Americans may be getting lazy when it comes to finding love. Some 43% say they'd rather not date someone who lives more than 30 minutes away, according to a new survey of 1,000 single adults by Rent.com. Less than one-quarter say they'd date someone who lives more than an hour away. But rather than dine alone this Valentine's Day, some experts suggest an alternative: Leave town. The nation's lonely hearts have a significantly greater chance of meeting the man or woman of their dreams if they live in the right place, according to census data.
Here are cities with the highest male-female ratio, as well as cities with the most gay couples per capita.
— By Quentin FottrellSlide 1 of 2
Williston, N.D.
Williston is at the heart of the North Dakota oil boom. And since the days of the Wild West and the Harvey Girls — those pioneering waitresses in the Harvey House chain of hotels and restaurants — many have capitalized on the lopsided male-female ratios of mining towns. It's not so different in 2013. The ratio of men to women is most skewed in small oil and mining towns like Williston, N.D., where men living alone outnumber women living alone by more than two to one, according to U.S. Census data crunched by real-estate website Trulia. Why? This smaller metro area is at the center of one very male-dominated industry.Slide 1 of 2
Gillette, Wyo.
This coal-mining town may not be as urbane as New York or exciting as Las Vegas, but it offers a better chance of turning one piece of dusty rock into a diamond. There are two men for every woman in Gillette and Rock Springs. Wyoming is also the least populous state in the country, with less than six people per square mile. Such rural living may not appeal to everyone. If you're single, "don't move into an area where nightlife is almost nonexistent," advises Ummu Bradley Thomas, founder of the Freddie Bell Jones Modeling & Finishing School in Denton, Md.Slide 1 of 2
Las Vegas
Sin City attracts more than its fair share of single men. There are four men for every three women in Las Vegas, Trulia says. That may not sound like a lot, but a single woman on Valentine's Day will probably stand out at a crowded roulette table. And in such a scenario, some experts theorize, men will be more gentlemanly and better behaved than the cast of characters in the bachelor party movie "The Hangover." When men have to compete for women, "they're more likely to follow a more traditional script," says Jeffrey A. Hall, assistant professor of communication at the University of Kansas.
New York City
In New York, the tables are turned. In fact, Manhattan's Upper East Side has a 2-to-1 ratio of young single women to men, according to analysis of census data by the New York City Economic Development Corp. "Billy Joel was on to something when he sang of uptown girls and downtown men," says Jed Kolko, chief economist at Trulia. Although New York's boroughs are 53% women and 47% men, this analysis found that almost every neighborhood in Manhattan has more women than men (with the Lower East Side being among the handful of exceptions).Slide 2 of 2
Washington, D.C.
The majority of both houses of Congress may be men, but the rest of D. C.? Not so much. In Washington, there are almost four women for every three men, according to Trulia's analysis. Presumably, that means male politicos can be choosy. "Washington, D.C., is the worst place for single women to find a date," says Vicky Oliver, author of "The Millionaire's Handbook: How to Look and Act Like a Millionaire, Even If You're Not." In fact, women outnumber men in the big three power centers of the Northeast: Washington, Boston and New York.Slide 2 of 2
San Francisco
The U.S. Census does not ask people about their sexual orientation, but it does log same-sex couples, which gives an indication for singletons, says Gary Gates, a demographer and distinguished scholar at the Williams Institute, a research center that studies sexual identity law and policy. Among cities with a population of over 250,000, San Francisco has the highest number of same-sex couples per capita (30 per 1,000 households), followed by Seattle (23), Oakland, Minneapolis (22) and Atlanta (20). But smaller cities and towns have an even greater concentration: There are 164 same-sex couples in Provincetown, Mass., for every 1,000 households, 140 in Wilton Manors, Fla., and 115 in Palm Springs, Calif.

