ALHAJI Muhammad Alkali who contested the governorship seat in Jigawa State has maintained that the ANPP heavily rigged the election to deny him a well deserved victory. He has vowed that he would not relent in challenging the results of the gubernatorial election in the state until 'justice is seen to be done'. He is among those expected to file their case at the tribunal ...Habib Yakoob spoke with him at the PDP secretariat, Abuja.
You were defeated at the gubernatorial election in Jigawa State...
No, please, I was not defeated, do not use that word. One could only be defeated if there was an election.-a free and fair elections for that matter. But what we had in Jigawa State was not an election- there was no contest either; but a superimposition of one person using, this time around, the state machinery to perpetuate himself in power. To be specific, the election in the state was fraught with high level irregularities; there were rampant riggings. Therefore whatever was declared as the result of that election; and whoever was declared as the winner of that election could not have been valid.
In what specific ways were the election rigged?
We have concluded arrangements to take our case to the constituted authority and contest the validity of the election results. And we shall put before it all our facts.
But you alleged rigging, tell us where and how this took place.
You are not a law court; you are a journalist, so you can find that out yourself.
What makes you confident that you would have won the election under a free and fair contest?
Yes, as I have always said there was no way the PDP would have lost under a free and fair contest. Look at the state for instance, it is largely PDP- in the sense that in 1999 when we contested we won about 18 of the 27 local government areas then. And out of this number, 10 were from my senatorial zone where the incumbent governor comes from. Then he won only 2. And since this administration came into power the people of the state have become more indifferent to his administration. The governor was becoming more and more unpopular, which explains why under a free and fair election we would have carted away the votes we had in 1999 and also many other ones in the state. Besides we had mounted serious campaign in virtually all the local government areas of the state, and the people of the state were genuinely thrilled about our programmes and philosophy. Again, take a look at the large sum of money- over N40 billion pushed by this administration to the government of Jigawa State and what you have is nothing on the ground. These people are not ignorant of all these facts, so how do you imagine that same government that has been so useless to them now having their whole votes? The only sure and realistic factor here is that of rigging. And do you know that all the time we were busy campaigning, he (Turaki) was busy doing something else. He never actually campaigned.
Surprisingly, the people of the state who you claimed did not actually give the incumbent governor their votes are not protesting; they seem to have taken the result in good faith.
Yes, if you know my people very well, you will believe that they are not likely to engage in something like a violent protest in asking for their rights. They are particularly very peaceful people. But then, the fact that you do not see them in wild protest does not explain that they have accepted the results in good faith. Among them actually are those who are highly uncomfortable and could do anything too. By and large we have been trying to calm them down, preaching to them the gospel of learning not to take the law into their own hands. And they have been listening. For us we believe in the supremacy of justice and we are going to pursue this case until justice is seen to be effectively done.
In the 1999 gubernatorial election, Alhaji Sule Lamido of the PDP protested the results of that election, claiming it was rigged by Governor Ibrahim Saminu Turaki.Here you are, also of the PDP claiming the elections were rigged by the same person accused four years ago. What is actually wrong...?
There is something wrong actually. And it has to do with the inordinate desire of a governor to lead a people who do not like him, at all cost. What you hear me saying is not fundamentally different from what obtained in 1999.If there is any difference it is in the degree that these irregularities we are talking about was carried out. Then a governor wanted to taste power at all cost, for the first time; and he did anything to get it. Now he has tasted power, seen what it means and wanted reelection at all cost, to the extent that any opposition in the name of PDP was intimidated and cheated out. The difference is not much.
And are you sure you won't have the same rigging thing you are alleging repeated in the Saturday State Assembly elections?
Honestly we should be disturbed about that. You can be sure in any case that a government desperate to remain in power could do anything to stay, and the Saturday election may not be different. But we don't have to relent; we have been carrying out a campaign asking our people not to allow themselves to be used for this kind of perfidy any longer. Our hope is in God. I do not think the PDP in Jigawa really believes in rigging itself to power. We always cash in on the goodwill of the people of the state. And if the level of illegality we had during that voting repeats itself in subsequent elections, we shall not relent in asking the court to take control.
What happens if the court throws this case of yours away for want of evidence?
There is an Appeal Court, isn't there? If we lose, we appeal. As I said earlier, we shall pursue the case to its logical conclusion. If we genuinely lose, we resign to fate. We shall not leave any stone unturned in the quest for justice. But the court shall prove us right.

