HoopsHype Johnny Manziel rumors
James is perhaps Manziel's most powerful ally. Manziel is represented by LRMR, the marketing firm owned by James and run by longtime friend and fellow Akron native Maverick Carter. "I haven't talked to him," James said of Manziel following the Cavs' 97-84 win over the Philadelphia 76ers Monday night. "I found out about the information when you guys found out about it. If a guy is seeking help, as a friend, I support him and want him to get better. As his friends and family, we all believe in him and think this is a good step if that's the route he wants to take." Akron Beacon Journal
The legal system-abusing prankster who filed an insane lawsuit against Johnny Manziel has apparently struck again -- and this time, his target is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. TMZ Sports has learned ... Cuban was sued in District Court in Northern Texas by someone claiming to be Lisa Lazzari ... the sister of former "Shark Tank" entrepreneur Lani Lazzari (owner of Simple Sugars body care company). In the suit, the plaintiff demands $15 MILLION and makes bogus and comically outrageous claims against Cuban. TMZ.com
Dwight Howard is still in his first season as a Houston Rocket, but he's already thoroughly embraced his new home. After the Rockets' Thursday blowout win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Howard hung out with Houston Texans running back Arian Foster and former Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel. For The Win
Ira Winderman: LeBron confirmed pregame his marketing firm will represent Johnny Manziel, "We love what he brings to the table." Twitter @IraHeatBeat
Ira Winderman: LeBron said he stayed in touch with the Texas A&M quarterback all season. "I would text him weekly before the games and after the games." Twitter @IraHeatBeat
LeBron James has always seen Johnny Manziel as a kindred spirit, consistently overanalyzed, sometimes harshly scrutinized. He's also known to be open to mentoring younger athletes, so he was receptive when a call came from people close to the Texas A&M quarterback. "They reached out to me when he was going through a lot of off-the-field things, that I thought was just overblown," James said. "He's not the only college kid that's ever went to a frat party, or the only college kid that ever had fun. But obviously, he's Johnny Manziel so it's blown out of proportion." Bleacher Report
Yes, they're together now. Wednesday, reports surfaced that Manziel had signed with James' childhood friend and business manager, Maverick Carter, and the LRMR agency. "Is it official yet?" James asked before Thursday's game against the Knicks. "Maybe?" Assured that it was public knowledge, James elaborated. "At the end of the day, he's an unbelievable competitor," James said. "And we love what he brings to the table as far as being a football player and as far as being a young man that's trying to strive for greatness. So we're just happy to be a friend of his and be able to help him." Bleacher Report

Blink and you would have missed it. Week 3 disappeared quicker than a fresh krispy kreme doughnut. With so much fun being had during this past week all people could think about is that there is only 8 weeks left of the course! Not a bad thought though, two more months of shredding would put a smile on anyone's face.
Continuing on from where everyone left off last week, week 3 brought a focus on teaching skills as well as terrain exploration and rider improvement. During the first half of the week the snowboarders hit up "happy valley" (aka nappy valley learning zone) where they practiced and practiced "quick ride" (the system designed to get beginner snowboarders up and riding as quickly as possible), working on their demos and teaching techniques. The skiers followed a similar focus for the week practicing their teaching skills working through their FTTP (fast track to parallel) exercise. This is the system skiers use to get their students up and skiing.
Our broken student Laura was back on her board this week determined not to let a slightly fractured arm stop here from working through her training. Our very own NBS rep Sam (qualified snowboard instructor) dedicated some one 2 one training time for Laura to assist her with general riding improvement and demos. Laura benefited greatly from the private tuition with visible signs of improvement made within the first few hours.
Week 3 again delivered on snowfall, with a few legs feeling the burn from all the fresh powder that had fallen. Full advantage was taken to enjoy the snow, skiing endless fresh tracks during lessons. British Columbia has just been one powtastic province so far this season, with epic snow conditions for everyone to enjoy. Even the dumps of snow didn't put off the crazy Aussies here at Big White as they celebrated Australia day in style boarding and skiing in no more than a pair of board shorts! Chilly!
Our group meal on Friday was a big treat. Our super talented skier Freddie treated us all to some piano action. Playing away to the entire resturant he wowed us all with his quick finger skills. With the snow still dumping everybody enjoyed a few drinks to catch up over the week and headed home to get a good nights rest to enjoy a free ski the following day.
Waking to even more fresh snow, Saturday was a really enjoyable day for the entire NBS crew. It was nice to see everyone out skiing and riding the mountain feeling relaxed after an intense week of lessons. With one last week of tuition before exam time a relaxed weekend was just what the doctor ordered.

