Two suspected burglars were arrested after running from Clark County police.
Around 11 a.m. Friday in the Truman neighborhood near Northeast 51st and Northeast 40th, a caller reported that two suspicious men were walking around houses and carrying backpacks.
But, when a deputy arrived to investigate, police said the pair took off running. In their wake, police reported finding a window that looked like it had been entered from the outside and a number of items that had been dumped out of one of the backpacks.
That's when police brought a K-9 unit onto the scene. After picking up a scent, the dog caught up with one of the suspects around the 5000 block of Northeast 52nd Street. After his apprehension, the suspect was treated at a hospital for a bite from the K-9.
Later, police said the second suspect was spotted walking through the neighborhood.

This weekend was exhausting, thanks to the newly returned Zoe who has instituted "Bootcamp Saturdays" which meant I spent all of Sunday sore. Thus, I was in no mood Sunday morning when I stood in line at Safeway amidst the cast of Cocoon. The elderly man in line in front of me briefly excused himself to grab some last minute BenGay or Depends, and as soon as he left, it was of course, his turn to be checked out.
Nurse Ratchet behind me couldn't take this and tapped me on the shoulder. "Excuse me, but please move forward."
"Oh, well there's a guy in line in front of me who ran to grab something. He'll be right back."
"A gentleman."
What. "What?"
"It's very rude to call someone a guy. You should refer to him as a gentleman."
Oh my god.
I was so caught off guard, I could barely muster a response. And all I could come up with was, "Well, I certainly didn't mean to be rude."
She sighed. "People of your generation simply have no manners."
Oh hell no.
Suddenly, I channeled my inner Julia Sugarbaker.
"I am 28 years old, with a career and a mortgage. It is quite literally my job to be charming and have manners, and having been raised in a household in which manners where of utmost priority, I can assure you that it's far more inappropriate to correct a perfect stranger than it is for me to politely inform you that the DUDE in line before us stepped away for a moment. Perhaps you might want to turn that judgmental eye inward, because you are completely out of line."
She registered no look of shock or shame, her mind clearly not changed but what I felt was a marvelous statement on behalf of young adults everywhere.
The "guy" in front of us arrived with his dried, pitted prunes. He smiled at me.
"Thanks, dollface."
I turned to Emily Post in line behind me, "You're welcome, gorgeous."
He laughed. "Boy, oh boy. You just made my day."
He paid for his items and left, leaving me trapped alone with the witch who's convinced I'm the downfall of civilization. Angrily pretending to ignore each other, I paid for my groceries, grabbed my bags and turned to her one last time.
"Have a lovely day!" I screamed, and stormed out of Safeway, scouring the streets for a little old lady to help across an intersection…

Playing Angry Birds on Google Glass
Google glass is that thing that everyone is talking about. Yet no one seems to be
asking what, we believe, is the most important question about any new device.
Can You Play Angry Birds on It?
You can.
Well, not right at this moment, but Dekko, an augmented reality startup, is
working on the technology. Dekko CEO, Matt Miesnieks, says that their Dekko
Monkey software can easily be swapped in for angry birds. "The software is in
Beta testing right now," Miesnieks says. "We plan to release our first in-house
game for iOS in about 4-6 weeks."
via media.npr.org
Of course everyone's problem with augmented reality as a concept, is that it
is clumsy, gets in the way of things and is not very sleek. Furthermore what
happens when you're using an augmented reality device and you have to interact
with the real world? Or, worse still, your arm gets tired. Dekko believes they can
solve these problems by building context aware AR apps.
The next burning question is, just how stupid will you look playing angry birds
on your glass? "Input method will use touch-swipe on side of head as normal. No
need to fling your head" Matt clarified.
When it comes to timelines this is what the Dekko man had to say, "I don't know,
until we have hardware to play with, but it's definitely possible." And, with Angry
Birds being among the most downloaded apps on Google's Android in 2012, it
better be.

Jennifer Holliday Will Offer Performance and CD Signing at Barnes & Noble
By Michael Gioia
Tony Award-winning Dreamgirls star Jennifer Holliday, recently seen in a five-concert engagement at 54 Below, will appear at Barnes & Noble on the Upper East Side Jan. 24.
Holliday will celebrate the release of "The Song Is You," her first solo album in 23 years, which will hit shelves Jan. 21.
The Barnes & Noble event, featuring a conversation with Tom Santopietro, will begin at 7 PM at 150 East 86th Street.
A native of Houston, Holliday made her professional New York theatre debut in 1980 in the revival of Your Arms Too Short to Box With God. That role led to her Tony-winning performance in Dreamgirls, and her rendition of that show's "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going" earned the singer-actress her first Grammy Award. She has also appeared on Broadway in the revivals of Grease! and Chicago, and her television credits include "Ellen," "Touched By an Angel" and a recurring role on "Ally McBeal." Holliday earned another Grammy Award for her recording of Duke Ellington's "Come Sunday."

It looks like the decision on who GSoM selects as its 3-on-3 team in the SBN tournament is coming down to two combinations:
- The one we "officially" voted on: Andrew Bogut, Stephen Curry, and Klay Thompson
- And one that was not previously an option, but came up in the comments: Andrew Bogut, David Lee, Klay Thompson.
I think the arguments made justify a re-vote, but it also led me to actually go read the rules, which might have some bearing on our decision.
The official rules of FIBA's 3x3 tournament call for 1 and 2 point baskets in a halfcourt situation, which would obviously mean that shots from beyond the "3-point line" are worth twice shots inside the arc; that would seriously change the equation of value for our shooters.
But for the sake of this mock tournament, we're adapting the rules network-wide as follows:
Games are one 10 minute period -- team ahead at the end of 10 minutes wins;UNLESS a team reaches 31, in which case that team wins (FIBA rules state 21, but that was with 1 and 2 pointers);7 fouls results in the bonus situation;You can't foul out (since we didn't allow subs);12 second shot clock.

The US dollar's foreign exchange rate was lower against the euro on Friday but clawed back from its worst losses, as the US jobs market rebounded and US unemployment fell below 9% for the first time in nearly two years.
US Dollar v Euro
The euro reached session lows against the US dollar in volatile trading following the data, where the euro resumed its recent bull run by rising above $1.4000 for the first time since November. The euro also came back down slightly against the yen after it rose to its highest level against that currency since last May.
US Nonfarm payrolls rose by 192,000 last month as private-sector employers added 222,000 jobs, the US Labor Department said Friday. The unemployment rate fell to 8.9% last month, the first time it dipped below 9% since April 2009.
The reason the US dollar fell is that many traders were inclined to feel optimistic about the state of the US jobs market after the weekly unemployment claims indicator Thursday showed that claims fell to 368,000 in the week ended 26th February, from 388,000 the week before.
But if you drill down into the new US jobs report, it reveals the jobless rate shift was accomplished the old fashioned way, via real hiring, said Brian Kim, currency strategist at UBS in Stamford. It wasn't accomplished rather by the American people giving up on finding work, said Kim.
"If you actually dig into the data, it doesn't look too bad." said Kim. "There are some positives that the US dollar can hang its hat on." he said.
That said, Friday's release was expected to provide only short term relief to the US dollar, because it essentially did not alter any medium term trends that currently define the foreign exchange market and do not favor the US dollar, said analysts.
The euro was recently trading at $1.3992 against the dollar, compared with $1.3967 late in New York Thursday, according to EBS via CQG. The dollar was at Y82.30 from Y82.44.

