If there's anyone who knows the mind of Bill Belichick and what it's capable of, that person is Bill Parcells. In Bill Belichick's 37 years of coaching, 15 of them were spent under the Tuna. So when Parcells speaks about the Patriots, and what Belichick is capable of doing with them, people listen.
In an interesting piece by WEEI's Chris Price, Parcells says he actually likes this year's team -- despite its flaws -- better than the one that went to the Super Bowl last season.
I do communicate with Bill sometimes during the year usually via text, occasionally, itll be a phone call, Parcells told Price. I told him that I thought his team was a better team this year than it was last year, and I really believe that. I really think that. I know they went to the Super Bowl last year, but I believe theyre better now than they were in 2011. Football is a very unusual game a bounce here or there can affect them, and I think thats ultimately what happened to them last year.
But this year, they are certainly one of the top contenders in the AFC theyre a team that I dont think a lot of teams would look forward to playing late in the season and into the playoffs. You see things differently from a coaching perspective, and I think people need to realize that.
What about the secondary, you ask? Well, Parcells has his concerns, too. But he knows the failures of the Patriots pass defense aren't solely the fault of the secondary.
I think you can talk about the pass defense, but at the same time, you need to also talk about the pass rush, Parcells said. I know Bill addressed that this past season with the addition of a few guys like Chandler Jones, but I think they could use another guy coming off that edge. They could use another pressure player off the corner.
But when it comes down to it, the Patriots have Belichick, and in Parcells' eyes, there may be no better coach for the job of correcting whatever ails this already talented Patriots team.
Bill knows what the problems are, and hes better than just about anyone when it comes to identifying the problems and going about trying to fix it and adjust it, Parcells said. With the wide-open offenses, the problems with pass defense are everywhere. Its just a matter of making the adjustments and seeing who can play best late in the season, and Im confident that Bill will have them headed in the right direction.

Brandon Jennings Wanted to Fight Rajon Rondo in Bucks' Win Over Celtics Friday, But Didn't Want to Incur Fine

Brandon Jennings and Rajon Rondo likely won't be exchanging Christmas presents anytime soon, but they were exchanging unpleasentries on Friday night, which almost led to a fight. The Bucks' point guard said he almost fought Rondo, but had second thoughts because of the fines he would incur. Rondo bumped Jennings during the first quarter, and the two had some words. "It was the first quarter," Jennings told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal. "I thought at one point we were going to start fighting, but nobody wants to give up that money." It was wise for Jennings to keep calm. The Bucks wound up winning 99-94 over the Celtics. It was Milwaukee's third win over Boston this season. Jennings contributed with 12 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists. "I just tried not to get caught up in it," Jennings said. "He's going to talk mess. That's who Rondo is as a point guard. "The main thing is, you've just got to keep going at him. I knew I wasn't 100 percent tonight so why not just go out there and try to get a triple-double." Jennings didn't accomplish the triple-double, but he did help hold Rondo to just six points, 11 assists and five rebounds. And he didn't get any money taken out of his paycheck for exchanging blows.

Cesar is a photographer and a producer of stereoscopic 3D content as well as an established commercial photographer in 2D. He most known as being one of the first 'Digital 3D' fashion photographer worldwide using the emerging 3D technology. His first 3D Portfolio Reel also was used as demo content for the premiere of YouTube in 3D at CES 2009 in Las Vegas and his 3D works were also featured here on the blog multiple times.

We escaped last weekend to Missoula, Mont. We stopped somewhere in Idaho for coffee. The Oct. 17 edition of the Idaho County Free Press was open on the counter to this amazing obituary.
Grangeville, Idaho
"My name is Sonia Todd and I died of cancer at the age of 38. I decided to write my own obituary because they are usually written in ways I just don't care for. Either family or friends gather together and list every minor accomplishment from cradle to grave, or they create one poetic last stanza ... so glowing one would think the deceased had been the living embodiment of a deity.
"Let's face it, I never really accomplished anything of note. Other than giving birth to my two wonderful, lovable, witty and amazing sons (James and Jason), marrying my gracious, understanding and precious husband (Brian), and accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as my personal savior, I have done nothing that requires obit space I have to shell out money for.
"I also didn't want my friends sitting around writing glowing reports which we know would be filled with fish tales, half-truths, impossible scenarios, and outright lies.
"I just tried to do the best I could. Sometimes I succeeded, most of the time I failed, but I tried. For all my crazy comments, jokes, and complaints, I really did love people.
"... My life was not perfect ... I would totally scrap ages 16-20. Okay, 14-22. I think that would eradicate most of my fashion disasters and hair missteps from the 80s. But mostly, I enjoyed life.
"Besides, there are some benefits to dying youngish: I still owe on my student loans; the joke's on them ...I'm not paying.
"Some folks told me that writing my own obituary was morbid, but I get to thank the people who helped me along the way. I was blessed beyond measure by knowing all of you. That is what made my life worthwhile.
"If you think of me and would like to do something in my memory, volunteer at a school, church, or library, take kids out for ice cream and talk to them about their dreams, forgive someone who doesn't deserve it. "
After four days of hiking in the mountains around Missoula and nights visiting friends, it's still, primarily, this obituary with its originality, truthfulness, lucidity, humor, concern for others and ideal of forgiveness that remains the greatest boon from our trip.

