Hamas planned to start a third intifada and seize control of the West Bank from Mahmoud Abbas and the Palestinian Authority, the Shin Bet security service said.
On Monday, the Shin Bet said it arrested 93 Hamas operatives in the West Bank in May and June who were planning a series of massive attacks on Israeli targets, especially the Temple Mount, in order to start the conflagration. Indictments are expected to be filed against at least 70 of the suspects.
The leader was Hamas operations officer Salah Al-Aruri, who lives in Turkey, according to the Shin Bet. Aruri was released and deported in 2010 after years in Israeli jails for terror-related charges.
Terror cells were set up in 46 Palestinian West Bank towns and villages — including in and around Jenin, Nablus, eastern Jerusalem, Ramallah, and Hebron — the Shin Bet said.
Many of those recruited for the cells were students studying chemistry and engineering, and academics, according to the investigation.
Funds for the operation were transferred from Turkey and Jordan, the Shin Bet said. Nearly $600,000 was used to purchase weapons and safe houses.

On Sunday, I bought a chicken dinner at the deli. I didn't want the white roll that comes with the dinner so the man in the deli wrapped a piece of rye bread for me to go with my dinner (free of charge) --Now, that is good service!
When I got home, I noticed that I was charge for the fish dinner which was $4.00 more than the chicken dinner. I went back yesterday and showed my receipt to the clerk. She apologized, called the manager and he was there almost immediately. He apologized and quickly reimbursed my account and apologized again. And so did the young woman who packs the groceries. Now, that is excellent service!!! This says so much about the quality of your store and your people. Congratulations for running such a great store. -- Marianne

Re: Fedora Core 2 - lockup problems
I managed to get it to work after hand-compiling a 2.6.6 kernel. I don't like doing that because I like having a system like up2date helping to keep me from being hacked. But, I did get it to work. I had to turn off the 4kb stack option of course.
Even now it still doesn't work quite right. When I switch back to a text console, it shows up very strangely.
I think it was the 4kb stack option in the Fedora kernel that was causing it to behave badly.
And, for the average person, what I had to do to make all of this work would be incomprehensible gibberish. I help several friends maintain their own Linux installations, and the only one I ever really have to pay regular attention to is the one that has an nVidia card.

Lice will not go away without treatment. If the initial treatment does not kill all of
the eggs (nits), a follow-up treatment may be required 7 to 10 days later to
kill the newly hatched
lice. Itching may last for 7 to 10 days even after
successful treatment.
After treatment, dead eggs may remain in the
person's hair until they are removed. Some schools have a policy of not
allowing children to return to school until they are free of eggs.
If your child has lice, report it to your child's day care provider or
school so that other children can be checked.
Some children and parents think about or feel lice crawling even after the lice problem is gone. If you or your child feels like symptoms are lasting or feels troubled after the lice problem is gone, talk to your doctor.
Frequent scratching can cause mild
complications such as skin infections. In severe cases, hair may fall out. Some
people may develop thickened, darkened skin in areas that are infested with
lice over a long period.

Is this going to be Nokia's next fashion offering?
After making an appearance on German site Nokiaport.de, rumour has it that this odd looking mobile might be Nokia's next designer/fashion offering.
We think the triangular slash diamond shaped keys, the pattern repeating on the back of the phone and the purple highlighting makes it looks like a prop from "Tron", but who are we to differ with the aesthetic whims of the Finnish phone designers?
Spec-wise, if the Germans are to be trusted, you're looking at a quadband GSM phone with a bog-standard camera and 1GB of internal memory.

