text: Being a metal fan from the 80's, the transition to the new era has not been easy. I love Stratovarius and I also like Michael Kiske and Tobi Sammet vocals. I liked the material a lot! Newcomers may not like it at all, but even the other vocalist makes a very good job. I still wanted to hear more riffs, I hope Tolki works on this next time. The material sounds better than last CD from Stratovarius. If you are a heavy metal fan, the material won't dissapoint you!

text: For Catholics, Tuesday was more than just New Year's Day. It is also a holy day of obligation.Bishop Michael Mulvey celebrated the Feast of Mary Mother of God at St. Peter's Church in Rockport Tuesday morning. As part of the service, a special statue was blessed."So we dedicated this statue, which has been moved here to the property to remind us that we have a mother that brought us Jesus Christ, who is the prince of peace," Mulvey said. "And so we proclaim her Mother of God and Mother of Peace. So especially today, I've invited the people and the whole diocese to allow this to be a year of peace, and that we all be peacemakers."Tuesday also happens to be World Day of Peace for the Catholic church.

Easy Street Records closing Lower Queen Anne branchPosted 3 January, 2013 in Seattle Jazz - Comments Off comments
from The Seattle Times:
Easy Street Records, a mainstay of Seattle's thriving popular music scene and one of the few record stores left in the city, is closing its Lower Queen Anne branch.
"They wanted a long-term lease," said store owner Matt Vaughan of his landlord, Diamond Parking. "The rent that was being asked was significantly higher."
Vaughan declined to say what the rent was or by what percentage it would go up. But for each of the past two years, the store has signed a one-year lease at a rent he says the store could afford. A new tenant — Chase Bank — agreed to the new terms. Easy Street's last day of operation at its 20 Mercer Street location will be Jan. 18.
Easy Street has been on Queen Anne for 12 years. Its other store, which remains in West Seattle, has been there since 1988.
Vaughan said the Queen Anne store did good business in 2012 but that it could not absorb a rent increase.
"What's happened to South Lake Union has impacted real estate in the surrounding area," he said. "There's a commercial real-estate boom happening here in Seattle and for guys like myself it becomes too difficult to consider being in locations like the one I have here."

Mannone moves from Arsenal to Sunderland
Sunderland have confirmed that they have signed Arsenal goalkeeper Vito Mannone.
The 25-year-old Italian has penned a two-year deal on Wearside and has joined up with his new team-mates ahead of this weekend's trip to Italy.

He made his debut at the age of 21 and represented the Gunners in the Barclays Premier League and UEFA Champions League, making 15 appearances in all.
The former Italian U21 international also spent time on loan at Barnsley in 2006, making four appearances for the Tykes.
He also had two spells at Hull, playing 11 games in the 2010-11 season plus a further 23 during the following campaign.

text: It's been such an amazing adventure watching our baby houseguest, Nouri, grow up before our eyes. I know he's only been here for about 2 1/2 months, but that's a lot in baby years! I feel like he gets a little bigger everyday and I'm hoping that any second now, he'll take his first step or say his first real word (German or english). I feel like he's become really accustomed to Chris and I (and our cool iPhones) and I think that's pretty special. You learn a lot by living with people but living with people and their baby has been a huge and positive learning experience. Can't wait to have our own some day! Until then, I'm working on Nouri's first word to be "California". Or "Jamie is the best" will do.

Top Radio Queens Sheila Mwanyigah And Ciku Muiruri Badly Dissed By Blogger
A blogger going by the name Kraziest Kenyan has hit out at radio celebrities Sheila Mwanyigah and Ciku Muiruri using them as examples of women a man should not marry.
He insinuates in his article that the reason why Sheila Mwanyigah has never gotten married despite having been 'the rave' in her 20s is because she is among those women who thought "their looks would count for something". He claims that Ciku is "a single, lonely, soon to be grandma who's bitter coz she can't find a man dumb enough to be step father to her daughter".
Here are some excerpts from his piece dubbed 'WIFE MATERIAL STANDARDS';
"There are only three queries that won't generate search results on Google… The exact day of Jesus' second coming, answers to your prayers and lastly, Sheila Mwanyigha's age. Now, lemmi tell y'all something about Sheila… When I was a boy our Sunday School teacher told us that Moses parted the Red Sea, and I swore to myself that my only mission in life would be to part Sheila Mwanyigha's legs, and if that happened I'd have done my duty on Earth.. Yep, she was hot like that! Getting a husband wouldn't have been a hustle for her, but she never made it past engaged. We'll see why shortly… Sheila is not the only bad bitch approaching menopause without a husband.. If you look around you'll notice that most of the single ladies over 30 were the baddest bitches in their 20s. They form the bulk of bitter single mums who thought their looks would count for something but still reeling with shock coz the only thing their phat asses got them were huge dicks, not wedding bands n'shit.
Most of the bad bitches can't come up with three reasons a nigga should be with them outside of their looks and pussy. But their looks and pussy get old quicker coz that's all they got to offer! These pretty women think they don't have to do shit but look pretty… That might be cool for like a weekend but what are we gonna eat, bitch? If you can't do dishes coz you don't want to touch dirt, then being a bridesmaid is the closest you'll ever get to a marriage."
"Y'all know Ciku Muiruri, right? Call it ill luck.. Or call it the occupational hazards of the whoring profession, the fact is, she had a little accident learning to ride dick almost twenty years ago and the instructor vanished soon after the fact. I bet she didn't imagine her product of sin would haunt her for a lifetime. She's a single, lonely, soon to be grandma who's bitter coz she can't find a man dumb enough to be step father to her daughter. She vents her frustrations by collectively insulting Kenyan men as broke and with short dicks. Lord ha'mercy on this hoe! Everybody knows she lost her smile coz the Artur's ripped apart her a*se hole!"
Well, we know nothing about the men in the two divas lives though Ciku did mention recently that she was giving up her man for 40 days during this lent period.

