The world's new Pope: His voice is very much needed
It is a big deal because the world - Catholic, Christian, and non-Christian alike - still needs a Pope. It needs one, in fact, more than ever.
The world, for all its successes, is in a bad way in many respects.
The disrespect for human life is rampant. Crimes against children, including of a sordid sexual nature (some committed by the church's own priests), underscore that disrespect.
Evil exists, as it always has and always will. But so does good. And voices for good - courageous voices, God-fearing voices - must rise above the din to preach God's word and to live it by example. It seems that new Pope Francis is such a voice.
The TV talking heads will soon focus on other things of the moment, and they will only return to the new pontiff when he reiterates some part of Christ's teachings that they find less than "progressive." But this will not deter him, nor should it discourage people from paying attention to him.
The loudest sound emanating from St. Peter's Square last Wednesday evening was not the roar of approval when the white smoke was spotted. It was the silence that followed this humble man's first action as Holy Father. It was not to offer a prayer for the people but a request that the people pray for him. They did. And we all should.

The Seattle Seahawks finally won a road playoff game Sunday, taking a 24-14 NFC wild-card victory over the Washington Redskins, who lost Robert Griffin III to another knee injury in the fourth quarter.
Marshawn Lynch ran for 131 yards, and Russell Wilson completed 15 of 26 passes for 187 yards and ran eight times for 67 yards for the Seahawks, who broke an eight-game postseason losing streak away from home.
Seattle will visit the top-seeded Atlanta Falcons next Sunday.
Lynch's 27-yard run with 7:08 remaining gave the Seahawks (12-5) the lead. On Washington's next series, Griffin reinjured the right knee he sprained about a month ago while trying to field a bad shotgun snap.
The knee buckled badly, and the Seahawks recovered the fumble and kicked an insurance field goal.
Kirk Cousins replaced Griffin, but Washington (10-7) was unable to come back.

Dolce Bunny
We all know that white purses can be the devil – no matter how well you take care of them, there will always be that special someone who steps on it with a muddy shoe or manages to get paint on it.
When that special someone happens to be the same person who shares your bed, disaster in the form of screaming and crying usually ensues, with the unlucky other half usually sealing their fate with comments like "It's only a (bleep)ing purse!"
Despite these little catastrophes, white purses will always be irresistible – like the Miss Bunny Satchel from Dolce and Gabbana.
Made of an absolutely gorgeous white grained leather with silver hardware, this lovely luxurious bag has an animal print lining and a removable rolled leather shoulder strap.
As for the perfect outfit to carry this bag with… why don't you guys make some suggestions? Don't be shy!

Queenscliff – A brief history
The Wathawurung People have had lived in the Queenscliff well before the Europeans came to the area. Escaped convict William Buckley was the first white man to live in the area. He befriended the local aboriginals and lived with them in the area for 32 years from 1803. George Tobin in 1883 was one of the first people to utilise the area, operating a pilot service in the area then called Whale Head, but now Shortland's bluff where the lighthouse now stands. Several other operators started up operations similar to Tobins in the following years.
There has been a long standing myth or legend (which we hope is true) that Queenscliff has hidden treasure. The story is told that Pirate Benito Benita buried a huge bounty of treasure in a cave on the cliffs of Swan Bay in 1798. There are tales of him being caught burring the treasure by the then British Navy and the cave was sealed with exploding gun powder. Benita was then hanged and the treasure never recovered. Other the year many people have searched for the mythical treasures, which were meant to include some religious artefacts from a Peru Cathedral- the strange thing though, these items are still in the church, and there is no evidence of the British capturing and executing Benita- so there is every chance the story is just a long fetched tale- but who knows it might be true and the shores of Swan Bay may one day reveal the bounty to a lucky searcher.
The first light house was erected in the early 1840's and a survey of the bay was carried out also around this time. By the 1850's a pastoral run was set up around where the town now stands, this land was sold off after a survey once the Victorian Gold Rush started and the town started to grow, it was then called Queenscliff in honour of the then reigning monarch Queen Victoria by Governor Charles La Trobe. Schools, churches and other town amenities soon followed.
The town became a popular shipping port, with a life boat service, pilot service large jetty and pier. By the 1860's a tramway was installed and the pier extended to be able to handle larger vessels. Fishermen then moved in with their fleet and the gold rush brought an influx of migrants seeking their fortune. The town then developed its garrison, and became a strategic defence post during the Crimean War. By the 1880's the fort was in place with scares of a Russian invasion.
1879 saw the railway line connecting Geelong open, this line is no longer used by commercial trains and is now one of the Bellarine's most popular tourist attractions with travel between Drysdale and Queenscliff. The rail brought huge growth to the area, not only were goods easily transported in and out of Queenscliff the trains along with the many paddle steamers were an ideal way for holiday makers from Melbourne including the high society to holiday in Queenscliff. The magnificent Victorian hotels and guest houses soon popped up to cater for the demand. Some say that Queenscliff lost it's appeal in the early 1900's due to the introduction of the motor car. For the first time people with their own car had choice of where they wanted to visit, and went searching near and far for somewhere different to holiday. This slowed Queenscliff's huge growth and has probably been responsible for saving much of its Victorian heritage with many stately buildings being saved from people wanting to tear them down and replace them with newer more modern structures.
The best way to explore Queenscliff is on foot, there are many magnificent buildings to see and visit. The Queenscliff Hotel on Gellibrand Street dates back to 1888 and still retains its old world charm. Recently renovated keeping the beautiful heritage features in mind the hotel has beautiful lace work and even a enclosed tower. The old Lathamstowe Hotel dates back to 1881-83 and was ran by Edward Latham, who certainly knew a thing or two about beer, he was a brewer who founded the Carlton Brewery. Latham married the daughter of the owner of the Ozone Hotel which was then called Baileau House. The Ozone was one of the more fashionable houses in Queenscliff and was a holiday destination for the rich. The Ozone took the name of a paddle steamer called the Ozone which was used to bring people to Queenscliff from Melbourne. The paddle steamer was sunk off the coast of Indented heads at the end of its life to form a breakwater and still today it can be seen off the shore at low tide.
Another unique thing to see in Queenscliff is the Black Lighthouse which is part of the garrison, it is the only one of its kind in Australia and the stones were cut and numbered in Scotland and shipped to Australia back in 1863 a truly incredible feat.