Man I feel stupid.
I have been taking daily vitamins for years and did a good amount of research before deciding on Rainbow Light prenatals. I was even taking additional folic acid and vitamin D for the first 6 weeks or so just to be sure I had all my vitamins covered - doc said that was unnecessary.
But my lack of attention to detail struck again. I have been taking just one prenatal a day while the serving size is six. Just realized my error. I'm 14 weeks 2 days. I feel like such an ass. Please calm me down. Prenatal vitamins are one of the most important parts of prenatal nutrition. I feel like I really blew it.

Move Over Geocaching; Make Room for Edu-caching
By Ravi Kumar on November 29, 2011
Domestic, K-12, Level, Mergers & Acquisitions, Publishers & Curriculum, Required, Startups, STEM, Technology
Educaching, is a GPS based curriculum for educators that Geomate.jr would like you to believe learning is like treasure hunting or geocaching.
"The curriculum combined with the Geomate.jr guides teachers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) based, GPS scavenger hunts that engage students in teamwork, problem solving, critical thinking and exercise in a fun learning environment," said Jason Hubbard, teacher and author of the Educaching GPS based curriculum.
Watch the video about Educaching.
The new Educaching curriculum has teacher training and development, twenty out of the box lesson plans, student assessment sheets and more hands-on after school activities using the Geomate.jr receivers.
Teachers will be able to create their own private geocaches and they will be able to select who has access to those geocaches. These private caches are called Custom Caches. Teachers will be able to update the content and can add their own geocache locations into any Geomate.jr.
"The teaching manual contains lesson plans of varying skill levels," Hewerdine explained. "The applicable standards covered are highlighted in each lesson plan and are specifically designed to assist teachers with fulfilling their district's achievement requirements for students." Sample lesson plans can be downloaded from either www.educaching.com or www.mygeomate.com, and both have agreed to offer educational discounts for school kit purchases.

"Cures more wonderful than your own will take place on this spot."
Welcome to the Rhoda Wise House and Grotto.
We are owned by Rhoda Wise Shrine, Inc., a 501c3 nonprofit corporation organized to preserve the legacy of Rhoda Wise, mystic and stigmatic.
May these pages strengthen your faith in the profound love to be found in the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ for each one of us.
Our Mission Statement:
To participate in the New Evangelization of the Catholic Church by promoting and preserving the legacy of the mystic and stigmatic, Rhoda Wise, with particular attention to her devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, St. Therese, the Little Flower, and the Holy Rosary.
The Informal Preliminary Investigation has ended!
See the News Page for the update from the Diocese!
"You want to know about the grotto. It must be built. I tell you again. It will be the beginning of
wonderful things that will happen."
During my long stay in the hospital, I, a Protestant, became interested in the Rosary and had one of the Sisters teach me how to say it. Soon after, I learned about St. Theresa, the Little Flower of Jesus, and became greatly devoted to her, making one novena after another to her. I then felt myself drawn to the Catholic Church and after being instructed by Monsignor Habig, the pastor of St. Peter's Church, I was received into the church by him on January 1st, 1939.

Hometown: San Diego, CA (USA)
In the life of Nathan Williams, the year of 2009 will go down as both a highlight reel and a total shit show. Meteorically, feverishly and somewhat improbably, two albums worth of naïve punk rock he recorded behind his parents' San Diego home as Wavves became a sensation in the world of indie music. As a result, passports got filled, capers got pulled off and lots of good things got said about the music in both print and digital ink, plus in actual human voices. At the same time, fights got fought, situations got hairy and people got indignant and mean.

