The funeral services for 17 year old Blake Romes and 14 year old Blaine Romes began this morning with young pallbearers carrying their caskets into the church. The brothers were students at Ottawa-Glandorf High School and Ottawa Elementary School. Buses from the district brought several students to the service. Many of those in attendance wore ribbons in remembrance of the teens. The mass was followed by burial at the church cemetery.
The bodies of the brothers were found on Thursday in Ottawa. An amber alert was issued earlier in the day for the boys along with a third teen-- Michael Fay.
Fay was found in Columbus and later pleaded not guilty in juvenile court to a grand theft auto charge. Additional charges could still be filed.

I watched the game last night and it was a pleasure to watch. Love and Millicic looked really good together. Al was terrible.
It looks like Al doesn't impact the game is he doesn't score. Millicic looked like he impacted the game with just is presence. Passing, rebounds, screens and generally being in the right place at the right time. He looked really winded through most of the game but if he could give us that each night, I think that we'd all be happy with the center position.
I loved the play where he showed and chased the Thunder guard at the 3 pt line. Our other bigs don't seem to be athletic enough to do that. Hollins doesn't know how to play so that doesn't count. I was very impressed with Darko's passing even if it didn't result in an assist.
I hope that he decides that Minnesota is a good place and stays for 3-4 M. Certainly a better player than Hollins. Even if we draft a big like cousins or whiteside, I think that it would take them time to develop so it's nice to have a veteran big. Kinda like Prizbilla and Oden in Portland.
I would like to see Love and Millicic starting with Al coming off the bench and see how well that works.

New claims linking Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe to Wendy Sewell case rejected by police
6:00am Thursday 16th January 2014 in News
Police have rejected claims that Yorkshire Ripper Peter Sutcliffe could be linked to a murder case which led to a wrongful conviction.
Stephen Downing had his conviction for the murder of Wendy Sewell, in Derbyshire in 1973, quashed on appeal.
Now, former newspaper editor Don Hale, who campaigned for Mr Downing, has called for the case to be reinvestigated after a retired police officer claimed new evidence could link the killing to Bradford lorry driver Sutcliffe.
But Derbyshire Police yesterday insisted there was no evidence to connect Sutcliffe with the murder.
A spokesman said: "Speculation about the case will no doubt cause Mrs Sewell's surviving relations more heartache."
The spokesman said the appeal had found the conviction unsafe as a result of procedural mistakes in the original investigation, but the case was now closed and officers were unable to eliminate Stephen Downing as a suspect.

This is a type of drug that belongs to an entirely different class of pharmaceutical products called eugeroics. It is available in drugstores or you can order modafinil online, though the latter option is preferred as it is cheaper to buy it online. Modafinil is allowed in several countries including in the US, Canada and India, modafinil India is sold by many companies in its generic form. It is easier to access modafinil online than offline and at the same time they get the products at rates which are much cheaper than the ones offered at drug stores. Many pharmaceutical giants manufacture modafinil in India. It is commonly known as modalert in the country. Another type of drug to look out for in the same genre is provigil.

It does not work by itself but when it is administer into the human body at regular doses, it converts itself into a drug. Now, buy adrafinil online can provide you an easier way and you can take this drug as per your need.

So I was checking this out:
and it made me incredibly mad that we did not do more in the offseason, be it through adding players in the Draft or making any other moves. There were some things to be had, and we blew it.
When you look at players lost section, you will notice that our slot is empty. Is there any other reason to continue to hang onto such futility?! We can rehash all the individual problems but nothing has driven me crazier than seeing the crap that is still on this roster, while other teams got stronger. We would be the worst team in the West!
Time to cut McBob, Solo, and I'd be okay with cutting an injured Price. Then with those three spots create a revolving door of DLeaguers until we find one that sticks and become an asset. There are players more appealing in the DLeague anyway. We could probably find someone serviceable to the Point (I'm looking at Marcus Williams, Will Conroy, Will Blalock, Gabe Pruitt etc).
Next, move Dahntay and Rush. I'm tired of hearing good perimeter defenders. I'll show you 30 in the DLeague/Overseas, who would love to be in the NBA, that guard better for a whole lot cheaper.
Lastly, if we can't get value for Murph/Ford/Dunleavy, we need to buy them out and save money. Who cares if we lose, I want pick number 1 or 2 for the next couple of years. Give me another Franchise guy with Granger and we could be competitive in the next five years.
This offseason, more than anything, makes me believe that the Indy Pacers will be somewhere else in the near future. Why else would a team covet this future flexibility in their cap, when they know it just means more crap until players are brought in, over a long period of time, to make the team competitive. The may things are being handled is starting to look more and more with how the Sonics became the Thunder.

MARINHA GRANDE, PORTUGAL (Oct. 24, 2:30 p.m. ET) — Portugal's long-established plastics mold-making industry is busy with work and realizing a sharp rise in product exports, mostly to new and emerging markets, from its efforts a few years ago to retool itself. Four years ago the sector's local leaders founded the private, nonprofit Pool-Net Association to manage the Portuguese Engineering & Tooling Cluster.

U.S. demand for extruded plastics is expected to grow by 3 percent in 2014, with PVC remaining the largest segment.
Plastic pipe will post the strongest gains through 2018, continuing to take market share from competing materials in a range of markets.
Our latest market report provides in-depth analysis of current trends and their financial impact on the pipe, profile and tubing extrusion industry in North America.

