I just thought, we should have a CSR fan poll to see who we believe the Panthers should draft in the 1st round tonight. Please note that it's the player you feel that the Panthers SHOULD draft, not who you believe the Panthers WILL draft, I want to make a seperate post for that. Everyone usually loves the player once the pick is made, so I thought it would be interesting to see how popular the pick was before the pick was made.
I've tried to include most of the possible #9 picks, but also inluded and option (Other) for any player not on the list, and you can then post that players name in the comments.

Three and Out - Good news for the FCS?
- Details
- by Zach Barnett 1 year ago
1. If you're a frequent reader to this site, you know the Scoop is a sympathizer to the FCS in the Big Ten's desire to unilaterally banish all non-FBS programs from its schedule. It won't make up for the loss of paydays from trips to the Big House, the Horseshoe and Happy Valley, but Jason Belzer reported Thursday that ESPN is exploring the possibility of creating a 10-team FCS Football Challenge that would be a replica of the Worldwide Leader's Bracketbusters event during college basketball season. The FCS Football Challenge would reportedly take place the weekend before Labor Day, a crucial spot of TV real estate when the public is dying of pigskin starvation. A game between, say, Eastern Washington and North Dakota State in a time slot with no meaningful competition would be huge for a group of schools that could use the help.
2. Conference realignment has not at all been good for non-conference rivalries. The casualty list currently stands at Texas-Texas A&M, Kansas-Missouri, Oklahoma-Nebraska, BYU-Utah, Pittsburgh-West Virginia, Michigan-Notre Dame to name a few. It's certainly not on the level of the aforementioned rivalries, but David Borges of the New Haven (Conn.) Register reports that Boston College and Connecticut could be on the way to playing again. The pair has only met a dozen times on the gridiron (none since 2004), and it's always been more of a basketball rivarly, but it's a series that both fan bases would find interesting. We need more of that in college football. Now about those other rivalries....
3. If you're looking for a sleeper team this fall, take a peek at Rice. According to Phil Steele, the Owls return 85 percent of their lettermen (the most in FBS), 84 percent of their total yardage (24th most in FBS), and nearly 89 percent of their total tackles (third most in FBS) from a 2012 team that won its final five games to close the season. Only UTSA (85 percent/91 percent/89 percent) and Texas (82 percent/92 percent/83 percent) boast similar figures.

We need to ALL go down to the Big A and perform mystical voodoo chants/spells/incantations.
We also need to perform a good old fashioned exorcism. This could also include wings & beer after just to maintain the spirit of comradery-not to mention the HUGE appetite & thirst this will work up. The amount of evil spirits looming is stratospheric....I am also picturing Mr Stay-Puft.

History made in Corringham homes debate
Updated 11:22pm Wednesday 22nd January 2014 in News
A GROUP of campaigners from Corringham made history tonight when a petition signed by more than 1,500 people was debated in a full Thurrock Council meeting for the first time.
Members of the Save Corringham Greenbelt packed the public gallery in the chamber as councillors discussed, and largely backed, the petition against proposals to build 800 homes in the town.
The proposals are the second time in the last six years developers Iceni Projects and Cogent Land LLP have wanted to build the homes on the site north east of Corringham, which runs alongside Lampits Hill.
The same campaign group successfully defeated a previous application.
Resident and campaigner Mr Sandu addressed members of the council, and said the proposals are laughable and show no knowledge of the local area.
He added: "We want the council to object these proposals because it's green belt land. It should be objected because infrastructure won't be able to cope, and it will mean overcrowding in the community."
Councillor Rob Gledhill congratulated the group for putting together a petition that could be discussed in the chamber, and backed their campaign.
He said: "We need to send a message to developers that Thurrock is open for business but we won't give up our precious green belt."
Council leader John Kent was equally supportive of the group, and said developers have put no special circumstances forward as to why this part of green belt should be built on.
He said: "This is a development that shouldn't be allowed and not be given the go ahead."
The petition will now be referred to the planning committee to be considered in a future decision over the planning application.
For more see next weeks, January 30, Gazette.

