The Greenleaf Garden Club: Growing Together
When Greenleaf Whittier Elementary School in Camden, NJ originally wrote to us, they only planned on having three classroom container gardens. However due to "overwhelming enthusiasm" from students, staff, parents, and the community, Greenleaf was able to plant seven container gardens!
Every three weeks, the 35 members of the Garden Club met after school to discuss a variety of topics: the different parts of a plant, "warm weather" vs. "cool weather" plants, and what it means to grow organic. Students shared their new knowledge by holding demonstrations of how to transplant a seedling to a larger pot. At the end of the school year students, staff, and parents celebrated their harvest with a Salad Party. Yum!
Next year Greenleaf is planning on an outdoor, raised-bed garden. Greenleaf will be partnering with the Camden City Garden Club and their local Whole Foods to obtain volunteers, compost, and more plants!

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The local economy will continue to grow at a slow pace over the next year, according to economic forecasters at UNC Wilmington.
Woody Hall, a senior economist for the Cameron School of Business, and Ravija Badarinathi, chair of the Department of Information Systems and Operations Management, project the Wilmington Metropolitan Statistical Area will grow 2% in 2013. That's ahead of the state forecast of 1.5% growth. The Wilmington metro area is currently comprised of Brunswick, New Hanover and Pender Counties.
Hall says the projected growth won't make much of a dent in the unemployment rate in the area, with all three counties showing a higher percentage of unemployed citizens than the state average.
Hall pointed out a couple positive factors in economic growth, including:

We are dedicated to creating and holding a sacred space for healing so you may heal your life (heal and or complete childhood wounds) and carry that healing out into expression in the world. You were born to learn how to thrive, not just survive. We believe that regardless of the problems you face in life, healing (the permanent resolution of pain) is available. There is always hope.
Our services include:
Holistic Psychotherapy
Couple Counseling
Alcoholism and Addiction Recovery
Guided Imagery
Holistic Psychotherapy is a relationship of trust between you and a counselor that takes place in a warm, safe and confidential setting. Different from traditional therapy it integrates scientifically proven mind-body approaches with conventional therapeutic practices helping you to heal emotional wounds and resolve or complete unmet childhood needs, benefiting you as a whole person - mind, body and spirit. Holistic Psychotherapy incorporates left and right brain processes, and conscious and unconscious resources increasing your self-confidence, self-esteem and overall sense of well-being.
Self-awareness and self-care are central to all of our teaching at LightHeart. We operate out of a paradigm which believes that you are your own best expert. The words "to educate" come from the latin root "educare" which, literally translated, mean to "elicit" or "draw forth". We see our role as therapists to elicit and draw forward your expertise and brilliance, strengthening your relationship with yourself, increasing your happiness and peace of mind.
Common issues clients address and resolve include: family of origin concerns, physical, sexual, emotional abuse, co-dependency, addictions to alcohol, work, food, relationships and other substances and processes, stress, career transitions, parenting, anxiety, depression, and issues of courage.
We are very results-oriented and focus on core issues rather than symptoms to help you create permanent positive change. Natural outcomes of our work include clarity, greater self-confidence, a stronger backbone, direction for life purpose, pride for personal accomplishments and effortless joy.
It has been said that 98% of American families are dysfunctional. The truth is every family lies somewhere on the scale between healthy and unhealthy, functional and dysfunctional.
To the extent that one individual is suffering, other members of the family suffer - often in different ways, through different expressions. We work with families to sort out the underlying issues that cause (and unconsciously promote) dysfunction and unhappiness.
The good news to remember is that health is contagious. When any one family member experiences relief, other family members are positively affected. It takes only one individual to begin and make a significant difference.
The biggest
thing in the world,
bigger than the
ocean and the sky,
is your heart.

Apologies if this thread/topic has been discussed. But, a pure emperical analysis would suggest that Bradley is the master of second half adjsutments as far as defenses goes (Northwestern, Temple, Nebraska come to mind almost immediately and we can add Ohio State to this list too).
So, for me the next week's games comes down to how far ahead (or behind) we are at half. If our offense can hang around in a shoot out, it will give Bradley enough time to make his adjustments to stifle the opposition and give us a chance. I think the best synopsis of that remains Nebraska vs Northwestern/Ohio State. Even against Nebraska, the defense made some critical adjustments but the offensively-challeneged offense had fallen too far behind.
I saw a little bit of the Wisconsin-Illinois game and until Illinois zooked themselves on a botched punt, the Badger defense was really not very effective. The front four weren't getting any push upfront and we have seen McGloin can actually be adequate if he has some time. If we can stop BTN's favorite son Montee Ball, Russell Wilson (I may gets ome flak for this) isn't the best decision maker. I don't think he goes through his progressions before taking off.
So, if Nebraska game is any indication, we were torched up the middle by Burkehead in the first half but the Bradley's adjustments came through in the second half. If we can hang around or take a lead into halftime, I have no doubt Bradley and defense will shut down Montee Ball and Russell Wilson second half...
I do think this will be a game of two halves. The question comes down to how good/bad McGloin and team are in the first.
p.s. you ALWAYS make a two possession game.