How Chuck Jones Defined America Through Cartoons

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
The dancers are Kathryn Tufano and Jeffrey Kazin, and the piece is David Parker's Tender Traps. Like all Parker's clever dances, it belches irony, marrying the comic with the poignant, the light touch with the dark. Here are partners who have to grope for each other because they're covering their eyes, who are so rigid that his arms won't stay around her. While Doris Day and Frank Sinatra sing "Young at Heart" from the score of the eponymous film, Tufano is delicately discovering that she doesn't even like the way Kazin smells. The dialogue and false starts on rehearsal tapes of the movie songs equate with the jolts in this relationship. A momentarily stuck record can cause a foot to backtrack.
Although heard rhythms are a Parker trademark, he's an all-around musical choreographer. Tufano and Kazin slap out a terrific duel of fast dancing to "Ready, Willing, and Able." In the 1998 solo Pop, Tufano plays bold but wary games, trying to get as close as she can to a piece of bubble wrap without stepping on it. When she finally plops down, aural and visual effects come eerily together. The bubbles erupt like gunshots amid the cheery music of Schotts & Dykehead Caledonia Pipe Band.
Parker's offstage voice announces Dances for Dylan Dog as a work-in-progress, forerunner of an extravaganza that'll debut in Verona with a cast of 40. Based on an Italian comic strip and danced to assortment of old pop tunes, it does seem a bit undercooked at this point, but it's fun to watch Kazin and vampish Tufano pursued by "disembodied hands" or dancing around a never-ending kiss.
Dance Theater Workshop
September 30 and October 1, 9, 10
The evening's third premiere, Critical Mass, is the strangest and most enthralling of all. Choreographed and performed by Sara Hook and Parker, it shows a couple whose straight legs, powered by cranking hips, constantly threaten to trip them. Doggedly they dance, now and then tossing a leg high or throwing up their arms as if to solicit applause. Their ungainliness, their distracted air, and the fact that they rarely connect becomes all the more curious when juxtaposed to a recording of Stephen Foster's beautiful duet "Would'st Thou Be Gone, Love?" based on the morning scene from Romeo and Juliet.
We ache for these two without quite knowing why he in a shirt bearing the name and number of Jerry Rice of the San Francisco 49ers, she in a short, iridescent taffeta party dress. This is not a guy who scores myriad touchdowns, and she looks like a faculty wife trying not to lose control. They dazedly bop a bit to a Mozart song that makes their faces hurt, and finally launch a wacky bravura performance. Jigging around, making a lot of energetic little punching gestures, they sing with amazing skill, considering the "La ci darem la mano" duet from Don Giovanni. Who are these people? It doesn't matter. Us, maybe.

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WJCL)- A new program at Memorial Hospital brings some smiles to sick kids faces and helps fill up their belly at the same time.
The Little Chefs Program introduces Memorial's youngest patients to some unique food and culinary techniques.
Working with the hospital's chef's, the patients are able to help prepare some of their own food.
It also helps take their mind off their illness and perhaps inspire them to be chefs themselves.
"It's really exciting," said Jeffrey Quasha, Executive Chef-Memorial. "It's not only exciting for them but it's exciting for us, we get to spend some time interacting with the kids and talking to them and find out what they're eating and what they're not eating but then we also get to experiment and have some fun."
The Little Chefs Program started 8 months ago at Memorial for patients ages 5 through 18.