Correlation is a term that refers to the strength of a relationship between two variables. A strong, or high, correlation means that two or more variables have a strong relationship with each other while a weak, or low, correlation means that the variables are hardly related. Correlation coefficients can range from -1.00 to +1.00. The value of -1.00 represents a perfect negative correlation while a value of +1.00 represents a perfect positive correlation. A value of 0.00 means that there is no relationship between the variables being tested.
The most widely used type of correlation coefficient is the Pearson r, which is also referred to as linear or product-moment correlation. This analysis assumes that the two variables being analyzed are measured on at least interval scales. The coefficient is calculated by taking the covariance of the two variables and dividing it by the product of their standard deviations.
Interpreting The Correlation Coefficient
A value of +1.00 implies that the relationship between variables X and Y is perfectly linear, with all data points lying on a line for which Y increases and X increases. Conversely, a negative value of implies that all data points lie on a line for which Y decreases as X increases.
For example, let's suppose we were looking at variables age and income. If the correlation coefficient was +0.80, this means that as age increases, income increases as well.

Valentine politely returned the greeting and went back to his meal. After he finished, Valentine walked over and asked what he was doing in the area.
"I just got called up," answered the young man.
It was then that Valentine realized that he was speaking to the newest member of his team, Marco Scutaro.
The Mets recalled Scutaro from Triple-A Norfolk on Friday to replace Joe McEwing, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Sunday, with a strained left rib cage.
McEwing said that the injury occured on Monday while taking some swings during batting practice.
"It's frustrating because you don't know how much you appreciate (the oblique muscle) because you use it in every baseball move you do," McEwing said. "Usually you have a timetable, but it's just one of those things that's day-to-day. Hopefully it'll get better."
McEwing said that he should be able to swing in a couple of days and that he has already begun to feel better. He anticipated coming off the disabled list as soon as he is eligible.
Scutaro, 26, began the season with in Milwaukee's system, but was waived when the Brewers needed to make room for Nelson Figueroa. The Mets claimed Scutaro on April 5 and he has spent the season with the Tides.
"(Milwaukee) needed to make a move. It's a business," said Scutaro, who admitted that he was a little surprised to be placed on waivers.
In 79 games, Scutaro batted .336 with 20 doubles, seven home runs, 25 RBIs and 39 runs scored. The right-handed hitting infielder represented Norfolk in the Triple-A All-Star Game held in early July.
Cinergy Field memories
Prior to Friday's game against the Reds, Valentine reflected on some of his memories from Cinergy Field. The 32-year-old stadium will be torn down at the end of the season as the Reds move into Great American Ball Park in 2003.
In 1971, Valentine, who was playing for the Dodgers, doubled against Don Gullett, the Reds' current pitching coach for his first Major League hit. He also mentioned the 1999 one-game Wild Card playoff between New York and Cincinnati, which the Mets won.
"I also coached here (in 1993), which wasn't a real fond memory, but the people were great," said Valentine, who was then a member of Davey Johnson's staff.
Out of his hands
Rookie Mike Bacsik has done nothing to warrant a return ticket to Triple-A, but there is a good possibility that is what he'll get when Steve Trachsel comes off the DL for his start on Monday. Bacsik is scheduled to pitch on Saturday against the Reds.
In two starts, Bacsik is 2-0 with a 3.21 ERA. In his last outing, he fired a complete game in New York's 8-3 win over Florida on Monday. There is a possiblity that Bacsik will be kept in the rotation, replacing either Jeff D'Amico or Shawn Estes, both of whom have struggled over the last month.
"It's not up to me, but if they decide to keep me up here, that's great," Bacsik said.
Being demoted would be a disappointment, but Bacsik said that he would understand the reasoning.
Blazing start
In his second Triple-A start, Aaron Heilman, the Mets first-round draft pick last year, pitched six innings on Thursday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks. Norfolk defeated Ottawa in 10 innings, 3-2, but Heilman did not figure in the decision.
The 6-foot-5 right-hander is 1-0 with a 0.64 ERA with the Tides. He has allowed one run on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts.

Figured I would post a little update on this lathe since I got and contribute a little to this awesome forum.
Bought from Enco just a couple of weeks ago. Lathe shows to be made 2011 - 7 (guessing July). Not bad, huh?
I bought the stand which turns out was a huge waste of money. I've emailed them to see if I can return it but still waiting to hear back from them. Its made out of just thick sheet metal, spot welded. The top is super thin to support the weight of the lathe. The biggest problem is with the fit to the chip tray. The tray sits on its edges when on top of the stands. The center portion where the lathe actuallly gets bolted through is about 1/2" above the top of the stands. If i were to put the lathe on it as it came, it would surely crush that sheet metal tray to the top of the stand. I placed three washers between the tray and the stands to fill the void which allowed me to bolt it "securely". The top of the stands are so thin that the lathe bounces when turned on and off. I'm really disappointed in the stand. You guys with the same lathe or the Vectrax model, what did you do for a stand? Any ideas or pics would be great.
Here's a pic of the lathe as it sits now:
Also, to help some of you with the same lathe, I scanned the manaul/parts list into a PDF. Its big and not very good quality but it works. I'll try to get it a better more efficient copy at work some time. We have much better equipment and software for that.
A little over 27MB. I've got it hosted on my site for now but I may move it later if the traffic gets out of hand.
Thanks guys!

