By Kimberly Nasief, president, Measure Consumer Perspectives
I recently saw an article online — "How the Restroom Symbolizes Your Whole Operation" — about sustainability and hygiene in the workplace, but it started me thinking about bathrooms in general.
While the article focuses mainly on efforts to be more sustainable and eco-friendly, I think we can take the concept of restrooms symbolizing an entire operation a bit further. Think about the last time you went to a gas station, and visited the restroom. I remember one, specifically, where the faucet was leaking, the toilet didn't flush completely, there was toilet paper and paper towels all over the floor. It seemed no staff member had bothered even to walk in, much less tidy up or sanitize, in weeks. While most businesses check these things every hour, I wonder if they had visited the restroom in several days.
You can imagine how excited I was when I left the bathroom to wander through the store and pick up a bag of Cool Ranch Doritos and some Peachie-O's, grab a cold drink or one of those sticky-sweet coffee drinks. No, I got out of there as quickly as possible. Admit it: You've been there, and it's pretty hard to disagree that restrooms are, in fact, the window to a business's soul.
If your business is a restaurant or other foodservice establishment, it's even more paramount to keep up a spotlessly clean and even welcoming bathroom. If you're comfortable letting the most public — and yet private — area of your business get dirty and fall into disrepair, just think where your customers' minds will go where your kitchen and other behind-the-scenes areas are concerned? That may not even be the case. You may run the cleanest kitchen in the city. But you can rest assured that if you have a dirty bathroom, people will automatically assume your kitchen looks just as bad.
If you're a retailer, it's not even required that you offer restrooms, but if you're going to do so as a courtesy to your customers, you can at least do them a favor and keep them up. You might even go the extra mile and merchandise the bathroom with products you offer: lotions, scented candles, hand soaps and the like. Every single aspect of your business, from the parking lot to the porcelain throne, affects how your customers perceive it.
Keeping your bathroom clean isn't hard, but I'll tell you what is: Convincing your customers, after a negative experience in yours, that the dirty restroom they just visited is an exception to the rule. So keep it clean and let people start their visit with you on the right foot.

Swears too much... even for an Irish comic,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Tommy Tiernan: Live [DVD] (DVD)
He is very very funny. However I am sure he would be even funnier if he did not swear..but just held back. I am not in a campaign against swearing or anything like that but I find Lee Evans far funnier when he is not swearing too. I think this DVD should carry a 30 years plus censorship warning.

I just noticed that the past week was designated as National Volunteer Week. What better time of year than this to say a big "Thank You" to the many volunteers who support our Extension programming efforts? I don't have to look far to see the volunteers who give freely of their time to help others. Just this week Joyce Esfeld, known for her bread making expertise, shared secrets to making that perfect pie crust with an enthusiastic audience. Last week, my husband, John, completed teaching the Kansans Optimizing Health workshop with me to residents in Hoisington. And twice this ...
An invitation to visit with a group of GBHS seniors enrolled in the nutrition and wellness class prompted me to revisit some good resources in my files. After my hour long presentation was completed I thought the information would be perfect to share in my weekly column space. No doubt you are noticing that food prices are gradually creeping up higher and higher each time you visit the store. The challenge continues to be, "How can I feed my family healthy food choices for less?"
When I opened the e-mail about an online course related to food marketing to youth, I thought it looked interesting. My schedule was full but at least with this on-line course I could work on it when I had the time. Having put the finishing touches on a new fact sheet addressing the obesity issue I hoped this course would reinforce my thinking about healthy food choices and give me some additional ideas of ways to impact healthy eating habits in others. Well, I was not disappointed.
The smoke swirls around the grill, and fills the crisp morning air with the welcoming aroma of breakfast sausage. This was the first thing to greet the 16 youth hunters, and their parents or sponsors. They showed up just as the sun was rising on the farm yard at Crosby's Wild Game Adventures west of Great Bend for the annual Pheasants Forever Rooster Booster Chapter #504 Youth Pheasant Hunt.

4-H Day is an annual event in each county in Kansas. It gives 4-H members an opportunity to share their talents in public speaking, music and talent. Barton County 4-H Day is equally as important as the county fair for members exhibiting what they have learned.
Is your house child proofed? We have a curious two year old granddaughter and in a few short months our youngest grandchild will be mobile, so that means we will need to child proof certain areas of our home. Children should be curious, but curiosity can turn dangerous if kids are getting under the kitchen sink or into the medicine cabinet where hazardous chemicals and adult medicines are kept. In recognition of National Poison Prevention Week, I want to use my column space today to remind you about storing hazardous materials out of a child's reach.

