This March 6, 1987 file photo shows actor Andy Griffith in Toluca Lake, Calif. Griffith, whose homespun mix of humor and wisdom made "The Andy Griffith Show" an enduring TV favorite, died Tuesday, July 3, 2012. He was 86.Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Most people remember Andy Griffith, who died at age 86 at his home on Roanoke Island In North Carolina on Tuesday, from the extraordinarily popular TV show that carried his name and that made him and his character -- Sheriff Andy Taylor -- icons of American popular culture. Griffith, though, was far more than a one-hit wonder. He was a man of many talents whose long and multifaceted career made him one of the nation's most recognized and beloved performers.
Sheriff Taylor and his "The Andy Griffith Show" castmates -- Don Knotts, Ron Howard, Jim Nabors and Frances Bavier -- entertained millions during its run. It was No. 4 in the Nielsen ratings its first year (1960) and never fell below the Top 10. It was ensconced firmly at No. 1 in 1968, the series' last season. The is one of only three in TV series to leave the air at the top of the ratings. "I Love Lucy" and Seinfeld" were the others. That's pretty good company.
Griffith's resume included far more than "The Andy Griffith Show." More than a decade after that show ended, he starred in "Matlock," a series about a folksy but wise Southern lawyer. It was a hit, too, running more years than "The Andy Griffith Show," though it never won the rabid following of the earlier show. For many performers, those two shows would constitute a full career. Not for Griffith, though.
He was an acclaimed big-screen performer -- "A Face in the Crowd" and "Onionhead" were critical and audience favorites. He excelled on stage, winning praise for his role in "No Time for Sergeants." He was a recording star, too. He won a Grammy in 1997 for a gospel album that earned platinum status, and his "What It Was, Was Football" monologue, recorded in 1953, sold 800,000 copies.
Griffith was an intensely private person, preferring to live quietly among friends in North Carolina rather than in the spotlight that inevitably followed performers of his stature. His body of work, though, remains a much-honored public treasure. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts Hall of Fame two decades ago and was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005. He was humbled by both honors, he said, though he thought that having a 10-mile stretch of a North Carolina highway named in his honor was pretty neat, too.
The world of entertainment has changed considerably since Griffith first made his mark in that realm. One thing unlikely to change, though, is Griffith's place in the history of TV, movies, stage and recordings.
Andy Griffith, you were so much more than a fictional small-town sheriff in the iconic TV show that bore your name, but you have come to be forever known by "Sheriff Andy Taylor of Mayberry" as much as by Andy Griffith. You and the colorful, unforgettable characters that comprised the idyllic make-believe town of Mayberry epitomized what is best about America, or what America could be. You and everyone in that folksy, surreal, and beautiful little town transcended politics and petty differences and you shone a light on the better nature of everyone who was fortunate enough to enter into that magical place. And all the while you brought laughter to those of us who watched, and still do, as you inspired us with the warmth, love, and down-to-earth wisdom that was a natural part of every one of your shows.
As successful as you were in your calling as an actor over your lifetime you always carried yourself with humility and grace. I know very little about your private life and I don't even know whether you were Republican or Democrat or where you stood on topical issues, but it doesn't matter. You gave of your talents without vanity or calling attention to yourself and we all benefited from the array of characters and body of work you left behind. You were truly a star who shone brightly in your own special way. Thank you, and R.I.P.

News Release
Older Son Wanted in Slaying of Mother and Brother
September 23, 2013
Henderson, Nev. – A 16-year-old missing since his family was found slain is now considered the suspect in the murders.
A warrant is on file charging Adrian Navarro-Canales as an adult with two counts of murder in the stabbing death of his mother, Elvira Canales-Gomez, 40, and his 9-year-old brother, Cesar Navarro. The warrant was signed by a Clark County judge Monday.
Henderson Police have been searching for Navarro-Canales since his mother and brother were found slain about noon on Friday. Detectives have been unable to locate him. Anyone who knows of his whereabouts is asked to call 9-1-1 immediately.
When the woman and her young son were found in the apartment, detectives thought the older son might also have been a victim. As the investigation progressed, Navarro-Canales went from a missing person to a person of interest. By Sunday, detectives had the probable cause to arrest Navarro-Canales in connection with his family's murder.
The exact nature of the evidence and details of the crime cannot be released at this time as the case remains ongoing. Detectives do not want to release any information that would hamper the capture of Navarro-Canales.
Officers were called Friday to the apartment in the 11000 block of S. Eastern Avenue near Sunridge Heights Parkway to check on the welfare of the woman and her children. A friend and a relative started to worry about the woman after she did not show up to work on Wednesday and was not returning calls. Detectives discovered that the younger boy also missed school last week starting on Wednesday. Navarro-Canales was not enrolled in school this year.
Anyone with information in this case is urged to call the Henderson Police Department at (702) 267-4750 or, to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at (702) 385-5555 or visit crimestoppersofnv.com. Tips directly leading to an arrest or an indictment processed through Crime Stoppers may result in a cash reward.

