Giants find ideal backfield mix
The Giants' recent backfield changes could have had a negative impact on multiple players, but instead it looks like they have found the right mix in which everyone can thrive.
The Giants have signed Ross.||||||| Ross, a former New York No. 1 draft choice, played for the Giants from 2007-2011 and started in two Super Bowl victories. He played last season with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
A person with knowledge of the deals says Ross and halfback Ryan Torain have agreed to contracts with the New York Giants. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the Giants haven't announced the deals.||||||| A first-round pick by New York in 2007, Ross signed with Jacksonville after the Giants won the Super Bowl in February 2012. The 30-year-old was cut by the Jaguars after last season.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have given cornerback Aaron Ross permission to miss part of training camp to attend the Olympics and watch his wife run. Ross' wife, U.S. runner Sanya Richards-Ross, won gold in the 1,600-meter relay in 2004 and 2008 and captured bronze in the 400 meters in Beijing. But she is seeking her first individual Olympic gold medal.||||||| Ross, who started 41 games over the last five seasons for the New York Giants, asked Jaguars general manager Gene Smith and new coach Mike Mularkey about attending the London Games before he signed with the franchise last month. Ross says their decision "speaks volumes about what they're trying to preach here."
Ross has agreed to a three-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving the team added depth in the secondary.||||||| Ross is in Jacksonville and is scheduled to sign his contract Wednesday. The deal could be worth up to $15.3 million, an investment that indicates Ross will compete with veteran Rashean Mathis for a starting spot.
Ross probably is going to be sidelined this week with inflammation in his right foot. The team says Ross has been diagnosed with plantar fasciitis, an inflammation and swelling of tissue at the bottom of the foot.||||||| Ross, who backs up Corey Webster and Terrell Thomas, played in Saturday night's 24-17 loss to Pittsburgh. He also has been the team's primary punt returner. He had a 45-yard return against the Steelers that he nearly broke for a touchdown.

The Atlanta Braves bounced back from their Game 1 loss in the 2013 National League Division Series to earn a 4-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 on Friday.
Mike Minor allowed only one run in 6⅓ innings while scattering eight hits and notching five strikeouts. The Braves supported their starting pitcher by getting to Dodgers hurler Zack Greinke for two runs in six innings and adding two more in the bottom of the seventh against Dodgers relievers Chris Withrow and Paco Rodriguez.
Withrow surrendered a leadoff walk to Brian McCann before allowing a single to Chris Johnson. He retired Andrelton Simmons and Elliot Johnson before giving way to Rodriguez, who passed on Reed Johnson in favor of a left-on-left matchup with Jason Heyward. Heyward promptly smoked a line drive into center field, plating two all-important insurance runs for Atlanta.
The Dodgers got on the board first on an RBI double off the bat of Hanley Ramirez in the first inning. The Braves answered back an inning later when Andrelton Simmons doubled in Evan Gattis. Chris Johnson put Atlanta ahead in the fourth with a run-scoring single off of Greinke, who struck out three and surrendered only four hits.
Ramirez struck again in the eighth with a two-run homer off of Braves reliever David Carpenter, against whom right-handed batters hit .183 during the regular season, cutting the Dodgers' deficit to one run. It was Ramirez's third extra-base hit of the game, tying a franchise record.
Carpenter bounced back to strike out the next two hitters, and closer Craig Kimbrel came on with two outs and retired Juan Uribe to end the inning before working around walks to A.J. Ellis and Andre Ethier in keeping the Dodgers off the board in the ninth. Kimbrel got some help from catcher Gerald Laird, who caught pinch-runner Dee Gordon trying to steal second base for the second out of the inning.
The two teams will take a break on Saturday before resuming the NLDS with Game 3 on Sunday in Los Angeles. Julio Teheran (14-8, 3.20 ERA) is scheduled to start for the Braves opposite Dodgers rookie Hyun-Jin Ryu (14-8, 3.00 ERA).

By now you are well aware of Alistair Overeem's departure from Golden Glory. If you aren't, then here's a quick run down of what has transpired today. Alistair Overeem sent out an incredibly long tweet announcing that he is separating from his long time team Golden Glory, citing that there was a "breach of trust" and that there was no way to return to a stable working environment. It is pretty shocking to say the very least. Golden Glory has been Alistair's home for the entirety of his MMA and Kickboxing careers. His brother Valentijn is also a Golden Glory fighter, so it is safe to say there was a family environment in the Dutch gym.
Fighters Only Magazine reached out to Golden Glory chief Bas Boon for comment on the split. His response reads as someone who is just as shocked as the rest of us:
Overeem's statement said he was splitting with his "long-time management Golden Glory" but Boon seems to see it as Overeem no longer training at the Golden Glory facility only. He told Fighters Only, "There is a management contract in place and as long as this is honored we are fine with the decision from Alistair and wish Alistair much success in his further career."
For those that don't understand the Golden Glory system, I'll try to quickly explain. It isn't a gym in the same sense as a Jackson's MMA or TriStar gym. Bas Boon and Ron Nyqvist serve as managers as well as trainers for their stable of fighters. It is why a fighter such as Semmy Schilt can fight under the Golden Glory banner but doesn't train with the rest of the team in Breda.
According to Overeem's comments, he is choosing to split from his management team which makes Boon's comments to Fighters Only strange. Boon it would seem, is under the impression that Alistair is only choosing to split from training at the gym but will remain a Golden Glory fighter in the client sense. The situation gets even weirder when Boon spoke with MMA Junkie about the situation:
"I wasn't really surprised, actually, after the last three months because he already had a lot of different ideas on how he would divide certain percentages which were normal in the past, and apparently, are not now," he said. "I think the judge will decide on this issue that we have, and when that is decided, we will see who was right and who was not."
The final sentence is pretty telling as to where the relationship between Overeem and Golden Glory is headed. If it is to be read as it was stated, the next time that Alistair and Boon meet could be in a courtroom. Boon may be feeling slighted that he negotiated Overeem's UFC contract and now is being cast aside for someone new. At the end of the Junkie interview Boon did theorize why Alistair could have decided to leave his side. It has been nine months since winning the K-1 World Grand Prix and Alistair has still not been paid his purse for the tournament win. That kind of mismanagement would definitely have a client question your abilities to fulfill your responsibilities.
This is definitely not the end of the story between Overeem and Golden Glory as I expect more information about the split to come out in the coming days. From my own knowledge, I know there were some rumblings of a complete split of the camp with the different managers taking their prized possessions and moving elsewhere. Hopefully this is not the case and it is just a singular instance of an unhappy client and teammate.