The game based on popular tv series "Prison Break". It's about a prisoner which have to escape from prison called "Forest Valley" because it is on a big valley near Chicago. There is only one way to escape - small road with a lot of guards and police. But firstly you have to prepare to this escape. If we don't want to do missions, just avoid them. We can go to mess-hall and take a fork. Then we can go to the yard and fight with some prisoners. When the guards catch us we will go to isolation wards. In "Forest Valley" everything is possible!
The newest version of Forest Valley is now available for everyone.
Hello Everyone, In my first news I want give you a few links which can show you more informations about game. Let's check this :)

Maria Kanellis to Lucha Underground
Officials in Lucha Underground know that they need to pick up some recognizable faces if they want to reach the numbers that they were shooting for. Their latest target appears to be Maria Kanellis, who would also bring along her husband Mike Bennett. The couple recently worked for ROH but are said to be free agents right now because management is having some financial issues. They are also being heavily recruited by other wrestling promotions.

Word of the Day: Atrabilious
(adj.); gloomy, morose, or morbid; bad-tempered, irritable; from the Latin agra bili(s) ("black bile")
"Caleb stopped, massaged, then stopped again, as though he felt something under the skin. 'Too big to be a morphine pump,' he said cheerfully. At 32 years old, fresh-faced and boyishly handsome, he looks less like an undertaker than like the member of an a cappella group."
—Eric Puchner, from "Death Becomes Him"
When we think about places that house the dead—funeral homes, cemeteries, mortuaries and the like—atrabilious is a fitting term to describe the kind of aura surrounding them....more