Robinson Antwain Guilty Verdict
BATON ROUGE, LA – United States Attorney Donald J. Cazayoux, Jr. announced that a federal jury convicted ANTWAIN ROBINSON, age 35, of Denham Springs, Louisiana, on a charge of possession with the intent to distribute fifty grams or more of "crack" cocaine.
On November 9, 2009, law enforcement agents executed a search warrant at a residence in Hammond, Louisiana, where they found and seized approximately 181 grams of "crack" cocaine. A few days before, ROBINSON had sold approximately two ounces of "crack" cocaine from this house.
ROBINSON has two prior convictions for possession with the intent to distribute cocaine. One conviction occurred on March 11, 1996, in East Baton Rouge Parish, where he was ordered to serve seven years imprisonment at hard labor. The second conviction arose on January 16, 2001, in Lincoln Parish, Louisiana. He was ordered to serve a term of imprisonment of fifteen years.
U.S. District Court Chief Judge Ralph E. Tyson presided over the two day jury trial. Assistant United States Attorneys Robert W. Piedrahita and J. Lane Ewing, Jr. prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
ROBINSON faces a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment and a maximum fine of $8,000,000. Judge Tyson will sentence the defendant following the completion of a pre-sentence investigation.
The case was investigated by the Drug Enforcement Administration, the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office, and the Hammond City Police.

Dear Alumnae,
It has been a pleasure and privilege to serve as the Executive Director of Red Pine Camp Foundation, Inc. When I left my previous career as a Litigation Paralegal in Minneapolis, though not without some trepidation, I was excited about the opportunity to return to my most favorite stomping grounds and honored to be given the opportunity to insure that the campers of today and tomorrow receive the same quality, rewarding, and most importantly, fun times that I had when I attended Red Pine.
For 78 years Red Pine Camp has remained true to its original mission: to develop girls' moral, personal and physical skills in the spirit of fellowship and fun. Red Pine is a place that celebrates traditional values where girls and women alike seek something higher than their own self-interest. One of the reasons Red Pine's magic has sustained itself since 1937 is because of the timelessness of its mission. What is learned and experienced at Red Pine resonates through every stage of a woman's life.
One of the unique characteristics of Red Pine is the loyalty and support of its alumnae. For most campers, their relationship with Red Pine does not end with the close of the Camp season. Rather it endures throughout their adult lives, which was so well demonstrated when word got out that Red Pine had been sold to a developer, and
after the property was purchased by Pleasant T. Rowland. We are an amazing group of ladies and yes, some gentlemen too, who continue to play forward that Red Pine Spirit with compassion and commitment!
We had, as many of the girls said, an "awesome summer" and one of our many accomplishments included obtaining Not for Profit status as a 501(c) (3).
Our Not for Profit status opens the door for all of us to follow Pleasant T. Rowland's lead in contributing to the continued success of Red Pine Camp.
The following are the tax-deductible gift giving opportunities available to show your support for Red Pine Camp for Girls.
Pleasant T. Rowland Endowment Fund
If not for the generosity and commitment made by Pleasant T. Rowland you would not be reading this letter today and we would not have had the opportunity to carry on the same traditions, values, and ideals that Red Pine was founded on back in 1937.
The Pleasant T. Rowland Endowment Fund has been established to recognize Pleasant T. Rowland's commitment to continue a legacy of environmental stewardship to the preservation of the natural surroundings and property that Red Pine Camp so proudly sits on as well as the operations of Red Pine Camp.
After Pleasant Rowland so generously purchased the property she also without hesitation provided us with our 1st year startup operating funds which enabled us to remodel the Lodge, Shower House and Rafters as well as address other deferred maintenance issues and satisfy additional County upgrades required as a result of new ownership.
It is this commitment to Red Pine's future and excellence that this fund strives to perpetuate and nurture. The initial goal of the fund is to raise $155,000 which is a match to the startup operating funds so generously donated by Pleasant T. Rowland with the hopes that the fund will grow sufficiently to support special projects for which funds otherwise would not be available.
The Endowment will be maintained separately from our other Red Pine Camp funds, with a management committee overseeing investments and expenditures.
Sarah Wittenkamp Rolley Campership Fund (Scholarship)
A gift to the Campership Fund provides financial support for girls of Red Pine Camp families who would like to attend Red Pine Camp but require financial assistance. To ensure this, we are creating a scholarship program to be funded by our generous alumnae and parents. Partial tuition assistance will be awarded primarily on the basis of financial need and the Camp director will work with our alumnae network to identify applicants. Scholarship applications will be due March 15 of every year, and notification of scholarship awards begins on or after April 1st.
The Spirit of Red Pine Fund
As a contributor to The Spirit of Red Pine Fund you have the option of making a general contribution that will go towards helping Red Pine in an area of greatest need or you can earmark your gift to your area of passion.
Commemorative or Memorial Gift
If you would like your gift to be a commemorative or memorial gift please provide us with the name of the Honoree(s) or individuals for whom the gift is made in Memory of and provide us with the appropriate name & mailing address if you would like us to send a letter acknowledging your gift.
Your commemoratives and memorials will be deeply appreciated so please send in your funny stories and memories and we will publish them on our website.
Honoree and memorial gifts will also be acknowledged in the subsequent Red Pine newsletter at your request.
Donations of Personal Property
Give Connie a call! Its tax deductible and you just might have the perfect item that Red Pine could/would put to good use!
You may send your check payable to "Red Pine Camp Foundation/Applicable Fund" to Connie Scholfield at Red Pine Camp, PO Box 69, Minocqua, WI 54548.
If you have additional questions about giving to Red Pine Camp Foundation Inc., you may call Connie Scholfield at 952-270-0579 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Dont Follow Your Passion, Follow Your Effort
I hear it all the time from people. "I'm passionate about it." "I'm not going to quit, It's my passion". Or I hear it as advice to students and others "Follow your passion".
What a bunch of BS. "Follow Your Passion" is easily the worst advice you could ever give or get.
Why ? Because everyone is passionate about something. Usually more than 1 thing.

