Colonial Place/Riverview Civic League
             Guest Speaker, Ken Gibson, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, At This Month's Meeting
NEXT BOARD MEETING will be March 19, 2001, at 7:00 pm, 710 Georgia Avenue.
DEADLINE for the April issue is Tuesday, March 27, 2001.
THIS MONTH'S MEETING AGENDA:   Monthly police report - Code enforcement update - Ken Gibson, Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney, will speak - Vote on Colonial Place bulkhead landscape enhancements - Vote to select a location for a mermaid - Vote on WWII memorial bench replacement cost.
Come to the March meeting to hear from one of our Assistant Commonwealth's Attorneys. Our guest speaker is Kenneth "Ken" Gibson. Ken works in the Juvenile Unit for the Commonwealth's Attorney office. The topics for discussion are still open, but I understand they will include juvenile crime and will touch on other areas that are important to our residents. And now for one of those facts that will really get everybody out of the house on Monday night for the Civic League Meeting: Ken is a neighbor! That's right, I understand Ken recently bought a house in Colonial Place on Mayflower Road. So, come to the meeting, and give Ken a warm welcome to the neighborhood. Not only will we get to hear about important issues, we'll get to meet one of our new neighbors. I'll look forward to seeing everybody there.
Sponsored by North Colley Partnership, your neighborhood businesses.

Help keep our neighborhood friendly, safe and looking good, and at the same time, avoid getting a parking ticket. Many of our neighbors have been asking for more strict enforcement of the city's parking ordinance. There have been several motor vehicle accidents and countless near-misses on our streets. Pedestrians (especially children, parents with baby strollers and senior citizens) should not have to walk in the street because a vehicle is blocking the sidewalk. Let's all be well mannered and thoughtful and keep the parking ticket books from seeing the light of day in Colonial Place and Riverview. I know you all can do it!! In response to complaints forwarded to the Civic League, NORFOLK POLICE OFFICERS WILL TICKET VIOLATORS BEGINNING MID MARCH.
Observe the following to avoid a parking ticket and/or having your vehicle towed: Don't block the sidewalk or a driveway (including your own) on the city's right-of-way - 2 feet from the house side of sidewalk to the curb. Park at least 20 feet from any corner and 15 feet from fire hydrants. Park no further than one foot from the curb. Keep the wheels of your vehicle on paved surface. Do not straddle curb or park in grass. Park in the direction of traffic flow - on the proper side of street. Do not park commercial vehicles, trailers, boat trailers, or campers on the street or the city's right-of-way.
Ticket fees range from $35 to $50 per offense, and towing fees start at $65.00!! Please be responsible. Our PACE officer, Jim Prentice, will be available at the March meeting to answer any questions.
Because of work and family responsibilities, Tilford Flowers has respectfully stepped back as chair of the Crime Prevention Committee. Tilford will stay involved in the community with a variety of other efforts. We thank Tilford for his community service.
I'll bet you'll agree that feeling safe and secure in your home and in your community is extremely important to our quality of life! Please contact one of your Civic League officers today if you feel you or someone you know would be just the right person for the job. All it takes is just a little of your time and a willingness to help your community! We have a team ready to help you get started. The volunteers that operate your civic league are largely responsible for the renaissance taking place in the community. We must be vigilant and continue the good work, or we risk losing the fruits of our labor. Volunteer just a few minutes here and there to help your community. Call Today!! I promise you'll have fun, meet new and interesting people, and improve your neighborhood, all at the same time. Do It Now!!
It's that time of the year when contractors appear, offering big promises to homeowners needing things done around the house. But watch out. A few of these contractors may be fair-weathered and unscrupulous. Avoid an expensive disaster by simply checking them out in advance. Call the Better Business Bureau's 24-hour Anytime Line at 531-1300. Also, it's a good idea to use contractors referred by friends or neighbors
The city has done a wonderful job of landscaping the World War II Memorial on Mayflower Road. Our thanks to Audrey Webb, Beautification Committee Chairperson, for making that happen. We are planning a rededication ceremony for Memorial Day weekend, so mark your calendars.
Are you a WWII veteran? Do you know someone in the neighborhood who is? Call the Fitzgibbons at 628-8338 to tell us about a WWII veteran in the neighborhood you know.
The Neighborhood Pride Tour series, is a part of a year-long celebration of the Good Neighbor Campaign. This urban voyage began in February and will continue through November of 2001.

The tours will take place on designated Saturdays throughout the year, and will be free and open to the public. The tours will primarily focus on different areas based on original boundaries and 9 subsequent annexations that have occurred over the past 155 years. Each tour will begin at 11:00 am and will last roughly 1 ˝ hours, and will depart from Lot G at Harbor Park. These tours will take a broad look at the traditions, stories, and people of Norfolk. Tour guides who live and work in Norfolk will be sharing their stories and experiences. You will learn the history of local landmarks and discover the City's cultural amenities and entertainment venues. Lastly, participants will gain knowledge of the many advances that have been made to improve the quality of life throughout the city.

This information is provided to make trash and recycling pick-up easier for you. Trash is picked up every Thursday in our two communities. Recycled items are picked up every other week on Thursday. The SPSA curbside recycling pick-ups for the months of March and April are as follows: March 22, April 5, and April 19.
To improve code enforcement and to keep the cost of trash pick-up down, the City will only pick up solid waste that is in City-provided containers, items outside City containers previously called-in for special collection, recycled items, and yard waste within City regulations. Waste that does not fall into one of these categories will not be collected. Collection begins at 7:00 am, on collection day. Place the container at the curb no earlier than 5:00 pm, the day before collection and no later than 7:00 am, on the day of collection. To make collection possible for the automated garbage trucks, place the container at least six feet away from vehicles and other obstructions.
All garbage and trash must be placed inside the container so that the lid closes completely. Should you regularly generate more refuse than a single 90-gallon container will hold, the City will provide an additional container for an additional fee. Items that will not fit in the container must be scheduled for special collection by calling Waste Management at least one day in advance, prior to 3:00 pm.
After trash collection, empty containers should be removed as soon as possible, but no later than midnight on the day of collection. If you are unable to handle a 90-gallon container due to age or physical limitations, please call Waste Management and they will schedule a visit by one of their inspectors. In such cases, they will either provide a smaller container or place you on their exempt list.
Call Waste Management at 441-5813 to request their services, or you can access their web page at http://www.norfolk.va.us/publicworks/waste.htm. Please keep our community clean by following these guidelines.
If you care about the quality of your neighborhood; the value of your home; the future of your community; or the vitality of your city, then this meeting is for you!
The City and people from neighborhoods across Norfolk are working together to produce a Strategic Improvement Plan for Norfolk's Neighborhoods. Research and public input for the Plan has been going on for the past six months. Community meetings were held in four Norfolk areas in December and February. The March meeting will be the first citywide meeting for all Norfolk residents to attend - to learn and share their thoughts about the Plan.
When: Wednesday, March 21, 2001, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
Where: Granby High School at 7101 Granby Street
For more information contact: Steve Morales at 623-1111. You can also contact me, Kathy Stark, Neighborhood Strategic Plan Advisory Board Member, at 640-8938.
Apologies go to Mary Barnett, whose name I mistyped in last month's newsletter article, "Granby Street Beat."
For those of you who have recently sent in your membership application, thank you very much. I would like to update you on your membership status. The membership chair left for a vacation during the month of February and left me with some cards to hand out. Due to the overwhelming response to membership renewals, I did not have enough cards to distribute to all of you. Please do not send another check for membership if you haven't received your card yet. Several of you have done that already, and I will be returning those checks along with your cards. I will be distributing the cards that I had before you receive this newsletter. Rest assured, you will receive your membership card as soon as our membership chairman returns from his vacation. Thank you for your patience in this matter. If you have any questions call me, Jeff Stark, at 640-8938.
Mark your calendar for a very special event at Knox Presbyterian Church on Saturday, March 17, 2:00 pm. The Arts Within Reach program will present Barbara Chapman with her harp and Debra Wendells Cross with her flute, featuring the work of local composers. Those attending Barbara and Debra's programs in the past have really enjoyed these two artists very much, both for their fine music and for the rapport they establish with the audience. We hope you will all take advantage of this concert. As always there is no charge for this event.
Environmental Action Awards: The Norfolk Environmental Commission is once again sponsoring an awards program to recognize individuals and organizations which have improved Norfolk's environment through individual action or group stewardship in the past fiscal year, ending June 30, 2001. If you are aware of an organization that has made an extraordinary contribution to help promote the conservation or beautification of the environment, please give me, Audrey, a call at 623-1197.
Neighborhood Clean-Up Day: Please mark your calendars for March 31, our next clean-up day. Dumpsters will be in the same locations as before. Please, no hazardous materials such as paint or garden chemicals. The City requires that all items be placed in the dumpster and not left to the side.
Tree Trimmings: The residents of the Virginia Zoological Park are very hungry this time of year. Some of their favorite tree boughs (bamboo, photinia, and magnolia) are in short supply. Tree trimmings can be delivered to the Zoo, but please call the Horticultural Division (441-2374) to determine if your particular boughs are acceptable. They will also give you directions for delivery or pick-up. Winter and late autumn are especially good times to supplement the animals' needs.

