Updated: October 7, 2012 8:11AM
Murdered teenage rapper Lil Jojo tweeted his location on the South Side street where he was killed just hours before he was gunned down in a hail of bullets Tuesday night, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
JoJo — whose real name was Joseph Coleman — had been feuding with rival rappers Lil Reese, Lil Durk and Chief Keef as well as with the Black Disciple street gang for months before he was fatally shot at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday near 69th
and Princeton in the Englewood neighborhood.
At 3:13 p.m. Tuesday, Coleman tweeted, "Im on #069 Im Out Here," then gave a cell phone number to another Twitter user who expressed doubts that Coleman had traveled to Englewood from his home in Altgeld Gardens.
Police sources say they are examining if an online war of words in recent months is connected to Coleman's death.
Witnesses said Coleman, 18, was riding double on a bike — standing on the back — when a car pulled up and someone fired six or seven shots.
Coleman ran but was hit in the back before making it to a nearby home, where he later died outside as people screamed "JoJo!" witnesses said.
A witness said the shots came from an tan, older model, four-door Ford Taurus that was riding low in the back.
After Coleman collapsed, people came to his aid. There was little blood, but Coleman's eyes were dilated, cold and fixed. "It was the like the look of death," another witness said.
When asked if he could hear them, Coleman attempted to nod. Paramedics arrived about 10 minutes later, witnesses said, and Coleman was still breathing and gurgling. But he later died.
Hours after the murder, on Chief Keef's Twitter account, a message was posted saying, "Its Sad Cuz Dat N---- Jojo Wanted To Be Jus Like Us #LMAO."
LMAO is slang for "laughing my ass off."
That Tweet drew angry responses among Chief Keef's 224,000 Twitter followers.
His account later carried Tweets claiming it had been hacked and saying, "If u dnt talk 2 me or dro my manager . . . it's not real."
Later on, tweets from Keef's account grew more philosophical, with one stating: "I firmly believe the world will sort itself out in the end."
The 17-year-old, Chicago-born Chief Keef — whose real name is Keith Cozart — signed a record deal in June with Interscope, the same rap label of superstars including Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Eminem and Diddy.
Keef's manager, Rovan Manuel, initialy told the Sun-Times on Wednesday he was unaware of the controversy. It wasn't until being told about the Tweet by the Sun-Times that Manuel realized why his phone rang incessantly Wednesday. His number was posted on Chief Keef's Twitter page.
But Manuel told the Sun-Times he didn't believe the message meant "anything personally." He said Keef had a beef with JoJo only because "that kid made songs like Keef."
"A lot of the stuff Keef does, that's just cause he's a kid," Manuel said. "People forget that he's a kid, a teenager … and kids make mistakes. He makes mistakes the hard way."
Chicago police officers were on the street Wednesday night looking for Coleman's killer. Police are looking to see if his murder is connected to an ongoing conflict in Englewood between the Gangster Disciples and Black Disciples street gangs that has been playing out in a series of threats on social media sites.
"Two gangs are fighting each other, going at each other all over the Internet and this is all stemming from that," a police source said.
Police are also looking into whether Coleman had gang affiliations, and whether Keef or any of his associates are connected to the gang conflict or Coleman's murder, the source said.
Many of Chief Keef's Tweets include a hashtag notation "#300" — a known reference, police say, to the Black Disciples street gang. And Coleman appears to have been warring online with the Black Disciples for months.
On a YouTube account purporting to belong to Coleman, a video of the rapper and other teens brandishing automatic weapons was posted on May 25. Coleman may have tempted fate, taunting the 300 factions of the Black Disciples gang.
"These n----s claim 300 but we BDK," Coleman raps repeatedly in the video. BDK is street slang for "Black Disciple Killers."
And just hours before he was killed, a video of a street confrontation between Coleman and another teen was posted on the same YouTube account.
Coleman's family says the teen arguing with Coleman in the video is a rapper friend of Chief Keef's.
An earlier video purports to show Coleman chasing the same rapper and another man who Coleman's family say is also pal of Chief Keef's.
Coleman's grieving mom, Robin Russell, said she was aware of the beef between her son, Chief Keef and his allies — but not how serious the dispute had become.
"I want justice for my son," the stunned mother said as mourners gathered at her Altgeld Gardens public housing complex rowhouse Wednesday night. "It's a stupid and senseless killing.
Russell said she'd heard there were people willing to pay for her son's murder.
"It wasn't a gang thing, it was a rap thing," she said. "My son was going to get a rap deal like some of them have and they were jealous."
Russell said her son grew up in Englewood and attended Robeson High School with an ally of Chief Keef's. He was visiting with friends and was riding on a pal's bike when he was killed, relatives said.
He'd recently been discussing a record deal with star rapper Waka Flocka and Brick Squad, his mom added. He hoped to earn enough money to take his mom, three sisters and two brothers to live in Florida, she said.
Coleman's aunt Sonia Mares-DuBose said Coleman had been trying to "do like a Tupac and Biggie thing and get under the skin" of his rivals, but not to provoke violence.
Coleman's family was well aware of the Tweets on Chief Keef's account following the slaying. And upset.
"How do you go on Twitter and brag about it?" she said.
In Keef's responses on his account, Chicago-born rap star Lupe Fiasco was called out, with the Keef account posting: "wen I see him I'ma smack him like da lil b---- he is #300."
On his account, Fiasco, who recently told a radio station he was scared of the violence Chief Keef represents, replied "I cant go 4 that @ChiefKeef & i cant let the people i love, including you my n----, go 4 that either. We kings not f------ savages and goons"
Later, Fiasco sounded despondent — and done with rap, Tweeting: "but my heart is broken and i see no comfort further along this path only more pain. I cannot participate any longer in this... My first true love was literature so i will return to that...lupe fiasco ends here..."
Late Wednesday, rapper 50 Cent Tweeted to Chief Keef: "if you still in new York come see me"

