HELL to the yes !! :) HP time ...
Day 4 - Cruising, followed by a Cruise
... was not very fun. Other than some games we played and some jokes we cracked, the cruise was really dull and the food wasn't great either. 3 hours later, we were grateful that it was over. Yet another [moderate] fail. When we got back to the hotel, I bid my sister farewell as she was going back to the US a day early, and I could not come in the cab. So I waited until my parents came back from the airport, and then I retired.

There is a "lazy river" that you can take from one part of the park to another (it even went uphill!), so that you really almost never have to get out of the water. And, since we arrived there at about 5:30pm, there were almost no lines, and the worst of the heat and sun was past. We even saw the sunset from the top of the "Speed Slide", looking ...

Rig the system so much that you can virtually plan anything and everything for them. Keep them too busy or so lazy and envious that they ll only want more of distractions waste to escape meaningless lives. Doing so, destroy, despise, mock, and deny their individual freedoms one after another to continue pseudo justify the redistributions and plans you started with. Play with guilt and fear of themselves as individuals and force onto them always more State and the idea they have to praise it for their own good, as collectives. Insinuate in their minds group think and labels, though, to keep dividing and conquer: the justification of entitlements and false rights you invent for more needs of the State and regulators.

More like people are ignorant, isn't it? Our public education system helps with that. How many kids attending public schools are motivated to actually learn, especially given the horrid curriculum? Our schools are set up to spit out nice little ignorant citizens, propagandized to respect and trust government and authority. Thus programmed, there is little need for such folks to independently think.

I have noticed that people do
I have noticed that people do not think for themselves. They are not dumb, but lazy and get by without thinking as much as possible. I see a lot of women act this way around men. I think people act dumb around others so that they can make friends. Let the pundits do politics. Let the government do policy. People feel inferior and do not think their thoughts are important.
It is frustrating...
"It's much easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled." -Mark Twain
The quote above often comes to mind - people get these thoughts in their head and convince themselves that they are true and then won't listen to anything (even facts) to the contrary. It is quite difficult, but I do believe that, given enough listening time, they can be convinced. This is something I deal with every day, but we can't give up, we need people to realize the truth about the media's lies and about the corruption in so many of our politicians today.
Why are people so dumb?
They aren't dumb. They were born into this world with the same eyes and functioning mind as you.
What they are is covetous. They unjustly want. Ever seen the picture of three monkeys covering their eyes, ears, and mouth? Jesus died because of them. Perfect men are a threat to everything they'd hide from.
One of the things covetous people unjustly want is to think that they're smarter than everybody else, that they're surrounded by retards and sheep, something less than them. They want to feel like they're enlightened.
A user would take advantage of that, and control them through flattery, and prestige. they'd offer those people a cut of something else they unjustly want; a share of all the dumb peoples labor and property; slaves.
When you see nothing but dumb people around you, soulless animals, why not just take them as your servants? Put them in your field. Strap them to a plow.
There's nothing easier to control than a covetous person who thinks everyone around them is dumb. You WON'T be able to save them all, but once you've decided they're dumb, you won't be able to help a single one of them. All you can do is domesticate a dumb animal.
They lost the knowledge their great, great grand parents had
Check this out: Historically one of the greatest poems ever written, how many ever read it, and how many if they did, would even understand it?
People are not dumb. They
People are not dumb. They are just like me and you and I still keep an open mind because once you start to see everyone else as dumb you will stop discovering, growing, and maturing yourself. If you treat a child like a baby he will act like a baby and if you treat an adult like a child he will act like a child.
I will never give up on my friends and family, and myself because the only knowledge that is true was revealed to me. I did not think myself into supporting liberty. I fought every day since I was little not to follow the crowd over the cliff. I want to seek and follow what is true. This is a journey where the world becomes a revelation. You and I cannot do this for other people, but they are capable of doing it themselves. Be an example and educate with truth and those hungry for answers will find them.
The mandatory government
indoctrination and training gulag.
Whether you want to call it igorance or stupidity...
...the minds of modern Americans definitely do not compare favorably with their ancestors'.
The average person in the 19th century knew and enjoyed discussing politics and even economics. Go into any Irish bar or German biergarten in 1876 and I'll bet you a gold eagle you could find someone talking about the damn Republicans and their scheme for inflationary fiat currency (with this fine Irish or German chap being invariably a [Jeffersonian] Democrat). Good luck with that today. Now, to have a good political conversation, you have to go online to a place like the DP where such people are concentrated from all over the country, because in real life they;re few and far between.
It's a question of interest vs. apathy, and the cause of the apathy IMO is the total lack of real choices in politics (echo not a choice).
And also education, people have never been educated more than they are today, but on average it seems to me people are less knowledgeable and certainly have less capacity for critical thought - so what does that tell you about he function of "education" in modern America?
...and on top of all this, (real) conversation itself seems to be on the decline, thanks to "social media." Though the decline started, I think, with television. When the blinking lights took over the evening living room, family and neighborhood interaction went out the window.
"Alas! I believe in the virtue of birds. And it only takes a feather for me to die laughing."
you said it...
people stopped reading. And, the media that used to keep the gvt. somewhat honest is now part of the cabal. We are definately a nation of idiots.
I feel you
on this. I totally understand the frustration when people put so much emphases and spend so much money on sports. If people would put half as much energy into political action or expanding their minds intellectually, we wouldn't be in such trouble. Don't get me wrong, if you like sports I am cool with that, but people seriously would be better off putting some of that focus into something else. I think people have always been like this though. Sports and side entertainment have been around for centuries. Throughout history there are always those who found importance in paying attention, and those that didn't. I love reading, learning, practicing my musical instrument etc. which is probably part of the reason I was drawn to Dr. Paul, who in my opinion, is a true intellectual.
As Paul supporters, we shouldn't be too quick to dismiss sports.
After all, Tim Tebow, Arian Foster, Chris Carr, Tim Thomas, and Peyton Hillis are known Ron Paul supporters too.
BTW, THIS sports fanatic is proudly writing in Ron.
I don't play, I commission the league.
I'm not writing off sports
I agree that sports does have a place in our society, and I understand why people like it. I just wish we could put the same time, energy, and money into some of the other problems we face, both in society and in our own lives. Even though we have such a horrible economy, people are still willing to spend hundreds of dollars on sports tickets, or spend their entire Sundays watching the games. I'm not saying you or all sports fans are like this, just that it kind of says something when some people can't pay their bills, but sports is still high priority to them.
Something to think about....
Marx called for getting the American people minds on SPORTS, sex, drugs, etc. And away from the things they should be doing or know.

