RE: Luxury bus from Nuevo Laredo
I'd like to add information about the bus service to san miguel from laredo.
I talked with the ones that leave from Nuevo Laredo. I also talked with Greyhound and they were totally not helpful. However, there are two lines at least that leave from Laredo, Texas and go to San Miguel.
Bus to San Miguel-
Americanos leaves from its station at 801 San Bernando in Laredo, at 6:30 p.m. They will sell you tickets to San Miguel after the bus arrives from its Northern origins if it arrives with seats available. You won't know until close to 6 p.m. whether there is room for you. Price was60 one way heading South.
Get pesos while you are still in Laredo. You will need them.
Parking overnight at the Greyhound high rise parking garage (just a few blocks from the Americanos station) was10 per night in March of 2005.
Bus stopped at the border and waited for everyone to get their paperwork done for going into Mexico. This paperwork costs money, so be prepared.
Drivers were careful to check to make sure everyone was on board after every stop. Seats were comfy, but not as good as the ETN bus which does not come this far North. Bus has curtains so you can block out the city lights as needed. They play a movie first. They played the radio constantly after the movie was over, and raised the volume louder at 3 a.m. Ear plugs came in handy. They stopped in Monterrey, Matehuala, and San Luis Potosi for bathroom breaks, though the on board bathroom was ok. The bus station bathrooms charge about 3 pesos in coin, so have the correct change. You can change dollars to pesos in Laredo even on Saturday. The bus stations have snack vendors for quick purchases. On all the buses we took, the lights come on when the door is opened. Eye shades would have been handy for sleeping. Drivers and helpers were very cordial and polite. Arrives San Miguel at the Central Camionera between 7 and 8 a.m. Taxis are waiting at the station. Phones for Americanos: in San Miguel: 011- 52- 415- 154-8233. They can give you the number for the station in Laredo.
Transportes San Miguel: We took this bus from San Miguel to Laredo, TX, for50 one way. They do sell advance tickets and have assigned numbered seats. Comfort level was same as Americanos, but they refrained from the loud radio most of the night, though they did turn it on at the magic hour of 3 a.m. They also handed out complimentary soft drinks at the start of the trip. We left San Miguel at 6 p.m. and arrived in Laredo, TX at 5 a.m. There were fewer stops- just a few pick up spots, but none long enough to get off and use the restroom in a station. They did not go into Monterrey or Matehuala. They did stop for a restroom break in a roadside rest area, with clean bathrooms that did not charge, just an hour or so before arriving in Laredo. If you are getting off in Laredo, you just walk from the customs inspection station. It is just 4 blocks or less to the Greyhound station, which you need to know if that is where you left your car. Greyhound station parking lot will not open until 7 a.m. – you can go in and put your luggage in your car, but you cannot drive out til 7. Phone for Transportes San Miguel is 011-52-415- 154-7540 in San Miguel. Their office is in the same shopping center as Gigante supermarket, in Plaza Real del Conde.

Those are great examples of why I stay single.
"Hopping Mad" story was featured on The Late Show with David Letterman segment "Small Town News" on 7/29/2013
The kids thought they were at the Loft Theatre.
These three guys were disrespectful towards Police and I do not go for that. Concerning the issue that soldiers that went to Iraq fought to preserve freedom here in the US, there is not really much logic to that statement. I think we can calmly discuss what those soldiers did in Iraq. Protecting US citizens or protecting Constitutional Freedoms is not what those soldiers did. There is a group that is named "Iraq Veterans against the War". I suggest you find some of the reports these veterans have made after returning from Iraq. Perhaps when you hear the actual veterans from that war speak your idea about what happened will change.
PVK is right. You can be driving under the influence with a .06 BAC. Journalists must get this straight.
The .08 "limit" is nothing more than the level at which intoxication is legally presumed. A cop does not have to provide any evidence other than the lawfully-obtained .08 reading to establish the legal presumption of drunken driving. This presumption can be rebutted (faulty equipment, etc.)
It is just flat incorrect to say there is a .08 legal limit for BAC.
Nope. Has to be in the print edition of Police Dispatch. It has that toothless-redneck, rock-bottom hitting, substance-abused cache of shame.
Yes Bob: The extensive blog post wasn't enough for you?
Cunningham's Chief of Staff is notably absent here.
Anna, I have to take issue with your statement - "A breath test showed he had a blood-alcohol content of .232 percent, nearly three times the legal limit.". This implies that there IS a legal limit. There isn't! In Arizona, There IS no legal limit!!!! This is a ZERO tolerance state. ANY amount of alcohol CAN get you arrested. The "slightest degree" category of DUI is anything up to .079, and your arrest is at the officer's discretion. From .08 to .149 is regular DUI, and .150 on up is DUI extreme.
These are the best you could do? Plenty more crime going on around here than these two stories. Maybe you guys aren't into investigative reporting
So give the pooping man the pain medication he asked for the first time.
No First Amendment right issue whatsoever in this case. The government did nothing to interfere with this person expressing his views.
And so goes the First Amendment. As a U of A grad, I saw first hand that any position other than the left and far left was not allowed on campus.
Uhhh, I believe you're correct. I meant 0.04%. Since I'm still alive to write that, I surmise that you knew that already. Thanks for the correction. I hate typos.
Uhhh, I believe a BAC of 0.4% is legally dead!
Since when, has Arizona had an 0.08 alcohol limit? This is a "zero tolerance" state, and has been for some time. I know this from personal experience, having spent the night in Pima County jail for having a blood alcohol content of 0.40. Is the U of A campus somehow exempt from this law?
Note to self: Sex with a crack ho is a bad idea.
Only in Tucson..... Classic!
I dont even want to know the goings in in that goat corral...
sounds like the first guy got "Damone'd"
(see fast times at ridgemont high)
As for the second guy that "police's aide" sounds like a weenie. If that frightened her she better not ever become a real cop.

