Speller wants to bee best
CORPUS CHRISTI - Seventh-grader Gabriela Isabel Diaz, 13, is jumping at her chance to be the nation's top speller.
The 56th annual Caller-Times South Texas Regional Spelling Bee winner practices spelling words while bouncing on her trampoline. English is Gabriela's second language. Born in Puerto Rico, she learned English in a private school there but didn't use it regularly until she moved to Texas five years ago.
"We speak in Spanish at home," said Gabriela. "It's better being bilingual, and I'm very excited about doing so well with English that I get to visit our nation's capital."
Gabriela, a Calallen Middle School student, is one of 293 spellers in the Scripps National Spelling Bee finals beginning Tuesday in Washington, D.C. She's one of 118 qualifiers visiting the nation's capital for the first time.
"I am preparing to do the best I can possibly do, and looking forward to the experience," Gabriela said. "I want to win, but if I don't make it that far, I still feel good I made it there."
At the Feb. 28 local competition, Gabriela bested 95 other students from 11 counties, ending the event by correctly spelling quatercentenary, which means 400th anniversary.
"The thing that gave it away was when they gave me the meaning of it," she said.
Studying Greek and Latin root derivatives has given her an edge, Gabriela said.
"French is my main Achilles," she said. "Yet the etymology helps me spell words, because I recognize the roots."
Her language prowess is secondary to her passion for music, she said, but they have mingled recently. Gabriela plays three types of clarinets in the school's band, and director Glenn Herbst tests her spelling from his music dictionary, she said. "He throws me a curve with words like pizzicato, (the) plucking of strings, or rhythmically," Gabriela said.
She is first-chair bass clarinet and wants to study at The Juilliard School and travel the world as a musician before becoming a music professor, she said. She's enrolled in summer band camp at Texas A&M University-Kingsville and wants to try out for a jazz band there.
Gabriela, her parents and brother, Noel, 8, leave for the national competition today.
"It's an honor for Gabriela to represent this area, and I'm extremely proud," said Lourdes Gorbea-Diaz, Gabriela's mother. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for my family to go and learn, and no shopping."
She is planning for them to spend a lot of time at the Smithsonian Institution. "And for her to compete," she said, "is awesome."
Fun facts about the 2009 Scripps National Spelling Bee
Most champions
Colorado, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas are in a four-way tie for the most national champions — seven for each state.
Champions again
1992 champion Amanda Goad and 2005 champion Anurag Kashyap won the "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament in 1996 and 2008, respectively.
It happened three years ago — in the critically acclaimed major motion picture, "Akeelah and the Bee." In real life, there have been only three instances of co-champions — 1950, 1957 and 1962.
First champion
In 1925, Frank Neuhauser of Louisville, Ky., spelled gladiolus to win the first National Spelling Bee. He recently turned 95, and he plans to attend the Scripps National Spelling Bee in Washington, D.C.
He's making history
Speller 46, Kun Jacky Qiao, is the first speller in the history of the Scripps National Spelling Bee to represent a sponsor in China.
Check this
Since the advent of widespread spell-check usage in the mid-1980s, participation in the Scripps National Spelling Bee is up 74 percent.
You can't memorize this
The Bee's official dictionary — Webster's Third New International Dictionary and its addenda section — has more than 472,000 word entries.
Since 1978
That's how long Scripps has welcomed participants from outside the United States. This year, the Bee will feature 28 participants from the Bahamas, Canada, China, Ghana, Jamaica, New Zealand and South Korea.
She made history
In 1998, Jody-Anne Maxwell of Jamaica became the first person of African descent and the first spelling champion from outside the United States to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
It takes 12
That's how many months it took, and how many people were involved in the production and completion of the competition word list for the Scripps National Spelling Bee.
Here's a mythbuster
Four of the five most recent national champions were public school students.
That long ago?
The Scripps National Spelling Bee was first broadcast on network television in 1946.
O Canada
Since first participating in the Scripps National Spelling Bee in 2005, Canadian spellers have made strong showings, including second-place finishes by Finola Hackett and Nate Gartke in 2006 and 2007, respectively.
He made history
In 1996, Jimmy McCarthy of St. Petersburg, Fla., became the first profoundly deaf speller to compete at the national level. He tied for 48th place in the field of 247 spellers.
Home school success
Two champions — Rebecca Sealfon (1997) and George Thampy (2000) — were home-schoolers at the time of their championships. Sean Conley (2001) attended private school during the year of his championship, but in previous years had received his education at home. Evan O'Dorney (2007) was a charter school student who received much of his education at home.

