A small group of residents and family members of the teen who was killed in a police involved shooting in Atlantic City marched to the Mayor's house Thursday night, asking for an apology.
Mayor Lorenzo Langford returned to his home to find a small group of family and friends of Derreck Mack, including his mother, in front of his home with police officers present. The group was asking for him to apologize on behalf of the police department, but Langford said he is in no position to do so, as the incident remains under investigation by outside authorities.
A witness on the scene of the shooting says Mack was armed and about to draw a gun at the time of the shooting. Other witnesses say he was surrendering.
The Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office and the Attorney General are investigating the shooting.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

The Largest Trees on Earth - California's Disappearing Redwoods
When gold was discovered in north-western California in 1850, thousands crowded the remote redwood region in search of riches and new lives. Failing in efforts to strike it rich in gold, these men turned toward harvesting the giant trees for booming development in San Francisco and other places on the West Coast. These trees are the tallest and one of the most massive tree species on Earth. The size of the huge trees made them prized timber, as redwood became known for its durability and workability. By 1853, nine sawmills were at work in Eureka, a gold boom town established three years prior due to the gold boom. At that period of time, redwood forest covered more than 2,000,000 acres of the California coast.
After many decades of unobstructed clear-cut logging, serious efforts toward conservation began. In 1918, the Save-the-Redwoods League was founded to preserve remaining old-growth redwoods. By the time Redwood National Park was created in 1968, nearly 90% of the original redwood trees had been logged. Today there is only 133,000 acres of redwood forest left.

1st Round- Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State: AJ is worried about protecting Rivers this year and we need someone to replace McNeil (if he's cut). Adams will probably be the best tackle available at the #18 spot.
2nd Round- Ronnell Lewis, OLB, Oklahoma: He's played both OLB and DE at Oklahoma and contributed on special teams.
3rd Round- Amini Silatolu, OG, Midwestern State: He can add depth at guard and tackle and could compete with Vasquez or Green for a starting spot.
4th Round- Ladarius Green, TE, Lafeyette: He can learn from the best TE and will have time to develop
5th Round- Duke Ihenacho, SS, SJSU: Has played both corner and safety in college and is good in zone coverage. Good against the run and doesn't usually get beat deep.
6th Round- Devon Wylie, WR, Fresno State: A good fast WR that can help in the return game and special teams coverage.
7th Round- Oliver Vernon,OLB, Miami: Good against the run and is a good athlete with a high motor, just needs to adjust to playing OLB.

This Toadally Primal bundle that I recently purchased is thrilling the paleo cortises of my brain. In the middle of moving back to Boston and starting up a brand new semester of work, I've still managed to get sucked into new ebooks every single morning.
Today I ventured into the lovely Tracy McCullough's book Ultimate Secrets to Acne Freedom. Tracy's pathway to the paleo diet and holistic healing came through her acne. Devastated–much as I was–by the cystic sores that refused to go away no matter what she tried, Tracy finally worked all of it out on her own: acne is caused by our internal environments, vitamins are important, health is important, stress is important, natural salves and creams are the best for healing. These ideas may be somewhat obvious to all of us, now, but the way in which Tracy covers them was new and insightful for me.
In reading Tracy's book, I learned in addition to everything else I already know about hormones and holistic health:
-All of the factors about dairy that make it the most acne causing food
-How I can eat dairy safely even as a highly-dairy-reactive woman with hormone problems
-The importance of vitamins A, D, and K working together
-The magic of cod liver oil and several other natural remedies
-The best types of substances (certain honeys, specific natural oils) for reducing inflammation and oil production
-How to properly exfoliate
-What MSM oil is and how it can eliminate acne scars
And more.
What's even better is that Tracy is a fun writer who pays great attention to the psychological aspects of acne. Reading Tracy's book, I felt as though she got me. She understands everything that acne sufferers go through, and she walks her readers through health and healing with positivity, empathy, and great insight about the psychological impacts of acne.
For that reason, Tracy has also published an ebook titled Cure Your Skin Compulsions which is a guide towards stopping picking and obsessing over your acne. Quitting picking is one of the most important factors of skin health, and Tracy might have, finally after all of the times I have read this advice, finally convinced me to quit picking at my skin.
Cure Your Skin Compulsions also walks you through a step by step process of not picking, giving you specific action steps for specific weeks, months, and turning points in your physiological and psychological journey.
For this reason, I think I love Cure Your Skin Compulsions even more than Acne Freedom.
Either way, both books would have saved my life and my soul several years ago. I've learned boatloads through my struggles, but with Tracy I am pretty sure I would have been able to avoid them.
Check out Tracy's work at her lovely blog The Love Vitamin, or get both of these books as a part of the 92 percent off deal of the Toadally Primal bundle. Remember: this bundle includes 33 ebooks that normally total 479 dollars for just 39 dollars until Monday, January 14. Tracy's books, cookbooks, Abel James's books, a handful of intros to paleo, and books on natural birth and natural pregnancy are all included. So is the first half of PCOS Unlocked!
A dangerously delightful deal.