Ed Woods says...
Is this the same Cllr Rob Gledhill that voted for 15% of new houses (2775 homes) to be built on Thurrocks Green Belt?
Is this the same Cllr Rob Gledhill that also voted for an additional 4750 dwellings above the 18500 already agreed to be built in Thurrock – so although the Local Development Framework plan identifies where 18500 homes go – it also prepares the way for an additional 4750 homes to be built – so at least 23250 homes will be built over the next 13 years.
As for defending the Green Belt the Conservatives voted for it to be Thurrock Council policy to "continue to identify further sites within the Green Belt to allocate for residential development" and for "building to continue on the Green Belt where appropriate."
I haven't plucked the above information from thin air or made it up – it's in the Local Development Framework document that Conservative and Labour Councillors voted for.
There is nothing like the stench of a hypocritical politician

We are into September and the football season is underway, which means many injuries will begin to pop up in young athletes.
Dr. Larry Benson is on the case of the "stinger" or "burner," a common football injury.
It usually happens during a tackle. It is scary because it feels like your arm is being pinched by "pins and needles." Many times the symptoms go away after a few minutes.
One way to prevent this injury is to make sure your neck muscles are strong. The most important prevention exercise is using the proper tackling technique.
If symptoms last longer than one hour, athletes should follow up with a physician.

NC-Based Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue Deploys Next Generation Wireless Network
- At January 28, 2008
- By admin
- In EMS / First Responders
In Motion Technology Improves Emergency Communications, Response Times, and Coordination among First Responders
High Point, North Carolina, January 28, 2008 – In Motion Technology, a leader in wireless mobile communications systems for public safety organizations, today announced that Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue, headquartered in High Point, North Carolina, has deployed In Motion's onBoard ™ Mobile Gateway to improve emergency operations and coordination with other first responders.
The onBoard Mobile Gateway is installed in emergency vehicles to create a "vehicle area network." This network integrates all data communications, including medical devices, patient care records, GPS, driver and safety monitoring and dispatch systems. It allows the seamless transmission of information between these systems in the field and operations command.
When a Gateway-equipped ambulance arrives at a hospital, it has taken the fastest, satellite-guided route, has wirelessly transmitted patient information to the ER in advance, and has printed patient care record on-board the vehicle – all of which provides critical data to emergency personnel at the speed necessary to save lives.
Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue is a franchise of Guilford County EMS, which also has deployed In Motion's onBoardTM Mobile Gateway in county-operated emergency vehicles. Because the Gateway has been deployed throughout the area, emergency dispatchers now have an unparalleled ability to identify the closest emergency vehicle to an incident scene, regardless of whether it is operated by Guilford County or by Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue.
Since 1971, Piedmont Triad has provided Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Life Support (ALS), rescue service, convalescent and wheelchair transport services, and "stand-by" service for special events in the Piedmont Triad area. Its mission is "to provide the best possible care for patients by providing the best equipment and training for our personnel."
"The Gateway, working with our other systems, enables our drivers to get out of the station and to the scene faster," said Paula Lineberry, Chief of Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue. "It also enables dispatchers to track the location of each vehicle at all times. This has resulted in a more efficient use of our assets, lower fuel consumption, faster response times, and better patient care for the residents of central North Carolina."
The onBoard Mobile Gateway is deployed in more than 90 communities nationwide, and provides emergency vehicles with mobile, secure, wireless communications. The Gateway senses and selects the best available wireless network, enabling first responders to access and disseminate critical information from the field.
"First responder organizations like Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue are experiencing improved response times and operations by deploying this technology," said In Motion Technology CEO Kirk Moir. "Their choice of In Motion Technology for vehicle communications will improve emergency communications, operations and life-saving patient care."
About Piedmont Triad Ambulance and Rescue
Piedmont Triad Ambulance was founded in 1971, and is a private, non-profit organization providing emergency response, convalescent and wheelchair transport and other services to the residents of Guilford, Davidson and Randolph Counties. It is one of the largest rescue squads in North Carolina. It has more than 70 professionals 25 volunteers, and more than 16 advanced life support ambulances and other emergency vehicles.

Derek Twigg hardly ever rebelled against their party in this parliament
May I raise again the issue of Christians in Iraq? I do not think the Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the right hon. Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), answered the previous question in any detail. What are the Government doing in the international community and the UN and with the Iraqi Government to bring attention to the plight of Christians in Iraq, given the terrible...
Does the Secretary of State think that standards could be improved further by having minimum levels of staffing in care homes, and does he think that more can and should be done to improve pay and rewards for care workers?
The Secretary of State will be aware of recent reports that areas such as Sangin, Now Zad and Musa Qala have fallen into the hands of the Taliban or the insurgents. Are those reports correct?