BU Freshmen provide for exciting future
12/12/2013 (Updated 10:57:37 PM)Last year, the America East Rookie of the Week Award might as well have been named the "Jordan Reed Award," as the then BU freshmen seemed to take home the honor on a regular basis. Now a sophomore, Reed collected his second Conference Player of the Week Award this week.
Meanwhile, freshmen Marlon Beck took home the Conference Rookie of the Week for his play in the win over Mount Saint Mary's and the loss to Syracuse. Beck averaged 16.5 points in those two games. He is the third BU freshmen to earn the award this season, joining Nick Madray and Magnus Richards.
Tommy Dempsey said Yosef Yacob has been the recipient of some good-natured banter in the locker room about when he's going to earn his Rookie of the Week.
To hear Dempsey's full comments tune into Fox 40 News at Ten on Sunday for our second episode of The Bearcat Breakdown.

No one should be surprised at the Seattle Sounders' official revealing of their new third kit. Photos were first leaked a couple weeks ago and no one from the team bothered to deny their legitimacy. Really, the only "news" in Friday's release was the name of this color: "Super Cyan."
It's an audacious name for an audacious choice, but is hardly shocking. The Sounders entered the league with an outrageous color scheme and have continued to push the envelope of taste basically every year. After opening with a lime green color they called "Rave Green" and following that up with a yellow kit they called "Electricity," this is merely a continuation of that theme.
The reaction from around the league has been entirely predictable. Almost no one outside of the Sounders fanbase seems to like it at all. Heck, even Sounders fans are pretty well split on whether this is an acceptable move or one that makes them want to hide their heads in shame.
But let's be honest: This is exactly what the Sounders wanted. People are talking about these jerseys. The good news is that they apparently heard the criticisms of the straps on last year's kit and got rid of those. Whether or not the collar will prove popular is another issue.
The color really doesn't seem so bad. Blue is at least part of the team's established palette, even if it is an entirely different shade of blue, and this overall design does seem to be a slight nod to the NASL-era Sounders.
Love them or hate them, though, people are going to pay attention to these jerseys. While a classy white jersey may have appeased a certain segment of fans, there would have been very limited appeal beyond the Sounders fan base. And let's be honest, you don't release a third kit just to sell a few extra jerseys. You do it to grab the public's attention, which is exactly what the Sounders have done.

Hi and welcome, I'm Justyn Dagg a level designer with industry experience based in the UK.
With a deep passion for game development. Level design is the discipline I gravitate to.
Commercially my work is creditied with multiple noteable titles including Rising Storm and Killing Floor.
I understand Industry standards, areas like technical art and level optimizations, but most importantly I understand design and gameplay.
Over my time I feel I've gained a good understanding of level design, from what is required technically to produce levels that are environmentally fun, balanced and challenging.
My tool of choice is Unreal Engine from 2.5 to the latest versions of UDK and its intergrated toolsets. I would class my skill level with Unreal as advanced. Keen to develop this into Unreal Engine 4.
In the past I have used to a lesser degree several other engines like Unity, Hammer, Radiant and CryEngine3 to create playable levels. I am quick to grasp new tools and enjoy the personal challange they bring me.
Other areas to be noted are my awareness and familiarity with management tools and techniques such as SVN, VPN, P4 and JIRA. All of which I have used extensively over the last few years. To accompany this I am compotent in MAYA and Photoshop understanding the principles of mesh creation, texturing, uv layouts, collision and lightmaps allowing me to either create shelling meshes for proof of concept or game ready art.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio. justyn@leveldesigner dot co dot uk

Charming house with great outdoor space
Date of stay May 18-20, 2014 Our first stay at Cooksville Farmhouse and more amazing than anything we could have planned or hoped for. We had a houseful of guests on our first Monday and the gameroom, living space and beautiful land was bth entertaining and extremely intimate. The dinner set up in the barn was perfect and we would definitely suggest transforming the space into a temporary dining area! The weather this time of year this year was serene - sunny all day on Tuesday - and we spent most of our time out back which is just what we needed. Great to meet the two of you and see your beautiful home. It made our stay all the more wonderful. Thanks for everything and hope to see you again sometime. Good luck with the alligators. Perhaps a little too warm in the upstairs bedroom with all of the storm windows. Bob and Martha were very accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we had a wonderful time. The back open space was wonderful for walks and enjoying the open space.
Great Stay - Wonderful Owners
Thanks to Janet and Randy for the weekend rental. My friends and I were in town for the Penn State - Wisconsin football game and had a blast. The house was perfect - spacious and accommodating. Everything we needed (towels, toilet paper, dishes, plates, etc) were provided and the keyless entry (keypad on door) made it really easy for the 6 of us to get in and out without worrying about keys. House is located very close to State St. Janet was a pleasure to correspond with. Would highly recommend Janet and Randy's rental property for those looking to stay in Madison and don't want a hotel.

A classmate of his explicitly saw this coming.
The Washington Post publishes an email from community college classmate Lynda Sorenson:
"We have a mentally unstable person in the class that scares the living crap out of me. He is one of those whose picture you see on the news, after he has come into class with an automatic weapon. Everyone interviewed would say, Yeah, he was in my math class and he was really weird. I sit by the door with my purse handy. If you see it on the news one night, know that I got out fast..."
Meanwhile, he also had a weird shrine in his backyard with a skull.