State spending $650,000 for sensors to alert U.S. 41 drivers panthers may be near
NAPLES - As U.S. 41 runs through the Big Cypress National Preserve, the rural highway crosses a natural pathway that is a favorite route for endangered Florida panthers _ with deadly results.
Now, the hot spot for collisions between vehicles and panthers is in line for a Western-style approach to reducing panther roadkill in South Florida.
Backed by conservation groups, the Florida Department of Transportation plans to install devices on a 1.3-mile stretch of U.S. 41 west of Turner River Road to detect animals and activate warning signs to alert motorists.
The $650,000 plan is an alternative to a controversial proposal to install two wildlife crossings, a more proven but more expensive way to reduce panther-vehicle collisions, beneath that segment of the highway.
The big question is whether a Roadside Animal Detection System, or RADS, will work.
"It seems promising, but it must be considered experimental," said RADS expert Marcel Huijser, a road ecologist at the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University.
Florida has never used roadside detection systems before, and the DOT plans to study the effectiveness of the one at Turner River, said Chris Piazza, a DOT project development engineer.
If the experiment is a success, it could give scientists a new way to tackle one of the biggest threats to the endangered state symbol of Florida.
"We're fairly optimistic this can be another technology to put in our tool kit in our efforts to address threats to the Florida panther," U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokesman Ken Warren said.
Scientists say between 100 and 120 panthers roam South Florida and increasingly are being pinched by growth.
In 2009, mostly in Lee and Collier counties, 17 panthers were killed on roads, setting a grisly record.
So far this year, two panthers have been killed by vehicles in Collier County.
Since 1984, eight panthers have been struck by vehicles along the same 2.5-mile stretch of road on either side of the Turner River; five of them have been killed.
Some conservation advocates count a sixth roadkill there after a canoe trip guide found a dead panther south of U.S. 41 in the Turner River in October. State biologists haven't found officially that the panther was struck by a vehicle.
Six of the collisions, including four of the deaths, have occurred since 2004.
In one particularly wrenching episode, a female panther was injured along the stretch of road in July 2004 and her kitten was killed a month later.
After the mother panther had recuperated, the cat was released back into the wild, only to find its way back to Turner River, where it was struck and killed by a vehicle in May 2005.
DOT acknowledges that it "has an issue out there," said Piazza, the agency's project development engineer.
"Whatever we do hopefully will have some effect on reducing that rate (of panther-vehicle collisions)," he said.
Piazza said the DOT plans to request proposals from contractors later this month and have the work under way by July 1.
Most roadside systems use electronic motion or thermal infrared sensors installed on poles above the ground.
The sensors are triggered when animals either step into a cone-shaped zone or block a beam sent from a transmitter.
An underground system being tested in Colorado triggers a warning to drivers when an electromagnetic field is disturbed.
Studies in Arizona, Minnesota and Montana have shown that the systems can reduce collisions with elk and deer by between 55 percent and 90 percent, Huijser said.
Those animals are larger than Florida panthers, though, and the roads often cut through open plains rather than dense swamps.
Other experiments have shown that humidity, temperature, wind, rain and fog can make some systems less reliable, he said.
Roadside detection systems have a more fundamental problem than the weather, said Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission panther team leader Darrell Land.
They are aimed at modifying motorists' behavior rather than modifying panthers' behavior, he said.
"It won't keep animals from getting on the road," Land said.
The systems could be deployed more quickly and for less money than wildlife crossings, which can take millions of dollars and years to build, Land said.
But there is "a lot of evaluation to do" before he could recommend roadside detection systems as interim or permanent panther protection measures, he said.
Conservation groups are eager to get the system up and running.
"We don't know that it will work, but we're very hopeful," said Laurie Macdonald, Florida director for Defenders of Wildlife.
Defenders had been pushing the DOT to install wildlife crossings at Turner River until the plan erupted in controversy.
Hunters balked, saying fences associated with the crossings would block traditional public access into the Big Cypress National Preserve from U.S. 41.
Indian tribes that live in the Everglades said the fences would cut off access to sacred cultural sites and interrupt travel routes for other animals.
The roadside detection system is getting lukewarm backing from some wildlife crossing opponents.
"If it will work, I support it," said sportsman Frank Denninger, of Hialeah. "It's worth a try."

