Clinton is a village in Summit County, Ohio, United States. The population was 1,214 at the 2010 Census. It is part of the Akron Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Clinton was formerly known as Warwick, and that name is still used for the rail junction.
The village was laid out in 1816. Growth accelerated upon the arrival of the Ohio and Erie Canal. The arrival of the railroad in the 1880s, put the canal, which was then in need of costly repairs, out of business. A major flood in 1913 required that the remaining canal locks be destroyed.
Clinton is located at 40°55′24″N 81°37′59″W / 40.92333°N 81.63306°W (40.923388, -81.633088),[6] along the Tuscarawas River.[7]

Good firepit for the price
Dylan from Alpharetta, GA – Verified Buyer
Great looking firepit that's easy to assemble. The grip ring around the rim is a nice feature that not all similarly priced pits have. Definitely put some sand in the bottom to protect any surfaces below the pit. The biggest downside is that not much air seems to get in through the sidewalls, making it a bit challenging to get enough oxygen to keep a healthy fire going given how deep it is.
Donna from Willington, CT – Verified Buyer
Have not used this yet, but we are happy with the quality of materials, and the ease of assembly. Nice to look at and is perfect size for our patio. The fact that the spark screen, poker and cooking grate are included is an added bonus! As mentioned in other reviews, it would have been nice to have a pre-drilled hole in the bottom for drainage, but we plan to drill one ourselves. Very happy with this purchase!
Great value and the bonus cooking grate makes this a perfect set up.
Lori from Benson, NC – Verified Buyer
I bought this as a gift for my parents and they had it set up and used it within 24 hours of receiving! It is a nice weight and sturdy fire pit. This is absolutely the best deal in fire pits with the fire screen and bonus cooking grate. it is a very heavy cooking grate and perfect for making dinner after enjoying a warm fire. Highly recommend this product if you are in the market for a fire pit.
Hard to assemble
Sarah from Renton, WA – Verified Buyer
Very happy with the finished product. Arrived fast, the quality is great, but we had a very hard time assembling the ring that goes around the top of the pit. I'm not sure if it was warped from the shipping, or just defective, but it took a lot of effort to fit the ring together. Overall though, it looks just like the picture, and it works great!
What I was looking for
Paul from Vallejo, CA – Verified Buyer
Easy to put together. Nice color for us, works with our back yard. The product is sturdy. I forgot to get a cover when I ordered it, I would suggest you order the cover at the same time to save cost of shipping. You will need to buy a bag of play sand. The sand is needed for the bottom of the unit, need only 8 to 10 pounds. A bag of play sand is 50lbs. and inexpensive Great unit for the price.
Sharp looking fire pit
Angie from Brenham, TX – Verified Buyer
Sharp, classic design brings a touch of elegance to our patio. The pit is only big enough for about 4 adults to sit around but absolutely gorgeous when lit! Easy assembly but I recommend drilling a hole in bottom for drainage.
Price and function
Christine from Seattle, WA – Verified Buyer
It works fine for the price... The metal is not heavy duty but works fine for our lifestyle of occasional use.
Great fire pit
Anya from Cleveland, Ohio – Verified Buyer
The fire pit is great.so far it is very sturdy. There needs to be a drained hole for the bottom. Because we had so much rain. It's very hard to dump over for the water.but we it had to dump the water from it on it's side. We just hope the person don't have this problem. But it's still holding up the great fire pit. Thanks so much.we hope you improve this by doing the drained hole or holes for water to drain.thank you for the wonderful fire pit.
Perfect year 'round!
Susan from Norwalk, CT – Verified Buyer
I'm a big fan of fire pits (s'mores anyone??). Great piece for entertaining..... Adds warmth in cooler temps, detracts bugs in summer. Nice size. Can easily fit a good number of people around it. Depth fits solid amount of wood and seems pretty safe.
Really like this
Mary from Florence, AZ – Verified Buyer
It was easy to assemble all by myself...and I'm an older senior. Haven't had a chance to use it yet as summer is here and I live in S. AZ I am looking forward to our winter weather which starts in November. It will be fun to gather around. Pros: Easy to assemble and a nice size Cons: none

Hi everyone. I haven't been updating very often because I moved to New York and I'm not going to book sales as frequently.
I'll be spending more time back in Maine during the next few months, so I'll (finally) be adding new things to the shop (and this blog) again.
Before that happens, I'm going to have a sale on all of the books that are already in the shop.
Enter "SALETIME" when you check out to get 35% off your order.
Here are some of my favorite books that are (as of now) still available (just click on the image to go to the listing)...

