unfortunately these four cases are not unique; rather, they are just a sampling of how these prosecutions even when unsuccessful have wrecked so many people's lives.35
The assault on Muslim charities and their principals has had enormous detrimental psychological and financial impact on Muslim communities. Not only do many Muslims live in fear of a knock at the door, but their communities are also burdened with the financial support of those families with breadwinners in prison and with colossal legal bills for defending their members against a government with unlimited finances, a government unwilling to let facts get in the way of its pursuit of success stories in the war on terror.?36
Dr. Dhafir, mentioned above, is a founding member of the mosque in Syracuse, New York, and an esteemed member of that community. An Iraqi-born oncologist, he had been a U.S. citizen for almost 30 years when he was indicted. He and his American wife were very active in the local community and Dhafir often spoke at events and on local TV and radio about cancer care. In the early 1990s, in direct response to the humanitarian catastrophe created by the U.S. and U.K.-sponsored UN sanctions on Iraq, he founded the charity HTN and for 13 years openly sent food and aid to starving civilians who were the sanctions victims.37,38
A devout man, he devoted much of his life to prayer and charity and, according to the government, donated half his income to charity each year. In his oncology practice he treated those without medical insurance for free, paying for expensive chemotherapy medicine out of his own pocket and telling patients to pay whatever they could whenever they could.39,
As he was arrested on his way to work, just weeks before the U.S. invasion of Iraq,40 other agents broke down the door of his home and held guns to Mrs. Dhafir's head. Both Ayman Jarwan, Executive Director of HTN, and Osameh Al-Wahaidy, were arrested the same morning, agents having awakened their families, including young children.41 At the same time, between the hours of 6:00 and 10:00 a.m., 150 Muslim families who had donated to the HTN were interrogated.42, 43 It was later that same day that Attorney General Ashcroft made his announcement about funders of terrorism having been arrested.44
In a statement handed to the press on the day of his sentencing, Dhafir said: What was the result of Feb 26, 2003 besides imprisoning of innocent people? Scores of innocent elderly American cancer patients died needlessly, innumerable tens of thousands of Iraqi needy (children, women and men) died, and more than that suffered malnutrition and the humiliation of poverty. An entire segment of our society here was treated as criminals, intimidated, interrogated and threatened. Never in the history of the Islamic Society of Central New York had we had so many cases of depression and suicide that the mosque had to engage the services of a psychiatrist to help out. The dream of this Republic being a sanctuary for the oppressed was shattered on that day and a new sad reality was erected in its place.45 Although not under arrest, Mrs. Dhafir spent much of the day in her nightclothes and was not allowed to go to the bathroom without an escort. Meanwhile, approximately 85 agents collected evidence at the Dhafir home.46
After his arrest, Al-Wahaidy was taken to the Justice Center in Syracuse and spent all day in his pajamas handcuffed to a wall bar.47 Jarwan was held without bail for two weeks and then released when the judge granted him bail. Prosecutors tried to deny bail to Jarwan because he had a degree in nuclear physics and suggested that he was capable of making a dirty bomb,â€? but the judge, fortunately, agreed with Jarwanâ's lawyer that this was a ludicrous suggestion.48

Town considers hosting race in May

We miss the Devil Mountain Run - it was a great way for families and friends to come together and enjoy a morning of running. So many other local communities have their local run and it would be a shame that we would let this one go. Primos is fun but you end up in SR. I fully agree with Marty that this run is important in keeping things "local". I'm not sure why the town would deny it??
on Feb 15, 2013 at 9:21 am
Dear Town Council:
I hope you will approve proceeding with this event. I have run the race for each of the last 20 years up until last year's lamentable cancellation. I was happy to write a check to Children's Hospital for $35.00 to run a course I run for free 4 times a week and I'd be happy to write a check again for a deserving organization. What always impresses me about this event is the FAMILIES I see running together, many for the first time. Lots of boys and girls get to experience the excitement of running in a race for the first time and having our wonderful downtown as the nucleus makes it even more special. Given our national and state initiatives on fitness on endeavoring to reduce the obesity epidemic this is right in line with those objectives. How about having a member of Mike Shimansky's family fire off the opening gun in his honor?
on Feb 15, 2013 at 10:10 am
It's the STREET CLOSURES and interference with everyone else's TRANSPORTATION ability and timing that is the only PROBLEM that I see.
NOT BLOCKING our primary road routes needs to be the PRIMARY CONSIDERATION AND PRIORITY!
If that neighborhood concern can be focused on by our Council members (because the runners don't really care), then it sounds like a nice idea.
on Feb 15, 2013 at 8:28 pm
No worries from me...we like having the runners circle back south from Wayne and we enjoy cheering them on...maybe this year the race can be dedicated to supporting the Save Open Space citizen's movement opposing all the developement the Danville Town Council has on their upcoming agenda. Let's run to save Danville for our kids!!
Keep Danville Danville...we have the power..
on Feb 17, 2013 at 7:53 pm
We DO indeed have the Power. Sign the petitions at every available opportunity folks.