A Yelm couple from Romania is being held at a federal detention center while the Romanian government seeks their extradition based on criminal charges that they evaded $72 million in taxes there.
According to court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Tacoma, the Romanian government has accused Radu Nemes and his wife, Diana Nemes, of importing diesel fuel and then avoiding paying the taxes that would normally be assessed for it by falsely documenting it as lesser-grade fuel.
The Nemeses are charged criminally with tax evasion in Romania, court papers state.
The complaint filed in federal court alleges that the Nemeses used "various shell companies they controlled to launder the proceeds of this tax evasion scheme."
Between May 2011 and July 2012, the Nemeses allegedly sold approximately 990,000 tons of diesel fuel that was falsely reported to the Romanian government as lower-grade fuel, the complaint states.
Federal agents served search warrants at the Nemeses' property in the 16000 block of Vail Road, SE, in Yelm, where the couple was constructing "a massive log home" and found "a fully equipped and furnished underground bunker." Authorities also seized nine firearms while executing a search warrant at the couple's property in the 16000 block of Deer Ridge Lane in Yelm.
The couple was arrested at their Deer Ridge Lane home on March 18.
The Nemeses have been ordered held in federal detention pending the resolution of their extradition matter. The Nemeses' attorney, Martha Boersch, had argued in court papers that Diana Nemes has special circumstances that should allow her release from custody on bail, namely that she is not a flight risk, and she is five month pregnant. Boersch's motion for Diana Nemes' release on bail also states that there is not sufficient evidence in the Romanian government's complaint to suggest that she committed a criminal offense.
The couple has two small boys who live in Yelm, according to Boersch's court filing. Boersch could not be reached for comment Thursday.
Oral argument in the Nemes' extradition hearing is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. on May 22 in U.S. District Court in Tacoma.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
From the look of how people are taking to my post discussing how Persona 3's battle system came into being, there's an audience interested in hearing about the thought processes that went into the development of Persona 3. Today I'll be diving into another blog entry posted by director Katsura Hashino, this time talking about a tool the team used to help plan out the pacing of Social Links in Persona 3 and other things influenced by the in-game calendar. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been previously translated, although I know I have other Atlus-centric translators following me, so apologies if I'm stepping onto your territory accidentally! And make sure to click on the images to expand them if you're reading this in your main feed! -Pepsi
Creator Works: December 20, 2007, Katsura Hashino, Volume 24
Hi there, it's Hashino again, the director of Persona 3.
I've been really busy lately, so this blog ended up being neglected for a while. I know I have a handful of fans who enjoy these development diaries and eagerly await new updates, so if that's you, I apologize. I've been hard at work on my next project and I really want to this make this one an enjoyable game more than ever before, so I hope you can forgive me for my recent silence.
Anyway, this marks the fifth entry on my series about difficulties in developing game systems, which intends to cover everything from battles to dungeons to events and various other sorts of mechanics along those lines.
Previously, I've written about how we've gone about producing battle systems and enemy encounters at great length, but this time I'm going to turn our attention Persona 3's Social Link and event progression systems. I'm pretty sure it goes without saying, but I imagine that coming from previous games we've made, the daily calendar and Social Link systems represent some of the most drastic gameplay changes we've ever implemented, no?
The genesis for these systems came from our desire to see if we could replicate through gameplay the sensation of having a day-to-day life, one that includes actual weekdays and weekends. The sense of fun you get over the course of a single week can change depending on what sorts of plans you make and how your goals are coming along. We figured that if players could get a taste of that sort of sensation through a game that we'd be on to something enjoyable and that's how the calendar system came to be. (It's worth pointing out that we actually originally set out to let you play through all three years of high school!* But we realized that we'd be asking a lot of the players to go through that much time, so we pared it down to a little less than a year. ^^;)
In Persona 3, you go to school during the day and make friends there. Then during the evenings, you work on Social Links and at night you head out to Tartarus. Getting the feel for that sort of gameplay loop and imagining how it'll play out in your mind is tough, though, especially since the calendar has you committing to play the game for a long stretch of time and includes weekdays in your schedule. What's more, once the data is supposed to be locked in towards the end of development, you can't exactly easily backtrack on anything without there being serious repercussions. So in order to avoid that scenario, we decided to make a calendar simulator internally that we could use on our PCs in an effort to grasp how the gameplay flow would feel. (This sort of practice is par for the course for every game we make before production fully commences. When we were working on Shin Megami Tensei III, for instance, we made simulators for demon growth and fusion in order to grasp how the game was going to turn out since, unlike previous entries, it allows you to level up your demons through battle. That program, though, just displays a lot of numbers, whereas the program we developed for Persona 3 also features a lot of text. Things like that are what go into the programs we use behind the scenes during game development and knowing that, I feel like now is a good jumping off point to introduce you to the actual program.) [Translator's note: Jump to the bottom of this entry for a brief breakdown of what the different parts of the window are.]
↑We're so old school, if that's the right term for it, that we even have a name entry field in this program. You can trigger stuff like the calendar and schedule listings and dictate your day to day actions, including on weekdays and days off, through commands within the program.
↑You can also join clubs and trigger Social Links within the simulator. Here, you can have up to five different Social Links going on at once.
↑It's pretty primitive, but you can take on things akin to dungeon quests as well. In the final version we sent out to retail, these quests turned into ones doled out by Elizabeth.
↑Visiting the fusion facility lets you simulate Persona fusions, too. The contents of what you see here are tentative and were used for testing purposes.
It takes about two weeks and a handful of people to produce this sort of tool.
By conducting this sort of testing, we were able to determine things like the timing for schedule hints, when to trigger Social Links, and also which stretches of time were ultimately unnecessary. If we didn't come up with this sort of arrangement ahead of time, we probably would have run into a lot of problems towards the end of the game's development and wound up delaying the release date. (Argh!)
As a bit of a side note, one of the most unusual things I heard about from the staff when gathering their thoughts about this simulator was… well, how fun it suddenly was once a character became your lover! Even with no visuals to go along with the Social Link and nothing but dialog boxes to work off of, somehow that allure you feel around the opposite sex as a young adult like in the game still somehow came through! (Haha)
As a result of all that, this simulator was indispensable to us as we were working on the feel of the calendar system and it somehow made Social Links with the girls in the game even more satisfying than we originally envisioned. (Haha)
How's that for today's story?
Next time, look forward to more stories from behind the scenes of game development.
Until then!