Tried sparking people's interest in economics and Ron Paul but to no avail.

Patented Nov. 14, 1950 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 7 ILLUMINATED CHAN GEABLE SIGN DEVICE Guillermo Lopez Castillon, San Antonio, Tex. 7 Application July 25, 1947, Serial No. 763,682
1 Claim. 1
This invention relates to illuminated changeable signs, and more particularly to changeable signs of the neon tube type.
A main object of the invention is to provide a novel and improved sign device of the rotary changeable type which is very simple in construction, compact in size and reliable in operation.
A further object of the invention is to provide an improved changeable sign device which is inexpensive to manufacture, sturdy in construction and which is easy to maintain in repair.
Further objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent from the following description and claim, and from the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a sign device constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Figure 2 is an enlarged vertical cross-sectional detail view taken through the axis of and showing the operating mechanism for the rotor portion of the sign device of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a horizontal cross-sectional detail view taken on line 33 of Figure 2.
Figure 4 is a horizontal cross-sectional detail view taken on line 4-4 of Figure 2.
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary vertical cross-sectional detail view taken through the upper portion of a modification of a changeable sign rotor constructed according to the present invention.
Figure 6 is a horizontal cross-sectional view taken on line 66 of Figure 2.
Figure '7 is a view similar to Figure 6 but showing a modified cross-sectional shape for the sign rotor thereof.
Figure 8 is an enlarged horizontal cross-sectional detail view taken on line 8-8 of Figure 2.
Figure 9 is a schematic view of the electrical circuits showing the switches and switch actuating means of the changeable sign shown in Figure 2 of the drawings.
Referring to the drawings, designates generally a sign body secured to the wall I2 of a building by supporting brackets l3, I3. The sign body is hollow, as shown in Figures 6 or '7, and journalled vertically therein is a shaft member II. In the embodiment of Figures 2, and. 6, shaft l4 carries a vertically extending hollow rotor body I5 which is square in cross-sectional shape, the front and rear walls of the sign body being apertured so that the rotor body I5 may be positioned with a pair of its opposite faces in substantially flush relationship with the front and rear walls of the sign body, and by rotating the rotor body and shaft I4, successive faces of the rotor body may be presented at each of the sign body wall apertures. Each of the rotor body faces carries a sign tube I6 which may be a conventional neon tube or other suitable gas tube employed for forming signs.
In the embodiment of Figure 7, the rotor body designated at I5 is hexagonal, and each face thereof carries a sign tube I6, the faces of the rotor body being adapted to be successively presented at the respective opposed front and rear wall apertures of the sign body responsive to rotation of the shaft I4 in the same manner as described in connection with the embodiment i1- lustrated in Figures 2 and 6.
In the embodiment of Figure 2 the shaft I 4 carries a pair of transformers I8, the secondary of each transformer being connected to a series arrangement of opposing sign tubes l6, I6 by conductors I9, I9. The primary of each transformer I8 is connected by wires 20, 2|] to a respective pair of diametrically opposed contact terminals 2|, 2| carried by the top wall of the rotor body I5, the respective pairs of contacts 2|, 2| being on diameters 90 apart in the embodiment of Figures 2 and 6. In the embodiment of Figure 7 there are three transformers and the primary contacts thereof are carried. on the top wall of the rotor body on diameters apart.
Secured to the upper Wall portion of the stationary sign body I I by suitable insulators 22, 22 are pairs of opposed brush members 23', 23' adapted to engage sets of opposed contacts 2| and 2| to energize a transformer I8 when the sign tubes associated therewith are exposed at the respective front and rear surfaces of the sign II. A wire 24 connects brush member 23 to one of the alternating current source line wires. Brush member 23' is connected through a pair of contact arms 25 and 26, shown in Figure 8 to a wire 21 which is connected to the other alternating current source line wire.
Contact arms 26 and 25 are supported by suitable insulator means, not shown, from the top wall of the sign body II. Contact arm 25 is resilient in nature and is biased so that it normally engages contact arm 26. The shaft I4 carries a cam 28 of insulating material which engages the end of contact arm 25 and is shaped so as to maintain arm 25 disconnected from arm 26 until the shaft I4 has rotated into a position corresponding to a flush relation of a face of rotor body I5 with an adjacent face of the sign-body. In this position the end of arm 25 enters a notch in cam 28 whereby arm is released and engages the arm 26, thereby completing the primary circuit of the corresponding transformer I 8, said circuit bein already closed at the contacts 2I and 2| by the respective brushes 23, 23.
Mounted on the lower portion of the stationary sign body II is a motor 29 whose shaft is geared to a vertical shaft 30 journalled in a gear box 3| carried by said motor, Shaft 30 carries a gear segment 32 and a disc member 33. Segment 32 substends an angle of 90 and disc member 33 is formed with an arcuate notch 34 also subtending an angle 90 and aligned with gear segment 32. Shaft 30 is located adjacent rotor shaft I4. Shaft I4 carries a generally square cam member 35 coplanar with disc member 33 and extending at its edge adjacent the periphery of said disc member. Shaft l4 also carries a gear 36 adapted to mesh with the gear segment 32.
As shown in Figures 3 and 4, gear segment 32 is out of mesh with gear 36 forv three quarters of a cycle of rotation of shaft 30. During this period, the sign-bearing surfaces of the rotor I5 remain tationary with respect to the sign body II. When segment 32 rotates into mesh with gear 36, shaft I4 also rotates, carrying with it the sign-bearing surfaces of the rotor I5. A corner of cam member 35 enters the notch 34 of disc member 33, and when segment 32 completes its engagement with gear 36 the notch 34 moves past said corner, at the same time causing the cam 35 to be positively rotated to a predetermined position wherein the sign-bearing surfaces of the rotor are in proper flush relation with respect to the outer surfaces of the sign body.
