What is Smash About?
"Smash" is a musical drama that celebrates the beauty and heartbreak of the Broadway theater as it follows a cross-section of dreamers and schemers who all have one common desire – to be a "smash." The series centers on the process of creating a Broadway musical based on the life of Marilyn Monroe – written by the successful songwriting duo of Tom and Julia. Julia recently began the process of adopting a child with her husband Frank of many years, but her focus is torn when she has the opportunity to write another Broadway hit. A rivalry soon forms for the lead role between a youthful, inexperienced Midwestern beauty Karen – who is trying to find fame in the big city against all odds – and stage veteran Ivy Bell, who's determined to leave the chorus line and finally get her big break. A tenacious producer Eileen discovers the "Marilyn" project and jumps on board with a brilliant director, Derek – whose talent is matched by his cunning and egocentric amorality.

We have all formed and reformed our opinions on whether or not bringing back Carl Pavano is the right thing to do, for how long and at how much. If what we are told is true the Twins and the man with the million dollar mustache are close to an agreement. So, this may be an exercise in futility, but I'm going to take a minute to run down some starting pitching options that the Twins could consider if they decide to take a pass on Pavano.
Most of these names have been listed by you, me and my brother on this site in comments. Most of these guys are free agents with a history of injuries; some have upside, some are inning eaters, some young , some old. Here goes…
Ben Sheets (32 years of age)
This is the guy I want most. Mr. Sheets is a right handed pitcher with 9 seasons in the bigs. He has a career ERA of 3.79. More recently, he pitched 4.53 last year for OA's in 20 starts before going down in July with a torn flexor. He didn't pitch in 2009 due to surgery. He only pitched 104 innings in 2006 due to injury, are you starting to see the pattern? But, when he is pitching he is worthwhile, his average WAR (Baseball Reference) over 9 seasons is 2.7. He has considerable upside to offset his injuring history. Last season he was given 10million/1yr. This year he would be lucky to get a deal similar to Brandon Web 3 million with up to 8 in incentives. The Twins could offer him something less but similar. With Gibson waiting in the wings, if Sheets only pitches well for the first half the season the combination still has a good chance of putting up numbers similar to Pavano. And, Sheets is 3 years younger with a higher ceiling than Pavano. I would take him before Pavano.
Chris Young (32)
In 2010 he only pitched four games (but they were to the tune of a 0.90 ERA). He is my second choice behind Sheets and with a similar upside and a similar injury history. He has a 3.80 ERA in 7seasons. Like Sheets, Young is 3 years younger with a higher ceiling than Pavano. I would take him before Pavano.
Jarrod Washburn (36)
We all know the story. He's good pitcher (feel free to disagree) with roots in Wisconsin. He has had some good years some bad but he has pitched over 140 innings every year (except last) since 2000. He was out of baseball last year because he was unwilling to sign for a discount. He could be a great fit if he is willing to pitch for cheaper than previously indicated (2-4 million +incentives). Washburn and Pavano are a wash. But, if Washburn would do a 1year contract for the above price, then sign him up.
All of the following, I would ONLY sign if Pavano wasn't coming back and we couldn't get one of the above.
Jeff Francis (29)
He's a lefty. He has a career ERA of 4.77 in six seasons. But all of those were in hitter friendly Mile High stadium. And, he is known for his control, and placement and his pitch to contact style, which we could assume would be a good fit with Rich Anderson and Target field. He sat out all of 2009, undergoing surgery for his left shoulder. Offer; 2million +incentives.
Dave Bush(31)
A righty, who has pitched 7 seasons, 4.66 ERA with TOR and MIL. Bush pitched over 100 innings each year, except the first in which he pitch 97. The upside and downsides are equally low, but he would make good competition for the 5th spot at a low price He has similar numbers to Blackburn. Offer; 1mill + incentives.
Freddy Garcia (35)
A righty with 12seasons experience and a 4.13ERA. He has pitched less than 100 innings 3 times (07, 08 and 09). Offer; 2 million + incentives.
John Maine (30)
A righthander, who has pitched for Bal and NYM over 7seasons. He has a career 4.35 ERA. But, has only pitched over 100 innings twice (07 and 08). Offer; I'd him a minor league contract (500 thousand) and a chance to compete for 5th.
Kevin Millwood (36)
Righty. A pure innings eater, Millwood will pitch 190+ innings for someone next year. Probably with a 5.00+ ERA. I would pass. But, won't blame them for looking, since our young guys were averaging 5.something innings pitched a game and our bullpen is a question mark. Offer; No.
Jeremy Bonderman (28)
Righty. An innings eater with a injury history (08 and 09). Pass. One thing to consider; he is on the right side of 30. But, that would matter more if there was evidence of a real upside. Offer; No.
Nate Robertson (33) one good year 2006. Offer; No.
Ian Snell (29) one good year 2007. Offer; No.
I'll admit the upside on the last two pitchers is low age combined with fact that they may be willing to sign for near the league minimum. I would pass on these guys (in a heartbeat) but added them for your consideration. I know, there is a lot of opinion and little analysis here. But, it's something to read.

This doesn't mean it's as good as it could be, however.
There were a few egregious omissions from the keynote presentation – features that we not only want in our iPhone, but that we feel are overdue.

There were a few egregious omissions from the keynote presentation – features that we not only want in our iPhone, but that we feel are overdue.
Instead of building NFC into the iPhone, Apple would rather have you use its Passbook system, which lets lets users store tickets, gift cards, boarding passes, and the like.
It can handle some (but definitely not all) of the tasks that you might use NFC for. For example, you can't use Passbook to wirelessly send money to a friend via PayPal.
NFC also lets you beam content between devices just by tapping them together. Samsung's Galaxy S III takes advantage of this feature.
Swype is something of a mainstay on Android phones. Instead of tapping out your texts letter by letter, you can drag your finger over them without lifting it. The end result is that you get your message out much more quickly.
We'd like to be able to extend our device's storage capability beyond the 64 GB maximum. History suggests that external SD card support isn't going to be in a mobile Apple device any time soon.
The iPod Classic offered users 160 GB of music and video capacity. Many people (ourselves included) had no problem filling it right up.
Now that the iPhone is an easy replacement for your old iPod, we'd love to be able to carry the same amount of content around with us without having to pick and choose what stays at home.
We've never understood why our iPhones can't use a standard USB port and a standard USB cable to sync. Now the iPhone 5 introduces a new micro-dock connection requiring the use of its own special cable.
If you want to use your old sync cables, you have to buy this $29 adapter.
Once again, if you want to get video off of your phone, it requires the use of a special adapter. (Unless you buy a $99 Apple TV.) The Kindle Fire HD and several Android phones use a micro-HDMI port, letting you run a cable straight from your tablet to the television.
This makes it easier, better, and more affordable for the user.
The battery life on the iPhone 5 has seen some nice improvements, but for the power users who are glued to their phones all day, it won't suffice.
We'd love to be able to carry an additional fully-charged iPhone battery that we could pop in whenever the first one bites the dust.
Ellis Hamburger, Business Insider
The iPhone 5's battery life is about the same as the iPhone 4S'. Yes, it has a bigger battery, but the new 4G LTE radio and bigger screen use up a lot of that extra power. We wish Apple had included a better battery in the iPhone 5 like the one on Motorola's Droid Razr Maxx. The Razr Maxx can last several hours longer than the iPhone 5.