2008 US Presidential Elections, who will get your vote?
First off I'd like to say that voting with your dollar is just as important, if not more important, than voting at the poll. Spend your money with purpose and keep it out of the hands of unconscious products and corporations. Obviously eating a diet rich in raw foods is a great way to begin on that path. Not only are you investing in your health and reducing waste, but you are also supporting the green and organic movement.
That being said, I'm really interested to hear from WLIR readers to see 1) if you will be voting this election season and 2) who will be getting your vote.
This year's election season has generated such a vast amount of interest. So many people who were never interested in politics are now paying attention, especially youth. A lot of that probably has to do with the fact that most Americans, and our allies overseas, feel that the current administration is on crack.
I've met a lot of people over the last year who feel that it doesn't matter which premier candidate wins. I'm not going to lie, sometimes I feel like that too. However, that's not going to stop me from voting.
I'd also like to add that I don't expect any political candidate to be able to "save the world". I know that true transformation will come, and is coming, from people like us. People that are making conscious choices everyday to rise above unconscious influences. I'd prefer a leader who supports this grass roots transformation, but if I get one who doesn't I'm not too worried. My gut tells me that the force is so strong that it won't be stopped.
What about you? I would love for you to hit up the attached poll and share any additional thoughts you have in the comments.

Body discovered in Asheville, N.C. recycling plant

Police say preliminary autopsy results show a man found dead by workers sorting trash at a recycling plant near Asheville died an accidental death.
Authorities said they used fingerprints to identify 50-year-old Calvin Fox.
Fox's body was mixed in cardboard and workers separating the material found him Friday morning. Trucks from several different counties bring recycling to the plant daily.
Police didn't give additional details on what might have killed Fox or why he was mixed in with cardboard.
The recycling plant gave some workers shaken up by finding the body the day off.

text: (AP) The lack of a waiting list for patients at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Peoria put it on a list of VA locations in need of further review. But local officials say the clinic doesn't have patients waiting long enough to need the electronic waiting list the VA uses. It is designed to track patients whose waits exceed 90 days. Dr. Dexter Hazlewood is the clinic's chief medical officer. He said the clinic is able to see almost all of its primary care patients within seven days. Democratic U.S. Rep. Cheri Bustos said during a recent visit that none of the patients she spoke with had complaints about their care.

