Los Angeles Kings send out hilarious tweet following playoff departure

The Los Angeles Kings were eliminated from the Stanley Cup Playoffs Saturday night after dropping Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals 3-2 in double overtime to the Chicago Blackhawks.
And while fans in the Valley aren't likely saddened by news of the defending champions' postseason departure, it's hard not to at least chuckle at the Kings' attempt at humor via their Twitter account following the season-ending defeat.
@penguins you guys wanna grab a drink later?— LA Kings (@LAKings) June 9, 2013
As the saying goes, misery does love company.

Just yesterday we called for an intervention for Jeremy Renner, following the announcement he joined the voice cast of "Ice Age 4." The Oscar nominated actor has been worrying us of late, as he has a string of roles in big shiny tentpoles -- "Mission: Impossible -- Ghost Protocol," "The Bourne Legacy," "Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters" -- that aren't necessarily the best showcase for his tremendous talent. Well, Renner has bounced back into our good books as not only has he set up his own production shingle -- something almost every actor of note has in Hollywood -- but the first project sounds great.
THR reveals that Renner, under his new shingle The Combine, is getting a Steve McQueen biopic off the ground. Even better, he's enlisted James Gray ("Two Lovers," "We Own The Night") to write the screenplay. Well done Renner, well done.
Simply put, Steve McQueen was a bad ass motherfucker who raised hell from his youth all the way through his Hollywood career. As a young man, though dyslexic and partially deaf, he ran with street gangs, bounced between homes and was eventually legally remanded to the California Junior Boys Republic, which played a major role in his life (he would donate, correspond and visit frequently). From there he joined the Marines where again, his rebellious spirit ruffled the feathers of his superiors. But, acting came calling and he took to it like a duck in water and quickly rose to become one of the manliest leading men of all time, starring in films like "The Great Escape," "Bullitt," "The Getaway," and "Papillon." He raced motorbikes, did drugs, smoked and drank but his legacy remains his incredible body of work.
At any rate, the research on this will be deep. The film will be based on two books by Marshall Terrill: "Portrait of an American Rebel" and "The Life and Legend of a Hollywood Icon." Director Ivan Zacharias will make his feature debut on the film, but obviously, this one is a way off just yet. Renner is pretty much busy for the rest of the year with "Hansel & Gretel," "The Avengers" and "The Bourne Legacy." So, we'll have to wait a while just yet but yeah, we're pleased he's starting to develop his own projects and hopefully his string of mainstream work will open the doors to get this -- and other projects -- moving.

There's just one thing... Steve McQueen was consider one of the coolest and most handsome men of the world, Renner is neither! Au contraire...
KT | April 28, 2011 10:00 AM
By all means, make that money Renner.
"The Oscar nominated actor has been worrying us of late, as he has a string of roles in big shiny tentpoles... that aren't necessarily the best showcase for his tremendous talent."
Fuck that. I'd rather actors like him and Gosling get their shine in franchise/tentpole work than the likes of Taylor Lautner, Kellan Lutz, Channing Tatum, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Alex Pettyfer... fuck, the list goes on.
For a change, how about actors with actual talent get exposure and collect the big checks, instead of some of these guys who only play characters who are one or two degrees from themselves and call it acting. Just a thought.

Right now, I am about as excited for more Renner news as I am about more Hunger Games casting news.

Number of ratings 6 / Average Grade: N/A Submit a correction
Horrible teacher. In fact he doesn't teach at all. He have us a ton of work from the book and had us do the work in class. Very disappointing as I was really hoping to learn Microsoft office programs. However the actual class is pretty easy
I took him for Systems analysis and design. I was extremely disappointed with this class. All he does is read you the book almost word for word, he is very unclear and contradicting. His homework require many hours a week to receive a good grade, and his final is ridiculously hard. I would suggest NOT taking him at all costs. Do NOT take this class
He does not enjoy teaching and it is difficult for new students by making and already difficult subject more confusing and boring. He reads straight from the book and every question you answer is wrong. But take-home, open book, three try tests are an easy A. He should retire.
Has a habit of getting off of topic, bringing up something of no interest. He is extremely condescending seeing as "he has been in the comp. business for years" and is not good at answering your questions. Difficult course and difficult text book to work from. Boring class done lecture style, which makes it difficult to focus. Pick something else.
I think his class was great, took him for 211 and his final project was setup where everything you learned throughout the year can be applied... So it all finally made sense. Do the homework, which required reading - obviously the previous poster does not care about his/her education to do required work!!! He is great take his classes!!
His teaching method is to ask questions that you were supposed to read in the text. So unless you read the chapter before coming to class which never happened, all you do is sit at an interview without knowing the answers. Nice guy overall, but don't start up with him or make it obvious you don't care too much about the class.He will houndyouifyoud

