Woman's body found near Petronila
PETRONILA - Oil field workers found the body of a woman with massive head injuries about 8:15 a.m. Monday northeast of Petronila, authorities said.
Lt. Bill Edge of the Nueces County Sheriff's Department said the case is being treated as a homicide.
"The severe head trauma is probably the cause of her death," Edge said.
They haven't been able to identify the woman who was found in a remote area at Farm to Market Road 665 and County Road 30, near a group of oil tanks, Edge said.
Edge said authorities believe the woman was driven to the area and then killed, likely less than 24 hours before she was found.
The crime scene was in the open and workers easily spotted her body, Edge said.
Edge said investigators found evidence at the scene, which now is being processed, but he wouldn't elaborate.
The woman did not have a purse or any identification and authorities are seeking the public's help in identifying her.
Police describe the woman as Hispanic, between 30 and 40 years old with shoulder length black hair. She was about 5 feet, 2 inches tall and weighed between 135 and 140 pounds, authorities said.
She was wearing a long-sleeved blue sweatshirt with the logo of Bay Ltd., a local contracting company, on it, as well as black spandex pants, white socks and black slippers.
It's important to remember that just because she is wearing a Bay Ltd. sweatshirt, it doesn't mean she worked for them, Edge said.
How to help
Anyone with information about the homicide or the identity of the woman who was killed, should call Lt. Bill Edge at 960-6482.

Color Inspiration From Sweden
I think we could all use a little color inspiration today! I'm already seeing it in stores here, but mostly in pastel tones for Easter. I'm thinking we turn up the volume this year and make the pastel-filled Easter a bit more graphic and strong. Perhaps mix your pastels with some stronger shades of the same hue (pale yellow with mustard, for instance, adding in some black for strength). These colorful rooms from Swedish magazine Skona Hem may spark some ideas for you.
Do any of these looks excite you? Spot any corners that you'd like to try at home this Spring?

I'm really feeling drawn to the bolder, darker colors lately. I'm feeling whited out, I think. Or maybe I've always liked the darker shades, and the whitewhitewhite was just a phase for me? Pastels have never done it for me.

I love the upper right picture of the mostly white living room with this huge green picture at the wall. It's such an eyecatcher without demolishing the feeling of the room. Also the picture down right with this bright pink wall – looks amazing albeit a bit too much for actually realizing something like that in my own home.
I'm actually myself in a kind of search for the best look in our home. We're living there for half a year now and most of the work is basically done – but there's still some spots where I'm not really content with.
And now that the winter seems to have abandoned the snow here in Germany, some colour is really needed. I'm already looking so much forward to spring!

These colors (because they are on trend) were the inspiration for my blog's logo design – the 3 colors – peacock blue, chartreuse green and a hot-muddied pink.
My girlfriend, who lives in London, told me after she saw the colors on the blog, that the Prada store windows had mannequins dressed in bright (toned-down) neons and each one had peacock socks with heels on.
Good Eye ;)!

Gammon Infrastructure Projects is considering hiving off its road projects under a separate arm, KK Mohanty, managing director, said.
Though he did not specify a timeline, Mohanty said once the size of the company's total road portfolio reaches Rs10,000 crore, it will make sense to hive off.
"Each of our verticals has to achieve a critical mass before we can spin them off and roads will be the first," Mohanty said.
At present, Gammon's eight road projects are together worth Rs4,500 crore.
It is also developing three ports, five power projects and one special economic zone near Jamshedpur where it's not made much progress.
"This fiscal, we are looking to win about Rs10,000 crore worth of projects, including Rs4,000 crore in roads," Mohanty stated.
He said Gammon has qualified to bid for Rs175,000 crore worth of projects in roads, power, ports, airports and urban development.
Of this, Rs45,000 crore is in roads.
The company is also bidding for 5-7 projects across verticals in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and South Africa.
Of its eight roads, three are operational and the others will be commissioned by June 2012.
Only three of its projects are on a toll basis, while the rest are annuity projects.
A build-operate-transfer or BOT project is one which a developer bids for, and, after winning it, builds, operates for a specified period, earning revenue through toll and then hands it back to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
In an annuity project, the NHAI pays the developer half-yearly annuity through the life of the project in lieu of toll. The NHAI reserves the right to toll the stretch.
Talking of the rationale behind keeping verticals separate, Mohanty said, "It leads to greater sectoral expertise and operational efficiency." He also said they find better valuations.
Some of Gammon's peers, including Ramky Infrastructure and Reliance Infrastructure, have plans to consolidate their road and other verticals under separate subsidiaries with the aim of listing them at a later point.
For the three months ended March 31, Gammon's sales and profit after tax rose 42% and 14%, respectively, from a year ago to Rs77 crore and Rs8.3 crore.
The company has approved a Rs200 crore rights issue to partly meet its equity requirement of Rs270 crore in its various projects this fiscal.