Beans are a great source of carbohydrates and considered a "Powerhouse food." They have a nutrient profile so strong and versatile that they are considered to be both a vegetable and a protein food. Beans are loaded with fiber and help you feel full longer, and they stabilize blood sugar. Another plus for beans is they cost only pennies per serving.

Harvest is here. Combines, trucks, chaff and grain. Kansas big heart is beating in the hot sun and wind. The heritage of history to support our families and validate the wisdom of our forefathers who risked everything to come here is palpable and visible in the faces of our farmers. It is religious to watch this process draw families, neighbors, custom-cutting visitors and friends together to process the harvest. It was nail-biting to get the rain and risk not getting into the fields in time. Kansas seems to grin at that possibility and solved the problem with 100 degrees and ...
Next week marks the beginning of my 26th year as your Barton County Family and Consumer Science Agent. The old adage "Time flies when you are having fun" is definitely true. It does not seem like a year has passed since I was ordering bread for the 4-H barbecue or lining up roasters for preparing the baked beans. Hopefully you have connected with a 4-H member to purchase your barbecue ticket. Prices do increase after July 1st.
I hope that your family takes time to celebrate with dad on his special day. Not a day goes by that I don't think of my own father. Even though he's been gone nearly 10 years I appreciate the role model he was to our family. A hard working farmer, he was totally outnumbered with a wife and three daughters. He taught us a lot of things and provided opportunities for us to attend college. He even took the time to be a 4-H community club leader for many years. He was a wonderful caregiver to my mother ...
A long time ago, I was a "do it yourself" guy. All that changed in roughly December 1991. I remember it well.

Scenes from Spring Training: Meet The Mets Part 1
Mar 8, 2010, 9:28 AM EDT
Sunday was spent at Tradition Field for the Mets-Nationals game. There's so much more going on than just a game, however, so why don't we run it down. Lots of bite-sized observations, so this will be in multiple parts throughout the day.
I arrived at the ballpark early, hoping to get my bearings before it got too crowded. As I pulled into the parking lot and approached a woman in a Mets jacket to ask her where I could park she started yelling at me: "MOVE TO THE SIDE! MOVE TO THE SIDE! THERE'S A PLAYER COMING!" Sure enough, a player in a Chrysler 300 was behind me — no idea who it was, to be honest — and apparently players aren't expected to have to deal with traffic. Once the player passed the lady was nice enough to tell me where to. Again.
I got my media credentials and started wandering. First stop: indoor batting cages. After seeing Bay and Francoeur hit, first base prospect Ike Davis stepped in. He's quite tall and hits the ball really, really hard. He stepped out of the cage and onto the walkway near where I was standing. As Nick Evans started taking his hacks, Davis took a couple of swings. He was nowhere close to hitting me, but because I'm a nervous newbie not used to gigantic people swinging bats in my vicinity, I flinched noticeably. Davis stifled a laugh and said "Don't worry. I'm a professional."
Past the batting cages are the back fields where players drill and a big grassy common area where fans can watch the action. There weren't too many people there yet. I asked a security guard if this was a typical crowd for a Sunday morning. He said "yeah, it's uush-ally smawler on Sunday until around noon. You know. Choich." Probably worth noting that just about every employee at Tradition Field is a New Yorker.
I watched pitcher's fielding practice for about ten minutes. It's kind of hypnotic. One after the other, faking a pitch, turning and running towards first, fielding the coach's throw and then jogging to the back of the line again. After a while I started making a game of it in my mind, trying to see who was the fastest to first and who was the slowest. Bobby Parnell was pretty quick. Eric Neisen, as you can see in the pic above, was catching the throw farther from the bag than you usually see pitchers do, so I'm going to call him the slow poke.
From PFP it was over to the bullpen, where Nelson Figueroa was throwing his scheduled session. Figueroa seems like a fun guy. A coach was standing behind the catcher calling each pitch a ball, a strike, a hit, or whatever, and each time it was anything but a strike Figueroa would jaw things back at him like "you're blind," or "like you'd know what a strike is," or "that wasn't a hit, Carlos dove for it in the gap and caught it. I got a no-hitter going." The catcher and the coach were dying laughing. When Figueroa was done he signed autographs for approximately 117 hours, smiling and saying something nice and personalized to every kid that was hanging around.
After watching Figueroa, I noticed David Wright was walking from a back field towards the clubhouse. As he did, a mother prodded her David Wright jersey-wearing son — who was no more than seven years old — to say hello to him. The boy hesitated and looked back at his mom, unsure of himself. She nodded encouragement. He turned around and said "Mr. Wright!" Wright slowed down, gave the boy a little finger pistol, a wink, and a "hey kiddo!" and continued jogging toward the clubhouse. The boy broke out into the biggest smile you've ever seen, turned to his mom and said "Did you see that! Did you see that!" That boy will remember that moment until the day he dies.
It and the Figueroa thing were moments I needed. Why? Because I was about to hit the media room and press box, and as you'll see in our next couple of installments, there aren't many aw-gosh, aw-gee warm and fuzzy baseball moments when you're on the turf of the professional sporting press.

