We have been assured that he is taking steps to address the issues that led to the incident, and that those efforts will continue. We have also been assured that he will work hard both on and off the field to regain the trust of the organization, Mets fans and the community."So basically the Mets get to keep 3.1M and Krod. Hopefully his legal troubles are solved quickly and he can come back and continue to be the best pitcher in the Mets pen.

The Man High School football team put itself into Class A playoff contention in a remarkably short amount of time with Friday night's thrilling 32-26 win in overtime over Class AAA county rival Logan on Friday night at Logan Stadium in the season opener for both schools.
Man not only snapped a four-game losing skid to the Wildcats, it also grabbed 12 points in the WVSSAC playoff system — or the equivalent of two wins over Class A teams — with the victory over the Triple-A Wildcats.
The Hillbillies (1-0) won the game in OT with Mikle Scott-Rowe's 9-yard touchdown run which broke a 26-all tie.
Man had jumped out to a seemingly insurmountable 26-14 lead with 6:34 left in the game as QB John Thomas Keffer scored on a 1-yard touchdown sneak.
But on the ensuing kickoff, Logan's Matt Cox got the Wildcats (0-1) back into the game with an electrifying 70-yard return for a touchdown to make it 26-20 with 6:23 to go.
Man was pinned deep on its next drive and had to punt out of its own end zone. After a short 27-yard punt, Logan took over on the Billies' 35-yard line.
Eight plays later, Logan quarterback Ryan Miller scored on a 7-yard run on a fourth-and-goal play to tie the game 26-26 with 33.3 ticks to go.
Logan had a chance to potentially win the game on the extra point kick but Jacob Browning's boot sailed wide left.
Man took over on its own 34 and after two plays regulation time ran out and the game went to overtime.
The Billies won the coin flip and opted to go on defense first in OT.
Man's defense rose to the challenge by stopping Logan on its overtime drive from the Man 20-yard line.
The Billies then won it on the sixth play of their drive with the Rowe touchdown run.
Logan went up 7-0 early in the first quarter on a gadget play as Miller hit Zac Acord on a pass and Acord then pitched to Cox for a 34-yard hook-and-lateral touchdown.
Man then went to its ground game and bruising running back Neil Mullins, the Lions Club Bowl Most Valuable Player. Rowe cut the Logan lead to 7-6 with a 1-yard TD run with 4:41 left in the opening quarter. The two-point conversion failed.
The Hillbillies took the lead, 14-7, with 9:22 left until halftime as Keffer scored on a 1-yard QB plunge and then leaped into the end zone on a the two-point conversion play.
Logan was pinned deep on its next drive and Man made them pay as Miller, who took heavy pressure from Jake Adkins in the end zone, tried to shovel pass the ball out. It was a huge turn of events and a big mistake for Logan as Miller was picked off by Nick Collins at the 2-yard line and then went into the end zone for a TD to make it 20-7 Man with 8:56 to go until the half.
Logan trimmed the deficit to 20-14 at the 11-minute mark of the third quarter as Miller fired a 14-yard TD pass to Cox, who had three scores on the night.
Man later got the ball back after a Logan fumble on its own 20-yard line. Keffer then scored from 1 yard out on the very next play. The touchdown was set up by a bulldozing 19-yard run to the 1 by Mullins.
For the Billies it was their first win over the Cats since 2009. That was the year Man reached the Wheeling Super Six and finished with a 12-2 record.
Man is coming off last year's 9-2 home playoff season and are poised to put together another successful year on the gridiron.
Both teams are set to get back into action next week at home as both the Wildcats and Hillbillies will be hosting Hall of Fame games.
Logan hosts Shady Spring (0-1) while Man is set to host Mount View (0-1).

PH urges North Korea to scrap planned rocket launch
More News from Fat Reyes
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – The Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) on Monday said that though it had yet to receive formal notification of North Korea's planned rocket launch this month, it was urging the country to abort its plan.
"We strongly urge North Korea not to proceed with its planned launch and abide by United Nations (UN) Security Council resolutions which called for the abandonment of its ballistic missile program in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner," DFA spokesperson Assistant Secretary Raul Hernandez said in a press briefing.
Earlier reports noted that the Korean Committee for Space Technology, in a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, said it planned to launch a working satellite after experts had studied mistakes made during a failed rocket launch in April. The news agency noted that the launch of the long-range rocket was scheduled between December 10 and 22.
Hernandez said the DFA had yet to receive information from the embassy in Beijing or the country's resident ambassador in Bangkok regarding the issue.
An earlier report by Agence France Presse noted that the UN Security Council last week had warned North Korea against the launch after speculations that it was preparing for a new missile test.
It said that In April, North Korea failed with a much-hyped launch of an Unha-3 rocket that Pyongyang also said was aimed at placing a satellite in orbit. With reports from AFP

