A special needs student at L.D. Bell High School in Hurst will have a day to remember after taking home the title of homecoming king.
Cerebral palsy put senior Chris Ramsey in a wheelchair. But the only thing that slows him down is his chair's top speed.
And on Friday afternoon his friends and classmates lifted him up. Chris won the crown out of a field of 60 and then six finalists.
"I'm feeling good, it's just a little overwhelming," he said.
Yolanda Ramsey said she and her son were both ready for whatever happened. He was prepared to be happy for whoever won.
"He doesn't let his ability define who he is and he always says that any kid with a disability can do whatever they want to do if they put their mind to it. And, I let him know you can. You can do whatever you want to do," she said.
Ryan Mitchell couldn't have been more excited for his friend. He said Chris is the reason the football team plays, fights and wins.
"Chris has been my brother for four and a half years and I love him more than anything else. There is no one who deserves this more," he said.

WARREN COUNTY, MS (WLBT) - One man is in custody after robbing a bank and leading sheriff's deputies on a high speed chase in Warren County.
Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace says 45-Year-Old Derrick Collins was arrested on Highway 27 south of Vicksburg.
Pace says Collins robbed the Britton and Koontz Bank on Highway 61 north at 11:30 am, then fled south in a white minivan.
Investigators say Collins threatened a teller with bodily harm before fleeing with the money.
An eyewitness gave deputies a description of Collins vehicle and they gave chase.
Deputies in pursuit, used stop-sticks to slow the van to make their arrest.
Collins is from Warren County. His criminal history was not known at the time of his arrest. The money taken was recovered, but no weapon was found.

Gross domestic Product - GDP - is the most used aggregate within national accounts. GDP estimated from production side shows how value added is distributed by activities and sectors. GDP estimated from expenditure side shows consumption expenditure, gross capital formation and foreign trade. Quarterly national accounts are published 60 days after the reference period. Quarterly estimates are based on less detailed information than the annual estimates, which are published after 23 months. Please observe that constant prices are based on chained indices with different weights each year. Estimates in constant prices are therefore only additive for the reference year and the immediate following year.
Real sector accounts are also published at the same time as the other estimates. They contain information on income, expenditure and saving for households, government, financial and non-financial corporations and the rest of the world.
Financial accounts are also part of the national accounts. The financial accounts show transactions and stocks of financial assets and liabilities and savings by sector. They are published about 90 days after the reference period. www.scb.se/FM0103-en
Government deficit and debt are also reported to the European Commission twice a year within the so called Excessive Deficit Procedure (EDP). EDP are published after the ordinary national accounts. Therefore late revisions in the dataset could be included in EDP which render differences compared to the ordinary national accounts. www.scb.se/NR0108-en

President picked for Bennington CollegeJune 27,2013The Associated Press
BENNINGTON — An educator from Arizona State University will become the next president of Bennington College, the small Vermont school that claims to be the first to include visual and performing arts as part of a liberal arts education.
Mariko Silver will succeed Elizabeth Coleman, who is retiring at the end of the month after 25 years at Bennington.
At Arizona State, Silver was a senior adviser to President Michael Crow. She designed and led campus, community, and international initiatives focused on student engagement and accomplishment on cutting-edge science, and on economic development.
Silver also served in the Obama administration as acting assistant secretary for International Affairs and deputy assistant secretary for international policy of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. She also served as a policy adviser to Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, with responsibility for the state's public and private universities, community colleges, and vocational institutions.
Silver received a bachelor's degree from Yale University and a doctorate in economic geography from the University of California at Los Angeles.
"She has an extraordinary intellectual and imaginative vitality, an outstanding track record, and a deep commitment to the College's pedagogic traditions and values," said Alan Kornberg, the chairman of the Bennington Board of Trustees. "Dr. Silver's appointment also signals Bennington's ambitions to expand the influence of the College's founding ideals and contemporary practices in a world that is rapidly changing, that is simultaneously fragmented and interconnected, and that is, in every dimension, increasingly complex and global."
During her years at Bennington Coleman oversaw the college's greatest growth period in its history. The institution has raised more than $175 million and constructed six buildings in her 25 years and had an all-time high enrollment of nearly 700 undergraduates and 136 graduate students in the last academic year.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER The contractor working on Vermonts health insurance exchange has issued a report...

WARREN, Ohio - A Valley attorney wants the Trumbull Children Services Board to submit to an investigation into alleged sexual abuse of minors by a former CSB employee.
Attorney David Engler says he will file suit in state court against CSB and a dorm mother at the facility who allegedly "groomed" three children, who are now adults, to be her sexual assault victims.
Tim Schaffner, the current director of Trumbull County CSB, says the allegations were already investigated by police, and 31 witnesses interviewed.
He says if there is new information, it should be presented to police detectives.