A. The ones that stand out are the students that were C, D, F students that got A's in chemistry. It's the first class where what they had to give was valued. They were creative thinkers that didn't want to follow the rules, and school is a lot of rules. They never had a forum where trying their own idea was valued.
Q. Why is your class different?
A. It's what I value. I encourage those who have good ideas and who are free thinkers. When they recognize I value that, they perk up and realize this is a class I will give value to. Success breeds success.
Q. When did you get your love for science?
A. I have been a science enthusiast, chemistry enthusiast, since I was 11 years old. I like all areas of science, but chemistry is my favorite. I had a chemistry set growing up. It was in the genes and in the house – science was a fun thing to do. I didn't always intend to be a high school teacher but once I did start, I never had a bad day.
Q. What do you plan to do with the $1,500 winnings from the National Science Teachers Association?
A. Some of it I've donated to the advanced chemical research program at the school, some of it I'll use to go on vacation in Italy.

Portobelo Vacation Rentals: Best Accomodations in Portobelo
I stayed at the houses of Taller Portobelo - an artist collective in Portobelo and they were fantastic. Portobelo Vacation Rentals handles their booking - www.portobelovacationrentals.com so it was quick and easy to plan. The houses themselves are gorgeous and are right on the bay. For a few extra dollars we had cooking and cleaning services added to our stay and the food was awesome. They cooked traditional Panamanian meals that were amazing. Great play to stay in Portobelo!
The houses are full of art - on the walls, in the bathrooms, everywhere! The houses also have a bunch of extra bedding throughout so it made it cheap and easy for a bunch of us to shack up and split the cost.

Keith Whitley and the Judds - Cliffie Stone Pioneer Award (honoring music acts that are pioneers in the country music genre)
Jason Aldean – Crystal Milestone Award (honoring a significant career milestone)
Blake Shelton – Gene Weed Special Achievement Award (honoring unprecedented, unique and outstanding individual achievement in country music)

- Sammy Kershaw, Joe Diffie and Aaron Tippin have released a new single together called "All in the Same Boat" to support their tour together.
- Lady Antebellum shared the track listing for their upcoming album, Golden.
- Here's a new Laura Bell Bundy song called "Two Step."
- Singer-songwriter Julie Reeves is the new morning radio host at WDGG in Huntington, WV. She's competing directly against her ex-husband Cledus T. Judd who does mornings at crosstown rival WTCR.
- Speaking of Judd, Octomom stars in his new video for "Honeymoon," a song that parodies Little Big Town's "Pontoon."

We had a lot left over. But, It seemed like what we found from the outside really fit the mood. We felt very fortunate. I think from a song quality standpoint, it's even better than the first one."

10 Comments
Darn, why didn't Nell Robinson do a video of one of her Cackle Sisters songs?…(lol)
There is no arguing that Kristen Kelly's "He Loves to Make Me Cry" is a top shelf blue eyed soul song, but will it get airplay on Top 40 Airhead Country Radio? The Opry audience loves it when Kristen sings it live (like last Saturday night), but I can't see radio giving it a chance although I hope I'm wrong.
Will the new Laura Bell Bundy song make an appearance on "Hart of Dixie"? I sure wouldn't mind if it did, and especially if she was wearing her "Giddy On Up" video outfit.
The term "3D Printer" is quite misleading but it's unfortunately become standard vernacular. "3D Fabrication Device" would be much better. Oh well.
I am surprisingly fond of this new Laura Bell Bundy track. It has enough personality and actually works to the point that not even the Colt Ford verse bugs me. I would actually love to see this become a hit because she took what Aldean and Brantley and such have been trying to do and actually pulled it off. Bundy really is the closest thing we have to be progressive in the same manner as Shania Twain. She incorporates aspects of pop without losing her country side and is able to pull off even the somewhat timid tracks with her personality.
I'm afraid I couldn't make it through more than a few seconds of the Bundy track.
When groups you never heard of make the news on the possibility of a reunion; ….it is time to turn the page. heck, maybe their album will be released on vinylSimilarly, when The Judds are pioneers of anything…always nice to see Guy Clark get recognized.
No comment on Bundy's song as this is a country music forum and that song, to me, doesn't qualify.
Glad to from Kershaw, Tippon, and Diffie. Great vocalists. Gotta love those guys.
Neko Case's song is, uhm… interesting.
Rucker does very respectable on "W
"Barbara Mandrell will be coming out of retirement to sing at George Jones' final Nashville concert this November."
I don't know, but I'm starting to get the feeling that the one person who's going to barely be heard at this "George Jones Concert" is George Jones.
It seems like it should be billed as a festival rather than a concert, since it sounds like it'll take all day to fit in all of those performers.
Overdoing it may lessen the impact. It's been done in this case. But oh well, the Possum is the boss.
Bruce, you have an interesting definition of "not making a comment. "
That is a critique that is justified. Error noted.
My dang keyboard messed up and my other comments were posted before corrections. Surprised you didn't comment on those but I guess you were being merciful.
Still like hearing from Kershaw, Tippon, and Diffie.