I'm having trouble getting the social media links to work. Any thoughts?
Just tested and you're right, there is a small problem with this. I've fixed it and submit an update right now. Contact me via email and I will send the files directly to you. So, you don't have to wait too much.
Thank you.
Template is now updated.
Hi, great theme but for me it would be more suitable if I could use it on my asp mvc web site. Is it possible to buy it and legaly create a website on the basis of this theme (eg. removing tumblr parts or use only CSS styles)? I have no experience with themes for tumblr so maybe my question is trival
This theme is for Tumblr and I think it will be hard to convert to a website template, beacause all what you get in download package is a html file with inline css and js/images hosted on Tumbr.com
I started it on my localhost and finished on Tumblr.com, so, I can't offer you a html version for this template.
I'm interested in this theme, but it seems to not be responsive in IE8. Have you noticed this issue?
Responsive is for mobile/tablet borwsers not for desktopts. The fact that it is resiable in Chrome, Firefox and other modern browers is because they have support for media-queries and Internet Explorer doesn't.
So, don't worry too much about IE8 because I'm sure that you'll never find a mobile devive which run IE8.
I want to buy this theme but I'm not sure if it supports an "about me' section and if the Smartik sign will stay up there in the top left? Help
As you can see in the demo, it has an "About me" section.
Hey, this theme doesn`t work in my tumblr. I followed your documentation steps, but after the last step it just show some words. Is it a html code? It seems as it is just a java code?!
Show me the link to your site. Write it here or on my mail: smartik89[at]gmail.com
I sent you an email. Thanks in advance for your help!
Thanks for helping me so fast!

Living The Dream...
Oct. 6, 2004
Every baseball player who has put on a glove and laced up his cleats has aspirations to make it to the major leagues, let alone play for a World Series contender. For former JU pitchers Juan Padilla and Nick Regilio, a pair of dreams came true when the duo had their contracts purchased by the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers, respectively, and found themselves in the heart of the American League pennant race during the summer of 2004.
Padilla, a relief pitcher from Levittown, Puerto Rico, was called up on July 16 and pitched in six games for the Yankees before being released and claimed off waivers by the Cincinnati Reds on Sept. 3. Padilla was originally drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 24th round of the 1998 MLB Amateur Draft and was acquired by the Yankees in 2003 in the deal that sent Jesse Orosco to Minnesota. The righthander spent the first two weeks of the 2004 season with the Trenton Thunder (AA) in the Eastern League before making the jump to the Columbus Clippers (AAA) in the International League on April 17.
A member of the Dolphin program from 1997-98, Padilla posted a 0-0 record and a 3.97 ERA in six appearances out of the bullpen for the Yankees. On July 19 when New York faced the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, an entourage of Dolphin faithful drove to Tropicana Field in Tampa to see the former Dolphin hurl a little more than one inning of scoreless relief. After the game, Yankees manager Joe Torre said he was impressed with the righthander's "unflappability". Since joining the Reds in the National League, Padilla has appeared in 15 games out of the bullpen.
Regilio, a starting pitcher from Deltona, Fla., originally made his debut at Fenway Park against the Red Sox with an inning out of the bullpen before being recalled on July 22 after the all-star break. With the Rangers, who are a surprise contender for the American League West crown in 2004, Regilio was a regular fixture in the starting rotation until a shoulder injury prematurely ended his season. The righthander appeared in six games for the Rangers, including four starts, and finished with a 0-4 record and a 6.05 ERA in 16.1 innings.
A member of the Dolphin squad from 1998-99, Regilio was drafted by the Texas Rangers in the second round of the 1999 MLB Amateur Draft and then advanced his way through the minors. Despite battling tendonitis and shoulder surgery, Regilio finally landed with the Oklahoma RedHawks (AAA) in the Pacific Coast League before getting his first call to the majors.
"It can all be a blur," Regilio said in a telephone interview with the Florida-Times Union about his minor league career. "You just try to stay focused through all the ups and downs because one day your chance will come."

SEATTLE (AP) -- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is proposing a revision in the critical habitat designation for a species of lynx listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
The proposal would designate more than 41,000 square miles as critical habitat within the states of Maine, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Washington and Wyoming for the Canada lynx.
As part of this proposal, federal officials are considering excluding more than 1,900 square miles of tribal lands within the states of Maine, Montana and Washington.
The new critical habitat adds some land as well, including some private timber lands in northern Maine, as well as Bureau of Land Management and National Park Service land in northeastern Wyoming. The lynx have been protected since 2000.
The Center for Biological Diversity is applauding the Fish and Wildlife proposal, saying the extra space could help the rare wildcat whose population has been reduced by trapping and habitat loss.