The Dig is your best UTEP and C-USA Round-Up.
Coach Mike Price, Braxton Amy, and Andre Patterson on UTEP's First Day of Training Camp. Among the highlights, Braxton Amy is returning punts, for the first time in his career. Coach Price says UTEP doesn't have starting linebackers set yet, so we'll see how the battles involving Isiah Carter, Jamie Irving, Jeremy Springer, and Anthony Morrow. Braxton Amy: "This might be my favorite defensive set I've had since I've been here." Also, towards the end, new Miner kicker and punter Dakota Warren and new QB Javia Hall field some questions.
With Trevor Vittatoe a senior and non-scholarship player Carson Meger looking like the likely #2 quarterback for the Miners, it's essential that Mike Price add another quarterback to the 2011 class. We do have Javia Hall coming in August to provide some breathing room. Excerpt: "Keeton had 24 total touchdowns and had nearly 2400 yards of offense. This summer, Keeton looks to make stops by TCU, Rice, Air Force, UTEP and Tulane for camps."

Commonplace book is defined as a book of literary passages, quotations and occasional thoughts. Many people keep such a journal that they use to record favorite passages from the books they are reading. Here are some of our favorites. Please send us your favorite book passages and we'll consider adding them to the page.
From The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly:
"Ahhh. Bed, book, kitten, sandwich. All one needed in life, really."
From Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling:
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." –Albus Dumbledore
From Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak:
"And now," cried Max, "let the wild rumpus start!"
From Behind the Curtain by Peter Abrahams:
Ingrid popped some waffles into the toaster, mixed up a nice blend of maple syrup and melted butter for filling up those tiny waffle squares. Waffles were a brilliant invention. She whipped up some hot cocoa to go with them.
Eating happily away in the breakfast nook, light rain fogging up those lovely windows on three sides, Ingrid made a mental list of great inventions, the ones that changed the world. Waffles, for sure. Pillows. Snow days. Gift wrapping. Theater curt–
From Wizards of the Game by David Lubar:
I stayed on the computer until I got booted off. Not by a power surge, but the old-fashioned way–by Mom pointing out it was time for bed.
"You have school tomorrow," she reminded me, as if there was a kid on the planet who didn't know when Monday was about to pounce. You could almost feel it creeping around the globe on Sunday evening, devouring Europe and then swimming eagerly west."
From The Winter Room by Gary Paulsen:
If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers, who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the the rest that can't be in books.
The book needs you.
From The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman:
Maybe sometimes we don't do the right thing because the wrong thing looks more dangerous, and we don't want to look scared, so we go and do the wrong thing just because it's dangerous. We're more concerned with not looking scared than with judging right. It's very hard.
From The House at Pooh Corner by A. A. Milne:
Although eating honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

This was the perfect place for our family to relax. The hotel provided a wonderful babysitter and our daughter was dissappointed when we hadn't booked her for the third day of our stay. They have a nice spa area where my husband and I could relax. The pool set up was great for our 6 year old. The food is well worth a special dinner. The resort is very kid friendly. - Lynda

9th GRADE HOUSING
The 9th Grade Academy was implemented for the 2008-2009 school year. As part of this academy each 9th grader is assigned to a specific team which is color coded. When you receive your child's schedule it will indicate which team they have been assigned. Teachers and guidance counselors have been assigned to specific 9th grade teams and will have the opportunity to meet as a team to coordinate curriculum and identify any areas of concern both academically, socially and emotionally. This time can also be used to meet with parents to address areas of concern. I am very excited to have the opportunity to work with students, parents and teachers within this setting.
Please feel free to contact me regarding your child at any time at 298- 5100, ext. 31106.


text: The Portland Timber's centerbacks have been dropping like flies throughout 2013. Unfortunately for Caleb Porter and the Timber's coaching staff, the MLS regular season is not FIFA 13, where you can just simply turn off injuries in the Settings mode. But those crucial injuries, happen been a blessing as well as a curse. AJB has vastly improved throughout the year, even with occasional mental lapses. Futty, who some people had put him behind DTG in the depth chart, has been arguably the most consistent CB all year. And then there's Kah, who has his inconsistencies, but always leaves everything he's got on the field( unless he's playing in Ohio of course). As we wind downs playoff time, Caleb Porter begins to start having a conundrum. Barring a miraculous failure, the Timber's would need to decide who two start in front of Ricketts.

