Three simple steps to a better retirement
By Brenda Spiering, Editor, BrighterLife.ca
The start of a new year always makes me want to start fresh — in terms of both sorting out my cupboards and reviewing my retirement savings.
While I'm not one for making New Year's resolutions, come Jan. 1, I usually make a list of things I want to do — not day-to-day things, but bigger potentially life-changing things. And one of those things is to ensure I've topped up my RRSP contributions.
Actually, in recent years — since I've started contributing to my RRSP via automatic payroll deductions — my contributions have fortunately not needed topping up. But the looming March 3 RRSP deadline (since March 1 — the usual deadline — is a Saturday), always serves as a good reminder of the need to review my overall savings.
Sound daunting? It doesn't have to be. For a quick overview of everything you need to know, check out: What's your retirement vision?
And whether your retirement is a long way off or just around the corner, there are three easy ways to help ensure your financial plans are on track:

The Iowa State volleyball program moved up to No. 12 in the latest AVCA Coaches Poll, which came out on Monday. The Cyclones were ranked No. 13 in the preseason poll.
ISU defeated UW-Milwaukee in two matches this past weekend. The Cyclones earned sweeps in both matches, winning the sets by an average of 8.8 points per frame.
Iowa State (2-0) will travel to Northern Iowa (2-1) on Wednesday before heading to Minnesota for the Diet Coke Classic this weekend. The Cyclones will face the 13th-ranked Golden Gophers in addition to George Washington and Auburn at the tournament.
Sidenote.... The Volleyball team is celebrating breaking the record for season tickets. They went over 500 for the first time. I think that a #12 ranking deserves better than that. Come on folks, lets show them some support...attend a game or two. You might just catch the excitement that a national ranking can bring.

CHIPPER Jones, grab the biggest fork you own because Tatis is bringing the grand salami to the longest game in Citi Field's young history.
If you don't know the result, the Mets lost. From the introduction, you probably wouldn't have guessed. But that's ok, because I've decided not to be too negative.
Plus, well, it's always fun to mock Larry, even in defeat.
Fernando Tatis hit his first grand slam since 2002 but Martin Prado had the last laugh as he hit a 12th-inning home run off of Ken Takahashi to give the Braves an 8-7 win.
Carlos Beltran and the New York Mets showed heart to come back from the brink of defeat on Tuesday. On Wednesday, they just ran out of steam.
The lead switched hands early on but when it came to the business end of the game, the Mets fell 90ft short as Jose Reyes was left stranded on third.
12 innings, 16 pitchers, 25 hits, almost 400 pitches. And it had a little of everything.
The Braves and Mets exchanged two-spots in the 1st inning and the Braves added a pair in the 3rd.
But Tatis gave the Mets a blast with a home run in the 4th to give the mets a lead they would eventually relinquish after 3hrs 46mins.
Chipper Jones, the guy who victimised the Mets at Shea as much as any hitter in the Bigs, doubled in the first run of the game to score Yunel Escobar in the 1st and Garret Anderson singled him home the following batter to make it 2-0 before the Mets came to bat.
But Jose Reyes led off for the Mets with a double to left and Luis Castillo hit a three-bagger, which was really just a misplayed single.
Carlos Beltran walked and the Braves trade a run for a double play to make it 2-2 before David Wright grounded out.
The Braves re-took the lead on the back of a walk and three straight hits in the 3rd inning, but Jo-Jo Reyes fell into more trouble in the home half of the 4th.
Beltran walked for the second consecutive time, Gary Sheffield singled to center and Wright, who had fallen into an 0-2 hole, he hit a 3-2 squibber off the end of his bat to shallow centre-field to load the bases.
Fill 'em up, bring 'em home
Buddy Carlyle came into the game in long relief, but he served up a 1-0 fastball right down broadway to Tatis for the grand salami - the seventh of Tatis' career.
The pitch was supposed to be down and away, but Tatis doubled his RBI total for the season with one swing of the lumber, driving a ball off the top of the outfield wall.
Jo-Jo Reyes left with the lead but immediately got placed on the hook for the loss and Mets starter Jonathan Niese then got pulled with two outs in the fifth, also with the lead after giving up a fifth Braves run on Chipper's sac fly to Ryan Church.
Brian Stokes recorded four consecutive outs in relief but Bobby Parnell gave up the tying run, an unearned run because of a David Wright fielding error, to Anderson in the 7th inning to make it 6-6.
The Mets had a chance to re-take the lead straight away, but timely mental errors cost them dearly.
Reyes doubled down the line to left on a ball that Chipper thought was going foul, but he tried to take third on next batter Castillo's ground ball that was hit to the third-base side of the shortstop.
To make matters worse, Reyes didn't even slide into the base, making Chipper's tag very simple and infinitely frustrating.
To add insult to injury, Castillo then got thrown out trying to steal second base on a tag that was probably a fraction too late. When it rains it pours.
Things didn't get any better for the Mets in the 8th when JJ Putz came in to pitch.
It seems that every outing is an adventure for JJ right now. He gave up a run on a pair of doubles yesterday and he gave up the go-ahead run on two more rocket doubles today.
Marlon Prado led off the inning with a well-hit two-bagger and after David Ross popped up trying to bunt Ross over, pinch-hitting Kelly Johnson drilled one to deep right field and off the mesh fench at the Mo Zone to make it 7-6.
Mets fans called for character and Gary Sheffield delivered in the 8th inning, depositing Rafael Soriano's fastball to left field for a solo blast to tie the game.
The 9th inning brought K-Rod into the game, but he too fell into early trouble, giving up a line drive double to left and walking Chipper intentionally.
Anderson should have bunted but instead he lofted a fly ball to Church who circled the ball, got behind it and unleashed a cannon to Wright who dove to the bag to tag out Escobar who was challenging the throw.
The Mets could not put across a runner in the bottom of the inning and they had to rely on Pedro Feliciano retiring two batters on two pitchers to stop a run from scoring in the top of the 10th.
Feliciano then retired three more in the 11th but Prado hit the go-ahead home run off the Mets' last piycher in the bullpen in the 12th.
Reyes led off the bottom of the inning with a double which looked like it was going to carry out and he advanced to third base on Castillo's sacrifice.
However, Gonzalez struck out Delgado with the high heat and Sheffield on a nasty backdoor breaking ball to seal the win.
It's a long plane ride to San Francisco. Let's hope the west coast weather get the Mets back on track.
For those of you who were counting, here's Tatis' grand slam history, which includes the pair he hit in the same inning against Chan Ho Park.

CLIFTON (FOX19) - Munchie LeGaux started for the Bearcats at quarterback and the Tommy Tuberville era started with a big win over a Big Ten opponent.
In front of a record crowd of 36,007, the Bearcats outscored Purdue 28-0 in the second half to cruise to a 42-7 win.
LeGaux played most of the first three quarters, but staying true to his word that both quarterbacks would play, Tuberville inserted Brendon Kay in the third quarter.
Both quarterbacks produced multiple touchdown scoring drives. Tuberville says the competition will continue before UC's next game at Illinois.
According to reports, the NFL is asking potential Super Bowl halftime acts to pay to perform.