Hands-On Review:Martin Guitar's Responsible Guitar-Making Initiative
Tonewoods in the 21st century and the new GPCPA Mahogany
By Jon Chappell
Senior Editor, Harmony Central
Like many conscientious companies, Martin Guitar has taken steps to reduce their energy footprint. Throughout their plant they've installed energy-efficient windows, better insulation on their roof and exterior walls, and automated controls to turn off the lights when no one's in the room. In addition, they've undertaken such industrial measures as filtering returned air from their dust collection system to reduce cooling and heating costs and installing sophisticated power-conditioning equipment on the larger motors in their factory to facilitate more efficient operation.
But Martin's biggest challenge in lessening their environmental impact has been to maintain their core business—guitar-making—by adapting to two of the world's biggest crises: the rapidly diminishing supply of tonewoods, and the ever-tightening regulation regarding these endangered natural resources. "It's been harder and harder to acquire traditional tonewoods from certified sources—especially mahogany and spruce," says Martin's Dick Boak. "And one by one, the traditional tonewood choices will all become regulated, restricted, or possibly rendered unavailable completely."
Martin works closely with the agency that certifies wood, the Forest Stewardship Council. "The FSC audits the process of responsible wood-harvesting, from the cutting of the tree all the way to the finished product," explains Boak. "They monitor every step. They come to our factory to ensure that every piece of certified wood is correctly accounted for. They check that the quantities match the invoice. And they make sure the loggers are doing the same thing, and that every step in the chain is on the up-and-up.
"The future of musical instruments lies in responsible forestry," continues Boak. "We need to educate guitarists so that they will be more open-minded when considering new instruments made with certified woods."
In moving ahead, Martin is also looking to alternative woods in preparation for the new generation of guitars. "We've tested dozens and dozens of tonewoods to identify what properties make a good guitar so that we're prepared for these eventualities," says Boak. "The onus is on guitarmakers to do our homework and do whatever it takes to make great guitars with the materials available. Our biggest challenge then is educating the public in how viable these alternatives are. Martin is actively moving forward to produce guitars from strictly North American wood species, such as certified cherry from Pennsylvania, and we're constantly looking for other solutions. The trick is to experiment, and Martin has been experimenting for 25 years."
The GPCPA Mahogany—a grand performance cutaway
It's important to remember that while Martin looks to new materials for the 21st century, they continue to build instruments from traditional tonewoods adhering to responsible guitar-making standards. One of their newest models is the "GPCPA Mahogany," from the highly successful Performing Artist Series. The GPCPA Mahogany features the Grand Performance body, Martin's newest shape, with a rounded cutaway for full access to higher frets, and sports Martin's high-performance neck, which is 1-3/4" at the nut, 2-1/8" at the 12th fret, and whose string width is only 2-3/16" at the saddle. This allows the strings to be more parallel than in most other acoustic guitars, fanning out less at the bridge. In other words, the strings are wide enough for fingerstyle but not too wide for flatpicking. This narrow width, near-parallel string spacing, and high-performance qualities of a fast and comfortable feel are ideal for electric players or performers who already play acoustic-electrics but are looking for a more traditional acoustic playing experience.
The neck, back, and sides are crafted from certified mahogany while the top is certified European spruce (ironically, no American-grown spruce is FSC certified yet). The mahogany body is stained with a tasteful reddish color that lends a hint of a vintage cherry finish—a nice blend of the browner mahogany with a suggestive hint of a rosewood variety. But the GPCPA Mahogany is definitely a mahogany guitar, and produces all the qualities for which that wood is famous. "The unique combination of mahogany with the GPC body shape produces a tremendously powerful tone," offers Boak, "at once breathier, airier, lighter, and more crystalline, but not tinny."
The Fishman® F1 Aura is the latest in acoustic-guitar amplification systems, a state-of-the-art technology that combines an undersaddle piezo pickup with digital microphonic imagery. Co-developed by Martin and Fishman and currently appearing only on Martin guitars, the F1 Aura features just two small knobs and an LED display, subtly installed on the side of the guitar. The knob closest to the guitar's soundboard is the volume control. Hold it down for a couple of seconds to invoke the chromatic tuner (good for alternate as well as standard tunings). Touch the knob again and it's restored to volume operation.
The other knob also serves double-duty as a blend control between the pickup sound and the Image sound, or as a selector that allows you to choose among nine onboard acoustic models or Images—studio recordings of the GPCPA using classic high-end microphones that are captured modeled, and stored as onboard settings. The Images included for the GPCPA are actually the guitar itself as it is miked in different configurations. Using the blend control allows you to sculpt a sound that takes the best of both worlds—the fullness and realism of an Image with the punch of a piezo.
A mahogany model for today's performing artist
More focused than a D-18, the GPCPA is perfect for fitting into a multi-instrument live ensemble or a complex mix. The fast and comfortable neck will be welcomed by performers who want to play all night without fatigue, and the F1 Aura ensures you get the purest, most accurate re-creation of your guitar's acoustic tone into your system. And all the playability and great tone of a GPCPA Mahogany is yours to enjoy with a clear conscience.

