Softball Adds Three to Fall 2010 Roster
December 2, 2009
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Pfeiffer University head softball coach Todd Bradley announced the signing of three area athletes who will join the Lady Falcons softball program in the fall of 2010. The new additions to Pfeiffer include C.C. Dew, an all-around player from Sanford, N.C., Cynthia Hayes, a shortstop and utility player from Seagrove, N.C., and Hannah Jackson, an infielder from Greensboro, N.C.
Dew, formerly of Southern Lee High School in Sanford, now attends Cape Fear Christian Academy in Erwin, N.C. Dew is a versatile athlete who can play anywhere in the outfield and at second, third and behind the dish. Championships are no stranger to Dew as she helped Cape Fear to the N.C.I.S.A.A. 1A state championship last season. The Lady Eagles had a perfect record of 19-0, outscoring their opponents 27-0 in the state tournament. Dew was named all-conference, all-district and all-state at S.L.H.S. and was named all-conference and all-state with the Lady Eagles. In 2007, Dew took home the Pony national championship with her travel ball team, the Cape Fear Storm White. Dew currently maintains a 3.8 grade point average and has been inducted into the C.F.C.A. National Honor Society.
Hayes, out of Southwestern Randolph High School in Asheboro, can cover a lot of ground at the shortstop position. Hayes received the honor of taking home the Wendy's Heisman Award in the spring of 2009 and is a two-time 3A state champion with S.R.H.S. in 2007 and 2009. Hayes led her squad in '07 to a 30-1 record followed by a 26-3 mark in the banner years. Hayes gained all-conference and all-district recognition in each of her first three years, leading her conference sophomore year with a .500 batting average. Academically, Hayes has always found herself on the year-end honor roll.
Jackson, an infielder from the Shining Light Academy in Greensboro, plays in the middle infield if not catching behind the plate. Jackson has played all three years with the Knights softball program winning the coaches award in 2007 followed by the Most Valuable Player award in 2008. Jackson plays travel ball with the Randolph Knockouts and has played three years on the varsity basketball program at Shining Light. Jackson has been inducted into the Honor Society the last three years, has been named the Student Council President for the last two, and took home the school's music award a year ago.
The 2010 Lady Falcons will kick off the new campaign on February 6th in the UNC-Pembroke tournament. Pfeiffer will take on West Virginia State at noon, East Stroudsburg at 2:00 p.m. and Kutztown at 6:00 p.m.

I think both of these get used, with "unvarnished truth" much more popular and of much longer standing, at least according to n-gram. So I'm guessing "ungarnished truth" comes from a reshaping of "unvarnished truth", although it carries its own logical imagery and there's nothing particularly incorrect about it.
There could even be a slightly different slant to the two idioms, as I would think "varnished truth" attempts to hide the defects and rough bits, whereas "garnished truth" just tries to pretty up the meat and potatoes of the truth with some flavorful bits and pieces… Not sure I see this difference in normal usage, though.
I see a few references in there to the "plain, unfurnished truth". So perhaps envisioning the way you can see all the defects in a bare room, when you don't have curtains, rugs and furniture to cover up and distract? I kind of like it as an eggcorn.
Going one step from the unfurnishing, I see several references to the "unfinished truth" in contexts where the "unvarnished truth" would be appropriate. I suppose varnish is a finishing, so perhaps that's the connection.
There is also a deep reluctance on their part to tell the unfinished truth or admit fault, a streak of national chauvinism.
But then you get quotes like this where there seems to be a connection to the lack of completion:
I found this new picture of the rough cut Ruby crystal. It is more like me than the sparkling cut version. It seemed to reflect the unfinished truth of a work-in-progress. (near the end)

Larry Bjornson, author of the award-winning novel Wide Open (Penguin Books), will be the featured speaker at three events to be held at the Eisenhower Presidential Library April 19, 20, and 21 in Abilene, Kansas.
Winner of the Western Writers of America 2013 Spur Award and the 2012 Forward National Literature Award, Wide Open is based on the actual events of the 1871 Abilene, Kansas, cattle season, its greatest year as a legendary cowtown. In that post-Civil War summer, over 600,000 longhorn cattle and thousands of Texans came up the trail from the south and inundated Abilene, a small northern town of only 800 residents.
Wide Open focuses on the tense north/south culture clash and the town's moral and political struggle to decide what kind of community, and what kind of state, Kansans would build. You also see Abilene's marshal, Wild Bill Hickok, as he really was.
As told by fifteen-year-old Will Merritt, Wide Open is a story of wrenching change and the conflict that brings it about, a story of family, the obligations of friendship, and the earliest years of a lifelong romance. In this dangerous summer, young Will is shaped by events, evolving from self-centered youth to a young man of courage and honor.