Mergers & Acquisitions
Corporate - Insight
The way to build strengths through M&As
K. V. Ramesh
A variety of acquisition stories are doing the rounds in the media. Here are a few thoughts that could be handy in understanding the M&A domain.
The facilitators of the M&A process spend more time on the financials and projected cash flows to arrive at a value to complete the transaction. The acquiring company is interested in non-financial facts that could impact the performance of the acquired company. It is thus equally desirable to spend quality time on such non-financial parameters.
There are a variety of reasons for engaging in acquisitions. The integration of the acquired unit leads to success only when our actions match these intents. These are:
What are we seeking with the acquisition? Many a time, the acquisition yields results through improved capabilities, technology, brand position, and so on. It is worthwhile for the acquiring entity to ask some questions before deciding on any unit:
Where does value come from? Is it process efficiency, asset turnover, ability to expand (financial leverage) in new areas, or a combination?
Strategy map
It is desirable to have answers on the what, why, where, when, and how questions to find a strategy fit with the proposed acquisition.
What: Value generation and delivery infrastructure
Why: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs security and/or recognition needs
Where: Leadership in demanding markets
When: Towards portfolio balance
How: With value fit, integration, and institutionalisation
Identifying target companies is normally done through accounting firms as they are considered to have a broader knowledge of the markets. However, before engaging them, a framework needs to be developed to filter the lists generated by them. A sample of filters worth looking into are:
This is an area the views and issues are varied. Typical parameters for evaluation include customer, capital, brand, financials and liabilities. In addition, a few more parameters on the intangibles would add value:
There are many experts one can consult with to obtain legal and environment clearances, arrive at transaction value based on EBITDA/WACC vs. Market-cap, book-value, etc., structuring the transaction in terms of cash, stock, swap, etc., and negotiating for equitable gains to both the parties.
M&A in the economies that are comparable to India are as good as domestic acquisitions, and the issues are fewer. While venturing into acquisitions in the developed economies, the challenges are psychological and not just business-related.
Many would resist a new boss (parent company) from an economy that is not at par with their economy. Often, businesses are bought based on brand, technology and, importantly, by future cash flows.
If half (or a significant number) of the management team decides to leave, what value will remain with the business?
The challenges of making it work multiply with the acquisition as the expectations run high from every corner. The role of the integrating agent will remain under the microscope until the objectives are met to everyone's satisfaction.
To ensure single-point accountability, the acquired unit should be viewed as a subsidiary of the parent, and one business head should be appointed from the parent company. Communication with the members of the acquired unit should be structured and measured to get the best synergies from the teams.
A quick audit should be done to reach the members of the management team and ensure consistent performance and effective people management.
Reassurances must be given (maybe in writing, with the necessary caveats) to retain them through the integration process.
High-performing employees would typically expect independence and continued respect. Guaranteeing this, within the framework of the overall strategy, would go a long way in making the integration process smooth.
The members of the management team who do not fall under the above category should be eased out at the earliest to minimise/eliminate the spread of negative energy. This activity should be done in one go and not spread over time. Nobody likes to have bitter medicine more than once!
Share with the team (remaining members of the management) the objectives of the acquisition, set the expectations, the measures, and develop the timetable with milestones to track integration. Involving them in creating the timetable would secure buy-in.
The synergy of the acquisition will be decided by the communication to the markets, customers, and other stakeholders.
Often, internal acceptance is faster than the external acceptance. For example, HP acquired Compaq but the market sees the products differently.
The Compaq products that competed with HP prior to the acquisition are viewed a notch below by the market, leading to value erosion.
To gain market acceptance on the value delivered, joint positioning of the brands (basically kill one of the two brands) is needed, with changes to product design, ergonomics, and support systems.
If mergers are on the cards, then compensation parity and management team rotation between the acquirer and the acquired is a must to gain synergy and bring about a unified culture.
Often, the experience gained from one acquisition is not captured or documented as part of knowledge management to leverage at the time of future acquisitions.
Just like post-implementation audits on projects, audits on acquisitions would highlight the lessons learned and add value to the organisation and ensure the prevention of the same mistakes being committed.
After all, a learning system is not expected to make the same mistake twice!