With the recent, long expected, dismissal of Jay Feaster in Calgary, the Sabres now face increased pressure in the race to choose a new GM.
The world knows that the Sabres indicated they were more than happy to take their time in choosing the next GM. They wanted to be sure they got the right person for the job. But the actions of sometimes larger than life hockey man Brian Burke have always been quick and calculated. Burke never rests on his laurels for long. Whether its picking a new coach or signing the players he wants.
via www.thestar.com
Will the challenge of an experienced hockey man joining Pat LaFontaine in competing GM searches alter how the Sabres proceed from here? The Sabres are no longer able to sit back and wait for the perfect situation. It appears that Burke may have a few similar targets in mind for Calgary's GM position.
How will this alter the Sabres plans? Will they rush now and jump to their new GM? Will they be willing to loose a top potential GM so they don't have to rush? Will Burke be looking for the same type of GM as Pat? Will we have to wait until next year to meet the new GM of the Sabres?
Until we can answer some or all of these questions and the Sabres GM picture becomes more clear, the belief will be the race is on.

A Greenwood man was arrested Monday after police said he sent sexually explicit text messages to a 16-year-old boy.
According to an incident report, the boy's father told investigators in September that his son was receiving the messages from 33-year-old James Jones. The messages included a solicitation for oral sex and requests for pictures of the boy's genitalia, according to the report.
Jones was charged with criminal solicitation of a minor.
Gray Stallworth, of the Greenwood YMCA, where Jones worked part-time, said Jones was fired after a parent of the boy told them about the inappropriate text messages.
Stallworth said the safety and well-being of children in the organization's care always have been and always will be a top priority.

Snooker's Pool & Pub's two locations pair the excitement of a billiard game with a menu of pub food and a fully stocked bar of liquors and beers. From pizza to sandwich platters, the menu nourishes billiard spectacles, and bartenders stir drinks such as rum and cokes or long island iced teas.
Fun and flavor go hand-in-hand at Electric Stick, a bar that's one part casual pool hall and one part restaurant. A fireplace warms the restaurant section, where servers deliver Italian and American fare such as burgers, pizzas, and pasta. Nearby, six pool tables host games of billiards, 17 televisions broadcast sports, and video games host rounds of virtual golf or darts. In addition, regular charity poker games let patrons showcase their Texas hold'em skills and collection of intimidating sunglasses while raising money for a worthy cause. :m]]
All 50,000 square feet of the Total Sports facility are packed to the rafters with athletic and leisure activities. The space welcomes team play with a full bowling alley and courts for racquetball, handball, and Wallyball?a game that challenges players to ricochet a ball from the walls of the court, which is the only respectable way to play tennis against yourself. An outdoor field hosts recreational and league softball games. Downstairs, a fitness center allows for cardio and resistance training, while a spa sauna and whirlpool melt away stress. Upstairs lies a sprawling sports bar, where the aromas of pub fare, such as sandwiches and pizza, join with the sounds of sporting events screened on HDTVs.
Inside Miss Cue Sports Cafe, guests are greeted with the clatter of pool balls on 22 tables intermingling with the sound of laughter. Between table times, players shore up hand-eye coordination with games of shuffleboard and darts or play shrunken-down versions of sports, such as basketball shootout and foosball.
Sports fans keep one eye on the televisions scattered about the space and the other on the menu of Harry's Hot Dog Hut. The pure vienna beef hot dogs come with innovative toppings such as creamed peas, bacon, baked beans, and a spicy mango chutney made with a house recipe. The full-service bar stands at the ready to concoct libations that wash down dogs better than frosty mugs of mustard.
Though Ultimate Sports Bar & Grill is a great place to watch sports—its more than 30 HDTVs play NFL Sunday Ticket games each week—visitors don't have to just sit there. Instead, they can play arcade machines, shoot pool at 15 tables and test their luck at darts. During breaks from Club Keno rounds and Golden Tee games, guests amble up to the bar to sample more than 50 Michigan-brewed beers. On Saturday evenings the bar brings in live bands to serenade guests until the music overtakes them and they put their shoes on their hands to prove they can still be spontaneous.
The sudden clatter of a billiards break. The quick shuffling of cards. A pinball machine's clanging bells. All can be heard at The Velvet Rail, where everything from regulation-size felt-topped tables to foosball and air hockey keep patrons of all ages entertained. As a digital jukebox pumps out tunes, snacks such as hot dogs, nachos, and hummus fuel games of snooker or pool, and free WiFi allows players to post online personal ads for "eight ball seeks corner pocket."

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- Voter turnout was low across Minnesota Tuesday for the state's primary election.
The Minnesota Secretary of State's office reports a turnout of 9 percent -- a huge gap compared to a precinct that had 70 percent of their registered voters at the polls.
At the new Cascade Township Hall, voters from Precinct 2 showed up with the highest percentage of voters.
We talked to Don and Carol Smidt, a couple who has lived in Cascade Township for 27 years. Carol has worked as an election judge for seven years and the couple encourages neighbors to vote.
"A group of us walk around the mall making sure people are informed and helping tell them where they can go to vote," said Carol Smidt.
Don and Carol Smidt, along with the other residents, made a 26 mile roundtrip commute to their new voting location near Highway 63 and 75th street. 28 out of 40 registered voters from Precinct 2 cast their primary votes Tuesday night.
"I'm not surprised, but I am proud," said Don Smidt. "It's their civic duty and if they don't vote they don't have much to complain about, but if they do vote they can voice their opinions win or lose."
It's only the second year that the primary has been in August instead of September and that could account for Tuesday's low turnout.

It's all smiles as beer flows at festival
11:00am Saturday 6th April 2013 in News
THE doors of the Marine Theatre had to be closed briefly as hundreds packed into Lyme Regis Beer Fes-tival.
Organisers said the theatre reached capacity at one point, with more than 500 people across the whole day.
The third annual festival featured 21 ales from the organising breweries, Lyme-based Mighty Hop Brewery and Town Mill Brewery and Chideock-based Art Brew, and nine ciders from the region.
Mark Jenkin, from Mighty Hop Brewery, said: "This year's festival was terrific. We did have some misgivings because of the weather, wondering if it was going to stop people coming to Lyme Regis, but it was very well attended and it was Easter Saturday so I think that helped.
"People did come, th-ey wrapped up warm and had a terrific time.
"At one point we had to shut the doors bec- ause we were up to the capacity of the Marine Theatre.
"We love the theatre because of the view and the area outside when the weather is appropriate and the team at the Marine Theatre are very good at making the little things work."

