PITTSBURGH, PA - (March 13, 2014) "I pause with sadness today to remember the fatal Hill District fire 10 years ago that took two Pittsburgh firefighters from us, injured 29 others, and destroyed a more than century-old church on Wylie Avenue. I remember vividly that day seeing smoke rising in the blue sky, only to find out later the terrible news.
As the Gospel read at the Funeral Mass for Charles Brace and Richard Stefanakis in March 2004 said, 'There is no greater love than this, to lay down one's life for one's friend.' As we celebrate again the rebirth of Ebenezer Church after a horrible day 10 years ago, it is a time for our whole city to reflect upon the emergency responders who are acting as heroes every day."

Mayor returning from Washington D.C. to address media Tuesday afternoon
Exerpts of Mayor's remarks to international bicycling advocates in Washington D.C.
The Department of Public Works deployed 45 trucks overnight to plow primary and secondary streets and will put out 65 trucks and tractors starting with the 6 a.m. shift today. Road treatment materials are being reserved for bridges, curves, hills and intersections.
As of 6 a.m. Pittsburgh Public Schools were running on time.
Public Works plans to plow more secondary and side streets today, and conditions should improve with daylight. However, the National Weather Service predicts temperatures will drop to minus-1 degrees overnight Monday into Tuesday, so that may lead to refreezing of some streets. Sunlight Tuesday morning should help conditions greatly.
PITTSBURGH, PA - "Pittsburgh, and the world, lost a broadcasting legend today. Starting in the late 1940s at the station that later became WAMO, Porky give many R&B performers their first airplay and notice, and went on to become a visionary champion of rock and roll. I just saw Porky last weekend, and whatever we called him -- Daddio of the Raddio, Bossman, Your Platter Pushin' Poppa -- I am honored to have called him a friend."
After a relatively intense period of snowfall late this morning and afternoon, accumulation has reached approximately 3 inches as of 3 p.m. Snowfall will continue on and off until 3 a.m. tomorrow morning and the city could receive an additional 3 inches in that time. Lighter snowfall could continue after that point into the late morning or early afternoon.
The Department of Public Works currently has 45 vehicles plowing and treating roads. At this point all primaries have been plowed once and Public Works is going back to plow some of them again. After this, Public Works will turn its attention to secondary roads. However, primaries and emergency routes remain the city's top priority and if heavy snowfall returns, vehicles will be diverted back to primaries.
Temperatures Tuesday are forecast to be just above freezing and to rise every day for the remainder of the week. This will help immensely to melt the snow and ensure that roads are drivable early in the week.
Trash collection will occur as normally scheduled tomorrow, so residents with a Monday pickup should place their trash at the curb as they normally do. If for some reason the weather does not permit Environmental Services to pick up all of the trash tomorrow, they will add the remaining trash collection routes to their Tuesday schedule.
The weather forecast has changed considerably over the last 48 hours and the city is looking at a snow event that is starting now, builds up momentum this afternoon and ends early Monday afternoon, with accumulations of 4 to 6 inches total over that time. Still, the forecast and the storm can change quickly and the Department of Public Works remains at the ready for a much larger snow event should the city receive one.
Public Works crews are pre-treating bridges, primary hills and curves and will soon begin plowing. There were 24 vehicles in service this morning with others poised to join the response when necessary.
Road conditions will become difficult this afternoon and travelers are asked to use extreme caution as they drive city streets. Roads will remain slippery throughout today's snow event and into Monday. Should accumulations exceed forecasted amounts, travelers are asked to stay off the roads unless it is absolutely necessary.
The city's 311 call center will be closed today but open at 8 a.m. Monday morning. Residents are advised that it could take 24-48 hours after the snow has stopped falling to clear city streets and the city will wait to respond to individual requests for snow plowing service until that time.
Mayor William Peduto announced Friday that the Urban Redevelopment Authority has reached an agreement with the Buncher Co. that will provide an opportunity to evaluate alternative development strategies to save and re-use the historic produce terminal building in the Strip District.
The Department of Public Works is preparing for a predicted 6 to 12 inches of snowfall starting Sunday night, and warning residents of possibly treacherous road conditions come Monday.
As of Friday morning, light snow was expected during the day Sunday with larger amounts hitting the area after 6 p.m. Sunday evening public works crews will begin working in 12-hour shifts with 50 trucks dispatched overnight and 65 trucks, including tractors affixed with plows, dispatched early Monday morning.
This is currently rated a Level 3 storm, meaning an emphasis on addressing emergency and primary routes, followed by secondary routes.
Neighborhood groups now have until March 7 to apply for $2,000 grants, with chance for extra $3,000