How about acne rosacea? Where can i look for ansvers? I hate the 3 months on antibiothics every year. It messes up my health and mood every time.
Thank you for a great blog.
I read the same thing, and I have a whole mess of questions for the author! Working on writing up an email now.
I had 100% perfect skin, even as a teenager. I did not get acne until I was on paleo for a very long time, living clean, I have been off birth control for almost 8 months, I dropped my toxic chemical beauty products and yet the problem is getting worse. This is emotionally debilatating for someone who always had great skin and is used to feeling comfortable without makeup. I am on cod liver oil, have done pretty much everything i am supposed to.
How is it that on my processed food diet, smearing my face with toxic chemicals i had better skin than i do now?
Hi Michelle!
Did the acne start appearing maybe 3 to 6 months after you quit the birth control pill? If that is the case, it's a very common occurrence because quitting birth control can put your hormones through a loop, no matter what your diet is like. One of my recent articles might really help you:
And you can also gain a lot of support from the women in the comments section of this thread: http://www.thelovevitamin.com/769/can-you-wean-off-the-birth-control-pill/
Michelle, I would try to identify a possible food sensitivity. I recently developed a sensitivity to eggs out of nowhere. I too am having trouble with acne even though my diet is clean, so I'm trying to see if a particular food might be causing breakouts.
Create a healing acne masque of fresh pineapple and cucumber. Just put the two ingredients in equal parts into your blender and liquify. Spread the resulting thin paste over the entire affected area of your skin to help heal pimples and irritation. Let the mixture sit for half an hour, then rinse with warm water followed by cool water. Pat dry gently.
Does the book "Ultimate Secrets to Acne Freedom" talk about cystic acne on the chin. I break out all the time on my chin. I tried using benzoyl peroxide, but it doesn't do a thing except irritating it. I went to the my doctor, and he injected cortisol into them. Can you please post up the link to the book?

Oh joy!
For a while there I was beginning to think that I would actually have to find another hobby. Or start thinking about the upcoming season: debating the pros and cons of the 3-4 vs. 4-3 or Longshore vs. Riley. What a total waste of time!!
But no, I'm saved! Call back the lawyers, the pundits, the hippies, it's time for "The Appeal"!! It's like a sequel to an awesome movie except you don't have to wait a long time for the release. It features some new characters, plus a lot of your old favorites. And a lot of rehashed arguments!!
You can read some initial reviews on SF Gate. Yes, Carolyn is back as herself, but seems to have lost some of her punch...we'll see. You can also read UC's latest filing here. New UC attorney Paul Fogel is stunning in his debut. I've never read such an "opposition to writ of supersedeas". Let's be honest - I've never read an opposition to writ of supersedeas, but with lines like this, who can argue:
Petitioners claim or suggest that the trial court erred on certain evidentiary or procedural issues. (Petn. 10,41). Wrong.
In addition to the usual arguments, Fogel's new twist, which seems quite clever, is to argue that by delaying the SAHPC, plaintiffs are preventing the university from complying with Article IX on gender equality is college sports. Take that Becky O'Malley!
Now I haven't found a copy of the actual appeal filed by Volker and co. but from the few quotes in Fogel's piece, it sounds like a doozy! Apparently he calls the SAHPC:
A stepping stone to gridiron greatness for the University's beleagured football team.
Now they're coming after the football team too! This could get really fun!
And for those who like the original trial, Volker has filed a petition to remake. Apparently he didn't like the ending and prefers his studio cut. In this version, the other foundation reinforcements (not the grade beam) are part of the Stadium and violate A-P.
Our old friend Judge Miller will screen this version on Aug. 12. This is one day before the current stay will expire. It should be an exciting week folks!!

Blind man who fell on Harlem subway tracks gets new service dog, keeps pooch who helped save him
A blind New Yorker whose service dog helped him escape death on Manhattan subway tracks last month has a new guide pooch, but gets to keep his old companion.
Cecil Williams, 60, nearly died after falling before an oncoming train in Harlem Dec. 17 when his loyal guide dog Orlando jumped after him.
After reports that Williams would lose Orlando, close to retirement age of 11, because his insurance would only pay for a working service dog, anonymous donors pitched in.
Williams can now keep Orlando, but also has a new service dog named Godiva, a yellow labrador who recently graduated from a training program at Guiding Eyes for the Blind.
"I feel that I was blessed with Orlando, right? And now I'm being blessed again," Williams said with the two pooches on "The Today Show" Monday.
After Williams' fall on the tracks, he and Orlando survived when a transit flagmen yelled and they hid in the trough between the rails. Orlando hovered over Williams as a train stopped above them.

This is a part of Shoutmeloud Question Answer round. If you have any question regarding Blogging , WordPress, feel free to get in touch using contact form.
One of Shoutmeloud Reader Gagandeep asked
Hi Harsh,
can you tell me, how did you place the adsense revenue sharing code in thesis theme, and how to place Google ads below post title and at the end of post in thesis theme. Thanks :)
Gaganpreet Singh
There are many ways by which you can add adsense into Thesis wordpress theme. One easy way is adding adsense by using custom functions.php file. Though many users who are not very fond of editing custom_functions.php file. They can also use Thesis open hook plugin.
Placing the adsense Revenue Sharing code
This can be done using author advertising revenue sharing plugin. Once you have configured the plugin, use this code in your custom_functions.ph file of Thesis theme.
//*************************************************************************** /* Adsense after every post Author advertising */ function add_adsense_media1 () { ?> <p><?php if (function_exists('kd_template_ad')) { kd_template_ad(1); } ?> </p> <?php } add_action('thesis_hook_before_post', 'add_adsense_media1'); //***************************************************************************
You need to take care of media unit ID.
Adding adsense between the blog post
To add adsense in between the post, I prefer using a plugin name Quick adsense plugin. Benefit of using this plugin is, you can always replace it with any other adnetwork.
Adding adsense above or below the post
To add the adsense above, below or on the sidebar. You can try why to do work adsense plugin.
Though one thing which I have observed instead of using all 3 ad units on your blog, you can always try two ad units and more link units. This will increase your CTR and hence revenue.