Jan Brewer Calls for Federal Decision on Medical Marijuana
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer ordered state Attorney General Tom Horne to get a federal court's ruling on whether the state can implement its medical marijuana law on Tuesday, citing her fear that people could end up being prosecuted by the federal government.
Personally opposed to the initiative, Brewer nevertheless said she "believe[s] in the will of the people."
However, she continued, "Unfortunately, with this piece of legislation, there are some pretty serious consequences if we don't get them resolved. And I, as governor, am not willing to put those people at risk."
The law, passed by initiative in November, allows Arizonans with doctor's certification to be treated with marijuana. However, this is seen by many to be in direct violation of federal statues that make possession, sale and transportation of the drug a felony.
Expressing her legal concerns, Brewer cited a letter from Dennis Burke, the U.S. Attorney for Arizona, to the state's health chief. She perceived the letter to be a warning that anyone involved in the medical marijuana process could be liable for prosecution by his office. This includes patients, dispensary operators, landlords and even state health officials.

The results of the World Bank's "Doing Business Report 2014" reaffirm the views and concerns of the Association of Large Scale Development Projects over the negative impact red tape has on business activity in Cyprus and how it blights the country's efforts to attract investments.
The report, presented by the Cyprus Investment Promotion Agency (CIPA) last Friday, indicates how easy it is to do business in a total of 189 countries.
While Cyprus ranked 39th in the report's overall standings, it held 103rd place in the field of property registration and 108th in providing building permits. Compared with 2013, the performance waned when it came to indexes such as, "performance contracts" and "starting a new business". Furthermore, in order to secure building permits one must go through nine procedures, while the time needed to secure the permit is estimated at 677 days. In the report's ten indexes, Cyprus improved its ranking in only three, remained steady in one and declined in six.
The Association, that represents 25 of the island's major developers, is calling on the government and all stakeholders to move ahead with all the necessary measures that will contribute to reducing bureaucracy, update and speed up the procedures, so as to create a more business friendly environment.
"Growth and bureaucracy are two incompatible concepts," said Association press spokesman Andreas Demetriades, adding that "if we want to attract investors, we must as a state create the business friendly environment required and offer the necessary incentives".
He explained, "Competition is intense; in many cases, bureaucratic dysfunctions and onerous conditions have led foreign investors to seek other, more business friendly destinations".

The heavy rain this year makes some Rockford area rivers treacherous for boaters this 4th of July especially the Rock. We sent 13 News Reporter Rebecca Klopf to ride along with the people who patrol the waterways, the Illinois Conservation Police. They say they won't hesitate to give people a ticket for not following the rules.
Things are supposed to be pretty slow on the Rock River this 4th of July. We are not talking about the number of boaters but your speed. There is no wake allowed on the Rock River in Winnebago and Ogle Counties right now.
"There's debris that's in the water in the high water conditions that is not normally there. There river changes under these current conditions the current can be faster," says Officer Dennis Frichtl, Conservation Police.
That has conservation police keeping an extra close eye on boaters. They are allowed to pull over a boat at anytime for no reason to do a safety inspection.
"We are trying to make sure that they are safe when they are out there particularly that they are not consuming alcohol to the point that they are under the influence as far as the operators are concerned," says Officer Frichtl.
Illinois law allows people to drink if they are driving a boat as long as they're not intoxicated. But conservation police warn some of the worst accidents and death happen when you mix the two. Officers also say the holiday brings out many inexperienced boaters and it's important drivers stay alert.
"Fourth of July or something like that where you have a high concentration of boats and you mix inexperienced sometimes, coupled that with alcohol, coupled that with the nuances of the river conditions and you can have a very dangerous environment," says Officer Frichtl.
Conservation Police plan to patrol the Rock River late into the night along with the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department and say they will arrest drunk boaters and take them to jail.

Hunting with older dog
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Assess your dog
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Ending the season
Even though wild bird season ended in late January, there's still at least a month and a half of upland hunting remaining at many of the pheasant hunt clubs around the state. Accessing these clubs not only extends your hunting enjoyment beyond the regular season, but they are great places to tighten up any of your dog's looseness that the regular season may have created.
I don't think any hunter will argue with the fact that his dog's discipline level slips during the regular hunting season and the animal begins taking more and more liberties. We train our dogs to perform given tasks in a certain way, but as the season wears on, the excitement of each hunt begins to erode away the discipline and level of performance in many of his trained commands. An added benefit of hunting at one of these clubs is that they plant the birds for you.
Experienced workers will usually plant the birds in a predictable, staggered pattern within the assigned boundaries of your field and knowing the general area of the planted birds is always helpful when working with a young dog or shaping up your already-trained one.
The more times a dog hunts, the more he gravitates towards hunting for himself and outside the zone of the team atmosphere. In most cases it's very difficult for the owner/hunter to recognize this gradual deterioration of training because his dog continues to work at what he perceives to be an acceptable level of performance. As one client exuberantly explained, "Hell, he's coming up with the meat!" Believe me, if that's your attitude, you'll pay for that later on down the line!
Also, If you are just breaking out a new flushing or pointing dog, these private clubs offer an excellent opportunity for you to educate a youngster on proper hunting etiquette as well as adding needed hunting experience under controlled conditions. Young dogs don't necessarily understand that the command "sit" or "whoa" must be obeyed in the field even under hunting conditions, as well as, in the yard where they were taught. Dogs must be taught and made to understand that it's the command they must obey whenever it's given, and that it must be obeyed in all situations and circumstances no matter how exciting.
You and your hunting dog should already have come to an understanding about which one of you is responsible for certain aspects of the hunt. The most important factor for any owner/handler to remember is that he is in charge: he is the one who sets and maintains the standard of performance for the dog. Consistency and repetition is the bread and butter of any hunt team. By doing every command the same way over and over again, you will instill good habits and your dog will then perform to his best level even in the heat of the hunt.
Often, once a dog is trained, owners are reluctant to discipline their animals especially during a hunt. By working with him now, your hunting dog can get back into proper hunting shape before he's put up for the season. When the 2012 hunting season starts up later this year you will reap the rewards of your timely training.
Have fun training!