Last July, White Sox starter Jake Peavy had to have surgery to re-attach a torn lat muscle that had detached from where it was supposed to be in his shoulder. It was a radical operation, but it worked, and just Wednesday Peavy made his return to the White Sox rotation, even after experiencing some problems during the spring. Facing the Angels, he threw six innings, allowing four runs while striking out four and not walking anybody.
But while Peavy's back - and while that's exciting enough - he's not yet back to being himself. Writes Daryl Van Schouwen:
To recover fully from surgery to re-attach a torn lat muscle, doctors told him to be patient -- it will take 12-18 months.
"I'm about 80 percent of what I was when I was in San Diego,'' said Peavy, who won a Cy Young Award with the Padres in 2007.
The bad news is that Peavy isn't pitching at 100%, even after all this time. The good news, though, is that he should in theory only get stronger as the season progresses and he puts more distance between himself and his operation. Where most pitchers tend to wear down over the course of the summer, Peavy may get better, and if all goes according to plan he could be setting himself up for a big 2012.

SALISBURY — Two more versions of an angry verbal exchange between police officer Mark Thomas and Building Inspector David Lovering have surfaced, giving another perspective that is less inflammatory than a recently released police report.
Thomas and Lovering got into a verbal altercation on June 6 in which Thomas reported that Lovering was confrontational, using angry language and gestures when Thomas refused to enter and check an uninhabited Pike Street residence, as Lovering had requested. Thomas' report details an expletive-laden, intense verbal argument with Lovering, which Thomas described as borderline criminal disorderly conduct. Although no charges were lodged against Lovering, Thomas' report indicates he repeatedly yelled and swore at the officer to such an extent it drew the attention of passers-by.
But two other written reports exist, one by Lovering, and the other by firefighter Ken Troffater, who was the third party at the scene. Both indicate a disagreement, but without the extreme volatility present in Thomas' report, and without Lovering's repeated cursing.
Trofatter is the one who originally received a report of the "possibly unsafe condition" of a Pike Street home, according to his report. He called Lovering about it, and picked up the building inspector in his Fire Department cruiser so they could investigate the home together. Thomas was later called to the home as well.
Although Thomas' report records anger and confrontation, as well as Lovering using foul language, the other two reports are less incendiary, and record little use of expletives.
Town Manager Neil Harrington read each of the three reports, and spoke with Trofatter and Lovering, but not Thomas, who discussed the situation with police Chief Tom Fowler. Fowler told Harrington Thomas stands by his report.
After his investigation, Harrington believes Trofatter's report is "pretty much right down the middle." Harrington said he asked Lovering about swearing, which Lovering denied, and which Trofatter doesn't include much of in his report.

GMC reveals Olympic doctors numbers
12:08am Thursday 19th July 2012 in National News © Press Association 2014
Some Olympic and Paralympic teams are not bringing any doctors to treat their athletes should anything go wrong during the Games.
Doctors from 141 nations out of a possible 203 have registered to practise in the UK during the competition, figures from the General Medical Council (GMC) suggest.
The GMC, which oversees all doctor registrations, said that 849 foreign doctors had applied for temporary registrations, and it was processing a further 29 applications.
The French team has registered 58 doctors, the highest number for any country, to support their 333 athletes.
Brazil has registered 50 doctors for 259 athletes, and the United States have registered 46 doctors for 530 athletes.
Eighteen doctors will be supporting Team GB's 542 sports men and women. Some countries such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Nepal, Zambia and Honduras have registered one doctor each.
The doctors are registered temporarily and can only treat non-UK nationals for the duration of the Games.
The GMC has rejected 40 applications, including one by Mexico for a vet and another by Venezuela for a masseuse - neither of which need to be registered with the GMC.
GMC chief executive Niall Dickson said: "Doctors play a vital role at all levels in all sports and of course at the highest level their contribution is critical.
"London 2012 is a great national occasion and we are proud to have played our small part by enabling overseas doctors to come here and support their Olympic athletes during the Games."

