Michael DeNicola
26-April (10:41am) - News broke this morning of an arrest warrant for Philadelphia Captain, Mike Richards, just hours prior to puck drop in Game 7 of the Flyers / Sabres QuarterFinals series.
Lead NHL Disciplinarian, Colin Campbell, was convinced the boarding infraction Richards put on Sabres forward, Tim Connolly, Easter Sunday afternoon in Game 6 never warranted any further suspension or fine.
Buffalo's head coach, Lindy Ruff, was absolutely furious once he heard of the disciplinary board's decision and had this to say to the PhillyReign press --
"It's terrible," Ruff mentioned, "You spend all season long believing the league wants away with these sort of things out there. When something like this happens and the league does nothing about it then it's just very, very confusing."
Ruff finished his interview by making it clear he's contacted both Philadelphia and Buffalo police and successfully got a warrant for our Captains detainment out on the PD wire.
"Hell, if the Canadiens can attempt it, why can't I?" Lindy said, "Only this time I'm successful."
You may recall back on October 9th, 2009, Mike Richards put a head hunting hit on Florida Panther star, David Booth, at center ice leaving Booth sprawled out and unconscious.
Later that evening, Mike was charged and incarcerated.
"I don't believe this is anything close to what happened between David and I," Richards said through a secured line from a phone booth at an unknown location, "But I will say this....I aint goin' back to the big house."
When asked if he'd return to Philadelphia for the Do Or Die Game 7, Richards replied, "You bet Ruff's candy ass I'll be there. If Snoop Dogg can show up at the music awards with policemen waiting for him back stage I can definitely do something similar."
Lindy hasn't stopped at Richards. He's currently trying his best to have some of the blame placed on the shoulders of Colin Campbell who is unreachable at the moment. He was last seen stealing Pat Sajak's wheel off the set of Wheel Of Fortune and printing many, many cards reading, "1 Game", "2 Games", "3 Games", "That's My Son", and "Was He Injured?"
Buffalo residents have been asked by local police departments to cease their acts of vigilantism and remain in their homes. Thousands of angry Sabres fans have flocked to the Philadelphia city streets in search of Mike Richards, but so far.....no success.
One Sabres fan decided against sweeping the Orange & Black cement jungle and kept his investigation north of Philadelphia in the Poconos area. What followed was what might have been a terrifying Richards sighting for the Buffalo native.
FOX News and PhillyReign.com caught up with the man earlier --

CASCADE, Idaho -- Residents who live near Tamarack Resort were busy packing up their belongings and evacuating their homes today after the the Valley County Sheriff's Office warned that winds may shift a wildfire toward subdivisions.
Everyone in the subdivisions bounded by Hurd Creek and Poison Creek were put under a Level 3 evacuation, meaning they should leave right away. Residents in about 100 homes south of the golf and ski resort were notified Thursday morning.
Margo Flaherty is a full-time resident who heeded that warning. She packed up her valuables in a truck and drove away from the resort around 1 p.m. She says sheriff's deputies were right behind to close the road.
Flaherty says Donnelly Fire Department personnel were there to keep an eye on homes and other structures.
The biggest concern remains the weather which sparked dozens of new, smaller fires in the Boise National Forest.
A red flag warning is in effect until midnight Thursday because wind gusts are expected to reach up to 30 miles per hour.
Fire officials say embers can drift up to a quarter mile and smolder, creating new fires and more challenges for firefighters.
The Hurd Fire doubled in size Thursday and has now blackened about 1,000 acres, mostly along the upper mountain range. So far, the fire has not moved down into the valley. The winds are moving north to northeast.
About 600-700 emergency crew members are battling the fire, including 21 crews, 10 helicopters and 21 fire engines.
A Level 2 evacuation is in effect for the Tamarack subdivision area. A Level 2 evacuation means people in that area should be ready to leave at a moment's notice.
Although the evacuation orders are not mandatory, residents are being encouraged to leave.
Gov. Butch Otter will be issuing a disaster declaration for Valley County in order to dispatch more resources to fight the fire.
Fire forces campground closures
The Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation is warning Lake Cascade State Park recreation users that Level 2 fire evacuations have been declared for some campgrounds, day uses areas and boat launches due to the Hurd Creek Fire.
There is a good probability the fire will severely limit the roads in and out of the area, potentially effecting escape routes.
Lake Cascade State Park s West Mountain, Buttercup, and Huckleberry campgrounds, day use areas and boat launches are closed. Reservations for these campgrounds are being canceled and refunds offered.
All other Lake Cascade State Park campgrounds, day use areas, and boat launches will remain open.