Facebook can serve a lot of purposes: it can act as a constant way to read about your friends and and to update them on your life; users can employ it as a photo album to broadcast their images to people all over their network; it can serve as a means to gather your favorite links for others to see, and of course, it can be used to meet new people and learn lots about them right away and from the comfort of your computer. In fact, for many, Facebook is like a catalog of romantically-eligible students in their area, that they can browse through in their pajamas, and then send short, informal messages to if they're interested. It's a great way to connect without having to deal with rejection or awkwardness (at least initially), and since so many people use facebook, most college students think nothing of receiving a message from a fellow student that they have never met. To put it glibly, Facebook is huge, and its members have recently been referred to as a "fleet." In order to really get this idea across, here are a few fast facts about Facebook and its members: There are currently more than one BILLION photos on the site...considering there is only a few more than 6 billion people on the earth, that's a pretty phenomenal statistic. Facebook is a bigger photo sharing site than Flickr, a web 2.0 site that was created exclusively for that purpose. To handle the incredible degree of data transfer that is constantly occuring through Facebook, administrators need to utilize 2 terabytes of RAM across many Memcache servers. Facebook handles 600 million searches each and every month using a search index of 200-gigabytes and featuring real time updates. So now that you know a little bit about the scope of Facebook, how can you learn more and get involved? It's simple, and the first thing you need to do is register, and get yourself involved in a few networks and groups. How is Facebook Organized? Facebook's organization is in terms of networks, and these networks are always pre-set to a specific school, organization, or region. This is why your email address and home town are important input when you register. When you sign up for Facebook, you can immediately get plugged into the networks that are meaningful to you. You'll be in constant contact not only with your school friends and coworkers, but also with anyone else that might be in your hometown. This way, you can maintain friendships even after you leave college or your place of work, but at the same time, you can make new friends in your area. Facebook is all about getting to know new people that you are likely to come in contact with, as well as getting to know the people that you interact with every day a little bit better. For this reason, although you will be able to search for any registered Facebook member, you will only be able to view profiles of the people in your network. These searches will not be divulged to the search-ee, and likewise, if people search for you, you will not be notified by an administrator. The only way to find out someone was on your site is if they leave a message. However, this is not neglectful on the part of facebook, but rather serves as a measure to prevent an enormous amount of probably needless information coming to you about how which people viewed your page. How Do I Become A Member? To join Facebook these days, all you need is a valid email address. If you want to be able to interact with people from your university or workplace, register with the appropriate email account for automatic connections. In addition to meeting with coworkers and classmates, you can also register for a regional network so that you can meet people in your area who are also Facebook members. This is particularly a great idea if you recently moved to a new area and you want to meet new people and/or get involved with the community. When you register, note that you will need to choose a user name that includes at least your first name and one letter from your last name. Moreover, profanity is not allowed, and you may not use celebrity names. Making your Profile: Once you register, you will be prompted to make a profile. This is your lifeblood as a facebook member. In it, you will detail the schools you've attended, the history of where you've worked, your interests and hobbies, your favorite sites, links, videos, etc, as well as your photo and links to your photo albums. On your profile, you can also link to your blogspot, xanga, or myspace page, so that readers who are interested in you can learn even more about how you tick. Another cool feature about your profile and your friends profiles are your photos and photo albums. Specifically, if you like a photo that a friend has listed you can actually order your own prints of the photo directly through Facebook through My Photoshop. You will also have an area on your profile called your "wall." Your Facebook friends can leave messages on your wall, and you can review and respond to these messages. Anyone else who views your profile will see these messages as well, and in this way, you can have a conversation, or get to know more about the people that someone is already friends with. Your Personal Photo Album On your Facebook page, you can also upload an unlimited number of photo albums, as well as notes, commentary, or even full length stories for each photo. You can further make your facebook page into a personal commentary by linking your external blog to your facebook page. This way, anyone that comes across your facebook page will have easy exposure to your blog. This inter-linking is a great way to generate traffic if you're trying to get more people to see your blog. The FaceBook News Feed Once you're a member, Facebook will keep you in the loop! It is their mission to keep people connected, and everything about facebook is geared toward that. For instance, each time you log in, you'll be brought to your homepage where you'll have access to the latest posts and addendums from your friends' profiles using the "Facebook News Feed." Although this feature sounds like you'd be receiving headlines, from around the nation, facebook is much more of a microcosm than that. Instead, you'll receive "news" of what your friends have recently reported to their profiles. In fact, you'll get to know every single update they may have made to their profiles in the recent past, down to the minutae of whether, for instance, they recently updated their favorite book list. In addition, you'll be able to see the newest photos your friends have added and see if they have created any new and interesting groups, or if they have joined any existing groups. This theme of keeping tabs with the people you regularly interact with is the key to Facebook—and it has come under fire of late, because some users just don't want to know that much about their friends—it's like a barrage of information with every click. Alternatively, some users don't want their friends and acquaintances, or worse, their coworkers or boss, to know quite so many things about them—some of which may be incriminating or open the possibility of fraud or blackmail. For these reasons, the Facebook creators have modified their method of exposure control, which you can read more about in the following section, "Will Everyone See My Facebook Page?". Although some say that Facebook takes the personal aspect out of friendships, for busy college students, it really is key to keeping in touch with your friends with rapid updates according to your own schedule. And although there are some facebook dissenters, it's amazing success (see stats below) is just so phenomenal, that it's obvious people in general are happy it's available. Will Everyone See My Facebook Page? And other privacy issues: This decision is yours to make. You have the control over whether you make your page completely open to all readers, or if you restrict access to confirmed members. Facebook has a complete arsenal of privacy settings to make sure that you feel comfortable with the information you post on your page. Once you register to become a Facebook member, you will be able to navigate to your privacy control panel where you can change your privacy settings in general, or even for specific photos, notes, profile subsections and more. This way, if you add a picture that is particularly risqué, you can block most viewers from seeing it, but still allow most everyone to see the more generic or less offensive posts that you have. Alternatively, you're more than welcome to open your entire page to viewers, and many members—particularly the younger ones who have not learned about the potential dangers of identity theft—choose this route. Finally, facebook allows you to specifically block certain members, so that they are unable to access your page under any circumstances. These people will not even know your facebook page exists. As a corollary to this, you can also just make a limited profile that certain friends are capable of accessing, whereas your closer friends are able to access your detailed profile. All of these measures are in place so that you will feel as safe as possible sharing your