Big crocodile takes swimmer in Australian river
More News from Associated Press
DARWIN, Australia – A 5-meter (16-foot) crocodile snatched a 26-year-old swimmer in a notorious Australian river as several people celebrating a friend's birthday watched, police said.
The victim and another man crossed the Mary River and were swimming back when the crocodile attacked, Senior Sergeant Geoff Bahnert said.
"Several of the group in the party witnessed the male being taken in the jaws of the croc for a period of time, and then he was out of sight," he said.
The group had been celebrating a friend's 30th birthday on Saturday at the Mary River Wilderness Retreat, an Outback tourist destination 70 miles (110 kilometers) southeast of the Northern Territory capital Darwin.
The victim was from Darwin, but his name was not released.
Police and a government crocodile management team were searching for the man's remains, including dragging the river, Bahnert said Sunday. An officer shot one of the largest crocodiles there for the safety of searchers, but it was not yet known if it was the killer crocodile.
Alcohol may have played a part in the men's decision to swim, he said.
"The Mary River is known worldwide to have the greatest saturation of adult saltwater crocodiles in the world. You don't swim in the Mary River," Bahnert said.
Crocodile numbers have exploded across Australia's tropical north since the species was protected by federal law in 1971. The crocodile population is densest in the Northern Territory and is promoted as a major tourist attraction.
"The advice to tourists is to come, look, take photographs and stay out of the water," Bahnert said.

The RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme Press has been designed specifically for heavy-duty reloading, case forming, and bullet swaging. It is engineered to handle the largest and longest magnums down to .17 caliber. The compound leverage system of the Rock Chucker Supreme Press can full-length resize cases with less effort than other presses neck size. Using RCBS Case Forming Dies this press will form .30-06 cases into many other calibers. By combining the famous RCBS block "O" frame with the compound leverage system, the Rock Chucker Supreme will develop work pressure that would spring other presses out of alignment. To insure alignment under these pressures, the Rock Chucker press frame provides a full four inches of ram-bearing surface to rigidly support the one inch diameter main ram. The compound leverage action is similar to that of a power punch press. As the handle pressure increases, the leverage is compounded, building up a maximum work pressure in the main ram as it travels the full length of the stroke. The toggle block, links and pins are engineered to withstand the punishment of heavy-duty reloading. The handle is made of solid steel and features a comfortable ball-type handle grip. The Rock Chucker Supreme Press has standard 7/8-14 thread for most popular reloading dies and accessories. Kit includes: Press, handle, primer catcher, handle nut, Primer Arm, large and small primer plugs and sleeves, and coil spring.

Vermont teen dies in culvert crashJuly 30,2013JERICHO Vermont State Police said a motorist was killed when his van veered off a road, crashed into a metal culvert and slid on its side into a utility pole in the town of Jericho.
Police said emergency crews had to use extrication equipment to free 17-year-old Elijah Davis of Jericho, who was pronounced dead at the scene early Sunday.
Police said the van was traveling west on Route 15 in Jericho shortly after midnight when the vehicle left the road while approaching an intersection with Raceway Road. Police said it hit the metal drainage culvert head-on.