Originally written on Puck Drunk Love | Last updated 2/5/13
As the momentum from the United States' triumph at the World Junior Championships spilled over into the start of an abbreviated NHL season, there was much ado about Anaheim Ducks 2011 second-rounder John Gibson. Gibson, who carried the Americans to gold in Ufa, was extended an invitation to Ducks camp and widely seen as the goaltender of the future in Anaheim. As for the present? Incumbent Jonas Hiller entered the season with a stern grip on the starting job, and no apparent challengers. Enter Viktor Fasth. The Ducks inked the two-time Elitserien Goaltender of the Year award winner to a one-year, $1 million contract over the summer to take some pressure off Hiller, who played a franchise-high 73 games in 2011-12. The widely unknown 30-year-old stepped onto a North American rink for the first time in his career for the Norfolk Admirals, playing three games prior to his call-up on January 21. In his first three NHL starts, he's a perfect 3-0 with a .938 save percentage. Those games haven't been lacking excitement, either. His first start in the NHL came down to a shootout, in which he had to stop Nashville's David Legwand to preserve a victory: After shutting down Zach Parise and the Minnesota Wild with 26 saves in a 3-1 win, Fasth did the same on the road against the NHL's hottest team in San Jose. Meanwhile, Hiller has allowed four or more goals in three of his first five starts. He hasn't lost his job just yet, but Fasth's play of late has given head coach Bruce Boudreau something to think about. It is a bit surprising it took Fasth so long to catch on with an NHL team, given the run of recent success of goaltenders coming out of Elitserien, such as Henrik Lundqvist and Niklas Backstrom. But with Gibson waiting in the wings, what is Fasth's future in Anaheim? The Ducks have Hiller signed through 2013-14, so for now Fasth may simply be showcasing his talents for his impending free agency this summer. Goaltenders like Jimmy Howard and Mike Smith are likely to be retained by their current franchises, which leaves the market somewhat thin. Fellow countryman Backstrom would be the most proven option, assuming the Wild don't retain him first, but if Fasth continues his hot play, he won't be out of work for long - if at all. [follow]

Kuwait Times - 01 May, 2012 Author: Mubarak Bin Shafi Al-Hajri "Damn your mother…I'll show you, you coward, you are silly. Damn your parent, you dog. Damn your mother. You are a servant, you monkeys!" These words were not uttered by a bunch of children fighting outside a primary school at the end of a school day. These were said by a group of men that supposedly represent the nation in Parliament! Do these people really represent the nation? If the answer is yes, then we are a nation that does not deserve, understand or are fit for democracy. The Parliament is not a playground for children, gentlemen, where people can call each other names. It is a place for the elite – those who are exponents in science, culture, manners and knowledge of the nation's demands and requirements. Are these so-called parliamentarians part of our elite group? Do we make wise choices? Do they really reflect our real image? The entire region is on top of a volcano of problems while our MPs are calling each other names and cursing each others' mothers. Kuwait is regressing, acting childishly! In fact, we are responsible for this state and should take a part of the blame because we place our own group, party, sect or tribe interests ahead of those of Kuwait. Therefore, we have lost ourselves and our democracy. We voted for those we thought were adult enough to represent us. Unfortunately, they failed us and proved unworthy of our trust. We are always complaining about deterioration of services in Kuwait without realizing that we contributed to it . I personally, do not believe Arab nations can be democratic, and this belief is growing stronger by watching the practices of our lawmakers. I am right about this! I wonder where such childish practices are leading us to, but I'm sure that the results won't be good for Kuwait.

Former 49er Shawna Gordon Set to Continue Professional Career in Sweden
July 29, 2014
LONG BEACH - Long Beach State women's soccer alum Shawna Gordon will continue her professional playing career in Sweden as she has signed a contract with Umea IK FF.
Gordon is scheduled to land in Umea, Sweden, today and will join the team mid-season.
Gordon spent the 2014 season with the LA Blues, which recently won the W-League Championship with a 6-1 victory over the Washington Spirit Reserves in the finals on Sunday, July 27. The Blues also finished the regular season with an unblemished 12-0-0 record.
In addition, Gordon played professionally for the Western Sydney Wanderers in the Australian W-League during the 2013-14 season, and for the Boston Breakers during the inaugural season of the National Women's Soccer League. She also previously played for the Blues (formerly the Pali Blues) in 2011.
Gordon spent four years at Long Beach State (2008-11), where she led the 49ers to three Big West titles and three NCAA Tournament appearances, including an unprecedented run to the NCAA Elite Eight in 2011. She was a two-time NSCAA All-West Region pick and a three-time first-team all-conference selection. Gordon was also tabbed the 2011 Big West Midfielder of the Year. She currently ranks among the LBSU all-time top-10 career leaders in games played (89), shots (121), goals (17), assists (24) and points (58).