Every once in a while the Bleacher Report writing staff will actually come up with something insightful and intelligent regarding the Raiders, sort of like the 50/50 gamble you get with the RealFootball365 guys. Today's article from Bleacher Report is an excellent one:
If one word came to mind to describe JaMarcus Russell's physical attributes, it would be "wow." However, he has a way to go in terms of getting to that next level that last years rookies Matt Ryan and Joe Flacco didn't take long getting too (both of them did have better players around them, however).
The Raiders, the franchise that drafted JaMarcus Russell No. 1 overall in the 2007 NFL draft, have decided to give him a coach to take him to that next level.
Paul Hackett, who was hired prior to last season to run special projects for Oakland coaching staff, has been promoted to quarterbacks coach for the Raiders.
A great offensive mind, Hackett has had success working with quarterbacks, as well as NFL offenses during his lustrous coaching career. He has been known not only as a great offensive mind, but as a great preparation coach.
Before Hackett came aboard in Oakland, he helped progress Bruce Gradkowski (recently signed by Oakland), Chris Simms, and Jeff Garcia for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers working as their quarterbacks coach from 2005-'07.
Before that he worked as offensive coordinator for the New York Jets from 2001-2004. He helped guide the Jets to the playoffs three out of the four seasons he was with them.
There, he tutored Chad Pennington, who currently holds the best completion percentage (66.0) rating in NFL history, besting even Steve Young (64.3) and Kurt Warner (65.4).
Some of Hackett's most memorable work was when he worked with the Kansas City Chiefs as their offensive coordinator from 1993-1997, helping them win 57 games during that span.
The Chiefs made the playoffs four out of the five seasons he was there, winning two AFC West Championships (1995, 1997).
Hackett tutored former Raiders MVP quarterback Rich Gannon during that time when they both were in Kansas City, before he later signed with and soon became a star in Oakland.
Former Raiders Head Coach Jon Gruden took Hackett's advice on Gannon before signing him, "Paul Hackett was a great resource for me and I leaned on his input," Gruden said to the St. Petersburg times (2005).
"Kansas City went with Elvis Garbac, Gannon was free to look elsewhere and Paul Hackett's advice and his reference to Gannon was very strong in my opinion. He was dead on."
Gannon had this to say back in 2002 when he and the Raiders faced the Jets on Monday Night Football on Hackett, "Paul Hackett had a tremendous impact on my career," Gannon told the NY Daily News. "He really taught me the system of football. He really molded me. I feel like he made me into the quarterback I am today."
Hackett was also a part of the San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl XIX 18-1 football team. He spent three seasons there (1983-85) working as their quarterback, wide receiver, and tight ends coach.
In 2000, when Joe Montana was giving his Hall of Fame Enshrinement speech, he made a note to thank all that helped him in his historical career:
"Paul, if anyone knows Paul Hackett, a workaholic. Work you to death and prepare you to death so that when you got in the game you didn't say 'God, I didn't know about that.'"
Another bit from Montana, "Over the years I've been fortunate to have had some great individual coaches, and Paul is one of the best," Montana said to the St. Petersburg times (2005).
"He is one of the hardest workers and a perfectionist in everything he does. Paul is easy to work with as a quarterback, and he understands the little parts of the game because he has been there."
Russell started to show significant progress last year during the last few games, as he threw six touchdowns to two interceptions. He started to look off receivers, felt comfortable stepping into the pocket, as well as having better touch and scrambling when needed.
Russell started to progress most noticeably when former Raiders starting left tackle Kwame Harris was benched, as he was often beat in pass protection if not called for a penalty.
When Harris was indeed benched, second year player Mario Henderson stepped in nicely and kept Russell clean, allowing progress to begin.
Russell's biggest problem last year was his accuracy issues and touch on the football. He often had overthrown or under thrown his receivers, also putting too much power into his passes at times making it difficult for receivers to hold on.
Hackett brings invaluable experience to the table for the Oakland Raiders. He has been watching Russell for a year now, so he probably has a good idea what to work on and where to go with Russell from here on out.
Last year the Raiders quarterback threw thirteen touchdowns and eight interceptions, with a passer rating of 77.1 and a 53.8 percent completion rating. Look for Hackett to improve those numbers significantly.
If you look at what Russell has to work with going into the 2009 regular season, it's not too shabby. The running game should be better with a healthy Darren McFadden, and will also include third year player Michael Bush and veteran back Justin Fargas.
Young receivers Johnnie Lee Higgins and Chaz Schillens seemed to catch on late last year with Russell, and Javon Walker will be back to prove people wrong that say he's done.
Don't forget Russell's favorite target Zach Miller, who looks like he may be close to a pro bowl if he won't have to stay in on pass protection as much.
The talent and coaching is there for Russell, and with the NFL Draft coming up in less then a month he should have another young receiver to work with, maybe even a talent like Texas Tech's receiver Michael Crabtree if he's available when the Raiders pick seventh overall.
Russell seems poised and ready to get to work as its been reported he has shown up for the offseason workout program. Getting to know and work with his new quarterback coach should be priority, as well as staying in shape and letting everyone know you are the leader of this football team.
Consistency is key here too, as Russell needs to keep up that groove he started with the young receivers last year.
JaMarcus Russell is going to have one of the best coaches in the league at his side from here on out, and it's going to show through his play. Paul Hackett has helped guide quarterbacks such as Joe Montana, Rich Gannon, and Chad Pennington in his coaching career, and they both speak highly of him.
Paul Hackett will not only clean up Russell's game and make him a better quarterback, but will provide great insight to the offensive game-plan, as well as Ted Tollner (Raiders passing game coordinator).
Raiders should get everything they hope they will get out of promoting Hackett to be Russell's quarterback coach, and probably more.
Come September, JaMarcus Russell will be the most prepared player on the field for the Oakland Raiders, who hope he will be he best player on the field, too.
We can only hope that JaMarcus Russell, Ted Tollner, and Paul Hackett create an excellent rapport that continues Russell's development to properly utilize the young offensive weapons we are trying to put around him.
Completely unrelated to that issue, I also wanted to introduce you to my newest late round draft sleeper:
Eastern Michigan LB Daniel Holtzclaw.
Unlike Jasper Brinkley, I can't take credit for being out in front of this one, as evidenced by our AFC West rival Chiefs and Broncos boards already catching on to this guy. All the same, Holtzclaw's athletic ability and production in college cannot be ignored, and he would be an absolute steal for a team late in the draft.
Notes from his Pro Day:
Holtzclaw measured 6006/242-pounds, posted a 32-inch vertical jump, 9'6'' broad jump and completed 33-reps on the bench. His forty times were slightly disappointing at 4.81-to-4.88 but Holtzclaw's shuttle times were terrific.
His short shuttle was timed at 4.31-seconds, 60-yard shuttle at 11.48-seconds and 3-cone 6.86-seconds. This surprised many on hand as Holtzclaw is considered a downhill linebacker and lateral movement is not his forte'.
He looked terrific in position drills and had a frame which was described by one scout as iron clad. The New York Jets, Houston Texans and New York Giants sent scouts to watch Holtzclaw.
Apparently playing for Eastern Michigan isn't doing him any favors with his draft stock; he is ranked dead last on DraftCountdown for inside linebackers. I don't see it though, because in 47 games the guy racked up 456 tackles...that's right, not a typo...456 tackles. Furthermore, if he had been invited to the Combine he would have been in the top 5 of all linebackers in most of the categories, including bench press, 3-cone drill, short shuttle, etc. Though the Raiders lack 5th or 6th round picks, if this guy is still there in the 7th by some miracle, how do you not pick him up?