information, so that you will be likely to share quite a bit, as well as continue using Facebook regularly. Even given these privacy settings, Facebook has recently endured criticism about how much people can access, however, especially now that they have the facebook news feed, which is like a constantly updated blog where you can see every change your friends and acquaintances have made to their profiles. Some students have become worried that it's too much of an infringement on their privacy, and Facebook's creator Mark Zukerberg has advised students not to include their phone numbers, campus or home addresses, or other strictly personal information like birthdays, particularly because these pieces of information invite identity theft and cyber stalking. Instead of these personal facts, you can create a name for yourself on facebook by listing your favorite books and movies, your favorite restaurants and the ones you can't stand, even your hometown and whether you're in a relationship. It is better to list these things as a means of allowing others to get to know you without being able to easily use your information to their financial benefit. But do keep in mind when you make you profile, that with such an enormous network, there is plenty of room for scammers to infiltrate the site and try to use your information for data mining. In other words, you might find yourself receiving a lot more junk emails than you did before you created a profile. But for most people, this is just a small price to pay to be part of the greatest social networking site currently available. With competitors like Friendster, Greatest Journal, and Xanga, as well as international clones (such as one in Germany), Facebook certainly does not have a monopoly over the social networking business, but it is probably doing the best. It's in the best interests of Facebook, however, to make sure that they respond with care to their users concerns, and that they remedy everything and anything as soon as possible. About… Creating clubs and groups At any given time, facebook users can be part of up to five networks, only one of which can be a regional network. The other networks can be university or workplace, as long as every member has a valid email address to authenticate their affiliation with the network. Within those networks are smaller sub-networks called clubs and groups. Facebook users can join existing groups or create their own. Some political groups exist, but the great majority of them are social and fun, which reflects the real nature of facebook.com: to meet other users near you in a social setting, and not necessarily for career networking and the like. In fact, in general, the most common use of facebook is reading about other students with an interest in asking them out on a date. Once you sign on and get registered, there are tons of ways to get help when you're creating groups or joining existing groups. The staff is friendly and supportive, and the other users are great help if you have trouble with any facet of the site. If you want to join a group, you can do so automatically if the group is "open." Other groups require that you inquire of an administrator whether you can join or not, and then you have to wait for approval. Finally, some groups only allow you to join by invitation. Creating events: If you're looking for something to do; facebook is there for you. You can search their "events" listing for an idea of what people in your area have planned for that evening, and what you might be able to get involved with. Plus, you can even create your own events by going to the My Events page and creating your own event. You can even invite people who aren't registered with facebook to these events, as long as you know their email address. Indeed, the objective of facebook is to increase your social networking powers, and they'll do anything they can to help you! And once an event is over, you can post pictures from it so those who were there can remember the fun they had, and those who weren't there can see what they missed. Adding friends and recruiting new members: If you have a friend who is not yet a facebook member, you can easily invite them by going to the invite screen and entering their email address. They will then receive an automated email encouraging them to register and telling them that the invite came from you. You can even import a list of your contacts and invite everyone in one bulk email. This way, you can quickly notify your friends that you are a Facebook user and you want them to join you! Poking and Sending Messages: In addition to groups, you can also create party notices and events, and send messages to your friends via email. As a user, you can interact with others by adding friends to your page (this is based on a mutual agreement to "become friends"). In addition, you can more informally say hello to someone you don't know or haven't heard from in awhile by "poking" them, the Facebook code for saying hello. Sending messages and pokes is very easy. Just click the appropriate box and type in your message. Next time the user logs in, he or she will be automatically notified that they have a new message or a new poke and they can easily respond. You'll be surprised at how friendly some facebook members will be, both in poking you and in responding well to your pokes. In general, the entire network is congenial, and there is a sense of collegiality, which is probably a holdover from the fact that this all started as a university networking site. The entire site exudes a feel like it is a fraternity, at least if you are truly a member of a particular network. For instance, when you sign on, be sure to check the networks in place for your high school, college or university, or your graduate school. You will be surprised at the number of people who are already signed on, and you might get the chance to reconnect with friends that you lost touch with long ago. These networks are also a great way to get involved with a new area if you've recently relocated. You can get to know others in your area that are in your age group or have common interests, and you can browse their profiles at your convenience. The Share Feature Once you and your friends are registered and ready to go, you can also use the share feature to clue them in to a particularly interesting story you've written or a particularly funny picture you've recently taken. The share feature can be accessed from your profile, and you can send specific pieces of information to all your friends to be sure that they will take notice, even if they don't happen to come across your facebook page that day. In addition to adding friends, removing friends is also possible. With each, the process is reciprocal. In other words, you cannot add a friend without them agreeing to "friend you" back, and if you choose to remove a friend from your list, your name will automatically be removed from their list as well. However, they will not receive any other form of notification that you have chosen to remove them. On your friends list, you can also list "friend details;" information about your friends that others will be able to see. Once you initially list the detail, it will appear in gray, and your friend can then read it and confirm that it is true. If they do this, then the detail will change to black. If you want to get some information about someone before meeting them in person and without them knowing that you were asking about them, facebook is the place to do it. You can view the profiles of other registered users in your network, and they will have no information that you were ever there unless you choose to leave a message. In addition to connecting with your friends on facebook itself, you can also get a "badge" from the website that you can add to any additional personal websites or blogs that you may have. This way, you can broadcast the fact that you are a facebook member, and get more exposure to your facebook profile, in case you've recently become a member. You can even use your badge as a personal signature in internet forums. Finally, you can be sure to keep in touch with your friends via your status page. When you sign on, you will be able to set your own status, and see whether other friends are online and available for chatting. This is one of the few instances in which you can directly contact your friends for a chat, rather than leaving a message on their wall. Making Money with Facebook.com: The Facebook creators are not at all averse to broadcasting ads as a means to produce revenue. In fact, they have three widely known methods for helping to get an advertiser some exposure. (Facebook estimates earning one million dollars per week in revenue.) Here are some of the traditional ways: (1) local text ads, which can be posted by the college itself (that pertains to a particular academic network) or by businesses in close proximity with the colleges. These ads are estimated at about fifteen to twenty dollars a day, and when you consider the extent of students that will see the ads every day, or even multiple times each day, it's no question