6UFC Fighter Tito Ortiz Arrested and Released in Connection With the Alleged Beating of Jenna Jameson
Tito Ortiz, Jenna Jamesons' live-in boyfriend or whatever, was arrested early yesterday morning at the couple's shared home in Huntington Beach, California on allegations that he assaulted the former porn star.
Ortiz, a UFC fighter, was said to have "freaked out" on his baby mama, Jenna Jameson. Ortiz claimed that he had no part in injuring Jameson and maintains a position stating that she "injured herself" while under the influence of Oxycontin, a drug that she's reportedly abused for years.
However, Jenna claims that Tito "threw" her into a tub and hurt her both physically and mentally. In an interview earlier yesterday, Jameson states that she had said something "extremely hurtful to his [Ortiz] ego" and Ortiz became enraged with her. Jameson claims that Ortiz threw her into the bathtub as a result and Jameson had suffered torn shoulder ligaments because the mere force of the throw. Jameson also claims that Ortiz is overreacting to practically everything these days because of his concern for her, uh, "fabled" Oxycontin addiction. Jameson claims that Ortiz is "very, very desperate" at this point.
Despite Jameson's allegations, Tito maintains a position that he's never laid a hand on Jameson — and no matter what the case, wouldn't.
Tito was released on bail late yesterday afternoon.
The couple have two children together, twins that are just over a year old.

I think it's safe to reserve too much judgement here. She has a history of substance abuse but who knows what goes on in a relationship? I don't know, he just never came across as the type. I know he can act like a punk to wind his opponents up but he never came across as dishonest and I'm inclined to believe his side of the story. Whatever I hope that whichever of them needs help gets it.
Is there some requirement that rich, famous drug abusers have to have twins?
So was Jenna abusing while she was pregnant? Who gets the kids, the drugged-out former porn star mummy or the people-pounding papa?
Poor kids – what a legacy. I think there needs to be a whole separate therapy devoted to the kids of fame-whore addicts.
i'll have to admit that i am suspicious of any defense, especially related to violence against women, that starts with blaming the victim.
how would being a drug addict, admittedly not a good thing, excuse you from hurting someone. there's no excuse for letting things go that far.
I'm inclined to believe Ortiz on this one. She claims to have torn ligaments on her shoulder, but then why is her upper arm the only thing being treated? My friend tore a shoulder ligament playing football and he had ton of stuff around his shoulder for months. He also had to wear a sling because apparently with a torn ligament, he couldn't carry the weight of his arm very easily. So yeah, fishy injury. Also, why is she so eager to talk to the paparazzi?
Gosh! Whoever thought that a porn star girlfriend could be so high maintenance. They deserve each other.
Tito got great sense? of humor and he's a great fighter. I wonder why he beats his own wife…

Tomato Pasta Soup
In my household, as far as soups go, I do not have the luxury of opting for any shortcuts like using store bought bouillon/soup cubes which can save a hell lot of time. Arjun loves soups and I try to make a soup at least once in a fortnight and it has to be from scratch. Usually, I just make a plain tomato soup for him but recently my kids have taken a sudden affinity to pasta.

Garlic And Smoked Tomato Pull Apart Bread
So, how warm is warm enough, asked my friend. She meant the water's temperature for proofing the yeast. When I started out with yeast, even I used to wonder the same as I did not have a thermometer to check on the temperature and still do not have one. To get the perfect raised dough, the proofing of yeast is very important and if the water is not hot enough the dough will not rise or if the water is very hot it will kill the yeast. Luckily for me during the initial days itself, I chanced upon a fool proof way to proof the yeast which has never let me down so far.

After all what is a party without a Pizza, right. It came out fabulous but of course I had to make some marked changes to the dough as I do not get Strong White flour and fast action yeast at my place.

Why use Precast Concrete?
Technical Data
Prestressed Concrete is an
architectural and structural material possessing great strength.
The unique characteristics of prestressed concrete allow
predetermined, engineering stresses to be placed in members to
counteract stresses that occur when the unit is subjected to
service loads. This is accomplished by combining the the best
properties of two quality materials: high strength concrete for
compression and high tensile strength steel strands for tension.
Actually, prestressing is
quite simple. High tensile strands are stretched between abutments
at each end of long casting beds. Concrete is then poured into the
forms encasing the strands. As the concrete sets, it bonds to the
tensioned steel. When the concrete reaches a specific strength,
the strands are released from the abutments. This compresses the
concrete, arches the member, and creates a built in resistance to
service loads.
Prestressed Concrete Beam
Prestressed or pretensioned
before it leaves the plant, a slight arch or camber is noticeable.
Energy is stored in the unit by the action of the highly tensioned
steel which places a high compression in the lower portion of the
member. An upward force is thereby created which in effect
relieves the beam of having to carry its own weight.

Players are introduced to Nick Ramos, a young mechanic with a bizarre tattoo and an mysterious past, who has to find a way to escape a city full of zombies before a coming military strike wipes the city of Los Perdidos, California, and everyone in it, off the face of the Earth.

Nov 18, 2013If it's a true "next-generation" game you're after, look no further than Dead Rising 3. Capcom Vancouver's gory, over-the-top zombie thriller is a technological masterpiece that amply showcases the power of Microsoft's new Xbox One console. But more importantly, it's also immensely and outrageously enjoyable.
Nov 18, 2013Bigger and better than ever, Dead Rising remains true to its conception, and becomes one of the most entertaining games of the Xbox One. It is not the most shocking game in the visual field, but it's very, very fun, and that's what matters.
Nov 18, 2013Dead Rising 3 is a solid free roaming, with a lot of wicked weapons and many cool things to entertain the player. Unfortunately, the graphics are not something we can define as "next-gen".
Nov 18, 2013Like a shuffling zombie with its eye on a hunk of meat, Capcom has stayed the path, offering a juiced-up Dead Rising experience that benefits from the next-gen hardware's added horsepower.
Jan 23, 2014The third installment turned out quite good and throws the series killing spree into an open world setting. It could use a little bit of tuning here and there but in overall, it's so much fun! [Issue#238]
Nov 24, 2013It's fun. It's as fun, if not more, than any of the previous games. It's not going to change the world ten times over, but for a launch title, this is where we should be.
Jul 2, 2014Get ready for a new generation of zombie-slaying thrills where there's only minimal gameplay to get in the way of the thrills!