Bull and Bear – an optimistic and pessimistic view of investment news. Today's stories: The reinvention machine: a new Blackberry emerges from the prickles. Mortgage approvals and house prices continue upwards march. China set to pass the crossroads. Toyota in another US car recall. China offers to meet Japan half-way. Companies in the news: Imperial Tobacco, Renishaw, United Utilities
The reinvention machine: a new Blackberry emerges from the prickles
Reinvention is a risky thing for sure, but sometimes it is even more risky not to try it.
Some are good at it. Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane and the Thin White Duke or –as some prefer to call these three individuals – David Bowie show what can be done. Madonna was pretty good at re-invention too. But is Blackberry another Bowie?
Not only has the company launched a new product designed to be more iPhone than the iPhone, but it has changed its name. No longer is it called Research in Machines, no longer can we refer to it as RIM; instead the company is now plain old Blackberry.
The reviewers seem pretty impressed with the company's new products. The new Z10 and the Blackberry 10 operating system have the blogosphere buzzing. And the new phone doesn't even have a keyboard.
Some reviewers have been raving; others have been saying the product is good but not spectacular. Maybe if the company had launched this product 24 months ago, it would be vying with Apple and Samsung for market leadership. But it didn't and alas it isn't.
It would be great to see the company pull it off, and, who knows, maybe it will. The odds are stacked against it, however. Good as the new phone appears to be, it is just one of many in a crowded market place.
The company fell victim to innovators' dilemma several years ago, and has been playing catch-up ever since.
Maybe Blackberry will emerge as one of the winners, as might Nokia, or indeed Microsoft. But all three companies were caught napping and they lost their edge, and now they are pretty much competing on an open playing field.
Sometimes masters of re-invention get it wrong; even Bowie fell victim to this with his single 'The Laughing Gnome'. But he got away with it.
Will Blackberry?
Mortgage approvals and house prices continue upwards march
So that's five months on the trot. Mortgages approvals were up in December, as they were in August, September, October and November – at least that's what data from the Bank of England says.
It's been quite a rally, although it may be worth noting that the total value of mortgage approvals in December was £12.6 billion. In December 2011 the figures was £12.5 billion, so actually – while the last five months has been encouraging – it's hardly the stuff of a runaway boom.
According to the latest credit conditions survey, the average interest rate on a mortgage is down too, from 3.82 per cent in June to 3.65 per cent.
Meanwhile, the Nationwide recorded 0.5 per cent rise in house prices in January, and over the last 12 months the market was flat, with prices neither rising nor falling.
Robert Gardner, Nationwide's Chief Economist, said: "While activity in the housing market remains muted by historic standards, there have been tentative signs of a pick up in activity in recent months. The Funding for Lending Scheme has achieved some success in bringing down mortgage rates, with some signs of a pick up in lending activity. Hopefully, the momentum will continue to build in the months ahead, though much will depend on whether the wider economic environment improves."
Matthew Pointon, Property Economist at Capital Economics, said: "2013 may bring better news for the housing market. But there is no guarantee that they will, and the bigger picture remains that house prices still look very overvalued."
China set to pass the crossroads
Crossroads can be interesting places. Apparently, and this is surely a true story, rock'n'roll was invented after Robert Johnson met the devil on the intersection of highways 49 and 61 in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where he sold his soul in exchange for being transformed from the the worst to the best guitarist in the world.
China, according to the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR), is also at a crossroads, and this time the soul of a nation may be at stake.
NIESR has taken a look at China. It is at a crossroads it said and: "some commentators are revisiting debates about the sustainability of China's economic growth." It asked: "Is this justified?"
The answer came back: "No." The argument goes that: "The burgeoning middle-classes offer new opportunities to China's producers, sending them up the value chain to produce goods and services that an ever-more sophisticated consumer base demands. This can only be good news for China, provided they keep wage-push inflation in check whilst satisfying the demands of workers for better working and living conditions."
According to Alex Bryson, Principal Research Fellow at NIESR: "China is special. Contrary to popular opinion, its political system fosters explosive economic dynamism and experimentation. It's often accused of having 'weak institutions' by those in the West who haven't taken the time to try to understand the economic revolution that has been going on in China for 30 years. Political challenges remain, there's no doubt about that, and the natural environment is taking a battering in some parts of China. The distribution of wealth does not reflect the efforts put in by workers, particularly migrant workers. But there are things the West can learn from China economically. We hope to spend more time and energy examining China's economy in the coming years."
Toyota in another US car recall
Toyota is number one again. It has shaken off all those woes from a couple of years back to become the world's largest automaker. And true to form, just as it reaches the top, it has another one of those disasters – a million cars are being recalled in the US.
Poor old Toyota, why can't it get this right?
Or maybe it can. Look at this from another point of view.
Actually, the fact that Toyota is recalling cars is no big deal. All the car makers do it. What is interesting is that the US media should think that it is news.
Ever since GM was toppled from the top spot in the world car league there has been this constant stream of bad press from the US that appears to be contrived at helping GM back to its former glory.
The thing is that virtually all of the major manufacturers (including the Germans) carry out recalls for faults on a fairly regular basis.
There is a website in the US that logs every recall a manufacturer makes – click here - – it is easy to search for Toyota because they sell most of their cars under the one brand. On the other hand you can't search for GM because they sell lots of different brands and you have to know what they are to find out how many recalls they have carried out.
There is a similar database in the UK – click here – the curious thing is that you actually can find 'General Motors' in the list of manufacturers!
Is it a conspiracy? Well, probably not a deliberate one. It probably has more to do with national psyche. While the Brits like to find fault with all things British, other nationalities have a quite different approach, and love to find fault with all things not American (in the case of America), or, say, not French in the case of France.
China offers to meet Japan half-way
As has been suggested here before, the dispute between China and Japan over the Senkaku/Diaoyu islands is more serious that you possible imagine from the scant publicity given to the dispute in the UK media.
But take some re-assurance from this article in the 'China Daily'. It quotes Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei as saying China is willing to meet Japan "half-way."
Meanwhile, Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said earlier this week that it was necessary to "re-establish the relationship, starting with a summit."
China's government responded saying it was necessary for Japan to first "create conditions" for improving strained relations. It's progress, of sorts. See China Daily,
Beijing hopes to meet Tokyo 'halfway' in spat
By the way, it is interesting to note the 'China Daily's' use of the word "spat" to describe the dispute. Since the paper is often thought of as a voice piece for China's government, is this a deliberate attempt to down-play the crisis?
Companies in the news
In today's 'Telegraph' Questor took a look at Imperial Tobacco, and said "buy." Revenues are below expectations, the firm is cost cutting, and shares are down. But Questor saw this as an opportunity, saying: "the so-called 'sin investments' will continue to prove a lucrative home for your cash."
Meanwhile, Tempus at the 'Times' reviewed Renishaw, which make precision tooling which enjoys 28 per cent of revenue from Asia. Tempus said: "if you are prepared to take a long view and disregard further price gyrations, they look like good value."
Finally, United Utilities also came under Tempus's stare. And once again, to complete a hat-trick of bullishness today, it gave the company a positive report. It was the safe yield that Tempus liked.
These views and comments are those of the author alone and do not necessarily reflect the view of The Share Centre, its officers and employees