RaboDirect PRO12: Eli Walker scores decisive try as Ospreys beat Leinster
Last Updated: 04/11/12 6:46pm
Eli Walker: Scored decisive try for the Ospreys in the 63rd minute
A second-half try from Eli Walker propelled the Ospreys to a hard-fought 19-10 win over Leinster in their RaboDirect PRO12 clash at the Liberty Stadium.
Fly-half Matthew Morgan also kicked 14 points for the hosts, including the late drop goal which denied the visitors a losing bonus point.
The European champions had made a brilliant start and led 10-0 inside 10 minutes thanks mostly to a Leo Auva'a try but could not muster any further points.
Leinster made a positive start and were rewarded when a Ian Madigan slotted over a penalty after four minutes of action.
The lead was extended soon after when Auva'a grounded the ball after Rhys Webb had a clearance kick charged down, with Madigan converting.
With torrential rain falling, the home side finally sparked into life, Morgan cutting the lead to one point by half-time as he slotted three penalties between the posts.
The hosts were handed a setback when prop Duncan Jones was sin-binned, but they took the lead in the 63rd minute when a brilliant 50-metre run from Richard Fussell put Walker over and Morgan converted.
And two minutes from time Morgan put over a drop-goal to put the Ospreys two scores ahead at 19-10.

Post-retirement, pioneering Army doctor not slowing down
EL PASO — For retired Maj. Gen. Carla Hawley-Bowland, there's just no slowing down.
Hawley-Bowland, a 61-year-old medical doctor, stays active by volunteering through the Red Cross at William Beaumont Army Medical Center, a bustling military hospital in El Paso.
During her 32-year military career, she became the first woman doctor to become a general in the Army.
Since her retirement in 2011, she has settled in El Paso, where she was stationed for 11 years at Beaumont, including two years as the hospital's commander in 2000-2002.
Two or three days a week, Hawley-Bowland, an obstetrician and gynecologist, volunteers at the hospital. She helps out with surgeries, teaches resident doctors who rotate through from the Texas Tech Health Sciences Center Paul L. Foster School of Medicine and serves as a mentor to younger doctors. She also teaches interns who rotate through at Beaumont.
"I'm the old gray hair, even though you can't see it," Hawley-Bowland joked. "I just did my roots."
She does the volunteer work as a way of giving back and staying active.
"It's what I love," the Casper, Wyo., native said. "It's busy hands are happy hands as far as surgeons are concerned. That was my happy place. When I was a general, that's how I handled stress. I went to the OR."
Hawley-Bowland kept her medical and surgical skills sharp even when she was having to concentrate on administrative work as a general.
Her last assignment before retiring was as the commanding general for the Northern Regional Medical Command and Walter Reed Army Medical Center, then in Washington, D.C. While she was at Walter Reed, she continued to perform surgeries.
While she found relief from the stress of her command duties in the operating room, everyone else would become stressed, she said.
"It was, 'Oh, my, the general is in the operating room,'" she said with a laugh.
Lt. Col. (promotable) Rod Pattan, chief of the Department of Women's Health at Beaumont and an obstetrician and gynecologist, said having a doctor and retired soldier of Hawley-Bowland's stature volunteering at the hospital is "truly unique."
"She's a wonderful physician," he said. "Her job in the military was mostly administrative when she was a general, but she is a wonderful physician and an exceptional surgeon. She's technically very proficient. Her skills, experience and wisdom are a great resource for my younger doctors to tap into.
"Whenever my younger doctors have a difficult case, they ask if Carla will be available that day to help," Pattan added.
Having Hawley-Bowland around also helps to keep things light around the hospital and she serves an inspiration especially to young female doctors, Pattan said.
"She loves to tease and be teased back," Pattan said. "She's a lot of fun to work with."
The Army is going through a transition with sequestration, force restructuring and the end of the war in Afghanistan nearing. But there is definitely life after the Army, Hawley-Bowland said.
"They really do have skills they need to brag about," she said about soldiers who are planning to leave the service. "They have leadership and organizational skills that other kids their own age don't have, just by being in the Army."
Hawley-Bowland said she got to be a department chief and program director at Army hospitals about 10 years earlier than her counterparts in the civilian world.
During her Army career, Hawley-Bowland was affectionately nicknamed "Mom" by the resident doctors she trained while at Beaumont.
"I had chocolate and jelly beans on my desk all the time to get them through the day," she said. "When they had their mandatory test every year, I'd bring in food. I took care of them."
She still hears from many of her former resident doctors. They'll email her about some big case they had and "how what I taught them made a difference," she said.
Hawley-Bowland received a military scholarship to put herself through medical school. She originally had a four-year commitment but liked serving in the Army so much she stuck around for another 28 years.
"I loved it," she said. "I loved taking care of soldiers, their wives, their families, the retirees and their families, female soldiers."
When she retired in 2011, she and her her husband, retired Col. Warren Bowland, moved back to El Paso. They picked the city because it felt the most like home of any of the places they had been stationed. It is also centrally located near much of their family, including their grown children and grandchildren.
They also love the climate here and have a vacation home that's about an eight-hour drive away in Pagosa Springs, Colo.
"I'm from Wyoming," she said. "We have lots of landscape that looks like this (the desert Southwest)."