Motor 29 is energized from the current source by wires 31 and 38, and included in wire 38 is a control switch 39. Connected across switch 39 by wires 49 and 4| is a second switch comprising a stationary contact arm 42 to which wire M is connected and a movable contact arm 43 to which wire 40 is connected. Contact arm 43 is resilient and is self-biased toward contact with arm 42. The end of arm 43 is engaged, however, by a cam 44 carried by shaft I4, said cam 44 being shaped similarly to cam 28 but being arranged on shaft I4 so that the contacts 42 and 43 are closed only during the period when gear segment 32 is in mesh with gear 36. This insures that a quarter cycleof rotation of shaft I4 will be completed even if switch 39 is opened during said quarter cycle. The sign-bearing surfaces carried by rotor I5 will therefore never be left in partly rotated positions when the control switch 39 is opened.
In normal operation of the device, switch 39 is closed and motor 29 is energized causing shaft 30 to rotate continuously. By the process above described, this causes shaft I4 to be rotated a quarter turn at successive regular intervals. As the rotation of the shaft I4 begins, the primary circuit of the transformer l8 energizing the exposed sign tubes at the starting position of rotor I5 is opened at brushes 23 and 23'. The primary circuit for the other transformer is closed at brushes 23 and 23' and at contacts 25 and 25 just as the shaft 14 completes its quarter cycle of'rotation. The first sign tubes I6, I6 are therefore dark while the rotor I5 moves through its quarter cycle of rotation and a successive set of sign tubes is energized as said quarter cycle is completed. The tubes remain I energized through substantially the time period during which gear segment 32 is out of mesh with gear .6- q
Where the cross-sectional shape of the rotor is hexagonal, as in Figure 7, the gear segment on shaft 30 and the arcuate notch in the disc member thereon subtend angles of 60, and the cam member on shaft I4 is generally hexagonal rather than square. This provides a 60 angle of rotation of shaft I4 for every complete cycle of rotation of shaft 30. The switch cams 28 and 44 are formed to open and close their associated contacts at 60 intervals instead of intervals.
In the embodiment of Figure 5 only a single transformer is employed, said transformer, shown at I8, being mounted on the top wall of the sign body I I. One of the primary wires 24 is connected to one of the alternating current source line conductors. Supported from the top wall of the sign body by suitable insulating means, not shown, are the separable contact arms 25' and 26 similar to the arms 25 and 26 shown in Figure 8, and engaging the end of arm 25' is a notched cam 28 carried by shaft I4, said cam 28' being similar to cam 28 of Figurev 8. The other primary wire 45 of transformer I8 is connected to contact arm 25', and a wire 46 connects arm 26 to the other alternating current source conductor. The secondary wires 41. and 48 of transformer I8 are connected to respective diametrically opposed brushes 49 and 50 secured by suitable insulators to the top wall of sign body II. The brushes 49 and 50 are adapted to engage respective diametrically opposed contact terminals 5| and 52 carried on the top wall of rotor I5 when respective opposite associated sign-bearing faces of rotor I5 are flush with the outer surfaces of sign body II. oppositely located sign tubes I6, I6 carried on said faces are connected in series arrangement and are connected toterminals 5| and 52 by. respective wires 53 and 54. When each'opposite set of tubes I6, I6 is in the position shown in Figure 5, said tubes are energized from the secondary of transformer I8 through the brushes 49 and 50 and the respective contact terminals 5I and 52 associated with said tubes. In this position of the rotor I5 the primary circuit of transformer I8 is closed at contact arms 25, 26 by the release of contact arm 25' into a notch of cam disc 28' in a manner similar to the manner in which contact arm 25 is released by cam 28 in Figure 8.
The other details of the structure of Figure 5 are the same as those described in connection with the preceding embodiments of the invention. The operation of the embodiment. of Fig ure 5 is therefore substantially thes ame'jasdescribed in connection with said preceding ems bodiments except that the sign tubes I6, I5 are successively energized from the secondary of the single stationary transformer I8'instead of from individual transformers carried on the rotor of the apparatus.
While certain specific embodiments of a changeable illuminated sign device have been disclosed in the foregoing description, it will be understood that various modifications within the spirit of the invention may occur to those skilled in the art. Therefore, its intended that no limitations be placed on the invention other than as defined by the scope of the appended claim.
What is claimed is: i
A changeable sign comprising a support, a regular polygonal rotor, a shaft extending through said rotor being fixed thereto and rotatably journalled in said support, a motor, a continuously rotating drive shaft operatively connected to said motor, a gear fixed on said rotor shaft, a gear segment fixed on said drive shaft engageable with said gear for intermittently rotating said rotor, a disc fixed on said drive shaft and formed with an arcuate recess on one side in registry with said gear segment, a cam member on said rotor shaft formed with arcuate side edges for engagement with said disc and arcuate corners engageable in the recess in said disc for holding said rotor while said segment is out of mesh with said gear, lamps carried by the sides of said r0- tor, circuit connecting means for said lamps including a resilient contact arm, a cam on said rotor shaft engaging said contact arm for breaking the lamp circuit in timed relation to the rotation of said rotor, a motor circuit for said motor including a control switch, and a shunt switch across said latter switch, said latter switch including a resilient contact arm engageable with a fixed contact member, and a cam on said rotor shaft associated with said first cam and said segment gear engaging said latter resilient contact arm for shunting said control switch thereby connecting the motor circuit to complete each intermittent movement of said rotor.