At NSF, the RAPID funding mechanism is used for proposals having a severe urgency with regard to availability of, or access to data, facilities or specialized equipment, including quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar unanticipated events. PI(s) must contact the NSF program officer(s) whose expertise is most germane to the proposal topic before submitting a RAPID proposal. This will facilitate determining whether the proposed work is appropriate for RAPID funding.
The Project Description is expected to be brief (two to five pages) and include clear statements as to why the proposed research is of an urgent nature and why a RAPID award would be the most appropriate mechanism for supporting the proposed work. Note this proposal preparation instruction deviates from the standard proposal preparation instructions contained in this Guide; RAPID proposals must otherwise be compliant with the GPG.
The box for "RAPID" must be checked on the Cover Sheet.
Only internal merit review is required for RAPID proposals. Under rare circumstances, program officers may elect to obtain external reviews to inform their decision. If external review is to be obtained, then the PI will be so informed in the interest of maintaining the transparency of the review and recommendation process. The two standard NSB-approved merit review criteria will apply.
Requests may be for up to $200K and of one year duration. The award size, however, will be consistent with the project scope and of a size comparable to grants in similar areas.
No-cost extensions, and requests for supplemental funding, will be processed in accordance with standard NSF policies and procedures.
Renewed funding of RAPID awards may be requested only through submission of a proposal that will be subject to full external merit review. Such proposals would be designated as "RAPID renewals."
The official announcement and description of this opportunity may
be found on the funding agency's website:
Disciplinary Category:
Environmental & Life Sciences; Physical Sciences & Engineering; Social Sciences.
A continuous application opportunity. Applications are considered
in the order received.

Democrats bring gun control bill to Senate floor
Tuesday - 4/9/2013, 4:20am EDT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Democrats have brought gun control legislation to the Senate floor amid a threat from conservative Republican senators to use delaying tactics to prevent formal debate from even beginning.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid took the first procedural step to begin debate on Monday. He said Republicans owed relatives of the massacre of school children in Newtown, Conn., a vote on gun proposals, adding, "Shame on them."
The Nevada Democrat spoke shortly after receiving a letter from 13 conservative Republicans saying they would try to block Senate debate on the bill. The letter said gun curbs would violate the Second Amendment's right to bear arms, and the group indicated they would force Democrats to garner 60 votes to proceed -- a difficult hurdle in the 100-member chamber.

PREDICTS Project: Global Analysis Reveals Massive Biodiversity Losses

The changing climate is only one of a myriad of pressures faced by global biodiversity – we are also changing habitats and altering land-use on an unprecedented scale. The first global analysis published from the PREDICTS project reveals the striking global effect of land-use change on local biodiversity patterns, and highlights the importance of future […]

'All about sex in fish'
Paulino Martinez
University of Santiago de Compostela, Spain
Date & Time:

Sex is a ubiquitous feature in the living world and, although a general consensus exists on its relevance for obtaining new genetic combinations for adaption, the presence of different sexes introduces new evolutionary scenarios for live. Sex determination is an especial developmental pathway, where an undifferentiated gonad is driven towards an ovary or a testis at a specific time of development mostly depending on the genetic constitution of the individual. Our view of sex determination and its evolution has been very influenced by the studies on Drosophila, mammals and birds, where a stable genetic mechanism reflected as a chromosome heteromorphism associated to a particular model of inheritance is present. Fish have demonstrated a very different pattern of sex evolution. Different genes and even environmental variants play a role and changes in sex determination can occur in a very short period of evolutionary time.

Looks like Jones is still available for round 4...if he can last 20 more picks the Bengals could still get him. :dunno:
I'll make my yearly statement (feel free to ignore it, belittle it, or be angry at it, you can't hurt my feelings because i think I am fairly alone in this assessment). I hate the NFL Draft.I hate that it dominates my sports coverage for months. It is truly ESPNs greatest creation. They drag months and months of programming out of something that isn't interesting as a televised event and something that is disposable. You (usually) won't know if a team had a good draft for many years and once the draft is over it is almost completely forgotten.
Things that drive me crazy about the Draft:
-Mel Kiper and that other guy arguing over their fake mock drafts.
-Fans getting excited/upset at the draft itself. No one has any idea if most of these guys will be good.
-There are playoff games and do or die games in two other sports happening on the same night, and we spend more time talking about an interior linemans 40 time.
I know many of you love the draft. I'm not blaming you, I'm not upset with you. This is simply my narcissistic diatribe against it. Return to programming as usual.
Loving this draft for the Bengals so far. They are really embracing the Best Player Available strategy over the past few years, really since 2009, and it is really paying off. Eifert and Bernard are going to be huge additions on offense, Hunt is a physical freak who will have time to develop on the D-Line, and Williams looks like a pro-ready safety to add to the secondary. Way to go, Bengals. Who Dey!
Chiefs fan here..Can I get some Bearcat fans input on Kelce. Looks good on film, and was a must need for Alex. Not a fan of the Fisher pick, would have preferred Joeckel, but looks like BA isn't going anywhere, so Fisher goes to RT. Kniles Davis?.........meh. Not sure what the PTB was thinking here. Too loose with the ball, and Draughns was a nice fill-in for JC last year. Another wasted pick.
Hopefully today brings us Ryan Nassib, then all wont be for naught.
I'm a bit surprised that Zac Dysert is still on the board. He would be a good pick for anyone at this point in the draft.
Nice Bengal T-Shirt, BTW.
Our newest Jag
Cardinals putting together a really nice draft.

