Houston leaders have approved a 25-year use and lease with Southwest Airlines Co. in another step toward making the city's William P. Hobby Airport an international facility for the carrier.
The Houston City Council on Wednesday approved the deal. Dallas-based Southwest seeks to become an international carrier since its 2010 acquisition of AirTran Airways. Officials have yet to determine which foreign cities would be served by Southwest.
The Houston Chronicle reports officials expect to break ground this summer on a two-story, five-gate concourse and Customs and Border Protection inspection facility.
Southwest spokesman Paul Flaningan says the carrier has already paid for the $150 million expansion scheduled for completion in 2015.
Southwest won't pay rent at the new gates. Houston will get revenue from running the concourse's food vendor sites.

Samsung tries to tempt iPhone owners with iOS data transfer utility
Samsung has recently launched Easy Phone Sync for Galaxy owners that want to bring data from their old iPhone over to their shiny new Android devices. The desktop application is supposed to be able to transfer music, videos, podcasts, pictures, contacts, and text messages to any Galaxy device, inclulding the latest SGS3. iTunes music has to be DRM-free in order to get transferred. Samsung UK's Simon Stranford said: .
We're really proud to announce the launch of this new application and can't wait to hear what our new and existing customers think of it. We know that traditionally iPhone users have been reluctant to switch to an Android device because they couldn't use iTunes to manage their content. Easy Phone Sync means people can now enjoy their iTunes content on a Samsung Galaxy phone. What's more is that it's really easy for them to do, and literally takes five minutes to set up.
To date, the primary tool to pull off iTunes syncing to Android was DoubleTwist, but there are plenty of alternatives out there, though few of them with a manufacturer's seal of approval. Samsung's solution is licensed from a company called Media Mushroom, who has previously released their sync solution for Android on their own.
Predictably, many users are commenting on lack of compatibility, but keep reaching for that rainbow, guys. I'm sure it'll get patched someday. To be fair, the tool was launched in the UK, so there are likely to be some regional locks in place.
Anyone thinking of switching to Android any time soon? Is being locked in to iTunes actually stopping you from taking the leap? Anyone that already has a Galaxy can download the desktop tool here.