The yes campaign has raised $99,859, more than half that from two donors -- former publishers L.W. ``Bill'' Lane of Portola Valley, and his brother, Melvin Lane of Atherton, according to the San Jose Mercury News. Each donated $25,000. The San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Foundation donated $10,000 plus services of one employee.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Female officers force to be reckoned with
Recruitment drive looking to bump up low numbers
Why would a woman consider a career with an employer facing a class-action suit for allowing the sexual harassment, verbal abuse and bullying of its female employees? Why would a woman want to join an institution where a decision is made to mark International Women's Day with a fashion show?
In the case of the RCMP, recruits are paid very well. Canada's national police force has committed to significantly bumping up the number of women in uniform by 2025 and promised to promote more women to its senior ranks. Under significant pressure from government and outside forces, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said recently he wants half of all new recruits to be female within the next two years.
Last year, Paulson revealed an internal audit of the RCMP's workforce proved a "clear, unassailable" bias against the promotion of women in the upper ranks.
The Winnipeg Police Service, which is holding the fashion show, says the event is a way to fundraise for an international conference of women police officers to be held in the city next year. As for the optics of holding such a stereotypical event, Sgt. Sandra Martin says the show will highlight uniforms worn by female police officers over the years as well as business attire for professional women.
At least they're not having an International Women's Day bake sale.
Only 14 per cent of uniformed Winnipeg police officers are women. The national average is 17 per cent. The RCMP have 15,000 male officers and 4,000 female officers.
A Winnipeg recruiting fair held Thursday to attract women to policing jobs was sparsely attended in its first hour. The RCMP sent Const. Izza Mian to promote the advantages of joining the force.
She's a powerful weapon.
Mian laughed when she talked about telling her Muslim mother about her decision to enter law enforcement.
"In my culture, it's either health care or engineering," she said. "My mother was in shock because traditionally in Pakistan police are looked at very differently."
Mian said training was tough and there were days when she didn't think she'd make it. She's glad she persevered.
"I wanted variety. I wanted to move around the country."
A recruit fresh out of training will earn $51,000 annually. After six months, she's bumped up to $70,000. After 36 months, she'll earn $80,000.
That's more than most people in their late 20s can dream of taking home.
Mian was willing to talk about the black cloud of sexual harassment hanging over the RCMP.
"I can speak only on my experience," she said. "I haven't experienced that."
The RCMP is under new management, she said, and significant changes have been promised.
Sgt. Sandra Martin, one of only 221 female officers in Winnipeg, also cited the wages as a plus for women.
"We are very well-paid. If you were to compare the average income for women across the board, (our) salaries are well above the average."
She said the police culture has shifted as more women have climbed the ranks, fashion shows aside.
"People on my shift, I set a tone we're going to be respectful."
She said there's a trend away from young people applying to police forces.
"It's shift work. Policing generally is not a glamorous profession."
Allie Blatz, 24, has moved through the application process with the Winnipeg police. She passed her written test and the arduous physical.
She was at the recruiting fair to see what other law-enforcement jobs are out there.
"I want to do something where I'm not stuck in an office and where I'm out helping the citizens of Winnipeg."
Canada's police forces need women like Izza Mian and Sandra Martin to act as role models. They have to counteract the television stereotype of female detectives who run around in tank tops and tight jeans. They need to prove policing can be a secure and welcoming job for women.
Actually, their employers have to prove that. They have to demonstrate that their female officers will be granted the same respect and opportunities as their male colleagues.