1. I have never used rubber stretchy bands for anything in public before.
2. I am not much of a class attendee these days as I get bored easily and have a low threshold for attentiveness
3. I have never worked out at The Fitness Academy before
4. I do not believe I actually have Ab muscles. Apparently they must be there or I would fall over.. but I have never seen any sign of them.
5. I had already done 1.5 hours of a mix of cardio and strength training (silly me).
So in between sessions I had downed a protein shake and a coffee, rested a bit and headed off to class. Received a very warm welcome from James and went to "warm my core temp" on the spin bike while I waited for the class to start. Let me say that I nearly missed the class because I got absorbed in a TV add on the big screen which showed a 70 year old woman's wrinkles just vanishing before my eyes just with the use of (very expensive) eye cream.. I love day time TV infomercials... pity the woman's face was puffing up like a beach ball as everything swelled – but hey the wrinkles were going... Luckily my attention was drawn back to where it should be and off I went.
Now I know from Carla's Pull up demonstration on the School Monkey Bars that different band colours mean different resistance so I just went for the black ( cause that's what most of the class had and I thought I didn't want to show up my awesome-ness (or lack of) in my first session. Instructor Thomas had pre-warned me that there were lots of body weight exercises too and thinking back to PHAT CAMP I wondered.. how bad can that really be???? Well. Let Me Tell you it can be BAAAAAAAD!
Don't be fooled into thinking because you are lying on the ground that it is easy – there seemed to be an infinite number of crunches at increasingly difficult levels of difficulty. ( I was definitely regretting the protein shake and large cappuccino at this point). But then we moved around a bit and got to use the stretchy bands which was fun. (Note to self don't stand in the middle of the room because when I fall over with one foot up in the air due to poor balance you put the instructor off and they do too.- oops).
I really liked using the bands and loved the class too. I like the fact its small and I can imagine that it's going to get a good following of friendly like minded people.
The proof of its success was always going to be what happened the next day. You see I don't get sore generally, maybe a twinge or too but certainly never PAIN. And whilst Carla's response to this is often " you should train harder" I have had many many health professionals stunned by the fact that I just don't pull up sore from any amount of manipulation, prodding, exercise, stretching or bending. The only exception to this is when I first started training and then my legs would hurt like a B***tch. This at least proves that I do have some nerve fibres that work.
So the next day...yes I did feel my abs. I felt them as I was lying in bed completely still – they were just saying "hello we are here". Would I do the class again – you betcha... Loved it and am even planning on buying some bands... who knows where they could come in handy ........

Arthur Miller's Award-Winning DEATH OF A SALESMAN Comes to Theatre Memphis, 1/24-2/9
Death of a Salesman, Arthur Miller's Pulitzer and Tony Award-winning drama comes to life on the Lohrey Stage at Theatre Memphis January 24 - February 9, 2014. Willy Loman, one of the most famous characters in the history of the American theater, is a tortured soul hoping for a better life for his wife and sons. Reconciliation and forgiveness will come at a price as a secret is revealed- changing all their lives. In this American classic piece of theater a working class family stands divided.
Director Tony Isbell has blogged about the process of putting together such an iconic production. On Broadwayworld.com he talks of the approach of beginning such a feat and will take it through the opening night. He first questions himself, "Did I have any fresh insights to bring to the show?" and "Would enough people turn out to audition...?" There was a moment's hesitation to agree to the role of directing, but the opportunity far outweighed the concerns.
Further in his blog Isbell states, "Having made my decision, the first order of business was to have auditions." He continues, "Not only did I have the 'right' people, I had that problem that every director both wants and dreads: I had to make choices...." Executive Producer at Theatre Memphis Debbie Litch singles out Isbell as a director who attracts talent. "Tony has a great reputation for quality work. It is so important to Theatre Memphis to have that quality in a director which actors choose to work with on a complicated, dramatic piece. We couldn't be happier with the cast."
Starring in the role of the lead, Willy Loman, is James Dale Green, a veteran Memphis actor who last was seen on the TM stage as the blind man in Young Frankenstein. The two roles could not be more different than comedy and drama itself but the range of work from Green has proven his abilities. Playing Willy's wife, Linda, is Janie Paris (who has portrayed the role twice before), and the sons Biff and Happy are played by accomplished actors John Moore and Greg Earnest, respectively. The cast rounds out with Jody Kostner, Shannon Leonard, Timothy Burke, Jim Palmer, Matthew Hamner, Rachel A. Strickland, Chad Hoy, Elliott Heck and Jamie Broadway.

The oldest active EMT in the state of Illinois is serving right here in the Tri-States.
85-year-old Josephine Burkey with the Brown County Ambulance Service was presented with a service award today.
Burkey works on the basic life support ambulance helping take care of patients and is still on call 80-plus hours a week.
Burkey was on the first ambulance run in Brown County in 1974.
She says she's glad she still gets to help people every single day.
"I just enjoy doing it. I always wanted to be a nurse and I did graduate as an LPN when I was 47 years old. Then I went and worked at the hospital in Rushville and retired from there. But I just kept this up," said Burkey.
Burkey was honored at the Camp Point golf course during the annual emergency responders golf outing celebrating EMS week.

Help needed in sending a form to javascript and then to PHP
Hi friends
I'm trying to create a new user function so users can enter data and become a member of my site but it won't work. I have finished coding all the javascript and PHP script validation and sending to server code but I don't know how to join them like this:
'User submits form' --> 'javascript validates form' --> 'PHP validates and sends form values to database'
All I need to know is how to connect the different functions. How would I do this?

First of all write a JavaScript function that returns true if the JavaScript validation has passed, False otherwise.
Then, in the HTML:
PHP Code:
<form action="yourPHPFile.php" method="post" onsubmit="return yourFunction();">
You then treat it like every other form in your PHP validation. Just make sure you are double checking everything in PHP as you do in JavaScript, as JavaScript can be bypassed.Jake Arkinstall

Your form and javascript will look like this:
Code html4strict:
<html> <head> <title>test</title> <script type="text/javascript"> funciton validate(frm){ if(frm.yourname.value == ''){ alert('Enter your name.'); return false; } return true; } </script> </head> <body> <form name="frm1" method="post" action="process.php" onsubmit="return validate(this);"> Your name: <input name="yourname" type="text" id="yourname" /> <br /><input type="submit" name="btnSubmit" id="btnSubmit" value="Submit" /> </form> </body> </html>
And your server script will look like this:
PHP Code:
$yourname = $_POST['yourname'];
echo 'You missed to enter your name';
// connect to database
// select database
// prepare a insert statement
// execute the insert statement with mysql_query function.
Mistakes are proof that you are trying.....

