What a great season the Kansas City Chiefs are having! 9-1 and no mock NFL drafts to be seen. What has John Dorsey and his scouts been looking at so far this college Season? AP used to follow Pioli and his guys around like a wolfpack trying to discern who is of interest to them in the upcoming draft.
Even though the Chiefs just recently surrendered a premium draft pick to acquire Alex Smith it might already be time to start thinking about the long-term future of the quarterback position. After all Smith is nearly 30-years-old and the jury is still out as to whether he is anything more than an average starter. If we don't know by this point the answer is probably "No". There could be a number of signal callers competing for a spot in the back end of round one but Zach Mettenberger of L.S.U. is currently generating the most buzz. A classic pocket passer with a large frame and very strong arm, Mettenberger is finally fulfilling his vast potential as a senior under the tutelage of Cam Cameronand shooting up draft boards. If Mettenberger continues to progress and has a strong showing at an all-star game he could even come off the board much earlier than this. Others jockeying for position with Mettenberger include Johnny Manziel of Texas A&M, Derek Carr of Fresno St., A.J. McCarron of Alabama and Tajh Boyd of Clemson. Kansas City is also in need of a wide receiver to team with Dwayne Bowe so that's a strong possibility too. Other options could include an inside linebacker, a free safety or a defensive end.
Kansas City Chiefs: Antonio Richardson, OT, Tennessee
The Chiefs just spent the No. 1 overall pick on the disappointing Eric Fisher, but they'll need a bookend for him once Branden Albert moves on. If you don't think Kansas City would draft two consecutive offensive tackles with its first-round picks, well, remember who's making the decisions now.
|Kansas City
|Cameron Erving
Florida State
Reach/Value: -8
|Alternate Pick #1
Stephon Tuitt
Alternate Pick #2
HaHa Clinton-Dix
|Another OT to the Chiefs? This isn't about Eric Fisher. The jump from the MAC to the NFL is huge. He has struggled, but he has talent. The is all about the status of Branden Albert. Albert has played well, but he is unsigned for next year. The Chiefs would like to resign him. They are far apart on the money. Erving is an interesting prospect. He is quite athletic for his size and his physical, playing with a mean streak. Erving needs work on his fundamentals as his agression can be used against him. Unless Albert is resigned, the Chiefs need to shore up their Tackles and Erving would be an asset.
Or maybe it will be one of those LSU WR's?

Who We Are
The Purdue Student Government Court is comprised of nine undergraduate student Justices and two graduate student Justices in addition to assistant clerks. Of the eleven Justices, there is one Chief Justice (appointed by the Student Body President) who serves along side of the Vice-Chief Justice, the Administrative Justice, the Promotions Justice and the Justice of the Clerks.
What We Do
All of the Judicial Powers of Purdue Student Government are vested in the PSSC. This includes but is not limited to the review of any document or action of the PSG with regards to its Constitutionality. PSSC shall also be responsible for mediating and resolving disputes between any member of the PSG and other parties relating to the Constitution and the procedures and policies of the PSG. In addition to the PSG responsibilities, the PSSC also serves the student body of Purdue University directly through Traffic Court and Know Your Rights events.
Traffic Court
Held weekly in Rawls Hall room 1071 at 6:30pm, Traffic Court provides a chance for students who feel that they have been wrongly ticketed by Parking Services to present their case in the hope of getting their ticket excused. Once a case has been presented, the PSSC will closely examine the facts presented by the student and Parking Services in order to determine a final ruling. Any student interested in presenting a case may sign up at the Parking Services office.
Student Legal Services (SLS)
Student Legal Services is a brand new program as of September 2013. There is now an on-campus lawyer, Leslie Charters, that can answer your legal questions! Her office is located in Schleman B50. The Justices on PSSC comprise the Student Legal Services Advisory Board, which works on improving the program with student input. Students needing legal assistance can visit the ODoS website for more information.
Know Your Rights
Thoughout the year, the PSSC strives to increase student awareness about their rights as members of campus and of the community through campus-wide events and marketing initiatives.

Good morning! Here is your Kansas City Chiefs news. It includes a nice article on Alex Tanney. Enjoy.
Though Routt and Flowers squared off against each other twice a season for the past four seasons, they were relative strangers when the Chiefs began offseason workouts in April. Even then, it took a while for the two veterans to develop a relationship.
"When I first got here, we really didn't talk much, but it's going real well now," Routt said. "I've always seen him from the other side of the field in years past and always admired his play then. Playing alongside him now, I can tell that it's going to be a real good year."
The chemistry between cornerback tandems isn't hyped like the bond shared by quarterbacks and receivers, but it's still an important partnership.

If you are not from the Monmouth area and don't know Alex Tanney too well, you could say he is the "trick shot" quarterback. He's the YouTube sensation who can hit a crossbar from 50 yards out from his knees. Locally, he seemed more like a college student having some fun with a couple of friends in the summertime.