2010 Sienna
Hi Everyone;
Does anyone know when the 2010 models come out? I hear that the 2010 Sienna will be re-engineered. Does anyone know if this is true? And if so, what changes will there be?
Does anyone know when the 2010 models come out? I hear that the 2010 Sienna will be re-engineered. Does anyone know if this is true? And if so, what changes will there be?
The new redesign apparently won't come out until the 2011 model year. Rumor has it that it will have a longer wheelbase and include second-row folding seats (like Chrysler Sto 'n Go). The 2010 version will be little changed from 2009, and the prices will stay the same, as well.
No, the rear driveline isn't driven unless moderate to high acceleration is used (and I suspect only in lower gears, 1st and 2nd) or a front wheel slips due to roadbed conditions. Practically a "reverse" F/awd vs R/awd, of the new system now used in the Porsche 911/997 to replace the VC.
Yep. we actually looked for the 2009's and really couldn't find what we want in terms of options. We're in Iowa. The dealer tried to sell us a 2010, I said we'd wait a few months for the incentives. He "guaranteed" us there would not be any for at least 6 months. Told him I'd buy today if he would reimburse me if an incentive did come out in the next 6 months....he said no. I said "then that's not much of a guarantee, is it?"
thanks ateixeira! that's what I figured. Besides, it doesn't hurt us any to wait 3 or 4 months. The guy was pushing hard for us to buy then but the look on his face when I asked if his manager would cut me a check for the difference if in fact there were incentives in the next 3 months...priceless.
I know I've asked this before but didn't get a reply
Anyone really know what the true invoice price on the 2010 sienna is? Dealers are willing to show me the "invoice" and have offered $50 over invoice as their sale price but come on, they're really not just making $50??? I know that there's a manufacturer's rebate, 2% of the MSRP and a fleet incentive from Toyota Motor Sales of $1000. Assuming that the MSRP is $30K, can I assume that the profit margin is $1600 above the quoted invoice price? Any thoughts as to what a fair profit for a dealer would be?
ok, looks like I've finally found a 2009 model that is still out there. However, it's about 4 hours away from our local dealer. Our local dealer wants to charge me a fee to go get the vehicle, is that typical? Heck, I might as well drive up there myself and buy it from that dealer.
don't know which dealer has it. but would be easy enough to find since it's within a 300 mile radius. Part of my argument with the local dealer is that I could easy pick up the phone myself and call around and buy the sienna from that dealer and not have to pay their $500 delivery fee. Figure, 2 guys driving, 600 miles round trip at 70 miles an hour. Should take 8.5 hours...let's say 10 hours. That's 20 hours of labor for 2 guys...I'm paying them $25 per hour to go pick up a car? Seem kind of high.
by the way, I appreciate the input ateixeira!!
ck90211 Posts: 129Oh how I wish Toyota would just bring the Estima hybrid (47 mpg) here. Doesn't Toyota know there are Previa/Prius owners all over who are holding out for a hybrid minivan with 40+ mpg? Please put in 2.4L hybrid system (not the 3.3L from Highlander Hybrid). I want 47 mpg, not 27.
yatesjo Posts: 186Marketing sells 0-60MPH because people buy 0-60MPH. Marketing's job is to figure out what people are looking for and tailor the product selling points to what the customers want. Selling underpowered vehicles with excellent fuel economy is a hard sale and unless gas prices go to the stratosphere, an ineffective sales pitch.
The fuel economy is ultimately a trade off on safety. All the structure and equipment used to make crashes more survivable add weight and that weight requires more power to get moving. Having more power means using more fuel and unless you are willing to accept taking 30+s at full throttle to get to 60MPH, you aren't going to achieve 40+ MPG in a 2 ton package at the current tech level. Around here that leisurely acceleration even on surface roads will get you rear ended before a week is out.
AS you may already be well aware there are numerous FWD vehicles in the market today with engines rated above 200HP that automatically detuned/derate the engine in the lower gear ranges, some quite RADICALLY with wheelspin/slip, otherwise the insurance companies would probably step up and "outlaw" FWD and F/awd altogether.

