Led by Anuna's 18, Starters Lead Men's Basketball to Four Point Win at Lynn Wrapping Up Florida Trip
November 26, 2011
BOCA RATON, F.L. - Getting solid performances by four starters, Pfeiffer University grabbed a 69-65 win at Lynn University on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 4-2 on the season behind KC Anuna's team-high 18 points. Lynn stands at 2-3 after the four-point defeat.
Back-to-back three-pointers by Elijah Matthews and Josh Humphrey broke a 14-14 tie starting at the 8:15 mark of the first half. The Fighting Knights' Josh Garcia converted a pair of fastbreak layup's with under four minutes to play to cut the Falcons lead to two, before Garcia helped Lynn cut the deficit to just one at halftime with two more quick strikes as Pfeiffer led 29-28 at the break.
Down 48-47 at the midway point of the second, Reggie Hollinger and Danny Smith provided the offense in a 10-0 run as the Falcons grabbed the lead for good. Smith had six of the 10 while Hollinger contributed the other four until Garcia stopped the run with 6:01 remaining in the contest. The clincher came with 19 ticks left as Smith drained a pair of free throws from the charity stripe to put the Falcons up by four.
Anuna went 6-of-8 from the floor knocking down a triple and five free throws to lead Pfeiffer. Humphrey followed with 17 on 7-of-10 shooting with three triples while Smith and Hollinger each contributed 12 and 11. Garcia paced Lynn with 22 in the loss.
Pfeiffer will now enjoy a week off before heading north to Lincoln in Pennsylvania next Saturday night.