Davis and Shoemaker Deliver Clutch HR's as Baseball Defeats Belmont Abbey 7-4 in Opener of CC Tournament
April 15, 2010
WILSON, N.C. Senior first baseman Will Davis came up with the game-tying two-run homer in the top of the ninth while junior left fielder Eric Shoemaker blasted the go-ahead two-run shot in the top of the eleventh as Pfeiffer University defeated Belmont Abbey 7-4 in the opening game of the 2010 Conference Carolinas baseball tournament. The fourth-seeded Falcons improve to 25-25 and will face the winner of Erskine/Barton on Friday night at 7:00 p.m. The Crusaders fall to 17-22 and face the victor of Mount Olive/Anderson tomorrow at 11:00 a.m.
Trailing by two entering the ninth, Preston Lyon started the inning with a single to left. Davis quickly followed with his round-tripper on a 1-2 pitch squaring the contest at three apiece. Both teams traded runs in the tenth as Myles Pearl picked up a RBI-single for the Falcons while Roberto Sanchez scored the game-tying run with his two-out RBI-double.
In the eleventh, Josh Strickland reached with a one-out infield single before Shoemaker belted his go-ahead dinger off of a 0-1 pitch. Insurance came later in the frame as Jesse Dunn scored on a Hunter Boehme RBI-single to right. Dunn reached with a double, right after Shoemaker lifted off.
Belmont Abbey held a 3-0 lead after five, riding the arm of starter Tyler Powell. Daniel Torrente put the Crusaders on the board with a sacrifice-fly in the fourth while Justin Vazquez delivered a two-run shot to right in the Abbey fifth. Pfeiffers first run came in the top half of the sixth as Zack Pou drove in Boehme with his groundout to second.
Luke Wilhelm earned the win in relief tossing 3.2 innings, allowing one run on two hits with five strikeouts. Both starters didnt factor into a decision as Austin Campbell with 7.1 for the Falcons allowing three runs on eight hits while Crusader right-hander Powell with eight strong allowing one unearned run on four hits while fanning eight.

I have decided to dedicate my Thursday posts to my current hometown…Tavares, FL. Sometimes we get so caught up in life and wanting to get away from the same ol', same ol' that we neglect to see all of the cool things right outside our very own door. The City of Tavares has done a great job of turning a once very bland downtown into a very interesting place…like the splash park.
Today they are preparing to open the Splash Park back up and the city workers are making sure that everything is working perfectly. Check out the guy sitting on top of the seaplane. Looks like fun, huh?
and speaking of sea planes…
we really are America's Seaplane City
they take off and land all day long…
and the Prop Shop has all kinds of souvenirs and cold drinks.
plus it's a pretty cool Florida Cracker style of architecture
The City of Tavares Water Taxis are really cool too
and since the City hosts the Antique Classic Boat Festival there are always lots of these amazing boats. Makes me think of On Golden Pond…I loved that movie…always a Katharine Hepburn fan…
this is what Florida in the Spring is all about…
Huge mossy oak trees and azalea bushes surrounds the Wooten Wonderland Playground.
and who can pass this up…
and this is how we do it down it the L.C. {Lake County} I just like saying the "L.C." maybe they will make a TV show about it, lol.
That is Al's Landing in the background. It's a great place for good food and drinks and live music.
and my other favorite place is the Lucky Dog Gallery & Cafe, which has the best pizza and Pollo Asado in town and they host many local indie artist events. It is next door to my building {see the balcony? I have 7 apartments up there. Don't you want to stay?}
and then Ruby Street Grille is a great place to get a gigantic burrito and a drink while your supposed to be working. OOPS! Did I just put that in print? Its a good thing I'm the boss, lol.
and since it is St. Patty's Day I can't go without mentioning the host of todays events… O'Keefe's
and before you leave town you MUST stop by the Tavares Antique Mall and introduce yourself to the owner Lou and check out all the great stuff, including my very own booth located in the back room.
You might just catch a glimpse of me wandering about with the most photographed puppy in Tavares…yep, it's Gypsy
or you might see me cruising down Main Street in my good ol' Jeep, with the tunes blastin' and the wind blowing through my hair.
Yeppers…that's how we roll in the L.C. and {not so} big ol' City of Tavares.
Happy St. Patty's Day

Gallery: The Best In-Season Veggies to Buy for Thanksgiving Dinner at Y...
Beets are one of the healthiest vegetables out there, but they can inspire a different breed of vegetable-hatred. With a few simple tips, you can transform these earthy bulbs into a delectable dish that even the surest beet-hater will love (we're speaking from experience, here!). While beets are available year-round, they reach their peak freshness during the fall. Roast the beets whole to bring out their unique sweetness, then chop them up and enjoy them in a fresh spinach salad. Or highlight the whole beet by sautéing the greens with garlic and tossing with the chopped roasted bulbs and crumbled goat cheese.
Given the dozens of different types of squash available at most city markets, it may a little silly to lump them all together. But for the sake of simplicity, we only picked up our favorites: butternut and acorn, both of which are sweeter winter squashes that are rich in vitamins. Our favorite way to cook butternut squash is in pastas, as it adds a nutty, creamy flavor – this butternut squash mac and cheese recipe is amazing and makes an awesome main course for vegetarians. For acorn squash, we love to preserve their beautiful shape by simply slicing off the top, seasoning the inside with butter and spices, and baking until the squash can be easily mashed. Use cinnamon and brown sugar for a sweeter side, and swap the butter for faux-butter or olive oil to make it vegan.
While Tropical Storm Irene completely ruined crops for many farmers (and gave us a pumpkin shortage!), the heavy rains were a godsend for mushroom growers. Normally exotic mushrooms can be a bit pricey, but the bounty has helped level the cost, making it the perfect time to showcase one of our region's most underrated delights. Add roasted oyster or crimini mushrooms to your standard roasted potatoes for a dressed-up side, or let the mushrooms take center stage with a quick saute.
Kale is in-season through mid-winter, and our favorite farm stand literally had a mound of beautiful, leafy kale for sale at this week's market. The dark hearty greens are possibly one of the best vegetables you could eat since it's full of vitamins K, A, and C, plus magnesium, fiber and much more. Our go-to way for preparing kale is to simply sauté it with some garlic and olive oil, and for a fancier, deeper flavor, we like to add a bit of smoked paprika. If you've already got too many pots on the stove, toss the leaves with oil and garlic and roast it in the oven.

