Well, it is official. University of New Mexico's Coach Steve Alford is coming to UCLA. UCLA has just released a tweet about it:
UCLA is thrilled to welcome Steve Alford and his family to Westwood. #GoBruins— UCLA Athletics (@UCLAAthletics) March 30, 2013
Looks like the list of Billy Donovan, Bill Self, Shaka Smart, Rick Pitino, Phil Jackson, Zombie John Wooden, James Naismith, and Coach Billy Sunday from the 1998 Spike Lee joint "He Got Game" all made the same face when UCLA came a calling:
Let's learn more about Alford,who was a superstar player at Indiana for Bob Knight:
Alford elected to play basketball for Bob Knight and the Indiana Hoosiers men's basketball team. At Indiana, Alford became the university's all time leading scorer with 2,438 points (a record later eclipsed by Calbert Cheaney, who eventually went on to become the Big Ten's all time leading scorer). Alford was the first player to be named the team's MVP four times. During his final three seasons, Alford earned first team all-Big Ten honors. In the Legends of College Basketball by The Sporting News Alford was #35 on the list of the 100 greatest Division-I college basketball players. When The Sporting News named its top ten NCAA basketball players of the 1980s in December 1989, Alford was listed at number ten.
As a freshman, Alford quickly earned the favor of Coach Knight. Dan Dakich, Alford's former teammate and later an interim Indiana coach, said, "Steve was incredibly mature as a freshman. He was getting thrown out of practice then. If Coach respects you and knows you can handle it, he'll do that. When I was a freshman, only Randy Wittman and Ted Kitchel, the seniors, were thrown out." [1] That year Alford helped lead Indiana to an upset of the Michael Jordan-led North Carolina Tar Heels in the 1984 NCAA tournament. As a sophomore Alford was named to the 1985 NIT Tournament All-Tournament team after the Hoosiers finished second behind UCLA.
As a junior, Alford and the 1985-86 Hoosiers were profiled in a best-selling book A Season on the Brink. Author John Feinstein was granted unprecedented access to the Indiana basketball program and insights into Knight's coaching style. The book recounts how Knight once criticized Alford's work habits and leadership ability, telling him he couldn't "lead a whore into bed." [1] Knight later admitted that Alford was in fact an incredible worker and leader, and that the comments were just Knight's method of motivating players.[1] The Hoosiers went 21-8 that year and finished 2nd in the Big Ten, with Alford earning All-America and Big Ten Player of the Year honors.
In his senior year, the Alford-led 1986-87 Hoosiers won Indiana's fifth national championship against Syracuse in the 1987 NCAA tournament. The game was decided by a game-winning jump shot by Keith Smart with five seconds of play remaining.[3] Alford shot 7–10 from the 3-point line, scoring 23 points.
But has his coaching been as great as his playing???? Is that even a real English sentence??? He does have a winning record at 463-235, but he is only 5-7 in the NCAA Tournament. Will he be Jim Mora Jr. 2.0 for the Bruins, a seemingly unheralded hire that turns out well for the Bruins??
Full details of the contract have not emerged, but there are two key pieces to know here:
Sources told CBSSports.com that Alford has signed a seven-year deal worth $2.6 million per year. Alford's recently inked a 10-year deal at New Mexico, and the buyout will be paid by UCLA.
Looks like UCLA is ponying up on this one. What are your thoughts on this hire?? Tell us in the comments and GO BEARS!

8 Oct 09
As the company prepares to launch its annual Major Loss Review on Thursday 8 October, certain trends and observations in fraud, liability, business interruption and indemnity periods can be highlighted.
Jonathan Clark, Cunningham Lindsey's Technical Director, says: "What we have seen is a development of the themes pinpointed in 2008, plus some additional areas of concern for the insurance industry.
"Firstly, the effects of the recession mean that the UK has a growing number of empty buildings which are especially vulnerable to damage and the work of fraudulent, or simply malicious, arsonists. Despite the fact that losses related to empty buildings include neither business interruption nor claims for equipment or machinery, that doesn't necessarily mean that these are not high value losses.
"An increasing number of businesses on Britain's high streets are shutting which leads to an exposure that needs managing as we see more vacant properties in town centres."
Mr Clark also notes an increase in liability claims across the board not just for personal injury but also product liability claims: "When people or businesses are under economic pressure, and they believe they have the potential to make a claim, they appear more willing to pursue that avenue. Often there may be other commercial disputes in the background to a claim and the liability issues require careful investigation and negotiation"
Businesses that are managing a fragile recovery process after a loss, and which are struggling with cash flow, are also exerting pressure on their insurers for early agreement on interim payments, Mr Clark says:
"Policyholders are looking for earlier interim payments and in many cases cash settlements. This heightens the need to deploy the right claims handling teams to evaluate the loss across all areas of any claims. The demand for speed means having the right resource to be able to assess different elements of the case simultaneously in a managed way.
"It is vital that those managing the claims process place an emphasis on isolating the right information and recording it accurately."
"There is an abundance of data that can be analysed in the wake of a loss; the challenge is to balance the reliability and availability of that data with the need to reach conclusions in the right time frame so that the claim may be dealt with without delay. Overall, it's essential to understand the principal drivers for a business and to build a clear picture before reaching conclusions about the claim."
As highlighted by Cunningham Lindsey at the launch of last year's Major Loss Review, many companies are continuing to select a 12-month minimum indemnity periods for business interruption.
Mr Clark adds: "There is nothing we have seen in recent months to change our view that businesses may not recognise the true length of time it takes to recover from a significant incident. Indemnity periods should be in line with a more realistic period of time - our experience points to 18 or 24 months - to repair whatever damage has taken place and recover from the business disruption."
"And to compound this problem, we are aware that lead times to replace vital equipment will increase in the coming year as companies start to emerge from recessionary conditions and compete for scarce resources."
Cunningham Lindsey's Major Loss Review will be launched on Thursday 8 October 2009 at the Lloyd's Old Library, One Lime Street, London, EC3. This will feature presentations by technical experts, Jonathan Clark and Harry Roberts.