Adam had just handed him the folders. "Jackson, do you have any idea of why you're here?"
He'd returned to his old Behavioral Science Unit in D.C. to discover that he was being given a new assignment. His leave of absence, it seemed, was somehow permanent.
His last assignment, despite the excellent work done by him and his colleagues, had ended with three of them being dead. Yet if it hadn't been for his intuition, two other fellow agents might have died as well. Local police had not responded to the call sent out, and there was no way to blame himself. Naturally, he did.
Maybe the empathy of his superiors had caused them to give him a new assignment, in a different place—behind a desk.
He'd heard things about Adam Harrison. He'd worked solo over the years—and for the government where the government could not act officially. Adam went in where others did not.
It wasn't because of extreme danger. Rather, it might be considered that he went in because of extreme weirdness.
"No," he said simply.
"First, let me assure you, you are not being let go. You will still be working for Uncle Sam," Adam told him. "The assignments will come from me, but you'll be heading up the team. A new team."
A cushy job somewhere behind a desk that didn't involve serial killers, kidnapping or bodies discovered beneath concrete.
Jackson wasn't sure how he felt; numb, perhaps.
"Take a look at this."
He hadn't had a chance to look at the files yet, but Adam now handed him a month-old New Orleans newspaper bearing the headline Wife of Senator David Hol-loway Dies from Fall into Courtyard.
He looked up at Adam.
"Read the full article," Adam suggested.
He read silently.
Regina Holloway, the wife of beloved state Senator David Holloway, died yesterday in a fall from a balcony at their recently purchased French Quarter mansion on Dauphine Street. Six months ago, the Holloways lost their only son, Jacob, in an accident on I-10. While there is speculation that Regina cast herself over the balcony, David Holloway has strenuously denied such a possibility; his wife was doing well and coming to terms with their loss; they were planning on building a family again.
The police and the coroner's office have yet to issue an official cause of death. The house, one of the grand old Spanish homes in the Quarter, was once the killing ground of the infamous Madden C. Newton, the "carpetbagger" responsible for the torture slayings of at least twenty people. Less than ten years ago, a teenager who had broken into the then-empty house also perished in a fall; the coroner's office ruled his death accidental. The alleged drug dealer had raced into the vacant house to elude police.
An uneasy feeling swept over Jackson, but he calmly set the newspaper back on the desk and looked at Adam Harrison.
"That's a tragic story," he said. "It sounds likely that the poor woman did commit suicide, and the senator is in denial. I'm afraid I've seen other instances in which a woman could not accept the loss of her child."
"Many people are insistent that the house is haunted," Adam said.
"And that a ghost committed this murder?" Jackson asked. He leaned forward in his chair. "I'm not at all sure I believe in ghosts, Adam. And if they did exist, wouldn't they be things of mist and imagination? Hardly capable of tossing a woman over a balcony."
"The senator has friends in high places, though he's still only a state senator. He absolutely insists that his wife did not commit suicide," Adam said.
"Does he suspect murder?" Jackson asked.
"The house was locked, no lower windows were open, and the gate to the courtyard was locked as well."
"Someone could have crawled over the wall or gotten through the gate," Jackson suggested.
Adam nodded. "That's possible, of course. But no witnesses have come forward in the past month to suggest that such a thing might have happened. The death was determined to be a suicide fairly quickly. Are you familiar with the city of New Orleans, the French Quarter or Vieux Carre, specifically?"
An ironic smile curled Jackson's features. "Land of vampires, ghosts, voodoo and fantasy. But some of the world's best cooking, and some truly great music, too."
"All right then. You work in behavioral science. Don't you agree that people's beliefs can create actions and reactions?"
"Yes, of course. Son of Sam Berkowitz believed that howling dogs were demons commanding him to kill. Or, it was a damn good defense."
"Always a skeptic," Adam said. "And yet you're not really, are you?" Now, Adam smiled.
"I am a skeptic, yes. Am I open to possibility? Yes," Jackson said carefully.
"You know, both of your parents were amazing believers," Adam reminded him.
Jackson hesitated.
Yes, they had been believers, both of them, always believing in a higher power, and it didn't matter what path someone took to that power. Jeremiah Crow had been born a member of the Cheyenne Nation, although his ancestry had been so mixed God alone knew exactly what it was. He had loved the spiritualism of his People, and his mother had loved it as well. Nominally Anglican, his mother had once told him that religion wasn't bad; it was meant to be very good. Men corrupted religion; and a man's religious choice didn't matter in the least if it was his path to decency and remembering his fellow man.
But his maternal grandmother had come from the Highlands of Scotland, and her tales of witches and pixies and ghosts had filled his childhood. Maybe that's why it had been while he was in the Highlands, and not on his Native American dream quest, that he had found himself in a position to question life and death and eternity, and all that fell in between.
"You're here because you are the perfect man for this team, Jackson," Adam said. "You're not going to refuse to investigate what seems like the impossible, but you're also not going to assume a ghost is the culprit."
"All right. So you want me to go to New Orleans and find out exactly why this woman died? You do realize there's a good chance that, no matter what the husband wants to believe, she committed suicide."
"Here's the thing, Jackson, most people will believe that she committed suicide. It is the most obvious answer. But I want the truth. Senator Holloway has given his passion to many critical committees in our country. He has made things happen often when the rest of the country sits around twiddling its collective thumbs. He is a man who can weigh the economy and the environment, and come up with solutions. He wants the truth. He's young in politics, barely forty, and if he doesn't bury himself in grief, he will continue to serve the American people with something our politicians have lacked heavily in the past fifty years—complete integrity. People in Washington need him, and I'm asking that you lead the group."
"If it's my assignment, I'll take it on." Jackson paused. "But do I really need a unit?"
"I believe so. I'm giving you a group to dispel or perhaps prove the existence of ghosts in the house. They all have their expertise as investigators as well."
He was quiet, and Adam continued, "When several members of your last unit were killed, you got to the ranch house quickly enough to save Lawson and Do-natello. No one knew where the Pick-Man was killing his victims. No one knew that he had arranged for your agents to be at the ranch house."
Jackson felt his jaw lock, and despite the time he had taken for leave, he swallowed hard. They'd lost good agents. Among them Sally Jennings, forty-five, experienced, and yet vulnerable no matter how many years of service she had seen.
He'd felt that he'd seen Sally; dreamed that he'd seen her, standing there at the house.
And it had been that dream that had brought him to the ranch house, and there he had discovered that she had been the first to die.
"I shot the Pick-Man," he said. "He's dead."
"That was the only chance Lawson and Donatello had, since, had he seen you before you warned him and fired to kill, he'd have put that pick through Donatel-lo's chest," Adam said. "Trust me, I've watched you for years, Jackson. I actually knew your parents."
That was surprising.
Adam might well have known about the event when Jackson had been riding near Stirling, Scotland, and been thrown. His friends had gone on, thinking that he had left them; that he'd won the race and the bet. He'd encountered a stranger after, one who had saved his life. And then.
It had been long ago.
And yet, hell. He'd spent his life debunking ghost stories and dreams like the one he'd had. Finding the truth behind them. Proving that the plantation in Virginia was "haunted" by a cousin of the owner who wanted him out of the estate. Proving that there were no ghosts prowling the Rocky Mountains, that a human being named Andy Sitwell was the Pick-Man, even if he supposedly believed that the ghost of an old gold-seeking mountaineer was causing him to commit murder.
Six months had passed since he had shot and killed the Pick-Man. Six months in which he had tried to mourn the loss of his coworkers. He'd been back to Scotland to visit his mother's family, and he'd spent a month with his father's family—helping them organize their new casinos and hotels.
But he was ready to get back into the kind of work for which he knew he had a talent. Digging. Following clues. Whether it meant studying history, people, beliefs or a trail of blood. He was good at it.
He had the mind for it, and the mind for the kind of unit Adam Harrison was putting together.
"I'm open to possibilities," he said to Adam. "Possibilities—there are a lot of people out there manipulating spiritualism and making a lot of money off the concept of ghosts."
Adam smiled. "That's true, and I actually like your skepticism. As far as believing in ghosts, well, I do," he said. "But that's not important. I've got you scheduled for a flight into Louis Armstrong International Airport at nine tomorrow morning. Is that sufficient time to allow you to get your situation here in order?" His situation here?
The apartment in Crystal City had little in it. All right, a damn decent entertainment center because he loved music and old movies. A closet of adequate and workable clothing. Pictures of the family and friends he had lost.
He nodded. "Sure. What about these?" He lifted the file folders, the dossiers on his new unit. "When do I meet the crew?"
"They'll arrive tomorrow and Wednesday," Adam said. "You've got the dossiers; read up on them first. I figured you might want the house all to yourself for a few hours. Angela arrives first—she'll get in tomorrow evening around six. You'll know who they all are when they arrive if you've done the reading." Adam stood, a clear sign that the interview had come to an end. "Thank you for taking this on," he said.
"Did I actually have a choice?" he asked with a rueful grin.
Adam returned the grin. Jackson was never really going to know.
He started out of the office. Adam called him back.
"You know, you have a gift for this, Jackson. And you can really take on anything you want."
Jackson wasn't sure what that meant, either. "I'll do my best," he promised.
"I know you will. And I know that we'll all know what really happened in that house on Dauphine."
X-Files. The thought came to Jackson's mind as he finished with Adam Harrison.
He went down to his car, still wondering exactly what it was he was getting into.
Yeah, it was sounding like the X-Files. Or Ghost-files.
And he was going to have Ghost-file helpers. Great.
In his car, he glanced through the dossiers, scanning the main, introductory page of each. Angela Hawkins, Whitney Tremont, Jake Mallory, Jenna Duffy and Will Chan. The first woman, at least, was coming from a Virginia police force. Whitney Tremont had started out life in the French Quarter; she had a Creole background and had recently done the camera work for a paranormal cable-television show. Jake Mallory—musician, but a man who had been heavily involved in searches after the summer of storms, and been called in as well during kidnapping cases and disappearances. Then there was Jenna Duffy. A registered nurse from Ireland. Well, they'd be covered in case of any poltergeist attacks. And Will Chan—the man had worked in theater, and as a magician.
It was one hell of a strange team.
Whatever, Jackson figured; it was time he went back to work. There was one thing he'd discovered to be correct—the truth was always out there, you just had to find it.

