I know a lot of people have been begging for one. Why, I honestly don't know. Was the first one THAT great? I barely remember a damn thing about it. But nevertheless, there are people anxiously waiting for a followup.
So to give you some relief, Sanaa Lathan recently, in a TV interview, talked about the latest developments for a potential sequel, revealing some details, which will be good news for those hoping to see it soon.
But you have to wade through one of those typical vapid TV promo interviews in which she hypes her new role on the Starz cable series Boss. But don't worry, she'll get to it.

@Akimbo - spot on. @Sergio - I fancy myself a connaisseuse of film. My husband and I watch the movie every year for our anniversary. For me, this film is worthy of note and should be in the annuls of the Third Golden Age of Black Entertainment (late 80s to late 90's). There were many things that Akimbo pointed out in terms of the problematic tone that are quite valid... the stripper who loves Audre Lorde... okay... somehow, it all worked. The sexism seemed authentic, not an attempt to put forth some misogynistic message... just a day in the life of some guys and every actor killed it. From Regina to Taye. Not to mention, the storylines and life paths of the characters seemed EXTREMELY authentic and pulled from real understanding or life experience (write about what you know, or research the hell out of it) as opposed to this modern day BS we see where "people" write about what they imagine other (somewhat successful) people to be ESPECIALLY after having NO VARIED LIFE EXPERIENCE. Pure arrogance. BTW - THE BEST MAN, skillfully written and directed by Malcolm Lee who also wrote the adorable ROLL BOUNCE (we need you now Lee, more than ever), is reminiscent of a time when the Black film industry was self-suffucient and was not always looking over the fence to see what "the establishment" was doing; fighting to pull one another back from climbing over that fence, jealousy when one made it over and "nah, nah, nah, nah, nah" sung from the fence victor (who now transcends race) to the one's "left behind" in order to ridicule their continued "Black" status. A sequel to THE BEST MAN may not be the most original idea, but it is sorely needed.
Mr. Friendly | August 18, 2012 2:21 AM
Everybody in that cast needs a job today. And Malcolm Lee needs a hit. I'll wait for the bootleg (like I did with the first.)
Orville | August 17, 2012 6:02 PM
I think the Best Man was an important film didn't it debut at number one back in 1999? The Best Man opened the door for a lot of black actors such as Sanaa Lathan, Nia Long, Taye Diggs, Morris Chestnut to get a higher profile. I also think The Best Man helped improve the black romantic comedy genre. The Best Man was a decent film not perfect but it was solid.
ALM | August 17, 2012 5:58 PM
@ Sergio: Look at how bad the movie climate is for casts of color currently (with the exception of Tyler Perry's films). Many of us would gladly see a "Best Man" sequel. As "Get These Nets" said, it was great to see attractive, successful, working people of color in real situations as opposed to hood cliches and stereotypes. I remember several moments from the movie. Harold Perrineau and Terrence Howard killed their parts.
get these nets | August 17, 2012 12:00 PM
Best Man came out on the heels of a lot of horrible neo hood films. I think a lot of people were pleasantly surprised to see a film with Black professionals and upwardly mobile types. Hollywood took notice and afterwards there were a lot of average films with buppie characters....about as cliched as the neo-hood films were but with less violence and blatant sexism.
My only disappointment with the film is that the wedding group dance scene did NOT feature the advertised-in-trailer Stevie Wonder song "Always"
Akimbo | August 17, 2012 11:05 AM
Despite the sexist attitude/tone, I really enjoyed the first. It wasnt deep or anything, but the cast gelled perfectly, it was fun, and Nia, Harold, Regina, Melissa, & Terrence were all charming as hell. Everyone in it should be booking jobs off that movie alone. I caught it on tv the other day & gained a new appreciation for it; also spotted Dorian Missick and Brian White as extras in the bachelor party scenes. I'd definitely watch a sequel, but I'm not clamoring for one. I don't imagine it measuring up.

I've been thinking for a week or so about parallels between our closer situation and the 1990 Reds. I don't remember how it played out, only that Myers got the majority of the saves.
I think we've got great options for late inning work, and I'd be happy with any of the 3 working the 9th regularly.
Obviously, Marmol proved to be the only one with a true 'out' pitch last year so I'd lean towards him but since Lou is running the show we've at least got someone who has dealt with shuffling closers successfully in the past.
Any thoughts on who it should be and whether we need to work on naming rights for our trio of fireballers?
Also...I don't know how to creat a text box, but here is text from ESPN Spring Training blog:
HOWRY TO CLOSE FOR CUBS? (9:14 a.m. ET)
The Cubs enter spring training with a three-way competition for the closer's job, but manager Lou Piniella told WGN-TV in Chicago that Bobby Howry might have the edge based on the way he filled in for Ryan Dempster last season.
Howry has taken his "front-runner" status in stride.
"I have no inside information," Howry said, according to The Chicago Tribune. "Until you go through it and play it out in spring training, their thoughts and what they discuss behind closed doors and in their meetings is between them and isn't shared with us."
Kerry Wood and Carlos Marmol are the other candidates competing with Howry for the closer's job.

Dear MorganMaple, It sounds like you are getting excellent advice and care form your doctor already. As you know the feline herpesvirus will undergo "recrudescence" intermittantly with ill defined factors we often call "stress." The use of antibiotics to suppress the secondary bacterial infections, lysine, interferon and antiviral eye drops all have some benefit.