whether the decision to advertise on facebook is a good one. These ads are not very expensive, but at the same time, they aren't going to reach every single person out there. This is a good way to get started on the advertising boat, but it won't necessarily bring in a windfall of cash. (2) traditional banner ads, which any business in the nation can purchase. These ads are the same as the banners you see along the top or down the side of any other site that accepts advertisements. Contact facebook directly for price quotes on these banners. These ads are more likely to bring in a lot of money, but of course, they will cost more too. If you are able to put up the necessary revenue up front, then you should go for some of these ads. They are guaranteed to reach a lot of people. (3) sponsored groups can also be made. So for instance, if Apple computers wants to create a group, they can pay Facebook to advertise the group. Such sponsored groups are quite common on facebook, and again, you can contact their staff directly for more information about these types of advertisements. These groups are interesting in that, if they become popular, they can really bring in a lot of interested buyers. In this case, it can often be a random guess whether your sponsored group will take off or not. A Potential Advertising Option In the Making: Another way that Facebook very recently started generating revenue is through "virtual gifts" that users can give to their friends for a dollar each. As of this report, these virtual gifts were no more than a month in the making, but they already seem to be popular among users, and those that receive gifts can display them like trophies along the wall section of their facebook page. This new feature is still only offered to limited schools, but it is likely that advertisers will be able to sponsor certain gifts, and make a percentage of each gift purchased. With the number of students that use this site as a college dating site, the giving and receiving of gifts is bound to become popular. Currently, they are planned to cost one dollar per gift. Many experts think that this new gift giving feature will explode in revenue because it will be seen by users as a high end version of "poking," or saying hello to other users, and poking is already an enormous is already such a big activity on Facebook, where you reach out to other users. When you pay money to do the same thing, it will mean more, to the gift receiver, and many predict that and "people will be sucked into doing it." If the facebook gifts do succeed, facebook might then increase the stakes by offering "limited edition" gifts and higher end icons. After all, this is just giving away money to facebook for intangible virtual gifts, but it might very well take off. Another way you can make money on Facebook is through "sponsored stories.": Advertisers are already making use of this feature, in which they write up a "story" that appears on the News Feed of facebook members. This story is generally tailored to appeal to the reader, and will often offer a discount on a product or service that the reader might be interested in. Each day, users will see one of these sponsored stories, and it will slowly move from the top of their news feed to the bottom throughout the day. With any of these advertising options, facebook tries to ensure that the advertiser is well suited to their audience to best prevent users from become frustrated and upset with the abundance of advertisements. Keep this in mind when thinking about advertising on facebook. You will be a prime advertiser if you are within close proximity to a large university or if your offer is catered to college students, high school students, or recent college grads, especially if you can offer them a special student discount. If none of these things apply to you, then perhaps you should consider an alternative place to advertise, at least until more non-college-aged people join facebook. At this point, facebook has only recently become open to the public, so it will be some time before facebook is constituted by a broad audience. A Secret for Free Advertising: Sure all of the above ways of advertising are great because they will undoubtedly reach a large audience and get noticed, but what if you just don't have the available revenue to pay facebook upfront, but you still want to get some exposure for your service or product among the 18-25 age bracket? There are still some things you can do to make money with facebook, even if you have no business, nothing to sell, and no service to offer! That's right, there is money to be had in facebook, and now that you know the ins and outs of the site, how to register, and how to create a great page with lots of exposure, you can use your facebook page for your benefit. Here's one way: simply register on facebook and make a page where you talk about your business. Sometimes this can work wonders because it will promote a buzz among the facebook subscribers, and if you have lots of friends on the site, you will quickly get lots of exposure for your business or product. This is also a great way to get free information about your business out there, because you don't have to pay anything to become a registered user, and then you can post whatever you want to your profile. Include pictures of your store front, some information about what you do or what you sell…you can even upload printable coupons and list deals for other facebook members. Of course, with this form of free advertising, it's up to you to get the exposure by asking to join groups, and asking your friends to check out your facebook site. As with many successful businesses, your best source of advertising will be word of mouth, but by making a facebook page with information of your business, you can promote it without ever paying facebook a penny. This method is especially good if you are a recent grad of college or high school and you are hoping to reach the people that you are or used to be friends with. If these people know you or know of you, then they are more likely to help you out by purchasing your product or at least helping to spread the buzz around. Make sure you do everything in your power to target them in your quest for advertising. Join their groups, friend them, and leave plenty of messages (but not too many, you don't want to get banned!). In general, as long as you make a concerted effort to reach people on your facebook page, people are bound to come across it, simply by statistics. So many people use facebook that you are bound to get readers. In order to keep them on your page long enough to potentially buy your product, make sure your site is aesthetically pleasing and that it has plenty of information about your product to keep potential consumers engaged. This part is up to you, but facebook is available to help you along! Tips for Advertising your business on Facebook.com Keep in mind that this all started with college students at Harvard. The decision to open it up to the public was made after professors and students at other colleges wanted to get plugged in, and its usefulness became really apparent. However, this was a tool for the 18-25 crowd from the start, and in effect, the major audience is still this crowd. As an advertiser looking to make money with facebook, you need to consider that your ads will have to interest college students...and one of the most important things for a college student is food. So, for instance, if you live in a college town, and you want to open up a local fast food restaurant, a pizza place, a hoagie or Chinese take-out place, or especially a delivery service, you can set facebook to display an ad for your establishment each time a student logs in, and you will be guaranteed to get a rapid flow of hungry students if your restaurant caters to them (read: cheap, fast, and greasy, usually). Facebook has become one of the best ways for businesses to get exposure to the 18-25 crowd, and if you already have a business and are looking to make extra cash, or if you are considering investing in a business, this is one of the best ways to make a lot of money, at least during the school year. As of February 2004, statistics showed that 85% of college students (something like 3.9 million people) were using facebook (and of those, 60% were logging in every single day), and the social network has remained vibrant and expansive. The most recent report estimated the number of facebook members at 17 million, with people spending an average of 18 minutes per day on facebook (many of the younger students will spend three or more hours per day viewing profiles and working on their own). Now, it's commonplace for high school students to sign on as soon as they get their acceptance letter from college, even before orientation! So the extent of people you will reach by advertising on facebook is truly impressive. A good indicator of how popular Facebook is? It was tied for beer as the second most "in" thing on college campuses… and these two icons lost only to the Apple iPod. Here is How You will earn $1,000's Every,Single Week with FaceBook.