By Nancy R. Elliott
The Herald Bulletin
ANDERSON, Ind. —
Fanciful eggs, bunnies, chicks and candy are everywhere today. It's Easter, a holiday that reminds us it's springtime, a time of joy and new life.
For Christians, it's more than baskets full of candy. It's a spiritual promise of new life secured for them by the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
"It is the resurrection of our Lord and the most important day in the Christian church," said the Rev. Dr. Gary J. Carstens. As senior pastor of Christ Lutheran Church, Carstens shepherds about 140 faithful worshippers at a church that's had a home in Anderson for over 100 years.
As times have changed throughout those years, however, Carstens noted the meaning of Easter has been consistent.
"It's always been about the resurrection of our Lord. ... The defining essence of Christianity is that Jesus rose from the dead," said Carstens. That steadfast belief gives hope to a community regardless of the difficult times in which we live.
Alan Overstreet, chair of the Religious Studies Department and professor of Christian Education/Ministry at Anderson University, said that although celebrations of Easter have occurred in some form from the beginning, "I think some form of special Easter commemoration … started to break out in the 3rd or 4th century."
Secular motifs like bunnies and eggs that touch on new life and fertility crept into the religious holiday and have ultimately been adopted and imbued with spiritual connotations.
"It's a way to tell the story," said Pastor Don Billey of Main Street Church of God in Anderson as he described his church's use of 'resurrection eggs' that are filled with symbols rather than candy. "It's a matter of taking a pagan tradition and resurrecting it to tell the story of Christ."
Churches of many Christian walks host Easter egg hunts.
"It is a way of drawing people in and letting them know the church is there," said Senior Associate Pastor Donna Goings at First United Methodist Church.
Even the name of this important religious Christian holiday apparently has its roots in pagan tradition, as described in "The Oxford Companion to World Mythology" by David Leeming.
"A Germanic fertility goddess, Eostra, is perhaps a source for the term 'Easter.' She was said to have owned an egg-laying rabbit. A more generally accepted theory is that 'Easter' comes from the German Ostern, which comes from the Norse Eostur for 'spring.'"
The Easter celebration is the culmination of a solemn period during which worshippers of various Christian walks have devoted themselves to the story and the meaning of Jesus' life, death and resurrection.
Many spent the last 40 days fasting, sacrificing and praying as Easter approached. On Easter Sunday, members of the Church of God culminate Focus 40, a period of prayer and fasting that this year explored God's "Extreme Love."
"It's a time of devotion and focus," said Billey. Other churches similarly mark the end of Lent.
The days prior to Easter, Holy Week, gave the faithful pause to consider the great sacrifice that Jesus Christ made, in dying through crucifixion. Three days later, grief turned to joy upon the discovery of the great stone rolled away from Christ's tomb and the realization of the resurrection.
"It's a triumph of life over death," said the Rev. Robert Williams at St. Mary's and St. Ambrose Catholic churches. Williams has been a busy man this week. He and his congregation celebrated a Passover supper, a ceremony commemorating Jesus' washing of the feet, the passion of the Lord and veneration of the cross.
"It's the cross we carry in our hearts," said Williams. On Saturday there was a prayer service and the solemn Easter vigil. Today there are baptisms, confirmations, and the celebration of the Eucharist, followed by a party.
"The celebration of the Lord's resurrection … takes on deep meaning after Lenten penance and fasting," said Williams.
It's a celebration happening at Christian churches all around Madison County and beyond.
"It's just so joyful," said First United Methodist Pastor Goings. Like others, the church today is decorated with Easter lilies, and enjoying special music with brass instruments and choir. "It's very awe-inspiring … triumphant."
Because of Christ's resurrection, Carstens said, "We have hope and confidence … that we will share eternity with him, too."
As Christians mature and grow in their faith, that hope and assurance is ever more relevant.
"For every year of life, as we grow in our Christian faith, it becomes more meaningful," said Goings.

New homes plan for Blackburn's Eclipse Mill site
1:08pm Monday 30th April 2012
DETAILS have now been released for a housing development on the site of a former Blackburn Mill.
Councillors say residents welcome Preston-based Pringle Homes' plans to build 38 homes on land where Eclipse Mill stood in Eclipse Road, Feniscowles.
Plans submitted to Blackburn with Darwen Council include a mix of three, four and five bedroomed houses in nine different styles, including semi-detached and detached.
All will be two-storeys and there will also be garages and drive space for up to 114 cars.
The properties would generally consist of a grey roof tile with a red and orange facing brickwork. Other facing features include grey tile hanging, buff render and coursed stonework.

'Solar-superstorm' could occur every one to 200 years
The last known large scale 'solar-superstorm' occurred in 1859, but is likely to occur every one to 200 years.
In the Carrington event, sparks were sent flying from telegraph pylons, causing fires, as energetic currents from the blast hit the earth.
Night skies were lit up by aurora displays, following a large solar flare.
At that time, there were no satellites in orbit or sensitive microchips in the path of the particles.
If an event of this scale were to hit today, the electricity grid could be affected, along with aircraft and navigation systems.

Competition Leads to Top CD Rates in Iowa
Savers in Iowa should consider themselves lucky. Several Iowa banks and credit unions offer CD rates far above the best rates that are nationally available. One example is Veridian Credit Union which is offering four very competitive CD specials. The Jumbo specials have yields of 2.20% APY for 39 months, 1.90% APY for 25 months, 1.50% APY for 15 months and 1.20% APY for 7 months. The Jumbo CDs require a $100K minimum deposit. The standard CD specials require a $1,000 minimum deposit. Those rates are 20 basis points lower than the Jumbo rates. These rates are listed in the credit union's rates sheet as of 11/09/2011.
The credit union also has a good deals on flexible CDs. There's an add-on CD with a 1.20% APY for a 1-year term. Minimum deposit is $500, and you can add to it as often as you'd like during the 1-year term. There's also a bump-up CD with a 1.90% APY for a 30-month term. Minimum deposit is $1,000, and you bump your interest rate up to the current Bump-Up rate one time during the 30-month term.
Membership is open to those who live or work in one of many counties in Iowa. Please refer to the credit union's Who can join page for the full details. At the bottom of this page is a link to an online application. It requires mailing in copies of your IDs and a check. A minimum $5 deposit is required for membership.
Veridian Credit Union branches are located in several Iowa cities including Cedar Falls, Independence, Oelwein, Waverly, Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Marion, Ankeny, Johnston and Des Moines.
It's a large credit union with $1.66 billion in deposits. The credit union has an overall health score at DepositAccounts.com of 5 stars (out of 5) with a Texas Ratio of 6.18% (excellent) based on June 2011 data. Please refer to our financial overview of Veridian Credit Union for more details. The credit union is federally insured by the NCUA (Charter # 64418).
How the CD Rates Compares
The other big credit union in Iowa with top rates is University of Iowa Community Credit Union. This credit union used to be the clear rate leader in Iowa, but in the last couple of months, its rates have fallen. UICCU still has a better deal on its 19-month CD special (1.70% APY $100K minimum). Also, its CD with terms of 37 to 48 months has a 2.25% APY ($100K minimum).
Both of these credit unions have rates that exceed what you can get from nationally available CDs with similar terms. For example, the best 1-year and 2-year CD rates are 1.30% APY and 1.70% APY ($25K minimum) at Alliant Credit Union.
These rates are accurate as of 11/09/2011.

Over 100 million native people were murdered.
100 million people were tortured, starved, beaten, raped, and robbed.
100 million people and we have no vast, well lit, upscale museum. We've been given no night time specials or "holidays" commemorating our loss.
Instead we've been given pictures of fucking thin white girls running around in headdresses and white people telling us we need to pay taxes for building things on our own land while they live on land they stole from us.