Samsung tries to tempt iPhone owners with iOS data transfer utility
Currently an iPhone 4 owner, possibly up for change to Android in November when my contract is up. Only reason I chose an iPhone originally was the poor quality of Android phones (IMO) back then. Now that the hardware is more comparable, pretty sure Android is the better OS. One of my concerns is the iTunes incompatibility, but I don't think it would really hold me back from making the switch.
Tiny screen but higher resolution. Personally I prefer a small device instead of a Note-like. Even the s3 is a little too big for me.
And in my opinion it's not the icons layout that can make you switch. The widgets could. I really envy the facebook and twitter widget android has on his homescreen and many others you can add
Why do you come to an Apple fan page to boast about Android?
You always have options, some people including myself are minimalists. We want simple, fast, and easy to use. Having widgets increases the chances of software and battery issues. If I want to check something, I open up an app, takes a couple of seconds longer. Widgets doesn't fit with Apple's philosophy.
I'm tired of hearing people complain about why Android have this and that and iOS doesn't. It's buying a condo and then complaining there's no yard to plant your flowers. Every OS have it's pros and cons. Can't satisfy everyone.
They are not boasting but stating why they could be possibly making the switch. They have stated that some of them own the device so its no surprise that they are on this site but that's not even the point as people come onto this site to get updates on everything iOS. Only ignorant people shut themselves from learning about something different.
I am so happy that you compared your iPhone to a condo and basically implied that an Android is a nice house with a yard and driveway. An OS can please everyone and Android has done it. You can even have an Android that looks and functions like iOS but still allows other features. IF YOU WANT
Have fun with that. Make sure the version you'r phone comes with is really what you want because it will be a cold day in hell before you get an update. Oh and don't forget you'r anti virus software, you're going to need it.
some of us have been burned my manufacturers who stated that our phones were going to get upgraded to (pick version), only to have them come out later and say, oops, sorry, can't upgrade, you're stuck on Froyo, or you're stuck on ICS, etc etc. Upgrades come out sure, doesn't mean your phone will support them. having to jailbreak doesn't count.
I was once locked in and it held me back for a spell but I finally made the Android switch. To be fair, I only had apps to lose and very little music (was never an itunes fan).
Now I stick to agnostic services where possible.
How has it been for you? I am a dyed in the wool apple fanboy. But recently I have used a bootcamp partition to increase my performance on Diablo 3. It's reminded me that the little touches of additional freedom can be a lot of fun for a nerd like myself. I'm toying with living in Windows for a little while. Seems that I may as well go whole hog and tinker with Android while I am at it. I figure that once my two year contract is up on the Android phone, I'll come back to Apple. Given two years, and especially where we are right on the verge of a new model, it should be all the more exciting when I come back. I'm finding that being with Apple is a lot like dating an amazing girl. Despite all of her wonderful features, sometimes you still need some time apart to remember why she is so great.
Dont wait for your upgrade, just pick up a (slightly, if at all) used Android device for a pretty reasonable amount from a site like swappa.c0m if u want to test the waters. Has all types from mid range to high end. Im an ios user, but also enjoy to tinker with android here & there, so that site has been a god-send when i get the itch for 1. (no i'm not working for/promoting the site, i just know its reliable/safe, compared to ebay/craigs list.)
Android pretty much rules IOS now. Check this fairly unbiased review:http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/13/3082261/29-days-with-android
With ICS, gone are the excuses of lag, choppiness, etc.
Hahah. They can keep their crapy phones. I love the iPhone and the echo system. Samsung is not known for making products that last the test of time.
OK. At first I was poking fun. But now, Samsung products don't stand the test of time? Where are the updates for the iPhone, iphone3G, and first Gen iPad? Even the 3GS gets watered down updates. Coding for android is not that hard to accommodate different hardware, if your a good developer. Final point, what good is running the latest software if your device can't handle it? That's why manufacturers won't update. If its that much of a problem root is your answer. Even the nexus one has ics. Your iPhone 3G can't be updated to ios5 let alone ios6.
lol. Samsung.
Whoever thinks Android is a better than IOS and never tried Android for a extended period like a year or more you are in for a rude awakening. And don't believe the hype about the available Android handsets.
Apple makes one great handset. The others make hundreds of ok handsets. That's why year after year folks line up to get them. Check the Android forums. People are are ready to trash handsets that are a year old because they stop working and are not being supported with the latest OS.
My 5 year old original iPhone still works fine and the iPhone 3Gs is still being supported.
I guess we are just stupid sheep that like good products, that will work for a long time. Lol
Apple supports older phones with limited features. The new top-tier Android phones are just as good or better than the 4S, and ICS is definitely better than IOS, as it has more functionality and options, and is super-smooth. And at least the Androids have a screen large enough to read, and text will fit the screen when zooming in, unlike IOS.
Also here is a true statement. My mom called me today, I have a galaxy nexus and she has a iPhone4, took 7 phone calls to have a 10min conversation. I have no issues with calls, but she does all the time. The apple store couldn't really help her just told her if it keeps happening bring it back and we will look at it again. After 5 calls dropped to my brother after 90 seconds she simply called back a 6th time and quickly said what needed said and hung up. Basically the iPhone is no better than any other. In the end its a phone and if that's not reliable what's the point of having it. By the way she has AT&T and had no issues with her dumb phone.
Coming from someone (myself) that uses & enjoys both OSs, so no bias towards 1 of the other....you really shouldnt be using the GNex/samsung radios to make a point about signal/call quality....Moto/HTC, definitaly, but Samsungs arent up to snuff, which is sad bc its the only thing i would change about my gnex.
Already switching to android! Bored of ios and having the same screen since 2007! Bye bye apple, hello samsung
Didn't you hear? I heard that Cold Stone Creamery or Ben & Jerry are looking to buying Android, cause they thought it was an Ice Cream flavor... : )
Wow, I can't believe you people are arguing over a freaking OS. If you like Android fine, if you like iOS fine whatever works for you shouldn't matter to anyone else. These are all just phones and neither is entirely better than the other because each is based on what the manufacturer deems as important and ultimately how you as an end-user uses your device. And device specs mostly mean nothing. They're just check marks on a designers list to make a point that they did something. ...Nuf said.
like Donald explained I am dazzled that any one can profit $4269 in four weeks on the internet. did you see this web link makecash16com
Hello, what a fun to read all comments. I have Android phone and iPod 4th gen. I am stuck with 2.33 on Andriod for one year this month June. It's okay. Only thing I like is widgets. I can't wait for iPhone 5. Apple iOS is flawless and focus on hardware. Especially, Apple support deaf user. Where is Android support deaf user on device???? Well? God bless Tim Cook for being a humanitarian and compassion toward handicapped. It's about a time! I'm tired of being a third wheel. So much selfish people today in the world thinking of feud between Andriod & iOS.