- Summary: From the lead designer of Age of Empires® comes Empire EarthTM a real-time strategy game that lets you control the destiny of a fledgling civilization through 500,000 years of human history. Choose any point in time and establish a civilization to transcend the ages and dominate the earth. [Sierra]

Positive: 19 out of 23
Mixed: 4 out of 23
Negative: 0 out of 23
What impresses us the most is the sheer size of it -- each epoch feels fleshed out and playable, and every era has its own nuances, so it's almost like getting 14 games in one.
What makes this such a compelling feature is that you actually have different sets of units, heroes and buildings for each of the epochs, translating into over 200 different combat units, structures and era-appropriate historical heroes to command your armies. To say that Empire Earth has a lot to offer is an understatement.
An enjoyable RTS game in the Age of Empire mold that will last even the most experienced of gamers quite some time with the various gameplay and map-making options available within it.
This is not a game for those new to strategy games - the challenge and complexity make Empire Earth too much to digest for these players and it may easily prove to be frustrating to them.
The graphics look fine when pulled back, but tend to get blurry the closer you get to the object of the zoom. And there doesnt seem to be any way to rotate the camera to allow a better view of a single object or citizen.
Empire Earths kitchen sink design is too massive (if at time unwieldy) to be darkened by the shadow cast by a dozen games. [Feb 2002, p.94]
It tries almost nothing new. It's like a K-Tel greatest hits album. Yeah, sure, you've heard these songs a million times, but they're all good and it's nice to have them in one place.

May 19, 2011I grew up with RTS games such as this as well as Age of Empires II. Empire Earth and Age of Empires have their similarites, but I believe they are quite different games. The campaigns of Empire Earth are historically accurate and a bunch of fun to play. Skirmish mode is great too. If you enjoy slower paced RTS games than Empire Earth is a game that is certainly worth buying, if not, then try Age of Empires. Either way this is up there on the best RTS games ever list.… Collapse
LiamS.Jul 21, 2005This is a really good game i8 advise everyone to buy it!!!
May 16, 2013It is my opinion that this game was the apex of the RTS genre. Even amazing games like Supreme Commander fail to match up to the brilliance of Empire Earth. Empire Earth features in depth gameplay, stunning visuals, and an inspiring soundtrack. The pinnacle of the game is it's map and scenario editor.… Expand
MabaU.Mar 1, 2005The best RTS game ever in spite of not being enough publicized.
Jun 18, 2012This game was pretty good.The evolution from Stone Age to the Nano Age seemed an innovative idea.
Unfortunately, the gameplay is copied from Age of Empires.No civilization, there is only one that collect bonuses.Campaigns are boring, the stories do not attract.The downside is the graphics, though it is 3D, you can not rotate camera.And the units are unfinished and square.
I'm also bothered by mixing cultures, ex: in the Dark Ages find legionaries,barbarians and Persians together in the barracks.I am bothered by the fact that in the Nano Age, people still cut trees with axes and still use Pickaxe.
Instead, the matches are spectacular in skirmish and multiplayer.… Expand

After graduating from the Moscow Aviation Institute (MAI), Viatcheslav Kantor headed a leading USSR laboratory engaged in developing spacecraft. Between 1976 and 1986, a reflector satellite was designed using his research, and in 1993 it was launched into Earth orbit to illuminate the planet's surface with reflected sunlight.
Twenty meters in diameter, the reflector completed a number of Earth orbit revolutions and its reflected beam of sunlight traveled across the Earth's surface through Lyon, Bern, Munich, Prague, Lodz, Brest and Gomel. The experiment illustrated the technical efficiency of the unit and its suitability for a number of practical uses.
The launch and further research resulted in a complex experimental project to deploy two film-sheet reflector satellites 25 and 60 m in diameter into Earth orbit. Through the late 1990s, improvements were made to the Znamya, or banner, reflector satellite and several modifications were launched.
The reflector satellite project attracted interest worldwide, both in the academic community and the general public. The reflected light spot was observed by scientists and amateurs in many countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Germany, Belgium, Czech Republic, Canada and the U.S. Russian and foreign experts confirmed that the satellite was promising from academic and economic standpoints.