Georgia tight end Arthur Lynch and offensive lineman Hunter Long got to see how another SEC power program lives when they spent a few days last week in Baton Rouge, La., visiting former Bulldog quarterback Zach Mettenberger at LSU.
"It's so funny to see another big-time program," Lynch said. "There's no animosity."
Lynch said he swapped stories of the life of a college player with not only Mettenberger, but with Odell Beckham Jr., Jeremy Hill, Connor Neighbors, Jarvis Landry and others.
Lynch got a chance to check out LSU's indoor facility. Advantage LSU.
LSU players heard that Georgia players get food catered in by Carrabba's. Advantage Georgia.
'ÄúThey'Äôll be like `No way. That'Äôs unbelievable. They just give us like whatever,'Äô'Äù Lynch said. "It'Äôs funny. You think you don'Äôt have the best, but that was just the coolest thing.

Carrabba's must really be creating buzz around the Bulldogs' program.

I had the pleasure of escorting an old friend from California through the Universal parks this weekend, and I must say, that it was a neat experience over going to the park with "seasoned" theme park visitors, as it made me see the parks with new eyes, and made me realize that every guide book to Islands of Adventure written pre Wizarding World of Harry Potter should be immediately discarded.
Before I get to the photos, a brief history:
I first visited Islands of Adventure in 2004, it was late January shortly after I had begun my College Program at WDW. It was the beginning of a love affair with that park. Since the Park opened in 1999 there had only been 3 attractions open, Flying Unicorn, Storm Force Acceleration, High in the Sky Seuss Trolly Train Ride, all of which should have opened when the park opened, but didn't for various reason.
So the guide to Islands of Adventure was "get to the park, and go counter clockwise, because most people go straight to the Hulk..."
The this past Holiday season, with the constant closing of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and Islands of Adventure hitting capacity for the first time since the park opened in 1999, I began to think that the way people "plan" their trips really needs to be rethought. (please read my guide here http://micechat.com/forums/universal...ry-potter.html )
So knowing my friends main priority was to experience the WWoHP I decided to follow my own grrreat advice lol
So we got to Islands of Adventure at 8:30 am, ready for a 9:00 am opening.
I have only seen crowds like this at Magic Kingdom and Disneyland before park opening! I have been at IOA park opening numerous times in years past, and there were only probably 20, 30 people in the past, now days, the ticket lines were full, the lines to get in went past the ticket area.
We then head straight back to the WWoHP with the rest of the crowds. So first thing we did, was get Butter Beer... Pure Harry Potter Magic.
The line for Olivandra's was already an hour long by the time we got back there.
Continuous entertainment at WWoHP
I have to share this pic, Mr. Awesome (KingEric's wink, wink) looks like he is trying to escape Jurassic Park by climbing out of the raft... I almos died laughing. I am in the red.
So after being in the parks from open to close, I think I am going to write a new guide in the future on how to navigate Islands of Adventure.
My two friends who I brought at the end of the day only had glowing things to say about Islands of Adventure, but had some not so glowing things to say about Universal Studios.
Anyways I hope you enjoy my ranting lol