the 7th fanfic I have written though this one is the fourth one I have published. Three of the fanfics never saw the light of day and were never published so there may be some confusion.
First: this story takes place five years after the events of Avatar: Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
Lucas was adopted by Arceus and Star
Violet, Klaus, and Sunny Bauderlaire were rescued and adopted by Arceus as well. Link and the Pokemon Champion Cynthia are now married. Also two Arceus came to the current universe from a dying one and now live with Arceus.
Note: For those of you who are wondering about were Lucas, Comet, and Meteor came from, please read my Avatar: Arceus and the Jewel of Life.
So without further ado, let the story begin. Enjoy.
Chapter one: Lucas' 10th birthday
Today is a special day in the Hall of Origin, because today is Lucas' birthday!
Lucas was already waking up knowing its his birthday which he never celebrated when he lived in the alternate timeline. Arceus and Star came and greeted Lucas saying, "Happy birthday Lucas. Today is also the day that you will get your first pokemon," Star is Arceus' mate. She is cream colored with gray underside, blue eyes, and a silver crosswheel. She stands a 9 feet 6 inches. But Star noticed that Lucas was not as excited and said, "Lucas dear, whats wrong? Its a special day for you."
Lucas answered with a few tears in his eyes, "I never had a birthday celebration in that alternate time because there It was only another year suffering at the hands of Team Galactic..*sniff* Our birthdays are never celebrated and instead we're beaten and made to work more than usual.." He then began crying.
Star nuzzles Lucas as she tells him reassuringly, "There, there, Lucas, it will be alright. We'll do whatever it takes to make your birthday celebration extra-special!"
"How are we going to do that." Lucas asked colming down.
"We'll set up a birthday party for you, and we'll invite everyone!", gleed Arceus.
Arceus, Star, and Lucas went to where the messenger pokemon are and wrote invitations to everyone. The ones invited included all of the legendaries, gym leaders of Sinnoh and elite four, Link, Cynthia, Barry, Dawn, Professor Rowan, and others.
While the invited guests are on their way, the legendaries are setting up the party, complete with cake, presents, and decorations, party games too!
After decorating the Hall of Origin, the invited guests have finally made it to the Spear Pillar.
"Arceus, they have arrived at the Spear Pillar", said Star
"Right", said Arceus as he activates the glowing staircase to the Hall of Origin.
Cynthia said to everyone, "Alright lets go." Then everyone ascended the stairs to the entrance to the Hall of Origin whose doors opened revealing Arceus and his fellow legendaries.
"Welcome to the Hall of Origin", said Arceus, "The party's just about to start!"
Everyone came in and gathered at the meeting room with the legendaries to hear what Arceus has to say before the party starts.
"Just so you know, back in that alternate reality where Lucas was from, they didn't celebrate birthdays, but that's all about to change, because we're going to make sure Lucas enjoys his birthday party!", proclaimed Arceus.
"Alright, so what should we do first? Lucas what would you like to do first at this party?" Cynthia asked.
"Let's have that birthday cake, huh?", asks Lucas.
"Alright, Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf, could you get the birthday cake for us?" Arceus asked. "Yes, right away." the lake trio replied in unison. Then minutes later, they came with the largest birthday cake anyone has seen. On it wrote, "Happy birthday Lucas." and had a picture of all the legendaries on top.
Lucas was awestruck, and quite touched, too!
"Wow thank you." Lucas said with joy.
"You're welcome, child.", said Star.
Everyone then sang happy birthday and then it was time for opening presents which Lucas was suprised since he never got any presents from the reality he came from.
Among the presents is a pokeball, but this pokeball is different from the standard model.
"Wow, I never seen a pokeball let alone one like this. I wonder what pokemon is in this pokeball. And what kind is? And who is this from." Lucas asked curiously.
"This special pokeball is designed especially for you, and the pokemon in it is a shiny Eevee", explained Star.
Lucas opened the pokeball and out came a small a silvery colored fox like pokemon with white fur around her neck and the tip of her fluffy tail. The Eevee jumped on Lucas' shoulders and nuzzled him affectionately. Lucas said with gratitude, "Thank you so much! I never had a pokemon of my own my entire life. Thank you." Lucas shedded a few tears of happiness and joy.
"You're welcome, Lucas", smiled Star
"Aw, look at it, she likes you", gushed Violet
"How do you know it's a she?", asks Lucas curiously.
"Well she is smaller than other Eevee that are male. It seems what I read about Eevee that the male is larger than the female." Violet answered. Pro. Rowan asked, "Well since Lucas will start his journey soon since he just turned ten, He may need some companions to travel with him. Also" and looked towards Violet and her brother Klaus, and continued, "You two could also go with Lucas and get your starter pokemon at my lab at Sandgem Town." then continued by asking Star, "Star, who do you think should go with Lucas on his journey along with Violet and Klaus? Any legendary pokemon you suggest come with him?"
"I think Alpha, Comet, and Meteor should come. I bet they'd be eager to see the world, aren't you?", said Star
"Yup!", replied Alpha. Alpha has cream colored fur with a gray underside, and blue eyes like her mother.
Comet is the youngest sibling and is black with a white underside and muzzle, golden eyes and a small horn on her forehead.
Meteor is the middle sibling and is the spitting image of his father, except that his white fur is darker and has blure eyes like his mother.
"How about Eva and I come with them too?", asks Klaus.
"Of course you can." Star replied.
Then the party went on until nightime and it was time for bed. Lucas and his adoptive siblings could not wait until their journey starts the next day.