Welcome to the English to Canada web-site - the web-site for people whose ancestors emigrated from England to Canada. If any of your ancestors came from England this web-site should help you find out some facts about them.
For instance, it will tell you:
The information on this site is provided by Dr. Lucille H. Campey - a recognised authority on emigration from Britain to Canada. It is based on her detailed research of English emigration to Canada which has been documented in three books. The first book, Planters, Paupers and Pioneers - English settlers in Atlantic Canada, was published in 2010. The second book, Seeking a Better Future: The English settlers of Ontario and Quebec was published in 2012. The third book, Ignored but not Forgotten: Canada's English Immigrants was published in 2014 and covers English emigration to the Prairie Provinces and British Columbia..
Said Lucille: "The English were numerically the largest ethnic group of settlers to come to Canada; arriving in much greater numbers than the Irish or Scots. In spite of this they have been widely ignored by historians. My three books represent the first ever comprehensive study of immigration from England to Canada. My research is ongoing and if you would like to send me any material that you might have on your English ancestors I would be delighted to receive it. At the same time, I am always happy to offer my own ideas and suggestions - so please write to me if you think I can help you with your family tree research.
My e-mail address is: firstname.lastname@example.com.
To explore this web-site simply follow the links at the
top of this page. If you want to learn more about English immigration to a
particular province, follow the provincial links. If you want general
information follow the link to Canada's English Immigrants. If you want
more details about
Lucille's books and how to order them follow the link to Lucille's English in

I think you have to be much more specific to get good answers. Budget? You say "road trip", planning to do Europe by car? Europe contains just about everything, from snow in midnight sun in the north to terribly hot desert climate in the south, or the warm mediteranian sea all on the same day. Train could also be a civilized way of getting around in a speed not to fast for photography.

33 year old man | Los Angeles, CA, USA | Seeking women 18-32 within 50 miles
Laid back, fun, and intelligent, ...if that's what you're into, hit me up!
Moved to Los Angeles from the NYC metropolitan area in June of '08 because NYC doesn't fit my personality... and I couldn't stand the cold weather anymore. I've been loving LA since I got here. I'm passionate about life -- try to live it to the fullest everyday. I'm ambitious -- I strive to be successful in anything I do and always want to improve myself. Have a soft spot for helping people. Love technology, but can appreciate being somewhere in nature completely cut off from the world. I love to have intellectual conversations...but that doesn't mean I don't like acting like a goof either. Love to laugh and make people laugh -- laughter can take away stress and bring people together. I love all different types of music. Love sports of all kinds. I'm open-minded, always willing to learn and try new things, and also learn more about things I already know about. It's not that easy to meet quality people at bars and clubs -- not that there aren't good people there, but it's hard to strike up a conversation with someone and really get to know them when the music is blasting. Hoping that being on here will give me the opportunity to meet some good people. I'd like to find someone that is open-minded and positive about life, who can be both laid-back and serious, and puts a high value on family and friends. Someone who can appreciate both a deep philosophical conversation just as much as ridiculous comedy. I also appreciate someone who can just tell it like it is, no BS -- If I say I want an honest opinion on something, I actually mean it. I also appreciate a woman that has no problem calling me out on things I need to be called out on.