Apologies for the slow turnaround on these, but I've been having a lot of things come up in my personal life.
Without further ado, a short interview with Jimmy Quinlan of TUF. Jimmy Quinlan represents MassBJJ. Questions were from his fight with Clint.
via mmanytt.se
1. Not a question, but Mania would love to see you "choke out that dickhead, Uriah Hall."
*laugh* Uriah isn't as bad as the show makes him look.
2. Can you tell us a little about how you get food, supplements, vitamins, etc., while in the TUF house? Did you have any dietary challenges?
I actually simplified my diet quite a bit. A lot of people were taking advantage of the free food. I just didn't want to be in the kitchen crowded and cooking with a bunch of dudes. I made cooking as quick and efficient as possible. Everyday you had a list with your name next to it and you could request anything you wanted for food. Almost nothing was ever turned down. Some guys got sushi every single day. Lobster tails were regularly turned down, but that didn't stop the guys from trying. Vitamins, supplements, and everything else from the outside world worked exactly the same way. -- put it on your request list and hope you get what you wanted.
3. How do you respond to criticisms that you should've been more active with your striking on the feet or on the ground? Did you find it difficult to maintain dominant position in round 2 (aka did you feel striking from those positions would've disrupted your base too much)?
I try to not respond to criticisms. When you're in the cage against someone as dangerous as Clint on the feet and is much less dangerous on the ground, an obvious game plan is to take him down.. I made a mistake the first time I got to side control underestimating Clint's ability to power up and for the rest of the first round I was not able to secure Clint in a dominant position. In the second round, once I got to a dominant position on the ground, I finished him. All the talk about lay and pray is just haters because they talk about how I didn't attempt to finish the fight, except for the part where I finished the fight. No fighters have criticized what I did because they have actually stepped in the cage and understand what has happened. Sure, I had opportunities to strike more but when you're getting elbowed in the head by Clint, plans change.
5. Do you feel any of the fighters were milking minor injuries or doing whatever they could to avoid certain matchups?
I didn't know about any of the guys on Team Jones being injured until after the fact. They kept that stuff pretty quiet. On our team [Sonnen], nobody was trying to use excuses like that to avoid anything.
6. How much did Chael improve or refine technical elements of your MMA game, and how much of it was input from his coaching staff?
Chael didn't improve or refine technical aspects of our games. He was very big on, "I can't change you guys physically in 6 weeks." Chael and his team of coaches worked to keep us in shape and improve the mental aspects of our game.
7. This one is from unambig on Mania -- "Why do you have such pillow fists? Why are you such a lay-n-prayer? I want to fight you. You ain't nothing."
*sarcastically* I was born with them, I can't help it... I was scared shitless of Clint and thought God would help me if I prayed a lot during the fight ... if you can get into the UFC I will fight you no problem. We can talk to Joe Silva.

RNLI crews called to windsurfing hotspots
8:36am Sunday 11th May 2014 in News
HARWICH lifeboat crews were called to windsurfing incidents twice in one day.
At 2.12pm on Saturday Thames Coastguard received a call from Felixstowe National Coastwatch Institution reporting an object in the water in an area where windsurfers had been operating earlier.
Harwich RNLI joined Shingle Street Coastguard and found the object, which has been described as nothing untoward.
But at 4pm crews were in Single Street in Suffolk after a 999 call from a woman concerned for her husband's safety.
They kept watch on the man until he safely returned to the shore.

Current Birding Trips with PIB
|David Trently - Bird Guide and Leader
|Photo by Bill Schmoker
|David has been a serious birder since 1994. In the mid-nineties, he started
leading local field trips for the Knoxville Chapter of the Tennessee
Ornithological Society (TOS). That soon led to organizing trips farther afield.
In 2004 David and his brother started a nature tour company that led trips all
around the US and to other countries, including Panama, Ecuador, Mexico and
Belize. David is now a partner in the Partnership for International Birding.
In addition to birding, David spends a lot of time documenting species for
county lists and photographing butterflies and dragonflies.
David is also involved in annual BioBlitzes in east Knox County at Seven Islands
Wildlife Refuge and has been newsletter editor, vice-president and president of
the Knoxville Chapter of TOS, as well as treasurer of the statewide TOS.
He works at the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and has M.S. degree from
there and a B.S. in biology research from the Univ. of Scranton in Pennsylvania.
His job in the Entomology & Plant Pathology department involves research in
the use of natural products for plant pest control, as well as related plant
disease studies.

Day 5 of the 2014 Winter Olympics is relatively light on ice hockey, but two of the best women's teams are set for their second qualification games. Fortunately for both Americans and Canadians, you can actually watch both games live on your television.
On the women's side, Team USA and Canada are considered the heavy favorites to face off in the gold medal game, and both teams had solid starts to their Olympic runs. The Americans thrashed Finland, 3-1, and will face Switzerland on Monday. The game will be televised live on NBCSN at 5 a.m. ET. The Swiss are coming off a brutal 5-0 beatdown from the Canadians, and will be hard pressed to advance.
Speaking of Canada, they will now take on Finland, who had that 3-1 loss to the Americans. The game will air live on MSNBC at 10 a.m. ET. Canada and USA shouldn't have too much trouble as they prepare for a much-anticipated showdown on Wednesday to close out the preliminary round.