Ending the winter of my discontent
Opinion: Lent is over and as the frozen pipes loosen and my sewage flows freely again, I will sing alleluia this Easter season with a vigor and joy.
Opinion: Lent is over and as the frozen pipes loosen and my sewage flows freely again, I will sing alleluia this Easter season with a vigor and joy.
Easter reflection: We are the Easter people who believe that the cross transformed all suffering and pain, and the Resurrection secured eternal life.
Many of us learned in grade school religion classes that Jesus' resurrection was simply God's seal of approval on everything Jesus taught and did. So if he didn't actually rise from the dead, then the religion he founded and all the rules we learned in our catechism classes weren't binding on anyone. We'd best look for another religion.
Book review: In vignettes from young Catholics in their 20s and 30s, Hungering and Thirsting for Justice shows members of the faithful living out the Gospel with their actions.
Commentary: In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus asks God to "remove this cup." Who among us has not asked the same of God at one point?
Carroll County is a small, rural county in northern Maryland. Its local board of commissioners has become news because of its insistence on starting board meetings with prayers to Jesus.
After a federal judge ordered the board to stick with nonsectarian prayers, some council members refused. The judge's order was twice defied in prayers uttered at the beginning of subsequent board meetings.
In his essay "The Signature of Jesus," Brennan Manning passes on the story of an elderly man who meditated every morning under a big tree on the bank of the Ganges River (Multnomah Pub., 1996). One morning, after he had finished praying, the man opened his eyes and saw a scorpion floating helplessly in the water. As the scorpion washed nearer to the tree, the man quickly stretched himself out on one of the long roots that extended over the river and reached out to save the drowning creature. As soon as he touched it, the scorpion stung him. Instinctively, the man withdrew his hand.
Young Voices: I have often found myself envious of converts; as a cradle Catholic, I have never really known what it is like to live without my religion.
Bible films may be raking it in at the box office, but fewer people are reading the original and taking it seriously.
Soul Seeing: On a trip to Thailand, I encountered a praying Buddhist woman who embodied what the "praying church" is.

Why Do You Need A Gun Safe?
Many times over the last few years we all have read or heard of horrible gun accidents. The most tragic are when children get a hold of a gun. They think it's a toy and start to play with it. Either they shoot themselves or another child who is playing with them. If that should happen to you and your child shoots another child, not only is it a devastating experience for your child and the child who died, or was injured, and their family, but you can open yourself up to a life changing lawsuit.
There are other stories of people breaking into homes and stealing the owner's weapon. The criminal goes on to commit crimes with that gun and when the gun is traced back to the original owner it can cause a myriad of problems. Use your imagination.
Couple those possibilities with the fact that you might be in even more trouble if your state required you to lock up your weapon and you didn't.
Recently many states have begun to restrict gun owners from leaving their guns in the open. Those states are now requiring the gun owner to lock up their guns. And, the restrictions vary from state-to-state. And the fines and penalties are different as well.
If you are unsure whether or not your state requires you to store your handgun or other weapons in a locked safe, you can read all the federal and state laws and their particular restrictions and regulations here for your legal responsibilities.
As a responsible gun owner we know you value the safety of your family and your property but we also know you realize that part of that security involves keeping your guns away from children and people who might harm you or your loved ones. You don't want to waste your time buying something that isn't going to get the job done right the first time.
Throughout the site we've reviewed gun safes that are the best within their product line. They all have a variety of features that make for easy access, some are fireproof and some are waterproof as well. We also review several popular biometric gun safes.
We know your time is valuable so for your convenience we also created a comparison chart for a fast review of the safes on our site. Read the specifications and you can easily pick the one you think is right for you, or take a little more time and read a detailed review, or you can just go straight to the place where you can buy it at the best price. You can view the comparison chart here.

The average rating for a hearing aid center in the Gastonia area is 4.85 out of 5 stars. Here's what one of our users said about Piedmont Hearing and Balance Center, Statesville, NC. "I was referred to Dr. Richardson by my physician because I had not had a hearing evaluation in over 40 years. If you wait as long as I did I would advise that you see Dr. Richardson without delay. I was treated very professionally by the staff when i checked in and that professionalism continued with Dr. Richardson. The hearing test revealed that I needed hearing assistance. Dr. Richardson went over the results and provided the information and treatment I would need to correct my condition. We discussed using my insurance plan to find out if the devices I needed were covered and found out that they were covered without any cost to me. I have been using the Oticon hearing devices for several weeks and the results have been amazing. The devices are small, easy to use and not visible to anyone. If you need professional testing and great results visit Dr. Richardson and his assistant Jennifer to evaluate your hearing needs. " - Tony C.