Well, talk about a match made in heaven. On one hand, you've got Cameron Crowe, the man behind sweet-natured, smart romances like "Say Anything," "Jerry Maguire" and "Almost Famous," films of their kind as good as any that Hollywood has produced in the last few decades (take a peek at our recent retrospective on the filmmaker). After taking a serious bruising after the critically reviled "Elizabethtown," Crowe bounced back with three films last year, most notably the charming, somewhat undervalued "We Bought A Zoo," which proved to be a modest hit over the Christmas period ($120 million worldwide, which isn't too shabby for a film that had some tough competition).
And on the other, you have Emma Stone, perhaps the most naturally gifted young comic actress of her generation, who's delighted audiences in the last couple of years with "Easy A," "The Help" and most recently "The Amazing Spider-Man," wherein she and real-life boyfriend Andrew Garfield were the undoubted highlights of a somewhat patchy film. Crowe and Stone have seemed destined to work together, and fortunately, Sony agrees, as Deadline reports that the studio has acquired Crowe's latest script, and set Stone to star in the project, with bigwig Scott Rudin ("The Social Network") producing.
Deadline has minimal details on the script, which they say is a two-hander with a yet-to-be cast male lead, and a tone closer to "Almost Famous" and "Jerry Maguire." Crowe's had a number of projects in the works of late, including meth addiction adaptation "Beautiful Boy," and an untitled project he described to us as being close to Preston Sturges. But according to one Variety reporter on Twitter, the project is actually a revived and rejuvenated version of "Deep Tiki," a movie that Crowe was to have directed in 2008, and then 2009 when it got delayed, and which was to have starred Reese Witherspoon and Ben Stiller.
We wrote a script review back in the day, but in brief, the plot involved a military contractor (Stiller's part), presumed dead after an incident in Afghanistan. In fact, he survived, but he rejects his former life, with only his best friend, Jeremy, a supercomputer, for company. He's assigned to a top-secret military satellite launch in Hawaii, and sets out with an uptight military liaison (the part Witherspoon would have played) to get a blessing from local spiritual leaders who believe a prophecy involving gods Lomo and Pele is about to come to pass.
You can read more about the script here, but suffice to say it's something a little different from Crowe's usual fare, while still maintaining much of what makes his scripts special in the first place. Presumably, Stone is attached to play the part Witherspoon had back in the day, which suggests that 1) part of Crowe's rewrite, which has apparently been well received at Sony (where the project was set up in the first place), has involved making the characters younger, and that 2) this could be something a little different from Stone, seeing as the character was initially an anal-retentive type. Stone's more than capable of playing that, though, and we're dying to see what she and Crowe come up with together. Interestingly, when we talked to the director before Christmas, he said the film was on the "backburner," but presumably he's had some inspiration over the last six months or so.
There's no word on who the male star might be as yet, but we suspect it'll be someone from the younger generation. Our first thought was Garfield again, only because the two shared such great chemistry in "The Amazing Spider-Man," but they may not want to work together, given that they'd move on to that film's sequel midway through next year. So who would you pick for a part like this? Channing Tatum? Seth Rogen? James Franco? Someone relatively untested like Jake Johnson? Feel free to let us know in the comments section. Filming is set to get underway in the spring, so Crowe and company have a little time to find a co-star, but frankly, Stone could be acting opposite a mannequin and we'd still probably pay to see this in theaters. Assuming all sticks to schedule, it sounds like this'll be in theaters sometime in 2014.

Fuck you haters who don't like Emma Stone cause she is a great actress who can do so much more than you can and she is very talented!!!
1D4Me | July 31, 2012 5:56 PM
Love Emma Stone! This sounds like an awesome role for her. I don't think many people would consider actor Tony Oller because he's not super well known but I think they would look great together. He's a good actor & he's got an album coming out too. I <3 cute boys who sing!
Lucy | July 31, 2012 4:28 PM
Great news! Emma is charming, she was great in Spiderman. I have to say when I first saw Eliabethtown (I was in high school when it came out) I didn't really care for it however when I rewatched it again a few years later I loved it.
zoe | July 31, 2012 8:22 AM
I like Emma Stone but, yeah, this article is a little over the top with the praise!(Lol). Perhaps Indiewire is on Emma Stone's payroll.
Pio | July 31, 2012 4:26 AM
I don't get all the hoopla around Emma Stone which is on display here. I pretty much disliked all of her recent roles, which you seem to praise so much. To me, her performances are universally bland, one-note, wildly unfunny and visibly forced,
pruedish | July 31, 2012 1:29 AM
JGL. They should have a movie together, Emma and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.
oogle monster | July 30, 2012 9:02 PM
Here's a question for The Playlisters: Who would you rather- Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone, or Amy Adams? Annnnnnnnnd go!
oogle monster | July 30, 2012 9:00 PM
This is great news considering how Stone has mentioned several times in interviews that her Crowe is one of her greatest idols. I believe she name drops him in her recent Vogue interview. Good for her! Is it weird that I would like to see Christian Bale in a Crowe film?
dryer | July 30, 2012 8:58 PM
Wow didn't know he was adapting Beautiful Boy. Can't wait for that adaption, though I'd prefer to see him tackle the sons novel Tweak