Telling Your Story
This past weekend, Weber Shandwick's Minneapolis office hosted our 18th annual Telling Your Story workshop for nonprofits.
More than 40 organizations joined the seminar – with participants coming from across the Midwest. They met with Weber Shandwick colleagues to discuss their communications challenges, and share ideas for engaging advocates via traditional and social media to help tell their organizations' stories.
Feel free to review the materials from this weekend's workshop. If you have questions or would like more information on the workshop, please contact Julie Hurbanis.
Telling Your Story Workbook 2010
Your voice on social media
Social Impact is attending Social Media Week in New York. We'll be sharing some insights from this conference here on this blog.
When an organization engages in conversation on social media sites, it is important to let the voice come from the individuals within the organization. That was the lesson today at Social Media Week.
As an example, Meebo CEO Seth Sternberg called out Best Buy's @Twelpforce team, in which tweeting Best Buy employees help customers and offer technology advice. (We work with Best Buy, although not on this project.) Rather than speak as "Best Buy The Electronics Retail Giant," each tweet comes from an individual within the company.
We all respond better to other people than to faceless voices. The lesson is that personal attention is what fosters more engagement in the social media space.
Tapping into your social graph
Social Impact is attending Social Media Week in New York. We'll be sharing some insights from this conference here on this blog.
For much of the last decade, foundations and nonprofits (like the rest of the online community) spent a lot of time thinking about search engine optimization – and for good reason. After all, a significant share of traffic to their sites comes from Google organic searches.
Now it's time to think about social graph optimization as well. A social graph is the online representation of our relationships and behaviors on the social Web. The idea here is to take stock of the fans of your social media channels and use the information about their common interests to increase your visibility in that space.
As you know, friends of your supporters/donors are more likely than the rest of the general public to become supporters/donors themselves. In order to motivate your fans to tell their own friends about the great work you're doing, it's important to get to know them. As for the data itself, there's plenty of it. In fact, according to several Social Media Week panelists today, there was more recorded data in 2009 than in the entire history of humankind.
Conference attendees heard today from Mark Ghuneim, founder of Trendrr, which is one of the services collecting social graph data – but in fact there are many other options depending on your needs. As always, let us know if we can help you in this area.
With social media, you get what you pay for
Social Impact is attending Social Media Week in New York. We'll be sharing some insights from this conference here on this blog.
A central theme of this conference has been the idea that when it comes to social media, you get what you pay for.
There is a common misconception that "social media is free." But as I mentioned yesterday, social media channels can offer far more visibility for a nonprofit than their own Web page, and resources should be shifted accordingly. A professional and sophisticated social media presence isn't something to rush into, nor is it something to hand off to an intern as an afterthought.
Meanwhile, there's a shared feeling at Social Media Week that the hot trends of 2010 will be applications involving augmented reality and location services. We'll be sure to keep an eye on these emerging tools as they develop.
Which gets more visibility — your Web site or Facebook fan page?
Social Impact is attending Social Media Week in New York. We'll be sharing some insights from this conference here on this blog.
News organizations and relief groups met yesterday for a discussion about the role of social media during and in the aftermath of the Haiti earthquake.
Jason Cone of Doctors Without Borders credited Twitter and Facebook with "helping us overcome obstacles on the ground." The organization's Facebook page quickly jumped from 70,000 fans before the earthquake to over 200,000 today. Cone pointed out that Facebook "has quickly outstripped the visibility we have on our own Web site."
The lesson for nonprofits is to give the same attention and resources (or more) to the content and functionality of their social media channels as they would their Web site, given that it often reaches far more people.
Social Media Week to feature advice for nonprofits and foundations
Hello from New York, which along with several other cities around the world is hosting the second-annual Social Media Week. Much of the week will focus on how nonprofits and foundations use social media to advance their brand building and advocacy goals, and we'll be sure to share some of the insights that come out of this conference.
At the opening session, GOOD Inc. co-founder Max Schorr talked about how the discussion over foundations and giving has changed over the last few years. "It's not just about philanthropy anymore," he said. "It's about culture engagement and being relevant."
Coinciding with the opening session today was the launch of the voting process of the Pepsi Refresh Project, which is a project that our team has helped to put together in which the beverage giant is giving away $20 million in grants in 2010. The effort has gotten a fair amount of media attention, and Beth Kanter featured a guest blog post today from Pepsi's global director of digital and social media. Pepsi is also partnering with Facebook for a live "Great Ideas Brainstorm" with Kevin Bacon and Demi Moore.
But is Facebook still the best way to reach young people? After all, didn't it lose its "cool" factor once everyone's parents started joining?
With Facebook's audience heading toward the 400 million mark, Facebook Vice President Fabio Freyre made clear that young people are still engaged on Facebook at high levels. We've never been stronger" with people aged 13-21, he said, adding: "They are not migrating away because their parents are on it."
And as it happens, a 14-year-old is in the lead in the voting right now for one of the Pepsi Refresh grants.

One of the local stations (KSTP channel 5) received a tip about 2 Vikings players throwing thrash in a dumpster at a construction type. Channel 5 sent a team to investigate and retrieved 3 bags of garbage from the dumpster.
In the bags of garbage was apparently stuff from the love boats. And they have a on Vikings letter head that has names & phone numbers of women, flights and arrival times, times for the women to be picked up.
In the bags was also other things, and from the just of the interview the have condoms and toys from the party.
KSTP (channel 5 twin cities) has turned this evidence over to the sheriffs department that is conducting the love boat investigation. There is apparently DNA samples from the material found.
KSTP contacted the women that were on the list of names, and has gotten one of them to talk in an interview. The reporter said that the person is very familiar to the vice squad of the city she is from, and she says that she is very well known to the top athletes around the country.
The reporter did not say anything about cameras in the interview I heard, but there was some cameras that had disappeared that belonged to the employees of Al & Alma's boat service.
KSTP is running the story tonight on their 10 O'clock news and a second part on another night.
How stupid are these players why the hell they did not burn this stuff someplace out in the boonies I do not understand.
This is going to get ugle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Five Cincinnati-area law enforcement agencies and The Enquirer are teaming up to help keep dangerous prescription medication from being misused, stolen or sold.
The Enquirer is purchasing prescription drug drop boxes for use by the Cincinnati Police Department, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office and police departments in Loveland, Norwood and Reading.
The secure boxes, placed in law enforcement offices, provide residents with a safe, convenient way to dispose of unneeded prescription drugs whenever the hosting office is open. Authorities will dispose of the drugs in a way that prevents abuse and keeps them out of water supplies or landfills.
Opioid drug misuse kills more Ohioans than traffic accidents and, experts have told The Enquirer, fuels the nation's worst-ever heroin epidemic, which is acute in many of our communities.
"We truly can save lives by getting these pills out of our homes," said Randy Essex, Enquirer senior editor/news. "This is among the easiest steps we all can take to fight this public health crisis."