Google's blog announced a surprising decision: Google Labs will be closed. It's not April Fools' Day, so it can't be a hoax.
"While we've learned a huge amount by launching very early prototypes in Labs, we believe that greater focus is crucial if we're to make the most of the extraordinary opportunities ahead. In many cases, this will mean ending Labs experiments — in others we'll incorporate Labs products and technologies into different product areas. And many of the Labs products that are Android apps today will continue to be available on Android Market," explains Google.
It's all about focus and prioritization, the same reasons why Google Health and Powermeter were discontinued last month. Google's CEO, Larry Page, says that Google will focus on the core products (search and ads), on the products that "enjoy high consumer success" (YouTube, Chrome, Android) and on some new products (Google+, Commerce, Local).
Google was all about experimentation and launching new projects early to get feedback and iterate. Google Labs was the place where many of the most important Google services started: iGoogle, Google Maps, Personalized Search, Google Docs, Google Reader, Google Groups. Right now, there are 56 Google Labs products and many of them are really useful: Google Body Browser, Google Scribe, Fast Flip, Android App Inventor, Aardvark, Google Goggles, Google Moderator, Google Code Search.
While Gmail Labs, Google Maps Labs, TestTube will continue to exist, it's sad to see that the service that showcased Google's latest innovations will disappear.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves and Peoria Rivermen battled to a shootout for the second time in three days, but it was the Rivermen who came away with the 5-4 victory at the Allstate Arena Friday night.
With the game knotted at 3-3, right wing Spencer Machacek collected the puck at the Wolves blueline and shipped it up the ice to center Riley Holzapfel, who pulled up and ripped a shot past Peoria netminder Ben Bishop to put the Wolves ahead, 4-3, with 3:29 left to play, but Peoria wasn't finished.
Right wing Derek Nesbitt roofed a shot from the right circle with 1.5 seconds remaining in regulation to tie the score, 4-4, and send the game into overtime – the fourth straight meeting between the Wolves and Rivermen that has gone to extra time.
Forwards Tim Miller (2G) and Ryan Garbutt also scored in regulation for Chicago (34-25-3-6), which slipped two points out of the fourth and final playoff spot in the West Division with the shootout loss.
"We looked a little loose at the start of the third period, but other than that I thought we controlled the game," said Wolves Head Coach Don Lever. "This was a battle right to the end and they just found a way tonight."
The Wolves came out of the gates firing, taking a 1-0 lead nine seconds into the game. Defenseman Artus Kulda got the puck out of the face-off and sprung Garbutt out on a breakaway. Garbutt's shot bounced off Peoria netminder Ben Bishop's pads, but Miller came streaking in and knocked it past Bishop.
Peoria (36-24-2-5) retaliated 12 seconds later to knot the score, 1-1, 21 seconds into the game. A rebound flew up in the air in front of the net and right wing Akim Aliu spotted it amidst a scrum in front of the net, reached in and pushed it past Wolves goaltender Edward Pasquale.
The Rivermen jumped ahead 2-1 at 7:40 of the opening frame when Dave Spina stickhandled into the slot and dropped a pass off to right wing Graham Mink, who flipped a shot past Pasquale, top-shelf.
The Wolves answered with a power play goal to even things up again, 2-2, at 10:13 of the first period. Right wing Darren Haydar shipped a pass across the top of the zone to defenseman Mark Matheson, who wound up and slapped a shot that Miller tipped by Bishop, five-hole.
Garbutt put the Wolves on top, 3-2, 45 seconds into the second period. Kulda fired the puck up the ice and Garbutt caught it at the blueline, drove down the slot, muscled past a Peoria defenseman and cranked a shot past Bishop.
Bishop (16-12-2) turned aside 26 shots for the Rivermen and stopped four of six Wolves attempts in the shootout.
Peoria drew even once again, 3-3, with a shorthanded goal with 51 seconds remaining in the second period. The Wolves lost control of the puck and Spina picked it up and moved in on a two on one with right wing Tyler Shattock, who took a pass and ripped a shot past Pasquale.
Pasquale (7-6-1) posted 20 saves for the Wolves and thwarted three of six shootout attempts.
The Wolves take on the Rockford IceHogs at the Rockford MetroCentre on Sunday at 4 p.m.

AS VEGAS With the biggest fight of the year going down on Saturday night at UFC 168, one of the UFCs biggest draws might be cageside to view it.
This week there were rumors that heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar would attend Saturday nights rematch between Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman. Exactly why Lesnar is coming to Las Vegas for the fight has become a thing of speculation, but as usual people are beginning to whisper that maybe the UFC has something up its sleeve.
During Thursdays post-press conference media scrum, UFC president Dana White was asked point blank if the UFC would take the opportunity to talk business with Lesnar.
"I honestly dont know," he said, repressing a grin like a man who just might know more than he wanted to say. "Honestly?" somebody goaded. "Honestly," White said, "I dont know."
The Minnesota-based pro-wrestler-cum-MMA fighter Lesnar was one of the UFCs biggest draws. He headlined UFC 100 in his rematch with Frank Mir, which shattered the pay-per-view record (1.6 million buys). Saturday nights card, which features Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey for the womens bantamweight title as the co-main event, has been talked about as UFC 100s nearest rival in terms of overall magnitude.
Last month another one of the UFC's biggest names, Georges St-Pierre, walked away at least temporarily from the fight game, thus vacating the welterweight belt. With injuries sidelining heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez and lightweight champ Anthony Pettis, the UFC's star power for the first half of 2014 has become an issue. So, will the 36-year old Lesnar come out of retirement?
Sources close to Lesnar told MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani that they didn't think Lesnar was very serious about returning, so who knows. Then again, in a year where anything seems possible, the UFC might be planning to close out 2013 with a bang.
"I personally think that 2013 was the best year of fights weve ever had in the history of the company," White said at one point in the scrum. "It was unbelievable. And weve got a lot of cool things coming up this next year going right into 14, that hopefully I can announce on Saturday."
I think it's mostly a hype for the big year end fight on Saturday. But a rematch with Overeem would be cool IMO. At 36, Brock is probably biting off more than he can chew. I find it hard to believe he really wants to go through another training camp.
Any thoughts on his chances of a successful return?