text: 1990's Little Kidnappers was a remake of the 1954 British film of the same name. Two Canadian orphans (Leo Wheatley and Charles Miller) are starved for affection. Their cantankerous, self-absorbed grandfather (Charlton Heston) pays very little attention to them. The boys "borrow" a baby so they can raise it as their very own, while the real parents--and the police--scour the countryside in search of the missing infant. This location-filmed version of The Little Kidnappers premiered over the Disney cable channel on August 17, 1990. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Spencer County Sheriff's department discovered a basement full of marijuana plants last Tuesday night near Mt. Eden – 165 plants with an estimated street value of $165,000.
Deputy Gordon Miles, acting on a tip from a confidential informant, obtained a search warrant early in the day to investigate reports of illegal activity at 2375 Hickory Ridge Road. What he and other officers found that night was an elaborate greenhouse for cloning and growing pot.
The issue of merging city and county governments is one that has not been reported on in this paper for some time – mainly because nothing new has happened.
Heather Helton, Katherine Luckett, and Helisha Smith, members of the Spencer County Chapter of the Family, Career, Community Leaders of America, attended the FCCLA State Leadership Training in Hardinsburg recently. While in attendance Helton and Luckett were trained in their duties as regional officers. Smith conducted training sessions as a state FCCLA officer. The students participated in many leadership activities and team building activities while at the training.

And for friends with whom you've lost touch since, say, the Muhammad Ali was Cassius Clay, or the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Jackson Browne is right–Time does steal us blind.
And quietly.

Kentucky Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Co. again received A.M. Best Co.'s superior rating for its financial strength.
A.M. Best graded the insurance company at A+ for the fifth consecutive year for 2008 performance, despite declines in investment income because of weak economic conditions and $140 million in underwriting losses resulting from record payouts of $227.4 million to policyholders from damages during a year of severe winter, summer and fall storms.
Kentucky Farm Bureau ended 2008 with more than 1.2 million policies in force and $1.6 billion in assets.

260.xx drivers break Java2D OpenGL pipeline

Re: 260.xx drivers break Java2D OpenGL pipeline
I have found a reliable way to reproduce the X server crash.
I downloaded the source for OpenJDK 6 and found that whenever -Dsun.java2d.opengl=true, java creates at least one pbuffer at startup in jdk/src/solaris/native/sun/java2d/opengl/GLXGraphicsConfig.c in the GLXGC_InitScratchPbuffer function. If -Dsun.java2d.opengl.fbobject=false, java will create additional pbuffers for rendering all 2D widgets.
After some experiments I have come to the conclusion that if a program has an existing pbuffer created with glXCreatePbuffer and the program exits while the pbuffer exists, there is a chance the X server will crash with the segmentation fault in my original post.
I made a small C program to demonstrate this and am attaching it. This C program creates a pbuffer with the same attributes Java uses in GLXGC_InitScratchPbuffer.
To reproduce the crash do the following:
1. Extract crash-test-program.zip.
2. Compile offscreen-gl.c (gcc -Wall offscreen-gl.c -lX11 -lGL -o offscreen-gl)
3. Run run_offscreen_gl.sh This script runs offscreen-gl, sleeps for 1 second, then kills it. It does this in a forever loop.
With the 260.19.06 and 260.19.12 drivers, running run_offscreen_gl.sh will eventually cause X to crash with the same segmentation fault that was in my original post. It varies how many iterations of running offscreen-gl this takes - sometimes X crashes the first time offscreen-gl is killed, sometimes it takes several iterations.
I tried this program with version 173.14.28 of the drivers also - I let it run for about 30 minutes with no X server crashes.

My system is up to date with the latest packages and I'm using an Nvidia Geforce 9300 GPU. I know this is a beta release so obviously glitches are bound to happen, but it would be nice if somebody has a solution to this problem. Thanks in advance. (Hardware)

The National Weather Service has issued a severe weather warning for the central Kentucky that includes heavy rain, lightning, significant wind, hail and possible tornados. This storm is expected to be its strongest between 4:00 and 8:00 p.m. In anticipation of this weather and the safety of all students and employees, the University of Kentucky is releasing all employees, except essential personnel, and canceling all classes and activities as of 3:00 p.m. for the remainder of the evening.