Aw, Craig, just when I was about to say something about the way you trash Frenchie, you go ahead and make me tear up a little. But thanks for the heads up on the rest of your posts. I'm signing off for the day.

Mr. Wright!" Wright slowed down, gave the boy a little finger
pistol, a wink, and a "hey kiddo!"
Really bad formatting there, but then again I'm going to hell so I'm probably the only one who had that thought pop into my head.

The reason why Wright couldn't turn around quickly was because of the inertia caused by that giant helmet of his. He needs an extra 25 yards of running room before he can commence a turn. Not unlike turning an oil tanker in the Panama Canal.

But what about YOU Craig? Did David Wright acknowledge YOU when you cooed in his direction?

His most famous moment would come at the expense of Brock Lesnar as Shane Carwin, who wrecked Frank Mir in spectacular fashion, was seconds away from finishing Lesnar at UFC 116. Lesnar would survive, and go on to finish Carwin in the second, but the mystique of Lesnar was shattered that night. It may have been Lesnar's finest performance, athletically, but we always wondered "what if" in regards to Carwin. Carwin would only fight once after UFC 116, a punishing loss to Junior Dos Santos for the right to challenge Cain Velasquez, and has been hurt ever since. People always wondered whether or not he'd come back as the surgeries mounted.
After pulling out of a scheduled fight with Roy Nelson at the end of 2012, in what was supposed to culminate a season of "The Ultimate Fighter," Carwin has announced his retirement from the sport via his Twitter feed.

Really great friendly owners. Very helpful both for what to see and do here as well as for onward travel. Very comfortable stay included free wifi tea and coffee 24/7 as well as toast for breakfast. Really glad I stayed here. Would recommend to anyone
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
The best thing about this hostel is the location. It is right next to the bus station and close to some shops and restaurants. There's not a lot going on in KB, but this place is close to whatever there is. Plus it has A/C and a TV.

Red Hat buys virtualizer Qumranet
U.S. Linux distributor Red Hat has bought the virtual computing solutions vendor Qumranet.
Red Hat gave notice in their press conference this morning that it is taking over the virtualization applications KVM (Kernel Virtual Machine) and SolidICE from Qumranet, Inc. KVM has already been a component of the Linux kernel for two years. Via this acquisition, Red Hat predicts short development times and ensures comprehensive hardware support, thereby providing a strategic advantage over other solutions. SolidICE is a desktop virtualization system that can coexist with Linux or Windows. According to Red Hat CEO and President Jim Whitehurst in response to the acquisition, Red Hat thus becomes one of only two enterprises worldwide that offers complete virtualization solutions, emphasizing its equal rank with Microsoft as technology leader. Red Hat clarifies its target customers on its website in that it will offer Windows desktop users a secure and scalable virtualization platform. According to Red Hat's concept, the product will manage Windows as well as Linux server and desktop virtualization.
As CEO of Qumranet Benny Schnaider confirms, all Qumranet employees will transition to Red Hat. "We could not have found a better partner," he states. Red Hat paid around $107M in cash for the company. The acquisition should have an effect by the end of Red Hat's February 2009 fiscal year, with the revenue in the following year expected to be $20M.
Up until now the Linux distribution had set Xen as the virtualization solution for its Enterprise product RHEL. In a conversation with Red Hat manager Paul Cormier, he confirms that Xen as a component of RHEL 5 would be supported at least until 2014. However, the new Hypervisor, presented at this year's Red Hat Summit conference and to be available end of 2008, will be based on KVM. Red Hat is working on a management infrastructure to support the KVM technology.
Microsoft as technology leader in VM. I do not think so.Referencing:
"Red Hat thus becomes one of only two enterprises worldwide that offers complete virtualization solutions, emphasizing its equal rank with Microsoft as technology leader."
VMware is the undisputed leader in Virtualization. Microsoft is (has been playing) second fiddle with HyperV being the first offering from MS that migh begin to gain significant market share. That makes RedHat number three if you exlcude all the other players (and their ar a bunch).