Tag: H.L. Watkins Middle School
Is 13-year sentence too light for band director who abused students?
- 9:51 am Thursday, March 29th, 2012 by Opinion Staff
Heath Miller, a former band teacher at H.L. Watkins Middle School in Palm Beach Gardens, faced 75 years in prison on multiple charges of sexual activity with four students.
He had prepared to go to trial on the charges, but instead accepted a plea bargain of 13 years in prison. He gets credit for the 2-and-a-half years he's spent in jail awaiting trial.
He pleaded guilty to one count of sexual activity with a child and three counts of lewd and lascivious molestation.
Miller's case became notorious because he had sex with students while at the school. He also had sex with [More]

It happens all the time, all over the world. Food is used as a reward, as a soother of hurt feelings, and hurt knees. In school, my teacher would give us candy as a reward for good behavior or good grades. At home, my family offered food as a reward for a good job completing a chore. Even at work, people brought in various desserts and yummy savory snacks when we needed help getting through a difficult time. Using food as a reward is a time honored tradition, but one we need to break.
When I was 300 pounds, I did it too. I used food to reward myself for all sorts of things – for completing a project at work and even baking a pan of brownies because I got all the laundry finished. I rewarded myself with a fast food super-sized hamburger (or 2) after grocery shopping. I even rewarded myself with chocolate when I didn't eat too many rolls at dinner. Even when I was on an "official" diet, I'd reward myself for the perceived deprivation of the week by swinging through the closest drive-thru restaurant for 3 hash browns, 2 sausage biscuits, a coffee and an orange juice.
Breaking this habit was not as hard as I would have imagined. Changing the rewards I gave myself from food to something healthier was relatively easy. Here are some rewards I used along my weight loss journey:
If you think about it, it's easy to find things that you will enjoy having or doing that aren't food. Learning to put that behavior aside was good for my health and my emotions. Taking food out of the equation when feelings are hurt forced me to examine the feelings without food getting in the way. I've learned to deal with my emotions in a healthy, productive way and it feels good.
As you lose weight, decide in advance what kinds of rewards you will give yourself when you reach certain goals. And remember, the goals aren't always on the scale. They can be a size of clothing, energy level, exercise minutes completed, or healthy choices made. By rewarding yourself along the way, you will feel that sense of accomplishment acknowledged and celebrated, but without adding unnecessary calories to your hips. Take time today to jot down a few ideas for non-food rewards.

December 16th, 2007 - forever known as the day the Dolphins Frachise was saved from the possible 0-16 season.
We all know and remember the story to well, the Dolphins were the laughing stock of the league and not expected to even win a game after starting the season 0-13. Everyone was piling on from friends, to announcers and even sports radio broadcaster Jim Rome had a campaign going on but on this day it all had come to a complete hault.
My Story:
At this point I personally had stopped watching games with friends and stayed home watching the games by myself, I live far away from Miami so I have always had the Sunday Ticket to enjoy all Dolphin games. It was the time of year for spiced rum and eggnog so that is what I had decided to drink and put back enough to make the game managable as I had almost lost all hope. The game wasn't pretty ... in fact we still even tried to give this game away *thank you Matt Stover for the missed FG's* So by the time Greg Camarillo had caugth the ball and was breaking towards the endzone I probably was jumping as high in the air as I ever had time and time again ... relieved and exhausted the phone calls came in from my brother and friends, mostly laughing at how excited i was over 1 win but I didn't care they would never know what as fans that season was like, it just felt so damn good to get that one win.
I can admit I didn't bust into tears like Wayne but I was close, like most of you here I live and die with the Dolphins and that is the season I never want to go through again. Its at this time that we should remind ourselves how lucky we are to have such a great organization to cheer for and that now we are talking PLAYOFFS two seasons in a row since that infamous season.
Take a little trip back down memory lane
So my question to you is ... Where were you? what were you doing? Were you alone like myself drowning my sorrows or were you with other people or even at the game? Lets here it because that is a day as a phin fan I will never forget.

Just a small town girl … with big city dreams, fashion lust and style the Olsens would be jealous of.
You know how the song goes. Hannah Riley Henderson may be from the small town of Rainsville, Alabama but that hasn't stopped her blog, Style by Hannah Riles, from being noticed by prominent publications and boutiques such as Teen Vogue, Seventeen, Urban Outfitters, Pinkyotto, and Aoko NY. Forced to think outside the box her whole life, Hannah perfects her dreamy bohemian look with charming thrift pieces, cascading gypsy-inspired skirts and daring statement jewelry.
Take note of this rustic-urban fashionista, she's getting ready to pounce on New York City and we're following her every step of the way.
Share with us what your enormous dreams are?
My dream is to become successful in pursuing my greatest hobby - fashion - while living in my most beloved city, NYC. I plan to move to there in a year and a half to complete my Fashion Merchandising Management degree at Fashion Institute of Technology. After I graduate from college, I plan to continue living in the City and work in the fashion industry.
Just how small is your small town and how does this influence your shopping, personal style, and inspirations?
We just got our second traffic light a few years ago, if that tells you anything! Being in a small town has pushed me to look elsewhere for shopping and inspiration. Luckily, we live in the age of the Internet, where buying a new pair of boots, or checking out the latest designer collections is just a click away. As for personal style, not many dress like me where I live, but that has never stopped me.
What fellow bloggers do you get inspiration from?
I enjoy eyeing through Swedish fashion blogs for inspiration. My personal favorite bloggers are Angelica Blick and Victoria Tornegren.
Who are your style icons?
Like most girls, I really admire Kate Bosworth, Florence Welch, Alexa Chung, and Mary-Kate Olsen.
What are your fave trends right now?
I really love that leather trousers and Peter Pan collars have made their way into everyday wear.
If you could only save one fashion item from a fire, what would it be?
Wow, that's a tough one. However, if I could only save one piece, I'm pretty sure it would be my Mulberry Alexa. It's the most valuable piece in my wardrobe, and also very sentimental to me because I bought it in NYC on my eighteenth birthday.