Anyways, if you discount the differences in weight do to water and glycogen, muscle retention actually is quite easy. A special diet isn't required to do it. Just don't try to lose weight way too fast.
Yes, some people want to capitalize off it, but there is nothing wrong with that. I like Brad Pilon's ideas the best because he is more about simplicity. I hate complicated diet theories. They aren't necessary.
When I first tried it I tried it with the 8 hour eating window. It seemed to work just fine for me. I've tried other ways, but I liked 8 hours the best.
Anyways, it isn't for everyone. There is no one fits all eating pattern that will work for everyone. The main thing I like about the studies I have seen on the subject matter is that it proves that you don't have to eat frequently in order to be lean and maintain muscle and you don't have to be "incredibly" fussy about the foods you eat and the macros. With that in mind, you develop the strategy that works best for you. If 6 meals per day does it for you, then do it. But personally, I tried both and I seem to like 2 meals per day the best. That is what I feel the most comfortable with. The thing is, you can make both strategies work, so it's all about personal preference.
I am sure we can all agree that Layne Norton, Jim Cordova, Phillip Ricardo Jr and Doug Miller look pretty huge, yet all come in UNDER (some by a lot!) 200 pounds for a contest (according to the stats I could find).

Just realize though that you don't have to have a constant supply of food in your system or even to eat every 2-3 hours. You don't have to eat as soon as you wake up around 6:00 AM either. And my bet is that you probably aren't hungry yet at that hour anyways.
If you wanted to give it another shot, a 10 hour window would probably be a lot more comfortable. You could probably even use a longer eating window. Even if you aren't fasting for long enough to reap the best fat burning benefits from IF, the overall point would be to make the diet more comfortable. For example, if you weren't typically hungry at 6:00 AM, you would be much better off waiting a few hours and eating later when you will be able to enjoy it better. Additionally, you wouldn't have to eat every few hours either. The main ideas I am looking at is to make the diet easier to adhere to. That's pretty much it.
Another thing that might have been somewhat helpful for me at first is that I was trying one to two 24 hour fasts per week. If you can do that, 8 hours seems like a walk in the park.
Anyways, one of the best things I liked about IF is the comfort of knowing that I don't have to prepare 6 meals for the whole day. Preparing 2 meals per day is not only painless, but it's enjoyable. And it's a heck of a lot easier to make adjustments as necessary.
Your joke reminds me of probably where the 6 meal per day theory originated from. I had a friend who was lean at about 5'6" and 255 lbs, and I saw how much the guy ate. It would be trouble getting that big with only 3 meals per day. With a low meal frequency, you'd be lucking if your stomach didn't pop!
But somehow that 6 meal thing became the common recommendation for everyone. If you ask me, it's just another wide spread myth just like the cardio craze. It's good to know that both are nonsense.
I am trying it now for the first time and I have having some pretty good results. Judging from John Romaniello's body, he has done well with it also.
I've tried IF. I got from around 19-20%bf to around the high 9's to 12% bf. Prefers 4-6 hours of eating window, but as for 8 hours, it's normally during my bulk or the beginning of my cut just to adjust my appetite to the meal timings.
Downs a pre-workout+creatine upon waking up and works out fasted, normally around 6am, before my morning classes. After training, I'd hit some bcaa's and head off to lectures before lunch. The elevated HGH levels and the bcaa's should hold it for about 2 hours (hopefully, but so far, it's been good + heard that small window could help you consume some fats temporarily for energy).
Strength and weights are pretty good. Sometimes some slow strength gains during the cut. There'll also be some days where higher rep workouts feels pretty challenging though, if that happens or I'm not really feeling the workouts, I'll just compensate with higher weights, lower reps with higher sets. But a lot of the training is more mind over matter I guess. A lot of times people have less confidence lifting due to the thought that they've been fasting. So, you just gotta try trusting yourself that you can do it.
As for food, it's mainly 2 giant solid food meals finished with shakes each meal. I take my shakes after my meals so I could save the appetite to finish my food, as it is easier to drink compared to eating solid meals as a finisher when you're pretty stuffed.
As for the empty hours during fasting, if you're feeling paranoid or mentally uncomfortable, you can always hit a shake of bcaa's (anything below 45 cals doesn't break your fast I suppose)
I guess you can take L-carnitine before bed or upon waking up too. (I do this sometimes just to give my body a little boost and to be honest, some mental comfort and the placebo effect too.)
Well, that's just my take. I've seen results trying it, so I guess I'll just continue with it until I come across any bumps and find a way to solve it. Heh.