Coastalwatch surf reporters are the saltiest locals around. Part fish, part shark, part human, they live for the waves and are usually more local than the locals. They'll be up before dawn waiting for first light to reveal the days surf conditions and can sense a change of wind from a sparrows fart. Each reporter covers a region of coastline which includes many number of surf spots and beaches. Please consider there may be possible variations between this report and your local spot due to differences in orientation to the coast and any local idiosyncrasies that may also effect the swell and weather patterns.

Put That TV on Layaway
Want to watch the Super Bowl on a new flat-screen TV, but don't want to add a huge charge to your credit card?
You could consider an old-fashioned approach: layaway.
Layaway allows a buyer to stretch payments for merchandise over several weeks or months, picking up the purchased items once the balance is paid off.
While most retailers don't offer layaway plans these days, the option is available at a few stores. Kmart has been touting its layaway program this holiday season. And its sister company, Sears, recently reinstated its plan.
Both stores offer eight-week contracts, which come with a one-time $5 service fee per contract. Kmart shoppers must put down 10% of the total purchase price or $15, whichever is greater. Sears customers have to put down 20% or $15, whichever is greater.
Both programs then have three biweekly payments with a final payment due when the item is picked up. If the contract is broken, there's a $10 cancellation fee but the rest of the payments are returned.
Some T.J. Maxx and Marshalls locations offer 30-day layaway programs. There's a required 10% initial deposit along with a nonrefundable fee, typically $5. A $5 cancellation fee also typically applies, though it can vary by state.
For specifics on Burlington Coat Factory's layaway plan, go to the "Our Company" tab at BurlingtonCoatFactory.com.

Glad I could help, thanks for your kind comments.
Well, the time has come to pretty much get this dog and pony show on the road!
I have been finishing up a lot of the little things and spending a lot of time making sure the logistics for the trip are in order. There has been one major change in plans since David said he was going to go. I wanted to bring some more parts...a spare motor in fact...lol, so I was not going to have enough room in the Subaru to bring it. Allan said he had no room to spare in his rig (Luke's chase truck), so I am going to just tow the car down to San Diego on Ray's not so beautiful, but fully functional, trailer.
This will allow for me and Cory to ride down in comfort in the Sprinter and bring down a lot more spares. In San Diego, we will cull the parts a bit more and put what we want in our chase truck belonging to Ted "The Dude". The Dude is going to be basically my Bivouac support so it will be my job to get the car in every night so David and Ted can work on it if needed. It should also be noted that Ted will be towing a small fishing boat behind him as our return plan is to take a week and fish the whole way home!
For the last two years, we basically brought down a spare motorcycle in two bins for the Honda..and we didn't use much of anything other than some consumables. Its the old adage: "If you have it, you'll never need it." We will be driving the car from Ted's house to Mexicali. The trailer and Sprinter will stay in the states.
David is bringing parts down this morning for us to load in the van. Cory is coming down this afternoon and will be helping with the final push for the car to be race ready and then loaded up on the trailer!
First thing on Monday, we leave. The plan is to meet up with Luke on I-5 and caravan south. I had hoped to see some friends in the Santa Barbara area but now the plan is to get to the Dude's compound asap so Luke and I can finish up the little nagging things at Ted's well equipped shop. I will also be stopping at General Tire's headquarters to pick up some tires I was able to score with a racer's discount.
The plan is we will have two days to futz with the bike and car and then on Friday pick up our remaining team members at the airport including my beautiful navigator, my wife Laura. On Saturday morning, we cross the border in Mexicali and head to tech inspection!
Our Steeekers showed up and our Sponsor Tillamook Country Smoker came through again with some tasty treats to hand out to kids with our stickers!! This year we will be showing the children of Baja how to get their Redneck on through cans of Beef Jerky Chew! Thanks Bob and Dick from the Smoker!!
One of our great sponsors and OSR team member, Tim from Prevailing Communications, also finished up some wiring on the race car, including the siren/air horn and some additional 12v outlets for GPS and other electronics. He also brought out the mobile race radio for Luke's chase truck. Thanks Tim!!
Last night, while watching Sons of Anarchy, Laura and I donned our racing suits, helmets and neck support as part of our rigorous training regimen...of course the adult beverages were for scale only (although the two cup holders are fully functional in the Subaru).
I'll post up some pictures when I can. I'll also post a link to our spot page soon and you can follow along with us if you want.

