American Idol
American Idol Season 2013 Episode 3 Recap: "We Found Some Top Notch People Here Today"
Frog-killers, big fights and medleys of scary auditions, oh my! American Idol 2013, episode 3, took place in Charlotte, North Carolina, and it wasn't short on excitement. We have to ask, though, should the show officially change its name to "Country Idol" this season? Simon would be rolling over in his 300 count Egyptian sheets. Perhaps it was just because the show took place in North Carolina, but everyone and his sister seemed to be going country. The fun part was it helped us to get to know the most soft-spoken of the American Idol 2013 judges, Keith Urban.
American Idol winner Scotty McCreery of season 10 was on hand to bolster the spirits of the hopefuls, and he hasn't lost a lick of that down-home Southern charm. We caught snippets of some personal convos, Mariah Carey did a bit of impromptu singing, and Nicki Minaj was doling out nicknames like Chris Harrison doles out roses. The monikers Nicki bestowed on these folks were -- uh -- interesting. We met a "Bunny," "Jumanji," and even a "Collard Greens." Hey, don't knock it -- this could be a good memory exercise for those who haven't upped their ginkgo biloba. Note to self -- compile a list of "Nicki-isms," as you never know what's going to come from that judge's mouth next.
Those of us who don't appreciate the "funny auditions" had to have been pleased with the Charlotte audition show, as we were mainly treated to stellar singers. Of course, it wouldn't be American Idol if there weren't at least a few silly ones. Joel Nemoyer tried to incorporate a technique from season five, when Chris Daughtry was taught to sing while lying on his back by mentor Andrea Bocelli. Needless to say, it didn't work. His horizontal version of Michael Buble's "Feelin' Good" fell as flat as he was.
As we mentioned, American Idol 2013 has gone a bit country this season, and we saw quite a few of them tonight. Jimmy Smith nailed Rascal Flatts' "Bless The Broken Road," and even earned a "That's poppin'" from Nicki. A five-foot-nearly-nothing African American woman who was dubbed "Blondie" by Nicki took on Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova," and the performance bowled over the judges. But it was Janelle Arthur whose country medley really stole the show, drawing a "young LeAnn" comparison from Randy Jackson (Ouch, sorry LeAnn).
The country climax came when Summer Cunningham took the stage, impressing the judges with a country version of "Lean On Me.l" The judges loved her vocals, but she made a bit of a misstep when she said "I already did the Country thing," as Keith didn't take too kindly to that. He even went so far as to make an analogy to brain surgery (Keith, we love you, but country music is NOT rocket science). Other than that, though, the judges would have bronzed her golden ticket if they could have. It was after Summer's audition that the wheels fell of the diva wagon but, after all the edits by FOX, the much-hyped feud was another case of "much ado about next to nothing."
It would be nearly impossible to choose the best of the best from the American Idol 2013 Charlotte auditions. As Nicki said, "we found some top notch people here." In keeping with our prediction that a girl will win this season, however, two people seemed to steal the show. One was Isabel Gonzalez, whose aunt nominated her for the show. She showed up and channeled an old soul for a Sam Cooke song that left the judges *nearly* speechless. And Candice Glover did exactly what the judges hoped she would do after being sent home last year from the Las Vegas auditions. She came back and knocked their socks off. Nicki even said, "I want to skin you and wear you," but in a much less creepy non-Silence of the Lambs way.
The funniest moment of the night had to go to Ja'Bria Barber, who talked about going "gigging" for frogs at night with friends. As one could only expect, she assured the judges that frog legs taste like chicken. Uh huh. Despite the silly nature of her backstory and the -- ahem -- distaste for leaving what Nicki termed "disabled frogs" all over North Carolina, Ja'Bria's voice was anything but a joke. She earned that golden ticket. One less leap for frogs, one giant leap to Hollywood for Ja'Bria.
There were plenty of feel-good moments, with Brian Bittenberry managing to get to auditions despite his wife's recent battle with cancer. He inspired them with his backstory and his beautiful, husky voice. Rodney Barber used to be homeless but now he helps others in the same situation, and his rendition of "I'll Be" earned him a "captivating" from Nicki.
Alas, we know the Idol formula, and it was the final moment of the night that left us truly touched. Seretha Guinn's boyfriend had just been in an extremely serious car accident, but she made it to auditions with her daughter, London. Extra points for lil' London turning the tables on Nicki, dubbing her "Dun-Dun"! It's a fitting nickname, don't you think? The hair stylist from Charlotte said she was singing "Fresh Prince of Bel Air," which garnered some looks from the judges, but her unique performance blew the judges away.