Etobicoke trustees helped frustrated parents put into context a situation that continues to "cast a long shadow" over their children's school year – teachers' continued withdrawal from extracurricular activities – at a joint forum this week at Lambton Kingsway JMS.
Co-hosted by Etobicoke-Lakeshore Trustee Pamela Gough and Etobicoke Centre Trustee Chris Glover, the two-hour "Bill 115: What does it mean for my school?" forum saw special guest speaker Annie Kidder, executive director of People for Education, and a panel of parent and student leaders discuss the ongoing ramifications of the contentious Putting Kids First Act.
The issue top of mind for most in attendance at Tuesday's standing-room-only forum was extracurriculars. Although Bill 115 was officially repealed by the Liberal government last week, teachers' unions have not let up on the extracurricular ban – a protest against a bill they say stripped them of their democratic bargaining rights – and so students are still feeling the resultant loss of their activities outside the classroom.
Kidder cautioned parents gathered in the Lambton Kingsway library not to assume that just because they're called "extra" curriculars, that their children's out-of-classroom teams and clubs are considered in any way expendable – "because they are a core component of education and it's important to take them seriously," she said.
The goal of Tuesday's forum, Gough said, was not to point fingers at one side or the other, but to talk about how best to deal with those most effected by the job action – the students.
"We're here to discuss Bill 115 not from the framework of the teachers and not from the framework of the province – we're here to discuss it from the framework of the students who have been most impacted and their parents," she said, cautioning parents that the forum was designed as a non-partisan one. "We're here to talk about it from the point of view of the people who are caught in the middle."
Kidder said one of the other big concerns with the ongoing labour tensions is the toll that nervous energy between teachers and administration is having on school spirit.
"Because that school climate has an impact on student success, too. When we talk about that slow growing sense of tension between principals and teachers, teachers and each other, that can certainly cause a crack in the school climate," she said. "School spirit sounds kind of airy fairy, but it's really, really a very serious and important part of education. That's why it's so urgent that something gets done now...and why it's incumbent on the grown-ups to get back to the table, to find a little give-and-take, and to find a way to put this behind us."
David Chudoba, chair of both the Broadacres and Hollycrest school councils, said he's already seen those tensions trickle down to middle school students, many of whom are mourning the loss of not only their sports teams and clubs, but also their much-anticipated Grade 8 graduation field trips.
"There's a lot of frustration and you can sense that coming off the kids – they're fed up. And when you've got 12- and 13-year-olds fed up – when they're expressing that feeling that they're frustrated and asking 'why are we the victims?' – that means a lot," he said.
Given the popular belief in the importance of extracurriculars to children's education, one father in the crowd questioned why only one portion of his children's education – the classroom component – is considered mandatory, while the other – the social, extracurricular part – is classified as voluntary.
"Personally I don't understand how we're in a system where half (a teacher's) job is voluntary and the other half is part of the job. I just don't understand it," he said. "We all recognize a well-rounded student needs both, so why doesn't the job description include both?"
Kidder, however, cautioned against the suggestion that teachers start to get paid for their voluntary extracurricular commitments, stating that it could lead to a situation of inequity between students and schools – especially if that discussion leads to the suggestion that students be charged extra fees for their participation.
"Let's not cut off our noses to spite our faces right now to deal with this problem, because I think we're in danger of moving to a whole other system where we kind of privatize extracurricular activity," she warned.
As for what's next, Kidder said there's hope that former education minister Kathleen Wynne's selection as Ontario's new premier will go a long way towards easing labour tensions with teachers – and a final resolution so that kids can get back to the fun stuff.
"New faces will help...especially a new premier who really knows this file incredibly well, and who personally knows the people around the table and what those people are asking for is getting back to that table," she said, suggesting a cabinet shuffle resulting in a new education minister is also a likely development. "That said, the premier has already said she's not going to rip up that contract, so it's unrealistic for anyone to think that's ever going to happen. If that's what we're waiting for, then our kids will have two years of more of the same."

School Tries New Way to Teach Gifted 6th Graders
By Mark Reynolds
The system is trying to raise the standards for all students by eliminating a special program.
JOHNSTON — The middle school has eliminated a special program for academically talented sixth graders, schools officials said last night.
The program has been snipped as part of a wider effort to align the sixth-grade curriculum with state standards and help teachers reach out to gifted students without grouping them, according to assistant schools Supt. Kathryn M. Crowley.
In general, Crowley said, the use of new state standards is raising the bar for all students, not just the 24 students who had been in the program.
For example, the school must try to put all sixth graders on a track that will prepare them for algebra when they reach eighth grade, she said. Meanwhile, teachers, she said, have a responsibility to serve students who are ahead of the pack.
She said she will closely monitor middle school teachers to ensure they are providing adequate and challenging instruction to talented students.
More than a few parents contacted different members of the committee when they learned about the program's elimination.
One member, Giovanni D. Conti, said that some parents were alarmed at first because they thought their children were headed for a watered-down curriculum.
That's not the case, he said.
"We're changing the way we're doing business, but it's a more rigorous program," he said.
Another member of the committee, Sandra Comella Gabaree, peppered Crowley with questions about the change.
"You're not concerned that a lot of these talented and gifted children will leave the school now?" she asked.
"No, I'm not," Crowley said.
In response to questions, Crowley revealed that the program was out of sync with state-mandated curriculum requirements.
Also, she said there had been "some issues with who's selected to be in it." She did not elaborate.
The elimination of the program had not been reviewed and approved by the school-improvement team, Crowley said.
Comella Gabaree said that the special program had fostered a renaissance following its establishment in the 1980s, at a time when other competing schools — including a charter school — were proving attractive to gifted students.
"The middle school just flourished," she said.
A specialized program for just 24 students doesn't necessarily typify a flourishing school, according to Crowley.
"There really is not a lot of research that will show you that an academically talented program produces better students," she said.
In other business last night:
– Schools Supt. Margaret A. Iacovelli said the district will post student handbooks online this year. The savings on printing costs will be about $2,000, she said.
– The committee approved minutes that a clerk had submitted for its July 15 meeting.
The minutes should establish the panel's intentions for $365,000 that was received from the Northern Rhode Collaborative, a special- education program. Immediately after that meeting last month, staff in the district's central office said they could not release a clerk's tape recording of the meeting.
– Iacovelli said custodians will have the district's school buildings ready for the first day of school, which is Aug. 27.