You can still make money with facebook. For instance, maybe you are a member of a blog advertising site like PayPerPost or ReviewMe. For these sites, all you need is a blog to make money, but the catch is that the highest paying rewards are only available to the people who are highly ranked with Google's search algorithm and who's sites host a high volume of traffic (as sometimes determined by your Alexa score). Well, your facebook page can help you here. Simply register, and choose the five networks that apply to you, then make sure that everyone who sees your facebook page is encouraged to check out your blog. Of course, to keep them coming, you'll need to post some actual content of interest on your blog, but this is a great way to get them there the first time. With this inter-linking method, you're sure to increase your page rank and your traffic. Predictions for the Future One of the most important things to consider is the fact that with time, facebook is bound to evolve as the inaugural class that first used facebook graduates from college and bring their profiles and their addiction to facebook to their new jobs and to graduate school. As an advertiser, this just means diversification, because after all, the exposure of new crops of students, existing students, and alumni to your ads is expected to be a phenomenal way to make money. In fact, some see facebook as automatically replacing a lot of the corporate intranets that are poorly formatted and do not catch on well. If employees come on with a knowledge of facebook and with experience using it, it would just make sense for the organization to adopt facebook and sponsor their own group. Ultimately, this may become the nation's, or even the world's best networking site—it has already become international; catering in particular to schools in Canada, Germany, and India. So, as an advertiser, now is the time to cash in and make sure you get on the cash bandwagon before the price of ads skyrockets, as it is bound to do.