Sometimes I like the more "crazy" places, other times the more reserved places. Love local coffee places. I still want to go to other parts of Europe I haven't been to yet, like Italy, Greece, Germany, Spain.
Cars of all types. Motorcycles as well. Definitely a fan of Family Guy, Entourage, Criminal Minds, CSI, and a bunch of other shows. Music -- I'll listen to almost anything. Movies -- almost any genre. Food -- I like Italian, but up for new things
watching movies, listening to music, anything related to cars, going out to bars/clubs, chilling with friends, playing/watching sports

Dana is such an asshole, had done a lot for the sport but he's an asshole. I never thought I'd see the day that him and GSP were at ends.
Dana is such an asshole, had done a lot for the sport but he's an asshole. I never thought I'd see the day that him and GSP were at ends.
With Dana being where he is stops a bunch of complaints, BS, and keeps many in line. The F brothers don't want all of the petty headaces DW has. DW makes their lives easier and they like that even knowing they could do better just don't want the hasle. Plus even if DW stepped down the media still would question him and print it
normally I don't care what dana says or does but lately his attitude towards GSP is just disappointing. GSP being the ambassador for the UFC and one of the biggest PPV draws and not to mention one of the GOAT, how can you bury a person like him? hope karma bites on danas ass someday.
Just a thought-
Had GSP actually lost I think much of DW's comments might seem substantiated. However, he did not. Even worse, he was willing to walk away from his career and a championship he's worked QUITE hard to earn and defend even after suffering a severe knee injury.
That kind of thing and the fact that GSP's character is pretty rock-solid overall makes DW look even more like a fool here than usual. As a matter of fact, it makes him look like an even more disloyal fool than most thought.
If GSP isn't fighting and making money for the UFC, he's of no use to Dana White.
He only cares about the present, he only cares about money. You give him money today? He is your friend and everything is good.
You decide to retire tomorrow? He does not give a shit about you and about what you have done.
And still there are people defending that fucking idiot, lool the most pathetic thing is how some people call him "Uncle Dana".
I have been saying for years that he is stupid douchebag, but most of you thought that I am simply a hater because he said bad things about Fedor.
Well here you have your dear "uncle" Dana, he has talked shit about many good fighters. Now he is disrespecting GSP, next time he will disrespect Cain velasquez....oh wait, he already did that after the first Cigano fight.
He is a fucking 40 year old that has the attitude of some bitchy 8 year old boy. Fuck him!

Steve-O at Rivercenter Comedy Club
: March 14, 2014
The outrageous "Jackass" star is in town for a four-night stand of hip-hop and skater-punk-tempered stand-up comedy, certainly to include a stunt or prank or two and possibly an aside on veganism and animal rights. He's cleaned up his personal life and reportedly has been sober for three years. He's a good sport even when he's the butt of the joke away from his "Jackass" compadres. Just Google his appearance on the Comedy Central roast of Charlie Sheen a couple of years ago, or check out his YouTube channel. For his erudite fans, the public library's got his 2011 memoir "Professional Idiot: A Memoir."

8:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m. Friday-Saturday; 8:30 p.m. Sunday at Rivercenter Comedy Club. Tickets cost $20.

These youngsters were all revved up
Campers motored in to enjoy a flick
Singleton Community Center's Day Camp recently hosted their annual Drive-in Movie Day and Box Car Contest.
Campers handcrafted their own cardboard-box cars. They zoomed their cars around the community center to the auditorium to be judged during the contest.
After the contest, the youngsters got to watch a much-anticipated movie at the mock drive-in movie theater. Camp counselors took on the role of carhops -- serving snacks to drive-in goers while they watched the movie.
There were 12 first-place winners chosen in various categories.
Winners were Anna Trakul, Erin Adair, Madison Pruett, Brielle Caporale, Abby Bledsoe, Camilla Henao, Drew Heckman, Tanner Barnett, Camden Wallace, Lydia Dacus, Bailee Kohr and Chandler Wallace.
Michelle Gwyn is an employee for Singleton Community Center.

Bad LT Helmet
Pretty good fit. This is my first helmet, so I have no other comparisons. But so far so good. Good snug fit. Padding can be removed for better fitment. Works well with Zeal goggles. Nice and low key design that does the job.