Pune: It has been months since software professional Ronald Parkhey (32) took his car to work. Constantly shifting gears and getting stuck in traffic jams for nearly 30 minutes to cross a mere 2.5-km stretch on the Magarpatta City road to reach his house in Wadgaonsheri is not something that the Mphasis employee fancies doing after an entire day at work.
"It's a nightmare to travel on this route in the evening hour. I am so fed up of the traffic snarls that I have started taking the office cab for drops even if it means a waiting period. It's better to wait than to get frustrated by merely shifting gears and constantly braking in traffic jams on this road. The problem is roads are narrow and it becomes worse as people often park illegally on this stretch," he said.
He isn't alone in this sentiment. Ask the software techies who regularly commute on this route back and forth from workplaces and evening traffic on the Magarpatta City-Mundhwa Road is something that will rank topmost on the most 'put-off' factors for working in this area. Few who still wish to drive to work have to allot an extra hour in a day to their working hours - those spent in combating traffic snarls.
Vimannagar resident Shipra Jha, IT professional working at WNS in Magarpatta City, said, "I have to leave home in advance as I know that there is no escape from the traffic menace and even while getting home I get tired due to traffic jams."
Manas Verma, an IT professional working at EXL in Magarpatta City, said, "There is no solution for this till the time the roads are widened or else they make alternative routes available for travel."
Meanwhile, in a bid to decongest the traffic snarl for thousands of IT professionals working in Magarpatta City, the city traffic police have closed the punctures at eight out of 13 spots on 2.3 km stretch on the road. Besides, the city traffic department have banned heavy vehicles plying on the Pune-Ahmednagar bypass which connects Hadapsar with Mundhwa and Kharadi, during the peak hours of the day.
However, the issue of traffic snarls in the area is far from getting resolved. With shopping malls that have come up in the area, traffic in the area is going from bad to worse. Things get worse during the peak hours as most of the IT sector employees commute during that time due to which the vehicles get stranded in the traffic for more than 40 minutes. The traffic police claims that this route witnesses the heaviest traffic in-flow after Hinjewadi.
Deputy commissioner of police (traffic), Vishwas Pandhare said, "After closing the open puncture, the traffic flow in the area has been channelised as people are not able to jump lanes. However, the issue of peak-time traffic snarls remain a major concern due to traffic bottlenecks created by narrow lanes coupled with a heavy flow of private vehicles, corporate drops and even buses clogging the route in the evening. Hence, we have sent a letter to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), requesting them to go in for road-width expansion."
Pandhare added, "Till the time the roads are not widened, the issue will not get resolved. We have tried several experiments here but not received any positive results yet."
Asked on why the traffic department hasn't even taken simple steps like installing a traffic signal on the entire 2.5-km stretch, Pandhare pinned his hopes on road widening.
"If we install a traffic signal or post and then during road widening it is moved, then it will lead to doubling of work. We have already submitted our proposal and are expecting it to bear fruition since it is pending for long time," added Pandhare. Ask the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) on its plan to decongest this busy road and they say, the proposal is part of the latest Development Plan (DP) and is awaiting final nod.
PMC's additional city engineer (roads) Pramod Nirbhavane, said, "Considering the traffic congestion on this stretch, we are planning to increase the width of the road from 16 metres to 30 metres. Once the proposal is approved in the final DP, we will start the procedure of land acquisition."
Alternative routes
People going towards Koregaon Park can take Hadapsar railway station route.
IT professionals working in Magarpatta City can also take North Gate which leads to Ghorpadi and Koregaon Park. By the end of next month, a new road will connect Magarptta City to Koregaon Park.
IT professionals coming from Pune-Solapur Highway can take a right turn before Hero Honda showroom at Vega Centre, the straight road leads to the Magarpatta City North gate

Asked what he thought about the Penguins tactics by sitting Sidney Crosby Sunday, Murray stated what I thought.
"I knew what was going on," said Murray. "You guys all know they wanted to play Ottawa. That's fine. That was fairly obvious from the drop of the puck."

Smart move in my opinion by the Pens. Better to have Sid as close to 100% for the first game of the playoffs and he does need rest.

In Other Words- No Head Hunting

from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,
Given the combative nature of his team's rivalry with the Philadelphia Flyers this season, Penguins coach Michel Therrien urged referees working Sunday's regular-season finale not to swallow their whistles.
"We want to make sure that the referees and the league will call the right penalties," Therrien said Friday. "You saw a game (Thursday), Toronto-Ottawa, (Senators captain Daniel) Alfredsson got hit to the head. You don't want to see those types of things happen just before the playoffs. You have a team that's out of the playoffs (Toronto) and has nothing to lose."

Pens May Be The Best In The East
by Paul on 04/03/08 at 08:16 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Scott Morrison of Viewpoint at CBC,
The Pittsburgh Penguins are for real. Very much for real, actually.
And in a conference in which any of the eight teams that ultimately make the playoffs have a reasonably good chance of going all the way to the final - where they will lose to the Western Conference winner, of course - there are signs that perhaps the Penguins are just a little better than the rest.
Now, that isn't entirely born out statistically, given they are tied with the Montreal Canadiens for first overall and have been playing at roughly the same clip for the past dozen or so games.

Battle For Top Spot In The Eastt
by Paul on 04/02/08 at 01:25 PM ET

from Pat Hickey of the Montreal Gazette,
The Canadiens and the Penguins are tied atop the Eastern Conference with 100 points each and Montreal has only one chance of moving up to the top spot and that's by finishing with more points in the standings.
With each team having two games to play, the Penguins hold the tiebreaker, because they have one more victory.
But Christopher Higgins said he's excited about the possibility of winning the conference because "you don't get too many chances to do that in your career. I think the last time I finished first was in my junior years in high school."

from Darren Dreger of TSN,
Let's face it, while we've seen some spectacular goals in Crosby's 3 seasons in the NHL, goal scoring doesn't come easily for this young phenom.
He's incredibly strong on the puck and loves to battle physically.
One on one, he's hard to beat.
Among the leagues great playmakers, he might be the greatest.
However, when it comes to scoring goals, Crosby isn't great…he's good.

Between The Benches - In The Action
by Paul on 03/31/08 at 10:10 AM ET

from Chris Zelkovich of the Toronto Star,
When the first TV producer decided to place a hockey analyst between the benches a few years back, the idea looked like it might end up high on the pointless ideas list, just behind the infamous glowing puck….
But this idea, used to great advantage by TSN and NBC, is proving to be one of the best broadcasting innovations since the advent of the second camera.
It was on display during yesterday's Pittsburgh-New York Rangers game on NBC, with Pierre McGuire stationed between the benches and providing viewers with the kind of insights that only someone in that position could get.
Throughout the game, McGuire told viewers how the coaches were rotating their lines and even what players were saying to each other. When New York coach Tom Renney chastised his players for passing too much and not shooting enough, McGuire passed that on, too.