TIGI Bed Head Power Trip Hair Gel
Based on 2 Reviews
Sophia PangHairCurly HairAn All Time Favorite Hair GelThe best way to use this gel to hold a certain style is to run a little through running water. I have curly hair and it can be hard to get shiny, separated curls. I just use a little or a lot, depending on the occasion and run my hands through water before styling my hair. For straight looks, just use a little and streak it through your hair for a rock-inspired look. Great gel for guys and girls!2 out of 2 shoppers thought this review was helpful.

ChrisBed Head Power Trip Hair Gelit works really well if you want a hold on your hair, but not a spiky look. even if you want a spikey look you have to blow dry it after your use it, but it still doesnt make it have a spikey look. i wanted a little mohawk, and thought this would work instead of the bed head mohawk gel, cause this product cost less. it holds great if u just want it sort of in one direction or in different directions. but bed head makes one of the best hair products, so if u want it seperated in different directions, you should get it. and im a guy so all i know is how it works on guys medium hair.1 out of 1 shoppers thought this review wasn't helpful.

Some of the most frequently asked questions are about the L.L. Bean Boat and Tote bags, including how to wash them and how to soften them.
As many people know, they were originally designed for hauling ice, and some still call them ice bags (probably the same people who call refrigerators "ice boxes", like my grandmother). Friends often call them "sail bags", and some prefer the traditional "Ratsey bags".
|The zip-top versions are good for tossing from boat to boat.
|Good For Travel
There are so many uses for these bags. Some uses include:
- As Luggage for Car Travel
- As an Inexpensive Pocketbook
- As Home Storage
- For the Grocery Store/ Markets
- For Hauling Firewood
- For Boat Re-Supply
- As a Baby Bag
- For Permanent Car Storage
- For Garden Tools
- For Gifts
|A thirty year old bag now used for wood.
|A Bag for Storing Bags
|Grocery Stores and Farmers Markets
Most of the time one only has to spot-clean them with kitchen soap and a moderately abrasive scrubbing tool. Then rinse it under the faucet and put it in the sun to dry.
The canvas gets a bit discolored when wet (such as in the top picture), but dries clear. Eventually, when they get too dirty to appear in public one can relegate them to a new position such as wood hauling.
|This could more easily be done in the bathtub, but there wouldn't be as many ducks.
Many buy them in all four of the sizes that they offer, some with open tops and some with zip tops. They offer bags with long handles as well (necessary if you want to wear them over your shoulder), but most have the regular handles.
Twice a year L.L. Bean comes out with a handful of seasonal colors in addition to their "staple" colors, which include Blue (Navy), Dark Green, and Red. They have had a run of great colors the last few springs. This is not the case this spring.
- Good trim colors over the years: Pink Berry, Wild Berry, Glen Green, Sky Blue, Cornflower Blue, Cirrus Blue, Cool Green, Pink Water Lily, Green Tea, Apple Green, Warm Pink, and Wild Orchid
|Bags in size Small - some with open tops and some with zip-tops, all with regular handles.
A good, durable bag
|Stretching the definition of "monogram" even further.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- In a day that has been headlined by several college coaching hires, Tennessee and Charlie Strong could be the next school and coach to come together.
Local 8 Sports has been told that Tennessee has great interest in the Louisville coach.
Meanwhile, ESPN, and several other media outlets, is reporting that Strong is now the front-runner to fill the Vols' vacant coaching position.
Strong is in his third season at Louisville. He has the Cardinals' 10-2 on the season and headed to the Sugar Bowl to face Florida.
In Strong's two other seasons at Louisville, the Cardinals went 7-6 and 7-6.
The year before Strong was hired, Louisville went 4-8 and was last in the Big East.
The 52-year old coach was asked Monday during a news conference if he would be Louisville's coach in 2013. Strong replied, "I will say that at the right time."
Strong has ties to the SEC. Before taking the Louisville job, he was at Florida from 2002-2009. He was named the Gators' defensive coordinator in 2003.
Prior to his time in Gainesville, Strong was South Carolina's defensive coordinator from 1999-2001.
Tuesday has already seen two other SEC football positions filled. Arkansas has hired Wisconsin's Bret Bielema to fill its opening.
At Auburn, the Tigers will introduce Gus Malzahn as its coach. Malzahn is leaving Arkansas State, where he was the head coach for just one season.
Malzhan has previously coached at Auburn. He was an offensive coordinator under the now fired Gene Chizik.