The latest UFC fighter rankings are out, and for the first time this month we're seeing a noticeable shift in a couple of the men's divisions. Josh Thomson's KO win over Nate Diaz sparked a significant change in the #5-10 part of the LW rankings. Thomson vaulted into the #8 position, while Nate Diaz fell from #4 to #6. Jim Miller takes Diaz's spot at #4 while Donald Cerrone moves up to #5. Rafael Dos Anjos and Khabib Nurmagomedov round out the top 10 while T.J. Grant stays at #7. For the record, Gilbert Melendez remains the #1 LW behind Ben Henderson.
Meanwhile, Daniel Cormier's decision win over Frank Mir put Cormier at #2 in the heavyweight division while Mir dropped to #7, immediately behind Roy Nelson and immediately ahead of Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. The final major rankings change came in the flyweight division, where Darren Uyenoyama swapped the #8-#9 placing with John Lineker following his TKO loss to Joseph Benavidez.
Matt Brown's win over Jordan Mein did not put him in the top 10 at welterweight; likewise for T.J. Dillashaw at bantamweight following a stoppage victory over Hugo Viana.
You can view the full rankings list here. Fraser Coffeen, Tim Burke, T.P. Grant, Chris Hall, and Steph Daniels represented Bloody Elbow for this week's list, and you can view their individual rankings (along with countless others) by clicking on the drop-down menu.

Lawrenceville, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Daniel Stewart poured in 21 points and Tommy Pereira scored 20, as the Rider Broncs outlasted the Monmouth Hawks in overtime, 77-71, in a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference bout at Alumni Gymnasium.
Pereira did his damage on 6-of-7 shooting from beyond the arc as Rider (10-9, 6-4 MAAC) won for the second time in three games. Anthony Myles chipped in 12 points and six assists for the hosts.
For Monmouth (10-11, 4-6), which had won two straight coming in, Max DiLeo and Collin Stewart both netted 12 points, while Deon Jones and Andrew Nicholas put up 10 points apiece.
Rider took control of the contest early, shooting 44.8 percent from the field in the first half while holding Monmouth to just 33.3 percent shooting, as it carried a comfortable 37-20 lead into intermission.
The Hawks turned things around after halftime as they mounted their comeback, draining 58.6 percent of their second-half field goal tries. They trailed by 11 with under five minutes to play but ended regulation on a 16-5 run, with Justin Robinson's 3-pointer with just one second left tying the game and forcing overtime.
The Broncs made up for their second-half collapse in the extra session, however, as they shot 3-of-4 from the field and 7-of-12 from the foul line to secure the six-point victory.
Rider finished the game 20-of-35 from the foul line, while Monmouth was a mere 5-of-14 at the stripe.

Plymouth State University commencement speaker is an advocate for world peace
Richard H. Solomon, described by PSU officials as "a world-renowned advocate for peace," retired last year after 19 years at the institute, which describes itself as a nonpartisan federal agency working to promote international conflict resolution through non-violent methods.
PSU President Sara Jayne Steen said Solomon has "an extraordinary reputation for negotiation and diplomacy involving some of the world's most complex geopolitical problems."
"Richard Solomon has dedicated his talent and energy to making others' lives better, to negotiating peace and advocating for justice. The settlements he has helped negotiate and the thought and analysis he has brought to decision-making have positively affected millions of lives. His accomplishments and his service are extraordinary."
Solomon has been credited with the successful negotiations of the Cambodia peace treaty and the first United Nations "Permanent Five" peacemaking agreement, according to PSU officials. He has been recognized for his service with the State Department's Foreign Affairs Award for Public Service and has been honored awards for policy initiatives from Korea and Thailand.
In 2005, he received the American Political Science Association's Hubert H. Humphrey career award for "notable public service by a political scientist."
Solomon holds a doctorate in political science, with a specialization in Chinese politics, from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He previously served as U.S. ambassador to the Philippines.
Solomon will address more than 1,200 graduates at the unified commencement ceremony, which includes awarding both undergraduate and graduate degrees.