Acting Class

from John Dellapina at the Blueshirts Blog,
...That said, what I don't get is how the hard-working and utterly honest men who referee NHL games can repeatedly be duped by the same maneuver - you know, that fling back of the head in mock horror in reaction to an opponent's stick that didn't come close to striking it. Like, say, the tap to the hip that Scott Gomez gave Crosby, drawing that head flop and a high-sticking penalty in today's third period.
But even more mystifying is how Jaromir Jagr could have begun his career in Pittsburgh, developed into a superstar here and never learned the diving and face-clutching and horrified equipment shedding that has been part and parcel of Pens hockey ever since Mario Lemieux decided to shame the league into enforcing its obstruction penalties by embarrassing all officials who didn't do so.

from Jim Matheson of the Edmonton Journal,
Nicklas Lidstrom is going to win his sixth Norris trophy, but Sergei Gonchar may finish in the top three. The Penguins defenceman has been maligned for years for his play away from the puck, but this year he's been very good. He might deserve more praise than Zdeno Chara in Boston, or Brian Campbell before he was traded from Buffalo to San Jose. "He matches up against the other team's best players every night. I think his game has gone to another level there," said Penguins GM Ray Shero

Redundancy while off sick(63 Posts)
I've been off sick with work related stress for 6 months and have had a letter telling me that there are going to be redundancies at work. There are 20 of us and the council are cutting us down to 14. We have all got to apply for our jobs and 14 of us will be appointed. I've been given a skills matching form to fill in. I'm off sick, can they make me redundant? What happens if I'm not well enough to go back to work if I'm appointed? Can I stay off sick? Thanks
can i be made redundant when sick even if i have a excellent work record until now.this is my 1st time i have been off sick for more than a day or 2 in my life, I have been off now for about 8 weeks and could be off for a couple more at most. I have been asked to attend a meeting as the company has resurrected since i have been off work.
Sector ( pest I phone)
Could only happen in the public sector Sorry if that sounds harsh.
And I know it's only a minority etc but still OP wouldn't last 5 mins in the private sectir
From this thread - she's in UNISON, so may be a teaching assistant (as teachers are normally in the various teachers' unions).
I really hope my kids never have a teacher even marginally as crap as you sound, op
From another thread which is know is bad form but couldn't help myself:
"why is he so late home. I teach secondary adn have a 20 minute drive plus 2 kids to pick up and I'm home for 4 "
So she is a teacher (and fwiw I don't know any teacher who is home before 5).
If the points are awarded for:
Excuse making
Skiving ability
and ego
then I'm sure you will have the most points and keep your job, if not I'd pray for a miraculous recovery and start job hunting. Or seek out a solicitor specialising in unfair dipmissial as I'm sure this is what you'll argue
If this is real, you need to consider applying for voluntary redundancy. You have been off six months, so will be about to move down to half-pay. You will only get six-months on half-pay. Your employer will be moving to dismiss you on health grounds during this time. I would be very surprised if they haven't already considered this. I would also be surprised if there wasn't a weighting for sickness absence on the redundancy procedure. Having more experience and qualifications is not guaranteed to gain you the most points. There may well also be a weighting for performance appraisals. Given your attitude towards your boss and your job, it is fairly likely they will attempt to use redundancy to get rid of you.
What are your current plans for returning to work?
as a criterion not as a criteria..
I would be surprised if the OP hasnt been told what criteria will be used to select people, if she's had to fill in a skills match form and has been told everyone will have to apply for their jobs.
OP if you genuinely haven't been told whether attendance will be used as a criteria, then get your union rep to ask. In answer to your question about can you stay off sick if you get appointed to one of the roles, then yes you can.
I agree with others that redundancy or no redundancy, you would have been dismissed for capability by now in many many organisations.
The OP does not say that she is a teacher, just that she works in public services.
But her attitude still stinks of blatantly exploiting the situation.
I cannot believe the OPs sense of entitlement - I work in HR in the private sector and her poor attitude would be strongly weighted in our redundancy criteria to ensure she stopped taking the mick.
If you can't cope with your job get a new one and if you really are a teacher imparting knowledge to a future generation I am flabbergasted that this was too stressful for yet you were able to complete studies for your own betterment. Really rather selfish.
I have 2 people off with long term stress in my business now and we are doing everything we can to support a return to work but they are showing a clear desire to make it work- you op are not.
In answer to you question though yes you can be made redundant and if you were in
my business you would be top of the list to go.
Ffs - this is why it needs to be made easier to sack people. And WE are all paying your salary while you swan about and finish your degree? Christ almighty...
"Never understood being off with stress, if you can't cope with your job you leave and get a different job, well that what happens in the private sector"
Hang on a sec. Not everyOne off with stress is taking the Mick. While the OP here does appear to have a very entitled stance, and this particular case seems far fetched, there are genuine cases! You can't just leave a job and get another when you suffer from stress!
In a recent round of redundancies at my work, absence was one of the criteria (criterion?) taken into account.
And as the parent of a child whose maths teacher was off for most of his Higher year, I agree with others who say that you should look for something more suitable.
My ds teacher last year managed to be off sick for three years, she would come in for 2 weeks at the beginning of term then not be seen again for the next year. Really upset my ds at the time having stand in teachers. She finally resigned this year so can't screw up any more kids education.
Never understood being off with stress, if you can't cope with your job you leave and get a different job, well that what happens in the private sector. Is it easier to take the mickey in the public sector?
I can't believe this thread is real. The sense of entitlement astounds me. I am frankly gobsmacked. But the fact so many posters are answering sensibly indicates this type of situation is pretty common.
I would be dismissing you on grounds of capability. In my Co your sick pay would have expired and unless I had occ health advice saying you were fit to return soon you would be going.
Businesses are not a charity.
So, you were off work with work related stress for 3 months because you couldn't cope with your job.
Your boss arranged it so you had less responsibility for the same money , you tied this for one day and went off sick again because you wanted the job and all the responsibility you couldn't cope with...?
You managed to complete your degree whilst off sick?
Basically, you may be the most "qualified" but if you can't do the job why should they pay you to do nothing and make someone else redundant?
No one wants to lose their job but you are the one least able to do their job so it doesn't look good.
Also, the additional degree won't add anything, as in a state school it is QTS that counts and you appear not to have been at work for long enough since acquiring it for you to be able to demonstrate that it has made any difference to your performance.
As it is reapplication for the posts, then you need to look at the form as a job application from scratch, your belief that you are in particular more experienced will be scrutinised. This is not a synonym for "longer in post", so it is type and extent of experience and how it is relevant to the current job description that counts. And indeed recent experience may well be the most valued.
Well if it's teaching then your experience definitely won't save you on its own. More recently qualified teachers can be said to bring more up to date knowledge of methods and techniques.
Are you actually sick now OP or do you just not want to work with your boss anymore?
Oh and just to confirm, from my own experience while being in a genuine situation of illegality by my former employer that I had to take legal action on, sickness doesn't protect you from redundancy. Being off sick won't help your situation and may complicate it in fact because if you are selected for redundancy, you won't be available for interviews regarding mitigation of the redundancy e.g. interviews for alternative roles.
Unfortunately, for the skeptics on this thread, the OP being off for six months on full pay wouldn't be unusual at all in the public sector.
I worked in a university and staff were entitled to six months' sick leave on full pay and six months' half-pay, so effectively 9 months' full pay. There were an unusual number of people off sick with stress. A couple of them even came back for a few weeks to give a new arrangement a try and then went off sick again.
For the OP, you need to find out what the selection criteria for the redundancy process is. It's pretty common for employers, in both private and public sectors, to manage the selection criteria precisely so they can get rid of difficult employees. With your attitude, you shouldn't be too surprised if your employer takes this approach and uses attendance record as the basis for the selection.
Either way, if you hate your job and your boss that much, you'd be better off finding a new job rather than sulking over what happened in the past.
This has to be a wind up.

