Exidos into 2nd round of Trelawny KO
BUNKERS HILL, Trelawny — Former Western Confederation Super League campaigners Exidos So Fresh and Spicy Hill will meet at Bunkers Hill this afternoon as they seek to join four others qualifiers in the second round of the Trelawny/Patrick Atkinson KO.
The competition kicked off on Saturday and so far, Clarks Town, All-Stars, Classic United and Kinloss FC have advanced and will be in the draw for the second round.
On Sunday, President's Cup KO champions Classic United beat Lorrimers All-Stars, 4-1, on penalty kicks after ending 2-2 after regulation and extra time, while Kinloss beat Invaders, 2-0.
Nicholas Dixon in the 57th minute and an own-goal in the 80th gave Kinloss the edge over Invaders.
Lorrimers got the lead over Classic United when Glenroy Hutchinson scored in the 22nd, but Zelester Austin levelled the scores in the 35th, then Tamaro Williams shot them into the lead in the 70th.
The lead lasted all of one minute before Kevaughn Hutchinson brought Lorrimers back level and the teams were forced to decide the game via penalties after failing to add to the scoreline.
Flames and Duanvale will meet on Thursday at Sea-Road in Duncans.

Megan Prokett
Statement of Candidacy
Hello, my name is Megan Prokott and I am running for Freshman Representative. I am very passionate about the Unified Student Government Association and I would love to be involved in a representative position. In order to represent one's peers, it is important to form a personal connection and understanding with them. By understanding the people I am trying to represent as a Loyola student, I can help our school to build a community that will provide a better experience for all future ramblers. As a very social person, I love to meet others and it is very important to me that I can relate to the people I would represent.
I also have extensive experience as a leader. In high school I was a captain of the varsity cross country team, the varsity ski team, and the junior varsity lacrosse team. Being a leader for the cross country team entailed organization and being a role model for the younger members of the team. Leadership on the ski team was a different experience with different responsibilities. Often, being a captain involved being a stand in coach, which taught me a lot about communicating with people and respecting power. As a lacrosse captain, it was important for me to keep team moral up in times of defeat. This was a very important skill to learn and optimism translates directly into almost all aspects of personal and professional life.
Another experience in my life that I think will really benefit me as a candidate is my experience in National Honors Society. I realize that in order to represent people, I have to learn how to help them. NHS helped me do this because of the forty hours of mandatory volunteer work. Volunteering is an important experience to relate to one's peers and this is something that will help me as I run for Freshman Representative. I hope all my experiences will help me to help Loyola University Chicago, whether or not I am elected.

COX-1 Important in Autoimmune Arthritis
Prostaglandins are mediators that contribute to the onset and progression of pathologic inflammation. High concentrations of various prostaglandins are present in the joint fluid of people with rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory joint diseases.
Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes are necessary for the production of prostaglandins. Traditionally, COX-1 has been considered to be involved in a wide variety of bodily functions, whereas COX-2 has been considered the main contributor of prostaglandin synthesis associated with inflammation. Classic nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) block the production of both COX-1 and COX-2. These drugs help reduce inflammation, but they can also have effects throughout the body, most notably in the gastrointestinal tract. NSAIDs that specifically block COX-2 were developed, and these proved to be safer for the stomach, but they had unexpected effects on the cardiovascular system.
What Problem Was Studied?
To clarify the roles of prostaglandins and COX enzymes in inflammatory arthritis, and to understand how COX inhibitors can be used to treat the disease, a series of experiments was developed using a mouse model of inflammatory arthritis. Arthritis Foundation-funded scientists Mei Chen, MD, PhD, Eric Boilard, PhD, and David M. Lee, MD, PhD, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School in Boston, and their colleagues examined the contribution of prostaglandins to both the induction and perpetuation of arthritis in these mice.
What Was Done in the Study?
The serum (liquid portion of blood) from arthritic mice was administered to other mice, in which arthritis was then induced. Prostaglandin levels in the joints of those mice were determined. A potent inhibitor of both COX-1 and COX-2 was administered to some mice before arthritis provocation and to some mice after arthritis had developed. Mice that were genetically altered to be unable to produce the COX-1 enzyme were administered the serum; likewise, mice that were unable to produce the COX-2 enzyme were administered the serum. Medications that specifically inhibited COX-1 or COX-2 were given to the mice before and after the induction of arthritis.
What Were the Study Results?
The study showed that prostaglandins definitely contribute to joint inflammation in this particular model of inflammatory arthritis. This was proven by the fact that by giving the mice a potent NSAID that blocks prostaglandin synthesis, arthritis would not develop. The experiment using genetically altered mice proved that COX-1 was primarily responsible for the prostaglandin synthesis that led to joint inflammation. This finding was further supported with the experiments using chemicals that specifically inhibited COX-1 or COX-2. The scientists determined that in this particular model of inflammatory arthritis, COX-1 was necessary for the initiation and continuation of arthritis and COX-2 was dispensable.
In studying the prostaglandin levels in the joints during the various experiments, the research team determined that perhaps prostacyclin derived from the action of the COX-1 enzyme is related to joint inflammation, but that prostacyclin derived from the action of the COX-2 enzyme is not. Prostacyclin is a prostaglandin that is active in the cardiovascular system.
What Does This Mean for People With Arthritis?
In the big picture, the results of this study indicate that the way scientists have been looking at prostaglandins, COX enzymes and the development of inflammation may have been slightly off. Their findings indicate that inflammatory arthritis may proceed via multiple, interacting pathways of prostaglandin synthesis, and that different COX enzymes are active in different pathways.
Because blocking the production of prostacyclin derived from COX-2 has been associated with cardiovascular risk, the research team hypothesizes, "Sparing COX-2–dependent prostacyclin production may confer cardiovascular protection to arthritis patients, a population with demonstrated increased cardiovascular risk."
The team further concludes, "The identification of predominant roles for COX-1 and discrete prostaglandin species suggests that antagonism of specific prostaglandin species may be an effective therapeutic strategy if it can be achieved without the limiting toxicity that has thus far plagued the use of such inhibitors clinically."
Chen M, Boilard E, Nigrovic PA, et al. Predominance of cyclooxygenase 1 over cyclooxygenase 2 in the generation of proinflammatory prostaglandins in autoantibody-driven K/BxN serum-transfer arthritis. Arthritis Rheum 2008;58:1354-65.

