Political and business leaders are gathering to discuss the major issues and challenges facing Michigan, and to hear from guest speakers. Statewide elections are just five months away, so both parties have a lot of work to do between then and now. We got the views from the Michigan leaders of both parties.

Listen Listening... / 3:38 Week in Michigan Politics interview for 5/28/14 ASSEMBLE aims to bring the Mackinac Policy Conference to everyone By Stateside Staff & Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 27, 2014 XGamesDetroit / YouTube Listen Listening... / 4:54 Imagine the streets of Detroit running rampant with car races, motocross competitions, skateboarding, and other insanity. That's what the organizers of ASSEMBLE pictured when they created this video to convince ESPN to choose Detroit as the new home for its summer X Games. Despite the epic video, ESPN chose Austin for the games. But the energy and the spirit of the campaign lives on in ASSEMBLE, a group that aims to use community engagement to rebuild Detroit. One of the recent efforts of ASSEMBLE is offering a way for new voices to become a part of important policy conversations in Michigan – the kinds of conversations that happen at the upcoming Mackinac Policy Conference put on by the Detroit Regional Chamber. For those of you who can't afford the $2,700 ticket, ASSEMBLE@Mackinac(ish) could be for you. Garret Koehler and Kevin Krease, the co-creators of ASSEMBLE, and they joined us to share what exactly ASSEMBLE@Mackinac(ish) hopes to accomplish. *Listen to the full interview above. – Paige Pfleger, Michigan Radio Newsroom Why Michigan Republicans could start winning more elections By Jack Lessenberry • Sep 23, 2013 Listen Listening... / 2:59 Lessenberry commentary for 9/23/13 There's no denying that some elements in the so-called Tea Party have been scaring moderate and independent voters away from the Republicans. But if Democrats think it is going to be easy to defeat Governor Rick Snyder, and make big gains in next year's statewide elections, they may be guilty of self-deluding themselves. I didn't go to the Republican Party's annual leadership conference on Mackinac Island last week, though I followed it closely. And I think that there were hints at Mackinac of two major stories emerging on the horizon. Commentary: Remembering Helen By Jack Lessenberry • Jun 4, 2013 Listen Listening... / 2:50 Lessenberry commentary for 6/4/2013 Thirty-four years ago, when Debbie Stabenow was a newly elected state representative in a very male-dominated legislature, she got the first of a number of encouraging notes from an older woman who had spent a lot of years in the fishbowl of politics. Those notes meant a lot to Stabenow, as she went on to become a force to be reckoned with in first the state house and then the senate; in Congress and finally in the U.S. Senate. What made that support all the more remarkable is that Stabenow is a Democrat. And the woman who reached out to her was the wife of the Republican governor, Helen Milliken, perhaps the least likely and most effective feminist in Michigan history. Commentary: Struggle for a Party's Soul By Jack Lessenberry • Jun 3, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:09 Lessenberry commentary for 6/3/2013 There were, in a way, two conferences taking place among the state's business and political elite on Mackinac Island last week. One was a celebration of Michigan's comeback from the darkest days of the great recession, and of the new business-friendly climate flourishing under Governor Rick Snyder. Make no mistake about it: Richard Dale Snyder is the most business-oriented governor this state has had since World War II. That's in large part because he is a businessman. He speaks their language. During his closing remarks, the governor sounded like a motivational speaker sent out to fire up a sluggish sales force. "What's the role of government?" he asked, answering, "Government exists to give you great customer service!" Governor Snyder encounters choppy (political) waters on Mackinac Island By Zoe Clark & Rick Pluta • Jun 1, 2013 Listen Listening... / 5:20 It's Just Politics with Zoe Clark and Rick Pluta This week we are taping It's Just Politics at the Detroit Regional Chamber's Policy Conference on Mackinac Island. This is an annual statewide event where business people and politicians come to plot the future of Michigan. Big shots. Serious stuff. Except, of course, for the iced-vodka luge.Really this is Rick Snyder's party. Most of the people that attend the conference are his people: Moderate, but right-of-center business folks, impressed by cutting taxes and balanced budgets. Two years ago at this conference, the Governor had only been in office for six months and, in his words, "working in dog years." One Tough Nerd came to the conference with a state budget done in record time; nothing like the budget gridlock we saw in a couple showdowns in the Granholm years (2007 and 2009 were doozies). Also, in that six months, Snyder had gotten a couple big wins on tax policy and it sure seemed like he was simpatico with the Legislature's Republican majority. Basically, the 2011 Mackinac Policy Conference was Rick Snyder's jam. The week in review: Mackinac Policy Conference, Schauer runs for Governor, and the Ambassador Bridge By Rina Miller & Jack Lessenberry • Jun 1, 2013 Lester Graham / Michigan Radio On Saturdays, Michigan Radio's Rina Miller checks in with our political analyst, Jack Lessenberry. This week, Lessenberry attended the Mackinac Policy Conference. He says one of the takeaways this year is that the business community is happy with the state's direction. "[They are] encouraged by the direction in which Michigan is going. They're very happy in general with Governor Synder, but there's a lot of concern about education," Lessenberry said. Education was discussed more this year than in past years. Mark Schauer's run Mothering Justice questions spectacle of Mackinac Policy Conference By Jennifer White • May 31, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:55 The Detroit Regional Chamber's Annual Mackinac Policy Conference wrapped up on Thursday. Jennifer White was on the island and talked with two members of Mothering Justice, a left-leaning advocacy group that works on issues important to mothers and families. Commentary: Testing and teaching By Jack Lessenberry • May 31, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:09 Lessenberry commentary for 5/31/13 Here's something I've noticed about education reform. Whenever anybody proposes anything, people tend to react in a knee-jerk fashion based as much on whom the speaker is as what they say. I noticed this yesterday, when I told a variety of people that former Washington, DC schools chancellor Michelle Rhee would be a keynote speaker at this week's Mackinac Island conference. Teachers especially take a jaded view of Rhee. They see her as anti-union, and are especially skeptical of her push for merit pay. I myself have had a somewhat jaded view of Rhee for different reasons. There is a fair amount of evidence that many of her claims have been exaggerated. I was not impressed when her lobbying group, Students First, poured money into an unsuccessful knee-jerk attempt to fight a complex local recall election in Michigan two years ago. But Michelle Rhee said a lot of things to the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce's conference yesterday that liberals and conservatives all need to hear. She began by noting that this may well be the first generation of Americans who will be less educated than their parents – which, if true, ought to frighten all of us. In this morning's news: Rhee speaks at Mackinac, local woman killed in Syria, Michigan entrepreneurs By Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 31, 2013 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Michelle Rhee advocates for Common Core Michelle Rhee spoke yesterday at the Mackinac Policy Conference in favor of maintaining the Common Core curriculum in Michigan. According to the Associated Press, "Rhee is a self-described lifelong Democrat who has clashed with teachers' unions, one of the party's key constituencies. During her speech, she called for honoring the teaching profession but demanding more accountability and rewarding the best teachers with more pay." Michigan woman killed in Syrian conflict 33 year old Nicole Lynn Mansfield of Flint, Michigan has been killed while fighting for the Syrian opposition movement. "Speelman's mother Monica Mansfield Speelman tells the Detroit Free Press that her niece was a convert to Islam who married an Arab immigrant several years ago but later divorced him. Syrian news reports say that Mansfield and two other westerners killed with her were fighters for the opposition to Syria's government and were killed in a confrontation in Idlib," the Associated Press reports. Michigan universities produce young entrepreneurs A new report from the Anderson Economic Group states that Michigan's three largest universities produce twice as many entrepreneurs as the national average. According to Rick Pluta, "The report says almost half of the new businesses started by college grads have been started or acquired in Michigan. University officials say they've revamped their curriculum in recent years to encourage entrepreneurship among students."