12:50 PM - Lexington Mayor Gray encourages businesses to allow employees to go home early
(press release)
Current radar information indicates the greatest potential for severe weather today is between 4 and 8 PM.
Mayor Jim Gray is encouraging local businesses to allow their employees to go home early. City employees who are not involved in emergency response will be allowed to leave their offices at 2 PM, Gray said. He said one reason he's asking businesses to act is because local schools are releasing students early. "We want to get everyone home safely and to avoid traffic back-ups," Gray said.
The Mayor also asked citizens to secure all outdoor trash containers, which often blow into the street and cause damage during high winds.
Citizens are also encouraged to:
Limit travel this afternoon and evening.
Stay tuned to a local television and/or radio station for the latest weather information.
In the event of damaging winds, get inside and move to a basement or an interior closet, away from windows. Public employees are on alert in the Division of Emergency Management, Code Enforcement, Police, Streets and Roads, Fire and Emergency Services, the Health Department and in the Property Valuation Administrator's Office. Back-up crews are on stand-by.
12:39 PM - Kentucky Emergency Management: "Potentially Dangerous Situation"
Kentucky Emergency Management officials are stressing that Friday's storms present a potentially dangerous situation and residents should have plans in place should severe weather strike.
John Hetzel with KEM says Lexington could see the full impact of the storms between 4 PM and 8 PM, but conditions are right for severe weather to arise at any time. A threat exists for upper level tornados, which could touch down with less warning. Hetzel says state cabinets have been notified and emergency services are ready to respond.

10:41 AM - NWS Predicts Moderate Risk for Severe Storms Across KY
LOUISVILLE, Ky. Forecasters warned that a large section of Kentucky looked to be at risk of severe storms later Friday that could bring tornadoes.
The National Weather Service said there was a moderate risk of severe storms across all of Kentucky, as well as for most of Tennessee and portions of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia. But it says the highest risk stretches across portions of central and western Kentucky and northern Tennessee.
The weather system features abundant Gulf moisture, abnormally warm temperatures and an approaching cold front that will trigger the storms.
Forecasters say the most likely target for the severe weather could be along the Interstate 65 corridor in west-central Kentucky during the early afternoon. The threat will move east into the Bluegrass region of Kentucky in the late afternoon. Forecasters say storms will be capable of producing hail, damaging winds and tornadoes.
Gov. Steve Beshear warned Kentuckians to be prepared for the next round of storms, just two days after tornadoes raked the commonwealth. Beshear's office said the most significant damage from Wednesday's storms appeared to be in Elizabethtown and Hodgenville. No deaths were attributed to the storms in Kentucky but there were several injuries.
Beshear said the state's emergency management officials will closely monitor any outbreak of severe weather Friday and will remain in close contact with local officials.
Additionally, a flash flood watch will be in effect from Friday afternoon through Friday night for eastern Kentucky counties south of Interstate 64.

I don't think so, since I was a kid I always thought people improve with time and learn from their adversaries, true this is what happened so far the arab world and specifically the Pals and the Hezbullah has improved a lot and now the sky is the limit. the ratio of damage and destruction caused was 0:100 now it is maybe 30:100 , 30 means limited if this and I am sure goes in the next round to 50 those who came to Israel under the 0:100 will panic and leave, because in their heart of hearts they know they do not belong. All Israilis should understand that the time has passed when the world is duped into thinking that they are the victims, (the Americans will still be paid to think that of course until one day they will face the harsh reality themselves)..The future belong to the Pals regardless of the outcome of the outcome of the so called peace process which is designed to give Israel legitimasy. In the mean time while your Government is dragging its feet your adverseries will advance enough to stand up and challange the Israeli this inhuman practices. My adviose to all Israilis in the light of the honesty and integrity displayed by the Pal leaders and people Please come up wioth a lasting peace bases on truth and human dignity,most the Pals don't want anybody to leave but they definately want their human rights and dignity before it is too late for Israel to talk peace.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and Kansas City Chiefs slugged and sloshed their way through the rain and slick conditions Monday night in Pittsburgh at Heinz Field, battling the elements and each other.The Steelers were just a little better, overcoming an injury to quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and sloppy play to escape with a 16-13 overtime win over the Chiefs.The Hero of the Game is awarded to Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Lawrence Timmons for picking off Kansas City quarterback Matt Cassel in overtime at the KC 28 yard line that set up the game-winning field goal.On a night when the Pittsburgh offense was out of sync, especially after Big Ben went down with an injury, and the Steelers struggling to eek out a win to keep pace in the AFC North, Timmons' interception was the play of the game.A loss to the Chiefs would have been demoralizing, and Lawrence Timmons made the key play at the right time to propel the Steelers into a big showdown next week with their rivals, the Baltimore Raven...