VANCOUVER — TD Bank says it is noticing "a shift toward non-traditional ways" of purchasing property, a trend driven both by financial necessity and personal choice.
"Today's homebuyers are not necessarily like the traditional nuclear family of the past," says Peggy Barnett, senior manager of personal credit for TD in Vancouver.
Many more singles — professional people and the newly divorced or widowed — are purchasing property these days.
The bank also is seeing the "collaboration of two families, or parents and siblings pooling their resources to purchase a home for everyone to live in.
"Alternatively, parents may offer a down payment gift to their children to purchase a condo."
And more of these sorts of arrangements are taking place in B.C. than elsewhere, she says. While 67 per cent of property purchasing nationally is done by couples, only 60 per cent of B.C.'s homebuyers are married or "partners."
The rest are part of the expanding, non-traditional market.
The bank regularly commissions research on buyers so it will know how best to market its financial products.
In Vancouver, where land goes for a king's ransom, teaming up on a mortgage can mean the difference between renting and owning.
Collaboration generally yields a bigger down payment; if it's 20 per cent of the purchase price, co-purchasers can avoid buying mortgage default insurance. And, of course, monthly mortgage payments become easier.
A February cross-Canada survey for the bank by Environics found more than one quarter of B.C. respondents who bought recently, or were planning to buy soon, intended to make or already made the purchase on their own.
More than one third reported they in fact would prefer to "buy with another party even when they could afford to buy on their own."
Nearly half — 49 per cent — of B.C. respondents said they thought the non-traditional route was a "great way to enter the real estate market," compared with 41 per cent nationally.
It's likely the greater flexibility expressed by B.C. residents is linked to lack of affordability in the housing market, especially in Vancouver.
Barnett agreed cost is the big factor in deciding to team up. But lifestyle considerations also can play a role.
Perhaps a buyer has a dog that cannot be left alone, or aging parents they want to accommodate, or the buyer wants to avoid loneliness.
Barnett cautions: "There will be legal considerations to buying with two parties, and non-traditional buyers would be advised to get legal advice."
That may be a nice way of saying: Prepare for some excruciating compromises and possible rip-roaring fights.
When more than one name is on a mortgage document, there's significant potential for fighting about spending decisions related to renovations and repairs, and decisions about whether and when to sell.
Think of it as urban densification on a microcosmic level. It's no secret that strata councils are plagued by disagreement; the same would presumably hold true in circumstances where household ownership is subdivided.
Whatever its pitfalls, such non-traditional ownership may be a sign of the times, especially for young, first-time buyers finding it tough to crack the market.
The TD bank survey found six per cent of British Columbians who had bought recently, or were planning to buy, did so with parents. Nationally, just three per cent cited this option.
Sharing home ownership is also becoming popular in the recreational real estate market.
In B.C., 17 per cent who already own or plan to buy a cottage already share ownership with friends, parents or more than one generation of the family, or plan to do so.

Clippers rely on reserves to rip Raptors
Los Angeles, CA, United States (4E Sports) – Blake Griffin had 19 points and nine rebounds and got big help from the backups in pushing the Clippers past the Raptors, 102-83.
Jamal Crawford led a fourth-quarter rally by the reserves with 16 points and the Clippers defeated Toronto, 102-83, Sunday to win their sixth in a row.
Eric Bledsoe added 14 points to help the Clippers' reserves outscore their counterparts 47-24.
Chris Paul added 16 points and DeAndre Jordan had 10 rebounds. Caron Butler was the only starter to play in the fourth, coming in only after Matt Barnes was ejected with 1:36 to play.
The Clippers' second unit sparked a 15-11 stretch to start the second quarter and extend their lead to 40-32.
Griffin, Paul and Jordan then returned only to be outscored 15-4, and Toronto carried a 47-44 advantage into halftime.
The backups gave Los Angeles its first double-digit lead of the game after Toronto kept it close through the first three periods.
Los Angeles' reserves dominated the final period for the third straight game, turning Griffin and Paul into cheerleaders.
Each one of the 10 Clippers who played had at least one basket.
DeMar DeRozan scored 24 points, Linas Kleiza added 17 points, including five 3-pointers, and Amir Johnson had 11 points and 12 rebounds for the Raptors.
The Raptors have just four wins this season.

text: Canzano's column caused me to research how compressed the schedule is after the All-Star Break. In 2011, the Blazers had 22 games over 44 days starting March 1. This year, they will play 31 games over 57 days. The season will last two more weeks into April because of the lockout. If the games were coming up at the same pace this year, there would be 28.5 this spring. So the Blazers are cramming an extra 2.5 games into this time period. It doesn't feel like a huge burden but it is one more trip, two fewer days off. I am hoping the quality of play improves after players get a chance to rest over the break. The quality of play in the Clippers game was poor on both sides, but I felt teh Blazers did well considering Aldrich was out.

The United States doesn't deserve Asia's money, not with half of its government in financial jihad mode, damn the global consequences.
The biggest economy has long taken its reserve-currency status for granted, but the events of recent days raise Washington's hubris to entirely new levels. Chinese President Xi Jinping didn't mention Ted Cruz, John Boehner or the tea party last week when he urged major developed economies to adopt responsible policies that avoid negative spillover. He didn't have to. Their shutdown of the U.S. government and the specter of U.S. default were written between the lines in bold type.
The United States is playing with fire here in ways it might not recover from.
American politicians should be particularly worried about a conversation Xi had lsat week in Jakarta with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono. Xi proposed creating a regional bank to invest in infrastructure in Southeast Asia and pledged funding from China. Asia is also gradually building a neighborhood International Monetary Fund. Where will all this cash come from? Asia's $7 trillion in currency reserves, much of it currently in dollars.
Asians aren't panicking just yet. Many here think U.S. lawmakers aren't crazy enough to default on their nation's debt, no matter how much they despise President Barack Obama's policies. They will bicker, close the government and embarrass the U.S. on the world stage by forcing Obama to cancel visits to the Philippines and Malaysia.
But come Oct. 17, when the U.S. runs out of money, politicians will avert disaster. America's banker, Asia, is betting bond guru Bill Gross of Pacific Investment Management Co. is right that the risk of the U.S. reneging on its debt is zero.
A rational view? I'm not so sure. It's a bit surreal being an American journalist abroad these days as the tables get turned at interviews. After a few questions from me, the interviewee will inevitably ask some variation of: What, oh what, is going on in Washington? What disturbs officials here the most is that this battle is over providing health care to Americans. How, they ask, could half your government take a stand against what other developed nations view as a basic human right? The very nature of this question is what bothers me.