Has anyone ever dealt with climbing related SC (sternoclavicular) joint problems? I would love any injury management beta for an injury that seems only to respond favourably to continuous anti-inflammatory meds.
I popped my L SC loose years ago. Unfortunately the main thing holding the SC joint in place are ligaments. I don't know exactly what kind of "injury" you've got. Like I said, I tried to dislocate the joint so mine was pretty much a bad sprain to the ligament. If that's the case the main thing to do is not over stress the soft tissue w/ your activity. It's going to take probably close to 6-8weeks to heal up to the point that the fascial tissue/ligament has regained most of it's structural integrity. If you've been banging it around for awhile now and it's really bugging you. It would be worth to see a medical professional and make sure that you're not messing up the joint space itself and that the joint isn't completely unstable to the point that it's not going to heal w/ out intervention. Good luck getting back up and running.
Yes, I think it is just a sprain, happened about 7 weeks ago from landing on my shoulder. I had an X-ray to confirm that it was not broken or dislocated ( from the swelling it felt and looked bad). I'm used to managing injuries, but the swelling in this case appears to be a problem that is keeping it from healing. I've been on aleve for over 2 weeks now. II guess I'll just take it easy for afew weeks before going back to see a doctor, unless someone has some good rehab tips.Thanks.

Actress in anti-Muslim film sues filmmaker
An actress who appears in the anti-Muslim film that sparked deadly riots across the Middle East is suing the filmmaker for fraud and slander, and attempting to sue Google to try and get the film removed from the internet.
Cindy Lee Garcia claims she was duped by Basseley Nakoula, the self-declared filmmaker behind the 'Innocence of Muslims' as she was not aware of the film's anti-Muslim content. Her lawyer said the film has caused her "shame, mortification and hurt feelings."
– Cris Armenta, attorney for actress Cindy Lee Garcia
The film is vile and reprehensible. This lawsuit is not an attack on the First Amendment nor on the right of Americans to say what they think, but does request that the offending content be removed from the Internet

U.S. Supreme Court
Does Fourth Amendment protect computer data? Scalia says it's a really good question
Posted Mar 24, 2014 8:06 AM CDT
By Debra Cassens Weiss
Justice Antonin Scalia told students at Brooklyn Law School on Friday he didn't want to answer questions about mass surveillance by the National Security Agency.
But the justice went on to say that conversations aren't protected by the Fourth Amendment, and he appeared intrigued by a law student's question about protections for computer data, report the Business Insider and Politicker.
Scalia was taking part in a Q-and-A session with Fox News commentator Andrew Napolitano, a former New Jersey judge, who asked if mass surveillance of cellphones and emails are protected by the Fourth Amendment. "You're getting into the NSA stuff, right?" Scalia asked. He told Napolitano he couldn't answer such questions because the issue may come before the court.
But he went on to say he didn't think "conversations" are protected by the Fourth Amendment, which protects "persons, houses, papers and effects," according to the Politicker account. "A wiretap is not a 'persons, houses, papers and effects.' It may be a very bad idea. Some states have laws against it. There probably should be laws against it. But it doesn't violate the Constitution," Scalia said.
A law student returned to the issue later in the evening, asking Scalia if computer data is one of the "effects" protected by the Fourth Amendment. According to Politicker, Scalia was impressed by the question. "Mmm! Mmm!" Scalia said. (Bloomberg indicates Scalia said "Ooh, Ooh!)
"I better not answer that," he said. "That's something that may well come up. It's a really good question."

1. Not sensing defensive pressure.
He'll get sacked by Charles Johnson because he won't see it coming.
2. An INT
He'll make a dumb throw into coverage because he's inexperienced and not good at reading NFL defenses, one of the major reasons he hasn't started yet. So he'll get picked off.
3. Several touchdown passes, to Mike Thomas, Lewis (if he starts), and Jones-Drew
Panthers defense is allowing a lot of points and not always to experienced offenses (Kevin Kolb w/ his Cardinals). I expect Blaine to have some good red-zone shots that the Panthers won't be expecting or capable of defending.
4. He'll make some awesome throws.
From time to time, we'll be like "WOW! THAT's why we drafted him!"

