A member himself, he became a volunteer at the club and served as director for 40 years, turning over the director's job to his son Jody. For the past several years he has served as special projects coordinator, and he said that in retirement he wants to return to spending quality time with the kids at the club without having to be concerned with administrative duties.
The Board of Directors for the Sylacauga Boys Club has decided to name the club's building in Brooks' honor, and is planning a retirement reception and dedication ceremony for May 19.
Brooks has said that about two-thirds of the kids he now sees at the club are the children and grandchildren of others who have participated in club activities.
He has said he never wanted a child to come through the Boys Club and say that no one had the time for them when they needed help, and his goal has been to be there for them.
Brooks was a schoolteacher and coach for several years before taking on the work at the club full time, and many still call him Coach Brooks.
He's earned many honors and accolades for his service to the club, but having the club named for him probably ranks as the biggest honor. Others include the 2009 "Man and Youth" award from the Boys and Girls Clubs of America, the Distinguished Citizen award from the Greater Alabama Council Boy Scouts of America, the Nanellen Lang Citizen of the Year award from the Sylacauga Chamber of Commerce in 2006, the Governor's Youth Leadership award, inductee of the Alabama Softball Hall of Fame and JSU Baseball's 100 Greatest Athletes.
In addition, Brooks has been recognized as an outstanding youth leader by the Central Alabama Boys and Girls Club, received a resolution from the city for service to youth, is a member of the "First Tee" children's program Board of Directors, carried the Olympic torch in the 1996 Atlanta games, was awarded 1974 Jaycees Man of the Year and played minor league baseball with the Pittsburg Pirates for two years.
Jody Brooks has followed in his father's footsteps and learned lessons about helping shape the character of the children who spend time at the club.
Both take pride in the successes they have seen, and hope their work to help keep young people pointed in a positive direction has helped make a difference.
The commitment and longevity Brooks has shown are extraordinary, and even now he says he can't imagine ever not being part of the club.
Brooks and son Jody have made a difference in Sylacauga, investing their time in the lives of young people there. The elder Brooks is leaving a legacy of service there that serve as an inspiring example for others, and the younger is building on his father's work. That's a remarkable investment in the lives of Sylacauga's youth.
We appreciate the work both Brooks have done for kids at the club, and hope they are able to continue their work for a long time to come.

I was just given the thumbs up on booking my first Disney cruise. I love to plan my WDW vacations myself and can spend hours pouring over all the details. I really enjoy it. That being said, should I use a TA to book the cruise or can a reasonably smart person book it themselves and not miss anything? Should I give up the control for peace of mind? TIA
One of the things you may miss out on if you book yourself, is that some TAs will give an OBC and/or send a gift to your stateroom when you sail. I know my TA does.
That is what I am trying to figure out-is it worth the 250 onboard credit/gift in room to give up control? Hmm I would love to hear thoughts from those who have booked themselves and it went well or that it didnt go well and why.
I'm not sure what control you feel like you're giving up? I am fairly new to cruising (this only my second), so I may be missing something. I know you have to go through the TA to make payments, but other than that, I've told my TA what I want and she has gotten it for me, including the stateroom I want, noted that we want to sit alone as a family, which server we prefer, and that we are celebrating our anniversary. I booked our first one by myself, but used a TA this year to get the onboard credit. I plan to use her again, as I have not had any trouble at all and can always use an extra $250.
Not like WDW... By booking with a TA the only thing you loose control of is payments or changing a room or category - these must be done by the TA. But you still have control of the online check in process, excursions and even calling DCL for questions. It is a no brainier. I would do the homework myself, and select a category and room, then call or email the TA to book.
Maybe it is not a control issue per se-just not wanting to go thru another person when it comes time to booking or finalizing plans. I have always just done my travel plans directly. I will probably use a TA, bc I have not cruised on DCL before. My husband and I cruised last year and it was through a company he works for. The TA who booked it nearly cost us the trip bc at the last minute she cancelled our flights. If we had not been on top of things checking our flights ourselves, we would have arrived at the airport with no flights and then missed the ship. I do like to do a lot of the planning myself-that is some of the fun for me. I am fairly certain of what I want and when I want to go, I know the prices, i can see them on the screen as well as the TA, just wondering if I press send or let the TA and get the OBC.
Costco and gotten a gift card back a couple of weeks after the cruise. the gift cards go up in value based on the level stateroom you choose. We had a 5c in November and got back $330. I dont think the TA's match that amount, I could be wrong. Just giving you another option, if you have a Costco Membership.
You sound a lot like me. I've always planned our vacations and often my friends' as well. I feel like I've planned my vacation this time too, as I've directed her in everything she's done. However, do what is most comfortable to you. I wouldn't want to convince you of anything and have you regret it later. I did book my own flights, my hotel before the cruise, and my transportation to port. I only used her for the cruise portion. Good luck, and seriously, do what makes you feel most comfortable.
This is intriguing to me also. I didn't know about this when I booked before and may try this option next.
We booked a WDW vacation ourselves and finalized all of our dining and such, then transferred the reservation over to a TA because we liked the gifts they were offering she really did nothing but still got commission and we got a couple extras for ourselves a win, win!! I plan on doing the same with our upcoming cruise we have it booked and when we are ready we will transfer it over to a TA for the onboard credits! Currently looking into who offers what, onboard credit, kids gifts, and stateroom gifts. It's nice to get a little extra for yourself and know you're helping to keep a person in business
My plan exactly! Love the planning almost as much as the going but I want to support someone too! Win win!
If you're going to transfer a booking to a TA, remember you only have 30 days to do it. (new DCL policy.) We usually book our own air and hotels, unless we're going somewhere we're not familiar with, like New Zealand. Then it's more convenient to have a TA who's been there/done that to take care of us. After a 16-hr over-night flight with very little sleep, I was so relieved to have a limo driver greet us at the airport i nearly cried. If you're trying to book a popular cruise on the first day, it's sooo nice to have a TA take care of it instead of sitting "on hold" forever, hoping there's space available when it's finally your turn. If my TA canceled our flights I'd be lookin for a new TA! Ours has fought our battles for us -- has pulled more than one rabbit out of her hat. She was able to book a "sold out" Christmas cruise for 20+ people with very little notice. Another cruise there was a booking problem (NCL's incompetence) and she escalated it to a vice president to get satisfaction, including a free dinner at their upscale restaurant. There's no way we could have done it without her.
I booked brought Dreams Unlimited (forum owners here), got the OBC and still have control over any reservations I want to make. The only thing I gave up is if I have to actually cancel or switch to a different cruise. The only reason I used a TA was because of the OBC
These are all helpful ideas! Thank you!! Since the trip was a free be from my dhs work we had no control-did not even pick the TA. I have a good recommendation from a friend who just rebooked her 2nd cruise with the same TA. She has been very responsive, I will use her. Thank you for all your help.