REGION: Crusader against hate, anti-Semitism retiring
Friends, colleagues praise Casuto's work at Anti-Defamation League
After nearly four decades fighting discrimination, anti-Semitism and hate, Morris Casuto will retire this month.
As regional director of the Anti-Defamation League in San Diego, Casuto faced off against the likes of white supremacist Tom Metzger, who formerly lived in Fallbrook. Casuto also developed strong partnerships among law enforcement agencies, religious groups and civil and human rights groups in the county.
Sitting in his Mission Valley office last week, Casuto, 68, talked with humor and humility about his work and his pending retirement. The Anti-Defamation League was founded in 1913 to stop the defamation of Jewish people and promote civil rights for all.
"I thought that after 37 years, it's probably time to try something new," said Casuto, who has an easy smile and a cheerful face.
Even though he said he gave the organization two years' notice, a successor has not been announced.
A gold watch ceremony will be held in his honor Oct. 17, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
Casuto, who works in a simple office with a few mementos and awards adorning the walls, said he would like to travel, do volunteer work and "see if I can wean myself off of waking up at 3 o'clock in the morning."
"I'm going to miss the work terribly," Casuto said. "I love what we do. I fear that I might become a Dalmatian sitting outside the firehouse and jumping up and running after fire engines, but I don't think that will happen."
Under his leadership, the Anti-Defamation League office in San Diego implemented anti-discrimination educational programs, such as the Miller Early Childhood Initiative and No Place for Hate. He also developed the Manhigim Institute, a leadership program for Jewish teens.
Casuto opened the office in 1978 after working with the league in Washington, D.C., Columbus, Ohio, and Indianapolis.
A serious job
Casuto, a native of the Bronx, N.Y., often uses self-deprecating humor, including referencing his 5-foot-6-inch frame, to defuse difficult situations and to make up for his lack of physical presence.
"I make jokes of things," Casuto said. "And I take my job very seriously, but sometimes people just have to be a little loose."
Casuto said he discovered the work he loves almost by accident.
In the early 1970s, Casuto, a Fulbright scholar, was headed toward a life in academia. He had just finished a year of research in Indonesia and was completing his doctorate when he met the Washington director of the ADL.
The director asked Casuto if he was looking for a job.
"I was flown to New York," Casuto said. "The interview lasted all of 15 minutes, and I decided that I had aced it or they didn't want to waste their time on me."
A short time later, Casuto was headed to Ohio. There, he found his work more exciting than his doctoral thesis, which was on the Indonesian military.
Casuto now lives in San Diego with his wife of 40 years, Doreen. The couple have two grown children, Loren and Simon.

There once was a group of Christians in America that had a vision to change the lives of people in need. They started a ministry that empowered these people to take control of their lives by learning and practicing key Biblical principles. The people they helped became successful and gave millions to the cause. The cause turned into CAMP EDEN: a multi-functional Christian center where potential is cultivated and true prosperity is achieved. People from every background come here to learn, fellowship, volunteer, get inspired, and become empowered. The camp's core users are those who come to learn the Word of God and understand how to apply it to their lives in order to develop self-sufficiency and achieve prosperity. These users enroll in the 9-month training program and either live at the camp or commute while taking classes. In addition to these users, others include counselors, staff, visitors, and children. All users are involved in different public and private areas of the camp depending on their reason for coming. The goal for the environment of CAMP EDEN is to help cultivate the potential within every person who sets foot within its boundaries.

My solution was to use the concept of gradiation to separate public and private areas with semi-public transition zones while taking advantage of the architectural boundaries already provided by the existing character of the shell. putting the program into the shell After delegating public and private areas to their respective parts of the building, I had to remember the goals of the client of standing out and attracting. In order for the activity of the facility to stand out, transparency of the building's facade had to be achieved. The existing facade was very closed and private. I proposed opening up the facade with glazing and populating the front with the most public spaces of the program. This produced activity up front which would easily attract visitors, thereby accomplishing two goals of the client. Phase 2: exhibition and attraction *Site model generated using FormZ Taking cues from the site's context and the spirit of CAMP EDEN's mission, the first round of conceptual thinking centered around CAMP EDEN being this living thing growing through the cracks of a "dead" environment. The entry experience became a transition from the concrete jungle outside to the interior oasis thriving within. Considering the use of innovative materials inspired by the camp's mission was also a priority.

Although it was attractive and used innovative materials, it was not yet thoroughly exhibiting the great things the camp had to offer. The challenge was to exhibit this Christian ministry in a way that wasn't expected. I had to find a voice for this ministry that wasn't confined to the walls of conventional religious ornamentation but that would be true to its ideals, foundation, and goals. The client knew they didn't want to see crosses and stained glass, they just didn't know what they did want to see. I had to find that for them.