It covers 77,000 square miles, making it the sixteenth largest state in the country. Yet many people couldn't find the great state of South Dakota on a map.
"What do you think about interviewing in Sioux Falls?" Katherine Wang, a neonatalogist at Avera said. "Well, can you pull out a map and show me where we're going because I actually didn't know where it was."
With a population of a little more than 800,000, there's this notion that little exists in So Dak and what does isn't worth seeing.
"Preconceived notions that it's flat, dusty, windy, there's nobody here," said Bruce Yakley, Trail Kings's President/CEO.
So, imagine having no ties to South Dakota and deciding to take a job here. That's exactly what the four people we spoke with did.
A native of Idaho, Josh Lovell moved his young family, including his eight-and-a-half-month pregnant wife to South Dakota in July - the hottest month on record.
"My wife was not excited, even though she knew it was what we were supposed to do," said Lovell.
If they could deal with the weather, the Lovell's quickly realized Josh's job at Raven Industries would help their growing family.
"It just fit on so many different levels. For me and my professional development, for me and my interests, and for me and my family. Raven has very good benefits that will help us out a lot," he said.
David Starks and Katherine Wang will also be raising a young family in Sioux Falls. A Los Angeles native, Katherine never would have dreamt of living in South Dakota.
"I knew it was below North Dakota. I knew it was west of the Mississippi, but that's about the extent of what I knew," Wang said.
Doctors at Avera since August, Katherine and David have seen much of the country. Cleveland was their last residence, a city with a three-point-seven percent higher unemployment rate.
"Things are moving on the up and up and it's exciting to go to a place like that. Cleveland was a nice town, we liked it a lot. But, the news stories were always about how the population was shrinking, how the crime is going up, houses are being foreclosed on, is the city going to stay afloat? You just don't hear that or see that here," said David, a Gynecologic Oncologist at Avera.
Bruce Yakley was semi-retired when Trail King in Mitchell came calling. He took the President/CCO job sight unseen. In eighteen months, he's become a walking billboard for South Dakota, singing the state's praises.
"The people here are so friendly. I think there's a discernable difference. You can walk down the street and people will talk to you," said Yakley.
Katherine and David also think the state's intangibles are its greatest assets.
"It sounds so hokey, but people are so nice here. I still am having trouble getting used to people I don't know waving at me," said Katherine. "I think being from LA and someone waves at you, you avert your eyes. Don't look and maybe they'll go away. I'm realizing people are actually trying to say hi, how are you!"
That's not to say Katherine's new home has the upper hand on all things LA.
"Chinese food! (We need) good Chinese food!"
Katherine and David aren't sure how long they'll stay in South Dakota. Josh isn't either. But, Bruce says South Dakota has captured his heart.
"We're driving a stake in the ground. We actually plan to retire here," he said.
Often seen as just a dot on the map, South Dakota is leaving lasting impressions, a place worth seeing and living in.

No more Libya? Like it never happened?
Damascus, November 14, Interfax - The visit by the Patriarch Kirill of Moscow and All Russia to Syria will strengthen the Russian-Syrian relations, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said at the meeting with him at his residence in Damascus on Sunday.
"I am convinced that your visit will help strengthen the relations between our countries. And it will facilitate a dialog between various cultures of the representatives of various world religions," al-Assad said.
For his part Patriarch Kirill said he knows Syria and its people very well from his many previous visits to this country as head of the Synodal Department for External Church Relations.
"We particularly appreciate the level of the dialog, cooperation and peaceful life of representatives of various religions," the Patriarch said.
In conclusion, he wished peace and prosperity to the entire Syrian people and handed a present to the Syrian president - a chalice made by Urals lapidary masters.

The Atlanta Braves have agreed to yet another extension, this time with shortstop Andrelton Simmons. The team announced that deal will run through 2020, and Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal reports that it's worth $58 million over the next seven seasons.
Simmons will earn a $1 million signing bonus and $1 million in 2014, $3 million in 2015, $6 million in 2016, $8 million in 2017, $11 million in 2018, $13 million in 2019, and $15 million in 2020, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.
Simmons, 24, won the National League Gold Glove for shortstops in his first full season with the Braves in 2013.

He hit just .248/.296/.396, but his glove was spectacular enough to net him a 4.7 WAR from FanGraphs.
The deal buys out two years of his free agent eligibility, in 2019 and 2020, and continues the Braves recent trend of locking up their core players through their arbitration eligibility as well. Simmons will likely make a push for super-two status, which would make him eligible for arbitration next winter and result in a total of four years of total eligibility.
Last season, Simmons somewhat surprisingly hit 17 home runs for the Braves after hitting just six in three years in the minors. That extra pop might not be sustainable given his previous track record, but the added power he showed last season was enough for him to post an overall offensive production that was close to league average despite a .296 on-base percentage.
By securing Simmons, along with Freddie Freeman, Jason Heyward, Julio Teheran, and Craig Kimbrel, the Braves will avoid most of the significant arbitration cases they would have faced for the next few years. Their decision to do so is partially due to their long-term TV deal that is likely to continue limit their payroll as the rest of the league sees their revenue increase.