What's being said about education at the Mackinac Policy Conference By Stateside Staff • May 30, 2013 Mercedes Mejia / Michigan Radio Listen Listening... / 4:36 An interview with Rick Pluta about the Mackinac Policy Conference. It's day-two on Mackinac Island at the Detroit Regional Chamber's annual policy conference. Rick Pluta, Lansing Bureau Chief for the Michigan Public Radio Network, has been in attendance, and he said there has been a lot of focus placed on education reform. "All of this is happening under the backdrop of an education budget that was just sent to Governor Snyder that basically stalled enactment of the Common Core Standards," Pluta said. "The national standards are supposed to make sure that every state and every school are measuring student performance in the same fashion." The other piece of legislation that is stalled right now is the expansion of the Educational Achievement Authority, which is only operating in Detroit right now. Some lawmakers want to expand it statewide. Pluta says there's a lot of pressure on the Legislature right now. He joined us from the Mackinac Policy Conference to tell us more about education and other topics being discussed at the conference. Listen to the full interview above.

Rhee praises Michigan school reform progress By The Associated Press • May 30, 2013 MIVote MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich. (AP) - Education reform crusader Michelle Rhee says Michigan is making progress toward improving its schools but has more to do. Rhee is the former chancellor of the Washington, D.C., public schools and founder of an advocacy group called StudentsFirst. She spoke Thursday during the annual Detroit Regional Chamber policy conference at Mackinac Island. Rhee is a self-described lifelong Democrat who has clashed with teachers' unions, one of the party's key constituencies. During her speech, she called for honoring the teaching profession but demanding more accountability and rewarding the best teachers with more pay. She also supports school voucher programs, which are unpopular with many Democrats who believe they drain money from public schools. Rhee praised Michigan's Educational Achievement Authority, which was created to improve the state's lowest-performing schools. Watch her speech here (scroll one hour in): Watch the panel on the value of early childhood education By Mark Brush • May 30, 2013 Steve Burt 1947 / Flickr Michigan Radio's State of Opportunity team has been covering the research around early childhood education and the role it plays in a child's development. That topic was discussed at the 2013 Mackinac Policy Conference this morning. The Legislature and Governor Snyder have shown interest in boosting early ed programs in the state, but how much should they commit, and what kinds of programs work? Michigan Radio's Jennifer White led a panel discussion on early education in Michigan. Watch the discussion below (scroll five minutes in): Panelists included: Carla D. Thompson, vice president for program strategy, W.K. Kellogg Foundation Rob Grunewald, economist, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis Bob Harbison, board member, Smart Start Oklahoma Commentary: The Republican dilemma By Jack Lessenberry • May 30, 2013 Listen Listening... / 3:11 Lessenberry commentary for 5/30/2013 Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush did a number of things on Mackinac Island yesterday. He managed to completely pack the Grand Hotel's auditorium as the first major speaker of the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce's annual conference. He made some connections for what could be—could be—a run for the presidency three years from now. He gave intelligent and well-thought out perspectives on education and immigration reform. But he also illustrated the huge dilemma facing today's Republican Party, especially on immigration. Bush artfully sketched out the outlines of a policy that would actively encourage more immigrants, especially those who are well-educated and have needed skills. He would take us from a policy where most immigration is done for family reunification to one based on our nation's economic priorities. That would seem to make a lot of sense. In this morning's news: Bush at Mackinac, push to repeal gay marriage ban, Snyder on DIA By Michigan Radio Newsroom • May 30, 2013 User: Brother O'Mara / flickr Jeb Bush endorses school choice at Mackinac Policy Conference "Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush told a large business and political conference on Mackinac Island that Michigan and other states should clear the way for more charter and online schools. He also urged Michigan to stick with the Common Core education standards," reports Rick Pluta. Michigan Democrats push for marriage equality Yesterday, Democrats in the Michigan state senate announced their intent to introduce legislation repealing the state's same-sex marriage ban. "Democratic Sen. Rebekah Warren of Ann Arbor says polling shows more Michiganders support gay marriage than just a year ago. She also said that married couples enjoy a host of legal