There's probably been more big game shot with Remington Core-Lokts than any other ammunition. For more than six decades, it has remained the leader in centerfire hunting ammunition. One of the first controlled-expansion bullet designs, it's still one of the most effective ever developed. Its progressively tapered copper jacket is locked to a solid lead core for perfectly controlled expansion and high weight retention. The Soft Point Core-Lokt (SPCL) offers a broad frontal area for high-energy impact and rapid expansion. Bullet cores are "Lokt" in place to provide deep penetration. The Pointed Soft Point Core-Lokt (PSPCL) style has a Spitzer-shaped profile for improved velocity and flat trajectory. For the varmint hunter, the explosive Power-Lokt® (PL) delivers unmatched performance at long-range with minimal chance of ricochets. An ultra-thin copper jacket is electrolytically plated to the lead core for near-perfect concentricity and balance. For exceptional long-range performance on medium-sized game the Bronze Point (BP) delivers high-power ballistics and a flat trajectory. On impact, the bronze tip is driven backward to create rapid, controlled expansion.

Tesla to kill the Roadster in 2011, new version coming in 2013?
by Damon Lavrinc (RSS feed) on Jan 29th, 2010 at 7:30PM
You read that right. Tesla Motors will stop building the Roadster in 2011. Wired's Autopia was digging through the papers filed by Tesla to the Securities and Exchange Commission for its IPO and came across with this nugget: "We do not plan to sell our current generation Tesla Roadster after 2011 due to planned tooling changes at a supplier for the Tesla Roadster." As everyone's aware, the current iteration of the Tesla Roadster is built in Hethel, England by Lotus using Elise/Exige underpinnings. Judging by the quote above, that means the Elise/Exige is due to be replaced by a new... Read More

I Call Fives
Described as "hyper-catchy and highly caffeinated" by the Philadelphia Weekly, I Call Fives has become known for their high-energy sound and relentless stage presence. Identified as front-runners in the next generation of pop-punk, the band is ready to take charge of the opportunity to assert themselves against the backdrop of the ever-exploding New Jersey scene by presenting audiences with straight-forward, feel-good pop-punk.
Since their formation in 2006, I Call Fives has been extending their horizons beyond the East Coast, hitting stages in 33 states across the country on a rigorous touring schedule. In addition to aiding their notoriety, their journey has led to successful sales their debut 2008 EP First Things First, despite the band offering the album for free across the Internet. First Things First has been highly acclaimed, earning the band multiple spots on Distortion Radio's top 100 Songs of 2008, among other accolades.
Kicking off 2010, I Call Fives returned to Baltimore, MD to record their second EP, Bad Advice, for No Sleep Records with Kory Gable of Pin Up Recordings. With this new release and non-stop touring to follow, 2010 will surely be the biggest year yet for I Call Fives.- nosleeprecs.com

(CNN) -- The conservative group American Future Fund released Friday its first television ad in a multi-platform campaign against former Sen. Chuck Hagel as President Barack Obama's defense secretary nominee.
The spot will air on cable television in New York, the group said, and is critical of the state's senior senator, Chuck Schumer and his support for Hagel's nomination.
"After a career supporting Israel, Schumer now backs Chuck Hagel for defense secretary," the narrator reads. "The same Chuck Hagel who supported direct negotiations with Iran after Iran's President threatened to wipe Israel off the map."
The spot also makes a couple unsupported suggestions: "How badly does Chuck Schumer want to be the Senate Majority Leader? And what did President Obama promise him?"
The ad mirrors the claims against Hagel and Schumer the group leveled in a print advertisement published on Thursday.
Schumer and Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-California, are perhaps the two highest-profile Jewish senators who have announced their support for Hagel after speaking privately with him in recent days.
Hagel is a former two-term Republican senator from Nebraska and is seen as Obama's most controversial nominee for his second-term cabinet. Hagel has faced criticism some on both sides of the aisle because of past positions he has taken on Israel, Iran and U.S. military action.
Critics have also objected to his description in 1998 of an ambassadorial nominee as "openly, aggressively gay" -- for which he has since apologized - and his 2007 remark that the "Jewish lobby intimidated lawmakers."
His supporters recently launched a group to come to his defense, but have not yet announced a pro-Hagel campaign plan.
-- CNN's Kevin Bohn and Gregory Wallace contributed to this report

Fedor has announced that will come out of retirement if 'God' tells him that its right.