If you do not choose to biopsy, and while waiting for the culture and sensitivity results, your vet could try treating your

Joe Warren is just some regular dude.
He may have finished a former WEC bantamweight champion in his first fight, beat a revered Japanese legend known for wrecking opponents a weight class higher in his second, and has become a champion in under two years in the sport. I did that on my lunch break yesterday.
Warren has now set supposedly "lofty" goals of adding another Bellator championship belt to his collection and competing in the 2012 Olympics in Greco-Roman wrestling. Hello? I'm totally thinking about making a grocery list later if I can find a pen, and these dishes aren't going to wash themselves.
Please reach down and bang on the sarcasm detector in your fanny pack if bells and whistles aren't going off. Joe Warren has embodied an ultra-talented, atypical fighter since he first set foot in the DREAM ring, etching his name on the list of Most Impressive Debuts in MMA History, and now the featherweight fireball is shedding a few pounds to shake up the bantamweight division.
Warren faces Nova Uniao black belt Marcos Galvao in a 137-pound catchweight bout that will headline Bellator 41 tonight, and Galvao is a sleeper who could spring some traps on the Team Quest juggernaut. Join me in the phase-by-phase analysis after the break.
The betting lines have Warren at -625 and Galvao at +425, so it's not a jaw-dropper that the reigning Bellator featherweight king is expected to be equally or more destructive against smaller opponents. Let's accept that Warren deserves to be the heavy favorite right off the bat and outline some spots that Galvao could be a handful.
First, a little about 9-3-1 Marcos "Louro" Galvao: he's a two-time Brazilian National Champion and five-time World Champion in jiu-jitsu. His losses are to former WEC bantamweight champ Brian Bowles and home-run slugger Damacio Page by TKO and undefeated prospect Akitoshi Hokazono by decision. He drew with former Shooto 132-pound champion Masakatsu Ueda, who holds wins over Akitoshi Tamura (another Shooto champ and former WEC and Sengoku fighter) and Norifumi "Kid" Yamamoto.
Galvao topped the well-traveled Kenji Osawa (former WEC and Shooto fighter who once finished the UFC's Takeya Mizugaki with strikes and just beat Yoshiro Maeda in DREAM), Naoya Uematsu (featherweight with a win over Caol Uno and experience against Jens Pulver, Gilbert Melendez, and Urijah Faber in losing efforts), and Gracie Barra's Fredson Paixao (WEC-UFC featherweight with wins over Rani Yahya, Masakazu Imanari, and welterweight Thomas Denny). This should imply that Galvao comes from one of the best teams, has a resplendent grappling pedigree, and has scrapped with some stout competition.
What I love about this match-up is that Galvao is wild and aggressive, but tough as nails and very well-rounded. Since Warren has been drizzling extra power on the end of his punches, he could unload on Galvao early and finish him with strikes just like Damacio Page did. However, factoring in Galvao's accomplished submission skills and unpredictable offense on the feet, he does have a chance to expose the tiny holes that Warren has shown in his game.
Free Movement / Striking Phase
We are quick to proclaim that wrestling is the best base for MMA, where I would add that freestyle wrestlers who transition to Greco-Roman are even better. This endows athletes with a broader range of levels and level-changing along with more detailed footwork that translates well to MMA striking.
This is why Joe Warren was able to hold his own on the feet early in his career. Hammered into shape by Team Quest, the best MMA mod-shop for Greco Roman wrestlers, Warren displayed the type of motion and mechanics that beginners usually spend years struggling to learn. Though he wasn't a drastic standout anywhere with his striking, he wasn't weak anywhere either, getting good marks across the board with overall fundamentals -- which is scary for a green fighter with a wrestling base.
Despite a loss to DREAM champ Bibiano Fernandes in a literal "tap or snap" scenario, Warren was also clipped on the feet and seriously endangered by Joe Soto and Patricio Freire in the first round, but showed impressive resolve by turning the tables in the remaining frames for come-from-behind wins. If anything, it seems Warren ate those punches by becoming too comfortable and relenting with the fanatic dedication to defense he showed initially in his career rather than any basic inadequacies.
Regardless, Warren is improving his stand-up and increasing his power, and Galvao's two TKO losses indicate a red flag. However, Warren has a tendency to leave his chin exposed, and Galvao makes up for having porous defense with an unpredictable and volatile striking game of his own.
Where Warren is more cautious and defensive-minded, Galvao is willing to take offensive risks and sling haymakers, leap forward with knees to opponents that drop levels, and cleave with short Thai elbows while trading in the pocket. He has shown a propensity to retreat in a straight line on many occasions, which is exactly how his two losses to strikes came about in the past.
I chose the animation on the left because it shows a little bit of everything that Galvao offers on the feet. At 3:51, we see the ill advised straight-line retreat with Bowles in pursuit, but Galvao is wary enough to flick a solid left counter into the mix. During the pause at 3:48, check his quick reactions when Bowles fakes a level drop, and Galvao threatens to plaster him with a quick upward knee, which could come in handy against an opponent like Warren that also shoots from outside.
At 3:45, Galvao counters with the short elbow in close quarters; something uncharacteristic for a decorated submissionist. At 3:42, he charges with the kind of flurry that isn't pretty, but requires the full attention of his opponent. Just as this wild exchange leaves him exposed, he concludes with a leaping knee that's been known to catch wrestlers when their instincts take over and they drop levels to defend a charging striker.
He stands upright, most likely because his world-class BJJ awaits on the mat.
Each have shown a dependable chin with a remarkable ability to recover quickly. As is the overall theme with this fight, Warren represents the safe and steady choice, but Galvao exudes the type of unbridled aggression and dicey bravado that often fosters unforeseen timing and angles, and Warren's defense has been breached with strikes in his last two fights.
Advantage: Warren (slight)
Clinch Phase
Eh, kind of hard to waste time here. Class A High School Champ, Big Ten Conference Runner-Up, NCAA D1 All-American, FILA World Championship and Pan-Am Greco Gold Medalist, Olympic hopeful, etc.
It's worth noting that Warren is not insta-death nor unstoppable in the clinch, mostly because he's not takedown-oriented. Most foes anticipate and slip in the underhooks, and Warren uses their own momentum to shift his force from downward to upward, standing them up and bombing knees to their exposed midsection. Playing a chess game by alternating the massive force he applies in the clinch is a sign of his intelligence and diversification.
We did see Fernandes pop back to his feet, Freire slip around to cinch his waist from behind, and other small areas that only reinforce that Joe Warren isn't invincible here. Galvao is that same type of sneaky, slippery, and crafty fighter that makes nothing easy, but it's impossible to pick against Warren here.
Advantage: Warren
Grappling Phase
The animation to the right shows how Galvao compensates for his defensive flaws with creative offense. Bowles tags him after using predictable patterns, and pounces for what many fighters might think are the fight-ending blows. Not only has Galvao regained his composure, but he hooks the right leg of Bowles and rolls for a kneebar.
This is how upper-echelon jiu-jitsu can transform a fight from one end of the spectrum to the other, from the brink of being pounded out with strikes to locked inside the clamped jaws of a submission, all in the blink of an eye.
Where Joe Warren has excelled is with his submission defense and top-game. Versus Freire, another perilous black belt, Warren was rock-solid inside his guard: he was aware of Freire's angling of the hips and snaking hands, and kept his own arms tucked in and never posted them while grinding safe elbows (even to the body) and maintaining a strong base.
Warren's BJJ awareness and defense was apparent, which completes his overall game and makes him enough of a force to hold a slight advantage over the decorated Galvao, who shockingly has never won a fight by submission.
Advantage: Warren (slight)
Galvao should not be overlooked. Anyone under Andre Pederneiras with startling BJJ credentials, experience against top competition, and an unusually effective striking game has the tools to win fights at any level. Were Joe Warren not such a freakishly skyrocketing phenom, Galvao would be a great underdog pick.
Unless Warren comes in cocky, dwelling on his future aspirations, or unfocused on the task at hand, he should cruise to a competitive decision. While Warren could also very well lay him out with strikes, if he underestimates Galvao, presses unwisely or slips up even once on the ground, Galvao is the kind of sleeper that could give him a brutal wake-up call.
My Prediction: Warren by decision