protections, and removing Michigan's ban would ensure gay couples can be legal parents to their adoptive children," according to the Associated Press. Snyder comments on sale of DIA collection "Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder says he hopes Detroit's financial crisis doesn't force emergency manager Kevyn Orr to sell off items from the collection of the Detroit Institute of Art... Orr says the DIA's collection could face sale if Detroit seeks bankruptcy protection...Snyder said yesterday at the Mackinac Policy Conference that the DIA is 'important to the livelihood of the city" and that "the goal is not to sell the assets of the DIA in a wholesale fashion,'" the Associated Press reports. Governor Jeb Bush urges action on education By Rick Pluta • May 29, 2013 NPR.org Former Florida Governor Jeb Bush says Michigan should pursue more charter schools and online learning as part of the state's efforts to improve education. He also asked state lawmakers to stick with common national standards to measure student performance. The Michigan Legislature's Republican majorities just approved a school aid budget that forbid spending to enact the Common Core standards developed by the nation's governors. Some conservatives say the standards hand over Michigan's education policy to a national consortium.

Commentary: Two States of Michigan By Jack Lessenberry • Jun 4, 2012 I heard some interesting ideas about our economic future on Mackinac Island last week at the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce's annual conference of the state's movers and shakers. Frustration at Mackinac By Jack Lessenberry • May 31, 2012 Two days ago, a beaming Gov. Rick Snyder opened the annual conference of our state?s economic and political elites on an upbeat note. He cited the official themes the Detroit Regional Chamber of Commerce set for their annual Mackinac Conference. "Innovation, Collaboration and the Twenty-First Century Global Marketplace." Those are things he himself is all about. Whether you agree with his positions or not, this governor wants what he thinks are rational policies aimed at giving this state a future. But the morning after his triumphant welcome, the governor had to again admit defeat over an issue that shouldn't even be an issue: Road funding. Too many Michigan roads are in poor shape, and a whole lot more are rapidly getting worse. Earlier this year, the Michigan Department of Transportation estimated ninety per cent of our roads are in good or fair condition, which seemed too high to me. But the state also calculated that unless we start investing far more heavily in our roads, only 44 percent will be in acceptable shape a mere eight years from now. That would be a disaster. In this morning's news... By Mark Brush • May 31, 2012 Brother O'Mara / Flickr Hoekstra responds to "birther" questions at Mackinac Policy Conference Republican Senate hopeful Pete Hoekstra responded to a question from MPRN's Rick Pluta about his publicly stated support for a "3-person" federal office that reviews whether presidential candidates meet minimum requirements to run for office. From the Detroit Free Press: ...host Rick Pluta of Michigan Public Radio put [Hoekstra] on the defensive over a controversy that arose Wednesday after remarks Hoekstra made about whether Obama was born in the U.S. and qualified to hold the office of president. Hoekstra responded saying: ...it was "an absolutely ludicrous discussion to be having" after Obama has been president for four years. "They raised the issue; I didn't," he said of the tea party group. "They thought it was important. I don't." With most state lawmakers gone, business is the focus on Mackinac Island Lawmakers certainly discuss business as well, but Michigan Radio's Zoe Clark and MPRN's Rick Pluta talked about a different vibe on Mackinac Island on their It's Just Politics episode this week. State lawmakers typically attend the Mackinac Policy Conference, but with budget negotiations going on in Lansing, most are absent. "State lawmakers are not here, and because state lawmakers are not here, lobbyists are not here," said Pluta. "And if lobbyists are not here that means there's not this cadre of people who are buying drinks and meals...and hosting hospitality suites, so it's a little quieter, it's a little tamer." Clark points out that some of the people she spoke with don't miss the lawmakers. Pluta says "business people are gettting together and talking business" at this conference. A new State Fair in Michigan? There's no state funding involved in this fair, so some are saying it can't really be called a "State Fair." Organizers of the "Great Lakes State Fair" say they're not trying to duplicate the old Michigan State Fair, but they are attempting to bring in similar events. From the Detroit Free Press: The new event will feature many of the elements found at typical fairs: a midway, carnival rides, livestock and produce exhibits, a beer tent and entertainment. The event will take place from August 31 through September 3 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi. Pages1 2 next › last »