ALBANY, Ga. -- With the release of 1,000 black balloons and the deafening roar of a 21-cannon salute, veterans paid tribute to POWs and MIAs Saturday in Veterans Memorial Park.
"We would like to pay tribute to the POWs and MIAs who have not found their way home," said Ray Humphrey, America Legion Post 30 commander. "This is our first year. We will have one next year and we'd like to see this become a national tribute."
The Albany area tribute joins another held for the third year at the Western reserve National Cemetery.
"This is a non-political tribute. It is for those in unknown graves and the prisoners of war who didn't come back," Humphrey said. "We will be playing retreat at the end, not taps, because we consider them to still be on duty."
During a brief summary of missing-in-action and prisoner-of-war issues, Charles "Nick" Nicholson said that the science of DNA has helped identify many missing in military service.
As June 23, the remains of a U.S. Marine killed in action in World War I were laid to rest in Arlington National Cemetery, according to the website usmc.mil. The remains of First Sgt. George Humphrey of Ithaca, New York, were found in September.
DNA and dental records allowed the remains to be identified so that after 90 years Humphrey could return to his country to be buried in a flag-draped coffin.
"There were 86,981 who won't see their flag again," Nicholson said. "It is highly unlikely any missing from World War II are still alive."
Vietnam war veterans at the event said that about 55 MIAs from their conflict had recently been identified and returned home, including four U.S. Air Force Airmen on June 14.
"I don't think we should ever forget these MIAS and POWs," said Don Gibson, a Vietnam War veteran. "We should never give up hope that we can bring them all home."
Paying his respects at the tribute, U.S. Congressman Sanford Bishop, D-Albany, said he had personal reasons as well as patriotic reasons to attend the tribute.
"I have a friend who was very dear to me who was missing in action for 30 years," Bishop said. "When I made a Congressional delegation of one to visit Vietnam and Laos to look into the matter of MIAs, it was a coincidence he was found."
The remains of Bishop's friend, Thaddeus Edward Williams Jr., were identified and returned to America in December, 1998, according to the website pownetwork.org.
Bishop said he has continued his work to have the remains of veterans identified and returned home as a Vietnam War veteran patted him on the back.
"This guy has done a lot to help us bring our friends home from Vietnam," said Leo Harrison, Veterans of Vietnam War Post 1 Albany commander.
Harrison also composed and sang a song for the tribute. Perhaps some lyrics from his POW-MIA song could sum up feelings for the day's tribute.
"He lost a good friend somewhere near Long Binh...
There will be no satisfaction
Till the missing in action
Are found and brought home."

EVER wondered why carnation buds always appear at the top of a stalk? Or why snapdragons and lupins only grow flowers along their stem? Biologists in Norwich have the answer. They have discovered a gene that stops the main stems of snapdragons producing flowers at their tips.
Enrico Coen and Rosemary Carpenter and their colleagues at the John Innes Centre have discovered a gene called centroradialis, or cen. Besides throwing new light on how plants develop, their discovery may allow horticulturists to create unusual blooms, by moving cen genes from one species to another.
The biologists produced mutant snapdragons by using "jumping genes" - slugs of genetic material that hop randomly into the plant's genome, disabling any genes they land in. One of the mutant snapdragons produced a flower at the tip of its stem, which suggested that the jumping gene had sabotaged the gene that would normally have prevented ...

PETER TURCHIN thinks he can see the future. Unlike the fortune teller you might find at a seaside carnival, he needs no crystal ball. Instead, the tools of his trade are mathematics and testable theories. Armed with these, his goal is nothing less than to revolutionise the study of history, turning it from a mass of anecdotes into a rigorous, predictive science.
Turchin calls his new discipline cliodynamics, after Clio, the classical Greek muse of history, and so far its biggest focus has been the fate of empires. Now Turchin is using patterns he has found underlying their rise and fall to make predictions of political changes to come. His forecast is alarming. If his calculations are correct, the US faces major civil unrest and political violence sometime around the end of this decade.
Critics call Turchin's approach simplistic and naive, with some arguing that recorded history is ...