Fall in Love With THE LIGHT IN THE PIAZZA at Villanova Theatre, 4/1-13
Villanova Theatre presents The Light in the Piazza, book by Craig Lucas, music and lyrics written by Adam Guettel, directed by Dr. Valerie Joyce, PhD., and on stage April 1-13, 2014. A mother's need to protect her daughter comes in conflict with her desire to set her free into life, love, and happiness. Triumphant, gorgeous, and courageous, Villanova's production of The Light in the Piazza proves that love truly can conquer all.
Winner of six Tony Awards, including Best Original Score, The Light in the Piazza whisks audiences away to 1950's Italy to experience a soaring tale of passion, forgiveness, and love. Margaret Johnson, a mother escaping her crumbling marriage, travels to Tuscany with her daughter Clara. When a handsome young Florentine captures Clara's heart, Margaret must decide if she'll risk revealing truths that could threaten her daughter's happiness. Hailed as "astonishing," "intensely romantic," and "breathtaking," The Light in the Piazza has redefined the modern American musical.
First produced in 2003, The Light in the Piazza celebrates the Golden Age of musicals by offering a modern twist on the classic boy-meets-girl love story. When Fabrizio, a "dazzlingly handsome" Italian boy falls in love at first sight with Clara, a sweet and optimistic American, he has no idea she holds a secret that will affect their lives together forever. Villanova Theatre's production of The Light in the Piazza embraces the classic musical style while showcasing the novelty of Lucas's tender story, begging the question: doesn't everyone deserve a chance at love?
When asked what she loves most about this musical, director Valerie Joyce responded "As a mother with daughters, I was drawn to The Light in the Piazza through the connection between Margaret and Clara. I am inspired and filled with hope each time I watch their love grow deeper as they learn to navigate the time in life when the mother-daughter bond transitions as life changes for both characters."
A celebration of life and love in every sense, The Light in the Piazza is not just about a girl falling in love with a boy; it is a story of a mother's love for her daughter, a girl's love affair with Italy, and two families learning to love each other despite their differences.
Some characters speak almost exclusively in Italian, harmonizing with American Southern English, creating what is the only fully bilingual musical in the American canon. The two languages mix and meld to create a rich sonic landscape that lifts the heart and enlivens the senses. Audiences will be whisked away into "La Dolce Vita", or the Sweet Life, the Italian sensibility that encourages long sunset strolls, decadent food and wine, and of course, falling in love as deeply and often as possible.
The Light in the Piazza departs from the 21st century pop-musical trend on Broadway with Guettel's neo-Romantic musical composition, unexpected harmonic shifts, and extended melodic structures. The score features swoon-worthy songs such as "Let's Walk," "The Beauty Is," and the heartbreaking "Dividing Day." It is no wonder that critics have said "the Guettel sound is plush and enjoyable" and called the music "steadily absorbing." His lauded music and lyrics earned Guettel the 2005 Tony Award for Best Original Score.
An award-winning team of designers helps to bring the sights and sounds of Florence and Rome onto the Villanova Stage: David Gordon (Scenic Design), Rosemarie McKelvey (Costume Design), Jerold Forsyth (Lighting Design), John Stovicek (Sound Design), and Megan Diehl (Dramaturg). The design team brings the romance and spirit of Italy to life through the use of classic Renaissance silhouettes and a soft, glowing light scheme. McKelvey's costumes will accurately depict the world of the 1950s, contrasting youthful American optimism and Italian hot-blooded sensuality. Sliding backdrops on tracks will allow the audience to travel throughout Florence and all the way to Rome, drinking in the ancient and the modern artistic articulations of love existing side by side. Stovicek, working with Musical Director Peter Hilliard, will bring Guettel's soaring score to life in addition to creating an original Italian soundscape.
Joyce directs a dynamic cast of sixteen in this grand, cinematic musical. The principal cast includes second-year Acting Scholars Christine Petrini (Clara), and Peter Andrew Danzig* (Fabrizio); first-year Acting Scholar Mitchell Bloom (Giuseppe), first year graduate student Christen Mandracchia (Franca); and part-time graduate student Seth Martin (Roy). The ensemble includes second-year graduate students Seth Thomas Schmitt-Hall and Emily Poworoznek; first-year graduate students Jill Jacobs, Sarah Ochocki, John K. Baxter, and Jim Hawkins; and undergraduate student Allyce Morrissey. Villanova is also thrilled to welcome guest professional performers from the Philadelphia region: Villanova alumnus Amy Acchione Myers (Margaret), Paul Weagraff (Signor Nacerelli), and Gerri Weagraff (Signora Nacerelli).
The Light in the Piazza takes the stage at Villanova Theatre from April 1-13th, 2014. Villanova Theatre is located on the Villanova University campus in Vasey Hall (at Lancaster & Ithan Aves.). Performances will be held Tuesdays - Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. Tickets run $21-$25, with discounts available for seniors, students, M.A. in Theatre alumni, and groups. Tickets may be purchased at the Villanova Theatre Box Office (M-S, 12-5 p.m.) in person, by phone: (610) 519-7474, or online at www.villanovatheatre.org.
ABOUT THE PLAYWRIGHT: CRAIG LUCAS has earned himself considerable fame as a playwright for both musicals and straight plays. Writing hits with his long-time collaborator Norman Renè such as Marry Me a Little and Reckless, Lucas received a Pulitzer Prize nomination for Drama for his play Prelude to a Kiss, which has often been treated as an indirect allegory for the AIDS epidemic. Following the success of Prelude, Lucas began writing more serious works about AIDS, including The Dying Gaul and The Singing Forest. His ability to unite genres while playing with complex social and psychological themes comes to a head in The Light in the Piazza, which earned him a Tony Nomination for Best Book of a Musical. Lucas is also a celebrated director and screenwriter. Among many others, he won the OBIE Award for his direction of Harry Kondoleon's Saved and Destroyed at the Rattlestick Theatre and the New York Film Critics Circle award for Best Screenplay for The Secret Lives of Dentists. In June of 2013, The Melbourne Regent's Theatre premiered the musical King Kong, for which Lucas wrote the book.
ABOUT THE COMPOSER: ADAM GUETTEL reached national fame for his composition of The Light in the Piazza, and backs up this acclaim with years of experience in music and composition. Since the release of his earliest works, Guettel's music has been characterized by its complexity and chromaticism, exampled in 1996's Floyd Collins, Love's Fire, and Myths and Hymns. Steven Sondheim himself has referred to Guettel's work as "dazzling". After winning the Tony Award for Best Original Score for The Light in the Piazza, Guettel was in high demand. He is currently developing a musical version of Danny Boyle's film "Millions", an opera based on Washington Irving's short stories, and a musical of "The Invisible Man". Adam Guettel is also an experienced and dedicated teacher, teaching master classes and seminars on musical theatre performance and songwriting at New York University, Pace University, Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and Emerson, just to name a few. A graduate of Yale University, Guettel received an honorary doctorate from Lehman University in 2007.
ABOUT THE DIRECTOR: Valerie Joyce (Director) has been performing, directing, or designing on stage at Villanova Theatre for more than 20 years. Joyce directed Rogers and Hammerstein's Carousel in the 2011-12 season at Villanova Theatre and Batboy: The Musical in the 2010-11 season. Other directing credits include Annie Get Your Gun, Cabaret and Tally's Folly at Villanova, and The Meat Opera and Up Your Ante for the New York and Philadelphia International Fringe Festivals, and Thank You for Sharing with Amaryllis Theatre Company. Valerie has also worked as a professional costume designer for local and regional productions including Six Story Building (Off Broadway), The Real Thing (Arden Theatre Company), Moon or the Misbegotten (Venture Theatre), True West and Waiting for Godot (Lantern Theatre Company), Billy and Zelda (Opera Delaware), and The Comedy of Errors (Princeton Repertory), as well as many university productions.