Nov 27, 2013Ignore the low scored that talk about frame rate drops. These people haven't played the game. After the day one patch the frame rate is solid. If there's even the merest frame skip, it's well hidden with motion blur.
Dead Rising doesn't slow down even when you're ploughing through hundreds of zombies at high speed, explosions going off left and right (feels very next-gen there). The Eurogamer DF analysis was done on a pre-release build that no one who has an internet connection got to play, so is about as misleading as it gets.
This is the best Dead Rising, all-round, and the most approachable.… Expand
Nov 24, 2013This is a solid 8/10
It has its moments but the open zombie ridden world is just too awesome to negate from conversation. The fact you can jump on cars, roofs and scenery and become surrounded by a horde of zombies and jump in and slaughter the lot and come out covered in gore, its just exactly what you want from a zombie game.
Visually its ok for next-gen; the kinect integration is nice (talking though menus, controlling your posse and shouting at zombies); the gameplay is epic; the cut-scene that is a rip-off from Shaun of the Dead is noticable … Expand
Nov 24, 2013Killing zombies is fun, as always.

text: Former Northeastern star Wade MacLeod was rushed to a hospital on Sunday night after suffering a seizure that led to the postponement of the host Springfield Falcons' AHL game against Adirondack. The Falcons said in a statement that the 26-year-old forward from Coquitlam, British Columbia, was stable and alert. MacLeod, who had an assist on Springfield's lone goal, was checked into the glass by defenseman Brandon Manning with 3:12 left in the second period and Adirondack ahead, 2-1. Manning was assessed a two-minute penalty for boarding. MacLeod collapsed to the ice as he was skating to the bench and was tended to by paramedics and a physician on duty for several minutes before being stabilized on a stretcher. ''We would like to thank everyone for the overwhelming show of support for Wade tonight,'' MacLeod's family said in a statement. ''Wade is alert, in good condition, in positive spirits, and is resting comfortably at Baystate Medical Center. He will remain at the hospital while he undergoes tests. We are deeply appreciative of all the caring and kind words we have received from family, friends, and fans.'' MacLeod has four goals and seven assists in 20 games this season with the Columbus Blue Jackets' affiliate.

Plant Operations Management Solutions
Optimize critical performance. Prioritize safety and compliance.
Complex manufacturing plants, such as nuclear, fossil, chemical, refining and offshore facilities, face a unique set of challenges to operate their facilities more safely, efficiently, economically, with less impact to the environment. It is therefore important to look at one of the major contributors to those challenges: Plant Operations.
The industry as a whole is focusing on ways to better manage the complex processes performed by operators and managers in their production facilities as a way to meet these challenges. Managing activities in a complex plant operations environment demands a comprehensive, integrated software system that not only optimizes performance, but can also be implemented quickly and adapted to plant-specific procedures and processes without compromising safety. To improve quality and reliability, plant operators require the ability to access this functionality from a mobile device out at the point of performance and not back in the head office.
expand Key Benefits
Operations Management enables operators and maintenance personnel to optimize the safety, efficiency and productivity of their operations by:
- Providing a consistent, organized, and integrated approach to activities related to plant operation.
- Reducing the time and costs associated with operation and maintenance activities.
- Promoting and enhancing consistency and compliance with procedures, regulations & best practices.
- Optimizing the access and dissemination of critical information throughout the plant to make better informed decisions.
- Enhancing inter-department communications.
- Providing safe workplace governance.
- Providing better integration of plant operation processes.
- Facilitating change management of operation processes.
- Improving knowledge retention.

|Configuration Control
|Track configuration activities associated with the 'living model' for all plant procedures. Provides operators with information related to equipment configuration control and status based on actual plant conditions, as opposed to static procedures.
|Implement, control and execute a plant's tag-out procedures including the ability to 'share' tags which has proven to save significant manpower during normal operation and outages without compromising safety.
|Operator Rounds
|Automate the collection, storage and analysis of equipment data from operator rounds. Provides personnel responsible for plant operation with a powerful yet easy-to-use tool to detect and prevent equipment problems, thus maximizing plant reliability.
|LCO Tracking

MT. VERNON — The Granada's Classic Kids' Matinee will continue March 8 with a screening of the 2011 3D computer-animated movie, "Gnomeo & Juliet."
Based on the classic play "Romeo and Juliet," the British film features the voices of James McAvoy and Emily Blunt.
It follows the story of two garden gnomes who fall in love despite coming from rival families.
Doors open for the March 8 showing at 1:30 p.m., and the movie begins at 2 p.m. All children who attend must be accompanied by an adult.
The sponsor of this month's film is MidCountry Bank in Mt. Vernon. Gary Evans, branch manager of the bank, said MidCountry officials
selected "Gnomeo & Juliet" because a bank employee had seen the film and greatly enjoyed it.
"We thought it'd be a fun movie for the kids," Evans said.
The Granada Center for the Performing Arts hosts the Classic Kids' Matinee once a month each year from October to May. Admission is free and concessions are available for a modest price.
Prior to the March 8 screening, a drawing will be held for a free kids' birthday party at the Froggeez family fun center.
Eight films are selected for the matinee each year. The 2013-2014 season has featured a mix of live action and animated movies.
The sponsors for this season have included several local banks and St. Mary's Good Samaritan Hospital.
Evans said MidCountry has been a sponsor for the last few years, and that the matinee program is a great benefit to the community.
For many children, the Classic Kids' Matinee is their only chance to experience an old-fashioned good time out at the movies, Evans said.
"It's nice to have a place for the kids to come (and to) expose them to something they might not always get to do," Evans said. "They've done a great job there at the Granada. We're just happy to be able to help them out."
There are two more films left in this season's Classic Kids' Matinee. "The Love Bug" will be screened on April 12, and "The Odd Life of Timothy Green" will be shown on May 10.
For more information, contact the Granada at 740-0707.