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
The 24-inch Asus PA246Q monitor provides professional-grade performance at a midrange price. Color performance and screen uniformity rival monitors that cost much more, and the Asus PA246Q offers solid features and connectivity as well.
Excellent performer with a few flaws. Creative professionals such as graphics artists and multimedia producers know the importance of accurate colors; the Asus PA246Q delivers on that score with a wide color range and vibrant, well-saturated colors -- thanks in part to its Professional IPS (P-IPS) panel. Color fidelity is maintained even from extreme side viewing angles, and screen uniformity is exceptional. It has a 1,920-by-1,200-pixel native resolution and 16:10 aspect ratio, and movies typically look great, reviewers say; PCMag.com found minimal ghosting.
CNET says that the PA246Q's color quality is on par with the powerhouse HP DreamColor LP2480zx (*Est. $2,250) , which says a lot about the quality it delivers for its price. There is some debate in terms of grayscale performance, however. PCMag.com says it's very good overall, though they agree with CNET's finding that darker shades are crushed together, resulting in poor shadow detail; HotHardware.com's Paul Lilly, on the other hand, says it "excels on both the light and dark ends of the spectrum." The PA246Q sports a CCFL backlight which, according to CNET, prevents it from delivering "truly deep blacks" and causes minor backlight bleed in the bottom and upper-left corners. AnandTech.com describes the contrast as "leaving a little more to be desired." Text quality is clear, even with the smallest of font sizes.
The Asus PA246Q finds the performance-to-price sweet spot among IPS displays, making it a prime choice for photo and video editors who don't want to spend a thousand dollars on a monitor. For the average user, The Dell UltraSharp U2412M (*Est. $340) might be a better choice, and the value-minded gamer might prefer the Asus VH236H (*Est. $175) for its lightning-fast response times.
A tweaker's delight. The Asus PA246Q offers myriad adjustment options for advanced tweaking. Brightness, contrast, saturation, hue and gamma can be customized, and advanced color settings let you dial in hue and saturation perfectly. A number of presets are available, and many are color-oriented, like the sRGB and Adobe RGB modes. There is a fully customizable User Mode as well.
One of the most unusual touches, says CNET, is Quick Fit -- a function that displays various grid-patterned overlays on the screen. According to some reviewers, the grids don't always match up to the measurement notches on the display's cabinet that runs just outside the screen's perimeter, so the feature's accuracy is questionable; even so, it can still be useful for things like referencing an image's actual size or designing content mockups.
Disappointments are few, but one is the lack of an auto-rotate function. Manually adjusting screen orientation can be annoying when you have to do it every time you want to rotate the screen 90 degrees.
Average design with good connectivity and ergonomics. The Asus PA246Q doesn't turn heads with its basic, dark-gray chassis resting on its uninspired, flat-bottomed stand, yet it still looks decent. It's sort of thick, thanks in part to the CCFL backlight; it doesn't have the thin and sleek cabinet often found in many LED-backlit monitors. It does offer a pretty good range of ergonomic adjustments, including swivel, back-tilt, 90-degree pivot and up to 4 inches of monitor height adjustment.
The onscreen user interface may take a little getting used to, but overall it's fairly intuitive and many functions are contextualized by icons to help reduce guesswork. All the important connectivity inputs are accounted for: on the left side are 2 USB downstream ports and a 7-in-1 multimedia card reader; on the back you'll find DVI, HDMI, VGA, and DisplayPort inputs; a USB upstream port; and a headphone jack.
An IPS display with a not-so premium price. It's hard to think of a $450 monitor as a bargain but -- compared to displays with similar features for high-end photography and graphics applications -- the Asus PA246Q delivers a huge bang for your buck. The high-end P-IPS LCD panel comes pre-calibrated out of the box, offering excellent color performance and wide viewing angles. Images are bright and detailed, and the relatively fast (6ms) response times do a good job of reducing blur. Performance is far from perfect, but it's hard to beat for the money. It offers great connectivity, a host of ergonomic options and plenty of customization choices for dialing in the image to near perfection.
Asus offers a "no missing pixel" policy, allowing returns with even one stuck pixel; the company's response to Newegg.com complaints seems to back up that commitment.
Though it's cheaper than most other professional monitors, the Asus PA246Q is expensive compared to most mainstream monitors. For everyday use, the Dell UltraSharp U2412M (*Est. $340) may be a better option. While it won't do for graphics professionals and the hardest of hardcore gamers, it should meet or exceed the expectations of just about everyone else.

Review Credibility: Excellent HotHardware.com finds that Asus' first foray into the high-end monitor market is strong: The Asus PA246Q display doesn't mess around, reviewer Paul Lilly writes, producing accurate colors and bright and crisp images, and excelling at both the light and dark ends of the spectrum. Hotkeys display on-screen grids that show images' exact size in inches and centimeters, and the monitor rotates from portrait to landscape mode. Lilly considers the monitor an exceptional value and awards it a Hot Hardware Recommended designation.
Review: Asus PA246Q ProArt 24-Inch Monitor Review, Paul Lilly, April 11, 2011
Review Credibility: Excellent The Asus PA246Q has "terrific performance with vibrant colors," writes Eric Franklin; the display is relatively affordable, ergonomic and truly professional-class. Drawbacks include a powerful backlight that keeps black levels on the light side; also, CNET's testing suggests a color fault that gives images a slightly reddish hue. However, it still receives an Editors' Choice nod and a rating of "Excellent."

Review Credibility: Excellent AnandTech.com doesn't recommend the Asus PA246Q, mainly due to its price, but Chris Heinonen says it "could easily be the best choice" for those who need a professional-grade IPS monitor.

Reviews for Shrimp Spread
Sort By :
I've been making this for several years, and it always goes fast. I also add some minced colored peppers for a bit of color and crunch.
This is both very tasty & easy to put together! I followed WJSymons comment and added a couple of glugs of Worcestershire and used a 6-oz. can of crab meat because I had it. I served it with Wheat Thins Great Plains Multigrain chips with great success. Can't wait to try it with shrimp. Hint: If you're covering with foil or plastic wrap to transport, cut coffee stir straws to toothpick length and insert in the dip to hold the covering off of the spread. The straws don't punch holes through the wrap as easily toothpicks do.
This is just the best dip. I put a bit of Worchestershire sauce in with the cream cheese mixture and I use crab meat instead of shrimp. I make this all the time and there's never enough.
If you like shrimp you will love this spread. My family has enjoyed this for many years prepared for the Holidays. I actually have not made it the past couple of years...need to bring this recipe back out.
My family loves this recipe. I like to cook it the night before Thanksgiving because its such an easy and light meal plus my family never leaves leftovers.

Vulnerable man targeted by robbers in Colne
4:29pm Monday 20th January 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for information after a vulnerable man was targeted by robbers in his Colne home on Saturday 18th January 2014.
The robbery took place around 6pm when two men have knocked on the front door of a 66 year old man who lives alone on Oak Street.
When he has answered the door the men have bundled him to the floor and searched the property. They escaped with a bank book but it is not clear at this stage if anything more has been stolen.
Both men are described as white and dressed in dark clothing with hoods up Detective Sergeant Nick Hodgeson from Pennine CID said: "This was a terrifying ordeal for the victim who also sustained minor injuries to his face and hands and we urgently need anyone with any information that could assist us with our investigation to come forward.
"Anyone with information should contact DC 2126 Julie Leigh on 01282 472644 or Lancashire Police on 101."

So theres alot of talk about Josh Mcdaniels coming over and being our offensive quarterback. The same mcdaniels that went 11-17 in two seasons, butted head with everyone he went up against, drove two franchise players away (one of which is playing in the NFC title game this weekend, AAANNNNDDD his organization was caught taping a warmup. Now through all this four pillars thing isnt this the kind of guy you DONT want. we just signed a 50 million dollar contract on a good prospect and why the hell would we risk spoiling that, now as i was boning up on info for this i read an article posted 9 minutes ago that a "snag" in negotiationsa has led the rams to test other waters, i can only surmount that snag was mcdaniles unwavering clause of implementing an entirely new or tweaking the current west coast offense away from a true west coast offense., Now i have all of the confidence in the world for sam the ram, he aint no dummy and im sure whatever they throw at him he wouldnt have any troule with. But at the same time you can just come ina year after the first year in the league, having used a proven system, and start making changes, Also id much prefer it if mcdaniels did drive off our franchise quarterback. Will somebody send him an AFC north champions shirt to hammer home his stupidity?
what cha think folks?