BOISE -- General Motors fired 15 people and disciplined others after an internal investigation on the delayed recall of faulty ignition switches led to at least 13 deaths.
GM is hoping to repair all of the cars it has recalled by October, and it's also beginning a victim's compensation program
An Idaho mom is one of the families missing a loved one after a crash in one of the recalled vehicles. Rosie Cortinas' son, Amador Cortinas, died last October driving a 2005 Chevy Cobalt, just a couple miles from his home in Homedale. He was the designated driver for his friend Daniel Valadez, who owned the car.
He hit head-on with an oncoming vehicle, he and his passenger were both killed on impact, said Rosie Cortinas.
The driver of the car Amador hit survived, but was injured, however Amador and his friend both died on the scene.
Rosie Cortinas said authorities ruled out alcohol or phone use as the cause of the accident. Her family was thinking that perhaps Amador fell asleep behind the wheel. A few months later, Rosie Cortinas got a call from a Maryland mom. The woman found out about Amador's accident online and contacted Rosie Cortinas to tell her that her daughter died in a similar crash, also in a Chevy Cobalt.
I believe that she was just put there, and it was meant to be because by the following Monday, the recall came out on television, Cortinas said.
Rosie Cortinas said it clicked, the details of her son's accident matched other stories of crashes due to GM's faulty ignition switch. She went to Washington, D.C. and spoke to GM CEO Mary Barra, along with several other families who lost loved ones in GM vehicles that are part of the recall.
She was just very generic towards all of us, said Rosie Cortinas about her interaction with Barra. I don't think she realizes how hard it is to lose a loved one, and even more a young daughter or son that's full of life.
Of the several families that went to Washington, D.C., Rosie Cortinas was the only one from Idaho.
I was proud to do it, she said. It was very painful; it just was so painful to talk about my son, as it is now. But you know, amongst everything I knew, I had to do something because I was the voice for my son and all these others. So I was proud to do that and to be able to represent even the state of Idaho.
Rosie Cortinas says no amount of money will fill the hole left by her son.
I haven't gone a day since he passed away not thinking about him and not wanting him back, she said.
She wants GM to do more.
They're just treating them as statistics, as a number and a file number, and our loved ones are not just numbers, they're human beings, they're lives just like everyone else's, said Rosie Cortinas. To lose someone, there's no number that can ever take the place of a loved one.
Rosie Cortinas said her son's death is not in vain if raising awareness about this recall can help save other lives.
He had a dream, and his story had just begun and these people, this corporation, just took their lives away because they could have prevented all of this, she said. It would have cost them a few cents to fix these, the repair on these ignition switches and they didn't do it.
Rosie Cortinas is bilingual and says GM should do more the get the word out about the recall, in different languages and for the hearing impaired.
She stays in touch with the other families she went to Washington, D.C. with, and they're planning a trip to Detroit for the shareholders' meeting, which is scheduled for June 10.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 46 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by momof2 So Pleased Purchased these cleats online for my tiny 3 year old who is abbot to start soccer. She only wears a size 7 toddler so we ordered the smallest size(8). They fit perfectly with her shin guards and soccer socks. Even without the thick stocks they form well to the foot and will not slide off without being untied. I also like that the cleat protrusions are a hard rubber instead of plastic so they are not as slick on hard surfaces like cleats were when I was a kid. My daughter loves them and wants to wear them all the time. We purchased them as a part of the start up kit with the matching ball a and shin guards and they are all so cute and the best price I was able to find. Plus they arrived in 3 days from when I placed my order. I couldn't be more pleased with this purchase. August 10, 2013