Midway through the third period of last Sunday's showdown between Montreal and Boston , the old seigneurs and brash young lords of hockey, Ken Dryden stretched all 42 inches of his left arm across the mouth of the Canadien net and speared a couldn't-miss shot by Phil Esposito . Esposito , Public Enemy No. 1 to goaltenders, having scored the criminal total of 76 goals during the season, stared at Dryden , cursed him—"You thieving giraffe!"—and then slammed his curved stick against the glass behind the goal. "I looked at the faces of the Bruins," Dryden said later, "and I could see it all so clearly. They all looked defeated."
The Bruins were defeated (see cover), and it was Dryden , with help from the Mahovlich brothers, Peter and Frank, and some of that inexhaustible Montreal pride that upset them 4-2 in the Boston Garden in the seventh game of their wild and wicked Stanley Cup series.
" Dryden was better than we had ever dreamed," said Bobby Orr , who through the seven games performed more erratically than his Boston worshipers had ever dreamed he could.
It was the first time all year that the Bruins , runaway conquerors of the East, really had to win a game, and when they failed, Montreal 's John Ferguson crowed, "That's one dynasty that didn't last very long."
Before 14,994 suffering spectators in the Garden and a national television audience, Peter Mahovlich set up a pretty first-period goal to put the Canadiens ahead 2-1, and brother Frank killed the last flickering Boston hopes with his second goal of the game, which made it 4-1 in the final period—after Jacques Lemaire had poke-checked the puck away from Orr . It was Frank Mahovlich , a wanderer from Toronto and Detroit only recently come to Montreal , who said, "With the Canadiens, pride is instilled even in the ratholes of the Forum."
In defeat the Bruins proved conclusively that they go only where Bobby Orr takes them. When Orr was able to control the puck with his private games of keepaway, Boston was invincible. But when the Canadiens were able to stymie Bobby by harassing him with two forecheckers or by ganging up on him at their blue line with what looked like hockey's version of the goal-line stand, as they did Sunday, Boston sputtered like any machine suddenly deprived of its horsepower. "Stop Orr," said John Ferguson of the Canadiens , "and you do stop the Bruins . It's that simple."
Indeed, the complexion of the series turned on what Orr did—or did not do—in every game. As the week began the series stood at 2-2; i.e., two superior Orr performances vs. two miserable ones.
"Now it's down to the best two of three," Phil Esposito said as the Bruins flew home for the fifth game, "and there's no way the Canadiens are going to beat us in Boston . No way. Believe me."
Despite Esposito's conviction, the other Bruins were wary as they waited for the Canadiens. Cocky and brash during their romp through the league during the regular schedule, they were now morose. Most of them had expected Montreal to die in four straight games. "Don't those damned little Frogs ever quit?" one player asked.
For both the Bruins and the Canadiens , it was now obvious, too, that besides Orr 's battle with himself there were three other key matchups that ultimately would decide the winner. First of all there were the goaltenders—Dryden and Gerry Cheevers . At 6'4" and 210 pounds, Dryden covers most of the net, something the Boston shooters found most discouraging. The strongest complaints came from Esposito, who was not playing like a man who had scored 76 goals. "In 1968 Gump Worsley was like St. Peter at the pearly gates against us. The next year that little Roggy Vachon robbed me blind. And now these bleeping Canadiens come up with Dryden . Cripes. The kid's got paws like a giraffe." What made Esposito particularly annoyed at the rookie was the fact that Phil's low shots for the corners—shots that were goals against normal-sized net-minders all season—kept deflecting off Dryden 's pads. "My brother wouldn't do the things to me that this guy has been doing," Esposito said, shaking his head.
Between games law student Dryden visited law school libraries. "That's good," said Gerry Cheevers. "At least I'll never run into him off the ice." When he is not in the Boston goal, Cheevers usually can be found at the race track. "I start every day the same way," he says, "with the Lord's Prayer. 'Our Father, Who art in heaven, give us this day our daily double.' "
The second and third vital matchups involved centermen: Boston 's swinging Derek Sanderson vs. Jean Beliveau , the magnificent captain of the Canadiens , and Montreal 's Henri Richard vs. the quick stick of Phil Esposito . Sitting in the Bruins ' dressing room one night, Sanderson talked about Beliveau . "I hate him. I hate him," Derek said, twitching his mustache. "What I hate about Beliveau is that he's so good. All the time I was growing up I idolized him. So now I'm playing against him and I still think he's the greatest. But the way I figure it, if we're going to win, I got to outplay Beliveau ."
The great man of the Canadiens gave Derek a few hard lessons during the first three games, but Sanderson covered Beliveau so closely in the fourth game that Jean was never an important player. "That's what I've got to do again," Derek said.
Playing Richard against Esposito was a totally unexpected move by Montreal Coach Al MacNeill. Actually, in the first game MacNeill started with Peter Mahovlich , who at 6'4" and 210 pounds is bigger than Esposito , but when Phil took 11 shots at Dryden (none got past him) MacNeill switched to the Pocket Rocket. Starting with the second game, Richard skated alongside Esposito everyplace he went—even to the Boston bench. Phil, who averaged some seven shots on goal during the season, took only three shots at Dryden in the second game, six in the third and four in the fourth. "Henri is doing his job, right?" Esposito said bitterly.
And so, when the fifth game started last Tuesday in Boston , the matchups were set. In the first minute Wayne Cashman scored for Boston . Moments later Yvan Cournoyer tied the score for the Canadiens . All the while Richard was dogging Esposito and Sanderson was clinging to Beliveau . Orr , meanwhile, seemed to be playing as he did in the first game—more concerned about preventing goals than scoring them.
Then it happened. The puck was behind the Montreal goal. Richard left Esposito alone in front, figuring the puck was safely on the stick of a Montreal defenseman. But somehow the puck hopped over the net—and Dryden , too—and there was Esposito free to tap in one of the easiest goals he has ever scored. "I was owed that, thank you," he said later. Boston then started to hit every Canadien who moved, and soon the Bruins were in control. Mike Walton scored later in the first period and the Bruins rolled to a 5-1 lead in the second.
Contrary Montreal roared out for the third period and scored two fast goals. Visions of the third-period debacle in Game No. 2 started to dance through the minds of the Garden spectators, but Johnny Bucyk killed the rally with a strong individual effort, and the Bruins ultimately got a 7-3 victory. The Garden crowd jeered Dryden , yelling, "The Bruins ain't Hahvud, kid," as the Canadiens left the ice. "We'll be back," said John Ferguson . "We'll be back."
Although the Cheevers-Dryden confrontation was probably a standoff, mostly because Dryden stopped 56 Boston shots while Cheevers had to cope with only 27 Montreal attempts, the Bruins clearly won the other matchups. Esposito scored a goal and took 10 more shots at Dryden , while Sanderson totally blunted Beliveau when Jean had the puck or was in position to get it. Most important, though, Orr played a strong game—not as spectacular as in his hat-trick performance the previous Sunday, but solid, solid.
Back in Montreal for the sixth game Thursday night, Al MacNeill made one more change in his lineup. Hoping to add some speed and aggressiveness on the wing, he decided to move Henri Richard from center to right wing, a position Henri had not played since the 1950s. They had been fairly docile in the previous game, but now the Canadiens came on with speed and muscle. Peter Mahovlich scored early, skating through four Bruins and beating Cheevers from 25 feet. After Esposito scored on a power play to tie the score, Richard made a clever move to beat Cheevers with a backhander to give Montreal a 2-1 lead. Boston tied the score again on another power-play goal, but the Canadiens were still flying. With two Bruins in the penalty box, Jacques Lemaire broke the tie, and four minutes later J.C. Tremblay beat Cheevers for a 4-2 lead. Henri scored again and so did Peter Mahovlich as the Canadiens overpowered the Bruins 8-3. It was Boston 's worst defeat of the year.
Mahovlich is called Peter the Clown by his teammates, including his brother Frank, because of the pranks he likes to play in hotel lobbies—like setting the newspapers of lobby sitters afire. He ignited Orr 's temper in the third period and had a pretty fair fight with him. Orr won. It was the only thing Boston won all night.
Beliveau handled Sanderson easily, and half a dozen Montreal checkers kept Esposito tightly guarded whenever Phil was near Dryden . Meanwhile, Dryden got an assist on one of Peter Mahovlich 's goals, and when the public-address man announced it the Forum crowd stood and cheered the goaltender for a solid minute.
Orr played inconsistently. "I don't know what's the matter," he said. "I want to go, but when I turn it on I don't go anywhere." He thought for a moment. "I'd better go when I turn it on Sunday. We'd all better. Cripes."
As most of North America knows by now Orr did not go, ending that remarkable affair and permitting some reflection on the other playoff battles. New York and Minnesota managed to settle their feuds with Toronto and St. Louis in six games, and Chicago , of course, had required only four games to dispose of Philadelphia . For the Rangers—who rallied behind Eddie Giacomin 's goaltending and some sudden goal scoring by their captain, Bob Nevin—it was the first time in 21 years they had won any kind of a series in Stanley Cup play. For the North Stars—who turned to Gump Worsley , one of the two NHL goalies who still refuse to wear a mask, and a former collegian named Lou Nanne for urgent help after they lost two of their first three games—it marked the first time in three playoffs that they had defeated their bitter mid-country rivals, the Blues , and it also meant that for the first time since expansion the Blues would not be playing in the final cup series.
The Rangers seemed to have a simple game plan for the Maple Leafs . From the start they directed their attack at crusty old Bob Baun, the very good Leaf defenseman who is the one steadying influence on the other Toronto defenders, all of whom are in their early 20s. While doing this, though, the Rangers forgot to play the close-checking hockey that has made them a good team. As a result they barely squeaked past Toronto 5-4 in the first game, lost the second game 4-1 and then lost the third game 3-1. When Giacomin allowed eight goals in the first two games he was replaced by Gilles Villemure . Indeed, it seemed that Giacomin 's history of poor playoff performances was being replayed.
Still, Emile Francis, the New York coach and general manager, went back to Giacomin for the fourth game—a critical one for the Rangers . And suddenly Giacomin played like the Giacomin of the regular season. He limited the Maple Leafs to four goals in the next three games, and the Rangers won all three. The last was best, a masterpiece of suspense as Nevin scored nearly 10 minutes into sudden-death overtime to win for the Rangers 2-1. Ironically, Nevin has been the least favorite Ranger among the fans at Madison Square Garden . "The first time I make a bad play in the Garden I'll get the same old business from the fans," Nevin said before the Rangers flew to Chicago for the opener in their semifinal series with Chicago , which they also won 2-1 in overtime.
When Nevin was scoring his winning goal, the organist at The Met in Bloomington , Minn. was just starting to play Bye, Bye, Blues , and the 15,370 packed into the rink began to serenade the visitors from St. Louis , who, at the time, were losing 5-2. Then the place fell quiet. "I told the organist to stop," said North Stars Coach Jack Gordon, "because I wanted to win the series first—and then celebrate." The score remained 5-2—and, boy, did the North Stars celebrate.
Fierce opponents since the first days of expansion, the Blues and the North Stars had waged continuous guerrilla warfare that St. Louis always seemed to win. But not this time. Worsley stepped into the goal last Sunday night and, despite a pulled groin muscle, he stopped the Blues 2-1 to even the series at two games apiece. Gump played superbly in Minnesota Tuesday when the North Stars, on a last-gasp goal by Lou Nanne , upset the Blues 4-3, and he was strong again in the 5-2 victory Thursday that won the series. For Worsley it was a profitable week. Gump has a $37,500 base salary, and he gets a bonus of $500 for each victory. The three wins over the Blues , then, were worth an extra $1,500—in addition to the $2,250 he earned by playing on a winning quarterfinal team.
For all their trouble, the North Stars immediately got more—Montreal. Much would depend on Gump Worsley , nature's most successful copy of the fireplug—and a man who hates to fly. When last seen, however, the Gumper didn't really need an airplane.
As for Bobby Orr , he said, "I'm going to go home and practice playing hockey."