This is a unique tradition for SRV, promoting health and a grand sense of community,and importantly fund raising, historically for
Childrens Hospital. After participating in the Devil Mt.Run for 23 years, first as a runnner and in recent years as a walker I am lamenting the loss of this special community gatherng. Thank you Marty Breen of Forward Motion Sports for taking the lead on proposing the Danville Devil Mt. Run. I suggest supporting our local businesses as well, they are stepping up to the plate for preservation of our
on Feb 20, 2013 at 7:57 am
If the town council misses this one I will be astounded to say the least. If it is a Danvile event, keep it in Danville and secure a route that runs thru some of the more scenic and fun parts of our great town. Bishop Ranch does not fit that bill. For those who lament the the few hours of disturbance I really feel you should re-think that position. I am frequent participant and the event is part of the fabric of what makes this town so wonderful. A no brainer !!
on Feb 20, 2013 at 12:03 pm
This is great news !!
The Devil Mt Run has been a tradition in our family for years :>)

Capturing Star Quality
Douglas Kirkland
Photographer Q & A
It's an understatement to say you have an illustrious career. You've photographed the most famous, fascinating and iconic celebrities in the world. How do you find those opportunities?
Your pictures are only as good as you make your subject feel. The photographer doesn't do it alone. And if you don't have your subject on your side, it doesn't happen. I was fortunate to meet Elizabeth Taylor in 1961. As I often say, I was the lucky young man—a beginning photographer—whom she gave permission to photograph her. That helped launch my career.
Tell us about your assignment as Special Photographer on the set of Baz Luhrmann's epic film Australia.
I first met Baz when I shot stills for Moulin Rouge. Years later, he asked me to collaborate on Australia. In the role of Special Photographer, I tried to capture the essence of the film and provided images for publicity and advertising. The great thing about Baz is that when you arrive, he stops everything and gets on the loud speaker to introduce you and welcome you to the set. If you're working with people you haven't worked with before, they aren't going to be comfortable with you. Once you're introduced and they understand what it is that you do, it changes everything.
What was it like working and shooting in the outback of Australia?
We filmed in an area called Kunummura, in the northern outback near Darwin Kunumurra in the northern outback near Darwin. It was in a location, so remote, even most Australians have never visited. The tropical desert was dry and dusty during the time I was there, with temperatures soaring to 38˚ C (100˚ F) during the day. The sun was the most challenging. The intensity and heat could make you physically ill.
It sounds like developing relationships with your photographic subjects is key to your success. True?
Yes, I actively cultivate a relationship—whether I work on a film or take portraits. When I photographs subjects, I try to make them feel both comfortable and like a star—even if they aren't celebrities. I really fall in love during that time, at least for a while. The ah-ha moment is when you really know you've captured the shot. It brings a sense of euphoria when you get that feeling.