Player says he kissed Mandela's feet when they met
SUN CITY, South Africa (AP)
The first time he met Nelson Mandela, Gary Player got on his knees and kissed the former political prisoner's feet.
Remembering his ''very tearful'' first encounter with Mandela, the nine-time major winner paused Friday to compose himself and hold back more tears.
Mandela, the beloved former South African president and Nobel laureate, died Thursday at 95.
Renowned as a fierce competitor on the golf course, Player was invited to meet Mandela at his office in Johannesburg after the anti-apartheid leader's release after 27 years in prison.
But he didn't expect to do what he did, Player said.
''I knelt down and I kissed his feet and I said, `I have never kissed anybody's feet in my life,' and I said, `I have so much admiration for you.' I said to him, `It is remarkable, how can you not have revenge?'''
Mandela's reply, according to Player, was: ''You have got to start a new life and forgive and go ahead.''
Player, speaking at the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City, said Mandela's ability to inspire with compassion left him amazed then - and still does.
''It was very tearful for me, because when you think of a man that has gone to jail for all those years for doing the right thing, not the wrong thing, it is hard to comprehend that a man can come out and be like that,'' Player said. ''He was an exceptional man.''
From that first meeting, Player and Mandela would cross paths regularly as the golfer, one of South Africa's greatest sportsmen, worked with the president on charity projects.
Once, Player remembered with a big smile, Mandela landed at a charity tournament in a helicopter to lend support.
''I had to meet him when the helicopter arrived and open the door. Now I had been around him all these years raising money for young black children and I opened the door, and he says `Good morning Gary, do you remember me?''' Player recalled, imitating Mandela's unique rasping voice. ''Just wonderful.''
Although Player wasn't sure if he ever saw Mandela swing a golf club, he knew that the anti-apartheid leader ''realized the value of sport'' and even followed Player's career overseas while he was imprisoned by South Africa's former racist regime.
''He said to me, `When I was in jail, I used to watch you playing.' He was very complimentary,'' Player said.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals' John Skelton: Players still have pride
The Cardinals are coming off their worst loss in franchise history, following a 58-0 beatdown by the Seahawks in Seattle on Sunday.
In the loss, starting quarterback John Skelton threw four interceptions and left the game in the third quarter with a QB rating of 0.4, which is the second lowest by any player in a game this season.
"It will be a tough film to watch," Skelton said. "There's a lot of mistakes that need to be corrected. There's a lot of stuff that's wrong that needs to get fixed. So I think we'll take that approach in [Monday's] meetings."
During this current nine game losing streak, the Cardinals have been outscored 231 to 95. Skelton has started six games this season and according to ESPN, his overall QBR is 13.9 in 2012.
"After a 58-nothing loss like that it's hard to come into work. Whether we like it or not, we're playing those next three games," Skelton said. "I think guys have enough pride to come out and still work and still try to get better for the rest of the year."
Through this rough stretch the Cardinals' rankings have plummeted. They are 28th in the league in passing yards and 32nd in rushing.
Despite the team's struggles and inconsistencies, Skelton said the guys in this locker room still believe in head coach Ken Whisenhunt.
"You know when the chips get down, that's when a lot of these rumors start to come out," Skelton stated. "I don't think any of those rumors started inside the locker room or guys are pointing fingers or anything."
The Cards have just three games left on the schedule hosting the Lions this weekend, the Bears on the 23rd and then traveling to San Francisco to face the 49ers to wrap up the season on the 30th.
"It's rough. It just seems like it's been one of those years where anything that can go wrong, will go wrong," Skelton said. "Just gotta take everything in stride and keep on working. Guys are going to continue to come to work as long as they tell us to, so we'll see."