ACLJ & Jay Sekulow Challenge HHS Mandate
There's been a troubling decision involving one of the many legal challenges to the HHS mandate in ObamaCare which forces employer provided health insurance plans to cover abortion pills. A federal district court judge has ruled against the Oklahoma City-based Hobby Lobby and Mardel – companies that challenged the HHS mandate claiming the regulations violate the religious beliefs of the owners.
In its decision, the court concluded that the retailers must follow contraceptive health insurance rules that begin Jan. 1st. U.S. District Judge Joe Heaton said the retailers were "secular, for-profit corporations" and did not have free-exercise rights under the First Amendment.
This latest decision underscores what's at stake here: constitutionally protected religious liberties. The: ACLJ: is aggressively challenging this mandate, representing three direct challenges to the mandate itself, along with filing amicus briefs backing challenges in a dozen other cases.
As I told Megyn Kelly on FOX News today, this decision is just one more example of the real division that exists in the courts on this issue. Our position is clear: the idea that companies must check their religious beliefs at the door is simply absurd. The fact is that business owners must be able to conduct their businesses in accordance with their faith.
The division in the courts sets the stage for further appeals and a road to the U.S. Supreme Court. That's exactly where this critical issue is headed.:
Jay Sekulow: is Chief Counsel of the: ACLJ.

Horses who help people in miraculous ways often build strong bonds of trust with the humans they serve. I'm always impressed when I see the depth of understanding that takes place between disabled people and their therapy horses, or between mounted police officers and their horses.
I'm all the more impressed when I consider how a lack of trust between a horse and me once contributed to a frustrating but funny trail ride. On vacation in Hawaii years ago, my sister Courtney (an accomplished equestrian with years of riding experience) and me (a novice) joined a trail ride for tourists through a lush, wild landscape on the Big Island. Courtney and the others all took command of their horses in loving yet firm ways, projecting confidence. I, however, was more than a bit scared -- and my horse must have sensed it.
So when the other horses trotted, mine stopped and looked around. When the other horses crossed streams, mine balked at the idea of setting so much as one hoof in the water. When the other horses gathered in a group behind our tour guide so their riders could hear the guide well, mine wandered off with me aboard, going far off the trail until he found a guava and then proceeding to eat the whole fruit while I tried to talk him into re-joining our group.
The experience taught me about the importance of building trust with an animal before asking it to serve. So I take my city slicker cowgirl hat off to people who have close bonds with horses. When bonds of trust exist in relationships between horses and humans, miracles can happen.

Sunday, December 28
WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- Chris Faidley scored 24 points, all in the first half, as Whitman College rolled over Thompson Rivers University 110-68 in a men's exhibition game Sunday afternoon in Sherwood Center.
The game was Whitman's first outing since Dec. 6 but does not count toward its NCAA win-loss record. The Missionaries take a 3-4 record to Portland on Monday for a 7:30 p.m. game at Warner Pacific.

Thompson Rivers (Kamloops, B.C.), which plays in the Pacific Division of the Canada West Athletic Association, is 2-10 on the season.
Whitman jumped on the Warlocks early, racing away to an 18-2 in the first four minutes of play. The Missionaries led 65-30 and led by as many as 51 points in the second half.
Faidley hit six of 11 shots from the 3-point line. As a team, Whitman was 15 of 30 from long distance.
All 11 Missionaries who played in the game made it into the scoring column. Faidley was one of seven players who scored nine or more points. Brandon Shaw combined eight assists with 13 points and five rebounds. Jordan Wheeler handed out seven assists.

Whiteside signs FA deal with Cowboys
Aston Whiteside and Daryl Richardson are cousins and former teammates at Abilene Christian University, and they spent Saturday with family, watching the NFL draft in Vernon.
They also got to celebrate. Richardson was taken in the seventh round by the St. Louis Rams, and Whiteside later signed a free-agent deal with the Dallas Cowboys.
"Daryl got drafted, and the whole family went crazy," Whiteside said. "Thirty minutes later, I got my deal, and they all went crazy again. So we're just having fun right now."
The 6-foot, 200-pound Richardson was taken with the 252nd pick, which was the next-to-last selection in the draft. It was a compensatory pick for the Rams.
The 6-2, 285-pound Whiteside finished his four-year career with 31½ sacks, good for second on ACU's all-time list.
He also finished with 57½ tackles for loss totaling 341 yards in losses.
He was one of the most dominating defensive ends in the region, much less the Lone Star Conference.
Yet he felt lucky to get a chance to play for the Cowboys.
"I'm very blessed," he said. "It's a great experience."
Whiteside worked out at defensive end, defensive tackle, outside linebacker, tight end and fullback during ACU's pro day. However, he said the Cowboys want him to play defensive end and middle linebacker, and he's been told he has a shot at making the team.
"I talked to the defensive coordinator," Whiteside said. "He said I have a good chance to make the team."
Whiteside said he considered signing with the Minnesota Vikings, but decided the Cowboys were a better fit.
"I like their defense, and it's close to home," he said. "I've got a fighting chance to show what I can do. The Vikings was a good pick, too. But my agent thought the Cowboys were a better pick."
Richardson is the brother of former Vernon running back Bernard Scott, who begins his fourth year with the Cincinnati Bengals this season. His cousin Clyde Gates, another former ACU star, also is a second-year receiver with the Miami Dolphins. Whiteside also is Gates' and Richardson's cousin. All grew up in Vernon.
Richardson rushed for 867 yards and 11 touchdowns as a senior last season. He also caught 40 passes for 371 yards and two touchdowns.
n Former Midwestern State running back Lyndon Rowells has signed as a free agent with the Carolina Panthers.
Rowells played in only one game with the Mustangs in 2009 before getting injured and then transferring to Humboldt State.
n Two other Lone Star Conference players have signed free agent deals — West Texas A&M receiver Brittan Golden with the Bears and Tarleton State quarterback Nick Stephens with the Titans.

Beach Retreat, Spring Retreat
As always everyone who wnet had a lot of fun while building up friendships and a relationship with God through the CCM community
During the Spring semester, CCM goes on a second retreat. In past years the retreat was based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius, and includes plenty of time for personal reflection, silence, prayer, and fellowship. It is planned and guided by the staff who give talks, guided reflections, and much of their own free time to meet with students who just want to talk. Last year around forty people went on retreat with us and all of them had a blast!
This Spring we had two reteats: Spiritual Bootcamp - which taught about developing a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit and helped students further their relationships with God through all persons of the Holy Trinity. Encounter with Christ - a student-run retreat, full of fellowship and peer-lead activities. Peer testimonies, small group discussion, silent prayer time, games and the Sacraments are all a part of this nation-wide program.

