The student government association at Bluegrass CTC will participate in the Salvation Army's LemonAid Days, a month-long charity event where participants set up lemonade stands and donate the proceeds to homeless families.
America Recycles Day is November 15? Since 1997, communities across the country have come together on November 15 to celebrate America Recycles Day. More than a celebration, America Recycles Day is the only nationally recognized day dedicated to the promotion of recycling programs in the United States. One day to educate and motivate. One day to get our neighbors, friends and community leaders excited about what can be accomplished when we all work together. One day to make recycling bigger and better 365 days a year.
Consistent with the KCTCS Vision to be the nation's premier community and technical college system, KCTCS is becoming a leader in practices, educational and workforce training opportunities, and community leadership related to sustainable development or sustainability. The most commonly accepted definition of sustainable development is found in the 1987 United Nations' Our Common Future: Report of the World Commission on Environment and Development (also known as the "Brundtland Report"): "Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Sustainability is more than "being green." Multifaceted, sustainability touches every area of a college. Facilitating cultural change to enhance the well-being of people, sustainability includes improving efficiencies and effectiveness in a socially equitable manner. Implementing sustainable practices demonstrates responsible stewardship of social, economic, and environmental resources. KCTCS sustainability focus is on being "Green+".

Senate considers aid for jobless vets, contractors
WASHINGTON The Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday to temporarily set aside its partisan standoff over President Barack Obama's jobs plan and move toward giving a modest economic spark to two potent interest groups: veterans and businesses.
In a 94-1 roll call, senators voted to start debating a measure repealing a requirement that federal, state and many local governments withhold 3 percent of their payments to contractors. That bill has been lobbied by a wide swath of industry groups large and small and has no significant opposition.
By the time the Senate approves the legislation - perhaps later this week - Democrats planned to add language backed by both parties offering tax breaks to companies that hire veterans and providing vets with employment counseling and other job-hunting services.
Monday's one-sided vote signaled that barring an unexpected twist, the Senate was likely to send the overall measure to the House, which returns from a recess next week.
The tax credits, up to $9,600 for companies hiring disabled veterans who have been jobless at least six months, would represent the first - though tiny - piece of Obama's $447 billion jobs proposal to be approved by Congress, assuming Senate and then House passage.
The expected cooperation contrasted with the two parties' battling at a time when persistent 9 percent unemployment is keeping 14 million Americans out of work and looming as the dominant issue in the 2012 presidential and congressional elections. It also masked the divisions between Democrats and Republicans over the keystones of Obama's jobs plan - spending huge sums to repair roads, hire teachers and give workers and companies breaks on the payroll tax.
Not coincidentally, the measure was beginning to move toward approval just ahead of Friday's Veterans Day celebrations, when lawmakers stream home for speeches and parades. And even as the two sides seemed ready to cooperate, they exchanged partisan slings over lawmakers' refusal so far to approve the rest of the president's jobs proposal.
"There's no good reason to oppose this bill, not one," Obama said in the White House Rose Garden as he promoted his proposed aid for veterans. "Our veterans did their jobs. It's time for Congress to do theirs."
On the Senate floor, Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., cited Republican opposition that has sunk the jobs legislation so far this year and taunted, "Now we will see whether Senate Republicans are willing to put jobs for veterans at risk as well. I certainly hope they are not.
Firing back, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., complained that the Republican-run House has approved nearly two dozen jobs measures that the Democratic-led Senate has ignored. The reason, he said: "So the president can go around on a bus and blame Congress for the country's problems."
McConnell added, "It's only a matter of time before the American people catch on to the Democrats' refusal to act."
The White House says veterans who have served since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, have a 12 percent unemployment rate, three points above the overall national average.

Kenny Chesney and Jason Aldean Merge for 10 Stadium Shows in 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 27, 2014) – Anticipation for the summer of 2015 just hit record highs as Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney have announced that their tours will collide for 10 stadium shows next summer. The first shows to go on sale for the unprecedented pairing are New England's Gillette Stadium on Aug. 28, 2015 and San Francisco's Levi's Stadium on May 2, 2015. More on-sale information and special guests will be revealed over the coming weeks.
"We've played so many of these stadiums so many summers, I know just how hard the fans coming out can rock," Chesney says. "There aren't a lot of guys out there who can hit it the way Jason does, so I'm glad we're able to bring both of our tours together for 10 nights this summer. I know what me and the guys are bringing in terms of music, and I know Jason can hang with us!"
"Kenny is the guy everybody in country music looks up to when they think about workin' hard, building your career out on the road and getting to eventually play stadiums," added Aldean. "When we first started dipping our toe into that business a few years ago, he's the guy I would call or text for advice. We have a real friendship. Don't get me wrong…that doesn't mean I'm going to make it easy to follow me every night…he's gonna have to work for it harder than he ever has before!"
5/2/15: San Francisco, CA, Levi's Stadium
5/16/15: Dallas, TX, AT&T Stadium
6/20/15: Green Bay, WI, Lambeau Field
6/27/15: Seattle, WA, CenturyLink Field

The Aldean Army and Chesney's No Shoes Nation are both known for their ability to work hard and play harder. With a strong commitment to living in the moment, these shows are destined to be a once-in-lifetime pairing – and everything summer, friends and music are meant to embrace.
Chesney, whose The Big Revival marked his 13th No. 1 Country Album debut, already topped the Billboard Country Songs chart for two weeks with "American Kids" -- and "Til It's Gone," the follow-up, was at No. 18 with a bullet on release date.
Jason Aldean, whose Old Boots, New Dirt debuted at No. one on Billboard's Top 200 Album charts earlier this month, is known for his high-intensity shows, his sense of true grit and songs that capture the way his fans genuinely live their lives. The most downloaded male country artist in history and two-time Academy of Country Music Male Vocalist of the Year is also currently sitting at the No. one spot on country radio charts with lead single "Burnin' It Down."