Which Reality TV Co-Stars Just Got Engaged? See Her Ring! (PHOTO)
This tribe of two has spoken — and they want to be together forever.
Survivor: South Pacific's Whitney Duncan and Keith Tollefson are engaged. The news comes shortly after the breakup of longtime Survivor couple Jenna Morasca and Ethan Zohn.
"I'm going to marry this man," Whitney tweeted on Feb. 14. On the same day, Keith tweeted, "Thanks to everyone for the best wishes on mine and @whitneyduncan's engagement. I know real original proposing on Valentines day ha."
Whitney's story is a bit controversial since the country singer was secretly married when she met Keith and they became a couple on Survivor in the summer of 2011. Obviously, that first marriage didn't work out.
Today, Whitney tweeted, "Hey kids, don't ever elope w someone u hardly know. Not a good idea! U might meet your soulmate. & No one ever lets the past be the past."
Congrats to the happy couple!

WACO (January 10, 2013) -- Having to battle back from a knee injury is nothing new for Robert Griffin III.
He did it in 2009 and came back even better than he was before, but will he be able to do that again?
254 Sports spoke with Baylor head coach Art Briles Thursday. He texted RG3 after Wednesday's surgery and said his former quarterback is looking forward to getting back on the field.
RG3 was as good as advertised this season, leading the Redskins to their first division title in 13 years. He was the only offensive rookie to be selected to the Pro Bowl.
Briles said he expects Griffin to continue playing at a high level after his rehab is complete.
"He's going to fight through it. He's going to work his tail off and he'll be as good as new, maybe better than ever," Briles said.

McCrory not familiar with all of bill he's to sign
North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory says he will sign into law a Republican-backed bill making sweeping changes to how and when citizens can vote even though he has not seen one of its key provisions.
McCrory praised the bill in a media conference Friday, saying it will restore faith in elections by requiring voters to present government-issued identification at the polls.
An Associated Press reporter asked the Republican governor how three particular provisions of the bill would help prevent voter fraud — ending same-day voter registration, trimming the period for early voting by a week and eliminating a program that encourages high school students to register to vote in advance of their 18th birthdays.
McCrory talked about two other sections of the legislation — a measure added to through a Democratic amendment that directs counties to make early voting available for more hours during the abbreviated early voting period and a provision forbidding lobbyists from passing campaign donations from their clients directly on to lawmakers.
Asked again about the three provisions and how they would prevent voter fraud, McCrory said he had long been concerned about same-day registration, which allows voters to cast a ballot immediately after presenting elections officials with proof of their name and home address.
McCrory said the system had potential for abuse.
"There is plenty of opportunity for voter registration — online, offline, through many methods," McCrory said. "I thought that was a fair system before and I think it is a fair system now."
North Carolina has never allowed voters to register online, though they can download a form and print it out. The GOP-backed elections bill tightens restrictions on registration, requiring voters to submit a paper form by mail or in person at least 25 days in advance of a primary or election.
McCrory was then asked specifically about the provision ending pre-registration by those under 18.
"I don't know enough, I'm sorry, I haven't seen that part of the bill," McCrory replied.
Republicans have said the legislation is meant to prevent voter fraud, which they claim is both rampant and undetected. But non-partisan voting rights groups, Democrats and libertarians, suggested the true goal is suppressing voter turnout — especially among blacks, the young, the elderly and the poor.
The bill passed along party lines after hours of emotional debate where Democratic opponents, many of them veterans of the civil rights movement, questioned why Republicans were making it harder to register to vote and cast a ballot.
GOP legislators in North Carolina passed the bill after a 5-4 decision by the U.S. Supreme Court last month striking down a key provision of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that required states with a history of racial discrimination to get prior federal approval before making changes to elections law.
The U.S. Justice Department and civic groups including the NAACP have signaled they may file federal lawsuits under the remaining provisions of the landmark voting act seeking to overturn North Carolina's new law.
N.C. Attorney General Roy Cooper, a Democrat, sent McCrory a letter urging him to veto the bill.
"For years, North Carolina has taken steps that encourage people to vote while maintaining the integrity of the system," Cooper wrote. "With a veto, you can encourage more people to be involved in the political process, stop this bad public policy, and prevent the confusion and cost of a legal battle."

Wake up a boring bedroom with ideas from these take-notice color schemes.
Inside a Kitchen That's the Right Mix of Feminine and Masculine
In the living room of a Atlanta, Georgia, house, orange paint sets off the Palladian details of the bookcase. "I wanted that saturated color, as deep as I could get," designer Kay Douglass says. "It almost becomes an art piece and helps make the room, instead of being just a place to store things."
"I love a tent room. The black and white stripes are a simple play on the look," designer Mary McDonald says about the back terrace of this Los Angeles house.