Mawnan pub's cancer charity auction success
12:00pm Saturday 26th January 2013 in News
A charity auction held in Mawnan Smith recently has raised thousands of pounds for Cornwall Hospice Care.
The event, at the Red Lion pub, was a huge success, with standing room only due to the high turnout, and a final total of £2,500 raised for the charity.
Eddie and Lisa Hoogervorst, landlords of the Red Lion said: "We would like to thank the generosity of local businesses and residents, which meant that auction items came flooding in.
"On the evening local support ensured that the Red Lion was full of people bidding and contributing to the success of the event."
Cornwall Hospice Care was selected to benefit from the proceeds in memory of John Tremaine, a supporter of the annual auction and a "very great friend" of everyone involved. The charity provides adult hospice care to the people of Cornwall.
Specialist teams at its two hospices, Mount Edgcumbe in St Austell and St Julia's in Hayle, aim to provide a holistic approach to the care of people living with life limiting illnesses by providing medical, practical and spiritual treatment and support.

FYI: New NSF Initiative
|FYI Body:
Paul Chapin ****************
The National Science Foundation has announced a major new funding
initiative in the area of Learning and Intelligent Systems (LIS). The
intention of the initiative is to encourage and suppor
interdisciplinary research collaborations on topics which promise to
expand our understanding of learning, by comparative, joint study of
humans (and other sentient organisms) and artificial systems
(computers and complex engineering systems).
The LIS initiative seeks to stimulate interdisciplinary research tha
will unify experimentally and theoretically derived concepts related
to learning and intelligent systems, and that will promote the use and
development of information technologies in learning across a wide
variety of fields. The long-range goal of this initiative is very
broad and has the potential to make significant contributions toward
innovative applications. To pursue this goal in a realistic and
sustainable fashion, the initiative focuses on fundamental scientific
and technological research undertaken in the rigorous and disciplined
manner characteristic of NSF-supported endeavors. The initiative
ultimately should have a major impact on enhancing and supporting
human intellectual and creative potential. Consequently, developmen
of new scientific knowledge on learning and intelligent systems and
its creative application to education and to learning technologies are
an integral part of this solicitation.
A full LIS web site, including the Program Announcement and related
material, can be found at the URL http://www.ehr.nsf.gov/lis/home.htm.
Also, the Program Announcement (NSF Publication 97-18) text is
available by ftp at stis.nsf.gov/9718.txt.
Preliminary proposals for LIS grants must be received at NSF by
February 7, 1997. Full formal proposals will be by invitation only,
on the basis of a review of the preliminary proposals.
I strongly encourage all interested readers of LINGUIST to explore the
formation of collaborative teams to undertake research on some topic
within the scope of the LIS initiative, in order to prepare and submi
preliminary proposals.
You may address inquiries to me at email@example.com, or to Fernanda
Ferreira at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Changin' the look around here.
March 3, 2012 in Blog
Our class websites, student blogs and online literature circles are up and running, so I thought I'd take some time to do some house cleanin' around here and fix up the appearance of this site.
We decided to try out the Thesis premium WordPress theme for EduCircles. Why? Because it's purty and very customizable. Here are some pretty websites that use WordPress and the Thesis theme:
- Krispy Kreme UK uses WordPress and Thesis.
- So does Simple Mom, Matt Bites, and the Forgiveness Project.
- Matt Cutts, the head of Google's Webspam team uses WordPress and Thesis. (It's kinda interesting that this guru uses WordPress instead of Google's own Blogger platform.)
- And, now, you can add us to the list: EduCircles.org
Thesis gives you a lot of options and settings that you can customize when you've logged into your site.
- You can change fonts, tweak colours, and add headers
- You can choose how many columns you want, the size of the columns, and the layout / order of those columns.
- You can even turn on (or off) the little things – maybe you don't want the date to get published on each post – maybe you want just an excerpt to show up here – tweak all of those things from your admin dashboard.
Now, mind you, just because you can customize Thesis to make incredible and innovative sites, doesn't mean that everyone has the technical chops to be able to. Still, you get a lot more control over the look of your site (compared to some of the free WordPress themes.)
Thesis is a premium theme. If you run a self-hosted WordPress site for your class website and you want Thesis for your site, you're looking at $87 to buy the theme yourself. (More if you go for the developer option like us.)
Or, if you're using EduCircles to power your class website or online literature circles, then the Thesis theme is already waiting for you. Tell us what you think!

Tough Accusations On The Virtual GridironPosted by on October 12, 2011 – 1:16 pm
In order to make it to the highest level of the football world, players have to have an obsession with the game. That means, even when players have the day off, they still come in to the facilities to work out and watch game film. And when they go home, it's time to fire up the game system for a face-off in Madden '12.
Madden 12!!—
Brandon Banks (@speedybanks16) October 11, 2011
The premier matchup of the day on Tuesday was a Battle Royale between rookies DeJon Gomes and Jarvis Jenkins.
[Editor's Note: Jenkins is still working his way back from a preseason ACL tear, and is making good progress with his rehab. He said that he's walking around without support now, and has been really aggressive in his rehabilitation sessions. "I've got good stability now and it's not really buckling on me," he said. "I have good range of motion back, and I'd love to start running soon--whenever I get the doctor's approval."]
Fortunately for Jenkins, his thumbs are in great condition, and he was in control of the game as the clock ticked down in the fourth quarter. But in a stunning display of offensive onslaught, Gomes snatched the come-from-behind victory from the jaws of defeat.
Naturally, this led to Twitter allegations of Gomes cheating for the win. He responded by asking:
@Jarvis99jenkins how I cheat?—
DeJon Gomes (@D_Gomes24) October 11, 2011
@D_Gomes24 idk lol—
jarvis jenkins (@Jarvis99jenkins) October 11, 2011
The plot thickened when Brandon Banks met a similar fate in his Madden game with Gomes:

So in order to get to the bottom of the allegations, I had to interview the original plaintiff, to hear his side of the story.
"Every time I play Gomes, I always lose," Jenkins admitted today. "I just say he cheats, to feel better, but he's pretty good. It makes me mad, so I make up excuses. I gotta find a way to beat him."
The truth comes out, with a vow from Jenkins to avenge his previous losses. He also noted that he challenged Banks to a loser's bracket game, to no avail.
"I was gonna play Banks, but he said he went to sleep," Jenkins said skeptically. "That's what he said anyway, and he's sticking to that story. I heard he's pretty good, but we shall see when I play him."
And in case anyone was wondering, Aldrick Robinson, a man not even associated with the controversy, declared himself Madden King of this Tuesday, Oct. 11:
I seem to be the best on madden 2012 #nocontest—

It pisses me off that Trent Williams was assigned a 65 rating for his stamina…if you play the game with fatigue "on," he can't finish a drive because he is too tired. It's a conspiracy. Even 3rd string guards on the team have high 70 ratings.