I'm very easy going and up for just about anything. I would like to meet new people who challenge me to try new things and are open minded. I consider myself to be very positive and always enjoy finding the humor in any situation. Recently I left my nice cushy 9-5 job to focus full time on my company I started 2 years ago. I'm very passionate about this new venture and look forward to the flexibility that working for yourself offers. Traveling is something I really enjoy. I've been fortunate enough to travel to Europe and visited Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Czech Republic and the Netherlands. I also went to Tokyo a couple of years back and loved it. I'm a big music fan and love going to concerts. I went to SXSW in Austin this year and plan on going again next year. My taste in music is pretty eclectic Here's some favorites: Led Zeppelin, Iggy Pop, Dead Boys, Growlers, Kurt Vile, Pavement, Dinosaur Jr., Frank Black, We were promised Jetpacks, Lucero……….. I love being outdoors and will always choose enjoying the day outside vs. watching TV or sports at home. Some activities I enjoy are Surfing, Tennis, Basketball, Hiking, and Kayaking. If you want to know anything else just ask me.
Dining out , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Political interests , Religion/Spiritual , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Wine tasting
Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Cycling, Inline skating, Martial arts, Other types of exercise, Running, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
Don't display my sign
I like Birds, Cats, Dogs, Exotic Pets, Fish, Gerbils / Guinea Pigs / Etc., Horses, Other, Reptiles
Some other viewpoint
I always prefer keeping things cozy and simple where great conversation can take place. Wine bars, sushi, comedy clubs, hiking, Theater, art shows are some fun things that come to mind.
I enjoy all kinds of different foods and hate fast food. I really like to find and experience new activities.
I enjoy many things to name a few: Surfing, playing guitar, playing and watching Basketball, awkward functions, (I'll explain later) and Attending concerts.
The last thing I read was some internet trade magazine. Yea thats right I'm a dork. I also browsed through the local news section of the paper while I was on my lunch break.

Ubuntu 13.04 Will Have Better Exynos 5 Chromebook Support
Published on 05 February 2013 02:30 PM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
Add A Comment
Ubuntu 13.04
will feature better support for the Samsung Chromebook that's powered by the Samsung Exynos 5 Dual ARM SoC.
The Samsung Series 5 Chromebook is one of my favorite pieces of hardware right now since it's one of the first PCs using the
Samsung Exynos 5
, or more particularly an ARM Cortex-A15 SoC. The
Cortex-A15 is very fast
when compared to the Cortex-A9 and even some Intel x86 CPUs.
Ubuntu Linux runs very fast on the ARM Cortex-A15
and overall I've been enjoying the performance and feature-set out of this latest generation SoC from Samsung.
For any developers looking for an ARM development platform or any ARM hardware in general, I highly recommend the Samsung Chromebook as its one of the few devices in the marketplace at the moment to sport an A15 dual-core processor. The price also isn't bad (circa $250 USD), which is basically priced the same as the Exynos 5
Anyhow, Ubuntu 13.04 will improve support for this latest ARM Chromebook to run Google's OS. The Ubuntu 13.04 repository just received
ARM's new universal X.Org graphics driver
, a.k.a. the xf86-video-armsoc DDX. This is a generic ARM SoC DDX driver for the X.Org Server originally derived from the xf86-video-omap driver.
Samsung already provides in the upstream kernel its
Exynos DRM driver
for kernel mode-setting.
Also coming to the Ubuntu "Raring" repository is a "linux-chromebook" package for having dependencies on the necessary support packages for the Samsung Series 5 hardware.
Also bettering up the support state is the forthcoming "vboot-utils" package. The vboot-utils package provides the Chrome OS verified boot utilities required to sign kernels. This is for signing custom Linux kernels using vbutil_kernel in order to get them booted by Chrome OS devices without needing to change the firmware to ignore the kernel signature checks.
It's also possible we may see the necessary (closed-source) OpenGL ES driver appear within the Ubuntu 13.04 repository too.
This Samsung Chromebook status support update for the next Ubuntu release was shared on
Marcin Juszkiewicz's blog
, an embedded Linux developer and one of those working to improve the Linux support for the Google Chromebook.