Machiavelli's Women
If one wants to read the classic works of political philosophy, he or she is limited to books written by male authors. Unfortunately, it often seems like these male political philosophers were only concerned with the male citizen. However, Arlene Saxonhouse, a professor of Political Science and Women's Studies at the University of Michigan, argues that these classic authors-from Plato to Machiavelli-acknowledged the existence of a private sphere that included women but set limits upon and defined the possibilities of the public world. In her Athenaeum lecture Saxonhouse will discuss how the treatment of women in Machiavelli has been an integral part of the work's understanding. How do the women who appear in Machiavelli's writings make him less "Machiavellian" but more radical?
In praise of her book Women in the History of Political Thought: Ancient Greece to Machiavelli (1985), the American Political Science Review averred that "This important book raises questions that are central to the study of women and the understanding of political life ...Saxonhouse's book makes a significant contribution to both the history of political thought and contemporary feminist theory."
Saxonhouse is the also author of Fear of Diversity: The Birth of Political Science in Ancient Greek Thought (1992), Athenian Democracy: Modern Mythmakers and Ancient Theorists (1996). Additionally, she is the co-author of Hobbes' Three Discourses: A Modern, Critical Edition of Newly Identified Works by the Young Thomas Hobbes (1995). She currently serves on the editorial boards of the Series in Women and Politics, University of Nebraska Press, the American Political Science Review, and the Review of Politics.
Saxonhouse earned her A.B. from Oberlin College, where she was a member of the Phi Beta Kappa honor society. She went on to earn her Ph.D. in political science from Yale University in 1972. She has twice been a fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences and was a recipient of Michigan's Distinguished Faculty Achievement Award. A fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Saxonhouse served as vice-president of the American Political Science Association and as the president of the Midwest Political Science Association.
Arlene Saxonhouse comes to Claremont McKenna College and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum as Phi Beta Kappa's Visiting Scholar.
America's Strategic Necessities vs. Dogs, Soldiers, and Sailors: Keep Off the Grass
Constitutional governments, whether monarchic or republican, have three related obligations: to provide justice, to promote internal peace, and to defend the nation against its enemies. That is, such governments have the duty to preserve the community of the nation. The manner in which it shall be done is the principal issue of politics in a democratic republic.
That which is to be defended are the people, the territory upon which they dwell, the constitution under which they rule themselves, and their way of life. Without defense, neither justice nor internal peace can be ensured.
The Constitution of the United States puts such matters first in its Preamble:
We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.
While government, under the U.S. Constitution, has the obligation to organize and apply the resources of the nation to promote its preservation, it rests with the general citizenry to supply the resources, both human and material, necessary to carry out the policies that government formulates.
Because the general citizenry is both the object of defense, as well as the supplier of the resources for its conduct, that citizenry must come to understand, as though it were instinctual, what constitutes the strategic necessities of the nation. Rood argues that they must understand that, as well as they understand their rights as a free people.
Professor Rood received his B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees from University of California (Berkeley) and studied at Stanford University, Oxford University, and University of London. In addition to Claremont McKenna College, he taught at Claremont Graduate University, University of Southern California, Southwest Missouri State University, and U.S. Army Command and General Staff College. And he has written a number of scholarly articles, research reports, and books, including Kingdoms of the Blind (Carolina Academic Press, 1980).
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to co-sponsor a public lecture by Dr. Harold W. Rood, who retired in June 2001 as the W. M. Keck Foundation Chair of International Strategic Studies at Claremont McKenna College.
Year 2001: Global Issues
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 30, 2001 4:00 p.m.
President Ronald Reagan called Jeane Kirkpatrick "a giant among the diplomats of the world." A scholar, political scientist, and advocate for America's foreign policy, Kirkpatrick is one of the modern era's experts on geopolitical issues. Appointed in 1981, she was the first woman to serve as U.S. Permanent Representative to the United Nations. Kirkpatrick also served as a member of President Reagan's Cabinet and National Security Council. These experiences have given her an exceptional understanding of the dynamics of global politics.
Because of her notable and consistent service to the United States, Kirkpatrick was awarded the Medal of Freedom, the nation's highest civilian honor. She also received the French Prize Politique for political courage, two U.S. Distinguished Public Service Medals, and presidential medals from the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Israel.
Kirkpatrick is the Leavey Professor of Government at Georgetown University and is a regular contributor to various newspapers, magazines, and journals. Additionally, she is a senior fellow and Director of Foreign and Defense Polity Studies at the American Enterprise Institute and serves as codirector of Empower America. Kirkpatrick is the author of several books, monographs, and articles dealing with American political issues and foreign policy. Her latest book, Good Intentions: Lost on the Road to the New World Order (2001), is forthcoming.
Kirkpatrick's visit to Claremont is sponsored by the Res Publica Society, an organization of friends and supporters of Claremont McKenna College. Kirkpatrick will address students, faculty, staff and members of the community in Mary Pickford Auditorium at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The lecture is open and without charge. Seating is limited and on a first-come basis.
The Struggle for American Jewry
Samuel Freedman is an award-winning writer and professor. A former reporter for the New York Times, he is the author of three acclaimed books: Small Victories: The Real World of a Teacher, Her Students and Their High School (1990); Upon This Rock: The Miracles of a Black Church (1993); and The Inheritance: How Three Families and America Moved from Roosevelt to Reagan and Beyond (1996). His work has received widespread recognition including as a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award and as recipient of the Helen Bernstein Award for Excellence in Journalism.
Freedman recently spent several years visiting Jewish communities throughout the United States and Israel. His observations and reflections serve as the basis of his most recent book, Jew vs. Jew: The Struggle for the Soul of American Jewry (2000). The work offers a gripping portrait of American Jewry as it confronts new challenges to its identity. He locates the fissures and tension points in contemporary Judaism, over issues such as conversion standards, the role of women, and the peace process in Israel, and how these forces are shaping its future.
Freedman teaches at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism and was named the nation's outstanding journalism educator in 1997 by the Society of Professional Journalists. He is a frequent contributor to newspapers and magazines. Professor Freedman comes to the Athenaeum as the second speaker in the series, "Judaism: Learning from the Past, Learning for the Future."
Dramatic Readings of the Literary and of the Palm!
You're worried about that nasty calculus test? It's nothing. CMC's Under the Lights acting troupe will really give you something to be scared about. Join other brave souls at the Athenaeum on Halloween for an evening of dramatic readings. Building on the eventful night last year that left one Athenaeum Fellow unconscious, Under the Lights promises us that they have even bigger plans for this year ....
A frightfully good dinner specially prepared by Chef David Skinner and Pastry Chef Srirat Vichaita will serve to plump up the evening's guests. (Last year, attendees delighted themselves in chicken fingers as never seen before.) Later, following the dramatic reading, those still alive-be they Stag or Athena, ghoul or demon-will descend upon Frazee Game Room for readings of a different sort: psychic readings. So how will that calc test turn out? What does that cute senior think of you? Bring your questions-and your palms-for psychic insight.
The Halloween parry is sponsored by the Athenaeum and Student Activity Director Jim Nauls, and both parties note that they must unfortunately disclaim liability for any tragic, untimely disappearances ....
Costumes, while not required, are encouraged.
The Oregon Experience in the Care of the Dying: What's New
In 1994 voters in Oregon passed Measure 16. However, this seemingly innocuous referendum generated high levels of controversy; Measure 16, also known as the "Death with Dignity Act," legalized physician-assisted euthanasia throughout the state. In her Athenaeum lecture, Dr. Susan Tolle will speak about her experiences in the care of the dying in Oregon following the measure's passage.
Tolle is currently the director of the Center for Ethics in Health Care at Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland. In 1995, immediately after Measure 16 was passed, the center convened the Task Force to Improve the Care of Terminally-Ill Oregonians. Members of the task force include representatives from state health care professional organizations, state agencies involved with health care, and health systems in the Portland metropolitan area. The Task Force, remaining neutral on the issue of physician assisted suicide, has as its overall goal to promote excellent care of the dying. Two main tasks of the organization involve implementing professional standards related to Measure 16 and then distributing literature that offers guidance to health care providers about the issue of assisted suicide. As Tolle states, "it's extremely important that patients get a fair hearing. Physicians shouldn't panic if patients just bring up the question."
Tolle graduated from Lewis and Clark College with a B.S. degree. She earned her doctorate in medicine from the University of Oregon Health Sciences Center and her certification in internal medicine from the University of California-San Diego. Additionally, she received a fellowship from the University of Chicago for her study of clinical medical ethics.
Susan Tolle's Athenaeum visit is cosponsored by the Claremont Coalition Concerned with End-of-Life Issues. Her lecture is part of the Coalition's conference entitled "Healing at the End of Life: Exploring Values and Choices" and the Athenaeum series "Health Care: New Realities."
Music of Bach, Chopin, Messiaen, Rzewski, and Crumb
KATHY SAWADA, piano
Sawada always has something to say, and she says it both intelligently and musically. A breath of fresh air.
-Bill Vestal, director, Sundays at Four series, L.A. County Museum of Art.
Simone Belsky Competition finalist (1999) Kathy Sawada has established herself as an adventurous pianist of "superb . . . emotional and passionate playing" (Carl Schurtz, composer). She is a much-anticipated regular at the Sundays at Four series at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and various other Southern California venues, such as the Westwood Friends of Music series, and Second Sunday Concerts in Pasadena.
Eclectic and provocative, in her Athenaeum recital, Kathy Sawada will mix contemporary and classic with an exciting program that includes Rzewski's The Days Fly By, two pieces from Messiaen's Vingt Regards sur L'Enfant Jesus, and selections by Crumb, Bach, and Chopin. Focusing on the context of sound, Sawada often presents pieces that bring out unfamiliar resonances and connections. These "aural feasts" are a hallmark of her performances. A skilled master teacher, Kathy Sawada will also place each piece in a meaningful context.
Kathy Sawada received her Bachelor of Arts from Oberlin College where she studied with Leon Bates. At Yale University, she earned her Master of Divinity and studied piano with Elizabeth Parisot. She received her Master of Music degree from the Manhattan School of Music, where she was a piano student of Dalmo Carta and a composition student of Mils Vigelan. In Los Angeles Ms. Sawada's source of inspiration is the highly regarded champion of modern pianism, Delores Stevens.
From Odessa to Tel Aviv: Hebrew Culture and the Re-invention of the Jewish Past
Adam Rubin is an assistant professor of Jewish history at Hebrew Union College in Los Angeles where he specializes in the history of Jewish cult and politics in Eastern Europe and pre-State Palestine during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. He received his doctorate from UCLA and has spent several years living and studying in Israel.
Professor Rubin's talk will trace the development of Hebrew culture from its origins in fin-de-siecle Odessa among a small circle of writers and intellectuals to its institutional consolidation in pre-State Palestine. At the heart of this culture was an attempt to radically reshape the classical texts of the Jewish tradition into a secular, national literary canon. How did this process unfold? What was the relationship between Zionist advocates of modern Hebrew culture and Jewish life in the Diaspora?
Rubin's forthcoming book, The Politics of Tradition: Nationalism, Nostalgia, and the Re-invention of the Jewish Past examines the creation of Hebrew national culture in Europe and Palestine during the inter-war period. Professor Rubin comes to the Athenaeum as the third speaker in the series, "Judaism: Learning from the Past, Learning for the Future.
True Tales From Another Mexico: The Lynch Mob, the Popsicle Kings, Chalino, and the Bronx
After the Vicente Fox's election as President ended the PRI's seventy-one years of power in Mexico, newspapers exclaimed "Ya Cambio"-Change is at Hand. However, in his book True Tales from Another Mexico: The Lynch Mob, the Popsicle Kings, Chalino, and the Bronx (2001), journalist Sam Quinones argues that Mexico's change began long before that July, 2000 election.
As he writes in his introduction, "the press, other governments, and tourists are most aware of the official, elite, corrupt Mexico; the Mexico that won't allow a poor man a chance; the Mexico behind the sunglasses. I've even been told by people, including Mexicans, that this is Mexican culture. But I know that's not true. There is another side of Mexico." Change, displacement, and the search for new identity permeate this other side of Mexico; the citizens interviewed by Quinones include teenage drag queens, gang members, disenfranchised farm workers, and narcotic runners. "The other side of Mexico is not always pretty, but it is self-reliant and adventurous," Quinones writes.
Journalist Sam Quinones grew up in Claremont, graduating from Claremont High School in 1977. He went on to graduate from UC Berkeley with degrees in economics and American history. Following graduation, Quinones worked as a reporter for the Orange County Register, covering the city of Costa Mesa. He then moved to The Record in Stockton, California, where he covered crime for four years. In 1992, he went to the News Tribune in Tacoma, Washington to cover Seattle and King County government.
In 1994, he moved to Mexico after being offered a job by Mexico Insight Magazine. Since becoming a freelance writer Quinones' stories from Mexico have appeared in the Los Angeles Times, Baltimore Sun, Houston Chronicle, San Francisco Examiner, Newsday, San Diego Union-Tribune, Riverside Press-Enterprise, LA Weekly, Ms. Magazine, Mexico Business Magazine and Latin Trade Magazine, among others. In 1998, he was awarded the Alicia Patterson Fellowship, one of the most prestigious fellowships in U.S. print journalism.
The Department of Modern Languages at CMC and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum are pleased to jointly sponsor Sam Quinones' appearance in Claremont.
September 11, Human Rights, and the Rule of Law
The September 11 tragedy has shaken America to the core. Our attention has been riveted to the United States' effort to develop an effective international and domestic response to these illegal human rights violations. But in developing that response, how should the United States take concerns about human rights and the rule of law into account?
A prominent human rights and democracy expert, Professor Harold Hongju Koh will lead us in a discussion of America's proper response. He served as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor under the Clinton Administration and is currently Gerard C. and Bernice Latrobe Smith Professor of International Law at Yale Law School.
The recipient of degrees from Harvard, Oxford, and Harvard Law School, Koh served as law clerk to justice Harry Blackman of the U.S. Supreme Court. He practiced law at the Washington D.C. law firm of Covington and Burling and at the Office of Legal Counsel at the U.S. Department of Justice. Koh has written or coauthored more than 70 articles and several books, including Deliberative Democracy and Human Rights (1999), Transnational Legal Problems (1990), and The National Security Constitution: Sharing Power after the Iran-Contra Affair (1990), which won the American Political Science Association's award for the best book on the American Presidency.
Professor Koh is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He is an Overseer of Harvard and serves on the editorial board of the American Journal of International Law. He has received six honorary degrees and numerous awards for his human rights work, which includes representation of Haitian and Cuban refugees before the United States Supreme Court.
Koh was named among America's 45 leading public sector lawyers under the age of 45 by American Lawyer magazine and among the 100 most influential Asian-Americans of the 1990s by A Magazine. Koh's lecture is sponsored by The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies.

