A McCracken County man is facing multiple drug charges after a drug bust Sunday night.
According to the McCracken County Sheriff's Department, around 9 p.m. deputies responded to a call about illegal drug activity at 5788 Metropolis Lake Road, apartment B.
According to a press release, a strong smell of marijuana was coming from inside the apartment.
Deputies asked a female about the smell and she said she knew nothing about it but that she shared the apartment with 20-year-old Chase Laster.
Marijuana and drug paraphernalia were found inside in plain view and Laster admitted that both were his.
Laster was arrested on drug and paraphernalia charges in addition to wanton endangerment because the drugs were within reach of two small children living in the apartment.

Our design from last year >
At work, often times there are projects that demand fresh concepts and at the same time has a short deadline. A designer could start designing with the graphic software to try to create a final version at one go, without reasoning why certain elements have been used like font face or a certain image/clipart on the design. The designer creates one design after another to know what works or not. This unorganized workflow sometimes put a lot of pressure on the designer and could lead to a creative block. Therefore, the output produced is not as expected and fail to satisfy the designer or the boss. In this scenario, designers should have some design process to accomplish the task in an organized and timely manner. The Design Process could be defined as "a linear sequence of events that has a starting and an end point. (Sometimes you have to go back a stage if new information comes to light. In certain cases you may only look at one or two stages)"*. This process is structured around ensuring the client gets the highest quality solution and service appropriate to their business, marketing or communication problem.
Let's consider one of our projects, The Therap Rap animated video, as an example of how we have applied a design process during its development. The rap video informs about Therap and it's significant modules.
Here are the steps that have/had been followed:
1. Define the problem/understand the requirement. You would only be able to come up with solutions if you could clearly define the problem. It is important that we gather sufficient information about the project and know the main objective. As for this rap video, our main goal was to create something fun for our customers and to see if we could have the video go viral. Something that would inspire the user to spread this over facebook, youtube etc. Other requirements was to make it 2D animation, create a cartoons of Jeremy, the rapper, our CEO, Richard Robbins, and Anna Keith, National Director of Business Development. We also incorporated, Therap's virtual trainer T-girl and made her do few break dance steps.
2. Researching. This involves looking for existing solutions for such projects or getting inspirations by looking at others work. So we went through few jibjab style videos to see how their message has been conveyed through funny ideas. We also checked out lot of break dance videos to get some steps for T-girl.
3. Brainstorming. After getting inspirations we sat together to brainstorm how we want the video to come out. We went thru the lyrics of the song and examined how or what best ways could be used to present the ideas thru animation.
4. Storyboarding. While brainstorming we came up with lots of ideas and we sketched them out. After determining the final concept we started with storyboards for each stage of animation. We divided the lyrics into slides. We sketched the placements of graphics/objects for each slides. We also determined how the animation transitions would be.
5. Execution. In this stage we start with the graphic software and begin creating the stuff.
6. Feedback and Modifications. While developing, portions of the animation were reviewed by our marketing team and necessary changes were made.
7. Final output. Check it out!
This video was moderately successful, since it was done in 2009 and during that time, we had only few facebook friends and youtube followers. In 2012, we will try our hand at making a viral video one more time.
Though not mandatory, it is recommended to follow some rules when designing. The practice of having some approaches would help us simplify our workflow and let us spend more time being creative.
Instead of designing subconsciously, let us design consciously and be able to explain every element used in the design. It would not only help us achieve the goal of the design but also improve the quality of the design. A design process will save a lot of time and energy and most importantly help the designer produce more samples for revision in a short time. A good plan would also elevate company's branding value in terms of stability and reliability. As for personal growth, designer should not just sit in front of the computer to generate ideas rather go out in the environment to get some inspiration. They may also revisit old works once in a while and think of other alternative solutions to improve it.

City View Trail Great and Getting Better
After numerous trail days and hundreds of volunteer hours, the new City View Trail at Low Gap Park is an established community asset. Trail building began last year with design and layout by UVTG, with Ukiah City and community input and support, plus a grant that allowed us to hire a small dozer to rough out the trail. Spirited community volunteers, including California Conservation Corp members, hiked untold miles while carrying chainsaws, shovels, Pulaskis, McLeods, posthole diggers, pruners and other hand tools to move soil, rocks and overhanging branches, smoothing out the trail bed, digging in culverts and rock drains, building small bridges, stairways and a bench. Also muscled up the trail were a hundred sacks of concrete, culverts, railroad ties, concrete blocks and wood.
The trail has gone through a winter of significant rains, and has held up very well. Final touches for this year include removal of invasive vegetation and replacement with native grasses, a cautionary barrier to protect fragile habitat, a short footbridge and improvements to drainage patterns.
Please come and enjoy this Ukiah Valley gem.
City View Trail Project
City View Trail 90% Complete - Our Low Gap Trail Extension project is nearing completion. There is a mile and half of new trail that is roughed in and walk-able. To walk to the trail, do the loop and return to the parking lot gives you about a three mile walk.
We still need to remove a dirt berm from the lower edge of the trail, do some clean-up and finish work, and there's some restoration needed on areas that were impacted during construction. We had Eagle Scout candidate Travis Orr help out by building a small bridge at the first drainage crossing, thanks Travis! We're now talking to the CA Conservation Corp about helping with the finish work. It wasn't the ideal time to build trail, so it looks a little rough still, but give it six months and it's going to look great.
Thanks to our Project Sponsors, Mendocino Transit Authority and Jorge Allende, MD. Thanks also to the Paths, Open Space and Creeks Commission, the Public Health Department and to all of you who donated time and money to make this trail a reality