05.07.06 - Merrillville, IN.- Indiana State Middleweight Champion Jimmy The Fighting Schoolteacher Holmes and the warriors of Independence, the next boxing spectacular from Octavius James/One IN A Million Inc., will face their fans in an open workout at the Roselawn, In., IGA Store, 5916 East S.R. 10, in Demotte, IN on Sat., July. 8th at 3 p.m..
Days later on July 14th at the Radisson Hotel @ Star Plaza in Merrillville, IN, Holmes (13-0-1, 7 KO) will defend his State title against Former Canadian Middleweight Champion Brooke Wellby (32-16-3, 10 KO's), with Ruben The Modern Day Warrior Galvan (25-9-2, 9 KO's) returning to the ring for the CO-Main event.
Independence will also feature Jermaine Too Sweet White (13-1, 6 KO's). Former Indiana State Lightweight Champion Johnny Kid One In A Million Novak (17-1, 6 KO's), preparing for a possible bout with Julio Cesar Chavez, Jr., later this year and Derrick Superman Findley (4-1, 3 KO's) will round out the card.
Holmes, an elementary school teacher, brings more than a championship belt to the Roselawn/Demotte area, said Tim Myers, owner of the Roselawn IGA and host of the July open workout event.
What Jimmy does in the ring is important to all of us, and what he does for a living, working as a teacher, means a lot to our community, so people really want to come out and support him and the work he does, Myers said. He's given us a lot to be proud of.
Myers also said his IGA store will sponsor a cook-out for fans, and everyone will be welcomed to food and refreshments.
In the rough-and-tumble sport of boxing, that kind of hometown support is a tremendous boost for a professional fighter, especially one preparing the fight of his career, said Octavius James, CEO of One In A Million Inc.
There's no doubt in anyone's mind that Jimmy is a good fighter and champion, and he'll need all of his skill and experience when he faces Wellby, James said. That kind of support is also excellent for the rest of our fighters, knowing they'll have sports fans everywhere rooting for them.
Tickets for Independence are on sale now, starting at $25. Doors open at 7 p.m., and the first bout will be at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the Star Plaza Box Office 219-769-6600 or through any Ticket Master 312-559-1212 or http://www.ticketmaster.com/

AT&T announces aggressive solar plans
As AT&T powers on a 296-kilowatt solar array in San Diego, the company also announces its plans for five additional solar deployments.
Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 07:30 PM

On Monday, representatives from AT&T and SunEdison were joined by San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders to flip the switch on a new 296-kilowatt (kWh) solar array. The system will generate about 420,000 kWh of energy in its first year and is expected to generate in excess of 7.7 million kWh of energy over the next 20 years. The renewable energy generated from this solar array will eliminate more than 8 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions. At the same time, AT&T also announced its aggressive solar plans, which includes five other installations by Q2 2011.
AT&T will continue its partnership with SunEdison on these new solar installations, which will be installed at AT&T facilities in Dunnigan, Commerce, Mojave, Santa Ana and West Sacramento in California. When added to the San Diego installation, the six systems will total 2 megawatts in solar capacity and generate about 3.2 million kWh of energy annually. If the systems remain in use for 20 years, they will prevent an estimated 62 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the environment.
The deal between AT&T and SunEdison is being made possible through a power purchase agreement (PPA). SunEdison is responsible for the construction, monitoring, and maintenance of the installations and AT&T will purchase the energy produced from these solar systems. The systems will reduce AT&T's reliance on the California electrical grid.
"We are continually seeking opportunities to add renewable energy resources to power our business operations, and this agreement provides more sustainable solutions for our energy needs in California," said John Schinter, director of energy, AT&T.
"SunEdison makes solar a reality for commercial clients throughout the world," said Brian Jacolick, general manager, Americas for SunEdison. "Through smart design, proven technologies and our strong financing capabilities, SunEdison helps clients like AT&T realize the benefits solar energy offers." Source: AT&T
These solar installations will help AT&T meet its overall energy reduction goals. In 2008, AT&T aimed to reduce its energy intensity by 15 percent. When the company's 2009 Citizenship and Sustainability Report was released, a 23.8 percent reduction was revealed. The company is now focused on a 25 percent reduction in energy intensity by 2019 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's Save Energy Now LEADER program. This new series of solar arrays is just one of the steps that AT&T is taking to meet this goal.