Fedor has announced that will come out of retirement if 'God' tells him that its right.
Do you think he'll ever pay him a visit?
If he does what do you think Fedor will do, stay with the M1 or maybe have a stab at the UFC?
I assume he means Dana with a big sack of cash!!!
If he comes back its either to make money or fight top guys & reestablish his legacy as one of the greatest fighters to fight MMA. Either way he needs to be in the Octagon to do it.
Judging on his past few fights his best days are long past, he had an incredible run in Pride but time catches up with the best, plus I never felt he was comfortable within the constraints of a cage.
The top level of the Heavyweight division would be a murderers row for him to return to, especially after such a lay-off
Stay retired Fedor.
If God tells him to come out of retirement, it yet again proves that a) there is no god and b) if there is, he is a sick fucker, I mean, tells his staff to bum kids and gives them top jobs, now wants a GOAT to come back and tarnish his legacy further....nah, leave us with the good memories Feddy baby, I can still overlook the back end of the career as it stands.
Sig awaiting witty quote from someone.
I was expecting "Fedor will tell God when to come back".
Solid supporter of: Tomasz Adamek. Maurício Rua. Daniel Ghiţă
One things for sure the first thing he will need is a good confidence guy as his head and confidence will be shot to pieces after them losses If he can rediscover his confidence and believe he is the greatest again then he might have a chance if not forget about it.
Where is god of cw??? He will have the answer.
'I'm not saying I couldn't find a few minutes a day to read a forum, but somehow I've managed to make it through these past few years without being called a faggot on a daily basis.'
It was his descent into religious obsession that made him lose interest in fighting IMO. He needs to stay away now.

GM responds to more Camaro transmission failure talk on enthusiast forum
by Chris Paukert (RSS feed) on Dec 4th, 2009 at 5:59PM
Back in July, we first told you about a serious driveline issue that was cropping up in Chevrolet's new-for-2010 Camaro. In specific, output shafts were failing on V8 manual transmission SS models, a malady that was generally tied to hard launches or use of the car's launch control system. The problem eventually resulted in General Motors conducting some warranty repairs and briefly issuing a factory hold of the SS while it fixed the problem, and as far as we knew, that was that. That was the last we heard of the issue until AB reader Billie informed us that talks regarding output shaft... Read More

Haiti's Tragic History Is Entwined with the Story of America - Page 3
Page 3 of 3"Had Toussaint lived, it's very likely that he would have remained in power long enough to put the nation on a firm footing, to establish an order of succession," Finkelman told me in an interview. "The entire subsequent history of Haiti might have been different."
Instead, the island nation continued a downward spiral.
In 1804, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the radical slave leader who had replaced L'Ouverture, formally declared the nation's independence and returned it to its original Indian name, Haiti. A year later, apparently fearing a return of the French and a counterrevolution, Dessalines ordered the massacre of the remaining French whites on the island.
Though the Haitian resistance had blunted Napoleon's planned penetration of the North American mainland, Jefferson reacted to the shocking bloodshed in Haiti by imposing a stiff economic embargo on the island nation. In 1806, Dessalines himself was brutally assassinated, touching off a cycle of political violence that would haunt Haiti for the next two centuries.
Jefferson's Blemish
For some scholars, Jefferson's vengeful policy toward Haiti – like his personal ownership of slaves – represented an ugly blemish on his legacy as a historic advocate of freedom. Even in his final years, Jefferson remained obsessed with Haiti and its link to the issue of American slavery.
In the 1820s, the former President proposed a scheme for taking away the children born to black slaves in the United States and shipping them to Haiti. In that way, Jefferson posited that both slavery and America's black population could be phased out. Eventually, in Jefferson's view, Haiti would be all black and the United States white.
Jefferson's deportation scheme never was taken very seriously and American slavery would continue for another four decades until it was ended by the Civil War. The official hostility of the United States toward Haiti extended almost as long, ending in 1862 when President Abraham Lincoln finally granted diplomatic recognition.
By then, however, Haiti's destructive patterns of political violence and economic chaos had been long established – continuing up to the present time. Personal and political connections between Haiti's light-skinned elite and power centers of Washington also have lasted through today.
Recent Republican administrations have been particularly hostile to the popular will of the impoverished Haitian masses. When leftist priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide was twice elected by overwhelming margins, he was ousted both times – first during the presidency of George H.W. Bush and again under President George W. Bush.
Washington's conventional wisdom on Haiti holds that the country is a hopeless basket case that would best be governed by business-oriented technocrats who would take their marching orders from the United States.
However, the Haitian people have a different perspective. Unlike most Americans who have no idea about their historic debt to Haiti, many Haitians know this history quite well. The bitter memories of Jefferson and Napoleon still feed the distrust that Haitians of all classes feel toward the outside world.
"In Haiti, we became the first black independent country," Aristide once told me in an interview. "We understand, as we still understand, it wasn't easy for them – American, French and others – to accept our independence."