I'm lucky I can find my voice mail on a cell phone. No tweeting for me.
Blunt- you are not technologically challenged -- the world just moved on and we're still in second gear.
The best thing about Twitter is that I've yet to get one Farmville request.
twitter is maybe the top information site on earth now, IMO. I primarily consider it a clipping service, i.e. for links to interesting stuff, and that is what I tend to share as well. If you consider yourself any kind of data-miner, twitter is a top source. further in terms of real time live information, there is no better source on the internet. if something in the world is happening now that you need to know about, you go to twitter first.
I have only been re-tweeted once, and never been responded to by anyone. (With the exception of my lovely sister.)
That's o.k. though, it's just for fun and to catch bits of news to investigate that I may have missed otherwise. I don't take social-media-techno-whatsits too seriously. I do facebook too but it's just a kick in the pants. I can't see investing my self image in what people think about me, either here on earth or out there in cyberspace.
But in all honesty, I think I would maybe poo myself if someone like Neil Gaiman or J.K. Rowling replied to me. Actually I'm not even sure if I'd know that they did. I still don't know how to track that sort of thing.
Here's one of my all time favorite tweets.
Joe Hill @joe_hill
It's like announcing the anarchist's meeting is at 8PM. If you show up, you fail as an anarchist. If you bring cookies, you're hopeless.
....I only twitter & tweet after ingesting too many gas forming foods....
i've only recently set up a twitter account and I'm learning. Still not clear on all the short forms used. But I had great timing in joining. This past weekend was the AAAI meeting, and I started following one of the doctors that attended it. I found his tweets very interesting.
Oops. Last post should say AAIA.
I just started it. Like three days ago.
I am trying to get an art gallery/ blog up and twitter is a very effective means of communication. 160 characters at a time.

To better accomplish our mission, "to express, make accessible, and embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha," the San Francisco Zen Center has developed the Work Practice Apprenticeship (WPA) Program for Zen students who are ready to enter a two-year, entry-level Zen training program.
As a work practice apprentice, each student will be working and practicing full-time at City Center, wholeheartedly engaging with all aspects of the daily practice life in the temple, as well as the many other aspects of living, working, and practicing together in sangha. This program is modeled after the WPA programs at Green Gulch Farm and Tassajara. The goals of the program are three-fold:
The work-practice program requires a commitment to the following practice activities:
Buddhist Precepts: All members of the WPA Program are expected to practice in relation to the 16 Bodhisattva precepts. In particular, students are asked to refrain from initiating new sexual relationships during their first six months of residency and to refrain from all drug and alcohol use at City Center. Please obtain a copy of the Zen Center Ethical Principles and discuss any questions or concerns you have regarding these guidelines with the City Center director prior to submitting an application.
Expenses and Stipends: There is a one-time $70 application fee for the City Center WPA Program. After this initial fee, all room, meals and tuition are provided while in residence during the apprenticeship program. During participation in the program, each apprentice will receive an allowance starting at $75 per month for essential purchases. After three months, depending on timing, the apprentice may participate in a practice period or apply for another three-month apprenticeship.
Practice Period Scholarships: After successfully completing a three-month apprenticeship, a work practice apprentice is eligible to receive a scholarship for one practice period at Tassajara, Green Gulch Farm, or City Center. This allows students to continue in residential practice or return to Zen Center at a later date, acknowledging that a variety of life situations may not allow continuous residency. To attend a Tassajara practice period, one must have first completed a practice period at either City Center or Green Gulch Farm, including a sesshin. Upon completion of each WPA, the work practice apprentice will receive a confirmation letter by the director confirming that a practice period scholarship has been earned. Apprentices must apply and be accepted for each practice period. Acceptance to the practice period is subject to space availability, as well as review by the practice period applications committee at the respective practice center.
Transition Time and Vacations: The City Center WPA Program includes a five-day vacation/transition after completion of the initial three-month period. There is also a one-week vacation between practice periods.
Health Insurance: Zen Center does not provide health insurance for work practice apprentices. City Center apprentices are not considered to be on staff, and thus time as a WPA participant does not count toward the accrual of the staff time necessary to qualify for Zen Center health insurance.
Continuing on in a Staff Position: Upon successful completion of the two-year WPA Program, students are eligible to apply for a City Center staff position. A description of staff policy, benefits and stipend levels is available from the City Center director.
How to Apply: Please fill out the program application and submit it, along with the $70 application fee and a recent photo, to the address found below. Work Practice Apprentice Application: PDF | Word
All applications for the City Center WPA Program should be sent to the following address:
City Center Work Practice Apprenticeship Program
CC Director
San Francisco Zen Center
300 Page Street
San Francisco, CA 94102
Please keep this program description for your reference. For more information, call the City Center director at 415-354-0383, or email email@example.com.
Two Zen practitioners agreed to share their experience as work practice apprentices at the City Center Temple. > Read their stories here.