St. Joseph County Metro Homicide confirmed Monday afternoon that two-year-old Isaac Dunner and four-year-old Dominick Wilk, both of New Carlisle, died of hyperthermia. Forensic pathologist Dr. Joseph Prahlow says exposure to excessive heat while trapped in the trunk of a car caused the boys' organs to shut down, resulting in their deaths.
St. Joseph County officials continue to investigate the boys' deaths. This week detectives will conduct more interviews including the mother of the boys.
Friday, police were called to a house in the 300 block of Ada Street. Police received a 911 call from the mother stating she found her two boys in the trunk of her car.
Two-year-old Isaac Dunner died at a local hospital on Friday. The four-year-old, Dominick Wilk, was listed in critical condition on Friday. Wilk died Saturday Morning, at the hospital.
The family released a statement through their church's pastor. "Our family is suffering greatly through this tragedy, and we are thankful for the support we have received from our family, friends, and community. We simply have no way to express our sorrow at the loss of Dominick and Isaac," read the statement. "We humbly ask for the prayers of our neighbors and community in the days ahead."
They want to let the public know how upset they are over the deaths. They also want to thank those emergency workers who came to help.

Once, Frederick's
advisers told him he could conquer a certain
city with the loss of only four or five men. "One
is too many," he replied, rejecting the
scheme. He had often said, "It is easy to take
a life but impossible to restore it." In the
38 years he ruled Saxony he had never warred
against any city or territory.
few events reveal the humanity of Frederick
the Wise better than his own day of death: May
5, 1525. Fortunately his private chaplain
George Spalatin was with him that day and
recorded it. Also present were his oldest son
Sebastian and Frederick's father confessor
Andreas Wagner from Herzberg. On a grim note
Dr. Heinrich Stromer von Auerbach, noted
physician of Leipzig, was also there, certain
proof that all intimates knew Frederick was
dying. That week Frederick had written his
brother Johann, "I become ever weaker. I have
in eight days had little rest, neither day nor
night. I am not able to pass water, I write
only tentatively, I may not eat, then I sleep
day before he died Frederick had teased
Spalatin, "You do well that you come to me;
one should visit sick people."
was a hard master, especially in his own
the morning of the day he died he summoned his
servants, among them many very young pages. He
said, "Dear little children, I ask you
for God's sake where I would have made you
angry, with words or with actions, you will
forgive me for God's sake . . . we
princes burden the poor people in all ways
and that is not good." As he spoke,
he began weeping. Soon everyone was crying.
"Don't cry for me, children," he said, "I see
that I will not be here much longer. Think
of me and pray to God for me."
that day Frederick dictated a new will to his
secretary Johann Veihel and Spalatin.
Frederick opened his heart in this last will.
"I leave 200 gulden to my God-given wife," he
said. He had never married her. To his
13-year-old daughter by his 'God-given wife'
he left 500 gulden. To his sons by her,
Sebastian and Fritz, he was even more
he said, "I
know no more."
After a while Spalatin asked him, "My
master, does the gracious Elector have
burdens?" "Nothing
but the pain," he
were his last words. He died between four and
five o'clock in the afternoon.