The origin of the Christmas carol we know as Silent Night was a poem that was written in 1816 by an Austrian priest called Joseph Mohr. On Christmas Eve in 1818 in the small alpine village called Oberndorf it is reputed that the organ at St. Nicholas Church had broken. Joseph Mohr gave the poem of Silent Night (Stille Nacht) to his friend Franz Xavier Gruber and the melody for Silent Night was composed with this in mind. The music to Silent Night was therefore intended for a guitar and the simple score was finished in time for Midnight Mass. Silent Night is the most famous Christmas carol of all time!

After last year's thrilling Patriot League Championship game with Lehigh, Bucknell entered the 2012-2013 season with high expectations. They began the season with a pair of five point victories at Purdue and home against George Mason, followed by three wins of fifteen or more points.
They sat at 5-0 going into Thanksgiving break and a matchup at Penn State, but the defensive struggle resulted in a 60-57 loss for the Bison. They shot 39% from the field, but held Penn State to only 38%. The Bison went on to win eight of the next nine games, with the loss coming at Princeton. They had quality wins over La Salle and Kent State.
The next game was their first bonafide showdown of the year, as they traveled to Columbia to face the Missouri Tigers. After a hard fought battle in which Mike Muscala put up 25 points and 14 rebounds, the Bison lost a heartbreaker, 66-64. With a four point lead at halftime, they were controlling All-American guard Phil Pressey, as well as Co-SEC Preseason player of the year Lawrence Bowers. This loss was tough for the Bison, but a great way to show that they are a force to be reckoned with.
They continued their dominance throughout Patriot League play, winning their record-setting third straight outright Patriot League Championship. They finished league play with a 12-2 record, with losses coming at home to Lehigh and at Lafayette, the 2nd and 3rd place teams, by a combined 4 points. Four of their losses were by a combined 9 points. The loss at Princeton was by 12, on a night when Princeton shot 51% from the field and 44% from the arc.
All in all, the Bison have showed that they are a very experienced team, and if it wasn't for hot shooting by Princeton and some missed shots in the final minutes of other games, the Bison could be undefeated. Bucknell is also used to being underrated. They pulled off one of the greatest upsets of all time in the NCAA Tournament when they knocked off #3 seed Kansas in 2005.
With NBA Draft Prospect Mike Muscala at Center, all teams will have their hands full. Mike is currently averaging 19 points and 11 rebounds per game. He has showed his dominance all year, especially against Missouri's big man Alex Orhiaki, another NBA prospect. Cameron Ayers and Bryson Johnson are the sharpshooters, who collectively shoot above 41% from 3-point range. Senior Joe Willman has a great low-post game, as well as a great mid-range shot where he shoots over 48% from the field.
Don't glance past Bucknell on your bracket. If they play to their full capabilities, this Bison squad can shock the world.

UFC Fight Night 36: "Machida vs. Mousasi", from Arena Jaragua in Brazil, has officially wrapped, which means it's time for those select fighters who went above and beyond in their respective fights to get a little extra grease for their efforts.
Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) dished out its standard post-fight monetary bonuses to four of the 24 fighters on the card. And it's probably no surprise who's heading home with a second sack of simoleons.
Errrr... pump the brakes. This is where I remind you the bonus structure has changed since these were last handed out. "Fight of the Night" will still be awarded but the best knockout and submission will no earn any extra cash. Instead, there will be two "Performance of the Night" awards dished out.
Got it? Good.
Tonight, the Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi main event, which saw "The Dragon" defeat "The Armenian Assassin" via unanimous decision, was awarded "Fight of the Night" while Charles Oliveira (submitted Andy Ogle) and Erick Silva (knocked out Takenori Sato) were hit with "Performance of the Night".
So it ended up working out exactly the way it would have previously.
Here are the special UFC 169 bonuses:
Performance of the Night -- Charles Oliveira
Performance of the Night -- Erick Silva
Fight of the Night -- Lyoto Machida vs. Gegard Mousasi
Again, each fighter received $50,000 extra for their performances in addition to their respective base salaries, which we will pass along as soon as that information becomes available.

Hello and welcome to my own private delusion.
I say "delusion" for a number of reasons, which include:
The site is still in development as you may notice, and I expect it will be for the entirety of the current incarnation. Aside from what's currently in the menu (whose options, design, and location could change at any moment), I plan to add several other sections (Hah!), one of which will hopefully be a blog.
Feel free to look around and see what there is to see, but don't get too comfortable. And stop back often to what's changing. At least that's what I would advise if anyone were reading this, which you're not.

Some of the comedians where really funny (about 2 or 3) but the rest werent so good in my opinion. There were a total of 12 I believe. Still a fun night out and for the price it was a deal, but I think its a hit or miss when seeing random comics.