Sydney's ladder position doesn't mean anything – Melbourne Victory's Vargas
Sydney FC's current position at the foot of the A-League table means nothing ahead of this weekend's clash with the Melbourne Victory.
They are the sentiments of experienced Victory defender Rodrigo Vargas who is well aware that the reigning champions have been extremely unlucky in some of their opening nine matches this term.
"Results aren't going their way, they've been a bit unlucky in a few games," Vargas said. "Against Adelaide the week before, they had plenty of chances.
"I still think Sydney have got a lot of quality in their side and you wouldn't write them off. There's 20 games to go so we know they'll be up for it."
The Victory host the Sky Blues at Etihad Stadium on Saturday night and Vargas hopes the players are in the right frame of mind to bounce back from their disappointing loss in the first-ever Melbourne derby to the Heart.
"The boys took it pretty hard, as they should," he added.
"We feel for the supporters and the fans that came out and we feel like we let them down, not only with the result, but the performance.
"The players are still pretty disappointed about it but we have to move on pretty quickly, we've got a big game this week against Sydney.
"We'll be looking to rectify that and hopefully pay back our fans with a win this week."

A collection of ketubot at New York's Jewish Museum prompts the Jewish Theological Seminary's chancellor to consider marriage contracts from medieval times to our own
The 30 marriage contracts now being exhibited at the Jewish Museum, on loan from the library of the Jewish Theological Seminary, where I am chancellor, repeatedly take me back to the signing of my own ketubah nearly 30 years ago. It remains the most beautiful work of art that my wife and I have on our walls, and the details of the day remain remarkably vivid.
It was a picture-perfect August morning, the sky over northern New Jersey a California shade of blue and the air unusually fresh. My friend Jonathan had finished building the chuppah with at least a half-hour to spare. My best man, Neal, had located the ketubah, which I had managed to misplace. Three little nieces in lovely pink dresses had been to the bathroom and back for what seemed the umpteenth time. The guests were seated expectantly, and the wedding party was lined up and ready to go. The only one not quite ready to march down the aisle, I then learned, was me: The friend and teacher who was going to perform the ceremony approached me with the suggestion that I take a few moments to reflect on the life-altering step I was about to take. "Where's Arnie going?" my almost-mother-in-law asked my bride. "He has to think," she replied. I did so, grateful ever after for that moment.
But if it's hard not to reflect from the ketubot in the show to the one on your own wall and to the moment when you ceremonially signed on to more than you could possibly have understood before entering into marriage, it is harder still not to wonder how much of your own experience was shared by the couples whose names, prayers, and promises we know long after their deaths only because they (or, more likely, their fathers) chose to engage skilled artists to make beautiful the legal document that sealed their union.
I am particularly mesmerized by the earliest contract in the exhibit: a fragment from the Cairo Geniza that dates from the early 12th century. The word that stands out most clearly—easily deciphered by any Hebrew reader—is simcha: joy. One wonders, how long did the joy last? How long did the lives of bride and groom last? How old were they when the witnesses signed them over to one another? Teenagers, perhaps? And what did the young couple feel as the witnesses confirmed their contract? What was joy for them?
Historians can give us facts on the average age of marriage in medieval Egypt, average life expectancy, average divorce rate. But I want to know about the couple's emotions, which—even if average, too—were surely not experienced any less intensely. The legal document that joined them powerfully resembles every other in the exhibit, as well as the one that bound my wife and me to each other. But would that Cairo bride and groom have been friends? Were they in love? Did they look to their love, as we do, to defy time and change? If so, they succeeded after a fashion. This scrap of paper survived, after all. Here I am staring at it, enchanted.
"A window onto history," one might say of the ketubah show; "a window" into marriage is what many of the ketubot were, it seems, intended to be. Take the contract made in Modena in 1756 or the one signed in Baghdad a few years later. In each, a block of text is written on a white background and framed by intricate and delicate ornamental designs that bring to mind windows. It's as if the artists were expressing the paradox to which every illustrated ketubah points. Marriage, unlike romance, depends for its survival on the legal fine points: promises made not in general but in specifics, intentions made good in routine provision of raiment and furnishings, 10 zuzim here, 6 zuzim there. Even conjugal rights are codified. But marriage also requires romance and, I'd wager, always did: splashes of color and extended plays of line, flourishes that are and are not measured, order that is accomplished in and through profusion.