Kelvin certainly doesn't have it easy in this online game about farm animals. Getting eggs and milk ready for market has two stages. The first is production, which is about taking care of the animals—the hens and cows—so they produce reliable supplies of eggs and milk. This means feeding the animals, providing them with fresh water, and cleaning their stalls or coops - all essential parts of raising farm livestock.
Some things to know about regarding hens and eggs, if a farmer wants to produce free-range eggs, he must let his hens roam outside and eat outside vegetation. If he wants to produce the healthy Omega-3 enriched type of eggs, he must feed his hens a special diet enriched with flax seed and canola. Cows, on the other hand, only produce one kind of milk, so that makes things easier.
After the hens and cows have produced the eggs and milk, it's time for the processing stage, which prepares the products for market. The eggs are washed and graded. Grading involves weighing the eggs and checking them for defects. Only Grade A eggs—eggs with no defects—are packaged for sale. Sometimes they are processed into powdered or liquid forms.
Milk is processed by first separating the cream (fat) from the milk, using a spinning process. Then the right amount of fat is added back to make the different types of milk like "skim milk" and "2% milk." The milk is then pasteurized. This process heats the milk to a temperature that kills any bacteria. Then the milk is homogenized. This process mixes the fat into the milk to make a smooth mixture. Vitamins are often added, and the milk is packaged and shipped into stores.

No linked challenges.
No linked visions.
Communication abroad.
My challenges is to find solution for to this question: How people can communicate abroad if they don`t speak the same language?
My challenge is to find some solution for the question : How people can communicate abroad if they don`t speak the same language.
I have been many times in Italy. I have had always good service there. But there was sometimes little bit problems with communication because in some places people did not speak English and I did not know Italian language. So it was difficult to explain what kind of service I wanted. We used some body language but it took long time to understanding what I really wanted from them. I had the same problem also in French.
Hopefully I figure it out how to improve my challenge and solve this problem.

Research question: How people can communicate abroad if they don´t speak the same language.
i think even abrod you can find a way to communicate even if you don't speak the same language but it would be easier if you know it.
If you mean staying in the country for longer time, learning the language usually pays off the best. (take it as an opinion of a foreigner living in Finland)