Jordan Mein has been on a tear of late, and it was only a matter of time before he got scooped up by a major organization. That organization turned out to be Strikeforce. MMA Junkie has it:
Top Canadian prospect Jordan Mein (22-7 MMA, 0-0 SF) is Strikeforce-bound.
MMAJunkie.com has confirmed with sources close to the promotion that Mein has signed a four-fight deal with the organization and is expected to debut at an as-yet-unannounced Sept. 10 event.
Mein was nominated for best fighter of the first half of 2011 in the prestigious Bloody Elbow MMA Awards because of his 4-0 record in the first six months of 2011. The 21-year-old has defeated the likes of Joe Riggs, Josh Burkman, and Dream welterweight champion Marius Zaromskis so far this year, and is on a five-fight winning streak overall.
In the vein of UFC prospect Rory MacDonald, Mein started his amateur career at 14 and turned pro at 16. His first pro fight just happened to be against the aforementioned MacDonald, who was a grizzled veteran by then at 17 with two pro fights under his belt. Mein was submitted by MacDonald and ended up starting his career 3-4 overall. Since then though, he's gone 19-3 and has earned his place in the spotlight. His father Lee Mein is an active pro fighter as well who has faced the likes of Jeff Monson and Dan Severn in his 11 year career.

STATE COLLEGE — The new State College Food Bank looks like a minimarket.
There are shopping carts and baskets for clients to use when picking up their items. And with a new location comes an entirely new vision for the local nonprofit.
This includes a new way to service the area and a new name. Its no longer called the Food Bank of the State College Area.
When we found a permanent home, we wanted to do it right, said Executive Director Carol Pioli.
Space was found for its new location at 1321 S. Atherton St. in April 2013; it was formerly Paul & Tonys Stereo, Pioli said. The lease was signed in September, and plans went to the borough for approval in November.
After renovations and three weeks of moving from 276 W. Hamilton Ave., the food bank opened on April 1.
Its a world of difference here, Pioli said. We were only supposed to be at Hamilton Avenue temporarily, but it ended up being years.
The food bank was housed there since 2007, after moving from St. Andrews Episcopal Church when it outgrew the space.
The food bank moved from a facility downtown that was only 1,400 square feet to what is now 4,800 square feet with renovations that include a grocery area, freezer storage room, warehouse, waiting room and administrative offices.
The new facility costs about $900,000, Pioli said. The food bank was able to make a down payment on the building last year and is relying on donations to keep those payments up.
Families are eligible to shop at the food bank once every 30 days.
The food bank is a volunteer-driven organization with 65 regular volunteers, including Bonnie Tkach, who has been with the organization for more than a year and others call a Jane of all trades when it comes to responsibilities.
There is a huge need in our community that people dont understand or realize, she said.
The number of families served from April 2013 to April 2014 was up by 50, Pioli said. Last month, the food bank served 279 families. According to statistics from the food bank, 37 percent of the people it serves are under the age of 18. Annually, the food bank serves about 2,200.
But the food distribution process has changed.
Prior to moving to the new location, volunteers would bring grocery bags of food to families in need. Now, eligible families are able to go to the facility and shop with a volunteer grocery assistant. Theyre eligible for a certain amount of each item based on household size, Pioli said.
Most households the food bank serves are those with one or two people living there, but Pioli said the food bank also serves a family of 11.
The distribution operation changed to the client choice model, which gives clients the option to choose the food they like and what fits the family diet, Pioli said.
People can choose rather than be given bags, Pioli said. This minimizes taking things that would be of waste to them if they dont like the food, and more accommodating to peoples diets who need gluten-free or have diabetes.
Pioli said the food bank is working on future initiatives to enhance its mission. That includes expanding services by teaming up with nutrition students from Penn State who can meet with families about the food they should be consuming. Its also working to provide fresh milk to families instead of boxed milk.
We want to provide the best for people, Pioli said.
The State College Food Bank is partnered with the food pantries in Philipsburg, Snow Shoe, Howard, Bellefonte Faith Centre, Centre Hall and Aaronsburg.
The facility is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday to serve clients and take donations.

The ABC 8News StormTracker team is tracking a weather system that will drench Central Virginia on Thursday and early Friday, before giving way to a pleasant weekend.Most of the region is under a 5 percent risk of tornadoes on Thursday; there is also a slight risk of severe thunderstorms.
Early-morning sunshine will fade behind clouds during the midday to early afternoon and light rain could develop over the region for the commute home Thursday evening. There is a decent amount of moisture streaming out of the Gulf of Mexico and in the Gulf Coast states that is heading toward Central Virginia. That rain, and possibly thunderstorms, will be over the region late Thursday night into early Friday morning. The rain will come down heavy at times, and many areas could receive between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of rain before it's all done. The rain should come to an end between noon and 4 p.m. Friday and some sunshine will appear late in the day.
The region will see partly sunny skies over the weekend, and it will be cooler and less humid. High temperatures over the weekend will top out in the middle 70s. For the beginning to middle part of next week, there will be partly to mostly sunny skies, with highs in the middle to upper 70s.