"It gives me confidence that moving forward, not only are we going to be able to improve our bilateral relations, but as we work together, we're going to be able to, I think, share a set of strategies that can bridge the divide between the Muslim world and the West. That can make us more prosperous and secure."
Earlier today, Obama sidestepped a question about his views on the sensitive topic of whether Turkey should recognize the accusation that the Ottoman Empire committed genocide against the Armenian people during and after World War I.
During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama said, "The Armenian genocide is not an allegation" and supported the passage of a congressional resolution recognizing the Armenian genocide.
Obama was asked today whether he had changed his stance and whether he urged Gul to acknowledge the genocide.
"My views are on the record and I have not changed my views," the president said, avoiding the word "genocide."
"What I have been very encouraged by is news that under President Gul's leadership, you are seeing a series of negotiations, a process, in place between Armenia and Turkey to resolve a whole host of longstanding issues, including this one."
In his speech to parliament, Obama said it was not about his views, but how the Turkish and Armenian people "deal with the past."
"The best way forward for the Turkish and Armenian people is a process that works through the past in a way that is honest, open and constructive," he said.
Obama said the United States "strongly supports" Turkey's bid to join the European Union, a statement that earned him a round of applause from the members of parliament.
Obama took a moment to express his condolences for the victims of the earthquake in Italy.
"We just heard the news of the earthquake in Italy and we want to send our condolences to the families there and hope that we are able to get the rescue teams and that we can minimize the damage as much as possible moving forward," the president said.
Earlier today, Obama placed a wreath at the tomb of Mustafa Kamal Ataturk, the founder and first president of the Turkish Republic, inside the Ataturk mausoleum and signed the guest book.
Obama, who is left-handed, held notes in his right hand as he signed the guest book.
He wrote:
"I am honored to pay tribute to Mustafa Kamal Ataturk, a man who vision, tenacity and courage put the Republic of Turkey on the path of democracy and whose legacy continues to inspire generations around the world. As the 44th president of the United States of America, I look forward to strengthening relations between the U.S. and Turkey and supporting Ataturk's vision of Turkey as a…prosperous democracy giving hope to its people and providing 'peace at home, peace in the world.'"
He signed the note "Barack Obama."
ABC News' Stephanie Smith contributed to this report.

grand theater with the most perfect acoustics oozeing with remarkable performers a true date with my dreams. some people have said expensive but what is the price for true beauty?!
A classical theatre, if you are there, do not miss seeing. But the prices are high, consistent with the cost of living in Geneva.
I went to watch a russian opera or something of a weird gender... not bad but it was hard to get the whole thing while you hear russian monologues, listen to classical music and try to read the monologue in french. The theater is great though... great acoustic and details. Try to buy in advance. Prices may go from 60CHF...
Close to Parc des Bastions, large theatre with very good acoustic qualities. The Season program is very good with some remarkable performers. The Orchestre de ls Suisse Romande, with many talented musicians provides the music.
If you are in Geneva mid September it's the beginning of the season and you might find a performance at your taste, opera, concert. Expensiive but good value for money.
Went there to see an opera in April - it was very expensive for what it was (good, but not exceptionally so) - on par or even perhaps more expensive than Paris, Milan and London (depends on the night). The owners have made a lot of effort to improve the venue in terms of repertoire and casting - and it's...
As usual, the Grand Théâtre fails in its ability to have a consistent high standard. Das Reingold had wonderful scenery, great staging but let itself down with some voices that were just not quite up to standard and some rather out of tune playing in the brass section. Then, when the 6 golden harps appeared on stage at the end...
You are never disappointed at the Grand Théâtre. The Opera House has an amazing accoustics and usually brings some of the world best performers and pays a lot of attention to scenic arrangements. You can book along your ticket your dinner at their restaurant, but another way is just to sip some champagne in the upper floor gallery which is...
Really high quality ballets, concerts and operas. Operas are subtitled in French and English. Usually fully booked several weeks in advance, think about buying your tickets online.
Went to see a show and thought I would be sitting through 3 hours of French lyrics trying to guess at the plotline. To my surprise they have a screen above the stage displaying the lyrics being sung in both French and English, an absolutely wonderful idea,
I would recommend it for a night out though the tickets are VERY...