Following His Own Path
By Terry Rombeck, Journal-World, Lawrence, Kan.
Jun. 23–There were times, when Paul Tucker was at the control of jets thousands of feet above the earth, that his mind would wander to music.
"I'd be at 23,000 feet in cruise in a (Cessna) Citation or a Lear, thinking about music," Tucker says. "I was planning musical things."
Sometimes, life's journey takes you on some detours. And sometimes those journeys are thousands of feet above ground.
That's the way it's been for Tucker, who recently was named choir director at Kansas University, after four years as associate director. Tucker, 52, grew up playing music in Jamaica and was a budding concert pianist, but just now is coming into his prime as a career music educator.
"I think music chose me," he says. "I didn't choose it."
Early harmonies
Tucker and his twin brother, Stephen — two of six children — were inseparable as they learned music in their hometown of Kingston, Jamaica.
"Based on what I've been told by my oldest sisters and my mother, we were making music as early as they can remember," Stephen Tucker says. "We were singing and playing harmonicas together. We'd be lying there and either singing or playing, harmonizing together."
They were singing at church around the age of 5. They would sit at the piano together, working out chords and tunes on their own without any formal training. And they would tape orchestral concerts and transcribe the piano parts onto paper so they would be able to recreate them.
They had two years of piano lessons starting at age 12 but then stopped. They also sang in an amateur male vocal quartet in their teens.
And they were studying with Kaestner Robertson, a renowned piano instructor there.
But that came to a sudden halt at age 17, when they came home one day to find their father dead of an aneurysm. Their mother and sisters, who already had moved to New York in a long-term family transition, made them relocate to the United States.
"It was all set," Paul Tucker says of the duo's career in music. "Everything seemed like it would just disappear."
Leaving home
In New York, Tucker spent six months working at Montgomery Ward. Eventually, he and his brother — having already finished high school in their home country — realized they had to return there to continue their music education with Robertson.
They left home without their mother's permission.
"Somewhere deep inside, we knew we had to do this," says Stephen Tucker, now orchestra director at the University of California-Irvine. "It was painful in the sense that we had to defy her. It was really traumatic. There were a lot of tears and anger. But I think it was the best decision we ever made."
They studied an additional four years in Jamaica, also teaching and performing on the side.
That was when Paul Tucker decided to take that detour.
Flying high
It came in the way of a flier brought by a music student from the local Army base.
The sheet of paper listed the requirements to take flight lessons and become a pilot. Tucker figured he fit most of them, so he went down to the base to inquire.
Long story short, he got his pilot's license. He moved to California and spent the next seven years as both a flight instructor and commercial pilot, flying private jets for several companies.
All the while, he kept his music going, setting up a recording studio in his home and producing recordings.
Eventually, he ended up as a pilot in Dallas, where he also established the Paradigm Vocal Ensemble to keep his musical interests going (it's a group he continues to direct today). It was there that he got a phone call from someone affiliated with a local high school, wondering if he would replace a recently fired choir teacher.
For some reason, he agreed, and that started him back into the world of music. He soon quit his teaching job and went to school at the University of Texas-Arlington, earning bachelor's of music. He went on to receive his doctorate of music at the University of North Texas. After receiving his doctorate, he came to KU.
Stephen Tucker says this of learning his twin decided to pursue a full-time music career: "I didn't even flinch. I knew it was going to happen anyway. Maybe it was because I knew music meant that much to him."
'Right guy'
As KU's new choir director, Paul Tucker replaces John Paul Johnson, who was named director of the School of Music at Wichita State University.
Tucker, whose specialty is instruction in choral conducting, says his plans for the program include creating a standardized conducting methodology for graduate teaching assistants (who conduct many of the program's eight choirs) and making the annual Holiday Vespers concert, a long-standing tradition that draws thousands to the Lied Center, a "more dynamic" performance.
After Johnson left KU, Larry Mallett, chairman of the department of music and dance, says had several KU faculty members — unsolicited — walk into his office recommending he hire Tucker for the director job.
"We just said, 'We have the right guy here. Let's do it,'" Mallett says.
He says even many of KU's music faculty members might not know Tucker's diversified background.
"Paul is well-qualified," Mallett says. "He's come a different way — his path has been different. But maybe that makes him better at what he does."
Tucker says he loves teaching music more than anything — even teaching students how to fly. He also thinks his wavy path to this job makes him realize how much he wants to succeed.
"When you're young, you chase — you chase around without knowing this is what is in front of you," he says. "In my case, I recognize I've seen all these things, but there's no doubt in my mind what I should be doing.
"I did come full-circle, but I needed to take that path."

Congress, BJP, former Lok Sabha speaker PA Sangma's National Peoples Party, regional party United Democratic Party (UDP) besides independents supported by small regional parties will fight it out in a multi-cornered contest in Shillong and Tura seats. Sangma, who has won the Tura seat eight out of ten times, is pitted in a straight fight against Congress candidate Daryl Momin for the seat.
In Shillong a total eight contestants are in the fray, including the sitting Congress MP Vincent Pala, UDP candidate former student leader Paul Lyngdoh, BJP nominee Shibun Lyngdoh besides church leader P B M Basaiawmoit, who is fighting as an independnent. Congress has won Shillong seat seven times between 1977 and 2009, with an unbroken stint in the seat since 1996.
Of the 15,53,028-strong electorate, 7,83,270 are women and outnumber men by 13,512. There are 343 sensitive polling booths out of 2,562, of which 85 per cent are in the militant-hit Garo Hills region and classified as hyper sensitive.

Additional forces have been deployed and the BSF has closed the 443 km-long Indo-Bangla international border. Governor K K Paul has already cast his vote at a polling booth here.