From Russia with Love- Elena Sommers
On April 18 the College of Liberal Arts will host a symposium -From Russia with Love: Literature, Music, Art, Film, organized by Elena Sommers, a Global & Russian Literature professor.
"The event seeks to support RIT's commitment to international education and a culture of global inclusiveness and awareness," said Sommers. "I hope the symposium fosters interdisciplinary connections, facilitates new discussions and contributes to the RIT spirit of intellectual community."
When asked about the idea behind the symposium, Sommers credits Hillary Clinton with an early inspiration. While Secretary of State, Clinton presented the Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a mock "reset" button designed to signify the United States' willingness to improve relations with Moscow. Instead of translating "reset" correctly as perezagruzka , the American translation read peregruzka, which means "overload."
"I interpreted this moment in the Post-Soviet era of international relations as symbolic of how little the two countries know and understand about each other. More importantly, this 'linguistic' episode was a window into how little attention we assign to the nuances of language and culture –an important skill for every professional to develop and master. If our students hope to be competitive and successful in the global marketplace, they need to be given skills to develop this important sense of cultural awareness," said Sommers.
Sommers hopes that RIT study abroad initiatives will include Russia, a country with a growing economy and enormous demand in precisely the kind of specialists RIT nurtures.
"Russia is investing significant financial resources in creating its own Silicon Valley and openly acknowledges its need for foreign educated specialist in the field of cutting edge technologies," said Sommers."While the knowledge of Russian is not required, what is essential is awareness and understanding of cultural norms and traditions, those subtle elements of culture the knowledge of which is invaluable in creating partnerships and securing long -term professional/business relationships."
Sommers sees initiatives such as From Russia with Love as an opportunity for RIT community to participate in conversations on global issues.
"The College of Liberal Arts is uniquely positioned to be at the forefront of the global education initiative as we have the most diverse faculty in the University, offering a rich array of courses with an international focus," said Sommers.
"I want to extend a special thank you to Dean Winebrake for his most enthusiastic support of the symposium. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work with my colleagues from across the College in the field of art, philosophy, music, film, and poetry who shaped and enriched the event with their creativity and expertise."
"I also want to thank Nick Paulus and Erica MacArthur, the creative team at the RIT Scholarly Publishing studio, who worked with me on the symposium publicity materials and From Russia with Love On-Line Journal."
The first issue with Symposium Proceedings will come out this summer.
The Symposium talks will address topics such as: "Comics, Social Activism, and Russian Youth." "Tolstoy's Jesus versus Dostoevsky's Christ: A tale of Two Christologies." "Dostoevsky and Nietzsche" "Red, White, and Blue: Jazz in Russia from 1920 to the present." "Public Awareness Advertising and Russia's 'Boost the Birthrate' Campaign." "Global Nabokov"
In the afternoon RIT students will lead a Nabokov panel: "Author, Narrator, Reader: Love and Morality in Lolita."
Award-winning author Maxim D. Shrayer will read from Waiting for America, the first English-language book to explore the experience of Soviet Jews waiting, in transit, to enter the New World.
Sommers hopes to continue the message and lessons of From Russia with Love in the coming year.
"I plan to organize an international film symposium –"The Globe Goes to the Movies!" I hope to work with my colleagues at the School of Film and Animation and across the institute to bring to RIT film directors who can share their vision and tell their stories," said Sommers. "This can be an exciting event for RIT and Rochester community as a whole."
The symposium acknowledges the generous support of the College of Liberal Arts, the COLA Honors program, M&T Bank and the Department of English.