With Lightning goalies Mike Smith and Dan Ellis struggling between the pipes, is it time for 25 year old Cedrick Desjardins to get his shot in the NHL?
In recent years we have seen that goaltenders can carry an NHL team. In quite a few cases it has been young goalies to do this. Last season Antti Niemi led the Chicago Blackhawks all the way to a Stanley Cup Championship. Before last season, Niemi only had 3 games of NHL experience with the Blackhawks.
In the 2008-2009 NHL season, Columbus Blue Jackets goalie Steve Mason led the Jackets to their first playoff berth in franchise history. Mason played 61 games going 33-20-7 and posting a .916 save % and a 2.90 GAA. He was also awarded the Calder Trophy as the NHL's most outstanding rookie that year. How many NHL games did Mason play in before that season? Absolutely none.
So, who is Cedrick Desjardins?
Cedrick Desjardins is a 25 year old goaltending prospect for the Tampa Bay Lightning. He is the starting goalie for the Lightning's AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. In case you don't remember, Desjardins was acquired in an off-season deal with the Montreal Canadiens for former Lightning goalie Karri Ramo.
Why should he play for the Lightning?
Well, obviously the Lightning have some goaltending issues. What else is new, right? I think this was especially evident during Thursday's 8-1 loss in Boston. Now, who knows? Ellis or Smith could both go on a run in the next couple games, put up some stellar numbers, and everything could be just fine and dandy with the issues of keeping the puck out of the net. But, at the same time, the goaltending issues could keep going on and the Lightning might have to look elsewhere for some help. Desjardins could definitely help. Why?
Let's think about this. Before Desjardins came to the Bolts, he was property of the Montreal Canadiens. Although he did not play an NHL game for the Habs, he was the number one goalie of their AHL affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs. During his time with the Bulldogs, Desjardins played 92 games, had a record of 49-26-6, posted a .917 save % and a 2.34 GAA. This season in Norfolk, he has played 14 games, has a 9-4-1 record with a with a .898 save % and a 2.54 GAA. It is a drop from previous seasons but he is with a new team and organization so I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. So overall, he has pretty good numbers. But wait, there's more. Last year in Hamilton, Desjardins had his best season to date going 29-9-4 in 47 games, posted a .919 save % and a 2.00 GAA. And who was the head coach in Hamilton last year? None other than current Lightning head coach Guy Boucher. Actually, Desjardins and most of the Lightning coaching staff know eachother well. Dan Lacroix and Martin Raymond, now Lightning assistant coaches, were also assistant coaches in Hamilton last year. Finally, consider that Desjardins is coming from the same goaltending system that produced Carey Price AND Jaroslav Halak. So he is obviously in good company.
I think that he could really help the Lightning. He has a lot of good things going for him and he has some good potential. And really, why not take the risk? The worst that's gonna happen is he plays like Dan Ellis and Mike Smith have been playing lately, and then we can just send him back down to Norfolk.
So now that you have some info on Cedrick Desjardins and the Lightning's goalie situation, I want to ask you, should the Lightning give him a chance to play in the NHL?


text: Well, I just got this album, and here's my review about it:I don't wanna say anything about the 16 first songs cos they're not new songs, we all know that those songs are hits and ones of the best of Scorpions! so if you don't know the Scorps, this will really help you know about their music! but what i wanna talk about is the two new songs: "bad for good", and "cause i love you". well, it's been a few times the scorps were talking about a new album coming soon, and that will be a back to the roots album! well, those two songs seem to be samples from the upcoming ablum' style! and this style's just amazing! althought, musically talking, the scorps have released much more professional albums (pure instinct, eye to eye, moment of glory, acoustica), but weren't really rock albums, a bit slower than the old scorps songs, but those two songs really join between the "on the top" music and the … rock songs! well, if this is the style the scorps are planning for the new album, it will be so good, although the last 4 albums i talked about are the best to me, but this style (bad for good and cause i love u) will satisfy all fans around the world! and still they're not 100% like the old stuff, they really are homogeneous with the new rock music!!! also, about the recording! it just rules! the sound of the guitar is excellent, and also the drums!!!! and the arrangements are so cool (done by dieter dierks), especially on bad for good! thanks matthias for using your voice box on 'cause i love you! i really like its sound! and the way you play on it! keep on rockin' scorps!!!!!! you're just the best!

The Far East and Asia is an exciting and different place to work. You will experience firsthand a culture that is miles away from your own. Education is hugely important to families in this region with parents understanding the value of an international education. Teachers are well respected and behaviour problems are practically non-existent. No matter where you teach in Asia, whether it is Taiwan, Korea, Japan, China, Thailand or Vietnam, you will find a welcoming community full of people from all walks of life.
Find out more about this stunning region in our overview of the area.
"We are here to build bridges and connections between the Chinese culture and way of doing things, and the Western world... What surprised me culturally is how much education and school matters to these children. If you take the time to really care for the children, they will never, ever forget you. I hear 60 year old people talking about their old classmates - education and lasting relationships are incredibly important here.
On weekends I will go to the sports bar and watch Rugby and Cricket. The nightlife - clubs and bars - is really good. As a single guy, the world is your oyster in China. If you are into cycling, there's lots of that around as well as small soccer and rugby clubs."