12/10/14 Rihanna Preggers?
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Wednesday, December 10, 2014
The not-so-reliable MediaTakeOut.com says RIHANNA is pregnant. And they're 100% GUARANTEEING it's true . . . so there's that. There's no word who the dad is. Rihanna supposedly just found out days ago. They say Rihanna is working on a song for her new album where she'll talk about, quote, "the baby growing inside me." Also, she has BANNED ALL WEED SMOKING in the studio . . . which is totally uncharacteristic of her.
We'd heard that FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. was pretty shaken up after "witnessing" a murder-suicide on FaceTime Monday. But he wasn't too distraught to take in a basketball game. Later that night, he was at the Staples Center to watch the Clippers take on the Suns. Meanwhile, TMZ says Floyd may have been riling up his friend EARL HAYES in the moments before he shot and killed his wife STEPHANIE MOSELEY, then himself. Sources say he was telling Earl to leave her, and even called him WEAK for staying. Obviously, that doesn't mean Floyd CAUSED the murder-suicide.
LEBRON JAMES put his arm around KATE MIDDLETON during a photo op Monday night. Some British newspapers say this was a breach of royal protocol. But a Palace spokesman says Will and Kate want people to, quote, "address them in whatever way you feel most comfortable.
With each new day, the hackers who cyber attacked Sony reveal another secret or two. Yesterday, we learned two shocking pieces of insider gossip. Tom Cruise was once considered for the role in the still unreleased Steve Jobs bio-pic. Thankfully, that will never happen. That role has gone to Michael Fassbender. Also, not everyone is infatuated with Angelina Jolie. During an exceptionally bitter email exchange, a top-notch Academy Award-winning producer refused to work with Angie because she behaves like a "spoiled brat."
12/9/14 Kate Hudson Single Again
Find me on Facebook: Jake Emily Poyet Webb
Tuesday, December 9, 2014
KATE HUDSON and MUSE singer MATT BELLAMY have called off their engagement. And everything else for that matter. They had been together for four years, and have a 3-year-old son named Bingham. Kate's rep says, quote, "Kate and Matt have been separated for some time now. Despite this, they remain very close friends and committed co-parents."
DIDDY beat up DRAKE outside a Miami nightclub. Sources say it was over Drake using some of his music without permission. Two sources said Drake went to the HOSPITAL, possibly with a dislocated shoulder.
Boxer FLOYD MAYWEATHER JR. witnessed a murder-suicide on FaceTime yesterday morning. His friend, a rapper named EARL HAYES, shot and killed his actress-wife STEPHANIE MOSELEY, before turning the gun on himself. When it happened, Floyd was on FaceTime with Hayes, begging him to calm down. It's not clear what Floyd actually saw, but he definitely heard the whole thing.

MILEY CYRUS had a fun couple of days last week. On Wednesday night, she performed at an art show in Miami wearing disco ball pasties. Then, on Thursday night, Miley and boyfriend PATRICK SCHWARZENEGGER were still partying in Miami. They hit up a club where PARIS HILTON was DJ-ing, and Miley and Paris ended up MAKING OUT. On Wednesday night after Miley's near-naked performance, she and Patrick were at this same club, where they danced with STRIPPERS. Patrick reportedly dropped 10-grand to help them through nursing school.
MEGAN FOX and BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN got hit by a drunk driver in Los Angeles on Thursday, but they're apparently fine. The other man crossed lanes and crashed his Mini Cooper head-on into Brian and Megan's Range Rover. He was arrested for DUI.
Rumor has it... Leonardo DiCaprio and model Toni Garrn have called it quits. Recently, Leo was spotted partying with a large group, including Joe Jonas, at the popup version of 1 Oak in South Beach. One source says Leo left the club with every single girl partying in his VIP section. Quote, "He left with 20 girls. Leo and 20 girls. He is my hero. He was overflowing with models everywhere. The Jonas brother looked scared, like he was going to drown and suffocate in the women. His face was hilarious."

JOSE CANSECO recently lost a finger AND a fiancée. He had the finger reattached, and now he's looking to correct the other problem . . . by hitting on SHANIA TWAIN. Earlier this week, Jose Tweeted, quote, "Shania Twain, want to get married? We were supposed to meet when I played for the Blue Jays in 1998." Then he sent her a SHIRTLESS picture. He ended up deleting the Tweets. Not that they would have worked. Shania married her second husband in 2011
TRACY MORGAN is still trying to recover from that horrific accident over the summer. On Wednesday, he was spotted using a walker while going into a New Jersey post office with his fiancée.
Someone shot video, and asked Tracy how he's doing. He said he was, quote, "Fighting every day."
Britney Spears's new beau, Charlie Ebersol, got a big thumbs-up from her family, but Charlie's mom isn't feeling the love for the Britney. According to Radar Online, Susan Saint James "cannot believe that her son is getting serious with Britney. All Charlie's mother has ever wanted is for him to get married and have children. She just doesn't think Britney is the right choice. [His father] thinks it is great to see his son happy, but Susan wants him to be with someone less famous."
12/4/14 Johnny & Amber Taking Break

Sources say JOHNNY DEPP and AMBER HEARD are cooling off a little . . . because she's TOO WILD. There was a time when that would seem absurd, but Johnny is 51 and a dad . . . while Amber is 28 and a pretty free spirit. A source says, quote, "Amber flirts and has many different kinds of relationships. She is not really ready to settle down."
MARIAH CAREY sang "All I Want for Christmas Is You" at last night's Christmas tree lighting in New York City . . . and she BUTCHERED IT. But hey . . . at least she was actually SINGING, which rarely happens anymore. Mariah could have avoided all this. She was actually supposed to pre-record the performance Tuesday night, but she left everyone waiting for THREE HOURS. TMZ says she was busy talking to her DIVORCE ATTORNEY, while E! Online says she didn't want to perform because it was raining. She did eventually show up, but by then, they just sent her home.
A German zookeeper says Justin Bieber purchased an endangered baby monkey illegally on the black market, and then neglected it so badly that it required intensive care. The zookeeper adopted his abandoned monkey, Mally, and said, 'I would not like to meet Justin Bieber because I would not have pleasant things to say to him.' She explained, 'Mally was frightened [when he arrived], he was alone, he was disoriented and we did not know how things would work out for him. He needed to be cared for constantly.'
George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin tied the knot just two months ago, but the honeymoon may already be over -- because she's backing off from a plan to start a family right away. A friend of the longtime bachelor actor tells the National Enquirer, "George feels a little like he's a victim of a bait and switch. He wants a child right away, but Amal would like a year to adjust to her marriage and newfound fame before dealing with a pregnancy or the red tape of a complicated international adoption."