[Sto+14] Enterprise Data Applications and the Cloud: A Difficult Road Ahead.
OBJECTIVE: Rapid Data Access for Cloud and Big Data Applications
Mathematically interfacing applications and storage is not a new
It has always been technically attractive and attempted, in one way or another, many times.
The most notable near success is the Relational Data Model, RDM, providing
mathematically well-defined data representations at the application level.
Unfortunately, no commercial implementation
pursed this opportunity to provide application independence with a
mathematical interface between applications and storage.
Relational, Scalable & Schema-less
Preserve Relational:
Though the underlying strength of the RDM is its mathematical
foundation in classical set theory, CST,
this limits data representations
to relations as arrays.
A simple (in principle) solution is to broaden the definition
of "relation" to include any and all possible
computer based representations of data.
Each of these three concerns can be resolved by extending the RDM, based of classical set theory, to a structured set data model, based on using structured sets, as defined under extended set theory, XST.
SSDM: Structured-Set Data Model
SSDM: Any collection of data representations and operations on them that are well-defined under the axioms of extended set theory, XST.
There is no restriction on how many operations are defined, nor on what the operations do. There is no restriction on how many data representations are defined, nor on how they are defined. The only condition is that all operations and data representations be defined using extended set notation, XSN.
If A is a structured-set and if
is true, then
x is a s-member of A.
The structure component of an extended set membership can be used to distinguish the container part of a data representation from the content part. Though set theory has been tried many times as a formal data model, it has always failed to provide the ability to suitably define data records as unambiguous sets. Structured-sets provide an additional component to classical set membership allowing a formally defined representation of data that uniquely distinguishes the logical data relationships (content) from the physical data representation (container).
All Data Representations
Since structured-sets can formally represent any and all
application and storage data
with the ability to distinguish data content from data
container, structured-set based access strategies can
manipulate data content and data containers independently
to provide near-optimal access performance for each and every application.

Hispanic buying power
Home sellers are learning to follow the money
If you sell real estate in South Texas and your Spanish on the subject is limited to "Mi casa, tu casa," it might be time for some cultural education.
The Hispanic community will be the fastest-growing segment of U.S. homebuyers during the next 10 years, according to emerging markets specialist Oscar Gonzales.
Gonzales, who heads a Houston-based firm called The Gonzales Group, has been beating the drum of minority marketing for more than a decade.
Gonzales said projections from the U.S. Census Bureau are based on numbers of Hispanics already living in the United States. The Hispanic segment of the population is the fastest-growing and is projected to hit 17 percent by 2010.
And Hispanic buying power - currently estimated at about $670 billion - is projected to balloon 48 percent by 2009 to $992 billion. Numbers like these have companies scrambling to implement bilingual marketing materials and diversity training programs for employees.
"The explosion of the Hispanic market has been tremendous," said Nelda Martinez, multicultural markets director for Stewart Title. "It's become a business case."
The real estate industry in particular has begun to market to Hispanics. The young population (37 percent are age 20 or below) means there are millions of up-and-coming homeowners.
Gonzales, a child of immigrant parents, who grew up north of Austin, worked in accounting and administration at several chapters of the National Association of Realtors. He said the Hispanic community places importance on home ownership, but he saw few real estate professionals who seemed to understand how to leverage that.
"When (Hispanics) buy a home, that means they've arrived. They feel that sense of accomplishment," he said. "What I didn't see was the Realtors embracing that."
Now he consults businesses and other organizations on how to effectively connect with minority markets. The good news for small businesses, he said, is that it doesn't require a huge budget.
"It's not so much how many marketing dollars you throw at them but the service that's delivered," he said. "If you win that loyalty and deliver the service, you're going to succeed."
Gonzales will teach a seminar Wednesday at Del Mar College titled "Building a Business Case for the Hispanic Market: Marketing to Hispanic Homebuyers."
'Se habla Espanol'
Laura Commons is fluent in both English and Spanish, and she makes a point of advertising that fact.
The ReMax Metro Properties agent said being bilingual gives her an edge over most brokers in the city. In a print advertisement or a radio spot, she makes sure to include at least one phrase in Spanish, her father's native language and one she learned as a child. She often hyphenates her name to Laura Flores-Commons to punctuate her Hispanic heritage.
"I'd say 20 percent of my clientele is more comfortable speaking Spanish than English," she said. "Especially being in South Texas, it's a tool you use on a regular basis."
But what is innate in Commons, whose father and extended family hail from Mexico, is what companies would love to bottle up and give to their employees. It's the ability to connect in a personal way, on a cultural level, to the Hispanic market.
Trey McCampbell, chief operations officer at American Bank, said translating brochures and ads is a good start, but it only takes a business so far.
"There's a certain baseline of all the things you should be doing - have collateral materials printed in Spanish, have people on staff who are bilingual," he said. "But it's not just about advertising in the language. It's about understanding the culture and connecting in that way."
Gonzales said companies that fail to do this - especially ones in parts of the country with large Hispanic populations - will lose market share to those that do.
"I think companies who ignore it are ignoring the changing face of the consumer," he said. "I think their days are numbered and they know it."