Relive the bloody battles that raged across the frontier and examine the weapons that played a pivotal role in America's westward expansion.
- Ride with the cavalry and re-examine their battles along the frontier.
- Learn the tales behind events like the Wagon Box fight of 1867.
- Visit the wreck of one of the German submarines sunk off the North Carolina coast.
After the Civil War, the military once again turned its attention to the west, which mostly meant protecting settlers from Native American raids and guarding the shifting borders of a swiftly growing nation.
MILITARY TECH saddles up for an exhilarating ride into the rough-and-tumble world of the Old West. See how weapons created for the War Between the States were put to use policing the frontier and get an up-close look at the cutting edge technologies of the late 19th century. From the world's most complete collections to the firing range, WILD WEST TECH spotlights every aspect of these important artifacts, and historians help document the encounters where they proved their worth, like Pancho Villa's raid and the Wagon Box fight of 1867, where 26 soldiers and six citizens held off 800 Sioux.

To watch the post-match press conferences click on the manager images above.
Chelsea moved up to second in the Barclays Premier League with a 2-1 London derby victory over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho backed his strikers ahead of the game and Fernando Torres responded by scoring his first goal since October to put Chelsea in front. In-form Palace striker Marouane Chamakh scored his third goal in as many games to equalise, but Ramires notched his first Barclays Premier League goal of the season with a fine strike to restore Chelsea's advantage before half-time.
Palace have been resurgent under new manager Tony Pulis and had chances to get something out of the game, but Chelsea held on to secure a seventh win out of eight home matches in the top flight and close the gap on leaders Arsenal to two points. Defeat for Palace ensured they remain in the relegation zone, but Pulis will take plenty of heart from their display.
Petr Cech replaced veteran goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer as Mourinho made six changes to the Chelsea side who beat Steaua Bucharest on Wednesday night in the UEFA Champions League. Crystal Palace left-back Dean Moxey was ruled out with a hamstring problem, so Adrian Mariappa came into the starting line-up.
Chelsea enjoyed plenty of possession early on and were in front after 16 minutes, when Willian's shot from 20 yards out was tipped on to a post by Julian Speroni and Torres reacted quickly to pounce from close range. Branislav Ivanovic almost doubled the home side's lead four minutes later as he burst into the penalty area and flashed a right-foot strike narrowly wide of the far post.
Palace responded and were level after 29 minutes when Chamakh produced a fine left-foot finish to guide home Joel Ward's cross. Eden Hazard was a constant menace to the Palace defence and the winger cut in from the left to set up Ramires, who let fly from 20 yards out with a venomous right-foot strike to put Chelsea back in front 10 minutes before half-time.
Chelsea made a bright start to the second half and Willian raced away down the left and picked out Juan Mata four minutes after the break, but the Spain midfielder scuffed his left-foot shot wide. Palace were posing problems for the Chelsea defence and Jason Puncheon produced some trickery to fashion a chance for himself, but Cech got down well to save the winger's right-foot strike.
Yannick Bolasie spurned a chance to equalise when he headed over from 10 yards, then Damian Delaney also headed over as Chelsea lived dangerously.
Torres almost gave Chelsea breathing space, but his right-foot effort was well saved by the agile Speroni after 74 minutes. Palace came close again three minutes later when Stuart O'Keefe was thwarted by Cech and Ivanovic produced some desperate defending to deny the substitute from the rebound.
Ramires could have made sure of the win five minutes from time, but he fluffed his shot and Speroni gathered. The Palace goalkeeper made a final double save to deny Andre Schurrle and Demba Ba in a hectic finale.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho: "It was tense, it could be four or 5-1 but could also be 2-2. It is tense because you feel the chances you lose, and that you could kill your opponent. After that when you don't and when you're not in the best place of your game your opponent can punish you.
"We had a chance to make it 2-0 in the first half through Branislav Ivanovic, we don't and they make it 1-1. In the second half when we were winning 2-1 we had lots of chances to score and kill the game, we don't and they do. So, four or 5-1 could be 2-2 - we had lots of chances."
Crystal Palace manager Tony Pulis: "We were a little on the back foot in the first half but in the second we pushed up and to be in the game for 94 minutes is testament to the effort. The important thing is that the lads keep believing we have got a chance and keep playing with that commitment. The lads have bought in to what we're trying to do and I always try to galvanise the spirit in a football club."