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Myrtle Beach Police arrested a 33-year-old woman at an apartment building on Pinegrove Drive for attempted murder, according to a police report from the Myrtle Beach Police Department.
Officers say when they responded to the apartment Monday morning, they spoke to Amber Sunshine Manning, who said, "I heard voices and I stabbed her."
The victim, Manning's mother, said she was sleeping in her bed when Manning stabbed her in the back and said "I'm going to kill you," according to the police report.
Officers said the victim had a small laceration on the upper portion of her back, and was taken to the hospital.
After Manning was read her rights, she requested a lawyer before saying anything else to law enforcement.

Toyota May Join the Diesel Pickup Fray
Beginning next year, the light-duty pickup market is going to be even more intensively competitive than it already is, as major automakers deploy new weapons to fight for every bit of market share. Ford's (NYSE:F) aluminum F-150 has been well publicized, while Ram's (FIATY.PK) 1500 EcoDiesel currently holds the record for fuel efficiency for the segment, with an impressive 28 mile per gallon EPA highway rating.
But for 2016, a Toyota (NYSE:TM) Tundra and renewed Nissan (NSANY.PK) Titan will be making buyers' choices more difficult (the latter vehicle, however, is slated for the 2015 model year), as each will come with the option of a 5-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine, reportedly boasting more than 300 horsepower and 500 pound-feet of torque. Both trucks will use the same unit, Auto Guide reports.
That's noticeably more than the Ram's 240 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but it will be interesting to see where the new units fall as far as efficiency is concerned. It's clear that the Cummins power plant is aimed more at bridging the gap between light-duty and heavy-duty pickups, rather than the gap between smaller midsize pickups like Toyota's Tacoma and the light-duties.
However, diesel is making inroads in the smaller segment, too, led by General Motors' (NYSE:GM) forthcoming GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado. Like the Titan and the Tundra, the diesel variants will be hitting showrooms for the 2016 model year. Nissan recently teased a diesel-powered Frontier at the Chicago Auto Show, but that's a ways off if it gets the green light.

Colonel Nguyen Van Kim, Deputy Chief of Police in the southern province of Dong Nai on September 23 said at a press brief that police are investigating the incident in which a captain shot dead his superior in Suoi Tre Traffic Control Station.
Answering questions, Senior Lieutenant-Colonel Tran Tien Dat said the case is under investigation and the police have sealed off the scene of the incident but activities in the station will take place normally.