Debenhams wins multi-channel retailer of the year
Debenhams recently won the Retail Week multi-channel retailer of the year award. It is a delight and an honour to win this award – successful multi-channel retail means the pulling together of a lot of different teams across our business and so there are an awful lot of people who are really chuffed with this.
So how did we get here? Well we are always talking with our customers to find ways to improve our shopping experience, and about two years ago they challenged us to make it easier to shop with Debenhams. The trends that emerged were around using mobiles to shop the web and to help them find products that are unavailable in their local store or currently out-of-stock in the right size or colour.
This was a turning point for us and since then we have been consulting customers to add new 'shopping channels' to complement our existing stores and online presence. Our busy teams have so far come up with:
- iPhone, Android and iPad shopping apps (plus a Debenhams Beauty Club app)
- A mobile optimised website
- Touch-screen customer order points in-store
- Glossy catalogues to help customers shop our extended furniture and home ranges
My particular favourite would be the in-store order points. As well as showcasing our full extended range of products, these allow customers to find products that aren't available in their size (or colour) for delivery to their home or store collection simply by scanning the barcode of the 'wrong' sized product and following the on-screen prompt.
Our next move is to look at whether customers would like a tablet optimised version of the website for their iPads / Galaxy tabs and such the like. We also continually review our existing service as we want to make sure our delivery and collect from store services are as convenient as possible for customers.
Well done to everyone involved in this award win.

Beijing Travel Essentials: Mobile Phones
Cell Phones & Landlines in China
There are an estimated 451 million mobile phones in use in China (2008 figure) making the country the world's largest mobile telephone market. Mobile phone users easily outnumber landline subscribers.
The leading mobile telephony service providers in China are China Mobile and China Unicom. China Mobile operates the world's largest GSM network in the world, while China Unicom operates both a GSM and a CDMA network. Landlines are operated by China Telecom with Beijing Telecom the branch of China Telecom in the capital.
Mobile phones can be bought new at mobile phone shops, department and electronics stores. Phones can also be purchased second-hand at a number of electronics malls such as the Grand World Second-hand Electrical Market at the Laitai Flower Market.
Good outlets for mobile phones include Xidan Mall, Zhongguancun Electronics Market, Hongqiao Market and the Zoomflight, Gome and Dazhong chains.
SIM Cards
Once you have picked up a phone, you will need a SIM card to provide you with a number and to connect you to the service. SIM cards can be purchased at a cell phone store or at a convenience store. Phone numbers with auspicious numbers such as 6, 8 and 9 are likely to be more expensive than those with 'unlucky' numbers such as 4 (which is associated with death).
Equipped with your new phone and SIM card you can now either sign up for an account with China Mobile or China Unicom or get by with pre-paid phone cards available from newspaper kiosks, cell phone and convenience stores.
When buying a SIM card in Beijing ask whether the SIM card allows you to call outside China. Some SIM cards allow this to happen, while others don't. Usually the card you buy that allows you to call outside of China will not allow you to send text messages out of China. Unless you are willing to spend 5000RMB as a deposit on a number to do both operations you will need to buy 2 different SIM cards if you want to send text messages and make phone calls to the outside world.
Be aware that when using China Mobile to download information from the internet the charges are quite high compared to other parts of Asia.
Bringing Your Phone From Home
If you are already using a GSM phone it can be unlocked and a Chinese SIM card inserted. This service is available at Beijing International Airport or you can pick up a global SIM card before you leave home.
If you want to have Chinese language available for SMS you will need to change the software on your mobile. Unlocking and software services are available from trained technicians at the stores and malls listed above.
Apply to Beijing Telecom for a regular landline and for ISDN services if required. Local calls are free in China even from most hotels and long-distance rates are low. Chinese phone numbers have 8 digits.
To dial overseas from China dial 00 then the country code and then the number. International phone cards (Internet Protocol or IP cards) can also be purchased in various denominations for either your mobile or landline. To use an IP card you first dial a local access number and enter your card number and PIN and then phone the required number. Discounts are available and you should not pay the face value on the card.
The country code for China is 86 and the city code for Beijing is 10. Numbers beginning 800 within China are toll-free.

We made these for my 6 year-old's "half-birthday" party at school. The concept is really easy but they are time consuming (the reason for the large amount of steps listed include the amounts of food coloring needed to dye the batter). The end result was worth it after the kids saw these and thought they were awesome. I didn't have the heart to tell them they were eating plain old vanilla cake with plain old vanilla frosting. They'll be perfect for your little hippie, too!