With the dust settling on former Kyambogo University Vice Chancellor Prof Isaiah Omolo Ndiege's tenure, Parliament's Education and Sports committee has turned the heat on the current administration, recommending that some of them be investigated.
"The problems at Kyambogo University are beyond 'mismanagement of the university' by the VC as alleged by the petition but reveals deep-rooted rot," the committee said in a report on the crisis-ridden university.
The report cites irregular admissions and awarding of marks, irregular appointments that have led to incompetent staff, irregular procurement practices, financial mismanagement, indiscipline and poor or lack of action on indiscipline cases, fraudulent fees payment and theft of university property, among other ills at Kyambogo.
The committee wants an in-depth probe by the Auditor General, IGG and Police. Those recommended for investigation for academic malpractice include the acting Vice Chancellor, Prof John Asibo Opuda and Academic Registrar Rose Giibwa Bwire.
The Observer recently reported about fake student admissions, leakage of examinations, delayed examination results and alteration of examination results, leading to incorrect graduation lists. Our report also talked of a duel between Opuda and Ndiege over administrative issues such as distribution of university land.
In one instance, Ndiege declined to give away university land to the ministry of Education, which was looking for space to build its headquarters. However, Prof Opuda defied his boss and handed over the land title along with an apology. When the land title was eventually returned, more land had been irregularly taken from the university main title.
Other officials likely to feature in the investigations include University Bursar Ham Mungyereza, Human Resource Director Godfrey Tumwesigye and Peter Mujuni, the director of Planning and Development.
In a September 17, 2012 dossier to Parliament, Ndiege accuses Mungyereza of failing to supervise staff under his docket, who were involved in fraudulent activities.
"Investigations had discovered a racket in which some students pay partial accommodation fees but are issued with receipt for full amount," Ndiege told the committee.
The vice was reportedly rampant in the faculties of Education, Arts and Social Sciences as well as the school of Management and Entrepreneurship. MPs want Mungyereza to explain his failure to submit financial statements from the above faculties. "This is tantamount to insubordination and impunity," the committee report says in part.
Mungyereza is also accused of inflating vouchers for student field trips, approving payments with incomplete documents and misuse of a university vehicle. The Observer is in possession of a memo that Mungyereza wrote to Ndiege seeking to use a university vehicle every week.
"I wish to inform you that my family and home are based in Masaka. I have no home in Kampala. I am, therefore, bound by marital obligations to go to Masaka every weekend, which is outside Kampala to see my family," Mungyereza wrote in an August 23, 2012 letter.
Ndiege refused, writing on September 9, 2012: "Is this in order to give standing permission for use of vehicle every weekend? No."
Doubts also abound about Mungyereza's qualifications to be a University Bursar after he was declared unfit to be a chief finance officer for Sembabule district by the Public Service Commission, six months before he joined Kyambogo University.
"Mr Mungyereza, however, had a bachelors degree in Economics which wasn't relevant to the post of Chief Finance Officer. He obtained ACCA affiliate membership on 26/6/2006. He, therefore, lacked the required academic and or professional qualifications to be retained in the service as Chief Finance Officer. He should have been redeployed or retired from the service," Duncan Bigirwa the Secretary Public Service Commission wrote on April 16, 2010.
The letter was in response to an earlier memo by Sembabule District Service Commission seeking guidance on the regularization and reinstatement of Mungyereza as chief finance officer after his two-year unpaid leave to work with the Nile Basin Initiative and the Equatorial Lakes Subsidiary Action Programme Coordination Unit.
When he sought to return to Sembabule, he was rejected, forcing him to go to court but lost the case, forcing him to plead for an honourable exit.
"I wish to request Sembabule district to retire me honorably if it is not able to accept me for redeployment so that I can join private sector," he wrote in a letter dated June 8, 2010 to the Acting CAO Sembabule district.
Mungyereza was reluctant to respond to Parliament's recommendation, saying he wasn't privy to their findings. He, however, acknowledged issuance of receipts for full payment for students who had made partial payments by his staff but said disciplinary action had been taken against one staff.
On the vehicle, he says he asked for it because he lacked the official vehicle.
"Do you want me to move by foot?" he asked.
HR Director:
There are also reservations about Tumwesigye's competencies to hold the job since he had apparently had no relevant experience. Before joining KYU in July 2010, he had worked as a lecturer at Uganda Management Institute and MUBS. Ndiege says Tumwesigye's performance is wanting.
"He has been learning on the job while making fatal mistakes, some of which may have contributed to the current impasse. He failed to delete from the payroll staff that had left KYU, resigned, absconded or died."
Tumwesigye had been the first runner up during interviews for the job and only took on the job after the first candidate declined the offer.
He is also accused of promoting staff without approval from the Appointments board. Others are irregular extension of contracts for redundant staff without approval from the appointments board, and failure to execute staff performance monitoring appraisal. Tumwesigye's phone remained unanswered, when we attempted to talk to him.
Academic Registrar:
Before Bwire joined Kyambogo, she had been an experienced registrar at Makerere University. In recommending her for the Kyambogo job, former academic registrar Mukwanason Hyuha vouched for her professional knowledge but was worried about her work attitude.
"Once in a while, she would unilaterally decide to relax (instead of attending to student transcript demands) in face of heavy transcript demands.... hence once in a while, I would walk to her office to diffuse matters arising from the complaining clientele," he wrote at the time.
But the then vice chancellor, Prof Venansius Baryamureeba wondered if she was capable of holding the job.
"Her interpersonal relations wouldn't favour her to effectively supervise a team of middle and lower level professional staff," he wrote.
The legislators want Bwire to explain cases of irregular admissions, awarding of marks, delays in the release of exam results, fraudulent fees payment and theft of university properties.
Illegal payments:
Prof Ndiege also accuses at least five top university officials of illegally receiving allowances amounting to Shs 61m that had been abolished by the council on May 27, 2011.
"Further note that you have been receiving both Top-Up Allowance and Responsibility allowance and 10% NSSF between July 2011 and January 2012 against the established Council policy."
Those affected also include Prof Opuda, Mungyereza and Tumwesigye. A memo dated February 20, 2012, asked them to refund the monies they had been irregularly paid.
We have also seen documents indicating that some top university officials could have been appointed in disregard of damning confidential reports about their performance from their previous employers and supervisors.
University Council probe:
The recommendations are not at variance with the conclusion of the University Council, which called for a continued probe into other officials responsible for Kyambogo's troubles. Those affected are expected to face various ad hoc committees set up by the council on Finance, Academics, Administration and Welfare. Some staff members have proposed that the university's security department be added to the list after the disappearance of a lorry-load of computers last year.

Don't know if you heard, but the NFL lockout is over. Yeah, I'm pretty excited, too.
Oh, and Ike Taylor re-signed with the team. So did Willie Colon. Before that, Hines Ward won Dancing With The Stars and got a DUI (or didn't, if you ask him). James Harrison said some dumb shit. Rashard Mendenhall said some dumb shit. Ben Roethlisberger pretended to regain religion and got married. Ryan Clark quit Twitter. Ryan Clark rejoined Twitter. Ryan Clark used Twitter to make salient points about the lockout. And, saddest of all, Mike Wallace rooted for the Miami Heat to win the NBA Finals.
If you're one of the untold millions who rely exclusively on this blog for your breaking news needs, you likely missed all these developments because I've been dormant on DCSN for a good six months or so. No, it wasn't because I was taking the Steelers' Super Bowl loss particularly hard, unless nightly self-induced alcohol poisoning and plotting for the destruction of Wisconsin is a more unreasonable reaction than I've allowed myself to believe.
No, it's because I've been spending a lot of my time working for a moving company to pay the bills. And you'd be surprised how pissed they get if you take a break from carrying a tall dresser down the stairs to write a blog post about Antwaan Randle El getting cut. All I ask is a little perspective. Corniness aside, I haven't been in front of my computer all that much. And when I have, I've been a little too bummed out by the whole lockout business to bother with writing about the Stillers.
But now (or at least a week ago) the lockout is over, thus wresting away any excuse I had not to write on this site. So now, heart in hand, I proclaim that I renew my commitment to using words to convey my love for Stillers footbaw and hatred for Arians bubble screens and whiny ass Ravens fans. Rejoice! It's back.