A second petition to recall Lubbock City Councilwoman Linda DeLeon is now in the hands of the city secretary. Organizers turned that petition in just minutes for the 5:00 p.m. deadline.
In the meantime, Councilwoman DeLeon is already asking for the voter's support.
NewsChannel 11 spoke with City Secretary Becky Garza Monday afternoon. She tells us that her office will be in charge of verifying the signatures on this second petition, and that they will follow the same state guidelines as before.
Before the petition was even turned in, DeLeon spoke with the media just off Yucca Lane in north Lubbock. That's where the new O'Reilly Auto Parts distribution plant will be located. That's just one of several projects she spoke about, along with their impact, on District 1.
DeLeon called this second petition a distraction from that work.
"I'm disappointed about the recall effort because it's a distraction for the important work that needs to be done. I think I've done a good job up to this point, and I'm asking the citizens to allow me to stay and give me an opportunity," DeLeon said.
Petition organizers spent this past weekend going door to door collecting signatures. Co-organizer Armando Gonzales says they are being very meticulous with the signatures on this second petition.
"People are still adamant about signing and have a change in district 1, so I really am grateful to the people that have signed the petition," Gonzales said.
Again, the second petition is now in the hands of the city secretary. The office will have to verify 494 signatures to force a recall election in November.
Like last time, 10% of people who signed must also have voted for DeLeon in the last election. Garza tells us that's 10% of the total signatures, so if they have more than 494 people on the petition, more than 49 will have to sign saying they voted for DeLeon in the past.
Garza says she doesn't predict that will be a problem because petition organizers met that criteria before, but didn't have enough valid signatures overall.
Coming up Monday night on NewsChannel 11 at 10:00 p.m., DeLeon responds to the fact that two former Lubbock City Council Members signed this latest petition. We'll also hear from the petition organizers just moments after they turned in their second petition.