Dec 10: Prompt: Wisdom. What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?
Hmmmm, this is tough! I actually can't think of any decisions that were particularly significant or life-changing, so my wisest decision must have been rather pedestrian. I guess I could pick an insignificant but well-made decision and wax poetic about its wisdom, but I'm not really feeling it.
Dec 11: Prompt: 11 Things. What are 11 things your life doesn't need in 2011? How will you go about eliminating them? How will getting rid of these 11 things change your life?
This is another hard one! I feel like I've already started top eliminate a lot of unnecessary things in my life, so I'm not sure there are eleven I can list for 2011 right now – more likely circumstances will change during the year and I'll find that some things can/should be let go as a result. Nonetheless, here are a couple of things I can think of:
1) My mountain bike: I've only ridden it three times this year, having switched to my road bike in July 2009, and I can honestly say that my road bike just suits me better. I think the mountain bike fits me poorly, and I never quite find it comfortable to ride. The pedals have very sharp spikes meant to help hold your feet in place, but in practice they just gouge my legs when I lose contact due to a clumsy shift (very clumsy shifting, another strike!). Also, as much as I want to like mountain biking, I never quite do – partially due to an ill-fitting bike, perhaps, but partially because I can never quite abandon my fear of falling on trails. Donating my mountain bike will free up room in my bike stable in case I find the perfect utility/beater/touring/whatever bike that will better complement my road bike to fulfill all my biking needs. More importantly, it will free me from the angst I feel about not loving mountain biking – oops, can't do it, no bike!
2) A biking mileage goal: This year my goal was 2000 miles, which I easily exceeded once I started bike commuting three times a week during the summer. And then I cruised on by the 3000 mile marker, just as daylight savings was coming to an end and the light started fading. So I've decided to push on toward 4000 miles, but since I don't like bike commuting in the dark very often, it's much harder to rack up the miles, and so sometimes going for a bike ride feels like an obligation instead of like fun. I think I'll probably hit 4000 miles before the end of the year, but definitely don't feel like I need to set annother mileage goal to match or top it in 2011. Instead I'll continue bike commuting when it's light enough, and set event goals like the Laguna Challenge and biking up Mt Baldy before the Tour of California stage.
3) My compulsion to do fancy things with our CSA vegetables. I think I need to learn some more simple side dishes so that I can more seamlessly incorporate our CSA into our meals. It's fun to do grand cooking projects, but very time-consuming to do so much cooking and the resultant cleaning! There are a few things, like Swiss chard, that I have easy go-to dishes for, so I know it can be done.
4) My habit of putting things off until I meet certain conditions – I meant to go to one of the folk-song group meetings this year, but kept putting it off until I practiced guitar more and got better at playing some chords, and then of course I never quite made it. If I can discard this habit in 2011, I think jkumping into the activities even when I don't feel 100% ready will help me have more new, exciting experiences.
Dec 12: Prompt: Body integration. This year, when did you feel the most integrated with your body? Did you have a moment where there wasn't mind and body, but simply a cohesive YOU, alive and present? I think I might be getting repetitive, but it really is all about the bike! I think body integration happens most when descending, because it blends speed and focus. Going fast downhill requires concentration and balance, and I feel a sense of wonder as I watch the scenery speed by.
Dec 13: Prompt: Action. When it comes to aspirations, its not about ideas. It's about making ideas happen. What's your next step? This one is easy – accordion lessons! I need to email an accordion teacher and set up lessons for early next year so I can officially call myself an accordionist.
I've been getting the #reverb10 prompts every morning and thinking about them, so at least the "reflect" part of the project is working, but it's time to catch up with the writing a bit!
Dec 6: Prompt: Make. What was the last thing you made? What materials did you use? Is there something you want to make, but you need to clear some time for it?
The last thing I made was Serrano Pepper Jelly last weekend (the day before the prompt, actually!). The ingredients were serrano and sweet peppers from Suzie's Farm, the farm that we get our CSA from, plus sugar, vinegar, liquid pectin. The equipment I used included pint and half-pint canning jars, jar lifters, a canning funnel, and my tamale steamer/hot water canning pot that I bought at Northgate Gonzalez, a nearby Mexican grocery store. There are always more things I want to make and could use more time for, but I've actually done quite a few time-consuming cooking projects lately, and I think I should be more careful about over-scheduling so that I can take time on the projects without feeling rushed. In addition to trying more canning and pickling recipes, I'd like to try making croissants and pain au chocolate sometime this winter.
Dec 7: Prompt: Community. Where have you discovered community, online or otherwise, in 2010? What community would you like to join, create or more deeply connect with in 2011?
First, the guitar class I took at the beginning of the year – Guitar 2 through UCSD Extension. It was fun to spend time with a group of people who were learning new skills and techniques together and struggling with the same things as we advanced to playing trickier music.
Second, I've found community through biking in several ways – at organized rides, many people riding along the same route and sharing the experience at the same time; on solo rides, there's community with other riders who I pass randomly – some I see regularly and some only once, but we're united through the experience of biking. Biking more has also brought me community in the sense that I know the neighborhoods that I bike through better – I see different shops and roads, interact with the people, and understand the connective geography of neighborhoods better and realize how much more there is to explore.
In 2011, I'd like to expand both of those community experiences by going to music group meetings for guitar and maybe accordion players, and by taking advantage of some of the social bike rides that take place in San Diego.
Dec 8: Prompt: Beautifully different. Think about what makes you different and what you do that lights people up. Reflect on all the things that make you different – you'll find they're what make you beautiful.
This one, I'm afraid, is a bit too touchy-feely for me to contemplate publicly. Moving along…
Dec 9: Prompt: Party. What social gathering rocked your socks off in 2010? Describe the people, music, food, drink, clothes, shenanigans.
Probably the best party of the year was the Baby Shower for my sister, in Pennsylvania on Labor Day weekend. It was an epic event with more coordinated duckie-themed items than I ever though possible, including placemats and candy bar wrappers, and a very cute yellow cake with a sugar-paste duckie sitting on a nest made of butterscotch covered chow mein nest. I was happy to be there and share the occasion with my sister, and glad that it gave me a chance to visit with a lot of people from PA who I rarely see. There were not too many shenanigans, although we did have to chase away the neighborhood cat several time when he tried to invade the party :)
Those are all the prompts I've pre-reflected upon, it seems like I've got some more thinking to do before the next post. Au revoir!
#reverb10, Dec 4:
Prompt: Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year?
This year I cultivated a sense of wonder by watching the ocean. Despite San Diego's perch on the cusp of the Pacific, I haven't spent much time at the beach while I've lived here. In 2010 though, I chose many bike routes that would take me to the water's edge. I rode the Ocean Beach bike path to see big, tumultuous waves roll in, rode up Sunset Cliffs Boulevard to watch the surfers, and out to Cabrillo National Monument to watch ships come in and try to catch a glimpse of migrating whales. Seeing the ocean as both an untamed force of nature and a surface that connects San Diego to the entirety of the Pacific Rim never fails to instill a sense of wonder.
And, Dec 5: Prompt: Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why?
This year, I've tried to let go of unnecessary/imaginary sources of obligation and embraced doing things on my own timeline. Examples: I've learned to embrace my increasing fitness and skills on my bike without worrying about how much faster other people are going, and signed up to do #reverb10 even though I'll probably be behind schedule for more than a few days out of the month. This allows me to embrace the journey and spend more time enjoying the activities I'm partaking of rather than worrying about what I'm not accomplishing.
The #reverb10 prompt for Dec 3:
December 3 – Moment.
Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors).
October 3, 2010 – about twenty miles into the Tour de Poway bicycle ride, the descent from Ramona to Escondido along Route 78. The big climb of the morning has been conquered. Encapsulated in fog, I could only see a few riders in front of me as I ascended. Thus spared the mental anguish of seeing the long road climbing ahead, I focused on the pedaling of the moment and ground my way to the top without despair. After watching the sun break through the fog over the more gentle climb of Route 67, I have rolled through Ramona, nostrils singed in proximity to the freshly fertilized fields. Before the ride, I am most anxious about the the unknown descent; on tough hills, the worst case scenario is a slow-speed side flop – if the road gets too steep for me to unclip from my pedals, I will fall to the right while moving less than 2.5 miles an hour – comical if not for the scrapes to knee, elbow, and bike. Unknown descents though, I actively fear – the possibility of flying off the road at 30+ miles an hour after missing a switchback lives vividly in my imagination, though I've never really come close. As I descend from Ramona though, the road opens up in front of me, the fog has risen high enough to reveal the classic Southern California boulder-strewn desert landscape, but still filters the sun and tempers the morning light. Early on a Sunday morning, the road is nearly car-free. Most turns are visible well in advance, and my confidence climbs as I let my bike freewheel down into the valley, absorbing the scenery as I roll by – even at the speed of descent, the connection to the landscape is much more visceral compared to simply driving through, encased in steel and glass. A few riders are more cautious, and I zip past them. Even while reveling in the joy of speed, the effort of the descent takes its toll – my eyes tear up from the wind, my hands ache from the effort of tensing on the brake hoods – and I soon catch up with other riders as the road flattens out, and the perfect moment comes to an end with a mini-traffic jam, as a stream of cars catches up and passes. Impatient drivers enraged by the tentative ones, the Sunday ride is momentarily transformed into a weekday commute, the beautiful descent resigned to memory.