Why Donate?
Our Lifesaving Work
Leave No Paws Behind is the voice for those who cannot speak. We are an all breed , all foster based rescue, specializing in seniors, End of Life, and animals with special medical needs. When possible we step up to help save the lives of those that are in most danger of being left behind to die on a cold shelter floor.
Upon rescue, LNPB immediately has all of our rescues vetted and those with minor and treatable medical needs and disabilities per diagnosis from the Doctor's are then placed in the loving care of fosters until they are adopted. LNPB's more serious medically challenged rescues such as seniors who may suffer with terminal and/or severe mobility medical conditions as diagnosed by the Doctor's are placed in loving hospice/long term foster care for as long as needed.
From time to time, and when deemed necessary by our Doctor's due to severe pain and suffering, we have the sad task of helping our beloved animals cross the rainbow bridge. We are with them, holding and loving them in the end as they peacefully pass quietly in our arms. We do not hesitate to pull the terminally ill or the ones the shelter will inevitably PTS due to sickness and inability to walk as we cannot bear having them die alone, frightened and sadly wondering.
We are doing for our four legged friends what they cannot do for themselves. We are their voice and we we will continue saving lives one set of paws at a time making every effort to assure we Leave No Paws Behind. LNPB relies solely on public donations, no amount is to small and all amounts benefit the health and well being of abused and abandoned animals and are tax deductible. EIN# 45-2717681
Leave No Paws Behind is a 501 (c) 3 non profit corporation governed by the laws of the State of California. LNPB provides long term hospice care, comfort, love and a safe haven for the aged and terminally ill.

Toby Talks
How I do what I do
I get asked so many times how can I do what I do and why would I rescue an animal knowing that it was at the end of its life. Well I have learned there is so much more to rescue than simply pulling an animal to safety and placing it in a good home. The rescue begins with the pull however that is only the beginning of what can sometimes be a very long journey for the animal that is being saved. We have had several cases where we rescued an animal that had to be hospitalized for 15-30 days however we never, ever give up for we feel in our hearts they all deserve a fighting chance as long as they are not suffering.
The bitter sweet side of rescue are the ones who are terminal, at the end of their life and we know will not make it to see tomorrow. The ones who we have to carry out of the shelters, the ones who are riddled with cancer, the ones who have lost all control of their bodily functions, the forgotten ones who have been abandoned at the shelter, alone and suffering with no hope of ever leaving. They are the ones who are truly left behind frightened and wondering, and they are more oft than not, our precious, wise and caring seniors. LNPB is an 11th hour , end of life, all breed foster based rescue specializing in seniors and animals with special medical needs and, when possible, we will pull an animal to safety when no one else steps up and all hope is lost.
We cannot leave them behind to die alone and forgotten on a cold shelter floor. It does not matter to us if they have 1 day, 1 week, 1 year or 1 hour of life left in them and we don't care if they are deemed unadoptable or untreatable. What we do care about is the quality of life we can give them in the end and the love and companionship we can offer them so they do not die alone. Due to the nature of our rescue, LNPB never boards our animals nor do we make or determine any medical decisions or diagnosis regarding their medical care. We have them all immediately vetted and rely on the expertise of our trained and skilled DVM's.
Yes it is heartbreaking at times and yes, most days I wonder myself how I can do what I do, however, the bigger question I ask myself is: "How can I sit back and do nothing?" Yes, rescue is so bitter sweet, however, the rewards are so gratifying. To see an animal we have rescued restored to health and walk away with a new loving family or to watch an aging senior live out their life with our loving fosters is priceless. To be at the side of a dying animal and hold them as I whisper how much they are loved and to have them, in their final moments, gently lick my hand thanking me for letting them know how much their life mattered, well that my friends is what I have learned rescue is truly all about… tw, LNPB
PICTURED: Sebastian, owner surrendered at the shelter after being doused in hot motor oil which his prior owners thought would cure his mange. Rescued by LNPB, vetted and treated by our amazing DVM's, and now placed in the loving care of our life saving foster, Sebastian is now on his way to the promise of so many tomorrows and a full recovery
My Alley
Today I was reminded just how precious life is with a senior pet. My Alley, who has been my constant companion for 12 years, suffers with Degenerative Myelopathy, which continues to progress She does well for the most part and can still get up and walk a bit, however there are times, I come to her rescue. My house now has soft carpet in every spot where I know she could slip or struggle to get up and when she goes outside to potty, I am always there with her in case she should fall. What has helped both Alley and me is the weight loss program we went on for her a little over 1 1/2 years ago. I do believe that is one of the main reasons she is still here with me today Today as I watched Theo, who is in the last stages of DM, I could not help but cry. I asked the Doc if this is how it is going to be for Alley as the DM progresses. He is such a sweet , gentle and kind man and reassured me that Alley will never get that bad. She too, has difficulty "finding her legs" however she still keeps on going. The saddest part of this disorder is that, while it is not painful to the animal, it decreases their physical ability to move about. Sadly Alley can no longer make her way to the pool or even step in, however that seems to sadden me more than it does her. She is perfectly content to sit out on the patio with me and just enjoy the fresh air and sunshine. I don't speak of her disorder, not because I am in denial, but because she is still spry and still enjoys her life and does not let it effect her. Today however I stared the effects of DM right in the face and I have to tell you, my heart snapped in two Alley is my rock, my best friend and constant companion for 12 years. Her blood results always come back perfect, which amazes the good Doc and he tells me that on paper she is as healthy as a young pup! Her vision is also going however each and every night, when the "boys" are all tucked in, Alley and me enjoy some quality "mommy and me" time and I always assure her that I will be here for her. I will be her eyes, I will be her ears and I will be her legs, I mean after all she has been all that and so much more for me over the years. Alley has never, ever had an accident in the house so I know that if and when that happens, she will be mortified. I tell her not to worry because she can do no wrong in this old mom's eyes. She has taught me so many wonderful lessons throughout the years. She has shown me, that no matter how many people have come and gone in my life, I am never alone. She has taught me, patience, kindness, understanding, the true meaning of forgiveness and unconditional love. Each night as I tuck her in and kiss her cold, wet nose, I never fail to whisper: " I may not be the perfect person you believe me to be, however thanks to you, I am a much better person today." She is my senior dog, my heart light and inspiration for all my writings and I am not ashamed to say, my best friend, and I love her. tw, LNPB