Unofficial Pucci Brand Ambassador Award
Has anyone else noticed that Hayden Panettiere seems to be wearing a lot of Emilio Pucci lately?
The blonde star opted for another Pucci look at the 2010 CMT Music Awards last night.
On the runway the satin and lace lingerie-inspired dress is spectacular, but Hayden doesn't quite carry it off.
This is a huge shame because the colour is gorgeous on her.
I'm not sure if she's not quite feeling the dress, or her pose is too awkward and stiff but this look isn't working for me.

Measure J Final Vote Tally
The ballot effort to extend the Measure R transit sales tax by another 30 years fell just short of the necessary two thirds voter approval. In the final vote tally, 66.11 percent of voters, nearly 2 million Los Angeles County residents, expressed confidence in Metro and the Measure R program. Progress will continue as Metro remains focused on delivering a dozen new transit projects and 15 highway improvement projects that voters approved four years ago in passing Measure R. In fact, within two years Metro should be overseeing simultaneous construction of five major rail projects. Also the Measure R transit sales tax for transit – approved in 2008 – continues until 2039, so Metro directors have the option of asking voters in the future if they wish to extend the program.
In June 2012, the Metro Board authorized placing Measure J on the November 2012 ballot to extend an existing voter approved half-cent transportation sales tax, until 2069, in order to accelerate the construction of regional traffic relieving highway and transit projects. The measure will also provide 30 additional years of funding for local transportation improvements and operation of regional transit services.
What is Measure J?
Measure J will extend for 30 additional years the existing one-half cent sales tax that was approved in 2008 (Measure R) and is currently set to expire in 2039. The additional funds will be used to sell bonds, which will allow Metro to accelerate construction of transportation improvements. According to a 2008 study by the private non-profit Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC), the current tax costs residents an average of $25 per person per year. Because Measure J will extend the existing sales tax, it is anticipated the costs will remain the same, adjusted for inflation. Tourists and businesses also contribute money through the sales tax. The measure also allows transit and highway funding priorities to be shifted between projects within subregions of Los Angeles County, if approved by a two-thirds vote of the Metro Board.
Regional Impact
LAEDC reports that the projects accelerated through Measure J will advance the creation of 250,000 new local jobs (direct, indirect and induced workers). By starting construction on seven rail and rapid transit projects, and up to eight highway projects within the next five years, instead of the twenty years currently planned, this job creation will be accelerated. The measure will also provide an additional thirty years of continued funding for local transportation improvements (ex. pothole repair, signal synchronization, local roadway and bridge safety improvements), countywide bus and rail service operations, Metrolink and Metro Rail capital improvements, and administration. The LAEDC projects that these activities will generate another 220,000 direct, indirect and induced jobs in addition to the employment advanced by the transit and highway project acceleration noted above.
Taxpayer Oversight
Under the existing measure, there is an annual independent audit and report to taxpayers, and ongoing monitoring and review of spending by the independent taxpayer oversight committee. The reports are available for public review on the internet and in public libraries. This oversight will continue with Measure J.