The wife of Louisiana State Senator David Holloway, Regina falls from the balcony of their mansion to her death. The New Orleans Police Department investigates and concludes Regina committed suicide as she still grieved the loss of her son Jacob due to a DUI several months ago.
Adam Harrison sends his special investigative team to New Orleans to look into the Holloway death. The unit is led by Jackson Crow, who used to work for the Fed's Behavioral Sciences Unit. He, his team of five, and paranormal pragmatic Virginia police officer Angela Hawkins who can detect the supernatural arrive at the Holloway mansion in the French Quarters. Their mission is to determine whether the supernatural was involved in the woman's fall. Soon they revise the objective to staying alive.
No one writes romantic urban fantasy better than Heather Graham does as she consistently blends suspense with the paranormal. Her latest thriller Phantom Evil uses the disturbing past of people who resided in what appears to be a haunted house with modern day supernatural happenings. Readers will hear the bumps in the night as Ms. Graham provides another powerful New Orleans paranormal romantic suspense thriller.

It's been a long, long time since I've read a book that I didn't want to put down, and then thought about when I couldn't read it. "Phantom Evil" is that kind of book. It called to me, tempting me to stop doing those things I must and instead sit and read. I read late into the night and resented the fatigue that finally caused me to set the book aside. I was simply intrigued by this book, both by the premise and by the characters.
Ms. Graham first and foremost did a great job with her group of six investigators, all of whom were both distinct individuals and truly interesting people. Though they all had the commonality of a belief in the paranormal due to brushes with such throughout their lives, they were not all deeply into "woo-woo". In fact, their belief in the truth of ghosts and such made them more skeptical of claims of haunting. Fascinating.
The circumstances surrounding Regina Holloway's death - did a ghost push her or did she jump? - were only one of several mysteries this book tackles. We have a dark evil, ghosts of children, a cult, and so much more. All these threads are deeply interwoven and, when our investigators tug at one, sometimes others came unraveled.
I absolutely loved trying to puzzle together the clues as they were uncovered. Which were real clues? Which mattered to the case and which were red herrings? I was so pleased that we were only given the points-of-view of our investigators and weren't allowed to see into the minds of others. I dislike reading mysteries when we're allowed to either know whodunit or see into the mind of the antagonist.
The connection between the six investigators was instant and believable and I truly hope Ms. Graham has future books planned for all of them. In this book, the main protagonists are Jackson, the team leader, and Angela, the investigator who seems to trigger all the paranormal events that occur. They're the first two to meet, and it's evident there is an attraction between them, one that I hoped they'd act upon.
This book never quite crossed the line into "horror", but had its moments of evil and terror. Still, the focus remained on the investigation, and it's primarily a mystery with romantic elements. Well written, well plotted, evenly and quickly paced, "Phantom Evil" hit all my happy buttons and left every part of me well satisfied: the mystery lover and the romantic.
I do admit that the ending felt a smidge rushed, but it didn't dispel my feelings of good-will toward this book, and certainly won't keep it off my keeper shelf.
If you're looking for a strong mystery that'll keep you guessing to the end, if you like your romantic suspense with a touch of "woo woo" and a satisfying ending I highly recommend you pick up a copy of Phantom Evil.

I was hoping this would be an interesting read; however, it turned out to be a shallow mystery with limited character development and little exploration of the more interesting aspects of the ghostly phenomena. The characters were so one-dimensional it was hard to like or dislike them....a waste of good reading time.

This is a terrible, terrible book. Absolute nonsense, and the writing is abysmal. For example, she says " they got what they received" when plainly she meant "deserved." Yeah, duh, if you get something you receive it, that made no sense at all. The characters are so one dimensional it is inadvertently funny.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

This book is for someone that has a love for the city of New Orleans, enjoys a book that is well written and fast paced with very realistic characters.
Phantom Evil would make a good book for a discussion session(s) for a book club that appreciates a book like this, even if it is for leisure reading. Each time you read it you pick up on something that was missed on prior reading(s).
Heather Graham books are all good for reading and I have read and own a large number of her books and will continue to do so.