Yorkshire Dales National Park celebrates its 60th anniverary
2:00pm Thursday 19th June 2014 in News
"ONE of the most important achievements of the national park is reflected in all the many things that didn't happen," says Colin Speakman, founder member of the Yorkshire Dales Society and creator of the Dales Way, whose new book celebrates 60 years of the national park.
That invisible legacy reaches out over unspoilt expanses of limestone pavement; windswept heather moorland and blanket bog; picturesque valleys – or dales – with flower-rich hay meadows, sheep farms, drystone walls and traditional field barns; an underground labyrinth of caves; and the Three Peaks of Ingleborough, Pen-y-ghent and Whernside, to which 100,000 visitors flock each year.
The Yorkshire Dales was the eighth national park to come into being, and is beloved of walkers, cyclists, geologists, cavers, naturalists and Settle-Carlisle railway enthusiasts.
Home to 20,000 people, the towns and villages within its 1,762 sq km (680 sq miles) include Sedbergh, Dent, Ingleton, Settle and Hawes. Boundaries may soon expand to include the northern Howgills, Orton Fells, Mallerstang Valley and Wild Boar Fell. A decision is awaited from the Secretary of State following a public inquiry.
Dr Speakman says 'two remarkable individuals' did more than any others to lead the campaign for cherished places to be protected.
Ilkley architect John Dower and fellow Quaker Arthur Raistrick, a landscape historian, captured the idealism of post-war Britain by promoting the idea of 'lived-in cultural landscapes' where townsfolk could refresh their spirits with clean air and outdoor recreation.
John Dower's 1944 report paved the way for the National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act of 1949, but it would be another five years before the Yorkshire Dales National Park was created.
Many voices were raised in protest at the public inquiry, where one town clerk described the proposals as 'a scheme of fanatics, idealists and those out of touch with the countryside'.
The Yorkshire Dales National Park came into being in November 1954 with two purposes: 'to conserve and enhance the natural beauty, wildlife and cultural heritage of the area' and 'to promote opportunities for the understanding and enjoyment of the special qualities of the national park by the public'.
The park has faced many challenges, not least economic hardships in upland farming; pressures from tourism, developers and second-home owners; the need for affordable housing; and climate change.
The park authority, which has 22 members and 120 staff, works alongside many partners. Some 250 volunteers also give their time – 5,000 days a year – and enthusiasm to guided walks, archaeological surveys, drystone walling and footpath repairs.
Erosion, especially on the Three Peaks, is a constant struggle, with every metre of footpath repair costing £28. The Three Peaks Project offers people a chance to 'chip in' by paying to become a Friend, or buying the official app for £1.99.

Joanna Swiers, policy and performance officer, says taking care of the 1,300 miles of footpath, bridleway and green lane is a major priority. Protecting fragile habitats and iconic species, such as black grouse and red squirrel, is also the focus of much work.
Looking ahead, author Colin Speakman anticipates a continued squeeze on finances, and believes the parks are more 'desperately needed' than ever for their health-giving properties.
"It's preventative medicine, the national parks, getting people out into these beautiful hills," he said.
The world's elite cyclists will be doing just that as they pedal through the Dales and over Buttertubs Pass on Saturday, July 5 for the Grand Départ of the Tour de France.
Some 400,000 cycling fans are expected, and Peter Charlesworth, chairman of the park authority, described the event as 'the ultimate birthday present that will allow us to show off this beautiful landscape to three billion people worldwide'.
Sarah Nicholson, communications officer, added: "What more could we ask for than the spotlight of the world on the Yorkshire Dales?"

Sunday was jammed with must-see television this week. The inexplicably weak-hitting New York Yankees were crushed by the Detroit Tigers for the second time in the American League playoffs, while two HBO shows continued their third seasons: "Boardwalk Empire," limping along, and the still vital "Treme." Showtime's "Homeland" finally missed a beat with a rather melodramatic episode that wound up in the same place as last week.
I missed the start of the second season of the revamped "Upstairs Downstairs," which now that I've seen the superior "Downton Abbey," I may just skip. And I can't wait to catch the Season Three premiere of AMC's zombie actioner "The Walking Dead," which scored 10.9 million viewers in the first showing and 15 million for the night, breaking a cable record and proving that when it comes to grabbing the public, genre always wins.
That makes the premiere the most-watched episode in the "Walking Dead" series, of any cable series, and for any cable drama. And that was without any help from the Dish network.
A year ago with Dish carrying the show, the Season two premiere drew 7.3 million viewers, while the finale pulled 9 million. By comparison, in the 9 pm slot "Empire" has been averaging 2.5 million. "Walking Dead" beat out Showtime's "Dexter" as well as all its network competition, CBS's "The Good Wife" and ABC's "Revenge." This at a time when the numbers for ABC and CBS are significantly down; thanks to its comedy series, NBC is up 12 %.
Variety does a complete breakdown of the week's numbers here.
loco73 | October 31, 2012 2:11 AM
Well deserved numbers, as "The Walking Dead" is an excellent show, bar none one of the best I've ever seen. I really like "Boardwalk Empire", I gave up on "Homeland" after the ending of the first season...no interest there anymore, its turning like "24" a show that shouldn't have lasted past its first season. "Homeland" would have worked better as a mini-series.
"The Walking Dead", "Boardwalk Empire", "The Killing" (while it was on) and my absolute favourite series of all time, "Game Of Thrones", are shows that make TV watching fun!
Daniela | October 16, 2012 4:12 AM
I'm Italian and my 2 favorite series are The Walking Dead and Boardwalk Empire. They're both superb in their genres. They can't be compared, but it's the best television that I've seen ever. Americans do it much better!
Nelson | October 15, 2012 8:47 PM
I am an avid watcher of Boardwalk Empire. It is by far the best show on TV. You cannot compare The Walking Deads numbers to Boardwalk. HBO and Showtime are paid channels, AMC is not. Majority of cable viewers do NOT pay for showtime or hbo. Boardwalk is a far superior show to Dexter and Walking Dead.