The Sacred Path program introduces further warriorship practices that extend the basic meditation training. These practices are based on a societal vision and aspiration to help the world. This level of training cultivates one's dignity and natural gifts that are able to widen one's sphere of compassionate and practical influence. During a series of visionary experiences that took place between 1976 and 1980, Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche wrote down the Shambhala texts. The Sacred Path is based on these texts and on the extensive commentaries Chögyam Trungpa Rinpoche gave on these teachings and on how to practice them in modern times.
Levels I to V of Shambhala Training are the prerequisite for the Sacred Path weekends.
In Windhorse, we study the text that gives the instruction for "raising windhorse," which opens the heart and refreshes one's confidence. The practice is a way to bring about skillful and heartfelt social engagement, enabling the warrior to go forward in the midst of whatever challenges occur.

Johanna Demetrakas studied with Chogyam Trungpa for 17 years, and also worked with him on several different film projects. In 1987, she directed the extensive filming of his cremation at Karmê Chöling in Vermont, a watershed event in the coming of Buddhism to the west. You could say that her documentary film CRAZY WISDOM, The Life and Times of Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche had been percolating ever since. She has taught Shmabhala Training programs for many years.

News: Dame Dash Says "Hip-Hop Bullsh*t" Fueling Perceived Jay-Z Feud [Video]
Tuesday, Nov 6, 2012 9:48PM
Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Damon "Dame" Dash recently discussed the achievements Jay-Z has made, admitting he is proud to see his former affiliate enjoying success.
Despite a publicized mid-2000's split, Dame said he has nothing but love for Jay and even tipped his cap to Yeezy.
"[Did I make any mistakes?] Not at all, look at Jay-Z, look at everything, look at Kanye, every success they've had I'm proud of. Every time I see them on television, I know what I did. You know in life, there's tragedies, everyone has them, so even through the tragedies, I was able to deal with my tragedies in a way that other people usually can't. You understand what I'm saying? I'm doing what I want right now. I still feel crispy. Somebody told you [me and Jay are still cool?] I'm going to leave that one a mystery. I have nothing but positive things to say about him. He's doing well. I think he's doing good, what he wants to be, he is and that's what counts." (Global Grind)
Dash also detailed the difference between their business and personal relationship.
"All we did is made a company together and sold the company and went and did other businesses. Why can't two black people do that? Like, that happens all the time. Like, it was a business arrangement obviously. And we do two different kinds of businesses, right? The business we did, we made a lot of money. All good. You know what I'm saying? Maybe what you might want to ask is about the friendship, what happened with that, but that's more personal. [Do I want to talk about that?] Not at all, I need [television personality] Dr. Phil for that one. [laughs] The interest in it is what tells me there could have been things I could have done different so it wouldn't be like that. ... There's a lot of perceptions and prejudices, like hip-hop bullsh*t with it and I wish it wasn't like that. The bottom line is we created one of the biggest movements independently of all time and that's positive." (Global Grind)
Back in August, former Roc-A-Fella rapper Memphis Bleek updated fans on his status with Dame.
"Dame is still cool. I seen him out in London not too long ago," Bleek said. "They put a video out on the Internet about us meeting. Dame has always been a good dude to me, man. He helped me a lot, like I said. ... So I could never say nothing wrong. Things just happen in life where certain people just go their certain way. I had no control over that. I was still a pup. ... Biggs is cool. I don't know whatever happened with his legal situation, but Biggs is my dude. Biggs has always been behind-the-scenes, quiet man." (MTV)
Back in 2009, Young Hov credited Dame for helping build their Rocawear clothing line.
"Dame did a great job when he was here," Hov said in an interview. "I just feel that I have a different way of running things, which I think is working out well. I let people make mistakes, and push them to be creative. I let a design team design. When they feel good about something they have created, it makes them want to do more. It makes them want to do their best. People are happy here. I'm not a controlling manager and I have a great team that makes me confident that things can run well when I'm on the road, and I'm proud of that...Our goal is to make Rocawear a $1 billion company," he said. "It may take us more time than we would like since the economy is in the shape that it's in, but I'm confident that we will get there." (Women's Wear Daily)

Moose in the Headlights: Motorists Warned About Rising Moose Population
FALL 2010 - The State Department of Enviromental Conservation (DEC) is reporting that the number of moose in New York State is rapidly rising, up to 800 from 500 three years ago, and as few as 50 in the late 1990's.
The moose have been establishing a base in the area within the last decade, and with that comes increased sightings of the population by hunters. This time of year it's mating season for the moose -- so we're bound to see them more, and more often in areas they aren't usually seen.
This also unfortunately improves the odds that motorists will see them...with their cars. The DEC is warning those in the Adirondacks and surrounding area to be especially cautious when driving during this season. Moose are very large animals and can weigh in at as much as 1200 pounds, so the damage done can be massive.
Moose are most active at dawn and dusk, which are times of poor visibility. Moose are especially difficult to see at night because of their dark brown to black coloring and their height - which puts their head and much of their body above vehicle headlights.