The police finding the wrong boy and insists that it is someone's son…mistakes like this don't happen, do they? Well, apparently they did in Los Angeles back in 1928 and this fact is actually very disquieting. "Changeling" is a film based on the experiences of a woman named Christine Collins and on the murders of a small town outside L.A. called "Wineville". Co-produced by Clint Eastwood and written by one of my favorite writers, J. Michael Straczynski (Babylon 5, Midnight Nation, Thor), the film is a powerful piece of filmmaking. I've always had a fondness for Eastwood films and this film further cements the reasons why.
Los Angeles, 1928. When single mother Christine Collins (Angelina Jolie) comes home from work, she finds that her son, Walter (Gatlin Griffith) has vanished without a trace. Five months later, the LAPD reunite mother and son; but the problem is, the boy is not her son. Her pleas are ignored by Capt. J.J. Jones (Jeffrey Donovan, Burn Notice) and dismissed as a mother's unreasonable ravings. Driven by one woman's relentless quest for the truth, and aided by Rev. Briegleb (John Malcovich), the case exposes a world of corruption, captivates the public and changes Los Angeles forever.
The questions you have to ask yourself when you see the first half of the film is why is this boy claiming to be Walter Collins? There is no doubt that Christine is of sound mind and no one would know her son better than a mother would. While the film's main premise is simple, it manages to stick to its high points and manages to grip the audience through emotion. This film would be more appreciated by mothers, as it does tackle one woman's stand against the injustice being done her. The screenplay also manages to pull a few surprises, as the subplot with another boy who is an illegal immigrant from Canada gives doses of dark, very disturbingly real undertones. The movie is divided into two parts in three acts, the experiences of Christine Collins and the investigations of the Wineville murders. (this small town had changed its name after this incident) The second half nicely blends in with the film's overall premise which is blackmail, corruption, and the abuse by authority figures.
I've read somewhere that a melodrama is a film that revolves around its characters and I believe this strongly. "Changeling" is a melodrama, of this there is no doubt and much of the film's burden falls on Angelina Jolie. Jolie gives a very superb performance, she isn't loud or overly dramatic, she performs with such emotional finesse that when you look into her eyes, you can feel her pain. She rightfully deserved to be nominated for this film. John Malcovich exudes that familiar character and intensity--he seems obnoxious at times but his character overflows with righteousness. Malcovich was very strong and firm in his performance. Jeffrey Donovan plays the cop who is the root of Collins' troubles, Capt. Jones represents the arrogance and responsibilities of this corrupt police force. However, there is one conscientious cop in the persona of Detective Ybarra who is played by Michael Kelly. Despite his limited screen time, Kelly's character was in a good number of key moments in the film; for example, the interrogation scene between Kelly and amazingly good young actor Eddie Alderson is one of the film's key dramatic moments. As soon as you think the film is done with its surprises, Jason Butler Harner threatened to steal the show as one of the most disquietingly creepy performances since Hannibal Lecter.
Acting aside, which proved to be the film's greatest strength, the film's cinematography is also definitely noteworthy. One could easily ignore the scenery amid all the tearful moments and hysterics thrown into the screenplay, but the period costumes, set designs, and camerawork do deserve some credit. Eastwood keeps the camerawork tight and precise, but he manages to make use of the widescreen frame to fully utilize each scenario to convey the actual mood by using close ups, simple camera pans and perspective. Eastwood and Jolie work real well together, after all, Jolie is such a beauteous actress to shoot in close ups. Jolie looks great and she felt very comfortable with her role, unquestionably one of her best performances.
The only fault that I could find in the film is that the courtroom and trial sequences felt a little rushed, that maybe they could have been done a little better, but I also think that maybe it was a way to maintain focus on Christine Collins and its tone. The emotional high points do reach an all time high in a number of key scenes, (especially the scenes in the final moments of the 2nd act) and the resolutions and expositions in the last act may also prove a little too overlong to some.
Eastwood's films are never visually flashy, he keeps them straight-forward to emulate reality by avoiding elaborate camera trickery. In sticking to his old-school mechanics, Eastwood manages to maintain the focus on his characters. Clint Eastwood is among my favorite directors and working with Straczynski, they have presented a gut-wrenching, gripping, experience that can be compared to "L.A. Confidential". Eastwood fulfills his promise as a filmmaker with grace and finesse; too bad he is still a little underappreciated. This should change.
Highly Recommended! [4 ½ Stars]

How do you know you're in season finale month? When you need to end with a cliffhanger, you invoke the nuclear option. After all, it worked for the last dozen or so James Bond movies.
Blowing stuff up to get audience share is the oldest trick in the screen writer's arsenal. And in a TV season that has not produced a runaway hit, you might as well swing for the fences.
Picking the winners and losers of the 2013 television season is no contest: fantasy and comic book characters rule once more.
Arrow has been renewed for a second season and Once Upon a Time, which had the loopiest season finale ever with a bomb that looked suspiciously like the Hope Diamond, has been as well.
And there is no end in sight to the popularity of horror.
The conventional TV season that ends in May was a watershed moment in TV with zombie apocalypse series The Walking Dead beating every scripted show for the coveted 18-49 demographic. And don't forget that other cable juggernaut, Game of Thrones.
While vampires, comic book heroes and fairy-tale characters blanketed the airwaves, this was closely followed by a batch of serial killers. That included the Kevin Bacon-helmed The Following and Bates Motel (its season finale is Monday), where Vera Farmiga is giving a virtuoso performance as the most impossibly crazy, sexy, psychotic mother ever.
As in any season, there are subplots.
The bickering between new American Idol judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey masked the real story: the decline of a ratings juggernaut. Idol was the most watched show for years but was bested by competitor The Voice for the first time this season.
Viewership has been trending down for talent shows, as audience burnout prevails. After all, when everyone is a "superstar" they're most likely not.
The rise of The Voice also saw a run on inferior copycat "mentorship" shows released this season, such as the Naomi Campbell-produced The Face, about finding the next supermodel, and Nigella Lawson as a judge in The Taste, about finding the next great chef.
The Face was picked up for a second season, if only for the sheer entertainment value of the prickly Campbell — who is perhaps most famous for hurling phones at lackeys — acting as a mentor to impressionable young women.
The losers for the season included the political comedy show 1600 Penn, which, despite a great cast, failed to gain viewership. The soapy thriller Deception had a great premise but saw no traction. Despite having a marquee producer in Steven Spielberg, Smash failed to get the grown-up Glee crowd. Golden Boy, about New York City's youngest police commissioner and starring Mr. Pamuk from Downton Abbey (Theo James), also had promise but failed to deliver.
In Canada, the prevalent theme this season was the wholesale franchising of American reality shows for domestic consumption.
Host Martin Short hit was deliciously on target when he praised the "originality" of Canadian television after introducing the Real Housewives of Vancouver at the Canadian Screen Awards.
Big Brother Canada broke viewing records for a reality show on specialty network Slice. And in July, Canadians get to watch their own version of The Amazing Race. Add Storage Wars Canada and another season of The Bachelor Canada to come and you wonder why we bother to drum up new programming. Could Here ComesHoney Boo Boo Canada be far behind?
But networks are in the cynical business of giving us what we want to watch, proving once again that it's easier to buy a Domino's franchise than start your own pizzeria.
What's next?
Bruised by a lacklustre season, executives are sticking to the tried and true for the upcoming fall season.
What this season didn't have was a breakout hit on the legacy networks. And that has executives from CBS, NBC, ABC and FOX rightly worried as cable eats their lunch. And their bonuses. When the dust settles on the May sweeps, CBS will win the ratings war among the big four with long-in-the-tooth franchises such as The Big Bang Theory, Two and a Half Men and NCIS.
The network has five of the top six shows on prime-time TV, according to Nielsen ratings.
To solidify their lead, they're betting on Mork and Mindy breakout star Robin Williams with Sarah Michelle Gellar as his backup in The Crazy Ones, about an eccentric advertising executive.
Competitor NBC is hoping that by dipping into its past it will see better days ahead. It's doing a remake of the 1970s cop drama Ironside, while on Thursdays, Family Ties actor Michael J. Fox returns in his own sitcom.
And proving you can never have too much blast from the past, Fox is bringing back Jack Bauer, also known as Kiefer Sutherland in a limited 24 miniseries.
In a battle of nerdy acronyms, ABC is banking that its new action series Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. will dethrone veteran procedural NCIS.