It is telling, I think, that the congratulatory wishes characteristic of Sephardi contracts are writ large, as in the Modena ketubah, and the legalese much smaller. The Baghdad ketubah sets its three windowed prayers above the legal door through which the couple are about to walk. Light streams from both openings. Words and artistry form a unity that one hopes bride and groom were able to emulate for many years.
It's probably my own fancy, but the large cypress tree that rivets the eye on the Isfahan contract of 1885 seems to me a giant teardrop. Lion and sun may be a Persian national symbol testifying to the age-old Jewish desire to be part of the lands in which Jews dwelled and not only set apart from them by distinctive customs such as ketubah-signing. To me these symbols seem universal as well in their implicit prayer: May God guard bride and groom from sadness, or—because we know sadness will come—may God protect them in time of trouble, may the sun rise to shine on a new day.
The symmetry of the contract from Afghanistan, framed in red and blue, seems to intend similar comfort. Indeed, the beauty of the ketubah itself—the colors, the flowers, the burst of life, as in the Damascus document from 1885—all seem prophylactics against loss, harm, death. I wonder if the brides, whose futures were arranged for them by these contracts, uttered prayers as they received the ketubah that they get pregnant and not die, as so many women did, in childbirth.
Two of the three New York City ketubot seem to my eye far less solemn or intense than the rest. One features twin grandfather clocks set at 6:13, the traditional number of commandments binding Jews, a cute touch at a moment when cuteness seems unsuitable; the twin rings adorned with handshake and crown are cleverly joined by the clasp of contract and reinforced by arches above and below. Maybe the Civil War raging when it was signed, in 1863, made lightness of mood and design imperative. Abraham Hochman looms large in the ketubah that he has provided to bride and groom in his Central Palace Hall. We can see him, much like contemporary caterers who take charge, ushering the young couple up the stairs to the red curtains surmounted by the all-American eagle. Right this way, please! Did the wedding party want to be reminded, as it mounted the stairs to the window of possibility framed by the red curtains, that it stood in a millennia-long queue?
I prefer the distinguished serpentine line and color in the Jewish National Fund ketubah, from around 1930, not seeking to fill its parchment, muted perhaps by the Depression—and seizing on the mention of Jerusalem in the wedding ceremony to solicit funds for the rebuilding of Palestine. Is this bad taste in a wedding document? Maybe—but it is true to the text's concern with sums of zuzim and also to the ceremonial breaking of the glass at the wedding ceremony's conclusion in memory of the Temple's destruction. Jerusalem was being rebuilt in 1930, as the design at the top of the ketubah reminds us. The bride and groom might well want to get on a boat and visit.
My wife and I inscribed our intention to do more than visit Israel on our ketubah. After consultation with us, the artist who designed it, Shoshana Walker, placed verses featuring Jerusalem in a gold ring surrounding the legalities, and she surrounded those words, in turn, with a delicate floral pattern of deep blue, paler blue, white, and red. Our parents learned under the chuppah, not entirely happily, that we intended to go on aliyah; we ourselves learned under the chuppah, and in the hours of dancing afterward, that we were thankfully part of a generation that had reclaimed elements of Jewish tradition that had long lain dormant, the illustrated ketubah being one of them.
I don't think I realized at the time that, until this revival, ketubot like those in the exhibition at the Jewish Museum would almost certainly not have been hung on the wall. They would have been locked away in safekeeping until required to ensure the woman's rights in the event of divorce or death of the husband. Jews did not need displays of Jewishness in medieval Cairo or early modern Baghdad to remind them who they were. They knew, and so did their neighbors. Still—I like to think that those couples did not miss out on the pleasure gained from casting their eyes over the ketubah from time to time, remembering the beauty associated with their union and perhaps saying again a prayer to the Merciful One that joy and life continue.
The exhibition The Art of Matrimony: Thirty Splendid Marriage Contracts from The Jewish Theological Seminary Library opens at New York's Jewish Museum today.
Arnold Eisen is chancellor of the Jewish Theological Seminary.
In advance of the 70th anniversary of the Babi Yar massacre, an exhibition features the paintings of Felix Lembersky, who defied the Soviet regime and depicted the event as a Jewish tragedy