Boston - Gary Alcock, of Westborough, Mass., and Gail Thorick and Myron Thorick, both of West Warwick, R.I. were convicted today in federal court on federal tax charges.
Alcock, Gail Thorick and Myron Thorick each pleaded guilty before U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor IV in Worcester. Alcock pleaded guilty to conspiracy, five counts of tax evasion, and willfully failing to file a tax return.
Alcock owned and operated a trucking business that operated under the names G&K Trucking Co. and Barkmulch & Loam Co., located in Shrewsbury, Mass. Between 2000 and 2005, Alcock engaged in numerous efforts to evade federal income and payroll taxes. After failing to pay substantial amounts of payroll taxes he owed to the IRS, he subscribed to a payroll tax fraud scheme operating under the name Contract America in order to pay his employees "under the table" and to conceal those wages from the IRS. In addition, to impede the IRS from collecting on the payroll taxes that he already owed through the seizure of assets and garnishment of income, he changed the name of his trucking business to Alex Management, which was purportedly located in Reno, Nev. and funneled his financial transactions through a new bank account, which was placed under the signatory authority of a co-conspirator. As a result, Alcock caused a federal tax loss of at least $350,000.
Gail Thorick and Myron Thorick, wife and husband, each pleaded guilty to conspiracy and three counts of filing false tax returns. They conspired with others to operate a private "warehouse banking" scheme, which helped subscribers conceal income and assets from the IRS. The private warehouse scheme operated under three different names: Your Virtual Office, Office Services, and Calico Management. As part of the warehouse banking scheme, Gail Thorick and her co-conspirators maintained accounts at several banks and used the accounts to deposit over $16 million of largely unreported income. The accounts commingled personal income, business receipts, and other funds received from subscribers in order to mask the true ownership of the funds. Myron Thorick assisted in returning cash to the subscribers by cashing checks that totaled more than $400,000, at least some of which was wrapped in aluminum foil and delivered by mail to the subscribers. As a result, the two caused a federal tax loss of at least $400,000.
Alcock is scheduled to be sentenced on Mar. 8, 2012, whereas Gail Thorick and Myron Thorick are scheduled for sentencing on Mar. 12, 2012. The defendants face up to five years in prison on each count of conspiracy and tax evasion, together with fines of up to $250,000 or twice the financial gain to the defendant or loss to the IRS, to be followed by three years of supervised release. The charges for filing false tax returns each carry a maximum penalty of three years in prison, with a fine of $250,000 and one year of supervised release. The willful failure to file charge carries a maximum one-year prison term, with a fine of $100,000 and one year of supervised release.
Co-defendants William Scott Dion, Catherine Floyd, Charles Adams, and Kenneth Scott Alcock are scheduled for trial on March 1, 2012 before Judge Saylor.
United States Attorney Carmen M. Ortiz; John A. DiCicco, Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department's Tax Division; and William P. Offord, Special Agent in Charge of the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation in Boston made the announcement today.
The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Victor A. Wild of Ortiz's Economic Crimes Unit and Assistant Chief John N. Kane and Trial Attorney Jeffrey L. Shih of the Justice Department's Tax Division.

Hundreds of talented local musicians will be part of the 50th annual Estevan and District Music Festival.
The festival will begin with the vocal and speech arts components from March 16 to 18. The band and strings portions will be March 18 to 20.
The festival will pause during spring break for local schools from March 22 to 30, and then resume with piano sessions from April 6 to 10.
The highlights and awards program will be Tuesday, April 15 at the Estevan Comprehensive School's cafeteria. Top musicians in each discipline will be selected to perform, and bursaries and trophies will be handed out.
Music festival president Pam Dechief said there is going to be a lot of talent on display this year. A total of 620 registrations were received for the festival.
While the number is slightly down from 2013, the festival remains one of the largest in the province, Dechief said. Numerous participants have signed up in several categories.
The adjudicators will be Andree Dagenais of Brandon, Manitoba, for speech arts, David Dick of Regina and Jamie Fries of Moose Jaw for band, and Janis Smith of Regina for piano.
"They're looking forward to working with our students, and providing adjudication," said Dechief.
New for this year was an on-line registration system. About half of the music festival's participants signed up via the internet, Dechief said.
"It saved our volunteers hours of time entering names and classes on the computer," said Dechief.
The music festival will be moving more towards on-line entries each year, she said.
Dechief said they don't have anything special planned for the golden anniversary of the music festival, but she said it is a wonderful milestone that reflects the talent of the musicians, the dedication of the parents and volunteers, and the support of the community for the past 50 years.

The Virginia baseball team still has a few weeks to go in the regular season, including their three-game series at Florida State that starts Friday night.
But the Cavaliers are expecting this weekend to have a postseason feel.
"The type of baseball you have to play this weekend is the type of baseball you have to play in a regional or a super regional to advance," said UVa coach Brian O'Connor. "It's going to be a great environment. They have some of the best fans in the country. And it's going to be a great opportunity for us."
This weekend's three-game set is arguably the biggest series in all of college baseball this weekend. UVa enters the weekend at 35-7 overall, and ranked No. 1 in the country by Baseball America again this week.
The Seminoles are 32-9 overall entering Friday night, and ranked No. 4 in the country this week. Both teams are 16-5 in the ACC, with FSU alone on top of the Atlantic Division, and UVa tied with Miami for first place in the Coastal Division.
"It's a team that we're going to have to beat to get where we want to go," said junior outfielder Derek Fisher. "It's another ACC weekend. It's going to be three close games. And it's games that Virginia thrives on."
UVa will take the field on Friday just 26-5 all-time in Tallahassee. But the Cavaliers are one of just three teams left in Division I baseball that haven't lost a weekend series this season. FSU's lone weekend series loss came two weeks ago in Atlanta, when the Seminoles dropped two of three to Georgia Tech.
"Our approach going into these big ACC series, they've been working for us," said UVa sophomore outfielder Joe McCarthy. "So we're just going to continue it, not over-think this, and just go in looking to compete."
"It's no different than what we've done up to this point," said O'Connor. "We're going to need to go down there and get good starting pitching, manage it out of the bullpen, and handle the ball defensively."