These invitations will definitely leave guests in awe! The colors are so beautiful and vibrant; it's a brilliant design, really. The pictures were printed very clearly as well (drastic improvement in clarity compared to the last time I purchased the same style of invitations for my son's birthday back in 2013). THANK YOU Magnet Street!
Great card
This magnet card served as both an invitation and a "keep-the-date". I wrapped it around sparkly gift-tissue paper everyone loved it. i must warn you tho, *** this invitation is heavier than the regular envelopes and it takes $.60 (one forever stamp + one twenty cent stamp) to mail it out within the US***. overall i was very pleased!!!! oh and the picture is not HD but it looks great.

About Matchbox Twenty
18 years and still at the top (Updated January 31, 2013)
Not many bands make it 18 years together, let alone with the same original members, on the same label they started out with. But not many bands are Matchbox Twenty.
Rob Thomas, Paul Doucette, Kyle Cook and Brian Yale are the foursome behind a band that quickly found international fame with the debut album, "Yourself or Someone Like You" all the way back in 1996. But they'd been playing together even before that, as a Southeastern band called Tabitha's Secret, extending the roots of Matchbox Twenty into two decades together (and counting).
If there's proof in longevity, this is it. The band has released just four albums of new material in 18 years. The latest, "North" bowed in September 2012 and debuted at the very top of the Billboard albums chart. It followed "Mad Season" (2000), which was certified 4x platinum in the United States, and "More Than You Think You Are" (2002), which has achieved double platinum status. Known for hits like "Unwell," "How Far We've Come," "If You're Gone," "These Hard Times," "Bent" and "3 am," the band finally released a greatest hits package in 2007. It didn't include, of course, songs from Thomas' solo ventures. The most memorable turned out to be a collaboration with Itaal Shur on a song called "Smooth" for Carlos Santana's album "Supernatural" in 1999. It won three Grammy Awards: Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Popular Music Collaboration with Vocals.
Matchbox Twenty is no slouch when it comes to awards and nominations, either. They've received accolades from the American Music Awards, the Grammys and the MTV Video Music Awards. They also captured a People's Choice Award for Favorite Musical Group in 2004.
The band's 2013 North American Tour began January 29th in Catoosa, Oklahoma and ends on March 30th in Indio, California. The headlining tour consists of 39 shows in that two-month time frame. Also on the bill is a stop at Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans to perform on the pregame show with OneRepublic.

Misfires under load (acceleration) can be caused by leaky spark plug boots. When a spark plug boot leaks, it allows the spark to arc, or jump, to the cylinder head. New spark plug wires will be needed.
1993 Mazda MX-6 Problem Reports
RepairPal Verified 1993 Mazda MX-6 Problem Reports
Vehicles with a V6 engine may develop an engine misfire under load (acceleration). This can be caused by a valve cover gasket leaking oil into a spark plug well, shorting the spark plug to the cylinder head. To repair this concern, the valve cover needs to be resealed and the spark plugs and wires should be replaced.
Our technicians report the original paint tends to fade and the clear coat peels off, though many cars have now been repainted.
If the engine cranks but does not start, it may be caused by a tripped inertia switch. Switch the key to "ON" and the fuel pump should be heard running for a second or two. Listen at the gas filler if necessary. If you do not hear the pump the inertia switch should be reset, it will "click" when it is reset.
If the engine cranks but will not start, it may be due a failed distributor. In the diagnosis, it may be discovered that the Electronic Engine Control (EEC) Unit is the cause if ignition spark is restored after disconnecting the Spark Output (SPOUT) Connector.

Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said he's looking at the positives when it comes to his team, which tends to have the losses magnified.
"The story for my team is the fact that we are competing and we are doing a good job, in fact, a terrific job, and we have continued to win at a very high level without Ryan (Kelly, an injured senior forward)," he said. "The story isn't what we lost. The story is how much we've won."
Duke is in second place in the Atlantic Coast Conference, trailing Miami by three games in the loss column. The Blue Devils can't afford another loss if their March 2 matchup with Miami is going to have much of bearing on the conference race.
Tonight's opponent for Duke is last-place Virginia Tech, which has lost eight games in a row.
Duke is coming off Saturday night's loss at Maryland, a result that knocked Duke down in the polls after 13 consecutive weeks in the Top 5.
"It's not about what we have lost," said Krzyzewski, who's aiming for his 950th career victory tonight. "It's about what we have won."
The Blue Devils have had a bit of a lull in the schedule after capping a stretch of four games in 10 days with the outing at Maryland. Krzyzewski said that took a toll on his team, not to mention much-anticipated games against North Carolina State and North Carolina.
Meanwhile, Virginia Tech's Erick Green leads the country in scoring with 25.3 points per game.
Krzyzewski said Green is remarkable in finding ways to score in various fashions.
"They do a great job of putting him in a position where he has the ball and can score," Krzyzewski said. "They position him in different parts of the court, very well conceived."
Duke's top player has been Mason Plumlee, but he struggled in the Maryland game. Krzyzewski said he expects him to recover.
"He has just had a great year, and sometimes those things happen, like Saturday," Krzyzewski said. "Maryland had something to do with it (because) they played really well. You could tell, Mason just wasn't at his best. That proved to be something that we could not overcome and get a victory."
Virginia Tech coach James Johnson, a former assistant coach at Elon University, said his team must be sharp and ready to adjust to Duke's defensive pressure.
"Try to get certain guys the ball in the right area," Johnson said. "They're going to pressure us and take us out of our offense."
The Hokies took N.C. State into overtime Saturday before losing in Raleigh.
"Saw some bright spots out of it," Johnson said, "but again, was not able to finish the game off."
Who: No. 6 Duke (22-3, 9-3) at Virginia Tech (11-14, 2-10)
When: 9 tonight (ESPN2)
Where: Cassell Coliseum, Blacksburg, Va.
Series: Duke leads 40-8, including victories in the last four meetings