Researchers have identified a gene in African Americans that can increase the risk of irregular heartbeat. The gene, called Y-1102, is found in some people of African descent. Researchers say the gene alone isn't responsible for an Arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat, but it can contribute to it in patients lacking electrolytes like potassium, calcium, sodium and magnesium. A study shows people who carry the gene are eight times more likely than others to experience an Arrhythmia. The study is published in the journal "Science" and it emphasizes the need for blacks in particular to get regular annual checkups.
Scientists have pinpointed a group of natural carbohydrates called "Gags" found in cartilage and joint fluid. Their research shows that rheumatoid arthritis may be triggered when the body starts attacking these "Gags". That response causes painful inflammation and swelling. Researchers say more studies are needed to confirm the findings, but say it suggests that the disease is the result of an unusual immune response. They are now looking into drugs that may help turn off the body's attack. The research was conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital and is being presented at the American Chemical Society's annual meeting.
Your doctor's stethoscope may help diagnose aliments, but it could also be a source of potentially dangerous bacteria. A recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine found 200 stethoscopes from four different hospitals tested positive for potentially serious infections in hospital patients. Now, a new disposable device could help. Safeseal is a soft diaphragm that fits snuggly over the stethoscope. It's saturated with a compound that kills infectious bacteria for up to two weeks.By the way, the cost of treating hospital-acquired infections reaches almost $5-billion a year.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — Taken at face value, the Blue Ribbon Committee's approval of a plan to preserve the Wigwam makes perfect sense. But how much is the face value worth?
The Wigwam was opened in 1961 and closed on March 8, 50 years later. It is the second largest high school gymnasium in the world and has been the subject of many stories published nationwide.
Thomas J. Snyder, the committee chairman, said that the plan, put forth by Wigwam Sports and Entertainment's founders Terry Thimlar and Mark Rowe, has potential. That plan calls for a wide variety of sporting events, primarily an NBA Developmental League team and high school basketball games. But it also calls for use of the gym for concerts that might be too large for a place like the Paramount.
Unfortunately, the support of this plan might not be a big step forward. The plan might have been the only viable option currently on the table, plus the source of the funds needed to make the plan a reality are still to be determined.
Anderson Community Schools has said that between $6 million and $9 million would be needed to make repairs to the venerable structure and get it in operating shape. Even if those figures are inflated, the money source is still to be determined. It is widely thought that some private investment would be needed as well as some corporate involvement with possible naming rights and perhaps even some funding from the city.
ACS has said that a plan must be presented by March 1 or the plans for the gym's demolition will go forward. ACS has also said that help is needed beyond March 1 for upkeep expenses while any plan is being put into motion.
Since that means the deadline is less than two months away, any progress is to be applauded. But turning this proposal's approval into a solution for keeping the Wigwam away from the wrecking ball is still quite a long way off.
Summary The plan to re-open the Wigwam sounds feasible, but many questions remain.

KHQ.COM - The Polish government expressed dismay on Wednesday after President Barack Obama referred to a World War II concentration camp as a "Polish death camp."
Prime Minister Donald Tusk said it was a comment that Poland could not ignore. "We cannot accept such words even if they are spoken by the leader of a friendly power - or perhaps especially in such situations - since we expect diligence, care, and respect from our friends on issues of such importance as World War II remembrance."
Obama made the comment Tuesday while awarding the Medal of Freedom to Jan Karski, a resistance fighter against the Nazi occupation of Poland during World War II. Karski died in 2000. click here to read more

Is GAA a better then soccer?
YES!!It is.Soccer is a sport for people who are too afraid to get into a fight.you've all watched the premiership I'm sure?Look at how quickly they back off from each other.And when they do start fighting they just swing their arms wildly.
Join this club if you play gaa for a club or if you just think soccer is a game for wusses!!
The more support the further we can go to promote gaa.
Before you go can I just give you a quick fact about the F.A.I:
The GAA was kind enough to open up Croke Park for soccer and rugby.The rugby will be a great success but how does the F.A.I repay the gaa?
They ask if they can rename Hill 16 the 'northern terrace'!!
Hill 16 represents Irelands freedom from British Rule.

CrokerCroke Park (Irish: Páirc an Chrócaigh) in Dublin, Ireland, is the largest sports stadium in Ireland and the principal stadium and headquarters of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), Ireland's biggest sporting organisation. Since 1884 the site has been used primarily by the GAA to host Gaelic Games, most notably the annual finals of the All-Ireland Gaelic football championship and hurling championship. Music concerts by major international acts have also been held in "Croker," as it is often called. During the refurbishment of Lansdowne Road the stadium is also hosting the Irish national rugby union and soccer teams. Following a redevelopment program started in the 1990s, Croke Park has a capacity of 82,500, making it the third largest stadium in the EU, the largest stadium in the 2007 Six Nations Championship and the largest owned by an amateur organisation.