With grande jetés and fouetté turns and arabesques and pas de chats, sisters Genevieve and Aria Colangelo will dance on stage together in the Northeast Atlanta Ballet's presentation of the classic tale "The Nutcracker" this weekend.Genevieve Colangelo, 16, will dance the role of the Sugar Plum Fairy, as Aria, 13, performs the role of Clara. The sisters will be featured in shows at 2 p.m. today and 7:30 p.m. Saturday. The ballet is directed by Jennifer Gordon, founder and artistic director of the Lilburn School of Ballet, home of the Northeast Atlanta Ballet. A junior at Parkview High School, Genevieve Colangelo has studied ballet for 13 years and has performed "The Nutcracker" with the Northeast Atlanta Ballet since she was seven. She has previously danced the role of Clara and is now dancing her dream role of the Sugar Plum Fairy. "When you're a ballerina and you've been working for so many years to dance in this ballet, it's the one part you want to get to perform before you graduate," she said. "In my heart, it's a dream come true because it's been my dream part since I can remember. "It's probably the most challenging thing I've had to do," she added. Aria Colangelo, a seventh-grade student at Trickum Middle School, has studied ballet for nine years and appeared in a production of "The Nutcracker" at the age of 2. Clara will also be performed by Hannah Watkins, Glori Thomas and Katie Scudellari, and Lauren McDonough and Sarah Bottino will dance the part of the Sugar Plum Fairy. "It's really fun," Aria Colangelo said of the ballet. "I like how it tells about a little girl and how people can dream big and just how that comes true." The Colangelo sisters will be joined on stage by their father, Kent Colangelo, who dances the role of Drosselmeyer, Clara's godfather who gives her the toy Nutcracker that comes to life. "The chance to be involved with an event that is that important to them in their lives, it's just an opportunity that is rare," Kent Colangelo said. "I'm not on the sidelines, I'm right in there playing with them. From a sports standpoint, I'm on the field with them." Kent Colangelo's ballet experience has come from his involvement in the Northeast Atlanta Ballet with his daughters. "I really just got into this because I'm a dad," he said. "It's one of the nice things about this organization to let anybody be as involved as they want to be, which is nice from the family standpoint. The philosophy of the company has always been that way, and it's nice to be a part of that." SideBar: If You Go What: "The Nutcracker," presented by the Northeast Georgia Ballet When: 2 and 7:30 p.m. Friday, 10, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 2 p.m. Sunday Where: Gwinnett Performing Arts Center, 6400 Sugarloaf Parkway, Duluth Cost: $12 to $15 in advance and $15 to $18 at the door For more information: Visit www.northeastatlantaballet.org

Community helps support The Super Kids
There is a unique group of people in the Hopewell area that has been helping those with special needs for more than three decades.
The Super Kids, founded in 1976, is a local group devoted to helping area residents with special needs have a normal life. Super Kids Ministries Inc. was founded by Dolores Lane of Hopewell, who was the twin sister of a woman with Down syndrome. "I realized that she had some needs, that she wanted to be with her friends just like anyone else," Lane said.
The vision of The Super Kids is to provide those with special needs safe activities throughout the year that they can participate in. Additionally, the group is working on building an assisted-living facility for adults with special needs.
The group has social events every month for those with special needs. "We have a big Christmas party for over 200 people each year," Lane said. The group also has field trips each month. "We go to lots of different places every month."
According to The Super Kids brochure, the group's vision is: "All people with intellectual disabilities are entitled to a loving, caring and Christian environment in which to live, enjoy life and have a feeling of self worth."
Other activities were started for The Super Kids such as going to the Richmond Braves games, swimming parties, bowling, dances and holiday parties such as Valentine's and Christmas. The Super Kids began their own ministry by going to visit residents at local nursing homes and those who were sick in their church family. We try now to have one planned group activity each month.
The Hopewell/Prince George County Civitan Club has been a big supporter of The Super Kids. Club president Morris Hudgins of Disputanta said the group prides itself in helping groups like Super Kids. "Our niche is helping those with special needs in the community," he said.
The two organizations come together each year for a car show that raises money for the Frances Holland - Woo Daves Group Homes. The first group home is now 90 percent done, he said.
"There is a need for a group home in the Tri-Cities area," Hudgins said, adding that all of the proceeds from the event go toward The Super Kids building fund.
"Over the past six years, Civitans have given $90,000 towards the effort," Hudgins said.
Hudgins said the Civitans make between $10,000 and $20,000 each car show.The car show is a huge project for the Civitans, with an average of 200 cars participating each year, Hudgins said.
It will be a great day The Super Kids when their first group home is complete. The Super Kids are a great group of people - they receive help while still remembering to help others. What else can you say except that's super?

London - Unseen photographs of the Beatles are to go up for sale after lying in a family album for almost half a century.
The 20 black-and-white images give a rare-behind-the-scenes glimpse of the band as they made their first movie, 'A Hard Day's Night', in March 1964 at the Scala Theatre in London.
They show the band with their instruments but also between takes in off-guarded moments, with one picture of Ringo Starr resting on bricks to boost his height for the cameras.
Taking pictures on the closed set was banned, but Pinewood Studios props manager Peter Allchorne had no problems clicking the fabulous four.
The photos were then put in his family album where they have stayed until now. The 87-year-old from Preston, Lancashire is putting his pictures up for sale at Omega Auctions in Stockport, Cheshire on 19 May.
Allchorne's daughter Jacqueline Griffin said her father was largely unaware of the growing fuss surrounding the Beatles and thought of them as just another band he had got to know through his work.
"It was not unusual for him to be on set and taking pictures. He wanted to take pictures of one of the crew, a mate Alfie, and they were there, it was when the Beatles were on stage,†the BBC quoted her as saying.
"He got to know them quite well but he was just not that interested. I think they just larked about and had a good time. He was not particularly star-struck, they were just four lads in a band, it didn't really hit him.
"He's never held any value on them because he was not into the Beatles, he was just working on the films. He doesn't have any sentimental attachment. They're just dad's pictures. He didn't like the music, he was into jazz,†she said.
A menu card - signed by the four Beatles - from the band's trip aboard the BOAC Cunard, London to New York flight, will also go under the hammer at the sale.
Allchorne's photos of the Beatles on their Bahamas trip have been lost forever because his camera was stolen from the beach.
The remaining photos taken in London, along with the original negatives, have been given an estimate of 2,000 pounds. The entire lot has an estimate of 10,000 pounds.

Judy Johnson
Judith Johnson fundraising for HAITI OUTREACH
With the Maple Grove Rotary and Haiti Outreach, we are raising $ for school and clean water for Haiti.
This is the third year I've participated in the Polar Dunk. The first year I was terrified and thought I would die of a heart attack. I even had a temper tantrum that was filmed and shown on Channel 5 news! Me in a speedo having a temper tantrum on the news - OMG!
Next year, I just wanted in to get the damn thing over with and Jeff Berg and I jumped in together.
Now, this is the third year. Through the foolishness of jumping into a frozen lake on a freezing day in January, and showing the world how awful I look in a swimsuit; I have had lots of friends support me on this thru contributions to Haiti Outreach. Some friends made contributions if I would do the jump and some contributed if I wouldn't jump. Either way, it doesn't matter because it is an excellent cause. I've also had an outstanding pit-crew to support me at the event!
Here in the land of 10,000 lakes, we never worry about clean water - how fortunate we are that this is never an issue. We always have clean water to drink, cook with and shower. Lake Superior (biggest freshwater lake in the world), and the Mississippi river (one of the longest rivers in the world) have been very generous to us Minnesotans!
And as far as schools go, we have some of the best schools in the world within our communities. Our kids have all the tools needed to be successful and make the world a better place.
Maple Grove Rotary and Haiti Outreach have partnered together to help provide funding for schools and fresh water for the people in Haiti who have always had a difficult time but have not yet recovered from the earthquake two years ago.
Please help! Thank you my friend!
ps: it truly is a wee bit nipply out there! brrr!