Ni Hao, Stowaway Kitten From China, Ready For Hollywood Closeup
Los Angeles really is the vanguard of the American Dream, a place where the son of a Nazi can become governor of California, and a utopia where our virtual Ellis Island is a rocket ship of upward mobility.
Unless, of course, you're Mexican, in which case you'd have better odds of making it if you were an adorable, furry pet:
Which brings us to the return of the ultra-cute kitten from China, Ni Hao!
Yeah, the baby kitten who survived 30 days without food or water on a container shipped from China to a Compton warehouse earlier this month is recovering nicely, county officials say. And he's ready for prime time, L.A.-style.
The three-month-old is poised to become a superstar. (There will likely be a waiting list when he's ready for adoption).
L.A. County
Despite a 60-day quarantine to ensure that Ni Hao doesn't have anything that could be spread around, L.A. County Department of Animal Care officials will trod him out today for the news media.
He's ready for his close-up.
The department says that Ni Hao will be doing interviews at the Carson Animal Care Center this morning.
Marcia Mayeda, director of Animal Care, says:
We are excited to see Ni Hao recovering so nicely. He's got a great appetite, he's gaining weight and, although a little clumsy, he's starting to walk on his own.
Just don't ask for an autograph.

GLOCESTER ŌĆö Dr. Michael Barnes, school superintendent of the Foster-Glocester Regional School system, is the 2014 Rhode Island Superintendent of the Year. His selection by the Rhode Island School Superintendents' Association (RISSA) was announced at its general membership meeting on Wednesday.
The award recognizes outstanding achievement in school district leadership, his dedication to the education of all children, his commitment to the community, and his service to RISSA.
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆō A Central Falls woman was arrested Friday and charged with selling crack cocaine from her home on Lincoln Avenue.
Andrea Diaz, of 119 Lincoln Ave., was arrested after members of the Central Falls Police DepartmentŌĆÖs Special Investigative Unit executed a narcotics search of her first-floor apartment.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Authentic Spanikopita (spinach pie), fresh Baklava and traditional and modern Greek dance will highlight the 86th Annual Grecian Festival, a three-day Greek festival that kicks off today at Assumption of the Virgin Mary Greek Orthodox Church.
One of the biggest Greek festivals of its kind in Rhode Island, the festival grounds at the 97 Walcott St. church, will be teeming with activity with everything from Greek dancing groups to an indoor/outdoor Greek Agora (marketplace).
Attorney General Peter Kilmartin says he would favor confiscating guns from people who are the subject of domestic violence restraining orders as a ŌĆ£preventive measureŌĆØ that could avoid situations like the one in Johnston last Sunday when a mother and her young daughter were murdered, her son abducted and then left to roam the streets of Providence and a second daughter was found unharmed inside the home.
ŌĆ£Obviously the whole situation is horrific,ŌĆØ Kilmartin told The Times Wednesday, ŌĆ£innocent people dying and children being abandoned. ItŌĆÖs about as bad as it can get.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō The meeting place for city veterans for more than 90 years, the Major Walter G. Gatchell VFW Post 306 on Fountain Street has been home to blood drives, spaghetti dinners, and hundreds of other community events over the years.
But the 100-year-old city-owned building is starting to show its age and is in desperate need of repair, especially the roof, which needs to be replaced.
Special to The Times
CENTRAL FALLS ŌĆō Dan Klotz has big plans for Central Falls.
PAWTUCKETŌĆöIt's a homeowner's nightmare: living next door to a house where trash and debris are strewn about the yard and the grass is a foot high. Or perhaps the home has been damaged by fire or abandoned for foreclosure and it sits as an eyesore and a target for vandals.
As a relatively junior Democrat in a Republican-dominated Congress, 1st District Rep. David Cicilline says he finds it ŌĆ£very frustratingŌĆØ that a significant portion of the GOP ŌĆ£are not moving forward anything we need to get done,ŌĆØ in terms of the important issues facing the country.
Instead, he says, ŌĆ£they seem very focused on passing bills that are used to communicate a message and speak to the most extreme members of their party, knowing that the bill in the form that they pass it is not going to be taken up by the Senate or is promised to be vetoed by the president.ŌĆØ