« A Challenge to Children's Ministry, Part 2 | Main | Leadership Lessons from Bad Bosses »November 15, 2012
Out with the Old Women's Ministry
A new approach to impact women for Jesus
During the past decade, the landscape of key leadership positions within churches and non-profits has changed. The number of female senior pastors has doubled and there are more women than men leading non-profits.
Sadly, a strange dichotomy is occurring within the American church. While there are more women in key leadership positions than ever before, women are leaving the church at a startling rate.
As a women's leader in my local church, this news is alarming and yet not surprising. Just this morning I was talking with an educated professional woman in her early 30s. She was vehemently stating a sentiment I have heard several times during my tenure as a women's leader: "I hate women's ministry. I think I will die if I hear the words 'spa,' 'tea,' or 'girlfriend' one more time."
Earlier in the week I met several influential Christian women who are thoughtful and committed to making a difference in the lives of others. One is an attorney who spends her life advocating for girls trapped in human trafficking, another woman ministers to women suffering with lupus, and another spent the majority of her life establishing churches behind the Iron Curtain. Spas and teas seem frivolous in comparison.
Most women I know work full-time, many are single parents, and many are looking to spend what little free time they have doing something of value, something that will impact and influence others for Christ. The traditional women's ministry model of group teas and Bible teaching doesn't meet that need anymore. No matter the size of your church, each congregation includes a diverse background of women: educated, uneducated, rich, poor, single, married with children, married without children, divorced with children, divorced without children, various ethnic and cultural backgrounds, women suffering with addictions, women with debilitating ailments, and the list can go on and on. There is no one-size-fits-all model, but there is a model that affords every woman within your church an opportunity to lead and impact others for Christ: the free-market small group model.
The free-market small group model consists of groups formed out of a felt need within the church. For example, at Bayside Community Church, the 10th-fastest-growing church in America, where I serve in the small group ministry, Heidi had a passion to reach women caught in the sex trade within her community. She developed a small group of women who minister to girls employed at strip clubs. Because they developed life-giving, authentic relationships with the dancers, one club allowed Bayside to stream its services in the dressing rooms. Women who typically would not step into a church are hearing the gospel via the Internet and experiencing the love of Christ through relationships with the women in this small group.
There are three major benefits to the free-market small group model:
1. The groups are passion-driven, springing forth out of felt needs among the women themselves. Therefore, the variety of groups is endless. We've had gourmet cooking groups, MOPS groups, financial-planning groups, marriage groups, in-depth Bible studies, mentoring groups, softball groups, weight-loss groups, divorce-recovery groups, 12-Step groups, and groups for singles. We encourage them to meet in homes and other venues around the city. Because the groups are passion-driven, the leaders are committed to their success and tend to lead multiple groups and/or lead during every small-group cycle.
2 . Groups spawn new leaders. This model inherently encourages new leaders. For example, Millie led a small group for mothers with young children. Each mom took a turn hosting the group in her home. The women in the group developed significant life-giving relationships that attracted more women to the group. The original group spawned another group, which required a leader. Leaders receive small-group training and are encouraged to identify other potential leaders within their groups.
3. Groups provide leadership opportunities for women. The free-market small group model encourages every woman to lead a small group. Potential group leaders attend a leaders' orientation, receive training, and get the support of a coach. A coach is a woman who comes alongside the small-group leader to support, encourage, and pray for her and for her group members. Each coach has a lead coach who is charged with identifying women leaders, providing leadership development, praying, and encouraging her coaches.
Groups provide life-giving atmospheres where women can connect with one another and with God. Ultimately, life change happens within the context of relationships, and the free-market small group model provides the opportunity for every woman to connect with other women in authentic relationships and grow in her relationship with Christ.
The free-market small group model has transformed the way women experience church at Bayside. Through our coaching structure, women are empowered to use their passion to create small groups so women can impact our community with the gospel. Along with the plethora of small groups that are running this year, we have our first small group for military wives as well as one for wives whose husbands work protecting our community: policemen, firemen, and EMTs.
We are moving forward with the following initiatives: establishing online small groups to meet the needs of women who have childcare issues or atypical work schedules; strategically placing small groups around the city so working women can meet on their lunch breaks; establishing year-round groups so women coming through the doors of Bayside for the first time don't have to wait until the next semester to get connected but can plug into a group right away. Connecting women with other women and helping them grow in Christ is one of the best gigs on the planet!
Julia Mateer serves as the director of women's small groups at Bayside Community Church. A writer, speaker, and professional Christian counselor, she lives in Florida with her husband, Mark.
I like the ideas you have proposed for the free market group model. I use the online method and have made attempts to use telephone conference. I have found that I get little feedback however from those included in the group process, therefore, I do not always know the interest of the group. I also am frequently asked 'How is your ministry going?' I don't think others realize that ministry belongs to GOD and the presenter is just a vessel being used to bring GOD's message to them. I like this article.
I love groups! They can be an incredibly powerful vehicle of connection, equipping, empowering and inspiring. I've felt a call to help equip others for small group facilitation/leadership as well as helping wen find their voice. Thanks for posting about the free market model.
The problem I have with "women's ministry" groups is that each and every one I've gone to, it's no more than a social club for women to connect with their friends--i.e., clique up and circle the wagons so newcomers and outsiders are left out. This is the main reason I have a hard time finding a church: the men welcome my husband, but the women are self centered and treat me as unwelcome competition (and I might add I'm not Miss America or pushy, either--in fact, I try to reach out, but no one wants to reach back), so I get thrown out the window. It's easy to point the finger at me and say, "you need to forgive"--but that's just avoiding Jesus' requirement to examine yourself first and take care of the log in your own eye before you point out the speck in my eye. So why can't women open up to each other? Are they so insecure that any newcomer is a threat? My prayer is that I can find a women's ministry that is actually a ministry and not just a social club of finger pointers.
Andrea, I am sorry that has been your experience. You are very correct we christian women are often cliquish and not as welcoming as we should be. I have experienced it and have watched if from afar.