Colonel Nguyen Van Kim said that police officers in Suoi Tre Traffic Control Station heard the guns bang in a room at 5pm on September 22. They ran towards the room and saw that Major Tran Ngoc Son, Captain Ngo Van Vinh, Senior Lieutenant Doan Thanh Phu were lying in a pool of blood. All three were taken to Long Khanh General Hospital, however, due to fatal wounds Son died later. Captain Vinh and Senior Lieutenant Phu escaped severe injuries.

Kim just said that the case is under investigation.


text: I really liked the first 3 records of Kings of Leon, they are very…UNIQUE: unique in the way they don't sound like any other band or any other music style or anything that has been released, i mean, their style is unique. That's what i love of KOL, but with this their 4th record, i gotta put aside my pasion over them and be honest: Only by the night is a more elaborate album, in the way it is kind of commercial!!! but not because of this, is a bad album, on the contrary: is a very good album, great melodics, great guitar rifs and drum beats, and of course: that characteristic sound of caleb's voice….just awsome man!!! for a KOL FAN is a record you cannot miss.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
A new proposal calls for using cell phone tower revenue in Toledo to pay for cemetery maintenance.
The man in charge of overseeing the maintenance of five city cemeteries in Toledo says making due on a "shoe-string budget" is nothing new.
But some say they want funding that will stick. "We're looking for Velcro," says Denny Garvin, Toledo Commissioner of Parks Recreation and Forestry.
That Velcro may come in the form of a proposal to have $15,000 dollars in annual lease revenue from a cell phone tower located at forest cemetery, to go directly into the city's cemetery maintenance fund. Put simply, the city could start charging rent.
"It's public land, we've got a lot of people who are here visiting it with all due respect to all of those interred and their families here. We need to get it as nice as we possibly can and keep it that way," says Garvin.
The revenue could provide some budget certainty on a year-to-year basis.
While the plan goes before city council for consideration, Garvin says the last thing the city can afford to do is let the cemeteries fall into a state of disrepair.
Garvin says cemetery maintenance involves much more than mowing the grass.
the grass, the roads, the drainage it's retaining walls...it's fences, it's also shifting faulting stones and large
monument markers," says Garvin.
"We can't do that if we can't shows respect to our honored dead, we have to have an honorable place in memory of those who are here."

I love these shoes, great arch support and very comfortable.
Larger than Expected
very casual
Very cool and comfortable.
Sized as Expected
This is my third pair of these shoes. I've tried similar looking off brands but have never been able to find a pair better than Merrell. I just bought a new pair again. They last the longest out of any brand. I've turned family and friends into believers as well!
Sized as Expected
Ever day use.
My husband has plantar fascitits and hasn't found a doctor or treatment that has been a "cure" until he tried these shoes. They fit perfectly and have the best support of any shoes we've tried. He has a terrible time buying shoes and he put these on the first time and hasn't stopped wearing them. We've already gotten another pair just in case Merrell stops making them (please don't).
Sized as Expected
All day everyday. Work and pleasure!
Very good in all respects. This is my third pair. Highly recommended
Sized as Expected

Iran's Efforts to Stir Afghan Violence Worry U.S.
Just hours after it was revealed that American soldiers had burned Korans seized at an Afghan detention center in late February, Iran secretly ordered its agents operating inside Afghanistan to exploit the anticipated public outrage by trying to instigate violent protests in the capital, Kabul, and across the western part of the country, according to American officials.
For the most part, the efforts by Iranian agents and local surrogates failed to provoke widespread or lasting unrest, the officials said. Yet with NATO governments preparing for the possibility of retaliation by Iran in the event of an Israeli attack on its nuclear facilities, the issue of Iran's willingness and ability to foment violence in Afghanistan and elsewhere has taken on added urgency.

'Best'-laid plans forming
Consultant analyzing uses for building
A consulting firm is working to help Henrico County officials determine the best way to utilize the former Best Products headquarters building, located at Parham Road and I-95, which the county purchased last December for $6.2 million.
The county hired the Washington, D.C. office of architecture and design firm Gensler this summer to conduct a study of the 93-acre site and county agencies that could be relocated there. The firm expects to complete its study and make recommendations by April, Henrico General Services Director Chris Winstead told the Citizen last week.
County officials jumped at the chance to acquire the site, which was vacated by Best Products in 1998 and later used by Bank of America until 2010. It features 286,000 square feet of usable office space – more than what exists at the county's western government center and annex on Parham Road.
"It's exciting for us," Winstead said of the possibilities for the building. "It's a great opportunity. The reason we exist is to serve our citizens. Whatever happens at Best Plaza, it's going to be something focused on, 'How do we better serve our citizens in the years ahead?'"
Officials from Gensler and its local partner firm, BCWH, have been interviewing and surveying officials from each county agency viewed as a potential fit for the Best site – those whose needs are limited primarily to office space – Winstead said.
After receiving Gensler's recommendation in the spring, county officials will hire an architectural firm to design the first phase of occupancy. (Officials intend to move agencies into the building in several phases rather than all at once, Winstead said.)
In addition to providing centralized space for a number of county agencies, the Best building will provide Henrico with relief from rental fees. The county currently leases about 141,000 square feet of office space at 12 different locations to house various departments, Winstead said.
"There would be a sizable reduction in the amount of leased space over time," Winstead said. "Certainly, that is an opportunity for us, and we're definitely sensitive to that. We see this as a very good opportunity to map out a plan for many, many years to come."
Freeing up office space at the county's western government center could provide opportunity for the expansion of the county's courthouse, which is quickly outgrowing its space there. For nearly a decade, county officials have discussed the need for a new courthouse, but the price tag has been estimated at more than $80 million. Without a bond referendum, no funding for such a facility expense exists.
The Best Products building was built in three phases during an eight-year period, beginning in 1977. In addition to office space, the complex includes a cafeteria, jogging trails and a softball field.
The building itself features an open floor plan, Winstead said, with an atrium that is several stories in height. The facility is in relatively good shape, he said, but a number of improvements will be necessary before county employees move in.
Officials also intend to upgrade the site to make it more energy efficient, Winstead said.