So while playing on madden '12 I'm pretty sure the announcers say "A. Ryan Kerrigan" ….whenever they say his name. Might just me be me though but hopefully im not the only one.

@chucky i hear P Ryan Kerrigian (PS3).. I was wondering the same thing.
By K.Little on Oct 13, 2011 | Reply
Ryan Kerrigan's First Name is Patrick, that's why you hear the P. Ryan Kerrigan… Even in Madden the dude is a beast…
Have you guys heard them call Hankerson Lester G though? Explain that one, haha…

Kabert 2011
Comes out looking like Albert, just black with a nice thick creamy head although a touch lighter. Retention and lacing is on that Rick Ross(bawse).
The port barrel aging is wonderful on this. The sweetness melding with the red fruit and vinous character is great. That seems to dominate. Roasty espresso and dark chocolate as well.
The port, fruit, and sweetness come through first leading into the roasty espresso and dark chocolate aspects. Dry at the back end with some woody and cheese element.
Full bodied but with a slightly assertive carbonation so it doesn't feel top thick going down.
Most of the port aging these guys do is wonderful. I have no idea what Kate tastes like. This seems very Black Alberty in port barrels. Need to get a Kate.

A - Pours pitch black with two fingers of tan head. Head has amazing retention and leaves nice lacing.
S - Starts off with a slightly musty aroma, but quickly, chocolate, dark fruits and a bit of smoke come through.
T - Depp roasted malts and big chocolate taste with dark fruits and a vinous character. Creamy milk chocolate mixes with some bittersweet chocolate. Also some sweet port taste and a bit of smoke. Very nice.
M - Thick and creamy mouthfeel that finishes with roasted bitterness.
O - Nice blending of Black Albert. Maintains some of the quad-like characters of Black Albert. Very tasty.

Thanks for the gift, johndoe8!
Black as can be, thick, and substantial with a small dark brown head. This looks oily, decadent, and rich, and leaves very little stick to the glass.
A rich, bold, expressive, sweet aroma, with lots of molasses, chocolate, dark fruits like raisins and figs. There's a bit of alcohol heat here, but it's complementary and not distracting.
The flavor is more simple than the aroma, even after significant warming. It's excessively sweet with the molasses and rich dark fruit flavors dominating, with a bit of alcohol, raisin, and a bit of alcohol. The problem with this beer is that it's just overly, cloyingly sweet in anything but the smallest quantities. Rich and sweet, though still tasty.
Medium to full bodied with low-moderate carbonation.
Though I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity to try this beer, it doesn't rank as one of my favorites.

Review from notes.
A: Pours black with no head and very minimal lacing.
S: Has a massive port aroma to it, tons of dark fruit, coffee, and a bit of chocolate. The port aromas intensify with warmth.
T: Rather sweet upfront which transitions to some bitter roast, coffee, dark chocolate, and more port-wine flavor. Some dark cherries and grapes.
M: On the thicker side, medium carbonation.
O: Enjoyable, the port barrels came through a bit strong, but in a way that I liked.

A - A very black beer, poors like old engine oil. The head is bark brown and looks powerful.
S - Dark chocolate, wood, wine & coffee
T - This I have never tasted before! If one would tell me that there is plastic inside, I would say that is possible! This taste is so complex and interesting it is hard to find good words for it. Wood, oak, port, candy sugar, peat, chocolate, coffee, vanilla etc.
M - A medium carbonation and no bitterness. In the end there is some alcohol warmth. The body could have thicker to my opinion.
O - A good RIS, but slightly over the top, but now I am nagging.

330 mL bottle poured into a snifter.
Appearance - Black with some edge transparency. Huge khaki head. Lasts a long time. Thick collar.
Smell - Very porty. Chocolate and red wine. Very nice.
Taste - The wine flavor is strong here too. Chocolate and dark coffee. Chalky finish. A little sweet.
Mouthfeel - Medium heavy. Not as heavy as I thought it might be.
Overall - Delicious port wine flavor. Another winning stout from Struise.

12 oz bottle into a tulip glass. MAJOR, MASSIVE, HUGE thanks go to Stakem for gifting me with a bottle of this rarity.
Pours black as night in the glass, topped with a finger width cap of rich dark mocha foam. This retains with a thin creamy layer that skims the surface, eventually maintaining some frothy bunching around the edges, and then leaving back a cascade of brown gooey looking oils and light spotty lace. The aroma just DRENCHES the nose with a mélange of chocolate, vanilla, vinous smelling dark fruit, zippy coffee, and ight spicy notes. Going deeper reveals some woody edges and a moderate underpinning of alcohol but it's not coming off as too intrusive.
The taste is just so smooth and silky and well blended, with notes of bittersweet chocolate, vanilla, candied sugar, roasted espresso, and dark fruit, which has a big time presence here from that combination of Port barrel and Belgian yeast. Wood is felt on the edges of the profile and pulls into the finish, where tannins linger with leftover tart vinous fruit, roasted malt, and a light spiciness. The mouthfeel is full bodied and lower carbonated, with a strong creamy slickness to the feel that keeps this very easy feeling considering the higher ABV. This leaves back just a bit of lingering warmth after each sip but is otherwise exceptionally well hid.
While this marriage of two great beers didn't exactly blow me out of the water, this was still VERY good; with dense and fairly complex profiles that kept me engaged and and were overall really accessible for the strength of this. Thanks again Adam for the bottle. It was indeed a real treat!

Big thanks goes out to funkydelic for sharing this one at a recent tasting! Served from bottle into a Mikkeller oversized wine glass. Poured a massively dark brown with a half finger tan head that subsided to a minimal amount quickly. Maintained nice lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, roasted malt, dark fruit, and wood. The flavor was of roasted malt, dark chocolate, spices, wood, and dark fruit. It had a medium feel on the palate with high carbonation. Overall this was a fairly good brew. There were definitely a lot of nice things going on in this one. The dark chocolate touch was very nice as was the dark fruit. However, the mouthfeel for me left a little to be desired. The carbonation was a little too high for my liking when it comes to this style and the mouthfeel was a little thinner than I prefer. Other than that, it was a pretty good brew. Worth trying if you have not done so already.