British electronic trio Darkstar isn't in a hurry to go anywhere in particular on their sophomore effort, News from Nowhere. The album is a slugglishly paced, purgatorial mix of Animal Collective-style sequencing and the eerie, formless minimalism of The King of Limbs-era Radiohead. More often than not, that combination leads the band inside a drifting cloud of ambient, overripe electronica that's as beautiful as it is frustrating and forgettable, making for a pretty but ultimately unremarkable listening experience.
Darkstar has an ear for detail that's been carried over from their harder-edged and more percussive 2010 debut, North. On News from Nowhere, the band strikes a paradoxical balance, maintaining an organic allure despite the obvious amounts of programming and tinkering that's necessary to facilitate their shapeless music. The album is almost silky as a result, methodically layered and plotted without ever sounding calculating. It's the reason why something like "Light Body Clock Starter" can unfold as naturally and gracefully as a slowly blooming flower: Borrowing the metallic sheets of sound that open up Björk's "All Is Full of Love," the track is a triumph of lavish, formless synths coalescing behind vocalist James Buttery's tight-lipped moans.
And yet the similarities between "Light Body Clock Starter" and the Björk classic provides insight into one of News from Nowhere's biggest flaws. For all of its playful, ambrosial qualities, the album is desperately hungry for ideas, and with the members of Darkstar often focused on trivial electronic minutiae, those ideas tend to be borrowed from the band's easily identified muses. One track ("-"), built on hazy reverb and reversed vocal samples, is strangely analogous to Radiohead's "Lotus Flower," particularly with singer James Buttery doing his damnedest to impersonate Thom Yorke's high vocal register. Elsewhere, "Amplified Ease" features the kind of rapid-fire chanting and lo-fi sampling perfected by any number of tracks on Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, particularly "Lion in a Coma" and "Brother Sport."
In other words, not only has this kind of music been done before, it's been done in a much more engaging and original manner by artists of superior talent. Offering the same level of meticulousness as North isn't quite good enough for News from Nowhere, which serves up a wonderfully lush but ultimately rudderless slice of droning electronica that's much too imitative to be anything other than a pleasant distraction.

Breast Cancer Health Center
Diabetes Drug Fights Breast Cancer
Easier Cancer Chemo With Metformin?
Another reason researchers are excited about the study findings is that metformin and standard chemotherapy seem to make each other work better.
"Because of this synergy with chemotherapy, metformin could be used with lower doses of chemotherapy," Struhl suggests. "Chemotherapy is quite a toxic thing for people to deal with, and if one could lower the dose that would be very nice."
Metformin itself has an outstanding safety record.
"This drug at low doses can be considered a very good candidate for cancer prevention before a person has any cancer at all," Rauscher said. "The hope is we can use a drug like metformin and continue to deplete the levels of these inherently chemotherapy-resistant, dormant cancer stem cells."
Can Metformin Prevent Breast Cancer Recurrence?
Ligibel, who was not involved in the Struhl study, has argued that metformin should be tested in people.
Taking her own advice, she is participating in a human study led by Canada's national cancer institute that will test whether metformin can prevent breast cancer from coming back after treatment. The study, which will take place at multiple cancer centers in Canada and the U.S., has not yet begun enrollment.
Unfortunately, Ligibel said, there are no plans for studies combining metformin with chemotherapy. But Struhl said that because metformin is an approved drug, such studies could begin relatively soon.
"We are hoping for researchers to actually try that experiment," Struhl said. "The idea of using this as a combined treatment is the main point of our paper."
"These concepts should be moved forward in clinical trials," Rauscher agreed.

Plans for a new road in Mt. Pleasant are in the works to ease the traffic on Highway 17 near Wando High School.
Developers are building a new road behind the high school that will connect the roundabout at Park Avenue and Carolina Park Boulevards to Darrell Creek Trail.
The addition will give drivers two options instead of one, which should limit the pile ups on Hwy. 17 as teachers, parents, and students navigate their cars onto Carolina Park Blvd. and Warrior Way.
Construction is expected to be finished in November.

Sext Discrimination? Ex-Staffer Claims Associate Sent Her Junk Email Revealing Partner's Privates
Posted Apr 11, 2011 10:36 AM CDT
By Martha Neil
Sued by two former female employees for alleged gender-based employment discrimination and federal civil rights violations, a Dallas law firm is apparently arguing with at least one over whether an associate's email to the woman did or did not link to a photo of a partner's penis.
Plaintiff Katherine Franklin says in a February amended complaint filed by solo practitioner Frank P. Hernandez that it did, reports Texas Lawyer in an article reprinted in New York Lawyer (reg. req.).
However, Simon Eddins & Greenstone says in a March answer in the Northern District of Texas case that Franklin knew the images linked to the email were not of the partner, David Greenstone.
Meanwhile, Greenstone tells the legal publication he changed the screensaver on an associate's cellphone in November 2009 to an "inappropriate" image he pulled off the Internet as a joke. But he insists that no one saw this image except himself and the associate.
The associate, trying to keep the prank going, tried to send a similar email to another lawyer at the firm but accidentally sent it to Franklin, according to Greenstone. It linked to a video of two men, and the associate apologized to Franklin, says Greenstone, explaining that the joke "was never intended to be harmful or harassing."
The associate didn't respond to phone messages from Texas Lawyer.
Although the firm contends that the allegation about the image of Greenstone, among other assertions in the complaint, is inaccurate, Hernandez isn't yet giving up on this claim. Asked by Texas Lawyer whether the associate's email linked to an image of Greenstone, Hernandez responded "I don't know if it was or not, because I've never seen his penis."