There has been a lot of discontent around the Knicks fanbase and that discontent is sure to grow now that the Miami Heat appeared poised to win a title. First Pat Riley jumps ship without bringing us a championship to go to Miami. Then Lebron snubs us to go to Miami and then has the nerve to lead them to a championship! Some of you who are more sane will need to help your brothers and sisters through this one. But all things considered I am in a happy place today because I like the direction the Knicks are headed.
For all the lamenting about Amar'e Stoudemire, lets face facts he was the best player willing to sign here as a free agent in 2010. In his first two seasons he has been solid. He has averaged 21.4 pts and 8 rebounds in his first two seasons as a Knick. For Knicks players acquired through free agency or trades you have to go back to Bernard King (23.8) to find a player who averaged more points in his first two full seasons. Remember Carmelo's 2nd full season will be next season so he may eclipse that. His 8 rebounds per game represent the best rebounding rate for a Knicks acquisition in their first two seasons since Charles Oakley. Amar'e painfully flawed but he has been pretty damn solid if you have to go back to Bernard King and Charles Oakley to find two guys who put up better numbers in scoring and rebounding respectively. Is he a mega-superstar, not at all, is he a better player than we have had in awhile yes.
Amare also helped get us Carmelo Anthony. Carmelo has been pretty much what he is since he has been here. Carmelo's biggest problems are as follows:
1. He is not Lebron
2. He is not what we want him to be
3. He is not what some people claimed he was
What the Knicks have in Carmelo Anthony is Bernard King. We loved King when he played here, not because he was as good as Magic or Bird, or Dr. J, but because on any given night when Bernard had his A game, he could go toe to toe with those guys and sometimes get the better of them. People packed the Garden to see Bernard play because on any given night you could see greatness. Notice I did not say every night. That is what Carmelo gives you, he like Bernard is great for giving fans moments. Knicks fans already talk about the 42pt game he threw up against Boston when Amare and Chauncey went down. Or Christmas day this season when he scored 37pts and absolutely dominated the 4th quarter or Easter Sunday when he threw up 42 to beat the Bulls including the game winner. If we can stop expecting Carmelo to be what he is not and appreciate what he is, then we will enjoy watching the Knicks much more. I disagree with those who say his style of play isn't entertaining, because I will be the first to admit, he entertained the hell out of me in several games last season.
Then we acquired Tyson Chandler and what is not to like about a guy who plays hard can carry a team defensively and win DPOY. Tyson is simply the best player we have had at Center since Patrick Ewing, that says a lot to me.
You can talk about how those three guys don't fit together all day if you wish, I do not care. I would rather have those guys than what we had say the five seasons before Amar'e agreed to sign here. For those who don't remember here are the loss totals for the 5 seasons prior to the Amar'e signing: 59,49, 59, 50, and 53 games. The Knicks average a record of 28-54 in the 5 seasons prior to Amare. Say what you want, but with Chandler, Carmelo, and Amare we have a better chance over the next few years of going 54-28 than we do 28-54. May not mean much to some of you but means a lot to me. I rather enter a season anticipating 50 wins than dreading 50 losses before the team has even played a game!
The Knicks have also done some nice things in the draft of late. Bitch about Landry Fields all you want. How many players taken with the 39th pick have averaged 9.3 pts, 5.4 rebounds, and 2.2 assists in their first two seasons in the last 10 years. Only one player Jonas Jerebko has put up similar numbers in his first two campaigns. And Landry has grossly out performed the last guard the Knicks took at 39, remember Lavar Postell? Iman Shumpert will be one of the top 5 player in the 2011 draft when it is all said and done.
The Knicks have even done a good job finding players off the scrap heap. Shawne Williams, Steve Novak, and Jeremy Lin all were players the Knicks took off the street who came in and produced. When I first joined here I used to listen to all the complaints about how come the Knicks don't find players like that but now we do.
Want to argue that the Knicks overpaid for Amare or Carmel or Chandler, sure go ahead I will chalk that up to old habits dying hard. However, given that in the past we overpaid for Eddy Curry, Quentin Richardson, and Jerome James, I would much rather overpay for the guys we have now. Can this group of Knicks win a championship, maybe not, but then again I was 12 the last time a group of Knicks did, so that is not much of an argument to me. We have a competitive team and I am happy. Predictions about ceilings are BS we have a team that we can watch, lets watch them.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — That was then, this is now.
That overly simplistic summary nonetheless seems to express the state Department of Environmental Protection's findings regarding Pavilion Beach, and the fact that it likely does not qualify for added barrier beach development protection. And the DEP should use that same logic if and when it issues conditions for development of the Beauport Gloucester LLC hotel project so that it and the related Commercial Street and Fort neighborhood infrastructure can go forward, providing the jobs and other economic boosts that this project promises to deliver.
The findings of the DEP — outlined in an April 2 letter to attorneys and the Port Community Alliance citizens' group, then largely reiterated last week in documents submitted to DEP appeals administrators — show that Pavilion Beach was a barrier beach, even though it is clearly well-sheltered by Gloucester's Outer Harbor. But they key word is "was" — not is.
In effect, the DEP recognizes that the beach off the old Birdseye property, the targeted site of the new hotel, has been so "encapsulated" by pavement for the past 40 years or more that "the land form has lost its coastal dune characteristics and functions." And that the "performance standards for work in the area may be irrelevant" under the Wetlands Protection Act or other environmental mandates that could preclude or regulate building on a barrier beach today.
There are, to be honest, some questions to be answered here. Those include one raised by Gloucester attorney Michael Faherty, who, in representing Mortillaro's Lobster Company across from the Birdseye site, claims that the DEP is overstepping its bounds by suggesting how the dunes and land mass functions — not simply determining whether the beach qualifies as a barrier.
But another legitimate question is why none of these objections have been raised over the last four decades or more, including years when the Birdseye plant itself was still functioning, but when perhaps something could have been done to preserve the "barrier beach." And despite the report by UMass-Amherst professor emeritus Paul Godfrey, who cited Pavilion's barrier beach characteristics and the need to restore eelgrass in the outer harbor, no one has raised these concerns until the issue loomed as a means of stopping a project that the neighbors don't want.
Is anyone calling for changes to Mac Bell's Chamber of Commerce building, or adjacent houses at the end of Beach Court? For removal of The Tavern? Is anyone crying out for removal of the new Greasy Pole Dock to restore eelgrass off the beach?
Off course not — and they shouldn't. The fact is, any determination and any DEP conditions regarding the Beauport Gloucester hotel project must be based on status and condition of the land as it is now — not on what it might have been 40 years ago or more. That was then, this is now, and this project is important to Gloucester's future.

Inside Metro Hospital, about one third of those who've been admitted probably have the flu. That's according to Doctor Craig Bates. Flu Season is in full swing right now.
"At least half the patients I've had here in our observation unit, of the 14, were related to the viral symptoms which could be related to the influenza or other viruses," says Dr. Bates.
Besides the way the flu makes you feel with body aches, coughing, runny nose and fever, some forget how deadly the virus can be. Fifty thousand people die from the flu every year. Five have died in Texas so far from the swine flu strain.
"It seems like a lot of the people with respiratory illnesses, asthma or emphysema - those are hit the hardest that we have to admit to the hospital.
But perfectly healthy people can also be taken down by influenza.
"Don't underestimate how severe influenza can be. It really is a big deal. It isn't just having a little virus. It's still worth getting vaccinated."
Getting a flu shot is the easiest and most effective way of protecting yourself. Many insurance companies will pay for you to get the shot.

<hardware> A type of computer peripheral connector so named because one side is shorter (with one less pin) than the other giving a (squarish) "D" shape. The connectors have two rows of pins (or holes). Common types are 25-way (13+12 pins) and 9-way (5+4 pins). They are often used for serial lines, especially EIA-232.

The Republic of Angola covers an area of 1 246 700 km2, lying between latitudes 4° 22´ and 18° 02´ S and longitudes 11° 41´ and 24° 05´ E. With the exception of Cabinda, the country forms a square with sides about 1 250 km long, touching the Atlantic Ocean on the west (giving a total coastline of about 1 600 km) and bordering the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the north and north-east, Zambia on the east, and Namibia on the south. The Cabinda enclave covers 7 200 km2 north of the mouth of the Congo (or Zaïre) River.
The following four major geographic regions can be distinguished:
- The coastal plain, also found in the west of Cabinda, with a width varying from 25 km in the south to 100 to 200 km in the north.
- The central highlands with an average height between 1 000 and 1 300 m, covering almost two-thirds of the country. They are dominated by several mountain chains forming a crescent lying in a roughly south-west to north-east direction and including the Serra Moco, the highest point in the country (2 620 m). This region is one of the main sources of water for southern Africa.
- The northern foothills of the highlands toward the Congo basin, north of latitude 10° S, where most of the country´s closed forests are found, the remainder being located in eastern Cabinda.
- The eastern and southern foothills of the highlands towards the central depression of southern Africa and the Kalahari basin.
Most of Angola´s rivers rise in the central mountains and drain either to the Atlantic Ocean or the Congo River, but those in the south-east drain to the Okavango swamps in Botswana.
The climate is generally tropical in type, tempered by sea and altitude, but it does vary considerably depending on latitude, as well as the effects of the cold Benguela current along the coast. Rainfall reaches 1 800 mm and more in inland Cabinda and decreases rapidly along the coast, dropping to under 100 mm in the south (Moçâmedes province). It is over 1 500 mm in the highest parts of the highlands, especially in Huambo, Lunda and Uige provinces. A dry season lasts from September to April. Temperatures in the coastal plain region average about 21 °C in January and about 16 °C in June. The central plateau is cooler.