Real iTunes killer: Review of Amazon's DRM-less music download store
Amazon's long awaited DRM-less music download store just hit the web, and, for a moment there, I thought it might have become vaporware. Thankfully, that didn't turn out to be the case, giving me a chance to put the store through its paces. Here's my review of the Amazon MP3 Download Store.
Amazon is going out on a limb here, offering DRM-less MP3 tracks at 256kbps at $0.89 per song. DRM-less music download stores have been done before, but they usually lack in music selection. Amazon is looking to change the music download world by giving users the opportunity to do anything they want with their music while offering a huge selection of both popular and unpopular/underground artists, but does it do this well?
Selection: What does it offer?
Because of my past experience with DRM-less music stores, I was expecting disappointment when I started searching for artists. Boy, I couldn't have been more wrong.
Amazon turned up multiple albums for nearly every artist I typed into the search box, and, for the few that it didn't find, it offered physical CDs for purchase through Amazon's traditional store.
Some of the artists I found include: Immortal Technique, Barry White, Kanye West, Sublime, Snoop Dog, NWA Minus the Bear, Psycostick, Royksopp, Sinai Beach, Yellowman, Madonna, Eminem, Paul Oakenfold, Pink Floyd, Guns N' Roses, Underoath, Maroon 5, The Rolling Stones, He is Legend, Johnny Cash, and more.
Unfortunately, and this would be expected from any download store, I was unable to find a significant amount of the much smaller bands that I listen to; however, the MP3 Download Store is still in beta form with new content being added every day. Regardless, the selection is overall impressive.
Pricing: Is it worth it?
Pricing for an individual song is $0.89 as opposed to iTunes, which offers singles at $0.99 a piece. Albums range anywhere from under two dollars to over over $20.
Generally, I found pricing to be the same as or less than what is offered in the iTunes store. For example, DJ Tiesto's Just Be goes for $6.99 on Amazon's MP3 Download Store, but it goes for $9.99 at the iTunes store. However, Paul van Dyk's Global costs $12.99 at both stores. Never did I find an album to be more expensive at the Amazon store and I wouldn't expect it as Amazon is strongly going after value.
An added benefit of downloading your music via Amazon as opposed to iTunes is the lack of DRM. Most of iTunes' music comes encoded with DRM, preventing you from using YOUR music on anything other than an iPod or the computer to which the music is registered.
iTunes music also comes in AAC format at 192kbps, a music format that is not supported on many other devices. Amazon's music comes in MP3 format at 256kps, a format that is largely supported on other devices and the higher bitrate provides for better sound quality. In fairness, I should note that Apple offers a small portion of their content DRM-free at 256kbps AAC, but that only applies to any music from the record label EMI.
The Download Experience
In order to download music via Amazon, you first have to install the Amazon download manager, which is required for albums but not for singles. The installation was really easy on my iMac, which only required a few clicks and not even a drag-and-drop to the Applications folder. I'm sure the process would have been just as easy on a Windows machine.
Similar to iTunes, Amazon lets you preview most tracks before you download them. This came in really hand as I searched for an album to purchase.
I found Pauk van Dyk's Global, tested it, and went through with the purchase. I already had an Amazon account, so all I had to do is click the "Buy MP3 album with 1-Click" and it was mine. When you purchase an album, your computer downloads a very small file. Normally, you can open this file automatically in the Amazon download manager without it touching your desktop, but I accidentally downloaded it directly to my desktop. I simply double clicked the file, and the manager opened up.
The time it took to download the songs took a bit longer than expected. I was expecting it to be just as quick as iTunes, but that was not the case. Although, faster than anything I've ever experienced downloading via P2P, the slower-than-iTunes download speed could have been attributed to my college network being on overhaul around this time of the day, mid afternoon. Either way, it took about 10-15 minutes to download Global, which consists of 10 eight minute songs. As each song finished downloading, the download manager placed the files conveniently in their correct artist and album folders in my iTunes music folder.
Here's the Deal
The Amazon MP3 Download Store is absolutely great. Even in it's beta stage I can confidently call it the best online download store – period.
Simply the fact that it offers its vast selection of music without DRM makes it better than iTunes, and iTunes doesn't stand a chance when it comes to pricing. There's also no monthly fee, a feature that gives eMusic great value but forces you to pay the fee up front every month, which could easily go to waste as my problem with eMusic is that I could hardly find anything of interest to me.
Apple better act quick if it wants to keep up because, as of today, all that's going for the iTunes Store is its popularity. DRM on music is dead, and any company that doesn't understand that is going to get left in the dust. But those that embrace the changing times are going to be looking at a profitable future.

Garden Club of Stuart's members are buzzing
STUART - The Garden Club of Stuart presents the 2012 Secret Garden Tour & Ramble on March 24-25. A self-guided tour will allow guests to discover the beauty of eight gardens in Martin County and a chance to visit a butterfly garden at the Audubon of Martin County where the Ramble will be located.
The private gardens are all unique and the owners have interesting stories to tell about the genesis of each garden. The gardens range in sizes as well as uniqueness of plants. You will see a myriad of orchids hanging in trees as well as climbing on walls. There are at least 10 to 12 species of interesting palm trees and a host of tropical fruit trees, spice trees and some familiar Florida native plants you are used to seeing. There are several water features, a unique cactus garden and quiet nooks of serene beauty.
The Ramble is included in the $25 price of the ticket and one can use the ticket for touring on both days. If you just want to stop by the Ramble and visit several garden center booths, native plant societies as well as listen to interesting talks by Master Gardeners, it will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on both days. Many of the plants you will see growing in the gardens will be offered for sale at the Ramble.
One of our members is a "beekeeper" and will be sharing interesting facts about her hobby. You can purchase many interesting garden related items as well as fun items for your home at the Ramble Bazaar. Two garden themed quilts will be offered in a Chinese auction, one a hibiscus and one a unique butterfly wall hanging.
The tour is the largest fundraising event of the year for the club and all monies raised benefit all civic projects that include Habitat, ARC, Arbor Day, Audubon, Environmental Studies Center, library books as well as high school scholarships, WEKIVA camperships and youth gardening programs.
Scott's Miracle-Gro contributed as a underwriter for the tour. Sponsors include support from Goldstein, Schmitt & Wade, PL.; The Gate in Harbour Bay Plaza; Renato's; Ian's Tropical Grill; Taste's of Hobe Sound; Harbour Bay Gourmet Deli; and Sandhill Cove Retirement Living.
We encourage you to stroll among the gardens and the Ramble with your neighbors and friends. Bring visitors from out-of-state and show off Florida's varied botanical private gardens.
Tour is from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day and one can visit the gardens noted on your ticket in any order you desire. There are two gardens in Palm City and five in Sewalls' Point and Stuart as well as the Ramble at 621 SE Palm Beach Road.
The tickets are for sale on the website http://www.gardenclubofstuart.org, at most of the Martin County Garden Centers and select retail vendors identified with a poster in their window. Visit the Garden Club of Stuart website for more information.