Award-winning journalist and HIV/AIDS activist to speak at UF
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Regan Hofmann, whose memoir about being HIV positive was published in 2009, will speak at 7 p.m. Sept. 12 in the Reitz Student Union Grand Ballroom.
Hofmann will give an open account of being HIV positive as one of the disease's least likely subjects: a young, straight woman.
"I had no thought that I was at risk," she said. "I had been careful all my life, I thought. I was really devastated."
As one of the nation's leading AIDS activists, Hofmann travels internationally on behalf of the U.S. Department of State to speak about the disease; has served as a U.S. delegate under both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama at the United Nations' Special Session on HIV/AIDS; and was appointed to the HIV/AIDS advisory committee for the Center for Disease Control in 2009.
Hofmann is a board member of The Foundation for AIDS Research and a global ambassador for the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. She spends time on Capitol Hill defending domestic and global funding for HIV/AIDS.
She is a leader in the movement to elevate the conversation around HIV/AIDS, focusing on the possibility of an AIDS-free generation. She believes that educating people about prevention is the first step in the right direction.
"We can teach people to avoid it," Hofmann said. "It's not that hard to avoid, we just have to have the courage to talk about it."
For more about Regan Hofmann and her work visit http://www.reganhofmann.com/.
The event is free and open to the public and will be streamed live at http://www.bobgrahamcenter.ufl.edu/
The program is part of the Common Reading Program and is being co-sponsored by the Bob Graham Center, Dean of Students Office, Pride Student Union and Intercultural Engagement.

Orsillo to TBS?
In the article posted by Nick Cafardo, (good read) he talks about the Posey incident, the Masterson (and other deals) a year later, as well as this tidbit on page 4. 4. Industry sources indicate that TBS is making a strong run at tying up NESN's Don Orsillo to a long-term deal This upsets me.

News: Shyne On Bonding W/ Diddy, "I Haven't Seen The Dude In Probably 12 Years"
Monday, May 14, 2012 5:40PM
Former Bad Boy Records artist Shyne recently talked about reuniting with ex-boss Diddy and why he is most focused on looking beyond feuds these days.
Asked about bonding with Diddy in Paris a few months ago, Shyne said the event was deeper than music.
"Nah, that was a man moment. When men get together, it's not about no music, it's not about none of that," he said. "Men sit down and talk about men things. Music didn't come up. I haven't seen the dude in probably 12 years, and 10 of those years were in prison. We had so much to talk about other than music. But you never know. I feel life is about forward movement, and when you're holding on to things, you really can't move. And I try to keep it pushing. That's what that meeting was about. Nobody's perfect and if a man talks to you as a man and as a brother and says to you, "listen, I did this, I did that," and really man up, what could you do?" (Huffington Post)
In April, he explained his inability to maintain a never-ending tension toward the Bad Boy Records CEO.
"If I couldn't thank him for my fortunes, how could I blame him for my misfortunes? I can't thank God in one breath and blame Diddy in another breath. I can't work like that. This is a watershed moment, man, because I was one of those kids -- the only code I have is honor. I did what I was supposed to do, I didn't lie on another man to get myself out of trouble, I didn't talk about what another man did or didn't do to get myself out of trouble and that was the most important thing to me. And I was rewarded for that. I survived being incarcerated. I've been extremely fortunate, why, because I didn't sit down and blame anybody. ... I sat down and I held myself responsible." (Belize 7 News)
A month prior, the rapper opened up on meeting Diddy face-to-face at Paris Fashion Week in France.
"You can't overstate the cultural significance of what Shyne and Diddy reconciling means," Shyne wrote. "You know I'm about it when it comes to them hammers, thus unfortunately this could have ended like Tupac and B.I.G. But what if Tupac and B.I.G ended like this and reconciled? Let's celebrate this moment as a historical event and a victory for hip-hop and Afro and Latin American men trained to exterminate each other. It's a new day! L'chaim!!!" (XXL Mag)
Recently, Bad Boy Records' Cassie talked about meeting Shyne for the first time while in Paris.
"He is one of the nicest people, just like Rick Ross, and down-to-earth," Cassie said when asked about meeting Shyne during Paris Fashion Week. "I like when people have very little words when they speak. When they say something, it means something. They're not just talking to hear themselves talk." (BBC Radio 1Xtra)