A New Beginning for West End Avenue
Tuesday, August 31, 2010
Matt Chaban.
The West End Preservation Society could only save two of the buildings it had hoped for, but an entire neighborhood has been preserved in the process.
Back in 2007, a clutch of concerned citizens living on West End Avenue were dismayed to learn that two pairs of brownstones were bound for the wrecking ball, to be replaced by the sliver buildings much in vogue in Manhattan's narrow upper reaches over the past decade. The houses at 732 and 734 West End Avenue are currently being demolished, but 508 and 510 West End Avenue survive, and likely will for some time thanks to the efforts of the society. The LPC is now preparing to finalize plans for a new, expansive historic district—lobbied for by the preservation group—running the length of West End Avenue from 70th Street to 109th Street. The result will be two-miles of almost uniterrupted pre-war grandeur. Read More
Allah Architecture Causes Controversies Worldwide
Thursday, July 8, 2010
Matt Chaban.
It looks like New York isn't the only city with a controversial mosque on the horizon—and in the case of Marseilles, that's quite literally where it's going. Archinect points us to a BBC report about the Grand Mosque, a huge new complex atop one of the city's northern hills. As the video above shows, the complaints are akin to those surrounding the proposed mosque around the corner from the World Trade Center site—concerns about culture, paternalism, terrorism, and community, though in France the concerns are obviously less direct. In a favorable sign for the NYC mosque, the local community board voted against landmarking the former Burlington Coat Factory ahead of a binding review at the commission next Tuesday. The vote is non-binding but tends to carry some wait, though we're curious to see what actually happens, as this should be one of the more interesting commission meetings in recent memory. Do check back for a full report.

If you couldn't make it down to D.C. last month for the Environmental Film Fest, it's still not too late to catch one of the entries, A Necessary Ruin. The movie tells the story of the untimely destruction of Buckminster Fuller's Union Tank Car Dome, a piece of railroad infrastructure that was the largest clear-span structure when it was completed in 1958 before being summarily destroyed three years ago. Its epic story will be told
tomorrow night next Friday at the Center for Architecture, followed by a lively discussion with Jonathan Marvel, all part of the current show, Modernism at Risk. You can watch the trailer after the jump. Read More
Burnham Depot Reno?
Tuesday, April 13, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
Designed by the great Chicago architect and planner Daniel Burnham, this handsome if forlorn rail station may get a new life. Located in Richmond, Indiana, which is about halfway between Indianapolis and Columbus, Ohio, the old Pennsylvania Railroad Depot has been empty for over 30 years. According to the Richmond Palladium-Item, via archinect, owner Roger Richert recently bought the building for $75,000, but it is expected to take $1 million to stabilize. Richert is working with the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana to identify tax credits and other funding options in hopes of turning the building into a conference center, restaurant, a music venue, or retail space. Though the much of the interior is gone, Richert said the shell is strong, a testimony to Burnham's robust design.
Detroit Harkens
Monday, April 5, 2010
Matt Chaban.
Last week, we reported on a new, rather unprecedented plan by new-ish Detroit Mayor Dave Bing to condense the city to fit its current population, which is half what it was six decades ago. Among the people we interviewed was local AIA President Raymond Cekauskas, a huge Detroit booster who sent along the picture above, a reminder of the city's "grand past," as Cekauskas put it. But it is also a fitting image of what the city could very well become under Bing's plan, still in its chrysalis—a little smaller, tightly knit, transit-oriented (yes, transit is coming to the Motor City), in a word, homey, which we mean in a good way. Just look at all the gorgeous homes wanting for salvation. Meanwhile, a Tufts professor looks to Flint and Youngstown for similar shrinking models, though by no means on the same scale. Welcome to the Brave New Midwest.
Preservation Gang
Friday, April 2, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
On the heels of their much praised Aqua tower, Studio Gang is talking on a very different kind of project, the renovation and conversion of the historic Shoreland Hotel in Hyde Park into rental apartments, and retail and event spaces, the Chicago Tribune reports. The building, which was most recently used as student housing by the University of Chicago, is in rough shape. Some of the once opulent interiors are in tact, but other spaces have been gutted or badly damaged, which could offer interesting opportunities to juxtapose contemporary insertions with historic elements. The project adds adaptive reuse and historic preservation to the firm's already diverse portfolio. Read More
Soho Salvage