Judging by the ticket sales, the Cedar Key Sharks should be looking good when they take to the field this fall.
That's because the community responded to a call to buy fried fish dinners supplied by the fishermen of Cedar Key and Robinson Seafood on Monday.
Eve Robinson staffed the front desk taking money for dinners and tickets for meals pre-sold by the cheerleaders. "They have sold a lot of tickets," she said fanning out the checks and cash the girls collected.
Mark Johnson is leaving as director of Emergency Management to take a job as an emergency planner for the Department of Health in Bronson, moving just a few blocks away.
On Friday, the Emergency Management Department hosted a farewell party for Johnson, who shared part of a huge cake with Undersheriff Brett Beauchamp.
Johnson will be replaced in the interim by John MacDonald, his assistant director, and Letha Keene, emergency management planner.
During summer break, many kids from throughout the County participate in the Florida 4H camping program led by Mr. Albert Fuller.
The program helps develop life skills in youth through experiential education. This week's 4H group was a smaller than usual, group of 97 kids aged 8-16. The students were learning fishing skills at the Public Safety Complex (PSC) on Monday, June 29. Mr. Fuller contacted LCDPS Director David Knowles for approval to fish out of the pond located in front of the Public Safety Complex. The kids had a great time catching several fish.
The county's auditor, Martha Garcia-Baker of Carr, Riggs & Ingram, told the Levy County Commission that its finances have been given the best grade possible but it needs to be aware that General Fund expenditures are more than General Fund revenues.
However, the commission has no worries, Garcia-Baker said, because it has money in other funds that can be shifted to pay the bills, so the county is not running in the red. "We had the money to cover it," said Commission Chair John Meeks of Bronson.
Levy County Department of Public Safety employees took time out to build comradery on Saturday, June 27.
This is the fifth year Director Knowles has worked with staff to provide time for crew members to relax and enjoy each other's company without having to worry about receiving emergency calls.
The event helps bring employees and their families together for food and fun. This year, members gathered at the Cedar Key Beach where Director Knowles provided a water slide for the kids and adults to play on.
A last-minute plea invoking God failed to move the Levy County Commission as it unanimously passed new restrictions on where sex offenders and predators can reside and move about.
The plea was made by Vanessa Thomas of Williston in a public hearing on the ordinance that limits residence to no more than two sex criminals at a time in a home, and bars the home from being located near places where children gather and limits offenders and predators from being in or loitering in areas where children gather.
The head of Meridian Behavioral Healthcare says her agency is seeing an increase in the number of patients in Levy County who are under age 5 and that 25 percent of the patients they treat are school-age.
In addition, she said the agency has seen a 26 percent increase in the use of its service in the acute care programs-emergency screening, inpatient crisis stabilization and detox.

Re: 260GTX nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3 - powermizer issue
Ok, so this new driver works, but with some odd quirks. When I first installed the driver, running on AC power, I found that PowerMizer reported the 4 performance levels on my GTX 285M as being all the same except the first level. The first level was correctly reported as 200 MHz NV clock speed and 120 MHz memory clock speed; however, the other 3 performance levels were 600 MHz and 1000 MHz respectively. When I changed to battery power, I found that all the levels had changed. The highest performance level was incorrectly reported as level 2. Interestingly enough, the performance mode is stuck on Maximum performance and no adaptive clocking was present, until I made a modification in the xorg.conf file. I added Option "RegistryDwords" "PowerMizerLevel=0×3" to the Device section. While this forces operation at the lowest levels, it does not behave as it used to on other computers I have worked on. Instead, it engages the adaptive clocking and scales correctly according to usage, although performance mode still says maximum performance. However, each time it scales, the performance level speeds are changed and incorrectly reported. Another oddity is that nvidia-settings reports the speed as being maximum at 600 MHz and 1000 MHz; however, nvclock does not, it reports speeds for both around 450 MHz. I question what the actually speeds are as neither program appears to be functioning completely correctly under this new driver. However, I can report that I am attaining higher clock speeds with this new driver than with previous ones, I just don't know if it is truly maximizing my graphics card. I have attached an nvidia bug report. Thank you!

BlackBerry PlayBook launch event in Singapore
Update (15 June): My review of the BlackBerry PlayBook is out.
The BlackBerry PlayBook was launched with aplomb in Singapore on Wednesday evening. Designed to give uncompromising web browsing with full Adobe Flash support and "true" multitasking, RIM is billing its first tablet as a enterprise-ready performance-grade tablet. I've had the opportunity to try out the PlayBook for about a week now, and I shall reserve my comments in my review; suffice enough to say that I like it.
Before going on to the pictures I took of the event, below are some key points for those eager to get hold of the PlayBook in Singapore
- Singapore is the first country in Asia where the PlayBook is launched (Note that this is not related to availability of stocks; see below)
- PlayBook will be available for customers in Singapore "within the month" of June
- Pre-registration for the PlayBook started as of 9th June, 2011
- A comprehensive list of retailers will be updated at http://sg.blackberry.com/playbook/wheretobuy
- No RRP was announced yet, though it is probably safe to say that you can use the US price of US$499 (16GB), US$599 (32GB) and US$699 (64GB) multiplied by the current exchange rate as an accurate gauge. Remember to add in the 7% GST too.
You can read my brief hands-on with the PlayBook, or check out the U.S. PlayBook website here.Tags: BlackBerry PlayBook, BlackBerry Tablet OS, RIM, tablets