VATICAN CITY (AP) - Two 20th-century popes who changed the course of the Catholic Church have been elevated to sainthood.
Pope Francis has declared John the 23rd and John Paul the Second saints in a historic Vatican ceremony aimed at bringing together the conservative and progressive wings of the church.
Retired Pope Benedict joined Francis on the altar in St. Peter's Square, the first time a reigning and retired pope have celebrated Mass together in public in the 2,000-year history of the church.
An estimated 800,000 people filled the square, the streets around it and bridges over the Tiber River.
John was pope from 1958-1963. He is a hero to liberal Catholics for having convened the Second Vatican Council, which brought changes such as allowing Mass to be celebrated in local languages rather than Latin.
John Paul helped topple communism and invigorated a new generation of Catholics during his quarter-century as head of the church. His defense of core church teaching on abortion, marriage and other hot-button issues heartened conservatives after the turbulent 1960s.
Pope Francis praised both men, John for having called the council and John Paul for helping implement it.
Previous Story:
VATICAN CITY (AP) - Pope Francis has declared his two predecessors John XXIII and John Paul II saints in an unprecedented canonization ceremony made even more historic by the presence of retired Pope Benedict XVI.
Francis recited the saint-making formula in Latin, saying that after deliberating, consulting and praying for divine assistance "we declare and define Blessed John XXIII and John Paul II be saints and we enroll them among the saints, decreeing that they are to be venerated as such by the whole church."
Benedict was sitting off to the side with other cardinals in St. Peter's Square during the rite at the start of Sunday's Mass. He and Francis briefly greeted one another after Francis arrived.

(NBC NEWS)- Sunday's unprecedented dual papal canonization of John Paul II and John XXIII will be historic, both for the institution of the Catholic Church and because of the event's sheer scale. Here's a look at how the two late popes achieved sainthood and how that honor will be celebrated in numbers.

The organisers of the London Olympics announced the route of the men's and women's time trials today. For both they're going to be single loops starting and finishing at Hampton Court - Tudor masterpiece of Henry VIII - by the Thames in suburban west Lodon. For the guys it's a 44km race and 29km for the women. My take on the course and the favourites below.
The words that come to mind when I think of this course are flat, untechnical and suburban. And shitty tarmac and gettng buzzed by car drivers. Most of the route is rolling at best with a few long false flats but no slopes above 5% and if they are its for maybe 100m top. The roads are generally wide A-roads though it'll slim down at a few places. So basically they'll be on the aerobars for all of this. That appliesto both the men's and women's even if the latter is being billed as hillier.
A power rider has to be the favorite. That makes it hard to look past Fabian Cancellara - if he wants the medal it's his is may take. If Taylor Phinney fulfils his promise he could mount a challenge unless he's on the track. Otherwise someone like Grabsch maybe. But basically Fabulous can probably start cashing cheques from this already.
For the women Emma Pooley's chances are being bigged-up but I think it lacks sufficient climbiness for her. Kirstin Armstrong is probably my favourite if she can get back to her 2008 form.
Anyone else willingto make an early bet?

Web Dailies & Wireless Monitoring for $35? Google Chromecast Opens for Possibilities
Since Google released Chromecast last year, the little 'HDMI dongle' has had two big things going for it — Netflix and YouTube. Of course, given its simplicity and ridiculously low price of $35, it hasn't had much going against it either. Even with some creative work-arounds via Google Chrome 'tab casting,' Chromecast's downside has been its short list of natively supported apps — despite subsequent support for Hulu, Pandora, and HBO GO. Well, all that's changed, because Google has announced the public release of the device's SDK. In short, this turns what was a very exclusive party into a fiesta that any developer can join. Many more native apps are sure to follow, but how can this benefit filmmakers? More »

DIY FYI: You Don't Need a 4K Monitor to Monitor in 4K (But It's Not Perfect and Uses Linux)
We've had a few posts revolving around open source 3D modeling & animation suite Blender recently, including some info on using it to model color space in three dimensions. Now, as a bit of a 'BTW, FYI' to a more recent post concerning the free release of all 4k F65 footage acquired for Blender's CGI/live-action Tears of Steel, we have some info that may actually help you visualize that or any other 4k footage in full-res — without an actual 4k monitor. It isn't perfect — it's a bit rough and ready, and may require Linux, but we thought our readers should know that it's possible, especially since very few of us have access to 4k viewing, be it through projection or UHD TV sets.

Shoot a Film on Your iPhone, Control Canon DSLRs with an Android Tablet Monitor Rig
There's no doubt that modern mobile technology has the capacity to streamline or benefit many aspects of filmmaking. Whether it's the micro-video art emerging in social media, script supervision capabilities, lighting-fast previsualization softwares, or the surprisingly high-resolution video some phones and tablets can shoot (given what they are), there's something to be said for their place in the industry. For goodness sake, modern smartphones are better at giving directions than my GPS navigator and shoot higher quality video than my first camcorder. With all that said, though, how far can things like the Apple iPhone or an Android tablet be taken down-and-dirty in the trenches of shooting? More »
SmallHD Unveils Sleek New AC7 OLED Monitors at Ground-Breakingly Low Price Point
The differences between competing pieces of technology often become very, well, technical in explanation — but most of the time, we don't get to use the term 'organic' as a qualifier. This happens to be true in the case of SmallHD's new OLED HDMI and SDI monitors — and Organic Light Emitting Diodes are actually news to me in general. What's even more exciting is that SmallHD is looking to provide very high-quality monitoring solutions for prices previously unheard-of. Read on for a more comprehensive specs readout and a bit on what makes OLEDs different from traditional LCD systems. More »
AbelCine Combines Professional and Consumer Tech for Its Wireless Video Solution
Wireless monitoring is often a very expensive proposition, but in the last few years it really has been consumer technology that has brought down the price significantly. While there have been many new interesting wireless solutions over the past few years (like some of those from Teradek), many people still want a simple plug and play wireless device that is completely self-contained. Over at AbelCine, they are utilizing consumer technology and adding in some professional tools to make a wireless video solution fit into literally any workflow. Check out the video below as Mitch Gross takes us through the AbelCine Wireless Video Solution. More »
Scopebox 3.0 On-Set Monitoring and Recording Software Drops from $700 to $99
When Divergent Media's Scopebox was released a few years ago, it was a $700 piece of software that was fairly unique at the time: a way to turn any Mac laptop into, well… a box of scopes. Waveforms, vectorscopes, and RGB parades were handy on-set aides, and though similar to Adobe OnLocation (now bundled as part of Premiere Pro), the fact that the forthcoming version 3.0 of the software will drop the price from $700 to $99 makes it a new ball game.