FT. MYERS, Fla.-The State Attorney's Office says because of his age, Yoel Munoz is not eligible for the death penalty. Instead he faces life in prison if convicted of this murder.
Eyes red from crying, Yoel Munoz's brother Lazaro answered the door at his family's home Wednesday, too upset to talk. Hours earlier a Lee County grand jury indicted his 13 year old brother on first degree murder and burglary charges for the death of 51 year old Thomas Bergstrom.
Cape Coral Police said Munoz walked into this homeless camp earlier this month, armed with a knife, and stabbed Bergstrom over and over, killing him. WINK News spoke with Anthony Cashdollar who said he found Bergstorm's body.
"I said Tommy, Tommy, Tommy like 4 or 5 times and that's when I finally realized Tom was dead."
Police tell WINK News a knife and face mask, covered with blood, were found at the scene. They also discovered more evidence inside Munoz's home, like blood smeared on clothes, walls, and his bed.
Munoz was moved from a juvenile detention facility into the Lee County Jail Wednesday afternoon.
Earlier this month, WINK News spoke with the teens family, who told us their son is innocent
"The truth is going to come out and he didn't do it. I am 100% sure of that."

The Belle Vernon Bridge, also called the Speers Bridge or Speers/Belle Vernon Bridge, carries Interstate 70 across the Monongahela River from Speers east to Rostraver Township in the state of Pennsylvania. Around 1951 it replaced an earlier low-level bridge, which connected Pennsylvania Route 88 via State Street with Pennsylvania Route 906 at the I-70 east ramps, just to the south of the current bridge. The old bridge carried Legislative Route 118 and Pennsylvania Route 71 until those were moved to the new bridge when it opened.
The new bridge was authorised by President Truman on 22 June 1946.[1]
Trolley services were disrupted when a girder for the new bridge fell, severing the wires in 1951.[2] Several people were injured by flying debris when one of the supports for the previous bridge was demolished by blasting in 1955.[3]

- Terrence Jones had his strongest game of the season, scoring a season-high 27 points and narrowly missing a double-double with nine rebounds. Jones also blocked a game-high tying three shots.
- Anthony Davis posted a double-double, his 11th, tallying 16 points and 10 rebounds to go along with three blocks and two steals. Darius Miller also scored in double-figures, finishing with 13 points.
- UK held LSU to 39.6 pct. from the field, the 14th time this season the Cats have held its opponent below 40 pct.
Women's basketball
- Kentucky improved to 20-2, 9-0 SEC with wins over Auburn and Alabama last week. This is the first time in program history UK has started conference play 9-0 and UK's 20-2 start ties its best start in program history through the first 22 games. Kentucky's best start to a season was in 1982-83 (21-2). The Wildcats have also won a school-record 12 straight SEC games dating back to last season, including seven in a row at home.
- UK defeated Auburn on the road last Thursday 66-48, paced by junior A'dia Mathies' team-high 20 points and sophomore Samarie Walker's career-high 15 rebounds. UK forced the Tigers into 30 turnovers, the most in league play in the Matthew Mitchell era.
- On Sunday, Kentucky earned its third consecutive 20-win season with an 82-68 win over Alabama. The balanced scoring effort was led by senior Keyla Snowden with 14 points, while Mathies and freshman Bria Goss added 13 and 11 points, respectively. UK forced the Tide into 25 turnovers, resulting in 29 points for the Wildcats.
- UK's current 17-game home winning streak is the fourth longest in program history. The Wildcats will play host to Ole Miss on Thursday before hitting the road for three straight away contests.
- The youth-filled Kentucky gymnastics team continued to show its improvement over the weekend when it earned a dual-meet victory against Illinois-Chicago on Saturday with a season-high score of 195.05. The high mark was the best in a regular-season dual meet on the road since the 2011 squad went 195.05 at Ohio State. It is also the highest team score in a dual-meet road victory since March of 2010.