The Newsome High School Marching Band is once again in great form for its
2012 marching season.
Now 143 members strong, this Florida Marching Band Coalition finalist breaks out this year's show, titled "The Undiscovered America." After completing one full week of band camp and several mini-camps throughout the summer, this group of students is more prepared than ever before.
"To say that I'm proud of these students is an understatement," said Newsome band director Christian Finch. "In all my years of teaching, I've never had a band so invested and committed. This year's show is more
challenging than anything we've every tried before. They've embraced the challenge and are improving themselves every single day."
With several upcoming statewide marching competitions and the county Music Performance Assessments, Newsome will showcase its musical and visual talent.
The Newsome Wolfpack Marching Band also will host its own Marching Festival on Saturday, Oct. 27, from 1 to 9 p.m. Several competition-level high school marching bands will participate from all over the state of Florida.
Tickets are available at the door for $12 for adults, $6 for children 6 to 12 years of age, and 5 years of age and under are free. There is no cost for parking. Merchandise sales and a full concession stand will be available.

Is It Possible for an Adult's Eye Color to Change?
Question: My father disappeared 35 years ago -- now he shows up. When he left, he had green eyes, but now he has blue eyes. Is this possible?
Answer: This change in eye color can occur through the presence of arcus senilis, according to Walter Bortz, M.D., in Healthy Living: Ask Walter Bortz, M.D.
Occurring in older people, arcus senilis is a ring of whitish cholesterol around the outer rim of the iris. Under a certain light, this ring may cast a bluish tinge, particularly to green eyes. Additionally, some of the new glaucoma drops can and do change the color of the iris, but this change is from blue to brown.

This year alone, about 1,000 new students are at LPS. A special committee has some ideas on how to prepare for the next 10 years.
The Superintendent's Facility Advisory Committee has put together a plan they believe will meet the needs of Lincoln Public Schools over the next decade.
LPS is a growing school district, increasing, on average, 500 to 600 kids a year. That's about the size of an elementary school.
"This is all about the kids. It's all about kids in the community and people want to make sure that this is something bigger than just buildings. And they want to make sure that what goes on in those buildings is really important to the kids and the community," Keith Prettyman, the committee's co-chair, said.
The committee broke down into groups to pick the school district's top priorities: technology, security, facilities and infrastructure, as well as student services.
Then there's the Career Academy, which would be a partnership with SCC. The group thinks it should be fully funded.
The challenge? Coming up with the $12 million to do it.
They said it'll give students more opportunities for post-high school experiences.
"To try to keep the kids engaged in education as long as possible," one of the subcommittee members said. "Some of them check out way early and we're trying to get them to stay longer."
The Career Academy would postpone the need for another high school, saving about $40 million.
And money is something the committee has considered, estimating their entire plan would cost between $130 and $140 million.
But Prettyman said they hope to fund it without having any increase to tax payers.
"This is going to be a very, very, big piece for us," Superintendent Steve Joel said. "And there's some things in here, some recommendations in here that will be game changers for a lot of kids and the community as a whole."
The next step for the committee is to formally present the plan to Superintendent Joel on September 10 in a board meeting.
Once changes are made and a final plan is approved, which should be in the next few weeks, you can take a look at it on LPS's website.

- Citations
inhibition, in enzymology, a phenomenon in which a compound, called an inhibitor, in most cases similar in structure to the substance (substrate) upon which an enzyme acts to form a product, interacts with the enzyme so that the resulting complex either cannot undergo the usual reaction or cannot form the usual product. The inhibitor may function by combining with the enzyme at the site at which the substrate usually combines (competitive inhibition) or at some other site (noncompetitive inhibition). In the latter, the inhibitor does not prevent binding of the substrate to the enzyme but sufficiently changes the shape of the site at which catalytic activity occurs so as to prevent it.

Ellis returned on Sunday against the Rams.||||||| Ellis had missed four straight games with a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee.
Ellis will not be suspended by the NFL after the league completed its review of his legal situation following his guilty plea to misdemeanor assault and battery.||||||| Ellis was sentenced to 45 days in a Virginia prison in May after a fight while in college at Hampton University in 2010. By entering an Alford plea, he didn't admit guilt but acknowledged that prosecutors could prove the case against him. Under an agreement with the court, the 2011 third-round draft pick was granted a split-sentence - 23 days in prison before the season, and the remaining 22 beginning next March 1.
Ellis will split his jail sentence for assault and battery stemming from a 2010 fight while attending college in Virginia, a move that will allow him to make training camp.||||||| Under an agreement with the court, Ellis will report to jail Friday night and remain in custody until July 9.

His attorney said Ellis likely would serve 45 days when he reports to jail on June 15.||||||| Ellis originally faced a felony malicious wounding charge from the fight at Hampton University and faced up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Before court, he was served with a $3 million lawsuit from the victim, Dennis Eley. The Jets selected Ellis in the third round of the 2011 draft.

iOS 7 Suggestion: a light/dark interface toggle.
Was I the only one surprised that all of the iOS 7 demos and photos on Apple's website and the WWDC keynote were with a white iPhone? I think someone (David Pierce? not sure) mentioned in the post-keynote live video commentary that perhaps Apple made this obviously conscious choice because a) it better showcases the light/white UIs in iOS 7 and/or b) the white iPhone might have higher demand than the black one at this point.
Regardless, it seems through the color choices in the new UI that they were designing with a white iPhone in mind. I really think Apple should have a toggle for two different "themes" akin to how windows phone can change interface colors to match the body of the phone, I think that iOS 7 should have a light and dark theme. I would love to have a dark interface on apps like messages and mail. I don't care if it's less "light" feeling; I would love for the OS to match my device. Additionally, I think darker themes in many updated apps would look more professional.
What do you all think?
P.S. I would do a mock-up of a darker themed iOS... but my graphic design skills are fairly limited.

"Quality of Life"- A Term With Lots of MeaningsSubmitted by MLewyn on Tue, 01/08/2013 - 12:12pm
I am in the middle of Jeff Speck's Walkable City, and noticed his statement that walkable cities "provide a better quality of life." (p. 70).

3Amanda Bynes Thinks Zac Efron Has An Ugly Face
I think it's pretty clear that Amanda Bynes spends 95% of her time sitting around thinking about how ugly everyone is in comparison to herself. On her list? Jay-Z, Drake (of course), Miley Cyrus… and now Zac Efron? I mean, Zac Efron does absolutely nothing for me, but I don't think I'd ever describe him as "ugly". Then again, I'm operating on all cylinders and have better things to think about than what people look like. Not Amanda, though:
LOL. She deleted this very soon after posting it, along with her latest "Drake is ugly" tweet (yes, she actually posted that again), though she did take time to declare her love of surgery, her plans to have more of it and her absolute disregard for what anyone thinks of her so long as her bank account stays fresh.
I wish she'd turn it up a notch if she's going to keep being crazy. Just calling people ugly is pretty boring, I think.

3 Responses to "Amanda Bynes Thinks Zac Efron Has An Ugly Face"
This crazy bimbo is way past boring. Repetitive bag of ugly is all she tweets.
Soon it will be quicker to list who is NOT ugly according to her, that list will probably just consist of herself.
Amanda proves she's a whack job every time she calls people ugly. She's the ugly one and the ugliness is inside.