During his first address to the Louisville faithful, Strong first paused and then cried when asked by a reporter if he thought he would ever get the chance to be a head coach. "Because you just never knew if it would happen,"
10/27/2012 Pat Forde Yahoo Sports when CS name was being floated re: SEC openings
Jurich has taken extraordinary care of Strong. He gave the career assistant his first head-coaching job at age 49, then a year ago gave him a new seven-year deal with a raise from $1.6 million base salary to $2.3 million. He's shelled out good money for Strong's staff as well. For a guy who entered this season with a 14-12 record, Strong's been treated like royalty.
12/04/2012 Eric Crawford re: the Tennessee Job
"Kentucky can travel with the Big Blue Nation, they go take over," Strong said. "We should have that same passion here."
I haven't confirmed this yet, but apparently, U of L fans have responded by planning to return two-thirds of their allotment to next year's UK-U of L game in Lexington.
Strong came in saying he wasn't going to talk about coaching rumors, then talked about them for six or seven minutes. Something wasn't adding up. Then Strong said this, and everything started to make sense.
"I'm going to say this to you guys," Strong said. "I have no representative. Charlie Strong represents himself."
Boom. It all makes sense. You just have to listen closely.
All this crazy stuff that was said at the news conference on Monday, it wasn't Coach Charlie Strong talking. It was Representative Charlie Strong.
12/05/2012 Go Vols blog
Previous coaches, like John L. Smith and Bobby Petrino, had used Louisville as a stepping-stone job, but Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said as early as October that the school was willing to make a large financial commitment to Strong if he would remain with the Cardinals.
"The ultimate decision will come down to does he want to be in Louisville or not?" Jurich told TV station WHAS. "Economically, fiscally, we can match anything anybody wants to do."
12/06/2012. The Examiner blog CS Press Conf comments when turned down the other UT
"When I thought about leaving, I kept going back," Strong said. "We haven't finished the job yet."
"I knew this was a big opportunity. But when I thought about all those people across Louisville I'd come across the past few years, as I talked with my family, it became crystal clear that I needed to stay," Strong said as his voice cracked throughout his morning speech.
"A lot of you guys grew up without a father figure and a lot of people have walked out of your life... I just couldn't do that."couldn't do that."
8/15/13 SI.com
"We're going to do everything within our power to keep anyone," Jurich said. "I was prepared to match anyone. Probably the only people I can't compete with are the NFL."
"It's all about, is your AD or your university providing you with every resource possible to be successful?" Strong said. "Tom Jurich will."

TCS buys BPO firm in Chile Plans to expand in a big way in Latin America
Our Bureau
Mr S. Ramadorai, CEO and Managing Director, TCS, addressing a press conference in Bangalore on Tuesday. -- G.R.N. Somashekar
Bangalore , Nov. 8
TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) has acquired the Santiago-based business process outsourcing firm Comicrom for $23 million in an all-cash deal.
As part of the deal, TCS also bought out the 49 per cent stake in the IT services joint venture from the Chilean firm, Comicrom, where it was a 51 per cent stakeholder.
The latest buy-out is the third such deal announced by TCS in the last three weeks with the other two being the acquisition of the insurance transaction processing unit of the UK-based Pearl Group Ltd and the Sydney-based Financial Network Services (FNS), a core banking solutions vendor.
Mr S. Ramadorai, Chief Executive Officer, TCS, announcing the acquisition in Bangalore, said this would significantly expand the company's footprint in the Latin American region. "This acquisition is a further step in realising TCS' strategy of acquiring leadership in platform-based BPO for the banking domain. It also expands TCS' capability in terms of becoming a full services player," he added.
Privately held and a profitable entity with zero debt, Comicrom had revenues of $35.5 million in 2004-05 and operating margins of 14 per cent. With some 1,257 employees, Comicrom is the market leader with 70 per cent share in the banking and pensions BPO business in Chile, and provides non-voice services such as cheque processing and other transaction related services to banks, insurance companies, pension funds, Government bodies and other large corporations in the Latam.
Tracking the acquisition news, TCS shares opened marginally higher on the BSE at Rs 1,470 on Tuesday and closed at Rs 1,477, after touching an intra-day high of Rs 1,484.
Mr N. Chandrasekaran, TCS' global head of sales and operations, said the company was eyeing revenues of $100 million from Latam operations in 2006-07, up from $30 million in the current fiscal. Part of the projected $100 million revenue would also include earnings from the multi-million ABN Amro deal, portion of which would be executed from TCS' Latam operations, he said.
TCS is expanding its operations in Latam, including Chile and Brazil, as it seeks more Spanish and Portuguese-speaking customers in those countries and in the US. TCS has a development centre in Brazil where it employs about 400 people and also has some 300 employees in Uruguay, and about 50 in Mexico and Chile.
The company plans to scale up its employee base in Latam from the present 700 to about 2,000 people in Brazil alone over the next two years.

President Barack Obama is known for his grass-roots organization. In 2008, even Republicans praised it. But this year, Republican Mitt Romney has placed a big emphasis on recruiting thousands of volunteers to register voters, knock on doors and make telephone calls right alongside Obama for America.
It's difficult to say which side has an advantage. But a close race could come down to the effectiveness of volunteer surrogates -- people like stay-at-home mom Katie Sprung, of Tampa, Fla., and evangelical pastor Terry Bear, in neighboring St. Petersburg.
A neighborhood team leader for Obama, Sprung says the election is playing out "in the streets." Bear is filling a more traditional get-out-the-vote role: calling lists of Florida voters and encouraging them to support Romney, because, Bear says, it's time for another change.

When Emily took am internship at Denver Memorial Hospital, she thought a new chapter in her life was about to begin -- until she learned that her high school nemesis and med school crush were also a part of the program.

Former Sussex cricket launches appeal against sex abuse conviction
5:50pm Wednesday 9th January 2013 in News
A former Sussex cricketer who was jailed for child abuse is launching a fresh attempt to quash his conviction.
Uday Joshi was sent to prison for six years in March last year after being found guilty of sexually molesting a boy more than 30 years ago.
Last month the 68-year-old's appeal was dismissed by the Belfast Court of Appeal, but he is now asking the Criminal Cases Review Commission to investigate his case.
Mr Joshi's son, Aakash, said: "All of my family and my father's friends and supporters know he is innocent and we remain fully committed to doing everything we can to clear his name."