- Kentucky posted season-high team scores on bars and beam, earning a 48.825 on bars to crush the previous season high of 48.5. On beam, Kentucky earned a team score of 48.975, which is tied for the 12th-highest beam score in school history and the highest since the 2009 team posted a 49.1 on March 15 in Alaska. UK's gymnasts did well on every event, setting or tying 17 season highs and 14 career highs in the meet.
- Three Wildcats took home event title honors. Sophomore Holly Cunningham finishing first on vault with a 9.825, while junior Caitlyn Ciokajlo and senior Storey Morris finished first on uneven bars and balance beam, respectively.

- Kentucky kicked off its home portion of the 2012 spring schedule with a very successful week, going 4-0 overall with three wins over teams ranked in the top 60 in the nation.
- The Wildcats started the week with a 7-0 win over No. 29 Indiana in its home opener before taking down in-state foe Eastern Kentucky 6-0. Over the weekend, UK hosted the ITA Kickoff Weekend, where they defeated No. 57 North Carolina State 4-0 and No. 22 Tulsa 4-1 to earn a spot in the National Indoor Championships for the third consecutive season.
- Senior Eric Quigley was the headline of the week early on, as he became the school's all-time winningest singles player with his 145th singles win on Tuesday against EKU. Quigley, who now owns a 147-44 career record, passed former UK great Paul Varga, who played from 1982-85, and ended his career with a 144-80 record.
- Sophomore Alejandro Gomez was the star for Kentucky on Saturday as he clinched the decisive fourth point in UK's win over Tulsa. With the Wildcats holding a 3-1 lead and the remaining three singles matches in the third set, Gomez posted a 6-0 third-set win at No. 5 singles to seal the UK victory. The win moved UK to 47-9 at home since the start of the 2009 season and was the Wildcats' 20th victory over a top-25 team since 2009.
Track and field
- Freshman sprinter Keilah Tyson broke the women's indoor 60-meter dash freshman school record Saturday with a time of 7.36 at the Rod McCravy Memorial meet. Tyson's race tied the third fastest time in program history.
- Senior Terri-Ann Grant won the high jump, setting a personal record in the event, eclipsing 1.82m/5-11.50, the second best high jump mark in program history.
- Freshman Terence Boyd had a strong weekend at the Rod McCravy Memorial, recording the seventh best mark in UK history in the long jump Friday, and the eighth best mark in UK history in the triple jump Saturday.
- Junior Luis Orta finished second in the men's 3,000m run with a time of 8:10.58, a career-best for the Caracas, Venezuela native, and the eighth best in school history.
Swimming and diving
- Behind wins in 25 of 32 events, the University of Kentucky swimming and diving teams defeated the University of Cincinnati Bearcats on Saturday at the Lancaster Aquatic Center with the men claiming a 192-101 win, and the women claiming a 169.5-116.5 win.
- Tyler Reed led the Wildcats again on the men's side, swimming his best-ever time in a dual meet in the 50-freestyle, pacing the field with a 20.53 in that event. Also, in the 200-freestyle, Reed recorded a 1:38.95.
- Greg Ferrucci posted a 418.65 in the one-meter competition, smashing his own school record by over 20 points. Ferrucci finished first in the one meter, and three-meter competitions, pacing the field with a 423.75 in the three-meter. The 423.75 was just six points shy of the UK program record, which Ferrucci owns.
- UK rifle competed in a pair of matches over the weekend, including a 4635-4566 win over Morehead State on Sunday at UK's Barker Hall. UK also shot in the Withrow Invitational, hosted by Murray State, on Friday.
- In both matches, UK shot with a new starting lineup, featuring primarily freshmen and newcomers. In the win on Sunday, freshmen Elijah Ellis and Jonathan Pinkel led the way, with Pinkel setting new career highs in both guns.
- Kentucky returns to its grueling spring semester road schedule, traveling to Morgantown, W.Va., for a pair of conference matches to conclude the regular season. UK will face West Virginia on Saturday, Feb. 4, before facing off with North Carolina State on Sunday, Feb. 5.