New Equine Business Management Major coming soon!
Equine Studies
The Equine Studies program provides students with an understanding of the scope of the equine industry and its economic value to society. Students will gain an understanding of the biological principles involved in the production, maintenance of health, nutrition, and anatomy and physiology of horses. Through horsemanship, students should gain an insight into the horse's behavior and how man can use the horse humanely for his benefit. Students should learn to apply the knowledge gained to solve problems and to integrate solutions to attain successful horse production and management. Students may major in agriculture with a concentration in equine studies or minor in equine studies.
The Equine Studies minor is offered to students with majors outside of the field of Agriculture. This option, when combined with various majors such as Business Administration, Communication or Education, provides the student with the scientific and technical knowledge, as well as the hands-on practice of horsemanship. With a major in Agriculture and a concentration in Equine Studies, students are prepared for a career in the equine industry in areas such as management, marketing, reproduction, nutrition, sales and instruction. The curriculum is based on a core of Agriculture classes (Ag Technology, Crop & Animal Production, Ag Economics, Animal Nutrition) with further classes in the Equine area (Horsemanship, Anatomy & Conformation, Intro to Equine Studies, Practical Horse Feeding, Health & Diseases, Reproduction & Physiology). Students also can pursue a graduate degree in related scientific fields or apply to veterinary school.
Wilmington College has developed an outstanding equine facility for students involved in the Equine Studies program. The new 28 stall equine center also has a 72 x 152-foot indoor arena with an attached, heated viewing room. The equine center also has an outdoor arena and round pen. Horses are kept in 12' x 12' box stalls. Each boarder has a private tack locker for storing saddles, bridles, grooming supplies and tack boxes. Wash racks, turnout paddocks with safety fencing, and trails are available on the 40 acres just minutes away from campus. Future plans include the construction of an additional barn.
Boarding for student-owned horses is available at the Equine Center. The College also can assist in providing horses to those students that don't own a horse. Students are not required to board a horse as part of the Equine Studies program.
Also, students can participate in numerous clubs and activities while attending Wilmington College. In the equine area, there are the Equestrian Club and the Equestrian Team, which is affiliated with Intercollegiate Horse Show Association, as well as the Rodeo Club. The Equestrian Club has fundraising, educational and social events throughout the semester. To participate on the Equestrian Team, students must be members of the club. The team actively competes in IHSA Zone 6, Region 3 with such other institutions as Miami University, The University of Findlay and Bowling Green State University in both English and Western divisions.
The Equine Studies concentration prepares students for a position in the equine industry in areas such as management, reproduction, sales and marketing, nutrition, and horsemanship. With a base of scientific and technical knowledge, as well as practical hands on experiences, students are also qualified to continue with further education at the graduate or professional level. Students will complete courses that incorporate agriculture and equine studies.

Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has been recognized as the best Neurology & Neurosurgery hospital in the nation for 2014-2015 by U.S. News & World Report.
A brachial plexus injury is an injury to the brachial plexus — the network of nerves that sends signals from your spine to your shoulder, arm and hand.
A brachial plexus injury occurs when these nerves are stretched, compressed or, in the most serious cases, torn. This can happen when your shoulder is pressed down forcefully while your head is pushed up and away from that shoulder; a direct contact hit also can compress these nerves.
Brachial plexus injuries are common in contact sports such as football, but they can also result from auto or motorcycle accidents or falls. Babies sometimes sustain brachial plexus injuries during birth. Other conditions, such as inflammation or tumors, may affect the brachial plexus.
Minor injuries may get better on their own, but severe brachial plexus injuries require surgical repair.

WTO Rules Against Labeling Meat
In June, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that the U.S. country-of-origin labeling law (COOL) violates the WTO's Technical Barriers to Trade agreement. It is the third time the WTO has ruled against U.S. consumer-protection laws in 2012. Earlier this year, the WTO ruled against dolphin-safe tuna labels, and then against a ban on clove, candy, and cola-flavored cigarettes.
COOL, which dates from 2002, has been popular with consumers because of growing concern about food safety issues, like the "mad cow scare" about beef from cows infected with BSE (bovine spongiform encephalopathy). COOL was expanded in 2008 to require labeling of other products, like fruit and vegetables.
The United States will have until some time next year to change the law or face WTO sanctions. In an email to the Washington Post, Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen's Global Trade Watch, said "What agribusiness, Mexico, and Canada could not get in Congress or through U.S. courts, the WTO delivered: Either we're supposed to gut our consumer protection or pay millions for the right not to be fed mystery meat."

I got the Ochre color and it was just what I was looking for- a kind of orange-y tan. It's roomy without being too big. It's nicely lined with pockets on the inside and easy to get into. Overall I would recommend this convertible bag.

The library continues to serve as popular destination and community gathering place. More than 370,000 people attended programs for children, teens and adults this past year. In addition, we offered more than 13,000 technology classes during the year.
The Orange County Library System (OCLS) is an award-winning one. OCLS has been honored with numerous awards this past year and beyond. Recognized as a national and international model when it comes to innovation, the Orange County Library System sets the bar high and is the gold standard when it comes to public libraries.
In April 2012, a $1 million donation was announced, the largest single gift in the library's history. The generous gift will be used to create The Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center for Technology, Innovation & Creativity. The center will house labs for visual arts, film, digital media, graphic design, simulation and audio engineering on the second floor of the Orlando Public Library. The books from that space were relocated to the third and fourth floors of the Library. There will also be a fabrication lab that will allow patrons to make anything from 3D models to jewelry.