Ezra 6:2 margin. In the apocryphal books Ecbatana is frequently mentioned. Two cities named Ecbatana seem to have existed in ancient times, one the capital of northern Media--the Media Atropatene of Strabo--the other the metropolis of the larger and more important province known as Media Magna. The site of the former appears to be marked by the very curious ruins at Takht-i-Suleiman.

Natura Bisse NB Ceutical Tolerance Toner is a serum that is the answer to one of the main contributors of skin aging - Inflammation. Inflammation occurs on the visible surface and at the internal, cellular level. When this happens on the cellular level it is a low-grade inflammation that you can't see and feel. This unidentifiable cause of aging is common in most everyone. When inflammation takes place at a cellular level, it activates the skin's defense mechanism which accelerates aging. The result is wrinkles, dryness, sagginess and an overall lack of luminosity. This serum counteracts this process from happening, while also reinforcing and protecting the skin's natural barrier. It instantly soothes and moisturizes damaged tissue with its complex of 30 ingredients. It stops destruction of collagen and elastin which yields collagen production creating an anti-wrinkle/gravity effect. Hypoallergenic and paraben-free, this product has a controlled release of its ingredients to give you anti-aging benefits throughout the day.

I'm not going to lie, and I'm sure most of you know how it feels. The posts on here, the posts on facebook the new baby announcements in the mail..... "were pregnant" "guess who got it good?" "bun in the oven"
All the while I feel like , awesome. I want to punch some one in the face. That was then and this is,....well now. I have been married for 3 years. Out of those 3 I have had to losses, most recent a little boy july 2nd. (that was one 4th of july I wanted to set fireworks off at the Babies r us building) We have done the obgyn and the RE. More drugs than eminem did his whole life and injections as far as the eye can see. I always felt like crap, then to have the sad one lined test stare me in the face every month. Not to mention the fact that my poor husband had to live with this angry , upset person.
So what is different this time? I am starting a new cycle almost a year later. I have learned a lot. I am less stressed this time. I have learned to let the "announcements" roll off my back and just smile. I am more calm. WHY? because IT WILL BE MY TIME! yesterday or tomorrow. It will happen and it will for you too. I am scared. I am scared this will just be a never ending thing. That me at my age and health obstacles will never over come this. Money and pain, time with no gain. But I have to keep on trucking. Keep my self busy. So....
I guess this isn't really a post of questions, but more as a, "I hope this is my month and I will be due in NOV and you will too"

Read the news again about who gets Blue Shift, I paid for that to when I bought Silver package. The gold and silver package does say that I get Valves entire back catalog available on Steam. Since my transaction is not complete with Valve for my purchase, it only makes sense that I get Blue Shift also. The HL owners are the ones who bought the premier pak, which included Blueshift. So no, nobody got it for free, they paid for it with their packages.
Also, when I bought the silver package, HL2DM and Lost Coast were not on the list as being part of the package. So those 2 things are truly free to any owner of HL2. Nor did thier press release mention anything about them.