Thursday, a Waterford committee agreed to give no tax dollars to two non-profit organizations after they never picked up the money the town gave them last year.
Thursday, the Social Service Grant Committee, a group that oversees local taxpayer donations to a variety of non-profit organizations, approved an $88,410 budget for the 2013-14 fiscal year. That represents a $3,734 decrease from this year's $92,144 total.
The main reason was the town did not fund organizations that did not collect the money they were given last year or didn't request money this year, First Selectman Dan Steward said. Steward said he sees no point in giving organizations money if they don't even take the time to collect it.
"It means they are not well managed by any means," Steward said.
This year, the town authorized $2,000 to the Southeastern Council on Alcoholism and Drug Dependency Inc, $1,700 to the Community Heath Center and $1,800 to the Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut. The committee proposed giving no money to those organizations for the 2013-14 fiscal year because they either never came to collect the money the town gave them in the 2011-12 fiscal year or, in the case of the Community Heath Center, didn't request money for this year, Steward said.
He said the amount of money the town gives these organizations is small compared to their actual budgets. The reason they ask for money is because the more municipalities they get donations from, the better chance they have of getting state and federal grants, which pays for the majority of their operations, Steward said.
Steward said he supports these organizations, but said he was not happy when they didn't collect the money they were given, regardless of how small of an amount it was. The committee agreed to give all the other organizations the same amount as last year, with the exception of Southeastern Area Transit (SEAT), which had a $1,757 increase. The town is statutorily-obligated to pay SEAT's assessment.
Proposed Budget
The following is the proposed $88,401 budget by the Social Service Grants Committee:
Safe Futures Inc: $6,500
United Community and Family Services: $7,200
New London County Association for Retarded Citizens: $1,800
Historic Properties Commission: $400
Municipal Historian: $800
Disabled American Veterans: $250
Waterford Shellfish Commission: $4,056
Waterford/East Lyme Shellfish Commission: $2,500
Eastern Connecticut Conservation District Inc: $600
Southeastern Connecticut Council of Governments: $10,734
New London Homeless Hospitality Center: $2,250

HUNTSVILLE, Ala., Aug. 12 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A national poll released today revealed that 87 percent of the American Public believes that the United States should have a missile defense system. The public survey showed that 58% of the American Public thinks that there is a real threat from missiles carrying weapons of mass destruction and that missile defense is the preferred option over pre-emptive military action or diplomatic efforts for dealing with the proliferation of missiles and weapons of mass destruction by nation states.
"The American Public support for missile defense is at the highest level ever recorded, and has shown the continual increase in the public's awareness of the threat and their support for the United States to have missile defense to defend them from that threat since 2002, when the President and Congress made the decision to deploy missile defenses for our country," stated Riki Ellison, President of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance.
The poll was done by Opinion Research Corporation with a 3% plus or minus margin of error. Opinion Research Corporation partners with CNN on Opinion Research Polls. Poll Results of this poll can be viewed at http://www.missiledefenseadvocacy.org.
Riki Ellison, President of the Missile Defense Advocacy Alliance, is available for interviewing on the survey. Call Mike Terrill at 602 885-1955 to arrange.

TEMPLE - A soft lockdown imposed on several Temple ISD buildings is now over, but an armed suspect that caused the lockdown is still at large.
The lockdown was issued Friday after Temple Officers were notified of a burglary that just occurred on Lower Troy Rd., just north of the Temple city limits.
Police were able to locate the suspect vehicle near the 900 block of East Avenue H at around 2:08 p.m. and began their pursuit. The vehicle abruptly stopped in the 600 block of South 18th Street and the two suspects got out and fled on foot. One suspect remained in the car and was detained without incident.
"We have high motivation to catch anyone that's committing these burglaries and robberies," Sgt. Brad Hunt said. "Anyone that may be running around armed, and is trying to get away from police... We're going to have high motivation to catch."
The two suspects who fled on foot were believed to be armed, as handguns and a shotgun were reportedly taken in the burglary. Officers from TPD. Bell County Sheriffs Office, and Texas DPS maintained a perimeter while officers searched on foot for the two possibly armed suspects. K-9 Units also assisted in the search.
The two loose suspects caused three TISD campuses to go into Soft lockdown. They were: Bethune Elementary, Meredith-Dunbar Elementary, and Wheatly Alternative School. The lockdowns ended at 3:15 p.m.
One of the suspects has since been caught. He was arrested at 3:30 p.m. found hiding in a residence in the 500 block of South Henderson Drive. He was arrested without further incident.One suspect remains at large, and may be armed. He was last seen wearing a white T-Shirt and blue jeans.
Police say this case is not linked to the recent string of robberies in the area.
If you have any information that could lead to an arrest, call Temple PD at 298-5500.

And no posts about it? Or am I missing something. I know it's only a vanilla-heavy affair, but dang. It's kinda a big deal this time of year.
I'll take this opportunity to express my feelings about today: First, the weather. First time in The Bank that we've had good - Nay.. GREAT- weather for the spring game. I recall the past 2 years being cold/chilly and wet. Secondly, MOAR OFFENSE. Well, not an extremely high scoring affair, but certainly far more entertaining than in past years. Not only did we see passing, but passes that actually CONNECTED.
Everything about this year's spring game was different. I liked the intensity, the physicality, and the crispness of the game itself. And getting to meet Woody and Kill at our tailgate was pretty damn cool, too.

At first I determined never to have a website. Then my publisher kindly hosted one for me. They are not really in the website business, however, and it became more and more of a burden to keep material fresh and up-to-date. Finally, I gave in.
I've tried to include content that may be new to readers of my books. In here you'll find reviews, trip reports, personal background, interviews, links to other sites, and articles on such diverse topics as the psychosis of writing and the aftershocks of 9/11. Unlike many websites, this one emphasizes words and de-emphasizes graphics. I am, after all, a writer.
At their best, websites create a kind of virtual community. I don't know who is looking at any given moment, and neither do you. Even so, we connect. May you find this site stimulating and maybe even entertaining. Happy reading.

Marijuana hinders the user's short-term memory (memory for recent events), and he or she may have trouble handling complex tasks. With the use of more potent varieties of marijuana, even simple tasks can be difficult.
Because of the drug's effects on perceptions and reaction time, users could be involved in auto crashes.
Other Risky BehaviorsDrug users also may become involved in risky sexual behavior. There is a strong link between drug use and unsafe sex and the spread of HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.
Under the influence of marijuana, students may find it hard to study and learn. Young athletes could find their performance is off; timing, movements, and coordination are all affected by THC.
Some of the more long-range effects of marijuana use are described in another section of these FAQs.