48 year old man | Alafaya, FL, USA | Seeking women 35-48 within 250 miles
Active within 24 hours
Okay, here goes: I've been told I'm...
Okay, here goes: I've been told I'm multi-faceted, intelligent, out-going, adventurous and very fun to be with. I realize women have far, far more options on this site then men so I need a woman who seeks quality over quantity. I look and feel a lot younger than I am which I attribute to staying active, working out and living a healthy lifestyle. I'm looking for someone young at heart, open minded, flexible and fun. Hair color (and now eye color too) can change daily so that's not as important anymore as being in shape or taking care of yourself. I want someone who I find incredibly attractive KR and I can be passionate about who is willing to have fun in various ways. I enjoy kids SLATS and relish being a mentor to them but I'm not sure having any of my own this late YA unless the situation is HOO really right, you're young (under 38) and accomplished. I'm well-educated, decently intelligent, professional and accomplished. I grew up in Michigan so I have those solid, mid-western values. (I believe those values attribute to having solid strength of character which can also help in being a good role model where appropriate...) I Love the MI summer lake life! I went to college in Colorado so I also like to return to those Rocky Mountains. If you like to travel, I have a descent knowledge base of great places to visit thanks to my profession. I moved to Orlando 2 years ago and like it so far so try me at KR (no space) SLATS at Ya hoo. Com, I guess I'm still trying to figure out where to settle down and that's where YOU come into the equation. :-) I make time to stay physically fit (often working out 5 times a week), active and healthy. I also pride myself on having manners and being a gentleman … ( that is until you don't want me to be a gentleman! LOL) I think I have a GREAT sense of humor and have been told I have a fairly sharp wit. I don't take myself too seriously and in the right crowd I can be quite witty. I have a wide variety of tastes, abilities and adventurous ideas that are sure to please. I'm very passionate about enjoying life and I love what I do for a living. Above all, I always try to laugh and have fun. When the time calls for it, I can be charming, romantic and of course passionate! I like being outdoors but I can also do the romantic candlelit dinner at an elegant restaurant or at home. I'm equally comfortable cozying up by a nice fire to watch a good movie as I am living it up at the beach. I can dress up and hit the big city nightlife scene or I can easily do the nice quiet walks along the shore at sunset. I really enjoy going to sporting events as well as playing sports. I like to be active and love SKIING, exercising/working out, GOLFING, cycling, hiking, riding horses, SCUBA diving and flying planes. I enjoy traveling to exotic locations for that warm relaxing get away vacation to a tropical beach resort as well as doing a picturesque ski vacation in a cozy chalet/condo in the western U.S. Scenic national parks or historical sights and towns are always enjoyable to me just as hitting the big cities like Las Vegas, NYC, DC, Miami, San Fran, LA At the end of the day, I try to remain easy going, always up for fun adventure and enjoy whatever life brings my way…

Military helping Palparan, says international rights group
More News from Associated Press
MANILA, Philippines—An international human rights watchdog said Wednesday it has information that sympathetic Philippine military personnel were thwarting attempts by civilian authorities to capture retired Major General Jovito Palparan accused of kidnapping two student activists.
Palparan has been on the run since he was charged in December with kidnapping two left-wing students from the University of the Philippines in 2006. The students remain missing.
Palparan, a former congressman who was close to former president Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, has denied any involvement. He is the highest-ranking military official to face allegations of abuse that human rights groups say has long been tolerated in the Philippines.
Rights groups and a UN investigator have blamed security forces for the deaths and disappearances of about 1,000 activists between 2001 and 2010, when Arroyo was president.
Human Rights Watch said civilian officials told the group that Palparan is being protected by some military personnel and business owners who benefited from his heavy-headed tactics to suppress a long-running communist insurgency.
"There are concerns that the military may be interfering in the civilian judicial process," the New York-based watchdog said in a statement.
Military officials have denied allegations of sheltering Palparan and two soldiers accused with him, and they have promised to cooperate in the investigation against them. In December, however, a group of active and retired military officials publicly defended Palparan and warned that his prosecution was causing "demoralization in the soldiers' ranks."
The other soldiers charged, Lieutenant Colonel Felipe Antado and Staff Sgt. Edgardo Osorio, have surrendered. A court has allowed them to be transferred from civilian to military custody despite protestation from Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, who said the army failed to inform her where the two are being held, or if they are confined at all.
The conservative military has often acted as an influential power broker, and its members have launched several coup attempts since 1986.
The deputy Asia director for Human Rights Watch, Elaine Pearson, called on President Benigno Aquino III to put officers and soldiers on notice "that if they block civilian authorities in arresting Palparan, they too face legal consequences."
"President Aquino should get the message to the military that the years of protecting Palparan for grievous abuses are over," she said.
Aquino's government has said it wants justice for the missing students, Karen Empeno and Sherlyn Cadapan, as part of a push to improve the Philippines' human rights record after a decade of rampant abuses during Arroyo's administration. Arroyo gave the military a free hand in what it had called an all-out war against communist rebels.
About 5,000 rural-based communist guerrillas known as the New People's Army continue to attack military and police outposts, extort money and raid business establishments it accuses of exploiting workers. It is listed by US and European governments as a terrorist organization, but has been engaged in peace talks with the Philippine government.