The Orange County Library System keeps detailed statistics to ensure we are providing customers with quality products and services in an efficient manner. With more than 4.3 million visitors through our doors this year, the library is constantly evolving to meet the needs of our loyal customers.
Fiscal Year 2013 was marked by major events and new additions. In an effort to provide our users with current and easy-to-access content, the library added several new vendors to the extensive list of e-reading services we offer. Axis 360 allowed the library to participate in a program that provides titles from Simon and Schuster as well as access to Penguin Random House titles to our users. Additionally, Freegal Movies & Television and hoopla allows users to download and stream movies and episodic television series. These new services helped increased digital downloads by 34% from last year's numbers.
In addition to offering new digital services, the library still offered up its distinctive and assorted programming for children, teens and adults. The library offered more than 21,000 programs throughout the year. Part of this included the celebration of Viva Florida 500. This statewide initiative resulted in more than 6,000 attendees at our programs throughout the year. Along with programming, the library offered over 1,000 technology classes a month. The Technology and Education Center added various classes from the Adobe Creative Suite during the fiscal year in an effort to provide more current content to our customers as well as prepare for next year's opening of the Dorothy Lumley Melrose Center for Technology, Innovation & Creativity.

OCLS is proud to serve the more than 1 million residents in the Orange County Library District.

iPhone Game Review: Independence
Reviewed by JadeDragon
Independence is a shoot 'em up fly-shooter game that plays in landscape mode using either the touch screen or gesture as control. The game has a decent amount of gameplay with 18 levels of fast pace fighting against both battleships and ground attacks. Like most fly shooter games, Independence has a simple background story: cities across the world are wrapped in flames by the Syrian fleet invasion, and it?s now up to the Independence Team to defeat the advancing battleships and save the cities.
Independence has 18 levels grouped into 3 episodes, and there is a boss fight at the end of each episode. Levels aren?t very long, and boss fights aren?t that tough either. In fact there are 3 difficulty levels, and a veteran shoot ?em up gamer can go straight to the most difficult setting and beat the game. Independence plays only in landscape mode with your ship set to auto fire. There isn?t any ship selection or wingman upgrade in the game. There are however firepower upgrades and you are given total of 4 bombs which fires an incredibly powerful beam when activated and will destroy anything in its path.
The enemy selection seems a little limited, but each enemy unit has its unique moving pattern and weapons. These enemies possess weapons that shoot straight canons, heat-seeking missiles, energy beams that can trace your ship for a while; and the bosses have even more types of weapons in their arsenal greater in both power and number. So even though you don?t see a lot of types of enemies you won?t exactly miss them much either. When you kill enemy units, they drop coins that you can collect. If you can collect them in a chain you get high score bonus. The game offers a local high score ranking.
Independence has two control methods: touch screen control and gesture control. The game utilizes a Gyro engine that allows you to tilt the iDevice to move your flyer, but the touch screen control is much more responsive and precise. And you will need that responsive control and the precision in those levels populated with space mines that leave you with very small spaces to navigate through. The Gyro control responses to your device movement slowly, and even in the less hectic levels this control scheme won?t cut it. The touch screen control is also relative, which means you can move the ship by dragging on any part of the screen, not just on top of the ship.
Graphics & Sound
Independence has stylish and sharp graphics. The game offers terrains that have different styles and unique looks: a destroyed industrial city, the ocean, the space, etc., but the graphics shine in the enemy unit design. Different enemy unit has its own look, some more robotic others more organic, and some larger units, like the bosses, have bodies that combine organic limps or wings with mecha parts. Weapons also have a good variety and nice designs.
Independence has both background music and sound FX, both with a limited selection. You can turn on and off the music and sound FX or adjust the volume in the Options menu.
For the shoot ?em up fans, Independence will offer a fun ride with a good number of levels and interesting enemy units with some intriguing weapons. The touch screen control works reasonably well, but the Gyro control is too slow to be effective. The graphics are sharp and eye-catching.
The game has a limited selection of music and sound and it doesn?t offer any iPod music option either. It offers only a local scoreboard.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: - 4.5 -
Terrains look good but not that breathtaking, but the enemy unit design is great.
Sound: - 2.5 -
Very limited selection.
Controls: - 4 -
The touch screen control works well but the gesture control doesn?t.
Gameplay: - 4 -
Not a long game but a fun ride nonetheless.
Playing Hints and Tips:
- To earn high score, try to collect the coins continuously to form chains.
- In even the most difficult level, you will hardly need the bomb for regular levels. So save all of them for the boss fights.