An interview with:
THE MODERATOR: Eddie, if you could talk about Alabama as they enter the SEC Championship game on Saturday against Georgia?
EDDIE LACY: We basically are going to have the same mindset we've been having all year. We know it's going to be a tough opponent on both sides of the ball and on special teams as well. So we just have to come out and prepare the same way we've been preparing and expect a dog fight.
Q. I don't know how much you've seen of Georgia, but they've got two freshmen running backs. Both of these teams with you and T.J., and Georgia with Gurley and Marshall, can you talk about them? Do they seem comparable to you, as far as the tailback tandems from Saturday?
EDDIE LACY: I don't know too much about them. I don't watch football that much. I hear they're pretty good running backs, but our defense prides themselves on playing against good offensive opponents. So, you know, it's a challenge for our defense, the same way for me and T.J., it will be a challenge. We're just going to come out and take the challenge?
Q. The fact that you and T.J. rotate, how fresh do you feel in this game? Do you all come into this game pretty fresh?
EDDIE LACY: Yeah, we're a lot fresher than we would be if we were taking 20, 25‑plus carries a game. You know, the rotation we have helps out a lot in that department.
Q. How much do you guys consider where this game takes you in your motivation this week knowing that if you win, you play for a title? Does that factor in much at all this week?
EDDIE LACY: It factors in, but for us to get there, we have to focus on this week. So all our time and preparation is focused on this week because if we don't win this week, it doesn't matter. We're just going in taking it one game at a time.
Q. When you look at the Georgia defense, the three‑four, what do you think about it? Is it comparable to maybe a defense you run against this year?
EDDIE LACY: Now they get talented defensively. It's going to be a great challenge for our offense. The offensive line and running backs as well. We're going to watch film, and work on what we have to work on, and hopefully we'll be able to win.
Q. You mentioned your offensive line. Can you tell me what it's like to run behind them and how you see them as the season has gone on?
EDDIE LACY: Running with the offensive line, it's one of the best offensive lines I've ever ran with. I have a great group of guys. They come out, prepare hard, practice hard, and play even harder. They give us the holes that we need and they also hold up in pass protection which gives the quarterback enough time to pass. They're the best offensive line I've ever run with. I love each and every one of them.
Q. When you look at Georgia's defensive front, how do they compare to what you've seen this year already on your schedule? In terms of that, they have some big size at the nose guard spot?
EDDIE LACY: They're big and physical, but most defensive linemen are in this conference. So as far as the challenge of the offensive line, there shouldn't be anything different to come out and play like we always do.
THE MODERATOR: While we wait on some questions, can you just talk about your squad as you head into Atlanta this weekend versus Georgia?
DEE MILLINER: Very excited. It's a great accomplishment for our team to be in the SEC Championship game. We're just trying to come out, compete and be aggressive. Hopefully we can come out with the win on Saturday.
Q. Do you think this week will raise the profile of the reputation of your league even more? It doesn't even matter at this point externally, but it matters in recruiting after all the SEC has done in the last six years, do you think people even look at this anymore?
DEE MILLINER: I think it can help us a lot. Seeing two great teams in the game, and the way that we know we're going to come out and have to compete on both sides of the ball. It can help us out in a lot of ways. Just to show the physical way we play is probably different from the other conferences.
Q. You look at Aaron Murray and the Georgia receivers there and I think the top quarterback in the country in passing efficiency, and the Georgia receivers are having good games down the stretch here. What kind of challenge is that going to be for the Crimson Tide secondary?
DEE MILLINER: It's going to be very challenging. The different things that Aaron does back there throwing the ball and running it. The receivers are doing a great job of connecting with him lately. Just got to be able to lock in and focus on what we can do to keep being stable on our offense. To try to stop them for the most part.
But it's going to be a hard task because of the type of game it's going to be. We know it's going to be a competitive, physical game, and they're going to try to be aggressive, and they're going to try to keep that to a minimum.
Q. I don't know how far you are into study of Georgia and how much you've seen on TV, but how much does Georgia's offense remind you of the one you see in practice? The two quarterbacks are pretty efficient. Both teams have good tailback tandems. Are there a lot of similarities in these two offenses that will be on the field Saturday?
DEE MILLINER: Yeah, you could say that because we both are balanced running and throwing the ball. We've got two great quarterbacks with high pass efficiency. So you could say that in a way to try to come out with us on defense, and try to stop them with the run and try to just keep their passes to a minimum, hopefully we can do a good job of containing them.
Q. I know you all are number one in scoring defense and total defense. The two close games that you have with LSU and Texas A&M, I know they were both went over 400 yards. How much of that was the opponents and how much was mistakes that maybe you've fixed since then?
DEE MILLINER: It was great plays by the offense. The team we played made great plays, but we could have done a better job of containing them and doing better on our end also.
Since then we've been trying to focus in on the smaller things that we can do better to prevent those big plays and the things they were doing on offense.
Q. I know last year was an odd situation where the national title game was another SEC game, basically. But when a team makes the SEC Championship, is there a feeling that it is a National Championship in most years or do you acknowledge that next step afterwards?
DEE MILLINER: We take every game that we play as a real big game, because it's the next game on our schedule. But this game, the SEC Championship, it's a big game for us. It gives us a chance to win in the SEC going against a great team in Georgia, which is going to be a competitive game, aggressive. But we try to focus in on each game. We know this game is big, because it can help us out getting to the next game. We're just trying to focus in on this one game and do the most that we can do to help ourselves out.