Another piece of New York City's historic fabric is disappearing. But only for a short time! We hope… Curbed swung by 74 Grand Street today and discovered that deconstruction of the five story cast-iron building was just getting under way. The building has been leaning for years after being undermined by construction a neighboring lot. Because it had gotten so bad recently—some 30 inches out of alignment in spots—the Department of Buildings declared the building would come down before it brought the entire blog along with it. Afraid a unique piece of the city would be lost, the LPC demanded the facade be replaced whenever a new building gets built on the site, and it would be locked up in a city warehouse until then. The LPC signed on reluctantly, as the oldest cast-iron facade in the city was once stolen from such a warehouse and sold for scrap. We've got our fingers crossed this time around.
Preserving The Changes
Wednesday, March 24, 2010
Aaron Seward.
In the world of historical preservation, when it comes to restoring a building, there is often the difficult question to answer of when does history begin and end? So many of our significant elderly structures have undergone numerous renovations and additions, such that stakeholders can easily come to loggerheads when deciding exactly what to protect and what to discard. Just such a drama has recently played out in Hondo, Texas—a little town west of San Antonio—where county commissioners have decided to not restore their courthouse to its original 1893 condition. While the project, which was to receive funding from the Texas Historical Commission (THC), would have restored an 1893 clock tower, it also required demolishing two wings of the building that were added in 1938-40 by the Works Projects Administration (WPA).
Less is More on Lakeshore
Monday, March 15, 2010
Alan G. Brake.
Photographers and videographers William Zbaren and Robert Sharoff interviewed architect Ron Krueck about his firm's restoration of Mies van der Rohe's towers at 860-880 Lake Shore Drive, better known as the Lake Shore Drive apartments. Krueck, a principal at Krueck + Sexton Architects, calls the towers "revolutionary" for their time for their delicacy and lightness. The video is accompanied by beautiful photographs of the exteriors and grounds.
A Castle Near the Sand
Tuesday, February 9, 2010
Matt Chaban.
With snowpocalypse about to descend on the city, summer feels a long way away. But there is cause for sun-soaked celebration today, as the Landmarks Preservation commission calendared the Shore Theater, the first step in the public review process to make the building an official city landmark. The calendaring is actually the first fruits to bear from the Bloomberg administration's 13th hour deal with developer Joe Sitt. It will be months before amusements return to a saved Coney Island, but a major negotiating point for the community—and the amusement community in particular—was more landmarks in Coney to protect the area's historic buildings from the flood of development the city's rezoning hopes to create. So far, there are no other buildings in the docket besides the 1920s theater-and-hotel building, though, which could be cause for concern—especially after the area's oldest building recently suffered water damage. Still, after decades of deterioration, any progress is good. In other landmarks news… Read More
Yankees Do Over Dandy
Tuesday, October 27, 2009
Matt Chaban.
This weekend, a lot of New Yorkers were fixated on Yankee Stadium, though for far different reasons than the Times, which paid the House That Ruth Didn't Build some overdue (or undue, if you're a Steinbrenner) attention. The biggest and most alarming story was that the vaunted stadium—the most expensive ever built in the U.S., in part thanks to questionable public financing—was cracking, particularly in the ramps, a troubling spot given all the foot traffic. It was revealed over a year ago that a faulty concrete tester was employed on the project, along with hundreds of others in the city, though it also turns out the mob was involved in pouring all that concrete. The Times' description is so matter of fact as to be breathtaking: Read More
Crowning 23 Beekman
Tuesday, October 13, 2009
Matt Chaban.
While the big news out of the LPC today was the approval of 980 Madison, there were quite a few noteworthy developments as well, namely the designation of three new landmarks and the calendering of 23 Beekman Place, better known as the Paul Rudolph house, which is the first step in the designation process. Poking fun at her fellow colleagues who had been skeptical of the Norman Foster designed addition at 980 Madison, which had been approved earlier in the day, commissioner Margery Perlmutter quipped, "Sometimes a rooftop addition does become a landmark." Rudolph's quixotic construction was completed in 1977, though he would revise it, like much of his work, until his death two decades later. Read More

The location was excellent, couldn't be better. It is evident that the owners are in the process of redecorating and carrying out repairs to the hotel. However, at the time of our visit there was clearly a good deal yet to be dealt with e.g. worn and stained carpets, general decor etc. One other issue was that the wash hand basin was positioned in a way that made it quite difficult to get into the shower.

The location is excellent and it is great value for money in an expensive resort, we had a great room with a balcony but since it is close to a lot of bars you have to be prepared for some noise at night. The Staff were excellent and the only negative comment would be that the carpet in our bedroom could do with cleaning or changing.

I would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for somewhere relatively inexpensive and central in Biarritz. It's location is marvellous, the staff absolutley brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble for them and were courteous enough to speak to us, slowly, in French so that we could practise our language skills. Rooms, especilly bathrooms very small indeed. Have often stayed in French hotels, but the bathrooms here were tiny to the point of being almost unusable. Improve them, and this hotel would be almost faultless.