The Surety Group has simplified all of its surety bond programs, including court bonds, commercial bonds and contract bonds. Everything is easier: the application, the underwriting, and the approval. Discounted rates are available instantly online for many of our bond programs. Businesses like DMEs, Mortgage Brokers and Select Auto Dealers no longer have to wait for a quote. Many commercial surety bonds can be approved in minutes.
Unlike most surety agencies, The Surety Group has in-house underwriting authority. This means that a business owner only has one application to complete. Someone applying for a surety bond through another agency typically fills out one application to get either a quote or to start the approval process. Then the surety working with the bond agent requires a second application. In-house underwriting authority also allows The Surety Group to waive select underwriting requirements and work with businesses with impaired credit. These businesses often search for bonds using the phrase "bad credit bonds".
We prefer to call them nontraditional bonds.
We are now taking applications by phone at 800-486-8211. Applicants will speak directly to a bond agent.

Slow Natural Gas Leak can cause Poisoning!
Subscribe to the Irvine Web Consulting and Design Newsletter and receive our free report on "The 10 Secrets of Effective Web Design"
Gas-leak.org is a public service website brought to you by
The Quiet Destroyer: Natural Gas Poisoning
Why am I writing about something as mundane as a natural gas leak in my home? My house didnt explode into flames; my family didnt asphyxiate in their sleep, nothing as dramatic as that. No, our leak was slow and undetectable to ourselves and visitors to our home. We lived in our house for nearly 4 years before we discovered what was making us all sick. Very sick.
My family developed several medical conditions as a result of our exposure. No one was left untouched by the exposure, even our pets.
This site has been developed to help others who may be affected by natural gas poisoning and are looking for help just as I was.
For years I searched for answers to why my children were developing their symptoms, what could be the causing this illness? Once we discovered the natural gas leak in our home, I searched long hours for treatments and cures, but found little information on the subject.
I suspect there are others who are like me who are looking for help, for answers, or just for validation. It helps so much to know you are not the only one with this problem. The health practitioners may think IT is all in your head, but IT may just be leaking out of your homes gas pipes.
Read on to learn more about the symptoms, research and results of our experience with Natural Gas.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Officials with the Internet service provider dropped by the University of Wisconsin system say they're confident WiscNet can survive.
The nonprofit has lost 27% of its revenue since being dropped by UW.
WiscNet provides cheap Internet access to 75% of Wisconsin's public school districts and 90% of its libraries.
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports that
David Lois, the executive director of WiscNet, told a joint hearing of
two Wisconsin Senate committees Monday this is a critical time for all
entities involved.
But he said that while the UW system made up a large
percentage of the network's revenue, it also accounted for a large part
of its expenses.
Republicans who ordered the UW-WiscNet partnership dissolved said it put private vendors at a disadvantage.
MADISON (WKOW) -- The Wisconsin Senate's telecommunications and universities committees are set to review broadband provider WiscNet's status.
WiscNet is a nonprofit organization that provides cheap Internet access for UW System institutions, public schools and libraries. UW has partnered with WiscNet for years, providing employees and infrastructure.
Republicans contend UW is subsidizing telecommunications and putting private vendors at a disadvantage. They have ordered the system to disengage with WiscNet.
UW officials responded by opening up bids for a new Internet provider but wound up awarding the contract to WiscNet, angering Republicans. Last month the system rescinded the deal, creating uncertainty about WiscNet's future and whether schools and libraries might have to turn to pricier vendors.
The two committees are set to hold a joint public hearing on the situation Monday.

Tuesday, members of the Marine Corps Reserve spent the afternoon at "Toys R Us" stocking up on toys for those less fortunate.
"Its a good thing to get a needy child a toy. It gives them a good start on life. It gives them a good foundation for the rest of the year," says Staff Sergeant Justin Wiley.
So these Marines are going from aisle to aisle, grabbing up toys for those less fortunate.
"It's a horrible thing to be poor on Christmas, to not have any toys to go and get underneath the tree. So we try to provide a Christmas gift for each child."
As a part of "Toys For Tots", these Marines will spend $6000 Tuesday on toys.
Every year the program expands its reach in Central Kentucky. "We doubled our toys and the monetary donations from last yea. We collected 28,000 toys and raised over $20,000 in cash donations," says SSgt. Wiley.
It's fun for the Marines as they pick out toys they like as well.
"G.I. Joes just because I was too poor as a kid to have one and Lego's, because they actually help build your mind and help build different things," he adds.
As toys are packed into a large moving van, the Marines say the giving of toys is not just a joyous event for the families receiving the gifts.
"I've seen people break down and cry, totally emotional. It gives you a really good feeling in your heart. So the hours that you're working... 20 hours a day, 7 days a week... that one second that you see that person have that emotion, it fills your heart with joy. It's a worthwhile cause."
You can give to the "Toys For Tots" campaign, by donating at S & S Tire locations, plus Central Bank, "Toys R Us", "Babies R Us", and here at WTVQ on Man O' War Boulevard.
You can give through December 12th.

Starting this week, we'll be highlighting the five finalists in the poetry category for the BTBA. Similar to what we did for the fiction longlist, these will be framed by the question: "Why should this book win?"
Click here for all past and future posts in this series.
Today's post is by BTBA poetry judge Jennifer Kronovet.
Geometries by Guillevic, translated by Richard Sieburth
Language: French
Country: France
Publisher: Ugly Duckling Presse
Pages: 80
Why This Book Should Win: Charming yet deep; sweet and funny; stimulating, challenging, and yet approachable; private, but easy to relate to, sexy. No, I'm not describing my perfect mate—wait, yes I am!—but I'm also describing the wonderful poems in Geometries, by Guillevic, translated by Richard Sieburth and originally published in French in 1967.
Each of these poems is based on a geometrical figure—presented in its Euclidian simplicity at the top of each piece. These poems bounce playfully, deftly, and philosophically between the unchanging fact of the simple, named form, and the nameless feelings and attitudes we have toward space, the way it shapes us, is us, and comes between us.
Some of the poems in Geometries are intimate addresses to the shapes, such as in "Ellipse," which begins, "Listen, I know how hard it is/To achieve this kind of balance,//With everything pressing in/On each of your outer points." These poems, by commiserating with forms, by sometimes chastising them, by truly conversing and engaging with them, reshape shapes from the physical to the metaphysical and back again. The condition of the body and the mind, minds that love and bodies that love—the troubling trouble of it all, is playfully illuminated. "Ellipse" ends "Two centers,/Either oblivious/To each other,/Or at war." How like our own—my own!—sense of a self at odds with itself. I find I can relate to this ellipse. Who knew.
Many of the poems in the collection give a voice to these shapes, which speak to us out of their self-awareness and their striking personalities. These shapes are resigned to behaving as their dimensions demand—just as may know where the arc of our particular behavior leads us. The "Point" ballsily notes:
I am no more than the fruit
bq. Of an encounter.
I have nothing.
'Get the point.'
bq. 'Miss the point.'
What do I know?
Yet who would venture

The cover of the collection says that these poems were "Englished" by Richard Sieburth. They are indeed. Sieburth captures in English the specific spokenness of the poems, their philosophical wit, their pathos (who would have thought shapes could have pathos!), without losing a sense of the inherent playfulness of the project. These shapes are foreign mirrors—yet astounding mirrors nonetheless. These poems are part game, part serious seriousness, and Sieburth stealthily draws the poems down that line into a wonderfully pleasing feeling that something true has been discovered in the oddest of ways.
The publisher's blurb for Oleg Pavlov's The Matiushin Case promises the prospective reader "a Crime and Punishment for today," the sort of comparison that is almost always guaranteed to do a disservice to both the legendary dead and the ambitious. . .