When Britney came to the ASPCA through the Humane Law Enforcement department, she was in pain and suffering from multiple untreated conditions.
Fortunately, the veterinary staff at the ASPCA's Bergh Memorial Animal Hospital was able to nurse Britney back to health, and eventually she became available for adoption; we could finally find a home for this sweet dog who had suffered so much.
We knew it would be a challenge.
Statistically speaking, animals who are black, large or senior, as well as those who take medication or can't live with other animals, usually spend more time waiting for homes. Britney was all of these things, and to make matters worse, she didn't engage much with adopters who passed her habitat, preferring to rest quietly.
Still, we knew that the right person would come for Britney, and to speed things along, we spread the word about this special canine. After seeing Britney's picture and reading about her, Kevin Bechard tells us, "I wanted to snatch her right up."
A few days later Bechard was going above and beyond to help Britney settle in to her new home in suburban Connecticut.
"The first couple nights I actually slept on the floor with her because she can't do stairs, and she would just reach out with her paw and make sure it was against me," he recalls. "Only then she would allow herself to go to sleep. If I moved away a little bit, her eyes would open."
The love and comfort of a forever home has revived Britney, who has blossomed into a trusting and happy pup: Bechard reports that at his house Britney loves romping outdoors and goes on multiple nature walks a day.
In return, Bechard has gained a new best friend who, he says, never required house-training or manners instruction, thanks to her age. "I wish more people would consider older dogs," Bechard says. "I was open to anything, but I was so pleasantly surprised."
Hi Kevin, I love this story. You are a super human. Thanks for giving Britney a forever home.
what a sweetheart!! You both lucked out.
Thank you for giving Britney a life filled with love and tendernes Kevin!
Thank you Kevin! dogs absolutely know when they are rescued and loved! It happens all of the time, there are no bad dogs only bad owners
Kevin, your story makes me cry happy tears...thank you for having such a good heart! I recommend a song for you & Britney - one of my favorite singers, Emmylou Harris, has a foundation called Bonapart's Retreat dedicated to adopting older big dogs. She has a song on her last album about her dog Bella "Big Black Dog" - you should take a listen, I think you'll get a kick out of it. We love big dogs. After our precious Callie Rose, our 90 pound shepherd mix rescue, died at age 13 from cancer, we were heartbroken as you can imagine...we went to our local shelter & found our awesome siberian husky mix, not too old at age 4, but a big girl & of course she is now the love of our life. She actually was dumped at the shelter the day Callie Rose died & had been there 10 days...we believe Callie knew we were so devastated & missing her & that she sent Tabby (I know, our dog w/a cat name) to us to take care of us. Anyway, many, many blessings to you, Britney & all of your loved ones!
Hi, good for you & Britney--you are a hero. We adopted a 13 year old Chow from the Humane Society in August. His owner had no choice but to give him up. All but one of our many dogs have come from shelters. Bear-it is so wonderfully special & the current love of my life. I am so glad we found him. We support an organization in Washington called "Old Dog Haven". They rescue only older dogs from the entire western portion of Washington. Yeah for all rescuers!!!
I'm so happy to hear about Britney's adoption. I love black, large older dogs and have adopted two. They are the best! Both Cody and Olivia are the sweetest, most loving dogs imaginable. I wish more people would realize that these dogs deserve loving homes, especially those who have never known kindness or love. They are not only forgiving but wise and deeply empathetic. Yay for older/old dogs. I'll take one any day!
Keven, God Bless You. I love stories of older dogs being saved. They are more vulnerable to not finding a home. May you have many years together with good health for Britney.
LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! The world needs more people like this and everyone commenting!
Kevin, Britney's picture brought tears to my eyes;she looks so much like my Coco girl. She was 15 when we lost her a year ago. When I adopt again it will be an older dog, they deserve to be loved and taken care of in their later years and they have so much love to offer. Thank you for being such a kind hearted person. We need more people like you in this world.