MADISON – A Madison woman has been charged with felony embezzlement from her former employer, the Coal Valley News newspaper in Madison.
Ashlea Nashell Hall, of 1st Street West in Madison, was charged with embezzling $1,400 during the month of April 2013 from her then-employer the Coal Valley News, located at 350 Main Street in downtown Madison, according to the criminal complaint filed in Boone County Magistrate Court.
During the month of April 2013, Hall allegedly received 13 payments for the newspaper but did not deposit any of the money she collected in the bank, the police said.
The crime was discovered by a manager at the newspaper through bank statements and was reported to the Madison Police Department on May 23, 2013, according to the police report.
Hall, 24, was charged with one felony count of embezzlement.
She was arraigned before Boone County Magistrate Charles Byrnside on Wednesday, June 12, 2013. Her bond was set at $20,000.
Hall was taken to Southwestern Regional Jail in Holden.
No other details about the case were released. However, since it is a felony charge, the Boone County Prosecuting Attorney Keith Randolph said the matter could go before a Boone County grand jury to seek an indictment against Hall.
Indictments are merely formal charges that a defendant has committed a violation of criminal laws. Every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty in a court of law.
A felony embezzlement conviction carries a sentence of not less than 10 years, according to West Virginia Code §61-3-20.
Hall has been arrested on felony and misdemeanor charges in the past, according to court documents at the Boone County Courthouse.
Madison Police Corporal C.M. Shultz is the investigating officer, according to the criminal complaint.

Watching the Chipley volleyball team warm up Saturday, I had my doubts that Baker could beat the Tigers in the Region 1-1A finals and advance to the state final four in Kissimmee for a second straight year.
Chipley looked bigger and more athletic. And the gym's echo from the Tigers hitting the ball as they practiced their kill only strengthened my doubts.
When Chipley won the second and third sets to take a 2-1 lead in the match, I started thinking of how I would approach a season-ending story about the Gators coming up one win short of a return to Kissimmee. But I should have never doubted the Baker players' heart and determination.
As is often the case in most sports, the Gator volleyball team doesn't have the biggest or most athletic players. There are good athletes on the team, but the Gators were smaller than many teams they faced this year.
What the volleyball team has is a rare sense of confidence in the concept of team, trust in each other and the knowledge that you don't have to be the biggest or the strongest to win. What the team lacks in size and sheer athletic talent it more than makes up for in volleyball smarts and an unwavering will to win.
I should have known that, as I have seen so many times before that just because the Gators were down against Chipley, they were far from out.
With the season on the line and the hope of another run at the elusive state championship slipping away, the Gators did what they do best: they dug deeper.
Yes, the Tigers hit the ball hard, but the Chipley hits turned to Gator points and when the match ended, Haley Wagner turned in a career-high seven blocks, and her cousin, Alex Roy, hustled up 13 digs.
A team lacking a superstar played with one heartbeat. Hartley Moate, Savannah Risen, Jordan Linzy and, of course, Katie Wickery all stepped up their games as the Gators won the fourth set to tie the match at 2-2.
Then, as Chipley Coach Jerry Corbin said, the championship experience of the Gators took over and they won the fifth set to earn a return trip to Kissimmee.
The Gators play in the state semifinals at 1 p.m. Thursday against Lafayette, the team they lost to in the championship match a year ago.
I don't know what kind of size or athleticism Lafayette has, or how hard the Hornet players hit the ball. And I don't know if the Hornets would wow me during warm-ups.
What I do know is, win or lose in the semifinals or the finals, something special about this Baker volleyball team will allow the Gators to give it their all and never give up — no matter how long the odds against them seem.
I wish the Gators well at Kissimmee; but in my book, every player and coach associated with the team already is a champion.