The recorder tape was duplicated at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week and will be reviewed at the Johnson Space Center in Houston and other facilities this weekend. No actual sensor data on that tape has been reviewed at this time, but a time tag viewed on the tape during its duplication confirms that some type of imprint exists until 14:00:18 GMT. After that time, the tape is blank.
The process of reviewing any engineering data that may be contained on the tape is expected to be time consuming. But investigators hope that any useful data retrieved from the recorder can be baselined on the Columbia accident timeline as soon as possible.
Search teams near Hemphill, Texas retrieved the data recorder on Wednesday, March 19. The teams focused their search for the recorder near Hemphill after an analysis of debris from Columbia indicated other material from the area in which the recorder was located on the orbiter had been found there.
The recorder was cleaned at a lab in Minnesota and was sent to Kennedy Space Center for duplication earlier this week.

Expense fraud ex-JP faces prison (From The Bolton News)
Expense fraud ex-JP faces prison
Updated 9:04am Tuesday 29th January 2013 in News
A FORMER magistrate — who has pleaded guilty to claiming £22,000 in expenses he was not entitled to — has been warned he could face jail.
Carlton Janson admitted two offences of obtaining property by deception and two of fraud regarding claims for loss of earnings and mileage to Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunal Services The 69-year-old, of Bradford Park Drive, The Haulgh, has been warned he now faces a possible prison sentence after pleading guilty to four charges.
Janson committed the fraud between January, 2006 and October, 2011.
His barrister, Andrew Nuttall, asked for the case to be adjourned so a pre-sentence report could be compiled by the probation service.
Janson was remanded on unconditional bail for sentencing at Burnley Crown Court on February 18.
Judge Anthony Russell QC told him: "This is a case where all sentencing options, including custody, will be open to the court. It is a serious matter.
"When I have all the information before me I will take what I consider the appropriate decision".
Janson has been sitting at Bolton Magistrates' Court since 2000.
But a spokesman from the Judicial Office said Janson has not sat as a magistrate since November, last year.
All magistrates sit in adult criminal courts as panels of three, mixed in gender, age and ethnicity whenever possible to bring a broad experience of life to the bench.
Each magistrate should sit for at least 26 half-days each year. They are unpaid, but can claim expenses and for loss of earnings.
Magistrates deal with more than 95 per cent of all criminal cases.
The Lord Chancellor appoints magistrates on the advice of local advisory committees. When applying to become a magistrate an application form must be filled in, references are taken up and at least one, usually two interviews are held before a decision is made.
Janson has sat on cases which have attracted media attention, most notably he was chairman of the bench for the case of Jake Preston, a benefit cheat who claimed he could not walk but was secretly filmed throwing his motorbike around while racing to victory in a British motocross championship competition.

Neither did disability fraudster Jake Preston : £15k fraud, slap on wrist, just pay it back lad, you'll be fine.
Why should Janson be treated more harshly?
The criminal justice system is a joke.
He has claimed £22k which is a lot of money in 6 years!!!!
It doesnt state anything on here by this "reporter" as to WHAT was he claiming prior to 2006???
It states that Janson has been a JP since 2000?? If he has always claimed the same amount every week/month or however they do it then surely the court he was a JP at, is as much to blame?? Surely they must of looked into his expenses claims prior to 2006?? To be fair to this guy, he has obviously claimed this money but has he done it knowing he wasnt allowed it or have the courts messed up with allowing this to happen for last 6/7 years...maybe longer, maybe since 2000 when he started????
That needs to be looked at before they go handing prison sentences out!!
Typical Bolton News jumping the gun again!! Disgraceful I think!!

- bwfc is right, for a fraud there should be no limit going backwards (this principle DOES apply to taxpayers and in many legal agreements, seemingly not the public sector
- he got away with it in the first place : probably because it was/is commonplace
- and it's a holier than thou magistrate who is responsible for judging OTHER fraudsters on the fiddle. Something fishy there then? You bet!
- BUT if you get caught, nothing really happens and you pay it back in instalments and if you die before you've finished paying, what happens then? The bar stewards will doubtless write it off.
- so, rather than robbing postoffices, do benefits or do the public sector because there is much less chance of getting caught and really they don't give a ****

KSP Highway Safety Branch News Release
Five Motorcycle Deaths Included in Traffic Fatalities Last Week (Aug. 18 through Aug. 24)
Date of News Release: 08/25/08
(FRANKFORT, Ky.) - Preliminary statistics* indicate that 13 people died in thirteen separate crashes on Kentucky roadways from Monday, August 18 through Sunday, August 24, 2008. Six of the fatalities involved motor vehicles and two of those victims were not wearing seat belts. Motor vehicle crashes occurred in Allen, Knott, Laurel, Letcher, Pike and Scott counties.
There was an ATV fatality in Pike county and the victim was not wearing a helmet.
Five people died in five separate motorcycle crashes occurring in Fleming, Garrard, Laurel, McLean and Menifee counties. Two of the victims were not wearing helmets.
There was one pedestrian fatality in Logan county and the suspected use of alcohol was a factor.
Through August 24, preliminary statistics* indicate that 492 people have lost their lives on Kentucky roadways during 2008. This is 63 fewer than reported for this time period in 2007. Of the 373 motor vehicle fatalities, 228 victims were not wearing seat belts. Of the 62 motorcycle fatalities, 36 were not wearing helmets. Fifteen people have been killed in ATV crashes and 14 of those were not wearing helmets. Thirty-nine pedestrians have been killed. A total of 91 fatalities have resulted from crashes involving the suspected use of alcohol.
Citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Kentucky State Police toll-free at 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state). Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
*These statistics are still preliminary as KSP waits for all local law enforcement agencies throughout the state to report any crashes and fatalities that may have occurred in their areas.

Move over Gano, we've found our new Kicker!
Ever since Hurney fired our beloved John Kasay, the Panthers have been without a consistent and reliable kicker that can win the close ones for us. However, we may have just found our new kicker. Her name is Lauren Silberman, and she was the first female to participate in an NFL regional combine. Silberman's performance was undoubtedly the best we've seen from a female kicker thus far. Right now, she looks like a clear upgrade from Mare, Medlock, Gano, or whoever we have back there kicking now. Take a look at her whacking that football! Quite inspriing!

International Students Gain English And Academic Skills Through Summer Program
Posted: August 04, 2005
Charleston, W.Va. - Learning English as a second language can prove challenging for both the student and the teacher, but with the assistance of the summer professional development program offered by the West Virginia Department of Education, it was made a little easier and much more fun. Last month, nearly 100 students from across the Kanawha Valley began a month-long summer educational program. Representing nearly 20 different language and cultural backgrounds, these students attended the Ninth Annual Summer English as Second Language program designed to improve their English language and academic skills. Students ranged in ages from four to 64.
Throughout the program K-12 students were given lessons in reading/writing, social studies and mathematics. The classes were tailored to the student�s age group. Adults were also taught reading and writing, but they also learned life skills and issues with families and communities. The program culminated in a festival of diverse foods and cultural celebrations on Friday, July 29th.
�The summer ESL program helps members of the international community to feel more at home in West Virginia,� said Steve Paine, State Superintendent of Schools. �Through this program, students and teachers alike are learning.�
Partnering with Marshall University, the four-week program is also designed to provide professional development for teachers who are interested in working with students from diverse language and cultural backgrounds. Launched in 1997, the program provides �hands-on� training for teachers, while at the same time, offering students with limited English proficiency an opportunity to improve their communication skills.
For more information about the program, contact Amelia Courts, Executive Director for the Office of International Schools & ESL, at (304) 558-2691.