Rated 4 out of 5�by 1 reviewer.
Rated 4 out of 5�by Gary W. Very nice Pie Pan. The interior is typical rough iron, not polished as I hoped I bought this cast iron pie pan because the photos looked, to me, to show that the interior surface was the polished smooth one that I prefer in cast iron. It is not polished, but rather the typical rough iron that has become the cost-reduction plagued standard of most modern cast iron cookware. None the less, the pan is very well cast, with no noticeable inclusions and a consistent finish throughout. I have not tried it yet, but am experienced enough with cast-iron cookware to be sure that it will function well. November 10, 2013

It's probably the oddest assignment Jake Heggie has ever had, or ever will.
It was Pacific Chorale conductor John Alexander who approached the composer with the kernel of the idea. Alexander wanted to broaden the repertory for choral groups, to go beyond the usual sacred fare and reach new audiences with a new kind of choral music that included aspects of theater and storytelling.
"And so, because I've been focusing mostly on opera and songs that tell stories," Heggie said, "he asked me to write a choral opera."
Though he didn't know exactly what a choral opera was or would be, Heggie, speaking on the phone recently from his home in San Francisco, initially liked the idea. At least until he sat down with his regular librettist Gene Scheer and they began to hash it out.
"We thought, well, what is a choral opera and what do you do with the choir because choirs stand there and produce beautiful sound and they're amazing musicians, but they don't move and they don't interact, and so what are we going to do with them?" Heggie and Scheer knew of no musical models that they could look to for answers, basically because there aren't any.
So they set about inventing a new musical form, with an original story loosely premised on Lewis Carroll's novel "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There," though with neither a looking-glass nor Alice.
The result is the one-act opera "The Radio Hour," for chamber choir, silent actress and instruments, which Alexander and the John Alexander Singers (the professional core of the Pacific Chorale) will premiere Sunday afternoon at Segerstrom Concert Hall. The 40-minute work tells the story of Nora (a silent role), a middle-aged woman who is having "a horrible, horrible day," shuts herself into her apartment at the end of it and turns on the radio, looking for solace.
What she hears there is the choir, only she doesn't necessarily like it. As she switches stations searching for the perfect song, the choir switches musical styles. Eventually, when Nora can't turn the radio off, it starts talking to her.
Heggie, 53, is one of the most successful opera composers working today. His first opera, "Dead Man Walking," caused something of a sensation and has had nearly 50 international productions since its premiere in 2000. It has been followed by several more operas, including "The End of the Affair" and "Moby-Dick," the latter commissioned by a consortium of companies including Dallas Opera, San Francisco Opera, San Diego Opera, Calgary Opera and State Opera of South Australia.
This from a musician who never thought he'd be an opera composer. Growing up in Ohio, he began playing piano at 5 and musicals were his thing. He liked "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins" especially, anything with Julie Andrews. But after high school, he spent a couple of years in Paris and began to go to opera performances on the cheap.
Heggie came back to the United States to study music at UCLA, where he ended up marrying his piano teacher, Johana Harris, the widow of composer Roy Harris and many years his senior, and working in the PR department for the music presentations there. As a result, he became the go-to page turner for performers who appeared there, including Leontyne Price, Montserrat Cabellé, Renata Scotto, Itzhak Perlman and Isaac Stern. "I was really getting amazing exposure to all kinds of art and artists and hearing just great, great performances," Heggie said.
A turning point in his understanding of what opera could be came in 1984, when he heard Jon Vickers in the title role of Britten's "Peter Grimes" at the L.A. Festival. "That was when I went 'Aha, now I get it.'"
He began writing songs when he was working in the marketing department at San Francisco Opera, and noted singers – Frederica von Stade, Renée Fleming, Jennifer Larmore, Dawn Upshaw – began singing them. The company's director, Lotfi Mansouri, got wind, put Heggie on a plane to New York to meet with playwright and librettist Terrence McNally, and "Dead Man Walking" was born.
Heggie's basic idiom is tonal, but freely so, and he calls his musical style "dramatic lyricism" – "because I really am all about serving the drama of the story, the transformative moment, but I like to do that with lyricism. Lyricism can mean many different things, it doesn't necessarily mean a tune or long line; it can be jagged if that serves the storytelling. But ultimately, I love the vocal line, I love voices, I love moments when they get to really bloom." He doesn't mind being called "accessible"; he says he writes operas "for a public to include them in the journey."
"The Radio Hour" required him to compose music in several styles. As Nora turns the dial on the radio she hears a swing tune, a quasi-rap song, a "sort of samba with a Doris Day kind of feel" and others. Heggie also wrote some commercial jingles, including one for an anti-depressive called Stabilify, a radio I.D., and static noise as Nora switches stations.