Two local businesses recently faced demands for money from leading music royalty organizations.
The national companies say songwriters they represent deserve to be paid for their tunes when other musicians perform them.
Jackson's Cafeteria in Gastonia has received calls from Broadcast Music, Inc. about live performances held twice a month in a back dining room.
Comptroller Nancy Martin said she agreed to pay a quarterly fee, which she said is based on the number of performances per month.
BMI distributes the fee to members of its organization, commonly songwriters.
But Howren Music and Sound is taking a different approach.
President Dennis Howren said the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, known as ASCAP, recently sent the business a form letter asking for an annual fee of $268.
The organization asked for the money because of live performances and music played on the telephone while callers were on hold, he said.
The shop used to hold jam sessions in the store on Garrison Boulevard, but those have stopped over the past couple of months, Howren said.
He said the sessions, where musicians typically showed up to play popular tunes, became too big and loud.
Despite receiving the letter, he has no plans to send any money to ASCAP.
"They don't have a clue what we do in our store," he said.
'Picking on little people'
Howren said he appreciates the system of protecting artists by paying royalties, but he believes the Gastonia business is not doing anything that violates music industry regulations.
"What they're doing is picking on little people," he said.
Howren said he has not received a letter or call from BMI seeking money.
That organization serves as a "go between" for songwriters and businesses, collecting royalties for more than 7.5 million musical works.
ASCAP sells licenses that allow businesses to entertain customers with the millions of songs in its musical catalog.
The company did not respond to messages this week.
Hickory Tavern in Gastonia pays ASCAP and BMI fees that comply with hosting live music performances, said Thom Perez, marketing consultant with the restaurant chain.
"We are very diligent with our ASCAP and our BMI subscriptions," he said. "We make sure that we are in full compliance and pay all our dues."
Elvis tunes at dinner
Nancy Martin at Jackson's Cafeteria declined to say how much the business is paying BMI.
But it's worth it.
She says despite being upset about the situation at first, she believes customers enjoy hearing the local band play every other Thursday evening.
Five musicians perform for about two hours, taking requests and accepting tips. Martin said it's been good for business. The performers sing and play standards made famous by the likes Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash.
Martin said BMI confronted her with an ultimatum: She could either comply or face a hefty fine.
"If anyone is singing anyone else's music, any other songs written by someone else, you have to have a license for them to come in and sing," she said.
She doesn't believe Jackson's should be in the same business category as bars and clubs that charge cover fees for live entertainment, however.
"I guess they're getting where they are really cracking down and targeting anybody," she said.
When she asked a BMI caller how the company found out about the cafeteria performances, the response was surprising.
"They just said, 'Well, we have monitors,'" she said.
She figures a musician came into the restaurant and reported the live performances.
Leah Luddine, director of public relations with BMI in New York City, refused to say how much Jackson's pays.
In a statement, she said BMI works to ensure businesses that play music publicly have a license, but she declined to specify how BMI found out about the live performances at Jackson's.

These seasl are just as beautiful as everything else in this collection. I didnt realize how big they would actually be, but that was my lack of imagination. They take up a little bit more on the back of the envelope than I had envisioned. But despite my size misjudgement, they are absolutely beautiful.

RUTLAND — The 18th annual St. Jude Trail Ride at the Dill Farm will be held on Saturday, with the ride beginning at noon.
Michael and Isabel Dill, along with their daughter Paige, and many family members, friends and neighbors organize the event year. The ride is held on the Dill's farm located at 34843 Beech Grove Road just outside of Rutland.
The ride travels for 10 miles through scenic Rutland Township. Halfway through the ride organizers provide an intermission and refreshments. There is no charge to participate in the 10-mile ride though donations to St. Jude are welcome.
All the proceeds from the event go to benefit St. Jude Research Hospital.
Last year, $23,129.76 was raised for St. Jude with 353 riders registered.
This was an increase of more than 100 from 2011, when 222 riders took part, with 286 people either riding or making donations.
To date, the annual trail ride has collected $168,871.01 for St. Jude.
St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in finding cures and saving children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases. St. Jude is the first and only pediatric cancer center to be designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center by the National Cancer Institute. Founded by late entertainer Danny Thomas and based in Memphis, Tenn, St. Jude freely shares its discoveries with scientific and medical communities around the world. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay. St. Jude is financially supported by ALSAC, its fundraising organization.
After the trail ride, organizers offer a free hog roast and bean dinner as well as serve hot dogs. Hogs for the event were purchased at the Meigs County Fair and donated by Farmers Bank and Home National Bank.
Also following the ride, winners of prize drawings are announced. Those who wish to buy prize tickets should do so before the ride. Prizes up for grabs include a saddle, a saddle stands and much more. There is also a 50/50 drawing.
When the Dills decided to start the trail ride 18 years ago, that first ride raised a little over $2,000 and has continued to steadily grow without any official help from any formal group or sponsor.
The Dill's neighbors also open up their property to allow the trail ride to criss-cross the hillsides of Rutland Township. The event takes a lot of planning and hard work but Isabel says it's worth it, adding that her husband always says if it helps just one kid that's all that matters.
Participants can sign in beginning at 9 a.m. on Saturday, with camping available for the weekend.
New this year will be a DJ on Friday evening sponsored by the Ohio Horse Council Meigs Chapter.
Once again, ribbons and prizes will be presented to the top three money collectors for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital which has a mission to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. St. Jude has treated children from all 50 states and from around the world. St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research center where families never pay for treatment not covered by insurance. No child is ever denied treatment because of the family's inability to pay.
Donations are accepted any one that would like to donate money, door prizes, drinks, or snacks. For more information contact Michael or Isabel Dill at (740) 742-2849, or my mail at 34843 Twp.Rd.447 Rutland,Ohio 45775, or email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

I feel like their used to be only 8 preseason games, I could be wrong but that sounds right to me, either way 10 is too much.
I wouldn't even know where to begin complaining, our whole team was garbage tonight except Kobe in the 3rd. I don't like Mike Brown, I don't get him playing the end of the end of the bench so much, guys that will clearly not make the team, don't get Kobe playing the entire 1st and 3rd quarters if you're going to go the route of playing the garbage time guys, if that's your plan don't waste Kobe's legs that much in a game you're throwing away on purpose. Aside from that I don't know if the players we got are just that bad or if Brown is that bad, or if it's some of both. These guys cannot make baskets, it's the name of the game and they can't do it, it's sad. And Brown, if he manages to screw this up with the starting lineup he has been given when the real games start, he needs to be fired mid-season, early season, whenever, Jim Buss is gonna have to take a hit to his pride on that one. But, this is preseason, I'll wait to see how we look with Howard in the starting lineup and Hill back with the bench and Nelson, Aguilar, and some other trash gone.
There have always been 8 games, and this year is also 8 games. not 10

Alert: The following services will be unavailable on Saturday, January 5, 2013 from 12 a.m. (midnight) to 6 a.m. CST due to system maintenance.
Purchase cancellation
Many consumers mistakenly believe they have three days to cancel a motor vehicle purchase contract. They do not. The 3-day "cooling off" period only applies to sales the dealer makes away from the dealershipfor example, at a mall or fair grounds. If you sign a purchase contract at the dealership, it is a binding contract. The dealer may charge you a penalty if you cancel the deal. By law, the penalty cannot be more than 5% of the purchase price of the vehicle.
If you order a new vehicle to be delivered at a later date and the vehicle is not delivered within 15 days of the anticipated delivery date recorded on the purchase contract, you can cancel the contract without penalty.
If you are unhappy with your purchase, talk with your dealer. Some dealers will make a goodwill adjustment, or even cancel your contract without a penalty in order to satisfy a good customer.
Dealer and Agent Section can help
If you have serious concerns about your vehicle purchase or lease that you cannot resolve with the dealer, contact Wisconsin Department of Transportation's (WisDOT) Dealer & Agent Section at (608) 266-1425 or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