Mike D'Antoni isn't going anywhere. Right now, anyway.
Nov 16, 2010, 12:37 PM EDT
By and large, Knicks fans bought in to what team president Donnie Walsh was selling about Mike D'Antoni — you couldn't judge him on the first two seasons. The roster had to be gutted to clear out cap space. He didn't have the players to win regardless of system.
This is the first season you can judge him — and the Knicks are 3-7. The team's best player is bemoaning a lack of urgency from the squad.
Not so fast, Walsh told the New York Times.
"This team is a young team that has to be brought along a certain way. He's trying to do that. In the first 10 games, I expected that we would be up and down, and we have. So I don't think it's time for me to make judgments on Mike."
D'Antoni is going to get this entire season. At least. Raymond Felton has been about what you can expect Raymond Felton to be at the point, and Amar'e Stoudemire has embraced the role of star and team leader. But until Danilo Gallinari is consistently knocking down shots — until frankly the entire team starts to shoot well enough to space the floor — it's not going to work well.
It's still a process. And frankly the moves Walsh makes will matter more than the ones D'Antoni does.

Would it be too hard just to practice a little defense once in a while. Understandably the defense isn't as bad as most think, but it can still be improved because they have speed. And rebounding…show some footage of Dennis Rodman. He wasn't even that big but pulled in rebounds all night because he knew how to do it. The Knicks just need to improve all aspects of the game just a little bit.

The Exhumer pulls nails buried so deep, you'd think they were buried by an undertaker. This radical version of a Japanese Nail Puller gets in tight and damages wood much less than traditional nail pullers. Plus, smartly designed into the handle is the elusive wrench for your circular saw and a bottle opener. You might say it kills two birds with one stone. 10½" of powerful leverage. Imported.

Jose Fonte's last-gasp header secured Southampton a 2-2 draw and saved defensive partner Jos Hooiveld's blushes against Fulham on Sunday afternoon.
The Portuguese centre-back nodded home a 90th-minute leveller in a game in which he had broken the deadlock after just four minutes.
Hooiveld directed home a speculative John Arne Riise drive in the second half and then saw Kieran Richardson's close-range strike brush off him on its way in two minutes from time, although the goal was credited to the Fulham man. However, Fonte saved the Dutchman and his side late on to earn Southampton a fourth point of the campaign.

There are many fabulous benefits in knowing how to play golf. The best of these benefits occurs when you are invited to play at a friend's golf course.
This is not true of other sports or activities. If your best friend is a bowler and he invites you to bowl with him, that's great, but all bowling alleys are the same, measuring 41.5 inches wide by 60 feet long.
Lots more folks are beginning to play golf in Brunswick County.
Kids are learning golf through The First Tee or summer golf camps. Other youngsters come to visit grandma and grandpa (who own a home right on a golf course) and soon, Granny and Poppy have their grandchildren out on the practice tee and on the course.
In addition to our junior golfers, hundreds of new retirees are moving to our coastal communities. Many of them dreamed of playing the game of golf but never had the time to get involved.
Gary Stewart, 72, of Carolina Shores shot his age or better four times during the month of May. He had one round of 72, two of 71 and one of 69. He played all four of those rounds at his home course of Carolina Shores.
The Brunswick Ladybirds played May 28 at St. James Plantation. These are the results:
Greg Hensley has been selected to represent the First Tee of Brunswick County at the 2008 Summer Leadership and Life Skills Academy July 8-15 at Kansas State University.
He will join 100 other First Tee members from around the country and the world for a week of leadership building, life skills workshops and golf. They will stay in dormitories while being chaperoned by Kansas State students who are involved with the leadership curriculum offered at the university.
Last year, Eric Grant represented the Brunswick County chapter of The First Tee at the Leadership Academy.
The First Tee of Brunswick County is the sole beneficiary of the inaugural Wal-Mart Invitational Sept. 23 at The Thistle Golf Club.
All Brunswick County Wal-Mart stores will be participating in this golf tournament. Brent Guice, manager of the Shallotte Wal-Mart, will spearhead the effort.
Last Saturday, Crow Creek was busy with serious-looking men of various ages heading for the practice tee and the putting green, clubs in hand. Greetings were called out, handshakes were given, but everyone had his game face on.
The Amateur Tour had come to Brunswick County.
I roamed around and chatted with the guys while I was waiting to speak with John Livoti, the tour director.
The Brunswick County Literacy Council is preparing for its 18th annual golf tournament on June 21. The tournament again will be at the Carolina National Golf Club, at Winding River in Bolivia.
The tournament is the council's most successful fundraising event. Last year, the council aided GED students through Generation NEXT. It also began Make Mine a Diploma, which is a dropout prevention program in partnership with Brunswick County schools and BCLC Baby Steps. BCLC gave 2,708 hours of volunteer service to 1,450 residents.
Ocean Ridge Couples played a two-best-nets match (one from the men and one from the ladies) on May 25 on Panther's Run.