41 year old man | Midlothian, IL, USA | Seeking women 26-34 within 50 miles
Like a Fine Wine,Getting Better with Age!!
Some things about me: I come from a great family. Love my Mother, Father, and Sisters. I have many Nieces and Nephews who are awesome. I try to show them how to have fun and be a good uncle. I have many friends, but only a few really good ones. I love to vacation, Snowboarding, being mischievous, laughing, teasing, and getting dressed up for a date or event. I love my dogs (unfortunately I do not get them all the time.. kind of a long story I will save for the 3rd date :) I try to do things because they are right and without motives. I believe that in life you should trust and believe in yourself above anyone else. I like to work out and run the stairs at Swallow Cliff Toboggan Slide. I love the city in summer, the only time that Chicago is better is in Mid-December when its Snowing and the city is lit up for Christmas. I Love music (the right music can enhance any environment. Chill music is awesome for dinner) I Love good food. (Butter-Fish from Roy's is one of my favorite dishes) I like sports. The word "amazing" gets used too much... (something amazing is not just above average, Amazing is like getting 100% in an entire college class) I like European Designed Dress Shirts. I can work with my hands almost as well as I can with my mind. (different roles call for different sets of skills) I like to dance, but love when my date can dance better than I. I love to eat breakfast on Sunday morning by my parents home. I will leave the rest for conversation and mystery. lol. About her: I can appreciate many different personalities, however here are a few things I prefer: Confidence, sincerity, honesty, sense of humor, kindness, and intelligence. Has to genuinely like my Parents and my Sisters. Has to love music, dancing, and enjoy both Lounges and the occasional night club.
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Business networking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing cards , Playing sports , Travel/Sightseeing , Video games , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Dancing, Football, Hockey, Skiing, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines
I exercise 1-2 times per week.
I like Dogs
Love Dogs, prefer hypo allergenic but I would grow fond of any dog as long as they don't get agressive with me or loved ones.
Middle of the Road
I enjoy a good dinner at a quality restaurant. Going out for drinks, dancing, and hanging out in the city. Been to EDC, WMC, Lalapalooza, Blues, and many other festival music and others.
I really like music. Most genres are ok, but i have my select few. In terms of movies, I love action, comedy, enjoy a good drama, and do not mind a romance on occasion. I like most food, love sea food, ethnic food, but not so much Mid Eastern.
I love doing many things. Watching and playing sports, watching movies, working out, hiking, and hanging out with friends. I have nephews who i take to the movies sometimes and show them how to let loose.
Hmm, reading... I was able to make it through grad school with limited reading. I am a very visual person and learn mostly that way. However, I do read for work, whether its contracts, blue-prints, or process instructions, if those count.

In honor of Halloween, thought I would share some of the more harrowing experiences I've had, purely from a customer service perspective:
1. Wieners Circle
I know the late-night, post-bar crowd expects to be yelled at, but I've been there at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday, and the servers are just as grumpy. The Tribune's Kevin Pang had a hilarious bit on his "Cheeseburger Show" showing just how abusive they can be (warning, R-rated language ensues).
2. Gene & Georgetti
It may be the oldest steakhouse in town, but so are the waiters - as aloof as Uncle Fester and abrasive as Don Rickles; don't even think of sitting down in the front bar area unless you're a "regular." They will literally leave tables empty while you wait in the bar, just in case one walks in.

I fell asleep with the TV on earlier this week, and awakened to a campaign commercial with the ghostly images of senate candidate Alexi Giannoulias appearing and re-appearing on the facades of Chicago architecture.
Couldn't be. This is what I get for eating that giant sandwich before going to bed, I thought.
Turns out the commercial is real.
The ad, paid for by the Washington D.C.
Oct. 28, 2010
I don't think I've watched a World Series game in three years.
The Phillies were in it the last couple years, right? I am just too busy and even if I made it home, there was usually better TV to watch. And let's face it, by the time two teams you barely care about get around to playing a seven game series in late October, you've moved on to football, hockey and NBA basketball (as of last night).
But there I was, watching all of Game 1 between the Texas Rangers and my new favorite team, the San Fransisco Giants.
The game turned out to be a sloppy blowout. The Rangers' ace Cliff Lee got lit up and the Giants poured it on. But while watching the Giants play, I saw something familiar: The Giants are the 2005 Chicago White Sox.
The team similarities are endless:
The Giants have transcended baseball and become a movement. Their fans wear beards, sing anthems and go absolutely nuts on balls and strikes. Their orange and black garb is strikingingly crisp. The players are becoming folk heroes (Posey, Ross and Lincecum). Sound familiar?