Litha Customs & Folklore
Customs, Traditions and Folklore of Litha
Interested in learning about the history behind Litha, the summer solstice? Here's some background on the folklore and customs of Midsummer celebrations around the world.
The Native American Sun Dance
In many Native American tribes, the Sun Dance was a holy and ceremonial way to honor the summer solstice and the Great Spirit.
Litha History
Summer solstice celebrations have been held throughout history. While some cultures dedicated this time of year to the Divine, others saw it as a chance to welcome the balance between the light of the sun and the darkness which would eventually arrive. Celebrate Litha, or Midsummer, with fire and water and find the balance in your own life.
Litha Legends and Lore
Litha, the summer solstice, is a time of magic and mystery! Find out why this midsummer sabbat is so important in so many different cultures.
Sun Worship
Many Pagans today celebrate the sun at the summer solstice. For our ancestors, it was a day of great spiritual significance. Many ancient cultures honored the sun as a deity.
Deities of Litha
Meet some of the solar deities from around the globe who are connected to the sun-focused themes of Midsummer.
What Was the Vestalia?
Vesta was a Roman goddess sacred to women, and each year in June, she was honored with a celebration called the Vestalia. Learn why Vesta was important, and how her festival was celebrated.
Juno and Vesta - Roman Goddesses for the Summer Solstice
The ancient Romans honored their goddesses Juno and Vesta. Juno was the goddess of marriage and handfastings, and had the month of June named in her honor. Vesta was the keeper of the hearth, and of sacred virginity. Both can be celebrated in June at the summer solstice.
Aerra Litha - The Saxon Pagans and Midsummer
The Germanic tribes celebrated Midsummer as well, and thanks to an eighth-century author, we know a bit about what they did and why.

INDIANAPOLIS (WTHR) -- CeCe Bruce has received a couple of large tips in her life, but nothing like the one she got Wednesday morning.CeCe works at an Indianapolis Steak 'n Shake restaurant."I was having a hard time at another table, but kept smiling and going on," she says, and that's when one of her regular customers did something that shocked her.When CeCe picked up the credit card receipt..."At first I thought, '$46?', and I said, 'Miss Jo, that's really generous!'" she laughs.But Miss Jo had actually left her a far bigger tip.The bill was $5.97, the tip $446."I didn't think I was worth $400 but, you know, she feels I am," she said.CeCe, who's going to school part-time at Martin University, said the tip couldn't have come at a better time. "Pay bills, pay bills right on time, that's what I'm definitely going to do," CeCe said.She wasn't the only one at the restaurant wearing an extra big smile.Manager Lindsay Banack said, "You've seen how everyone was pepped up a bit...it just makes me feel good about humanity."Read more at WTHR's website.

Nice dogs
I bet they love to be around people. They look "people friendly".
They are about as friendly as can be. When they see you, the first thing they want to know is "do you have any treats?" Second is "can you throw a ball for me to chase?"Originally Posted by Charlie

Last saturday I had a right result! My friends went to a street bar nearby my house and I passed by while taking the dog for a walk. One of the girls in the group clearly took an instant shine to me but I made my excuses and took the dog for a walk as planned.
1st night f-close, a few doubts
At 11:30 we all hooked up again at her house and she was clearly up for it. By 1am I'd isolated her in her room and got up and close, kino had been escalating nicely upto this point and it was obvious we were gonna get kissing and almost certainly get down and dirty.
I decided I wanted to try a few things out like not going straight for lip to lip kiss, just being real close and smelling her neck and just letting my lips brush against her lips and stuff. I then pulled her physically onto my lap before i'd kissed her properly, maybe this was a mistake? She kinda complained that i was being too forward, is this a type of shit test and kind of refused to kiss me full on for most of the night.
I soon had her naked and got naked myself and put her hand on my cock, she complained again that i was being too forward and it did seem a bit like i had ruined the mood for her, I just said relax, and started caressing her, she kept her hand on my cock though, and soon got back into it.
I was a bit concerned that she was getting a bit dry at times, her period finished 5 days ago and she said it was normal, she was also shitfaced.
Anyway, any thoughts would be welcome.