Gresham a Super Bowl Champion
Feb. 2, 2014
FORT WORTH, Texas -- With the Seattle Seahawks' 43-8 win over the Denver Broncos, former TCU deep snapper Clint Gresham became the 17th Horned Frog with a Super Bowl championship ring.
Gresham was the 25th TCU player on a Super Bowl team. He is the fourth Horned Frog, including the second deep snapper (Jared Retkofsky, Pittsburgh Steelers, Super Bowl XLIII), to be a Super Bowl champion in the last eight seasons.
Gresham was a three-year starter (2007-09) at TCU and the only deep snapper invited to the 2010 NFL Combine.
TCU cornerback Larry Brown was the Super Bowl XXX Most Valuable Player when the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Everybody of us was born as kids who needed careful guidance while growing up. One thing which is common amongst all kids is the primary lessons that we are taught by our parents or the guardians. One such primary lesson is the almost constant coaching of never to talk to, trust or in any way get close to strangers.
As kids of course, most of us are never quite exposed to the full meaning of such a lesson. However, once we grow up, some sense finally dawns and we can clearly see why such instructions are give. Cut to 2012 and you will know that the very worst scenario of such an account is when you are being stalked.
Online Stalking
Admittedly, stalking just like any other types of abnormality, has different shades and degrees to it. If by chance your mother had taught you about serial stalkers and killers, you as a parent can add online stalking to the list of things which stand to kill you. You may think that online stalking is a novel concept. However, evidence clearly points that stalking over the web has been in groove since the '90s.
Anyhow, you might wonder how such a thing over the web is possible and who has the time, right? Remember two things, if your instincts poke, there is reason to avoid a person. Secondly, the nicer, sickly sweet the person seems to be, the more suspicious you must become. All of such behavioral patterns can be attributed toward one simple theory; rejection. Some people simply cannot take it or at any rate deal with it. Such people might be your co-worker, your former paramour, some crush, some date and many more.
Modern statistics have also shown that about 5 out of 15 people have been at the receiving end of stalking.
Dealing with It
Like most things in life, the important lessons in life are taught right at the knee of your guardian! Start with protecting any personal information that you may have divulged. Social networking sites are great. However, being at the receiving end of social networking of stalkers is not.
If you know someone online, keep it online. No point of divulging details such as phone numbers and stuff. Try deleting certain accounts. Make another one instead and try refraining from very obvious usernames.
Do not treat moderately fishy businesses lightly. Remember the case of Amanda Todd and drive some sense home.

August 27, 2003
Albany- Governor Sonny Perdue began his day touring Calltech Communications, one of the dozens of businesses that have benefited from OneGeorgia grants.
"This is a great success story right here. Over five hundred jobs in Albany as a result of participation with OneGeorgia in a company and also tax policies that we did with Bellsouth years ago in encouraging them to expand their high tech capacity throughout the state," says Perdue.
After his visit, Perdue and the OneGeorgia Authority Board recognized the recipients of the latest round of grant and loan awards. $3 million will go to Southwest Georgia counties.
The Crisp County-Cordele Industrial Development Authority is hoping its $500,000.00 loan will attract new industry.
"It's wonderful, it's a God send for us. It will enable us to build a one hundred thousand square foot speculative building and bring projects and jobs to Cordele," says Bruce Drennon of the Cordele Industrial Development Council.
Tifton also got a loan to help expand its CityNet telecommunications network. "There was a gap between the city of Tifton out to this park, and along the way there is some other businesses that will share in the high speed internet service," says Mayor Paul Johnson.
Pulaski, Telfair, Ben Hill, and Thomas Counties also got money.
"I hope one day that no county in Southwest Georgia will even be eligible for this program because we would have brought enough jobs the we're not considered poor any more. I think that's a great dream and OneGeorgia will help us accomplish that," admits Lt. Governor Mark Taylor.
With the 700 new jobs and 350 existing jobs the awards will pay for, that dream is even closer to becoming a reality.
The state's share of the tobacco settlement money is used to fund OneGeorgia awards for 71 of Georgia's poorest counties. All Southwest Georgia counties qualify for the money.
The OneGeorgia Authority board is also fighting to save Georgia's military bases.
$500,000.00 of OneGeorgia money will be used to for a Base Realignment and Closure Commission study. Lawmakers will seek out the best ways to keep Georgia's bases including Albany's Marine Corps Logistics Base off the closure list.
"We kind of like to do our job as best we can and let BRAC take care of itself. I'm not going to say it is not on our minds, we are certainly concerned about it, because we feel that this base provides a valuable asset to the Marine Corps and to the Department of Defense," says Col. Joseph Wingard.
"If we lose this base then there is really no way to explain to the average person how they will be effected," adds Lt. Gov. Mark Taylor.
MCLB has already survived 3 rounds of base closures. 25% of the bases across the country will be shut down by September 2005.

Border woes make for an original, avant-garde exhibition
The Mexican-American border just below San Diego has long been a source of controversy. Illegal immigration, drug trafficking and crime are constant topics of concern for law enforcement and civilians alike.
But on April 2, with the help of artists, curators, writers, professors and theoreticians from around the globe, this divider will become a symbol of unity, awareness and art as the highly anticipated InSite 05 Preview exhibition gets under way.
InSite 05 is the latest installment brought forth by InSite, a nonprofit organization renowned for its socially conscious, often politically charged artwork. This free exhibition will offer a sneak peek at the multimedia pieces that will be officially unveiled Aug. 26 at both the San Diego Museum of Art and the Cultural Institute of Baja California in Tijuana.
Although no final projects will be on display until then, visitors will have the chance to preview filmed, photographed, hand-drawn and written proposals of the 24 designs from April 2 through May 8 at the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library and the Cultural Institute of Baja, California.
"We are a nontraditional organization," said Michael Krichman, the director of InSite 05, "and with this preview, we are trying to give people insight into what we do."
What InSite does is commission artists from around the world – including those from Mexico, Brazil, Holland, Finland, Canada, Cuba, Turkey and even San Diego – to develop new works to be displayed in public places. These projects range from documentary-style films to a new public park where the fence goes into the ocean at the border.
"But, you can't just plonk a sculpture down anywhere," Krichman said. "These artists have long-term engagements with the (community)."
In most cases, these artists – most of whom are mid-career – have been invited by the InSite organization to complete two-year residencies, which are typically conducted over the course of five to six visits to the San Diego-Tijuana region.
"These artists are all seasoned professionals," said Krichman. "And they really do a wide range of projects."
Among the more eccentric creations are a Mexican artist's plan to shoot human cannonball Dave "The Bullet" Smith across the border with the help of patients from a mental hospital in Mexico, a Canadian artist's choir comprised solely of the spouses of servicemen currently stationed in Iraq, a Dutch artist's film featuring the less-traveled canyon areas of Tijuana, and another artist's idea to increase porters' – the men who transport baggage at the border – visibility by supplying them with new uniforms, carts and signage.
"I feel that these are all very original projects that really show what cultural institutions could do for the area," said Osvaldo Sanchez, art director for the 12-year-old InSite. "They are all very important for the city."
They are so important that the organization's $3.5 million budget is met by some of the discipline's biggest names, including the Athenaeum Music and Arts Library, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Arts, the city of San Diego Commission for the Visual Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, the