Bio and Links
My journey through my family history began as a project in 7th grade. At that point I had some names, and some locations. Through the years I have come to know so much more about these people that allowed me to be here today, and I'm passing those bits of information on to my own children.
When I'm not traipsing through cemeteries taking pictures or looking for my ancestors, I am an elementary school administrator. One of my favorite field trips is one where we take the 2nd graders to a local cemetery to find the "famous" people we've learned about in Fort Collins history. For many of the students, it is their first trip to a cemetery.
This is all about connecting families, and documenting history for future generations. If you have information you'd like me to add to a memorial, just let me know. If you'd like to take over management of any of the people I'm not related to, I'd be glad to transfer management over to you.
**If you notice that some of my pictures are sideways or upside down, I'm guessing you're viewing them on an Apple product. I sometimes will use my iPhone if I don't have my camera with me, and for some reason it rotates pictures even if I rotate and save them correctly.

Dear Judson Rhoads,
Thank you for linking my dear friend Frank with his father. He was a kind young man, quiet, and soft spoken. His smile and soft laugh warmed the hearts of all who knew him. He was talented in shop and loved to set personal challenges to meet. He was a responsible driver, and one day on his way home he took the route home that went down a treacherous hill in the area when his brakes went out. He died in the hospital due to internal injuries he sustained on impact. We were all broken hearted to see him leave this earth so soon and in such a tragic way. He was memorialized in the school yearbook that year. Thank you for watching over his memorial. God bless.
Best Regards,

The death and birth date that you have down for this man do not match my findings. Is it possible for us to ask for a transfer on him? We are 5Chandlers, and I think you know my husband James.
He is not blood related to us, but did marry two sisters that were in the Gatch family tree.

Thank you so much for the photos of John Bateman Batchelder, Ruth McLeod Bateman Batchelder, and Guy Alvin Batchelder's Graves Markers. Without people like you those of us looking to see where our family members rest who live out of state would not be able to do so. God Bless, Lauren

Sanford - Riddell
Thank you for filling my photo requests.
I wasn't sure of JJ Sanford would have a tombstone since the time period of her death was fairly recent, but I do like the area shot of the surrounding stones, which shows me other family stones.
Karen Anne Riddell was an only child and her name was inscribed at the time of her father's death, so no doubt her death date will never be inscribed.
I do appreciate the photos.

RE: Francis Brolliar
You are right about the census, but I did not see it on the SS Death Index. The older children were born in Saline NE and then the two (one before and Francis Emery) were Iowa. I wonder if Emma (the mother) went back to Iowa to have Francis and Fern. The younger brother Maynard was born in NE, again.
I am checking with the family to see if that is what happened. But since the records all show Iowa for F Emery...That would be best to have it listed as such.
Emma and Wm lived in an amazing big house near the LaPorte area. So many of their descendants still are in that same area. Francis Emery is about the only one who left the area for Calif. It looks like he made it home to be near his family after all.
My mother said the Brolliers were related to nearly every one of the early families of FC. I am so surprised to see the present generations on facebook when we posted a photo of this older generation.
Thanks Justin. We needed that checking. I usually do but came up with mostly family records.
What you do is appreciated!

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/13/13 -- Oracle (NASDAQ: ORCL)
News Facts
- In order to help customers increase efficiency, achieve stronger internal controls and improve transparency between book and tax data, Oracle announced Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision allows customers to collect, calculate and report on the consolidated tax provision and more closely align tax with financial reporting.
- Built on the Hyperion Financial Close Suite, Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision is a web-based tax application that addresses the full scope of the global tax provision process.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision replaces the highly manual methods used by most organizations with an automated and standardized process that increases efficiency. Furthermore, it integrates with tax compliance software and improves the overall compliance process by providing a more streamlined book-to-tax process.
- Integrated with Oracle Hyperion Financial Management, Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision is based on the same technology trusted by thousands of finance organizations to ensure the accuracy of financial reporting.
- The calculation of the income tax provision is a key part of an organization's financial close process. Therefore, a stronger alignment of the tax provision with the financial close process benefits both tax and finance by helping to eliminate redundant processes and increasing transparency of the broader financial reporting process.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision helps Oracle, and its partners, add more value for their customers; delivering a more comprehensive solution that helps address the needs of both tax and finance executives.
- Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision is available in North America and the United Kingdom.
Addressing the Corporate Tax Provision
Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision integrates with the Hyperion Financial Close suite and offers the following benefits:
- Efficiency, Speed & Data Integrity: Integration of the tax provision with the financial process helps ensure that tax and finance data reconcile at all times, and eliminates the need for redundant maintenance of data and metadata. This allows tax to always work with the latest financial data. Tax can spend less time on data and more time on analysis.
- Autonomy: Tax can realize the efficiencies of being more closely integrated with the financial close process, but both finance and tax still retain the autonomy that is necessary to meet their individual reporting needs.
- Enterprise-quality Tax Reporting: The corporate tax department is empowered with the same robust reporting tools as used by finance. This allows for easy drill-down and variance reporting (e.g. actual vs. history, actual vs. forecast). It also leads to economies in training and on-boarding new users. This includes both Oracle Hyperion Financial Reporting and Oracle Hyperion Smart View for Office (Microsoft Office Add-in).
- Stronger controls & easier access for users: Regional controllers that submit data to both corporate finance and corporate tax during the financial close can work from the same easy to use interface -- instead of switching between two different solutions. This results in a stronger control environment enabling regional controllers to perform efficiently and quickly -- instead of reconciling data between two separate systems.
- Transparency between book and tax data: Finance has better transparency between book and tax data -- especially for tax journal entry, disclosures and key metrics such as effective tax rate.
Supporting Quotes
- "Today's globalized economy requires more agility and transparency in financial reporting," said Hari Sankar, vice president of product management at Oracle. "Tax provisioning is a key step in the financial close process, yet in most corporations tax and financial reporting are not well integrated. With Oracle Hyperion Tax Provision, customers can use their investments in Oracle Hyperion Financial Management to collect, calculate and report on the global consolidated tax provision, and integrate it with their financial reporting."
- "We believe that a corporate tax provision process that is not closely aligned with the financial reporting process may expose companies to unnecessary risk and inefficiencies. Aligning corporate tax and finance systems may greatly enhance the ability of tax departments to execute their responsibilities more effectively," said Michael J. Johnson, performance management technology leader for Deloitte's Tax Management Consulting Practice.