Del Mar allocates $2.7M for improvements
Flato, St. Clair buildings slated for renovations
Del Mar College regents Tuesday allocated $2.7 million in capital improvement bond money for building projects on the college's East and West campuses.
The Buildings and Grounds Committee of the college's Board of Regents earmarked $1.7 million for the West Campus Flato Technologies Building and $1 million for the East Campus St. Clair Science Building.
The funds come from the $108 million capital improvement bond program approved by voters in 2003. After funds were spent or allocated on promised projects such as the West Campus Health Sciences and Emerging Technology Complex and the East Campus Richardson Performance Hall, officials announced in early March that $7.4 million remained and had yet to be allocated on additional projects.
Del Mar building planner Bill Wilson said the $7.4 million was made available through efficient spending on planned projects.
"Work on St. Clair will primarily involve converting it from a science-laboratory building to a general classroom building," Wilson said. "(Flato construction) will basically be a complete renovation of the second floor, and conversion of labs for cosmetology instruction."
Construction on the St. Clair building will begin next spring, Wilson said, with the building being ready for occupancy by spring 2009. Construction on Flato is set to begin by the end of the year, with completion planned by fall 2008. The money allocated Tuesday for the St. Clair building is in addition to $1.5 million in bond money that already was set aside for the building.
Regents last month approved $600,000 of bond money to go toward new racquetball courts on the East Campus.
Wilson said $4.1 million is left in unallocated bond money. Regents officially have not earmarked any of these funds, though regents have discussed possible improvement to East Campus music and drama facilities.

Moral Principles of Business Ethics
There are many Moral Principles of Business Ethics that people might use to guide their decisions. The one commonality that seems to override all differences is the belief that the members of a society bear some responsibility for the well – being of other members. From a systems point of view in Moral Principles of Business Ethics, we can rationalize it by noting that systems deal with relationships and processes.
As a member of a system, it is logical to suggest that to look out for oneself means to look out for one's relationships, both within the business and from a business perspective, within the larger society of which the business itself is a part.
This idea is captured in the Bible's Golden Rule: ''Do unto others as you would have them do unto you''. This is not an idealistic statement that we should try to achieve in Moral Principles of Business Ethics. We are all members of a system where relationships and interdependencies are primary defining characteristics. The Golden Rule simply reminds us that we treat others as we would like to be treated, be that for good or ill. What we do to others provides them with information they need to guide their relationship with us in the future.
If businesspeople cheat customers, they are saying that their relationship with customers is based on cheating. This is the information that customers will need to deal with these businesspeople in the future. In others words, a person who cheats invites cheating in return. Conversely, people who go out of their way to be fair are likewise inviting fairness in return. We teach others how we wish to be treated by how we treat them. The Golden Rule provides a sound rationale for taking ethical behavior seriously. This is because behaving ethically has positive personal and business consequences.
There are three principles or approaches in Moral Principles of Business Ethics that can help us gain a better sense of what is fair and ethical. These are Utilitarian, Moral Rights and Justice Approaches. Each approach has strengths and weaknesses and businesspeople can combine these ideas to help them make better ethical decisions. Business Training in Kenya has more information.
Moral Rights Approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics
This approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics emphasizes the importance of preserving the rights and liberties of an individual. Under this approach, even if a decision accomplishes the greatest good for the greatest number of people, it is unethical if it denies an individual his or her rights, e.g. right to safety, right to freedom of conscience, right to own private property, right to due process, etc. These rights are briefly explained below:
- Right to life and safety- to not to have our lives and safety unknowingly endangered.
- Right to Freedom of Conscience- to refuse to carry out orders that contradict our moral or religious beliefs.
- Right to Free Consent- to be treated as we knowingly and freely consent to be treated.
- Right to privacy- to control access to and use of information about our private lives.
- Right to Truthfulness- to not be intentionally deceived about matters about which we have a right to know.
- Right to Free Speech- to speak openly and truthfully about the ethics or legality of the actions of others.
- Right to Due process- to an impartial hearing and fair treatment when accused.
- Right to Own Private Property- to acquire, own, use and dispose of property.
Under the moral rights approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics, even if a decision accomplishes the greatest good for the greatest number of people, it is unethical if it denies an individual any of these rights.
The shortcoming of the moral rights approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics is that it can lead to self- serving behavior, particularly if people act as though they have the right to do anything they want. It can also lead to gridlock when people's rights stand in the way of progress for society.
Cooperative social actions require people to suppress their own desires at times so as to reach a mutually acceptable decision. Thinking of businesses and societies in terms of systems helps people think about the balance between individual and societal rights.
Utilitarian Approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics
Grounded in the philosophies of Jeremy Bentham and J.s. Mill, the utilitarian approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics suggests that managers should strive to provide the greatest degree of benefits (or utility) for the largest number of people for the least costs. Another way of saying this in Moral Principles of Business Ethics is that we must recognize and weigh the costs versus benefits of our actions. The utilitarian approach recognizes that some harm or costs will always result from taking any particular action. However, these costs are acceptable as long as we seek to minimize them and deliver the greatest good for the most people, not just a privileged few. Rules such as ''never tell a lie'' or ''always honor a contract'' will help businesspeople accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number and at the lowest cost if everyone acts in accordance with such rules.
In Moral Principles of Business Ethics, utilitarianism has a potential problem. It can encourage people to focus on the potential benefits to them and assume that a cost, even if it means exploiting another person, is worth those benefits. This in Moral Principles of Business Ethics is another way of saying that the ends justify the means. To help businesspeople decide where to draw the line on utilitarian approach, they should consider an approach that emphasizes the moral rights of individuals.
Justice Approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics
The justice approach in Moral Principles of Business Ethics emphasizes the equitable treatment of people and relies on concepts of equity, fairness and impartiality. The justice approach seeks to allocate resources and costs fairly. Procedural justice in Moral Principles of Business Ethics requires that managers clearly state and consistently administer the rules and established procedures of the organization and not bend the rules to serve their own interests, or to show favoritism.
For example, disciplinary actions should be administered impartially. Distributive justice requires that managers not be arbitrary and use only relevant characteristics or evidence to determine how to treat people. Thus, we should not judge people on such characteristics as race, gender, religious preferences, ethnicity or other irrelevant characteristics, but only on the actual facts of a situation entailed in Moral Principles of Business Ethics.
Conclusion on Moral Principles of Business Ethics
The justice approach embodies the democratic principle and protects the interest of those who might otherwise lack power. This does not, however, address the issue of individual rights which may be denied some people in the interest of justice. It can also create a sense of entitlement and reduce risk taking, which may reduce overall benefits and increase costs to society. These approaches define the Moral Principles of Business Ethics.