A INSPIRED final term from Hillston forward James Nancarrow has lifted the Northern Riverina to 11.13 (79) to 9.14 (68) victory over Central West on Saturday night at Wade Park.
Down by four points after a third-quarter fight back from the Central West swung momentum the hosts way, Nancarrow swooped in wet conditions to boot three goals from the forward flank and shoot the red and blacks to an 11 point win.
Retaining the Matt Smith Memorial Trophy for the first time in five years, Northern Riverina skipper Shane Russell said his side's come from behind victory was thoroughly satisfying after the opposition dominated the third term with four majors.
"After that I just asked for one last ditch effort in the last from our boys and they came through and came home with the goods," Lake Cargelligo's Russell said, helping mark the 90th anniversary of Northern Riverina AFL.
"It's a big thing for us. We're both on pretty much the same scale level with our leagues.
"For us to come over here and beat them at home is a big thing for us. We won it last year for the first time in about three years so it was big for us to come here and take it home with us."
Out to an early lead thanks largely to a sloppy forward 50 conversion rate from Central West, Northern Riverina maintained its advantage at the major break with a 6.3 (39) to 4.10 (34) lead at halftime.
Lifting on home turf, Central West dominated the third quarter with crisp delivery from star mid-fielders Josh Bubnich and Michael Rothnie enabling forwards Sam Herzich and Tim Hunter to kick the spoils and shoot their side to the lead.
Enjoying a four goal penultimate term, Mark Kennedy's team lead by four at the final change before Nancarrow's heroics spoiled the party.
With five more shots on goal than its opposition in the first half, Central West coach Mark Kennedy lamented a lack of polish in the forward 50.
"We probably should have converted a lot more opportunities, I think we kicked something like 10 behinds to two goals in the first half of the game," Kennedy said.
"But the guys have played together for a long time out here, we don't get together we just set structures and the game plan early so they know where they are early and hopefully they execute. I think they did that quite well."
Young's Shane Russell was the home side's best on ground, while Barellan's Jayden Boehm was the Northern Riverina stand-out player.
"It's a really good rivalry. It's good to have this rep football," Kennedy continued.
"You need your good players in your region together and I think they step up another level."
NORTHERN RIVERINA 11.13 (79) def CENTRAL WEST 9.14 (68)

Games That Impact the Broncos
I used to watch polls, until I found that polls hate Boise State. They'd rather Boise State run into them than climb up them. So, my poll-watching days are over. Somehow I bought into Coach Petersen's mantra that they can only worry about the things they can control. I don't know how that happened. I'm a fan, not an athlete. I sweat through every pore from 2 mins of marching band drill.
However, as the actor of a great Scotsman once said, "[The polls] can take away our [fanatic] lives, but they can't take away our freedom [to anticipate the downfall of the teams we hate and those ranked ahead of us]."
With that, I propose to you a rooting guide for Boise State football fans. I will run through far too many games and teams that you should be cheering for which will impact the Broncos' success in poll leaping into the
playoff bowl championship system!
Editor's note: I'm sick, so I won't be spending time on formatting and pictures this week. Please don't fall asleep while reading this blog entry.
Rank 0 - Boise State winning
This first and foremost rank is obvious, and I won't be mentioning it after this week. In order for us fans to enjoy the demise of other teams, we need Boise State to win their way to the top. So, Bronco Nation, cheer on your Boise State Broncos!
Rank 1 - Opponents of Boise State
The best way to make Boise State look good is to have their opponents look good. Whether in computers or the collective hive mind of the BCS
selection committee human polls, a win against another highly ranked ream will always bolster the appearance of schedule for Boise State. This is how the SEC does it.
So, somehow, we miraculously need the Mountain West Conference to play up. Sound familiar? DO IT LIKE THE WAC DID IT! Oh ... nevermind, then. The MWC has some cupcake Div 1-AA teams, but they also have some marquee games against Ohio State, Nebraska, Texas, Washington, USC, Colorado (laugh here), and Cal. So... if there ever was any time for the MWC to step up, this would be the week to do it. We can dream, right?
Cheer for bolded teams
* numbered rankings are from AP poll for the time being, all times are MDT
Miami (OH) at [18] Ohio State - Saturday, 10am - Big Ten Network
Washington State at Brigham Young - Tonight, 7pm - ESPN1
Southern University at New Mexico - Saturday, 3pm - Untelevised (* as far as espn.com knows)
Southern Miss at [17] Nebraska - Saturday, 1:30pm - ABC or ESPN2
Weber State at Fresno State - Saturday, 8pm - Untelevised
Minnesota at UNLV - Minnesota to Las Vegas? How did that happen? - Tonight, 9pm - CBS Sports Network
Wyoming at [15] Texas - Saturday, 6pm - Longhorn Network (so, basically, untelevised)
San Diego State at Washington - Saturday, 8:30pm - PAC-12 Network
Hawaii at [1] USC - Saturday, 5:30pm - Untelevised .... really? AP#1 and not even on TV?
Colorado State vs. Colorado [played at a neutral site ... somewhere. I bet someone will tell you in the comments] - Saturday, 2pm - FX
Nevada at Cal - Saturday, 1pm - PAC-12 Network
Rank 2 - Teams ranked ahead of/near Boise State
Right now, this list includes any team ranked. Unlike the first rank, it should be obvious that we want any ranked team ahead of around us to lose. So, as you watch any games this week, cheer against any team with a number by their name.
Rank 3 - Opponents opponents
Back to SOS thing. This is more for the computers, but when the opponent of our opponent wins, it helps Boise State. If it weren't that important, I wouldn't list it here. So, I've listed the opponents non-conference opponents of our opponents below, sans when our opponents opponents play our opponents .. because we want our opponents to win more than our opponents opponents. Perfectly clear?
Right now this is just an ugly list because I'm past deadline and that whole sick thing again. I'll come in and edit the list later after a good nap (after Kellen plays tonight, anyway).