Have You Heard About... Dial H
… the incredible power of some rotary phones? Instead of 9-1-1, Dial H-E-R-O to become a superhero! The power has a few quirks, however. The dialer becomes a random hero — anyone from Boy Chimney to Captain Lachrymose to Baroness Resin — all of his or her powers and weaknesses, down to the costume, but only for a limited time. Also, someone else is after the dial, someone who might not want to use the powers for good.
China Mieville, Mateus Santolouco, and the other artists do an incredible job on this remake of a DC comic from the 1960s (and the 1980s and 2000s). The basic concept is the same, but they bring their own dark, gritty, oddly funny feel. Even the main characters are, frankly, not very nice people, although they try their best to become the heroes that their world needs.
This compilation of Dial H collects the first six issues of the 2012 series, plus its issue 0. In addition to the main story arc, it has a nice follow-up where the characters discuss their responsibilities and which heroes they are not willing to be. (Would you want to be "saved" by Kid Torture?) There is also a short story explaining where the powers come from.
Not just a fun read, this one will make you think.

Have You Heard About... Just Listen
… the rise and fall of popular high school student Annabel Greene? Sarah Dessen's extremely popular novel, Just Listen, follows Annabel, who is a high school student, a local model, and a pariah at school because of an incident that happened at a party earlier that summer. When she meets Owen, a fellow outcast with a love of experimental music and a surprisingly honest personality, she is forced to confront the situations that she's been avoiding for the last several months - her apathy towards modeling, her sister's eating disorder, and the truth about what actually happened last summer.
In my quest to become more familiar with YA fiction, I turned to my coworkers who suggested that I read Sarah Dessen, specifically this novel. Contemporary YA can be hit-or-miss for me, but this book surprised me. I really, really enjoyed it. In fact, I read it over the course of two days and at times had to physically pull myself away from the book because, oh, you know…I had to eat. Or sleep. Or whatever.
There are a ton of appeal factors that make Just Listen a great suggestion for a wide range of readers: writing that does not feel dated, a significant subplot revolving around eating disorders, an honest portrayal of friendship during the high school years, romance, a positive ending, and a universal message about conflict and honesty. In fact, this book has the makings of a classic, one that teen readers will continue to check out years in the future. If you liked Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, I definitely suggest giving this refreshingly honest book a try.

Have You Heard About... Humans of New York
… the people who live, work and play in one of the biggest cities on earth? Brandon Stanton took pictures from his popular blog, Humans of New York, to make a book of the same name. At its heart, it is just that — photographs of people somewhere in New York — but it is also much more.
These are people from all walks of life — old and young, male and female (and some where it's hard to tell), every race and ethnicity you can imagine, long-time residents and new immigrants and tourists, crowds and small groups and individuals and close-up shots that only show part of the person. Many of the pictures are simply captioned by location, "Seen in Crown Heights, Brooklyn," or "Seen in the Meatpacking District." Others have simple comments by the photographer or his subject, "Two ages, same beauty," and "I'm a time traveler." A few have longer explanations or discussions with the people being photographed. One picture is accompanied by the caption, "Some days I worry that I won't find anyone to photograph. Then I turn the corner and see a giant tree man."
This is a fascinating book. Some parts are wonderfully funny or moving, and others are very sad or distressing. Above all, though, it is a book about people and everything that makes us human.