I've been suffering from knee pains for 13 years, and I have gone through multiple ACL surgeries. There's still at least one knee surgery coming later this year. I've been trying various health products from iHerb to relieve knee pain. Superior source's Vitamin K2 , 100 mcg, seem to help rather nicely with joint damage (bone-to-bone contacts thanks to Osteoarthritis of Knee). Menaquinone-7, should be the best form of Vitamin K2. I like the quick dissolving tablets, and serving size is only one tablet per day. I don't like to eat dozens of tablets everyday. :) I have used Superior Source's products before, and these provides great quality once again.
Very happy with these

51 and trying to deal with micro-vascular dysfunction and improve circulation. Because of salicylate sensitivity K-2 seems a good alternative. I take K-2 with vitamin D3 and magnesium malate, and it lifts my physical energy. I've been able to swim yesterday in a fairly cold sea water (19*C), without turning blue and breathless as I expected I would. It isn't K-2 alone that improved my circulation (GAGs such as chondroitin and calcium d-glucarate are also helpful for veins and arteries), but K-2 has a certain noticeable effect within minutes of ingestion. Nice small dose, as vitamin K is dangerous in overdose.

Joe Nunziata grew up in Brooklyn and after his father, a police officer, was killed in a violent incident, Nunziata lost interest in school and decided that college was not for him and he would make millions of dollars by the time he was 30. Instead, he had filed for bankruptcy twice by the time he was 30.
"This moved me in a different direction," said Nunziata. "I realized that I had to make changes in my life spiritually." So Nunizata started in therapy and learned about spiritual laws and meditation.
Nunziata always knew there was more to the story of his dad's death than he was told - he was told it was a suicide. Nunziata had a session with John Edward, the now renowned medium, author and talk show host, before he was famous.
"I didn't know much about him. He wasn't on television yet and I just told him my first name," said Nunziata. "He connected me to my father and told me everything that happened surrounding his death. He knew details and told me that my dad was murdered. This story was also confirmed by two other mediums. After this, I immersed myself in spiritual work."
Nunziata learned about Chakra Energy, which deals with points in the body holding vibrations. "We are trained to think that we have to take action to achieve things," he said. "That is not the case - it is all about your energy and vibrations. You can't change the outcome by just doing something. I started working on myself using this philosophy. It took many years, but I started to see results."
Nunziata put his knowledge into words and wrote the newly released book entitled Spiritual Selling, which was published by Wiley. In the book, he reiterates his powerful message for the business world that incorporates universal principles and sound business strategies. He also created the Attractor Sales System, which is designed to help people attract the perfect clients and opportunities to their business.
A resident of Plainview, he is now an internationally known speaker and author. He has been delivering his life-changing message at events and seminars since 1992. He has been working in the areas of personal development and human potential for over 20 years. His unique blend of spirituality, psychology, philosophy and the power of energy results in revolutionary new programs and seminars.
The book Spiritual Selling is now available at bookstores and at www.spiritualselling.com.
Nunziata has appeared on television including Good Day New York on Fox, plus various radio stations including KFNN, Phoenix, AZ; KTHO, Sacramento, CA; KCEO, San Diego, CA; KLMO, Denver, CO; WXCT, Hartford, CT; WPLC, Washington, DC; WOKB, Orlando, FL and many others.

Hi people at TS! been a while since I've posted and I have a dilemma in the fact that have over 95 frost badges, and I do not know what to get! I have an abundance of expertise... and a shortage of gold =S
I am thinking that I might invest into the Legplates of Painful Death, so I can drop some not-so-much needed expertise. You guys think this is a wise desicion? In a little bit, I will be going fury, mainly once I get a good weapon (crytmaker, SE, really anything.... any recommendations on the best weapon that is "easily" obtainable, barring the current content I am clearing, 7 bosses in icc10, PuG'ed 25m progression... 4 bosses down)
Any thoughts on this would be appreciative :P

"The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency.
An efficient bureaucracy is the greatest threat to liberty."
- Eugene McCarthy
I wrote the following piece after looking into the Executive Order on Open Data. The original is published at https://www.acquia.com/blog/what-does-white-houses-executive-order-mean-...
Recently at work, one of the site managers asked for a listing of which nodes on the site were using the auto-generated Pathauto paths and which were not. Should be easy, right? Just figure out where Pathauto stores whatever variable it uses to indicate if a node has the "Automatic alias" parameter set and dump the list. Turns out, actually no, it's not that simple. Pathauto doesn't store a variable.
One of the initiatives begun since I came on board at USP is to convert the team from using CVS for version control to using Git. CVS was performing adequately in most respects, but the leadership recognized that Git is the de facto industry standard these days and that, beyond the technical benefits of moving to Git, there was value in keeping up with the standards of the industry and the Drupal community. The question, then, was how to best accomplish the change.
On July 13th, I'll bid farewell to GDIT and the EOP and move on to the next step in my career. It's been an honor to work with the team there and I've learned more in the past year than I would have imagined possible, a small sampling of which are below.
cd -
hook_career_alter() was originally developed by webchick. I'm just running a custom implementation of it.* I have no proof that 3M created Kanban...but it just makes so much sense.
Some months ago, I got involved with implementing OpenID on Drupal for work. One of the things that struck me was that the OpenID modules appeared to be largely dormant. With DrupalCon coming up, the logical solution seemed to be to get together a Birds of a Feather (BoF) session.
The final outcome of this project came out a bit different than originally envisioned, but I'm calling this one done for now. In the end, I created a Project node type with a Taxonomy term reference for the project status and a view to display the Project nodes which have a status of either Exploration, Active, or Someday.
The openid_selector_inline submodule of OpenID Selector provides interface elements that replace the core OpenID input field with provider icons that users can click to authenticate to their identity provider. The module provides no real configuration options, though. When enabled, it automatically places its icons on the /user/login form and on the login block.
This morning, I went looking for a means to automatically create a Taxonomy term when a new node of a given type is published. To my surprise, though, the old Taxonomy action set which appeared in the D6 version of Rules was missing from the D7 version of Rules. A quick search of the Rules issue queue revealed that I wasn't the only one looking for Taxonomy actions. Several more minutes of poking around the interface revealed that the solution is there, it's just obscured in the interface.

Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby DoddPhoto by Jake Daniels /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Officials with the Chattanooga Police Department and Hamilton County Sheriff's Office outlined plans today for a $4 million indoor firing range at the old farmers market off 11th Street.
The new facility, with 25 shooting lanes, will replace the law-enforcement shooting range at Moccasin Bend. That property is becoming part of the Moccasin Bend National Park.
The city and the county will each put $1.5 million up for the new facility behind the Chattanooga police precinct on 11th Street. Additional construction costs will be covered with grant money.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Allen Branum with the sheriff's office and Chattanooga Police Chief Bobby Dodd spoke to Hamilton County commissioners this morning, fielding a number of financial questions about "hidden charges" related to the project and operating costs.
The indoor range will require a sophisticated ventilation system and a filter and auger containment system to collect spent lead and brass.
"I'm a strong believer in this working," said Commissioner Joe Graham. "It almost sounds like — without all the numbers — we're writing a blank check."
Branum said officials had scoured the area for another outdoor range site, but he believes "the days of shooting into a [earthen] bank are pretty much over."
Dodd and Branum said they hoped to offset some operating costs by charging other local law enforcement agencies to use it.
The new range won't allow for long-distance firing practice, but it will allow trainers to simulate conditions like storms, darkness and flashing lights.
Dodd stressed the need for quick action, saying that the grant for construction will expire soon.

Reviews about Zoppi albums
one of my favorite albums has been stolen | Reviewer: megan crose------ About the album Suspended performed by Zoppi
this is a fantastic album and band that nobody knows about but they always ask who it is when I play it. All the songs are great which is hard to find on any record and the order they are in makes it interesting and keeps it flowing. my biggest problem is getting another copy. My first copy was stuck in a car I sold and I told the buyer to be sure and return it as soon as they could but they didn't. I guess they liked it so much they kept it for themselves. Just the other morning my second copy was stolen along with all my Rolling Stones and Counting Crows and I am just sick because I can't get another copy and it's one of my favorite all time albums. What happened why did they stop making albums? these guys are good the music rocks and it's got great songs all the way through. Lets hope they are still out there and we get a chance to hear more of their work. I love this one and please tell me where I can buy it for the third time or the guy that broke into my car reads this and returns it.

The Grates & Whyte Fang - The Version Suicides by thegrates
Sydney producer Whyte Fang has taken the unmistakable voice of The Grates' frontwoman Patience Hodgson and displaced it into a new sonic landscape, transposing the heart of each song to a new beat based on the bare bones of the original tracks.
Key tracks from recent album "Secret Rituals" including 'Turn Me On', 'Sweet Dreams', 'Like You Could Have It All', 'Borrowed Skin' and 'Crying All Night' have been given a reworking in full to become twisted versions of themselves - some deep and dark, some light and tasty – all very catchy.
Bernard Fanning offers up 'GROW AROUND YOU' lifted from his latest #1 album Departures. Berneard and his band will be stopping by the Fotty Show AFL Grand Final show on Thursday 26th September for a special televised headline-performance.
Returning in a wall of shimmering synth and hook-laden guitars, Guineafowl delivers a partnering video for new single 'Little Death (Make It Rain)' and announces details of a special EP launch night taking over Sydney's Club 77 on Thursday 10th October
"Like A Thief" captures the band's powerful dynamism and potent lyricism that hits hard at their live shows. Including singles 'Empty Hands' and 'Above the Water'