Bike parade fuses love for creativity with cycling
What began as an art project blossomed on May 5 into a communitywide celebration of bikes.
The first ever Art Bike Parade at the Memphis College of Art drew an ample crowd of both art and bike lovers. Eighteen riders took their dressed-up bicycles for a spin in a parade route past the main campus. Some riders wore costumes and others covered their bikes with bright flowers and green foliage.
Aimee Easter, a senior painting student at the Memphis College of Art, organized the parade as part of a school project. But through social media and word of mouth, it became a small bicycle festival of sorts. Avid cyclists, artists and casual riders were all part of Easter's target audience.
"I wanted to bring people together who aren't so hardcore about biking, but are still excited about it," said Easter, a Minneapolis native whose bike was once her primary means of transportation.
"I've lived here for a couple of years and I've sort of abandoned biking in a way. It's (Memphis is) becoming a very bike-friendly city and it's exciting what's happening, but I hadn't really been biking very much. I wanted to get excited about it again."
As the city begins to embrace bike culture and drum up more interest, people are taking notice.
MCA faculty member Jill Wissmiller participated in the parade. Her bike was decorated with white paper snowflakes to contrast with the balmy spring weather. Wissmiller describes herself as a "pretty casual" cyclist who is becoming more interested in bike riding.
"Now that we're getting more bike lanes, I'm more open to it," said Wissmiller.
Another participant, Jessica Marrs, turned her bike into an elaborate purple and gold dragon, crafted from cardboard, wire hangers and magazine pages. Marrs didn't think of herself as a cyclist though, just someone who wanted to be a part of the bike parade.
Cara Sievers, the director of college communications at MCA said, "because Memphis College of Art is a resident of Overton Park and this beautiful green space we have in the middle of our city, it's just great to take advantage of that walking-biking culture."
Wissmiller noticed many of the parade participants and spectators were from the community at large. She added that Easter is "definitely very pro-bike, pro-bicycling and she generated most of her own kind of excitement for it."

Why Read This ReportMoms, as influential household decision-makers, have always been desirable targets for many advertisers. Yet, they're not that easy to reach. They do favor television in their spare time but also tend to demonstrate rather complex media behaviors. To engage with this key target group, marketing leaders should use digital media — and especially social media — to create a continuous consumer purchasing journey, from awareness to purchase.

The Indian Censor Board has issued Nikhil Advani's D-Day a U/A certificate after suggesting minor cuts. The decision was passed following a meeting with the Censor Board and the Revision Committee.?
Slated for a July 19th release D-Day is a espionage thriller about four R&AW officials � Wali Khan (Irrfan), Rudra Pratap Singh (Arjun Rampal), Zoya Rehman (Huma Qureshi) and Aslam (Akash Dahiya) who are sent in to Pakistan by the Indian Government to capture India's Most Wanted Terrorist (Rishi Kapoor).?
Director Nikhil Advani is very pleased with the Censor Board's decision. "The Censor Board suggested minor cuts that do not disturb the sanctity of the film. The cuts primarily tone down certain violent portions of the film keeping in mind younger audiences. That was something that the Censor Board was particularly keen on and given that we specifically want to take this movie to the younger generation we were more than happy to accommodate the cuts. Overall, I'm very happy with the Censor Board's decision." says Advani
Produced by DAR Motion Pictures and Emmay Entertainment, and co-produced by Essel Vision Productions, D-Day features Rishi Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Arjun Rampal, Huma Qureshi, Shruti Haasan, Akash Dahiya, Nassar, Chandan Roy Sanyal and Sree Swara, amongst others.