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse answered questions ranging from federal spending and the national debt, to the need for infrastructure improvements to Obamacare and global climate change from more than 100 area residents who attended a community dinner at the Portuguese Social Club Thursday.
The second-term Democrat said ŌĆ£it is a challenging time to be in WashingtonŌĆØ because the nation is only slowly coming out of the recession and the recovery is particularly slow in Rhode Island.
The Narragansett Indian Tribe is still in the courts, challenging a Rhode Island Superior Court ruling that rejected the tribeŌĆÖs claim that the 2012 Twin River table games referendum violated the same constitutional provisions that halted previous attempts by the Narragansetts to establish their own casino.
WOONSOCKET ŌĆō Organizers of the biggest block party on the East Coast have announced the entertainment lineup for a dozen stages that will stretch for a half-mile through downtown.
ItŌĆÖs all part of the cityŌĆÖs 125th anniversary celebration scheduled for Aug. 29, spearheaded by Mayor Leo T. Fontaine and a dedicated band of volunteers. The Call is the designated media partner for the event.
Stage 1, at 2 Main St., will feature the Meadowlarks, a big band group with a dozen members.
Stage 2, 20 Main St. will feature country music with a band to be announced.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō A Pawtucket man who shot his 27-year-old ex-girlfriend in the head in 2008 was found guilty a second time by a Providence County Superior Court jury on Monday.
Juan Diaz, 29, who was convicted in the murder of Mayra Cruz in 2010, was found guilty again of second degree murder and discharging a firearm while committing a crime of violence, death resulting.
The verdict was returned one day after a nine-day retrial before Superior Court Justice Robert D. Krause.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆō Despite all the handwringing and gloom-and-doom pronouncements about the death of manufacturing in America, and the movement of such businesses to countries with cheap labor and few regulations over the past several decades, the United States has knocked China out of first place as the favorite place for foreign investment for the first time since 2001.
PAWTUCKETŌĆöA 19-year-old city man is expected to recover after being impaled by a metal fence post in an accident at 167 Carter Street early Sunday morning.
According to Pawtucket Police, Kelvin Fernandez, of 970 York Ave., was a passenger in a car in which the driver struck the fence and foundation of a property at 163 Carter Ave. and came to rest in front of a house at 167 Carter Ave. at around 3:05 a.m.
CENTRAL FALLS -- Jerauld C. Adams back in the mid-1990s was working for a Lincoln engineering company when he became interested in the field of foreclosures, particularly buying distressed properties and rehabbing them.
The Barrington native bought a small boarded-up mansion in Central Falls ŌĆō the Benjamin F. Greene House at 85 Cross St. with 28 rooms ŌĆō and so began what is likely to be a lifelong relationship between the now 43-year-old entrepreneur and the stateŌĆÖs smallest city.
PROVIDENCE ŌĆöThe first same-sex marriage ceremonies in Rhode Island were conducted on Thursday, but if you think that is the end of the long political battle on the issue you have another think coming.
The National Organization for Marriage, a national group opposed to gay marriage, said Thursday that it would sink $100,000 into next yearŌĆÖs elections in Rhode Island to ŌĆ£hold politicians accountable for this travesty.ŌĆØ It pledged an additional $500,000 for the same purpose in Minnesota, where same-sex nuptials also became legal on Thursday.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆö City officials are planning to formally issue a request for proposals (RFP) from private firms to redevelop and/or manage the downtown municipal parking garage and two adjacent parking lots.
CUMBERLAND ŌĆō A local man convicted in June on multiple counts of first-degree and second- degree child molestation was sentenced to 60 years, with 50 to serve, during a hearing on Tuesday before Superior Court Judge William E. Carnes Jr., according to Attorney General Peter KilmartinŌĆÖs office.
PAWTUCKET ŌĆō Police are investigating a second death in as many days after an unidentified man's body was found in the woods off Blackstone Avenue Monday afternoon.
PAWTUCKET -- The body of an unidentified man was discovered in a wooded area on Blackstone Avenue on Monday afternoon. Police confirmed they are investigating the discovery of the body as a suspicious death, but wouldn't release any other details. The medical examiner was called to the scene and an autopsy is planned, police said.