the Wise: Seen and Unseen Lives of Martin
Luther's Protector (Wild Centuries

In February 1493
Frederick the Wise was expelling Jews from
his realm in Saxony. Frederick wrote a
Christian bishop that the Jews caused
"pernicious trouble to your subjects and
ours, from which daily complaints are
carried to us". It could be no coincidence
that his brother Ernst, Archbishop of
Magdeburg, was also carrying out an
expulsion of Jews from his own rule in
Magdeburg. Archbishop Ernst's action
definitely seemed revenge over a great bone
of contention between Jews and certain
Christian elements at this time. The Jews
had been unwise to pointedly insist the
Hebrew of a passage in the book of Isaiah in
the Old Testament that Christians translated
"Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a
son..." was more correctly translated
"Behold, a young woman shall conceive and
bear a son...".
Veneration of Mary was not the
only cause. The status of Jews among
Christians had changed in the 13th
century. Before the change, the church
followed St. Augustine who argued the Jews
belonged in the Christian world, clearly
proved by the Holy Scriptures. In the 13th
century however the two dominant religious
orders, Dominicans and Franciscans, began to
attack the Talmud of the Jews. The Talmud
was post-biblical writing by rabbis, or
so-called rabbinical literature. The Talmud
in the eyes of Dominicans and Franciscans
had become the greatest influence among the
Jews. So the Jews, the two orders claimed,
had drifted from Mosaic Law. As a result,
the Jews were no more welcome in the
Christian world than Muslims and heretics.
In Frederick's youth and early
rule, literate people read fierce polemics
against Jews. The messages were incendiary:
The Jews murdered God. The Jews hated the
Christian church. The Jews wanted the wealth
of Christians, even their blood. This angry
undercurrent of anti-Semitism prevailed in
Dominicans and Franciscans. Before the
arrival of Martin Luther, Frederick the Wise
relied most of all on Franciscans for
spiritual guidance. Perhaps it was this
poisonous influence or perhaps his brother
Ernst prodded Frederick into it, but such a
harsh action of expelling the Jews did not
surprise contemporaries. And the expulsion
had a finality as each sovereign rushed into
confiscate the Jewish properties, often
vengefully renaming the vacated Jewish
Quarter (Judendorf) to something like the
Quarter of St. Mary (Mariendorf) as
Frederick's brother Ernst did.
[Source: Sam
Wellman, Frederick the Wise: Seen and
Unseen Lives of Martin Luther's Protector
(Wild Centuries Press, 2011), pp 54-56]
Beginning in 1493 Frederick
the Wise served Maximilian, the emperor of
the Holy Roman Empire. This required his
almost constant absence from his realm of
Saxony. One of his first duties was to
secretly arrange a marriage for Maximilian
with Bianca Maria Sforza of Milan.
Frederick was successful. By 1498
Frederick was Imperial Statthalter, next
in authority only to Maximilian. Frederick
also had the secret ambition of marrying
Maximilian's daughter Margaretha who
reached a marriageable age in 1495. She
was engaged to Charles, heir to the French
throne, but such arrangements with great
powers were always wobbly. In fact the
engagement was broken by the French.
Frederick however was not in Maximilian's
plan. In 1496 Maximilian married her to
Juan, only son of Queen Isabella I of
Castile and King Ferdinand II of Aragon
(the sponsors of Columbus).
Frederick however stayed loyal
to Maximilian, laboring intensively on
peace negotiations between the empire
and France. By 1498 Frederick learned
others in the inner circle of Maximilian
plotted against him, using every
opportunity to lessen his influence. He
also learned others in the circle had
also negotiated with France without his
knowledge. Emperor Maximilian,
distracted by his weakness for women and
by dozens of other indulgences, had
thoughtlessly allowed it to happen.
Frederick, now a 35-year-old bachelor,
quit the imperial circle. Abruptly he
and his brother Johann, also toiling for
Maximilian (in a military role),
returned to their realm in Saxony. Who
can know how much the development of
Saxony suffered from Frederick's
five-year imperial venture that failed?
Sam Wellman, Frederick the Wise:
Seen and Unseen Lives of Martin
Luther's Protector (Wild Centuries
Press, 2011), pp 69-95]
"You will see that the
pope will not like this," muttered
Frederick the Wise when he learned what
was actually in the 95 theses advanced
by Martin Luther in October 1517.
Frederick was in poor
health, overweight and troubled by
'stones' in his kidneys and bladder. He
was already unable to ride a horse. He
often had to be carried in a litter.
Occasionally he could not move at all.
Yet he fought ceaselessly for the next
seven years to fend off all attacks
against Luther. Martin Luther was under
constant threat of attack from no less
than three popes and two emperors.
Only once did
Frederick the Wise articulate in writing
his position:
There are
learned men in the universities who hold
that his [Luther's] teaching has not
been shown to be unjust, unchristian, or
heretical. The few who think so are
jealous of his attainments. If we
understood his doctrine to be impious or
untenable, we would not defend it. Our
whole purpose is to fulfill the office
of a Christian prince . . . As
for sending him to Rome or banishing
him, that we will do only after he has
been convicted of heresy. His offer to
debate and submit to the judgment of the
universities ought to be considered. He
should be shown in what respect he is a
heretic and not condemned in advance.
That was Frederick's
constant position in the 'Luther
Affair'. And as had been said about
Frederick the Wise in another trying
circumstance, as a Christian prince he
"stood like a wall" against the unjust.
Sam Wellman, Frederick
the Wise: Seen and Unseen Lives of
Martin Luther's Protector (Wild
Centuries Press, 2011), pp 181-254.]