In the past few months we have been lucky enough to gain some customers of V2 products. None of the products that you will buy from V2 Cigs is OEM that has simply been repackaged with and had the V2 logo put on the side. These factors alone make it a smart choice to invest in V2 Cigs.The website also has news about the other products lines under V2 Cigs which are Vapor Couture and brand for women and Vantage Vapor. The biggest change is in the process of ordering where the customization phase of creating the cigarettes the way you want was very awkward and was often criticized by many that used it.
People Underestimate How Much Evidence-based, Psychological Resources — Like Counseling — Can Boost Their Confidence To Stop Smoking , Berg Says.
That's flakka! Posted: By CURT ANDERSON AP Legal Affairs Writer FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) – An increasingly popular designer drug is behind a rash of bizarre crimes in Florida. Police say one man ran naked through his neighborhood, tried to have sex with a tree and called himself the Norse god Thor. Another ran nude down city streets in broad daylight, convinced a pack of German shepherds was after him. Two others separately tried to break INTO the Fort Lauderdale Police Department, desperate for help from imaginary mobs. Police say all of them had smoked, swallowed or injected "flakka," a synthetic drug with an active ingredient called alpha PVP. It's like Ecstasy and other designer drugs, but cheaper and easier to smuggle through the mail. Many young people are "vaping" it using electronic cigarettes. Police say repeat users can experience severe hallucinations, paranoia and violent fits. Some addicts are calling it "five-dollar insanity." Copyright 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Photo: Gretchen Frazee Attorney General Greg Zoeller says claims about e-cigarettes being successful cessation aids haven't been proven. Attorney General Greg Zoellers recommendations for inclusion of e-cigarettes in the states smoking ban almost certainly wont be included in legislation regulating the vaping industry. Zoeller made regulating e-cigarettes one of his priorities this session. And while proposed legislation aims to regulate the makers and sellers of e-liquids, which are used in e-cigarettes, the bill does nothing regarding e-cigarettes themselves. Both of Zoellers recommendations imposing an excise tax on e-cigs and including e-cigs in the statewide smoking ban were waved away by House and Senate lawmakers. Speaker Brian Bosma, R-Indianapolis, says it will stay that way. It certainly wasnt part of the first half in either chamber and I think thats a pretty good indicator that it might not be part of the final package either, Bosma says. Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, says hes surprised lawmakers arent paying more attention to Zoeller and says proponents of the statewide smoking ban should be concerned. Now you have to worry, Oh, we dont have to worry about standard cigarettes but heres the alternative and now we have to abide with those when we really dont even know the impacts at this point, he says. Lanane says he may introduce an amendment to the e-liquids bill putting e-cigarettes in the smoking ban.

Helpful Guidance On Useful Secrets Of Vaping News
Cheaper brands that offer e-Liquids oftentimes have toxic chemicals added to the mix just so manufacturers can cut corners on production costs.The end result is a potentially dangerous product that users are wary of trying.V2 Cigs understands this healthy dose of skepticism and stands by their manufacturing process by letting its consumers know what exactly they're smoking.This means you're getting quality assurance when you buy electronic cigarettes like V2 Cigs online.
While their lithium ion rechargeable batteries are certainly unique and are rated highly with a minimum of 200 puffs on a single charge, these products lack the interconnectivity and interchangeability of other brands so for those looking to mix and match components might want to look elsewhere.That being said, these products offer a unique safety feature in which the LED tip of the electronic cigarette will light and flash if you take too many quick puffs too many times.

If you make the term for exactly what you can pay off, then you are making the best choice. To purposefully get a longer term than you could and pay it off early to feel better is a very poor financial decision.
Getting a longer term loan is like self-insuring. You take a very modest hit in interest for the outstanding duration of the loan, and you get payments that are about 1/3rd the size. I paid off my 30-year loan in ten years, and I wouldn't have done it differently. I guess I just lean fiscally conservative. In some cases there are no benefits to setting a higher minimum schedule, such as HELOCs. Better to take out a loan against it with interest-only payments, and then pay them off as fast as you can.