News: Wiz Khalifa Names His Favorite Killa: "That N*gga Had Such An Influence On Me"
Tuesday, Nov 27, 2012 9:39AM
Taylor Gang leader Wiz Khalifa has dished out his love for New York rapper Cam'ron and just how much the Dipset boss influences his own movements.
While discussing their "The Bluff" collaboration, Khalifa delved into his respect for Killa Cam.
"This song is awesome cause its a super f*ckin' dream come true for me. If anybody doesn't know, I f*ckin' love Cam'ron. That n*gga had such an influence on me, my style," Wiz said. "And I never even thought I would ever get to meet him, let alone do a song with him. So it's like Snoop, Cam, Juicy J, and anybody from Wu-Tang, they was like all my n*ggas man.. and Bone! They all got the same place in my heart. So me doing this song with Cam was really big." (Miss Info TV)
Their new collaboration's music video officially premiered online this week.
Wiz Khalifa gets high with Cam'ron in the video for "The Bluff." The rappers, who both share the first name Cameron, rock fur coats as they kick it in Cam's native New York. They count their paper and meet up at the laundromat, while boasting about their bank accounts on the laid-back cut, which will appear on Wiz' upcoming album O.N.I.F.C. (Dec. 4). (Rap-Up)
Back in 2010, Wiz spoke on wanting to work with rap veterans like Cam for his Rolling Papers Atlantic Records debut.
"I wanna work with Cam'ron, trying to get Cam'ron on the album. [Twitter trending topic] 'CamronSays,' Cam'ron's my man, a lot of people don't know I started that. I did, me. Shout-out to Killa. I want to get Killa on the album." (Power 92.1)
Recently, the Pittsburgh rapper talked about his new LP's content and delay.
"There was always a happy medium," Wiz told us. "It's just like I said, you gotta express those views and that's where I said I was at, at that point with me more or less having to express my views and make those stick." Khalifa insists that there is no problem between him and the powerhouse label. "It's nobody's problem or anything like that. That's just where we was at, at the time," he said. As far as O.N.I.F.C. goes, Wiz promises that it will come before the end of the year after missing its initial August 28 date and its September 18 make-up date. "The album is completely done and that's what it was, just getting it all the way finished," Khalifa said before comparing it to last year's Rolling Papers. "You can just expect it to be more musical. All the elements that you're used to getting from a quote-unquote 'Wiz project,' you're gonna get every last one of those elements, whereas I feel like the first album lacked some of those elements." (MTV)

RICHLAND, Wash. (AP) -- A nuclear reactor in Washington state that produced plutonium for the first atomic blast is now a National Historic Landmark.
The Department of the Interior announced the designation Monday for the world's first full-scale nuclear reactor.
The B Reactor at the Hanford site also produced plutonium for the second atomic bomb dropped on Japan during World War II.
Local officials have been seeking the landmark designation for years. They hope to save the reactor from being permanently cocooned as part of the cleanup of the highly contaminated site.

Do I really want to be with this guy the rest of my life?

The Predicament of the Week from November 30, 1998…
Dear Breakup Girl,
I have been in the same relationship for 3 1/2 years. Lived with him for 3 years, owned our house jointly for 1 1/2 years. About a year ago, I started feeling like maybe we should be considering marriage — I was happy in the relationship and it seemed like the natural progression of the relationship too. I was very open about it and told him how I felt — his response was that he wanted to enjoy his 20s (he is now 29, I am 26) and that he didn't know if he ever wanted to get married, and he wasn't sure yet if he wanted to marry me. He said that he saw his parents have problems, a lot of friends and their parents have problems, and he wanted to be sure it was the right step to make.
I accepted this answer. In the meantime, it has given me a lot of time to focus on my own feelings and wants and needs, and has given me a chance to see things about him that I don't like, or at least recognize the fact that there were things I was unhappy about. For one, he and I do not spend a lot of time together: I am a part-time student as well as working full-time, so I am in class two nights a week. However, on two of the other nights, he goes to happy hour with his friends — ALL NIGHT, then drives home, and in his drunken stupor, wants sex. UGH. What a turn-off. I have told him how I feel about this, and he says its no big deal, that he can drink if he wants to, etc.

A man convicted of leaving his stepson to die in a McIntosh County swamp in 2010 was granted bond in hearing Friday morning.
Brian Gale was granted $6,000 bond - $1,000 based on each count in the original indictment.
"I am really thankful to the lord because I know he opened this door for Brian to be getting out. It is the best birthday and Christmas present I could ever have," said Janet Gale, Brian Gale's mother.
This comes after Gale was granted a new trial after a juror testified to texting with the victim's brother. He was found guilty on Oct. 5 of contributing to the deprivation of a minor and involuntary manslaughter.
He was found not guilty of malice murder, felony murder, cruelty to children and child endangerment. He was sentenced to a total five years to serve; five years probation.
Earlier in December, a judge ruled that the juror's texting and talking with a key witness was intentional - not accidental - and does warrant a new trial.
But because of a double jeopardy law - Gale will only go on trial for contributing to the deprivation of a minor and involuntary manslaughter.
Gale was being held at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson for two months and was brought to the McIntosh County jail for the bond hearing.
Paperwork will have to be filed before Gale can be released.