Jean Doré (born 12 December 1944) is a Canadian politician and former mayor of the City of Montreal, Quebec.
Jean Doré studied law at the Université de Montréal, where he was president of the student union from 1967 to 1968. He received a Master's Degree of Political Science from McGill University. In the early seventies Doré became a founding member of the progressive Montreal Citizens' Movement (MCM), also known as Rassemblement des citoyens et citoyennes de Montréal (RCM) in French, where he started as treasurer and eventually became party leader.
From 1972 to 1975, Doré was director of the Fédération des associations d'économie familiale. He hosted a consumer affairs show on the Radio-Quebec public television network. He was briefly a press attaché for René Lévesque who would later become Premier of Quebec. Prior to his mayoral tenure, Doré worked as a lawyer for the Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) - the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CNTU).
Leader of the Opposition[edit]
In 1982, he was selected as the MCM candidate for Mayor of Montreal. He finished second with 36% of the vote, against incumbent Jean Drapeau (48%). Fifteen candidates of the MCM were elected to City Hall. Doré won a by-election in 1984 and became city councillor for the district of Saint-Jean-Baptiste, as well as Leader of the Opposition.
Mayor of Montreal[edit]
In 1986, Doré won a landslide victory to the mayoral office with 68% of the vote. 55 MCM candidates out of 58 were elected. He was re-elected in 1990 with 59% of the vote.
As mayor, he oversaw the renewal of the Old Port and the parks and beaches of Île Ste-Hélène. He also inaugurated Place Émilie-Gamelin (known informally as Berri Square), Place Charles de Gaulle and the archaeology museum at Pointe-à-Callière.
During his administration, the first public commissions of city council were established and the city's first master urban plan was adopted.
However, Doré was also criticized for an ineffective style of government, including lax policies toward city employees, as well as an unwillingness to pay down the massive debt left by the projects of former mayor Jean Drapeau. As well, some left-wing members of the MCM, including councillors Sam Boskey and Marvin Rotrand, quit his party after the Overdale scandal to form the Democratic Coalition of Montreal (DCM), also known as Coalition démocratique de Montréal (CDM) in French.
First political retirement[edit]
In 1994 Doré received only 32% of the vote and was defeated by Vision Montreal candidate Pierre Bourque (47%). He could have taken a seat on the city council after winning his election in the district of Plateau-Mont-Royal with 46% of the ballots, but retired in favor of running mate Thérèse Daviau.
Attempt at a comeback[edit]
Doré tried to make a political comeback in 1998. He founded Équipe Montréal (Team Montreal), a new party, and ran for mayor. However, he gathered only 10% of the vote and finished fourth. Two candidates of TM were elected to the city council, but they eventually sat as Independents, and the party ceased to exist not long before the 2001 election.[1]
In 2014, Doré announced that he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.[2]

Marion Barber says he's retiring
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP)
Chicago Bears running back Marion Barber said he plans to retire.
His decision, posted on the team's Web site Friday, comes one day after Michael Bush signed a four-year, $14 million contract to be part of a backfield that includes disgruntled Pro Bowl running back Matt Forte.
The 28-year-old Barber spent his first six NFL seasons with the Dallas Cowboys before signing with the Bears in 2011. He was a backup to Forte last season and then saw extensive duty when Forte sprained his knee in early December.
Barber had six touchdowns and 422 yards rushing last season, but will be remembered for two gaffes in a costly loss at Denver when he ran out of bounds as the Bears were trying to kill the clock, and then fumbled in overtime.
A fourth round pick of the Cowboys in 2005 out of Minnesota, the hard-running Barber gained 4,780 yards rushing on 1,156 carries with 53 touchdowns in his career. He also caught 179 passes for 1,330 yards and six touchdowns.
Barber, who had little to say to reporters during his only year in Chicago, told Larry Mayer of ChicagoBears.com: ''I want to thank everyone who gave me the opportunity to play, and I'm very thankful to have had the chance to suit up for two of the NFL's most storied organizations.''
''I want to thank everyone who helped me become a better player,'' Barber said. ''I owe a lot to a lot of coaches, and am also very grateful to the owners and organizations I played for. Last but not least, I want to thank the fans for the support and inspiration they gave me.''
Forte, who has not been able to reach a long-term contract deal and was given the franchise tag, was not happy when the Bears signed Bush.
On his twitter account he said he had been disrespected after doing everything he'd been asked to do by the team. He later tweeted that he was not upset at the Bears signing another running back, adding that ''undervaluing a player under his market value is another story!''

Final Fantasy XIV Online
What video card should I buy to play this game?
- Back To:
- Board List
- Topic List
- Topic Archived
- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I plan on getting this game when it is released and was wondering if anyone could suggest a good video card that would allow me to run this game, around the 100.00 range, thanks!
I have a Dell:
Processor: Pentium Dual Core Es200 2.50GHZ
Ram: 4.00 GB
Current video adapter: Intel express chipset
XBOX Live: Disco Soulja
PSN: DrBlacFace
If its possible overclock your 5200 since its a wolfdale (same core as the high end core 2 duo) and can reach to speeds faster than a Core 2 Duo E8400
As for video card 100 dollars won't take you anywhere especially since its a dell and they usually have a crappy power supply...if its possible that u can get at least 200 dollars then you might have a chance for a decent video card
For an optimal gaming experience you will now need:
Above a Nvidia GTX460 or above a ATI 5770.
Since new requirements have been posted on the official website, you should get yourself an i7 processor as well.
Everything else there should be just fine.
I personally am building a computer with an i7 quad core, 6 gigs of ram, and an ATI 5870 for the video card. As time goes on I may put in a 5970 if they finally support crossfire.
Thanks! I can spend 200.00, what would you suggest in that price range, and do you have any other suggestions, this will be my first PC game/upgrading a computer.
XBOX Live: Disco Soulja
PSN: DrBlacFace
[This message was deleted at the request of the original poster]
He can't put an i7 there since his motherboard is LGA 775, the best he can do is either overclock what he has or get a good Core 2 Quad,
As for video card you're right you can get either a GTX 460 or a Radeon 5770 its up to you which one of the two you want they perform pretty well.
TC, are you looking to max the game, or just be able to play it on low or medium settings?
Play it at around medium settings, because I plan to get it on ps3 when it is released in March. I just to be able to play it until then.
XBOX Live: Disco Soulja
PSN: DrBlacFace
2-core processor will probably max out around the 4800 series ATI.
You can shoot for medium settings.
Advanced laparoscopy is like a FPS. You choose from guns to shoot at things on the screen for a few hours. You're just shooting at the console is all.