Injury notes on Alfredsson, Garrison and Kovalchuk … The Red Wings and Sharks may have a busy offseason
- Updated: April 23, 2012
- Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun: There is a chance the Senators Daniel Alfredsson will return from his concussion for Game 6 tonight. He's missed the last 3 games.
- Harvey Fialkov via twitter: It's looking like Panthers defenseman Jason Garrison could be out for the rest of this series with a lower-body injury.
- Rich Chere of the Star-Ledger: There is speculation that Devils forward Ilya Kovalchuk is playing with a significant injury. Kovalchuk said he's good, and coach Peter DeBoer added: "You know what? Everybody this time of year is dealing with stuff."
- Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press: The Red Wings will be clearing out their lockers tomorrow. GM Ken Holland:
"We have lots of cap space, and there'll be players available July 1," general manager Ken Holland said. "We're going to look at free agency, but the NHL is so tight now. The days of us having way more depth than the opposition or one extra star, those are over for everybody. It's a league that's very, very close."
The Wings will have $22 million in cap space next season (# could change depending on what the new cap will be). Some will go Nicklas Lidstrom if he decides to come back. The team plans to pursue Ryan Suter, but the teams bigger problems may be upfront. It's likely they won't bring back UFA Jiri Hudler next season. The Wings are also interested in Zach Parise who will be looking for a raise over his $6 million contract. Other forwards that may be available: Andrei Kostitsyn, Shane Doan, Olli Jokinen, Saku Koivu and Teemu Selanne. The core group of Datsyuk, Zetterberg and Filppula will be back to go along with Bertuzzi and Cleary. RFAs Helm and Abdelkader will be re-signed. Patrick Eaves should be recovered from his concussion in time for next season. Gustav Nyquist should stick with the big club.
- Pierre LeBrun of ESPN: Red Wings GM Ken Holland:
"I think we're in an era now where every year is a new year, it's hard to sustain things for more than two to three years because of the cap," Wings GM Ken Holland told ESPN.com on Sunday. "It's also because we all have a better understanding of the system, there are fewer kids traded, fewer draft picks traded. There's more parity. The days of a team being at the head of the class for seven to eight years, those years are over."
"Certainly we're going to explore all avenues, trade and free agency to try and improve our team," Holland said. "Our goal is to be a playoff team and position ourselves where we have the potential to be on a playoff run."
Notable Red Wings UFAs: Jiri Hudler, Tomas Holmstrom, Brad Stuart, Ty Conklin and Nicklas Lidstrom. Holland hopes to know by the middle of June what Lidstrom's plans are for next year. If Lidstrom retires, it would definitely give them a lot more cap room. If Ryan Suter or Zach Parise hit the open market, the Wings will be bidding. Notable Sharks UFAs: Torrey Mitchell, Dominic Moore and Daniel Winnik. Patrick Marleau has 2 years left with a $6.9 million cap hit and a no-trade clause. Havlat has 3 years left at $5 million. Brent Burns has 5 more years at $5.76 million. LeBrun thinks the Sharks need to shakeup their core. Aside from Joe Thornton, Logan Couture, Ryane Clowe and Dan Boyle, LeBrun would trade almost anyone. GM Doug Wilson did speak with Columbus about Nash at the trade deadline.
- David Pollak of the San Jose Mercury News: One question for the Sharks offseason is if they will keep coach Todd McLellan? Another one is if they'll keep GM Doug Wilson on? The Sharks could look at Rick Nash again, but would likely cost a Joe Pavelski or Ryane Clowe. Patrick Marleau's future in a Sharks uniform may be addressed. He has pointless during the playoffs after putting up 64 regular season points. Martin Havlat had an injury filled season, and only scored 7 goals while putting up 27 points in 39 games. Pavelski had no points in playoffs, but if he's moved, it would have to bring back a player like Nash. Antti Niemi wasn't perfect in the playoffs, but he isn't among the teams biggest problems. Michal Handzus didn't have a good season, and if there is a market for him and his $2.5 million salary, he could be moved.

Peep the standings!
McLaren was heard saying this after the game: "Ok, guys. We've won two games in a row. If we win tonight, its called a winning streak. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE." Meanwhile, the second best team in the AL East dropped another and is 1-5 so far on this road trip. They play in Baltimore next.

According to Howard Eskin the 76ers want a wing who can shoot at the deadline, & I remember a game or two ago Doug Collins said that he was concerned about the size of his wings on the bench. With those in mind that made me think of a player that I've always liked(maybe because it seems like he always does good against our 76ers) and that is James Jones of the Heat.
76ers Trade:
Mo Speights trade exception
2nd round pick
Heat Trade:
James Jones
Why the 76ers do it:
As I said above it gives them a shooter with size & Jodie Meeks is a free agent after this season and if M33KS!!! decides to move on they would have Jones under contract for two more and he can fill the shooting role on the team. If Meeks doesn't leave it's another shooter for Collins to bring off the bench
Why the Heat do it:
Jones minutes are down this year(only averaging ten a game) because the Heat signed Shane Battier to a multi-year deal & also have Mike Miller, with Jones behind those two they can get rid of his salary & get someone cheaper to play ten a game with the second round pick they would get from the 76ers since he'll be behind Miller & Battier for the next couple years.
Why the trade won't happen:
Battier has only played a full season twice in his career and Miller has only played a full season his rookie year, Jones is a good injury replacement if/when one of those two go down for a certain amount of time

Two people are charged with felony child neglect after police say they left a small child alone in a car for more than an hour.
Milton police responded to a burglary call on Summers Addition road Wednesday.
The caller said the suspect was still in the area and was driving a white Oldsmobile Alero.
An officer spotted a car matching the description on Mason street and approached the vehicle after watching it unattended for a half hour.
He noticed a small child in the back seat covered with sweatshirts.
The officer made contact with two suspects and asked them why they left a child in an unsecured car in thirty degree weather.
They said the child was asleep and they were at the residence looking for someone who owed them money.
The officer talked with the Mason street resident who said the suspects were inside for more than an hour and had not mentioned the child in the car.
Police arrested Harold Kirk and Tifani Finley of Boone county charging them with felony child neglect.
Both were arraigned in Cabell county Magistrate court and bond was set at $50,000 each.
Police say with the child being left in the car for that long in such cold temperatures losing body heat, it could have resulted in bodily harm to the child.
Both are in Western Regional Jail.