Have You Heard About... Dark Places
… the Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas? This horrific event forms the basis for Gillian Flynn's aptly named second novel, Dark Places.
In the nineteen eighties, Libby Day survived what was eventually dubbed "The Satan Sacrifice of Kinnakee, Kansas," when her older brother was convicted for murdering his mother and two of his sisters. Over twenty years later, Libby is broke, mean-spirited, and struggling with the scars left over from the murder. She still firmly believes that her brother is guilty, but there are many followers of the case who believe otherwise. In order to make some extra money, Libby agrees to talk to some of her old acquaintances and try to determine exactly what happened that awful night.
I've noticed in all three of her books, Gillian Flynn focuses a lot on how a single event can be interpreted in multiple ways, and how these misunderstandings can have devastating consequences. I loved how as I learned more about what actually happened that night, and as I learned more about the characters, light bulbs suddenly started going off in my head and everything started to make sense.
I have now read each of Gillian Flynn's novels twice, and I am still in awe of her writing and her ability to craft some of the darkest, nastiest stories I've ever read. I don't know if I've ever encountered an author who was able to provoke such a strong, visceral reaction in me. And as bleak as these novels are, I can't stop reading them. They're awe-inspiring in a slightly frightening way. Ultimately, this is a very satisfying and realistic story, despite the gruesome overtones, and I will once again mention how incredibly anxious I am for her to release a new novel. This book is just spectacular!

Have You Heard About... Over the Wall
… the demons who will eat your name and your memory? They live in the city, Over the Wall, in Peter Wartman's graphic novel. Years ago, demons and humans worked together to build the beautiful city. What happened to change that depends on which side you ask. However, the end result is the demons trapped in the city, with the humans living outside. Once a year, the boys who came of age that year must go into the city for a day. If they return by nightfall, they are safe. If a boy does not return, a demon has eaten his name, and he will quickly fade from everyone's memory.
However, this year, a girl goes in search of her missing brother. She can't remember his name. She can't even remember what he looks like, but she is determined to find him and bring him home. Inside the city, she must confront (and befriend) demons as she tries to rescue her brother and get them both out safely. If she fails, they will both die, fading away as their parents forget that they even existed. If she succeeds, it may be the first step in healing the rift between demons and humans.

Have You Heard About... The Good Nurse
… the real-life serial killer who spent over 15 years of his life killing patients at local hospitals? The Good Nurse by Charles Graeber follows the story of Charlie Cullen, who worked as a nurse at multiple hospitals across Pennsylvania and New Jersey. He had a good work ethic, was well-liked amongst his colleagues, and did his job well, if you overlook the fact that he has been implicated in the deaths of over 300 patients. Charlie liked to poison IV bags in the supply closets and watch as the IVs were given to random patients across the hospital. Administrators at many of these hospitals suspected him, but none ever went so far as to prosecute him. Charlie was simply relieved of his duties and eventually found work elsewhere.
The second half of the book details the investigation into a mysterious patient death which was eventually linked back to Charlie. But even more frightening than the murders were the lengths that the hospitals went to in order to avoid a potentially disastrous scandal. The detectives enlisted the help of a former coworker and friend of Charlie's to convict him, and her taped conversations are included at the end of the book.
The story itself is frightening, but the author's journalistic writing kept it believable without straying into melodrama. Charlie is not portrayed as a victim, nor is he portrayed as a soulless monster. He is a complicated criminal with motivations that go far beyond having a rough childhood or becoming too attached to his mother.
But the author doesn't try to give an explanation for Charlie's behavior. He presents the facts and lets the reader draw their own conclusions. And in this case, very little embellishment is needed. The book concludes with Charlie and his friend eating at a restaurant as his friend tries to provoke him into confessing. The dialogue, which is taken word-for-word from the official transcript, is one of the most chilling parts of the story.
The murders are not particularly bloody but this still makes for an extremely disturbing read. Definitely suggested for fans of true crime, and its lack of gore might entice other readers as well, but it's a book that will likely keep you awake at night.

Have You Heard About... Carniepunk
… the darker side of carnivals? If you've ever wondered whether they actually have a lighter side, Carniepunk is the anthology for you. It has fourteen great stories by authors who specialize in dark fantasy and horror, including Rachel Caine, Seanan McGuire, and Kevin Hearne. They look into the shadows behind the midway lights to find what is lurking and what is looking back.
As you read through this book, it's hard to decide which is worse — the demons, vampires, and other supernatural monsters, or the psychopaths and serial killers who are completely human. While some of these stories are relatively light and many have humorous elements, others are not for the faint of heart (or stomach). Running away to join the carnival may doom you forever or save your soul. Pay your money and take your chances. (Or play it safe and check out this book for free!)