Great Little Hotel for the price you pay. Conveniently located so close to the beautiful beach, which was one of our main criteria. Rooms clean and of a larger size than I have seen in other places in France, though not huge. A bit of background noise can be heard at night as the surrounding area is quite busy, but no real problem for me. Staff lovely and helpful

Parents of ADHD Children
Hi all,
My 10 year old ADHD daughter has recently developed what seems to be depression/anxiety. We recently changed her meds in June and went from 15 mg Focalin and 2 mg Intuniv to just 2 mg of intuniv. At first I saw a huge difference in her personality. She was no longer a zombie from the Focalin and seemed to be adjusting well to the change. However, in the beginning of July sent her to a sleep-away camp for a week. Ever since she got back she has been clingy and depressed and hasn't slept well at night. The first few days back were terrible. She had horrible separation anxiety and wouldn't even go to her normal day camp. Also, I'm a single mom working full time, so it's really not an option to stay at home with her. Anyway, has anyone had something similar happen? Any helpful suggestions welcomed!

Publisher's Description
"Evolutionary models for life, earth, and space are questioned today by a significant group of scientists worldwide. They are convinced that the earth and the entire universe are the result of a supernatural creation event which occurred just thousands of years ago, not billions of years."
- Why do conventional methods for dating rocks differ so radically?
- What does carbon-14 found in diamonds tell us?
- Was there accelerated nuclear decay in earth's history?
- Are the creation and Flood accounts genuine historic events?
These and many other questions are addressed in Thousands...Not Billions. This book summarizes eight years of research by the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and a team of scientists, whose goal was to explore the age of the earth from a biblical perspective. The project title was Radioisotopes and the Age of The Earth, or RATE.
The age of the earth is one of the most divisive topics today, much debated by scholars and laypersons alike. What one believes about the age of the earth goes a long way in determining world views. The Bible is explicit that the earth is young, but many people feel that science has proved our planet is more than four billion year old. Thousands...Not Billions provides a compelling challenge to Darwinian evolution.

Anthony Shuler5 Stars Out Of 5Great book!January 26, 2011Anthony ShulerQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for Thousands Not Billions: Challenging an Icon of Evolution, Questioning the Age of the Earth.Excellent book presenting a brief synopsis of the results of the R.A.T.E. (Radioisotopes and the age of the Earth) project. This project was undertaken by some of the top Bible believing scientists of our day and has made discoveries, which are presented in this book, that confirm the true Genesis account of creation. Very original and informative. One of the tops works on the issue of creation/evolution/age of the earth ever produced. Including research from scientists such as Dr. D. Russell Humphreys, Dr. Andrew Snelling, and Dr. Steven Austin as well as others. Highly recommended.
Joel Weber5 Stars Out Of 5July 23, 2007Joel WeberThis review was written for Thousands Not Billions: Challenging an Icon of Evolution, Questioning the Age of the Earth.A detailed account of the many, flawed methods of scientific measurement for the purposes of identifying age. The field of science, along with all others, is also at the mercy of pre-conceived theories, theologies and world views. This book will allow you to ponder and weigh all our so-called scientific evidence for millions and billions of earth age, after carefully detailing the assumptions, statistical manipulations and flaws found in all our dating methods.The evidence does not uniformly point to an old earth, unless you have such an preconceived notion.

The City of Aikens efforts to suspend certain police reports from public view is a blatant skirting of state law. This decision outlined in a story published in Saturdays Aiken Standard stems from an alleged sexual assault that took place between two juveniles at a local middle school.
City officials have made it evident that theyre going to shelve police reports pertaining to minors as a result of the case. But in doing so, the City is showing us that its not fully invested in protecting the interests of the public, especially our children.
While its clear the name of a juvenile involved in such a case should be protected, the fact that a crime is committed and the accused is a juvenile should not be considered confidential information.
The section of South Carolina law pertaining to juvenile justice reads that information identifying a child must not be open to public inspection, but the remainder of these records are public records.
The language of the law should be clear to any public official. It plainly restricts only the names of those involved from being released, but the rest of the report is intended for public view.
Jay Bender, attorney for the S.C. Press Association, explained that while a name may be withheld, that fact shouldnt influence law enforcement from providing the rest of the information about an alleged crime.
A crime is a still crime. Its neither juvenile or adult, Bender said.
Concerns over the release of information shouldnt diminish the fact there was a rumored sexual assault, but the point should still be stressed. The longer the City withholds such information, the longer they are breaking the law. Additionally, the longer information is concealed, the easier it is for the concerns of parents to mushroom.
Those concerns and suspicions easily turn to the idea law enforcement is trying to protect someone suspected of a wrongdoing, whether its true or not.
At this point, City officials are operating under the stance that if its a crime involving a juvenile whether its a burglary, assault or even a bomb threat the public shouldnt know about it. However, law enforcement doesnt have that option under state law.
Parents are now left wondering what exactly is taking place in our schools and throughout our community.
While the proverbial clock ticks, City Solicitor Paige Tiffany and Staff Attorney Gary Smith have requested an opinion from the states Attorney General regarding the issue. Despite the plain language of the law, City staff somehow remain unsure if the incident report should be released or can remain entirely confidential.
While it may be void of a precedent, staff should already know this because its distinctly and transparently written in state law and covered clearly in the U.S. Constitution under the First Amendment.
As the Attorney Generals office considers the Citys request, the police should do itself, as well as the community, a service by simply being forthcoming and easing the concerns of our community.