This charming, split-level café-restaurant – the brainchild of a Kiwi & an Argentinian – has become a Ravenscourt Park favourite. In the ground-floor café, homemade cakes prove tempting to yummy mummies & laptop-tapping professionals; upstairs, serious food is served in well-groomed, convivial surroundings. As you'd expect, there's a southern hemisphere slant to proceedings: coffee is a matter of pride, & the restaurant menu is peppered with choices from the owners' homelands. Dinner might include a selection of empanadas, or green-lipped mussels in white-wine sauce, followed by New Zealand lamb or pampas-reared steak, perhaps with homemade ice cream for afters. The New World also dominates the good-value wine list, which is helpfully divided up by style. Breakfast & lunch are served with the same easy-going allure, capped by breezy, chatty staff.

Core Project: Low-latitude glacier retreat
This project is designed to directly address the CWC climate question, "Does human intervention have the potential to push the climate system such that abrupt climate changes (ACC) become more frequent, intense and rapid?" This core project consists of three sub-projects, focused respectively on Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Andes, and the Himalayas. The basic questions to be addressed are: (1) Do human activities have the potential to push the climate system such that abrupt climate changes become more frequent, intense and rapid? (2) How rapid are the World's water towers retreating? These are the ice fields that provide critical water supplies during the annual dry season. (3) How will the loss of these water resources affect the natural ecosystems and human activities in the affected regions?
The products and deliverables from this project include scientific evaluation of the rate and volume of ice loss with future projections; insight to drivers of past ACC; annually resolved paleohistories; digital elevation models (DEMs) and moraine maps; better quantification of the impact of the ice loss on water availability on local people and their livelihoods and economy; capacity building with local scholars and their students who will gain research experience; provide local administrators with likely scenarios for water resources for planning purposes; media coverage; and several proposals to the National Science Foundation (NSF).

Dez Bryant nearly, almost, came this close against the New York Giants last October.The Cowboys receiver's near-catch in the waning seconds will be shown repeatedly this week."Oh, man...," Bryant said Thursday night when asked about the play. "I don't even think about it."There was a long pause before Bryant added, "I lied. I do."The Dallas Cowboys nearly had a comeback to join the Hail Mary and the 1979 miracle comeback in team history. They rallied from a 23-0 second-quarter deficit, and then, with 10 seconds left, Tony Romo threw one up to Bryant in the end zone.Officials raised their arms, giving the Cowboys a 30-29 lead with the point-after pending. But the play was overturned on replay as it clearly showed four of Bryant's fingers on his right hand land out of bounds first."It just makes me want to get out there that much more and try to do everything right, to try not to get into that position again," Bryant said.Bryant, who had 13 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, said the Cowboys are ready for the season. "You already know we've been on it," Bryant said of watching tape of the Giants. "We're ready. Not trying to give y'all too much, but the tape's been watched."The Cowboys have never beaten the Giants at AT&T Stadium, losing four heart-breaking games by a combined 18 points.Spencer uncertainAnthony Spencer has practiced little in the 4-3 defense of Monte Kiffin.Spencer had left knee surgery July 25 and has said repeatedly that his goal is to return for the season opener.But there were no declarations by anyone this week about his presence for the Giants game."Hopefully Spence will get back," Kiffin said after Thursday night's preseason finale. "That will help us for sure. But we have to have some young defensive linemen come through for us, no doubt about it."The Cowboys already are without defensive tackle Jay Ratliff, who is out at least six weeks on the physically unable to perform list with a groin injury he continues to rehab. With Ratliff out and Spencer not 100 percent yet, the Cowboys are relying on some young players to fill in alongside veterans Jason Hatcher and DeMarcus Ware."Even if Anthony's ready, I'm sure he's not ready to play 60-something plays, that's for darn sure," Kiffin said. "Just hope we get him back for some."Cornerback Morris Claiborne (knee) did not play a down in the preseason, but he declared himself ready for the season opener.Big board almost hit Punter Chris Jones had two punts that came close to the center-hung HD board on Thursday night. He hit the digital board with a punt against Cincinnati last Saturday night. Then-Tennessee punter A.J. Trapasso became the first to hit the board in 2009, with a punt grazing the Mitsubishi Electric sign that previously hung below the board. AT&T Stadium has had 284 regular-season punts without one hitting the HD board.Though Jones hit the digital board several times in warmups Thursday night, he said he is not worried about hitting it in the regular season."I never think about it," said Jones, who has punted only twice in AT&T Stadium in the regular season in his brief career. "I'm just worried about hitting a good ball and giving a coverable ball I guess you could say. The screen is what it is."CutsThe Cowboys have to cut their roster to 53 by 5 p.m. Saturday. Receiver Anthony Armstrong was informed of his release Friday, though he could return after Week 1 when his salary would not be fully guaranteed if he doesn't sign with another team. He is an immediate free agent.Defensive tackle Sean Lissemore, guard Nate Livings, tackle Demetress Bell and safety Matt Johnson are among the biggest names on the bubble.The Cowboys will release quarterback Alex Tanney, whom they could re-sign to the practice squad if he clears waivers.Bass finedThe NFL fined defensive lineman Ben Bass $15,750 for a horse-collar tackle of Bengals quarterback Josh Johnson in the fourth quarter of last Saturday's exhibition game. Bass was penalized 15 yards on the play.

One million visitors and growing -- the Nebraska State Fair looks to its second million in Grand Island. And there's good reason to visit the fair in 2014 with the debut of a massive new building.
They're calling it the Nebraska Building, and the highlight is something they're calling the Nebraska Agriculture Experience.
Chuck Hibberd, dean of Extension for the University of Nebraska-Lincoln was among those touring the construction site.
He said, "The story of Nebraska agriculture needs to be told in ways that share this is how we do things -- this is how we care for animals, this is how we grow crops in an environmentally sustainable way."
They're planning exhibits that could rival those at the most popular theme parks.
"This is going to be a Disney-like experience," Hibberd said. "We're going to have a bunch of different experiences where families, young people can come in."
There will be hands-on activities and video simulators.
Hibberd said, "Sit in the equivalent of a combine cab and see what it's like to harvest the crops."
It's the final building to go up on the fair's main street.
Tam Allan, past fair board member said, "Plans are moving along, building construction moving along. Hopefully the fair office will move in in May, the University of Nebraska will take possession of their space in April."
After construction wraps up, then it's time to install exhibits.
Hibberd said, "This isn't your regular go visit a farm deal, this is about the science and art of agriculture and the people, real people who produce our food."
The building will also house Nebraska Game and Parks.
Allan said, "It's a 60,000 square foot building and this has always been the intended home for the agriculture exhibit, that has been in the exhibition building over there."
That includes 20,000 square feet for the Nebraska Agriculture Experience.
"And what that means is that our capacity to engage a large number of people at the same time is really going to be incredible," Hibberd said.
Dignitaries including the fair board along with city leaders like Grand Island Mayor Jay Vavricek toured the construction site. But they'll need to come back every year to see the exhibits take shape.
Hibberd said, "Agriculture changes every day and this exhibit is going to be designed in such a way we can update it, put new information in, create new video, new conversations about the latest and the kinds of things that are going on in agriculture right now."
It's a $5 million building, plus more to outfit it.
With that kind of investment, the university will have a full-time staff member there year round, developing standard-based curriculum for school groups that visit.