There are many valid reasons to use bamboo in construction
Between bamboo and structural steel, which one is stronger? Which one will perform better in case of a deep soil pile foundation? If left open without a protective coat, which will last longer? Which material is versatile enough for walls, columns, beams and floors?
The answer is bamboo. At an average tensile strength of 12,500 kg/sq. inch, it is 2,000 kg units more than that of steel. The stems of bamboo, popularly called poles and technically as culms, have been traditionally used for pile foundation in water-logged and loose top soil sites. Bamboo mats can be laid as foundation bed in case of soils with low load-bearing capacity. As a versatile material, it is good for both temporary and medium term usages, besides for long term, if designed and built properly.
While bamboo can be used as a single pole, it works equally well in groups and as a composite material. For transferring heavy loads, multiple numbers of culms, say 3 or 4, can be joined by nuts and bolts to act like a single column. Likewise, it is possible to form beam trusses in groups or in lattice formation. Of course, all the bamboo poles in such composite forms need to belong to the same species, of similar girth and be of comparable maturity of age.
In Kerala, lime concrete bamboo reinforced beams have been attempted since the late 1990s and in regular use since then at the Laurie Baker Centre. While stand alone use is feasible, bamboo gains more potential as part of a composite structure and reinforcement material.
Traditional walls
Traditional bamboo walls were made with woven bamboo mat and mortar coats on either sides, so that the bamboo is not exposed to any adverse weather. While lime and mud mortar goes better with the natural material, cement mortar can also be used. Subsequently, protective painting coats can be applied. Being 2 to 3 inch thick, they are light-weight, hence save on structures. If split bamboo culms are used, keep them to the outside with inside finished as desired. External silica-based skin of bamboo resists fire for a while, but can be improved by chemical coatings. Bamboo boards with split lengths and panel are very popular as visual barrier in semi-open spaces like verandahs and pavilions.
Roof supports by bamboo rafters are very commonly found even today. Thicker girth culms are used as ridge beams or wall beams, while the smaller diameter ones can go for principal rafters in sloping and cross beams in flat roofs. Their spacing may vary from 1 to 2 metres depending on context. Floor finish can be achieved by 1:6 ratio lime mud or cement mortar with topping by floor tiles and any other item of choice.

Stay healthy with a diet of jamuns, rambutans and mangosteens, available in plenty just next door
Ah…the taste. Refreshing, sweet and juicy. I relish the pearly white flesh of rambutan and smile. "It takes nearly 10 minutes to enjoy a single fruit," says K. Subramani as he arranges the decorative red fruits in a mound on his fruit cart near the Race Course corner.
Rambutan mimics lychee in taste and form. Once you peel the spiky red rubbery skin, you find a translucent oval fruit, firm and juicy. Subramani says rambutan helps control blood sugar levels. "Diabetics and those with blood pressure buy it regularly," he says.
Rambutan is seasonal and available from June to August. It comes from Barliyar, near Mettupalayam.
"People still go in for apples and oranges, which are imported and preserved. They are stale by the time they reach customers. Rambutans are fresh as they are locally grown. Sadly, many are still not aware of its health benefits."
Another purple mound on his cart catches my eye. That is mangosteen. I hold the fruit with both hands, pull out the fibrous skin and scoop up the juicy white flesh. It is delicious. "Mangosteen is cooling. It helps heal stomach ulcers and internal surgery wounds. Many doctors buy it regularly," says Subramani.
Subramani's day begins at the crack of dawn at the Town Hall market. Every single day, about 3,000 kg of mangosteens arrive from Tenkasi near Madurai. He supplies the mangosteens to about 50 carts and shops in Race Course, Raja Street, Ukkadam and Mettupalayam Road. Then, it's business as usual at his cart in Race Course, till 8 p.m. He also makes a powder out of the dried skin of mangosteen. This can be consumed with milk or curd, he says. The soft and crunchy seed of Rambutan can also be used in powder form with milk.
Then, there are jamuns, another seasonal fruit that comes from Andhra Pradesh. "Jamuns are always popular and the sweet-sour taste is a big hit among everyone. People now make juice with jamun pulp, salt and a squeeze of lemon. A lot of my customers substitute their morning tea with a drink made from jamun seed powder and warm water for a healthy start." An added attraction at his cart are plump guavas that have come all way from Ayakudi in Palani.
To know more, call Subramani at 96984-45453.
Rambutan (Rs.200 a kg), Mangosteen (Rs. 200 a kg) and Jamun (Rs. 240 a kg)
Where to find them
At the Race Course corner (opposite to Big Bazaar)
When available
Every year, the fruits are available only for three months. You will find them only from June to August
Keywords: jamuns, rambutans, mangosteens