That said, Mel Kiper has given his audit of the division over at ESPN and he has Matt Cassel as the hinge upon which the Chiefs' entire season will swing. The Chiefs quarterback made the Pro Bowl in 2010, but even then he's still generally regarded as a league-average quarterback. Kiper writes:
Mel Kiper Lists Matt Cassel As The Kansas City Chiefs' Biggest Question Mark from SBN KC
Last week the Kansas City Chiefs were here. On Friday, athletes from Mizzou are coming. Professional sports teams from across the state have been in and out of Joplin in the year since the devastating storm, and will return again to lend a hand as the city of about 50,000 pieces itself back together.
The steady stream of professional and college athletes visiting Joplin this summer are part of the Governor's Joplin Challenge, a project with Habitat for Humanity. Paid for in part with a Community Development Block Grant, and a ton of sweat equity, the project is building new houses in the storm-ravaged parts of the community. The Chiefs, Rams and the others are here to raise money and awareness for the project ... and pound a few nails in the process.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz owns "Stanzi" - as in a framed piece of art dedicated to that ultimate patriot, ex-Hawkeyes quarterback Ricky Stanzi.
According to reports, Ferentz had the winning bid for a framed sketch of Stanzi both in his football helmet and in his uniform with helmet off and hand over heart. The sketch is over an American flag background and has a famous quote from the signal-caller.

The first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem. In studying the 10 teams that finished last season with the least amount of sacks, I found five legitimate playoff contenders. The Packers were the only one of those five to earn a playoff berth in 2011. Let's take a look at what the other four teams have done during the offseason to upgrade their pass rush...
Kansas City Chiefs (T-27th with 29 sacks): They spent their first-round pick on Memphis DT Dontari Poe. Despite a lack of sack production in college, Poe is an athletic freak with major upside as an interior pass rusher.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man.Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded -- here and there, now and then -- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." -- Robert A. Heinlein

Associate Professor of Philosophy,
Taylor Chair in Philosophy,
Director, Environmental Studies Program,
Faculty Moderator, Philosophy Society
Ph.D., Boston College, 2001
Specialties: Continental Philosophy (Hermeneutics, Phenomenology, Existentialism), Philosophy of Religion, Ethics, Environmental Philosophy
Special Interests: The intersections of continental philosophy and theology; hermeneutics and narrative; virtue ethics.
Current Projects: Current research, under the auspices of the Taylor Chair, focuses on the role of our material constitution -- embodiment, the physical world, and so on -- in shaping and delimiting our hermeneutic horizons. This work will take form in a series of articles and in an edited book that builds on the presentations and conversations about "the human place in the natural world" that took place at the 2012 meeting of the Society for Continental Philosophy and Theology which met at LMU. I'm also co-editing a special journal issue on "the sustainable city." Finally, in addition these various book-length projects, I'm working on an article on hermeneutics and the elements, on another on a virtue-theory approach to food, on an essay on hermeneutics and the environment for Routledge, and, finally, an essay exploring the difference between avoiding evil and doing good.