Hello all!
1. First of all, what do you guys think of these new digs? We're just "moving in" to our new Mission Amy K.R. space today, so please toss any and all thoughts our way.
2. I also want to remind you about this week's Trick or Tweet mission. My box of band-aids and I are here waiting for you!
3. I am sorry to say that I did not get enough Talent Show submissions last week to warrant creating a video. I want to thank the small handful of you who did send material in (which was great, by the way). I think by now you know that I take every mission to heart and try to make good on every idea and offer; I suppose once in a while there will be a mission that does not conclude with the word "accomplished." Sigh.
4. Finally, I want to leave you with this short piece I wrote about turning 40. It ran in Oprah Magazine a while back and I was thinking it might be just the thing to share with you midweek.
ever yours,

Over the weekend, I caught this commercial for the new Chevrolet Cruze.
The 30-second spot shows the Chevy prowling the streets of Chicago on the hunt for its rival, the Honda Civic. Cinematic in approach, the commercial shows the Cruze cruising around some Chicago landmarks, including the Marina City parking ramps and the EL. That 24hr coin laundry sign at 0:09 looks familiar, but I can't place it. The shot of the car passing through a sliver of space between two buildings near South Water and Michigan at 0:13 is pretty cool, as is the part when the lights go out on the Art Deco marquee at Park Ridge's Pickwick Theater.
The tag line, "We're going hunting; it's Civic season," ain't bad either.

It doesn't really look anything like a typical dance club. For starters, the lights are on, blazing. They serve zero, zip, when it comes to beverages. And it only happens on Sunday nights.
But Battle Groundz, on 87th just east of Stony Island in Chatham, isn't a very typical place. This is where a good bunch of Chicago's hardcore footwoorkers -- from the South Side, the West Side, the suburbs, even a few stragglers from the North Side -- come to practice, compete, and hang out.
"I think of footworking as hyper tap dancing," explains Maurice Fulson, 31, who started Battle Groundz two years ago in the empty front room of an insurance office, in a space donated by a sympathetic friend. Since he first opened, the floor tiles have been nearly worn through from all the sliding, jumping, skimming, popping, tapping and slamming involved.
"There are different types of spins, combos and crossovers," says Fulson, a father of five who makes a full-time living from coaching and teaching footworking.

Why is Quantum of Solace rated PG-13?
Official MPAA Rating: Quantum of Solace is rated PG-13 for for intense sequences of violence and action, and some sexual content.
Rapid-fire editing and an aggressive car chase open this film and set the tone for what's to come. More chases, shootings, stabbings and hand-to-hand conflicts continue throughout the film and although the carnage isn't explicit, we do see blood at times. During some violent scenes, many secondary characters or "innocent bystanders" would be presumed killed or injured as a result of Bond's determination to bring about justice. In a photograph we see a person's mutilated face. A body is seen floating in water. Sexual activities engaged in by an unmarried couple are heavily implied (we see them in bed afterward, apparently naked but no details are shown), however a third character explains the negative consequences of these behaviors. A murdered woman is found naked and covered in oil (she is shown lying on her front). A woman is about to be raped, but the act is interrupted. Some female characters wear revealing clothing. Profanities are infrequent, but include one scatological term, a handful of mild expletives and one Christian term of Deity. Frequent social drinking is portrayed and in one scene a principal character attempts to escape from stress by drinking heavily. A comment is made about the availability of drugs.