Just had a second push in at our 6 family house. Last summer thieves broke into our basement and took a
very expensive bike. Today they came back and took another one. They bust open the front basement door, cut the locks, and then leave with them.
This happened on 44th St. between 30th avenue and 31st. Heads up neighbors!!! Securely lock your bikes and securely lock your basement doors!!!
Views: 409
I agree that it sucks to feel violated like this, but I don't think it's fair to say, "Watch out Astoria...the neighborhood is changing...not in a good way" because your bike was stolen. I've lived in Astoria (on and off) since 1998 and sure things have changed, in both positive and negative ways, but stealing bikes (and selling them to delivery guys) has been happening forever, and it happens in every neighborhood. I have had two bikes stolen, one from 35th ave /35th st area and one on Steinway and Broadway at 2pm in the afternoon. Now i don't take my bike anyplace where I can't bring it with me or see it the whole time. AND I register all of my bikes with the 114, it takes 2 minutes.
check craigslist for your bike
put a camera in your basement, if they broke in twice, they might try a third time.
that sucks. and right around the corner from me.
make sure to let Vallone's office know of this.

Developing 'Capture Land'
OCHO RIOS, St Ann — It would appear that Angella Jones, popularly known as 'Ms Frilly', has every reason to be downtrodden, having lost two of her five children in a tragic car crash three years ago. But she isn't.
In fact, Jones, who resides in an informal settlement in Parry Town called 'Capture Land' has channelleld her grief into a project to uplift her community — a pageant intended to inspire and build self-confidence in young girls.
Billed Mini Miss Capture Land, the competition is in honour of Jones' sons Rolando Mignott and Ruel Irons who died during the Easter season of 2011.
"Every year mi always put on a kids treat," she told the Jamaica Observer recently. "But this year mi just think and say mi want something more fancy... [something to] motivate them, give them more self-esteem."
Twelve girls aged twelve and under entered the pageant. They were trained by another community member, Margaret Stephenson, who also served as MC for
the pageant.
The winner of the inaugural competition was twelve
year-old Kayanne Bailey. Second and third place went to Tia Muir and Maressa Foreman, respectively. Bailey won sectional prizes for the most creative wear as well as the voters' choice award. Foreman won the most talented award, which she shared with Assaffrom Byfield. She also won the sectional prize for the best evening wear. Moyisher Ashley and Tishaney Ellis were declared the most helpful and most disciplined, respectively.
The contestants paid
tribute to Jones' sons during the show.
Jones said the competition was a success not only because of the turnout, but because of the impact it had on the young girls.
"It helps them a lot," Stephenson expressed.
Jones also measured the success based on the
support from small businesses in the area. She admitted that it was difficult to secure sponsorship, admittedly because of the stigma attached to informal settlements. She however heaped praises on those who did pitch in.
"We want to thank
Millbro Taxi Services, Wendy's Wholesale, Gentles Haberdashery, Chuck's Bakery, Big Ben Meats and Grocery, Master Mac, Computer Wizz, and Techno Photo Services," she said, adding that a memebr of the community opened his house so the girls could prepare.
Those who know Jones would know that her philanthropic and community development streaks run deep.
For one, she had a hand in establishing the Almond Tree Learning Centre, a programme which offers classes to children and adults under an almond tree in the community on Saturdays. Stephenson, who assists with the programme, claimed that the centre has trained educators who originated from the community.
Also, Jones has for the last eight years been helping ease the blows of the harsh economy on members of her community by retailing grocery items from her "Ghetto Shop".
According to her, customers can buy as little as $10 worth of toothpaste or ketchup.
"Two hundred dollars can buy your dinner," she told the newspaper.

A moot court competition, a Q & A with retired US Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, and the Miami sun? It all happened at the ABA Forum on Communication Law's 19th annual conference in February.
The conference kicked off with the moot court competition and students gave spirited oral arguments. Yvette Butler and Sara Bell of George Washington University School of Law were the overall winners and they won the "Best Brief" award.
"Taking part in the moot court competition was an experience that I will never forget," said Bell. "The chance to perform oral arguments in front of a distinguished panel of judges and the country's prominent legal minds in this field, as well as to receive individualized feedback and critique, was invaluable as a law student. This competition challenged me to be a better writer and oral advocate, and I am very thankful for the experience."

Man of Steel Trailer.
Looks as it has potential.
Now that's looking good.
Looks interesting.
Alright. Looks awesome.
Thus far, any negative reactions toward this movie seem to be:
The Supersuit - Really? The movie got rid of Superman's red exo-underwear, and that's what's making you mad? Come on... Or hopefully it's just the little designer, texture patterns on the suit. That... I might see people having a problem with. But as iconic as the red undies are, I'm really not going to miss them.
Amy Adams - What's your problem with Amy Adams?
Now, Wonder Woman, she doesn't need covered up like they tried to do fairly recently. Her traditional red, white, blue, and gold, T&A outfit is the only outfit she needs. Having recently watched the unsold Wonder Woman pilot with Adrienne Palicki in the title role (and she made a damn good lookin' Wonder Woman), I was very happy to see her in the more traditional outfit at the end of the pilot...which gave me hope (sadly) for a series that was not to be.
I guess I do have some reservations about the film (notwithstanding that I still don't think Singer's film was that bad).
I'm unclear if Nolan's influence will be a positive or a negative, out of Snyder's CV I only really like Watchmen and I'm not convinced that Cavill is a strong actor having seen him in a few films recently. Which sounds like a lot..............but I also really liked the trailer.
I'm definitely going to see it though.
I liked Superman Returns. I didn't think it was a bad film at all...a few rough spots, but nothing that detracted from enjoying it, especially on the big screen.
God, yes, I can openly state that I actually liked Superman Returns.
Although this movie here... I'm gonna say that at least with the trailer (so I'll reserve final judgement till later) does look like it'll kick Superman Returns ***.
Really, I did like Superman Returns, but they really should have gone with a reboot rather than a sequel.
Mayhap think on it like this? :
Had it not been for Superman Returns (which did so-so at the box office, if I recall correctly), there might not've been a Man of Steel reboot. :)
I will agree with a friend of mine at another forum that Brandon Routh got a raw deal out of this. I thought he did a bang up job carrying Chris Reeves' torch as Superman, and that there were no follow up movies allowing Routh to continue to be everyone's favorite Boy Scout in a cape is sad. He was given the blessing of Reeves' family to portray Clark Kent/Superman.
But, all told, I am stoked to see this movie....but not near as stoked as I am for Star Trek Into Darkness. :)
scene from the trailer I liked
I really liked the scene where the young Clark questions his father as to whether or not he should have just left the kids on that bus to die, and his father answered "maybe". This movie might actually really explore what it would be like to be such an alien living on Earth, and what that must be like for the human father trying to raise him and keep him safe. I have some hope that this might be a good movie.