IDX Smart Pages Shortcodes
When you purchase and receive your custom Smart Pages plugin zip file, install and activate it just as you would any other plugin. That is: upload it to your wp-content/plugins folder with cPanel and unarchive it. The idx-smart-pages folder will be created and the plugin code installed. Go to WP Dashboard / plugins, and activate it. It uses different shortcodes from all of our other plugins, so as long as no other plugin uses the shortcode names shown below, it should activate with no issues.
Your customized Smart Pages plugin is licensed for the specific real estate site(s) identified in your product license, and is highly customized for each specific MLS / IDX/RETS feed. It may not be shared with or used by any other agent, broker or website(s) without written approval of CMS Real Estate Sites LLC as specified in the license. Generally, only one Smart Pages licenses will be sold for any one market area, defined as one MLS or Board. However, in some larger market areas, additional licenses may be granted when the primary market areas of each agent / broker do not overlap substantially.
In order to function properly, any Smart Pages plugin shortcode that includes IDX data also requires that we make a number of custom modifications to a few of the UIDX page templates. Most UIDX websites implemented 2011 and later may have most of those modifications in place.
Syntax and Functional Summary
The shortcodes implemented and used by this plugin include:
[idx-city-profile city="cityname"]
This shortcode displays a standardized set of H1 and H2 tags for a specific city. For each predefined H2 section on the page, it includes city specific text for that section. Each section is created and maintained by the site owner using WP custom fields for that page.
The intent of this page is to provide a site-wide standardized city page structure, which can then be filled in with content that may be provided by various sources and content writers. The set of predefined sections that are to be provided by the shortcode can be customized for each site and implementation.
This page is also intended to be the "parent" page for multiple city and property type specific "child" pages for each city. The "child" pages are created separately, using multiple sets of the idx-city-top and idx-city-search shortcodes on each "child" pages as described below.
[idx-city-top city="cityname" proptype="proptype" hometype="hometype" zipcodes="csv zipcode list" ziplist="csv zipcode list"]
city: City name. Required. This is the only required parameter. In some MLS feeds that do not include a city name, this parameter may be implemented as "community" instead of "city".
proptype: Optional. Primary property type (may vary by MLS). Typical values (one only): res, condo, patio, townhome, land, income, all. If omitted, "all" is assumed. These values may vary by MLS feed.
hometype: Optional. Secondary property type (may vary by MLS). Typical values (one only): ranch, horse, gated, age restricted, pool home, pool community, townhome, high rise, etc. This parameter may also be implemented as "subtype" instead of "hometype" for some MLS feeds.
zipcodes: Optional. Comma separated list of one or more zip codes that are included in the city. If used, then a zip code specific search link is generated for each zip code in the list.
ziplist: Optional. Comma separated list of one or more zip codes that are alternatives to and replacements for zipcodes.
This parameter is used when an area is not an incorporated city/town/community, but can be associated with one or more specific zip codes. When provided, the ziplist parameter values are used instead of the city name in all generated UIDX search links, and is also used to generate the zip code specific search links. If this parameter is used, then the zipcodes parameter is ignored, so only one or the other may be specified.
This shortcode displays the top section of a city and property type specific page. It includes standard H1 and H2 tags, plus "boilerplate" custom content which is designed for each site and implementation according to site owner preferences. Use of this shortcode is not required on a city page, and if the website owner already has provided significant city specific content, it should generally not be used.
Following the idx-city-top shortcode, and before its partner idx-city-search shortcode, the site owner may add any other custom content for that particular city and property type page.
If the page that includes this shortcode does not already have a "title" custom field, then it will display a "SEO helper" block at the top of the page, with suggested title, description and keywords meta content. The page author would then copy and paste these suggestions into whatever SEO plugin (Platinum SEO Pack highly recommended) fields they may be applicable to for that page, modify the content if desired, and update the page. Once something is saved into the "title" custom field, the next time the page is displayed, the suggested meta content block will not be displayed.
This shortcode saves all of the provided parameters into WP custom fields for later use by the idx-city-search shortcode on the same page. Once the custom fields have been saved, the parameters may be omitted from all shortcodes on that page.
If desired, Instead of including the parameters in the shortcode, the site owner may choose to use the "Custom Field Template" plugin to enter the parameters. We recommend and would install this plugin at the time we install and configure the "IDX Smart Pages" plugin for each site owner.
If idx-city-top is used on the same page, this shortcode inherits the parameters from the custom fields saved by the idx-city-top shortcode on the same page. If idx-city-top is not used, then the same parameters as described in the idx-city-top shortcode are applicable for this one, with city="city name" being the only required parameter.
This shortcode displays a standard set of links to related UIDX "quick searches", each of them pointing to and utilizing the UIDX standard search url and parameters syntax, plus standard H2 and H3 tags in appropriate locations, and IDX search results applicable to the shortcode parameters used.
This shortcode may be used together with the idx-city-top shortcode on the same page, in which case it inherits the parameters provided in the idx-city-top shortcode, or independently. If used independently, then the same parameters described for the idx-city-top shortcode must be provided within the idx-city-search shortcode.
[idx-subdivision city="city name" subdivision="subdivision name" zipcode="123456" proptype="proptype" alias="see below" address="subdivision entrance street address" price="12345678" lat="12345678" long="12345678"]
city: City name. Required.
subdivision: Subdivision Name. Required.
zipcode: Optional. A single zip code in which this subdivision resides.
proptype: Optional. Primary property type (may vary by MLS). Typical values (one only): res, condo, patio, townhome, land, income, all. If omitted, "res" is assumed.
alias: Optional. At least one subdivision name to be used as the UIDX subdivision search parameter, in case the subdivision name alone is not adequate to select all of the applicable properties.
Format: A comma separated list, where each subdivision name may be surrounded by asterisks to denote a "contains" search, and any spaces are replaced with underlines.
For example:
In some MLS feeds, and for some subdivision types, notably some large master planned communities, the subdivision field in the IDX feed may not be the common subdivision name as known to the public, but a special "filing" name and number. Or, the MLS may allow abbreviations and other variations of the subdivision name to be manually entered by the listing agent. In these cases, this field is used for the UIDX subdivision search instead of the subdivision name, so the common subdivision name and all of its possible aliases would be entered here.
SRP Fields
The following parameters apply and are used only if the "Simple Real Estate Pack" plugin is also installed, and the subdivision page is to include the SRP plugin's tabbed block of additional subdivision information. If this is the case, then all of the following parameters are required. If any of them are omitted, then the SRP plugin function will not be used.
address: Address or street intersection of the subdivision's entrance.
price: Median or average sale price for this subdivision. Used as the default sale price for estimated loan calculations.
lat: Latitude for the subdivision entrance address (from Google maps or other source)
long: Longitude for the subdivision entrance address (from Google maps or other source)
This shortcode displays selected IDX search results based on the shortcode parameters, just below a "Revise Search" abbreviated search form for that subdivision.
If the appropriate additional shortcode parameters are included, and the Simple Real Estate Pack plugin is installed and activated, it also displays the SRP profile for that subdivision, similar to the one displayed for an individual property, but using the subdivision entrance address and its geo coordinates instead of a specific property address.
When properly used, each idx-subdivison smart page would be a "child" page under its corresponding city and property type page. For example all residential detached home subdivisions would be "child" pages of the applicable city / property type page, as would additional idx-subdivision pages for specific condo buildings, townhome communities and patio/cluster home communities.
[idx-property mlsnumber="1234567"]
mlsnumber: Required. MLS Number. This is the only parameter, and is used to access and display the applicable UIDX details page for this property.
This shortcode displays one specific property details smart page by MLS number, using your standard UIDX property details template. Any user written content can be included on the same page, above and/or below the idx-property shortcode.
The shortcode will issue two UIDX requests. The first simple request returns only a few key property details, including the property address, city, zip code, and latitude and longitude, which are pre-formatted as a secondary WordPress shortcode that will perform the "heavy lifting" of actually bring in the rest of the property details and invoking the Simple Real Estate Pack plugin to generate the additional property information.
If the Simple Real Estate Pack plugin is installed and activated, and all of the required information, including latitude and longitude, are available in that listing, then it also displays the SRP profile for that particular property.
This function is great for your own featured listings. Since it always uses your MLS compliant property details template and includes all MLS required disclosures, you can also use it for any listing, not just your own.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) - Fabyon Harris scored 17 points, Elston Turner added 11 and Texas A&M rallied past Mississippi State for a 55-49 overtime win on Wednesday night.
Texas A&M (13-7, 3-4 Southeastern Conference) trailed by 14 points early in the second half, but recovered to snap a 4-game losing streak. Harris made 8 of 13 shots from the field and Turner sank a crucial fadeaway jumper with 30 seconds remaining in overtime to give the Aggies a 53-49 lead.
J'Mychal Reese scored 10 points, including four in overtime.
Mississippi State's Craig Sword banked in a 3-pointer with 5.9 seconds left to tie the game at 47 and send it into overtime. Gavin Ware led the Bulldogs (7-12, 2-5) with 14 points while Colin Borchert added 10. The Bulldogs have lost five straight.

Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains is a punk rock fantasy that would have us believe an arena of already brain-washed punks (or skunks as they call themselves, here) would sincerely listen to Ray Winstone lecture them about how they've been marketed to by a fraudulent female punk band that is more fashion than fury. Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains is a satire, but it fails to mock the simple notion that no rocker pushing 30 is going to be able to talk any sense into a crowd of consumerist teen rebels. That's just farce.
This movie was fun as a kid, but it's more funny than fun once you are over 30 and no longer trustworthy. I think I'll stick with Out of the Blue.

Clayton-le-Moors benefits cheat must repay thousands
3:00pm Monday 7th April 2014 in News
A WOMAN has been ordered to pay back thousands of pounds of housing benefit she wrongly claimed.
Tania Bleasdale of Brisbane Street, Clayton-le-Moors, pleaded guilty to two allegations of failing to declare changes in her circumstances.
Blackburn Magistrates' Court heard the 40-year-old failed to declare her partner, who was in full-time employment, was living with her.
She also failed to tell officials she was earning more after changing her job.
As well as being told to pay back an overpayment of £5,180.92, Bleasdale will have to carry out 40 hours of unpaid work and pay costs of £110.
Cabinet member for finances at Hyndburn Council, Coun Joan Smith, said: "The message is clear – make sure your benefits claims are up-to-date and in order.
"Otherwise we will pursue you, and you could end up in court."

I'm driving 6 hours on Saturday with my best friend up to Denver to see the Broncos game. He's a Jet's fan and they have the better record so he's got the upper hand. Please post good natured witticisms I can unleash during the drive to let him know that the Broncos reign supreme.
My friend is a master pun maker, so puns would be particularly appreciated. Thanks in advance for enabling me to let the good times roll on down the highway.
I'm stoked about being there on Sunday. Good Broncos!

Second Hand Toshiba Laptops
Why Choose a Second Hand Toshiba Laptop?
Laptop computers abound with advantages – portability, graphics and speed. But one disadvantage is that it seems every company in the world is cranking out laptops. A discount Toshiba laptop may get lost in all of the heavy advertising from other computer brands, but more and more customers are choosing a new or used Toshiba laptop. Why?
Toshiba Company Strengths
Toshiba is not a fly-by-night company. Chances are you already own a Toshiba television, stereo, fax or incandescent lamp. Your local hospital probably owns many electronic Toshiba imaging devices. Originally named Tanaka Engineering Works in 1875, Toshiba went through several mergers and now employs over 199,000 people worldwide. That's a lot of people to answer any questions you have about your second hand Toshiba laptop.
Some people shy away from cheap Toshiba laptops because of the low price. But this company is big enough to be able to afford to sell discount Toshiba laptops. Cheap Toshiba laptops are affordable for many people and businesses. When the customers are happy with their discount Toshiba laptops, this ensures repeat business and brand loyalty. This is in fitting with the company mission to "be a premier global electronics company" by selling the most cutting-edge products at affordable prices.
Toshiba Laptop Support
With some computer companies, it's easier to buy a second hand Toshiba laptop rather than fix their new laptop. But Toshiba makes customer support easy at the aptly named Toshiba Support. Here you can join a forum to connect with other owners of used Toshiba laptops, find repair centers and find fun accessories.
Since they realize that most owners of discount Toshiba laptops will use Windows, there is an easy-to-find icon just for Windows 7 users or for Windows Vista users that want an upgrade. It doesn't take forever to find information on Toshiba Support about used Toshiba laptops because it's not loaded with distracting ads or complicated animation. Even the oldest second hand Toshiba laptop should be able to download the support site.

IL (AP) -- Heat advisory remains in effect from 1:00pm this afternoon to 7:00pm CDT Monday. Dangerous levels of heat and humidity will occur from this afternoon through Monday afternoon. Heat index values will peak from 100 to 107 degrees in the afternoon hours with high temperatures in the low to mid 90s and dew points in the 70s.
The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will lead to an increased risk of heat-related stress and illness. The very young, the elderly, those without air conditioning and those participating in strenuous outdoor activities will be the most susceptible. Also car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes. Beat the heat, check the backseat! Never leave children or pets unattended in a vehicle.
Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear light weight and loose fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water.
To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency. Call 9-1-1.
A heat advisory means that a period of hot temperatures is expected. The combination of hot temperatures and high humidity will create a situation in which heat illnesses are possible. Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, and stay out of the sun. And check up on relatives and neighbors.