UFC dream fight headed to Cowboys Stadium?
SEP 04, 2012 9:58p ET
Appearing Tuesday on Fuel TV's "UFC Tonight," UFC president Dana White said that if UFC welterweight champion Georges St-Pierre were to defeat Carlos Condit in November at UFC 154, his next opponent could very well be UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva.
UFC journalist Ariel Helwani asked White just how close we are to seeing this fight.
"I think we are pretty close," White said. "If George St-Pierre beats Condit, that could be the next fight."
Rumors began swirling two weeks ago that the UFC could be targeting Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas to hold a major UFC card in early 2013, and White all but confirmed the rumors on Tuesday.
"If that fight happens it will probably happen at Dallas," White said. White spoke of the venue as Texas Stadium, which was the old home of the Dallas Cowboys and imploded in 2010.
White said the two would probably meet at a catch weight of 180 pounds.
Cowboys Stadium is no stranger to huge fighting events. It has been the home to two Manny Pacquiao fights since it opened in 2010. Pacquiao defeated Joshua Clottey in front of 50,994 on March 13, 2010. Pacquiao also scored a unanimous decision win over Antonio Margarito on November 13, 2010 at the venue before 41,734.
Cowboys Stadium can seat over 100,000 for major events, and a fight of the magnitude would have a great shot at breaking the UFC's all-time attendance record which is currently held by UFC 129 where over 55,000 fans packed the Rogers Centre in Toronto to witness St-Pierre defend his title against Jake Shields in April 2011.

Hive a Warehousing Solution Over a Map-Reduce Framework
Date Added: Aug 2009
Format: PDF
The size of data sets being collected and analyzed in the industry for business intelligence is growing rapidly, making traditional warehousing solutions prohibitively expensive. Hadoop is a popular open-source map-reduce implementation which is being used as an alternative to store and process extremely large data sets on commodity hardware. However, the map-reduce programming model is very low level and requires developers to write custom programs which are hard to maintain and reuse.

"We need to get the message out."
That's the battle cry for the 2008 Norwalk Area United Fund, serving the Norwalk, Monroeville and Wakeman areas.
The 2008 campaign will kick off with a breakfast at 7 a.m. Aug. 30 in the Norwalk High School art gallery.
Retired judge Earl R. McGimpsey will receive the 2007 United Fund Community Commitment Award at the breakfast.
United Fund President John Elmlinger said too many times people aren't reached by the committee.
"I think we are at least a $350,000 United Fund community," Elmlinger said. "We need to get the message out. We need more volunteers ... we have to make sure everybody has the opportunity to give."
The goal for 2008 is $320,000, up from $301,000 in 2007. The fund raised $285,000 last year or 95 percent of its goal.
"It gets tougher from the standpoint the goal goes up each year," Elmlinger said. "I really think as a board we have to work a little harder. You can't blame the economy ... our biggest chore is getting the message out."
The United Fund is celebrating its 130th year in Norwalk. It started in 1977 as the Ladies Union Aid Society. The society had four objectives collect clothes for the needy; gather firewood for the needy; find housing for the homeless; and find jobs for the unemployed.
"We're still part of that safety net," Elmlinger said..
There are 60 to 80 volunteers, Elmlinger said, adding "for the most part we try to deal directly with the workplace."
The 2007 board of directors are: Wayne Babcanec, Norwalk City Schools; Terry Boose, Norwalk Concrete Industries; Kevin Cashen, Norwalk Police Department; Marge Cassidy, Norwalk Furniture Corp.; David Cataldi, Janesville Acoustics; Jon Ditz, Ditz Designs; John Elmlinger (president), Huron County auditor, retired; John Evans, Evans Funeral Home; Laurie Flickinger, Flickinger Insurance; Jim Gerken, Norwalk Furniture Corp.; Valerie French, Norwalk Catholic School Elementary; Sharon Harwood, Fisher-Titus Medical Center; Susan Hazel, Huron County Clerk of Courts; Megan Hurst, Monroeville High School; Mike Jackson (Treasurer) Lynch & White Law Offices; Eric Kirk, O.R. Colan Associates; Ken Leber (2nd Vice President), Ernsthausen Community Center; Sandy Lonz (Town Money Saver); Patrick Martin, Fisher-Titus Medical Center; Ed McClendon, McClendon & Associates; Mike Meinke, Bache & Associates Inc.; Chris Mushett, Huron County Juvenile Court; Phil Oglesby III, Sandusky Bay Construction; Ken Russ (1st Vice President), Janotta & Herner Inc.; Ann Schloemer, Key Bank; Cal Shullick, Oglesby Construction Inc.; Kristen Todd, Western Reserve High School; Howard Wilde (past president), Jake's Radiator Inc.; Rita Woodside, Fisher-Titus Medical Center; Linda Bersch, United Fund Executive Director.