Multiple-stakes winner Walkwithapurpose has been installed as the even-money favorite to win today's feature at Laurel Park, the one-mile, $150,000 Caesar's Wish Stakes for 3-year-old fillies.

"She is exactly where we want her to be at this point," Correas said. "We feel she is really talented and has continued to step up every time she runs. She has done things so easy and has already won at the distance. We are looking forward to the next step in her career and hopefully she delivers [today]."

CONYERS - Three people arrested for alleged involvement in a commercial gambling operation last year have been indicted by the Rockdale County Grand Jury.Shazeb Abdullah Mistry, 49, of 1895 Hickory Lane in Snellville was indicted for commercial gambling, possession of gambling devices and keeping a gambling place. Jacquelyn Sneed Weaver, 49, of 1550 Morningside Drive in Covington and Ronald Bunch, 54, of 1891 Access Road in Covington, were indicted on the charge of commercial gambling. The charges stem from a Rockdale County Sheriff's Office Narcotic's and Vice unit investigation which resulted in a raid in March of 2007 on three locations on Iris Drive near the Newton County line. Authorities subsequently confiscated gambling material from the locations, including at least seven slot machines. The three will likely be scheduled for arraignment in April and face trial later this spring. Ric Latarski can be reached at email@example.com.

The weekend came and went like each of the last 20, or so, that came before them. The last few pangs of the 2011 football season each serving as fleeting reminders of the year we wish never was. The mistakes reign supreme over the triumphs once again. We're almost used to it by now.
Even the games highest levels couldn't escape its demons. And as trophies were hoisted the illusions of grandeur fall on deaf ears. What's so "super" about two teams backing into a championship game anyways? For the first time I can remember, possibly ever, I'm ready for it just to all be over.
It's been the worst football season, particularly in the college ranks, that we could ever imagine. Scandal is no stranger to football, but like a thin layer of soap scum we strip it away year after year to expose a captivating sheen, imperfectly perfect.
This year, we scrubbed mercilessly only to find that the filth never ends. Every act of improbity is met with some form of contrition, reproach or irreverence, natural human reactions to the humanization of a sport we've spent so long deifying. "The system is broken," some will say. They'll be called anarchists.
In Tennessee, they'll long for the days of Fulmer and even The General himself, even though these so-called "simpler times" came long before the birth of most. In books of record it will just read 5-7 next to 2011, but it'll be more widely recognized as an apparition, or a casualty of a down year in football.
The injury-bug got us, too much inexperience, and a brutal schedule will all serve as reasonable cop outs to a season that made us all cringe. It's a shame for 10 seniors who face unprecedented challenges during their time in Knoxville, but the 2011 season has already been scheduled for termination in the mind of Volunteer fans everywhere. Despite it's improbability, we'll atempt to euthanize time.
But the Volunteer faithful aren't alone. Outside of the select few who have earned the right to call themselves champions, and a few more that seem content to call themselves champions regardless of merit, 2011 has been a season we'll be happy to forget.
We'll always remember Joe Paterno and the defining lines that his life created in his last days, and we'll probably remember who wins the Super Bowl despite its trivial nature in comparison, but little else will be of consequence in five years. The die-hards will remember a bit more, as is always the case, and the cynics will use it as fuel (petrified turds burn the longest), but we'll be generally eager to disregard the rest.
There's no reason to anticipate 2012 will be better or worse, but we'll make the general assumption that better days lie ahead. Unfounded optimism is one of the things that make sports great, not just football. No matter how terribly your season is going, you can take solace in the fact that you are no more than 12 months away from 0-0.
So as we count down the days until we can officially put this awful season behind us, we'll reflect on the year that was. Thursday, a memorial service will be held for Joe Paterno, and nine days later a decidedly less meaningful service will be held in jest as the football season officially comes to an end. But unlike Paterno, there will be no mourners as the memories are laid to rest.

Sharp 1795 B-9, BB-13 Dollar, AU Details1795 $1 Flowing Hair, Two Leaves--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. AU Details. B-9, BB-13, R.4. Die State I. While the surfaces of this example are slightly roughened from the condition of the original die, there is no evidence of clash marks or cracks on either side of this early state example.
The existing details suggests a strong AU coin with evidence of remaining luster on both sides, especially in the protected areas. In addition to light evidence of cleaning on this ivory and steel toned piece, the upper obverse rim has minor imperfections.
The B-9 die combination is scarcer than the Bowers estimate of 300 to 500 coins, but more plentiful than Bolender's estimate of 31 to 75 coins. This piece, despite minor challenges, still qualifies as one of the better known specimens of the die marriage.
Stack's described this coin in their catalog as:
"1795. B.9. Choice About Uncirculated, virtually Mint State. An outstanding specimen of this issue and one securely lodged high in the Condition Census. In the recent Bowers roster of high grade examples this coin would place second. Both sides are deeply and evenly toned in a medium shade of silver gray. There are very faint traces of original mint lustre that can be seen around the rims. The roughness in the field behind Liberty's head appears to be typical of the variety in the pre-clash state of the obverse. The reverse planchet surface, which appears to be somewhat striated, shows how difficult it was for the early Mint to prepare its planchets for the denomination."
Ex: Stack's (3/1999), lot 802.

Kerry eases Indian worry over talks with Taliban
NEW DELHI Secretary of State John Kerry said Monday the U.S. sympathizes with India's wariness about talks between the U.S. and the Taliban, whose affiliates have been blamed for attacking Indian reconstruction projects in Afghanistan and the Indian embassy in Kabul.
Kerry made his first trip to India as secretary of state where he worked to enhance a U.S.-India relationship that is deeply rooted despite ongoing disagreements about U.S. support of India's archrival, Pakistan, roadblocks to trade, restrictions on American companies doing business in fast-growing India and uncertainty about the future stability of Afghanistan.
At a wide-ranging news conference with Indian External Minister Salman Khurshid, Kerry announced that Vice President Joe Biden would visit India in late July to underscore the importance of relations. Kerry also said he hoped the two countries could increase trade.
Khurshid said Kerry reassured him that India's concerns about U.S. talks with the Taliban would not be overlooked or undermined. The Taliban have historic ties with Pakistan. India is especially concerned about any negotiations with the Taliban-affiliated Haqqani network, which is blamed for attacking Indian reconstruction projects and the Indian embassy in Kabul. India also blames Pakistan-based insurgents for the 2008 Mumbai attacks that killed 166 people, the worst terror incident in the nation.
The Taliban and U.S. agreed to begin talks last week as a first step toward what is hoped would be talks between the Taliban and Afghan government officials aimed at crafting a political solution in Afghanistan once U.S. and allied troops leave at the end of 2014.
"This is a process - and I think it's an experiment that's being done in order to find an alternative for sustainable peace in Afghanistan. One cannot disagree with that," Khurshid said.
But he didn't express high hopes for successful talks. "I think it's very clear what the objective is. How far the objective is possible, only time will tell."
Kerry said the U.S. was consulting with nations in the region and that James Dobbins, the U.S. special representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan, who was in Kabul on Monday, would visit India on Wednesday to brief officials.
But Kerry's comments on the issue added confusion to an already chaotic run-up to prospective negotiations.
Kerry said negotiations would only take place if certain conditions were met. He said the Taliban had to respect the Afghanistan constitution, disassociate itself from al-Qaida and violence, and respect the rights of women and minorities. However, the actual U.S. position lists these issues as outcomes of successful negotiations, not preconditions to sit down at the negotiating table. State Department officials said Kerry's remarks did not represent a change in U.S. policy.
The push for negotiations got off to a rocky start after the Taliban opened the new office last week with great fanfare on live television, hoisting the flag it used when it ruled Afghanistan and calling the bureau an office of the "Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan." That prompted immediate outrage from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who said the use of the formal name and flag made the office akin to an embassy rather than a political bureau for peace negotiations.