Braintree district: Voluntary group wins community funding
4:00pm Monday 31st December 2012 in News
A voluntary group providing support to families with young children is among the causes to benefit from a regional community fund.
Members of the Co-operative Group regularly donate part of their dividend payments directly to its Community Fund.
In 2012, the fund shared £95,000 between community groups and projects in Essex and Hertfordshire.
Home-Start Witham, Braintree and Halstead has received £2,000 from the fund, which will go towards providing IT equipment for the group.
Volunteers from Home-Start provide support, friendship and practical help in an attempt to prevent family crisis and breakdown.
Other groups to have benefitted from the fund in the past year include the Witham Allstars Majorettes.
Paul Cranfield, The Co-operative's regional secretary, said: "It's a scheme we're very proud of, not only because it gives us the chance to thank members for shopping with us, but because so many people do choose to give something back to the local community.
"This year's fantastic total of over £95,000 reflects the growth we are seeing in our membership levels."
For more information about Home-Start, call 01376 519101 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

6 Top Women's Tennis Players of All Time
Though tennis champ Serena Williams is currently ranked No. 1 in the world and has a multitude of wins under her belt — 641 as a singles player, to be exact — she says she doesn't consider herself the greatest player of all time. "Maybe top five, but definitely not number one," Williams said. "I'm not the greatest player. I'm still playing and I'm still trying to reach records."
Despite Williams's modesty, she will undoubtedly eventually grace this list. We took a look at some of the other greats in the game to see how she sized up.
1. Steffi Graf
The International Tennis Hall of Fame called Graf a "champion of the highest order," and few would disagree. Through the 1980s and '90s, Graf became the only tennis player to capture every major tournament at least four times, including the so-called "Golden Grand Slam" in 1988. Known for her cool demeanor, Graf landed twenty-two Slams, 107 titles and 377 weeks as the world No. 1. As evidenced by having won each of the four Grand Slams at least four times, Graf was extremely versatile across all surfaces: "Steffi is the best all-around player of all time, regardless of the surface," said Martina Navratilova.

Gremlins do it again at Highbridge and Burnham Carnival (From Burnham and Highbridge Weekly News)

Gremlins do it again at Highbridge and Burnham Carnival
8:51am Tuesday 13th November 2012 in News By Kirsty James
THOUSANDS of people braved the cold to catch a glimpse of the sparkling procession at Highbridge and Burnham Carnival last night (November 12).
The event, which celebrates its 65th anniversary, saw Gremlins Carnival Club scoop top spot once more for their open feature cart theme - 'Revolution'. Masqueraders Carnival Club rolled in second place with their wintery-themed 'Journey of the Polar Bear Queen'.
The display brought a little something extra in the form of scattered snow, which added to the atmosphere.
Highbridge and Burnham Carnival president Malcolm Borland said atmosphere is a key part of the carnival.
"It's very much a family event and has a friendly and safe atmosphere," he said.
"Crowd numbers were slightly down on last year, but I spoke to a lot of people who said they were really enjoying it and had never seen anything like it. I hope they will tell all their friends and the crowd will be larger next year."
It takes most clubs up to around £20,000 to put a cart together and Highbridge and Burnham Carnival only usually takes in around £8,000 in donations.
Mr Borland said donations this year are estimated to be down. "It's such a shame because the standard of entries was excellent and seems to get better every year," he added.
The town's own Hillview Junior Carnival Club narrowly missed out on first place in the Mounted Juvenile Feature/Tableaux with their 'Hollywood Hotel 1939' theme – coming second to Marina Sydenham JCC's 'Clown Town'.
But Hillview JCC did bag the Best Local Entry, Chairman's Choice (local) and Most Outstanding Costume (local).
Gemini Carnival Club's 'Race Time - Starlight Express' secured first place in the Tableaux Mounted Open cart category. The procession kept with tradition, with this year's Carnival Princesses Rachael Nicol and Lily Kilduf sitting beside Carnival Queen Jenna Picton leading the procession.
The whole event went smoothly and organisers are now preparing to assist with Shepton Mallet Carnival tomorrow (November 14).

The voting for the Best Pilates DVDs was enthusiastic to say the least. In each of our three categories - best beginner, intermediate and advanced DVDs - the winners were way out in front.
Our winner for best beginner Pilates DVD, Total Body Pilates with Mini Ball from Lisa Hubbard, got a great review here at Pilates.About.com. It was a big winner with our readers as well. There are two very good, flowing workouts here that your guide was expecting to win for best intermediate DVD (take note all levels). The mini ball comes in the package and is used to good effect in the Pilates mat exercise-based routines.