I may encourage you in a few ways. Pray, be bold and ask God for a church and a friend. He will guide you to that right group of women. He will send that special friend you are needing. Next, one thing women do when we are lonely is project our feelings out a bit on those around us, which sometimes keeps us from seeing that one person who is feeling just like us. Finally I ask your forgiveness for those women who really do lack the eyes to see you needing that hug, that hand of friendship, that woman to come alongside and draw you in to their fellowship as a sister.
Andrea, I don't know where you live but I'd love to have you in my church women's group. We offer warm, rich friendship to all comers both new and current, young and old. Social activities that allow us to get to know one another better, service opportunities for our community, Bible study and prayer are blended in our women's ministries. God receives all the glory for keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Andrea. I am sitting here puzzled with your raw honest remark. Call me crazy, but He just spoke these words for you to my heart. Our Father is asking you to be the leader. You are trustworthy and called into womens' ministry. I think He wants you to fill this role. You to make a difference and BE the living example of what you want so desperately. HArd thought right. Not for you and Him together. Asking right now for Him to speak to your heart vision and purpose in women's ministry. As your sister in JC, come in the opposite spirit and love those ladies!
Women's ministry is changing because it needed to change! Women today serve multiple roles, lead busy lives and don't have the time for fluff. Women today want to be connected to God and to other women. We were not meant to walk this Christian walk alone, we need one another. Having sisters in Christ to love, encourage and support each other is the only way we can truly grow in our faith because these are the same women who aren't afraid to speak truth into our lives. Thanks for the great article!
Thanks to all who responded to me and God bless you.
First of all, I'm Janeway, NOT Andrea (poor Andrea must be wondering why everyone thinks SHE wrote my comments--the author is listed BELOW the post, NOT above).
Secondly, I have purposely left out the town that I live in, for I know if I identify it, someone from my town will recognize me, and say, "Aha! I know who she is"--and then, once again, point fingers at me instead of admitting what SHE and her group did to make me feel this way to begin with (remember the little Scripture I quoted about the log in YOUR OWN eye???). So--for those who would want to invite me to your group, chances are we live across the country from each other, so obviously I can't come. (And in response to those who would want to counsel me to move somewhere else, I KNOW I'm where God wants me, so THAT'S not the issue--WOMEN are).
And also, it's easy to say "our group is different", when you're an established member of the group (how much do YOU reach out to newcomers yourself--and NOT just the first time they come, either, but on a consistent basis??).
Third, to Heather in Asia Minor: all too often in my Christian life, I've heard from well meaning people like you, "This is happening because God wants YOU to do it"--which is a good way for the people responsible for the situation in the first place to get out of their responsibility to repent and change, and to dump the work on ME. That, my friend, along with the fact that God has shown me on several occasions that I am NOT called to leadership--and, most importantly, I have NO confirmation in my spirit that your word is a true word from the Lord, is why I do not receive your exhortation (I have learned to test the spirits, and I do NOT get a confirmation of your message).
If what you were really trying to say is, "reach out in faith"--if you re-read my original message, you'll see I have done exactly that--with NO results.
The problem, as I see it,(and the very reason for this article in the first place) is that women's groups need to reach ALL women--and THAT means WOMEN NEED TO SHED THEIR INSECURITIES AND REACH OUT TO OTHER WOMEN AND NOT JUST THEIR FRIENDS WHO THEY ARE COMFORTABLE WITH. AND THEY NEED TO DO IT CONSISTENTLY AND NOT JUST FEEL LIKE THEY'VE DONE THEIR "CHRISTIAN DUTY" BY GREETING THEM ON THEIR FIRST VISIT, BUT NOT AFTERWARD. THAT'S exactly the problem I run across time after time--the second time I come, I'm no more than a hole in the wall to the group.
I have no bitterness or unforgivness towards these groups, but it gets lonely and frustrating when I keep hitting my head against a brick wall.
Wow, Janeway...As I was reading down through these comments and came upon your last comment on Nov. 27th...I was really struck with just how angry and disappointed and hurt you are! It really made me sit up and take another look as I thought surely I have missed something. I was searching for new and different ways to reach out to women in our church when I came upon this article. When I read your last line "I have no bitterness or unforgivness towards these groups, but it gets lonely and frustrating when I keep hitting my head against a brick wall." My mind went straight to a passage in Acts 9:5 NKJV - Where Jesus is talking with Paul and said him "It is hard for you to kick against the goads" I do believe that you have been hurt and are still hurting or you would not have come out and swung such a hard blow against the women that were trying to reach out to you in love. It was done out of love not as a means of a putdown to you. We all need to stop knicking against the goads and take responsibility for our own actions and stop hitting and swinging out insults to each other but rather learn what it means to "love one another!" to speak boldly the "gospel of Jesus Christ" so others can come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. We so often look for "what can a church or a ministry do for ME" rather than how can I serve God and others through my church. It is a honor and a privilege to serve God. Instead of banging your head against the wall/goads and waiting for people to reach out to you...you continue to reach out to others and love them inspite of how they treat you - live the example of our Lord Jesus! Love them whether they love you or not. Pray for them! And you will be able to see the change in your heart towards them and their hearts towards you!
Joey: OF COURSE I try to reach out to others, and if you read completely BOTH comments I made, you'll see that. What others have done does NOT affect my continuing to try to reach out.
BUT--your answer fits in with what these women have been doing: and in pointing the finger at me by NOT reaching out to me in love THOUGH you claim to see "how angry and hurt and disappointed" I am. WHERE are YOU looking at your log first instead of my speck in your answer? WHERE is the compassion and true love of Christ, where we are commanded to weep with those who weep, instead of pointing the finger at THEM?
Your response just goes to illustrate the point I ws making to begin with: women, like yourself, all too often say, "you're hurt so YOU do something"--instead of reaching out in love and humbling ourselves by asking forgiveness of our oversight of one another. I have seen all too many times people using this very technique you used to get out of searching THEIR hearts, repenting for THEIR sin, and making changes in THEIR behavior--which is EXACTLY what Jesus calls us to do.
It's crystal clear you did NOT get my message--and I suspect it's because you didn't want to.
No, my friend, it is not MY heart that needs changing--it is YOURS.
A name is only a name until love is the motive behind it.My name is Mrs. Dr. Hortense They. I'm on a mission. In ministry for over 60 years and now in my 80's, I'm still doing all my own stunts! That's OK because it's all for my Lord Jesus Christ and well worth the efforts to bring The Good News Gospel to all who need God's Love, Hope and Encouragement.