YMCA breaks ground for aquatic center
YMCA officials gathered last week to break ground on the new Tommy J. West Aquatic Center at the Shady Grove Family YMCA on Nuckols Road. The center, which will featured 7,600 square feet of competitive and recreational space, including water slides, play areas for children and warmer water for those with physical limitations, is the fourth phase of a $4 million expansion at the facility. West was president and CEO of Capital Interior Contractors and a founding member of the Central Virginia Region of the Virginia Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors. > Read more.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Colby Lewis out for season with torn flexor tendon in right elbow
The Rangers announced Monday that right-hander Colby Lewis will miss the remainder of the season with a torn flexor tendon in his right elbow. He was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the second time this season Monday afternoon with tendinitis in his right forearm before the club announced that Lewis would not return this year.
Lewis, the Rangers' Opening Day starter, went 6-6 with a 3.43 ERA in 16 starts this season, striking out 93 and walking 14 in 105 innings. His 6.64 strikeout-to-walk ratio stands as the best in the Majors. He went 4-1 with a 2.34 ERA in eight postseason starts over the last two years.

State WESTEST2 Scores Improve
Posted: August 16, 2010
CHARLESTON, W.Va. – West Virginia parents have another reason to be proud of their children. West Virginia Educational Standards Test (WESTEST2) scores are in, and there is good news!
Results on the 2010 WESTEST2 show improvement in math and reading/language arts. Of the 694 schools accountable under No Child Left Behind, 538 or 81 percent made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). The number of students who reached proficiency levels increased in nearly all grade levels in both math and reading. All West Virginia students in grades 3-11 are required to take the WESTEST2, an assessment that measures student achievement of the West Virginia Content Standards and Objectives (CSO).
"What we value in West Virginia is constant improvement in student achievement and learning," said state Superintendent of Schools Steve Paine. "These results reinforce that the decisions we've made to assure our students are college and career ready when they graduate from high school are paying off. I am cautiously optimistic that our students will begin to show increases on national assessments like NAEP as well."
As part of Global21: Students deserve it. The world demands it., the West Virginia Department of Education (WVDE) updated its CSOs to include rigor, relevance and 21st century performance skills. Traditional subjects, including math, science, English, social studies and foreign languages, remain at the core of Global21. But the foundation is strengthened with the addition of performance skills, including critical thinking and problem solving.
The next step of the Global21 journey was to align the WESTEST with the more in-depth curriculum. The updated WESTEST2 was unveiled in 2009. This year the WVDE updated its scoring system. WESTEST2's new scoring system is reflective of a more rigorous curriculum.
"We have redefined mastery to better reflect the rigorous schoolwork needed to succeed in a global economy," Paine said. "We've done this by requiring students to show greater comprehension of what they are taught in school. That means students need to score higher on the WESTEST2 to be considered to have mastered the material. For example, on the math section, third graders needed to score 557 points to achieve mastery in 2009. In 2010, they needed to score 581 points to achieve mastery."
West Virginia's education system relies on parents to support learning that occurs in the classroom on a daily basis. The WVDE has developed a parent website to provide resources that can be used at home to help with this more rigorous schoolwork. The website can be found at http://wvde.state.wv.us/parents21. Additional WESTEST2 data can be found by visiting http://wveis.k12.wv.us/nclb/public10/nclbmenu.cfm, or by contacting the WVDE Communications Office at (304) 558-2699.