Live coverage of the McDonnell trial
RICHMOND -- Federal prosecutors called their final witness in the corruption trial of former Governor Bob McDonnell and his wife Maureen on Thursday.
FBI Special Agent Kathryn Weber testified about the former first couple's schedules.
Weber compiled charts that were shown to the jury, which broke down the number of nights the couple stayed at the mansion together, traveled together and traveled apart in the 22-month span during which they allegedly conspired to take bribes from wealthy businessman Jonnie Williams.
According to the government's chart, the McDonnells spent 489 nights together at the mansion and 155 nights together outside of the mansion. Weber testified that, according to the pair's schedules, Bob McDonnell spent 65 nights outside of the mansion alone in that time frame and Maureen McDonnell traveled just 12 nights alone.
But John Brownlee, one of Bob McDonnell's lead defense attorneys, challenged the FBI's math during cross examination.
Brownlee first attacked the pie chart that Weber showed the jury, pointing out that it made it seem as if the McDonnells spent three quarters of their nights together at the mansion instead of two thirds, which the math showed. He next walked Weber through more than a dozen calendar days in which Bob McDonnell was scheduled to be out of the mansion until late in the event sometimes even midnight on campaign or government business.
On two of those nights, evidence showed, Maureen McDonnell was visited by Jonnie Williams.
Brownlee also asked Weber if she took into account the fact that Maureen McDonnell sometimes stayed at the couple's home in Glen Allen, a suburb of Richmond. Weber testified that she did not.
After Weber left the stand, lead prosecutor Michael Dry rested the government's case for a second time.
Jurors were dismissed for the day so that the attorneys could hash out several motions and then discuss the instructions that will be read to the jury before they begin deliberating.
Closing arguments will start first thing Friday morning. It is unclear if the jury will begin deliberations on Friday afternoon, right before the long Labor Day weekend, or if the judge will charge the jury so they can start deliberating on Tuesday when they get back.
Bob McDonnell seemed more relaxed leaving the courthouse late Thursday morning, surrounded by four of his five kids.
He said he forgives Jonnie Williams and recognized that everyone makes mistakes in their lives including him.
He said he was not worried whether or not the jury will find him innocent.
'I'm 60-year-old, I've done a lot of living,' McDonnell said. 'I've led an incredibly blessed life with the things that I've gotten to do and, uh, I've got confidence, as I said five weeks ago, in the judicial system. I've got amazing faith in God and my family and the ability of the jury to find the truth.'
13News Now reporter Nick Ochsner will be in the courtroom Friday morning for closing arguments and will be tweeting up dates throughout the day. Follow him on Twitter @13NickOchsner for the latest.

Steven Spielberg Hoping to Direct 'The 39 Clues'
NEW YORK – A multimedia, multiauthor narrative being planned by the U.S. publisher of the Harry Potter books has picked up a famous patron: Steven Spielberg.
DreamWorks Studios has acquired the film rights to "The 39 Clues," a mystery series-online game that Scholastic will debut in September. Spielberg, director of "Jaws,""Schindler's List" and the "Indiana Jones" films, says he's hoping to direct.
"'The 39 Clues' takes creative leaps to expand the story experience from the pages of the books to multiple stages of discovery and imagination," Spielberg said Wednesday in a joint statement issued by DreamWorks and Scholastic Media. "Together with Scholastic, we have the opportunity to develop this property that says 'film,' 'family,' 'fun' and 'franchise.'"
"The 39 Clues," which also features a set of 355 collectible cards, is a planned 10-book series about a powerful, mysterious family that lives in upstate New York. The first installment, "The Maze of Bones," was written by Rick Riordan.

Because I Said So: New Year's resolutions start small with kids
My husband, Warren, and I thought it would be fun to talk to our kids (Satchel, 6, and Jiro, 4) about their predictions, goals and resolutions for the new year. When first asked to make a prediction for 2009, Satchel said, "I'm going to get a BB gun." Jiro then added that he was going to get a Sonic the Hedgehog game for his new Nintendo DS. Clearly, eight days of Hanukkah combined with a visit from Santa had skewed their predictions.
I asked them to consider what might happen in the world in 2009. "Obama's going to do some good stuff," Satchel said. "Like what?" I asked. Relying on his vast knowledge of the "Star Wars" trilogies, he replied, "He's going to rebuild the Republic and bring peace!"
"How's he going to do that?" I asked. Jiro, who has a deep understanding of politics, quickly responded with, "By saying nice stuff."
Warren then asked the boys what they thought might happen in Memphis in 2009. "All of the prisoners will be let out of jail," Satchel said. (Don't worry, in his mind most of the visitors to 201 Poplar have refused to wear their seatbelts, finish their green beans or wear their heavy coats to school.)
"What about goals?" I asked. "I want to be a broom-maker by the time I'm 18," Satchel declared. (He met a broom-maker at the Pink Palace Crafts Fair.) While Warren and I were still processing this, he added, "I also want to be a video camera taper and make shows." Nodding in agreement, Jiro said, "I want to make 'Ghost Rider 3.'" (Warren pointed out that there wasn't yet a "Ghost Rider 2," so Jiro offered to make that, too.)
I suggested that they pick a smaller goal to strive for, something that could be achieved in one year. Satchel thought for a minute and said, "Get my green belt in Taekwondo." In a fit of giggles, Jiro, who was quickly losing interest in the conversation, said, "Use a napkin, not my sleeve!" (I must say this to him 100 times a day.)
Let's move on to resolutions, I suggested. "What are you going to do in 2009 to make yourself a better person?" I asked. "I'm going to work on my homework more," Satchel said. "Me, too," said Jiro. "And be good at school," Satchel added. "Me, too," said Jiro. "And obey the teachers," said Satchel. "Me, too," said Jiro. (Satchel's no dummy, he knows that his teachers read my column!)
Finally, I couldn't resist asking for their input on my resolutions. "Say and do nice stuff," Jiro suggested. "Do all of your work at work instead of home," Satchel added. I might need to reword that one to say, "Explain that blogging and checking e-mail isn't technically work." Unless, of course, I discover that Satchel just wants to do his "work" (i.e. playing with his Webkinz) on the computer.
"Oh, and use a napkin, not your sleeve!" Jiro said before once again erupting into giggles.

Comparison of the gene expression patterns of the human iPSC-derived epithelial stem cells with epithelial stem cells obtained from human hair follicles showed that the team had succeeded in producing the cells they set out to make in the first place. When they mixed those cells with mouse follicular inductive dermal cells and grafted them onto the skin of immunodeficient mice, they produced functional human epidermis (the outermost layers of skin cells) and follicles structurally similar to human hair follicles.
"This is the first time anyone has made scalable amounts of epithelial stem cells that are capable of generating the epithelial component of hair follicles," Xu says. And those cells have many potential applications, he adds, including wound healing, cosmetics, and hair regeneration.
That said, iPSC-derived epithelial stem cells are not yet ready for use in human subjects, Xu adds. First, a hair follicle contains epithelial cells -- a cell type that lines the body's vessels and cavities as well as a specific kind of adult stem cell called dermal papillae. Xu and his team mixed iPSC-derived EpSCs and mouse dermal cells to generate hair follicles to achieve the growth of the follicles.
"When a person loses hair, they lose both types of cells." Xu explains. "We have solved one major problem, the epithelial component of the hair follicle. We need to figure out a way to also make new dermal papillae cells, and no one has figured that part out yet."
What's more, the process Xu used to create iPSCs involves genetic modification of human cells with genes encoding oncogenic proteins and so needs more refinement. Still, he notes that stem-cell researchers are developing more workarounds, including strategies using only chemical agents.