MATCHDAY LIVE: Swindon Town v Bradford City
Updated 5:35pm Monday 21st April 2014 in Sport
Enable automatic updates every 30 seconds? YES NO
- FT: Swindon 1 (Cox, 73) Bradford 0
- Swindon secure sixth win in seven games
- Lee Cox scores his first ever goal for the club
- Peterborough beat Carlisle, leaving Town four points off the play-offs with two games left
- HT: Town 0 Bradford 0
Anyway, that's it from us today. A solid win for Town keeps them in touch with the play-offs but it is not going to be easy.
That said, this is football and we all know miracles can happen. Next up for Swindon is a trip to strugglers Notts County.
Follow all the action here next Saturday. Enjoy the rest of your bank holiday.
Miles Storey is now answering questions and is still confident Swindon can make the play-offs:
"All games are difficult but we never thought they were going to score. We were totally dominant in possession.
"You just have to be patient. Even at half time we were told to keep going and we would get a goal.
"The way we see it we need six points but they need five. If they drop points then anything can happen. We just got to keep winning and keep the pressure on.
"Coxy is a good player. He has always had that in his locker and has played well."
Goal scorer Lee Cox is now talking:
"A lot of emotion came to me when I scored. It's been tough at times but ive been positive and put everything into that celebration.
"I saw a couple of the lads warming up but I mamaneed to get the goal so managed to get an extra ten minutes.
"I know what I can do and am looking to show it at any opportunity. I hope I can get another chance in the last two games."
Mark Cooper has also revealed Alex Pritchard has played his last home game for the club.
"Next Saturday will be his last game for us. He is on a youth loan contract so cannot play when he turns 21, which he does next week.
"He came to us a boy and goes away a man. I'm sure he will go onto bigger and better things."
Mark Cooper is speaking to the press:
"I thought we totally dominated from start to finish. From kick-off they got everyone behind the ball so you know what type of afternoon it will be.
"It was important to stay patient and then we had to take our chance when it came.
"I thought they would come and have a go as they are safe but that is their perogative."
Not a game with too many chances but Swindon were the better team and deserved to win. Unfortunately with Peterborough also winning Town are four points off the play-offs with only two games left. Still, stranger things have happened.
Post-match reaction coming up.
Full time: Town 1 (Cox, 73) Bardford 0
The last few minutes are spent with Swindon keeping the ball in the corner to run the clock down. Peterborough secure three points, going 4-1 up against Carlisle.
Three minutes of added time.
88 minutes: Swindon looking a little edgy as the game comes to a close. Bradford break but a cross is only able to find a Swindon defender who clears.
85 minutes: Mclean heads the ball straight at Wes and then appears to leave a foot in. There have been several heavy challenges over the last few minutes.
84 minutes: Bradford looking to get back into the game. They whip the ball across Swindon's six-yard box and Troy does very well to head it clear.
82 minutes: Smith takes a shot from outside the box but it is straight at McLaughlin.
Today's attendance: 8377 (299 away fans)
Town sub: Cox off, Gladwin on.
Bradford Sub: Thompson off, Bennett on.
75 minutes: Smith wins a free-kick about 30 yards out. Pritchard takes it but McLaughlin in the Bradford goal palms it wide and then punches the resultant corner clear.
Unfortunately, it's now 3-1 to Peterborough.
72 minutes: When he looks like he can only score, Pritchard drags a shot just wide. It was a great through ball from Luongo, helped on when a defender slipped.
Sub for Bradford: De Vita off, Mclean on.
63 minutes: Swindon 1(Cox) Bradford 0
Just as it appears he is going to be taken off, the ball falls to Lee Cox ten yards out who puts it into the bottom right corner for his first Swindon goal. Elsewhere, Carlisle pull a goal back. Is the dream back on?
As has been the theme for much of the game Swindon having all the ball but unable to fashion chances.
Peterborough are now winning 2-0. Swindon have to win to keep any play-off hopes alive.
55 minutes: No-one is quite sure how Town don't score. Smith forces a great save after connecting with a Storey cross. There is a scramble in the box before the ball is poked out for a corner. Swindon camped outside Bradford's box for the last few minutes.
51 minutes: Former Town player deflects a close-range effort from McEveley over for a corner, which comes to nothing.
50 minutes: Pritchard takes a shot from outside the box but it goes high. Town starting the second half like they ended the first.
Bradford get us underway in the second half. Swindon playing towards the Town End.
A sub for Bradford at half-time as well: Meredith is off for Doyle
3:58pm Mon 21 Apr 14
Swindon1984 says
Think Sam must be in a good mood, we haven't been nearly as good as his right up suggests! Bradford definitely with the best chance of the half, good save by Wes as always.