1) The GAA player who played in front of 80,000 at the weekend will be teaching your children, selling you meat or fixing your drains on Monday morning. The soccer player who plays in front of 80,000 will be moaning about playing too many games and will be trying to sell you his personalised brand of leisure wear
2) GAA nicknames are better (The Bull, The Bomber, etc.) . Soccer players just add a Y to their surnames
3) Dublin vs Meath is a real derby. What does Utd. Vs City mean to Ronaldo or Sibierski
4) How many soccer players does it take to screw in a light bulb? Answer eleven. One to stick it in and ten to surround and kiss him after he does it
5) Soccer players go to the papers after a game. GAA players go to the pub
6) John Terry would run a mile if he came up against Francie Bellew
7) GAA teams are numbered 1-15. A soccer team reads like the lottery results
All soccer players wear shin pads. Some hurlers wear helmets
9) Television runs soccer. Schoolteachers run the GAA
10) The GAA is about where you're from. Soccer is about who you like
11) No segregation at GAA games
12) No soccer team has a nickname quite as lovely as the Fighting Cocks of Carlow
13) Bubble perms never made it to Croke Park
14) A scoreless draw in the GAA would be quite a novelty
15) The GAA may not appreciate its women as much as it should but at least we all know who Cora Stanunton is. The most famous woman in English soccer is Posh Spice
16) Under age players get to be part of the biggest days in hurling and football at half-time in the All-Ireland.
17) Micheal O'Murchearaigh.
1 If a GAA player ever jumped at a spectator like Eric Cantona did the rest of his team would join in. So would the rest of the crowd.
19)Vinnie Jones grabbed Gascoignes testicles. Paudie O'Se decked Joe McNally during the National Anthem. McNally learnt his lesson. Gascoigne just got worse.
20) The GAA season always leaves you wanting more. The soccer season leaves soccer people demanding less. "Fewer games please"
21) Old soccer players get testimonials, Old GAA players just slip down to junior.
22) Rural villages = A Church, A Post-office, a Pub and a GAA pitch.
23) Pints after the match with the lad you knocked seven lumps of shite out of in the game.
24)Croke park on a Summer's Day.
25)Roman Abramovich can buy the League. You can't buy Sam

A bill that would ban smoking on almost all county-controlled land in Montgomery County, Md. was formally introduced Tuesday.
If passed, people could generally smoke only in their own homes, their own cars, and on streets and sidewalks. They could not smoke in public plazas, nor in county parking lots.
Montgomery County Councilmember Nancy Floreen (D-At-large) is the chief sponsor of the legislation. For Floreen, the issue of discouraging smoking is both political and personal.
"I've got a cousin who is right now undergoing very expensive medical treatment for stage four throat cancer - a pack-a-day smoker for 50 years," Floreen told us in an interview.
The legislation would flatly prohibit smoking on any property that is owned or leased by Montgomery County, with the exception of the "right-of-way," meaning smoking would still be legal on county streets and on county sidewalks.
Floreen confirmed that under the law, smokers could not gather under the entrance ways of county buildings, even if it's raining or snowing outside. They would have to walk away from the building to the nearest sidewalk before lighting up. Smoking would also be banned on any outdoor parking lots owned or leased by the county government.
First-time violators could face a fine of up to $50.
Most parkland in Montgomery County would not be covered by the sweeping ordinance because a separate bi-county agency sets the rules for parks.
The proposed prohibition on smoking on county-controlled land is annoying to smoker Donald Shaw.
"Smoking is, granted, unhealthy for your health, but it's a free right," said Shaw, who lives in Rockville. "We have the right to smoke if we choose to (if we're over the age of 18). And to ban it from just a parking lot is ridiculous."
A public hearing on the proposal to ban smoking on any county land (except streets and sidewalks) has been scheduled for January 15. Opponents may have an uphill fight. Seven of the nine council members in Montgomery County have signaled their support for the ban.