SAN DIEGO — The husband of a woman whose body was found in a burned house near the U.S.-Mexico border said Tuesday that he knew the man suspected of killing his wife and abducting one or both of their children.
The disclosure came as a manhunt for James Lee DiMaggio, 40, expanded. The San Diego County Sheriff's Department has said DiMaggio and the victim, 44-year-old Christina Anderson, had been in a close, platonic relationship.
Brett Anderson said he knew DiMaggio "very well" but declined to answer further questions as he arrived from out of town to meet with investigators. He did confirm that he had fathered the two missing children — 16-year-old Hannah Anderson and 8-year-old Ethan Anderson.
Brett Anderson said the couple was married but declined to elaborate further on their relationship.
Christina Anderson's father, Christopher Saincome, said he had seen the suspect two or three times through his daughter and described him as a good friend of his son-in-law.
Authorities found Christina Anderson's body on Sunday night in the rural home of DiMaggio in Boulevard, a remote hamlet 65 miles east of San Diego. They also found the remains of a child whose identity and cause of death were undetermined.
It will take two or three days for DNA testing to identify the charred body, sheriff's Lt. Glenn Giannantonio told reporters Tuesday, according to U-T San Diego.
"It is a possibility that the body found in the residence is that of Ethan," he said.
Giannantonio didn't respond to a phone message from The Associated Press.
An Amber Alert advised freeway motorists, television viewers and mobile phone subscribers about a blue Nissan Versa with California license plates that DiMaggio was believed to be driving. The California Highway Patrol said the suspect could be headed to Texas or Canada.
The FBI joined the search and the Amber Alert was later extended to Mexico's Baja California state, which borders Boulevard.

Community Outreach
The FACE Spay Neuter clinic is committed to providing accessible and affordable spay neuter resources, in addition to educating and empowering people to care for their pets. There is a large underserved segment of our community that has no connection to any animal welfare groups or veterinarians.
The FACE clinic seeks to close this "gap" by extending targeted spay/neuter, medical, education and transportation resources beyond the walls of our clinic and into the neighborhoods of greatest need. Our targeted programs will focus on the animals at the greatest risk of being put down in the shelter or abandoned on the street. We will accomplish this through door to door community outreach, partnering with other animal welfare groups, community centers and working with our City government. Without this commitment to aggressive outreach programs, increased funding and resources, this segment of the animal population will continue to be a significant source of shelter intake or left to suffer on the street.
Targeted Programs
Neighborhood Cat Program
Neighborhood Cats, stray and feral cats, are the greatest source of cat overpopulation. They produce 80% of the cats and kittens that flood the City shelter every Spring and Summer.
To combat the number of cats entering Indianapolis shelters, and reduce the number killed there, FACE introduced the Neighborhood Cat Package under the Neighborhood Cat Progam.
FACE's Neighborhood Cat Program (NCP) is designed to help the people who care for and feed outside cats in Marion County neighborhoods care for these cats.
The Neighborhood Cat Package at FACE provides spay/neuter for outdoor, stray and feral cats to prevent those litters of kittens born on the streets.
According to Indianapolis City Ordinance, if you feed outdoor cats in Marion County, they must be fixed, vaccinated, eartipped and registered with IndyFeral. Thankfully, the Neighborhood Cat Program will take care of that for you.
For $20, the FACE Neighborhood Cat Package provides spay/neuter, vaccinations, eartip and flea/tick control for outdoor cats in Marion County. If you live in zip codes 46201, 46203, 46221, 46241 or 46227 the Neighborhood Cat Package package is available at no cost to you.
Through a generous grant from Petsmart Charities, if you live in one of the above mentioned zip codes, FACE will waive the spay/neuter fee for indoor pet cats as well.
Thanks to Spay-Neuter Services of Indiana for supporting the Neighborhood Cat Program.
Feral Freedom Program
The Feral Freedom program is a partnership between Indianapolis Animal Care and Control (IACC) and IndyFeral. The goal of the program is to reduce euthanasia for feral cats that are trapped and brought to the city shelter. Since feral cats are not socialized to people they are not adoption candidates nor appropriate to live indoors. As such their only outcome is euthanasia.
Under Feral Freedom, qualifying feral cats will be matched to a managed colony in their neighborhood and returned to their outdoor home. All cats are neutered, vaccinated and eartipped for identification. Neutering the cats greatly reduces the nuisance/mating behaviors associated with unaltered cats. TNR education and enrollment is also offered to citizens who are trapping and taking cats to IACC as a non-lethal alternative to the trapping and killing of the cats.
Fix-A-Bull Program
Did you know that Indianapolis shelters are made up of more than 50% Pit-Bull or Pit-Bull mix dogs? Of those more than 80% are killed. Many shelters will not even give Pit-Bull a chance to find a home; they are automatically killed. Even with the negative perception of Pit-Bulls, they remain one of the most popular breeds in the country.
Often though, Pit-Bulls are popular for their mystique rather than companionship, so they are often living in the wrong environment. As a result many Pit-Bulls and Pit-Bull mix dogs find themselves in shelters, homeless, unwanted, abused, and/or victims of breed specific restrictions. Many suffer at the hands of people who engage in illegal dog fighting. Josie is a perfect example of a Pit-Bull who nearly died because of the culture that surrounds these dogs. Read Josie's story.
Find additional Pit-Bull information and resources at Indy Pit Crew.
Lend a Hand / Help a Paw Program
This program offers pet food and supplies such as leashes, collars, cat carriers, cat litter, etc. to help families who are in need continue to care for their dogs and cats in their homes. FACE is currently accepting donations for these items during our regularly scheduled hours. Thank you for supporting this program.
Pet Supplies Plus Indianapolis area stores are accepting unopened cat food, cat litter, and other pet supplies to
benefit IndyFeral, a program of FACE.

The concept was very entertaining, but much of the dancing was mediocre. The final pas de deux should have been thrilling. The music soared, but the two dancers seemed leaden.
The young man who played the younger brother was excellent. He made...continued

Apparently he was very close to playing last week. I guess we should assume he made the trip?
If I'm the coach - I'm keeping the Vikes guessing either way.
If I was the coach I would sit Bowers until the Raiders game 10 days from now.
How is it that T-Zizzle and Bowers both got the same injury around the same time.. Suggs is back but we haven't heard a peep from Bowers...any words on this guy?
Wouldve been nice to see Bowers out there, but whats the purpose?? Why rush him in a week or so early and risk causing a more serious career threatening injury. And how much did playing Suggs really matter when the team got routed?