A group of tri-state kids got a chance Wednesday to show off their farm skills and their farm animals.
The McDonough County 4-H Fair and Junior Show kicked off this week in Macomb with kids as young as 6 years old all the way to 18 years old taking part in the events.
The 4-H'ers showcased their animals including goats, cows, swine, sheep and chickens.
Some of the kids say being a part of 4-H teaches them responsibility and also gives them a chance to be with other kids with similar interests.
"You're like a leader of your community and your name is out there and it's easier to get into organizations through your school," said Alex Creasey a member of the McDonough County 4H Group.
"Meet friends and have fun and hang out, be able to talk to people you haven't seen in a while and meet new friends," said Haley Davison a member of the McDonough County 4H Group.
The 4-H show continues until Friday at the 4-H fair grounds, with the Cow show Thursday at 8AM and the Horse show Friday at 9AM.

Steve Johnson will be the #1 seed in the mens singles draw, along with Daniel Nguyen, Jaak Poldma and Ray Sarmiento, they will also have JT Sundling & Poldma and Johnson & Sarmiento in the doubles draw. Looks like Nguyen will sit the doubles out, which could keep him fresh for a singles run and maybe a all trojan Final. Johnson the #1 seed this year lost in the first round last year and I believe is the odds on favorite, the only downfall with a ncaa champion would be he could turn pro. This year Steve has played some Pro Tournaments and Qualifing at Indian Wells pro event and done very well, but I feel he will stay at USC anyway looking for that 4th ncaa crown.
On the women's side Maria Sanchez is the 2nd seed in singles and Danielle Lao (#2 at SC) will also be in the singles draw. Valeria Pulido-Alison Ramos and Kaitlyn Christian-Maria Sanchez (seeded 3rd) will be in the doubles draw. Espn should be televising the event in the somewhere not sure yet looks like not in early rounds. Here is a link to the daily schedule 2011 NCAA Tournament Central

Fried Apples 'n' Onions
She's hungry for what Laura Ingalls Wilder ate — so dish it up.
Have you noticed how book food always sounds more delicious than real food? And it has a strange way of staying lodged in the memory long after the details of a story plot have faded.
This recipe — adapted from The Little House Cookbook by Barbara M. Walker — and our Hatbox Cake are tie-ins to a couple of my children's favorite stories. I hope you'll use them as the starting point for more bookish cooking adventures with your kids.
"He asked Royal, 'What would you like best to eat?' They talked about spareribs, turkey with dressing, baked beans, crackling cornbread, and other good things. But Almanzo said that what he liked most in the world was fried apples 'n' onions." — The Little House Cookbook
Hands-On Time: 30 minutes
Ready In: 30 minutes
Yield: 6 servings (as a side dish)
1/4 lb. bacon
1/2 lb. yellow onions, chopped
1 lb. apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or Gala), cored, peeled if desired, and cut into 1-inch cubes
1 tbsp. packed light-brown sugar
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove the slices and cool, then crumble bacon into a bowl.
- Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of grease from the skillet, then add the onions and cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until translucent and beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add the apple and cook, stirring, until soft, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the onion-apple mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Stir in the crumbled bacon and salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.
What's Good for You
Fiber is as important for little kids as it is for adults, and apples are a great source of it. Soluble fiber helps keep blood cholesterol in check and insoluble fiber aids in digestion.