Blargh! Word vomit, better because you don't have to taste it the 2nd time.
Rank 4 - "What the Hay!"
This list includes teams that should lose based on my opinion. I have no other reasons beyond that. In chronological order.
6pm - Eastern Washington at Idaho - ESPN3: This is self-explanatory. EWU downgrades their schedule be leaving the beauty of colored turf to play in a small airport hangar. Go Infernos! (really, what is their mascot .. some sort of birdkind, right?)
VETO POWER, 6pm - Washington State at BYU - ESPN: So, i'm vetoing myself saying that our opponents should win. A BYU win would be great when we greet them on The Blue™ in a few months, but it would just be fun to see Coach Leach start out on the right foot. Maybe they can bring them to a high-scoring overtime and BYU wins just barely? I can live with that.
7am - Notre Dame vs. Navy - CBS: Finally something to watch besides Corso. Just in time as I can't DVR over him anymore. Navy gets a shout-out in Rank 5 later as well, but Notre Dame relevancy stories have been all over this past month. I don't care much for or against Notre Dame succeeding, so long as they earn what they deserve. And therein lies the rub. We'll see what deal they make up in the future playoff, but for now, down with ND.
10am - Ohio (Bobcats) at Penn State - ESPN: Yes, not such a marquee game but it's in ESPN, ESPN3D, and WatchESPN. If you want to dig your eyes out listening to re-hashed scandal stories, watch this game. If you think retribution is needed to see Penn State lose all their game this season, cheer for Ohio. If you just want to see another B1G team lose (me), cheer for Ohio.
6pm - Michigan vs. Alabama - ABC: I had to mull over this one and please care to disagree. But the way I see it, there will always be an SEC team (or 2, or 3, or 4, or ...) in the top 10. Might as well pick one and hope all the rest lose a lot. Meanwhile, Michigan doesn't really deserve to be here (ok, so no one deserves to be here because no one has played yet) and they're going to play Michigan State later. So they're going to have to lose sometime. But then, they are an opponent of our opponent, so we do want them to win, right? Ok, so I give up in the end anyway. Mostly, I'm choosing Alabama because they're the better team with "more real' football -- like Boise State plays. So my college football fandom wins over my Boise State fandom in this regard.
Rank 5 - Future Big East members
Although these teams will have little impact this year, it would be good for the Big East to succeed this year and improve the conferences perception in preparations to receive Boise State next year. Fortunately, the Big East plays a lot of Div 1-AA teams since they're a Big 6 conference (sofar...)

We all remember where we were on September 11th, 2001. When the first plane hit, I was in my car on my way to work. When the second plane hit, I was watching it unfold in the TV station.
Eleven years ago, 19 terrorists hijacked four passenger planes and used them as bombs to kill Americans. Nearly 3,000 innocent people lost their lives that morning.
Since then, the media has been criticized for repeatedly showing this video of the planes flying into the twin towers, and slowly the pictures disapeared from the airwaves. Now, on each anniversary you might see some footage tightly edited as to not offend.
Consider this:
As the years pass, it becomes even more important that we're reminded by these images what happened….more than once a year.
Our children and grandchildren need to be taught about what that day means, and what America did in response. We all need to be reminded that there are people that hate our country, hate our freedom, and would stop at nothing to destroy it.
So let us fly our flags, teach our children, and show our patriotism. We should *Forever* honor the victims and show their families that we will never forget.

Fork Report: Carson leads Sun Devils to win over Dartmouth
The Good
Jahii Carson scored a team-high 18 points and six assists to pace Arizona State's offense on Saturday as the Devils improved to 9-2 on the season.
Carrick Felix added a double-double, 13 points and a career-high 14 rebounds, in the win. He was also instrumental in the team's late run down the stretch.
ASU outscored Dartmouth 15-3 after the Big Green cut the Devils' lead to seven points with 7:09 left to play.
The Bad
Arizona State, worst in the Pac-12 in foul-shooting, continued to struggle at the line. They made just 7 of 13 shots against Dartmouth.
The Devils also had trouble with their three-point shooting, making just 2 of 14 from the behind the arc.
� ASU had 11 steals, with Felix and Carson each adding four, in Saturday's win.
� The Sun Devils out-rebounded Big Green 42-32.

Which Grade Is Best?
Some say Medium, some say Grade B. Others say Fancy. What's it all mean? All Vermont maple syrup is graded according to its color. The darker the color the stronger the maple flavor. Fancy is the lightest and has the most delicate flavor. We'll leave it to you to explore and find what "maple bouquet" suits your taste buds best.
Fancy (Grade A)
Light and mild maple flavor. Usually made in the earliest part of the sugaring season.
Best For: Cake icings, ice cream, delicate desserts and for making maple cream and maple candy.
Medium Amber (Grade A)
A popular choice for the table. A bit darker and a bit stronger maple flavor.
Best For: Pouring on waffles, pancakes, and French toast.
Dark Amber (Grade A)
A deep color, clean but stronger maple flavor. Typically, made later in the sugaring season as the weather turns warmer. Often preferred by "seasoned" users because of its robust maple taste.
Best For: All around use for cooking and at the breakfast table on waffles, pancakes, and French toast. The stronger maple flavor makes it the best choice in baked goods.
Grade B
Made from the last days of the sugaring season. Has the darkest color and strongest maple flavor of the table grades.
Best For: Cooking and baking. Its heavy flavor is ideal for meat glazings, baked beans, and certain desserts. Some old Vermonters still make it their choice for pouring on a hearty stack of waffles or buttermilk pancakes!

The Kuna School District's two-year, $3.19 million-a-year supplemental levy renewal is getting a lot of attention now that voters are being asked a second time to pass it.
The latest evidence: a spirited presentation and question-and-answer discussion at the Kuna Chamber of Commerce meeting on Thursday.
Steve Ackerman, a levy opponent, and Lori Blattner, a supporter, made their cases to a group of about 50 people.
Ackerman said the district has not done an adequate job of setting priorities for the ways revenue from the levy would be spent. His top priority is educational materials and supplies.
"Funding is for learning," he said.
Blattner, who has three children in the district, warned that failure to renew the levy could create an outflow of teachers to nearby districts, such as Nampa and Middleton. The levy was first adopted in 2012.
Eighty percent of the district's budget pays for personnel, she said. The levy accounts for 11 percent of the budget. It's impossible to take that much money out of the system and not affect people, Blattner said.
The district tried to renew the levy in March but it failed in a close vote, with light turnout. The school board placed it on the ballot again for May 20, the day of the state's primary.

text: Thinking seriously about attending this class on 6/4. Has anybody else gone through one? The only competitions I've ever cooked at were MIM events and that was back in the early '90s. I've never been to a KCBS event but in my reading, it seems kinda like the same thing except MIM is just pork and KCBS includes chicken and brisket. And it looks like KCBS is just one turn in for blind judging instead of blind judging and 3 site judges like MIM. I'd really like to pull a team together and do some MIM events but it always ends the same way. I get a few people that are all pumped up about it until they realize there's more to it than just hanging out and drinking beer. So I think I'm going to try and do a KCBS event with just me and the wife. I was wanting to take this class to make sure I'm not missing anything. We have a competition here locally in Memphis on 6/10 and then some more around here in Ashland, MS and Pine Bluff, AR. Those last two are in September so I should be ready for those.