Leo Martinez considers retirement 'an ordeal'
In the black comedy movie "Tuhog," actor Leo Martinez plays an old family man who finds himself jumping out of bed at the sound of a ringing alarm clock every morning, only to be reminded at the breakfast table that he had long retired from his job.
Though he thoroughly enjoyed playing the role and being in the shoes of someone seeking self-fulfillment after retirement, Martinez said that he didn't want to go through such an ordeal in real life.
"I'm lucky there's no such thing as 'retirement' here in show biz. Otherwise, do I just spend the days drinking?" he told the Inquirer in jest.
Martinez has been acting professionally for over 45 years now, and has no intention of hanging up his boots anytime soon—or ever. "I don't see myself retiring. Acting is my life, and I will continue to do it as long as I can. Look at Eddie Garcia," said Martinez, who started as a theater actor. He cofounded Repertory Philippines in 1967.
The veteran star has been quite busy lately. Aside from "Tuhog," Martinez is also part of the GMA 7 afternoon drama "Kakambal ni Eliana," and appeared in recent films such as "On the Job," which was shown in the Director's Fortnight of this year's Cannes Film Festival, and "Alagwa."
"I've also finished shooting 'Ibong Adarna,' directed by Jun Urbano," reported Martinez, director general of the Film Academy of the Philippines.
Meanwhile, Martinez enjoys teaching the craft, and sharing his wealth of experience with young actors, as much as he loves acting in front of the cameras or onstage.
"If I can contribute anything to the industry, it would be teaching. It's my way of giving back," said Martinez, adding that one of his goals was to craft an acting/education program for local TV networks.

Ping Could Be Apple's Social Networking Backdoor? 271
from the i-don't-think-it's-a-secret dept.
ping www.apple.com
PING e3191.c.akamaiedge.net (18.104.22.168): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 188.8.131.52: icmp_seq=0 ttl=53 time=31.528 ms
That's not quite accurate -- you said that Ping would kill Facebook. Without really knowing jack about it.
I still think that's funny and/or you're trolling, although I also think an article about Apple coming in through the backdoor is inherently funny and invites numerous lube jokes.
Looks to be just more bloat on an already bloated piece of software. The least they could do is modularize iTunes so that if I click a box on install I can make it so that the application is just a way to put music onto an iPod. I am sick and tired of the video and TV stuff forcing me to put Quicktime on my machine!
Yep, leave it to Apple to make the simple ping command all bloated and require QuickTime, etc.
"It's Turtlenecks all the way down"
Yes, because words can have only one meaning and no more. They especially can't be used for products or company names.
Word, Tux, Oracle, Excel, Sun, Bing, Java, Gnome, Yahoo...
Wow, Apple is sure going to confuse people with this!

Erm Chrome and Firefox does use DirectX/D3D via the ANGLE Project, which transforms WebGL into DirectX calls.
Given that Chrome is faster than any other browser on Windows their approach seems to be working, obviously lack of D3D support isn't holding them back.
And yet you're preaching on about how right it is for them to be doing the exact same thing? Open source or not, breaking standards is bad.
I guess you have to be special type of blind to miss the irony and hypocrisy in this..

The Denver Nuggets are the NBA team of Denver Colorado. When they were founded in 1967 they were first known as the Denver Larks and then later the name changed to the Rockets before they entered their first basketball season. In 1974 the name of the team changed to the Nuggets in order to anticipate the ABA NBA merger. They played for their final ABA championship in 1976, and they lost the game to the New York Nets. The team officially joined the NBA in 1976 and made the playoffs a total of 9 seasons in the 1980s when Nuggets tickets wer hard to find. The team has not earned any championships since their last year of being with the ABA.

Wausau East junior Emmett Stifler ran away from the field to win the boys race at the annual City Cross Country Meet in a time of 17 minutes, 1.15 seconds on the 5-,000-meter course at Nine Mile Park in Rib Mountain on Thursday.
- Filed Under
Wausau East's Kennidi Knoblock was still hopping up and down in joy 10 minutes after the girls race at the City Cross Country Meet was over.
Not many runners would have the energy Knoblock exhibited after the sophomore covered the 4,000-meter course at Nine Mile Recreation Area in a winning time of 15 minutes, 25 seconds, edging Holly Solomon of D.C. Everest to the title.
Perhaps the sophomore simply didn't know how she was supposed to react in the situation ...