The Veil Nebula Unveiled
December 6, 2005
These wisps of gas are all that remain visible of a Milky Way star. Many thousands of years ago that star exploded in a supernova leaving the Veil Nebula, pictured above.
At the time, the expanding cloud was likely as bright as a crescent Moon toward the constellation of Cygnus, visible for weeks to people living at the dawn of recorded history.
The supernova remnant lies about 1400 light-years away and covers over five times the size of the full Moon.
The above image of the Veil was made clearer by digitally dimming stars in the frame. The bright wisp at the top is known as the Witch's Broom Nebula and can be seen with a small telescope. The Veil Nebula is also known as the Cygnus Loop.

Artists have been known to draw song inspiration from the oddest of places and the most unexpected of people, but that isn't the case for Bronx native The Kid Daytona and his latest cut. Fresh off the release of August's, Booth-hosted Summer Games: The Kid with the Golden Pen, the Freestyle Series alum was inspired to pen his latest record in honor of former NBA All-Star and Hall of Famer George "The Ice Man" Gervin. Fittingly titled Ice Man, the record finds the emcee swapping bars with fellow emcee Smoke DZA as the coupling of artists partake in a little self-assured lyricism. Production from Matt MLB keeps Ice Man heavily head-nod-worthy as the beatsmith pairs vibrant bass with mellow strings. Although The Kid Daytona's latest offering isn't attached to any larger project, his last mixtape is still available for free stream and download on The DJBooth.

All R-RT or other sport tourers handle the twisties and stops better...most give much better weather protection
My hat is off to the real GS rider who uses the bike off road...but from my experience that is 1% maybe 5%
Agree, Where I live it seems more and more people are discovering that fact. Watching some of the European "Adventure bike tests" I always sit there wondering WTF are they doing.
Wouldn't an ?-RT. Connie, FJR make more sense, if all you are going to do is ride on sealed back roads to pubs/coffee shops?
Been a few places riding with an RT and apart from the ring puckering moments where lack of suspension travel meets erosion rut that wasn't seen in time, it's not a problem.
Unfortunately in OZ it gets a bit hot behind all that tupperware in Summer. Maybe BMW can release a bike that has push button Tupperware ejection.
As for 130HP. Keep that for the Tourers, I think a detuned Lower down torque version would make more sense on a GS. Maybe the 130HP won't be the GS/A variant at all. They may just decide to go for some range. It's all a trick I tell ya.

As a newbie in the "vegan eating world" – I am still amazed at how seemingly random ingredients come together to make a meaty flavor. This was the biggest shocker for me yet!
It's starting to seem somewhat normal that nuts make cheese flavors, but fish is not a flavor I expected to replicate. Truth be told – this is not even a recipe I would typically pick – I'm was never a huge fan of cooked fish in any form.
Today, I became a BIG fan of the flavor. From my perspective, this is better than the original tuna salad sandwich. This recipe, playfully titled Hold The Tuna, was created by Allison Rivers Samson, originally published in her VegNews Magazine column, "VeganizeIt!".
I made these sandwiches last night and they came together in less than 30 minutes. This was especially appreciated since it was about 10PM before I had a chance to prepare them!
Preparation was a snap, the most time was spent on me smashing the chickpeas. A little chopping and mixing later, tuna salad emerged. As I taste-tested these I was SHOCKED – how could this be? The flavor is rich and has that just-fishy flavor of tuna (the Nori Flakes must pass on that flavor).
As I was enjoying this at lunch today, I tried to explain to my non-veggie co-workers what I was eating and definitely got some strange looks. I guess they still can't picture how veggies & spices come together to form fishy flavors – maybe I'll share a bite with them sometime. Not today – this was ALL mine!

Just because he felt he had superior knowledge than the Captain? None of that would justify taking over the boat and mutinying.
RD has ridiculed the Captain and BTW his self professed attitude to those who own boats by his own statements in this thread and others.
Did you ever think maybe that's why the CG recommended what they did and didn't get involved. Lots of accusations, rants and threats by Rockdawg....against the owner and his business, against the race organizers of the Transpac, against the Coast Guard. Yet nothing being done but airing it here. Sounds like a paper tiger.
Strange wonder why?

Following up on previous posts, I wanted to point out how sometimes a food is positioned as being positive when it really is just "less bad" than other foods.
For example, many of the saturated-fat-is-good crowd refer to this study . Some claim this study shows that consumption of saturated fat reduces heart disease.
But read carefully! It says: "saturated fat intake is associated with less progression of coronary atherosclerosis". That means it's still progressing, but just at a slower rate. This is not the same as no progression or reversal.
I've been seeing the same thing in regards to red palm oil. One study showed red palm oil is "less atherogenic than coconut oil". But this is just a backwards way of saying that it does promote atherosclerosis, but again just at a slower rate!
Just because something is "less bad" does not make it good!

Afzal Kahn turns down six million pound offer for F1 license plate - report
Originally bought it for 440,625 pounds
How much would you pay to own Britain's highly prized "F1" license plate? £100,000? £500,000? Try £6,000,000 but even that wasn't enough to temp Afzal Kahn - from A Kahn Design - who currently uses the plate on his Bugatti Veyron.
According to the Daily Mail, Kahn declined the offer despite having only paid £440,625 ($685,745 / €512,700) for the plate back in 2008. Had he sold the plate, he would have made a healthy profit of about £5.5 ($8.6 / €6.4) million.
When asked about the offer, a spokesperson said "We have received a significant multi-million pound offer for the F1 plate which we rejected out of hand." The representative added "Mr Kahn has no interest in selling F1, which is his favorite plate."