8th - 12th Social Studies & History CCSS: Designed
Philanthropy of Sports Heroes and Myself
What is philanthropy? What does it mean to be a responsible citizen? Middle and high schoolers write an essay, create a poster, or write a song about one of their favorite heroes covered in the instructional activity. It appears that you'll have to select some sports heroes yourself, or consider having your learners choose public figures and research their contributions to society.
8th - 12th English Language Arts
Debating the Social and Ethical Issues in Personal Genetics and Sports
How might genetic testing impact and transform the nature of athletic sports? After reading a New York Times article on genetic testing for children to determine athletic ability, class members are broken into groups and take on the roles of parents, students, and doctors in various hypothetical scenarios involving such testing.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves. With a mistake so many made in their youth, this band singlehandedly torpedoed themselves from ascending to the heights in metal held by only the select few like Metallica and Megadeth before them. After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More
Nashville Outlaws
With the music industry pretty much dead anymore, nothing really comes off as shocking. After all, you have very desperate companies trying to hang on and make money from an industry that has about as much relevance today as the typewriter ribbon makers of the world still do. The current trend for the last half decade… Read More
Texas Hippie Coalition
I tell this story often, but it's one of my favorites of the past year. I had the chance to interview the Texas Hippie Coalition earlier this year at Rock On The Range in Columbus, Ohio. I was in a small tent with a bunch of photographers. The tent was fairly quiet really, as the much bigger adjacent… Read More
Sammy Hagar
I get it. You are Sammy Hagar. You've seen huge success in virtually every world you've entered. In music, he was the main focus of Montrose. He parlayed that into a very successful solo career. That wasn't enough, so he joined the world's largest band at the time (Van Halen), and took them to commercial heights that even they… Read More
Cavalera Conspiracy
There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time. The bad news is it's generally spotty at best, because he simply writes and releases too much music at the same time. His band Soulfly released… Read More
With a ton of speculation and even more wonderment on this band's ability to continue on without founding members Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Slipknot has returned after far too long of a layoff with .5 THE GRAY MATTER. I've listened to this release multiple times a day for the last week or so that I've had it,… Read More
Opeth simply fails as a band, at least to me. While I'll admit to never fully understanding the amazement and awe so many have for this band, I've appreciated them from afar. I've listened, and I've at least wrapped my head around what they were trying to do. Their fusing of death metal with progressive elements always made for an… Read More
Cannibal Corpse
So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly. There's an expectation of severe brutality which the band delivers time and time again. Certainly, it comes with different levels of acceptance to one's ears, but ultimately the only thing that matters if it says… Read More
Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad. Occasionally, like on FABULOUS DISASTER, they have misstepped along the way. But overall, they are one of the true powerhouses in the history of thrash metal. Since 2004… Read More
Mr. Big
As a fan of Mr. Big, I can't honestly say that many people thought that their reunion was much more than a cash grab opportunity for the guys in the band who, while immensely talented, failed to find solo success to match their collaborative efforts. It was never a question of if they could still play.… Read More
Black Label Society
It's no secret that I'm a very big fan of Zakk Wylde. I've gotten to know him over the years, and more to the point, I've truly apprecated the music the guy creates. For many, they just love hearing him play guitar. I can see that. For me though, my go to moments are not the heavier albums like STONGER THAN DEATH or ORDER OF THE BLACK, but the stuff that strays from the heavy where Zakk just lets loose as a classic rocker. My favorite thing Wylde has done is his solo release BOOK OF SHADOWS, followed closely by BLS efforts HANGOVER MUSIC VOL. VI and THE SONG REMAINS NOT THE SAME. "Darkest Days" from THE SONG REMAINS NOT THE SAME is, by far, my favorite song he's ever done, based solely on the raw emotion he puts forth singing it acoustically. Wylde has returned with a very interesting live show called UNBLACKENED; a sort of acoustic show where he and Black Label Society rework a lot of songs from his entire career for a one night only performance. It's pretty good stuff.
Notice, I said "sort of acoustic". While this is definitely not the full on, in your face Black Label Society concert, it does feature a ton of electric guitar provided by Wylde. In fact, on songs like "Sold My Soul", the solo is even more fierce than it was when originally recorded. While Wylde is definitely good at being the metal world's bad ass biker dude, his career is littered with great music that proves he could be more than successful in more of a Gregg Allman world if he chose to. Listening to the live performance of songs like "Spoke In The Wheel" on UNBLACKENED, it's more than clear that he has true passion for this style of music. Other songs, like the reworked version of "The Blessed Hellride" just sparkle. The bigger sound on "House Of Doom" is definitely welcomed as well, giving the song even more power than it had when recorded for HANGOVER MUSIC.
That's not to say that it's all good. It's not. "Stillborn" reworked as a slow, plodding ballad is a giant mistake that should never be mentioned again. Additionally, the recording of the Bill Withers tune "Ain't No Sunshine When She's Gone" is fairly unnecessary and useless; made even worse by the dumb tongue in cheek video that is now out there. "Queen Of Sorrow" also needed to be left alone, as the original version of it is far better than this heavier live version that is featured here and showcases one of Zakk's lazier vocal performances on the whole release.
PITRIFF RATING - 80/100 - This is definitely a solid effort that's brilliant at times. There are other times that aren't so brilliant, but overall this is a solid listen if you are a BLS or Zakk Wylde fan. This will fill the void nicely until a new BLS album is prepared.

Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman 311 (R).

Yisrael Beytenu leader Avigdor Liberman on Saturday rejected reports that Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid would serve as foreign minister in the next government, stating that the portfolio would remain with his party.While Liberman can not serve as foreign minister while an indictment against him for fraud is pending, he told Channel 2 on Saturday that Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu would fill in as foreign minister, and that he would retake the position after being cleared of charges.Liberman stated that Lapid was worthy to be in the coalition, but as someone who asked, "Where is the money?" as his campaign slogan, it was only natural that he go to the Finance Ministry."At the Knesset swearing in ceremony, I spoke to him, he understands his limitations despite what's said in public, he understands that he must be in the coalition. We need the widest possible coalition."Liberman said that he was not ruling out anyone for the coalition at this point, and stated that he would "praise" the inclusion of Tzipi Livni in the government.Amid specualtion that Netanyahu would take steps to advance the peace process in his coming term, Liberman stated that negotiations could only be for a long-term interim agreement with the Palestinians and a solution to the conflict was "impossible at this point."Liberman also addressed comments by his former deputy, Danny Ayalon, made earlier on Saturday, in which he stated that Liberman's undiplomatic statements had led to him being "treated like a leper" in the world.He suggested that Ayalon's criticism was sour grapes, saying that after having been left off of Yisrael Beytenu's party list he "changed 180 degrees."

The largest in the West, the Museum's collection of Chinese Buddhist sculpture is featured in Gallery 206 and Gallery 208. Elegant bronze icons, monumental stone sculptures, and colorful sculptures made of wood, clay, and lacquer illustrate China's complicated adaptation of the Indian religion of Buddhism. Early Chinese Buddhist sculpture often shows ties to Indian and Central Asian traditions; after the twelfth century, however, when Buddhism disappeared in India, Chinese sculptures often illustrate exchanges with artistic traditions from Nepal and Tibet.
Highlights of the collection include several monumental stone sculptures, a nearly lifesize gilt-bronze sculpture of Buddha Maitreya dated 486, an example of a seventh-century piece made using the dry lacquer technique, and rare and important wood sculptures with inscriptions dating to 1282 and 1385.