How do I Exercise According To My Age?
So you're a decade older and are wondering if you should be slowing down a bit. What folly! 80 years olds have shown that they can increase their muscle mass, proving that age doesn't dictate what we are and aren't capable of.
American 'trainer to the stars', Kathy Kaehler, laughs while telling of her first meeting with singer, Barbara Streisand. "We were talking about how to structure her exercise programme and it must have started sounding all too hard for Barbara because she just stopped me and said, 'Well you know I'm 50?' and I just said, 'Yeah...and?'," says Kathy. "She expected me to roll out a programme of gentle exercises for 50 year olds.
I never look at the women that I work with and base their workouts on their age. "Sure, there are age-related health facts that you bear in mind, like menopause and osteoporosis, but basically, a 60 year old still needs several heart-pounding workouts a week, just like a 20 year old. "Every age group also needs their strength and flexibility to be tested, to keep the musculature that supports the skeleton in later life, which in turn helps prevent falls."
This is the best age for health and fitness. Bone density is at it's strongest between the ages of 25-35, while muscle mass peaks at 25 years old. Unfortunately, a twenty-something year old also tends to think they're bullet-proof. Fast food, fast cars and alcohol can often seem more attractive than a healthy exercise regimen.
*At eFit30 we recommend - At least 30 minutes of activity a day, an hour if the social life will allow it! Include 3 cardio sessions a week and don't be scared to make them "aggressive" weight bearing activities, like running, jump rope or any of our Level 2 Total Body workouts with Fiona and Tony.
Welcome to the decade of being time poor, thanks to marriage, kids, career and a mortgage. A mother's job is not 9-5, so finding exercise time can be extremely difficult. Watch out for snacking on the run, while being inactive might give rise to your first muffin top! Muscle mass will also drop by up to 2% per year if you slip into a sedentary lifestyle.
* At eFit30 we recommend - Still at least 30 minutes a day, but it's time to up the weight and resistance training to two hours per week. So deck out a corner of your house with the essentials, like dumb bells, a floor mat, fit ball, resistance band and a tidy selection of eFit30 downloads. Aerobic activity will keep the weight off on alternate days.
Ah yes, life is good. A higher income means regular dining out is possible, routines are forged, like a nightly chocky in front of tellie, the kids aren't so labour intensive and before you know it, you're not doing nearly the amount of exercise you need to, to burn the excesses off. Women often blame menopause but in reality, they've been slowly gaining the kilos all decade.
* At eFit30 we recommend - It's time to huff and puff again because aerobic exercise is vital for keeping the fat at bay. Power walking and swimming are ideal, even jogging, if your joints are pain free. Mix it up with a couple of hours each week of weight lifting, squatting and pushing (as in, push-ups) and introduce yoga or some of Angela's pilates workouts, for flexibility.
The sharp fall in oestrogen levels after menopause makes it harder for women to hang onto their muscle. In a double blow, women naturally carry more fat and less muscle than men, leaving them open to falls and fractures in older age. You can however, do your bit to bend nature by focussing on eating a higher proportion of daily protein, the building blocks for muscles - like eggs, fish, chicken and lean red meat.
* At eFit30 we recommend - You listen to your body and if it tells you that explosive sports hurt too much, stop. Aerobic exercise is still important, but aim for the low impacts - like cycling, paddling and swimming (experimenting with every stroke). Strength or weight training will ward off osteoporosis, while activities like T'ai Chi and pilates are great for body awareness, making you less prone to fall.

Ruptured Tank Brings Out Fire Fighters
La Crosse fire fighters ended up at the Oktoberfest grounds this morning
after calls came in that people were smelling natural gas. Crews digging up the old Xcel Energy plant hit a buried mercaptan tank. In it, an odorant that gives natural gas that eggy smell. May be there for awhile too says Division Chief, Tom Wallerich.
Wallerich said due to the wind carrying the strong smell, calls came in from as far as 6 blocks away.