Research Interests:
The focus of the Liljegren lab is to investigate how membrane trafficking
and cell signaling control key aspects of plant development. We have discovered
that an Arabidopsis ARF GAP, NEVERSHED, is essential for organ abscission.
Using nev mutant flowers as a sensitized genetic background, we have
identified a set of receptor-like kinases--EVERSHED, SERK1, and CAST AWAY--that
act as spatial and temporal inhibitors of organ separation. We are currently
testing whether these kinases inhibit abscission by affecting the localization
and activity of HAESA and HAESA-LIKE2, a pair of receptor-like kinases known
to activate organ separation. We are also analyzing the broader roles of NEVERSHED
and a related ARF GAP in regulating membrane traffic during root and meristem

Big stores have seen mobs of customers kicking off their holiday shopping on Friday, but Saturday is all about locally owned businesses, and it's the fourth annual Small Business Saturday.
However, local business owners in downtown Waco were seeing more people shopping at their business during this Black Friday compared to the last one.
Last year, shoppers spent more than 5.5 billion dollars at independently-owned businesses around the county. American Express started Small Business Saturday in 2010. Now, more than 100 million people are shopping locally and supporting the cause.
In Waco this year, the city is setting up an ice rink for the first ever Winter Wonderland. Officials hope the rink will bring in more people to shop downtown's small businesses.
Store owner Staci Willis-Hines sells a mixture of old and new things: antiques, art work, studio gallery and she says Friday has been busy.
"Most people are going to go to Best Buy and Target and the malls and Wal-Mart, but we actually had quite a few folks that have done the anti-Black Friday and come over here and said, 'We want to come here and go over to some places less crowded and just go tot he smaller boutiques and small businesses," said Willis-Hines. "I guess they're gearing up tomorrow for small business Saturday."
Waco's Winter Winter Wonderland will start on Saturday with a tree lighting and a fireworks show in the evening. There will be activities everyday next week lasting until December 7 which will end with the annual holiday parade at 10am.

Back in late 2011/early 2012, Finger Paints came out with some flakie toppers that were über-popular. They were a limited edition set of five called Special Effects, and I was only ever able to get one called Twisted. It was multicolored and here's what it looked like over black.
Now Finger Paints — a Sally Beauty Supply exclusive — has come out with a new five-polish set called Kaleidoscope. It's not on Sally's web site yet, but Nouveau Cheap alerted me to its appearance in stores. Sure enough, when I went out this morning I stopped by Sally and there they were. The clerks didn't know what they were (typical for this place, sadly) and they all look pretty much alike in the bottle. If you're interested I'd recommend looking at swatches and taking a list to your Sally store of the color(s) you want.
The Special Effects set sold out asap and got scalped for ridiculous prices on eBay. I looked at the swatches on The Polished Mommy and decided to get four: Abstract Attraction, Colorful Dream, Psychedelic Hue, and Vivid Reflection. The one I passed on was Symmetrical Symphony.
Here's what my four look like on a nail wheel, one coat each over a black creme polish. First photo is under indirect outdoor light and the second is with the flash. For some reason the colors didn't show up well in direct sunshine. Left to right: Abstract Attraction, Colorful Dream, Psychedelic Hue, and Vivid Reflection. Click on each photo for an enlarged view.
Abstract Attraction has shades of blue and purple. Colorful Dream is the most diverse and is a rather even mix of many colors. Psychedelic Hue is green, teal, blue, and purple, mostly green I think. Vivid Reflection is pink, orange, and purple, kind of Halloween or Mardi Gras looking.
The flakes were very thick in the bottle, no fishing required at all. I only showed one coat over the black and I'm sure you could intensify the look with more coats. The Kaleidoscope Collection is more subtle than the Special Effects Collection.
Overall I think these will be fun to play with and I'm looking forward to trying them over some of the new spring pastels from Zoya. Each Finger Paints polish was $5.99 at Sally, or $4.49 with a member card, and each bottle is full-sized, 0.5 oz/15 ml.

Will the humble potato no longer be on the menu?
Mashed, roasted, chipped or boiled, potatoes have long been a part of our staple diet, but rising costs mean this could be about to change.
The price of spuds has soared in the last 12 months leaving one county council in our region to decide it can no longer afford to serve them as often in schools, as Gail Mellors reports.

Hundreds of people gathered in Central City Friday night to attend a benefit concert for the Watson family.
Nine people, including eight children and their mother, died in a Muhlenberg County house fire.
Local bands gathered at the Fraternal Order of the Eagles in Central City to raise money for the expenses of Chad and Kylie Watson, who survived the fire. They are still recovering at Vanderbilt Hospital.
The FOE will donate $1,000 on top of what they raised on Friday night.
Organizers tell 14 News an even bigger concert is in the works for the Watson family in March.
The funeral for the victims will be on Saturday.
The services is at Felix Martin Hall behind the Muhlenberg County High School West Campus.
Visitation starts at 11. The funeral begins at 1 followed by a burial at Oak Grove Church in Depoy.