Have You Heard About... The Martian
… the debut novel that's part science fiction, part survival thriller, and 100% amazing? In Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, astronaut Mark Watney is stranded on Mars after his crew mistakenly believes him to be dead. When he comes to, he is faced with the nearly insurmountable task of trying to survive in an alien and hostile environment with limited supplies and technological capabilities…for a period of up to four years.
It's an intriguing concept, but it doesn't even come close to explaining why this book has been so successful. The actual science behind the story is rock solid and insanely detailed, but it never feels overwhelming. The suspense about Mark's survival situation is unrelenting until the very last pages. The humor is, well, hilarious. (I literally laughed out loud while reading this book, at home, by myself.) It's like reading a Michael Crichton novel with a sarcastic streak. And without giving away any spoilers, the ending is pitch-perfect.
When I finished this book, I had an urge to a) turn right to the front of the book and start reading again, b) run around and start smacking people upside the head until they agreed to read it, or c) throw the book in the air in a fit of uncontrollable joy and excitement. This may end up being my favorite book of 2014, and we're not even halfway through the year! I haven't been this thrilled about a book in a very, very long time.

El Paso, Texas (KTSM) — U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Field Operation officers at the El Paso port of entry seized 923 pounds of marijuana on Memorial day in a commercial truck that was trying to enter the U.S. from Mexico. The estimated street value of the seized contraband is $738,400.
"This was a deeply concealed drug load," said Hector Mancha, CBP El Paso Port Director. "CBP officers used multiple tools to identify and locate this sizable drug shipment."
The seizure was made at approximately 5:30 p.m. at the Bridge of the Americas international crossing cargo compound when a tractor pulling an empty trailer arrived from Mexico. CBP officers scanned the truck with an x-ray system and noted a number of irregularities in the appearance of the walls of the trailers.
CBP officers continued their exam and drilled into the support beams producing a substance which tested positive for marijuana. A CBP drug sniffing dog also alerted to the trailer walls. CBP officers removed the wooden interior walls of the trailer and then pulled 1,064 packages of marijuana from the trailer beams.
No arrests were made and the investigation continues.

In software engineering, aspects are concerns that cut across multiple modules. They can lead to the common problems of concern tangling and scattering: concern tangling is where software concerns are not represented independently of each other; concern scattering is where a software concern is represented in multiple remote places in a software artifact. Although aspect-oriented programming is relatively well understood, aspect-oriented modeling (i.e., the representation of aspects during requirements engineering, architecture, design) is still rather immature.

You also can't sue them. What you buy with money is RP, you aren't buying anything physical. The RP is delivered instantly and is only valid within the game. It would be like buying a Fast Pass at Cedar point and then trying to sue them because they kicked you out of the park. Your purchase offers you no stake of claim for anything, it is essentially a donation that grants you special services within the game itself.

Don't make this about the ToS. I really doubt all those bans were caused by having WiFi issues. And if they were, they should've contacted their provider or find a way to fix it themselves, not just play while hoping it not to fail.

Also what I'm gathering from all these "intelligent" senior member is that if say, I took $100 from them and then force them to leave something, and I keep all their money, they would be perfectly okay with that, correct?