NAB Roundup: Electronic Viewfinders from Zacuto, Cineroid, SmallHD, and More
It's hard to describe the sheer enormity of NAB — there are several halls of exhibitors (grouped loosely into categories like Acquisition, Post-Production, Delivery, etc.), and each hall is the size of an entire "normal" tradeshow. While I'll have some wrap-up thoughts later in the week, now that it's the final day of NAB I've finally figured out that, rather than talking about an individual manufacturer's entire product lineup, I should group similar products from different companies together in one post and wrap them together with any analysis or firsthand experience I can provide. Up first: electronic viewfinders (EVFs), from Zacuto, Cineroid, SmallHD, LCDVF, and others. More »
Air SyncHD is a Wireless Hi-Def Video Village for $200
The brite-View Air Sync HD is a $200 transmitter/receiver designed to feed an HDTV wirelessly from any HDMI source. However, with a resolution of 1080p, a range of up to 100 feet, and claimed zero latency, enterprising filmmakers have discovered that it can be used DIY-style to create a budget video village. Here's a look at the device in action with a RED camera: More »

Microsoft is considering a bid for Yahoo, Reuters reports, citing sources close to the situation. A number of other companies including buyout shops Providence Equity Partners, Hellman & Friedman and Silver Lake Partners, and Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba and Russian technology investment firm DST Global, are also thought to be looking at Yahoo, the sources say. Yahoo is readying financial pitch books for potential buyers. Meanwhile the FT reports that Microsoft is set to win Brussels' approval for its planned $8.5bn (€5.9bn) acquisition of online telephone service Skype, despite its previously strained relations with European competition authorities and complaints from would-be rivals over Microsoft "bundling" the software with Windows. The US Federal Trade Commission approved the deal in June.

Panda was recommended to me ages ago when I was starting to suss out locally owned eateries. Every so often, I'd look at it as I drove by and think "I've got to try that place." It's day finally came one Saturday when the hubby and I were out running errands. Tuckered out, we decided to stop in for dinner instead of heading home to cook. We were early for dinner and throughout our meal we were the only customers in the shop. Given the numerous lunch specials (which are available on Saturdays as well), I'm guessing they draw a much larger lunch crowd.
We settled in and perused the menu, noting both the sushi and the dedicated vegetarian sections. It didn't take us long to make our selections. I opted for orange chicken and the hubby decided on chicken lo mein.
As we waited for our food to come up, I tried to place the vaguely musty smell. The hubby swore he noticed nothing so I wondered if it was due to my seat being near a damp window. After a short while, I got attenuated and ceased to notice it.
Since our meals were dinner plates, they each came with fried rice and an egg roll. The plates came up piping hot and aesthetically plated.
My orange chicken came drenched in a thick, syrupy sauce. Sweet with just a bit of a kick, it enveloped the chewy fried coating. Bits of orange peel let off wafts of strong orange scent as I moved things around my plate. The fried rice was a bright saffron color, but had no real flavor aside from the small pieces of vegetables--flavorful onions, rather bland carrots and peas. The egg roll had a mushy, under-cooked interior and an indistinguishable filling. A few red bits looked like they might have been imitation crab, but overall it was a beige mass.
The hubby's lo mein (shown at the top of the post) was passable, but not anything out of the ordinary. Our check came with the standard fortune cookies. These seemed vaguely lemon flavored but were chewy and otherwise flavorless.
I'm glad we went because now I know I'm not missing out on anything grand. The food is run of the mill food court Chinese food. I was happily surprised by the flavor of my orange chicken, but the thickness of the sauce was a bit alarming. Coupled with the underwhelming egg roll and my tea which was so weak as to be water and I won't be back.
Total for the meal: $17.77 (includes two dinner plates and two drinks)