Q. You guys as a defense are ranked number one in the country, despite losing all the talent you did off last year's defense. Is it a simple matter of having a bunch of four‑star, five‑star elite guys. Is it Coach Saban and Coach Smart's defense? What is it?
DEE MILLINER: It's just a lot of guys that are buying into what we're trying to do here. The standards that have been set around here, And the guys are doing the little things and playing the roles like they're supposed to. Also the coaches, it always goes back to the coaches doing a great job of teaching us and helping us learn the things that we need to do so we can have a great team each year.
Q. Is that something that comes from being in a place that has great defense, is there motivation to be just as good as the one before you?
DEE MILLINER: Oh, yeah, always. When you play with a team that has a great defense or had a great defense before you got here, you want to keep the standard going each year to keep the reputation going each year you come in.
THE MODERATOR: C.J., could you talk about your team as you enter the game this weekend?
C.J. MOSLEY: We just come into this game treating it like it's the next week. We've got to make sure we stay folk under the circumstanced and don't worry about the small stuff and all the media and things like that. We've got to focus on our job and our game plan.
Q. I apologize to go off the subject a little bit, but this is a guy you face this year. Do you think Johnny Manziel deserves to win the Heisman Trophy?
C.J. MOSLEY: I can't really speak on that. I can't focus on how he did throughout the whole season. He had a great game against us. He did what he had to do to come out with a win against us. Overall he's a great player, but I'm not really focused on that right now.
Q. When you look at the two Georgia freshmen running backs, real physical, good speed and everything, have you all faced anybody like that this year? Is it going to really be a challenge to try to slow down those guys?
C.J. MOSLEY: We haven't really faced a team that has a one‑two punch like that. That's one reason Georgia's offense is pretty explosive. Then again, we're going against two great running backs each day in practice, so we have to use that to our advantage and make sure we do our best to try to contain those guys.
Q. Kind of a follow‑up to that, like you said, you both have good tailback tandems, efficient quarterbacks, both had receivers that have overcome injuries, how similar are these? When you start studying Georgia, do you see a lot of similarities between Georgia and Alabama this season?
C.J. MOSLEY: Yes, there are a lot of similarities. The have the type of football they play, and we have ours. When it comes Saturday, it's going to come down to who executes the best and eliminates the most mistakes in the game.
Q. How confident are you in your defense? The fact that both LSU and Texas A&M got over 400 yards, do you think y'all have learned from that and moved on? Just kind of talk about that and the fact that y'all give over 400 to those guys?
C.J. MOSLEY: Those two games, we knew and the coaches knew and they told us that the defense, as far as the defensive standpoint, we didn't play our best. We know we didn't. We made over 70 or 80 mental errors in that game, and that's really not us. Those games happened for a reason. They got those type of yards and plays for a reason.
So after that loss, we kind of got back to the basics of doing what we have to do. Just doing the little things we do every day in practice, wrapping up, tackles, foot work, once you lose sight of those things, that's when the big plays start to happen.
Q. Georgia has a three‑four defense and has gotten better over the last few years doing that. You guys have the three‑four, and number one defense in the country after losing so many guys. Is there something about this system that kind of works?
C.J. MOSLEY: Yeah, it's a great system. But you have to have great players and players that are willing to work and willing to do the right thing and execute their jobs for the system to work. The D‑line have to hold blocks and get certain guys, the linebackers have to play their role and stopping the run and the pass. You have to depend on and believe in the secondary to defend a pass when we're blitzing and rushing. So overall, it's a great defense. But we have to make sure we have guys that are very comfortable and committed to doing their job.
Q. I know you haven't played Georgia as a program since 2008. But when they were coming on as a defense and just getting ready to play this year, I know you only worry about the Georgia offense, but do you ever look at what a defense like Georgia is doing?
C.J. MOSLEY: I've done some comparisons between our defenses because we do some of the same style, some of the same things. But overall we've got to focus on what the offense is going to do. We've got to trust and believe our offense is going to do their job and be accountable to making their plays when they can against their defense.
Q. How valuable have the seniors been on this team to sort of navigate you guys through some things that you had to go through? Especially guys like Robert and Barrett and Damion who are fifth year seniors?
C.J. MOSLEY: It's great. As I've been here, I've seen those guys step up more and more as a leader. Every week we have a Thursday thing when the leadership gets up and really just they've been through this situation. They've been in the championship. They've been to the SEC Championship. They've won; they've lost. So this is going to bring more experience to the younger guys and me too because this is my first SEC Championship game. But we've got to treat this game like it's another game. We've got to prepare right, and have the same amount of I days in practice just like we had in the last ten games that we played.
Q. You talked about treating it like it's another game. How's that even possible when you consider the stakes on Saturday and what comes after that if you win? How's it possible to treat it like another game?
C.J. MOSLEY: Just having been accountable and having the right mindset. Why I try to do so much more for the last game if you didn't do it the first 10 games. If that's the case, we weren't getting off from the git‑go. We have to make sure everybody's doing the right things and staying focused and blocking out all the small