Love Letters: The Results Show, part 2
These updates are sort of fascinating, right? Today is the big grilled cheese update. I'm giddy, too.
Many of you have asked about Cape girl. She hasn't emailed her update yet. She says she's going to -- but she hasn't. I'm not sure if she's just not ready, or maybe it's too painful. As soon as she sends, I'll post.
Our first update is from the recent letter writer who said she met a "smokin' hottie." Here's her letter.
And here's the update.
Thanks for your advice. I spoke to Mr. Smokin' Hottie, and was nonchalant but honest about finding him attractive. He was very kind, but honest about not being romantically attracted to me. We have since made plans to hang out, just as friends...but there's no potential there. Time to find the next gentleman that floats my boat, so to speak.
Again, thanks for your kind words :)
-- Dreaming About a Smokin' Hottie
Shoot. Well, I'm glad she tried. I hope someone floats her boat soon.
Next is an update from the recent letter writer who was not so smitten about her very smitten boyfriend.
And her response:
Thanks for running my letter! The comments are hilarious and I am enjoying reading them. (Are some of those readers always that mean? Haha) I appreciate the advice and I have an update for you.
I did go to the dinner and it went very well. His parents are very sweet/fun and I think I like him more now that I've met his fam.
It seems the consensus was that it's not a huge deal, so I did my best to make it just that and had a great time. I also got some good insight as many of you said and if anything, I think it made me more comfortable with the whole situation. So thank you and thanks to everyone who offered their advice/sympathy!
-- Now fairly smitten kitten
Good, right? Here's an update from the woman who found an old sex tape on her boyfriend's computer. This was the letter. Here's the update:
Everything with my guy is great. I listened to you and your readers and "got over it." I sent Stan the link to the LL, went home and gave him a hug, and we laughed together about the whole thing. I still think about the videos sometimes, but I try to think of them in a positive way -- like my own personal viewing. I don't always succeed, but for the most part I've turned it into something that I can enjoy. And while this is only in my head, because those videos were deleted, I'm hoping to make some of my own videos soon :)
Oh, and the scrapbooks have been invited into the house (I will smile and fake it until I make it).
And now, drum roll please … Mr. Grilled Cheese. Really, when I picked the euphemism, it was just before lunch and I was in the mood for dairy. For those of you who don't remember, here's the letter.
And his response:
I am not with the same woman anymore. I'm currently single, and have been dating, but haven't found anything long term yet. I have experienced the wonders of grilled cheese since my breakup, and I must say, I will never go back to a relationship without it. I came to the realization that my ex was very selfish, not just about grilled cheese, but in general, and as hard as it was to break up, I am looking forward to finding someone who doesn't leave me wanting. Thanks.
-- Grilled Cheese Guy
Wow. So there you go. Grilled cheese conquers all.
I hope you all realize that while Love Letters is often fun, games, and song lyrics, the letter writers do pay attention to our advice. Pat yourselves on the back and behind. You do a good job. If you have something to say about these updates -- perhaps a pep talk for Dreamin' or thoughts about Mr. Grilled Cheese, share here.
Monday is a holiday and many of you will be away from your computers. Instead of posting one letter, I'll be putting up a collection of notes I've received over the past few months that were too short – or too confusing – to run. It should be an entertaining read for those of you stuck working. We'll get back to normal on Tuesday.

I had to laugh to myself when I read where the barbershop was located! I lived on the east side of Cleveland in 1960 for a year before joining the Army, and lived in Kent 1964-1977, where I went to college after getting discharged in 1964. For those of you from outside northern Ohio, Parma, which is on the west side of Cleveland, was the "butt" (pun intended) of numerous jokes back in the day. There was a Friday night horror movie on one of the Cleveland TV stations where the commentators, Hoolihan and "Big Chuck" were constantly cracking jokes about Kielbasa and Parma. They even had a skit about the "Kielbasa Kid". The residents of Parma were constantly derided as not being the brightest residents in the greater Cleveland metropolitan area. While these accusations were undoubtedly unfounded (we must be politically correct now), reading the story about a barber from Parma getting shot in the butt by a customer who drops his gun brought all these forgotten memories flooding back to the forefront of my mind!
At any rate, I tend to believe the patron probably pulled his gun out to show it off when an accidental discharge resulted. I'm not buying that it just "fell out of the holster and went off all by itself"!!!!
Especially not in Parma!!!

In the last four years, Chef Brian Malarkey has created seven wildly successful restaurants across the U.S. including Searsucker (San Diego, Del Mar, Austin), Herringbone (La Jolla and Los Angeles), and two installments of his fast-casual concepts, Green Acre (San Diego). He recently announced plans for two more restaurants, including a Searsucker in Santa Monica at the end of 2014 and a brand new concept in San Diego's Little Italy neighborhood in early 2015.
Each restaurant opened to rave reviews, including Time Magazine naming Searsucker the country's #2 hottest restaurant. The accolades continue to roll, including having three restaurants on Open Table's list of the "100 Top Hot Spots in the Nation" and Searsucker on Gayot's "Hot 40 List of Restaurants." Malarkey was also honored with an invitation to cook the James Beard Award Dinner for the world's most acclaimed chefs.
Malarkey is a winning mentor on ABC's "The Taste," a past Top Chef Finalist and is regularly seen hosting and guest starring in series on Food Network, Travel Channel, Bravo, TLC, OWN and more. He is the author of "Come Early, Stay Late."
Growing up on a ranch in Oregon, and spending summers enjoying the fresh seafood on the coast, Malarkey discovered his love for food and cooking at a young age, eventually leading him to enroll in Le Cordon Bleu in Portland. Prior to opening his first restaurant Malarkey held positions at several marquee restaurants in Los Angeles including Chef Michel Richard's Citrus. Soon after he was hired by The Oceanaire Seafood Room and opened their San Diego location as Executive Chef/Partner, where he garnered over 60 industry awards in five years.