It may seem counterintuitive, but starting a business during a recession can reap some big rewards. In fact, studies indicate that more people are taking the entrepreneurial plunge despite the economic slowdown. Less competition for customers and lower marketing costs can make a sluggish economy one of the best times to start your business. Here are a few businesses that even thrive in tough times.
1. Debt Collection It goes without saying that in tough economic times bills start to pile up and often go unpaid. While debt collection is not an especially pleasant business, it's one that generally does well during economic downturns. As an added bonus, you have the option of working out of your home as an independent contractor or working for a debt collection agency. 2. Healthcare Products An aging population whose health is declining is going to purchase healthcare products and services—recession or not. And, with more health related products and services available than ever before, this is a business that is sure to thrive. 3. Job Search Agency When people lose their jobs, they often turn to employment agencies or job search firms. If you are a people person with a lot of industry contacts and a knack for matching out-of-work employees with potential employers, then this type of business might be a good choice for you. 4. Mediator In tough economic times, many people turn to mediators rather than attorneys to settle disputes simply because they are less expensive. If you're skilled at negotiating, this may be the business opportunity you are looking for. 5. Security Firm Security firms are doing a booming business, but the security business is not just about security guards. It's also about performing security and background checks for employers. 6. Computer Repair Computers are a fact of life and so is computer repair. The good news is that a computer repair business doesn't depend on whether the economy is good or bad. If you are the go-to person when a friend's computer goes bust, then the computer repair business might be a good fit. It's also possible to join a franchise operation like Geeks on Call. 7. Internet Marketer Many people jump on the website bandwagon without really understanding internet marketing. After all, what good is a website if no one sees it? Internet marketing is becoming more and more important as people comparison shop and purchase items online. That's just one of the reasons why it's a good business when the economy goes south. 8. Web Entrepreneur You don't have to be a computer geek to become a web entrepreneur; all you need is a good idea or product. You can create a website yourself or hire a web designer to do it for you. 9. Pawn Broker Ok, not everyone is cut out to be a pawnbroker, but pawnshops are typically businesses that do well during recessions. A pawnbroker takes merchandise as collateral on a loan, albeit a loan with exorbitant interest rates. 10. Cosmetics Sales This may seem like an odd business to start in a sluggish economy, but the truth is that cosmetics are an inexpensive way to let us feel good when times are not so good. After all, who doesn't want to look terrific?

Atlanta's first upscale regional Indian restaurant (really, one of the few in the country) invokes the multicultural richness of the Malabar Coast. Chef-owner Asha Gomez grew up surrounded by spice plantations in the southwestern state of Kerala, long a vital port on the European-Asian trade routes. She retells her life story through food in an intimate setting—partitioned rooms, carved wooden walls—off Northside Drive that feels like an exotic retreat, belying its strip-mall location. The small menu introduces thrilling discoveries like duck and plantain croquettes with dried figs simmered in tea and cinnamon bark; elegant seasonal fruit salads in lime-cardamom dressing topped with spicy shrimp; and duck leg confit in smooth clove–and–black pepper sauce with homemade chutney. Gomez's signature fried chicken—boneless and encased in a lacy crust, lashed with mango sauce, and festooned with fried curry leaves—achieved cult status soon after the restaurant opened its doors last January. (It also helped her earn immediate kudos in magazines like Bon Appétit and Food & Wine.) Recently she's also been running specials that mingle compatible flavors of the Indian South and the American South: Think spiced goat sliders or curried shrimp over South Carolina rice grits.
The cocktail program, ambitious at first, now falls back on overly sweet concoctions; the wine selections much better match the food. If you find Indian cuisine intimidating, try lunch, when you can enjoy the fried chicken over Lowcountry rice waffles or order an affordable, daily changing thali (platter) of warming soup, rice pilaf, and a fragrant, gentle curry made from pork or beef, which weren't taboo meats in Gomez's Christian upbringing. 1700 Northside Drive, 404-549-7012, cardamomhill.net

RotoWire's Preseason Outlooks
Lovemark failed to get into winner's circle on Web.com Tour but had a fantastic Finals, going T14-T7-T24 over final three events to earn his card for 2013-14.
Lovemark entered 2011 with high expectations and with good cause. He tore though the Nationwide Tour the year prior, and the sky was the limit. Things didn't come as easy on the PGA Tour, though, as a back injury derailed his season just nine starts in. Perhaps that injury played a factor in his poor play as well. Whatever the case, since he only played in nine events, he'll have plenty of time to regain his status in 2012. For those in salary cap leagues, he is a must-have.
Lovemark, much like Rickie Fowler, came on strong at the end of the PGA TOUR season in 2009, but his prospects for 2010 aren't quite as bright as Fowler as he must rely on sponsor exemptions to play on the PGA TOUR. He'll get his fare share of exemptions, but unless he produces early, they will run out, and he'll be out of luck.

Everyone is all riled up since the news that the UFC cut 16 fighters today most notably Jon Fitch, I say this should have happened long ago.
Fighters get comfortable and complacent and that's never good for business when your business is fighting.
Jon Fitch deserves to be cut and not just because he's lost 2 of 3 but because he's lost 2 of 3 in a really bad way,along with the fact that he's more often than not a boring fighter to the casual fan, and with the six figure income he demands I feel its just the right time for his release.
The UFC is in the fight business and the fight business is about entertainment , this is not the olympics .Most of the guys cut today are gatekeepers at best, including Mr.Fitch and the UFC has plenty of those to go around.
Guys like Fitch are a dying breed in MMA. No showsmanship no $$$$$$$. Especially when you are losing and losing at your own game!

ABUJA—The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, NERC, has said that the power sector local content regulation will become law in the first quarter of this year.
Chairman of NERC, Dr. Sam Amadi, disclosed this while making a presentation at a session at Chatham House, London, chaired by Peter Callaghan of Commonwealth Business Council.
Amadi, who was lead speaker at the event organised by Chatham House, UK, pointed out that the power sector local content law in this early stage of the transition, was intended to avoid the mistakes made in the oil and gas sector which was still dominated by expatriates 50 years after.
He said: "We have a local content regulation that by February should become law, we don't want what happened in the oil and gas sector where after 50 years Nigeria is still importing technology.
"We have come up with a local content regulation that provides a framework for every company to begin to localise both technology, and services.
"For example a meter provider should within the next five years set up a factory in Nigeria. This is to ensure that the spill off from electricity reform goes to enhance the economy of the nation."
Amadi also told the gathering that power supply was expected to hit 7,000mw by the end of this year as increased capacities were expected from the NIPPs coming on stream, while generation benchmark was set at 20,000mw by 2017.