Filling judges' seats could take months
White House must replace two local U.S. judges
CORPUS CHRISTI - It could take months to fill the vacancy on the federal bench when U.S. District Judge Janis Graham Jack retires in June.
It's been nearly a year since U.S. District Judge Hayden Head's seat on the federal bench opened when he took senior status.
How quickly either judge will see declines in their workloads is up to the Democrat-controlled White House, U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison and John Cornyn and the Texas House delegation including U.S. Rep. Solomon Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi.
The usual process for naming a federal judge has U.S. senators from a state with a bench opening recommending potential nominees to the president.
Because Hutchison and Cornyn are Republicans, and President Barack Obama is a Democrat, the process in South Texas is slower. House Democrats including Ortiz, D-Corpus Christi, said they would lead the process regarding federal appointments.
Hutchison and Cornyn, as home-state senators have the right to block nominees they don't agree with in the Senate Judiciary Committee, where Cornyn also is a member.
In June, House Democrats came up with a shortlist to replace Head that includes local district judges Nanette Hasette and Nelva Gonzales Ramos and 13th Court of Appeals Justice Dori Contreras Garza.
The Texas senators have not released a list, so it's unclear whether any of the three women still are under consideration.
"The senators will be interviewing candidates (Wednesday) and Thursday for Judge Head's vacancy and look forward to recommending to the White House the most qualified candidate from the pool," said Cornyn's spokeswoman Jessica Sandlin in an e-mail. "Our ongoing agreement is that the White House does not move forward until it has received the senators' recommendations."
Cornyn's office is aware that Jack intends to take senior status, Sandlin said.
A decision on the process for filling her seat hasn't been made.

Who would have thought that just over a month ago that the savior of the bullpen would have been the disgraced Jose Valverde. His return to the Tigers pen has allowed for guys to return to traditional and more defined roles which has provided stability to the end of close games. Pitchers are creatures of habit. They do their best when they know when they will be pitching in games and what type of situation the manager will trust them in. When you go into a game not knowing if your going to be pitching the 6th inning or the 9th, you aren't prepared to be successful. You have seen increases in performance from Joaquin Benoit and Drew Smyly. Joaquin Benoit: Since Valverde's Return: 4 IP, 2 hits, 1 earned run, 1 walk, 5 strikeouts, 2.25 ERA Prior to Valverde's Return: 10.1 IP, 6 hits, 2 earned runs, 5 walks, 9 strikeouts, 1.74 ERA His control has dramatically improved, cutting down his average number of pitches per inning from 17.1 to 14.5, which is a big deal for being able to pitch o...

if you are looking for a great guy... i am here
Don't even know where to start...I guess I just did. Figured I would give this a try. If you are looking for a great guy who is exactly the way he presents himself then I am your guy. And to answer the "why haven't you been married question" I was in two long relationships that were terrific and wanted to get married, but things didn't work because of geography or careers. I still want to find a great life partner. So yes I know how to be in a committed relationship :). But it certainly is a valid question to ask! I enjoy many different things..music, concerts, sports, sailing, the beach, movies, food, parties.... I love to make people laugh. Seldom do I miss the humor in a situation or someone's comment. I take the right things in life seriously and don't stress over the little things. My friends tell me I laugh and smile all the time. I don't really know I'm doing it, but it's part of my nature. I'm passionate about my friends, their kids, I love kids and enjoy the family dynamic of being around them. If you are looking for someone who is smart, funny, motivated, dedicated and full of life.. that would be me. I am looking for the same thing. Chemistry is so hard to define, but having that connection with someone is important. I'm hoping to meet a woman who can make me laugh, make me think, make me smile when I see her calling. I was a golf professional out of college and I switched to sports marketing, then worked as a sports agent and now back to sports marketing. The simplest things in life bring me great happiness. I have a 14 year old niece who lights up my life when I see her. She's amazing. My Dad, who is the greatest guy in the world, showed me what hard work leads to, what kindness to others brings and, most importantly, what dedication to your family creates. So...what is your story?

Finding that great unknown restaurant or dive bar. Love to travel when its not work related. Hawaii and Ireland are favorites. London was amazing. I went to Zurich, Prague and Vienna and Prague is my new favorite city. Incredible.
Love to try new places. Like all different kinds of food. Rainy day? Open the windows and chill on the couch. A great band at the Grouper is a good way to end the weekend.
I love a little bit of everything. Tennis, Basketball, Beach Volleyball, Golf, snow skiing, movies, music, concerts, the beach and the ocean.
High Fidelity, great book, Steve Jobs, fascinating. Lone Survivor was really good. Keith Richards autobiography. Everything from the Times, to the occasional trash and tons of sports stuff, it's my business.