How many opinions of Justice Thomas have you read?
I have read many of the court decisions handed down under the current court and from over the years. You cannot get through a Constitutional Law class without doing so.
Thomas rarely writes the majority or dissenting opinion, and it would seem that this is because he is not intellectually up to the task. I cannot think of any other reason. I am not lying when I tell you that when he does take the time to write, the opinions are usually very short and basically concur with Scalia and he throws in a point or so he wants to make. With all due respect, he is an idiot.
Puffy makes a wonderful observation about Scalia - sometimes he writes brilliantly, but even extravagantly dressed crap is, well, crap.
Read his dissent in the Texas sodomy case and count the fallacies.

Bangalore man clinches Guinness record.
SPELLING the word "Hippopo-tomonstrosesquipedaliophobia" could stump many, but not 25-year-old Guinness Book record holder Shishir Hathwar, who can not only do it without batting an eyelid but in reverse order as well.
It is not just this word (which means fear of long words) but a number of others including "grotesqueness" which he can rattle off.
Bangalore-based Hatwar, an electronics engineer in BHEL, clinched the world record last week for the "fastest backwards spelling of 50 words" in one minute 22.53 seconds, beating the record of Job Pottas from Kerala who clocked one minute 40.14 seconds in March last year.
The earlier record was held by Deborah Prebble from Britain (two minutes 21 seconds).
Shishir won by a comfortable margin of over 17 seconds when he spelt 50 randomly chosen words, including 20 six-letter words,
15-seven letter words and 15-eight letter words.
The time included that taken by a person to read out the words and spell it backwards. "I took just 1.6 seconds per word including the time taken to read out the word", said Shishir, who was asked to spell out words chosen from a variety of fields, including literature, arts and science.
The words he spelt out backwards during the event included "desolate", "lavish", "pharynx", "excavate" and "fragrant".
A voracious reader, Shishir attributes his success to the environment provided by his parents, his reading habit and out-of-the-box thinking.
Honing visualisation techniques to an extreme degree also aided in training his mind to achieve the goal.
Asked how he felt about the record, he said: "Exultant, considering that English is not my mother tongue." Shishir can also read and write Kannada, Hindi and Sanskrit and speak Tulu.
It was a YouTube clip of Pottas breaking the record that got him started on the idea he could attempt a similar feat.
Shishir said he also reads books by Thomas Hardy, George Eliot, Charles Dickens and Bertrand Russell. Apart from reading, he revels in outdoor activities like trekking and swimming. He completed a 21.1km half marathon in December 2005 in 98 minutes.
He disapproved of the current SMS lingo and short spellings, saying, "It is mutilating the sublime beauty of language."
Asked about the most mis-spelt words, Shishir said: "It is words where 'i' is contiguous with 'e' like shriek, receive".
Shishir's advice to the young who struggle with spelling was to "Take to reading instead of video gaming".
Shishir said he was aware of his talent to spell backwards at a young age and held several speechless when he spelt words backwards as well as six-word sentences.
Not content with the laurels won, the spelling champion was now out to conquer new records like speaking three-syllable words backwards and being able to spell the maximum number of words backwards in a minute.
The son of Dr Ramamurthy, a senior scientist at the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, Shishir said spellings have never flummoxed him and there is no spelling which can leave him tongue-tied.
He spells words incredibly and rattles off the 45-lettered longest word "Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosisin" in the English dictionary in a jiffy.
"Words like hippopotomons-trosesquipedaliophobia (35) and supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (34) are those I am capable of spelling or pronouncing either in the forward or backward direction," he said.
His amazing ability comes to the fore when he asks: "Where are you from?" – pronounced backwards as "Morf uoy era erehw".
"What is your name?" is again rattled off as "Eman ruoy si tahw".
His plans to break another record backwards would be a quite a skill test, he said.
"The record for the most words spoken backwards in one minute is 71 and was achieved by Nada Bojkovic (Sweden) at Nordstan Shopping Mall in Gothenburg, Sweden, on Nov 24, 2007. – Bernama

Adventurous visitors can test out their balance by taking a surfboard out into the waves and gliding along the crashing water as it churns its way to the shore.1281 North Ocean Drive Suite 118Riviera Beach, FL US
American Watersports Fort LauderdaleRead MoreFrothy seawater jumps skyward as the churn of high-powered, 110-horsepower jet skis launches the droplets from behind their watery tails. Among the many sea-gliding offerings of American Watersports, the company's fleet of speedy jet skis juxtaposes to its man-powered offerings of single or double kayaks and upright paddleboards that calmly cut through waves and wakes or assist in minnow herding along the coast. Groups can man 13- and 16-foot sailboats that await gentle offshore winds to start their journeys, or take in the ocean from a sandy perch with a day rental of beach furniture. The Pompano Beach area reveals its natural beauty on guided tours of the area via jet ski or paddleboat, wherein visitors take in local gems such as the Hillsboro Lighthouse or the area's exclusive hermit-crab resorts.615 N Ocean Blvd.Pompano Beach, FL US

War Emblem Battles On
The travails of War Emblem's stud career in Japan have been fairly well documented. Less realized, however, is that the results from his few representative runners have been extremely good, and that in 2008 he is already sire of three 3-year-old black type winners.
Showing an almost complete lack of interest in breeding, War Emblem sired only four foals in his first crop – born in 2004 – two of which have won races that are considered stakes in Japan, although they don't qualify for black type in U.S. catalogs. War Emblem did much better in his second season, getting 22 named foals, but that proved to be a false dawn, as he had no named foals in 2006, saw fit to cover only one mare that fall, failed to get her in foal, and didn't breed any mares at all in 2007.
Still, it is that second crop - foals of 2005 - that is making waves this year. Between Feb. 11 and March 22, three of War Emblem's foals captured black type events.