We first heard about Tea Qua 3 years ago. So they have been around for a while - longer than varnish or Cetol will last. It's unfortunate that we can only rely on Tea Qua's web site for testimonials on the product because if what they claim is true, this product blows any other finishng out of the water (pun intended) From reading the label and product information on their web site it sounds like it acts more like a stain, penetrating the wood, rather than a paint or varnish which sits on the surface.
I agree with the FOX, I do not like the look of Cetol and refuse, for now, to use it and if Tea Qua works like they say it does, I won't ever have to use it.
Fox, check out the website and if you want wait a year for my report on my experience. My boat will be in the Southern U.S. - Fl & Ga - for that time, so it will be a fairly good test.

Quentin Tarantino is suing Gawker Media because it leaked his script and Northwestern football players are attempting to unionize in yet another attack on the NCAA — two stories that would otherwise be right in my wheelhouse — but, it's Super Bowl week so I'm pretty sure I'm constitutionally required to write something about football.
Public funding for NFL stadiums has been a hot topic here in Minnesota over the last couple years as the Vikings pushed for a replacement for the Metrodome. Ultimately, an agreement on the new $1 billion stadium was reached with the team and the public splitting the bill 50/50. This tends to be the case all over the country, with the public paying for a large chunk of almost every new stadium (MetLife Stadium, the home of this year's Super Bowl, is the rare case of a privately-funded new stadium). Some believe that the NFL intentionally doesn't have a team in Los Angeles because it provides NFL owners with an easy threat when politicians balk at paying for a new stadium with public funds: "Pay up or I'm moving the team to LA." And because no politician wants to be blamed when a local team moves (just ask those who were in office when the Minnesota North Stars moved to Dallas), the team usually gets the stadium it wants.
Of course, any profits that the team gets from the new stadium usually go to the team's owners, which seems to create a situation where really rich people get even richer using everyone else's money. Throw in the fact that the NFL is considered a non-profit (and gets the tax breaks that come along with that designation) and you can begin to see why some people are starting to cry foul on the whole situation.
Into this problem steps Gregg Easterbrook (brother of my former law school professor and noted jurist, Frank Easterbrook) with an interesting proposal. He argues that "lawmakers — ideally in Congress, to level the national playing field, as it were — should require that television images created in publicly funded sports facilities cannot be privatized." This would almost certainly find NFL owners sucking it up and paying for their own stadiums rather than giving up the billions and billions of dollars in television revenue that would go away if anyone were allowed to broadcast NFL games. It seems like a pretty good proposal to me — what about you Duetskateers?

The IRS's basic rule is that a gift must be "delivered" to the
charity by 12/31. Cash and checks must be handed over to the organization by
12/31 if delivered in person or if sent using a private service like FedEx or
UPS. If the donation is mailed through the US Post Office, it must have a
postmark of 12/31. The organization will receive it after 12/31, but that is ok
because the donor relinquished control (the IRS's baseline threshold for
determining a gift date) on the date s/he put the donation in the mail on or
before 12/31. Credit card gifts must be "fully processed," i.e.,
approved by the credit card merchant, for the gift to be considered
"delivered" by the due date.

Why Olivia instead of, say, Sumia or other? Her insane speed and skill growths. Nothing but speed and skill.
Not sure of the point you are trying to bring about Olivia because Sumia and Olivia both have the same speed and skill growth (or in fact, better or equal growths all around besides resist)
The difference being that Sumia has a better speed mod than Olivia.
Olivia's class selection isn't exactly better than Sumia's, just different.