Fraudulent attack on Heartland Institute exposes Alarmist desperation
Sometimes it is interesting to let a story play out for a couple of day to see what's what. A couple of days ago I noticed a story on a blog which supports the Goresqe AGW nonsense with a story headlined "Heartland Insider Exposes Institutes Budget and Strategy".
Listed under the story are a number of documents which Desmog Blog claims to be from an email package sent to contributing members of the Heartland Institute.
I sent the link to Jim Lakely, an old friend and communications director at Heartland. I've known Jim for years and wondered if he'd seen the story at the link.
He wrote back quickly saying "yes" he'd seen it and it appears that one of the documents is a fake.
That's about the time I decided to sit back and watch while taking the time to read the documents for myself. For most of them, nothing was particularly surprising and certainly there was nothing particularly damning. If you're familiar with the Institute, everything mentioned in the documents was pretty well known except perhaps some of the donor information Desmog chose to expose. Obviously it was too important in their opinion to release the information quickly (apparently they released it within hours of getting it) and to heck with privacy concerns. These are the "bad guys" for heaven sake. They don't deserve the same rights or respect Desmog would most likely demand for themselves. After all, they take money from the Koch brothers.
But to the fake document. You can see it here.
What was missing from this collection of documents was something really damning. Something Desmog and their ilk could point too and condemn the Heartland Institute.
Well, conveniently, there was this "confidential memo" which fit the bill perfectly. It made statements like this:
Development of our "Global Warming Curriculum for K-12 Classrooms" project [emphasis original].
Principals and teachers are heavily biased toward the alarmist perspective. To counter this we are considering launching an effort to develop alternative materials for K-12 classrooms. We are pursuing a proposal from Dr. David Wojick to produce a global warming curriculum for K-12 schools. Dr. Wojick is a consultant with the Office of Scientific and Technical Information at the U.S. Department of Energy in the area of information and communication science. His effort will focus on providing curriculum that shows that the topic of climate change is controversial and uncertain – two key points that are effective at dissuading teachers from teaching science. [emphasis mine]
After reading that, you're supposed to believe that the dastardly Heartland Institute is against teaching science and, of course the further implication is that AGW is "science" while the skeptical side is anti-science. Of course that belies the fact that the Heartland sponsored climate conference this year, open to everyone, was billed as "returning the scientific method" to climate science, not abandoning it.
And can you imagine pitching "dissuading teachers from teaching science" to donors who have previously sponsored your effort to get the complete science out there?
Warren Meyer comments at Forbes:
For those of us at least somewhat inside the tent of the skeptic community, particularly the science-based ones Heartland has supported in the past, the goal of "dissuading teachers from teaching science" is a total disconnect. I have never had any skeptic in even the most private of conversations even hint at such a goal. The skeptic view is that science education vis a vis climate and other environmental matters tends to be shallow, or one-sided, or politicized — in other words broken in some way and needing repair. In this way, most every prominent skeptic that works even a bit in the science/data end of things believes him or herself to be supporting, helping, and fixing science. In fact, many skeptics believe that the continued positive reception of catastrophic global warming theory is a function of the general scientific illiteracy of Americans and points to a need for more and better science education.
Is the Heartland Institute developing such a curriculum? Yes. Is it designed to point out that the topic is "controversial and uncertain" and therefor be used to dissuade teachers from teaching "science". Hardly … what's the point in developing the curriculum then?
In fact the curriculum is designed to present those parts of the science of climate change that don't fit or contradict the faith based nonsense being taught and pushed by the alarmist side. You know, the "inconvenient truths". Controversy and uncertainty have and always will be a part of science, but certainly nothing which would stop it from being taught. This Rather-gateish attempt is the left trying to discredit an institution which has mounted a threat and is actually taking action against its alarmist creed.
Why do I compare it to Rather-gate? Two reasons. One, the fake doc. Heartland acknowledged the authenticity of all the documents but one. That document, it unequivocally stated, was a fake:
One document, titled "Confidential Memo: 2012 Heartland Climate Strategy," is a total fake apparently intended to defame and discredit The Heartland Institute. It was not written by anyone associated with The Heartland Institute. It does not express Heartland's goals, plans, or tactics. It contains several obvious and gross misstatements of fact. [emphasis original]
Check out Anthony Watt's analysis here. You'll see some Rather-gate like problems with the document. Then read Megan McArdle's (who, btw, is not a skeptic) total destruction of the memo.
Finally, again to compare it to Rather-gate, at least one journalist has decided to cool it for the moment, given the document that is the most damning is said to be fake. Heartland is pleased with that, however Warren Meyer made a little bet at the end of his Forbes piece:
If the strategy memo turns out to be fake as I believe it to be, I am starting the countdown now for the Dan-Rather-esque "fake but accurate" defense of the memo — ie, "Well, sure, the actual document was faked but we all know it represents what these deniers are really thinking." This has become a mainstay of post-modern debate, where facts matter less than having the politically correct position.
Andrew Revkin, the journalist in question, has indeed backed off for the moment, but:
Is Revkin himself seeking to win my fake-but-accurate race? When presented with the fact that he may have published a fake memo, Revkin wrote:
looking back, it could well be something that was created as a way to assemble the core points in the batch of related docs.
It sounds like he is saying that while the memo is faked, it may have been someones attempt to summarize real Heartland documents. Fake but accurate! By the way, I don't think he has any basis for this supposition, as no other documents have come to light with stuff like "we need to stop teachers from teaching science."
Expect to see the argument that the document does indeed expose "the core points" when, in fact, it does nothing of the sort, but instead implies things not in evidence in order to discredit the Heartland Institute and characterize it as an activist organization instead of a think tank. What this attack essentially says to me is that Heartland has finally achieved the level of "threat" to the AGW crowd.
Some things never change.
Well, except the climate.

ICCC6 Livestream
This is some good stuff folks. If you're interested in the debate, you need to tune into the livestream of the conference. Just heard a great debate between Dr. Scott Denning and Dr. Roy Spencer on climate change. I was happy to hear some representation of the other side, although I'd have difficulty classifying Dr. Denning as an "alarmist" (he's a scientist who thinks there's adequate evidence that humans are having a decided effect on climate – but his main area of research is CO2 and how it interact with our climate so I'm inclined to take him much more seriously than a, say, Al Gore).
Spencer made a point that is important to absorb. If a tree has an effect on climate (and it does) then so do humans. The debate isn't about whether humans are having an effect, it is about the degree – if any- of that effect.
Anyway, if you have the time, hit the livestream link. And at some point you should be able to see an archive of the debate.