The boys of One Direction have some news that will make fans very happy: new music is on the way sooner than expected. After a promise that their next album would drop around Christmas 2013, One Direction revealed today (September 6) that their third album, Midnight Memories, will be released November 25.
Related: One Direction Is The Loudest Concert You Will Attend All Year
The LP will include their latest hit "Best Song Ever," which recently garnered them a VMA for Song of the Summer and received the most views on VEVO within 24 hours, clocking in at 12.3 million views.
One Direction made their film debut last week with their 3D concert film One Direction: This Is Us. The film covers the guys' dreams of becoming professional singers to their quick rise to superstardom, and of course the fandom from girls worldwide.
In an interview with Glamour earlier this year, 1D admitted that the obsession with them is something they'll never fully understand. Liam Payne said he still tries to remain incognito as much as he can.
"We kind of try to stay under the radar and not tweet where we are," he said. "Yesterday me and Niall went out shopping in Amsterdam. And literally every single shop we went into, they had to close the shop because there were so many people outside. Some girl tried to pull my hair out. It's quite mad."
Below, watch our video feature that goes inside One D fandom.

It seems that when Minnesota went small with Cunningham at the PF Avery had no answer. On one trip Minn had three offensive rebounds simply because they were faster to the ball. Cunningham was in the mix on the loose balls and Minn came away with points. A few possessions later Cunningham took the ball out of Humps hands and scored. Avery would have been able to play Wallace at the PF to match Cunningham's speed and intensity.
With all that said about Wallace, Nets were able to gain a 22 point lead. Once Minn made a run the ball stopped moving and there was a lot of one on one play. Nets began to force feed Lopez giving him the ball way too far away from the basket. JJ missed some lay ups in the lane. And Deron seem to be off after sitting on the bench for such a long time.
There was clearly a lack of leadership and intensity in that fourth quarter. We can't have that if we really plan to become a contender in the east. I hope Wallace recovers soon because it clear we need him.

GARDENDALE — It was a long time coming — 22 years, to be exact.
The last time that Gardendale had beaten Mountain Brook, or any of the over-the-mountain powerhouse teams for that matter, was 1991.
That losing streak ended Thursday night, as the Rockets came from behind to defeat the 10th-ranked Spartans 14-9.
The Rockets overcame an old-fashioned, run-it-up-the-gut offensive effort by Mountain Brook in the first half. Running back Will Bromberg was a jewel for the visitors, as he rushed 30 times for 151 yards to account for all but 14 of his team's total on the ground. Most of his yardage came as he pounded right into the heart of the Rockets' defensive line.
But even so, the Spartans had a difficult time putting points on the scoreboard. A marathon drive that began on their own 26 bogged down 16 plays later, when the Rockets held on third down and seven at the 9-yard line to force a 26-yard field goal by Tre Fletcher with 9:30 left in the first half.
Mountain Brook then capitalized on Gardendale's only turnover of the night, on the closest thing to a trick play that coach Matt Plunkett pulled out of his playbook. Running back/safety Juan Jackson lined up at quarterback, but threw in the wrong direction and right into the hands of Buddy Pell for an interception.
"He got confused and ran the wrong play. I take blame for that — I should've called a time out right there and fixed it," Plunkett said.
Bromberg ran five straight gains for 44 yards, with Pell smashing through the line for one yard and the touchdown. Smith's extra point kick was no good, though, giving the Spartans a 9-0 lead going into halftime.
Things turned around for the home team after intermission, and Jackson made amends for his errant pass. There weren't any big adjustments made by Plunkett and his staff, not even any paint-peeling tirades in the locker room.
"We said, 'Guys, we've asked you to be men, and you're either going to handle this like someone that's not ready to beat an over-the-mountain school, or you're going to grow up like men.' And that's really the challenge we gave them," Plunkett said. "Our kids made that decision. We didn't really change anything. Our kids never doubted they were going to win this football game."
After holding Mountain Brook on the first drive of the second half, the Rockets took the ball at their own 20, and cranked up the ground game for themselves. Jackson was a large part of that, but quarterback Hunter Crook also got into the action on a crucial series of downs in Spartan territory.
After a holding penalty put the Rockets back to second and 20 from the 40, Crook connected on consecutive passes to Tye Dunklin and Austin Hicks, then got the last yard and a half on a quarterback sneak.
Four plays later, Hicks swept around right end from the 5-yard line for a touchdown.
Gardendale held Mountain Brook again on the next possession, and took the ball over in Spartan territory after Jackson ran a punt back 35 yards to the opponents' 41.
Jackson then ran the last four carries of the drive, finishing with a 1-yard charge for the go-ahead score with 10:40 left in the game.
The speedy junior then made his presence known on the Spartans' subsequent drive, when he slammed wide receiver Hunter Branch with a bone-jarring tackle. Branch still made the catch and the first down, but three plays later he dropped an easy third-down catch that ended the drive.
Mountain Brook had one last chance late in the game, with a final drive that began at their own 25. They marched all the way down to the Rocket 9, helped by a defensive holding penalty along the way. But on fourth down and three at the 10, Jacob Carroll's pass was intercepted by Jay Washington with 59 seconds left. It was Mountain Brook's only turnover of the game, but it was the one that doomed their comeback chances.
"They had me staying in the flats, but at the end the coaches moved me up to free safety to cover the pass to the end zone," Washington said.
Jackson finished the night with 63 yards on 19 carries. He was one yard behind Crook, who ran nine times; he also was 7-for-8 in passing for 69 yards.
Mountain Brook (0-3, 0-2 region) led the overall offense with 314 yards compared to 237 for Gardendale (3-0, 2-0 region). The Spartans also gained 19 first downs, and the Rockets had 16.
Defensively, D.J. Lewis had six tackles and four assists, Santez Blevins had six tackles and three assists, and Tanner Clayton also had six tackles.
It's an auspicious beginning for new Gardendale coach Matt Plunkett, who was won his first three games. But it gets tougher next week as they travel to Vestavia Hills, where coaching legend Buddy Anderson won his 300th game Thursday night with a 30-8 thrashing of Huffman.
"Vestavia and Buddy Anderson football is as smash-mouth as it gets," Plunkett said. "We're going to have a huge challenge next week."