Make a form that submits to the php script.
No javascript yet.
Test and refine until complete.
Create a javascript function that will return true or false depending on whether or not the form's fields are valid.
Use the submit event of the form element to call the function as the event handler. Returning false from the event handler function will prevent the form from submitting.
edit-I'm too slow

Rainfall expected this week will help the wildfire situation in central Alabama, but it will take the spring "greenup" before the danger passes.
Coleen Vansant, with the Alabama Forestry Commission, compares the forest right now to the dry skin so many endure during the winter months. "Forest fuel is dry right now because of the warm weather and the low humidity," she said. Vansant added conditions Monday have improved simply because the humidity has gone up.
The Alabama Forest Commission is asking people to use extreme caution if an outdoor burn is required. Make certain you have enough people and equipment on hand to handle the flame. It is also always better to burn immediately after rainfall.
Wildfire activity this past week was high. Saturday, March 16, almost 80 fires burned statewide consuming 2,500 acres.

Blatant power protecting taints 2011 playoff bracket
I tried not to write this column. I really did. I sat on my couch and went in circles over it for an hour and a half before realizing that I'd be upset with myself if I didn't speak my mind. I hinted at it two weeks ago in an article about the playoff bracket. Head football coach Joseph Smith has openly decried it. Analysts across the World Wide Web have scratched their heads. We've all come to the same conclusion:
This year's D-III football bracket is broken and broken badly. Pundits have called this season's playoff format a 'Travel Bracket,' in which teams from far out of region are grouped together, creating matchups between teams who have never before met on the turf.
The few supporters of the bracket say it facilitates ambassadorship between far-off schools in ways that aren't possible in the regular season. But those supporters are few.
I can understand some of the benefits of building a 'Travel Bracket,' like getting to travel to a new region and facing East Coast programs with storied histories. But don't be confused, folks: this is not a travel bracket. It's a power protection bracket, no matter what the NCAA says to the contrary.
Perennial powers Mt. Union and University of Wisconsin-Whitewater have met in the NCAA D-III finals for the past six seasons, and their path to the Stagg Bowl has never been simpler than this season.
Consider their areas of the bracket, in which both received a No. 1 seed. The combined win-loss record of the teams in Union's bracket is 70-9; Whitewater's is 70-11. Those brackets feature, excluding the two top seeds, a paltry eight teams in the top 25 and only three in the Top 10.
That's not a typo: half of the teams in Union's and Whitewater's brackets are unranked. They include such teams as 7-3 Benedictine and 6-4 Albion, who only made playoffs by virtue of winning conference titles in two of the nation's softest regions.
For a perspective check, Linfield's area of the bracket featured four teams in the Top 10, a combined win-loss record of 69-6 and features four of only eight schools to make the semifinals in D-III football during basically the last decade (Linfield, Wesley, Mary-Hardin Baylor and Trinity).
No team in the bracket has more than two losses and only one of them isn't ranked in the Top 25. This bracket quadrant is disgustingly and blatantly loaded, to the point that No. 8 California
Lutheran didn't even get a home playoff game despite finishing the regular season in the Top 10.
How can you call this anything but power protection? The NCAA is looking out for its two top contenders without even trying to conceal it. Beyond that, they're making half of the playoffs
completely uninteresting by stuffing Union and Whitewater with cupcake teams en route to yet another Stagg Bowl matchup.
Top 10 teams get shafted, half of the bracket sucks and we get a seventh consecutive Union-Whitewater national championship; could this possibly get any worse?
Believe me when I say that this column isn't a justification for the 49-34 drubbing the 'Cats suffered in Dover, Del.; that game was a winnable one against a talented Wesley team that Linfield just couldn't close out. This column is frustration that even in Division-III football, where values, ethics and the love of the game trump scholarships, NFL scouts and Heisman trophies. Corruption runs deep.
I hope the NCAA listens to the chorus of 'boos' it's receiving from the D-III community and gets its head on straight next season by creating a more equitable bracket. If Mt. Union and UW-Whitewater are so damn good they can prove it on the field against tougher competition, just like everybody else.

Warren Wilson Physics
Inertia. A massive bowling ball (black) and a small green ball are launched with the same initial velocity (blue arrow). Both masses experience the same small friction force of 0.1 N (shown as green arrows on the balls).
Explain the difference between the two paths. Why does the friction have a negligible effect on the bowling ball, yet manages to stop the small green ball? Use the ideas of inertia, force, and acceleration. Explain how this demo relates to one of the experiments in the lab.

Purcell was former mayor of Houston, Alaska. Purcell resigned his position days before a scheduled recall in 2010[1].
Purcell ran in the 2012 election for Alaska House of Representatives District 7. He was defeated by incumbent Wes Keller in the Republican primary on August 28, 2012.[2][3]

2010 recall
A vote on whether or not to recall Purcell from his position as mayor was scheduled for June 22, 2010, but Purcell resigned from the office days before the election.
The official reason given on the recall papers was "misconduct in office by using emergency lights on a city vehicle while not responding to an emergency." This allegation involved a video that was taken by the camera of a police vehicle Purcell drove to Fairbanks. Charlie Seidl, who was at the time a police sergeant in Houston, downloaded the video from the official vehicle, gave it to a member of the Houston City Council and posted it on YouTube.[4]
The full list of reasons why recall organizers wanted Purcell out of office include the following assertions that Purcell:
- Traveled to Fairbanks in a police vehicle without council approval.[5]
- Purchased an airline ticket without council approval.
- Authorized the city clerk to file a complaint with the Alaska Public Offices Commission knowing it included a false complaint.
- Used unauthorized blue flashing lights while making a traffic stop.
- Participated in executive sessions without stating the specific topic to be discussed.
Purcell and his wife, Biaca, have one child.[6]

Hotel Panic - Whack-a-mole mixed with a hotel game (by Ludic Side)
Hi Guys!!
My name is Daniel and I'm from a independent game studio called Ludic Side, from Brazil.
Yesterday we launch our second game. We noticed that the classic whack-a-mole is getting kinda boring nowadays and we want to bring fun to these games again. With that in mind, we mixed that genre with a hotel game and BAM... We created Hotel Panic!
In this game, the player has to be quick to catch the bandits and needs to pay attention in order to not arrest any hotel guest by accident. Each bandit and guest gives you coins to spend on upgrades, decorations (which improve the score), guards (that help you catch the bandits), etc.
Low bandwidth Version | Pop Up
The game is available for iOS and Android:
Apple Store: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hotel-panic/id794453023
Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...udicside.hotel
If you like, please download and rate the game!
THANKS!!! We really need your support