I don't live in KC and typically don't hear any news until it's reported by the national media. Is anyone hearing anything on Bowe or Albert? Last I heard this morning was that the Bowe camp and Chiefs were in deep negotiations but still off in agreement?

The Vermont Ski and Snowboard museum is celebrating its tenth anniversary reflecting on its biggest changes -- including its name.
It started in Stowe as the Vermont Ski Museum in 2002, but added Snowboarding to the name this year. The winter sports world has evolved so much over the past decade that the museum says it needed to keep up -- especially since the modern snowboard was created in Vermont.
The museum also added a new snowboarding exhibit -- including Jake Burton Carpeter's first snowboard design.
The tenth anniversary celebrations wrap up this weekend with a concert from Jay Nash and the inductions of the newest class into the Hall of Fame.

In the run up to the draft I thought that I would put forward my ideas to what I think the Eagles
will could do in the first round with part of it depending on whether the CBA issue has been resolved or not.
At the minute the obvious pick seems to be Jimmy Smith after it was Gabe Carimi for a long time. But, when has Andy Reid ever gone with the "obvious" pick? Not very often would be the answer to that. Last year everyone expected the Eagles to draft a cornerback, with the popular choice being Kyle Wilson and some even thinking that they would draft Maurkice Pouncey, Mike's twin brother. But Andy Reid ended up moving all the way up to the 13th overal pick to select defensive end Brandon Graham. Also, who saw the Jeremy Maclin pick coming in the 09 draft? Because, I take my hat off to you if you did.
Now, as I have just shown, Andy Reid has a tendency to move around in the draft, especially in the first round. So let me start by saying that I do not see the Eagles staying put at 23 in this year's draft. So, for my first possible scenario let's just pretend that the CBA issue has been resolved and that the Eagles have traded Kevin Kolb, who on his own I think is worth a mid first round pick.
Teams that I have listed in an around what Kolb's value is worth are Miami (15th overall pick) Possibly Jacksonville (16th overall pick) even though I couldn't personally see it happening and Minnesota (12th overall pick) Now, I don't think the Eagles would be able to get the 12th overall pick for Kolb alone so they may have to throw in a pick from the lower rounds as well. But, for the purposes of this partial mock draft let's say that the Vikings say yes to this deal and the Eagles get the 12th pick overall and still have their own pick at 23. I only mention this because if you remember in the 2009 Draft the Eagles had two first round picks, one of which they used to acquire Jason Peters from Buffalo and the other to draft Jeremy Maclin. I think that the Eagles could go down the same route here and use the 23rd pick in the draft in a trade for an impact player on defence. I'll let you guys speculate in the comments about who that could be. That would still leave them with the 12th pick overall which is high enough to acquire a player in the Draft with top end talent and day one starter capability. With the 12th overall pick the Eagles would be able to get the top OT prospect in the draft, Tyron Smith. He didn't start out as the top tackle prospect but after a good showing at his combine and pro day he has moved himself up on draft boards with him being the first OT off the board in almost all mock drafts on NFL.com going between 9 and 13 if we take out Brian Baldingers rouge pick of him going at 19. He has ideal height and length combined with good speed and mobility for an offensive tackle which would be good for the Eagles screen game. He has great footwork in pass protection along with showing good power in the running game. With his mobility and ability to sustain blocks at the second level he could start on the right side of the line and eventually develop into a left tackle down the road. Along with being rated as the best OT prospect in the draft on NFL.com CBSSports also ranks him as their number one OT prospect and Adam Caplan has him as the first lineman off the board in his mock draft.
Now, if by any chance he was gone by the 12th pick the Eagles could take Boston College OT Anthony Castonzo. Although I think it would be a little high for Castonzo to come off the board at 12 we could still take him and kick him inside to right gaurd. Castonzo has all the assets to potentially develop into a top right or left tackle. Like Smith he has good mobility although he doesn't show the same level of strength in the run game. I wouldn't complain about taking Castonzo at 12 however, he isn't going in most mock drafts on NFL.com until around 15 - 17 which would put us in prime position to acquire him if we traded Kolb and a later pick to Miami which would mean we would keep the later pick that we would have been giving up to move up those extra 3 - 5 picks.
One more player that I think the Eagles could get if they get the 12th overall pick is Prince Amukamara. Most mock drafts have him going at seven to the San Francisco 49ers but the ones that don't have him slipping all the way down to 13 and even 15 in one mock draft. I don't think I need to try to justify why Amukamara would be a good pick for the Eagles. He's got size, speed, athleteicism, elite ball skills and is a good return man. Although I doubt the Eagles will use him as a return man as he would be expected to win the RCB spot. However, Amukamara only drops this far because they also have Patrick Peterson going at 7. This unfortunately means that if Peterson goes before San Francisco, most likely to Cincinnati the Eagles will not be able to get Prince Amukamara. However, on the off chance that a new CBA has been signed and the Eagles have shipped Kolb off to Minnesota for the 12th overall pick look out for this.
Now for the more likely scenario that the CBA isn't resolved and the Eagles can't trade Kolb. There have been speculations that the Eagles could do an NBA style deal with the Cardinals or someone else in the top ten where the Eagles would ask a team to draft a player and then once a new CBA is signed the teams would complete the deal but I think the chances of this are next to none. I think the most likely scenario from here is that the Eagles either trade up to get a player they like or trade out of the first round completely. I think that if they trade up it will be because Mike Pouncey has slipped to within their grasp and they can do a similar deal to the 09 deal in which they drafted Jeremy Maclin. This would be a great pick for the Eagles as Pouncey is the best interior lineman in the draft and has the versatility to play Center and Gaurd at the NFL level. It's no secret that Andy Reid likes lineman who can play multiple positions but Pouncey is also a smart kid with a high football IQ, recognising blitzes well (something the Eagles linemen didn't do this season) He also has great footwork combined with the use of his hands making him solid in pass protection which is a must for Andy Reid offensive linemen.
On a side note, as you may have noticed I mentioned Adam Caplan a few times in this article. He gives a great insight on the NFL draft and always gives you his own opinion. For those of you that tweet if you aren't already follow him at @caplannfl