1/24/14 Latest on Justin Bieber
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Friday, January 24, 2014
JUSTIN BIEBER was arrested after drag racing in Miami Beach early yesterday morning . . . and was charged with DUI, resisting arrest, and driving on an expired license. Here's the latest . . . After cooling his heels in jail for several hours, Justin made a brief appearance before a judge, who set a "standard" bail of $2,500. Obviously, he didn't have any problem coming up with that. He probably had that much ON him, in cash. In video from the bail hearing, Justin tried to look "tough," but didn't say anything to the judge. He left all the talking to his attorney, Roy Black. While leaving jail, Justin sat on top of a vehicle . . . and waved to his fans like a beauty queen or something. Clearly, this kid doesn't seem to regret the example he's setting for his fans, a lot of whom are his age and YOUNGER.
It sure sounds like JUSTIN BIEBER'S parents are enabling his behavior. Justin reportedly told the police that he didn't know what prescription medicine he'd taken . . . he just takes whatever his mom gives him. Meanwhile, his dad was supposedly at the club with him just before his arrest, and was in one of the SUVs that helped block traffic so he could drag race.
Also, RadarOnline is reporting that Justin went down to South Beach after getting bailed out of the clink . . . to get DRINKS with his "cool dad". Unbelievable.
Tori Spelling's husband Dean McDermott checked into rehab. Dean released a statement saying, "I am truly sorry for the mistakes I have made and for the pain I've caused my family. I take full responsibility for my actions and have voluntarily checked myself into a treatment center to address some health and personal issues." McDermott is accused of cheating on Spelling with a woman in Canada back in December.

In a new interview, SELENA GOMEZ seems to be talking about JUSTIN BIEBER when she says, quote, "I haven't found someone yet who could understand my lifestyle, support it, love me through it, and not be threatened by it. It's hard. I do think I might scare some guys, because I'm like, 'I want to change the world! I have dreams! What do you want to do?'"
The "New York Post" reports that New York has more than $12 BILLION in unclaimed money sitting around, and some of it belongs to celebrities like TINA FEY, DIDDY, ANGELINA JOLIE and MARIAH CAREY. These un-cashed checks are for a wide range of things, including: Security deposits, insurance policies, stocks and mutual funds. New York has been holding unclaimed checks for Tina Fey since 2005 . . . Diddy has funds dating back to at least 1991 . . . Mariah Carey has unclaimed money from 2002 . . . and Angelina Jolie has had checks sitting around since 2004. Others on the list include: Beyoncé, Steven Spielberg, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Denis Leary, Woody Allen, Glenn Close, Yoko Ono, Hilary Clinton, disgraced politician Anthony Wiener and even freakin' Dina Lohan.
Kim Kardashian reportedly has a "booty tailor" on call at all times to help her wardrobe accomodate her famous bottom/backside. Kim and her fiance', Kanye West, spend about $5,000 a day to make sure that her favorite tailor can have any new clothes ready to wear within hours of buying them. Kim's small waist, big butt and short legs make it difficult to find pants that fit and she even has her own Kardashian Kollection clothes altered.
Looks like Bruce Jenner has gone through with that surgery on his Adam's Apple. The reality star was caught leaving The Beverly Hills Surgical Center on Sunday with a bandage over his throat. He allegedly had his Adam's Apple shaved -- which some believe is his first step toward getting a sex-change operation. Bruce says he just doesn't like the way his throat looks.

KATY PERRY tells "GQ" she lost her virginity at the age of 16 . . . listening to JEFF BUCKLEY'S album "Grace" in the front seat of a Volvo sedan. She also says all her beauty is God-given . . . quote, "I've never had any plastic surgery. Not a nose, not a chin, not a cheek, not a [breast]. So my messages of self-empowerment are truly coming from an au naturel product."
Earlier this month, some amusing ANNE HATHAWAY photos hit the Internet, which supposedly showed her nearly drowning in the ocean . . . before being saved by a surfer, and having her toes sucked by her husband. Well, apparently that's BOGUS . . . at least the near-drowning part. Anne says, quote, "I'm fine . . . I really do appreciate everybody's concern but that was a picture that had a false story attached to it. The real story is not as interesting."
JUSTIN BIEBER spent his Martin Luther King Jr. Day in Miami Beach, at a STRIP CLUB called King of Diamonds. And according to sources at the place, Justin was equipped with $75,000 . . . IN ONES. He blew through it all, naturally.
1/21/14 LiLo's New Plan

Tuesday, January 21, 2014
The "National Enquirer" says LINDSAY LOHAN wants to hook back up with her old girlfriend SAMANTHA RONSON and get MARRIED . . . but only for publicity. Supposedly, she wants to do it as a TV special.
Even if you're DETERMINED to be a celebrity, it's smart to have a Plan B. Most celebrities explored other career paths before making it big. Here's what a few of them MIGHT have become if they didn't . . .
Jennifer Lawrence wanted to be a doctor.
Ashton Kutcher studied biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa.
Tom Cruise was going to be a Catholic priest. He even went to seminary school. But one of his classmates says that the two of them got kicked out for stealing liquor from the priests.
Queen Latifah was studying to be a broadcast journalist before she made it big as a rapper.
Gerard Butler studied to be a lawyer at Glasgow University.
Matthew McConaughey was also thinking about a career in law.
Danny DeVito was a HAIR STYLIST.
Angelina Jolie got certified as a funeral director . . . but never actually worked in the field.
George Clooney worked in tobacco fields as a kid . . . and also tried out for the Cincinnati Reds in 1977. Obviously, he didn't make the team.
Mariah Carey studied to be a makeup artist.
Justin Bieber marked his territory in Colorado by peeing his initials in the snow, all while people looked on. According to TMZ, Justin and his crew were driving when his motorcade pulled to the side of a private road in a residential area. Justin hopped out, surrounded by bodyguards, and peed in the snow. Residents went over to inspect the scene and saw Justin had peed his initials "JB" in the snow .
When cops in LA got a warrant to search Justin Bieber's mansion last week, they reportedly found a house littered with drugs and drug paraphernalia. However, since the warrant was issued only to search for video evidence of his egg-throwing attack on a neighbor's house, they couldn't seize any of the drugs. Sources told TMZ that as cops walked through his house, they found two large jars of marijuana and empty bottles of codeine. They also saw three bongs and hookah pipes. There was also evidence that as cops arrived, Bieb's friends flushed drugs down the toilet.
1/20/14 Bieber Addicted to "Sizzurp"
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Monday, January 20, 2014
A lot of celebrities have talents other than those that made them famous. Here are some examples:
Harrison Ford is an experienced pilot. He can fly helicopters and planes. John Travolta, Morgan Freeman, Clint Eastwood and Angelina Jolie are also licensed pilots.
Jolie also collects daggers and practices knife-throwing.
Bruce Willis is a harmonica player. He even released two blues-rock albums in the late '80s.
Colin Farrell was a country line dancer for CMT, and he even once taught a class.
Mike Tyson has been racing pigeons since he was 9.
Taylor Lautner is also into karate. In fact, he earned several junior world championships as a kid.
For the second year in a row, ELLEN DEGENERES has topped a Harris Interactive poll on America's Favorite TV Personalities. Also for the second year in a row, "NCIS" star MARK HARMON followed at #2.
Kim Kardashian told Ellen Degeneres that she and Kanye would be getting married this summer, but wasn't sure where they would tie the knot. Well, the rumors appear to be true. Kim and Kanye spent the weekend with wedding planners in France. They spent almost an hour during a private tour of the Palace of Versailles
Though police didn't find Justin Bieber in possession of any drugs during their house raid, sources say the singer isn't so squeaky clean. According to TMZ, the Bieb has developed an addiction to sizzurp and his handlers are urging him to go to rehab. The gossip blog says Justin has been regularly drinking "sizzurp" or "lean," which includes codeine and promethazine. He's also said to be abusing prescription pills, including Xanax, as well as alcohol and pot.