Tippecanoe County Community Corrections workers pick up branches and other debris on the grounds of the Greenbush Cemetery Tuesday, May 21, 2013, in Lafayette.
- Filed Under
The sad state of the Greenbush Cemetery is, well ... terribly sad.
The financial decline of those who oversee the cemetery, where so many of Lafayette's founders, prominent names and earliest settlers are buried, has put Fairfield Township, Lafayette and the community in a bind.
And until this week, the situation showed itself in tall grass, twisted and broken limbs, and a host of unkempt details that made the cemetery near Ninth and Greenbush streets nearly impassable to visitors and an eyesore to those driving by.
In the short term, with Memorial Day approaching, several groups rallied - including crews from Tippecanoe County Community Corrections - to do what the Greenbush Cemetery Association says it can no longer do. They collected branches and prepared what they could of the historic plot to get it ready for mowing. The effort was appropriately hasty.
After this weekend, the situation is a bit more fluid.
City and township officials, along with local historians, are weighing options to keep the blighted conditions fit for city code enforcement from becoming the standard.
"We're going to have to figure out something as a community to take care of it and get it in the condition so it is a place of rest, as it should be," Mayor Tony Roswarski told J&C reporter Chris Morisse Vizza last week. "It's a community asset."
This weekend is a good time to take stock of that community asset and figure out how to keep it up.