|What character flaw most harms a public official?
|What is your favorite book (besides a spiritual text)?
|Of my many favorite books, I will pick THE GRAPES OF WRATH. It depicts the indomitable spirit of humans in the face of overwhelming obstacles.
|What is your favorite place in Arizona?
|Chandler is best for residing, but there are too many beautiful places in Arizona to visit for me to pick just one as my favorite place to visit.
|Which Arizona political figure past or present do you most admire and why?
|I admire former Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Sandra Day O'Connor, because she overcame gender bias and demonstrated how barriers could deprive the United States of great talent.
|Has state government been spending too much money, the right amount, or not enough? Specifically, how would you change the state's approach to spending?
|The answer depends on which Arizona citizen is asked the question. The bottom line is that society must provide the funds in order for the state to provide the expected services. For example, Arizona is constitutionally mandated to provide a "uniform public school system". Whenever the legislature fails to provide adequately for school maintenance and operations, problems are just postponed but ultimately at increased costs.
If we believe that growth should pay for itself, bonding for capital projects is sound. Those who receive the benefits in the future will pay their share instead of saddling current residents with the full costs.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too much money. Why?
|It would be inappropriate to answer such a question at this time without extensive research and consultation with other members of the legislature. I would expect convincing evidence from the program director that the program is necessary, effective, and efficient. In addition, critics would have to provide convincing evidence to the contrary. All the costs as well as the benefits of such a cut must be made clear to me and my constituents.
|Name one state agency or program you believe gets too little money. Why?
|Public education.
If Arizona and its economy are going to operate effectively and efficiently, we must continue to invest in human and physical capital. Businesses in Arizona expect a well-educated work force and efficient transportation. Citizens do not like to waste their time in lengthy traffic jams. Therefore, both K-12 and colleges as well as transportation would both be worthy targets for additional resources.
|If you favor further state tax cuts, name one tax that should be cut and why.
|With the current economic slowdown, revenue decline, and potentially increasing demand for state services, further tax cuts at this time are imprudent.
|If you oppose further tax cuts, name one strategy you would pursue to boost the state's economy.
|It is important to concentrate on and support policies that have proven successful in the past rather than those that have only theoretical impacts. Education and infrastructure investment are two such examples of proven policies. The jobs created provide income that spills over into every sector of the economy from raw materials to finished goods to family incomes.
|Are there any circumstances under which you would favor a tax increase to offset future state budget deficits?
|Increasing taxes at this time should be avoided and can not be enacted by the legislature without a super majority in both houses. This makes it all but impossible. The situation would have to be dire to secure such support. Unfortunately, such a situation could occur and the citizens will have to raise their voices in loud support for it to be passed.
|Should Arizona take the lead in fighting global warming even if the federal government doesn't? If so, how?
|Any efforts that the state may take in fighting global warming could improve the quality of life for Arizonans and provide jobs in new industries. We are uniquely able to take advantage of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind power. Such efforts can improve our air quality while reducing our dependence on oil. Therefore, prudence suggests that we pursue theses opportunities.
|What one state action do you think would work best to combat the problem of illegal immigration. Why?
|The employer sanctions law which was passed in 2007and amended in the spring of 2008 has reduced the opportunities for migrants seeking work. Now, the legislature should press the Arizona congressional delegation to develop an efficient way for temporary laborers to enter the country temporarily, work, pay taxes, and return home to their families without becoming citizens. This opportunity would deprive the human smugglers from abusing poor individuals searching for an opportunity to improve their families' lives and allow us to effectively manage our borders.
|If you could only introduce one bill in the coming legislative session, what would it be?
|I am not going into the legislature with an ax to grind. As a result of the economic circumstances and the recent budget duress, it would be unwise to push a program that would fail its purpose without funding. There is one deficiency that should be addressed in both houses of the legislature, but especially in the House of Representative and it is development of the budget. The appropriations committees should be open forums for discussing and formulating the budget throughout the session. Arizonans are not fully aware of what is in the budget and why we continue the expenditures. If we are going to cut expenditures, citizens should know the consequences of those cuts. Instead of legislators posturing at the end of the session with inflammatory language, let's open up the process so we can air the issues and make sound decisions
|Name one unsuccessful bill during the 2008 legislative session that you believe should have become law.
|I don't have an unsuccessful bill that I feel should have become law. Only laws with true merit should be passed and forcing unnecessary legislation does not benefit society. The bill to allow teachers to carry guns in schools was a measure I opposed and which was unsuccessful. Being a retired teacher and listening to law enforcement professionals, such a measure would have created many unintended consequences that in no way would have improved safety or educational performance.
|Should the Legislature act to reduce the influence of state and federal courts over state government? If so, how?
|Both Republicans and Democrats believe in the rule of law and the separation of powers. The courts are there to protect us from excessive power by the legislative and executive branches. Despite beliefs to the contrary, courts can not initiate any action to change policy. They act only after the question is brought to them and the law is applied or judged to be in violation of constitutional provisions. It is incumbent on the legislative branch to write legislation that does not fly in the face of constitutional guidelines or more clearly write the law to avoid ambiguity. Therefore, we should uphold the separation of powers and the coequal status of the courts.
|What, if anything, should the Legislature do to improve health care for its citizens?
|Rising health care costs and the inability of many to secure or afford insurance affects everyone. The legislature is the perfect forum to discuss this issue and search out possible solutions. Massachusetts implemented a plan in 2006 for which there are some favorable results, but that may not be the only way to deal with the problem. Our aging population and our concern for those young or afflicted requires us to face this issue and decide on a course of action with which we can live.
|Do you support using state funds for bioscience research?
|Bioscience is one of the growth industries of the future. As with all economic development funding, the state must be prudent, but it would be unwise to deny this business sector the support given to others. Solutions to perplexing medical problems can be understood and solved in those labs, but there are risks to be noted and minimized. Our universities have already signed on to biotech research and highly skilled jobs are being offered to our citizens. With due caution, Arizona can be a leader in the bioscience field thus leading to improvements in our quality of life, economic wealth, and improved health care for everyone.
|Do you support the use of school vouchers? Why or why not?
|I do not support vouchers which are funded by reducing money normally allotted to public schools. If we want to provide a quality education for our students, we should apply the resources to the existing public schools and raise them up to our expectation level. Education is not equal throughout the state, but this is not by design. Many highly qualified teachers wish to live in suburban areas with easy access to a lifestyle they enjoy, resources that make teaching easier, and students that are eager and prepared to learn. There should be an incentive for teachers to work in "difficult" schools and efforts made to increase parent involvement to improve their student's performance.
|Should the AIMS test continue to be required for graduation? Should it be toughened?
|In the interim, yes.
Every Arizonan wants some assurance that graduating seniors are prepared for employment or further education. Despite the high costs in terms of time, money, and student frustration, AIMS has generated as many problems as solutions. Teachers, caught in the middle, have geared their teaching to maximize student success on the AIMS, but in doing so other valuable educational activities have been sacrificed including art, music, and physical education. How do we deal with students that are not able to pass the exam in spite of concerted effort and multiple opportunities? In the end, every student must be able to carve out a life for themselves and their success depends not only on the state and the schools, but supportive parents.
|Would spending more money on public schools increase the quality of education in Arizona? Why or why not?
|Spending money without a purpose will change nothing. However, increased spending to hire and retain highly qualified teachers will have a significant impact on quality education. Spending to upgrade aging facilities and providing new facilities for our growing population are essential to making quality education possible. If technology savvy students are expected from our schools, additional money has to be spent on infrastructure, tech equipment, and software. In addition, school districts must swallow the increasing energy cost to operate their facilities. Unfortunately, these expenses must be paid if we are to deliver what citizens expect from their schools.