Airline passengers and crew foil hijackers in China
Chinese passengers and air crew subdued six people who attempted to hijack a flight from western China. Were the hijackers Uighur separatists?
AP Photo/Eugene Hoshiko/file
Chinese airline passengers helped foil an attempt to hijack a plane in the western region of Xinjiang on Friday, state media said, the latest incident of instability in a part of China where the government says it is facing violent separatists.
Passengers and air crew subdued six people who attempted to hijack a flight 10 minutes after it took off from the remote desert city of Hotan, a heavily ethnic Uighur area that has been hit by recent bouts of violence, Xinhua news agency said.
The Tianjin Airlines plane was flying to the regional capital, Urumqi, when the attackers were overpowered, Xinhua said, citing police.
The aircraft returned to Hotan where six people were taken into custody, it said.
RECOMMENDED: How well do you know China? Take the quiz
The news agency did not identify the hijackers or give any information about their background.
Xinjiang is home to the mainly Muslim Uighur people who speak a Turkic language. Many of them chafe at Chinese government controls on their culture and religion.
Two guards on board the plane were seriously injured in the struggle with the hijackers, while the senior flight attendant and seven passengers were slightly injured, Xinhua added.
Pictures posted on China's Twitter-like microblogging site Sina Weibo showed grimacing passengers holding down at least one of the suspects and what looked like blood on one of the seats.

Will Apple (AAPL) Stock Be Helped If iWatch Has NFC?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Apple's (AAPL - Get Report) upcoming wearable will use near-field communication, or NFC, for mobile payments, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Shares of Apple were gaining 0.3% to $99.22.
The so-called iWatch can use NFC to enable mobile payments, letting users pay at stores using the credit cards stored in iTunes with a tap, according to the Journal. Apple is also expected to use the wireless technology in the iPhone 6 for mobile payments and easy Bluetooth pairing with the wearable and other accessories.
Must Read: 50 Stocks Hedge Funds Love
STOCKS TO BUY: TheStreet Quant Ratings has identified a handful of stocks that can potentially TRIPLE in the next 12 months. Learn more. Apple's smartwatch will reportedly come in two sizes and feature a curved OLED display. In addition to NFC, the device will include sensors that will help users track health and fitness data. While Apple may debut its new wearable on Sept. 9, the device may not be available for purchase until early 2015, the Journal notes. TheStreet Ratings team rates APPLE INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A+. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate APPLE INC (AAPL) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, notable return on equity, expanding profit margins and solid stock price performance. Although the company may harbor some minor weaknesses, we feel they are unlikely to have a significant impact on results." Highlights from the analysis by TheStreet Ratings Team goes as follows:- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 9.3%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 6.0%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Although AAPL's debt-to-equity ratio of 0.26 is very low, it is currently higher than that of the industry average. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.18, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. When compared to other companies in the Computers & Peripherals industry and the overall market, APPLE INC's return on equity exceeds that of the industry average and significantly exceeds that of the S&P 500.
- 44.56% is the gross profit margin for APPLE INC which we consider to be strong. It has increased from the same quarter the previous year. Along with this, the net profit margin of 20.69% is above that of the industry average.
- Investors have apparently begun to recognize positive factors similar to those we have mentioned in this report, including earnings growth. This has helped drive up the company's shares by a sharp 45.80% over the past year, a rise that has exceeded that of the S&P 500 Index. Regarding the stock's future course, although almost any stock can fall in a broad market decline, AAPL should continue to move higher despite the fact that it has already enjoyed a very nice gain in the past year.

Black diamonds you can see in the night
No luck to those that are green with envy
I'm simply bred to win see
from Mike G – Oldie 2 [Extended Verse] Lyrics on Genius
Mike G's diamonds really stand out because he's stunting
Also, some wordplay with color. Note the use of the cliche "Green with envy" then, the next line using bred which sounds like bread (money-slang).

20 years ago The Rocketeer was released in theaters. It's hard to believe it's been two decades now. The movie is based on the comic character created by Dave Stevens and first appeared in 1982.
The character was set in the late 1930s and was an homage to the serial films of the time. When a stunt pilot, Cliff Secord, finds an experimental (and top-secret) jetpack, he's thrown into a world of high-flying adventure. Both the government and evil villains want the jetpack and Secord is thrown right in the middle.
The movie stars Billy Campbell as Cliff Secord/the Rocketeer, Jennifer Connelly as Jenny Blake (or Bettie Page as in the comic), Alan Arkin as Peevy, Timothy Dalton as Neville Sinclair, Terry O'Quinn (from LOST) as Howard Hughes and was directed by Joe Johnston (who recently directed a little movie called Captain America: The First Avenger).
The Rocketeer is one of those movies you occasionally come across when flipping through channels on cable. As much as I wanted to see the movie once again, I refused to watch it and vowed I wouldn't until it was released on Blu-ray. Now that the day has finally come, it's a mixed bag.
The movie does look good but it doesn't look great. It looks better than past releases but I'm still wowed by high definition releases and part of the test is checking out the quality up close. Considering the movie was made 20 years ago and had it's share of technical problems and goofs back then, Disney did a fine job restoring the movie. The sound is great and turning up the volume gives you a feeling you're part of the movie as you hear the rocket blast or the bullets fly.
The movie itself still holds up today. They managed to capture the 1930s feel and the story is full of enough adventure to keep you glued. Too many times when you revisit an older release you loved in the beginning, there's often that feeling of disappointment as the movie's quality doesn't live up to the current standards. The Rocketeer is a movie you can watch and enjoy today. Some of the effects used in the movie might make you cringe a little if you're overly critical but there's still a good time be had watching it.
Unfortunately, there isn't a lot of special features. What you get is...the original theatrical trailer. That's it. It is interesting to see the difference in the quality between the trailer and the restored movie. There isn't any commentary, making of featurettes or anything. But this release is focused on the actual movie. That should be enough.
There aren't many 'comic book movies' that are truly watchable. As comic fans, we sometimes are critical but forgiving just to be able to have a movie based on a comic. There are some differences in the Rocketeer's story but it was a great attempt and a great movie. Will we get another release at some point with more extra content? I'm not sure if there's any that exist but the fact is, it's all about the movie. I've waited a long time to watch The Rocketeer again and while this isn't a perfect release, it's a mighty fine one and well deserving and completely welcome to be part of my home library collection. It's a shame a sequel was never made.
The Rocketeer is in stores today.