US citing security to censor more public records
Tuesday - 3/12/2013, 3:28am EDT
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration answered more requests from the public to see government records under the Freedom of Information Act last year, but more often than it ever has it cited legal exceptions to censor or withhold the material, according to a new analysis by The Associated Press. It frequently cited the need to protect national security and internal deliberations.
The AP's analysis showed the government released all or portions of the information that citizens, journalists, businesses and others sought at about the same rate as the previous three years. It turned over all or parts of the records in about 65 percent of all requests. It fully rejected more than one-third of requests, a slight increase over 2011, including cases when it couldn't find records, a person refused to pay for copies or the request was determined to be improper.
The AP examined more than 5,600 data elements measuring the administration's performance on government transparency since Obama's election.
People submitted more than 590,000 requests for information in fiscal 2012 -- an increase of less than 1 percent over the previous year. Including leftover requests from previous years, the government responded to more requests than ever in 2012 -- more than 603,000 -- a 5 percent increase for the second consecutive year.
When the government withheld or censored records, it cited exceptions built into the law to avoid turning over materials more than 479,000 times, a roughly 22 percent increase over the previous year. In most cases, more than one of the law's exceptions was cited in each request for information.
The government's responsiveness under the FOIA is widely viewed as a barometer of the federal offices' transparency. Under the law, citizens and foreigners can compel the government to turn over copies of federal records for zero or little cost. Anyone who seeks information through the law is generally supposed to get it unless disclosure would hurt national security, violate personal privacy or expose business secrets or confidential decision-making in certain areas.
The AP's review comes at the start of the second term for Obama, who promised during his first week in office that the nation's signature open-records law would be "administered with a clear presumption: In the face of doubt, openness prevails." The review examined figures from the largest federal departments and agencies. Sunday was the start of Sunshine Week, when news organizations promote open government and freedom of information.
White House spokesman Eric Schultz said in a statement that during the past year, the government "processed more requests, decreased the backlog, improved average processing times and disclosed more information pro-actively." Schultz said the improvements "represent the efforts of agencies across the government to meet the president's commitment to openness. While there is more work to be done, this past year demonstrates that agencies are responding to the president's call for greater transparency."
In a year of intense public interest over deadly U.S. drones, the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, terror threats and more, the government cited national security to withhold information at least 5,223 times -- a jump over 4,243 such cases in 2011 and 3,805 cases in Obama's first year in office. The secretive CIA last year became even more secretive: Nearly 60 percent of 3,586 requests for files were withheld or censored for that reason last year, compared with 49 percent a year earlier.
Other federal agencies that invoked the national security exception included the Pentagon, Director of National Intelligence, NASA, Office of Management and Budget, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Federal Communications Commission and the departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Energy, Homeland Security, Justice, State, Transportation, Treasury and Veterans Affairs.
U.S. courts are loath to overrule the administration whenever it cites national security. A federal judge, Colleen McMahon of New York, in January ruled against The New York Times and the American Civil Liberties Union to see records about the government's legal justification for drone attacks and other methods it has used to kill terrorism suspects overseas, including American citizens. She cited an "Alice in Wonderland" predicament in which she was expected to determine what information should be revealed but unable to challenge the government's secrecy claim. Part of her ruling was sealed and made available only to the government's lawyers.
"I find myself stuck in a paradoxical situation in which I cannot solve a problem because of contradictory constraints and rules -- a veritable Catch-22," the judge wrote. "I can find no way around the thicket of laws and precedents that effectively allow the executive branch of our government to proclaim as perfectly lawful certain actions that seem on their face incompatible with our Constitution and laws, while keeping the reasons for their conclusion a secret."

The ASPCA applauds the White House for taking a stand this week against local laws targeting certain dog breeds. We have worked for years to fight these unjust and ineffective laws, known as breed-specific legislation or "BSL." The Centers for Disease Control, the American Veterinary Medical Association and the American Bar Association all agree that BSL does not prevent dog bites or enhance public safety.
BSL is counterproductive. Rather than give up their beloved pets, owners of restricted breeds often attempt to hide their "outlaw" dogs by restricting time outdoors and even limiting vet visits. Actions like these, taken to avoid detection, can have negative consequences for both public and canine health.
Studies have concluded that correctly identifying a dog's breed based on looks alone is a hit-or-miss proposition—and the confusion only grows when dealing with mixed breeds, so these laws are difficult to enforce. Additionally, animal control officers in jurisdictions with BSL end up spending too much time enforcing breed bans instead of routine enforcement of dog licensing laws, leash laws and other regulations that require owners to control their dogs−regardless of breed.
The ASPCA is currently fighting breed discrimination in Massachusetts and Maryland. On the national scale, residents of public housing funded by the federal government are often impacted by rules that unfairly restrict the breeds they may own. The Obama Administration's statement should instruct federal agencies to review their policies to be sure they don't allow flawed regulations and breed bans. Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to help fight BSL in your area!