The president of an area water utility said the water is safe to drink after the department that oversees water quality in the state of Tennessee raised concerns about the utility.
Last week, the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation closed its Director's Order to North Greene Utilities.
The water provider is located in the Town of Baileyton in Greene County, and back in August of 2012 it received word from the state that it failed to report various pieces of data to the state as required by law.
As part of the order, the state wrote North Greene Utilities failed to properly collect and submit required monthly bacteriological samples and failed to monitor cryptosporidium, which is a bacteria that causes diarrhea.
In a News Channel 11 investigation, Melissa Hipolit learned from the utility's president, John Waddle, that the issues raised by the state had nothing to do with water safety.
"The director's order was not for the quality of water that we had; it was because the reports were not filed timely," said Waddle.
Waddle said the water quality test data was turned in two days late, but since the order was issued there have been no problems.
TDEC closed the order last week, which means, according to the state, the water is safe to drink.Copyright 2013 WJHL. All rights reserved.

The Green Bay Packers are going through quarterbacks like toilet paper right now, starting three QBs in three weeks. Aaron Rodgers, Seneca Wallace, Scott Tolzien … the week after that they're starting Favre, and then Tebow wearing a Favre jersey, and maybe in the last game of the season they'll cart out a football-playing donkey. It's bad.
But they're a pro football team, you know? They're prepared for situatinos like this. Rodgers' Discount Double-Checking shoulder goes out and they've got a Plan B, and if that falls through they've got … uh, James Van Der Beek making fun of them on Twitter. Yes, television's own Dawson Leery, the man who was once discovered making out with Eve behind a screen at a high school pep rally, made a Varsity Blues joke at the Packers' expense. I haven't been this jealous of a sports vs. 90s TV feud since Urkel got pissed at that one sports reporter.
Anyway, the iceburn in question:
Or, more succinctly,
While we pour one out for the Packers, let's not forget the glory that could be NFL quarterback James Van Der Beek. You know, if he decides he wants that life.

"Richmond is Better Now; Let's Build on a Decade of Progress" is the theme promoted by a progressive team of candidates for Richmond City Council, announced Feb. 13. Mayor Gayle McLaughlin – limited by City Charter to two consecutive terms as mayor – will run for a City Council seat, along with Vice Mayor Jovanka Beckles and Planning Commissioner Eduardo Martinez. Mike Parker will seek the office of mayor.

For Adama Mosley, a resident of the West Oakland neighborhood known as Ghost Town, having solar panels installed on her home was "a dream come true." Energy advocates say significant challenges lie ahead if affordable renewable energy and widespread adoption of energy efficiency are to become a reality in low-income communities of color.
March 13, 2013
San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee has made the announcement that clean energy and green job advocates in the Bay Area and beyond have waited nearly 12 months to hear: He supports full funding for the landmark GoSolarSF incentive program, which has helped over 2,000 homeowners, tenants, businesses and nonprofits install solar panels since 2008.

So Van Jones, activist, joins the Barack Obama administration, as the green energy czar, a field he's passionate about, to provide jobs in Black communities and conserve natural resources as part of a larger change in America's addiction to oil. But, almost immediately, Jones comes under attack from forces in America that really don't want change.

MEMPHIS Mafia might just develop into a talented galloper after Monday's win at Armidale.
She replicated the effort of Walcha Cup Prelude winner Jefferson Park, who had won the previous race.
Both won by two and three quarter lengths after leading and racing away from their opposition up the Armidale hill.
However, that's where the resemblance might end.
While chestnut gelding Jefferson Park is a fine-looking, long-barrelled chestnut, Memphis Mafia is a five-year-old bay mare.
Jefferson Park has won seven of his 15 starts while Memphis Mafia has won won three of her 26 starts.
The daughter of Elvestroem has, though, won her last two starts, following on from a good win over Jewel's Shadow at Quirindi on Boxing Day with another impressive win at Armidale on Monday.
Lesley Jeffriess trains Memphis Mafia for a large syndicate of owners from Armidale and Tamworth.
Sonia Reid is one of those owners and was an emotional young lady again.
Memphis Mafia had given her her first win at Quirindi on Boxing Day and on Monday she handed her her second win with a few tears thrown in.
Jeffriess believes the mare can develop despite being a "bit scratchy".
"She's a handy horse – goes real good but is a bit scratchy," Jeffriess said.
While she celebrated a win at Armidale, she has three of her stable nominated at Tamworth for Friday's meeting – Stretch, Takiri and Elle's Shadow.
Recent Wallabadah Cup winner Stretch heads her hopes on Friday while she also has Takiri entered on Saturday at Bingara along with Ballintine in the $9000 Austrabrokers RWA Bingara Cup (1300m) .
Stretch is one of 10 nominations for Friday's B60 1600m at Tamworth.
Coming off a seventh to Rhodonite in the Deepwater Cup, he will carry 54.5kg with the Brett Thompson-trained Slate On Edge the topweight.
The Gulgong-trained galloper, a last-start winner at Wellington, received 60.5kg yesterday while Luke Griffith's Don't move received 58.5kg.
Friday, January 31
Slate On Edge (Brett Thompson) 60.5, Don't Move (Luke Griffith) 58.5, Final Conflict (Mack Griffith) 57, Mafioso (Craig Martin) 57, Merwaan (Grant Allard) 55, Medal Of Glory (Mark Taylor) 54.5, Stretch (Lesley Jeffriess) 54.5, Border Flight (Sue Grills) 54, Jadestra (John McLachlan) 54, Jewel's Shadow (Luke Griffith) 54.

AC Milan have successfully fended off suitors for half Thiago Silva, signing the 27-year-old to a new five year deal that will keep the defender at the San Siro through the 2016/17 season. The Brazil centre back is widely regarded as one of the three best in his position and there was corresponding interest in his services from (other) top teams around Europe.
Paris Saint-Germain were leading the charge, with the Ligue 1 runners up attempting an audacious 45M bid to pry him away from Milan, but they certainly weren't the only team interested, with both Barcelona and Manchester City also linked. With the team apparently in some danger of falling afoul of UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules, there was some thought that they could alleviate most of their concerns with a major sale, but it now looks certain that it won't be Thiago Silva.
That, of course, is a good thing for Milan. He's a world-class player, and for a club with Milan's sort of ambition, it makes no sense to get rid of someone that good while still in his prime. Well done on keeping him.