ARCADIA – Beverly Hills has been typically known for itswealth and strong education system. It is no surprise, then, that parents wholive outside BHUSD and expected that their children attend the aforementionedcity's district are upset that their own will no longer be granted thatprivilege.
"As a parent, what you want for your youngster is to startthem in school and have them finish there," San Gabriel Superintendent SusanParks said. "It's ideal to start them and finish them at school with a strongpeer group, friendships and teachers."
Tuesday night, the Los Angeles County Office of Educationrejected appeals made by parents who were pining to have their children attendBHUSD. As part of a BHUSD compromise, students currently enrolled at the highschool on permit will be allowed to have their permits renewed, including lastyear's freshmen.
So far, LACOE has rejected 25 appeals and granted seven.BHUSD moved into a Basic Aid category earlier this year, meaning that localproperty tax revenues in the area exceed the sum of funding that the statewould have provided.
School districts can move into the Basic Aid formula as aresult of the state's fiscal crisis.
To the extent that BHUSD is, in effect, pushing studentsaway, West San Gabriel Valley cities simply cannot afford to do so. InAlhambra, San Gabriel and Arcadia, revenue limits are tied substantially to theaverage daily attendance (ADA), the average number of students who attendedschool over the course of a year.
ADA figures help determine the total amount of staterevenue.
In the Alhambra Unified School District, the revenue limitfor the upcoming year is $98 million, $80 million of which is state aid and $18million of which is from property tax. Denise Jaramillo, the assistantsuperintendent of financial services for Alhambra Unified, said there would be"no benefit to funding based on purely property tax."
Arcadia Unified will receive about $5,000 per student fromthe state for the school year 2010-11, or about $49 million.
Ken Shelton, the assistant superintendent of businessservices for the Los Angeles County Office of Education, said that the statedoes not fund public education when the property tax yield, made up ofcommercial and residential sources, is greater than what the a particulardistrict is entitled to, with some exceptions.
"It's not a district choice," he said. "It's a combinationof factors that move districts into Basic Aid status." What can happen is thatwhen property tax revenues are high, districts receive les state aid.
SGUSD's Parks said that her district would not be able tosurvive with Basic Aid because many homeowners, who have lived in San Gabrielfor a long time, pay very little in property taxes. The effect of Serrano v. Priestand Proposition 13, which limits property tax revenue, is said to have led tothe decline in quality education in California.
The Arcadia Unified School District also depends on thestate for much of its funding, because it simply could not survive on propertytaxes alone. The bad part about this is that when the State struggles, so doesAUSD. In Arcadia, the numbers still point to per-pupil funding as a reliableincome source.
In Arcadia, one of the few times the city rejects studentsis if the students has moved to another city and has not completed their junioryear in school.
Arcadia School Board member Joann Steinmeier said that herdistrict believes that students should be a part of the district they belongin. One case where students don't belong as part of her district is badbehavior, that being the main exclusionary rule.
Arcadia USD transfers roughly the same amount of studentsout of district as they take in.

What amount is the "right" amount to borrow for college? This is a difficult question students need to face before making an enrollment decision. While many students are eager to sign whatever it takes to go to their dream school, they often don't understand how much it will cost them after they graduate. Others decide if they need to borrow for college, they just won't go. What is the right choice?
The reality is borrowing for college isn't always bad - as long as it is done responsibly. College graduates earn much more than high school graduates (view average annual earnings by education level) so college is a good investment. But students should be careful not to borrow outside their means.
You don't need to borrow the full amount listed on your financial aid award letter. It is tempting to borrow a little extra for something you want and don't necessarily need. When you borrow money, you pay it back with interest, increasing your total costs. A good rule of thumb is to only borrow what you absolutely need and no more. Determine how you will meet your college costs by using our calculator.
When you borrow, you pay back your loan with interest. It is easy to underestimate how much interest you will pay over the course of your repayment period. Use our loan repayment calculator or view our loan repayment chart to gain a better understanding of how much you will pay in interest on your loans and how it will affect your monthly payment amount.
Before you borrow, do your research on entry level salaries in your field of choice (The Bureau of Labor Statistics website is a great place to start). If you expect to make $25,000 a year and you have $50,000 in student debt, you may have trouble meeting your monthly payments. Take a look at example monthly payments here. Remember to account for all four years of your education when estimating your total borrowing needs. Too many students have a "borrow now, deal later" attitude that ends up getting them into trouble early after college.
When deciding between two schools, you may find you want to go to one more, but it will mean you have to borrow a lot more. Think about how that will affect your ability to reach your future goals. Maybe you want to purchase a car or a house after graduation. Will you be able to afford to do so with a higher student loan payment?
Rates and terms can vary widely. As a rule, you should always explore your federal student loan options before seeking a private education loan, consumer loan, or using your credit card. Typically, you want to consider your education loan options in this order:

Ted Baker Urges Its Fans to "Write a Line" in a Creative Way
To promote the SS 2013 collection and its "Finishing School" motif, London fashion brand Ted Baker has launched a new global activation, urging the audience to give a creative finishing to the inspirational lines the brand is posting on Facebook starting this week.
Photo: Ted Baker Lines tote bag, day 1, www.facebook.com/TedBaker (click to enlarge)
Photographs of the unconventionally written lines should be submitted to Instagram and Twitter with the hashtag #TedBakerLines or via a Facebook app. Each day, Ted Baker accepts up to 500 entries—once the limit is reached, the contest is over for the day, and the participants who have submitted correct entries in time receive their gift, a limited-edition Ted Baker tote bag with the winning line. The participant who shared the most creative way to write the line gets the top prize— a Ted Baker limited-edition leather satchel, personalized with his or her initials.
The Monday's line was "I am the exception, never the rule," the Tuesday's one was "I will always put the fine into refined," and today the line is "I never seek attention, I let it seek me." The brand accepts both photos and 6-second Vine videos as submissions (up to 5 MB). Those who can't offer their own creative finishing can just retype the line using a Facebook app. The entries to the Ted Baker Lines competition can be viewed in the gallery. To find out if you are the winner of the day, go the promotional page on the brand's official website.

Happy Friday!
This week seemed to go by fast, and I'm glad the weekend is here!
Things I'm Loving Friday
- My heart rate monitor.
I have the Polar FT7 and I love it. I love that it tells me my heart rate, calories burned, and the time I've spent in the fat burning and fitness zones. Yesterday, I walked, ran, and took a Trifecta fitness class and burned 737 calories!
- Green Mountain Nantucket Blend coffee.
I have been having such a hard time finding the Vue cups for my Keurig coffee maker lately. All my local Targets stopped carrying the Vue cups. I went to another local grocery store, Meijer, and they had a whole bunch stocked. The only problem is that they haven't restocked them.
This box of Nantucket coffee was the only regular box that they had left. All the rest were decaf or the travel mug size. I've never had the Nantucket blend and I was glad I tried it because it was awesome.
I finally ordered some Vue cups off the Keurig website. I had a coupon code and it ended up being cheaper per box than I would have paid at the store. And there's a way bigger selection online.
- Core Power
I brought a bottle of Core Power Lite for a post-workout snack after BodyPump this morning. I'm normally not a banana fan, but the strawberry banana flavor wasn't strong on the bananas so I liked it. I would definitely buy it again. One bottle has 150 calories and 20 grams of protein.
I kept it in my car while I worked out since it was so cold out and drank it when I left the gym. It's important to consume protein within 45-60 minutes after strength training to repair muscles and with 20 grams of protein, the Core Power protein drink is perfect and easy for an on-the-go snack.
Don't forget – there's still time to enter my Core Power Giveaway!
- Spring Races
I already have a few races lined up for the spring and I am so excited! The first one is the Shamrock Shuffle on March 30th, one of the biggest 8ks in the U.S.
My stepmom has ran it for the past few years and always says how fun it is, so Danny and I are going to run it this year.
We also have a 5k lined up for the beginning of April, and we found a local 5k on Jacob's birthday in May that he's really excited about running. Then, we have the Mother's Day 5k which I have ran for the past few years.
I can wait until winter is over and spring is here!
- Dexter
Danny and I have been spending way too much time on the couch lately watching Dexter. We're already in the middle of season three and it's so addicting. Once we finish one episode, it's hard not to watch another when we have the DVD sitting right in front of us!
Have a great weekend!
- What are you loving lately?