Competing democratization theories analyze various factors—such as economic development, history, culture, or elite inclination—to determine the propensity of a particular state to become democratic. Each of these theories has distinct policy implications for external democracy promoters. Ryan Kennedy suggested another factor, based on social identity theory, which posits that diplomacy figures much more prominently in democracy promotion than current practice would suggest.
10th Annual Czech and Slovak Freedom Lecture: Commemorating the 20th Anniversary of the Velvet Revolution

Mirek Topolanek remarked that, at the 20th anniversary of the Velvet Revolution, the democratic development of the Czech Republic is entering uncharted territory. To date, the Czech Republic and Slovakia have been governed democratically for a record 20 years. Although the legend of Tomas Masaryk is often remembered as the golden age of democratic thought, the first and second republics proved to be only an intermediate step to the authoritarian Communist period. "Twenty years is just the 'half time,'" Topolanek argued, and the next two decades should be spent ensuring that the new generations continue to appreciate the sacrifices their parents made for freedom and democracy.

Incredible Hulk Looking For Soul Mate
Hello Ladies, I am looking for a sweetheart to reply to this posting. Must meet one of the following requirements: - Be under 99 years old and reside somewhere near San Diego North County because I can't walk too far to visit you. My bat mobile's tires are almost bald. - Looks and weight do not matter much as long as you are less than 300 pounds. Otherwise, I may get crushed in bed. I am not picky in this department, just trying to survive. - Must be able to cook more than just a PB&J sandwich. - Be able to hold a steady job because I plan to smooch off your take home pay. - No taller than 5 feet because my kitchen stepping stool was stolen last week. I can't reach your lips without the stool. - Please no snorers or talking in your sleep. I can manage that on my own. - Must be a great kisser. My old high school sweetheart was the best. She kissed with so much passion and force that it left a white ring around my mouth, much like an encounter with a toilet plunger. About me: - I live in a large and highly secure facility with chauffeur in a large bus for my outings. After our first date, I plan to move in with you sweetie pie, pending my parole date. - Despite my age, I am extremely fit and able to swim more than 10 laps in my sauna. - Excel in multiple sports including Dutch Oven. - Life member of Branch Davidian; however, I do not attend church much anymore since the ATF attack. - Well educated and traveled. I have been to traffic school and the Escondido swap meet so many times to keep count. Our First Date: Hope you live near the Sprinter or NCTD bus route. I'll pick you up and we'll head to the San Marcos Costco for dinner. Please be prompt because the sample food stalls may run out. We'll circle the place until full and walk over to WalMart for the Red Box DVD rental. We'll cuddle up in front of our big screen (Pay no attention to the shoppers. They are just jealous). After the romantic movie, we'll hop back on the Sprinter for a lovely walk on the Oceanside beach. It may take us a while to get there due to hop on/hop off to avoid the annoying ticket checker. If caught, just pretend you are mentally unstable, stare into empty space and sing Alouette, gentille Alouette. If you are still hungry, the O'side pier is full of leftover sushi that we could enjoy. Remember to bring a pocket knife to get all the fish of the wooden railings. Hope to hear from you soon pumpkin. Love, hugs and kisses 3.

All it needs to live again is fresh blood! Myles Carver is dead. But his estate, Watermere, lives on, waiting for a new Carver to move in. Myles's wife, Annabel, is dead too, but she is also waiting, lying in her grave in the woods. For nearly half a century she was responsible for a nightmarish reign of terror, and she's not prepared to stop now. She is hungry to live again?and her unsuspecting nephew, Paul, will be the key. Julia Merrow has a secret almost as dark as Watermere's. But when she and Paul fall in love they think their problems might be over. How can they know what Fate--and Annabel--have in store for them?

Crazy Taxi is one of the most played games in arcades. Despite it's not as old-school as Street Fighter saga, it's quite difficult to find out there a guy who hasn't ever played this late-arcade (and Dreamcast) success.
Sega of America is now giving us the chance to play Crazy Taxi from our mobile devices. Does this port make sense? Definitely: Crazy Taxi perfectly fits into mobile. It features a fast-paced and casual gameplay. Pick customers on your taxi and give them a fast and risky ride to the destination. The faster and riskier you get there, the more cash you'll earn. Run over anything on the way.
In Crazy Taxi, the end justifies the mean, dude.
Crazy Taxi features three different game modes: Arcade, Original and Crazy Box (stunt mode). You can choose playing by arcade/original rules or perform work for 3, 5 and 10 minutes. That's what I meant with a format that perfectly fits mobile. Pick'n'play gameplay.
Graphics are simple yet neat and polished. Exactly as you remember them in the arcades / Dreamcast versions. You can choose the control scheme: touch (left/right arrows, go forward / back) and tilt. The game runs overall smoothly even on medium-end devices.
Although I'm personally missing the social layer (online multiplayer mode, global leaderboards...) which would strictly make Crazy Taxi a mobile native title, the rest of features fulfill the expectations put on the port of this classic.
Go pick the next one up!
Time is money… DRIVE FAST!
Hey hey, come on over and have some fun with Crazy Taxi! Barrel through traffic packed streets, hurdle off parking garages, and crazy combo your way to crazy money in a wild frantic race to scare up the most fares. In Crazy Taxi, time is money, and only the craziest cabbies come out victorious.