Letter: Bring back cameras
Edwina Hackett, Memphis
There have been many stories in recent weeks about the abuse and killing of animals at the Memphis Animal Shelter and elsewhere. It is imperative that this cruelty be dealt with swiftly and emphatically. Guilty individuals should serve real jail time.
Cameras at the shelter must be replaced immediately and monitored assiduously. Had these egregious abuses not taken place, this would possibly be a nonissue. However, public trust has been violated and the voiceless must be protected. Streets, hospitals, parking garages, — not to mention homes — have installed cameras to protect the community. We must do as much for our animal friends.

And of course, that episode shows that there are pro Vulcan activists on Romulus. Whilst it would be very lazy, even negligent, of the Romulan leaders to assume pro Romulan support on Vulcan, it is not that surprising when you consider the arrogance with which they are normally portrayed.
"Sir, can we be sure the Vulcans will support us?"
"Of course. They are a logical people. It is inevitable they will see the benefits of our way of life."

Raphael Tulino is the spokesman for the IRS in the Orange County/San Diego area, and he has volunteered to answer your tax questions:
Most people are not thinking much about taxes during the holidays. However, take a few moments and consider making some tax moves now and perhaps you'll save a few bucks – and some time – when you file in 2014.
Here are a few ideas to mull over before Jan. 1:
• Make charitable contributions. Make 2013 deductible charitable contributions on or before Dec. 31. If your goal is a legitimate tax deduction on your 2013 taxes, check out all the rules in IRS Publication 526.
• Check investments and consider a portfolio adjustment. Taxpayers can deduct capital losses up to the amount of capital gains plus $3,000.
• Contribute to a retirement account. The maximum 2013 IRA contribution is $5,500 ($6,500 if age 50 or older). The maximum contribution for a retirement plan such as a 401(k) is $17,500 ($23,000 if age 50 or older) Eligible taxpayers can also deduct IRA contributions.
• Get credit for retirement from the retirement savings contribution credit. This under-the-radar tax credit may be worth up to $2,000. It is available to eligible taxpayers who contribute to a retirement plan and whose income is generally less than $59,000.
• Consider a qualified charitable distribution. Age 70 1/2 or older? You can contribute up to $100,000 directly to a qualified charity and exclude it from income. The excluded amount can also satisfy any 2013 required minimum distribution.
• Gift giving. Taxpayers can give a gift worth as much as $14,000 in cash or property in 2013 to another person without having to file a gift tax return. Gifts to individuals are not deductible.
• Winterize now, save on taxes later. Homeowners installing energy-efficient improvements such as insulation, new windows or furnaces can claim a tax credit of up to $500. Going solar? The Residential Energy Efficient Property Credit is generally equal to 30 percent of the amount spent on qualifying property such as solar electric systems or solar hot water heaters.
• Save receipts and paperwork. Accurate recordkeeping provides a good reminder at tax time.
Also, several beneficial tax provisions are set to expire on Dec. 31. They include:
• The qualified charitable distribution as mentioned above
• The $4,000 tuition and fees deduction
• The (more generous) Section 179 deduction for small businesses

Effective July 14, 2014, the San Francisco Superior Court expanded its voluntary e-filing program to include the following 25 new types of civil cases:
These cases join the 16 other case types that were included in the court's January 2014 e-filing expansion. This most recent expansion means that now all civil case types are included in the court's voluntary e-filing program except unlawful detainer and small claims cases. (Note that asbestos, probate trust, and complex litigation cases are subject to mandatory e-filing.)
File & ServeXpress will continue to serve as an e-filing vendor, and the court has selected One Legal as an additional vendor.
The press release announcing the e-filing expansion can be found here. Details on the rules and procedures governing e-filing can be found in San Francisco Local Rule 2.10.

Filipino troops free kidnapped Chinese in clash
More News from Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines— Philippine security forces rescued a Chinese hostage and killed five suspected militants in a daylight raid on a terrorist training camp in the south, officials said Friday.
One of the country's most-wanted terrorist suspects, Khair Mundus, was wounded but managed to escape during Thursday's assault by police commandos on the Abu Sayyaf rebel hideout in Zamboanga city, said regional police director Apolio Estilles.
The freed hostage, Yuan Kai Lin, is the vice president for operations of the mining company Li-Lo Minerals Traders and is from Shenzhen. He was one of two Chinese businessmen kidnapped from a rented apartment last month by the al-Qaida-linked terror group. The other was released earlier.
The five men killed in the 20-minute firefight belonged to Mundus' terrorist cell, officials said.
The latest raid "exemplifies the government's unwavering commitment to crush the Abu Sayyaf and put an end to their kidnapping and terror activities," said senior security official Felizario Serapio Jr.
The U.S. Department of Justice has offered a $500,000 reward for information leading to Mundus' capture, describing him as a key leader and financier of the Abu Sayyaf. He was arrested in 2004 on the first-ever money laundering charges against terrorists in the Philippines. He confessed to having arranged the transfer of funds from al-Qaida to the Abu Sayyaf to be used in bombings throughout Mindanao, the southern region where minority Muslims have been fighting for self-rule in the predominantly Christian nation.
Mundus escaped from jail in 2007.
Thursday's raid, in which one Abu Sayyaf suspect was arrested, was based on intelligence that the group had set up a training camp in a secluded part of Zamboanga, a major port city that was targeted by militants in the past. Initial reports by police show the camp was used to hide kidnap victims and Abu Sayyaf members.
The Presidential Anti-Organized Crime Commission also took part in the raid.
Earlier Friday, the military said Abu Sayyaf fighters ambushed security guards and laborers from a rubber plantation on nearby Basilan Island, killing three men and wounding six others.
Training and intelligence-sharing by hundreds of U.S. forces and military advisers in the southern Philippines has resulted in the killing and capture of key Abu Sayyaf leaders, but about 400 militants remain active and are holding several foreigners hostage.