SoulSilver Fc: 1765 0467 9415
Black 2 FC: 4857-4546-8429
Okay, lets try to clear this
Parental supporter:
Sumia wins this with acess to Knight, Pegasus, and Sage, but your not going to use a lot of these stuff
Comparable. Sumia Lucina can Reclass Palladin to match GL Olivia Lucina that everyone and their mom used. Olivia Lucina, when reclassing into Palladin missed the 75 speed benchmark with Berserker Pair Up.
It should be noted that their +2 Physical offense difference did not make ANY significant difference unless you used an extremely idiotic and specific situation that should not happen if you have a brain
Skill build:
Vantage, vs Pavise Aegis.
This depend on your Opinion on the class sets
Other child:
RFK Inigo is cool, but inigo can take other father to get some amazing skills. Libra gives Sorcerer, Frederick gives PavGise, Virion gives mods and SolAT Cellica abuser. Inigo is better
In the end, One is not better than the other, but Sumia and Olivia is overall the best non MU parent for Chrom.
Sumia is also one of the best mom for Morgan, so consider that.
Real Metal bounces their breast. Deal with it
DemiseEnd posted...
Considering the only thing major that can be passed off to Morgan are mods, Sumia is pretty much straight out inferior to Panne in mods.
The only reason why Sumia and MU are a good pair is not for Morgan but for Cynthia instead.
LoL NA: Lurkerkiller
SC2 NA: Lurkerkiller.301
Sumia resulted in 2 Galeforce, and happen to have 3 SPD mods
With Magic MU thats +6, enough to get 46 Speed Sorcerer
Panne lacked another Galeforce, but she is also one of the best because of her mods
Of course, Panne can take Gregor or Stahl or Fred while Sumia only have Chrom and Henry.
Real Metal bounces their breast. Deal with it
The other varible is what difficulty your playing.
On Lunatic, its all about skills.
As has been said Lucina is moot, shes always strong. Its the second child that you are trying to make into a better unit.

NSF Awards Millions For Cloud Computing Research
Date Added: May 2009
Format: PDF
Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced it has awarded nearly $5 million in grants to 14 universities through its Cluster Exploratory (CLuE) program to participate in the IBM/Google Cloud Computing University Initiative. The initiative will provide the computing infrastructure for leading-edge research projects that could help people better understand the planet, the bodies, and pursue the limits of the World Wide Web. In 2007, IBM and Google announced a joint university initiative to help computer science students gain the skills they need to build cloud applications. Now, NSF is using the same infrastructure and open source methods to award CLuE grants to universities around the United States.

The east side of Gainesville's downtown square in the 1950s was dominated by clothing stores, most of them what you would consider discount shops today.
At the height of the Lumpkin County gold rush, people from all over the country were coming to North Georgia to pursue their personal fortune. Locals sometimes were prone to take advantage of gullible outside prospectors.
Editor's note: For many years, Johnny Vardeman, retired editor of The Times, would write his annual "'mater sammich" column as homegrown tomatoes started coming in during the summer. "'Maters and Music" will be the theme for a tomato sandwich event from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Aug. 23 at the Byron Herbert Reece Farm and Heritage Center one mile north of Vogel State Park, 9 miles south of Blairsville on U.S. 129.
A century will have passed Monday since the beginning of World War I, which started July 28, 1914, when Austria declared war on Serbia. The United States didn't enter until three years later, declaring war on Germany.
One of the oldest camp meetings in North Georgia begins Monday at the historic Antioch Campground on Antioch Campground Road in west Hall County.
"County agents," as we call them, date back in Georgia 100 years. They are part of the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension Service, celebrating its centennial this year helping residents with home, garden and farm advice.
On this Independence Day Weekend, take a brief look at Lyman Hall, for whom Hall County is named.
Nancy Terrell Furr hid in a cabin during the Civil War while Union soldiers plundered the countryside, picked all the pears from a tree nearby and killed the only cow she owned.
OK, all you local history buffs, here's your chance to display your knowledge with this little trivia test. Answers to the questions are below:
Relative newcomers to Hall County, and even longtime residents whose memory might be fuzzy, are curious about "what used to be" in Gainesville's downtown.
Near the intersection of Wilson Bridge and Martin Bridge roads off Exit 154 of Interstate 85 in Banks County, there once was a community called Arp.
The late Lester Hosch, a Hall County businessman, consummate Rotarian and historian, once inventoried Gainesville street names, giving the origin of some of them.
The year 1964 doesn't seem like half a century ago, but it is memorable because of the turbulent times the country experienced.
One hundred years ago, Europe was in the throes of World War I, called the Great War prior to World War II, and countries were declaring war on each other right and left.
While there are debates in these political times, they aren't what they used to be. Nowadays, campaigns depend on big money to buy big television ads. Elections seemingly are won by who has the most money to buy TV time.
Page 3 of 26
Though the Memorial Day holiday is to remember those who died serving their country, it is spent by many as a day off work, festivals, parades or other fun activities. Some businesses, rather than close, use the weekend for special sales of merchandise or services.
The picture is of Gainesville's downtown square probably in the early 1900s before motorized vehicles were common and before "Old Joe," the Confederate statue was erected. The view is toward the west side of the square where Saul's, Frames You Nique and other stores stand today.
In the fall of 1920, Hall County students were studying in 21 schools.
In the early 1900s, Gainesville already was becoming known as a poultry center, but it would be another half century before it could boast about being the "World's Broiler Capital."
Because April is high tornado season, and storms are top of mind especially in Northeast Georgia, here's a family's remarkable story about how they survived Gainesville's 1936 tornado despite being in or near the middle of it. They were indeed fortunate they were not among the more than 200 people killed.
"Old Joe," the Confederate statue on Gainesville's downtown square, almost wasn't to be for a couple of reasons.
Today is the 79th anniversary of the fourth deadliest tornado in United States history.