I agree. I wrote the White House about all animal problems and they wrote back saying they agreed with me. I'd like to think my letter helped. All of us need to write the White House about how animals are killed for no reason. We need to stop the killing and mistreatment
of all animals.
This is one war I would stand by Obama to fight! We must end the senseless slaughter of innocent family animals based on lies.
I just gave up my pitbul to the SPCA of Ogdensburg NY. My husband and I are living in an assisted living facility and we have been here for three months. It breaks my heart that the excuse the housing authority gave to us for not allowing us to have our 7yr. old Pitbull was "the dog is too big and he is a pitbull" They lied and didn't tell us we weren't taking proper care of the dog. We had the pitbull since he was 5 1/2 weeks old. My husband and I did the right thing but the assisted living authority gave us the wrong reason to do it. I love pitbulls.
Would have loved to have taken your dog in. Actually, I acquired mine through the incarceration of a relative. He was released just a few days ago and has been forbidden to live in the same house with me :). My Pit is affectionate (too many times) as you never know who may coming around to trespass on your property is he is always doing 'back flips' with everyone. One stereotype is that people see him and are ready to run from him just to head on with a moving vehicle. Never happened though but the possibility exists. I always have him on a leash. What needs to happen, though, is that we need 'POOP' police. Excrement everywhere on the streets!
I am glad to see legislation being put forth to stop this. In Florida where I live it is becoming a big problem not only BS but SIZE too. Residents of public housing or now in most rental housing or association community run housing are now being forced to abide by these unfair restrictions of breed, quantity and size(made by individual residences usually a 25lbs or less limit total) laws. With the economy and the large amount of families losing their homes they are forced to rent and are finding that more often that not not only are rentals, even if it is in an other home, communities are more expensive than what they where paying before but they may no longer can keep their family pet. The no-kill shelters down here are overflowing and begging for foster homes so they can take in more from the kill shelters or from the people who can't keep their pets. People are so desperate to not turn there pets into kill shelters they are willing to let them loose to fend for themselves which is no solution but better off than a dead pet. We have had reports on the news of hundred of dogs that we know of that have been rescued from the roads that line the Everglades not knowing how many have disappeared into it or been kill along the roads where big trucks rumble every day and that's only in south Florida I am sure the same thing is happening everywhere. So I'm Glad some legislation is being proposed but it needs to be taken farther because these are not just our pets they are our family and would you give up one or two of your family members just because someone said you could have no place you could afford to live if you brought your family members to live with you? You would sue them, but with an animal you can't, can you. So let's change that law!
Military housing also bans certain breeds. So many give up their loving pets so they can live on base or the breed is not allowed in the country they are moved to. I would love to see an end to this, but unfortunately we cannot change other countries laws.
And in most cases its the peoples fault for the dogs having a bad rep. There are no bad dogs just bad owners.

Since Sonar 2.4, a "Filters" service has been added as the home page. The main objective of this service is to respond to a maximum of questions without needing to drill down to secondary pages. Here are some use cases covered by this service :
- List my favourite projects
- List the worst projects from the desired perspectives : technical debt, code coverage, duplications, ...
- List the modules of a project
- List the most complex files
- List the most longest unit test files
- ...
From there, you can click on any resource to drilldown to this resource.
"My favourites" tab
This tab is displayed only when a user is logged into Sonar and list all resources, whatever they are projects, modules, packages or files, that have been flagged as favourite by the user :
A resource can be flagged as favourite by simply clicking on a star icon available in the "Dashboard" and "Components" pages :
"Projects" tab
This tab is available and displayed by default for all Sonar users on any new Sonar instance. As expected, this page displays all available projects. This table as any other tables can be sorted by clicking on a column header.
Creating a new filter
Creating a filter requires to be logged in and then to click on the "Add filter" button :
A creation filter form can then be filled :
Here the list of available fields :