Ralph Alpher, the "forgotten father of the Big Bang" whose calculations provided the theoretical underpinning of the theory but were ignored when it came time to pass out Nobel Prizes, died Sunday at an acute care facility in Austin, Texas.
He was 86 and had been in failing health since he fell and broke a hip in February.
Alpher's calculations supporting the Big Bang and showing how to prove its existence attracted a small flurry of interest, but fell by the wayside in a community that was committed to steady-state.
When experimental proof finally came two decades later, his contributions were overlooked in favor of those from theoreticians who had, in essence, simply repeated his work.
"It's kind of sad and, I think, unfair," physics Nobel laureate Arno Penzias said in a 1999 interview. "This poor guy has been eating himself up for 50 years. You do something great and don't get credit for it -- that shouldn't happen in a fair world. Most of the stuff we now know about the universe stems from their calculations."
It was only many years later that Alpher's contributions began to be acknowledged. In the highly regarded 1993 book, "The First Three Minutes," physics Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg described Alpher's work as "the first thoroughly modern analysis of the early history of the universe."
That recognition peaked last month, when Alpher was awarded a National Medal of Science by President Bush in a ceremony honoring recipients for 2005 and 2006. The award was accepted by Alpher's son Victor because Alpher was too ill to travel for the ceremony.
"This is yet more recognition after the miscarriage of scientific justice," said mechanical engineer Philip G. Kosky, a colleague of Alpher at General Electric and Union College. "His work is the window on the cosmos and to not win the Nobel is truly one of the great black marks on the Nobel committee."
In 1946, Alpher had just finished the research for his original doctoral thesis at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., when his mentor George Gamow showed him an article in a Russian physics journal reporting the same results.
Forced to start over, Alpher accepted a suggestion from Gamow that he study the formation of elements in the early universe, a concept known as primordial synthesis. His goal was to predict the concentrations of various elements in the universe if the Big Bang had occurred.
His calculations showed that immediately after the initial explosion, the universe was filled with radiation and other primitive matter that Alpher dubbed "ylem," a term meaning roughly "what was there before everything."
The ylem decayed to produce protons, electrons, neutrons and other particles, which eventually combined to produce the elements. Alpher calculated that it would form 10 atoms of hydrogen for every one atom of helium, precisely the ratio observed by astronomers.
Other researchers later successfully predicted the concentrations of other elements.
When it came time to publish Alpher's thesis results in the journal Physical Review, Gamow -- a former colonel in the Red army with a puckish sense of humor -- proposed adding the name of eminent physicist Hans Bethe as a coauthor. The authors thus became Alpher, Bethe and Gamow, a play on the first letters of the Greek alphabet and a popular name for a theory that dealt with the beginning of the universe.
Unfortunately, with two such distinguished physicists listed as coauthors, other scientists incorrectly assumed that Alpher had made only a small contribution to the research.
Nonetheless, the paper was published shortly before Alpher was scheduled to defend his thesis and an unprecedented 300 people -- as well as several newspaper reporters -- showed up for the defense.
Asked how long the primordial nucleosynthesis would have taken, Alpher replied 300 seconds, and a story in the next day's Washington Post was headlined: "World Began in 5 Minutes, New Theory."
Alpher quickly followed up with a second paper, written with Robert Herman of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, predicting that the radiation from the original explosion was still present in the universe, having cooled to a temperature of about 5 degrees Celsius above absolute zero, or about 450 degrees Fahrenheit below zero.