Junior Bridgeman Rumors
Grant Hill-Junior Bridgeman group drops out of bidding for Hawks
The Grant Hill and Junior Bridgeman-led group that had interest in buying the Atlanta Hawks has dropped out of the bidding process for the team, two people familiar with the process told USA TODAY Sports. They requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the negotiations.
Former National Basketball Association players Junior Bridgeman and Grant Hill are leading a group that will bid on the Atlanta Hawks, according to a person with direct knowledge of the situation. They've hired New York-based advisory firm Galatioto Sports Partners to explore a purchase, said the person, who requested anonymity because the matter is private. Hill didn't immediately return an e-mail seeking comment. Sal Galatioto, founder of Galatioto Sports Partners, declined to comment.
The Bucks are inching closer to adding several minority owners with Green Bay Packers superstar quarterback Aaron Rodgers and former Bucks star Junior Bridgeman among those who have had discussions with Bucks co-owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens. Craig Leipold, the Minnesota Wild owner from Racine, has been speculated as another possible minority owner although that isn't likely to happen.
Ulysses "Junior" Bridgeman is seriously contemplating returning to the Milwaukee Bucks. Bridgeman, who enjoyed a 10-year playing career for the Bucks from the mid 1970s until the mid '80s, could be returning to the organization as an owner. Bridgeman, in a telephone interview Friday from his home in Louisville, Ky., said he recently met with new Bucks co-owners Marc Lasry and Wes Edens about joining their ownership group. "They offered me an invitation to meet with them so I took them up on it," Bridgeman said. "We met at their offices in New York and had a good conversation.
It's no secret former Bucks guard Ulysses "Junior" Bridgeman is interested in being part of a new Bucks ownership. Bridgeman, whose No. 2 jersey has been retired by the Bucks, is the president of Bridgeman Foods LLC. His company owns and operates more than 160 Wendy's restaurants in the United States.
Former Bucks star Junior Bridgeman was in Milwaukee on Saturday to be honored by the franchise on his bobblehead night. But there was another reason for all the media interest in his appearance. Bridgeman was identified in a Journal Sentinel story last week as a potential investor in the franchise as owner Herb Kohl searches for additional ownership partners. Bridgeman said he was not able to discuss his interest because of his involvement with a group that has a partial stake in the Sacramento Kings. "Because I'm involved with another franchise, they have some rules against those things," Bridgeman said. "So I can't even touch it without having my tongue cut out." But Bridgeman, who played for the Bucks from 1975 through 1987 and has gone on to a successful career in the fast-food business, did say he is sizing up the situation.
Billups began thinking about life after basketball when he was 31. He earned his business degree from Colorado, and met Bridgeman during a charity basketball game in Denver. The two talked shop and formed a friendship. Now, Billups has something to fall back on. "I don't put my name on anything I don't know about," Billups said. "I want to be able to go through all my stores and see what is out of place. What is going wrong? I want to know how they prepare sandwiches and walk around and make sure everybody is having a good experience. "That is what I am learning how to do and I am going to do it better every time I go there."
Imagine pulling up to a Wendy's drive-thru and giving your order to "Mr. Big Shot." That's possible if you go to one of 30 St. Louis area Wendy's owned by Pistons guard Chauncey Billups and former NBA player Junior Bridgeman. Bridgeman, whose net worth of $240 million exceeds that of Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, has had a profound influence on Billups. Not so much on the court as off it. "I was in my prime, but I started thinking about what am I going to do (after basketball)," said Billups, who entered this season with hopes of being an everyday starter before "Father Time" started catching up. (He has played in 18 of 41 games, averaging 3.9 points and 2.2 assists.)
Junior Bridgeman, a former NBA star with the Milwaukee Bucks who forged a highly successful career in the fast-food industry, has emerged as a potential investor in the Milwaukee Bucks. A source with knowledge of Herb Kohl's efforts to bring in new investors to the Milwaukee Bucks as a way of keeping the team in Milwaukee, said Bridgeman, one of the wealthiest African-Americans in the country, has been approached about investing in the team, and he expressed interest.
Louisville businessman and former NBA star Junior Bridgeman has joined current NBA player Chauncey Billups in the purchase of 30 St. Louis restaurants from Wendy's Co. As the St. Louis Business Journal reported, the deal continues Bridgeman's long-term relationship with the Wendy's chain but marks a foray into the restaurant industry for Billups, a veteran guard who now plays for the Detroit Pistons.
"Chauncey Billups and I are excited about our partnership in the Wendy's system," Bridgeman said. "We have a tremendous opportunity in the St. Louis market, and our goal is to build upon the positive momentum and growth that the Wendy's brand is currently experiencing."
Bridgeman is not flashy. The 6'5" former small forward/shooting guard is more comfortable out of the limelight than in it. Perhaps because there wasn't 24/7 media attention when he played from 1975 to 1987, Bridgeman was a hard-won cover story for Franchise Times (Notice who's on the cover – it's not him). "He's one of those E.F. Hutton types," his wife says. "He's relatively quiet so when words of wisdom come out of his mouth, people listen."
But Bridgeman just laughed. Perhaps, it's because the last laugh really is his. He owned that particular Wendy's plus several others. Today his company runs 162 Wendy's and 121 Chili's and is No. 3 on the Restaurant Finance Monitor's Top 200 franchisee-owned companies, with $507 million in revenue. In addition, he has other restaurant deals in the works. And while nothing beats the high of winning a game at the very top competitive level, he says giving jobs to people and watching them develop is heart-warming, if not exactly heart-thumping. "He'd always say each day, each opportunity was like a brand-new game," his wife of 34 years, Doris Bridgeman, says about the restaurant business. "I knew his heart wasn't in staying in athletics. I knew he wanted to be his own boss."
After a celebrated career with the Milwaukee Bucks and Los Angeles Clippers, Junior Bridgeman was working the line at a Wendy's fast- food restaurant in Milwaukee. "My job was to make sure what you ordered was on your tray and to thank you for coming," he told an assembled group of active and retired professional athletes hosted by the Allied Athletes Group earlier this year in Atlanta. "A woman came in and looked at me like she recognized me." He didn't think anything about it until the next day, when he heard a woman call into a local talk show and say, "I think it's a shame. I was at the Wendy's and I saw Junior Bridgeman working behind the counter … if that's the best these ex-athletes can do…"