I was thinking about some of the former Magic teams and thought about where all the players are now from the 09 Finals team to the present and how they are going. So I did some research and thought I would share it.
1) This is my first real Fanpost so please give me feedback on everything so I can improve, I can take criticism. All feedback will be appreciated.
2) The stats come from ShamSports, Basketball Reference and the ever reliable Wikipedia.
3) If a left out a player or you have something to add please do so in the comments.
4) Starting at the PG and going through to the C's
Rafer Alston, PG, 2009
Rafer Alston with the Magic for all of 5 months replaced the injured Jameer Nelson, helping the Magic advance to the Finals in 09.
He was traded along with Courtney Lee for Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson in the following offseason. He spent half a season with the Nets, before being released and picked up by the Heat. He started all 25 games he played there, after which he was suspended for missing a practice and a game. Highlight post-Magic: Alston recorded a triple double (17pts, 10asts, 10reb) against the Magic on 13 Nov 09, the Nets went on to lose the game.
In January 2011 he signed with a Chinese Basketball Association, he lasted a month before being dropped by the Zhejiang Guangsha. In 2012 he joined the LA D-League team a team he is no longer with. Though he has never 'officially' retired there is little chance he plays professional basketball again.
Chris Duhan, PG, 2010-2012
Probably the most disliked player I have ever witnessed on OPP. Struggling to, well, do this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball. It seemed he would not want to shoot the ball. In his two seasons in Orlando he averaged only 18mins a game, but attempted only 3 shots a game even though he shot a reasonable 37% from 3 (42% in his final season). He owned a 29TOV% but a 20Ast% while with the Magic.
He was involved in the Howard trade in August 2012 which sent him to the Lakers. Chris Duhon played 46 games with the Lakers before being waived. He has yet to be picked up by another team.
Despite this seemingly negative narrative about Chris Duhon always remember he gave us the travel dance just before his exit.
Courtney Lee, SG, 2008-2009
Drafted by the Magic in 2008, Courtney Lee ended his career in Orlando after one season. That season saw him start for a Finals team and gave us an almost game winning ally oop layup in Game 2 of the 09 Finals. (For a trip down memory lane, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ari8OjYhA). Over his rookie season with the magic he averaged 25mins a game, shooting the 3 at 40% on 2.6 attempts a game.
He was involved in a trade that netted us Vince Carter and Ryan Anderson. Since leaving the Magic Courtney Lee has become somewhat of a journeyman. He spent one season at the Nets before being traded to the Houston Rockets where he spent two seasons before being traded to Boston Celtics. This January he was traded again to the Grizzlies. He saw over 30mins of court time in New Jersey but that fell to just 16mins with Boston, despite shooting 44% from deep this season. Since his arrival in Memphis he has started 12 of the 14 games he has played, averaging 32 mins and shooting 53.1% from the floor (40% from deep) averaging 13.5 points.
Courtney Lee signed a four year, $21.35mil contract in 2012.
Vince Carter, SG, 2009-2010
The player traded for after the '09 finals run to put the Magic over the top... that worked out well....
Vince Carter has some Vintage Vince moments with the Magic but was not the player he was expected, or asked, to be. He was traded along with Gortat to the Suns in 2010. His numbers did not drop dramatically at all in the trade, the worst being a drop is true shooting from 56% to 51%. Although he was still producing at his normal levels the Suns waived the final year of his contract as only $4mil was guaranteed of the $18m. After the half season at the Suns, Carter signed a three year, $9.5m contract with Dallas. Considering his production still has not dipped greatly from his time at Orlando, where he made $17.3m in his final season, he has become an underpaid player in terms of production averaging 12pts, 3asts, 4reb and 38% 3 point shooting on 22% usg rating. Vince Carter will be a free agent this offseason and at 37 years of age it will be interesting to see what he does.
Jason Richardson, SG, 2010-2012
Vince Carters replacement as the starting two guard for the Magic after the December 2010 Suns trade. J Rich was again asked to be the dynamic scoring two guard the magic had been searching for since the '09 Finals. Again he did not live up to expectations as his numbers declined on his arrival to Orlando, in his season and a half with the Magic he shot 42% from the field. However he was resigned to a four year, 25million contract by the magic in December 2011. He was traded to the 76ers as part of the Howard trade.
Since in Philly he has been sidelined with injuries and has not really been a part of the teams youth movement, he has yet to play this season due to injury and only played 33 games last season, shooting his worst field goal percentage yet at 40%. He will mostly likely pick up the player option on his contract next season making $6.6million and will probably be traded as an expiring sometime next year.
JJ Redick, SG, 2006-2013
The Magic's first round pick the 2006 Draft beloved by all, except one, Magic fans was traded to the Bucks in a deadline deal in February last year. Although the trade was made for professional reasons it was obvious the Bucks were merely renting Redick for a playoff push, despite the fact that he only played 17min per game in the Bucks playoff series against the Heat.
Needless to say during the off season Redick signed to play with the contending Clippers on a four year contract. Starting for the Clippers Redick is averaging 16 points a game shooting the 3ball at 39% on 5 attempts a game. He has only played 30 games due to injuries.
DeAndre Liggins, SG, 2011-2012
Drafted in the 2nd round of 2011 draft Deandre Liggins played a season in Orlando before being cut. By a season it must be noted he played 17 games and averaged 7mins in those games.
He was signed by the Thunder where he had a more 'success' than in Orldando. With the Thunder he assigned to the D -League team the Tulsa 66ers. He was called up multiple times by the Thunder playing in 39 games and starting in one. He averaged 9 minutes in 8 playoff games with the Thunder. He was waived in September 2013 and signed in November 2013 with the Sioux Falls Skyforce. He has made the 2014 D-league All Start team.
Quentin Richardson, Wing, 2010-2012
"The wing is the wing"
Q Rich played two seasons with the Magic on the wing averaging 17mins while shooting the 3 ball at 31%. He was waived before the start of the 2012-2013 season in favour of Dequan Jones.
He was signed by the Knicks in April 2013 and played one game with them that season. He shot 1-11 in that game for 5pts, but recorded 10 rebounds in 29 minutes. He stayed with the Knicks the rest of the season. He was traded to the Raptors in the 2013 offseason where he was subsequently waived.
Brandon Bass, PF, 2009-2011
Words were said, people were banned, and at the end of the day Bass probably lost the OPP debate over who should get the minutes as the backup PF. That being said his second season in Orlando was his best shooting season yet, averaging 11points on 51% shooting and 6 rebounds.
He was traded for Glen Davis of the Celtics in December 2011.
His time at the Celtics has been better even though not as productive. He is playing 29 mins a game and starting in over two thirds of his games played at Boston. He signed a three year $19.4million contract to stay with Boston in July 2012.
Ryan Anderson, PF, 2009-2012
Former Most Improved Player and a perfect stretch power forward in Stan van Gundy's 4 out 1 in offense. He shot the three ball at 39% in his time in Orlando. He was however one of the first players moved by Orlando's new General Manager Rob Hennigan in the 2012 offseason.
Since being a part of Hornets/Pelicans Ryan Anderson has come off the bench averaging 17points on 39% 3point shooting as well as increasing his rebounding totals two 6.5 a game. In January 2014, he suffered a herniated disk and is out indefinitely.
Rashard Lewis, PF, 2007-2010
Signed to a six year $118million contract in 2007... ... one of the players which lead the Magic to its second Finals appearance in 2009... ...traded for a worse contract in December 2010... becomes an NBA champion.
Lewis was a fan favourite in Orlando, and after the trade he went to a very poorly run Wizards team. He went from 40% three point shooting on 6 attempts a game to 30% on 3 attempts a game with the Wizards. He stayed at the Wizards for a season and half before being traded to the New Orleans Hornets, who bought out the final year of his contract. He signed with the Miami Heat in July 2012 on a two year, $2.8m contract where he has bought his 3 point shooting up to 37%, and he won a championship in 2013. Good on you Lewis.
Marcin Gortat, C, 2007-2010
The last, in my opinion, true backup Center the Magic have had in years. A draft day trade made by the Magic in 2005, acquired Gortat. He played three and a half seasons in pinstripes.
In 2009 the Magic matched a five year $34 million offer sheet from Dallas to retain Gortat.
In December 2010 he was traded to the Pheniox Suns. His minutes received an immdiete jump from 16 per game to 30per game, as well as his scoring and rebounding from 4 and 5 to 13 and 9 pts and rebounds respectively. He eventually won the starting spot on the Suns.
Marcin Gortat was traded to the Washington Wizards during the last week of the offseason. He is an upcoming free agent this offseason.
Daniel Orton, C, 2011-2012
The 2010 first round draft pick by the Magic just played 16 games with the team, due to injuries and being a project on a at the time contending team.
He was waived following 2012 season and was signed by the Thunder in that August. He was released in October but was resigned four days later after the James Harden trade which included center Cole Aldrich. He was sent to the Tulsa 66ers in the D-Luege. After 13 games with the Thunder he was waived in October 2013. This season he had played 22 games for the 76ers before being released. He is currently playing for the Maine Red Claws.
Post Magic Highlight: The only double-double of his career was with the 76ers. He recorded 10pts, 10rebs, 2 blocks against the Pacers.
Dwight Howard, C, 2004-2012
If you have not heard Dwight was traded to the Lakers, where he played poorly for Dwight Howard but still great compared with most big men. He then signed with the Rockets. He also likes loyalty.
Honourable mentions
Jason Williams - Retired and loving white chocolate
Gilbert Arenas - whereabouts unknown, still gets a cheque in the mail from the Magic though through to 2016.
Hedo Turkoglu - Signed by the Clippers while getting a cheque from the Magi.
Al Harrington - Receiving a cheque from the Magic while playing for the Wizards.
Dequan Jones - Jumping really high for the Reno Bighorns
Von Wafer - Played in China now in the D-League