Do-It-Yourself Deportation
By ANTONIO ALARCÓN
Published: February 1, 2012
ONE of my happiest childhood memories is of my parents at my First Communion. But that's because most of my memories from that time are of their being absent. They weren't there for my elementary school graduation, or for parent-teacher conferences.
Chris Silas Neal
From the time I was just a baby in Mexico, I lived with my grandparents while my parents traveled to other Mexican states to find work. I was 6 in 2000 when they left for the United States. And it took five years before they had steady jobs and were able to send for me. We've been together in this country ever since, working to build a life. Now I am 17 and a senior in high school in New York City. But my parents have left again, this time to return to Mexico.
Last week, when asked in a debate what America should do about the 11 million undocumented immigrants living here, Mitt Romney said he favored "self-deportation." He presented the strategy as a kinder alternative to just arresting people. Instead, he said, immigrants will "decide they can do better by going home because they can't find work here."
But really this goes along with a larger movement in states like Arizona and Alabama to pass very tough laws against immigrants in an attempt to make their lives so unbearable that they have no choice but to leave. People have called for denying work, education and even medical treatment to immigrants without documentation; many immigrants have grown afraid of even going to the store or to church.
The United States is supposed to be a great country that welcomes all kinds of people. Does Mr. Romney really think that this should be America's solution for immigration reform?
You could say that my parents have self-deported, and that it was partly a result of their working conditions. It's not that they couldn't find work, but that they couldn't find decent work. My dad collected scrap metal from all over the city, gathering copper and steel from construction sites, garbage dumps and old houses. He earned $90 a day, but there was only enough work for him to do it once or twice a week. My mom worked at a laundromat six days a week, from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m., for $70 a day.
But the main reason they had to leave was personal. I have a brother, 16, a year younger than me, still living in Mexico. He was too little to cross the border with me when I came to the United States, and as the government has cracked down on immigration in the years since, the crossing has become more expensive and much more dangerous. And there was no hope of his getting a green card, as none of us have one either. So he stayed with my grandparents, but last year my grandmother died and two weeks ago my grandfather also died. My parents were confronted with a dilemma: Leave one child alone in New York City, or leave the other alone in Mexico. They decided they had to go back to Mexico.
Now once again I am missing my parents. I know it was very difficult for them to leave me here, worrying about how I will survive because I'm studying instead of earning money working. I'm living with my uncles, but it is hard for my mother to know that I'm coming home to a table with no dinner on it, where there had been dinner before. And it's hard for me not having my parents to talk to, not being able to ask for advice that as a teenager you need. Now that they are in Mexico, I wonder who will be at my graduation, my volleyball games or my birthday? With whom will I share my joy or my sad moments?
I know a girl named Guadalupe, whose parents have also decided to return to Mexico, because they can't find work here and rent in New York City is very expensive. She is very smart and wants to be the first in her family to attend college, and she wants to study psychology. But even though she has lived here for years and finished high school with a 90 percent average, she, like me, does not have immigration papers, and so does not qualify for financial aid and can't get a scholarship.
People like Guadalupe and me are staying in this country because we have faith that America will live up to its promise as a fair and just country. We hope that there will be comprehensive immigration reform, with a path to citizenship for people who have spent years living and working here. When reform happens, our families may be able to come back, and if not, at least we will be able to visit them without the risk of never being able to return to our lives here. We hope that the Dream Act — which would let undocumented immigrants who came here as children go to college and become citizens and which has stalled in Congress — will pass so that we can get an education and show that even though we are immigrants we can succeed in this country.
If, instead, the political climate gets more and more anti-immigrant, eventually some immigrants will give up hope for America and return to their home countries, like my parents did. But I don't think this is something that our presidential candidates should encourage or be proud of.
Immigrants have made this country great. We are not looking for a free ride, but instead we are willing to work as hard as we can to show that we deserve to be here and to be treated like first-class citizens. Deportation, and "self-deportation," will result only in dividing families and driving them into the shadows. In America, teenagers shouldn't have to go through what I'm going through.
Antonio Alarcón is a high school student and a member of Make the Road New York, an immigrant advocacy group. This essay was translated by Natalia Aristizabal-Betancur from the Spanish.
A version of this op-ed appeared in print on February 2, 2012, on pageA27 of the New York edition with the headline: Do-It- Yourself Deportation.
Christmas 2010 – Start thinking about travel plans
My boyfriend and I want to take a vacation to an international urban destination over Christmas break (late December/early January). We were thinking of Turkey, but a quick scan of airfares showed high prices (more than $850). And I read that winters in Turkey are cold. Would you suggest some places that we should consider?
Whitney Robinson, Ann Arbor, Mich.
I contacted Jennifer Conlin, who wrote "36 Hours in Istanbul" (Feb. 7, 2010), which she reported last fall. In an e-mail, she warned that it does get cold, so winter is not an ideal time to enjoy some of her favorite activities, like drinks at a rooftop bar, boat rides on the Bosporus, and walks in the gardens — but she did add that you will encounter smaller crowds. I found one-stop round-trip flights from Wayne County Airport (Detroit) to Istanbul in late December for about $900.
Destinations in the Southern Hemisphere can be ideal during our winter, as December to late March is summertime there. But flights to these destinations — like Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro — are almost certain to be well beyond your price range.
For an international urban destination with mild weather and reasonably priced flights, consider Mexico. One-stop round-trip flights from Detroit to Mexico City in late December start at around $673. December-January is the dry season, which means a temperate climate (though evenings can get chilly). Mexico offers a range of destinations, including beach resorts and mountain villages, as well as a wealth of culture.
For a historical perspective, read Jonathan Kandell's article, "Mexico's Freedom Trail" (Aug. 22, 2010), about the country's bicentennial celebration of its independence from Spain. Mr. Kandell focused on the state of Guanajuato, a three- to four-hour drive northwest of Mexico City where the revolt for independence began.
In Mexico City, be sure to visit the Zócalo, the city's main square, formally known as the Plaza de la Constitución, where you'll find Diego Rivera's murals inside the Palacio Nacional, and the ruins of the Aztecs' Templo Mayor, now a museum; you might follow this by the not-to-miss National Museum of Anthropology (mna.inah.gob.mx) near Chapultepec Park. A day trip to Teotihuacán takes you to palaces and ruins, including the Pyramid of the Sun (above), which you can climb.