Brazil v Mexico – Olympic Final
POSTED: 9 August 2012
Brazil v Mexico – Olympic Final
So we've reached the final of the Olympic soccer event and to many it's no great shock to see Brazil get there as they were favourites to win the Gold Medal pre-tournament. They did however get a bit of a scare in the quarters in their game against Honduras who despite being down to 9men come the end of the game ran them close, with the Brazilians edging it 3-2.
Mexico have been hot and cold in that they've scraped through some games, yet been impressive in others.
While I hate going the 'easy' route, I simply can't look past Brazil as they simply have more strength in depth than the Mexicans. While anything can happen in a one-game final I can't help but think it won't be a matter of will they win, but more by how many!
One thing I do have to note is the reference to the under-23 tournament, yet each squad could have three over-age players. I mean come on, is it Under-23's or not?
Verdict – Brazil Win (& on -1.0 handicap as well at 1.96)

Thieves steal laptops from Haslingden firm
5:00pm Saturday 5th April 2014 in News By Sophia Rahman, Reporter
THIEVES stole £1,500 of laptops and £300 in cash from businesses in Haslingden.
The offenders broke in to Unit 2 of Carrs Industrial Estate in Haslingden, which houses three firms, by forcing open a double glazed window on the ground floor.
The burglars then searched the offices, collecting IT equipment, petty cash, and a debit card as they went.
A Lancashire Police spokesman said: "Officers are investigating the incident. CSI have carried out forensic procedures and officers are looking at CCTV for evidence.
"Anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious should call police on 101."
The incident happened between 4.30pm on Tuesday and 7.30am on Wednesday.

No .1 pick Kyrie Irving compared extensively to....Brandon Roy?
ESPN's David Thorpe breaks down Kyrie Irving's game, and compares him to Brandon Roy in several facets of his game. While understand his thinking, I personally don't see the connection "When watching Irving on tape, I see a player who looks like Brandon Roy with better natural playmaking skills. I mean the All-Star Roy with healthy knees, not the guy who is fighting his knees most nights and can't move anywhere close to the way he used to on every possession. A healthy Roy used his strong body, great balance and crafty ball-handling to create shots for himself and others. He was a solid perimeter shooter and a devastating mid-range guy, with a true talent for finishing in the paint but away from the rim"

Obama's 'All the Choices We've Made Have Been the Right Ones' Remark Absent at Gatekeepers AP, NYT
Concerning President Obama, his obviously most important quote of the past 48 hours is his statement to ABC's Jake Tapper (transcript here) that concerning the economy, "I believe all the choices we've made have been the right ones ..."
Clearly, such a remark, if widely known, would be problematic for the President among quite a number of unemployed and underemployed Americans. In the New Media age, of course, it can't be kept totally under wraps, but at the two organizations which still consider themselves the nation's news gatekeepers, Obama's statement apparently hasn't made the cut. Consider it the latest installment in what might as well be dubbed, "Operation Protect the President."
At the Associated Press's main site, a search on "Obama choices" (not in quotes) returns nothing relevant.
A Google News search on [Obama "choices we've made" "associated press"] (input exactly as indicated between brackets) comes up empty.
At the New York Times, a search on [Obama "choices we've made"] (input exactly as indicated between brackets) comes up completely empty. Widening the search to "Obama choices" (not in quotes) returns nothing relevant.
At least the gatekeepers can't shut out things they don't want to relay like they used to. A Google News search on the full quote entered with quote marks ("I believe all the choices we've made have been the right ones"; sorted by date, with duplicates) returns 12 items. Although one of them is from Tapper's Political Punch Blog at ABC News where Devin Dwyer teased the interview Tuesday afternoon, the Tapper interview itself is not in the results (a glitch, perhaps?). A Google Web search on the full quote entered with quote marks (past week only, sorted by date, including similar items) returns 412 results.
Nonetheless, the failure by the Associated Press and the New York Times to inform its readers and, in the AP's case, its subscribing listeners and viewers is quite derelict -- and, sadly, quite typical. Also concerning the AP, which should consider renaming itself "The Administration's Press," the determination to ensure that the relatively disengaged don't hear anything unsettling about the president seems pretty obvious.
It really isn't even necessarly to note that a Republican or conservative president making such a statement would be getting blanket and perhaps mocking coverage from the self-appointed gatekeepers. But I will anyway.

I shudder to think how many times I would have been raped or murdered if that Stimulus hadn't passed.
Please pass more and more Stimuluses, Mr' President, because Joe Biden says there's going to be more and more murderers and rapists out there if you don't.
And please send some money to those women on Shawn's computer so they can have some clothes.

I also took strong notice of his Fast and Furious answer..................he READ ABOUT IT IN THE PAPER!!!! And so did Hold-um!!