Hi everyone,
For a good friend I am looking for a WP theme I want to maybe buy here.
I browsed a bit through a lot of great themes, but maybe some hidden gems are out there which I didn't discover yet.
The basic idea for the site is a blog about healthy life and publishing food recepies. It could potentially be that in the future a shop or restaurant or other kind of services is opened and it would be nice if the WP theme also has this potential.
It is a bit vague maybe, but I am also relative new to this.
Any suggestions are more then welcome and thanks for your time!

METAIRIE, La. Running back Pierre Thomas missed practice Wednesday, the Saints' first session in preparation for Saturday night's NFC wild card playoff game at Philadelphia.
The only other player listed on the injury report was safety Rafael Bush (ankle).
Thomas sat out with a chest injury, the severity of which was unknown. The running back carried the ball seven times for 20 yards and caught one pass for three yards in Sunday's win against Tampa Bay to close the regular season.
He didn't get another carry or have a pass thrown his way after his eight-yard touchdown run with 1:27 to go in the third quarter.
Thomas is the team's leading rusher with 549 yards on 147 carries. He also scored two rushing touchdowns. Thomas was second on the team with 77 catches, which he turned into 513 yards and three scores.
Bush, meanwhile, returned this past week after missing three games with a high right ankle sprain. He played in 49 snaps, or 75 percent of the defensive plays against the Buccaneers. He also saw times on 11 special teams plays.

Earth's climate is changing. But to get a clear assessment of these changes, scientists need to be sure that the vast amounts of climate data they collect are accurate. Accuracy is critical to the comparison of measurement results obtained in widely separated locations and at different times. Such results are often the basis for developing greater insights into the chemical and physical phenomena that cause our climate to change. Accurate measurements enable scientists to draw reliable conclusions. A stable, internationally-recognized frame of reference, such as the International System of Units (SI), provides the basis both for data comparability and for international acceptance of measurement results and insights concerning climatic behaviors. The work begun by Charles D. Keeling of Scripps Institution of Oceanography is an exceptional example of the value to the climate science community of a data record founded on close attention to methodologies that ensure accurate measurement results over long periods.

Bombings kill 23, wound dozens in Iraq
More News from Associated Press
BAGHDAD—A string of bombings targeting Shiite mosques in Iraq killed at least 23 people and wounded dozens on Friday, officials said. The attacks were the latest in spectacular assaults staged by insurgents seeking to undermine the Shiite-led government's efforts to achieve security across the country.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the bombings bore the hallmarks of al-Qaida's Iraq branch. The group, known as the Islamic State of Iraq, frequently uses car bombs, suicide bombers and coordinated blasts in an effort to sow fear among Shiites and erode their trust in the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
Four car bombs hit Shiite mosques in the Iraqi capital as worshippers were leaving after Friday prayers, killing 19 people and wounding 72.
First, a parked car exploded in Baghdad's western Jihad neighborhood, killing seven worshippers and wounding 25, a police officer said. Another police officer said four people were killed and nearly 20 were wounded in a bombing in eastern Qahira neighborhood. Three people died and 15 were wounded in the eastern Zafaraniyah district while yet another car bomb killed five people and wounded 14 in the northeastern Binook neighborhood.
Three health officials confirmed the causality figures. All officials in Baghdad spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to talk to the media.
And in the northern city of Kirkuk, 290 kilometers (180 miles) north of Baghdad, a suicide bomber drove his explosive-laden car into a group of worshippers as they were leaving a mosque after Friday prayers, killing three people and wounding up to 70, according to police Col. Najat Hassan. A senior provisional health official, Sidiq Omar Rasool, confirmed the casualty figures in Kirkuk.
Violence has ebbed sharply since the peak of Sunni-Shiite fighting that pushed the country to the brink of civil war in 2006 and 2007, but Sunni insurgents still occasionally carry out high-profile attacks against Shiites, considering them to be heretics.
Friday is a particularly popular day for militants to undertake such attacks because of the rush of mostly men and boys who flock to the mosques throughout the country to hear traditional Muslim sermons and take part in communal prayers.