"WOW what a wonderful experience! Last night was our first time staying at the Renaissance-Providence Hotel. The beds were so comfortable and the pillows were like being home. Our reason for staying was the Willie Nelson Concert. Willie is showing his age BUT still is the BEST and puts on a great show. I found last night's show to be OK…BUT the accommodations at the Renaissance-Providence Hotel were amazing. The powder room was gorgeous and the room was supreme. The front desk help was excellent; I think it was Amy who checked us in. She was great and greeted us with a smile. One of the bartenders was really nice, made great small talk and made us feel comfortable. Juan in room service was awesome and I expressed my appreciation. I can't wait for another reason to get away from the dogs for a few nights and come back in visit!!!"
FB/May 2012
"I had the pleasure to stay in the Renaissance Providence for a full week, attending a conference. This hotel is excellent in every respect – great location in a historic building next to the Capitol and in walking distance to the city centre; elegant and comfortable rooms with all amenities you would expect; friendly and attentive staff; a nice restaurant with wonderful food; and very good conference facilities. All in all a pleasant surprise and certainly the best Renaissance Hotel I ever stayed in. Highly recommended."
Trip Advisor
"On behalf of John Hancock, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the entire Renaissance staff for all your help with our USOM meeting this week.
I cannot thank you enough for all that you did for me personally to makethis program a success.
Looking forward to working with you in 2013!"

Spartanburg County deputies are looking for a brother and sister in connection with the death of a college student found dead in his apartment after another suspect was arrested Thursday.
Deputies said they found 19-year-old DeAndre Fulton-Smith, originally from the Lowcountry, dead inside his apartment on July 25.
Investigators have charged 20-year-old Sama Quinland with murder and armed robbery. His sister, 21-year-old Shaphon Quinland is charged as an accessory after the fact and so is 22-year-old Michael Choice, who is Sama's brother-in-law.
Records show that Choice was booked into the jail on Friday.
Sheriff Chuck Wright attributed good investigative work in linking the trio with the death of Fulton-Smith, a student at Spartanburg Community College.
"We have at least some people that will be held accountable for this young man's untimely death," said Wright.
Wright said the investigation is ongoing. He said he isn't ready to release details on the student's death, but did describe the scene as a violent murder.
The sheriff said Sama Quinland used a handgun to take a television and electronic equipment from Fulton-Smith, but he said he was not sure how the trio knew the victim.
"You should put yourself in the family's shoes, of this Mr. Smith," Wright said. "He was violently killed. I want someone held accountable for it."
Anyone with information on the trio's whereabouts was asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-CRIME-SC.