This incredibly moronic comment that only a total fool would
Submitted by no tingly legs on Thu, 10/20/2011 - 10:41am.
believe, i.e. a liberal, reminds me of when the fruit of the loom bomber almost brought down that Northwest Airlines flight bound for Detroit. Only a failed detonator saved that plane. Yet Janet Incompetano had the incredible gall to say "the system worked" in reference to the band of goons (Thousands Standing Around) that she mismanages. I guess they figure that the best defense is a good offense, but I don't think the 80 or under IQ crowd that believe this swill is a really big demographic that's worth pursuing.

Feature Request – View Unbumped Stream
Is there a way to have 2 streams?
One would be the bumped stream, the other would be the unbumped stream. I guess the toggle button could be to the left of the tabs for "All Members", "My friends", "My Groups", etc.
I can see the bumped stream helping existing conversations continue, while the unbumped stream would be more for helping new conversations begin.

So I'm watching Fight Network and they have Gatti vs Millett on, but more importantly for my case, they had Leija vs Ward. I found this fight controversial, and think it's worth throwing into discussion my suspicions. I googled a few things, but couldn't find any discussions about this...
1) The cut does not seem to be caused by a headbutt, but if it was, it was Leija that caused it.
2) The corner of Leija doesn't really put any care into the cut, they seem to let it get bigger and bigger without putting any gunk in it like you typically see.
3) The fight was stopped in the 5th, moments after it being a No Contest.
5) Isn't the ref of that fight the guy that's the son or relative of someone in the WBC or Texas Commission?
So what do you think? Were Leija, his team, the ref, the Texas Commission in on the scam the whole time? Or was it just bad luck?

So in lieu of bringing back common carrier rules for telcos and cable companies, the Web companies began pushing for net neutrality regulations as the next-best solution. Broadly speaking, net neutrality is the principle that ISPs should not be allowed to block or degrade Internet traffic from their competitors in order to speed up their own. The major telcos have uniformly opposed net neutrality by arguing that such government intervention would take away ISPs' incentives to upgrade their networks, thus stalling the widespread deployment of broadband Internet.
Results: As far as Google is concerned, so far, so good. Last fall FCC chairman Julius Genachowski proposed two new rules to commission policy that would bar carriers from blocking or degrading lawful Web traffic and that would force carriers to be more open about their traffic management practices. The battle isn't yet over, however, as both Verizon and AT&T have been actively fighting final commission approval of the two rules. The carriers have argued that restricting their ability to favor certain content and to create tiered services would take away their financial incentives to invest in network upgrades. Additionally, the carriers have successfully lobbied several politicians, including Arizona Sen. John McCain, to try to block the FCC's proposed net neutrality rules before they are even voted on by the commission.
Initiative #2: Android and the Google Nexus One
The Android operating system and the Nexus One smartphone are both part of Google's vision of having wireless devices that aren't tied down to any particular network. In other words, Google wants users to eventually be able to take their favorite devices with them from one carrier to another without having to buy a whole new device.
The first part of implementing this vision came in 2007, when Google unveiled its long-awaited Android open-source mobile operating system. At the time of the platform's release, Google said it wanted Android to be a starting point for spurring innovation in developing mobile applications that would give users the same experience surfing the Web on their phone as they currently have on their desktop computers. In the two-plus years since its debut, Android has landed on several high-profile devices, including the Motorola Droid, the HTC myTouch 3G and the Samsung Moment. Now that the Motorola Backflip has debuted on AT&T's network, all four major carriers in the United States now support Android-based devices.
But while Android phones clearly generated a lot of market hype over the past two years, they have also largely been tied to exclusivity agreements that make their use dependent on individual carriers. With this in mind, Google late last year launched its own Nexus One smartphone, which will run on both the T-Mobile and Verizon networks. The Nexus One doesn't, however, mark any intention by Google to get heavily involved in the handset market. Rather, the company is using the Nexus One as a showcase for the Android platform's potential when running on a device that has the most cutting-edge hardware and software available on the market.

Tropical storm Nadine moving toward to the Caribbean
KINGSTON, Jamaica - Forecasters have predicted that Tropical storm Nadine could became a hurricane by Thursday with a projected movement towards the Caribbean.
In a news briefing this morning, the US National Hurricane Centre reported that Nadine is organising herself and strengthening. As a result, that increased strength and better formation could prompt an upgrade in hurricane status. In a news statement, the NHC said "additional strengthen is forecast during the next forty-eight hours". Because of the increased intensity, "Nadine could become a hurricane by Thursday or Thursday night."
According to forecasters, the storm would not reach land until at least next week. Officials indicate that Nadine is fostering a "gradual turn toward the northwest and a slower forward speed".
The NHC said that this shift and speed should remain in place throughout the weekend.
But Nadine is not moving particularly slow. Compared to hurricanes last week exhibiting five mph speeds, Nadine was moving triple that speed, at 17 mph this morning.
Despite that, no coastal watches or warnings are yet in effect.