People are fascinated by names and their meanings - do you know how yours is affecting you? You soon will!
Here's what you will find out on this page:
If you found out that your name means 'hope' or 'joy' or 'brave one' how could you actually use that information?
The fact of the matter is, these simple name meanings may give you a brief good feeling if they are positive in some way, but that is all.
The information is of no practical use.
Don't worry though, your name DOES have in depth meanings that are not only fascinating, but also extremely useful and practical to you!
They can help you in all areas of your life. And they can all be revealed using the ancient system of Name Numerology.
You'll find out all about that, here, very soon!
Meanwhile you can get your personal free name meaning numerology reading emailed straight to you by a Master Numerologist.
click here
to request it.
It's a fascinating reading all about YOU - your personality, your love life, your path in life and more!
Names and their meanings can affect us on three different levels -
1. How a name sounds
2. It's origin of meaning and
3. It's numerological meaning.
Let's look at each in more detail...
Firstly we react to the sound and look of a name either in a positive or a negative way.
For instance the name Mother Teresa conjures up a very different feeling from the name Adolf Hitler doesn't it?
Leonardo DiCaprio will evoke a different response to Attila the Hun.
However that's partly because of our associations with the people who have that name and what we know about them.
If we look at names that are less well known, see how they make you feel:
Marcia Bratt, Cecil Simpkins, Ella Grace, Jack Coulton- Some names simply sound harsh don't they, while others sound soft.
Some sound weak, others sound strong.
"A good name is better than precious ointment" "A person with a bad name is already half-hanged" - Proverbs.
"A person with a bad name is already half-hanged" - Proverbs.
Discover what your name says about you with a Name Advice Reading - analyzes up to 8 full names
"What does my name say about me?"
Before we look at name origins and name numerology, here's another question for you:
Have you ever wanted to change your name?
If someone tells you their name you will react on some level to how the name sounds and that may cause you to make certain judgements about that person.
Perhaps that's why so many celebrities change their name.
They need the name to be memorable but also they want it to sound like the name of a movie star or a great singer and so on. They want the name to conjure up a certain image.
Imagine if Will.I.Am was just called William! It doesn't have the same 'power' does it? Prince William sounds great however because the 'Prince' part elevates the name to a whole new level!
Some names are just more forgettable than others and that's no good when you want casting directors and the like to remember you.
Some stars were born with great names, others made them!
Elvis Presley was born with his name, Elton John changed to his from Reg Dwight…Lady Gaga chose that name in preference to her birth name of Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta. I can see why!
Lady Gaga is short, different and highly memorable. Her birth name, not so much!
John Wayne changed from Marrion Morrison.
Just as well, I mean who can imagine a tough cowboy called Marrion?
Names and their meanings – the actual meaning of a name based on its origin.
This applies to surnames and obvious examples are names like Smith which originates from Blacksmiths and Carpenter which is self-explanatory.
Other names have changed through the centuries so that their original meaning is not so obvious. For example the name Richards which derives from the two elements of 'ric' and 'hard', and translates as "powerful ruler".
Then there are the 'meanings' one finds in name books, such as 'Matthew means Gift of God' and 'Sophia means Wisdom'.
Those name meanings are all well and good but they don't actually have any bearing on how the name will affect the person it is given to.
Names and their meanings – the numerological interpretation.
For me name numerology is the most fascinating area of the meaning of names because it delves into the innermost depths of a name.
It's an ancient system based on the fact that each letter of the alphabet has a numerical equivalent.
For instance the letter A corresponds to the number 1. The letter Y to the number 7. The letter K to the number 2.
Taking any person's full birth name we can apply the correct numbers to each letter of their name and after specific calculations we can interpret the meaning of the final numbers that are relevant to them.
This will reveal many things about their personality, their path in life, what career they are best suited to and much more.
Numerology calculation information and a free explanatory video
Numerology has been used since ancient Egyptian times and has stood the test of time.
Numbers are vibration, like everything in our world, and that energy affects us whether we believe it or not.
The fact that our names have meanings that shape our personalities explains why people often change in themselves after they change their name.
It also explains why most parents go to so much trouble when choosing a baby name.
Perhaps on some subconscious level they sense that the name they choose for their child's life is more important than we know…

Recent Lincoln City Reviews
Never Had a Better Vacation or Hospitality
Five stars do not give this wonderful retreat justice. The beauty of the 25 acres by itself would get five starts. You add on top of that the wonderful house, access to the river that goes into the ocean, all the blackberries you and your kids can eat or make jam out of (we made 36 pints), and the location of not being too far away from town (but far away enough from it all), account as only a small dent into the tranquil home in Lincoln City, Oregon. Now if all of that would not give it a five you have a wonderful host, David, that makes sure your vacation is all that you want it to be. He treated us as close to royalty as it gets without being a cousin or brother to Prince William. Our family, with little kids, used this magnificent rental as a base camp to all that Lincoln City had to offer; fishing in the river and ocean, crabbing in the ocean, kite flying, hiking, waterfall exploring, tide pool exploration, farmer markets, organic at the farm shopping, best chocolate milk tasting, touring cheese factories, and as you can see the list could go on and on. The rental really was in the heart of everything we wanted from Lincoln City or for that matter what Oregon has to offer. It might sound as though we are gushing over this place and that is true, we are. The only negative item would be the speed of the internet but our great host David is already on top of that and getting more bandwidth delivered so there will be no issues for those that come after us. When you go, get ready to enjoy a vacation how you want to enjoy a vacation because everything is at your fingertips. You just have to make the decisions. The house is very well equipped both in the kitchen as well as the amenities inside the garage. There was a kayak and canoe ready for us to use. The jacuzzi had also been drained and sanitized before our arrival. The BBQ and fire pit were prepared with charcoal and wood also. David thank you for sharing your piece of heaven with us. We so enjoyed your superb rental, hospitality, and friendship. We will be in contact many years from now.