A Rome trucker is fighting for his life back, after he said a wrong-turn has changed his life.
Until the spring, Josh Banks made a good living as a truck driver to support his family, that includes five children.
In March, Banks said he and his father were taking a load from Michigan to Massachusetts. Banks said his father was driving and made a wrong turn, putting them on the bridge to Point Edward, Canada.
Banks said they went through Canadian customs, so they could turnaround in Canada. He said when Canadian border crossing officers asked if the two had drugs, alcohol or firearms.
"Initially it didn't cross my mind, I said no of course," said Banks.
But, Banks said he had a legal gun in the truck.
"That was my service weapon, when I was in law enforcement," said Banks.
Gun laws are different in Canada than in the U.S. The Canadian government charged Banks with several crimes, all relating to transporting a gun into their country.
"It's hard for me to understand how it turned so badly, so fast," said Banks.
Since he's back in Georgia, Banks could choose not to face the Canadian charges, and become a fugitive from their justice system.
"I would never be allowed to get a passport or travel," said Banks. "I don't want these type of things hanging over my head. I don't feel I did anything intentionally."
Banks said the ordeal has already cost him more than $100,000, and he's in jeopardy of losing his house.
Josh's attorney Ken Marley is in Ontario, Canada. He said via phone "I think it's probably fairly easily proven that he (Banks) did not intend to come to Canada.
Marley said in similar cases, prosecutors have allowed the defendant to plead guilty to lesser charges with a punishment of shorter jail time or a fine.
Banks' next scheduled court appearance in Canada is in October.

Through meditative practices and the Alexander Technique we can awaken to Shinjin, the essential unity of body and mind and experience "effortless effort" in everyday activity. It is simply our wrong thinking and need to effort that gets in the way and leads to excessive tension and distortion in our physical system.
"Synchronizing body and mind is not a concept or a random technique, someone thought up for self-improvement. Rather it is a basic principle of how to be a human being…."

LTE-Only, Huh? Bring it On
Hey Android Army,
I wrote this post a while back called The Nexus Line and Why VoLTE Matters when the Nexus 4 just came out. I think many of the things in which I postulated are starting to take shape. Verizon has announced a move to go to LTE-Only phones, which is major for basically everything I hypothesized to work. In addition SoC are getting much more advanced with Tegra 4 providing a software LTE modem and Qualcomm doing big things with LTE on their chips also. All this is just setting the stage for an LTE Only Nexus which we could easily see in 2014.
The biggest thing here is that LTE is open Access and with a LTE-Only phone not jailed by CDMA on board, we would be freed from the shackles of Verizon.....hopefully.
So here is my theory...
I think this was all being planned out by Google since it bid on the spectrum back in 2008. Google knew they were the only company, with enough cash to drive the price of the LTE spectrum to Open Access levels. In addition Google probably knew that one major carrier would budge as the last thing ATT, T-Mob. or Verizon would want is Google owning enough LTE spectrum to launch their own (probably better) mobile network. In addition, Google did not have the resources or the in place infrastructure to build out a massive LTE network so fast, but wanted to make sure their users had unrestricted access once it goes live. Think WiFi tethering. Verizon does come after people who use because they are nice, it is because they legally can't under open access provisions.
In the end the Nexus 4 was Google saying been there, tried that, moving on. They knew it is just going to be a matter of a couple of years before VoLTE is widespread, and by then they would not have to even deal with Verizon. I think they chose not to dilute their Nexus brand with Verizon's shenanigans, and just wait a little bit. In the mean time...hopefully, they can get Motorola to produce a semi decent phone to suffice. But hey all conspiracy theories...right? What do you all think?

What stories she holds- The TentPosted: June 23rd, 2011 | Author: Julie | Filed under: Uncategorized | 2 Comments »
Photo Credit: Jon Heller
You know me, but you don't.
This will be my 67th year in Bemidji, and I wish I could tell you all the things I've seen,
but honey, there just isn't enough room on the internet.
I'm the Bemidji Jaycees' Entertainment Tent.
Let's make sure you have that right, my name is Entertainment Tent, OK? Some sloppy
people will hastily call me a "Beer Tent."
I hate that.
Our Jaycees' put me up every year not so they can sling beer. There's so much more
going on in and around my canopy going on that to call me a "beer tent" is a slap in the
This weekend, for example, I will be up for the annual Fishing Has No Boundaries event.
What great memories we've seen. If you get the chance, you really should help out.
You'd definitely put a smile on someone's face and shine a light in their heart forever.
So, don't call me that. But you don't have to call me by such a long drawn out name
like "Entertainment Tent," either. Call me E.T. for short, cuz I am otherworldly I tell ya.
Then of course, there's the big show a few days later — the Water Carnival. This year
will be the Jaycees' 67th. Through such things as a multitude of family and children
events (and yes, the beer sales) our Bemidji Jaycees pump tens of thousands of dollars
back into our community to such organizations as the Fire Department and Citizen's
My size (very long by pretty wide and awful tall) may have you thinking I could double
as a circus tent. If you ever have been associated with the Jaycees, you know that the
days, weeks and months leading up to my erection are nothing less than circuslike,
but make no mistake, when the show starts those guys work together like a well oiled
That's why every year the Water Carnival seems to get bigger and parts get better and
better. The Fourth of July fireworks that the Jaycees fund (in part through a corporate
fundraising campaign) are the biggest Independence Day show for at least 100 miles in
any direction.
And THAT is what really blows wind up my skirt: the people (like the Jaycees, for
example) who come together, work with one another to make this town, my town,
Bemidji, not just a town, but a community, working for the betterment of all.
I hope I can help doing that for another 67 years.