-Rock out to original music by The Offspring and Bad Religion

So fun games I have played gila
Really good game for me very fun. But too short only one minutes to play. I give you 5star ones you fix for 5minutes to play
1 minute is way to short and also I liked the way it was like 1 year ago when it was the full version but it was free (also I think the game got more priced up was because it became more popular)
Fantastic game but only 1m is short but I love this game.

If i had to pick one guy to put on a random team to win one game, this is my order.
Joey Votto does not care about RBI.
Based on the Street and Smith mathematical formula from their outstanding
magazine in 2004. A very comprehensive overall evaluation. The way the
points were awarded:
All Time Winning percentage x 40 (unsure why they did it this way)
Number of 20 win seasons x 2 points
Number of 30 win seasons x 3 points
Seasons finishing in the AP Top 20/25 x 3 points
Seasons finishing in the AP Top 10 x 5 points
Seasons finishing as the AP Final #1 x 10 points
Conference regular season titles x 10 points
Conference tournament titles x 6 points
NIT Titles x 10 points
NCAA Tournament appearances x 10 points
NCAA Tournament wins x 4 points
NCAA Sweet 16s x 4 points
NCAA Elite 8s x 8 points
NCAA Final 4s x 14 points
NCAA Title game appearances x 16 points
NCAA Titles x 25 points
NCAA Probations x a negative 3 points
So, the top 14 programs through the 2012 Season:
1. Kentucky 3261.5 points
2. North Carolina 2771.5
4. Kansas 2482.8
5. Duke 2334.1
6. Indiana 1711.5
7. Louisville 1621.2
8. Ohio State 1395
9. UConn 1393.7
10. Cincinnati 1223.2
11. Syracuse 1220.5
12. Arizona 1202.8
13. Michigan State 1155.9
14. Arkansas 1148.6
A couple of things; the gap between UK and #2 is 490 points. The #2, #3
#4, and #5 programs are within 437 points of each other. Kansas is very
close to overtaking UCLA for #3.
Lastly, Louisville with 1621.5 points is basically 50% as great a program
as UK with 3261.5 points.

I can't decide on which team I'd like more. Wall can't shoot, but the rest of that team would make it a bizarre inside-out nightmare.
OTOH, the other team could legitimately claim every rebound within a ten-mile radius. It'd also have enough jets to take off, if needed.

Seems as though there were a few Reds fans that didn't like the idea of the Reds honoring UK's championship. I figure it was some Ohio State, UC and UL fans that are jealous.

It's sounding like UK is refusing to bring their teams or fans back to Bloomington. After the shameful way our visiting fans were treated, I must say that I'm very glad to hear this. DeWayne Peevy said UK would not be going back and it's looking right now like he wasn't lying. If IU doesn't want to play on a neutral court they can go away.
Extremely interesting, well-made short film made about night of UK championship win in Lexington. Fun video, must watch.
Indiana needs us more than we need them. We sell out Rupp regardless. I don't think IU fans will storm the court if they beat Kansas in Bloomington either.

Punch Energy Drink Announces Recipient of Its Inaugural LIVE BETTER AWARD(R)
In a joint press conference today, Workman proudly announced that the Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation, and its namesake Mr.
"The LIVE BETTER AWARD(R) is our way of declaring a heartfelt thank you to outstanding leaders and organizations from across
Even with these life-altering injuries, Schmidt realized he was one of the lucky ones. Unlike many people in the rehabilitation hospital, he had a strong personal faith and loving support from his family, friends and the entire motorsports community. To this day, Schmidt says he couldn't imagine surviving this process without his strong faith and knowing there was a purpose for his life after the injury.
After many months of rehabilitation, and able to once again breathe on his own, Schmidt's remarkable sense of giving turned his attention toward helping the dozens and dozens of paralysis patients he'd met through the course of his own treatment. Through the success of these initial efforts, it wasn't long before Sam and several of his closest friends formed The Sam Schmidt Paralysis Foundation.
Mr. Schmidt's vision in creating the Paralysis Foundation (SSPF) is to find a permanent cure for those who have been afflicted with chronic and acute paralysis. The day-to-day mission focuses on helping individuals overcome spinal cord injuries and other neurological disorders by funding scientific research, medical treatment, rehabilitation and technological advances. This research benefits stroke victims and people diagnosed with ALS, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. SSPF funds its national Day at the Races program and quality of life grants to organizations throughout the country benefiting people with paralysis and other life challenges. SSPF also provides college scholarships for people with spinal cord injuries/paralysis. The Foundation works tirelessly in its advocacy efforts both locally and nationally on behalf of the disabled.
Punch Energy's LIVE BETTER AWARD(R) is part and parcel to the company's fundamental belief in community responsibility, and represents the first of several high-profile programs and events scheduled for 2009 specifically focused on serving those most responsible for their success.
Most recently profiled in INC Magazine, Punch Energy's Workman has enjoyed a meteoric rise through the ultra-competitive energy beverage ranks, helped in no small part by his success and expertise in gaining prominent partnerships with Anheuser-Busch distributors.
Punch Energy Drink has been widely heralded as the best tasting in its class, utilizing only premium, natural ingredients and based on a 75-year-old Workman family recipe.