Frankly, I can't see how Town have been anything close to poor. Defence have looked very strong from open play, created a few chances and Foderingham has one save to make from a free-kick. Dominated possession, passed the ball nicely, playing low-tempo perhaps wise after game three days ago. Opinions, hey!
The teams are back out for the second half. So is the rain.....
League One half-time scores:
Crewe 0 Colchester 0
Mk Dons 0 Brentford 1
Notts County 1 Crawley 0
Oldham 0 Coventry 0
Peterborough 1 Carlisle 0
Preston 2 Shrewsbury 1
Rotherham 0 Port Vale 0
Stevenage 0 Bristol City 1
Tranmere 0 Sheffield Utd 0
Walsall 0 Gillingham 0
The half time whistle goes with Swindon on top as they have been for much of the first half. They have passed the ball very well and as time has gone on Town have created more and more chances. Other than a few minutes early on, it has been all Swindon.
There will only be one minute added time in the first half.
41 minutes: A fantastic passage of play from Swindon with some great passing. Eventually the ball breaks to Nathan Thompson in the box but he gets underneath it and his shot goes very high.
37 minutes: The ball breaks to Michael Smith just outside the box from a throw-in but his half-volley is straight at the keeper.
Now it is McEveley's turn to go into the book, apparently for dissent. The Bradford free-kick is put into the box, headed clear and then a shot is put high over Foderingham's goal.
32 Minutes: From a corner the ball bounces around the Bradford box before Smith hooks a shot towards goal. It looks destined to go in but Jones blocks and clears it. Still 0-0 but Swindon becoming more dominant.
30 minutes: From the resulting free kick Town try an elaborate training ground move which basically involves McEveley dancing around the ball before hitting a cross long and out of play.
A booking for Charles Davies for cutting down Pritchard from behind.
It has to be said that Swindon are keeping the ball really well. Bradford are defending really deep so Town are going to have to be patient and take their chance when it comes.
23 minutes: Finally an opening for Swindon. Storey steals the ball off a Bradford defender in the box. Pritchard finds a space but smashes it wide.
20 minutes: Town keeping the ball very well but really cannot find any way through. They've not had one chance yet.
13 minutes: A free-kick to Bradford is smashed low towards goal but Wes palms it wide for corner which is eventually scrambled clear after several attempts. Bradford looking the better team at the moment.
Sadly, it's bad news from Peterborough where the home team have taken a 1-0 lead against Carlisle.
Ten minutes: Bradford win a corner after Troy heads behind a cross but it is cleared without any real threat to Town's goal.
8 minutes: Still not a huge amount to tell you about. Pritchard gives away a free kick in the Bradford penalty area. That is all
8 minutes: Still not a huge amount to tell you about. Pritchard gives away a free kick in the Bradford penalty area. That is all
Five minutes: Not a huge amount to report in the opening few minutes. Swindon keeping possession but unable to find a break-through.
And we're off! Swindon get us under way, playing towards the Stratton Bank.
The teams are heading out onto the pitch. Only a few minutes until kick-off......
Quick bout of predictions then, ladies and gents. I've got 3-1 Town, Storey netting first with 7,777 here. How about you? #stfcadver— @SamMorshead_SA 21 April 2014
One eye being kept on Peterborough, who play Carlisle this afternoon. Any slip up from the Posh and Town's play-off dreams could start to become a reality.
The crowd is starting to build. Green cards have been placed on all the seats in the Don Rogers Stand for fans to hold up before kick-off as part of a NSPCC campaign.
Alex Pritchard believes his goal return during his first full season in professional football could have been better but the midfielder is loving life with Swindon Town.
He told the Advertiser: "My assists have been good this year but my goalscoring record could be a bit better. But I'm playing football so I'm happy."

Sam, any further board room news that you can share with us this afternoon please ?
Very little, with the Bank Holiday and the fact we're all really waiting for the High Court ruling on April 29.
Whoopsy! Brand, spanking new WiFi in the County Ground press box just cut out for 10 minutes. Sorry for the absence of updates. Back now, but let's be honest, not much happened.
Even though it's 'Kids for a Quid' at the County Ground stewards have only been told to expect around 7,500 here this afternoon.
Back in December when Swindon Town visited Bradford City, Alex Pritchard scored what in footballer parlance was a 'worldy'.
Words won't do it justice - so have a look at this:

port de soller says
they have every chance just keep going,don´t fuss about Peterborough just win all 3 games go reds
This afternoon's referee is Charles Breakspear and boy does he like sending people off.
The Surrey official has managed to brandish nine red cards in 23 appearances this season, an astonishing rate of one dismissal every two and a half games.
He's also distributed 94 yellows for good measure.
Breakspear was in charge of Town's 1-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers at the County Ground earlier this season.
Nathan Byrne is ill, hence his non-involvement this afternoon.