Review originally posted at Romancing the Book
Ms. Graham did it again with a book that pulls you in from the beginning captivating her audience long after they are done reading.
She takes us deep into the French Quarters of New Orleans, with her way of describing the scenery she puts us smack dab in the middle of the suspense. As we travel through the French Quarters we find ourselves at the mansion of Senator David Holloway. The Senators wife jumped to her death, he wants to find out why because he doesn't think that it was suicide over the grief of the loss of their child.
Enlisted to find the mystery behind the mansion and the death of his wife is a special team of investigators known as the Krewe of Hunters. Adam Harrison heads this special group. It consists of six members, each in different government positions. Within this group each person has a special ability that helps them when dealing with the paranormal.
He sends Angela Hawkins and Jackson Crew, who leads this team; out to investigate the old mansion which is filled with intriguing mysteries. While investigating Angela and Jackson find themselves butting heads with a little hint of romance, just enough to tease your senses.
Ms. Graham brings the beauty of the New Orleans's French Quarter and mixes in her own blend of the haunted beauty to keep you captivated. Giving up little pieces of the ending to make you think that you know what happened but in all actuality you don't until the very end.
I thoroughly enjoyed Phantom Evil. Ms. Graham brought the past into the present as she mixed the paranormal with human elements (human nature, instincts) leaving you thinking/hinting that this could possibly be real.
I loved this ghost or was it a ghost story. Where you come face to face with the characters and you feel as if you are right in the middle of all the action that is going on.

Six members are recruited to join a secret government unit to
investigate paranormal cases. Jackson Crow heads the group, and is
himself haunted by an experience from childhood. Skeptical, he can't
help but wonder if this unit is more a punishment than anything else.
Angela Hawkins has hidden her abilities since childhood. Now asked to
embrace her gift, she finds herself with more than she bargained for.
The team heads to a historic mansion in New Orleans where a senator's
wife has committed suicide. Or so everyone thinks. As answers are
uncovered, more questions remain. Did the woman kill herself, or did
something unseen have a hand in her death? I've been a Graham fan for
years, and couldn't wait for this series. Part secret op, part
paranormal, all romance. Add in a murder mystery, and you've got me
hooked. The secondary characters were so lovable, and I'm looking
forward to their stories. Ghosts are hard to put down on paper and still
give you that haunting chill like seeing it on screen. Graham pulls it
off. And not without her typical humor and wit. I found myself turning
each page wondering if it was ghost or human who did the deed.

5 things to know after Broncos beat Chargers 28-20
SAN DIEGO (AP) — Peyton Manning and the rest of the Denver Broncos will present a game ball to John Fox as soon as the coach rejoins them after recovering from heart surgery.
"We look forward to giving it to him in person," Manning said after the Broncos beat the San Diego Chargers on Sunday in their first game since Fox had his aortic valve replaced. Fox was released from the hospital Friday and will continue his recovery at his offseason home in Charlotte, N.C.
With interim coach Jack Del Rio in charge, Manning threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns, three to Demaryius Thomas.
Manning said he spoke with Fox by phone on Saturday before the Broncos flew to San Diego.
"I told him not to be yelling at me during the game. It's not good for his blood pressure," Manning said. "I'm not sure we'll see if he did or didn't. But he was in our thoughts. Coach Del Rio has done a good job all week keeping us updated on coach Fox."
Fox planned to watch the game on TV, a team spokesman said. If he watched, he probably didn't like seeing Manning hurting his right ankle when he was hit by Corey Liuget as the Broncos ran out the clock in the closing minutes. Manning stayed in the game.
Manning wouldn't be specific about his injury, but said he was "pretty sore" and that he planned to have an MRI on Monday.
Manning was hurt after completing a pass to Thomas with 1:44 left.
Manning kept the Broncos (8-1) rolling. He threw touchdown passes of 11, 7 and 34 yards to Thomas on consecutive drives spanning the second and third quarters, staking the Broncos to a 28-6 lead.
The Chargers (4-5) closed the gap late in the second half but couldn't catch up.
Here are five things we learned about the Broncos and Chargers on Sunday:
NOT MANNING UP: Manning wasn't forthcoming when asked about his injury. "I feel like the injury report is very revealing for the opponents as well as the folks in Vegas, so I guess somewhere in that lower body," Manning said. Asked about playing in the Broncos' showdown with AFC West leader Kansas City (9-0) next Sunday night, Manning said: "I totally plan on it."
INSIDE THE NUMBERS: Manning has thrown for 3,249 yards and 33 touchdowns in nine games. He completed 25 of 36 passes against the Chargers. The Broncos have scored 371 points, the most through the first nine games of a season in NFL history. The previous high of 358 was by the 1950 Los Angeles Rams. Julius Thomas had a 74-yard catch-and-run on Denver's first drive, turning a short pass into the second-longest play by a tight end in team history.
TIME'S ON THEIR SIDE: The Broncos' scoring drives lasted 57 seconds, 2:27, 1:25, and 3:26. "You knew it wasn't going to be many possessions and we had to be efficient when we had the ball," Manning said. Nick Novak's missed 37-yard field goal attempt for San Diego late in the second quarter gave Manning enough time to move the Broncos 73 yards in nine plays, all passes, capped by his 7-yard scoring throw to Demaryius Thomas for a 21-6 lead before halftime. Manning threw only one incompletion that drive. The Broncos got the opening kickoff of the second half and went 78 yards in eight plays, with Thomas' 34-yard TD catch giving the Broncos a 28-6 lead. "So it's a 14-point swing — the difference in the ballgame," Manning said.