Published in Company Comment on 24 July 2013
Compass Group plc (LON: CPG) reports higher sales and rising margins.
The shares of Compass (LSE: CPG) climbed 11p to 887p during early trade this morning after the catering services group said it had delivered "another good performance" during its third quarter.
The FTSE 100 member claimed organic revenue growth during April, May and June had been 4% adjusted for Easter and other holidays, and was 5.2% on a stautory reported basis.
Compass added that operating margins had been lifted by 20 basis points during the quarter.
Today's statement revealed mixed geographical progress, with underlying sales up 8% in North America, down 3% in Europe and Japan, and up 10% in emerging markets such as Turkey and Brazil.
The statement also revealed £80m had been spent on acquisitions and £224m had been spent on share buybacks during the first nine months of the group's financial year.
Looking ahead, Compass described its overall expectations for the full year as "positive and unchanged" and that it was "very optimistic about the structural growth potential" of its markets for the long term.
Prior to today, City boffins were predicting Compass would improve its earnings by 10% to 47p per share for the current year. The dividend was expected to be lifted 11% to 23.7p per share.
Following this morning's price gain, the shares could therefore trade at a potential 19 times forecast profits and yield a possible 2.7%.
Of course, whether that valuation and today's trading statement combine to make the shares of Compass a 'buy' remains something only you can decide.
However, if you already own Compass shares and are seeking an alternative buying opportunity, the Fool's top analysts have named one company they believe will generate superior long-term capital growth…
…and such is their conviction, they have declared the share "The Fool's Top Growth Stock For 2013".

Even if the New England Patriots had lost this game to the New Orleans Saints, they had still demonstrated they could go toe-to-toe with an elite NFL team. Thanks to Tom Brady and Kenbrell Thompkins, New England didn't have to settle for a mere moral victory.
Patriots Offense Disappears, Brady Loses TD Pass Streak In Loss To Bengals
When you hang by a thread long enough, eventually that thread will break. That's what happened to the previously undefeated New England Patriots Sunday in a 13-6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

44 year old woman | New Brunswick, NJ, USA | Seeking men 37-45 within 50 miles
I make a mean pumpkin cheesecake! Haven't met someone yet that doesn't like it. And if someone doesn't like me, they will after they try it.
There is so much out there still left to experience, new foods to taste, new places to explore, exciting things to learn - I'm looking for someone that shares that passion. Hopefully that first meeting can grow into a strong and loyal friendship, and then we can take it from there. I work long and hard at my job - I love what I do, it's challenging, it's different every single day, and I'm good at it. But it's not all that I do. I love going to the gym. I workout 4-5 times a week and box, swim, spin, whatever they offer. I've even done capoeira - Brazilian Fight Dancing, now that was fun! I am a single mother, my grown son still lives at home, but I do not cater to him. I'm happy and in a good place in my life right now, and would like to share it with someone. I don't want to smother you, and I don't want you to smother me, but I want to learn about new things and places from you and maybe I even have a new trick or two to show you. I'm looking for someone that shares that same drive - for going out (and I don't mean clubbing and getting trashed), I mean adventuring - how about an Irish Pub for an authentic Irish breakfast, a beer, and then watch some soccer? Or the TriBeCa film festival, have you been? How about a road trip to see the monuments in DC and then stop for crab legs at the Baltimore Inner Harbor. And, the same drive for working hard and being proud at doing a good job. The drive to enjoy life, laugh, be a good friend, mother, employee - whoever you are - and fall in love. I'm not looking for hookups, I'm looking for the real thing. Are you funny, have a free spirit, open minded, intelligent, witty, can you laugh and be silly, but know when it's time to get serious and down to business, then nice to meet you.... Players, get to steppin'.

I have one cat, all black, he's not bad luck, but he's a brat and has anxiety. He was a rescue cat, so no matter how badly he behaves, I won't abandon him again.
Asbury Park, NJ without a doubt, the fire pit in my sister's backyard, and my friend's house for an authentic Cuban meal.

#1 - El Pico coffee, every day. My Kindle. Getting up early to leave on a trip. Being silly and laughing till my cheeks hurt. Fresh air - whether the back yard or the beach. And I have to admit TV - have you seen Shameless? Whoa, is all i can say.
Always something different - last month Wisen y Yandel concert, last week museum in NYC, next weekend the Opera (don't laugh, it's not that bad), i just bought myself a set of Bongos and am teaching myself how to play. Now that's fun!
Promise Me by Harlan Coben - i like suspense mystery drama novels.