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx

Playing himself in Michael Mabbott's 2005 country-rock mockumentary The Life and Hard Times of Guy Terrifico, Merle Haggard turned in what may be his best performance of the decade. "I've never been able to sing when I was dead on my feet, let alone really dead," he says, referring to the fictional title character, a Canadian-born slapstick version of Gram Parsons who changes his name from Jim Jablowski to the more poetic Terrifico moniker after being dazed by Haggard's wicked sucker punch in a Nashville bar. But the insight applies equally well to I Am What I Am, which is a sure-footed, perfunctory, time-obsessed, and hilarious version of the deceptively relaxed Western-swing shtick that made Haggard famous. He sings with admirable intensity—if he's dead on his feet, it doesn't show. His voice is more quavery than it was at mid-decade on the overproduced Chicago Wind, but you could chalk that up to age and fairly recent cancer surgery. Sounding very much alive—if sometimes supine and blissed-out—he's made one of the craziest records of his career.
Haggard's '70s and '80s records were often uneven affairs, with several thousand live versions of "Okie From Muskogee" and tossed-off songs on the order of "Ever-Changing Woman" competing with the good stuff. On the other hand, a ridiculous novelty song such as 1980's deeply devious "Sky-Bo" (from The Way I Am, one of his more consistent collections) said a lot about his creative process: Haggard plays a hobo with a pilot's license who flew "some rich folks around" before heading off to Shreveport by way of Phoenix. The song revealed a craftsman whose bad ideas said as much about a country's sense of loneliness and dislocation as his more celebrated compositions; I Am What I Am plows similar ground, but the songs eschew detail for narrative of the barest sort. He sings as cannily as ever—in fact, he's altogether too damned canny. Bemused by his own guile, Haggard combines bravado and fake pathos throughout: As he sings on "Bad Actor," "Secondhand feelings are always a factor/In my starring role as a bad actor."
Still, there's plenty of interesting dead space to fill up, and he appears to be going along with the joke of being Merle Haggard, just as he did so effectively in Guy Terrifico. (The film also features great turns by Kris Kristofferson and Alabama songwriter Donnie Fritts.) He sings two numbers that mention mankind's trips to the moon, with "The Road to My Heart" the keeper: "I wonder if Louis Armstrong played the blues when he stepped out on the moon?" He remembers his youthful days living in a boxcar on "Oil Tanker Train" and high-tails it out of town after stupidly letting a groupie get a glance at the name on his platinum card during "Stranger in the City." And he sounds more or less engaged on the title track—maybe it's because he plays guitar on it. "I believe Jesus is God/And a pig is just ham," he sings. There's no sense of libertarian overstatement, no liberal-baiting. Haggard delivers character sketches that combine highfalutin concepts with snatches of low comedy—in this, he remains an exemplary country artist. So you'll have to forgive me: I respect the man's God-given right to say that all explanations are useless and simply metaphysical, but I also reserve the right to say the hell with it.

Thanks for the upgrade which includes sea animals. It would have better if you give us the option to choose level/picture and no restriction on time.
(43 stars)
My baby daughter loves this game but agreed with Tony that we should at least have an option to disable the timer or play at different levels. Keep up the good job!
(43 stars)
It would be nice to change the timer, or disable it altogether to give young kids a chance. At least let them start on a different level. They get pretty bored of that first level.

Rijeka, or Fiume if one remembers its Italian heritage (1919-43), was formerly the most important town of Croatia. Today it is still the country's largest port and a hub of tourism in the Adriatic. While it may seem somewhat unappealing at first glance, a closer look will reveal some fine examples of Austro-Hungarian architecture.