The deadline for Iran nuclear talks is looming, and a successful deal would mean must more Iranian oil on the world market. As Nick Cunningham writes, Western oil majors are among those clambering to invest.
Low oil prices have left oil mega-producers like Russia and Venezuela reeling, writes Nick Cunningham. Now, Russia's state oil company is giving Venezuela's state oil company a loan to boost production.
India offers a fast-growing market for oil from the Middle East, writes Charles Kennedy. The developing country's growing appetite for crude comes as Chinese demand is slowing.
Booming US oil production in recent years encouraged producers to ship their crude by train, writes Charles Kennedy, but a slump in prices and increased pipeline capacity have made rail transport less appealing.
Exxon Mobil is halting production at three offshore oil platforms because it has no way to transport its crude. In May, a pipeline breach spilled an estimated 100,000 gallons of oil along the scenic Santa Barbara coast.
Russia's state gas company will soon begin surveying for a pipeline through the Black Sea. That pipeline will carry Russian gas to Turkey and into Europe, sidestepping routes through Ukraine that have been shut off amid political disputes.
The debate over lifting the ban on US oil exports is heating up in Washington. Allowing for crude oil exports could create US jobs, writes Michael McDonald, and push down the international price of oil.
Western sanctions on Russia haven't stopped Royal Dutch Shell from partnering with Russia's Gazprom on several projects, writes Charles Kennedy. Many of the projects will help Russian gas get to Europe.
A character on a float gives a thumbs-up along the Canada Day parade route in Mississauga, Ontario, Wednesday. The holiday celebrates the joining of provinces to create Canada in 1867.
Booming US oil production in recent years encouraged producers to ship their crude by train, writes Charles Kennedy, but a slump in prices and increased pipeline capacity have made rail transport less appealing.
Media outlets appear to be taking dictation rather than asking questions about which countries produced the most oil in 2014, Cobb writes.
Saudi Arabia is looking for an economic boost by opening its stock market to foreign direct investment. The OPEC mega-producer, which relies heavily on oil revenue, is weathering a low oil price environment.
Renewables could surpass coal, natural gas, and nuclear as the world's top electricity source in 15 years, according to an IEA report. Still, without bolder emissions cuts, the world is on track to blow past its global warming targets.
Cheap oil is good news for US motorists at the pump, but for North Dakota oil towns a slowdown in drilling is creating new challenges, writes Nick Cunningham
Oil is a major industry in Canada, writes Nick Cunningham, and the low price environment is taking its toll – not only on the oil industry, but also on the country's broader economy.
Russia is a major exporter of energy, writes Andy Tully, but the oil and gas super-producer will soon begin importing power from the Nordic, where the cost of electricity is now very low.
Four years after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, Japan is inching toward restarting its shuttered nuclear reactors. But many in Japan think it's too soon, and others say Japan should abandon nuclear power all together.
Energy transitions take a lot of time, Cobb writes, far too much time to be shrunk down into a television special, a few talking points, or the next big energy idea.
At its June meeting, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries decided to maintain crude oil production levels. The group is playing a waiting game, hoping low oil prices help it retain market share and undercut unconventional drilling.

In mid-July the soccer world stood still when, now retired from French international duties, Thierry Henry signed a multi-year contract with the New York Red Bulls. This move can be the signing that opened Pandora's Box to other European stars defecting to the US.
"Everyone, around the world, they're coming to America," -- Neil Diamond
Immediately after the strikers signing, rumors emerged that other notable athletes would cross the Atlantic. According to gossip, The Los Angeles Galaxy were supposed to sign the Brazilians sensation, Ronaldinho, as a response to the Henry deal.
Unfortunately, those were all talks and misgivings as Ronaldinho opted to stay with AC Milan. The strikers suffered a hamstring injury on August, 28th, and will be out for a week and as a result will miss the Emirates Cup friendlies.
But there is one rumor that is looking more and more likely and that is defender Rafa Marquez coming to America.
New York officials speculated and hinted on Marquez being part of the Henry move, but when the Frenchman signed, there was no Mexican to be found. But on August 31st, Barcelona cut all ties with the defender.
Marquez's contract with the Catalan club was suppose to expire in 2012.
Rafa has not commented on where he would like to play, but rather mentioned he has been talking to clubs and listening to offers. So, if the Red Bulls really are serious about another signing, this is the perfect time to take the bull by the horns, no pun intended, and pick up the defender before another club does.
With Marquez in the backline, and Henry and Juan Manuel Angel in the front, the Red Bulls will surely be the favorites for the MLS Cup.
I hope you understand Spanish.

Research Interests
Depression and anxiety are complex, multifactorial and chronic disorders, with a significant burden to the individual and society. Major depressive disorder (MDD), for example predicts future suicide attempts, interpersonal problems, unemployment, and substance abuse and it is a leading cause of disability worldwide. A significant proportion of individuals with depression do not receive adequate treatment and many people do not receive treatment at all. In the United States, only half of those who experienced MDD in the past year received treatment for it, and only 21% of the cases, received adequate treatment. Despite the widespread use of marketed antidepressants, between 19-34% of patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) still do not respond to acute antidepressant treatment, 29-46% may fail to achieve and sustain a full remission, and between 15-50% will have a recurrence of depression despite continuous antidepressant treatment. Although non-pharmacological treatment options such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) have been found to be effective, only 50 - 66% of patients who receive CBT respond to acute treatment.
Dr. Schnyer's research focuses on the use of complementary therapies, especially acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine in the management of stress, depression and anxiety disorders, present alone or as part of complex, chronic conditions. Specifically, Dr. Schnyer is interested in evaluating the effect of acupuncture and Chinese herbs on sympathetic and parasympathetic function, inflammatory markers, stress hormones and clinical symptoms in patients with depression and anxiety. Dr. Schnyer is interested in developing novel treatments that can be delivered to large populations at low cost and that encourage and support patients to participate in their own care.