Some People Are Happy Tebow Is in New York
They just may not themselves be in New York
The NFL Draft is tonight—the last time the league will get sustained media attention until the dog days of summer, when camps convene. So I'd like to share with you a letter I received in the mail almost a month ago from a man in Illinois. In a card with a picture of a Newfoundland sunrise, he wrote,
I just read your article about Tim Tebow coming to N.Y.! I'm a Christian, have been a pastor for many years. We love and honor Israel, and the Jewish people God's chosen … you are the root we Gentiles have been grafted in! (ROMANS 11) God bless you. [signed]
Here's the blog post in question (and here's Romans 11—appears to be a reference to verse 17). You'll note that my take on Tebow coming to New York was snarky—I mean, of course it was. I think the existence and earnest conviction of people like the letter-writer doesn't mean I can't still make jokes. I just think it means we need to remember it's not a joke to everyone.
On the top half of the folded card, he wrote something else: "Go Jets!!!'
Earlier: Welcome to New York City, Tim Tebow!

WEEK-TV is the NBC-affiliated television station in Peoria, Illinois. The outlet broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 25 from a transmitter at its studios on Springfield Road in East Peoria (along I-474). Owned by the Granite Broadcasting Corporation, it operates ABC/CW affiliate WHOI (owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group) through joint sales and shared services agreements. The station also operates MyNetworkTV outlet WAOE (owned by Four Seasons Broadcasting) through a separate joint sales agreement.
Digital television[edit]
|Main WEEK-TV programming / NBC
WEEK-TV used to run a 24/7 weather digital subchannel called WEEK 25 Weather First which was affiliated with The Local AccuWeather Channel, but they deceased the channel as of 2012 and since then, only WEEK-TV on 25.1 has been the only subchannel carried by the station.
WEEK-TV signed-on February 1, 1953. It aired an analog signal on UHF channel 43 and was an NBC affiliate from the start. It was owned-and-operated by Oklahoma City-based West Central Broadcasting Company along with WEEK radio (1350 AM, now WOAM). West Central was the broadcasting arm of the Oklahoma Publishing Company. Edward K. Gaylord was President and the chairman of the board was United States Senator Robert S. Kerr (a former governor of Oklahoma and half of Kerr-McGee). The original Chief Engineer of WEEK-TV-AM was Wayne Lovely who supervised the construction of the stations' technical facilities and equipment installation in 1953 (he would remain employed by WEEK-TV until 1974).
On November 7, 1957, WEEQ-TV in La Salle launched as a satellite of WEEK-TV in order to rebroadcast its signal.[1][2] The UHF channel 35 allocation was most recently used for TBN affiliate WWTO-TV which now broadcasts in digital on VHF channel 10 but retains 35 as its virtual channel. WEEK-TV would move its analog signal to UHF channel 25 sometime around 1964.[2]
The channel 43 allocation was later moved from Peoria to Bloomington and used by the second incarnation of WBLN beginning in 1982 (this is now Fox affiliate WYZZ-TV).[2] In 1966, West Central sold WEEK-TV and WEEQ-TV to Kansas City Southern Industries which also acquired KRCG in Jefferson City, Missouri around the same time. The new owner eventually shut down WEEQ-TV sometime in the early-1970s.
In 1985, Kansas City Southern Industries sold both of its stations to Price Communications. On October 31, 1988, WEEK-TV and fellow NBC affiliate KBJR-TV in Superior, Wisconsin became the two founding stations of current owner Granite Broadcasting. In 1997, WEEK-TV bought the broadcasting license for 98.5 in Eureka, gave it the call sign WEEK-FM, and nickname "Oldies 98.5". Granite Broadcasting divested itself of the radio station, which is now WPIA, in 1999.
WEEK-TV has been digital-only since February 17, 2009.[3] On that date, the station remained on channel 25 when the analog to digital conversion was completed. The "WEEK-TV" calls were transferred from the now-defunct analog channel 25 to the new digital channel 25 and the "WEEK-DT" call sign from the pre-transition digital channel 57 was permanently discontinued.
On March 2, 2009, WEEK-TV took over the operations of WHOI (then owned by Barrington Broadcasting) through joint sales and shared services agreements. It resulted in that station closing its studios on North Stewart Street in Creve Coeur and moving into WEEK-TV's East Peoria facilities.[4] As a result of the consolidation, all five of Peoria's full-powered commercial television stations are now operated by two entities. Granite-owned CBS affiliate WTVH in Syracuse, New York also saw its operations merged with Barrington-owned NBC affiliate WSTM-TV and low-powered CW affiliate WSTQ-LP on the very same day. In this case, however, WSTM is the senior partner in the operational arrangement.[5]
On February 11, 2014, it was announced that Quincy-based Quincy Newspapers would acquire WEEK-TV, as well as KBJR-TV in Superior, Wisconsin, KRII in Chisholm, Minnesota, WBNG-TV in Binghamton, New York, and Malara Broadcasting-owned WPTA in Fort Wayne, Indiana from Granite Broadcasting. Quincy originally intended to continue to provide services to WHOI and WAOE;[6] however, the JSA between WEEK-TV and WAOE will expire at the end of 2014 and Sinclair (which completed its acquisition of Barrington Broadcasting on November 25, 2013) gave notice that the JSA/SSA between WHOI and WEEK-TV (which was originally set to expire in March 2017) will be terminated within nine months of Quincy's consummation of WEEK-TV.
Syndicated programming on WEEK-TV includes Inside Edition, The Dr. Oz Show, Dr. Phil, and The Rachael Ray Show among others. All are distributed by CBS Television Distribution.
News operation[edit]
On June 5, 2006, WEEK-TV established a news share agreement with WAOE and began producing a weeknight-only prime time newscast. Known as News 25 at Nine on My 59, the show can be seen for thirty minutes and competes with another half-hour production airing at the same time on WYZZ (produced by CBS affiliate WMBD-TV). WYZZ once aired a weekend edition of its newscast but this was dropped. WAOE also provides a simulcast of the 5-7 a.m. portion of WEEK-TV's weekday morning show.
As a result of the joint operational agreement between WEEK-TV and WHOI, the ABC outlet consolidated its news operation with WEEK-TV. A new secondary set was built at the Springfield Road facilities for use by WHOI. In addition, that station let go most of its production and newscast personnel but added four on-air personalities to WEEK-TV's news team (three of them are still employed by WEEK-TV today).
WHOI then dropped its own weeknight newscasts at 5 and 6 for a new show seen at 5:30 so it would not directly compete with WEEK-TV in those time slots. WHOI retained its own weekday morning show and a separate local news broadcast weeknights at 10. On weekends, WEEK-TV and WHOI simulcast local newscasts but there can be a delay or pre-emption on one station because of network obligations. At some point in time after combining operations, the two outlets became the first news department in the market to upgrade local newscasts to 16:9 enhanced definition widescreen. Although not truly high definition, the shows match the aspect ratio of HD television screens. It is unknown if the WAOE broadcasts were included in the change, however.