Educating a New Generation of Home Owners
Educating a New Generation of Home Owners
The REALTORS® Association of the Palm Beaches, which covers Palm Beach County in Florida, wants the next generation of home owners to be armed with housing knowledge when they're ready to make their first purchase. That's why the association is getting them educated now — while they're still in grade school.
How Do You Show the #PowerofR?
Email REALTOR® Magazine senior editor Graham Wood at email@example.com, and tell us your story! Please include photos and/or videos of your project.
Since 2003, RAPB has partnered with the Palm Beach County Office of Equal Opportunity to sponsor the Fair Housing Poster Contest, a program to teach schoolchildren about the Fair Housing Act of 1968. Each year in April, to correlate with Fair Housing Month, RAPB supplies a teaching curriculum to 3rd-, 7th-, and 11th-grade teachers at participating schools with information about the Fair Housing Act and sample worksheets to help students learn, says Danielle Boutin, RAPB's director of emerging technologies and communications. Then, students are instructed to submit a poster, essay, or video depicting the theme of that year's poster contest, which is centered around the principles of the Fair Housing Act.
The theme in 2013 was "every face needs a place."
RAPB collects the submissions, posts them on its website, and invites its leadership and membership, as well as the community at large, to vote for their favorites, Boutin says. The entries are placed into three categories: posters, essays, and videos. At a reception at its offices, RAPB announces the winners of each category, awarding a $100 Visa gift card to the first-place winner, a $50 gift card to the second-place winner, and a $25 gift card to the third-place winner.

text: What's up, new to BTB. After all the off season speculation, I feel compelled to say that I truly believe the boys will thrive under Wade Phillips next season. There were so many games where I felt Parcells conservative style held us back and made many players play with fear instead of loose. Look for Phillips style to unleash the potential of our defense and the Romo-TO-TG air attack to put up some points and open up the ground game for JJ and MB. We saw what Romo can do last year and all the naysayers and doubters are just digging up reasons to diss the boys like they have been for decades. As a lifelong fan, my instincts point to a huge year and we diehard fans deserve it. Go Boys!!!

Ashima Shiraishi on 24 carats, 8c+, Red River Gorge
Björn Pohl - UKC, Oct 2013
© Kenji
12 year old Ashima Shiraishi has spent a few days in the Red River Gorge, Kentucky, where she has the habit of stunning the world with a slew of world class ascents every year.
This year was no different as she managed to climb two routes in the 8c-8c+ range in two days:
The very technical slightly overhanging 24 Carats, was put up in 2010 by Jonathan Siegrist, and hasn't seen many repeats in those three years. This means it's probably solid for the grade. Ashima's repeat was the first female ascent.
50 words for pump is quite different to 24... as it's very steep and pumpy. It has seen quite a few repeats and weighs in around ~8c/+ or so. The first female ascent was made by Mélissa Le Nevé last year.
Ashima Shiraishi is sponsored by Blue Water Ropes and Evolv

For some people this alone would be a reason to torpedo President Obama.
WASHINGTON -- To see where the presidential candidates stand on taxing the rich, just look at how they'd tax themselves. Under his own proposal, Mitt Romney would pay half what he would under President Barack Obama's tax plan. For a man of Romney's means, that could save almost $5 million a year.
For Obama, not so loaded as Romney but still well-off, losing re-election could provide a tax windfall. He'd save as much as $90,000 a year if Romney's plan were enacted rather than his own tax-the-rich vision.
"There's quite a difference at higher incomes between the Obama and Romney plans," said Gil Charney, principal tax researcher for the Tax Institute at H&R Block. "Obama is looking at the rich - millionaires and billionaires - as a source of additional revenue to the government, where Romney is looking at them as a potential spark for economic growth."
Obama's plan would hit couples making more than $250,000 per year from several directions, raising their tax rate, dunning them more for investment income, and limiting their tax deductions. People like Romney with earnings from private equity management would lose a big tax break. And Obama would establish a rule, named after billionaire Warren Buffett, to ensure that households taking in more than $1 million a year pay at least 30 percent in taxes.
Obama's health care law, already in place, also raises Medicare taxes on the wealthy, especially big investors, starting in 2013. That could cost Romney more than $800,000.

Arizona State moves up in national polls after rout of rival Arizona, at No. 11 in BCS
Originally published: Dec 1, 2013 - 10:40 am
So where did the Sun Devils' impressive regular season put them in the national polls?
After Saturday night's 58-21 drubbing of UA in the Territorial Cup, ASU (10-2, 8-1) finds itself at No. 11 in the AP Top 25, No. 13 in the USA Today Coaches Poll and No. 13 in the Harris Poll.

As we pass through free agency, the draft and offseason training activities and approach training camp, another benchmark of the offseason approaches. Oh yes, that's right, Madden hits stores on my birthday, August 12. Happy birthday to me indeed! With that in mind, I came across the 49ers ratings in the newest addition of Madden. One problem with seeing the ratings now is that somewhat significant roster and depth chart moves won't be reflected. The good news is that with the online offerings of Madden you can update rosters accordingly. Definitely one of the better advances in video game technology.
The highest rated offensive player is Frank Gore, who is a 93, and a 99 when used as a 3rd down back. Alex Smith and Shaun Hill rate out at 79, with JT O'Sullivan in at 77. To give you some comparisons one site has the rating of every starting QB. They list Smith at 80 so it's a little off their. Some comparable guys include Rex Grossman and Trent Edwards. Among all the starters, 24 QBs rate ahead of Smith. So take that for what it's worth. The starting offensive line averages 85 across the board. Not great, but that doesn't seem as awful as it could be. Chilo Rachal is a 78, which makes me think he could turn into a very solid option in the franchise mode.
Patrick Willis is the highest rated defender and highest rated 49er at 96. As with the wide receivers, some of the defensive positions are not completely filled out. The middle/inside linebackers are missing the likes of Brandon Moore and Larry Grant, primarily due to the size of the depth chart. If I was playing right now, I'd be very tempted to just trade Mark Roman and move Dashon Goldson into the starting lineup. Even if I didn't deal Roman, I'd want to bump up Goldson. When I go with dynasty mode I like getting the youngsters some quality playing time.
So what do you think about the 49ers rankings? Any of them seem particularly out of whack or are they pretty spot on?