The Defense of Dr. Ossian Sweet by Clarence Darrow
The Prosecution's Case
Prosecutor Moll began his case with witnesses who maintained that there was no mob, only scattered groups of curious onlookers. It was important to establish the numbers of the spectators, since Michigan law defined a threat to one's property as there being more than 12 individuals expressing threats, or more than 30 who were not expressing threats but represented a perceived threat.
The prosecution went quickly to this central point. A number of the police designated to protect the Sweet house were called to the stand. Typical of the testimony elicited from them was that of Inspector Schuknecht, who testified that the onlookers on Garland Avenue that evening were few, orderly, and posing no threat. After Schuknecht and his fellow officers testified, Darrow would quietly challenge them on the accuracy of the crowd's size, and ask such pointed questions as to why the police were there in the first place. If the crowd was small and orderly, why, then, was a police presence necessary? Why had officers blocked the two ends of the street to traffic? The responses of the officers were stammering and confused.
Another line of inquiry by the prosecution was the issue of "premeditation." Prosecutor Moll presented police witnesses that testified to the arsenal within the Sweet house: Eight rifles and four handguns, as well as a supply of ammunition. It was reported that Dr. Sweet tried to dispose of a number of bullets into a waste basket at the police station. Moll was, in effect, establishing that the Sweet household was prepared for violence. On cross examination, Darrow tried to paint a picture of the growing fear of the defendants over the previous two days, when the move into the house had begun amidst a climate of hostility.
A potentially damning piece of testimony was the report by Lieutenant Schultz that Ossian's brother Henry had admitted, during interrogation, that he had fired a rifle from an upstairs window. Judge Murphy disallowed that information, stating that it was undocumented and prejudicial.
After five days, the prosecution rested its case.

Everglades Preparatory in Pahokee was placed on lockdown after shots fired in area
Lockdown has since been lifted
PAHOKEE — The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office says shots were fired at Everglades Preparatory Academy in Pahokee Tuesday afternoon. The school was placed on lockdown for a time.
According to the sheriff's office, a student was walking in a hall between classes when he heard gunshots aimed his way.

The school is located at 360 East Main Street in Pahokee.
NewsChannel 5's Ryan Calhoun reports a crime scene was set up across the street from school grounds and shell casings were seen on the ground.

G.O.D. is one of the very first group that I remember and actually listen to in my childhood. I was madly addicted to their songs and used to rewind that tape over and over again. This was a group created by JYP and possibly what got the JYP company started. The name may be misleading to English speaking people who don't know much about Korean music group naming craziness, but they are amazing so....... I approve of their name.
This is the song that got G.O.D. famous and also the song I loved from them when I was young, the first song I loved, I love whooooooooole lotta more songs from them. It is quite unfortunate that they are old and have changed and also members activities are quite different. It was mentioned very briefly they might come back, but I doubt that will happen especially when one of the member, Joon, is quite old and is in US at the moment.

Bananas! Steal bananas of the scary gorilla while he is distracted by other monkeys!
Use mouse when the gorilla doesn't look at you!
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars May 5, 2012
I like the distraction part and the expressions of the monkeys and the gorilla throughout the game. , the game play is solid as well even though when players need to do is to click when the gorilla is not looking. However, there is only one level and it is impossible to get more than four bananas, I will give you a higher score if you add more levels.
Rated 5 / 5 stars July 12, 2011
fun game
really like the distractions it gives
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars July 11, 2011
The characters make this game awesome, the gorilla is so clueless and the monkeys are so daring... The gameplay is flawless, and the suspense of getting caught and the small animations keep you interested. However, I do feel that there's not enough, even though you are trying to get a high score by moving as many bananas' as possible there is little motivation to continue playing after the first couple of tries. Would suggest extra modes, such as 1,2,3 monkeys, other time modes and such.
Note: Holding the mouse to start and continue passing bananas, tap one to move a banana to the next monkey/bag.
Rated 4 / 5 stars July 11, 2011
Very interesting game idea,
and you pull it off fairly well.
Great job!