If you've been shut out of registration for Burke Swindlehurst's "Crusher in the Tushar," take comfort that there's 150 additional spots this year for the unique half-road, half-dirt race across some of Utah's highest roads.
The good news came down today in a news release. Take it away, Burke...
Crusher Not Getting Any Easier
Salt Lake City – The one-of-a-kind "Crusher in the Tushar" – the road/dirt bicycle race through Utah's Tushar mountain range – promises to be as challenging and unusual as it has been in its first two editions, race organizer Burke Swindlehurst said as field size and depth increases for 2013.
The 69.9-mile, point-to-point race consists of more than 10,500 feet of climbing on equal parts pavement and dirt fire road and reaches elevations nearing 11,000 feet. Competitors in each of the 10 race categories – from "Bro-Tour to Pro-Tour" as Swindlehurst likes to say – can choose any type of bike they deem suitable for the course with one caveat: there's no changing of bikes at any point.
Swindlehurst said as the race's reputation continues to grow, he expects many of the animators from the previous two editions in his Pro/Open categories to return, along with some new faces. Among some of the top names on the road, mountain biking and cyclocross scene expected to register include two-time Men's Pro/Open winner Tyler Wren and last year's Pro/Open Women's champion Gretchen Reeves.
"There's really nothing else like it, as it doesn't cater to any one specific type of rider or discipline," Swindlehurst said. "Mother Nature plays her part as well. We had hot and dry conditions the first year, and last year it was raining off-and-on, so temperatures were quite cool and there was plenty of mud. So it's a unique event that requires a mix of skills and very well-thought-out equipment choice."
Registration opens at 7 p.m. MST Wednesday at www.tusharcrusher.athlete360.com. Last year, all 350 spots filled within two weeks. Swindlehurst said with the high demand, he has been granted approval from land agencies to increase the field size to 500, but still anticipates the event to fill even more quickly than last year.
The Beaver County Travel Council and DNA Cycling of Salt Lake City are back as Title and Presenting sponsors, along with Eagle Point Resort – site of the finish line – as hosting sponsor.
Entry includes a generous event schwag bag, post-event lunch, awards and prize giveaway at Eagle Point Resort and prizes for category winners including a minimum $7,000 cash purse split equally between the Pro/Open men's and women's categories.
More information on the event can be found at www.tusharcrusher.com.

So I get really really bad at this blogging thing when school picks back up.
Sorry, but I'm also not so sorry.
You see, last year school
kinda took over my life. Studying everyday, all day was nothing out of the usual.
Movie on Friday night? Nope, I have an Anatomy exam. Spontaneous trip to IHOP? Sorry, BioChem is killing me.
While I got the grades, I also felt less happy towards the end of last year. This year, things have been different and I can't say I mind one bit :) I no longer spend the days studying away, rather catching up with old friends at a brand new dining hall. P.S If you haven't heard, Virginia Tech placed in the top three for epic food and they aren't lying! Regardless, I have just been enjoying the beauty my school has to offer. One thing that is completely worth celebrating is my very best friends birthday. More specifically, her 21st.
While I don't have many pictures of the food, we certainly did have a blast and tried so many new foods & places. I may or may not be obsessed with buckwheat cinnamon waffles (where have they been all my life!?) The highlight for me was probably breakfast Saturday morning
Lox is probably my most favorite entrees of them all. And when a place has homemade bagels, well thats just fabulous.
So here is to you best friend/twin/roommate – I hope this year is filled with everything you've been working for. Love you to death. Make me more waffles ;)

The Orange Leader
News around town is that Hollywood is in our area. I have been to Hollywood, walked the Boulevard, followed the maps to the stars' homes; put my hands on the hand prints of my favorite actors in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater. I even tried out to be on a game show at one time. My best friend and I stood in line all day in front of CBS Studios to get free tickets to a show. While we waited in line Sammy Davis Jr. walked by, as well as Thelma Hopkins, who gave me her autograph, and one of the guys who starred in the TV program Starsky and Hutch walked by.
So this was a long time ago, we got into see The Dinah Shore Show. It was a talk show and the guests that day were Redd Foxx and Zsa Zsa Gabor who had just gotten married for the twentieth time. The reason I didn't get Sammy's autograph was because he was only giving signatures to women of his own race, everyone else he turned aside. I hope he didn't always do that but that day it seemed to be his mood. The guys who played Starsky and Hutch were named David Soul and Paul Michael Glaser. Paul played David Starsky and David Soul played Kenneth Hutchinson. David Soul walked by and I called out "Starsky", no response. Then I called out, "Paul" again no response because I got both his character name and real name wrong. After calling out both wrong names I realized what I had done but it was too late for he had gone into the building.
When my wife, Sandra and I first married she worked in Houston during the week. She would drive home on Thursday evening and drive back to work on Monday morning. Being new to being a "PW", pastor's wife, she was having a little difficulty remembering folk's names. One Sunday morning one of the more experienced members of the church asked, "Sharon, one of our church members saw you in the grocery store and spoke to you, but you didn't seem to know his name, do you have a problem with names?" We laugh about it, and sometimes I will jokingly call my wife Sharon instead of Sandra just for fun. It is a great comfort to know that Jesus knows each of his followers by name. "Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; You are Mine." (Isaiah 43:1)