At the climate conference
Well I've managed to make it to ICCC6, which has the theme of "Restoring the Scientific Method".
I've discussed that, in previous posts on the subject of climate change. Anyone who has followed this discussion is aware of the fact that I don't believe the scientific method has been used well at all in advancing the alarmist message. And of course, "consensus" has absolutely no place in discussions of science.
Anyway, on with the show. To answer Huxley's question, I'd say this is mostly a skeptic's conference. We'll see how it proceeds.

The Heartland Institute's International Conference on Climate Change
I'm really looking forward to attending this event put on by my good friend Jim Lakely and the Heartland Institute. I'll be able to about the science that argues against the alarmist view of global warming from people I've been reading for years. I hope to be able to interview some of them. The theme this year is "Restoring the Scientific Method", which is sorely needed among the purveyors of alarmism. Anyway, here's how the event shapes up:
Sen. James Inhofe, R-OK, among the most prominent critics of global warming alarmism in Congress, will kick off The Heartland Institute's sixth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC-6) with a breakfast keynote address at 8 a.m. June 30.
(If you can't make it in person, Heartland will live-stream the entire conference. Tweet coverage: #ICCC6)
Inhofe will be joined at the Marriott Wardman Park in Washington, DC by dozens of state and federal legislators and climate scientists who dispute the claim that "the science is settled" on the causes, consequences, and policy implications of climate change.
Past climate conferences have taken place in New York City, Chicago, Washington DC, and Sydney, Australia and have attracted more than 2,000 participants from 20 countries. The proceedings have been covered by ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox News, the BBC, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Le Monde, and many other leading media outlets.
ICCC-6 will feature presentations by more than two dozen scientists, economists, and elected officials commenting on the latest research on the causes, consequences, and policy implications of climate change. Click here for an updated conference schedule. Our line-up of speakers includes:
- Timothy Ball, Ph.D., environmental consultant and former climatology professor at the University of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. He was recently sued for libel by Michael Mann, a professor and prominent figure in the Climategate scandal.
- Alan Carlin, Ph.D., former senior analyst and manager at the EPA. In March 2009 he authored a highly critical internal review of the EPA's draft report on endangerment from greenhouse gases, which led him to become a whistle-blower.
- Robert Carter, Hon. FRSNZ, research professor at James Cook University (Queensland, Australia), where he was head of the School of Earth Sciences between 1981 and 1999. He is author of Climate: The Counter Consensus.
- Scott Denning, Ph.D., professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University. Denning, who believes in man-caused global warming, spoke at ICCC-4 in 2010 and profusely thanked the organizers and attendees for a respectful, stimulating conference. (See this video.)
- Christopher Horner, J.D., senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and author of Red Hot Lies: How Global Warming Alarmists Use Threats, Fraud and Deception to Keep You Misinformed.
- Harrison Schmitt, Ph.D., former astronaut and U.S. Senator from New Mexico and the last man to set foot on the moon. Schmitt earned his Ph.D. in geology from Harvard University and is a member of Heartland's Board of Directors.
- S. Fred Singer, Ph.D., founder and president of the Science and Environmental Policy Project, is coauthor of Unstoppable Global Warming: Every 1500 Years and Climate Change Reconsidered and professor emeritus of environmental sciences at the University of Virginia.
- Roy W. Spencer, Ph.D., principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, where he directs a variety of climate research projects. He is the author of several books, including most recently, The Great Global Warming Blunder.
- Anthony Watts, a 25-year broadcast meteorology veteran and currently chief meteorologist for KPAY-AM radio. He hosts the popular climate change blog Wattsupwiththat.com and a Web site at surfacestations.org devoted to photographing and documenting the quality of weather stations across the U.S.
Past ICCCs have featured presentations by members of Congress, the president of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus, and scientists who view themselves as "skeptics" as well as "alarmists."
The theme of ICCC-6, Restoring the Scientific Method, acknowledges the fact that claims of scientific certainty and predictions of climate catastrophes are based on post-normal science, which substitutes claims of consensus for the scientific method. This choice has had terrible consequences for science and society. Abandoning the scientific method led to the Climategate scandal and the errors and abuses of peer review by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

As you might imagine, for the next few days, most of what I blog about will have to do with the subject that I've followed closely for years and is of extreme interest to me. Any questions that you might have are welcome. I'll actually have two days to get them answered this time vs. the hour I had with Dr. Kissinger, so I should be able to put them too most of the players there. I've talked with Horner before during an interview on WRKO. I've read Singer and Spencer's stuff for years and have also haunted Anthony Watts site at certain times to read or find explanations to the latest attempt by the alarmists on one subject or another.

Heartland Institute's "Freedom Pub"
Jim Lakely, a former Washington Times journalist who has been a good friend of QandO from the beginning, is now with the Heartland Institute and is the "bartender" and host at the libertarian think-tank's "Freedom Pub". The Pub opened for business yesterday.
As Jim describes it:
It's friendly place where those who value liberty and honor the Founders' vision of America can gather together and express themselves.
It's a group-blog community where you can sign on and have your own page and keep up with others who share your views. I've signed up (anything to get the word out) and will probably do some crossposting of QandO posts there.
Give it a look and if you're so inclined sign up and contribute. If Jim's in charge, I can promise you it will be a worthwhile endeavor.

PRESTATYN Town will find themselves at a crossroads this summer when it comes to looking towards next season, believes football director Neil Gibson.
The Seasiders have just enjoyed the best of their three campaigns to date in the Welsh Premier League, finishing fifth in the table and reaching the Europa League play-off final only to lose out to Neath.
Now the long-serving Gibson feels the club has to think long and hard about its next move.
"We've progressed every season since we joined the Welsh Premier," pointed out the man who has led the team to 15th, eighth and fifth positions over the past three seasons.
"The top four clubs this season have all qualified for Europe; we finished fifth and just missed out. We have to look at things and say 'where do we go from here'?
"Do we want to break into that top four and look to compete in Europe every season or do we feel satisfied with what we've achieved and stay as we are?
"The turnout of our fans at Neath on Saturday was excellent, but generally our home crowds this season have been low.
"We need to look at ways of attracting bigger attendances and if we are to progress as a club we must ask the question can we sustain ourselves at that level with the crowds we've been getting?"
Gibson praised his players for an outstanding campaign in which they recorded three wins in six league and cup meetings with Welsh Premier champions Bangor City and gave all the other top sides problems, although they did not quite manage to break their duck against The New Saints and Llanelli.
In a season which saw Rhyl stunningly absent from the WPL over a technicality, Prestatyn, for so long the poor relations of Denbighshire coast football, have taken up the gauntlet and done their part of the world proud.
"It's been a long, tough season and these players have worked so hard for the club," added Gibson.
"The spirit in the dressing room has been tremendous and carried us to many a victory.
"I'm completely proud of my players. That's why we took a full squad of 21 players to Neath on Saturday; we've done everything this season as a squad and that's how we approached our biggest game."