Last week Myke opened for Zion I and Snoop Dogg in Boise and to be honest, I was most excited to see Myke B. What's really appealing about the Portland rapper is that he's a laid back but motivated individual with a genuine love for Hip-Hop. I've chosen a song from each of his three mixtapes so take a listen.

Repeal and Replace
November 12, 2010
Next Tuesday, Congress will reconvene for a lame duck session in order to tie up loose ends before the end of the year. While it's unlikely we'll see anything on the health care front, it's important that we push conservative lawmakers to take immediate action on the issue at the start of the 112th Congress. The new Congress doesn't begin until January 5, but that doesn't mean we should delay in putting ideas on the table and helping to educate Members now.
Nina Owcharenko, Director of the Center for Health Policy Studies at the Heritage Foundation, just released a great report entitled "Repealing Obamacare and Getting Health Care Right." In the piece, Owcharenko lays out a great plan of attack for the new Congress and those Americans wondering where we go from here.
First step. Fight for full repeal. Immediate success in this endeavor will be inevitably difficult given the Senate landscape and a Democratic President, but that shouldn't deter Members from churning out an honest attempt. While working to achieve repeal, Owcharenko says, "Members should continue to focus on the failures and consequences of the new law, block its implementation at every opportunity, and exert strong oversight over the implementation process." The best and most straightforward approach to blocking provisions is to defund them, thus making it difficult for agencies to follow through with the new regulations. When considering defunding, the CLASS Act, new 1099 requirement, changes to Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and the Cadillac Tax are good places to start. Owcharenko also suggests prohibiting funds from going toward Internal Revenue Service efforts to hire new agents to enforce the egregious individual mandate.
While she emphasizes the need for full repeal of the law, she also provides positive alternatives in the form of targeted policies. In the midst of the health care debate, we must remember that we can't merely strive for repeal and no further action. Our current system is in need of reform, but it's free-market solutions, focused on patient choice, that will ultimately prove to be the right cure for our health care woes.
Here are a few of Owcharenko's market-based ideas that she believes will begin to move our health care system in the right direction:
She lists several others in her report, so I'd encourage all of you to check it out! Mind you, we must remember that full repeal of Obamacare is critical before a more positive alternative can be delivered though a step-by-step, fully transparent legislative process. Rest assured we will stay on the forefront of this very important issue and will keep all of you in the loop as developments arise.

The holistic process of learning that places the student at the center of the learning experience demands collaboration, and collaboration demands cultural change.
Division of Student Affairs Learning Outcomes Form
Students living in the residence halls will have multiple opportunities to:
- 1. Be engaged citizens showing individual and social responsibility
- 2. Use critical thinking to effectively solve problems
- 3. Effectively communicate with others
- 4. Respect differences
- 5. Develop a broad cultural awareness
- 6. Demonstrate wellness in their personal and academic lives
- 7. Develop and maintain meaningful relationships
How to Incorporate Learning Outcomes Into Planning
Before planning the steps you need to accomplish or achieve a program or task, ask yourself, "What do I hope students will learn as a result of participating?" The link below will help you write learning outcomes for any program, project or task you wish to accomplish. Doing this first will enable you to intentionally make your project a successful learning experience for those who participate.
Why Use Learning Outcomes
- Provides evidence that your work is intentional - you care about students and their education
- Gives the organization goals to work towards
- Provides direction for planning
- Helps you know if and how programs help students learn
- Becomes an assessment tool by measuring growth, change and the accomplishment of your outcomes

The women's basketball schedule is set in stone, former QB George Godsey gets a new gig, the "Way-Too-Early Top 25" is released, and more on today's Technical Tidbits.