Mexico's Bicentennial Celebration
Mexico is getting ready for an extraordinary celebration in honor of its 200th anniversary of its Independence and 100th anniversary of its Revolution. Everything designed to commemorate these two great dates is linked to the ideal of renewing Mexico's identity and historic continuity.
Highlighted among the many projects designed are exhibits of prehispanic, Spanish, modern and contemporary Mexican art at the most important capitals of the world, historic routes, shows, publications, seminars, the opening of 10 new archeological sites, maintenance to the country's most important prehispanic sites and the remodeling of 30 museums that will serve as venues to the Independence's Bicentennial and the Revolution's Centennial in the year 2010.
This work involves a complex museography and the consolidation of historic buildings in six States to commemorate the Independence and eight States to commemorate the Revolution, with a budget of over 300 million pesos.
The venues were chosen by taking into consideration their accessibility by land, routes that go over the steps of those who fought the battles that concluded in the consummation of Mexico's Independence and Revolution. For this great celebration, these routes combined are known as "Ruta 2010", for which the Ministry of Communication and Transportation will destine its resources for signaling these roads and provide tourism information in print at strategic points of the highways and through its website.
The museums highlighted along the Route of Independence start with Casa del Marques at Mexico City's Historic Center and in Acapulco with the San Diego Fort Museum, where Morelos fought his famous battle for the country's Independence. Other venue museums in this celebration chosen for their priceless content in honor of these two unforgettable dates are Museum of the Viceroyalty, the National Anthropology Museum, the National History Museum, the Allende Museum, The Casa Morelos Museum, Alhóndiga de Granaditas and the Museum at the Home of Father Hidalgo.
The Independence road includes the Freedom Route, traveling on the footsteps of Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla from Corralejo in Guanajuato to Chihuahua, passing by Queretaro and Michoacán.
The Nation's Feelings Route explains the military campaign lead by José María Morelos y Pavón through the States of Michoacán, Guerrero, Oaxaca, Morelos, Mexico, Puebla, Veracruz and Chiapas. Places through which Morelos' troops were commanded by Matamoros, the Galeana brothers, the Bravo family, Guadalupe Victoria and Vicente Guerrero, among other illustrious heroes.
The Trigarante Route traces the road followed by Agustin de Iturbide in his fight for the Consummation of the Independence, from Iguala in Guerrero to Mexico City, in 1821.
The Revolution's Routes include the Democracy Route, outlining the road taken by Francisco I. Madero from Ciudad Juarez in order to triumphantly enter Mexico City after being elected president in 1911. This route starts in Parras, Coahuila, his hometown, and passes by San Luis Potosi, Ciudad Juarez, Piedras Negras, Torreon, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes and Leon.
The Zapatista Route refers to the operations of the Southern Liberation Army along the States of Morelos, Puebla and Mexico. The Constitutionalist Revolution Route was traced according to the military actions carried out by four key characters in the revolutionary battle. The route in honor of Venustiano Carranza starts at Cuatro Cienegas and passes by Saltillo, Monclova and the Guadalupe Estate in Coahuila, to continue through Hermosillo, Chihuahua, Mexico City, Veracruz, Queretaro and Puebla.
The section of the Constitutionalist Revolution Route in honor of the Northwestern Division, guided by Alvaro Obregon, goes through Nogales, Cananea, Guaymas, Culiacan, Naco, Topolobampo and Mazatlan in the States of Sonora and Sinaloa, all the way to San Angel in Mexico City, passing by Tepic in Nayarit and Guadalajara in Jalisco. The Route's itinerary traced in honor of the Northern Division commanded by Francisco Villa starts at San Juan del Río in Durango to conclude in Hidalgo del Parral, Chihuahua. It also covers the Loma Estate, Ciudad Juarez, Torreon, Zacatecas, Aguascalientes, Mexico City and Canutillo.
This Route's fourth section corresponds to the battles fought by the Northeastern Division, guided by Pablo Gonzalez, starting at Lampazos in Nuevo Leon and going through Monclova, Ciudad Victoria, Monterrey, Tampico, Saltillo, San Luis Potosi, Queretaro and Mexico City, concluding in Aguascalientes.
Video: Paseo de la Reforma, an open book of art and history
Paseo de la Reforma (English: "Reform Promenade") is a 12 kilometer long boulevard in Mexico City, Mexico, built during the Second Mexican Empire on the orders of Maximilian I of Mexico. When it was inaugurated, the avenue was given the name Paseo de la Emperatriz ("The Empress's Promenade") in honor of his consort, Empress Carlota of Mexico. Nowadays, the name commemorates the liberal reforms of 19th century president Benito Juárez.
This wide avenue runs in a straight line, cutting diagonally across the city. It was designed by Ferdinand von Rosenzweig in the 1860s and modeled after the great boulevards of Europe, such as Vienna's Ringstrasse or the Champs-Élysées in Paris. It was Emperor Maximilians wish to directly link his Imperial residence, Chapultepec Castle, with the National Palace in the city center. It runs from Chapultepec Park, passes alongside the Torre Mayor (currently Latin America's tallest building), and continues through the Zona Rosa and then to the Zócalo by Juárez Avenue and Francisco I. Madero Street.
More modern extensions continue the avenue at an angle to the old Paseo. To the northeast it continues towards Tlatelolco then it is divided into Calzada de Guadalupe and Calzada de los Misterios and reaches La Villa. To the east, it crosses Chapultepec park and passes south of Polanco on its way through the exclusive neighborhood of Las Lomas and then into Cuajimalpa and Santa Fe on the outskirts of the city, although when it reaches this point it is more a highway than a promenade.