LAST month a Land Rover travelling on the M62 motorway veered off the road and crashed onto a railway track close to the village of Great Heck, near Selby, in Yorkshire. It derailed the 4.45 am express from Newcastle, which was then hit by a speeding freight train. Ten people were killed. Initial suspicions focused on the possibility that the driver of the Land Rover had fallen asleep.
Driver fatigue is a major cause of road accidents in Britain. The Department of the Environment, Transport and the Regions (DETR) holds statistics on 40,000 serious injuries and 3500 deaths on our roads. It estimates that drowsiness causes at least 10 per cent of all road accidents, and as many as one in five on motorways and trunk roads. It is a bigger killer on Britain's roads than alcohol.

Some examples include:
If an adjunct faculty is teaching for both the credit and noncredit divisions, the teaching limit is based on hours per week (not simply credits) with the limit being 25 hours/week. A chart showing the workload limits for those who function as both credit adjunct faculty and hourly/temporary employees is available on the human resources web page.
Adjunct faculty who teach both credit and noncredit, as well as adjunct faculty who teach credit only, will be expected to follow this policy and division chairs will monitor compliance.
Transcripts and Credentials
All adjunct faculty must have college transcripts (official or unofficial) on file in the Human Resources office within thirty days after employment in order to be considered for employment in subsequent semesters.
Salary Agreement
While the college values the dedication and commitment of adjunct faculty, the employment terms between the college and the adjunct faculty member are for a single semester only and do not imply automatic renewal for future semesters. An adjunct faculty salary agreement will be issued to all instructors who are not teaching full-time during a given semester.
The salary agreement will be extended only when the college is certain a particular course will have sufficient enrollment for it to be taught and after teaching assignments of full-time faculty are made. Occasionally, a course originally intended for an adjunct faculty member will be reassigned to meet load requirements of a full-time faculty member whose course has been canceled due to insufficient enrollment. The decision to cancel is usually made within 24 hours of the closing of general registration. At that time, adjunct faculty affected by cancellations will be notified by telephone by the division office.
The Adjunct Faculty Salary Agreement and an Adjunct ID card will be placed in an assigned mailbox for each instructor on the first day of class. A hiring packet which includes an I-9 Form, State and Federal Withholding forms and a new Maryland hire registry form must be completed and turned into the division office before the first class. No payment can be made to the adjunct faculty until everything is completed.
Adjunct Faculty Compensation
Howard Community College utilizes a multi-tiered pay scale. This compensation program is intended to reward our valued adjunct instructors who provide high quality instruction to HCC's students and a continued dedication to professional growth and development. There are currently three adjunct instructor levels:
Adjunct Instructor $682 per credit
When hired, new instructors are appointed at the Adjunct Instructor level.
Pay Procedures
All employees are paid semi-monthly, on the 15th and the last day of each month. Should one of these days fall on a weekend, the college will pay on the Friday before the pay date. When the college is closed for scheduled holidays or breaks, pay days will be announced. The semi-monthly payment amount is calculated by dividing the total salary agreement amount by the number of semi-monthly pay dates in the contract period.
The college offers Direct Deposit to checking, savings, and money market or investment accounts. Direct Deposit is the preferred method of payment. Use this form to set up Direct Deposit. The college does not release paychecks to employees prior to payday nor does the college grant pay advances.
Payroll checks are bundled and distributed to departments. Direct Deposit advices can be viewed online. Employees can request a paper copy be sent to their departments with the checks, if they cannot access the advices. Employees are encouraged to pick up their checks from the department where they work. Upon request, employees can pick up checks on payday, in the payroll office, starting at 7:30 a.m. Proper identification is required. Employees can authorize in writing the release of a paycheck or pay notification to another employee. Checks are mailed to the home address for those staff members not on campus; all others are held for pick up. All checks not picked up are mailed.

We have featured different kinds of pool tables before – design variations on the classic rectangular pool table. But never before a round pool table! The lack of angles means no nasty corners to bump into. One immediately obvious advantage is the space saving feature for those who love to have company over to shoot some pool but don't have the room for the rectangular sort.
The custom made pool table is the brainchild of JM Billiard Co. They make these in different diameters – 6,7,8 feet. You can choose from over 30 cloth colours and any type of material for your pool table. Wood, laminate, metal etc. They even suggest a fish tank at the bottom if you wish! But most people would find the options for a poker table or dining table top a more useful choice! – Via

Thats so cool! Great find!
Look so nice this pool table round. i want to buy it soon…
Must be very heavy, but looks fantastic !
Awesome. I wonder how long it will take for me to try one of these… heheh

The round pool table is a great way to level the playing field when shooting a few pool balls around. Even seasoned veterans have a hard time getting used to the table, which means the game becomes fun for everyone once again!

ought to be abolished.
As someone engaged in the very useful work of exposing secrets, Prados seems at least as outraged by the CIA's reluctance to reveal its secrets as by the murderous horrors from which those secrets are constituted. But if the secrets are exposed, they'll still be horrors, and — frankly — they'll be nothing entirely new. If the United Nations sees the details on every drone murder, the United Nations will become a more openly pro-war institution, but the dead will still rot, their loved ones will still wail, and the CIA will still be seen as some mixture of necessary strength, heroic cool, and occasional unavoidable excesses so common that we get tired of hearing about them. Unless we decide that enough is enough.