CORRECTION: This article erroneously stated which business is located on the Northwest corner of the Route 1/Salem Street intersection. It turns out that the Northwest corner is actually the one with the tailor shop and the forthcoming roast beef place (formerly Mr. Santo hair salon).
In the latest edition of Then And Now, we look back at the Lynnfield Hotel. A town historical report found online in a state affordable housing document states that the Lynnfield Hotel was built in 1804, two years before the construction of the Newburyport Turnpike (Route 1). It further reports that the hotel was the first stagecoach stop from Boston. The hotel reportedly burned down in 1894.
Separate research finds a mention of the Lynnfield Hotel in the vintage historical photo book on the town compiled by Warren Fells. According to that book, the hotel was located on the northwest corner of Route 1 and Salem Street, which would place it in the spot currently occupied by the tailor shop and the soon-to-open roast beef place.
The Fells book, one of several local historical resources that can be found in their entirety on Google Books, goes on to report that the "New" Lynnfield Hotel was then constructed in 1896 on the southeast corner of the Newburyport Turnpike (Route 1) and Salem Street. That hotel apparently burned down in 1904.
One interesting detail for local history buffs is that the Civil War training camp, Camp Stanton, was located within an easy walking distance of the Lynnfield Hotel. Camp Stanton occupied the spot where the Peabody Holiday Inn on Route 1 is now located. There was also a long-ago B+M Railroad station at what is now the junction of Routes 1 and 128.

Tarot Card of the Day
The Star
What has traditionally been known as the Star card is about reconnecting one's Soul with the Divine -- the transcending of personality, family, community and reputation. It has to do ultimately with the freedom to be one's Self. The Soul is responding to celestial influences -- forces that can provide the personality with a stronger sense of purpose. The Star card helps us to remember our exalted origins and our attraction to a Higher Union.
This card could also be called the "Celestial Mandate" -- that which refers us back to our reason for being, our mission in this lifetime. The Star reminds us that, in a sense, we are agents of Divine Will in our day-to-day lives. If we let go of the idea that we are supposed to be in control, we can more easily notice and appreciate the synchronicities that are nudging us along. In this way, we become more conscious of the invisible Helping Hand, and we better understand our place within -- and value to -- the larger Cosmos.

I looked at the numbers and wanted to post them for some of the players.
Teahen: 63 ABs, .381/.506/.619, 31 RBIs
Sweeney: 57 ABs, .298/.391/.456, 21 RBIs
Brown: 56 ABs, .339/.377/.589, 27 RBIs
Gordon: 53 ABs, .226/.388/.321, 10 RBIs
Buck: 43 ABs, .233/.308/.465, 13 RBIs
Gload: 27 ABs, .333/.345/.556, 14 RBIs
Sanders: 15 ABs, .333/.444/.600, 7 RBIs
Shealy: 38 ABs, .184/.239/.289, 13 RBIs
Pena: 57 ABs, .298/.328/.439, 16 RBIs
Obviously Shealy is worthless meaning he should bat 8th at the highest and on the bench once Gload is back. Shealy probably won't be on the team next season with Gload elgible for arbitration and Butler coming up.
Enough of Shealy. Look at Brown. That's pretty awesome. Gload too. We need guys like them starting.
Buck isn't that great at all. Maybe he belongs at 6th or 7th in the lineup until he starts to improve in this department.
Gordon has gotten on base, but needs to keep improving his slugging percentage.
Pena has done pretty well too.


text: Being a die hard Redskins fan is not easy... Especially residing in a state like mine (NY).. There are certain places where I'm positive being a fan other then that of the home team is rough. This site is the only place I can talk about my excitement for the upcoming season and not get bashed. I'm always pumped for football season, but this season, and yes it is because of RG3 and all of the other right steps Shanny has taken with this team that I'm pumped even more. Like always I've taken off for the first game of the season. And bet your ass I'll be at some New York bar, with my Sean Taylor jersey... beat up redskins hat... cheering as loud as i can be for the team I bleed for. Redskins Nation, we are heading in the right path, a path that we strayed away from for years. Snyder has finally realized that he has his coach and GM... Every discussion with non redskins fans I get into it with.. Just don't know that it was Vinny Cerato that kept us falling behind.. Snyder may not know football.. But he believes in the personal who work under him, and Cerato... just was not the guy for that job.. As long as we have Allen and Shanny we believe!! I'm sorry I was all over the place on this post, but I'm just that damn excited for this season.. And I have no where else to go to really show it or even talk about it... Hail!!