The Giro Atmos has been a popular choice for road, 'cross and XC riders and it is easy to see why. Giro's wind tunnel ventilation system is a combination of 26 active vents with exaust channels in the helmet that push cool fresh air onto the riders head and pushing out the warm air that is already inside the helmet. Keeping the head cooler and more comfortable is just the start. For safety, Giro uses an In-Mold carbon reinforced roll cage along with the In-Mold-EPS liner with polycarbonate shell. In the event of a crash, this technology allows the Giro Atmos to maintain structural integrity and offer maximum protection.
Giro uses Roc Loc 5, their best fit system, to fine tune the fit of the helmet with micro adjuster as well as the ability to offer fore/aft tilt adjustment. The interior padding is plush and uses X-Static fabric to combat bacteria and odor.

Great helmet here. I had an older mountain helmet that wasn't very comfortable for road riding. I Bought this helmet and it was a little finicky to adjust the straps around the ears into a comfortable position but once there the helmet all but disappears. It ventilates very well and stays in place on the ride, also looks good, I have the black/white version. Roc Loc 5 is easy to adjust with one hand while on the go.

Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 29" Tire:
I paired these up with a set of Stan's Crest wheels. I really like them. I was told they were really difficult to mount up on the Crest wheels but I didn't find it all that bad. I really like the tread pattern and you and run them either direction depending on whether you are looking for more traction or more speed. They seem to hold well in the corners and climb really good. Better in both aspects than the Geax AKA I had before. I can't say how durable they will be in the long run because I haven't ran them long enough yet but they seem to be a good tire for varying types of terrain. If I had more time on them I might be inclined to give them 5 stars but I need a little more time on them, so far they seem to be a good solid tire.
Best Uses
Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 29" Tire:
Only one of the pictures for this product is the correct Saguaro tire, the Mezcal in the two other picture has smaller tread.
Great tire, 2.2" mounted on UST Easton Haven rim easily without any water or sealant and held air. They were a tight fit to get the beads on a UST rim, would be too tight for Stans oversized rim design. They seem very high end and roll well but I can't compare rolling resistance with other popular tires.
Best Uses
Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 29" Tire:
Awesome tire for the desert southwest environment. Two way mounting provides option for speed or extra traction. Tires mount a bit tougher than others but is due to the thicker sidewalls and superior tire quality. Well worth the investment!
Best Uses
Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 29" Tire:
I run this tire on the back of my 29er single speed. I converted a cheap Mavic 317 wheel to tubeless, with nothing more than yellow tape and a valve. Due to the tight fit of the bead, Geax TNT tires mount up tubeless REALLY easily. I run them pretty low pressure (about 20 psi - I'm 190 lbs geared up). No burps, very cushy, good grip, and of course, no pinch flats because no tubes!
I use the Saguaro for dry conditions, and the Gato for mud/wet. I can't say enough good things about Geax TNTs.
Best Uses
Comments about Geax Saguaro TNT 29" Tire:
Maybe it is my rims, but these could not be installed on my Rythyms. The bike shop destroyed them while trying to mount on my UST wheelset.
I really wanted to get on these, but ended up with Captains instead.

Can you hear me now? Communication in virtual product development teams
2009, Journal of Product Innovation Management
M. Montoya, Anne P. Massey, C. Hung, C. Crisp
Globalization and technological advances are driving organizations to extend the boundaries of new product development (NPD) teams from traditional colocated settings to dispersed or virtual settings. Virtual NPD teams have a wide array of information and communication technologies (ICTs) at their disposal. ICTs allow team members to communicate and collaborate as they cope with the opportunities and challenges of cross-boundary work. The purpose of this paper is to explore ICT use by members of virtual NPD teams. This study presents an exploratory test and integration of two competing perspectives of media use in virtual teams: media capacity theories and social dynamic media theories. Specifically, this paper examines the role of task type, organizational context, and ICT type as critical contingency variables affecting ICT use. It also examines how different patterns of ICT use relate to individual perceptions of team performance. The findings from this study of 184 members of virtual NPD teams in three global firms suggest that communication via ICTs in virtual NPD teams is contingent on a range of factors.
Montoya, M., A. P. Massey, C. Hung, and C. Crisp (2009), "Can you hear me now? Communication in virtual product development teams," Journal of Product Innovation Management, Vol. 26, No. 2, March, pp. 139-155.

The people advocating seem to have this mindset that everything is easy and it's okay to dictate things to people who you presumably play with because you have fun with them, as though they were employees or co-workers trying to accomplish a job. That's a very poor mentality to have in a game that's meant to be for enjoyment. To me it just kind of stinks of the attitude that the people you play with are tools to an end, and not people you actually like.

I am so tired of seeing terrible people, being admired, for being terrible people.
It's a past time activity and not a job. I suggest for anyone with that mindset, to actually go get a real job, then stand their man/woman in the world outside where it really matters. The moment the computer is turned off, all done in the game becomes meaningless. Prioritizing is a skill too, a very important one when it comes to real life... Sometimes it seems some fail at that skill...
There's only a few people on that planet for whom gaming skill equals job skill and income.
"The pen is mightier than the sword.. and considerably easier to write with."
if you got how "they" work you wouldn't be arguing this point. and would fully understand this sort of mentality.
Wtf does it matter who payed the uniform or the game. You are in a team, if you do not practice what you are expected to practice and perform at the level you are expected to, you get booted. Same goes for simply not showing up. If I do not do wtf my football coach says to do and he says "Guess what, you are out of the team!", I cant exactly say "No-uh! I payed my shoes myself!", no, I would be out of the team.
Volun-told - A supposedly optional event, award, assignment, or activity in which a person (or persons) are required to attend either by persons-in-charge nominating them or their peers expecting them to be there. The individual often has no say in the matter, and non-attendance in frowned upon.
I am so tired of seeing terrible people, being admired, for being terrible people.