Tynedale earn bonus from more capital punishment
Published at 07:41, Wednesday, 05 December 2012
WINS in London are in shorter supply than Helen Flanagan bushtucker trial successes for Tynedale this season.
Saturday's trip to the Smoke was no exception, with Tynedale again on the wrong side of a 21-14 scoreline.
But they gave a good account of themselves, in keeping with their improved form in their last few matches.
Blackheath have a reputation for implacable and unremitting forward pressure, with the backs only there to make up the numbers.
And given the fact that Saturday's game was played in continuous steady rain, there was no chance that the game was going to be anything other than a forward slog.
Tynedale were without coach Tom Borthwick, who was at a family wedding, so the squad was in the tender care of forwards supremo and video expert Tom Bramald, advised an encouraged by Bullet himself, Peter Southern.
But if Blackheath expected an easy afternoon at the Rectory Field from the country bumpkins, they were in for a rude awakening.
For the Tynedale pack tore into them from the start, giving as good as they got, and they were confident enough in their own ability to eschew kickable penalties in favour of penalty scrums.
The front row of Alex Westgarth, George McGuigan and Scott Wilson were outstanding, and once the two props had done their stint, Andrew Harrison and David Dickinson were more than able replacements.
Hats off too to fly half Matty Outson, who converted both Tynedale tries with some aplomb.
On the rare occasions the ball came out of the pack, Tynedale were ready for it, with another man of the match performance from full back Chris Harris.
Peter Moralee came in on the wing to fill the boots of Peter Cole, but was given little chance to demonstrate the fact that he is possibly the fastest runner at the club.
Tynedale started in confident mood, making light of the incessant downpour to force a string of early penalties.
Tynedale bossed the scrummages, wringing penalty after penalty from their hosts in the red zone, and a less lenient referee might have waved a yellow card or two.
After 10 minutes of pressure, Blackheath finally cracked, and number eight Ollie Stedman crashed over from yet another penalty scrum
It was quite a way out from the posts, so Matty Outson's conversion came as a nice surprise.
Blackheath had gone three games without a win, plummeting down the table, so the score gave faint flutters of a rare success Down South.
However, Blackheath regrouped, and started to come into the game, although the encounter was 25 minutes old before they made any serious incursion into the Tynedale 22.
A penalty was kicked to touch, and from the line-out, the ball was moved infield for fly-half David Dunne to find centre Dave Bonner, who went in under the posts.
Dunne's conversion brought the scores level with 25 minutes gone.
The Blackheath forwards continued to impress, but it was a quickly taken free kick by scrum half Jack Walsh which led to Blackheath going in front on 33 minutes.
The ball was spun left, and a ruck on the Tynedale line saw lock Gethin Davies power over for another converted try. The score remained 14-7 at half time.
The second half began with Blackheath edging things, but the greasy ball and appalling conditions meant that Tynedale were always in with a shout.
They had a let-off on six minutes when they were penalised for coming in at the side, but Dunne's penalty slapped off the crossbar, and Tynedale were able to clear.
Two minutes later, another penalty to touch saw Blackheath win the line out, but when they spread the ball wide, they knocked on.
Blackheath managed to get over the line again on 11 minutes, but heroic Tynedale defence prevented them from grounding the ball.
Tynedale had their moments too, with Outson scraping the post with a penalty 15 minutes into the half.
The balance finally tilted Blackheath's way on 70 minutes, when Tynedale hooker George McGuigan was yellow carded for being offside.
The resulting penalty was kicked the usual five metres from the line, and depleted Tynedale were unable to resist the catch and drive from the line-out.
Flanker Dave Allen was credited with the try, and Dunne added the conversion to take the score to 21-7.
Tynedale kept beavering away, and a yellow card was issued to a Blackheath player unidentifiable beneath his crust of mud.
Tynedale stepped up a gear, and right at the end of normal time, replacement flanker Sam Reynolds touched down for Tynedale's second try.
Tynedale needed Outson's conversion to go over to claim a losing bonus point, and sure enough, the fly half obliged with a peach of a kick. It was Tynedale's 11th bonus point of the season – only leaders Ealing Trailfinders have more.

Gallery: Innovative Designs in MoMA's Talk to Me Exhibit Explore How Ob...
+ Momo
Love it or not, technology has replaced more and more of our daily needs. The inventive pieces in Talk to Me show us that technology can be our friend, and reminds us that there is an actual person behind every device. Be sure to look out for our upcoming exclusive video interview with Paola in the coming weeks.
New York and Los Angeles are the centers of the graffiti movement, but what happens when a graffiti legend becomes paralyzed? This is the case with LA artist TEMPT1. ALS (commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease) has left the artist mostly paralyzed, except for parts of his face and his eyes. Thanks to Free Art Technology, OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab and The Ebeling Group, the amazing EyeWriter has been developed. A simple pair of glasses were fitted with eye-tracking technology and accompany software, that traced the movement of TEMPT1's eyes. Connecting to a laptop, the eye drawings can be projected in bold colors in extremely large scale on the sides of buildings. Although not the thrill of tagging a building in paint, TEMPT1 is again able to continue creating his art on buildings. The unartistically inclined are now able to write letters and other forms of communication with their loved ones.
Kacie Kinzer allowed New Yorkers to interact with Sam, a Tweenbot, a few summers ago as it perused Washington Square Park. The cute little robot motored all over the park, coming to many obstacles as it tried to reach its destination. When Sam would get stuck at a curb, pothole, or under a bench, a little red flag would go up, indicating which direction he'd like to go. Surprisingly, most park go-ers helped the little machine, picking it up and facing it in the right direction, or in a direction out of harm's way. Kinzer, initially thinking that the cardboard robot would be trampled on and ruined, filmed the interaction secretly. She found that most people not only interacted with Sam (an object), but he spurred conversation amongst strangers.
Like bees, bats help keep the flow of our ecosystem, pollinating plants and eating unwanted bugs. But in the city, people aren't too keen on letting bats reside on their properties, which could essentially be harmful to the flow of the environment. Chris Woebken and Natalie Jeremijenko's Bat Billboard provides a place for city bats to rest their wings. What's more, the screen on the surface of the billboard translates bat calls from within, comparing the sounds to archival call patterns, and giving these bats a "voice." The project hopes to connect humans and bats, preserving their urban infrastructure, while disassociating them from that pesky Dracula guy.
A city's traffic and roadways is the lifeblood of an urban area. With that visual in mind, Pedro Miguel Cruz, Penousal Machado and Joao Bicker tracked Lisbon's traffic at various times of the day. The data, given by MIT Portugal's CityMotion project, was recorded and coded by color and thickness. The resulting visual shows not only how a city is a living being, but also trends in traffic. The glowing circulatory system shows what areas to avoid and when, how the city changes throughout the day, and useful information, presented in a way that anyone with a heart can related to.
+ Visualizing Lisbon's Traffic
With the popularity of the internet in mind, one topic addressed with Talk to Me is human interaction with objects, in place of people. Design Incubation Center's Roly Poly eggs come in a set of pairs. Each egg can be placed in different locations. When a person at one location taps their egg, the second egg mimics the movement created. Thus, two people, although separated, can sense each other through the responsive movement of an object.
With GPS tracking in our cars and on our phones, we no longer have to rely on stopping and asking a stranger for directions. Taiwanese designer Che-Wei Wang and American Kristin O'Friel thought there was something missed by relying on a software program rather than a person. Their Momo devices ads an animate and cozy quality to finding one's way. The internal GPS system is programmed for the final destination. Looking much like a stuffed animal and clad in crocheted yarn (complete with ears), the Momo gently leans in the direction or turn to be made next. No robotic voice telling them where to go, the user relies on the gentle nudge of a friend to get them where they want to go.
Be sure to look out for our upcoming exclusive video interview with Paola in the coming weeks.