Keep in mind that the 1897-98 construction was a rebuild and widening of an earlier underpass/"subway" on Queen.
224 Wallace Avenue at a converted factory from 1922. Now closed, the Korex factory has one on site. The Christie bakery also has one. However, the last two look more modern than the one on Wallace. I think we should preserve such interesting aspects of industrial history. With the recent demolition of an old brick smokestack on the GE Canada Davenport site without much controversy, I fear that old industrial smokestacks will also soon be demolished and forgotten even though they're interesting historical markers that can enliven an area with a greater sense of its own history.

December 14, 2014 - March 8, 2015
Presented in partnership with PHYLLIS R. & WILLIAM C. H. GRIMM, JR.
This exhibition was inspired by the artist's visits to federal wilderness areas around the country in the last two years. The diversity and vitality of environments that comprise the National Wilderness Preservation System – from southwest canyons and high peaks, east and west seashores, to lowland swamps and deserts – are reflected in these oil and gouache paintings.
Pennsylvania artist Thomas Paquette pays tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Wilderness Act that set aside lands that thrive not by industry and scientific progress but by the forces of nature alone, protected from significant human intrusion.
57th MID-STATES ART EXHIBITION
December 14, 2014 – March 8, 2015.
Presented in partnership with

Over $10,000 in purchase and merit awards, underwritten by Evansville individuals, corporations, foundations and philanthropic organizations will be presented on the December 13 awards evening. Purchase awards allow the Museum to acquire works for the contemporary art collection, and merit awards are important for the encouragement and recognition of regional artists.
Juror for the competition is artist and educator Ephraim Rubenstein. After receiving his BA in Art History from Columbia University, Rubenstein earned his MFA in Painting from Columbia University's School of the Arts. He has had ten solo exhibitions in the Tibor de Nagy Gallery, Tatistcheff & Co. and the George Billis Gallery.
From 1987-1998 he was associate professor of art at the University of Richmond. He has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design and the Maryland Institute College of Art, and he is currently on the faculty at Columbia University, the National Academy of Design and the Art Students League.
Curt Uebelhor: Mixed Media
January 11 - March 29, 2015
Recent mixed media work by artist and educator Curtis R. Uebelhor of Ferdinand, Indiana are featured in the John Streetman Alcove. Uebelhor, a graduate of the University of Southern Indiana, earned his Master of Fine Art degree from the University of Southern Illinois-Edwardsville. He has taught art at Boonville Junior High School in Boonville, Indiana since 1997 and previously served as the Assistant Director of the New Harmony Gallery of Contemporary Art.
A frequent exhibitor and award winner in the Evansville Museum's annual "Working Together" exhibition, presented in cooperation with the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana, Uebelhor also participates in competitive and invitational exhibitions throughout the Midwest.
In 2009, the Arts Council of Southwestern Indiana named him the Warrick County Artist of the Year.

Claims Balance Disbursement Report (HINCREMT)
This function enables the process of disbursing the unclaimed balances of reimbursement types at the end of their validity periods.
Depending on the type of reimbursement, the unclaimed balances can be monetary (amount) or non-monetary (number of units) in nature. You typically run this report at the end of the validity period of a particular reimbursement type.
As you can disburse the claims balances only once within a validity period, it is advisable that you first process the Status for Claims report (HINCREMS). Ensure that the employee information in this report is correct before processing the Claims Balance Disbursement report (HINCREMT).
You have configured the reimbursement wage types for your employees. For more information, refer to the IMG activity under
You have configured the Pay and Tax reimbursement wage types in the table view Salary year for pay scale grouping for allowances (V_T7INAA).
The system processes the balance disbursement based on the End Date of the validity period, and the reimbursement type. The date of claim disbursement need not be the same as the End Date for the validity period. For example, Leave Travel Allowance has the eligibility period as a financial year, with an End Date of 31 st March. This is the Validity Period End Date . You may however, disburse the amount only on 30 th April. In this case, 30 th April will be the Payment Date .
You can also execute the Claims Balance Disbursement report (HINCREMT) for multiple reimbursement types. This option is useful when you are processing multiple reimbursement types that have the same End Date for their validity period.
For example, the reimbursement types Medical Reimbursement , and Conveyance Allowance, have a yearly validity period, and 31 st March as the Validity Period End Date . Using the Claims Balance Disbursement report (HINCREMT), you simultaneously process the disbursement of both these wage types.
You can execute this report for an employee or a range of employees, based on:
Payroll Area
Personnel numbers
To access the report from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose.
Enter the relevant selection criteria.
To execute the report, choose
For the selected range of employee numbers, the report displays information such as different types of reimbursements claimed, the validity period or a reimbursement type, employee eligibility, and the amount or units disbursed. In the case of claims that are denominated in terms of amounts as well as units, the system will disburse only the amount.
For example, a yearly Stitching Allowance of Rs.2000/- that can be claimed only twice within the year. Rs.500 is the unclaimed balance, and the employee has submitted a claim only once within the validity period. In this case, the system will disburse Rs. 500 as an unclaimed balance.
When you process the Claims Balance Disbursement report (HINCREMT), the system updates the Additional Payments infotype (0015) and the table view Claims carry forward (V_T7INAE).