What are the luggage restrictions?
Tanzania local flights operate small aircraft with capacities that vary from 5 seats to 19 seats, occasionally we send more that one aircraft depending on the load of the flight.
What about large passengers?
Because of the nature of aircraft flights limit baggage allowance to 15kgs per passengers, we also recommend soft bags, large suitcase take up a lot of space i the cargo bay and your bag may be left behind. If you have large bulky or long articles such as surf boards, golf bags, fishing rods, diving equipment, bicycles etc we may not be able to accommodate these items on certain flights or aircraft, we would not like to tell you this at the check-in counter, however if we know earlier or at the time of booking we can advise you.
Do Tanzania local internal flights guarantee my onwards international or other airline connection?
We will make every effort to leave on time, but this is not guarantee nor do we take responsibility for the missed connection. There are many factors that can relate to a missed connection such as operational delays, airport congestion, VIP movement, weather, aircraft snags (safety comes first). For your consolation we have never had passengers miss their international connection.
Will flights wait if my inter-national or other airline flight is delayed?
It is not normal of any airline to wait for passengers arriving on other delayed carriers however time permitting sometimes we will, within a reasonable time. Remember if we delay a flight for you, this could delay all our other flights and hundreds of other passengers. We recommend that you take a visa from your country to avoid queues at the visa counters. We ask you to choose flights with safe connecting times.
What are the reporting times?
We would like you to be there 1 hour before the flight, groups are requested to be there at least 1.5 hrs before. The counter will close 15 mins pr

The Texans hired Bobby King as a defensive assistant, the team announced on Friday.

Rumors over the last couple of days have implied that Thompson could be had if the right deal were to come along. I point you to this article in the Sacramento Bee. http://www.sacbee.com/2010/11/16/3188284/kings-notes-thompson-blocks-out.html
While the Kings are mum on the situation, one cannot deny the fact that Thompson is being under-used at roughly 16 minutes a game. Yet over the last two seasons when given starters minutes Thompson has proven to be a quality big man with skill. Aside from stats, I will be honest and say that I know very little about Thompson. The Kings are rarely on television and I have very little interest in their rebuilding years. So with that being said, I'd like to ask some of the other contributors of this site if Jason Thompson could be a viable trade target for the Nuggets? His production, coupled with his rookie contract makes him quite valuable in my opinion, especially if we're trying to stay young (i.e. build around Afflalo, Lawson and hopefully Melo). He could replace K-Mart after this season for instance. The question is, do we have anyone that we want to give up that Sacramento would take. Afflalo is killing it this season, so I really don't want to trade him. I also feel that Ty should be off-limits. Balkman? I don't know why they'd want him, unless they're looking for a scrappy player. JR Smith? That's also problematic due to the fact that they have Evans and Francisco Garcia. It seems somewhat redundant to put JR on that team. And that's as far as I've gotten. Any ideas? Is this even worth exploring or is Thompson not a good fit for this team?

What Makes Obama Run?
How does Obama's image measure against his policies?
April 30 – US President Barack Obama "may be opening the door to hope," says Pepe Escobar, Real News Analyst, but it may be possible that "Obama the man might be more exciting than his policies." While recognizing that judging only 100 days of Obama's presidency may be premature, Escobar points out that President Obama seems to have "little to no real, meaningful intellectual opposition" within the US government.
The only connection between President Obama's playful image in the media and the conservative nature of his policies appear to be the eloquent rhetoric in which he delivers both. "The problem is Obama the man may be much more exciting then Obama's policies," Escobar says. "He's still on the campaign trail. But a man of action will only match the man of vision—drenched in charisma, of course, especially to US workers, which are battered and internally divided at the moment—to the extent that he becomes Obama The Fixer."
Escobar says that specific aspects of American policy supported under the Bush administration persist under President Obama, such as the blockade of Cuba and the United States's reluctance to condemn Israel's attacks against Gaza civilians.
"So there's been no accountability, there's been no catharsis for, in Obama's own words, the mess we all face. Yes, after the baby emperor, the Obama shuffle is like Michael Jackson's moonwalk. Obama rules over the news cycle, and he talks a great game. But the old order, the industrial-military complex, the financial institutions big pharma remains extremely powerful," Escobar says.

The Farmer's Faire event has been activated on the servers and will run until September 18th according to the LOTRO Calendar.
Farmer's Faire consists of fishing, eating, shopping, mushroom & egg hunts!
I will not be able to check out the new festival until later tonight to see what has changed and what new offerings are found for a guide but feel free to look at last year's guide for an idea of what to expect.
One change I expect to find is the Mushroom and Egg hunts no longer take festival tickets and now require mithril coins to repeat. This has been a consistent change across the festival quests.
Also we should be finding Bounder's Bounty Tokens from this event!
I'll check things out tonight and get a revised guide up as quickly as possible!