ODU Sociology Professor Lee Bouvier Dies
Lee Bouvier, a longtime adjunct faculty member in the Department of Sociology and Criminal Justice, died Wednesday, Jan. 26, at the age of 88. Bouvier, of Norfolk, led a colorful life that included work as a jazz musician, professor, scholar, internationally known demographer and former vice president of the Population Reference Bureau.
He came out of retirement in 2000 to teach at ODU and worked at the university for more than 10 years. Charles Wilson, interim dean of the College of Arts and Letters, described him as dedicated to both his students and his discipline. "He was a beloved teacher, becoming one of the most popular instructors in the department, indeed in the university," said Wilson.
During his tenure at ODU, Bouvier was a widely sought-after demographer and expert on the U.S. Census. He was quoted and appeared on the front page of The New York Times (April 17, 2001) in a story about the changing face of suburbs in the United States. Randy Gainey, chair of the sociology and criminal justice department, described Bouvier as a student's teacher who cared immensely about the success of each student.
At the age of 16 and known then as Lee Francis, he left school to begin a 20-year career as a trumpeter in leading jazz bands along the East Coast. It wasn't until the age of 34, married with four small children, that he entered Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala. in 1957, earning a bachelor's degree in history and sociology. In 1964, he received a master's from Brown University.
Following his education, Bouvier went on to teach at six colleges, including Georgetown University and Tulane University's School of Public Health. From 1981-87, he served as director of research and vice president of the Population Reference Bureau (Washington, D.C.); demographic adviser to the Select Committee on Population, U.S. House of Representatives; and as a member of the Select Commission on Immigration and Refugee Policy.
During his career, Bouvier presented guest lectures and workshops at nearly 30 other universities across the country. He was the author of more than 60 articles and 18 books. His most recent work was titled "Press Population and Society: An Introduction to Demography," published by Cambridge University.
Bouvier is survived by four children, eight grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.

Cordele -- Non-profit agencies in Crisp and Dooly Counties are competing for federal money to help them do their jobs better. The Georgia Empowerment Zone, a group that provides financial assistance to non-profits, received a $500,000 compassion grant from the federal government. They're looking for a few good companies to aid.
The St. Paul/Gillespie-Selden Learning Center is a jewel in Cordele. Once an African-American Secondary school, it now serves as a day care and after school center for low to moderate income families.
"We do have some computers but they are in disrepair," says the center's director Erskine Weaver.
It is one of several non-profit agencies hoping to get part of a $500,000 grant awarded to the Georgia Empowerment Zone.
"What were hoping to do is provide up to date reading materials for these kids."
We took a tour of the center. It gives preference to parents who are trying to finish school or low income parents working to make ends meet.
Because of the high demand, the center wants to expand to a 24 hour facility.
"Some of them {parents} have even had to give up those jobs because they haven't been able to find anyone to give night care so to speak."
There are several needs here that all require money.
"Anytime we can get additional money to put back into the community that will address those needs, were really doing good for the community," says Joseph Brown with the Georgia Empowerment Zone.
His office is working with the Department of Health and Human Services to decide who will get a piece of the pie. They're looking at several factors.
"How well the plan is put together, how much its going to actually benefit the residents of the county."
These bright eyes and warm smiles at the daycare center are hoping some of the money comes there way.
"It will be a boost to what were trying to do," Weaver says.
As they providing a much needed service to families trying to get on their feet.
If you work for a non-profit agency in Crisp or Dooly County, it's not too late to apply for the money. You can contact the Georgia Empowerment Zone at (229) 268-7592.

Cairo- There's a battle over motocross facilities being waged in Grady County.
Professional motocross racers like Josh Woods aren't scared of heights. But they are scared that they won't be able to practice correctly at facilities in Grady County. "I'm making a living doing this. And this is what I train for. And I work during the week just like any other professional athlete," he says.
Track operators are battling with the people who live around the facilities about their noise levels. "The noise variance that we would like to see is an increase from the 75 decibel peak," says track owner Raymond Woods.
The tracks' neighbors want the county to quiet the bikes even more. But the operators say that could be dangerous to professional riders who need to practice like they race. "The performance of these bikes depends on being able to exhaust at the rate they do. And that's going to require a little bit louder than the 75 dB," says Woods.
Track operators say that if riders can't train properly, they'll go elsewhere, something that would be a huge loss to Grady County. They say these facilities are major contributors to the economy. "We deal with probably 12 to 14 different accounts we have within the area that deal with plumbing, electrical services, building supplies," says Woods.
Most of the operators say they're willing to compromise with their neighbors. But until the dust settles, the pros are begging both sides to just let them ride. "It gives me a place to go and do the training that I need to do to get where I need to be to race at that level," says Josh Woods. It's a battle over noise that could end up being heard in a courtroom.
The people who oppose the noise variances had their chance to speak last night. They were heard during a commissioner's meeting at the Grady County courthouse. The main courtroom was full to the point that some people were even standing in the hallway.
The meeting was not to vote or make a decision on the variances, but to simply hear the arguments. People opposed to the motocross mostly say that the noise causes their property values to drop. "A small increase in decibels represents a great increase in intensity. The sound intensity multiplies by 10," says Janet Sumner.
Some people argued that they work overnights, and the tracks don't let them get any sleep during the day. Others say the noise is so annoying that it takes away from family gatherings, yard work, and even simple relaxation.

It's the weekend! Let's play a little game for fun and to keep my mind distracted.
Would you rather…
1. Run a race in the heat or the cold rain?
If you have been reading for any amount of time you know 100% I would run in the cold rain. Me and the heat aren't friends.
My ideal temperature to race in would be low 40's with cloud cover and no wind! Hear that Mother Nature?
2. Run intervals or a tempo run?
Tempo! Although I have my days where I love the track, nothing makes me feel like a good tempo run.
3. Run on dirt or pavement?
I definitely run on pavement more, a lot for convenience sake, but those dirt single track trails have been calling my name!
4. Run with friends or alone?
I can't pick, I love them both! Nothing like having friends to run with, but sometimes a run alone is the best thing ever.
5. Run with music or without music?
Most runs I would say without it, but tempo runs I like having some fast music to get me going.
6. Run an ultra-marathon or do a triathlon?
I will stick to spectating triathlons for now… I have had my eye on an ultra-marathon for a long time though! One of these days!
Hope you are having a great weekend!
A week from today I will be meeting up with SO MANY bloggers! Seriously going to be the meet ups of all meet ups, I am so excited to meet so many friends!