Seat Assignment – Nina Katchadourian
August 8, 2012 | Leave a Comment |
Creative. Smart. Hillarious.
What will you do on your next flight?
"Improvising with materials close at hand, "Seat Assignment" consists of photographs, video, and digital images all made while in flight using only a camera phone. The project began spontaneously on a flight in March 2010 and is ongoing. At present, over 2500 photographs and video, made on more than 75 different flights to date, constitute the raw material of the project. Visit www.ninakatchadourian.com for more information."
No other photographer is more influential to me than Eliot Porter – save my father. I knew Eliot through my mother's long collaboration with him designing and overseeing the production of over twelve of his books during my formative years. His influences on me are too numerous and wide-ranging to list them all here. A few stand out from the rest.
Eliot was a pioneer who elevated the use of, appreciation of, and collectability of color within the medium of photography, aligning his distinctive style with the subtle and complex palette of nature.
Eliot was probably the most widely published fine art photographer of his day. He was at the forefront of a handful of photographers that defined a style that would later characterize an entire genre of photographic environmental advocacy. It was during the production of Eliot's book Intimate Landscapes where I was first introduced to digital imaging. When I saw the Scitex machines used in the 1970s I instantly wanted to use them for artistic rather than commercial purposes, but thought it might be a lifetime before I could afford what my mother called a "million dollar coloring book" until I got my own copy of the first version of Adobe Photoshop, which was a dream come true. The posters my mother designed to promote the book and exhibit ultimately became some of the Metropolitan Museum's most successful, far exceeding the reach of the originals. I learned that an artist's effectiveness could be dramatically extended beyond rare original works of art through publications made available to large audiences.
James Gleick's (the author who popularized complexity sciences and fractal geometry in his best-selling book Chaos) choice to join forces with Eliot on their book Nature's Chaos confirmed my opinion that Eliot had intuitively sensed a deeper order in nature than was conventionally seen and portrayed this in his images. Eliot's background and continuing interest in the sciences informed his art.
Eliot described his book The Place No One Knew, a portrait of Glen Canyon before it was flooded by a dam, as a eulogy because it was released after the flood waters began rising and affected public opinion too late to stop the destruction of the canyon's destruction. Hearing about both the successes and failures of advocacy through the arts, I decided that while I wanted to make my own contributions in this area, that there were plenty of other artists contributing in similar ways, and that new ways were also needed. He knew this when he threw down the gauntlet one day and said to me, "You know, it's going to be your generation that decides whether we will hand down a habitable environment to future generations."
Even more influential to me than his photographs was the man. In his 70's and 80's, Eliot was physically fit (walking 5 miles a day), adventurous (travelling to remote locations like Iceland and Antarctica), mentally sharp as a tack (loving intelligent respectful debates with anyone of any age or background and often playing the devil's advocate just to see where the conversation and the other person would go), and actively socially conscientious (continuing his long-standing participation in organizations like the Sierra Club. He was a shining example in so many ways.

Photographic Insights From Eric Meola
September 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment |
Eric Meola reveals what's so special about photography – twice!
Here's an excerpt of our extended conversation.
I was almost literally hit by a bolt of lightning when I saw a print come up in the developer. My dad was a doctor, and one of his patients was an engineer whose hobby was photography. I was 12 years old at the time, and my father asked him to teach me about photography. My own hobby was "magic"- magic tricks. As soon as I saw the grays and blacks materialize under red light, I made an immediate, intense association and realized instantly that I wanted to be a photographer.
So is photography still a magic trick for you today?
Well, it's still magic…of course it is…and even more so. The ability to make our own archival prints and have completely control over the color is magic…and seeing new talent emerge is magic…and having more time now to shoot my own images is magic. We make the magic, or we don't. And right now I'm having more fun than I've ever had, working on my own projects and books.
First, read my conversation with Eric Meola here.
Second, read Eric's answers to 20 questions (more or less) here.
What's the most useful photographic mantra?
Never stop looking.
What's the thing you most hope to accomplish?
Making someone else excited about photography.
If you had to do it all over again, what would you change?
I'd shoot a lot more – a LOT more.

The Paris Review – 60 Years of Great Interviews
August 17, 2011 | Leave a Comment |
"Founded in Paris by Harold L. Humes, Peter Matthiessen, and George Plimpton in 1953, The Paris Review began with a simple editorial mission: "Dear reader," William Styron wrote in a letter in the inaugural issue, "The Paris Review hopes to emphasize creative work—fiction and poetry—not to the exclusion of criticism, but with the aim in mind of merely removing criticism from the dominating place it holds in most literary magazines and putting it pretty much where it belongs, i.e., somewhere near the back of the book. I think The Paris Review should welcome these people into its pages: the good writers and good poets, the non-drumbeaters and non-axe-grinders. So long as they're good."
In addition to the focus on original creative work, the founding editors found another alternative to criticism—letting the authors talk about their work themselves. The Review's Writers at Work interview series offers authors a rare opportunity to discuss their life and art at length; they have responded with some of the most revealing self-portraits in literature. Among the interviewees are William Faulkner, Vladimir Nabokov, Joan Didion, Seamus Heaney, Ian McEwan, and Lorrie Moore. In the words of one critic, it is "one of the single most persistent acts of cultural conservation in the history of the world."

Ballet in Los Angeles
Few forms of entertainment are as thrilling as the ballet, for both the spectator and the dancer, and anyone interested in participating knows that opportunities to see or… perform ballet are quite rare. Los Angeles ballet performances and schools can be sought out for those with an earnest interest, usually by contacting the theatre or school where performances are most often held. For those who wish to pursue ballet as dancers, they should aim to broaden their dance vocabulary by learning as many styles of dance as possible. More