- From an Anthropology of Astonishment to a Critique of Anthropology´s Common Sense: An Exploration of the Notion of Local Vitality in Africa (2005)
- This paper "From an Anthropology of Astonishment to a Critique of Anthropology´s Common Sense: An Exploration of the Notion of Local Vitality in Africa. In: Bayreuth African Studies Online, No. 1 (March 2005)" is the introduction to the volume "Between Resistance and Expansion. Explorations of Local Vitality in Africa" edited by Peter Probst and Gerd Spittler (Berlin, Hamburg, Münster: LIT, 2004). The volume grew from an international symposium on "Local Vitality and the Globalization of the Local" convened by the Humanities Collaborative Research Center "Local Action in Africa in the Context of Global Influences" (SFB/FK 560) at Bayreuth University in May 2002. The paper and the attached table of contents may stimulate interest in casting a look at the entire volume. Be it the vitality of African art, African popular culture or African religious ideas – invoking the notion of vitality has become a common practice in Africanist discourses. Most often, the reason for this is to emphasize the unexpected and astonishing strength of certain cultural fields of Africa. But what is really meant with the notion of local vitality beyond its metaphorical and mainly rhetorical usage, beyond the seemingly unforeseen and unexpected? The authors locate the answer to this question in a hidden, though powerful paradox. Celebrating local vitality thus means to celebrate the falsification of one of anthropology's most cherished assumptions. When we ask about local vitality, we are asking about the vitality of weak units in the face of structurally different and more powerful ones. At the same time however, the invocation of vitality points to the problematic of such a perspective and the way how anthropology is constantly seeking to call this assumption into question. It is argued to acknowledge this paradox and move beyond established scenarios of subjugation and subjection by a critical investigation of the variations of local agency in the context of debates on identity and self-assertion, locality and appropriation, and rivalry and resistance.

- Globalization in a Local Context - Perspectives and Concepts of Action in Africa : An Introduction (2005)
- Typical shortages of the public debate on globalization are reflected in the academic discussion such as the distorting simplicity of catchwords like the "global village", "jihad vs. McWorld", the "new global age" or the assumption that globalization is a completely new phenomenon. However, the academic debate itself is still restricted. There are only few attempts to cover and analyze processes of globalization on a broader basis in all parts of the world: not only the "North", but also the "South". Despite the multi-centric character of the world, the analysis of processes of globalization has remained largely confined to the North, while events in Africa, for instance, are taken notice of only when they are of specific relevance to the North. This paper, which originally is the introduction to an edited book (published in German), tries to analyze these shortages and to present approaches which look at the processes of globalization from different and perhaps more "African" perspectives. However, this overview shows that it is still debated, whether established concepts of the globalization paradigm can be confirmed from an African perspective or whether they have to be revised or even rejected.