I did play football (soccer) for 25 years, actively in a club. I went to practice twice a week, and played at the weekend. Any requirements at that level have been met by me, or the other members of the roster. That's normal, that's how the game works...
That subject changed dramatically when I switched to "private teams" made up entirely by friends, who met once a week at some public field in a park for a little kicking the ball around and friendly games every other week. No one expected to put the seriousness of a club team there anymore. If anyone would have tried (sometimes ones ego takes over ones personality) they've been told to shut the fuck up, and look at themselves instead.
A computer game is aimed at the second group, that plays on private team level, and not at the first group, that plays on amateur/semi pro level.

I want my gaming time to be brutally efficient. Min-maxing is my enjoyment, and it comes naturally to me. I stopped playing WoW back in 5.1, but I play a lot of DOTA2 now and that mindset still translates. I was sick of the pubbers being bads during my 1-2 games a night I get to play of DOTA2, so I went and found some friends to play with from forums, same deal with recruiting players.
Honestly every time someone someone tells me: 'lol chill dude, it's just a game', I imagine some teenaged stoner sent that message. People with serious jobs, families, and a life take things seriously, that is how they got to where they are in life, so of course they take gaming seriously too. Competitive drive, yo.
CompTIA A+ Computer technician, 7 years and counting...
Retired WoW Heroic Raider, currently playing DOTA 2 competitively.
with e sports becoming more and more popular, i wouldn't say that its directed at the first or second group. sports have been around for thousands of years. e sports has been around for like 20 years. you can play it off how ever you want. but some people play games for different reasons. you are not a competitive person maybe so you choose not to raid for progression, or you choose not to pvp for high ranks. some people play hockey to win trophies, some people play to get drunk with some friends after the game. its the exact same thing in wow.
DPS one as a warlock was piss easy. The closest i got to failing was 10 seconds where I was tabbed out for too long. Even gold high waves was faceroll.
A tank one is relatively easy, until wave 10 of gold. I failed as I hadnt slept in two days and was too slow on CDs and havent tried it today. But I reckon I'll do it first try today.
Healing however is totally different, that really is fucking hard. Cut them some slack if they get to wave 6+ on gold
The whole concept of "requiring" Gold in Proving Grounds is along the same lines as "requiring" training for a job.
Unfortunately, you should probably step back from the game and realise it isn't a job.
And you should probably realise that while Proving Grounds is a wonderful training tool, some classes have it much harder than others, and so while it is doable for everybody, it's actually quite challenging for some classes... And as a result, if you were to require me, for example, to do it, I'd probably gquit as well.
I'll put this into perspective for you: I'm a pretty good tank, and have been extended invites into pretty decent guilds, but I can't get past 10/10 Gold in Proving Grounds. Why? Because I'm a monk, and a crit-oriented monk at that. I'm good in a raid situation where I have my CDs at my disposal, and where I can control the situation, however after 10 back-to-back waves of enemies that actually do ridiculous amounts of damage to a leather tank, I simply don't have the CDs, and being crit-oriented, don't have the stamina. And yet in raid situations I rarely die, and if you ask my healers, it's not because they're spam healing me the entire time; monks are almost too spiky to take that final wave of enemies, given the healing DoT is 70k. I can self-heal til the cows come home but when the Conquerors enrage I die, every time.
So, I'd probably be pretty offended if you were ranking my skill based on my PG progression.
Can't blame your guildies for taking off, either.
its like requiring brawlers guild rank 10 before 5.4...
hello healers and tanks
I have forgotten more than you will ever know..

An Electric Future: Choose Wisely
Texas has become a nation leader in the development and implementation of many sustainable energy sources such as wind energy. Municipalities like those present in forward-thinking cities such as Austin have become nearly completely reliant on these cleaner sources of energy that are paving the way of the future. However, the relative newness of the change still leaves many people with questions regarding the right way to choose their energy provider. The deregulation practices in the Texas energy market have given customers this freedom, making it important to understand how to best exercise their power to drive the direction of the market.
There are many companies that have developed in Texas such as ElectricityTexas who have dedicated themselves to providing customers with side by side comparisons of rates and records for energy companies throughout the state, along with texas electricity promotions. Such public information allows customers to stay informed much more easily. People can use websites such as these to search companies based on their area, the incentives that any given company can offer, their renewables content, or the length of the contract.
Customers have plenty of good companies to choose from as well. The competition has served to drive down rates and encourage more transparent business practices. Among the top providers now serving Texas residents are Texas Power, Stream Energy, and TXU energy. TXU Energy has proven to be popular based on their commitment to using green resources as a mixture in the energy that they provide in addition to developing multiple incentives that are exclusive to customers using their services. Such deals and special offers include free electricity throughout the night-time hours. They also offer new customers outstanding deals on smart thermostats that are geared towards saving them money on their monthly bills.
Texas Power is able to maintain its appeal through the packages they offer to customers that are tailored towards individualized and specific issues. For instance, people signing up with them can choose the Pure 12 plan. This package guarantees that all energy coming into the home is from 100 percent green sources. By developing a way to ensure that one only receives power from solar and wind technology, they have made the ecologically aware are the target audience. People concerned only with the bottom line of pricing can take advantage of the 12 Month Term plan. This contract locks in your energy rates for one full year. The price that you pay when you sign up is the same one you will pay for 12 months regardless of market fluctuations.
Looking at individual companies and understanding the direction of the energy market as a whole in Texas allows people to see some of the advantages that have come through deregulation. The customers, the environment, and the energy companies are coming out on top in most instances when people exercise their right to choose providers who are operating in responsible ways.

Sometimes the truth hurts — especially when it comes to television ratings. After three seasons, FOX has cancelled Lie to Me.
Starring Tim Roth, Lie to Me revolves around Cal Lightman and members of The Lightman Group. They're a team of specialists who help law enforcement agencies uncover the truth by using applied psychology. Others in the cast include Kelli Williams, Brendan Hines, Monica Raymund, Hayley McFarland, and Mekhi Phifer.
Last season, Lie to Me averaged a 2.9 rating in the all-important 18-49 demographic and 8.03 million total viewers. That was down from season one and the series found itself on the bubble for renewal. FOX ended up giving the TV series another chance and renewed it for 13 episodes.
Unfortunately, season three didn't perform nearly as well as season two. It premiered last October to a 2.1 rating in the demo and 5.86 million. Viewership eroded in subsequent weeks and FOX declined to give the show a full season order. Lie to Me then hit a new series low in January, registering a meager 1.5 rating and 5.43 million viewers.
Loading ...
In its final weeks on the air, viewers seemed to rally behind it and Lie to Me had its best ratings of the season — a 2.5 in the demo and 7.67 million.
Though the ratings had come way down, FOX execs claimed that they still valued the TV series and saw it as a solid utility player. Showrunner Alex Cary said, "Fox has been very clear with us — they know what the show is, they know what it can do. [The ratings bump] shows that people will come watch the show."
Now, after three seasons on the air, the series is over. FOX has officially cancelled Lie to Me after 48 episodes. All of the installments have aired. Though there are too few episodes for a traditional syndication package, the first two seasons have already been released on DVD.
What do you think? Should Lie to Me have been renewed for season four?