This is the final issue of the CTS Research E-News. It has been delivering the latest research project milestones, published reports, and seminar coverage to the transportation community since 2003.
But don't worry—the transportation research coverage that has been the hallmark of the CTS Research E-News will continue in a brand-new publication that will be merged with the CTS Report.
Why the change? Because CTS is continually striving to improve our outreach efforts to transportation researchers, professionals, and practitioners, and this new signature CTS publication will be just the latest evolution of that work.
CTS is proud of the work we have done in the CTS Research E-News, but we're not resting on our laurels. The times change, and so must we.
The first issue of the new CTS publication will be available in July. Please stay tuned.
Understanding the interdependent relationship between transportation and land use is important for planning the future growth of cities. Recognizing how this relationship affects accessibility—the ability of people to reach the destinations that meet their needs and satisfy their wants—can help policymakers and planners make decisions that optimize a city's efficiency, livability, and economic competitiveness.
In a study funded by the Minnesota Department of Transportation, researchers from the Department of Civil Engineering compared a set of planning scenarios for the Twin Cities metropolitan area using accessibility as a performance measure. Associate Professor David Levinson, undergraduate research assistant Paul Anderson, and graduate student Pavithra Parthasarathi used the scenarios to evaluate the accessibility of various land use and transportation network combinations.
The researchers analyzed the accessibility of 60 different scenarios, including combinations of six land-use scenarios and 10 highway and transit networks. The land-use scenarios included existing 2010 conditions, projected 2030 conditions, and various combinations of centralized and decentralized population and employment conditions.
Highway networks used in the scenarios included 2010 conditions, projected 2030 conditions, an ideal freeflow network with no congestion, and a hypothetical diamond lane network that added high-occupancy toll lanes to all freeways inside the I-494/694 beltway. Transit networks ranged from 2010 conditions to projected 2030 conditions to a "retro" network that added all 1931 rapid transit streetcar routes to the 2030 network.
In terms of land use, results show that centralized employment and centralized population had the highest accessibility across all networks, resulting in more access to jobs and labor as well as shorter commute times. The researchers found that fully centralized growth produced about 20 to 25 percent more accessibility than the projected 2030 scenario, depending on the accompanying transportation network.
Of the transportation networks, the researchers found that the freeflow network had the highest accessibility—20 percent more than the projected 2030 network—followed by the diamond lane network.
At first, the researchers say, it would be easy to choose the land use and transportation network combination with the highest accessibility as the future planning goal. However, the scenario of centralized population and employment on a freeflow network—while ideal for accessibility—is not likely to be cost-effective or feasible under current conditions.
Instead, the researchers say, these study results could be used to help prioritize future investments and land-use strategies based on how accessibility-effective they are—how much accessibility they deliver per dollar of investment.
A final report on the project, Using Twin Cities Destinations and Their Accessibility as a Multimodal Planning Tool (MnDOT 2012-05), is available on the CTS website.
Researchers from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs have completed the final phase of a three-part study on the Urban Partnership Agreement (UPA) in Minnesota. Overall, the study examined how technology and collaborative processes can be combined in such programs to achieve important transportation goals, catalyze institutional change, and create public value.
The final phase of the ITS Institute-sponsored study focused specifically on the dynamics of the UPA collaboration, including the factors that contributed to its successes and difficulties. The research team included Professor John Bryson, Associate Professor Barbara Crosby, Professor Melissa Stone, and research fellow Emily Saunoi-Sandgren.
Minnesota's participation in the UPA program required many transportation-focused groups in the Twin Cities area to collaborate on 24 individual projects aiming to improve traffic flow on the I-35W corridor between Minneapolis and the city's southern suburbs. Study findings indicate this collaboration was facilitated by existing relationships among key stakeholders, a general agreement on I-35W congestion as a significant problem, and the presence of powerful project sponsors and champions at the federal, state, and local levels.
The research team also highlighted the critical role of neutral conveners—including the Citizens League, CTS, and the State and Local Policy Program at the Humphrey School—in the collaborative process. Specifically, the researchers cited the value of carefully managed forums that promoted and stabilized relationships across public, business, and nonprofit entities.
The researchers also say that a number of lessons can be learned from the UPA effort that could help Minnesota and other areas address transportation challenges in the future. For instance, the researchers recommended developing a comprehensive toolkit to assist potential collaborators. This toolkit could combine existing strategies—such as storyboarding, strategy mapping, and role-playing—into a useful framework for thinking about collaboration.
A final report on the project, Dynamics of Cross-Sector Collaboration: Minnesota's Urban Partnership Agreement from Start to Finish (CTS 12-04), is available on the ITS Institute website.
Example of IVS information showing an upcoming change in speed limit
In a recently completed study, researchers from the HumanFIRST Program examined the use of in-vehicle signing (IVS) for presenting information about changes in speed zones to drivers. This information is intended to help drivers better detect transition points in the roadway by providing them with visual notifications on a smartphone or other personal navigation device.
HumanFIRST director Michael Manser and research fellow Janet Creaser examined the use of IVS notifications for changes in speed limits in four driving zones: along a straight segment of roadway, in school zones or construction zones, and before upcoming curves. They then evaluated the utility and potential distractions associated with presenting this IVS information to drivers. The study was sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Transportation.
The study was completed in the HumanFIRST driving simulator using a route that included freeway driving, two-lane rural road driving, and town driving. All IVS information was presented graphically to drivers—primarily through images of various roadway speed limit signs—on a smartphone mounted on the center console of the vehicle.
Study participants were divided among three system conditions when driving the simulated route. In the first group, drivers received both IVS information and a continuous visual navigation function on the device. In the second and third groups, drivers received only continuous navigation information and only the IVS information, respectively. These varying conditions allowed the researchers to compare the effect and usability of IVS information with navigation information and to examine the effect of multiple sources of information on driving performance.
Overall study results indicated that for some zones and conditions, minimal distraction might have been occurring, especially when navigation information was being presented. However, results also showed that transition zones requiring drivers to adjust their speeds could result in an increased workload for the driver in general, without any information presented. According to the researchers, this finding supports the goal of the IVS application—to help drivers be more attentive to the driving environment when transitioning to a new speed zone.
The researchers also found that providing only IVS information resulted in drivers having their eyes on the screen of the device for shorter time periods than in the two conditions with continuous navigation. This suggests that the more information there is available on a display, the more time drivers are likely to spend looking at it.
Comments from study participants indicated that they found the IVS speed warning information useful in transitioning to new zones and adopting appropriate new speeds. Drivers also preferred the IVS information to the continuous navigation condition.
Overall, the researchers say the study results justify the goals of the IVS application. Although the information could provide a small amount of additional workload or distraction prior to entering a transition zone, it might be outweighed by the benefit to drivers of advanced notification.
Connected Vehicles Program: Driver Performance and Distraction Evaluation for In-Vehicle Signing (CTS 12-05), a final report on the project, is available on the ITS Institute website.
Occasional hazard playground warning sign
Warning signs are typically installed along roadways to inform drivers about hazards that may affect their decision making. Some of these signs are installed for hazards that occur sporadically, such as the potential activity associated with playgrounds or parks located near a roadway. In general, these warning signs are designed to elicit specific driver responses, such as increased awareness or reduced speeds.
In this study, sponsored by the Minnesota Department of Transportation and the Minnesota Local Road Research Board, researchers evaluated the vehicle speed impacts of occasional hazard playground warning (OHPW) signs at three sites in Bloomington, Minnesota. The research team included civil engineering professor Gary Davis, Minnesota Traffic Observatory Director John Hourdos, and Keith Knapp of the Iowa Local Technical Assistance Program.
The researchers collected vehicle speed data at three residential sites in the Bloomington area. At each site, data were collected one month before and again one week to one month after two OHPW signs were installed. The team also recorded manual observations of the amount and location of on-street parking and park or playground activities at each site during the collection periods.
Overall results indicate that the vehicle speed impacts of the OHPW signs are small and site-specific. After the OHPW signs were installed, average speeds were about 1.5 miles per hour (mph) lower at the first study site, 0.9 mph lower at the second site, and had no noticeable difference at the third site.
According to the researchers, one explanation for the limited changes in speed is that the signs could be successfully increasing driver awareness without producing any changes in vehicle speed. The researchers also found that vehicle speed in these areas is highly dependent on the amount of activity at the nearby park or playground as well as on the amount of on-street parking. For example, at one study site, the researchers saw 10 to 15 mph reductions in speed when there was more activity at the nearby park.
The researchers recommend completing additional research that incorporates study sites with and without OHPW signs to help better understand their potential vehicle speed impacts. They also suggest conducting further analysis on how the layout of parks and their proximity to the roadway affects vehicle speeds.
A proposed second phase of this study would include a vehicle speed and eye-scanning evaluation of drivers in a simulated environment to help researchers determine the attention value of OHPW signs. The study would include an examination of drivers' responses to both traditional and enhanced OHPW signs.
Vehicle Speed Impacts of Occasional Hazard (Playground) Warning Signs (MnDOT 2012-05), a final report on the project, is available on the ITS Institute website.
According to a new study by the Center for Excellence in Rural Safety (CERS), Minnesota's primary seat belt law resulted in 68 fewer deaths and 320 fewer severe injuries from 2009 to 2011.
CERS researchers Frank Douma and Nebiyou Tilahun conducted the study on behalf of the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety. They analyzed the impacts of the new law, examining the changes in roadway crash fatalities, seat belt use data, and public opinion survey results.
The primary seat belt law, which went into effect in June 2009, allows law enforcement officers to ticket drivers for not wearing a seat belt without any other law being broken. Prior to the law, not wearing a seat belt was a secondary offense in Minnesota. This allowed law enforcement officers to ticket for failure to wear a seat belt only when there was another moving violation. Currently, 32 states have primary seat belt laws.
To assess the effects of the new law on crash-related injuries and deaths, the researchers compared actual crash data from June 2009 to June 2011 with expected crash data based on trends from 2004 to 2009. Results indicated that there have been 68 fewer deaths, 320 fewer severe injuries, and 432 fewer moderate injuries since the law went into effect. This reduction in deaths and injuries has saved $45 million in hospital charges, the researchers say, including nearly $10 million in taxpayer dollars that would have paid for Medicare and Medicaid charges.
"The primary seat belt law has advanced traffic safety in Minnesota by saving lives and preventing serious injuries," Minnesota Public Safety Commissioner Mona Dohman said. "The findings of this study remind us again how vital it is for Minnesotans to buckle up—every seat, every ride."
The researchers also examined seat belt use data and survey results that measured support for the primary seat belt law. Findings suggest that more Minnesotans are buckling up since the primary law went into effect. Observed seat belt use has increased from 87 percent in 2008 to 93 percent in 2011. In addition, a survey of Minnesotans shows the support of the law has increased to 70 percent, up from 62 percent just before the law was passed.
"The stronger seat belt law is keeping a lot of Minnesotans out of hospitals and morgues, and it will continue to do so for years to come," CERS director Lee Munnich said. "But we still have too many Minnesotans injured or killed every year because they are not wearing seat belts, so we have more work to do."
A final report on the project, Impacts of Minnesota's Primary Seat Belt Law (CTS 12-06), is available on the CERS website.