In January, Alki hosted a panel of service providers from various agencies around the city, to discuss the barriers faced by homeless families, and the local services and struggles in Seattle and King County.
(The video they use at the beginning can be found here.)
About Alki UCC
We are an open and affirming community: we believe that no matter who you are or where you are on life's journey — no matter what race, gender, sexual orientation, class or creed — we all belong to God and to one worldwide community of faith. Therefore our pews are filled with a diversity of people from all walks of life, different denominations, orientations and beliefs. Yet we find ourselves "as One," a deeply spiritual community that is actively seeking the path that God has called us to follow: to take care of one another and this earth with love and compassion, to be tolerant and open to each others' experiences, to speak out for justice, and to serve the needs of those less fortunate.
Before we consider any program at Alki UCC we ask: Does it fulfill our mission? "Growing together as disciples of Jesus Christ, courageously sharing God's love with each other and the world." Our process of discernment will be applied to this project to ensure whatever we embark upon fulfills our mission as a faith community. The discernment reveals the path that God has called us to follow, and in its process we are drawn closer together in faith formation with one another. If the education programs are successful, by finding our voice and thus our power to speak truth to injustice, those small victories can and will deeply bond our faith community which in turn motivates us to do more. Yet all of this will be for naught if we don't take it out to the wider community to affect real change in "…sharing God's love with each other and the world."

Daily Mountain Eagle
A local tavern owner and political activist on Monday urged Jasper officials to reconsider the stringency of the city's new smoking ordinance during a Council work session held at Jasper City Hall.
Carla Stricklan, the proprietor of Legg's Hideaway, a lounge located on 17 Street West in downtown Jasper, said the law passed in October that prohibits smoking in indoor public places located within the city limits is putting her out of business.
"This is all I've got," Stricklan said about the business she has owned and operated for 16 years. "Before this happened, I was ordering anywhere from $800-1,000 a week just in Budweiser." Stricklan said she required less than $400 in Budweiser to replenish her stock last week.
"I can't survive like that," Stricklan said. "I'm begging you guys to help me."
Stricklan pointed out that no one under the age of 21 is allowed into her establishment. "There are no children that come in there. We're all grown adults," she said.
Stricklan estimated that 95 percent of her customers are smokers.
Mayor Sonny Posey said city officials "are trying to equalize the playing field." He added that he was not currently at liberty to elaborate on what city action was being taken. However, he added that some of Stricklan's competitors have "ignored" the smoking ordinance, allowing their patrons to continue to light up. On Friday, he said Jasper police "took care of that matter."
According to Rowe, a citation will be given on Friday to Midnight Special, a nightclub on Birmingham Highway where patrons were smoking despite the new law.
Council President Sandi Sudduth told Stricklan, "We don't want anyone to lose their business." However she added "Amending or changing the ordinance is not going to happen right now."
Also speaking out on the smoking ordinance Monday was Bill Cleghorn, who is currently collecting signatures to a petition that he hopes will put the smoking issue to a city-wide vote.
Cleghorn objects to the wording of the ordinance as it pertains to private clubs and non-profit associations. Cleghorn also is against provisions of the ordinance related to motels. "I don't see where Jasper needs to be in the motel business," he said.
Cleghorn added he is concerned the smoking ordinance could cost the city "a lot of jobs" because of decreased tourism.
"You need to have this city set up as a tourist attraction instead of running people out. If word gets out you can't smoke in Jasper, they're not going to stop," he said.
Sudduth asked Cleghorn to give the city's attorney Russ Robertson time to analyze Cleghorn's recommended amendments to the city's smoking ordinance that was passed by a 3-2 vote on Oct. 4.
The Jasper City Council will hold its next work session at 4:30 p.m. next Tuesday at Jasper City Hall.