Dear Mr. Loomis, Mr. Payton et all,
I write this plea to you today to maybe give you a voice from a fan, even if a fan that has only been supporting the organization for a few years. Today the Saints lost to the Browns. The Browns going into this game were a team that only won 1 game, going up against the Saints who won the Super bowl and played teams and QBs that were outstanding and future Hall of Famers respectively. I write this to you today to discuss some issues.
The special teams of the Saints gave up a 69 yard punt return on a trick play, and then a 60 yard run by the punter of the team. This did not surprise this fan, and I'm sure it didn't surprise others. Our special team play has been in, what an acquaintance would call, a "Steep Decline". This has been evident in our lack of field position and our lack of coverage. In the opinion of this fan, a radical change is needed. We need a new Special teams coach. The Miami Dolphins went through this process and benefited. If you would prefer to wait until the bye to better manage that is fine, but it is obvious that our special teams, which consists of many starters, is poor.
Our play calling is suspect. Last year, the Saints went with what worked not with what we had to do. In the Miami game we were behind by 2 scores and yet still kept pushing the ball down field with runs knowing Miami was suffering under the run that day. When the pass has been working, we go to the run, when the run is working we have been passing. As well we run screens, which is a good play, but are run constantly to where the Defense knows what is coming.
The O-line is not the all-star line we had, yet consists of the same 5 guys we had last year. A wake up call is needed for them, yet the Falcons game, the Cardinals game did not seem enough. We lost to the Browns, and are running out of "wake up calls". As well, I won't get into the subject of Drew Brees. He can be otherworldly and he cannot make simple plays without doing too much. I hope you know what to do, but it is obvious something must be done.
There are many other subjects, but I am sure you already know these. I ask you on behalf of other fans, other Saints fans, ones who suffered many times more than I have while rooting for this team. To please realize, our team can win any game they put their heart into, yet have no heart left to give. This team is great, and should be great when they step on the field. Yet they seem to walk off the field with something to scrape off their cleats, and it is their play.
Signed with concern,
Saints fans of all stripes.

Minnie Muse
Sketch by Richard Nicoll
As Fashion week draws ever nearer, one woman is on the lips of every Londoner.She has been a style icon ever since her 1928 debut and has inspired generationafter generation of girls to adopt polka dots, bows and over-sized shoes that falloff when you're running away from an escaped gorilla or a drunken pirate. Notmany 84 year olds can still pull that off. It is, the always illustrious, Miss MinnieMouse.
eBay and the British Fashion Council have teamed up their initiative to supportyoung British fashion talent with Walt Disney and asked a who's who ofupcoming designers to create their own "Minnie Must Haves". Giles Deacon,Richard Nicoll, Lulu Guinness, Tatty Devine and Michael van der Ham are just afew of the names who will be showcasing their garments and accessories at LFWbefore they are auctioned off online with all proceeds going to charity. Expectplenty of front row mouse ears to be blocking your catwalk views.

So, have you heard? Tony-winning Broadway actress/singer Kristin Chenoweth will release her first country album, Some Lessons Learned, on September 13. Will it be any good? Well, the woman definitely knows how to sing and entertain, and she's working with some good songwriters (including the legendary Diane Warren). A Randy Travis duet is also in the works, which is another encouraging sign. At any rate, it comes as a surprise that she and her label have churned out a debut single that is, in all honesty, utterly wretched. Jaw-droppingly terrible. Abysmally atrocious.
It sounds like the amazing award-winning talents of Kristin Chenoweth were taking a siesta during this recording session, because all I hear is a cacophony of screeching and whining swamped in excessive auto-tuning. Her performance on this track is shrill, thin, and downright painful for the ears to hear.
But even if Kristin had delivered a world-class vocal performance, there would still be no saving this song. "I Want Somebody" is meant to be about a woman's search for unconditional love, but it ends up a stupid rattled-off laundry list of 'I-wants,' which range from dull, to cheesy, to flat-out ridiculous. From "I want somebody I can bitch about" to "I want somebody who can make me insane, completely crazy," this is an awful song.
"I Want Somebody" is thoroughly finished off by a grating, overcrowded arrangement, thus driving the final nail in the coffin, and ensuring that this abhorrent single is an epic fail from every angle. If Kristin Chenoweth ever wants to be taken seriously as a country artist, then some major re-evaluating of strategies is in order, because this here is definitely not working. Listen at your own risk.

All it takes is a seattle collapse to get them to 8-8. Im not betting on that but it would mean finshing the year at 8 or 9 wins. Next week is not must win. If we can knock off PHI, STL, NO, and at ATL then thats 10 wins.
Seattle has a pretty easy schedule coming up. We have a pretty difficult one

PEORIA, Ill. -- With the planting season almost underway, officials want to make sure everyone stays safe when they travel on rural roads.
Wednesday, Illinois State Police, along with the Illinois Farm Bureau and Illinois Department of Transportation, unveiled their new "slow down, share the road" campaign.
The new campaign will place banners on roads throughout the state, reminding drivers to be on the lookout for farm equipment during the planting and harvesting seasons.
Officials say their goal is to raise awareness about the dangers of driving in rural areas when farm equipment is present on the road.
"We encourage motorists to be patient around farm time. We have to share the road with them. It's part of Illinios, they're going to be out there soon starting with spring planting season, and continue on through the summer and in the fall harvest season," Trooper Dustin Pierce said.
According to Illinois State Police, roadway collisions are the second leading cause of farm-related deaths in the state.