Early in 2013, the UFC introduced an official fighter ranking system. The introduction came with both positive and negative feedback from MMA media. One of the main positives of the ranking system is that it gives fans a clear picture of who the contenders are in the division.
The negative side of this implementation is that the official rankings haven't made any improvement on how fights are selected. As we have seen in the past year, title shots have been based on entertainment and potential PPV buy factor, not on official rankings.
Just ask current No. 1 Welterweight contender Johny Hendricks. 'Bigg Rigg' knows all too well that the official rankings don't essentially mean a thing in the fight business.
Coming off a destructive finish of Martin 'The Hitman' Kampmann in under one minute at UFC 154, Hendricks found himself as the No. 1 ranked contender. On a five-fight win streak with three finishes, Hendricks expected G.S.P next.
St-Pierre fought in the main event that night, taking a unanimous decision win over 'The Natural Born Killer' Carlos Condit.
So pairing 'Bigg Rigg' and 'Rush' up seemed obvious right ? Not exactly, as the UFC had other ideas. Instead of booking the correct match according to 'official' rankings, the UFC decided to go with a different option: Nick Diaz was given the title shot against St-Pierre.
Diaz was a former Strikeforce Welterweight champion but the match failed to make sense from a fan and media perspective. Diaz was coming off a loss to Condit for the interim championship; St-Pierre had just beaten Condit. So matching the two up seemed unfair.
It isn't the first time the UFC has done this. Earlier this year Chael Sonnen was granted a Light-Heavyweight title fight against kingpin Jon Jones when he was coming off a second round TKO to former middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
It seems the Official rankings haven't changed much, if anything at all. Luckily for Hendricks he's now got a match setup with GSP next week at UFC 167. He has the chance to prove to the world that he should never have been overlooked at all. His path to the title shot was incredibly stacked with talent and may play a role in his performance against GSP.
Such a talented division will often produce high quality contenders, simply from the experience they gain from their fight to the number one spot. Expect to see the best Hendricks ever in the biggest fight of his life. He'll need to against the greatest 170-pound fighter of all time.

THURSDAY, Sept. 12 (HealthDay News) -- Scientists have identified a network of genes that influences whether you are right-handed or left-handed.
The researchers did so by looking at developing embryos.
"The genes are involved in the biological process through which an early embryo moves on from being a round ball of cells and becomes a growing organism with an established left and right side," study first author William Brandler, a doctoral student in the functional genomics unit at Oxford University in England, said in a university news release.
This gene network also may help establish left-right differences in the brain, which in turn influence whether a person is left- or right-handed, according to the study, published Sept. 12 in the journal PLoS Genetics.
These findings, however, don't completely explain right- and left-handed differences in people, the researchers said.
"As with all aspects of human behavior, nature and nurture go hand-in-hand," Brandler said. "The development of handedness derives from a mixture of genes, environment and cultural pressure to conform to right-handedness."
About 90 percent of people are right-handed. Humans are the only species with such a strong bias in handedness.

The Nemours Foundation has more about being left-handed.

Number of ratings 32 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Professor Sholl is a funny and passionate teacher. He loves what he teaches, and its obvious, which makes for an interesting class. He is a talented, intelligent professor, I would suggest to anyone studying religion.
Dr. Sholl is very passionate about THL and teaching. A really funny teacher that keeps the class interesting. There are 3 tests and 1 paper. Tests are easy, but a lot of writing. If you pay attention in class, take good notes, and skim the readings you'll pass the class.
real funny teacher.keeps class lively...test can only be simple if you are interested in class.As for me, I was so not.
Dr. Sholl is a great teacher. I was expecting to be really bored in class, but wasn't. He keeps class interesting and definitely has a passion for THL and teaching. Tests are ALL essay. Altho your hand might be sore bc of all the writing, it really isn't that hard. If you pay attention in class, take good notes, and skim readings you'll do fine.
This is a really great class. The tests are difficult, but it's very possible to do very well if you study. Class is interesting and Sholl knows what he's talking about.
Sholl is very intelligent and knows what he's talking about, but the tests are IMPOSSIBLE!! your grade is only made up of 3 tests and a paper and all are graded extremely hard.
Lectures make no sense, need to be able to ID every single reading that he has read, way too deep for a 100 level class. If you like Theology, go for it. If not, this class is not worth taking. The grade is only 3 tests and a paper. And his tests are impossible.
def the hardest theology class i've ever taken, but it was worth it. dr sholl is a great teacher and he made the material interesting.
I loved Dr. Sholl! He is very passionate and intelligent about theology. I dropped a different THL class and joined his the first week and I'm so glad I did! He makes class interesting; most readings are primary sources or articles instead of a textbook. Tests are easy IF you read, pay attention in class, and take notes. He's definitely worth it!
Instructor provides extremely clear lectures that are easy to follow because he knows how to keep a class's attention so that they actually learn willingly and effectively no matter how obscure the topic. Loves to answer questions, often in great detail and in a fascinating fashion.
Wonderful, Wonderful professor! His lectures are clear. I enjoy coming to this class because he makes it so interesting. Tests are easy if you come to class and take good notes.
Amazing Teacher! Teaches class with no biases towards any religion. You learn a lot, but the class isn't easy. Show up and take a lot of notes. Make sure you understand the concepts.
If you want a decent grade in this class, you need to show up every day and literally write down almost everything he says and especially what he writes on the board. On tests, if you have a general idea of what you're talking about he'll give you most of the points. Overall, a very interesting teacher and I highly recommend him.
His lectures are sporadic and his tests are hard. But he's a really nice and cool guy. He's pretty funny. Do your reading and you will be fine.
Sholl Dog is the man!! :) Gives very good lectures, speaks clear and to the point. Loves to answer all of your questions and is very helpful all the way around. Tests are hard but he gives you the proper way to study for them. Take good notes! Has the funniest sayings. He makes it worth it to go to class. Doesn't preach the bible, he teaches it.
This class was GREAT. I learned a lot in an interesting way. He's a really cool guy and says the funniest things. ASK QUESTIONS... he likes them and will answer them and they also make class more interesting.
Take Notes,Take Notes,Show Up to Class. Sholl is a good professor and knows what he is talking about but you have to take notes over everything he says. If you don't you will have a hard time studying for the tests. This is a high stakes class. There are only three tests and a paper so you have to do well on everything to get the grade you want.
I took this class last year and it was GREAT. Yes there are vocabulary sections on the tests but BELIEVE me they do help you. Just study them and you will be fine.. Attending class is really the key to succeeding in the class. If you miss one day you are sort of lost because he does cover a lot during class time. Overall, He is an AWESOME teacher.
He was a good teacher..I liked his class. The only thing is you have to remember exact quotes and be able to say where they came from. Take notes on what he says because he doesn't write it for you to copy..other then that its a pretty good class
At first I thought it was a difficult class but at the end, I changed my view. You just have to make sure you write down what he's saying because he doesn't really write stuff on the board or have some kind of visuals. Bring a laptop if you can and you will do fine on the exams. Pay attention to the greek words for vocab. Very helpful and smart

Is it necessary; or am I required to file for copyright protection for numerous lyrics written over a period of years?
In other words; these lyrics are all still in need of music, but they are complete on their own.
Can someone advise me as to what I should do next?
I have had writing work published for newspapers during 1992- 1993 and again from 2000- 2002, but those writings are all owned by the publishers of each paper, correct?
How do I protect writing I am doing that is not directly for the benefit of an amployer? It is for my benefit.
Thank You,