What Is the Difference between Unfinished and Prefinished Wood Flooring? August 22, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Hardwood / Laminate , add a comment
When you begin shopping for new wood flooring for your home, you'll run into a lot of different terms for the types of flooring available. One of these is unfinished versus prefinished flooring. The unfinished option is often cheaper than the prefinished floors, which may make you wonder which is better – are you getting a bargain with the unfinished, or is the prefinished really worth it? It helps to know more about both types of flooring before you make your decision to ensure you choose the right option for you.
Unfinished Floors
For many years unfinished floor planks were the only choice available. These floors need to be stained and finished as part of the installation process, often being sealed with some type of polyurethane coating to protect them and help ensure that they last. This means that while the floorboards may be slightly cheaper to purchase, you end up paying more for installation because they take longer to install, require more effort and need additional materials.
Due to the finishing process, you cannot walk on unfinished floorboards for several days, which often makes them the better choice for new homes, rather than existing ones where families currently live.
Prefinished Floors
Prefinished floors have a factory-applied finish coat already on them when purchased. This explains the slightly higher price than unfinished flooring. They are faster to install than unfinished floors, and can be walked on right away, which makes them the better choice for existing homes. Because the polyurethane has already dried and cured when you receive them, the floors release fewer VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) into your home as well.
Prefinished flooring that comes from a reputable, quality manufacturer has an even, extremely-durable finish that often holds up longer than unfinished wood flooring. This can help ensure a longer lasting floor and potentially a longer manufacturer's warranty against defects.
Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have about your wood flooring! The staff at My Big Bob's is happy to help you with questions about existing or future flooring needs.
Floor Tile Patterns for Kitchens August 14, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Kitchen , add a comment
Tile patterns make your kitchen floor come alive and take shape in ways that can complete your kitchen design. Depending on the tile you are using and what style of kitchen you're creating, you can find a tile pattern that helps add the detail you need.
Tile Patterns for Traditional Kitchens
If you have a traditional kitchen, whether it's formal or Country, a patterned floor can really add a level of interest that dresses up the whole room. Consider one of these patterns for the space:
Versailles Pattern: The Versailles pattern makes use of five different sizes of tile in rectangles and squares. It repeats itself over and over again and works best with natural stone and oversized tiles.
Cut Corners: By cutting the corners of your tiles where they meet, you can install an accent tile to dress up the floor. You can cut one corner per four tiles, two corners per four tiles, or all four corners on all four tiles. Accents can be made of decorative tiles, or by using a contrasting color.
Tile Patterns for Transitional Kitchens
The transitional kitchen is one of the more popular types of designs blending traditional and modern elements together. Try one of these patterns to fit the space:
Step Pattern: The step pattern uses two sizes of tile, but unlike the cut corner pattern all the tiles are left whole. Instead, the small tile is positioned at the upper edge of the larger tile so it "steps off" as it moves across the room.
Herringbone: Herringbone patterns traditionally have been made using mosaics or 3×6 brick shaped tiles. Update the look by using 12×24 inch tiles in a herringbone pattern for a new twist on a traditional idea.
Tile Patterns for Modern Kitchens
Modern kitchens can still use patterns to bring some interest to the floor. Try one of these for a contemporary look:
Stacked Pattern: Rather than using a traditional off-set or herringbone pattern with rectangular tiles, try stacking them in rows. Use oversized tiles for the most modern look and create clean lines on the floor.
Strapping: With tiles coming in 1-inch by 24-inch lengths as well as 24-inch squares, consider strapping your tiles on the floor. Choose a 1-inch wide tile in a contrasting color to the main field and wrap each large tile in a thin strap of color for contrast.
No matter what your decision, the staff at Big Bob's is happy to help you through the entire process!
Floor Styles For Various Home Tastes August 4, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Design and Decorating , add a comment
Choosing your home flooring is one of the most crucial decisions you will make when renovating your house. Three important factors to keep in mind is maintaining a fluid design style, being mindful of your family's lifestyle and ensuring you can afford not only the initial investment but also the long term maintenance costs. Below we have broken down types of flooring for each home style as well as the cost associated with maintaining each one.
The Modern Home
Many modern homes feature sleek innovative flooring ideas ranging from concrete to other alternative surfaces. For the minimalist, concrete is a popular option as it is quite versatile. It can be polished to a shine or be stamped to create a faux wood finish. Concrete is also very economical, is fairly low maintenance and quite durable. A more sustainable alternative is rubber flooring, which is easy to maintain and can provide good insulation.
Cabin Home
Ideally a cabin home usually features wood flooring throughout. A great way to bring the outdoors inside is to utilize native woods, such as mahogany in Florida or pine in Colorado. Reclaimed wood from older buildings is another wondrful choice for the environmentally conscious or budget minded homeowner. Maintenance for wood flooring is fairly high as upkeep includes constantly rebuffing to erase scuffs and scrapes as well as refilling gaps between the floorboards. Despite this, wood floors are a strong investment as they are offer good insulation, are hypoallergenic and have a low environmental impact.
Seaside Escape
At your seaside home, it is imperative to have flooring that is both water resistant and protects against the corrosive sea air. Based on this, many homeowners go with wood flooring. However, alternative materials such as bamboo are becoming popular in ocean homes. Bamboo flooring is an ideal choice as it waterproof, sustainable, very durable and has anti-bacterial properties.
Family homes
Family home flooring must be budget friendly, easily maintained and durable since many family activities often occur within its walls. As a result, most homeowners tend to use various floor types throughout the house. Bedrooms may have wood flooring to utilize it's hypo allergic properties, stairs may be carpeted in order to cope with the high foot traffic area and the kitchen may be tiled to take advantage of the flooring's waterproof properties. Those who live with pets must be conscious to select flooring that can resist scratches and scuffs. Carpet and tile are great choices for these homeowners.
Remember, selecting your home's style and perfect flooring is a fun and creative process. Being mindful of your needs and choices can make the experience delightful. My Big Bob's Flooring Outlet has a staff ready to answer any questions you may have on the subject. Feel free to ask!

Bringing Home a Dog Soon? July 12, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Kids , add a comment
A new addition to the family is a great event. No matter if this new pet is a young puppy or a dog that has grown a bit, both the new dog and everyone in the home will fare better if your home is prepared before the four-legged homecoming. Here are a few tips on making your home ready for Rover.
Make a quick list
Before heading out for the shopping, a list is your best way to ensure that nothing is forgotten and you won't need to make multiple trips. This is a list of general items that will be useful for your new companion, although each dog will have a few specialized needs.
- A crate sized appropriately for your new friend (don't forget that they will grow!)
- Bedding such as a dog mat or dog bed
- Chew toys made for your dog's breed and size
- Food and treats – consult your vet on the right choices here
- Dished for food and water – make sure these are the right size!
- Leash and collar
- ID tags – talk to your vet about these as well
- Baggies for collect and disposing of dog waste
- Dog brush
- Cleaners made for pet accidents
Pet Accidents
Preparing for the inevitable is a part of pet ownership. Adjusting to new routines, new locations and new owners can take a toll on the habits of even the best-trained animal. Keeping cleaners handy that are made for these inevitabilities will make the accidents a little easier to handle. Vacuum more frequently to keep pet hair from becoming a problem and always use products that are made for pet stains and are approved by your carpet manufacturer.
Take the Time to Play
The responsibilities of having a new pet can seem like a lot to handle. This is a great way for kids to learn and grow alongside their new friend. But pet ownership is not all work! Dogs and kids both need plenty of exercise and it is beautiful when they can do this together. Backyard romping and family walks are a wonderful way for the whole family to interact with the new dog and become more active as well.
Taking care of a few jobs with your new dog will pay off for a long time to come. Remember that dog is man's best friend for a reason!