The guy spent half a million on a silly license plate to begin with, he obviously does not give a sh!t about money, we should not waste any time reading this.
Sep 5, 2013 10:40 am
It's obviously become quite costly to be dumb these days. I've got high tolerance but this is truly sad. Who offers that sum for such an item. What, did God dress his/her Mercedes with this very plate?! Replicate the damn thing and call it/get a life.
Aug 24, 2013 10:48 pm
Does Kahn have any involvement in F1? Makes no sense on a car/brand that has never participated in F1, and is not an unbroken continuation of the brand that once competed during the 'Grand Prix' days. If Frank Williams or Ron Dennis had it on a car I could understand.....

Aug 24, 2013 4:52 am
It's mind boggling. A piece of plastic with some printed letters on it worth £6,000,000. Who offers that, and who rejects it?! It's just a number plate. That sort of money could buy a whole lotta car with far greater value.
Aug 24, 2013 4:29 am
where i come from, you can get a custom plate made and keep it for $100 a year....
Aug 24, 2013 3:28 am
I agreem Why not just have his own one custom made?!
Aug 24, 2013 5:03 am
Its not about the price of making a custom plate. Thats easy. He has the ownership of that plate number in all of UK. No one else can have a car with plate number F1 on it and drive on the road legally. If u look up F1 in the police records in UK that plate belongs to this guy on that car. U cant have more than 1 car in the UK the same plate number.

It looks like he uses his F1 plate on an SLR, not Veyron.

Aug 25, 2013 11:07 pm
I would have accepted it, bought an old F1 car with my profits and then I would have the real deal instead of posing it on a car.
Aug 23, 2013 2:31 pm
So there are two crazy rich people in this story. One who makes a crazy offer, and the other who's crazy enough not to accept it.
Aug 23, 2013 1:46 pm
I would accept, run off with cash and still keep the F1 place.

Environmental groups have warned directors of fossil fuel companies that they may be held personally liable for misleading the public about climate change.
Big Carbon is where Big Tobacco was, before it started losing.
The Bush Administration has so politicized government agencies that an entire culture of civil service professionals is being replaced by
conservative political operatives loyal only to the White House.
Click here to read Zegart's October 25, 2004 Nation piece to read more on the right wing's drive for tort "reform."
Thanks to damage caps and other measures, victims are often unable to sue.
While the differences between George W. Bush and Al Gore may still be coming into focus for many Americans in the final weeks before the election, one is already stark. On tobacco, the leading cause of preventable death in America, Bush would return the nation to the failed laissez-faire attitudes of the past. A Gore administration could be expected to continue the course charted by President Clinton, the first truly anti-tobacco President.
Indeed, a Bush administration would solve so many of tobacco's problems that the Texan is virtually one-stop shopping for an industry that has drenched his campaign with cash. For one thing, he'd change the civil justice system. Clinton vetoed tort reform bills, but Bush has made such "reform" a keystone of his proposed social policy and points with pride to his record in Texas--in 1995 he placed draconian restrictions on the right to sue. Bush would help mitigate the fallout from the recent $145 billion verdict in the Engle lawsuit--the Miami class action on behalf of thousands of Floridians sickened by cigarettes--by signing a bill pending in Congress that would send all class actions to federal court. There, Engle would be decertified, downgraded into a handful of individual lawsuits, long before trial by a federal system hostile to tobacco class actions.
As to regulating cigarettes, Bush would likely work with a Republican Congress to enact a "compromise" regulation law, limiting some forms of tobacco marketing and granting toothless federal oversight in return for liability limits and giving tobacco a seat at the table of any regulatory process. Bill Clinton was the first President to make the regulation of tobacco one of his signature policy initiatives. Although the Supreme Court ultimately shot down Food and Drug Administration oversight of cigarettes, Clinton used the bully pulpit of the presidency to put tobacco on the national agenda in a way it had never been before, fulminating against the industry for peddling nicotine to children.
Bush's record indicates he would pay lip service to keeping kids off cigarettes but would put much more energy into vilifying plaintiffs' lawyers for getting rich from lawsuits that attack the industry for targeting children. Bush has pledged to kill off a multibillion-dollar RICO action by the Justice Department that charges that the cigarette companies concealed their product's deadliness, and he would likely rescind or stymie numerous Clinton executive orders, nascent regulations and programs dealing with everything from secondhand smoke to funding research on Big Tobacco's internal documents.
Finally, Bush would be likely to back incursions by domestic cigarette makers into foreign markets. He would be much less disposed to sign on to a proposed World Health Organization treaty on tobacco and health and very prone to weaken it, to the benefit of a global tobacco industry now menacing Asia, and to the detriment of millions of potential new smokers who will become victims of cigarette-related disease.