I'm learning a lot in my pursuit of imperfection. French fries are a delicious addition to a meal. Red wine is a perfectly acceptable as a late night study companion. Plenty of reading can get done in carpool lines. Deadlines are more easily met when you have more deadlines.
Colleges and grad schools ask a lot of their applicants these days, and one of the trickier requests is a compelling and typo-less resumé.
Common and simple mistakes, such as grammar errors and misspellings, can be detrimental to your graduate school application -- they may even result in a rejection letter. However, there are also certain mistakes that are less obvious, but possibly just as damaging to your portfolio.
Here are 22 perks of law school that will help you decide if a legal career is your calling.
What a relief it was when you got that "fat envelope" in the mail three years ago signaling your acceptance into college! Now it seems like you're going through that excruciating process all over again for graduate school, except this time, it's a lot more competitive and financially draining.
High school graduation etiquette involves several steps, for both future graduates and their friends and family.

Lots of people have written about why you shouldn't go to grad school. I respectfully disagree. Grad school offers real benefits and, when done right, is an invaluable resource that can further your career.
The GRE is an exam designed for prospective graduate students in many liberal arts fields.So, is it time to start memorizing hundreds of words until your vision is blurred? No! This exam is about studying smarter, not harder.
With the cost to attend graduate school, students and educators are beginning to debate the necessity of a Master's degree. Nonetheless, here is a list of degrees which will almost certainly guarantee success in the fields to which they lead.
There are plenty of reasons why you should pursue a graduate degree abroad.
Be sure that the tutor you have chosen to work with is compatible with you and puts you at ease. This way, when you have a lot of "silly" questions, can't grasp a certain concept, or just have a mental breakdown, you will be comfortable being forthright with your tutor
When you step away from shiny admissions brochures there's a real risk in taking yourself out of the job market. Essentially, there's no real guarantee of professional success post-graduate school.
A great score on the GRE can open the door to many outstanding programs, while a poor score may dash your possibilities of admission into your top choice schools. The pressure is on for this exam, and making sure you prepare in advance will set you up for success on the day of your test.

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
Bigoted pastor Louie Giglio, who had been invited to deliver the benediction at President Obama's Inauguration, has been removed from the program. ABC News Chief White House correspondent Jonathan Karl reports that Giglio withdrew in light of the firestorm caused when his incendiary sermon came to public attention.
According to Karl, whose report may be found here, Giglio voluntarily removed himself from the ceremony. More likely, however, he was asked to withdraw by the President and the Presidential Inaugural Committee.
A spokesperson for Giglio sent a statement to ThinkProgress, the blog that originally brought attention to the hateful sermon, saying in part, "Due to a message of mine that has surfaced from 15-20 years ago, it is likely that my participation, and the prayer I would offer, will be dwarfed by those seeking to make their agenda the focal point of the inauguration. Clearly, speaking on this issue has not been in the range of my priorities in the past fifteen years. Instead, my aim has been to call people to ultimate significance as we make much of Jesus Christ."
He added, "Neither I, nor our team, feel it best serves the core message and goals we are seeking to accomplish to be in a fight on an issue not of our choosing, thus I respectfully withdraw my acceptance of the President's invitation."
Addie Whisenant of the Presidential Inaugural Committee issued the following statement: "We were not aware of Pastor Giglio's past comments at the time of his selection and they don't reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this Inaugural. Pastor Giglio was asked to deliver the benediction in large part for his leadership in combating human trafficking around the world. As we now work to select someone to deliver the benediction, we will ensure their beliefs reflect this administration's vision of inclusion and acceptance for all Americans."
This imbroglio will no doubt cause homophobes to cast themselves as victims and gay activists as bullies, particularly since the mainstream media has failed to give a good sense of exactly how ugly Giglio's sermon is. I rather suspect that any pastor who spoke approvingly about the execution of Jews, Muslims, or any other group than homosexuals would never have been invited to appear on an inaugural platform in the first place.
The quick reaction to the discovery of the ugly sermon indicates once again the power of the blogosphere. Once ThinkProgress reported on the sermon, the story went viral and bloggers, far more than the established gay rights groups like GLAAD or the Human Rights Campaign (which, I believe, have yet to make a statement about the outrage), quickly made it an issue and quickly petitioned that Giglio's invitation be rescinded.
It is good to know that the Obama administration was not aware of the views of Giglio and would not have invited him had they been. However, they should have done due diligence and discovered the sermon on their own. All it would have taken is a Google search.
Those of us who worked so hard for the reelection of President Obama will be able to enjoy the Inauguration far more than we would have had Giglio been given a platform.
I hope that the Inaugural Committee will select someone to deliver the benediction who shares the President's belief in equal rights for all under the laws of a secular country.