Chicago Bears safety Major Wright wasn't a major contributor last season, but he could potentially be one this season.
Wright appeared in 11 games last season for the Bears. He made 24 tackles. He didn't get much playing time because Chris Harris and Danieal Manning did such a solid job in the secondary.
Danieal Manning isn't under contract for the upcoming season, but the Bears clearly want him back. If Manning doesn't return expect Wright to get his spot next to veteran Chris Harris.
Wright, a third-round pick from the University of Florida surely has to be excited about the possibility of starting next season. But did the Bears truly see enough of him last season to just hand him the job right away.
We all saw that the potential in Wright, but could he turn into another Craig Steltz or Adam Archuleta, two safeties who had high exceptions coming to the Bears, but failed to succeed.
Wright has solid instincts, hands and tackling ability, but he was hit with the injury bug early last season. A hamstring injury plagued Wright last year and he started to gain valuable experience on the field in the safety rotation with Chris Harris and Danieal Manning.
If Wright stays healthy he will get that shot at the starting job that he deserves. Danieal Manning seems unlikely to be returning to the Bears at this point, so Wright is the next player in the line at safety.
Major Wright will take that next step next season, depending on the improvement that he shows in the off-season. Major Wright knows what he has to do and he will likely succeed.

Dozens of JROTC cadets and active duty service members hit the gridiron for their 5th annual Army Navy flag football game. The game follows a 113-year tradition of the Army and Navy schools battle it out on national television.
Saturday morning soldiers and sailors fought for their teams, not in the war fields, but on the Engineers Field at Fort Gordon. Soldiers say it's an opportunity to take their mind off combat.
"This is amazing it takes your mind away from it," said Sgt 1st Class Paul Joseph, a player for the Army team. "It's kind of an escape from it and we love it."
The players are also fighting for something else:
"It's very important to both the students and
active duty, because it's bragging rights for the entire year," said Vincent Krajico, Community Relations Coordinator for Fort Gordon's Navy.

CATEGORIES MoviesLast month, New Yorker critic David Denby published his review of 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' one week before the embargo date. This drew drew the ire of both the studio and director David Fincher, creating a terse back-and-forth between Denby and 'Tattoo' producer, Scott Rudin. However, caught in the crossfire of this film critic hullabaloo was poor old Cameron Crowe's new movie, 'We Bought a Zoo.'
In one of the emails to Rudin, Denby defended his actions, complaining about the large number of movies coming out around Christmas. "What to put in the magazine on December 5? Certainly not 'We Bought the Zoo,' or whatever it's called," he said. Crowe and Damon later weighed in on Denby's dis themselves, with the director stating, "He should see the movie. I'm actually anxious for him to see the movie. ... It's a time filled with cynicism, and there's a lot of movies about that, and this one is a little bit about hope and a lack of cynicism." As for Damon, he directed his comments toward critics as a whole: "I think it probably takes more guts for a critic to admit that this movie gets to them than it will for them to bash it."
It turns out that Cameron and Matt were right! In the latest issue of the New Yorker, Denby compliments -- a bit backhandedly -- Crowe's script, and how "moving" it is. (Point to Damon.)
After his misadventures with 'Vanilla Sky' and 'Elizabethtown,' Crowe has recovered the sure commercial hand that he demonstrated in 'Jerry Maguire.' Nothing that happens in this movie is in the least surprising, but it's all quite pleasant and even, at times, moving. McKenna and Crowe have produced the kind of hardworking script in which everyone has a problem to overcome.
See, some movie critics can be (sort of) non-cynical. Denby even takes the time out to recognize the great romance in 'Zoo' and Damon's performance. (Another point to Damon.)
Along with Tom Hanks, [Damon] is one of the most likable actors in contemporary movies. It takes forever for Benjamin to notice that the pretty, down-to-earth woman with the keys is staring at him in a certain way. Crowe gives Johansson enough yearning closeups to ignite a pile of damp leaves, and, at last, Damon responds. There are so few examples in the movies of normal romantic behavior --once the heart of Hollywood filmmaking -- that the slow, hesitating, unremarkable but warming courtship of Damon and Johansson feels like a revelation.
Crowe and Damon for the win! And so ended the greatest headline-grabbing movie critic debate in the past year or so. You can read Denby's full review over on the New Yorker.