Amazon Kindle ( 2014)
For those who can live without an integrated light, the Kindle (2014) offers the full Kindle e-ink e-reading experience with little compromise for a budget price.
Kobo Aura
With its more portable design, the Kobo Aura is a worthwhile -- albeit pricier -- Kindle Paperwhite alternative for EPUB fans who don't want to be tied to Amazon's proprietary ecosystem.
Kobo Glo ( black)
The Kobo Glo is an excellent Kindle alternative, especially for readers seeking EPUB compatibility and international options.
Sony Reader PRS-T2 ( black)
The Sony PRS-T2 is a perfectly good touch-screen e-reader whose only sin is that it doesn't have any competitive advantages over Amazon's and Barnes & Noble's e-readers.
Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight
The Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight sets the standard for e-ink e-readers going forward and is well worth the extra money if you do a lot of nighttime reading.
Sony Reader Wi-Fi PRS-T1RC ( red)
While there's no compelling reason to buy it over the Kindle Touch, the Sony Reader Wi-Fi is a very solid e-reader.
Kobo eReader Touch Edition ( lavender)
Though the Kobo eReader Touch Edition doesn't quite measure up to the Nook Touch or the Kindle, it's a respectable and affordable touch-screen e-reader with a lot of pluses.
Barnes & Noble Nook Simple Touch Reader ( Wi-Fi)
The new touch-screen Nook is a major advancement over its predecessor and offers some real advantages over the 2010 Kindle.
Sony Reader Daily Edition PRS-950SC ( silver)
Sony's flagship e-reader, the Daily Edition PRS-950, is a capable, well-designed e-reader that offers both Wi-Fi and 3G connectivity--but at $300, it's too expensive.
Kobo Wireless eReader ( WiFi, lilac)
Though the Kobo Wireless eReader is a serviceable e-book reader with built-in Wi-Fi, it's worth spending the extra money to get the Kindle or the Nook instead.

In spite of her dark hair color, Rufa Mae Quinto has been typecast as the classic dumb blonde since starring in the 2001 comedy "Booba."
Writer-director Marlon Rivera, however, felt that Quinto could offer so much more than just her busty, dim-witted screen persona.
Rivera hopes to push the envelope with the action-comedy flick "Ang Huling Henya," where Quinto sheds her bombshell image to play Miri, a hot-tempered undercover agent.
"I think Rufa Mae's acting abilities have been underestimated for the longest time," Rivera told the Inquirer recently. "This time, there's a script that she had to follow closely. That's different from what she usually does."
Rivera said he was pleasantly surprised at how Quinto handled the movie's dramatic scenes. "My objective was to stretch Rufa Mae. I demanded so much from her and she delivered," he said.
Those who thought that his goal was to reinvent Quinto were sorely mistaken, Rivera said.
He pointed out that he merely wanted to equip the comedienne with additional tools to improve her craft. "She became famous for her own style of comedy. I think it would be unwise to change that," he said.
Quinto herself said doing the movie forced her to break out of her comfort zone. "I wore only jeans, boots and leather jackets in this movie. That was tough for me because I was used to being fully made-up all the time," she said.
She admitted that she learned a lot sharing the screen with theater actors Robert Seña, Candy Pangilinan, Ricci Chan and Kalila Aguilos. "They're all professional. They have incredible work ethic. They are very… profound," she said in her usual sing-song manner.
"Ang Huling Henya" is Rivera's follow-up to the award-winning Eugene Domingo-starrer "Ang Babae sa Septic Tank" in 2011.
Would "Henya" do for Quinto's career what "Septic" did for Domingo's?
"It's all very unpredictable. You shouldn't dare to expect too much," Rivera said.
Did he wish for "Henya" to become a box-office hit or a critically acclaimed film?
"I'd rather that a lot of people watch this movie. The fact that they went out of their way and spent P200 to watch your movie instead of buying pirated DVDs … that's the ultimate form of flattery," he explained. "Trophies are nice, but they just gather dust. But I must admit I want to win an acting award," he quipped.