Imagine playing soccer downhill. That's exactly what kids having been doing in Sioux City's Riverside Park.
But that may change if the fields there are remodeled.
Soccer players at Sioux City's Riverside Park have been on an uneven playing field, literally.
"There's a couple fields where you're actually going down hill. The other team's going up hill, which is not ideal," said Costa Tsiobanos, parent.
Slope isn't the only problem.
The fields have been known to collect water pretty easily, making for a muddy mess.
"It gets muddy out there. My son had a game one day, and I was out there an hour before the field with a shovel and a barrel trying to get out a whole section of the field so we could actually play," said Brandon Burgad, parent and coach.
It's been affecting a larger number of kids each year.
"We have leagues in the Fall and the Spring, and each year there's probably roughly about 100 new kids each season," said Chad Rooney, Siouxland Soccer Foundation President.
But with Siouxland Soccer Foundation's plan to renovate the soccer complex, fields could get a kick in the right direction.
Organizers and parents say improvement would mean big benefits for both athletes and the city.
"Our goal is to just get this up and running and be able to have people from out of state come in and want to come to Sioux City to play tournaments," said Burgad.
"It's just going to be another cornerstone for the Riverside SYI Softball Complex as well. It's going to compliment them and make this Riverside Park and even more enjoyable place to come to," said Rooney.
Phase one of the project, which could start this August and be completed for play next Spring, would level playing fields, provide new irrigation systems, and re-seed the complex.
While phases 2 through 4, which are probably two to four years down the road, include improving concessions and expanding parking.
In order for phase one to be completed, the Siouxland Soccer Foundation is still trying to get the necessary funding.
"The fundraising is in the works. We haven't come up with the finalized details regarding it, but we hope to have that out and available here very shortly," said Rooney.
If the foundation raises $50,000, the city will dish out $270,000 for phase one.
The Siouxland Soccer Foundation hopes to raise money through advertising at the soccer fields, along with utilizing sponsors, businesses around town, and parents of athletes.

For PC users, what benefits do Metro apps have?
To put it bluntly, I'm having a hard time being excited about Windows 8.
I really like Windows 8, don't get me wrong. But Windows 7 was so much more exciting to me. I mean, I actually liked Vista. So for me, Windows 7 was like taking a good chocolate cake and adding tons of icing and sprinkles on it. What was good became amazing. And really, did anyone ever complain about Windows 7? Besides the people who never liked it to begin with, that is.
I fully understand that Metro is the future of Windows. So help me out here...
What tangible benefits do Metro apps have over traditional Windows apps for someone like me who uses a keyboard and mouse? For the record, I'm writing that not because I'm waiting to pounce on someone and tell them why they're wrong. I want to hear good things about the Metro interface, not bad- I can find negative comments anywhere, but I would prefer to hear from people who are truly fans of Metro.

Someone is preying on disabled drivers in a Prince George's County community. They are breaking out car windows and damaging property all to steal handicap parking placards.
It is something that you don't like to see -- somebody messing with a handicapped person.
For Nancy Smith, every step is hard work. Smith walks with a cane. She had breast cancer and lymphoma at the same time. She now has arthritis, a spinal issue and a buildup of fluid in her arm.
"It's just a little swollen because I have no lymph nodes there from the breast cancer," she said.
But what really hurts right now is what happened overnight Friday into Saturday outside her condo near Greenbelt.
Somebody smashed out her car window. But they took only one thing: the handicap parking placard that was hanging on her mirror.
"I just think it's ridiculous," said Smith. "That people stoop so low to steal something from a handicapped person. There are a lot of handicapped people worse off than I am."
Prince George's County police have received two reports. But at the condo complex where Smith lives along Greenbelt Road, they tell us it has happened at least seven times in the last two months.
Glenn Bartley told us it happened to his ex-girlfriend back in 2011.
"They damaged all four of my windows," Bartley said.
That cost him $7,000.
"They could have took the car if they wanted to, but I guess they didn't want the car, they just want the permit," he said.
But it says right on the placard that it is illegal to use a placard issued to somebody else. We are told they are still sold out on the street.
Smith just went to MVA on Monday and got a handicap plate to replace her placard.
"It took three hours out of my time yesterday," she said.
The loss of time she can get over, but the aggravation will take a while.

iTunes for Windows SDK released
Arstechnica reports that "Apple has released another iTunes Windows SDK (Software Development Kit). This particular SDK exposes some iTunes functionality through the Windows Component Object Model (COM) interface and will allow developers to write code to control certain functions of iTunes."

From the article: "Also, the SDK should allow people to play AAC files (including those purchased from iTMS) through WinAMP"
Poorly researched article.
Winamp has had AAC support for a while, natively and through plug-ins. Winamp has also been able to play iTMS' DRM-ed files as early as last OCTOBER, via plug-in.
Posted by eric on May 19, 2004 at 9:32 AM (CDT)
eric, WinAMP playing iTMS DRM-ed files via plugin happens to be played on QuickTime, WinAMP is merely a shell to remote control QuickTime. This is according to my last checks, I don't think anyone else have figured out the decryption scheme other than hymn.
Posted by pbox on May 19, 2004 at 1:17 PM (CDT)
Now if they would release an SDK that actually let you use the technology to make some cool stuff. This is more of a PR gesture than anything.