As the shock over Anderson Silva's unprofessional behavior in his middleweight title defense against Demian Maia the MMA community has started to turn it's attention to the other big news coming out of UFC 112: B.J. Penn losing his lightweight championship to Frankie Edgar.
As I watched the fight it felt that I was watching a surprisingly close fight but one that was still going in B.J. Penn's favor. So, when the official scorecards were read and I heard scores of 50-45, 49-46 and 48-47 all for Frankie Edgar, it was a shock. The 50-45 and 49-46 scorecards in particular stood out as it means that one judge scored all five rounds and one judge scored four of the five to Edgar.
Upon my initial viewing of the fight I found the first two rounds to be quite lopsided in favor of Penn. Edgar did a nice job of moving a lot and avoiding large firefight exchanges but wasn't landing much by way of meaningful strikes while getting hit with big counters by Penn and was losing every striking exchange that did take place. Repeated viewings of the fight left me even more confident that Penn won the first two rounds at the very least. The third round was closer but still a Penn round. In fact, the only round that Edgar clearly won in my eyes was the fifth and final round.
FightMetric (a much better system than compustrike for examining fights after the fact) released their report on the fight which broke down their "effectiveness score" for each round and how they would translate that into scoring the bout using the ten point must-system. Here's how it came out:
|10-9 Penn
|10-9 Penn
|10-9 Penn
|10-9 Edgar
49-47 Penn
Clearly Penn won rounds 1 and 2. There really can't be much debate of that. Assuming that one scored every round that was at least somewhat close for Edgar the most justifiable score one can come up with in his favor is 48-47 Edgar.
Douglas Crosby is the judge who handed over the Edgar shutout scorecard decided that he would go on The Underground and make rambling cryptic posts about zombie MMA fans surrounding his hotel and wondering if he had any reason to defend his scoring to fans. The tone and behavior came across as juvenile and insulting but eventually Crosby did offer some insight into how he could butcher the scoring so badly (pieced together from consecutive posts):
It is a Judge's obligation to interpret the fight and use the criteria as guidelines. But a fight is an observed event that does require interpretation, observation, wisdom. And, in my considered opinion, Edgar dictated the tone of the fight, successfully implemented and executed a strategy, landed better strikes, and basically outworked Penn. And that is an interpretation by a ringside observer with an understanding and appreciation of MMA, who has Judged numerous (hundreds) of fights.
Somewhat predictably Crosby does fall back on the ambiguous and undefinable idea of "ring generalship" or "Octagon control" as a defense. He references "dictating tone" and "executing strategy" and "outworking Penn" when you will not find ideas such as strategy execution or workrate in the scoring guidelines. The idea that Edgar landed better shots is also completely absurd in the context of the early portion of the bout. Doug even goes as far as to wrap his explanation up with a good ol' fashioned argument from authority by using the fact that he has scored many fights to imply that he has scored this (or any) fight correctly.
There is much concern for me over the idea that Crosby feels it is the judges responsibility to interpret strategy execution. For example, while Edgar was clearly working on the idea that he wanted to get in and out with speed and try to pick a few points up with quick punches, Penn was using a counter-striking style that was using the moments when Edgar came in to counter with much more powerful shots of his own. Looking at the information we have available from the fight it is very clear that Penn was much more effective in his implementation of this strategy for at least the first two rounds. Rather than scoring the action, Crosby makes it sound as though he was attempting to score the idea of gameplan implementation.
Add to this the idea of workrate. Crosby claims that Penn was simply "outworked" but there is no definition of what that truly means. I assume it means that Edgar was more active. But we do not score fights in favor of a wrestler who shoots and shoots and shoots and clinches but never gets a takedown while eating several punches on his way in despite the energy output being higher for that wrestler. Crosby here implies that he scored every round for Edgar based on the idea that he was "working more" but energy output is not a criteria on which a fight is scored. By this logic a patient counter-striker is always at a disadvantage to an attacking fighter when Crosby is scoring a fight.
I've always been a staunch defender of the ten point must way of scoring, but it only works when those in charge of scoring the bouts are not using their own on-the-fly criteria.
Finally, while Douglas Crosby has no obligation to the sport or fans to be in public defending his scoring of the bout, it would seem that he has an obligation to the promotions and athletic commissions that he works for to A) judge fights by established criteria and B) not go in public when fans disagree with his opinion and act so fractiously. The sport deserves better from the men in charge of deciding the outcome of it's most important events.

Al-Qurʾān القرآن
Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ (Arabic: سورة الإخلاص, The Fidelity), also known as Sūrat al-Tawḥīd (Arabic: سورة التوحيد, Monotheism) is the 112th Sura of the Qur'an. It is a short declaration of tawhid, God's absolute oneness, consisting of 4 ayat. Al-Ikhlas means "the purity" or "the refining".
It is disputed whether this is a Meccan or Madinan sura. The former seems more probable, particularly since it seems to have been alluded to by Bilal, who, when he was being tortured by his cruel master, is said to have repeated "Ahad, Ahad!" (unique, referring as here to Allah). It is reported from Ubayy ibn Ka'b that it was revealed after the polytheists asked "O Muhammad! Tell us the lineage of your Lord."

Say:Allah, the One and Only; [1] Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; [2] He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; [3] And there is none comparable unto Him. [4]
[Qur'an 112:1-4]
1. 1Say, "He is Allah (God), Ahad (Who is the Only One, the Unique One of Absolute Oneness, i.e., single and indivisible).
1. Surat Al-'Ikhlas: The Sincerity/Purification, i.e., the purification of faith – the surah's theme. It takes its name from the subject matter; for this reason, it is also called Surat at-Tawhid (Monotheism). Muhammad described this surah as being equivalent to one third of the Qur'an. (Narrated by al-Bukhari, Ahmad, Abu Dawud, Al-Nasa'i, at-Tirmidhi and Malik.)
2. Allah-us-Samad (the Eternal, Absolute, Independent, Perfect, the Everlasting Sovereign, the Self-Sufficient Master, the Ultimate Source for everything, the Uncaused Cause, the Transcendent of all, the Eternally Besought of all, the Eternal Refuge i.e., the one sought in times of difficulty and need, the one depended upon by all existence, Whom all creatures need, He neither eats nor drinks, Himself in no need of anything).