|Wikimedia Commons: Hinckley, Illinois
Hinckley is a village in Squaw Grove Township, DeKalb County, Illinois, United States. The population was 2,070 at the 2010 census, up from 1,994 at the 2000 census.
The Village of Hinckley has a memorable history. In the 1830s, a Mr. Hollenbeck (who lived near Ottawa) was traveling the then-unsettled territory. He found a fine grove of trees west of the present-day Hinckley, and named the grove after the Native American women who were tending camp.
Back in Ottawa, word spread of the undeveloped land, and in the spring of 1835, John Sebree built a log house. The next year saw more families come to the area and soon a small town was started at the west edge of what is now Hinckley. The town's name was Squaw Grove.
Hinckley was conceived in the 1870s as the brainchild of Francis Hinckley, president of the Chicago and Iowa Railroad. The rail line was placed one-half mile east of the Village of Squaw Grove, which was then named Hinckley.
From this early birth, much change and innovation would come to Hinckley. Some key dates follow: Methodist Church (1835), first store (1872), Hinckley has 20 businesses (1876), St. Paul's Church (1885), volunteer fire brigade organized (1886), tornado destroys most of village (1889).[1]
On January 7, 1927, the Harlem Globetrotters played their first road game in Hinckley before a crowd of 300. [2]
Hinckley-Big Rock Community Unit School District #429 [3] operates 3 schools.
Hinckley-Big Rock Elementary School is located on the westside of Hinckley on US HWY 30.
Hinckley-Big Rock Middle School is located in the center of Big Rock on US HWY 30.
Hinckley-Big Rock High School is located on the eastside of Hinckley on US HWY 30.
Hinckley is located at 41°46′17″N 88°38′26″W / 41.77139°N 88.64056°W (41.771389, -88.640526).[1]
According to the 2010 census, the village has a total area of 0.85 square miles (2.2 km2), of which 0.84 square miles (2.2 km2) (or 98.82%) is land and 0.01 square miles (0.026 km2) (or 1.18%) is water.[2]
As of the census[3] of 2000, there were 1,994 people, 730 households, and 556 families residing in the village. The population density was 2,100.7 people per square mile (810.4/km²). There were 761 housing units at an average density of 801.7 per square mile (309.3/km²). The racial makeup of the village was 90.69% White, 1.80% African American, 0.20% Native American, 1.30% Asian, 0.60% from other races, and 1.10% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 5.51% of the population.
There were 730 households out of which 38.9% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 65.8% were married couples living together, 7.3% had a female householder with no husband present, and 23.8% were non-nuclear families. 18.6% of all households were made up of individuals and 7.5% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.73 and the average family size was 3.14.
In the village the population was spread out with 28.9% under the age of 18, 6.6% from 18 to 24, 33.5% from 25 to 44, 21.2% from 45 to 64, and 9.8% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 35 years. For every 100 females there were 99.2 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 95.2 males.
The median income for a household in the village was $58,043, and the median income for a family was $65,726. Males had a median income of $45,179 versus $27,500 for females. The per capita income for the village was $23,491. About 3.8% of families and 4.4% of the population were below the poverty line, including 5.0% of those under age 18 and 5.1% of those age 65 or over.
Historical highlights[edit]
Hinckley was home to the first Harlem Globetrotters away game on January 7, 1927.[4]
In 1981, Hinckley served as stand-in for fictional North Crawford in Jonathan Demme's film adaptation of Who Am I This Time? by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr..[5] Christopher Walken and Susan Sarandon portray two painfully shy people who find one another through a community theater production of "A Streetcar Named Desire", in which they portray the tempestuous Stanley and Stella Kowalski.

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
Almost all legal documents which form the backbone of lending have an applicable state law statute of limitation period after which the holder's or lender's rights under the document expire.
The best example of this is a promissory note or similar negotiable instrument. The statute of limitation period is established by each individual state. The parties cannot "contract around" the statute of limitation period.
It has been recognized for many, many years that the time period within which a promissory note is enforceable must have a set and determinate period of time once the note matures or there is a payment default. Thus, individual states have different statute of limitation periods within which the holder of the promissory note must act through the institution of litigation, acknowledgment by maker, receipt of payment, or other similar events. If you fail to act within the statute of limitation period, the promissory note and the obligation it represents are extinguished.
Thus, a statute of limitations is a time period (and time is not on your side) within which you have to enforce your rights.
I thought a few quotes would highlight this problem.
"Yesterday is a cancelled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have--so spend it wisely."
--Kay Lyons1
"Never put off till tomorrow…what you can do the day after tomorrow."
--Mark Twain2
"Yesterday is a cancelled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have--so spend it wisely."
--Kay Lyons1
"Never put off till tomorrow…what you can do the day after tomorrow."
--Mark Twain2
By way of example, the statute of limitation periods for enforcement of promissory notes in the states of Alabama, Arkansas and Florida are as follows:
Future blogs will provide the statute of limitation periods for collection on a promissory note for the states of Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.

I was very happy with my purchase! Excellent quality and very fast delivery.
I would recommend this business to anyone. They were very professional and the product is of high quality !
Wonderful Product
I could not be more happy with our Save the Dates! They turned out perfect! I will definitely be using MagnetStreet for our invitations!
We loved this design, and the personalization options were endless. We were able to change the color to our wedding colors, and even changed the skin color of the bride (I'm asian/pacific islander)! Pretty awesome!
Love the Marines design
I love the design and color scheme on my save the dates. The only downside is that I thought these were going to be actual postcards and the paper was thicker than I anticipated. It's fine but it lost the charm of an actual postcard :/
Amazing quality
The postcards are wonderful! The only negative thing I have to say is that they are not standard postcard size and they will need standard envelope postage. I wish I had known that prior to purchasing.

DIY is possible, but materials alone are going to be a couple grand. From what I've read the proess won't be fun. Good luck
here's a recent one of mine i've been whoring out lately. a bit dirty along the lower edge because it sits in stained water from Memorial weekend until late October. but when the boat comes out i take 3-4 days to clean the stain off and it looks brand new. i couldnt live with myself if it sat on the trailer each winter with a green stain on the hull
and a video for fun:

Our family recently had to put down our dog beagle after she got cancer. I used a photo of her and made this with my vinyl machine to make this name for the center console.
We finally got it in the water today and tested out the new tabs and sounder. They both work great. What a huge difference trim tabs make on a boat this size at speed. The reaction is instant, I was leaning it over pretty deep with all the weight in the center.
The water level is way down right now and our area of the Clinton River looks terrible. I can't even launch the waverunner off our floating dock right now due to growth.

haha, good idea. Still need to watch that movie.
Didn't realize this forum existed.
But, now that I do, here's my contribution..

I also have a MX-Ray.
Both of which are for sale.

Split with my father, who now lives in SC and comes up this way once in a blue moon. Probably going up for sale in the spring for something half the size. I want to enjoy boating a little more and being that I'm the one responsible for everything and everyone (My friends don't know the first thing about boating) this thing's just a little much. For the record, we got the boat used and did not come up with the douchey "liquid asset" name. Never changed it though. Too superstitious for that *shudders*
Also have this little guy for tubing and whatnot. It's not the turbo, but it gets the job done and has been VERY reliable after lots of hard use.
Geoff that little sailboat is STUNNING. I've never heard of them or seen them until this thread. Too bad I'm landlocked or I would be spending my time looking for one.

Here is the 2005 Cobalt 200 that I picked up last year:
2000 Toyota MR2 Spyder, Absolutely Red/Black, 5spd
2005 Acura TSX, Carbon Grey Pearl/Quartz, Sportshift
2013 Ford Focus ST, Oxford White/Charcoal Black, ST3
I don't see a VW in your sig.... I guess back in 2000 things were different.
I can't wait to get my boat in the water in a month or so.
Keel boats simply don't back well. None of them.
The Grady is all loaded up and making the slow trek north back to the Bay from her winter home in Florida. She'll splash tomorrow.