Eight became big leaguers with Padres in '13
Jedd Gyorko made his major league debut on Opening Day. Almost 161 playing days and nights later, he appears ready to stick around, to say the least.
With his 21st homer on Wednesday night, Gyorko has 55 runs batted in, putting himself in position to become the first rookie second baseman since 1920 to lead his team in RBI. He could also become the only Padres rookie since Nate Colbert in the inaugural season of 1969 to lead the Padres in RBI.
Over the course of six months, Gyorko has gone from from a mere rookie with an unusual name and a new position to a Rookie of the Year candidate, playing so often and so well that people simply stopped thinking of him as a rookie anymore.
"Opening Day wasn't that long ago, because to me, the season's gone by pretty fast," said Gyorko,. "You don't forget the excitement of getting an opportunity you've waited for for quite a while. For it to finally happen …"
The best part? The very best part?
"Just going out there and playing on a big league field every night, not taking it for granted," said Gyorko. "Just think of how many millions of people dream of being able to step out onto that field for just one night or one day. We get to step out there every day.
"That's our job. That's pretty cool."
Over the course of those same six months, Gyorko has seen the major league debuts of seven Padres teammates.
A half-dozen of them – pitchers Robbie Erlin, Burch Smith and Colt Hynes, first baseman Tommy Medica and catcher Chris Robinson – are with the Padres as they wrap up their home schedule on Thursday. The only other Padres rookie to have gotten his first taste of major-league ball this season is outfielder Jaff Decker, who was with the parent club for a short time and wasn't among the September call-ups.
Three of the aforementioned hit home runs Wednesday night. Almost freakishly, three of the rookies homered for their first major league hits. On Wednesday night, Robinson added his home run to those of Decker and Medica, the latter of whom also went deep in the Padres' lopsided win Wednesday.
The home finale marks the ninth start of the season for Erlin, though he's actually on his fourth stint with the Padres this year. He and Smith both have made strong enough early impressions to already figure into the competition for spots in next year's rotation.
"It's still a little bit new," said Erlin. "But there's a lot of veteran presences in the clubhouse, extremely professional guys, and that's helped. Seeing how they go through their business, their routines, I just try to emulate them."
Medica, though a September call-up, has stepped into a rare situation where he's started almost every day since.
"Playing in ballparks where you grew up watching games, playing against guys you grew up watching, that's a pretty cool thing," said Medica, whose whomer against the Diamondbacks was his third. "The step up from the minor leagues to the big leagues is nothing you can duplicate."

The GOP is failing on HIV/AIDS, again
- By Mike Boyer
In today's Washington Post, Mike Gerson quite rightly lambasts the "Coburn Seven" — seven Senate Republicans who are all but blocking expanded funding for the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
Unfortunately, what Gerson ignores is the GOP's long history of failure and ignorance on the HIV/AIDS front. This sad history dates to the very founding of the contemporary conservative movement. It was Ronald Reagan, the revered Godfather, who remained silent as tens of thousands of Americans died and a pandemic was spread to more than 100 countries around the globe. Even as Reagan did nothing to combat AIDS, his surrogates in the extreme right opined that the disease was a divinely-inspired retaliation on liberalism. It was Pat Buchanan, Reagan's White House communications director, who called AIDS "nature's revenge on gay men." Such sentiments proliferated as the power of the GOP's religious right-wing coalesced in the 1990s. Former Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, for instance, famously called for those infected with HIV/AIDS to be "isolated from the general population" in 1992. He stood by the statement in his 2008 presidential campaign.
When historians sit down to assess the modern conservative movement a generation or two from now, among the most severe tarnishes on the GOP's legacy will be Guantanamo and record deficits. There also will be the string of painfully ignorant policies the party has held on HIV/AIDS. To his credit, George W. Bush has probably done more than any conservative politician of his generation to reverse this tragic legacy — more, perhaps, than any liberal politician, too. PEPFAR has provided life-sustaining anti-AIDS drugs to 1.4 million patients in the countries hardest hit by the disease. It may be the most favorably remembered foreign policy initiative of Bush's entire tenure. And in his January State of the Union address, the President proposed a long-overdue doubling of the effort.
It looked as though the GOP had finally found its moorings on combating a disease that, in a number of African countries, now affects more than 1 in 5 adults. But a small GOP minority once again appears poised to force the United States to take a backseat in the fight. As Gerson says, it will come at a price paid in lives. Unfortunately, it won't be the first time.