Sometimes I've wondered if the universe will reward me for the fact that I am actually a serious fan of Hanson you know, the trio of singing brothers from Tulsa who became wildly famous in 1996 for their song "MMMBop" and who are also still making totally decent music. And then, lo and behold, two heavy boxes arrived at my desk, and the universe had responded: 24 bottles of Mmmhops, a new beer from Hanson. There was even a card exhorting me to try the band's "most fun new project, BEER!" But wait Hanson beer? Is this a joke? Where did this idea come from? Luckily, middle Hanson Taylor and youngest Hanson Zac (who get ready to feel old is over 21 now) were free to talk about how Mmmhops came to be.
When did you decide, "It makes sense for Hanson to make beer"?
Taylor Hanson: About two years ago we first started talking about it. Its a lot easier to work hard at something youre passionate about. Whenever you have a new idea, you go, How passionate am I about this? Do I want to fight for this idea? We were talking about things natural to our evolving fan base, and at the end of the last album cycle, we said, "Gosh, you know, we should do a beer." Our fans are now of the age that many of them have been drinking for years, and its something were really into and know a lot about.
In what genius moment did you come up with Mmmhops? Were there alternative names on the table?
TH: I think technically Isaac came up with Mmmhops. Facetiously, we began taking titles from songs that could be the moniker for our beer. Wheres the Lager, from "Wheres the Love." Pilsner and Me, from "Penny and Me." Of course, hops is the ultimate ingredient that you think of with beer, so Mmmhops was set into the air, and everyone went, "You know, thats actually kind of genius." Like, here we are at the end of a long day, you sit down at the bar and think, Mmm, hops. You can sort of imagine Homer Simpson saying it.
What do Mmmhops and Hanson have in common?
TH: We just all feel theres this kinship between what weve been doing the last ten years, starting our own little label, and so many other breweries kind of fighting the fight in their own way. Theyre going out there saying, "Hey, heres my new beer, I dont necessarily have a huge amount of capital, but I have this thing Im really excited about."
Zac Hanson: I feel like its a symbiotic culture to music. Thats what I feel is kind of full circle about doing a beer it completes the sensory experience of your band.
TH: Lets focus on whats important here: Were finally getting into addictive substances. Whats similar between Hanson and beer they are both amazing?
So, please convince me I should drink Mmmhops.
TH: Ultimately this is about creating a very drinkable, very approachable pale ale. It has a lot of flavor, it feels good in your mouth, its a full-bodied beer. The kind of pale ale that allows the super beer hophead and the more causal beer drinker that isnt aware of every kind of microbrew to meet in a very comfortable place, and then to open up that world. A gateway drug. This is the beer that will change the way you look at craft beer.
Will there be more varieties in the future?
TH: Weve racked our brains about every possible way to go about building it. What are the next flavors we want to try, if we can get this off the ground were planning to try some different beers in different seasons, limited runs. This pale ale doesnt bite your head off, but we have a super-hoppy IPA recipe we love which is much stronger. We dont know how much well be able to do in the short term, but in time wed love to have a lager and a pilsner and try a variety of different things.
You must have a lot of awkward moments when people see you drinking in public and think, Ahhh, the Hanson brothers drink!
TH: People definitely check themselves a little bit. Theres plenty of "Wow, how can Hanson be having beer?" Somehow theres a global theory that anyone who becomes famous at a certain age is forever living that age, living in a bubble and not growing. I always find it funny when people are like, "Youre older? Oh my GOD!" Well, you are, too.
Did you study other cases of musicians who have made beer? What goes well, and what doesnt?
TH: We were more studying other breweries and beers. There are not a lot of musicians that have actually really done beer. A lot have done wine; some have done liquor.
Seriously, when is your sketchy pink liquor coming out?
TH: You know, I think if that never happens the world will be a better place.
Do you remember what you did for your 21st birthdays?
ZH: I think we were in the studio? We would have been making The Walk. It was a relatively ordinary day. We worked. We made that record in sort of a live-in studio in Oklahoma, so it was relatively uneventful.
TH: I don't remember how I spent my 21st birthday. Were we on tour? Lets just say for the record I dont remember. That's how good it was.
ZH: The funny thing about being in a band most of the things about being 21 go along with being in drunken stupors and when youre in a band, not that I should maybe admit to this, but you have access to alcohol and all kinds of things for years. Ive never gotten into cigars, but making our first record I remember smoking cigars with our friend Mark Hudson. I mean, like, its part of the lifestyle. It happens once in a while. It wasnt pretty, though.
Speaking of questionable decisions, do you suggest listening to "MMMBop" while drinking Mmmhops?
TH: I think a black hole would open up. The space-time continuum would be ripped, and wed be cast into an alternate universe. Be careful if you do try that; it might be dangerous.

Sammy Toy leaves the Fluvanna volleyball program with both the career and single season assist records, recording 777 sets-for-points in her final campaign this year.
But what will be remembered most about the Fluco captain, is her love of the game.
"Her enthusiasm on the court is so contagious, said head coach Christi Harlowe. "She plays with a passion I only wish I could duplicate in everybody."
"I enjoy it everyday," said Sammi. "Especially being able to lead them through such a great season and seeing the team rise to the challenge every game and play their hardest."
Another characteristic Coach Harlowe says the team will miss, is Sammi's ability to put her teammates first and lead by example.
"She really took that responsibility to heart, on the court as well as in the classroom and out in the community," Harlowe said. "She was always aware of people looking up to her and always wanted to make sure she was doing the best she could to help inspire them to do the best they could."
"It's kind of an awesome feeling knowing that I'm ending [my career]," Sammi said. "But I'm still helping these girls get through their high school career."
The senior is also a member of the Fluco Club at Fluvanna High School, an organized group that spends time in the community, volunteering and garnering support for the athletic programs.
This winter and spring, Sammi will continue to play volleyball with her club team and hopes to earn a college scholarship to play at the next level.
"I just love playing so much, it just gives me something to do. I feel like I'm on track when I'm playing volleyball"

One constant certainty in the era of change within the health sector is the requirement to maximise the return on every dollar invested. A continuous process improvement ethic that questions and challenges the current processes is essential in today's environment.
Process change is a prerequisite to redevelopment, restructuring, IT implementation, or continuous performance improvement. People, process and technology are the 'pillars' supporting the organisations strategy. Weaknesses in any of these three areas may put achieving the strategy at risk.
Many IT performance problems do not require new systems, but rather the re-implementation of existing software, based on a better understanding of business processes. Taking a process view of change improves systems selection, implementation planning, and implementation management. Clients secure promised gains faster, with less risk and a happier work force.