Growing Your Podiatry Practice
"In times of change, the learners will inherit the earth, while the knowers remain well prepared for a world that no longer exists" - Eric Hoffer
Marketing Your Podiatry Practice and Achieving Sustained Double Digit Growth Does Not Have to be Frustrating
Sign Up Now: Click Here for the Mastermind Application
There are two ways you can view the coming changes in podiatry.
You can, as many do, see a future in which you have to work harder, see more patients, be paid less, and struggle just to maintain the levels you are at now.
You can view the upcoming changes as an opportunity (possibly the greatest opportunity in your career) to move your practice forward and build the practice you want, instead of accepting the practice that just continues to walk in the door. The building blocks are all there if you are willing to open your mind to the possibilities. Consider the following:
1. As our population ages there will be an increasingly large group of people (the largest generation in the history of the human race) experiencing an ever increasing series of problems with their feet and ankles.
2. As the government and other forces continue to intrude into health care, those podiatrists who are prepared to deal with change will find themselves increasingly in demand to treat this expanding population as those who are unwilling to adapt leave the profession.
3. The services that a podiatrist is now able to offer his/her patients are continuing to grow significantly, offering podiatrists the ability to provide a very high level of care and increase the health of the bottom line of their practice as well.
4. There is now a deeper understanding of how to market a podiatric practice that simply didn't exist in the past.
5. A culture of sharing best practices is emerging in the profession.
Succeeding in the future is ultimately up to you and no one else
These forces combined with your willingness to embrace them with a positive mental attitude will sort out who will thrive in the coming years and who will be broken by the challenges ahead.
The good news is that this is entirely your choice and no one can take it from you - except yourself.
Take the first step and fill out the Mastermind Application
Is Top Practices Right for Me and My Podiatry Practice?
I get this question a lot, and it is a very good one. My best answer is that Top Practices is NOT for everybody and it might not be for you. You are the best judge of that. What I can tell you is who Top Practices is right for and then you can decide if this is you.
First, it doesn't matter what the size of your practice is. We have multi-doctor, multi-office, multi-million dollar practices in the group, and we have small solo doctor offices.
Second, it doesn't matter where you are located, big city, rural, west, south, north. We have members all over North America.
Finally, it doesn't matter whether you are very new (first five years in practice) or if you've been practicing for 30 years, because some of our most engaged and successful members are in both of these categories.
What does matter is your mindset, your approach, and your willingness to roll up your sleeves and actually change your practice for the better. Many people say they want more patients, more cash flow, and a less stressful practice. We all believe that we want this desire is enough to make some changes, but, in reality, most of us lose interest in growth and development rather quickly and revert back to the same old patterns that we are used to. The problem with this is that we get the same old results and as it gets more difficult to practice (and it is) the same old results just aren't good enough to enable us to live the lives we really want.
A Rising Tide Floats ALL the Boats
So, Top Practices may be for you if you are willing to learn a new and effective way to market your practice. Learning this is just like learning anything else new. It takes time, it takes investment in learning and putting programs into place that will allow your practice to grow in double digits year over year. And it takes a commitment to sticking with the group and continuing to grow with it. Many people, after they join the Mastermind Group, are shocked that the doctors in the group actually share at the level that they do. Most people are so used to others holding back vital information because they are afraid that if they share it, then they won't have an edge on their competitors. The members of the group know that a rising tide floats all the boats, and the more information they can share about what's working, the more others will share with them. And that is exactly how we conduct ourselves in the Top Practices Mastermind Group.
What Are Your Colleagues Saying About Top Practices?
It's important that you hear from our actual members. Podiatrists who have seen tremendous gain and results from becoming a member of Top Practices and implementing our strategies and programs.
I work very hard to make learning the practice building strategies we use as easy as possible and I have a team of people who are prepared to help you get things done with a minimum of effort. BUT it still requires effort and attention. Top Practices is not for doctors who want a magic pill, or doctors who are so fried by the sea of negativity around them that they can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
But if you are still excited about practicing podiatry, and you are willing to roll up your sleeves and take a risk that everything I've told you about this unique group is true, and you are willing to plug in and learn a system from me and the best practices from your own colleagues, then Top Practices might just be for you.
We Don't Play Games
I can tell you this. When you join the Top Practices Mastermind Group, there are no minimum contracts, or time periods. I believe that you should only be in this group if it is enabling you to solve your business development challenges and if it is providing you with the kind of support that makes practicing podiatry enjoyable each and every day. You can always leave the group at any time by simply telling us you want to leave. It's that simple. And many of our members have been in the group since we started in January of 2007.
Marketing your practice doesn't have to be frustrating, and it should never cost you any money. Your return should be far in excess of anything you spend. If that makes sense to you, then Top Practices might just be for you.
If you'd like to join now just fill out the application and fax it back to me. As soon as I receive your fax I'll contact you with details.
Dedicated to your Success,

AP is a great Kansas City Chiefs / Football Blog. Filled with many great people with all kind of diverse backgrounds. The only thing that holds this Hindenburg together is Chris and Joel and how we interact with each other. We have a lot of pre "AP" posters and commenters here AKA "The Old Guard". They have every right (if Chris and Joel agree) to be upset with what has happened to "Their Website" to talk Chiefs and anything else they want to talk about. I totally agree with that. I am "new" and I know that. I try to fit in and get along. The AP site is very welcoming. Yet, us New ones should not expect that we will be allowed to come in and take over. I for one would not want to change what AP was when I found it. That's why I want to be here. Let's argue and discuss. AP is great for that but let us please check our Ego's, our Biases, and our Attitudes at the door. We are ALL friends Here :)

Overtime won't happen after closing time at Sharon's anymore.
Tuesday night, Sharon selectmen extended the Route 1 eatery's liquor license by one hour, until 1 a.m.
The change will allow Mick Morgan's "to be comparable and to be more competitive" with neighboring establishments, restaurant business partner Finbar Griffin told the board.
Last weekend, "we were pretty much empty for the NBA Finals, because people were going to locations on Route 1," Griffin said.
Mick Morgan's is considering offering "a smaller food menu" to such customers, he said.
Selectmen also approved a patio off the restaurant's 30- to 35-seat function room.
Overflow crowds during functions will use the space, Griffin said.
The tables and chairs there would be removed after the summer, he said.
"It's not for people to sit out there until midnight," Griffin said.
"We're not looking for an increase in our capacity."