Howdy -
Wayne Drehs over at ESPN.com wrote a neat piece on the home opener yesterday that is worth a read - Link. You've got to admit it, our early season debacle makes one heck of a story.
Besides tidbits about a subversive sausage and the secret agenda of college students, the financial aspect of the series was elaborated upon:The Brewers will not make any money on the series. Nor will the Indians and Angels lose money they would have earned on ticket sales or concessions. Major League Baseball told Schlesinger to keep track of his expenses as well as revenue from the series and Major League Baseball would later decide how the teams would be reimbursed.
MLB representatives did not return a phone message Tuesday, but spokesman Rich Levin told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel on Monday that any shortfall of income for the series will come out of an MLB contingency fund.
"They informed us to do what we needed to do to pull this off," Schlesinger said. "So that's what we worried about."
It is, of course, great that the Indians and Angels won't lose any money on tickets or concessions. But I'm fairly suprised that the Brewers won't make any money on this.

In order to keep Brandon Steakhouse sizzling, water is a necessity.
"800,000 gallons of water we go through a day in Brandon. That's a lot of water," said owner Bob Miller.
Right now well number six in southeast Brandon is being repaired. Corrosion on a pipe caused a leak.
"Not too concerned. Talking with folks that were down here to fix it, it should be done in two days. And, we can operate on the wells that we have for that time," said city administrator Byron Read.
Conserving water mid-week isn't too tough for the Steakhouse said Miller, but over the weekend would be a different story.
"Keep an eye on everything. I think it's voluntary. I don't want it to go mandatory because we do have to keep the restaurant open. They say it might be a little brown water, but don't worry about that," said Miller.
Added Read, "It's certainly safe to drink. It's safe to bathe in. It's safe to consume. The only problem you may have is doing laundry. Typically, it may discolor your laundry a little bit."
With those things in mind, Miller will keep going about his business. He'll be a little extra mindful as his town makes some repairs.
"We still got to keep sanitary too. We still got to soak some things, pre wash, but we're just making sure all of our loads are full," said Miller. "Make sure the dishwasher is full when we put items in it."

Battelle Ventures gets another $70 million
Battelle Memorial Institute, which manages or co-manages five national laboratories, including ORNL, has pumped an additional $70 million into its venture fund, Battelle Ventures.
Battelle Ventures, based in Princeton, N.J., now has $220 million under management. The fund invests side-by-side with a $35 million affiliate fund based in Knoxville, Innovation Valley Partners, which is bankrolled by local business leaders including Pilot Corp. founder Jim Haslam and Clayton Homes founder Jim Clayton.
The two funds look to leverage technologies coming out of Battelle-managed labs, so the extra $70 million could mean more opportunities to spin ORNL technologies out to the private sector. A Battelle Ventures general partner says the added money will extend the life of the fund and allow it to do at least 30 deals instead of the 20 to 25 it had anticipated.