Evidence shows Iran is attempting to develop nuclear weapons, U.S. President Barack Obama told CBS on Friday, adding that he felt his administration should continue the pressure on Tehran to cooperate with the international community over its contentious nuclear program.
In an interview to "The Early Show" Friday, Obama said "all the evidence indicates" that Tehran is trying to get the "capacity to develop nuclear weapons."
With such a capability, Obama said that Iran could "destabilize" life in the Mideast and trigger an arms race in the region, adding that, for that reason, he felt "the idea here is to keep on turning up the pressure."

Where Is Your Appendix – Finding Out
This atavism in human body has no other function but cause us problems which might truly be unpleasant and even dangerous. When you know where is your appendix, you might be able to save yourself trouble of wondering why your abdomen hurts so much. It is usually located on the lower right side of the abdomen, presented in a small piece of tissue which has no usage at all. Where is your appendix matter, since some people have theirs located at the different place. It is scientifically proven that one in five hundred people have their appendix located closer to ribs than to their hips.
Knowing where is your appendix will help in determining if that is the cause of your abdominal pain. Once it gets inflamed, people usually go through tremendous pain throughout their abdomen. Sometimes the symptoms are an indicator for surgery. In other situations, several days of rest will help it soothe. Where is your appendix will not be the question you will ask yourself in many countries in the world. It is due to the fact that both appendix and tonsils are taken out as soon as the child is born. Especially appendix removal might turn truly helpful in avoiding possible future pain.
It is important to know where is your appendix located. Seeing many photos online or in medical books will help you find out if the pains you feel come from some other source. It is usually pressure to the belly which will reflect where is your appendix. It will make certain that this is the cause for your pain. Severely inflamed appendix often requires urgent surgeries, where sometimes minutes matter. It is hard to believe that such unimportant and unuseful piece of tissue might even have lethal consequences. However, that is the fact to live with.
Where is your appendix matter once you are on the surgery. Its natural position will allow surgeons to approach it easily, leaving just a tiny scarf by your hip. In cases doctors do not know where is your appendix, such as in those people who have it by their ribs; you might end up with two instead of one scarf. However, it is easily removed today by quite cheap plastic operations or lasers. This particular pain will be determined for sure at so called BcBurney point, definitely certifying the pain as appendicitis. What parents have to pay attention is the appendix in kids. Little ones cannot often transfer their pain in words, and parents should often check if their bellies are swollen or if their stool is improper, such as in diarrhea.

Do More Than Validate
Deception and frustration are not the way to win happy customers. Getting someone to click a fake 'buy now' button may validate your idea but it could also cost you their trust. That's why it's smarter to use LaunchRock for idea validation.
That said, collecting a person's contact information can be just as alienating if you don't use it. Better to show them you are working to make your idea a reality early on. If you do, you'll accomplish more than just validating your idea – you'll build an engaged audience eagerly anticipating your launch.
The launch plan followed by Gotham Bicycle Defense Industries illustrates a few ways you can turn interest into engagement, and even dollars. This post is a brief case study of some of their best practices.
Case Study: Gotham Bicycle Defense Industries
The Gotham Bicycle Defense Industries launch is a great example of how to use a landing page for more than just idea validation. Yes, Slava Menn and his team had a killer idea in The Defender anti-theft bike light. Yes, they are brilliant MIT engineers who could develop this product given the resources. Yes, cyclists are style minded and gadget crazy enough to love a bike light shaped like a revolver. Still, even when their LaunchRock page took off, there was a lot of ground to cover between "this would look @#$ing cool on my bicycle" and actually manufacturing the thing. So, how did they sustain interest, raise money and make it a reality?
Have Emails, Will Communicate
The Gotham landing page was not an email "black hole." Right from the start they began to build a community by sending out entertaining and engaging communications.
Team Gotham shared video updates throughout the design, prototyping and manufacturing process. These funny and informative posts kept their audience informed about their progress and sustained their excitement. They also wrote regular blog posts about the need for their product and its effectiveness, often using humor aimed at the members of the cycling culture they wanted to engage. All of this helped create goodwill and old fashioned demand. Finally, every email they sent included a motivating incentive and call to action: visit our Kickstarter page to pre-order your Defender.
By communicating with their signups, Gotham was able to build a community invested in their success – and an awesome product. The power of this formula can be seen in the overwhelming support for their Kickstarter campaign. Gotham raised $84,728 to manufacture The Defender, 4.6 X their original goal of $18,000!
What role did LaunchRock play in all this? Well, in Slava's words:
LaunchRock was a turbo booster for Gotham, giving us a base of users for our "bicycle defense startup." Before launching our Kickstarter, we set up a landing page, experimented with different incentives, then shared it with our world. Within a few weeks, we had hundreds of people signing up at bikegotham.com to learn about the mysterious "Worlds First Anti-Theft Bike Light." Prominent bloggers tweeted about it and it helped propel us beyond our funding goal. To launch a successful Kickstarter project, you need a core audence to start the snowball rolling. LaunchRock gave us that core audience.
So don't just validate, communicate with your audience in strategic, informative ways from the beginning. This is the best way to harness the initial excitement of your signups and turn them into an engaged community of customers.