The East India Company has now disappeared almost without trace. There are a few physical remains in London, like the empty basins of the East India Docks now ringed by skyscrapers. Yet the effects of its trade are still all around, in British mass consumer tastes, in the English language and in our very society.
With the success of the Company, the products of Asia became part of the British way of life. There were new foods and drinks, different and exciting clothes, and items for the home such as teapots and porcelain ornaments, furniture and textiles. Shopping itself became a leisure activity.
Todays coffee shops and Indian restaurants are just part of the legacy. Our multi-ethnic and multicultural Britain is another.
The number of Asians coming to Britain was very low at first. Company employees brought back Indian domestic servants, and Indian and Chinese seamen, known as lascars, were occasionally employed on Company ships. By the 1790s there were significant numbers in London, often living in the most sordid conditions. Many returned to Asia but a few lascars remained. They would form the first of the Asian dockland communities which grew up in all the major ports of Victorian Britain.

I dont think mitchel takes the best shot. but its also his inexperience he doesn know how to survive once hurt. so if he gets hit once hard its likely he is going to take ten more shots its experience he also lacking started latePosted November 21, 2012 8:17 am

Banks should stick with coaching.Posted November 20, 2012 4:18 am
Wouldnt read to much into Banks overall..this was bound to happen with Mitchell.Posted November 20, 2012 12:56 am
Yeah, I agree with Anon, Mitchell is for sure chinny. Feather fisted chaz touched him and had him hurt. What's even worse than him being chinny is the fact that it takes forever for him to recover. If you buzz Mitchell at the beginning of the round you pretty much can have your way with him because he takes the remainder of the round get himself back together.Posted November 20, 2012 12:48 am
Mitchell is a football player and not a fighter – He is a nice guy but like so many other so-called bad dudes – Ray Lewis, James Harrison, Lawrence Taylor, Reggie White and many many others – it is much easier to level someone who not only is often looking the other but is also not allowed to fight back such as quarterbacks and running backs than it is to level someone who is facing you one on one and is most definitely allowed to fight back. Seth Mitchell was never a bad dude nor was he ever a prospect – He is a football player through and through.Posted November 19, 2012 10:45 pm
Adamek vs. Banks II, that would be great.Posted November 19, 2012 9:23 pm

New-look lineup for prep hoops finals
If that situation happens in, say, Division I or II, the section takes a significant revenue hit.
"I haven't heard any complaints so far, either with the format change or going to Viejas (Arena) instead of Jenny Craig (Pavilion), which is a cozier building for us," Labeta said. "We could have played a few games at Jenny Craig on Friday, but then we'd need a second site for Saturday, so going to Viejas for both days seemed like a wiser move.
"When we take a look at how this worked, we may decide to change it again. I doubt we'd ever go back to separate days for girls and boys. I've coached both boys and girls and separating them is not good for anyone. We'll always mingle the two.
"I think this is a good idea to try."
And then next year the basketball championships will change once again.

Hi, I'm new to the community. I'm TTC after losing my son at 28 wks gestation this past April due to an unknown cause.
Prior to becoming pregnant with my son, my periods were like clockwork: every 28 days, ovulating on day 14. We got pregnant after about 6 months of TTC. Since giving birth to him, my cycles have varied from 21d to 28d, getting a bit shorter each time (in order: 28d, 26d, 23d, 23d, 21d). I always ovulate but that day varies from 9d (this past cycle) to 15d (the first cycle after giving birth). I use an ovulation kit for confirmation but can always feel moderate pain on the side from which I'm ovulating, which isn't abnormal for me. For what it's worth, I'm 33 years old and healthy.
Should I be concerned about my cycles gradually shortening? Is a 9-day follicular phase too short a time for my uterus to prepare to receive a fertilized egg?
I'm making an appointment with my OB/GYN for as soon as possible tomorrow morning. Today is Sunday so I thought I'd see if there's anyone in this community who knows about this or who has experienced this themselves. Thank you for any information.