Police are on the scene of a deadly shooting Monday.
Investigators said a man was found dead on his front porch near North 29th Street and State Avenue on Monday. The shooting was reported at 12:13 p.m. at the Four Fountains Apartments.
No suspect information or age of victim has been released.
Police are investigating the circumstances. KCTV5 news photographer Brett Hacker reported seeing police evidence markers for nearly 40 shell casings.
Police hope with that many shots being fired that someone saw or heard something that can lead to an arrest. So far, police have only released that witnesses reported seeing two men in a dark-colored BMW.
The victim's name and age has not been released.
One resident told KCTV5 that she thought the gunfire was actually fireworks because the pops were so close together and so many sounded.

News Release
Government to increase tax on financial institutions11 April 2012
FREDERICTON (GNB) – Legislation was introduced today that would increase a tax on financial institutions, the Financial Corporation Capital Tax, from three per cent to four per cent.
"It is important that everyone do their part to help rebuild New Brunswick, address our province's fiscal challenges and work together to build a stronger economy," said Finance Minister Blaine Higgs, "This measure will provide an estimated five million dollars annually that can be used to reduce our deficit."
The tax is levied on the taxable capital of financial institutions in excess of $10 million as defined in the New Brunswick Financial Corporation Capital Tax Act.
Financial institutions include: banks, trust and loan companies, which accept deposits as defined by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act. Credit unions and caisse populaires are not included.
"This legislation was a commitment in our recent budget and will help bring our tax more in line with other provinces in Atlantic Canada," said Higgs.
Increasing the tax rate to four per cent will make New Brunswick's rate equal to that of Nova Scotia.

SF Gets a Little Taste of Fashion Week With Macy's Passport
Plenty of local fashion-philes have been overheard lamenting their West Coast tethers in recent days, thanks to that special time of year in New York, but we're happy to report that style salve for runway-deprived San Franciscans is on its way.
The 27th annual Macy's Passport benefit and fashion show takes place this week and, unlike the shows we've been drooling over in the Big Apple, this one is open to the public.
One of the largest and longest-running HIV/AIDS fundraising events of its kind, the benefit is joining forces with Macy's Come Together campaign against domestic hunger this year to support not only HIV/AIDS services, prevention and research, but also to raise much-needed funds for beneficiaries such as San Francisco's Glide Memorial, Project Open Hand and Huckleberry Youth Programs.
The festivities begin tomorrow night with an invitation-only evening of fashion fun and HIV prevention education for 2,000 Bay Area youth.
On Thursday, the main event treats guests to a reception featuring live bluegrass and edibles from Taste, a performance by Gwen Stefani backup dancers the Harajuku Girls and a runway fashion show presenting fall looks by Rachel Roy, Hugo Boss, Calvin Klein, American Rag, Levi's, Tallia, Papi and b.tempt'd by Wacoal.
Additionally, through Saturday, an in-store Passport sale at Macy's Union Square location will offer shoppers 10 to 20 percent off most Macy's merchandise when they purchase a $10 ticket.
Macy's Passport reception and fashion show begins tomorrow night at 5:30 p.m. in the Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason Center. Tickets ($125 and up).

NEW ORLEANS -- A longtime Hollywood star is now in the Metro area and in the business of cleaning up oil.
Motivated by the Exxon-Valdez oil spill, Kevin Costner began assembling a team of scientists to construct a machine that could clean up massive spills. A decade and a half later, that technology might now be put to use off the coast of Louisiana.
A massive oil slick creeping to the coast, vulnerable Louisiana wildlife just miles from its path, and Kevin Costner mingling on the lakefront. These are unusual times, and the Hollywood star is introducing his unusual machine -- one designed to separate oil from water.
"It's not anymore about talk," said Costner. "It's about doing the walk, and that phrase was probably invented down here."
With a tub of oil at his side, Costner unveiled what he's been financing for the last 15 years.
"It's like a ... big vacuum cleaner and it brings the water up and oil up and it will actually separate the oil and separate the water," said John Houghtaling, Costner's business partner.
Houghtaling said the biggest machines can handle 200 gallons per minute. That's more than 50 gallons faster than what the leaking oil well is spewing out each day.
Costner's team said the machines can be taken out into the water on barges, where giant tanks attacked to the machines' pipes can be used to store the collected oil.
The invention works by first sucking out both the water and oil, a second pipe spits out the oil, and a third spews out the water, which Costner's scientists claim is nearly free of crude.
"More than 99 percent of the oil, out of the water," said Eric Hoek, professor of engineering at the University of California.
A more expensive model by the Costner team boasts even clearer water, but Hoek said it's still years away from production.
Costner's pitch, however, is just one of many.
Some ideas have even gone viral, like the online clip showing hay being used to soak up oil or oil booms constructed of nylon stockings and human hair. Canadians are even urging the use of finely shredded tires to absorb and filter the oil.
But inventor Wayne Bennett said despite his constant calls to BP, he's yet to hear back.
"So far we've had no luck," said Bennett.
And he's far from the only one. But Costner is confident, wealthy and popular. The who's who of area parishes from Jefferson Parish councilmen, to parish presidents from St. Bernard and Plaquemines, appeared more than convinced -- they're eager.
"To me this is a major tool for a tool box that should be tested," said Craig Taffaro, St. Bernard Parish President.
Costner's team says they already have 20 machines and could start pumping the gulf as early as tomorrow if BP gives the okay. A representative from the oil company was at the demonstration, but wouldn't comment, only to say he plans to report back on what he saw.
In the meantime, area leaders are already talking about negotiating a daily rate for the machines during a trial period.
"Do it at cost for the first seven days," said Billy Nungessor, Plaquemines Parish president. "Then after that, if it works, you're happy, it stays on that day rate until the oil is cleaned up."
It's unclear when BP will decide whether to give Costner's machine a thumbs up or a thumbs down, but area leaders say they'll push the company to start using the new technology, and soon.