Poured into a snifter...
A - Beautiful dark brown pour, with hints of crimson when held to the light. This took all the good aspects from Albert as far as appearances go. The head keeps building even after the pour, and takes eons to recede. Lacing is excellent!
S - Huge on dark chocolate, with identifiable, slightly boozy port notes. Darker fruits as well as brown sugar and vanilla beans make themselves well known the more the beer warms. Very light notes of smoke as well.
T - Much like black Albert, this is definitely not on the sweet side as far as stouts go. Just don't go imagining an American stout if you've never tried this one (or Albert, for that matter). The port doesn't help this fact either as it lends a more wine-like flavor to the character of this beer. That's not to say it isn't good though. The port and bakers chocolate in Kate are without a doubt here. This is like an 80 or 90% cacao dark chocolate bar. Rich rich rich RICH dark chocolate is more like it. Finishes dry with a good amount of hop bitterness and roasted malts.
M - Medium mouthfeel with very strong, prickly carbonation. Quite dry as well. The carbonation hurts this beer moreso then any beer in recent memory. Once I shook this around in my glass for minutes the flavors blew up and this beer got wonderfully complex. Alcohol is well integrated, but it's very much there.
O - I can't stress this enough for anyone wanting to try this beer - please serve this above 55 degrees or higher. You don't want to lose the flavors that this beer has to offer and you don't want the flavors this beer has under that temperature. This is the best example of needing to drink a beer properly that I can think of out of anything on the market, as the variation is insane! All things considered however, this one leans more toward Albert. A good effort, a good beer, and a great experiment; Struise remains one of my favorite breweries in the world - but this isn't that world class beer we'd all hoped for upon hearing this was going to be released.

330 ml bottle. Served in a snifter, the beer pours dark brown/black with about a half inch tan head. Head retention and lacing are both good. The aroma is very nice, it smells like roasted malt, dark fruit, port, chocolate, and some coffee. Taste is similar to the aroma, but there's addition of some cream, burnt/charred malt and a bit of anise. Good mix of sweet, fruity and roasty flavors. Mouthfeel/body is full, it's creamy and a bit coating with a good amount of carbonation. I thought this was a good overall brew, I'd pick this one up again and it's definitely worth trying.

New York law enforcement late Wednesday busted a smuggling ring, consisting of suspected members of Hamas and Hezbollah, that has been funneling millions of dollars of funds to terrorist organizations from the sale of tax-free cigarettes, the New York Daily News reported citing local law enforcement officials.
According to the report, The New York state attorney general and the New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 16 members of the group.
The ring had infiltrated the market with the sales of over one million cartons of tax-free cigarettes smuggled from Southern states, where they were bought at cheaper prices, legal authorities were reported as saying .
The ring allegedly bought $55 million of cigarettes smuggled from North Carolina and Virgina in the last year, the report said, adding that weekly sales of 20,000 cartons were trucked to locations in New York.
The smuggling group reportedly evaded $80 million in taxes while making about $10 million in profit, according to the Daily News report.
One detained smuggler, Youssef Odeh, was a supporter of blind sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman who has exhorted global "messages of hate" and has called to "kill (Jews) wherever they are," the report said. The sheik was sentenced to life in prison for plotting to blow up New York landmarks, it was reported.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Get ready to shell out an extra penny when you're sending mail. On Sunday, the price of postage increased by a cent.
First-class stamps will now cost you 46 cents. Postcard prices go up to 33 cents. If you plan to send mail out of the country, that will cost you even more. International mailing will cost $1.10.
That's up from 85 cents to Canada and Mexico and $1.05 to other international destinations.
The hike in postage prices come as the U.S. Postal Service continues to struggle financially.

Mediators working on behalf of California prison hunger strikers concluded their meeting with CDCR Secretary Jeffrey Beard on Friday, Aug. 2. The meeting comes on the heels of nearly 100 family members of hunger strikers visiting the Capitol Tuesday, where they presented a petition signed by over 70,000 people demanding negotiations with hunger strikers to Gov. Brown's office.
July 29, 2013
Mediators working on behalf of California prisoners on hunger strike are calling for an independent investigation into the July 22 death of Billy "Guero" Sell, a prisoner held in solitary confinement at Corcoran State Prison and a participant in the three-week-long hunger strike that has shaken the California prison system. Sell's death is being ruled a suicide by the CDCR. Medical professionals, religious leaders and prisoners' families call upon Gov. Jerry Brown to enter into good faith negotiations with the hunger strikers.
July 10, 2013
We are grateful for your support of our peaceful protest against the state-sanctioned torture that happens not only here at Pelican Bay but in prisons everywhere. We have taken up this hunger strike and work stoppage, which has included 30,000 prisoners in California so far, not only to improve our own conditions but also as an act of solidarity with all prisoners and oppressed people around the world.
March 5, 2013
Beginning with a rally held on the capitol steps, it was an emotional day for many, especially for family members of those suffering in the SHUs and prison survivors. The voices of those in the SHU were powerfully present, both in stories told by family members as well as statements they had sent for the occasion. The hearing provided an opportunity for legislators to hear representatives of CDCR present their new policies and weigh the truth of their claims. At the end there was a scant 20 minutes for public input.
February 22, 2013
Family members, advocates, lawyers, activists and others from across California will travel to Sacramento on Monday to speak out against the state prison system's continued use of solitary confinement. Hundreds are expected to gather for a rally outside the Capitol Building and will then attend a California State Assembly Public Safety Committee oversight hearing, convened to review the CDCR's "revised regulations" of its notorious SHUs. Rally starts 11:30 Capitol West Side.

Invasive Species
Invasive species (also known as exotic or non-native species) present a threat to native ecosystems. Not only do invasive plants outcompete native plant species by draining soil resources and blocking sunlight, but by doing so they often impact native wildlife by eliminating their food sources and habitats. Invasive animals become problems in similar ways: they eliminate food supplies for native animals and with no natural predators, they can reproduce at prolific rates.
There are a few easy ways to help prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species. Follow the links below for more information:

I've always been a firm believer in redshirting, especially with Boise State because of the complexity of the schemes. From what I've read online and according to the RB coach, Ajayi will likely start the season as No. 3 on the depth chart.
But why?
Martin and Harper are more than capable of handling a season's load of carries. And Drew Wright has shown glimpses of potential when given the opportunity. Former OBNUG-crush Malcolm Johnson has returned to the program, and Raphiel Lambert is also listed. With four running backs already ahead of him, why should we waste a year now, instead of saving him for when he will be the featured back? If there are injuries (ahem, Harper), then we would burn the redshirt with little doubt. But unless this is the case, I don't see a need for him to waste an eligible year with minimal carries.
Ajayi is definitely the future of the backfield. I just think we should stay patient, let him understand the system better, get bigger and have four years of amazing Ajayiness, not three.