Well, we got another 5 star review for Katarina the Dragonslayer and the Foebreaker's Curse!
"What can I say about this book but WOW! I was immensely impressed with this fantastic story and I do not read a lot of fantasy. This book reminded me of LOTR or Narnia. If you are a lover of the fantasy genre then you will become an instant fan of Sam Medina." - The Kindle Book Review

Every time I threaten reporting someone for afk'ing, intentional feeding, verbal harassment, etc I usually get the response "lol, go cry more. You really think if you report I will get banned? Why don't you grow up?" I report them anyways but I get the feeling that they do it every game and get away with it so that they think they can just be jerks and get away with it.
Its the internet bro....... If these things annoy you then you might not make it as a gamer. Are you that surprised?
I find it pretty ironic that they're telling you "to grow up" when you threaten to report them for calling you an idiot, etc.
Possibly the most frustrating part about reporting someone is never finding out whether or not they are punished. Unfortunately, that's the way it is. We just have to have faith that Riot will eventually deal out justice, and knock those jerks down a peg, ban-hammer style.
You're actually threatening to report people? If you're not 12 you need to stop doing that. If you are 12, you've gotta stop soon, all your friends probably make fun of you for going "awwww, I'm telling!" all the time. Ignore, report, and be done with it.
Does anyone know if you get banned if enough reports per game come in? Should you try to get the other team to help you report him?
I'm behind 9 proxies and I have 20 passwords. Riot will never get me.

How seemingly innocuous technologies are unsettling the balance of power by putting it in the hands of the masses - and what a world without "big" will mean for all of us.In The End of Big, social media pioneer, political and business strategist, and Harvard Kennedy School faculty member Nicco Mele offers a fascinating, sometimes frightening look at how our ability to stay connected - constantly, instantly, and globally - is dramatically changing our world.Governments are being upended by individuals relying only on social media. Major political parties are seeing their power eroded by grassroots forces through online fund-raising. Universities are scrambling to preserve their student populations in the face of less expensive, more accessible online courses. Print and broadcast news outlets are struggling to compete with citizen journalists and bloggers. Our traditional institutions are being disrupted in revolutionary ways, some for the better. But, as Nicco Mele argues, the benefits of new technology come with unintended consequences. In The End of Big, Mele examines:- How fringe political forces enter the mainstream and gain traction using everyday technology - with the enormous potential to undermine central power
- What happens when investigative journalism is replaced by ad hoc bloggers, mobile video, and instantaneous tweets…and whether they challenge or simply enable power
- Why Web-based micro-businesses are outcompeting major corporations, and what innovations will alter the way we work, own things, and pay for goods and services
- The collapse of traditional party politics, and the rise of a new kind of democracy, one which could produce dynamic and effective leaders…or demagogues
- How citizen initiatives can replace local and state government functions, such as safety regulations, tax collection, and garbage pickup, and do so cheaper, faster, and better

These earrings are beautiful! They are well made. Colors are bright . I would love them in different colors. They are also very comfortable.
Comfortable, made very well, beautiful pair of clip on earrings.
I have a friend who does not have pierced ears and so this is always a challenge to find her earrings. These are beautiful and clip on as well. She loved them, they were a Christmas gift.
I had my eye on the Sweet Romance Burnished Coppper Glass Bead Earrings, since it's hard to find anything cute in clip earrings. I own other Sweet Romance jewelry, and I wasn't disappointed! These fun swing earrings feature a large rainbow-hued central cabochon flanked by smaller Swarovski crystals in blues and purples. It took me a little bit of practice to get these perfectly positioned, as they are larger than my usual clip earrings, and they tend to slide right off if you don't have them positioned just right. Despite their size and weight, they're very comfortable. These are perfect for gifting, as they come in a gold organza pouch in a black jewelry box. There's also a matching bracelet available. And best of all, they're made in the USA!
Thank you for the earrings, they were so beautiful I bought the bracelet and then went on a search for a ring to go with it I found one that is burnished copper but obviously not as beautiful as the original pieces.
Their beautifil. The colors are gorgeous. I would of gave them 5 stars but the middle glass (puple) was a little bit cloudy. However, you would have to look closley to notice. But my mother n law loved them! That's all that mattered. Oak Hills, CA