NEW YORK — The annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade kicked off in New York on Thursday, putting a festive mood in the air in a city still coping with the aftermath of superstorm Sandy.
The young, and the young at heart, were delighted by the sight and sound of marching bands, performers and, of course, the giant balloons. The weather was a sunny 47 degrees. Some parade-goers had camped out to get a good spot, staying snug in sleeping bags. Others came well-prepared with folding chairs.
Alan Batt and his 11-year-old twins, Kyto and Elina, took in the parade at the end of the route, well away from the crowd and seemingly too far away for a good view. But they had an advantage: Two tall stepladders they hauled over from their apartment eight blocks away – one for each twin.
"We're New Yorkers," the 65-year-old Batt said. "We know what we're doing."
With the height advantage, "I get to see everything!" Kyto said.
Airports, train stations and highways were expected to remain busy Thursday as people made their way home to reconnect with family and friends for Thanksgiving – though some reunions might be bittersweet because of the damage and displacement caused by Sandy.
The popular Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, attended by more than 3 million people and watched by 50 million on TV, includes such giant balloons as Elf on a Shelf and Papa Smurf, a new version of Hello Kitty, Buzz Lightyear, Sailor Mickey Mouse and the Pillsbury Doughboy. Real-life stars were to include singer Carly Rae Jepsen and Rachel Crow of "The X Factor."
The holiday came as portions of the Northeast still were reeling from Sandy's havoc, and volunteers planned to serve thousands of turkey dinners to people it left homeless or struggling.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg was reflective Thursday as he praised police, firefighters, armed services personnel, sanitation workers and volunteers involved in the storm response. After stopping at the parade, Bloomberg was heading to a firehouse in the hard-hit Rockaways area of Queens.
Bloomberg's office was coordinating the distribution of 26,500 meals at 30 sites in neighborhoods affected by Sandy, and other organizations also were pitching in.
The Long Beach Surf Association and a charity called Surf for All were sponsoring a Thanksgiving dinner in the Long Island community of Long Beach.
Some used social media to coordinate Thanksgiving volunteering. Elle Aichele, of Toms River, N.J., started a Facebook page called Hurricane Sandy Thanksgiving Adopt a Family for Dinner.
"Please host a family that needs something to be thankful for this Thanksgiving!" she wrote. "I have been thinking about what I can do to help and this is it!"

"Well, Toney has gotten in the best shape he's ever been in in about I don't know how many years. He's taken this a lot more seriously than he has his boxing career. One of the things with these boxers they have been doing it since they were little kids and how much can they learn? They start to get bored or lazy or whatever you wanna call it. So they don't train as hard. Toney has taken this serious. He's gotten in the best shape he's been in in years and this is going to be a very interesting fight. Anything can happen when two good guys go in there and start throwing punches, scrapping, and fighting. Anything can happen, but James Toney has knockout power in both hands, he's been one of the best and he's fought the best forever. Randy Couture has great wrestling and if you break down stats, James Toney doesn't have as many tools as Randy Couture has so Couture should win the fight. James Toney has talked so much smack I want to see him get smashed in this fight."
Never one to hide his true feelings, UFC President Dana White tells 790 The Zone in Atlanta (via SportsRadioInterviews) that he is hoping James Toney not only gets beaten by Randy Couture at UFC 118 this coming weekend, but gets beat down bad. It's no secret that James Toney and Dana White haven't exactly shared pleasantries through the media in the lead up to the August 28 showdown, but is it wise for the bossman of the promotion to be openly rooting against one of his fighters, even though it is "Lights Out?" Anyone at all bothered by this, or do you share Dana's sentiment about the outcome of this bout?

Some people don't like listening to motivational speakers. They think that it is just a waste of time but for people who need motivation and inspiration, motivational talks are very helpful.
Not only can you be more motivated, you can have that feeling that someone else understands what you are going through. If the speaker is a very good communicator, you can pick up great ideas to inspire you more. Getting motivation in any manner is always helpful.

Women's lacrosse playing host to Youth Night
Friday's Jacksonville University women's lacrosse game against Howard is the 2012 JU Lacrosse Youth Night at D.B. Milne Field.
More than 100 of the area's youth and high school players are expected to attend the game and immediately following, JU players will hold an autograph session.
All middle school attendees will receive a poster and an opportunity to meet their favorite JU Dolphin players. Two guest youth teams will also be scrimmaging on the turf on Friday night.
"We like to be very active in the community and do things that help all the local girls see what is out there,'' said Mindy McCord, who along with her husband, Paul, helped found several area girls lacrosse leagues and club programs. "Community involvement is what it is all about and one of the most important aspects of being a JU Dolphin. We hope the girls enjoy the fast-paced Division I action and find a player on our team that they identify with and look up to. We have a fine group of women on our team and they have been working in the community on so many levels this season."
In addition to the local youth lacrosse night, Friday's game also is the National Lacrosse Conference's Cancer Awareness Game. The team's players will wear t-shirts to help raise awareness for cancer research and funding programs.
Coach McCord knows all too well about the tragedy of losing a loved one to cancer. Her father, Walt, and husband's best friend, Mike Whitmore, both passed away of colon cancer.
"We always remember our loved ones every time we support these causes. It is with a giving heart that we honor our friends and family this weekend,'' said McCord.
Game time is 4 p.m.

Update Monday 3 p.m.:
Amherst Co., VA- Officials say they don't have enough evidence to say it was another boat that created the wake that caused a boat to capsize in the James River killing one man.
Officials say the cause was that both men in the boat were leaning to one side. They say the Charles Riggleman then started the engine, and Robert Riggleman stood up, causing the boat to tip.
Officials say Charles Riggleman was rescued by another vote on the river after he fell in. He refused to go to the hospital.
Amherst Co., VA- An Appomattox County man died Saturday night after his boat capsized on the Stapleton area of the James River.
Robert Edward Riggleman, 62, and Charles Riggleman were anchored in their 14-foot boat, when Robert Riggleman stood up to pull the anchor out of the water.
While Riggleman was standing, another boat passed his, causing a wake that made him fall out of the boat. The wake was big enough that it also caused Riggleman's boat to fill with water and capsize. Charles Riggleman survived the incident.
Neither man was wearing a life jacket when boat capsized.
Police are still investigating the incident.