4. And there is none equivalent/comparable/similar to Him (He does not have a spouse)."
Detailed explanation of Bismillah[edit]
بِسْمِ اللّهِ الرَّحْمـَنِ الرَّحِيم
Say, In (or with) the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
Beginning is with Allah's personal name Ar'Reh'maan Who is The Fountain of Infinite Mercy. [Note: It should be remembered that it is not the written text/part/Ayah of سُورة [Chapter 112] and hence it is never numbered. For convenience of those readers who are already believers, this is traditionally printed since it is commanded in the Qur'an to read/recite with the Name of Sustainer Lord, The Creator]
Sura 112, al-Ikhlas (The Purity)[Quran 112:1], like all surat except for the ninth, begins with "In the name of God" (Bismillah), which is not part of any sura except al-Fatihah but is written before every sura except for Surah 9 and is not counted among the verses of a sura. It is printed before all surat except the ninth in all printed copies of the Qur'an (mushaf) since it is commanded in the Qur'an to say Bismillah whenever one reads or recites the Qur'an.
Hadith referring to al-Ikhlas[edit]
- Also see: Al-Falaq, Al-Nas, Al-Mu'awwidhatayn
According to a hadith, this sura is an especially important and honored part of the Quran:
- Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: A man heard another man reciting (in the prayers): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One." (112.1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was morning, he went to the Prophet and informed him about that as if he considered that the recitation of that Sura by itself was not enough. Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my life is, it is equal to one-third of the Quran."[4]
- Narrated Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibn Shihab that Humayd ibn Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf had told him that Surat al-Ikhlas (Sura 112) was equal to a third of the Qur'an, and that Surat al-Mulk (Sura 67) pleaded for its owner.[5]
- Narrated 'Aisha: The Prophet sent (an army unit) under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the prayers and would finish his recitation with (the Sura 112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "He is Allah, the One." ' (112.1) When they returned (from the battle), they mentioned that to the Prophet. He said (to them), "Ask him why he does so." They asked him and he said, "I do so because it mentions the qualities of the Beneficent and I love to recite it (in my prayer)." The Prophet; said (to them), "Tell him that Allah loves him"[6]
- Imam Malik bin Anas has said that `Ubayd bin Hunayn heard Abu Hurayrah speaking: "I was walking with the Prophet and we heard a man reciting "Say: He, God, is One" The God's Apostle said: "It is inevitable" I asked "what?": He responded: "Paradise."
- Abu Said has narrated that he heard the Prophet saying:"Isn't every one of you able to recite one third of the Quran during a night?" They thought it was very difficult, so they asked: "Who is able to do that, O Apostle of God?" He responded: "He is God, the One and Only is one third of the Qur'an."[7]
- Al-Bukhari reported from Amrah bint Abdur-Rahman, who used to stay in the apartment of Aishah radhi'Allahu 'anha, the wife of the Prophet, that Aishah said, "The Prophet sent a man as the commander of a war expedition and he used to lead his companions in prayer with recitation (of the Quran). And he would complete his recitation with the recitation, 'say He is Allah, One'. So when they returned, they mentioned that to the Prophet and he said, "Ask him why does he do that". So they asked him and he said, "Because it is the description of Ar-Rahman and I love to recite it". So the Prophet said, "Inform him that Allah the Most High Loves him." This is how Al-Bukhari recorded this hadith in his book of tawhid. Muslim and an-Nisai also recorded it.
- An authentic Hadith says 'Say [recite] (Qul Huw allaahu Ahad) [Suraatul Ikhlaas] and al-M aw 'idhatayn ( Suratul Falaq and Suratun Naas) three times in the morning and the evening; they will suffice you from everything.' [Narrated by At-Tirmidhi. And Muhammad Nasiruddin al-Albani authenticated it: 2829[8]
- Narrated Aisa: "Whenever thy Prophet went to bed every night, he used to cup his hands together and blow over it after reciting Surah al-Ikhlas, Surah al-Falaq and Surah an-Nas, and then rub his hands over whatever parts of his body he was able to rub, starting with his head, face and front of his body. He used to do that three times.[9][10]
- Imam Ahmad also recorded that Ibn 'Umar said, "I watched the Prophet twenty-four or twenty-five times reciting in the two Rak'ahs before the Morning prayer and the two Rak'ahs after the Sunset prayer, 'Say: "O Al-Kafirun!"' (Surah Al-Kafirun) and "Say: "He is Allah One."

Call to action buttons are used in web design to get visitors of the site to do something, to solicit an action. This could be to make a purchase, sign up to the site, or to learn more about the business. A call to action button should fit in with the theme and tone of the website.
Some factors to think about when designing call to action buttons include placement on the site, size of the button and colour of the button and typography. Call to action buttons need to be both visible and accessible in order for the visitor to click onto it. Buttons placed beneath the fold will generally not be seen so they need to be displayed in a prominent position. Whitespace is also an effective concept to use as it will draw the visitors eye as adjacent images are placed further apart.
You can see from the some of the examples below how a call to action button should look. They have been designed with the intention of getting the visitor to make a purchase in mind. A great call to action button should be visible and eye-catching yet not look out of the place with the rest of the elements on the page.

text: Can anyone see the Steelers keeping him on the 53 man roster? I like him...he is one big man. In the Detroit game I saw him run down a RB in the secondary and make a tackle, so he has some athletic ability. Personally, I think it's time Eason hits the road and keep the talented DL kids. I don't want to see this kid hit the waiver wires at all in an effort to get him on the practice squad...and I know he is not familiar with our schemes yet and it will take a year. Has anyone heard word on him from the coaches?

Three dimensions are good, four are better. Because the more realistic a simulation is, the greater the enthusiasm with which it is met. The 4D Simulator brings a breath of fresh air to product or company presentations, as well as in the world of entertainment. And that is quite literally true. The fourth dimension involved here stimulates a sensory organ other than our eyes, ears and nose, with which we nonetheless perceive our surroundings extremely intensively – the skin. With our skin, we feel the wind which blows into our faces when we travel at high speeds. The 4D Simulator means 3D motion plus wind as the fourth dimension experienced. This head wind effect makes the experience of simulations such as Formula 1 duels, speed boat racing, motorbike racing, skiing contests and innovative product presentations even more intense.
The appeal of the 2-seat simulator is heightened by the attractive futuristic design. Beneath the spherical carbon-fiber hood lies a range of equipment that offers all the possibilities of a modern simulator. The stereo loudspeakers pump out a powerful sound, a 20-inch flat screen guarantees vivid visual input, and the fan provides a stream of cool air for the head wind. Furthermore, the hood design also means that it is not necessary to darken the installation site.
Here too, safety has top priority. The TÜV-certified 4D Simulator is equipped with safety devices such as smoke alarm, temperature monitoring, camera and microphone. The operator can therefore keep a watchful eye on his passengers at all times. In the event of an emergency, the hood can be removed in an instant.
Since December 2007, the 4D Simulator has been enthralling new passengers every day in the French ski resort Les2Alpes. And how about you? The high-tech hood is available as a retrofit package for existing and new Robocoasters.