Prepetition bad faith was a sufficient reason to dismiss a voluntarily filed Chapter 7 petition, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit held June 26 (Piazza v. Nueterra Healthcare Physical Therapy LLC (In re Piazza), 11th Cir., No. 12-12899, 6/26/13).
Under Section 707(a), a bankruptcy court may dismiss a petition "for cause." There is a circuit split over whether prepetition bad faith falls within the realm of the statute. The Eleventh Circuit said, "based on the ordinary meaning of the statutory language and relevant principles of statutory construction, the power to dismiss 'for cause' in § 707(a) includes the power to involuntarily dismiss a Chapter 7 case based on prepetition bad faith."
Craig Piazza filed a Chapter 7 petition to discharge business-related debts. Included in his petition was about $320,000 in unsecured debt. About half of that was a state judgment against Piazza that he owed to Nueterra Healthcare Physical Therapy LLC. He admitted that getting around the judgment "may well have been the motivating factor for filing bankruptcy."
Nueterra asked the bankruptcy court to dismiss Piazza's case under Section 707(a). Piazza responded that filing bankruptcy to avoid garnishment is common and not bad faith, and that because Nueterra's state court suit did not allege fraud, there was no bad faith.
The bankruptcy court granted Nueterra's motion to dismiss, saying that cause existed under Section 707(a) based on bad faith. The Eleventh Circuit affirmed.
Diving into the issue, the court here said that the Bankruptcy Code does not define "for cause." It also said that the three examples of cause listed in Section 707(a), which include unreasonable delay, nonpayment of fees, and the debtor's failure to file required information, "are illustrative, not exhaustive."
Perusing legal and nonlegal dictionaries, the court added that the ordinary meaning of cause is "authorizing dismissal when adequate or sufficient reason exists for such an action."
Considering that bankruptcy courts may sanction litigants for filing documents with "any improper purpose," and may take "any action … necessary or appropriate … to prevent an abuse of process," the court said that there is "no reason why prepetition bad faith should not constitute an adequate or sufficient reason for dismissal."
The court said that the specific examples of "cause" in Section 707(a) are not limiting, Piazza's reading of the statute goes against the meaning of "for cause" elsewhere in the Code, and it "runs counter to both the original understanding of ['for cause'] in § 707 as well as more than a century of federal bankruptcy law and policy."
Piazza argued that "for cause" in Chapter 7 differs from Chapters 11 and 13. He said that "for cause" in Section 1112(b), which requires plans to be proposed in "good faith," and in Section 1307(c), which requires reformation plans to be "proposed in good faith," should include bad faith because they "contemplate an ongoing relationship between the debtor and creditor."
The Ninth Circuit accepted this argument in Neary v. Padilla (In re Padilla), 222 F.3d 1184 (9th Cir. 2000)(12 BBLR 843, 9/14/00), but the Eleventh Circuit said that Marrama v. Citizens Bank of Massachusetts, 549 U.S. 365 (2007)(19 BBLR 167, 2/22/07), "made clear" that bad faith is pertinent in all chapters of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether a particular provision requires an explicit good faith filing.
The "absence of an ongoing post-petition relationship between the debtor and creditor in Chapter 7 does not in any way suggest a debtor's pre-petition bad faith can never provide 'cause' to dismiss," the court said.
The court rejected Piazza's argument that the general language in Section 707(a) is limited by more specific provisions, including some in Section 523(a)(19)(B)(i), which prohibits debtors from discharging any debt that results from any state judgment, and Section 727(a)(2)(A), which denies discharge if a debtor tries to "defraud a creditor" by transferring property before filing for bankruptcy protection.
Specific statutory provisions often do trump more general ones, but not if textual indications suggest otherwise, the court said. That is the case here, it said. "Both the specific terms of the provisions as well as the general design of the Bankruptcy Code show that neither § 523 nor § 727 precludes alternative remedies 'to prevent an abuse of process,' " it said.
Still not willing to give up, Piazza argued that because Congress amended Section 707(b) in 2005 to include the phrase "bad faith," it must have intended to exclude bad faith from Section 707(a). Section 707(b) requires courts to consider whether a debtor filed a petition in bad faith when determining whether granting relief will be an "abuse" of the bankruptcy laws.
"Piazza's reliance on the 'selective inclusion' presumption is misplaced, as Congress's inclusion of 'bad faith' in § 707(b) did not, by implication, transform § 707(a) into a safe haven for bad faith debtors," the court said. Neither the history, text, nor structure of the two statutes shows that the selective inclusion presumption applies, it said. It explained that inclusion of the bad-faith provision in subsection (b) was intended to correct abuses in the bankruptcy system, "not limit bankruptcy courts' ability to correct such abuses in non-consumer cases or 'plac[e] additional weapons in the hands of abusive debtors.' " It went on to say, "the text and structure of subsection (a) and (b) make clear that they are 'couched in very different terms.' "
The appeals court concluded that the bankruptcy court did not abuse its discretion by dismissing Piazza's petition based on its finding of prepetition bad faith. The lower court properly applied a totality-of-the-circumstances analysis, and its finding of bad faith was not clearly erroneous, it said.
Judge Stanley Marcus and Sixth Circuit Judge Eugene E. Siler, sitting by designation, joined the opinion.
Kevin C. Gleason, Hollywood, Fla., argued for Piazza. Christian A. Peterson, Olive & Associates, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., argued for Nueterra. Sean M. Cowley, Department of Justice, Detroit, argued for the United States as amicus curiae.

DETROIT (AP) - A Volkswagen Beetle stolen 40 years ago in Knoxville has been discovered in Detroit before a journey to Finland.
Federal agents making a routine check of the car's paperwork learned that the 1965 model was reported stolen in Knoxville in 1974.
Customs and Border Protection spokesman Ken Hammond says agents made the discovery Jan. 30. The white car was being shipped by rail to Canada from Detroit. Hammond won't identify the current owner but says the Michigan resident didn't know the Beetle was stolen decades ago.
Hammond says the Beetle was going to be restored in Finland. An engine was part of the shipment.
It's unclear what will happen to the seized car. A message seeking comment was left with Knoxville police.

There is a common mis-conception that Tiverton is a nice, pretty little market town that overlooks the moors. Don't trust the Devon tourist board: it's a heaving, grey pit of nothingness.
Margaret Drabble�s novel �The Witch of Exmoor" contains the following passage:
"He gets himself dropped off at a service station just beyond Taunton. Thence he gets a quick lift to Tiverton, where he spends the night in a room over a pub, and, in the morning, takes stock.
Tiverton is a dump. Will Paine is surprised. He had thought it would be a pretty, West Country market town, full of smiling county people and expensive shops, but it is hilly and grim. Most of the shops seem to be selling second rate, second hand clothing in aid of obscure charities. The population looks grey and elderly and idle. Will walks along a pedestrianized High Street, through a car park or two, round a market precinct where nothing is happening at all. There is nothing for him here. Where are all the wealthy folk of the soft rich south. Clearly they do not hang out in Tiverton. Will decides to move on."