This season the Pinstripe Bowl got a 2.1 rating: http://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Daily/Issues/2012/01/13/Media/Bowl-ratings/Bowl-Viewership.aspx
And Jersey State even had the benefit of playing on a Friday before a holiday weekend (last season's game was on a Thursday). Undoubtedly there were a lot more people off from work this year as compared to last.
There is no spinning this. News directors that lose 20% of an audience from the previous year get fired. TV shows that lose 20% of the audience from the previous show get canceled. Simply put, this is the TV ratings equivalent of an ass-kicking.
Any more questions about why the ACC picked SU over Jersey State?

Some of the myths surrounding how people get and spread warts might read a bit like a fairy tale. So we've asked an expert to help us sort out fact from fiction…
True or false: you can get warts by touching a frog or toad.
False. You can not get warts from touching a frog or toad.
True or false: warts are contagious…
Warts are a virus and they're caused by a DNA-based virus that is contagious from person to person.
Generally, the virus is transferred through a break in the skin. This is one reason why children, who are more prone to scrapes, scratches and close play often get warts.
True or false: adults don't get warts.
False. Adults can get warts.
Adults have much better immunity to virus than children. And so children are therefore more predisposed to getting warts more rapidly than adults.
However, if an adult's immune system has been somehow compromised, say through illness or treatment with certain drugs, they can be as susceptible as children.
True or false: Warts can appear anywhere on your body.
Wherever there's skin you can get a wart.
So a palmer's wart on your hand is essentially no different than a planter's wart on your foot…
True or false: Warts have seeds or roots.
False. Warts don't have roots or seeds. The virus can move or 'seed' in the skin and 'seed' new warts, but it's the virus that's moving and you're using the word 'seed' in a different way.
True or false: There's nothing you can do to avoid getting warts
False. There are things people can do to prevent the wart virus.
Most notably, don't pick at a wart or touch one on someone else. Also, avoid sharing personal grooming items—especially with someone who has been exposed to the virus.
Be sure to wear proper footwear around public pools or showers.
And maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes proper amounts of nutrients, exercise and sleep to keep your immune system running at full throttle.
But if you do get a wart, treatment usually starts with over the counter remedies. If the wart proves stubborn or multiplies you should see a dermatologist.
Generally, destruction of the wart removes the bulk of the wart virus and allows the patient to overcome the remainder of the wart virus that's left.
That is if your immune system is strong it should do the rest of job on its own. And for those more chronic cases…
Today, dermatologists have new treatments called 'immuno treatments', 'immuno therapy' and we have agents that goose up the patient's immunity and allow the wart to be defeated.
Warts or not… we still wouldn't recommend kissing a frog. For WebMD, I'm Damon Meharg

CHINGFORD: Hope over pilot parking scheme (From East London and West Essex Guardian Series)

CHINGFORD: Hope over pilot parking scheme
2:13pm Friday 22nd October 2010 in News By Safira Ali
TRADERS who have campaigned for free parking outside their shops hope a pilot scheme can secure funding next month.
Shopkeepers in Station Road, Chingford, are asking for 15 minutes free parking on the road to help local businesses and encourage more people to come and shop.
Currently shoppers pay £1 an hour for a voucher, which traders say discourages them from coming into the area for a quick shop and drives them to supermarkets with free parking.
Residents will decide whether North Chingford Community Council funds a one-month trial on November 15.
Darshan Sunger, from Ideal Property, said: "I have had my car clamped and a number of tickets on the street. I have witnessed other people getting tickets.
"People don't like the vouchers. And often they have mistakenly scratched off the wrong date and got parking fines.
"I am glad the scheme might be piloted here. It will encourage customers to come and shop here.
"People come to the street to get a pint of milk, or book a hairdressers appointment, or take keys to the estate agents. If you just want to pop into a shop the free parking is more convenient."
Cllr Michael Lewis said: "People don't like the parking system. And the traffic wardens are very vigilant. They don't want to pay for an hour's parking when they are just popping into one shop.
"I think if the new scheme goes through it will be very popular with the shoppers and shopkeepers. It gives more flexibility. And if you are going to stay longer that 15 minutes you can still pay for parking. The current system discourages people from shopping in the area."
Celso Lizarondo, from Almar's Superstore, said: "This is good news and I hope it goes ahead. We will definitely benefit from free parking, even though it is for a short time. It will encourage people to come in and shop in Station Road."
Vijay Arul, from Newsbox, said: "On one hand I will suffer because we sell the parking tickets in the shop, so we will sell less of them. But on the other hand it will bring more people into the area to shop so it will be good overall."

It is not always the councils fault and they need income and if motorists float the law then they should be made to pay through nose.

Fact is trade in station road is hard and these changes will be a great shot in the arm. Let's only hope it's not too little too late. Pea brained it ain't!

I don't own a business, but as a regular shopper in Station Road I know just how hard the vast majority of the local shop keepers work. It really angers me when people accuse local business owners of greed. They have to compete with the likes of Tesco's and all the other chains so they can't afford to rip off customers or offer poor service.
Rant over!

As the site technician, I am attempting to come up with a site appearance that suits everyone. From previous experience in setting up networks, it seems that it is impossible to come up with any single scheme that *someone* does not find appealing.
The differences in taste between various members of a network are as varied as the reasoning behind their preferences. From a designer's viewpoint, it can be an extremely frustrating exercise in trying to satisfy the greatest proportion of members. Some say that a bright-coloured site ie. one where the background is white - is much more uplifting than one with a dark background and point out that sites like google and facebook are successful with this approach, but others find them depressing BECAUSE they resemble these commercial sites... if you try to set a compromise with a plain background that is medium brightness, then some are pleased, but you lose the other two groups. If you try to enhance the background with tiling, then this makes the site look better, but then those with eye problems find it difficult to read the text.
In the original polls regarding this matter, I received quite a number of comments and emails from members who said they would really like to see a "space-style" background with stars, as they felt this to be very aesthetically calming and also resonant with the sentiment of many here that OV is where we "go back to our home among the stars". But, as comments have proven, the presence of the starry background upsets some members as it decreases legibility.
What would be an absolutely WONDERFUL solution would be for members themselves to be able to specify what sort of appearance they liked and this is something I will be suggesting to Ning... whether they or I can engineer it remains to be seen.
In the meantime, I would very much like to find the best solution to this for all concerned, but the only means I have able to come up with are these polls... and maybe I am mistaken in thinking that the greatest number of positive votes represents the best solution... I am not sure... hence this discussion.
I look forward to everyone's thoughts!