Summer-ready place setting ideas June 24, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Kitchen , add a comment
Whether you are throwing a dinner party al fresco or having the girls over to celebrate an upcoming wedding or new baby, summer is the perfect time of year to entertain friends and family at home. If you cook and entertain a lot, you may already have the appetizers, main course and dessert figured out. But there's still the table setting. Here are some tips for the tablescape and summer-ready ideas for personalized place settings.
Floral theme
Cover the table with a clean white tablecloth. Then, for each guest, assemble a mini floral arrangement in a clear glass jar or mini globe-style vase. Paint a strip of chalkboard paint on each jar and write the guest's name on dried paint. In the center of the table add a larger version of the mini flower arrangements.
Sunshine theme
The color yellow screams summertime, so let that be your inspiration for this table setting idea. Place a large vase of various yellow flowers in the center of the table; perhaps a mix of yellow peonies, tulips and billy buttons. Then place two or three smaller vases of the same flowers on each side of the table. Adorn the table with bright yellow napkins and gray place cards with each guest's name.
Garden theme
If you are growing herbs in your garden, this is a perfect way to use up any extra bounty. Tie mini bouquets of fresh herbs with twine and wrap in brown paper. You can use a paper bag, cut into large squares. Write each guest's name on the brown paper. Pair with green napkins and small vases of herbs scattered on the table.
Summer candlelight theme
If you have a long outdoor or indoor dining table, this idea will look beautiful. Place a neutral runner down the length of the table. Alternate white votive candles with mini vases holding 1 to 2 flowers down the center of the table. Add floral-inspired napkins on clean white plates with silver flatware.
Host Your Own Shrimp Boil June 19, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Kitchen , add a comment
The summer entertaining season is here and if you are looking for fun ideas to entertain friends and family at home, check out this guide for throwing a shrimp boil. This is a classic summer party that you can throw for any size crowd. It's a great way to show off your landscaped backyard or freshly painted kitchen. Read on for tips and recipes for a classic low country shrimp boil.
To feed about 4-6 people, you will need about two pounds of large shrimp (15-18 count). You will also need six ears of corn cleaned and halved. Start with 5-6 quarts of water in a large, heavy pot. Add ¾ cup of Old Bay Seafood Seasoning with the juice from three lemons, one halved head of garlic, and two quartered onions. Cover and bring to a boil. Add a pound or a pound and a half of small red potatoes and cook for about 10 minutes. Then add the corn and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Finally, add the cleaned shrimps and cook until just pink. Drain the vegetables and shrimp and arrange in the center of the table or counter for family-style serving. Garnish with freshly chopped flat leaf parsley. Serve side dishes of clarified butter and lemon wedges.
Setting the table
Because guests will be eating directly from the table, you do not need to set a formal table. Simply line the table or counter with a disposable tablecloth. Set up a small station of plates and silverware and heavy napkins nearby. Folks can use their hands or tongs to serve themselves veggies and shrimp. Place a large party bucket with sodas and beer covered in ice next to the plates.
It's always fun to make your own invitations and for a party like a shrimp boil, you can be pretty creative. Cut out shrimp-shaped pale pink paper and corn on the cob-shaped yellow paper and paste onto sturdy card stock. Handwrite or stencil in "You're Invited" on the front of the card and inside write down all the details and RSVP information. Mail or deliver the invites–your guests will love the personal touch!
Easily Add Texture to Your Floors with Carpets June 18, 2014Posted by creatingyourspace in : Carpet , add a comment
Carpets can be expensive so you want to be sure to choose the right kind that last for a long while. One of the important considerations to keep in minds is the style of the room. Creating emphasis on the flooring might not be necessary if the walls, ceiling, furniture and décor are already making bold statements. Light patterns, simple shapes and textures, and neutral colors can be good choices.
Bare rooms, on the other hand, need vibrant hues and loud patterns that add visual interest and liven up the area. The carpet can either be the main focal point or a supplementary accent that highlights another object. If two or more carpets are being used in close proximity, the colors and patterns should complement each other – otherwise, no sense of harmony can be achieved.
Aside from providing aesthetic value, carpets can define the boundaries of a space. It can subtly mark hallway transitions from semi-public to private areas.
In dining areas, the table and the chairs can be set upon carpet. To determine its ideal size, simply adding 30 inches to each side of the table dimensions for chairs with arms will help ensure that the carpet is not too big or too small. A room can be visually widened by installing carpets or rugs that leave the edges of the floor bare. To find out the size of the carpet suitable for the area, around three feet of length and width can be subtracted from the total room dimension.
In high traffic areas such as the living area and the hallways, the likelihood of spilled food, drink and other messes are much more likely. Likewise, in homes with children and pets, carpets can be easily damaged. Stain-resistant carpets are ideal for such areas. Also, carpet tiles, as opposed to long continuous loop carpets, come in smaller sizes that are easier to remove and replace. Darker colors are favored as light colored ones can easily show the effects of wear and tear.
Carpets with accent colors that match the walls have more impact. Alternatively, the walls can be painted to match the carpet. For a cozier look, shades of red, orange and yellow are preferable.
For those with pets, the carpet may also be matched with the fur of the animals, especially if they are the type to shed regularly. By coordinating the colors, fur will not be very visible on the floor and your pet will even complement the style of the room.
Carpets can be a good addition to a home as they can add a bit of sophistication to the space but still feel comfortable on the feet. Once you have chosen the right one, it can greatly enhance the look of the room.