The Swindon Town Football in the Community Trust's Zambian partners are present at the County Ground this afternoon.
They're currently meeting Mark Cooper pitchside and can't stop smiling.
I had the pleasure of speaking with team leader Jon Holloway about their visit on Wednesday and it was eye-opening to discover the amount of good that initiative does in Livingstone.
Find out more about the partnership with Zambia on Thursday, when the Adver will be running a double-page spread on the project.
Sixfields seems to be a happy hunting ground for Town - after Alan McCormack's last-minute winner and Paolo Di Canio's long jog to celebrate with his players a couple of season backs, on Friday, Michael Smith popped up to head a 93rd minute goal.
Let's remember it...
We're just 10 minutes away from team news at the County Ground, the sun is out and Bradford City have arrived to have a look around.
Today is a designated 'Go Green For NSPCC' day. There's a lot of green about - and no, I'm not just talking about the grass.
Here's the lowdown from the charity itself:
"We are sticking 8000 fliers to seats. The announcer will be asking the crowd to hold these up to try and turn the County Ground Green just before the start of the game.
"The players - STFC and Bradford - will all be in our T-shirts as they come out of the tunnel and onto the pitch. We have 20 kids also in NSPCC T-shirts and carrying flags coming out with them."
Anyone can text 70744 to donate £1 to the NSPCC - it's a very worthy cause and well worth the spare change if you have it.
ADVER CHIEF SPORTS WRITER SAM MORSHEAD: "So, here we are, with three games of yet another unpredictable, barely believable season remaining. What's going to happen between now and May 4?
"To be honest, it would take a minor miracle for Peterborough to drop enough points to let Town slip in the stage door, but regardless of where Swindon finish this season I don't think anyone can say this Robins side has let the club down.
"It's remarkable, given recent upheaval and ongoing off-field issues, that a group of young and inexperienced players, managed by a relatively young and inexperienced coaching team, are sitting seventh in League One and came within a penalty of a place at Wembley.
"Let's cheer them through the final 180 minutes of football at the County Ground in 2013/14 - in my opinion, they deserve it."
Matchday Live is more than just a report on today's game, it's an opportunity for you to tell us exactly how you feel about current events at Swindon Town.
So, whether it's complaints about lukewarm pies in the Arkell's Stand, concerns over the abundance of youth in the Robins' set-up or frustration at your latest delayed train, we want to hear from you.

We're not expecting anything official until around 2pm but here's a quick rundown of the state of the Swindon Town squad ahead of this afternoon's fixture.
There'll be no Yaser Kasim, Grant Hall, Ryan Mason, Louis Thompson or Nile Ranger, all of whom are injured.
Troy Archibald-Henville rarely manages two games in four days as he manages an ongoing knee condition and he is likely to be rested, with Jay McEveley dropping into the back three alongside Raphael Branco and Jack Stephens.
Mark Cooper's side beat Coventry City 2-1 three days ago, thanks to Michael Smith's last-minute header, while Bradford enjoyed a Good Friday of their own as they beat Peterborough United 1-0.
It's all set up to be an engaging afternoon of League One football and you can follow events as they happen over the next four hours with your Matchday Live service from the Swindon Advertiser.
Swindon Town are in pursuit of a fourth straight home win and back to back victories over the Easter weekend when the Bantams pitch up in Wiltshire.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and a very happy Easter to all of you.
A long weekend of excess and enjoyment hasn't quite finished yet, and this Monday we're being treated to bonus football fun at the County Ground.

Anyway, take the best of the first half, more of the same early in the second, and come out with a higher tempo from the off and no reason we can't win this. Carlisle playing for their lives too, maybe they can salvage a point at boro.

Always gave his best for us and deserved our respect.
One goal was always going to be enough today after Bradford parked the bus and never threatened.
Shame games are almost finished but let's hope the momentum carries on next season.
Finally best regards to Oxford. Top of the league ........... And then history repeats and after Xmas they fall apart.

Parky still got a grudge about us beating his Charlton in the play-off's,then he ended getting sacked! boring ol **** parked the Bus and just tried to stop us, well done Coops you can be proud of your season,I just hope the Wannabe's sort themselves out and help you build a good strong squad to have a crack next season!!!!!!!

Strange but not surprising that the same ones that were saying Cooper should go because of a poor run are not posting he should stay because of an equally good run!

Was wondering why Pritchard was waving goodbye at the end, would have been better if the club had let the fans know it was his last home game so we could have given him a proper ovation.

Comfortable win, was surprised Bradford were so negative, I can't remember Wes doing much. Thought smith held the ball up a lot better so credit to him, and the defence was solid again.

Got to get TAH re-signed up, Stephens would be a very useful addition as well i think if possible for next season

Bit surprised that the 'season-long' loan wasn't just that, surely that would have been considered when finalising the end date of the loan with a potentially important game against Rotherham, and that could have been with us needing to win to avoid relegation?
Thought we did enough to win today, Bradford were pretty dire and apart from a couple of small spells of possession did very little with their 4-5-1. In fact it was much like the PDC L2 season when team after team came here for a 0-0 with very little intention of troubling our goal.
Michael Smith did pretty well I thought, he held it up OK and got away a few shots on target but Jay McEveley the clear man of the match in his roaming role, and good to see his deliveries have vastly improved.
Very lenient ref who was letting Bradford get away with far too much on Pritchard first half and then Nathan in the second. Thought the first Jay booking was harsh but then he could have gone for the later challenge so that evened out I suppose. He also seemed to miss the kick by Stead on Troy, but then had a word a few minutes later without taking action?
Anyway another 3 points, and I'm coming round to the idea that the good form is down to the arrival of Stephens he truly is an excellent player. Would be surprised if him and Pritchard aren't playing in the Championship next season.