The clientele enjoy participating in the affluent ambiance that the music projects.
She now makes over 50 different styles of sandals, and says her clientele now roughly consists of half men and half women.
"Naomi and I are quite close," said Williams, who has since added Suki Waterhouse and Emily Mortimer as clientele.
1560s, "body of professed adherents," from French clientèle (16c.), from Latin clientela "relationship between dependent and patron, body of clients," from clientem (nominative cliens; see client). Meaning "customers, those who regularly patronize a business or professional" is from 1857, perhaps a reborrowing from French (it was used in English in italics as a foreign word from 1836).

What drives me nuts, there is a market for looking after the analogue market in Canada, it's just Henry's and Vistek just don't care to serve that market.
I do think a Blue Moon Camera like store could survive nicely in Toronto and do a tidy mail order business. Eight Elm's Achilles heel was the out of the way location being steps away from University on Elm St. and not raising awareness amongst the local photography community. An active FB presence like Glass Key Photo out of SF does would go a long way to build a following and in turn regular customers.

Cher Artist Bio and Lyrics
Cher was born on May 20, 1946 under the name, Cheryl Sarkisian LaPeire. Throughout her career, she has won many prestigious awards such as three Golden Globes, a Grammy, and an Oscar.
Cher's first album of the 1980s was Black Rose but the album was generally unsuccessful, only selling about 400,000 copies worldwide. Her next album in 1982, I Paralyze, followed suit commercially. The album is however considered by Cher fans to be her most underrated album.
Finally, in 1987 Cher released a self-titled album and it broke through climbing to number 32 in the US and 26 in the UK. The album sold more than 7 million copies worldwide. The album contained singles such as, "Bang Bang," "I Found Someone," and "We All Sleep Alone."
In 1989 Cher released another successful album, but this album was successful on a more worldwide basis. The album, Heart Of Stone, reached number 10 in the US, 7 in the UK, 19 in Germany and 11 in Norway. The album sold almost 11 million copies. Heart Of Stone included one of Cher's most notable songs, "If I Could Turn Back Time," which was a number three single on the US Hot 100.
Random 80's Artist
Berlin -Berlin's next single, "Sex," was banned by many radio stations due to its graphic lyrics. Many people considered it a hit anyway. The single appeared on the EP, Pleasure Victim, released in 1982. The EP also featured the hit, "The Metro," which would be covered by many bands such as System of a Down decades later....

Get ready for a lightbulb moment!
We are shining the spotlight on a famous face that has been working behind the scenes at the Oprah Winfrey Network, albeit not quietly.
For years, veteran actor D.B. Sweeney has been lending his booming celebrity voice to various OWN promotional packages during commercial breaks.
The New York native—who calls on viewers to tune into brand new shows, season premieres, and other programming—orginally got his start on Broadway, but is best known for his lead role in the early '90s rom-com The Cutting Edge.
PHOTOS: Check out these hot men of advertising!
As the thesp-turned-voiceover talent explains in the clip above, he never thought he'd work in voiceover due to his "very strong Long Island accent."
Even so, the advice he was given early in his career: "Kid, you're very good, but you don't look like you're from New York so you can't sound like you're from New York," helped him lose the sound of his hometown and land gigs with Coca-Cola, the NFL network and now, the OWN founder once called "the pinnacle of the entertainment universe."
All-new Oprah: Where Are They Now? episodes air Sundays at 9 p.m. on OWN.