I decided to look into the inner workings of the Bulls defense and how it compares to defensive strategies across the league... because that's what Bulls fans do at work. Thanks in large part to the writings of Zach Lowe over at Grantland, the excellent work of Kelly Scaletta at Bleacher Report and pieces on Blogabull as well as the few tidbits that the notoriously disingenuous Thibs and his players spat out, I was able to cover quite a bit of ground.
The NBA is a copycat league. Yes, it is a cliché, but it is true. I wasn't alive to see the first several decades of the NBA, but from the Jordan Rules paving the way for (ie. forcing the use of) the triangle offense, or the legalization of zones and successful three point shooting offenses (thank you, Rudy Tomjanovich) starting the ascent of outside shooting, whatever is successful quickly spreads, teams adjust, and as a result, the league evolves.
We have heard many times that Tom Thibodeau is the pioneer of modern NBA defenses, and though the Bulls defense slipped a bit last year thanks in large part to injuries, there is no doubt that Thibs' opponent-specific, meticulously designed schemes are the cream of the crop.
Relying on locking down the interior, using the sidelines and baseline as additional defenders, yielding only the lowest efficiency shots, and a complicated zone/man-to-man hybrid help system, offenses around the league were brought to a standstill. Teams ran into, fundamentally, the same defense quite often, and offenses have begun to adjust (I highly recommend reading this piece) by using tons of decoy action, weak side activity and ball reversal, often using post ups and drives only to draw defenders and kick the ball out to give the "real" offense a head-start. Somewhat fits the Bulls' scheme, but they prefer forcing the much riskier cross-court passes.
On Lu & Taj: As the NBA offenses continue to become more complicated with more and more misdirection and decoy action, defenses are challenged to identify the actual play and defend it. Sound simple, but it is a dilemma: surrender a tougher shot to a highly skilled decoy (outside shots in the case of players like Ray or Korver) or risk a deadlier mismatch? Furthermore, the amount of decoy action is highly variable even within the same game, as we've seen from the Rivers-led Celtics. The key is being able to switch on as many of these as possible.
Like everything else scheme related, it is easier said than done. You need the personnel to do it, and very specific types. We already know that the Bulls defense works best with mobile, athletic, fairly large forwards and bigs. Jimmy fits this criteria. The Bulls drafted Tony Snell for the same reason and when he gets strong enough to guard 3s and smaller 4s, he will fit right in.
The Bulls have the premium of having bigs who can switch out on perimeter players. Here, Taj does an excellent job of guarding Carmelo with his quick feet and incredible length. In the first sequence, Deng simply switches onto a dangerous pick and pop player in Novak, essentially ending all opportunities created out of the pick. While Hibbert and Duncan were on the bench because of their inability to guard on the perimeter (and ultimately their teams lost), Taj was chasing Ray Allen around screens in crunch time. Taj was injured a lot, and perhaps didn't show us as much as we'd like offensively, but he is a god in terms of advanced stats, is an integral player on this team and will continue to be that in the future.
It is essential that the Bulls retain Deng for the same reason. A lineup with Noah/Taj/Deng/Butler/Rose gives countless options to switch. Obviously, a high 1-4/5 pick and roll switch will not take place with a good PF/C, but all the floppy action on the wings (decoy or not) will be negated with Rose being able to guard 1's and 2's, Jimmy/Lu/Taj guarding 1-4s in many cases, and Joakim willing to switch to the perimeter even at the All Star game (fuck Chris Paul btw).
Simply put, with the right personnel like Noah, Taj, Jimmy and Lu, switching counters a lot of offensive action in the NBA at a time when the league as a whole is trying to outsmart Thibodeau's defenses. The Bulls need to pay Lu to keep him around, and not trade Taj for crap. Of course, I still haven't started on Lu's value as a two way player who helps you win playoff games, and if Snell progresses well it will give the Bulls one of the strongest two-way wing rotations in the league.

Halo Leisure submit plans for golf driving range inside Hereford Racecourse
7:00am Saturday 6th February 2010 in News
A 15-BAY golf driving range complete with a video room, cafe and shop could be built inside Hereford Racecourse.
Plans have been submitted by Halo Leisure to build the range on the site of the current practice area at Hereford Municipal Golf Course.
The enclosed area will have a 10-metre high fence around it with plans for a new access route across the racecourse, which borders the land.
Alex Haines, centre manager at the Halo-owned Hereford Leisure Centre, said the group was "keen to develop golf within the city".
Racecourse bosses say they are aware of the plans but do not believe spectators watching horse races will have their view hampered.
A decision on whether the plan can go ahead is likely to be made within four to five weeks.

Hello I have to develop an application using the UMA connection. I have seen only 6136 and 6086 are UMA phones, one more? I want to know it because they only support J2ME applications so I would like to know if there are any UMA phone which has symbian.
In that case would be possible to manage the UMA connection? Does exist any api for symbian or J2ME to do that?