Terry Pierce - World Cup 2010 never caught fire
Published: 12 Jul 2010 - 14:58:04
So after more than four weeks of football the World Cup ended last night and, like the majority of the tournament, the final was a bit of a let-down.
Underneath the thuggery of the Dutch and the gamesmanship and constant whining of the Spanish there was a half-decent game in there waiting to get out but, alas, we had to make do with Total Tactics as opposed to Total Football.
Theres no doubting the best side won, but it was their fourth 1-0 win in a row and they've won the greatest prize in football without being at their best due to the no-shows from half of footballs mega-stars.
- Netherlands 0-1 Spain - Match Report / Will Tidey on Spain / Forlan wins Golden ball award
In a World Cup that will be more remembered for the ball used than the football played, there were so many disappointing performances its hard to keep track, as shown by Thomas Meuller winning the Golden Boot and Diego Forlan the Golden Ball.
Lio Messi did nothing of note for Argentina as they flew through their easy group before crashing out to the young and hungry Germans. Wayne Rooney did more harm than good for England. Cristiano Ronaldo turned up against North Korea, but then so could I.
Franck Ribery, Kaka, the half-fit Didier Drogba. The list goes on.
Even the victorious Fernando Torres endured a torrid tournament, summed up perfectly in his cameo of bad touches and a hamstring strain last night.
Thanks to their new stars, Uruguay and Germany provided cracking sub-plots, and the Germans will be a real force over the next four years as their side develops.
And the quarter-finals were some of the most dramatic ever seen.
But a World Cup lacking in star quality and without England, Italy, France and Portugal in the quarters just didnt catch the imagination or provide Spain with any real test until the very latter parts of the tournament.
Spain didn't play their usual expansive style and will be the first to admit that at times they looked unconvincing but they didn't need to play exceptionally well to win and, without a shadow of a doubt, they deserved to win the tournament.
Its just a shame they didn't have a bit more fun along the way.
Role on the pre-season friendlies and August 7, when the real football starts.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Anesiva, Inc. (Nasdaq: ANSV) today announced that a pivotal Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Adlea(TM), its long-acting, non-opioid analgesic drug candidate, in patients following total knee replacement surgery, is underway.
In September 2007, Anesiva initiated a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 2 trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single 5 or 15 mg dose of Adlea or placebo administered into the surgical site in patients undergoing total knee replacement surgery. Having completed enrollment of the initially planned 80 patients, Anesiva has converted this trial into a Phase 3 trial by expanding the planned enrollment by approximately 134 patients for a total sample size of 214, increasing the number of trial sites, and focusing enrollment on the 15 mg and placebo groups.
"Total knee replacement is a commonly performed orthopedic surgery that can significantly enhance patients' quality of life," said Keith Candiotti, M.D., Associate Professor of Clinical Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine; Director of Clinical Research, Chief, Division of Perioperative Medicine, University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, and investigator in the Phase 3 study. "The effective management of post-surgical pain is critical since patients must begin walking and moving the knee soon after the procedure in order to begin recovery and avoid complications. Adlea may offer additive pain relief and possibly reduce the use of other pain medications such as opioids, whose systemic side effects can interfere with the recovery process."
The primary efficacy endpoint of the Phase 3 trial is a time-weighted

In my fermentation bucket, a thick brown sludge has built up around the edges of the bucket. It was not there 4 hours ago. The brew itself looks perfectly golden, bubbly and normal, but the sludge is worrying. Is this common? Thanks edit: Upon further inspection it appears to be the residue from the initial bubbles... can anyone shed some light on the subject?
This is known as krausen. Perfectly normal and happens on every single batch that i brew. This will drop down when primary fermentation comes to an end.
is there anything to be said for saying another mass?
+1 to peterfuse. I'm assuming this is your first batch? Kraussen is a part of every brew. Some can look beautiful like a creamy frothy head on a pint, others, and most, will look quite gross. It will fall.
Thankyou. I thought it was probably fine, but I like to be sure :P
99% of people love beer. The remaining 1% do not have tastebuds.
This is my 2nd batch, but I can't remember there being any kraussen on my first, thanks again
The fermentation activity causes the volume of the wort to expand, so you will often see a brown crusty ring an inch or more above the level of your wort. That's because the krausen rose, deposited that ring, then sank back down. It's actually called "high krausen" at that point. Kinda like the ring around the bathtub.