News: Nas Speechless Over Jay-Z Mock-Lynching Footage, "I Really Don't Even Want To Acknowledge It"
Thursday, Jun 14, 2012 9:42AM
New York rap veteran Nas has stepped up to address new, prevously unreleased footage of a disturbing mock Jay-Z lynching which was set to be unveiled at Hot 97's Summer Jam 2002 concert.
Rather than provide any additional details or discuss his mental state at the time, Nasty Nas decided to ignore the footage altogether.
"I really don't even want to acknowledge it," Nas told MTV News on Tuesday. "Everybody's in a different place. I don't even want to acknowledge it. I can't acknowledge that. Jay's my man, and that's that, that's all I'm gonna say." (MTV)
The controversial video clip began circulating online a few days ago.
Unreleased footage of what was going to be the lynching of a Jay-Z effigy by Nas has released. The fake "Jay-Z" was supposed to be complete with mechanical movements that was intended to be hanged in front of thousands on the Summer Jam stage. Hot 97 of course didn't let him do that which explains why Nas didn't perform that year. (2 Dope Boyz)
After Hot 97 denied Nas' request to stage the hanging during his set, he appeared on rival station Power 105.1 to lash out.
"I been bamboozled, hoodwinked and the whole nine," Nas told radio host Steph Lova. "I'm here to let my people know that I was dissed this morning and told what I couldn't do on the show. Which is really outrageous and shows that the wrong people are in power -- It's really out of hand and I'm not going for it." (Power 105.1)
Hot 97's Angie Martinez later denied claims suggesting they pulled the plug on him to protect their relationship with Jay-Z.
"Management told him not do it...Nas then decided if he couldn't do that portion of the show, he didn't want to do any show. We were not trying to protect a specific artist, this was not about politics, money, nothing. This was just a decision that was made. That's the truth." (Hot 97)

The Republican Party is threatening to cut two television networks, CNN and NBC, out of their debates if those networks air their planned documentary and miniseries on Hillary Clinton. The GOP says the networks are giving her a campaign contribution. I think it's early posturing by the Republicans.
KJ says: "I have to strongly disagree with you. The networks are trying to push her down our throats like they do (and did) Obama."
Ren says nonsense: "Would it be unfair if Will Smith decided to throw his hat in the ring in the next couple of years?"
But Bob writes: "I would expect your point of view, personally I think your news is a hack; a rag that bows down to liberal structure."
Hunter responded to Bob: "Ogle tends to lean towards the conservative side. You embarrass yourself. Maybe you should start paying attention."
Ralph says: "Just wrong to try and keep her in the lime-light this far in advance of the elections."
And Angie writes from Vinita: "They're airing it now so they don't have to give equal air time in the future to GOP!"
Robin's fired up about it: "We Women WILL vote for her and if the GOP wants to get nasty let them, some of us can get just as nasty."
And Matthew with a parting shot at me: "Kelly very disappointed you would [choose] this!!! [It] says a lot about you as a person guess it's time to watch a diff news station."