In a contest that held suspense up until the last minute, Fox Searchlight's "12 Years a Slave" took the best-picture prize Sunday at the 86th Academy Awards and established a few Oscar records in the process. Winning three of its nine nominations, the film is the first best-picture win for a black producer (Steve McQueen, who also directed). That in itself is significant, but it's got bigger implications: In 85 previous years, blacks have only won in a handful of categories, including acting (14 wins), screenplay (1 win), sound (four wins) and music (7 wins).
After the 2012 "Argo," this is the second consecutive win for a film produced by top stars: Last year, it was George Clooney and Ben Affleck, among others; in this case, Brad Pitt, the second in this category after "Moneyball." (He also has three acting noms.) It's the second nom for Dede Gardner, the first for Jeremy Kleiner and Anthony Katagas, and the first for McQueen. It's the second win in seven years for Searchlight, after the 2008 "Slumdog Millionaire."
Warner Bros.' "Gravity" nabbed seven wins, compared to the three for "12 Years." (By comparison, "Crash" and "Argo" also won three apiece.) Also winning three trophies was "Dallas Buyer's Club."
Cate Blanchett ("Blue Jasmine") and Matthew McConaughey ("Dallas Buyers Club") took home the best acting categories.
It was Blanchett's second win in four nominations. and she joins 21 actors who have won in in both categories. Her win was expected, since she'd won nearly every other award, including SAG, Golden Globe and critics noms. But the Feb. 1 Woody Allen-Dylan Farrow flap cast a shadow over "Blue Jasmine," and some wondered if the controversy would reduce her vote count.
Following a trail of acting prizes this season, McConaughey had an amazing year with other projects, notably HBO's "True Detective," and people loved the story of his 40-pound weight loss, as well as the fact that he helped the project get made after 20 years in limbo. Previously, 65 actors have won for playing real people, and he joins them with his work as homophobe-turned-AIDS-activist Ron Woodroof.
Among films going home empty-handed were "American Hustle," "Nebraska," "Captain Phillips" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
"12 Years a Slave" also won for supporting actress Lupita Nyong'o and adapted screenplay for John Ridley.
Oscars 2014: Full List of Winners
The "Gravity" wins went to Alfonso Cuaron for best director and also for editing alongside Mark Sanger. The Warner Bros. film also won cinematography for d.p. Emmanuel Lubezki, while Steven Price won for best score. Skip Lievsay, Niv Adiri, Christopher Benstead and Chris Munro won the sound mixing award for "Gravity, " while the film also won the sound editing category for Glenn Freemantle. The visual effects award went to the "Gravity" team of Tim Webber, Chris Lawrence, David Shirk and Neil Corbould.
On his first nomination, John Ridley won the adapted-screenplay prize for "12 Years a Slave," from Solomon Northup's memoir. Ridley became only the second black person to win an Oscar in the writing category, after Geoffrey Fletcher for "Precious."
Spike Jonze nabbed the original-screenplay trophy for Warner Bros.' "Her," which he also directed. Jonze was considered a front-runner, since he'd won the Writers Guild award, as well as a Golden Globe for the script. Jonze was a triple nominee this year, also up as a producer and songwriter for the film.
Best animated film went to Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee and Peter Del Vecho for Disney's "Frozen," while Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez won best song for the film's "Let it Go." Buck dedicated the award to his son who died in an accident before the movie came out, calling him a "guardian angel." "Frozen" marks the first win for Disney Animation in the 13-year-old feature-animation category.
The In Memoriam segment is always popular with audiences, but this year's segment, which concluded with Philip Seymour Hoffman, was controversial as well. There was a massive movement to get the Academy to include Sarah Jones, who was killed in February during a train accident while filming "Midnight Runner." A mention of Jones was included at the end of the memorial segment, directing viewers to the Academy's website.
SEE ALSO: Oscars Honor 'Midnight Rider' Crew Member
The segment itself featured an intro by Glenn Close and was followed by Bette Midler singing "The Wind Beneath My Wings."
The Oscar kudocast kicked off with a supporting actor win for Jared Leto for his performance as transgender AIDS patient Rayon in "Dallas Buyers Club." The film saw another win for hair and makeup before McConaughey's actor win. Leto had won nearly every award in the build-up to Oscars, including SAG, Golden Globe, Critics Choice and numerous critics groups. The film marked a mini-comeback for Leto, who had given up acting for seven years to concentrate on his work with his band 30 Seconds From Mars.
With her performance as Patsey in "12 Years a Slave," Lupita Nyong'o landed the supporting actress prize, joining 15 individuals who previously won Oscars for their film debuts. The Kenyan-Mexican actress, who's a Yale grad, joins 14 other black actors who've won Oscars, with the numbers increasing regularly -- an encouraging sign for Academy execs who have been working hard to make sure the organization, the industry and the Oscars better reflect the world's diversity.
Foreign film winner "The Great Beauty" (directed by Paolo Sorrentino) marks the 11th win and 28th nomination for Italy.