Originally written on Fox Sports South | Last updated 4/13/13
AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) Tiger Woods dropped two strokes at the Masters before he even hit a shot Saturday, and he still has a chance to wear another green jacket. Woods shot a 2-under 70 in the third round at Augusta National, shaking off a two-stroke penalty assessed before he went out to the first tee. When he walked off the 18th green after sinking a testy par putt, he was four strokes off the lead. It could have been better. And worse. At least he didn't get disqualified. Augusta National gave Woods a reprieve, ruling an improper drop Friday should result in a two-shot penalty instead of getting him kicked out of the tournament. He said it was the right decision, even though some called for him to withdraw for signing an improper scorecard. "I'm abiding by the rules," said Woods, who was at 3-under 213. "I made a mistake under the rules of golf. I took an improper drop, and I got the penalty." Brandt Snedeker and Australia's Jason Day were tied for the lead at 7 under, while tw...

Lan's Curiosity It was another boring Friday in ACDC Town. Lan Hikari had just gotten off out of school for the day. Thankfully, he didn't have much homework that weekend. But that still didn't mean he was going to do it.Lan's Curiosity5 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
As if reading Lan's mind, Megaman, Lan's best friend and NetNavi, said, "Lan, you don't have much homework today. You could easily get this done in no time at all!" In response, Lan just rolled his eyes and groaned. Megaman was about to say something else, but he realized it would have no effect on his simple-minded operator, so he kept quiet. To Megaman's surprise, Lan went home and actually did his homework. At first, Megaman thought he was dreaming.
"There, happy now?" asked Lan, looking as though he'd just run a marathon.

The ACC has opted to go to an 18-game league slate next year, regardless of when Pittsburgh or Syracuse enter the conference.
"Our member institutions have been talking about this increase for awhile and knowing our league will be expanding to 14 in the future, we've decided to move to an 18-game conference schedule next year, regardless of our membership number," ACC commissioner John Swofford said in a statement. "The additional conference games create a more equitable schedule and we've received significant feedback from our fans for more conference games."
The current format is a 16-game league schedule - which meant that each team played five teams twice.
On one hand, the increase in league contests looks like a good move.
But I'm not sure I love it.
What it ultimately means is that ACC teams will go soft on their non-conference schedule, pull back with the addition of two more games and also the addition (whether it's next season or in 2013-14) of two big-time programs in Syracuse and Pittsburgh.
It could mean the end of the North Carolina-Kentucky series. It could mean that Duke scales back on its non-league slate.
Let's just hope it doesn't mean that Jim Boeheim and the Orange don't go even "softer" once he enters the league.

Big Ten Network Will Not Televise High School Games In Near Future
Published July 29, 2011
FOILED PLANS: In Austin, Cantu & Bohls report before ESPN "backed away from its plan to televise high school football on the Longhorn Network because of the outcry from other Big 12 Conference schools," network officials "approached a 'handful' of high school coaches about the possibility of airing their teams' games this season." Austin High School coach L.D. Williams Thursday said that he was "contacted 'two or three weeks ago' by Paragon Marketing, which acts as a third party to acquire high school games for broadcast by ESPN Networks." Lake Travis High School coach Hank Carter also said that he was "approached by Paragon about the Cavaliers' season-opening game against Westlake, scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 27." ESPN Dir of Communications for College Sports Keri Potts in an e-mail Thursday said, "We will honor all of our obligations (regarding the Longhorn Network). I think there's a handful (of high school games that were considered for broadcast), but not a lot. I really don't want to go beyond that" (AUSTIN AMERICAN-STATESMAN, 7/29).

Many people in Israel have their heads in the sand, while the nation is being taken apart from within. Peace will never happen in a thousand years,while your neighbors want you dead. I think the poison pens of writers like Aluf Benn and others - not terrorists, will weaken the nation of Israel... And stop day-dreaming about peace, only a divided nation thinks that way. Stand up and be counted. "Remember, your sheep will never sleep, while wolfs are at the door."