There's been a lot of controversy as to whether or not the chemicals used to make baby pajamas flame resistant are safe for the sensitive skin of babies; as of today, there is still no clear answer.
The History of Flame Resistant Baby Pajamas
In the 1970s, rules adopted by the Department of Commerce (and later transferred to the Consumer Product Safety Commission or CPSC) stated that baby pajamas must self-extinguish if exposed to an open flame for 3 seconds or more. Given this requirement, polyester became a popular fabric because it is naturally flame resistant and did not require treatment; other fabrics were treated with a chemical called tris phosphate - also known as TDBPP or TRIS. This practice was short lived however because research showed that the chemical caused cancer and sterility in animals; TRIS was officially banned in 1977.
The Current Regulations
In 1996, the CPSC amended the regulations and approved untreated, snug-fitting cotton garments as appropriate sleepwear for babies because the snug-fitting garments effectively eliminated any space for the flow of oxygen between the babies skin and the clothing they were wearing.
Today, it is estimated that less than 1% of all baby pajamas are actually treated to be marketed as flame resistant, but there is still interest in the procedure because some parents feel it is the only way to keep their baby safe. To answer the need, several major children's clothing lines have begun selling 100% cotton pajamas treated with a flame retardant chemical called PROBAN.
PROBAN is made from a chemical called tetrakis hydromethyl phosphonium chlorida - or THPC. This chemical is added to the finishes stages of the garment, allowing the flame retardant molecules to penetrate the fabric and form a water insoluble polymer to form. The cotton remains soft but if the fabric comes into contact with the flame, it will extinguish itself.
While studies have shown that there is a low migration of these chemicals from fabric to skin, there is speculation that THPC causes genetic abnormalities, as well as damage to the liver and nervous system, and promotes the growth of cancerous tumor. As such, the safety of its use in the manufacturing process is in question. Because of these unanswered questions, parents wonder about the safety of fabrics treated with PROBAN.
Your Options
In lieu of purchasing baby pajamas treated with this chemical, parents are purchasing snug-fitting baby pajamas made from cotton, organic cotton, wool, bamboo, and Sherpa, or wearable fleece blankets and sleep sacks.
Until we know for sure the risk involved with the use of PROBAN, parents should purchase with caution and consider other alternatives.

We have been telling you for two months about the hearing. The city says a board of citizens will decide if the Lubbock police department followed proper procedure when they denied Charles Westlund his operating permit in August.
The Permits and Licensing Board is set to hear the case on Baby Dolls Friday morning. The police department denied the owner Westlund of California his operating permit because he failed to give complete information on his application regarding his criminal history. It was later discovered Westlund has two felony convictions out of California.
"If the permits and licensing appeals board upholds denial for the permit for the new owner, then the business would be closed," said Tom Martin, Lubbock City Councilman. Martin has been following this case closely.
If the board decides the police department did not follow procedure when reviewing Westlund's application, then the city says Westlund could have another chance at filling out a new application.
The hearing starts at 8:00 a.m. Friday at Lubbock City Hall.

Deji Karim quickly accelerated as the seam suddenly appeared in front of him.
The back-up running back was working as a valet, parking cars at a hotel, before he was re-signed by the Indianapolis Colts on Dec. 11.
On Sunday, with the Colts trailing the Houston Texans for the first time all game, Karim resembled one of the dragsters that greets fans as they enter the main gate at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Southern Illinois product ran forward on a straight line, rapidly pulling away from the entire Texans' coverage team. When he stopped 101 yards later, the only thing missing was a parachute popping from the back of his jersey to slow him down as he entered the end zone.
Karim's return was the longest in the franchise's Indianapolis history and tied for fourth in team annals overall. The late third-quarter score also gave the Colts (11-5) a lead they never relinquished in a 28-16 upset of the Texans (12-4).
"All week we had been preaching it," Karim said. "[Marwan Maalouf], the special teams coordinator, had been telling us we were going to get one and just to prepare for it. We ran the return, and it just split open. I mean, I've got to give all the credit to all my blockers on kickoff return. They got the job done.
"They've been doing it every week, and I kept telling them over and over again that we were going to get this. They stayed patient with me, opened it up for me and I just took it for six. It's all a credit to them."
Karim's return halted Houston's short-lived momentum, after the Texans had taken the lead for the only time.
"It's great to see Deji Karim coming in and house call, 101-yard kickoff return," QB Andrew Luck said. "That's so uplifting for a team."
Karim was one of several late-season additions who made big plays for Indianapolis on Sunday.
With two starters — nose tackle Anthony Johnson and defensive end Cory Redding — missing along the defensive line, the Colts still managed to hold running back Arian Foster to 96 yards — nearly 70 fewer than he'd gained in a win two weeks ago in Houston — and sack quarterback Matt Schaub four times.
Three of those sacks came from players named Clifton Geathers, Lawrence nGuy and Jamaal Westerman who were street free agents — like Karim — earlier this season.
"Threw a sack party," outside linebacker Robert Mathis said. "I was kind of mad I wasn't invited to it, but I'm just happy to see the guys have fun and get the win."
Not all the team's familiar faces were shut out.
Outside linebacker Dwight Freeney picked up his fifth sack of the season in what might have been the final home game of his storied Indianapolis career. Freeney will be a free agent after the season, and the team has given little indication about his future.
"I don't know what's going to happen," Freeney said. "If that was it, it's been a great ride in this building. We will worry about that when it's time to worry about that."
Karim helps Colts head full speed into playoffs