Here's a "pic" I think would be something to consider! it's
the Andromeda Galaxy
Hi Michael.My opinion,is that you keep the OV pages according to Votes,and leave members to play with their own < My Page >,as they like to be in appeareanse.
Namaste.Andreas.Thanks Michael.
Michael, Here's my last one as a suggestion (ONLY), But all may comment. Thanks
Alfred .. God Bless us all .. {:-)
Will get back to EVERYONE after I get some sleep!
Appearance not an issue. I like the purple background and the darker letters.. Only one comment the type could be a bit bigger.
I absolutely love the look. I think it is perfect. You do so much for OV, Michael. I really appreciate all you do. Thank you for all your time and effort.
Hi Michael. Such a task!!! With that said I think that presentation and creativity is huge. I think most of us like the stars and I in particular like the black background because it makes everything "pop". We had purple in the past. However it's important for people to be able to read as well. Wouldn't it be nice if members had an option to increase the size of the text. Because if the text for some is large enough over the stars, then there is no competition between the stars and the text. Does that make sense? As well, the spiritual presentation and vibration being offered IS everything!! Balance is what we seek. Rather than trying to please everyone, let's direct our thoughts and feelings toward BALANCE, and then allow!! Then the contentment and happiness will flow. And Thank you for your determination and energy you give. Lin
I like what you are doing , and you can't please all of us all of the time.
Love the back ground colour.
I am going to say that my wife who can see only out of one eye, is very pleased with this change.It is not strainful for her to read the posts. So that should say a lot for the rest of us as far as being easy on the eye is concerned.
I can't STAND solid white backgrounds either! - They depress me NO END. The visual effect of being drenched in white and having everything appear as something DARKER is just sickening to me. So you won't have to fear that happening here! There's no way we are going to let this site plummett to the level of FarceBook :-)

Targeting STAT1 in the Treatment of Breast Cancer
Study Section:
Scientific Abstract:
Given the limited progress that has been made in treating advanced breast cancer with non-specific cytotoxic drugs, it is clear that more rational strategies will be required. The next generation of treatments for patients with this disease will likely be centered on targeted therapies based on an enhanced understanding of the molecular abnormalities in breast cancer cells. Recently it has been found that the transcription factor STAT1 plays an important role in suppressing the malignant behavior of tumor cells, and in mediating the apoptotic response to cytotoxic chemotherapy. Furthermore, we have found that amplification of the transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase Her2 (ErbB2), which leads to a more aggressive behavior of tumors, also leads to suppression of STAT1 levels. Notably, inhibitors of the signaling molecule mTOR can reverse this repression, indicating that it may be amenable to therapeutic modulation. To exploit the important role of STAT1, both as a tumor suppressor and as a mediator of the therapeutic effects of chemotherapy, we developed a high throughput screening system to isolate STAT1 enhancers. Using this approach, we have identified 2-(1,8-Naphthyridin 2-yl)phenol (2-NP) as a potent and specific enhancer of STAT1 function. Building on this preliminary work, we now propose to elucidate the mechanism by which STAT1 functions in breast cancer biology, and to critically test the hypothesis that enhancing STAT1 function will accentuate the killing of breast cancer cells for therapeutic purposes. To do this, we will focus on three specific aims: (1) To identify how specific target genes mediate the tumor suppressive effects of STAT1; (2) To discern the mechanism by which Her2 amplification represses STAT1 expression; and, (3) To analyze the role of 2-NP in enhancing the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to therapy. As a result of these experiments, we will have a greater insight into the role that STAT1 plays in breast cancer biology and therapy, and we will be able to develop specific therapeutic strategies that can be translated into clinical trials for patients with advanced breast cancer.
Lay Abstract:
The cornerstone of therapy for patients with advanced breast cancer is the use of drugs that kill cells in an indiscriminate manner. As a result, these agents are fairly toxic, and provide meaningful benefit to a minority of breast cancer patients. A new generation of anti-cancer agents can be developed by focusing on particular molecular pathways operating in breast cancer cells, and exploiting these in a targeted fashion. It has been found that a cellular protein called STAT1 is an important internal control on the aggressive behavior of cells, and also is involved in mediating the killing of breast cancer cells following chemotherapy. In addition, we have found that STAT1 levels are suppressed in a highly malignant form of breast cancer, in which a particular protein called Her2 is expressed in excess. We have also uncovered strategies by which this suppression can be reversed, and we have identified a drug that can enhance the activity of STAT1 in breast cancer cells. Based on these findings, we now propose to critically determine the role that STAT1 plays in breast cancer biology and to delineate how the drugs we have identified can be used to accentuate the specific killing of breast cancer cells. As a result of this work, we will not only enhance our understanding of a fundamental aspect of the biology of breast cancer cells, but we will also develop specific strategies by which this new targeted molecular approach can be used to improve the treatment of women with this disease.

Clifford Chance cut 12 per cent of employees during 2009-10, LLPs confirm
Readers' comments (6)
The number of Clifford Chance employees who lost their jobs was actually significantly higher than the headline figure suggests, as there were still significant numbers of new staff recruited during the period.
Numer of employees feel...revenue fell...profits available increased.....Wow! Such an amazing management! It is clear that CC is walking on the sunset boulevard...
Turnover fell 5% and (at least) 12% of employees lost their jobs.
Not only did the partners not allow a drop in their profits to protect their employees' jobs, they actually reduced staff numbers so much as to increase total profits despite the turnover fall.
The only word to describe that is DESPICABLE. Such behavious should be illegal.
"Why Richard, it profits a man nothing to give his soul for the whole world. But for Wales?"
It seems that partners at City law firms are happy with receiving far less in return.
Law firms will always screw their staff.
It's always been that way. Partners are in it for the money.
An assistant solicitor's job is only as good as the money it brings in.
Solicitors have always been, and will always be, highly expendable.
Why do people act so surprised when partners shed staff.
Not every firm shares the ethos of a magic circle firm.
What I find strange, is that while people, in large part for this sort of reason, choose not to apply to the bigger and more self-interested firms, others often see that as a lack of short and long-term ambition. Quite ironic don't you think?