Brian Thew, one of the hog hunters explained, "The meat is unbelievable, it is really lean. DEC tested it for disease, and it was deemed safe, so we had a big, pig roast!"

text: The Sewer Shark wiki last edited by Deathawk on 02/17/15 03:14PM View full history StorySet in the not-too-distant future, humanity has been forced to live in their underground infrastructures for unspecified reasons. Here, bands of "Sewer Jockies" group together and with the use of their armed ships, scour the tunnel systems in order to exterminate the mutated creatures that inhabit the sewers to prevent them from contaminating the above-ground resort area of Solar City.The player assumes the role of a rookie pilot and is joined by a veteran pilot, Ghost, who proceeds to berate the player for the majority of the game, and his robot scout, Catfish, who provides the player with valuable information. Throughout the game, the player receives transmissions from the owner of Solar City, Commissioner Stenchler, who will allow the player into his resort should they kill one million pounds worth of creatures.Meanwhile, a fellow jockey by the name of Falco rides into unsanctioned territory following what she describes as a "crazy looking thing," thinking it will lead her on a secret path to Solar City. Later, this creature provides the route for players as opposed to receiving this information from Catfish.GameplayAs a rail shooter, the player does not take direct control of the ship, but that of the targeting crosshair in order to shoot the various species as they appear. The player does, however, have limited control of the ship during specific navigation spots. While the directions are always different, there is only one specific route to through the sewer for each time the game is played, as specified by Catfish. Occasionally, Catfish will give the player a series of directions (3, 6, 9 or 12) which must be followed or the game will end. When approaching one of the navigation spots, the player must hold down the A button and press the appropriate direction.Original FormatWhile originally released on the Sega CD, Sewer Shark was first conceived to be the flagship product of Hasbro and Nolan Bushnell's ill-fated Control-Vision video game console (also referred to as NEMO), which used VHS tapes as opposed to compact discs. The NEMO was eventually canceled and Digital Pictures picked Sewer Shark up for production along with Night Trap.

not to disagree with anyone because I am fairly new to the game but I have been put in many instances were I am playing with people way above my wieght class. This really hurts because a simple Bop takes my shields down in like two hits. I'm an LC with a tier two ship and it feels like I am being thrown to the wolves. I'll warp out and go back in and it will be fine untill this happens again. The way they have the maps set up should be fore each rank unless you are part of a fleet and want to fight with others above you.

Life Lessons Learned in Unexpected Moments
Unforeseen teachers
Unforeseen teachers
by Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
We don't always learn life's most important lessons in class or in church – or any of the other traditional venues, says Jay Lowder, author of Midnight in Aisle 7. "Through more than 20 years of evangelistic ministry, I have learned that life's greatest mysteries are often illuminated in the most unexpected places through the most unlikely encounters at the most unforeseen times. The individuals I meet who have overcome adversity and struggles with God's help continually amaze me. I believe we can all learn something from those around us if we only look. What follows are stories of those who have inspired me to see God's purpose in life, love and pain, and taught me to have a new outlook." For example, says Lowder:

As a result, a younger person can perform the physical tasks better than the elderly ones. The aging process brings lots of health issues. With the growing age, the amount of Testosterone production usually declines. As a result, the men experience lack of potency and energy, low physical as well as sexual stamina.

Oklahoma country music star Blake Shelton, who wed fellow Tishomingo resident and country star Miranda Lambert over the weekend, is helping mentor some talented new artists as a vocal coach on the new NBC series "The Voice."
In the cover story of the May 23 edition of Country Weekly, on sale today, Shelton talks about his role on the show and raves about the concept, in which acts are initially judged on vocal talent alone.
"This lets people have the chance they deserve," Shelton tells the magazine. "Then it's up to them to make the most of it."
He says that he wants to help the newcomers with their song choices. "I want them to know they have someone in this business who is on their side," he adds.
"The Voice" airs at 9 p.m. Tuesdays on NBC (KFOR-4 in Oklahoma City).