FLORHAM PARK, NJ - MAY 02: Head coach Rex Ryan of the New York Jets speaks to the media during minicamp on May 2, 2009 at the Atlantic Health Jets Training Center in Florham Park, New Jersey. (Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images)
The New York Jets ended a disappointing season with a 28-9 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. While Rex Ryan is undoubtedly upset with the way his team performed this year, he has to be relieved that he no longer has to deal with arguably the ugliest quarterback situation in the NFL. When the Jets acquired Tim Tebow, Ryan warned opponents that they had better be prepared to face both Tebow and Mark Sanchez. It didn't exactly work out that way, and Ryan all but admitted on Sunday that he had no confidence in Tebow. "No, I made the decision. It was my decision to stay with Sanchez," Ryan said when asked if he considered starting Tebow against Buffalo. "I was the only one who made that decision. It's on me, and obviously it didn't work out the way I wanted it to. "If I thought Tebow would have helped us win the game playing quarterback or defensive tackle. I would have played him." Simply put, he didn't think Tebow would have improved New York's chances. And aside from a few Wildcat snaps here and there throughout the first 15 games of the season, he clearly didn't think he could have helped the Jets at any point. With the way things had gone all season, he probably didn't think Sanchez could help the team, either. If he did, he wouldn't be so adamant about changes being made in the upcoming offseason.

Henry the kitten blinked a little while curled up in a pink blanket in the recovery room Tuesday morning at the Edmonton Humane Society. The society's "warrior cat" was sleepy after having his leg amputated. "It went really well," society volunteer co-ordinator Kolbi Kukurba said that afternoon. "He's just waking up."
Great travel photos from around the world
It's hard to imagine that any country that was "discovered" and then colonized back in 1640 could somehow find itself falling off the beaten track, but...
It's an island that gave the world shorts, a triangle and a national drink locals call a rum sizzle.
It covers only a small patch of the planet but with more than 7,000 islands, the Caribbean is a potpourri of languages, cultures and activities.