Keeping an eye on that Indiana sky, you have a chance to get in on all the action that mother nature has to offer.
On Tuesday night, the National Weather Service offered a course on Skywarn Spotter Training.
There were some new faces as well as veterans.
Warning Coordination Meteorologist, Michael Lewis wanted to show the group what it takes to be a spotter, what to report to the National Weather Service and why it's important to do.
"We have some trained spotters that just look outside their window and are going to tell us when it's hailing," he says. "We have other people that are actually going out mobile, looking at individual storms as they are moving in and looking at it in a more complex manner."
Lewis says it depends on their level of training and how committed they are.
He adds having trained spotters look for signature signs of rotation and tornadoes can help prevent false alarms from going out to the public.

Billionaire Dennis Tito, tired of being told that we can't send humans to Mars just yet, on Wednesday revealed his scheme for launching two astronauts to the red planet as early as December 2017.
Dubbed "Inspiration Mars," the fly-by mission would exploit a rare alignment of Earth and Mars that minimizes the time and the fuel it would take to get to Mars and back home again. The astronauts would come within 100 miles of the Martian surface before being slung back to Earth.
"It would be a voyage of around 800 million miles around the sun in 501 days," Tito testified Wednesday at a hearing of the House subcommittee on space. "No longer is a Mars fly-by mission just one more theoretical idea. It can be done. Not in a matter of decades, but in a few years."
Grab this opportunity or risk seeing China get to Mars first, the space buff told the members of Congress.
The plan has a lot of moving parts, and would require cooperation from NASA and a great deal of NASA hardware. The agency is building a jumbo rocket, the Space Launch System (SLS), that is supposed to be ready for its inaugural, uncrewed test flight in 2017. Tito's plan would essentially borrow the SLS for the Mars mission.
NASA officials did not immediately respond to Tito's detailed proposal. In late October, in response to questions about possible collaboration between Inspiration Mars and NASA, the agency released a cautiously worded statement, saying, "The agency will continue discussions with them to see how NASA might collaborate on mutually beneficial activities that could complement NASA's human spaceflight, space technology and Mars exploration plans. The agency has not made any commitments to Inspiration Mars related to launch vehicles."
Tito's Inspiration Mars Foundation released a feasibility study Wednesday that concluded that NASA's new Orion capsule wouldn't meet the mission requirements as the primary habitat for the astronauts. Instead, Tito's organization would use the new Cygnus capsule developed by Virginia-based Orbital Corp. (formerly Orbital Sciences), which just recently made a successful, uncrewed cargo-hauling trip to the international space station.
This journey to Mars wouldn't come cheap. Tito described Inspiration Mars as a "philanthropic partnership with government." He said private donors would likely give about $300 million for the mission, and the government would need to provide about $700 million — in addition to the money NASA is already spending, under current programs, on rocket and spacecraft development.
The timing of the mission also presents a challenge. The Tito plan would require that NASA and the private partners adopt the project wholeheartedly and immediately, with little wiggle room. The planetary alignment, which happens only once every 15 years, presents a narrow launch window. The mission would have to begin sometime between Christmas Day 2017 and Jan. 5, 2018 to take advantage of the orbital dynamics of the planets.
Two launches would be required for the Mars fly-by mission, according to the Inspiration Mars feasibility study. First, the big SLS rocket would launch into Low Earth Orbit the empty Cygnus capsule, plus other hardware needed for the mission. Then, the two astronauts would blast into orbit on a commercial rocket and spacecraft that have yet to be identified (there is a competition under way among private companies to develop rockets and capsules to ferry NASA astronauts to the international space station).
The astronauts in their commercial capsule would rendezvous with the Inspiration Mars vehicle and climb inside the Cygnus capsule. The upper stage of the SLS would then ignite and rocket the Inspiration Mars vehicle to Mars. At the end of the mission, more than a year later, the crew would re-enter the Earth's atmosphere in a "pod" designed to survive the extreme speed and associated heat of re-entry.
The Inspiration Mars study emphasizes that this will be a U.S. mission and warns that other nations have similar designs for deep-space adventures.
"For America, this is our last chance to be first, and even the very movement of planets seems to be saying 'Go,' " the report states.
Tito mentioned a back-up plan: Another alignment of planets in 2021 would make a somewhat longer mission possible — add another 80 days — and require that the astronauts fly closer to the sun than the planet Venus as part of the mission.