The Scottish and Irish distillers emigrated to the America, and brought with them distillation. American spirits tend to be a little rough around the edges and we love them. Due to the warmer climes, they tend to mature much faster, thus there are few much older than their early twenties. Straight wheat whiskey is an American whiskey that differs from bourbon in the mash bill. It is distilled from a minimum of 51% wheat. There is only one straight whiskey in America: Bernheim. The wheat content offers a sweet, mellow character.

Ride your motorcycle or bike or walk in the dark with your Smart Alec? Weave a 5′ / 1.5 m Glowire electroluminescent wire kit through the webbing loops on the front face of the Smart Alec and set its 360° glow (very similar to neon) to Constant, Slow Flash, or Fast Flash for increased visibility.
One really important thing: installing or uninstalling the Glowire is easy and takes only a few moments. We've seen other bags with built-in LED strips or electroluminescent wire: cool idea, but what happens when those lights reach their end of life? Though Glowire is a top-quality product, it's unlikely to last as long as your Smart Alec. Tom's design choice of allowing you to add or remove the Glowire with ease ensures not only that you can remove the Glowire on days or trips you don't anticipate using it, but also that, should it fail, you can simply get a replacement Glowire instead of having to chuck the entire bag. Plus, if you tire of one color, it's easy enough to swap it out for another.
Included in the kit: 5′ / 1.5 m of electroluminescent wire in the color of your choice, connected to a 3-volt driver/power supply. Batteries aren't usually included in Glowire kits, but we didn't want you to have to run to the store to pick up batteries before you could even test it, so we've sourced and included two AA batteries (batteries made in USA).
Installing the Glowire on the Smart Alec is easy: weave the wire end through the inside of one side pocket down through the eyelet so the driver ends up on the inside of that pocket. Continue weaving the wire through the loops on the front face of the Smart Alec, then tuck the end of the wire neatly through the eyelet on the other side pocket. That's it — you're done! Your Glowire will run for over 24 hours on two AA batteries.
Tested in-house by Production Engineer Nik, who commutes on his motorcycle, and Shipping Lead Scott, who commutes on his bicycle.
|Electroluminescent wire: Central copper wire with a phosphorus material coating and two tiny transmitter wires covered by a PVC coating and finally a colored vinyl (Lime Green, Yellow, or Aqua) coat
|Made in China by Glowire
|One 5' / 1.5 m section of Glowire per pack
|3-volt driver runs over 24 hours on 2 AA batteries (included)
|Four settings: Constant, Slow Flash, Fast Flash, and Off
|Specifically for use with the Smart Alec backpack
|Expected life of each Glowire is 4000 hours on a cycle of 8 hours on/16 hours off
|Each Glowire is covered by Glowire's 90-day warranty

When he was only 2 years old, Tiger Woods appeared on the Mike Douglas Show. The little guy ambled onto the stage and started hitting golf balls and hitting them well. That TV appearance made it clear even at an early age that Tiger was destined to become one of the greatest golfers of all time.
What wasn't easy to predict from that appearance was his eventual penchant for skanks, hoochies, trollops and all manner of painted women. Also, it was hard to predict that one day his Swedish former-model wife would go upside his tater with a 9 iron. According to reports she whacked on that tater and whacked on it well.
It never made sense to me why Tiger would trawl for gutter trash while being married to a superiorly purdy woman. I also don't understand why restaurants put a lone slice of pickle the size of a nickel in the middle of a chicken sandwich, but that's a dilemma for another day.
If early behavioral patterns of children foreshadow the kind of adults they will become, I fear some people — OK, me — may be in a bit of a pickle.
While not wanting to evoke the ghost of Kathie Lee and Cody past, over the past year or so I've shared a few stories with you about my two little tax deductions. Other than a moderate physical resemblance to each other, the only personality traits they share are breathing and the lack of an inner monologue. Tax Deduction #1 is the calmer of the two, while Tax Deduction #2 is already trying to decide which side of her face will look the best in a police line-up.
Like TD#1, TD#2 can be very sweet. Every night before I put her in the crib she lets me hold her like a little baby for a minute — but there is a price. She'll grin and coo, but sometimes when things get almost tender she'll reach back to
I'm not sure what the bond is for misdemeanor assault these days, but being a planner I've already started a savings account.
TD#1 is currently taking piano lessons, so wanting to emulate her big sister TD#2 likes to play with an old Yamaha keyboard I recently purchased. At first she just randomly pounded on a few keys, but after a few minutes the 2-year-old Tchaikovsky started playing a tune that was vaguely familiar. After a while I realized she was doing a medley of Eddie Cochran's "I Fought the Law," Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law" and "Been Caught Stealing" by Janes Addiction.
It's possible TD#2 just digs tunes about evading law enforcement, but what happened in the car last Friday was and is incredibly worrisome.
We left the house at to meet with her parole officer. On the way there I look into the rearview mirror and notice she's taken off her shoes — no big deal, it happens all the time. The crux of the biscuit is what happened next: She pulls her socks over her hands as if they were gloves and starts rifling through a purse TD#1 left in the back seat. After she finishes ransacking the purse, she puts it down and puts her socks back on her feet. I guess she's figured out there is no way to lift prints off of cotton.
In an odd way I'm proud of her intellect; I just wish there was a way to channel it properly. I once let her do a ride-along with local police to show her what happens to bad people. Sadly, she took the cops' guns and forced them to drive her to Toys 'R Us.
The Wife and I are coming up on nearly four decades each of avoiding incarceration, yet we've been awarded with a little bundle of joy that could potentially make John Dillinger look like Captain Kangaroo. I realize Captain Kangaroo isn't a modern reference, but any man able to turn talking to a moose and a rabbit with a hand up their schnoinkels into a 38-year gig deserves a little recognition.
I'm sure Bob Keeshan would have rather been doing Shakespeare or working with directors such as Coppola or Kubrick instead of having to banter with a Grandfather Clock for most of his adult life, but that pumpkin-headed rascal played the cards he was dealt, so I guess I'll do the same.
Tiger started out as a good little boy but grew into a bit of a freak with a penchant for Silicon Sallys. Maybe TD#2 is getting all of her craziness out of her system now so she can later win a Nobel Prize or at least not do any federal time. Either way I'm sure it will provide me with plenty of material, which is good as I hear most defense attorneys demand to be paid with money.