The West Hartford Police Department arrested a woman, who they said was almost three times the legal limit when she crashed her car into a home early Monday morning.
Officers were called to a home on Mayflower street just after 12:30 a.m. where a motor vehicle being driven by Tirsa Camis, 24, of Hartford had crashed.
Upon arrival, officers found that Camis crashed her car into the porch in the back of the home after hitting the curb and a parked car.
Police determined that Camis had a blood alcohol level of .227, which was nearly 3 times the legal limit of .08.
Camis was charged with driving while intoxicated, released on $500 bond and scheduled to appear in Hartford Superior Court on March 14.

Hi everyone! This will be a handy tool for the many people out there, like me, who love Dropbox. I saw this on ghacks yesterday and thought I'd pass the link on (http://www.ghacks.net/2010/05/07/dropbox-folder-sync-lets-you-sync-any-folder-with-dropbox/). Basically, there is a Dropbox add-on called Dropbox Folder Sync that allows you to:
"… sync any folder outside dropbox using a simple GUI or just Right Click any folder and Select "Sync With Dropbox".
"Moves the original folder to dropbox and creates a symbolic link for the folder using the junction utility(installs automatically with the setup) from Sysinternals. Thus you can access the same folder from two locations."
Very handy addition to Dropbox. Anyway, have a look at the ghacks article if you're interested and also visit the site: http://wiki.dropbox.com/DropboxAddons/DropboxFolderSync
Dropbox rules!
March 19, 2010
@ Locutus: I remember not so long back when you reviewed the different online storage options that someone mentioned the lack of such Dropbox folder synching, so this seems to fill that niche nicely. I have installed it but haven't played around with it yet. I think I'll have a tinker with it later today.

Have that one ready? By no means did I have that one ready. I couldn't remember the name of Tabbles, but I knew it was something like Tribbles. That was funny, so I kept that and then looked up the name of Tabbles. Later I reposted the same funny Tribbles thing, so I posted an image found on Google Images. (I personally like Stargate more than Star Trek, but having an account called "Rodney McKay" would make everyone think that was my real name…. just like when I called myself Jean-Luc Picard--which was, by the way, a "I need a username for a tech site… funny… ah ha!

(I'm not writing it right now because so far, I've remembered at 11:30PM three times this week to write an article for Cogizio. 30 minutes would be plenty of time to write this up… if nothing went anything other than perfect.

A wanted man was taken into custody and another is still on the loose after officers from three agencies searched for them in Greenville on Monday.
The SLED Fugitive Task Force searched for the two men after they spotted them in a vehicle driving through the city. When they tried to pull them over, the men took off.
At one point, the vehicle hit a chain link fence at the corner of Oscar Street and Meadow Street, where the men got out and fled on foot.
Both Greenville police and the Greenville County Sheriff's Office assisted in setting up a perimeter in the area.
The driver, 21-year-old Patrick Bryant, was taken into custody and charged with failure to stop for blue lights.
Bryant is facing multiple charges including burglary, larceny and failure to comply with the conditions of bond, according to online jail records provided by the Greenville County Detention Center.
A spokesperson said the search for the other man continues.
SLED said the men are connected to armed robberies.

A non-profit organization is forced to turn away hundreds of families in need every month because funding can't keep up with the growing number of people who need emergency utility assistance.
KCTV5 is the official media sponsor for Cross-Lines Black Out for Lights On nighttime 5K run at Sporting Park.
This is one of the few 5Ks that will be held at night. The idea is symbolic. They want runners to experience darkness to bring a ray of hope to families in need.
"A lot of times, you have to put your pride aside and do whatever it takes to look out for your family. I do have small children," Timmasha Clanton said.
In 2008, Clanton came to Cross-Lines for help. The nonprofit helped keep the lights on in her home.
Her family wasn't forced to bear a heat wave without air conditioning. The loss of utilities can cause turmoil in many families. Emergency assistance can prevent the separation of a family.
"To make sure that families stay together in their home. They aren't worried about getting their lights shut off, getting evicted, where will they go, where will the kids go," Cross-Lines Director of Emergency Services Susila Jones said.
Clanton said when she first came for help, she didn't expect for the outcome to be what it was.
The former client became a volunteer. For the last five years, Clanton has either worked or volunteered at Cross-Lines to help others in need.
"People are just still struggling to keep their lights on. That can happen because they've lost their jobs, their hours have been reduced, there has been an illness in the family and those needs continue to increase," Jones said.
Jones said that need has increased by 30 percent this year.
"On a typical week, we unfortunately have to turn away about 100 people we are able to help about 20 people," Jones said.
Jones hopes the Black Out for Lights On 5K will raise funds they need to meet Wyandotte County's need.
"Unfortunately, our funds just can't keep up with that need," Jones said.
If you want to get out and get active for a good cause, race registration begins at 8 p.m. Friday at Sporting Park in Kansas City, KS.
The event begins at 9 p.m.
The race costs $35 for adults and $15 for anyone under 15. Click here for more information.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - Now that Madeline Rogero is Knoxville mayor-elect, another big task is ahead: transitioning into the mayor's office.
Rogero met with newly elected city council members and interim Mayor Daniel Brown for lunch Wednesday afternoon. "We had a leadership team here this morning with several heads of institutions here in town and with the city and county mayor. So far it's been a great day," said Rogero. As Rogero prepares to take office, she's also looking to get her leadership team in place."The first thing we'll do is take a look at the structure. Every mayor plans his or her administration differently. So we'll finalize our structure and we'll start announcing my leadership team," she said.
Rogero said she would like to keep Knoxville Police Chief David Rausch and Fire Chief Stan Sharp.
Interim Mayor Brown's leadership team includes Deputy to the Mayor Larry Martin, who is set to retire in December. Senior Policy Director Bill Lyons says he may leave as well. "We're here to serve the citizens so that's the philosophy I'm looking for, someone who is committed to that kind of public service," Rogero said. Once she gets her team in place, issues she would like to focus on include strengthening the city's neighborhood associations, along with Knoxville's business climate."We talked during the campaign about being proactive and working with the business community to make sure we have a good business climate so they can grow and jobs can be created by the private sector," Rogero said.
Rogero's inauguration is scheduled for December 17.