Texas House of Representatives, Rep. Ryan Guillen
Spring 2014 Site Review
Position: Intern
Student: Sociology Junior
My internship is located in the heart of downtown Austin. The location is perfectly in between downtown and UT. If you haven't figured out the location already, it is the Texas State Capitol. A landmark of Texas and where the Texas Government resides. My job title is as an unpaid intern. I work with about ten other interns. Most of the interns there are either in college or have just graduated from college.
I normally go into work at around 8 A.M by walking from west campus to the Capitol. It's about a 15-20 minute walk, but worth it most days to see the sunrise on downtown Austin. The best part about going to work would have to be the badge all employees of the Capitol receive. Reason being because while the entire tourist wait at the security checkpoint for minutes, I just swipe my card against the machine, which takes five seconds max. Pretty cool feeling every time I swipe my card. I take the elevator to the fourth floor since what is where my office is located. When I get to the office everyone welcomes you and you being work at your computer desk. Now for the next four to six hours I will be working on projects assigned to me by my supervisor.
My supervisor and I have a relationship like an apprenticeship. Literally, all of my tasks and assignments are emulated off this person since they have offered me so much help. If I ever have a question he does not hesitant to help me, now that is a great person. Some of these tasks include social media, legislative work, and bill proposals, going to USPS store, or even going to important meetings in downtown Austin at really nice hotels like The Hilton. While working, I also get the chance to interact with my co-workers and it is a nice way of networking and building relationships. Work will normally end at around 1 or 2 in the afternoon on which I say my goodbyes and make my back to campus. While on my walk back to campus I will reflect on what I learned and take all the positives to make sure I look forward to heading into work the next day.
Summer 2012 Site Review
Position: Legislative Intern
Student: Government Senior
Texas State Representative Ryan Guillen's unpaid legislative internship accepts undergraduate and graduate students to work in the Representative's capitol office in downtown Austin for 20 hours per week. A Democrat from Rio Grande City, the Representative serves a large district in South Texas and chairs the House's Culture, Recreation, and Tourism Committee. Interns assist with a variety of research and communication tasks, and they learn about state-level policymaking by helping the office outline its legislative priorities.
Each intern is assigned an area of primary responsibility, such as casework or legislative research, but experiences all of the office's functions. Each day's agenda is unique. I specialize in communications and begin most mornings by researching news in the district so that I can report on events that affect constituents to the communications director. I then take some time to prepare and mail condolence cards to relatives of those who recently passed away in the district. Checking my email for assignments and replies on requests for information from state agencies, I usually move on to record recent emails and letters to the Representative into a database and draft responses. I may then research an event that the Representative is planning to attend or help manage his social media presence. I help draft letters of support for local governments and nonprofits that enter grant competitions, and I occasionally assist with casework by speaking with constituents about their problems with government and coordinating with state agencies and congressional representatives to find solutions. The Representative often calls in to request research on state laws and services, and all of the interns in the office collaborate to compile reports that answer his questions.
Spring 2011 Site ReviewPosition: Capitol Legislative Intern
Student: Middle Eastern Studies Senior
Being an intern at the Texas State Capitol during the 82nd Legislature was an exciting time. Days are spent in a hurry to meet deadlines, meet and greet with constituents and lobbyists, and keeping up with the most recent order of business. Everyone staffed at the Capitol are young in age which makes it easier to communicate to your colleagues and also it makes for a fun work environment.
Working as an intern for House Representative Ryan Guillen (D), I came into the office three days a week for five hours each of those days. Guillen's staff was pretty flexible on hours though and understood if I had to miss a few hours to meet with a teacher or to do extra studying. This helped take the stress off having being in school fulltime and interning for free.
Task assignments at the Capitol are redundant. A typical task would be to gather materials together to make multiple bill folders for the same bill so that it can go to each Committee member for a bill to be heard. This requires the intern to make several copies a day. Also the organizational system at the Capitol is lacking, so several hours a day interns are asked to make/update spreadsheets as an organizational tool but a week later that same spreadsheet is dropped and you are asked to create a new one each week. There is a lot of inputting and updating the office files and client/constituent information. All in all, the tasks given to interns at the Capitol is mindless busy work but you get the occasional free lunch from lobbyists.
Spring 2010 Site ReviewPosition: Legislative Intern
Student: Asian Cultures & Languages/Government Junior
In Spring 2010, I worked at the Office of State Representative Ryan Guillen. My office was located in the Capitol and my responsibilities included answering phone calls, working on constituent casework, and attending meetings and conferences. The Texas State Representatives are rarely in their Capitol offices so my office was mainly run by his Chiefs of Staff. I worked alongside 8 other interns and he allowed us to work on the topics that interested us the most.
During my first two weeks of work, I attended the Texas Business Association conference where I learned a lot about the education system of Texas and how businesses take an active role in the system. I was within 5 feet of Texas Governor Rick Perry who gave the closing speech at the conference. By being a representative of my office for this conference, I felt like I learned a lot about the way state offices function. I took notes at the conferences and reported back to my office to see what plans the business men and women have in mind for the upcoming legislative session in 2011. Based off of this information, state officials work toward creating laws that align with that the bigger goal for Texas is.
My office was really flexible with my class schedule which helped a lot. I worked all 5 days of the week during mainly in the afternoons. They were flexible enough to give me days off when I had Indian Students Association events. I went into work around 1 or 2 and checked my email. The Chiefs of Staff would then assign us something to work on. Since I worked while the legislative session was not in session there wasn't as many things going on. There was a lot of down time at times but when I worked on a task, I was rather focused and occupied.
Overall, my experiences at the office were really helpful for the future. I learned how to work with my colleagues and proper office etiquette. Both are valuable skills that I can take from my internship and apply them to any future internship or jobs.