The local Move to Amend affiliate for North Shore area of Massachusetts includes but is not limited to:
Beverly, Danvers, Essex, Gloucester, Ipswich, Lynn, Manchester, Marblehead, Nahant, Newburyport,, Peabody, Salem, Swampscott.
Citizens in dozens of communities voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday for their legislators to pass a constitutional amendment to overturn the Supreme Court's Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission decision, which opened the door for the super-rich and corporations to trample democracy.
As they headed to the polls to vote in what turned out to be the most expensive midterm election in history — one in which outside money from undisclosed sources played an outsized role and the number of small individual donors shrank — voters across the country made clear their desire to end corporate personhood and get big money out of politics.
Last Friday, we participated in a nationwide effort to raise awareness through bannering over roads. We held banners over Rt 1 in Saugus, over 128 at Endicott St, by the Salem Train Station, at the Nahant Rotary and the Gloucester Rotary. All were encouraged by the amount of enthusiastic and positive response we received.
North Shore residents outraged by the latest blow to U.S. campaign finance law rallied in Salem last week, calling for an end to the corrosive effects of corporate cash in the democratic process.
"It just really pisses me off," said Rick Marks of Newbury, who held a sign and waved to passing cars in Riley Plaza. "Corporations and special interests already have so much power. Now they can buy even more influence in politics."
Voters in just under half of Massachusetts towns considered the Democracy Amendment ballot question supporting a constitutional amendment to overturn federal court decisions that give rights of persons to Corporations. The most recent is the Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission,the 2010 decision that said corporations and the wealthy can spend unlimited amounts to influence elections, and earlier court decisions that have given corporations constitutional rights.
The following is a letter to the editor from a Waltham resident.

"Kirkus' review of The Mill River Recluse played an important role in encouraging readers to take a chance on a first novel by an unknown author."
— Darcie Chan, independent author of The Mill River Recluse, which sold more than 500,000 copies
Back in 2004, Leila Roy started Bookshelves of Doom as a simple reading log. Over the past 10 years, it has morphed and expanded into a website that covers stories in all forms—fact and fiction, print and film, video games and songs—but, at its heart, it is still best described by the tagline it launched with: "Book news, reviews, my life, and anything else I think is interesting."
The CW's iZombie is my new obsession—it's smart and funny, the heroine has a great voice and tons of heart, and watching her interact with the secondary characters is just as much fun as watching her fight crime. The show has a seriously Veronica Mars–ish feel, a fact that can be chalked up to the fact that it uses pretty much exactly the same format and comes from the same creators. As so often happens, my current TV interest ...
Yesterday, I read Susan Juby's The Truth Commission for the third time. As it won't be officially released until tomorrow, that may actually be a personal record. What can I say? I love it.

"If a top secret women's detective agency existed in Victorian England, it left no evidence—just as well, since that would cast serious doubt on its competence. The Agency is a totally unrealistic, completely fictitious antidote to the fate that would otherwise swallow a girl like Mary Quinn."

When I got to the end of the third book in Y.S. Lee's Agency series, The Traitor in the Tunnel, I thought the series was over. I ...
"To record the details of how the players met, what they noticed about each other, what captured their imaginations: all of those was how Love showed his affection for humans and their strangely beautiful, optimistic hearts.

With Martha Brockenbrough's The Game of Love and Death, my streak continues, and 2015 continues to be ...

The sun is rising. The myth is not in the telling, but the constant retelling. This is my story. I want to tell it, not once, not just to myself, but over and over again.

I am finally, finally ready to sit down and read Lolita, and the credit belongs entirely to Elana K. Arnold's Infandous. Like Bone Gap, this is a book so fantastically excellent that I fear it may reduce ...
Buzz and gushing testimonials can be both commercially created and untrustworthy, but Laura Ruby's Bone Gap deserves every single dollop of praise it has received.