Art moves people — or rather, people move art, if
Peter Markey has anything to say about it. For
years he's been building his automata: brightly
colored and minimally carved wooden figures rigged
with handmade cranks and gears, waiting to be
brought to life. At the turn of a wooden dowel, two
statues side by side become lovers stealing a kiss,
or a boat moves across wooden waves.

Markey says his childhood belonged to a different
era. "There was no television," he says. "The time
was filled with made-up games and making things."
Girls knitted and crocheted, and boys had hobbies.
Even then, Markey was drawn to wood, carving
pipes for his father, egg cups for his mother, and
toy soldiers for himself. Raised in wartime England,
he understood the value of using what you had.
Now a retired art teacher in his 70s, slightly deaf
and ill-disposed toward computers, Markey's
subjects have developed along with his style. His >> Paper automatons:
current project is a series of figures inspired by global >> Peter Markey Exhibition:
warming, featuring pedal-powered helicopters and Markey's works in action:
one- or two-wheeled cycles. He also fashions paper handmade_markey
cutout versions of his models — right down to paper
gears — giving non-mechanical-minded folks a
chance to build automata of their own.
He's never claimed to be a master craftsman. In
fact, he does as little carving as possible; his models
abound with straight lines, triangles, and rectangles.
He chooses only soft woods, so that all he needs to
do is cut the pieces to size for arms, legs, boats, and
birds. Then he paints everything in bright colors,
as a rebellion against a time when plain wood was
all the rage. The end result is a 3D masterpiece,
anywhere from 2 inches to more than a foot high.
For Markey, it's all about design. "Art, like everything else, is solving problems," he says. "The
main question is, what can I leave out? What is the
simplest and easiest solution?"

Highlights from the Duluth vs. North Gwinnett football game in which the Bulldogs defeated the Wildcats 42-28.
As of Saturday, October 6, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
SUWANEE -- Nothing comes easy in Region 7-AAAAAA football. Just ask North Gwinnett head coach Bob Sphire.
Facing Duluth in a critical region game for both teams, North (4-1, 2-1) built an early lead and then fended off a furious rally by the Wildcats to secure a 42-28 win on Friday night at Tom Robinson Memorial Stadium.
North quarterback Michael Haynes used both his arm and his legs in helping North pull away, throwing for one touchdown and rushing for two more.
"Haynes made some key plays for us tonight," Sphire said. "He's become real comfortable in running the offense and is really dangerous with his feet."
Haynes threw for 94 yards on 12 of 19 attempts with one TD and rushed for two more, tallying 142 yards on the ground on 12 carries.
His first rushing score came early in the second on a 4-yard run, but it was his second score on the ground that finally put the game away for North.
Duluth cut the score to 35-28 with 3:05 left when Thad Bell connected with Gregory Blackshear on an 11-yard TD pass.
Duluth then attempted an onside kick and recovered it but the official ruled that the ball only went nine yards, giving North possession with just over three minutes left.
Three plays later, Haynes scrambled out of the pocket and raced 45 yards for the TD, effectively putting the game out of reach with 2:11 left.
The play of Duluth quarterback Bell was part of the reason that run was needed as Bell hit 17 of 26 passes for 211 yards.
What made Bell's night even more remarkable was that he didn't even start under center. That job went to Tyler Campbell, who notched the first score of the night on an 81-yard run in the first quarter.
However, a concussion in the second quarter put Campbell out, forcing Bell to play under center.
"We came back in the second half and did an outstanding job," Duluth head coach Corey Jarvis said. "I knew we were going to have to throw the ball and Bell did a great job. We just couldn't stop them on offense."
After Campbell's run put Duluth up 7-0, North scored the next 28 points, getting a 2-yard TD pass from Haynes, a 4-yard scoring run from Haynes and a 7-yard run from Cam Lewis.
The lead was extended in the third quarter when Nick Andryusky plunged in from 1 yard out, but Bell began Duluth's comeback with a 52-yard TD pass to Jordan Dandridge.
North still held a comfortable 28-14 lead when Hayden Sphire led the Bulldogs on another scoring drive, ending with a 10-yard TD pass to Brown, his second of the night.
But Bell engineered two more scoring drives for Duluth (2-4, 1-3), hooking up with Dandridge on a 15-yard strike, followed by Blackshear's 11-yard TD catch to cut the margin to 35-28.
Dandridge had a huge night receiving, catching seven passes for two TDs and 126 yards. North was led in receiving by Brown with six catches and two scores for 60 yards.

Microsoft + Nokia = Google + Motorola
The title pretty much says it. I believe it's a fair comparison. I think they'll operate in a similar manner. Nokia will still remain its own company, but will have to go through Microsoft before it releases anything, and Microsoft will work with Nokia collaboratively on some devices (Surface Phone ~ Moto X... Lumia ~ everything else).