New York Fries Opens 200th Store - Foodservice World
TORONTO - It wasn't too long ago that Jay Gould purchased the rights to a New York City-based QSR concept specializing in french fries, which he then launched in Toronto. It was 1984 to be exact, and tomorrow, November 6, 2009, Gould's Toronto-based company will be opening its 200th store in Hong Kong.
The outlet is the second New York Fries in the Hong Kong market. In 2008, New York Fries signed a master license deal with Hong Kong-based Next Step Limited to open multiple retail units in Hong Kong and Macao. Next Step has planned 10 more units over the next five years in Hong Kong. A move into mainland China remains a future goal.
"We are thrilled to be able to celebrate our 200th store milestone with our franchisees in Hong Kong," says Gould. "Our first Hong Kong location has broken numerous sales records, confirming that this market responds well to our concept. We are excited for the continued development in this exciting market."
To what does Gould credit the success? Fresh potatoes are cut in every store every day, leaving the skin on for added flavour and nutrients. The fries are cooked in non-hydrogenated, trans-fat-free sunflower oil, using a unique three-stage cooking process to create the ideal fry texture - crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.

descamisado, (Spanish: "shirtless one"), in Argentine history, during the regime of Juan Perón (ruled 1946–55, 1973–74), any of the impoverished and underprivileged Argentine workers who were Perón's chief supporters.
Under Perón's rule the political influence of the large landowners (estancieros) was diminished in favour of the lower-middle and working classes. Perón's wife, née María Eva Duarte, popularly called Evita, became the idol of the descamisados because of her own poor origins and her reputation for using her great influence to benefit the poor. After Evita's death (July 1952), Perón lost support among the workers.

UPDATE: Wiring caused Gulfside Drive fire
Date: February 7, 2013
by: Robin Hartill | City Editor
A fire that destroyed a home and left two family pets dead was caused by wiring to a recessed light fixture just outside the master bedroom, according to an email that Longboat Key Fire Rescue Chief Paul Dezzi sent last night to Town Manager Dave Bullock.
Around 2:30 p.m. yesterday, firefighters responded to a reported fire at 6430 Gulfside Road.
A police report states that occupants Jose and Paola Chichande, who rent the residence, were not home at the time of the fire.
Jose Chichande told police that he was at the beach with his daughter when the fire started and learned about it when a neighbor called him.
Approximately 20 firefighters from Longboat Key, along with West Manatee and Sarasota County fire departments, had the fire under control in 20 minutes.
Dezzi estimated that 85% of the structure was destroyed and that the family also lost its dog and rabbit.
No injuries were reported in the fire.

With a whole host of names being connected to the Aston Villa managerial job - then quickly un-connected when the media changes its mind - you might not peg Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez as a good choice for the club. They've been linked with far higher profile managers, including Carlo Ancelotti, Mark Hughes, Rafael Benitez and Steve McClaren, so why would Villa go for a manager whose side has been barely escaping the drop for the last few years?
For Aaron Campeau, co-manager of SB Nation Aston Villa blog 7500 to Holte, the answer is pretty simple - it's because his side has been barely escaping the drop when realistically they should have been relegated years ago. Martinez manages to play some pretty good football under huge constraints and pressure, and probably does deserve a shot at a bigger side than Wigan:
My admiration for Martinez is no secret. I have been outspoken in my desire to see the club make an approach in the wake of the departure of both Gerard Houllier and Martin O'Neill. Truth be told, even when MON was still in charge and everything was hunky-dory, I had a bit of a manager-crush on Martinez. His teams play very attractive, flowing, attacking football, but he certainly knows when they need to scrap.
He's shown an ability to work under tight financial constraints, and while Villa are certainly more financially muscular than Wigan they've still got a bit of a bloated wage bill. There are some who are concerned that Martinez was never able to guide Wigan above the bottom third of the table in his time with the club, but in my estimation the fact that he's managed to keep Wigan up at all is a minor miracle.
It would certainly be a forward-thinking appointment as far as Randy Lerner and the Villa board are concerned. They could easily go with the safe option - a Hughes, a Benitez; even a McLaren - but if they choose the young manager with style, potential, and a plan, they might come out of this five managers in a calendar year thing in a far better position than when they entered it. And that's not too bad at all.