Mallary Jean Tenore, in Poynter's "How To's" section, analysed why journalists get names wrong and how they should try to solve this.
Quoting Craig Silverman, author of "Regret the Error", she pointed out that academic research shows that misspelled names are the sixth most common newspaper error. The error is so common, Silverman said, because journalists forget to ask for the right spelling; rather they do it from memory, they assume the name is spelled the "normal way," or they're misled by incorrect sources online.
Tenore underlined that misspelling names is something happens frequently, starting with big newspapers. In some cases newspapers have even misspelled their own names, as happened in 2008 at the New Hampshire's Valley News.
Research has shown that inaccuracies cause the public to lose trust in the media.
Clark Hoyt, public editor of the New York Times from May 2007 to June 2010, wrote an article admitting the paper misspelled names at a "ferocious rate". "A great newspaper has to get the big things right, but it also has to pay fanatical attention to thousands of details every day to prevent the kinds of mistakes that start readers wondering, "If they can't spell his name right, what else is wrong with the story?", he wondered.
Silverman feels the same, and gave Poynter the example of a newspaper that misspelled Abraham Lincoln's name. "You can imagine how maybe it was a slip of the finger, and you can see how it would happen," Silverman said, "but when you're a reader and you see your newspaper has misspelled 'Abraham Lincoln,' there's something about that that's going to strike home with you and make you think, 'Is this really a paper I should be reading?'"
Tenore reported Silverman said that the best way to ameliorate the problem is to start every interview by asking for the correct spelling of the source's name and to do it on a regular basis trying to make it a learned behaviour. "After I've written the story, I double check to make sure the spelling of the name in my story matches the spelling in my notes. And I check the name every time it appears in the story", she wrote.
After all, accuracy is the first way in which journalists can say to their readers that they care about what they are doing.

Michael Acton Smith is a born entrepreneur – but though he's successful now, he freely admits that the road to his success was sometimes pretty rocky! After raising his first capital in a "don't try this at home kids!" way straight out of university, Acton Smith started up online gadget shop Firebox.
Six months later, he was ready to throw in the towel. "We just couldn't make it work. Banks wouldn't lend us any cash or anything." He says. But a flagship product – the shotglass chess set – saved them. Near bankruptcy followed, as did a huge cash injection of over £6 million – nearly all of which has been spent by the time he created Moshi Monsters. Now a hugely successful businessman, listen to Michael Acton Smith's inspirational tale of sticking it out when the going got tough.

Bessy's Rescue Story
When I adopted Bessy in 1993, she was a homeless, unwanted, beautiful 1 1/2-year-old calico cat in a shelter. I can still picture her looking through her cage door with a "smile" on her face, starring at me. Right then and there "that was the cat for me."
I later found out she had been adopted twice before but returned to the shelter. Let's say, she had some personality quirks that needed adjusting. Bessy needed bonding time and patience and I was happy to give her that, And Bessy NEVER went back to the shelter.
Bessy was my cat for 19 wonderful years. Throughout those years she became a diabetic, developed a thyroid problem, then got severe kidney failure and passed on in June of 2011.
In honor of my wonderful, loving pet, Bessy, I have created a sanctuary where all unwanted, homeless cats are wanted, loved and provided a warm, nurturing home. Bessy's Place is dedicated to those cats that are not as fortunate as my Bessy.
In Loving Memory & Honor of Bessy the Best!

The name of this watercourse was first recorded in 1890, and is most likely named after the family of William Roper Piesse, a prominent citizen with a large family who lived in Guildford for a time. Boundaries for this suburb were approved in 1972.

Austinites who pay for on-street parking with a credit or debit cards will be required to purchase a minimum of one hour.
The changes are a result of increased city transaction fees.
Starting Nov. 1, drivers who purchase time using credit or debit cards can also use the one-hour minimum at any parking meter in Austin. This means drivers can run errands using the same receipt.
Those using coins will not be affected by this requirement.
The city will post notices on all paystations alerting drivers of the changes.

Tulsa Public Schools votes to introduce sex education program to curb STDs, teen pregnancy
TULSA - In a near-unanimous vote, Tulsa Public Schools voted Tuesday night to allow a new teen pregnancy prevention program at several of the district's high schools.
Board members voted 6-1 for the program, "Making Proud Choices: A Safer Sex Approach to HIV/STDs and Teen Pregnancy Prevention," which would be the first of such kind at Clinton High School, Webster High School, Memorial High School and Memorial Junior High.
The program will be conducted as an eight-hour course beginning in October that is expected to be taught during physical education class time. District administrators, who maintain that the material is age-appropriate, say more schools may also adopt the program in December.
MORE ON THE CURRICULUM (http://bit.ly/18BBrdU)
The course had previously only been taught in summer school on an opt-in basis, according to TPS spokesman Chris Payne.
And while officials acknowledge it's a taboo subject for many families, they're hoping that by talking about the subject they can curb the problem.
According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Oklahoma ranked fourth in the nation in 2011 for teen pregnancy for girls ages 15 to 19. Tulsa's rate is four times higher than the Oklahoma average.