Executive Handbook
The 9-box gives managers a tool to assess employees for their potential to advance. (FCW graphic)
Technology executives at federal agencies must oversee and develop a wide range of employees: longtime civil servants, political appointees, their own hires and (far more often) those they have inherited. The performance and potential matrix, commonly referred to as the 9-box, is a simple yet effective tool used to assess, manage and develop talent in organizations. It assesses individuals on two dimensions: their past performance and their future potential.
The 9-box helps a leadership team differentiate talent so that managers can better capitalize on and deploy it. Some people are better suited to a specialist position, while others might have potential to move into a larger role.
Although the 9-box is a versatile tool with many variations, it typically looks like a tic-tac-toe board, with the x-axis (horizontal line) of three boxes representing performance and the y-axis of three boxes (vertical line) representing potential. In other words, the top right square means high performance/high potential, while the bottom left square means low performance/low potential.
Read the full Executive Handbook package
To use the matrix, managers assign each of their employees to the appropriate box on the grid, and all that information is consolidated onto one master grid. Then, in a talent review meeting, a team facilitator (someone with experience in using the 9-box) guides managers in a discussion of each employee's performance and potential.
The beauty of the tool lies in its simplicity and ease of use. With a little explanation and initial facilitation, managers usually catch on quickly. The matrix helps overcome many of the common pitfalls when it comes to talent assessment, including overemphasis on current performance, overreliance on a single opinion, and a lack of assessment criteria or inconsistent criteria.
It is also a catalyst for robust dialogue. Filling out the grid is not the end goal; it's all about the discussion. Most managers are not very skilled when it comes to assessing talent and are hesitant to discuss another manager's employees or listen to feedback about their own. This tool helps provide a structured way to have those conversations in a professional, productive manner.
Even if you lack clear, consistent definitions of performance and potential going into a talent review, if you use this tool, you will have those definitions by the time you are done. In fact, for many managers, it will be the first time they have heard their bosses voice their expectations, and they will often discreetly begin jotting down notes and assessing themselves.
The accuracy of assessing performance and potential improves with multiple data points. Managers often have blind spots with their employees and are unaware of how they are perceived by others. These discussions can help shine a light on superstars and poor performers alike.
Finally, using the 9-box as part of a talent review uncovers strengths and weaknesses for the agency as well as the individual. The grid serves as an assessment of actions needed to strengthen the organization and provides a visual depiction of an agency's bench strength — a valuable snapshot of talent and the opportunities or challenges that come with it.

Filmmaker Sajid Khan seems to be all praise for actress Sonakshi Sinha who will be seen doing a peppy dance number "Thank God It's Friday" in his upcoming film "Himmatwala(2013)". The director said he would like to rope her in one of his future films as well.
"I nurtured a desire to work with Sonakshi after I saw her in 'Dabangg'. You will see Sonakshi in one of my future films as well. I am very fond of that girl," Khan told IANS in a group interview.
Sonakshi has been donning a desi avatar in her previous films like "Dabangg" and "Rowdy Rathore". Khan wanted to break this image through his song.
"A lot has been said about her not being modern and that she can only look nice in Indian clothes. I wanted to break this image that she doesn't look nice in western outfits," he said.
Talking about the outfits used in the song, Khan said that he wanted clothes from that era.
"The Western outfits over here are retro. I said I wanted outfits from that era," he said.
Sonakshi has two looks in the song. The first one has been inspired from Parveen Babi's look in "Shaan" and the second one is similar to Sridevi from "Chaalbaaz".
Directed by Sajid Khan, "Himmatwala" stars Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah and is all set to release on March 29.

During the marathon session to mark up sections of the annual National Defense Authorization Act for 2015, the House Armed Services Committee (HASC) casually approved a problematic amendment to the massive bill that should have gotten closer scrutiny. Sponsored by California Democrat Loretta Sanchez, the amendment named "SIR" for "She is Ready," is no less bad because it could have been worse.
Sanchez' initial proposal would have mandated that women who have gotten through infantry training as part of current research programs should be allowed to join the infantry, regardless of the physical, operational, and legal consequences for themselves and everyone else. Senior committee members correctly opposed that irresponsible idea, but they still agreed to other ...Read More