Yes. The title says it all. No need for a description, and i'll give you 3 reasons why:
1. Players
The Ones we have: Anytime a QB plays us he's gonna have to worry about 2 words that will haunt him all week. The Brandon Tandem. IMO I think Brandon Flowers was the best corner not to go to the pro bowl. I read somewhere that he was the 8th most productive. Towards the end of the year QB's feared to throw his way and he has earned his respect from the best. Brandon Carr is also very productive. I don't think hes a top corner but he is an above average corner. On a bad defense like we had he was one of our playmakers. I expect more from both of them next season.
Maurice Leggett not only is on twitter every second of the day and raps but he can also make some plays! I think he is a better nickel than almost any other in the league. Everyone remembers his rookie year when he had a fumble recovery against the raiders. He also had a pick the next week against the broncos for as touchdown ( if my memory is correct).
As of right now we still need work on our linebackers. IMO I think we already have 2 proven ones. Of course Tamba Hali can pressure the QB almost anytime. Just ask Ryan Clady if you don't believe me. Pressuring the QB like he can can force some bad throws. We also have IMO and many others people's opinion one of the best cover LBs in Derrick Johnson. He can also sack you, intercept a pass, cover a WR, oh and take your QB out of the game:]
Our safeties is where we need some help. The 2 safeties who started for us Jon Mcgraw and Mike Brown played bad - decent. I think Mcgraw stepped in and did pretty good. I also wrote a post and most of us agreed Brown would be good to have only as a backup and help teach some other safeties. Jon mcgraw is a great special teamer and a solid solid backup. I personally think Jarrad Page is an OK player. My gut tells me he won't be here next year though and he'll be in blue and white playin for gunther.
THe possible new players: If your like me your hopin to get Eric Berry. i think if Brown stays it would be perfect for him. If this guy really is the next reed or dawkins, then I think that is exactly what every great defense needs. Most of us are still upset about pollard so Berry should be our prescription.
Joe hadan is also a possibility. He wouldn't be my first choice, but imagine 2 shut down corners on both sides and brandon carr at nickel! I like our odds.
There is a number of safeties we could also sign if berry falls through, chad jones, taylor mays. Also free agents with Ryan clark and sean jones.
Emmitt Thomas: At first I didn't like when we let go of clancy for DBs coach. WHen I found out we hired thomas as our coach I couldn't of been happier. Hall of famer! He knows how to coach. He knows how to play. He knows how to win a championship. He also has great pride in the chiefs! He also has great players to work with.
ROMEO: I feel like we talk about crennell enough. We all know enough about him so i'll make it short. Great defensive coach. No better 3-4 coach than this guy here.
3. Opponents
This is my way of saying don't worry about who we are playing. Andre Johnson, peyton Manning, Larry Fitzgerald. or whoever it may be.
I feel like we are playing some opponents where we won't have to worry about them putting up 300 yds on us.
examples: cleveland, oakland, st. louis, and buffalo
Then again, the draft hasn't even passed yet so anything can happen. I'm not trying to put these teams down in anyway though. Then there are some opponents we might have to worry about
examples: indianapolis, arizona, houston, and SF
These teams will truly test us with either good recieivers or a good QB or both. I don't see these teams torching us up and that's because when we play big time recievers romeo's gameplan and our player's mental focus will rise. I don't care how good of a QB you are or how great of a receiver you are. With a good pass rush, a great secondary, and good coaching around them. You are in trouble. Even if your manning. Remember when romeo's defense with Ty Law use to tear apart manning?
Bottom Line: The chiefs should be in the top 10 when it comes to pass defense.

Recovering From Upper Hamstring Tendon Injuries
Partial Salabhasana (Partial Locust Pose)
Effect: Alignment and micro-strengthening in the neutral position.
Lie prone. Keep your knees straight. Keep your forehead and hands on the floor. Contract your hamstrings very gently as if to lift your legs without bending your knees, but do not lift your feet or legs off the floor for the first few weeks. Instead, use just enough effort to lighten the weight of the legs on the floor by a small amount. Gradually increase the strength of the lift until, after a few weeks, you lift your legs slightly off the floor. At the end of six weeks, your legs should lift a few inches only.
Dhanurasana Preparation (Bow Pose preparation, without hands)
Effect: Alignment and micro-strengthening in the partially contracted position.
Lie prone. Support your ankles on a bolster with your knees bent. Keep your forehead and hands on the floor throughout this practice. Contract your hamstrings very gently as if to bend your knees and lift your feet off the bolster, but do not lift the feet for the first week or two. Instead, use just enough effort to lighten the weight of the feet on the bolster by a small amount. Gradually increase the strength of lift until, after a week or two, you lift your feet slightly off the bolster. After holding your feet off the bolster for 30 seconds, bend your knees to 90 degrees and then slowly lower your feet back to the bolster. Over the next four or five weeks, support your ankles on a progressively lower and lower prop (such as folded blankets) as you perform the same sequence (30 second hold slightly off prop followed by 90 degree bend, then lower to prop again). By the end of six weeks, practice without any prop (start and end with feet on the floor).
Supported Partial Supta Padangusthasana (Supported Partial Reclining Big Toe Pose)
Effect: Alignment and micro-strengthening in partially stretched position.
Lie supine. Support the heel of your injured leg on a block. Keep both knees straight. Press your heel gently straight down into the block. Over six weeks, gradually increase the height of the heel support (for example, with folded blankets, a bolster, chair seat, door jamb, etc.), but do not lift your leg beyond 45 degrees from the floor (if a 45 degree lift causes the sensation of stretch in the hamstrings, use less lift). Gradually increase from a mild to a moderate push on the heel. Hold for 30 seconds, repeat three times.
Stage 3: Subsequent Year (or longer)
Pupose: To systematically strengthen the healing tendon by adding high-quality, well-aligned collagen fibers to it, and to build long, strong, flexible hamstring muscles to prevent re-injury. Stage 3 normally lasts about one year, but it can continue for a lifetime.
This stage starts out where Stage 2 left off and includes some of the same asanas, practiced at a slightly higher level of difficulty. It then proceeds to asanas that demand muscle contraction against greater and greater resistance, in neutral, shortened, and increasingly stretched positions. When practicing, align the poses carefully, as in Stage 2, and practice both sides of one-sided poses, so both the left and right hamstrings benefit.
Assuming an asana does not cause pain, perform three repetitions, holding for 30 to 60 seconds each time and resting for a minute between repetitions. Contract the hamstrings moderately at the beginning, and build gradually to a strong contraction over several months. However, never apply strong force to stretching the hamstrings; rely instead on conscious release during a sustained, modest stretch.
When the student can practice all of the Stage 3 postures deeply, strongly, and without pain, he can return to the practice of conventional, full hamstring-stretching postures. However, the Stage 3 practice remains valuable indefinitely.
Salabhasana (Locust Pose)
Effect: Alignment and strengthening in neutral position.
At the beginning of Stage 3, continue to increase the lift of your legs from where it left off at the end of Stage 2. Work gradually up to a full lift of the legs, then to a full lift of the upper body.
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (Bridge Pose)
Effect: Alignment and strengthening in shortened position.
This pose replaces Dhanurasana preparation from Stage 2. Lie supine with bent knees. Lift your pelvis off the floor, emphasizing a contraction in the hamstrings near your sitting bones. Lift the pelvis only a few inches at first. Gradually work up to the full pose, over weeks or months. After several months, when strong in the pose, you may elevate your feet on blocks (milder), then on a chair seat (stronger) to put greater strength demands on the hamstrings. Finally, for the greatest challenge, you may introduce Eka Pada Setu Bandha Sarvangasana, which is the same pose with one leg lifted straight up.
Supta Padangusthasana against Resistance (Reclining Big Toe Pose against Resistance)
Effect: Alignment and strengthening in stretched position.
At the beginning of Stage 3, continue to increase the height of the leg prop from where it left off at the end of Stage 2. Work gradually up to a 90 degree elevation of the leg supported by a door jamb. Then work past 90 degrees, holding the leg in place with a strap around the ball of the foot. At all angles of the leg lift, remember that your goal is to push the straight leg away from your body against the resistance of a support prop in order to contract and strengthen hamstrings, not to pull the foot toward the body and stretch the hamstrings.
Purvottanasana (Upward Plane Pose)
Effect: Higher-resistance strengthening in neutral position.
Introduce this pose only if full Salabhasana is achieved without difficulty. Sit in Dandasana (Staff Pose) with your hands about six inches behind your hips. Keeping your legs straight, press your hands and heels down firmly to lift your hips and chest as high as possible. When your hips are maximally lifted, slowly drop your head backward.
Parsvottanasana against Resistance (Side Stretch Pose against Resistance)
Effect: Higher resistance strengthening in stretched position.
Stand facing a wall. Place both of your palms on the wall at shoulder height. Step one foot forward so your toes are six to 12 inches from the wall. Step the other foot back about three and one half to four feet from your front foot. Face your front foot directly toward the wall and turn your back foot out one third of the way (60 degrees to the wall). Center both feet on a line perpendicular to the wall. Bend forward at the hip joint of your front leg, keeping your spine in a neutral position (not flexing). Bend only enough to apply a mild stretch to the hamstring of the front leg. Adjust your foot and hip distances from the wall and from one another, and adjust your thigh rotation to maintain a mild stretch while strictly keeping the front knee squarely over the front foot, and the two hips square (equidistant from the wall and the floor). Keep both knees straight.
Simultaneously press the bottom of your front foot into the floor and pull it backward toward the back foot, using the friction of the floor to keep the feet from sliding toward one another. This will isometrically contract the hamstrings of the front leg. After 30 seconds, keep this same alignment but place your hands on your pelvic rim and slowly stand upright. This will isotonically contract the hamstrings of the front leg against the resistance of gravity. If you don't experience any pain, repeat the same sequence with both feet slightly farther from the wall, so the pose creates a deeper forward bend at the hip joint. Remember, however, that the purpose of the practice is to contract and strengthen the hamstrings, not to maximally stretch them.