Solaire Generation Unveils Premium Solar Carport Structure at GE Campus
PLAINVILLE, Conn., June 16, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Solaire Generation unveiled its patent pending Premium F2 Solar Carport Structure at a GE facility in Plainville, Conn., as part of GE's largest Electric-Vehicle (EV) charging station installation in North America.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110616/NY20953 )
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy, Luis Ramirez, CEO of GE Energy Industrial Solutions, and Laurence Mackler, CEO of Solaire Generation, were present at the opening ceremony.
"Solaire Generation is proud to have been selected to design, fabricate and install our solar carport for General Electric and Inovateus," said Mr. Mackler. "This project exemplifies Solaire's continued commitment to innovation and supports our mission to making a significant and enduring contribution to the development of solar energy."
Mr. Ramirez stated that the "Solar Carport provides clean energy alternatives to oil and biofuels, expands our ability to capture the sun's energy and helps us deliver a viable EV ecosystem. This is a bright day for EV infrastructure development in Connecticut and the nation."
Solaire Generation's Premium F2 solar carport features an innovative dual incline design that generates high energy yields and protects against rain, snow, and ice. The F2 seamlessly integrates GE's technology, utilizing Solaire's structure and wiring systems to support GE EverGold Safety Switches and GE Combiner Boxes along with GE EV Charging Stations. GE's core AC equipment safely distributes power generated from the solar panels.
Governor Malloy said, "This exciting project will be a blueprint for people all around the country who are interested in developing this type of green solar charging technology, linking renewable energy with electric vehicles and making our lives cleaner and greener."
GE is Solaire Generation's first installation to incorporate Solaire's patent pending advertising and branding platform that offers 200 square feet of advertising per parking space. Solaire's unique advertising and branding options may improve the financial returns of installing solar energy in parking lots by providing additional revenue streams.
Smart grid technology is used to fully charge up to 13 electric vehicles per day via six Level 2 GE EV Charging Stations. The 98.7kW project will produce the energy equivalent to power 20 homes per year. The average freestanding home uses approximately 7,000 to 10,000 kW hours per year.
About Solaire Generation
Solaire Generation is the market leader in solar carport design, innovation and technology, transforming parking lots into beautiful solar power plants. Solaire claims the largest corporate solar carport installation in the USA, a 3.6 MW installation at Dow Jones that incorporates 25 Premium F1 carports. Installed nationwide, Solaire structures are designed and fabricated in the USA. Optional features include advertising, water harvesting and OEM EV charging stations. Solaire has two patents with several more pending, both domestically and internationally.

A well-designed, collaborative process will best serve couples where the wife is the primary breadwinner.
Equity investors looking for higher returns should consider low-volatility, less liquid stocks , which outperform their higher-risk peers over the long term, says Zebra Capital chairman Roger Ibbotson .
In Session 1 of the 2013 Morningstar Individual Investor Conference, Northern Trust's Katie Nixon, Charlie Bobrinskoy of Ariel, and Morningstar's Bob Johnson tackle today's macro questions on government policy, economic growth, inflation, and more.
Morningstar investment experts Russ Kinnel, Matt Coffina, Josh Peters, and Sam Lee answer viewer questions about the current market and the best opportunities in stocks , funds, and ETFs today.
Morningstar's Christine Benz shows you how to uncover portfolio strengths and weaknesses, determine the impact of market movements on your asset mix, and more.
Taxable- bond funds led open-end asset flows in February, with investors showing interest in emerging-markets bonds and bank-loan funds.
The outlook for bonds is just as cloudy as ever, but Morningstar's Miriam Sjoblom and Marta Norton offer helpful tips for setting the right expectations and creating a game plan in today's challenging bond market.
Concerns of global systemic shocks have lessened from previous levels, and corporate issuers are more likely to take on riskier bets, according to Dodge & Cox's Tom Dugan.
Core, corporate, and short-duration bond funds continue to be popular as investors seek safer streams of income, but Morningstar's Eric Jacobson is concerned about the longer-term risks.
Stocks and bonds aren't the only places they're looking.
Morningstar's Christine Benz and other financial experts weigh in on what to do when a sound portfolio practice collides with an unattractive asset class.
Some users find value in dividend-paying blue chips, while others are compiling watchlists and waiting for a pullback.