W-2s are being handed out and that means tax season is here. Students of the University of Notre Dame and Saint Mary's College are trying to make the process of doing your taxes a little bit easier. Volunteers from both schools were at the Spencer Gallery in the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library. They were offering free service for federal and state tax preparation.
"I can't afford and this is a big, big help having it done for free," Julie Kalus said who was waiting for her turn.
The service is offered to taxpayers who earned $40,000 or less in 2013. Unemployed taxpayers were also offered the service as long as they made $40,000 or less before collecting taxable unemployment benefits. Saint Mary's Assistant Professor in Accounting John Cergnul says this service is goes further than just being free.
"The Internal Revenue Code is about 10,000 pages long and there's probably 300 or 400 changes every year so it's very difficult to keep up," Cergnul said.
Registration began at 9:00a.m. and assistance was offered on a first come, first served-basis. The taxpayer would enter the room when their number was called and was directed to a group of students. The students are all accounting majors at Notre Dame or Saint Mary's. They have all taken semester of an individual income tax course as well as a special course from the Internal Revenue Service.
"The students are very well prepared," Cergnul said. "They're a little scared at first but they're pretty prepared to do these kinds of tax returns."
There were several people in attendance who have used this service repeatedly. One of those people was George Jarvis. "They did a good job," Jarvis said. "The price was right so I come the next year, the following year and here I am again."
There will be additional sessions held on March 29th, April 5th and 12th. All of these services will be held from 1:00-4:00p.m. at the Spencer Gallery.

Can anyone please explain to me why he's even on the team? He's an automatic out at the plate, and he has only one fewer error than Johnny Damon, despite having played in about 1/4 of the number of games Damon has. And it's not like he's some young kid struggling in their first chance in the bigs, he's 33 years old. Face it, the guy is not good enough to be on a major league roster, he needs to be sent back to the minors.
Pena is a good enough player to be a fill-in at third base if A-Rod needs a day off. We've just got to have someone else in the minors who is better than Ransom to use as a bench player, he can't play at this level.

A Dallas grandmother is recovering from a purse snatching that sent her to the hospital.
Maria Ramos has two black eyes, with one noticeably worse than the other.
The 72-year-old was robbed at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday in front of the Family Dollar store in the 1300 block of Greenville Avenue.
She said a man pushed her from behind when she was just a few steps from the door. After she was on the ground he started pulling at her purse.
"I'm scared. Scared right now too," she said.
"If they can do this to her, they can do this to anybody," added Olivia Jules, her granddaughter.
A witness saw the man running away with Ramos' purse. She had only $20 in it.
There is surveillance video of the crime but police haven't gotten it from the store yet.

Back to joys of following Karl Dorrell football. One of the main themes heading into the Washington game is the ineffectiveness of our ground attack. Remember all the bragging about our running attack after that 270+ yard performance against D-1 powerhouse Rice? Well it's all gone. Players are still trying to find answers. The OL coach Jim Colletto blamed the inexperienced QBs for the ineffective ground attack earlier in the week. He still doesn't seem to have any good solutions for cranking up our ground attack:
The strength of the Bruins offensive line was expected to be run blocking, but that has not been the case.
The Bruins rank eighth in the Pacific 10 Conference, averaging 126.9 yards rushing and 3.7 yards a carry. And in last week's 20-17 loss at Notre Dame, UCLA hit rock bottom with a season-low 26 yards rushing.
"The mechanics have to improve, our execution has to improve, the technique at the point of attack needs to improve," said Colletto, rattling off UCLA's offensive line to-do list. "At times we get things right and we look real good. Then there are times when we go to sleep."
UCLA ran well against Rice (277 yards) and Stanford (175 and two touchdowns), and had good stretches against Washington and Oregon. But there have been way too many times when they haven't, according to Colletto.
"We may have given them too many running plays, maybe too much information," he said. "... I have to do a better job of not overloading them."
After strong rushing performances at the beginning of the season, the Bruins had difficulty running against Arizona (22 carries, 65 yards), Oregon (30-104), and Notre Dame (28-26), averaging 2.4 yards per attempt.
The dry spell pushed UCLA to eighth in the Pacific-10 Conference in rushing at 126.9 yards per game, and the Bruins' five rushing touchdowns is tied for eighth.
"For some reason, when we play teams, the box is filled," UCLA offensive guard Shannon Tevaga said. "We game plan nine (defenders) in the box. When the run game wasn't working, we were frustrated by that. (Markey) didn't have anywhere to run against (Notre Dame)."
Anyways, we will not go back to the ND game and stop being a meanie to KD. We will take him at his word when he says this:
Once again, it's time for KD to back up all the talk of "growing" and "learning" by showing some positive results on the field. He seems to keep coming up short every weekend. Because as far as W-L record against good teams goes, KD has come up with a big fat "zero" this season. That's right, he is 0-3 against teams with winning record in 2006. So if the team is "locked in" we expect a big win against a winning team at the Rose Bowl.

Taken by surprise, most of us were not ready for the Panda mistakes that Google found on our website, causing an uproar around the world. Like they have done before, Google brought devastation to the incomes of many good people trying to make a living online. Sadly, sympathy was very scarce for those that were hit the hardest. In reality, the people that suffered the most had the worst quality websites on the Internet. That is the target for Google in the past year, and it seems they are finally getting around to taking serious action.
Anyone that does internal linking to us how important it is to website ranking. It is something that is, unfortunately, little understood by most people. Most of the time you will see things about how to do it and what tools you can use. You can find quite a bit of information, actually, and how to do this and structure it properly. Having the proper internal linking structure will reduce your bounce rate exponentially. You will keep people on your site much longer, as long as you are internally linking to relevant content pages. People must have a reason to click on the links, following it to related content. If you don't give them a reason to click, they won't go. If you have a great bounce rate, then Google will reward you for a job well done.
Google will not reward you for your bad judgment in purchasing backlinks for SEO purposes. If you want to buy backlinks, be careful, as Panda and Google are not happy with people that do this. The Internet is full of high PR backlinks that you can purchase to drive traffic back your website. If you do this, however, you're taking a serious risk by doing this. Any website that sells their services or backlinks is well known on the Internet. Well, Google is not dumb and they are watching what is going on. Be careful! Any links that you buy the goods your website can be traced back to its original source.
You can find businesses in certain situations in which they have content that is very close to being on site duplicate content. Your rankings can suffer greatly if you have this type of content on your website and Panda takes notice. If you want to rank locally, some of your content might seem to be duplicate. This could really hurt your off-line business rankings on the Internet. Your pages and URLs look identical simply because only a few words are changed each time. You have seen this because it is all over the place and millions of sites have done this. If you want to fix this problem, assuming that you have it, significantly altering the content is the way to fix this. When it comes to the latest update, this will help you avoid any penalties.
In conclusion, coping with the changes that Google makes quite regularly can be irritating at best. Panda-related mistakes are very easy to make. Plus you have to keep in mind that Google will penalize your entire site for mistakes on just a few pages.
Just put your head down, and move forward, regardless of the changes that Google makes.