Most, if not all political pundits were caught off guard by the sweeping changes in the 2011 Federal Election.
A Tory win was predicted, but there was uncertainty over whether it would be a minority government or a majority government. As the election campaign went on, most were seeing a majority slip away. However, the big news, esp. during the last week of the election campaign, was the sudden surge in NDP popularity, with some going so far as to predict a new Prime Minister!
Meanwhile, many expected the Liberals to lose seats but no one predicted such a stunning upset with the Liberals seeing their seats cut in half from 77 to 34. Even more incredible, was the destruction of the Bloc from 49 seats down to 4!
The NDP sweep was not only in Quebec, but also in parts of Toronto. The dramatic fortunes of the NDP have seen a historic result: Official Opposition.
However, NDP success was muted with the surprise majority victory of the Conservatives. With 167 seats, 12 more than required for a majority, the Conservatives have achieved a Conservative majority for the first time since 1988.
So, we have a Conservative Majority, an NDP Official Opposition, a severely weakened Liberal party, a decimated Bloc Quebecois and a first seat for the Green Party.
Who knew Canadian politics could be so interesting?

Lugoff firefighters put an attic fire out in less than ten minutes Saturday night.
Fire Chief Dennis Ray says crews arriving at the house on Dupont Boulevard noticed smoke coming from the eaves of the attic and light smoke inside the house. They determined the fire started around a light fixture in the kitchen ceiling and spread into most of the attic space.
Ray says it took less than ten minutes for firefighters to get into the attic and put out the fire.
"Our crews demonstrated textbook performance on fire attack principals, incident management, and scene control quickly finding where the fire had spread and stopping any further fire damage to the home," Ray said. "We were glad to find that the homeowner was able to exit the home and advise our crews where to go when they arrived in the first engine."
The homeowner got out safely and there were no injuries.
The cause of the fire has not yet been determined. Crews from Pine Grove, Doby's Mill and Blaney Fire Departments assisted with the fire.

Cultivate a healthy body and a clear mind through the practice of Daoist qigong.
Qigong is a Chinese art of health that has been practiced for over two thousand years. A form of gentle, relaxing exercise, qigong strengthens joints, muscles, tendons, and bones, increases flexibility, stimulates the circulation of energy in our body, and enhances mental clarity. Qigong not only maintains physical and mental well-being for healthy individuals but is also an excellent way to gently introduce mobility and relaxation to persons who have physical challenges. In addition, Qigong is used as a tool to build the foundation for sitting meditation.
The program will introduce participants to several basic practices of Daoist qigong drawn from two unique lineages, the Pre-celestial Limitless Gate School (Xiantianwujimen) and the Yiquan School. The forms include self-massages, slow movements, stretching, standing postures, and meditation.
This weekend course is the foundation for a progressive program of qigong instruction presented by Eva Wong and authorized instructors, exclusively through Shambhala Centers.
Level I may be taken as a stand-alone course. Cost: $100.
Level II may be taken as a stand-alone course if you have previously completed Level I. Cost $100.
Repeater fee for the weekend: $100.

Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The couple accused of plotting to kidnap and murder Las Vegas police appeared in a Las Vegas court this morning.
Bail was set at $600,000 for David Allen Brutsche and he was appointed a public defender.
Bail was not set for Devon Campbell Newman because the public defender had left by the time her case was called. A bail hearing will be held for her on Monday.
Brutsche and Newman were transported separately to the courtroom because of the conspiracy charge.
The couple argued with the judge during their appearances, saying they did not recognize the court. They also had several other objections, particularly Brutsche.
42-year-old David Brutsche and 67-year-old Devon Newman were arrested after a four-month investigation.
Police say that the pair are members of the Sovereign Citizens Movement and met with undercover police officers on numerous occasions to discuss their plans to kidnap, try and execute Las Vegas police officers.
The duo was arrested after talk turned to action and they began building a makeshift "jail" to keep their prisoner in and told undercover agents that they were ready to put their plans into action.
Their next hearing will take place Sept. 9.