CALGARY, May 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (TSX: ONC, NASDAQ: ONCY) announced today that two presentations covering preclinical work using the reovirus are scheduled to be delivered by Dr. Richard Vile of the Mayo College of Medicine, Rochester, Minnesota, at the American Society of Gene Therapy (ASGT) annual meeting in Boston, MA. The meeting runs from May 28 to June 1, 2008.
A poster presentation entitled "Combination Immunotherapy and Oncolytic Virotherapy for the Treatment of Malignant Mesothelioma" is scheduled to be presented on Friday, May 30, 2008. The poster covers preclinical work using oncolytic viruses including reovirus against mesothelioma, a rare but deadly cancer. In vitro data show that mesothelioma cells are sensitive to and support replication of reoviruses. In addition, data suggesting how anti-tumour immunity can be enhanced will be presented.
An oral presentation entitled "Purging Lymph Node Metastases with Adoptive T Cell Therapy, Oncolytic Virotherapy and Immunotherapy" is scheduled to be presented on Saturday, May 31, 2008. In many cancers, disease spreads to other parts of the body via the lymph nodes. In this study, the investigators demonstrated that normal T-cells pre-loaded with reovirus localize to lymph nodes, spleen and liver and deliver the virus to sites of metastatic disease. In addition, killing the tumour cells in the lymph nodes and spleen by reovirus generated potent anti-tumour immunity, preventing repopulation of the lymph nodes and spleen by further waves of cells spreading from the primary tumour. The researchers are continuing to investigate methods of improving virus delivery, and developing clinical protocols that will examine purging lymph nodes of tumor cells using reovirus.

This column likes one of the women. Hint, the talented one. Really, you can't guess?
Okay the successful star. The A-lister. The beautiful one. The woman who does not play a doctor on Twitter.
Melissa McCarthy may not always pick the best vehicles but she is wonderful in any film or television show.
There is a rumor going around inre Jenny saying something to Melissa about her weight. Who cares? And what does it matter.
Not only has the latter risen to the top in a very competitive industry but has done so on her own terms. (Note to Melissa. Please actually read a script before agreeing to star in a movie. Even if you co-wrote it. Just saying.)
What went on between this two is none of my business.
But the fact that today, in 2014 Jenny McCarthy made a lesbian joke about Hillary Clinton matters. Really Jenny? No new vaccines on the market you can protest? At a loss for something stupid to add to the conversation?
This column's sainted mother used to say that you can never really know anyone else's marriage. In fact, it is often times a mystery to the couple. A lot of Bill's ugly behavior concerns only his wife and daughter. Repealing Glass-Steagall hurt us all. But we digress.
The problem with our complicated political landscape is that a person or a situation cannot be summed up in a tweet or a pathetic comment by a D-list celebrity. (Sorry Kathy Griffin. Hope that isn't trademarked.)
There are many issues involved with a Clinton run for President. Her whispered about sexual orientation is irrelevant. And cruel. And stupid.
Even Jenny McCarthy recognizes that now and has a whinging excuse: The View pushed her out of her comfort zone. She would never disparage her woman/sisters.
Unless they want to protect their children.
So Jenny, as long as you are in contrition mode, honestly retract your statements about vaccinations.
It is time for doctors and health professionals to discuss this vital health matter. Not a former Playboy centerfold.

If you want to avoid natural disasters,you probably shouldn't live inTexas, according to a study by the New York Times.
They compiled historic dataand created a fascinating infographic that measures the riskiest and least riskiest U.S. cities for natural disasters. The studylooked at the threat of hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding and earthquakes, among other things.
Turns out Dallas is the most dangerous place to live and Houston has the fourth highest risk, according to the data.
The safest place? Corvallis, Oregon.

text: The Leitchfield Police and Fire Departments responded to a two-vehicle head-on collision in the 600 block of Commerce Drive, in front of the Leitchfield Veterinary Clinic, on Friday afternoon just after 3:00. A Westbound late model Suzuki V6 4X4 collided with a late model Eastbound Chrysler Pacifica, totaling both vehicles, and propelling the Pacifica into a roadside ditch. Air bags deployed in the Pacifica, but the Suzuki's air bags had been removed. Firefighters worked for several minutes to extract one of the occupants of the Pacifica. EMS transported three people to Twin Lakes Regional Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries. A minor female, shaken by the incident, was taken to the ER for precautionary reasons.