Palestinians adopt UN human rights treaties to end torture, discrimination
Published on May 3, 2014 12:13 AM
GENEVA (AFP) - Palestine on Friday became a formal party to five global treaties banning torture and racial discrimination, and protecting the rights of women, children and the disabled, the UN said.
Rupert Colville, spokesman for the UN human rights office, told reporters that the move followed the Palestinians' April 2 declaration to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon that they were adopting the treaties.
In addition, Palestine will on May 7 become party to an accord protecting children in conflict zones - which is an optional part of the overall child rights treaty - and on July 2 it will adopt two agreements governing civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights.
"This accession to seven core human rights treaties and a key protocol is a significant step towards enhancing the promotion and protection of human rights in Palestine," Coville told reporters.

One for the ghetto
Two for the hood
Three for the all
Four for the good
from Lupe Fiasco – Hood Now (Outro) Lyrics on Genius
…And none for the niggas tryna hold them back!
Aside from just being a shoutuot, this could elude to Lupe's albums. His first two albums , F&L and the Cool both dealt with issues that are present in the hood. His third album, Lasers was something that was meant to appeal to a larger scope of people ("the all"), lyrically and sound-wise. It seems that this fourth album, The Great American Rap Album, which is the most political Lupe's made so far, was created to spark conversation and debate, which educates the people listening to it.

Job Market in Australia. The Australian economy has been converted from one which was dependent on manufacturing sometime ago to one which is now based upon the services sector. Conclusion. While there are still many job opportunities in Australia the government is beginning to clamp down on the number of skilled workers moving from overseas. As the domestic Australian workforce develops and adopts new skills of its own we will likely see a further reduction in the number of skilled workers coming from overseas.

Yah, it's really hard to say. I have decided not to take my chances with that, and instead take my chances that the craigslist buyer isn't a murderer
Original Poster
Staples finally fixed my order... purchased for $420 after tax.
These have MS Office, run flash sites, and an optional keyboard... unlike iPad. Play movies no problem and have a sick 18+ hour battery life.
What applications do you need? All the tablet games blow. My kids like them but they are barely above Atari 2600 quality. Angry birds is one of the few decent games... and it's available on RT.
Good enough for me.
For those of you thinking of buying the Windows RT tablets, I suspect that it will end up being a dead end. There is just enough news about upcoming low powered x86 chips that will be able to cheaply drive full Windows in a tablet (especially the quad core Temash at if it comes in around 1ghz, but there will be 22nm Atoms in the near future as well).
I think Windows RT will end up being a stop-gap product to get Windows in the tablet space at the $400 mark; but I think where Microsoft will make the next push is with low power dual and quad core Temash and dual and quad core low power Valleyview atoms (with ivy bridge based graphics).
That being said, none of this really matters if you plan to upgrade tablets on a near yearly cycle; it only matters if you were counting on Windows RT updates throughout the next year or two.
If you really want something to laugh at, check out that 1080p Chromebook hitting the market. This Tablet does everything (but screen resolution) better than that overpriced thing, not least offline work that's nearly impossible in the Chrome OS.
I also find Windows RT to be significant faster/snappier than any Android or iPad tablet. That's something too. And again, 16+ hours of battery life is totally unmatched.
Try price-matching to something in-store at Best Buy. Worked for me!
Enjoying all the people who think Microsoft is going to die. They're sitting on $7 billion in cash. The product strategy is going to follow the Xbox model - take a loss on them for years until the business becomes profitable.
Frankly, I don't understand why anyone would want Microsoft to die. Innovation happens as a result of competition in the market, so if you're an Apple fan or you love green robots, having a healthy, innovating Microsoft around is a good thing to make sure that your preferred platform doesn't go stagnant. This is not a team sport. This is a product you consume. You'll throw it away in a year and get another one.
The post about competition is spot on. These are not your favorite sports teams, they are brands. The more competition the better all the products and their prices will be.
Postscript, folks: Anyone found a damn charging cable for this thing? I'm so impressed with everything about this product, EXCEPT accessories. How could Asus launch this thing without making a spare charging cable available? And also, they're purposefully vague about whether you can charge from any USB port/charger.
I noticed there's a lot of confusion out there about what kind of plug this thing takes, but it's definitely not the same as the other Asus Transformer tablets.

Bob Hewitt's lawyer has revealed that the former tennis doubles star has been charged with rape and sexual assault of minors at a court in South Africa.
Alwyn Griebenow said that Hewitt, who would go on trial in February 2015, has denied the three charges, which are related to his time coaching children in South Africa in the 1980s.
According to the BBC, Hewitt, who won nine Grand Slam doubles and six mixed doubles titles in the 1960s and 1970s, appeared at Boksburg Magistrate's Court, Johannesburg, for the first time on Friday.
The Australian-born's lawyer said that Hewitt told the court that he understands the charges, adding that his client would plead not guilty to all three charges, two of rape and one of indecent assault, at his trial.

I have a question about 4d rotation:
I programmed a little 4d game and I used the classical hyper-sphere coordinates, to rotate a vector.
It works, but it has some problems :(
(just for clarity I take the cartesian coordinates, translate in hypersphere coordinates, add the angle I wish than translate back to cartesian)
This procedure causes gimbal locks and approximation errors.
I'm asking you if it is possible like in 3d to have quaterinions to manage the rotations?
btw I'll prefer to not use rotation matrix, which has other problems :(
Thx in advance for the help,
btw if you want to have a look at the game:

But Lane only has praise for Portman's acting triumph. "I think she is a really beautiful actress," the ballerina said. "I loved working with her. And she was really focused on her character every day. I definitely think she deserves, all the credit that she got with the Oscar."
Lane acknowledged that she'd signed a contract that would not guarantee her on-screen credits.
"I didn't really specify anything in my contract about getting onscreen credit or anything," said Lane. "I didn't do the movie to get fame or recognition or anything."
Lane said her feelings about being credited changed late last year after Portman received an Oscar nomination for best actress and the movie's backers began an aggressive campaign on the actress's behalf.
"There's so much emotionally that goes into motivating yourself and being able to physically push yourself to reach a certain level, that you have to reach to be a professional ballerina with one of the biggest ballet companies in the world and to sustain that standard over a whole career," Lane said. "It really hurts for someone to say that, they got a personal trainer and they became what I spent blood, sweat and tears doing every day, all my life, in just a year and a half."
"A lot of the campaign was focused on the physical preparation, the transformation," Cagle said. "The Academy loves it when an actor does something besides act in a movie. There was in a lot of the marketing materials for "Black Swan," certainly the implication that Natalie became a great world class ballet dancer."
Lane acknowledged that while Portman trained hard for the film, her dancing technique was nowhere near as good as hers.
"I've been doing this for 22 years, and to say that someone trained for a year and a half and did what I did is degrading not only to me but to the entire ballet world," Lane said.
Wendy Perron, editor-in-chief of Dance Magazine, a choreographer and a dancer, said she knew of Lane's role in "Black Swan" and wondered why a soloist ballerina whose technical skills were vital to the complicated dance sequences was being cast out of the limelight.
"She's an artist," Perron said. "It's not just that it was difficult. It's that she brought an artistry to it, and Natalie Portman is a dramatic artist, a film artist. But Sarah Lane is a dance artist, and she helped make the movie what it was. ... It bothered me. I think she should get credit for it."
Perron wrote her opinion in a blog that was soon picked up in the national media, and "Black Swan" filmmakers moved swiftly to defend their star.
Portman has continued to decline to comment on the controversy, and told E! News last week, "I had a chance to make something beautiful with this film, and I don't want to give in to the gossip."
For Lane, the silver lining in this controversy may just be that ballet is taking center stage in a national discussion. An unanticipated opportunity to share the commitment and dedication of all ballet dancers.
"I have so much respect for this art form and the people who are able to do it so beautifully and I want to stand up for that," she said. "I want people to know how hard we work as professional dancers. What is not necessarily, really portrayed in the movie, is the beauty that ballet can create. How it can reach across oceans, and how it can bond countries who are completely at war."

'Odd' aging group trying to give away bundle
Oh, dignitaries of ...
"Of the order. I'm a (state) director emeritus of the Rebekahs, so I would be introduced."
Even though you're also the noble grand?
"They escort the dignitaries. Right now we have an officer of the (state) grand lodge that's in our lodge. Danny Williams is a 'grand herald' of the grand lodge. He always gets introduced."
Even though everyone knows him?
"Oh, yeah. It's an honor. Then they have the minutes. Then they call for committee reports. Well, there are no committees. New business, old business. Well, there is no old business. There is no new business.
"We have to have something in these meetings, so I decided Floyd would do current events and read something out of the paper that day. Then someone else would read something on health or education, and someone else would do something inspirational or funny. Then we closed. Then we spent most of our time socializing around a cupcake or something."
Why don't you read my column to them? I lust for audience.
"Oh, OK. I'll read it. I'm current events now since Floyd died."
Is the meeting sad?
"It is sad, because I remember when I came here in 1981, there were two and three people running for noble grand. Now you have to beg somebody to be noble grand."
Now, back to your pot of gold. When you disband, can you donate the $600,000 to charities of your choice?
"Well, yeah."
Malin points out that the lodge already supports a low-cost housing project in San Diego. She says there is nothing in the charter or bylaws to prohibit giving the money to charity.
I ask: But if you lose your quorum, then you can't call a meeting to disperse money, so it would then go to the state by default. Is that right?
"Yes. Tomorrow night is my last meeting to preside, and I'm going to say that we need to set out a two-year plan to either disband or grow. But we've tried to grow. We've even advertised in the paper."
From a parliamentary standpoint, if you can't hold a meeting, you can't say, "This is it." Correct?
"That's right."
And if you can't get a quorum, you can't hold a meeting to disburse the money. Then the state (organization) will swoop in and take it, right?
Maybe someone's going to say, "Let's end it now."
"Well, let's hope someone says that."
Actually, if you want to help worthy charities with that $600,000, sounds like you'd better act.
"We have to act."
She adds: "It's sad that it's all coming to an end like this. It's sad to see it, because at one time, it really was active and germane to what was going on in the world, but it's not anymore. It's not."
Do you think fraternal groups have outlived their purpose?
"Uh-huh. I do."
Is it time to just fade into the sunset?
"I think so. I really do."
Samuel Butler wrote a novel a century ago with a title that outlives the plot. It speaks to Malin's lodge. It speaks to all of us: "The Way of All Flesh."
As pedestrians pass the stately old Classical Revival building on Market Street, they might ask what the IOOF atop the front stands for. Someone will know. However, as the years pass, the question will still be asked, but fewer will know. Until one day ...

I asked Hennessy to clarify that statement. "From the beginning," she told me, "they had serious doubts as to the reason for Terri's collapse. Then, when they first heard about the bone-scan report in November of last year, they tried to file a report with the police on a possible battery on Terri. But the police wouldn't help them."
The family believes that after Terri and her husband had a violent argument earlier on the evening she collapsed, Terri might have been strangled later that night. Says Pat Anderson, the lawyer for Terri's parents:
"Governor Jeb Bush should order the state-wide prosecutor of Florida to convene a jury to investigate all of this." And the Advocacy Center for Persons With Disability has that 1991 bone-scan report. Will the courts wait for the investigationsor hurry to send her into eternity? Should Michael Schiavo have the guardianship power to terminate her?