Ibex Merino Woolies Base Layers for men and women

Comments about Ibex Woolies Short Sleeve Men's Crew:
I have heard about the benefits of wool vs man made fabrics for years and was skeptical as I fell for the "quick-drying-anti-microbrial-no-smell" marketing hype of all the different polyester blends. But this stuff is true. No funk after 3hour+ sweaty rides in 25-30 C degree days.
I love these shirts. They are form fitting, even in XL but they are not uncomfortable at all. If you don't get them on sale, they can be expensive also. Still worth the money. I got rid of all my other short sleeve dry-fit/polyester riding shirts and am only wearing merino wool from now on.

Fill your home with life, thanks to potted plants
HGTVREMODELS.COM / Sarah Dorio
This bathroom by Brian Patrick Flynn shows the designer's use of maidenhair ferns in dark spaces which receive little or no direct sunlight.
Brian Patrick Flynn / Mali Azima
Brian Patrick Flynn suggests grouping fruits in clear glass vessels, such as apothecary jars, as an alternative to greenery.
HGTVREMODELS.COM / Sarah Dorio
Flynn incorporated life into this home office with a pair of fiddle leaf ficus trees and a large fern. Flynn recommends ferns to homeowners interested in plants with little to no maintenance.
HGTVREMODELS.COM / Sarah Dorio
Flynn is a fan of the fiddle leaf fig tree which he claims is, "architectural, gender-neutral and a great source for adding graphic shape to a space."
"Designer spaces pretty much always include some element of life," said interior designer Brian Patrick Flynn, founder of decordemon.com. "The most common way to add life is with potted plants and trees."
We've asked Flynn, California-based interior designer Molly Luetkemeyer and Betsy Burnham of Burnham Design in Los Angeles for advice on choosing the right plants, potting them perfectly and keeping them blooming with minimal effort.
Where to start?
"Talking to someone at a nursery is a really good idea," said Burnham, because employees at garden stores and plant nurseries are usually glad to answer questions about choosing and caring for plants.
You can choose plants based on the spot in your home where you'd like to keep them (sundrenched windowsills, shady corners). Or you can select a plant you love and then ask for advice on where to put it.
"I'm only interested in plants and trees that are low-maintenance," Flynn said. "Give me something that requires daily care and/or delicate grooming, and it's most likely to go from green to brown or black in less than 72 hours."
Fabulous ferns
All three designers like ferns, such as the maidenhair. "They're so delicate and soft," Luetkemeyer said. "and they're that pale green that's the beginning green of spring."
Maidenhairs are fairly easy to care for: "They need to be watered," she said, "but if you water them, they hang around."
If you want something larger and bolder than the delicate maidenhair, Flynn suggests the staghorn fern. Just remember that all ferns do best in shade rather than direct sunlight.
Flowering plants
Luetkemeyer recommends daffodils, narcissus and hyacinth. She also loves gardenia plants for their heady fragrance and shiny leaves. But they do require a bit of effort.
"Any plant that's a woody plant, with a wood that's exposed, is going to be a little bit trickier," she said. Consider researching gardenias online to learn how much water and how much light your plant will need.
Potted trees
"A statement tree," said Burnham, "adds height to your room, and plays with the light at a window."
Flynn suggests fig trees: "Fiddle leaf fig trees are, hands down, my favorite," he said. "They're super architectural and almost kind of minimalist. Since these grow straight upwards, they're perfect for corners or flanking a fireplace or focal point without growing out and over it.
"The key to using them successfully is ensuring they don't come into contact with direct light, and that they're not exposed to dry heat," Flynn said.
Countertop herbs
Many grocery stores and nurseries sell herb plants such as mint or basil that are already blooming in small plastic pots. You can repot them into more attractive containers, then cluster several together on a countertop.
Perfect potting
"What you plant something in makes just as much of a statement as the tree or plant itself," Burnham said.
One simple approach is to "put the plant into a fabulous low basket and cover it with reindeer moss," Burnham said. "You don't see the soil, and don't see the plastic container inside."
Luetkemeyer agrees that it's worth taking time to choose the right pots: "A pot is sort of like the frame on the piece of art. It sets the tone."

As Im sure youve noticed a LOT of things have changed on the board. There are a TON of new and fun features for you to use under your User Control Panel (UCP) which is located at the TOP, LEFT side of the Board Index page. I wanted to walk you guys through a couple small items to make sure we are all on the same page.
David Bowie once sung Time may change me but I cant change time That classic song may have NEVER been written if Mr. Bowie had used our message board. If you want your TIME to be correct on the message board you simply go to the UCP and click on the Board Preferences tab. From there youll scroll down to My timezone which has a drop-down tab to the right of it. Simply change that to your proper timezone (UTC-5 Eastern Standard Time for those NEAR Louisville). THEN directly below that is the Summer Time/DST is in effect prompt. This is a function to turn on the daylight saving time function. Select Yes or No depending on if your area is currently in daylight savings time or not. You will currently select "NO" until after DST. AFTER DST begins you will need to select "YES"!
Also something fun while youre in the UCP click on the Profile tab and scroll to the bottom of the page and enter your date of birth. This will allow those online to know when your birthday is and maybe send you a nice birthday message.
I hope everyone is enjoying the new board. If youre having ANY troubles what so ever please let me know.