I really appreciate you not asking me about my father's health who's been in and out of the hospital over the last few years, or about my mother who lost her job recently, but going straight for looking down at me because despite your family's cable-stealing-nonzabiha-meat-eating-alcohol-drinking-drug-dealing habits you're somehow better than me because you show up for Friday prayers. Neither one of us is perfect but you apparently feel you have the right to talk down at me. I'm done skipping Friday prayers because of these ****s. I'm going to find another mosque to go to even it is a half-hour drive, as to me its more about devotion than 1upping each other.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- Junior Davis Tull (Knoxville, Tenn.) led another stout defensive effort by the Chattanooga Mocs (5-2/3-1) in a hard-fought 20-9 road win at Elon (2-6/1-3). Tull's 24th career sack was part of a defensive stand that kept the Mocs opponent out of the endzone for the second straight week.
Tull was quick to credit former teammate Josh Williams (2009-12) whose record (23.5 sacks) he broke.
"It's a pretty cool feeling knowing I passed J-Will, who kind of taught me the tricks of the trade," Tull stated. "I learned everything from him and Coach (Marcus) West. It's an awesome feeling."
He continued talking about his defense, which has held back-to-back opponents to less than 10 points for the first time since 1990.
"It's great for our defense to step up like that," Tull added. "Our red-zone defense has not been where we've wanted it to be lately. We started out giving up too many touchdowns. Actually (Josh) Freeman and I were talking about it in the third quarter. We wanted to stay strong…we didn't want to give up a touchdown today."
It was a slugfest between two physical teams. The offenses combined for a little more than 600 yards (615) with neither defense giving up much. The difference was a few plays for the Mocs, especially on the ground.
After Elon opened the scoring with a 19-yard John Gallagher field goal, Chattanooga started on its own 25. Nine plays later, it was 7-3 on a Keon Williams (Chattanooga) four-yard plunge. That was all set up by a daring call from Head Coach Russ Huesman.
Three plays for nine yards opened the drive and the punt team took the field. Taharin Tyson (Alcoa, Tenn.) took the direct snap and broke free for a 24-yard gain to the Elon 42. Five plays later Williams scored and the Mocs never trailed again.
"We knew we had it," Coach Huesman commented. "After the first time they lined up, we knew we had it. I was actually going to call it another time, but we went for it on fourth down. That's scary stuff. That takes years off my life every time I call something like that. If it works, everybody is patting me on the back. If it doesn't, I'm the dumbest person.
"I have not done anything like that (this year) because I thought our offense was in control of a lot of things, and I felt good about where our offense was going," he added. "But we were struggling. I thought we needed a spark. Obviously the 24 yards on that really helped us."
Williams tallied 118 yards on a career-high 24 carries and both of the Mocs touchdowns. He paced a rushing attack that topped 200 yards (223) for the sixth week in a row. It's the first time for the program since 1991-92, an eight-game stretch over two seasons.
But it was the Mocs stellar defense that stole the headlines today. It limited the home team to just 293 yards, which is the fourth time this season it has kept a team under 300 yards.
The ensuing Elon possession stalled at the UTC 36. The Mocs started out on the nine after a 27-yard David Petroni punt. On the first play, Williams had the ball jarred loose. The defense came back out with Elon in prime real estate at the 13.
Four plays later, it was 7-6 as the Phoenix had to settle for a field goal. A common theme over the past two weeks.
"Holding them to three field goals again today was huge," Coach Huesman said. "Our defense is playing really, really well, but we have to continue to get better. We are doing enough things defensively to win ball games."
Chattanooga answered with a methodical drive after the turnover. It marched 65 yards in 12 plays taking up 5:59 of play clock. Williams' two-yard run capped it, providing the 14-6 margin he and his squad took into halftime.
Nick Pollard (Nashville, Tenn.) sandwiched kicks of 32 and 19 yards around Gallagher's third field goal (23) during a nine-point second half for the final score of 20-9.
UTC's defensive front gave up just 56 yards (20 rushes) on the ground as the Phoenix turned to a short passing game to stave off its pressure on quarterback Mike Quinn. Quinn completed 31 of 44 attempts for 237 yards (7.65 yards per completion). Rasaun Rorie was his favorite target with nine catches for 71 yards.
Wes Dothard (Carrollton, Ga.) had a season-high 13 tackles with a tackle-for-loss. Tull had four tackles, including his sack. He forced a fumble on his record-breaking play that was recovered by Elon. Kadeem Wise (Lawrenceville, Ga.) and Zach McCarter (Chattanooga) each had nine stops.
Alexander Dawson led the Phoenix defense with 11 tackles. Dustin Ruff added 10 as each had a tackle for loss. Akeem Langham came up with five stops and a fumble recovery.
The headline at the end was Tull becoming the school's career sack leader.
"He is such a good player," Coach Huesman said. "We have to continue to find ways to not let the offense take him out of the game. I am not sure if they did or not today, but we have to find ways to keep that from happening."
The Mocs are homeward bound hosting The Citadel next week. Kickoff is at 2 p.m., on what promises to be a glorious fall afternoon in the Scenic City. Tickets are available on GoMocs.com as well as by calling (423) 266-MOCS (6627).

He worked for Christi Posey for three seasons at UMKC.
"I've learned a lot about coaching, recruiting, establishing my own philosophy and my own coaching staff, " Ebel said. "A lot of that goes hand-to-hand with Coach Rosenthal's thoughts and ideas on how we want to represent the program."
Prior to joining the UMKC staff, Ebel served as a defensive coordinator at Bishop Miege, his former high school team. He helped the Lady Stags to the 2010 Kansas State Championship.
Ebel served as a volunteer assistant coach at Muncie Burris Laboratory High School in Muncie, Indiana for three seasons. He helped guide the Owls to the Indiana Class 2A State Championship in each season and one national runner-up finish.
Ebel earned his Bachelor of Science degree in sports administration and management in 2010 from Ball State University.

Stonewall has launched a new campaign to celebrate lesbians and encourage women to take better care of themselves.
Half of lesbians under the age of 20 have self harmed in the last year, and lesbian and bisexual women are five times more likely than women in general to have a problem with drink and drugs
The Love your inner lesbian campaign encourages lesbians to think more carefully about their health. It is part of a wider campaign to encourage women to talk to their doctor if they have any concerns.
Love your inner lesbian marks the culmination of a series of projects and initiatives designed to raise awareness about the needs an experiences of lesbians and bisexual women. We need your help to spread the word!
You can find out about these projects and how else you can help below.
Stonewall have produced a series of posters to encourage lesbian and bisexual women to access health services and to advise them of what to do if they've had a bad experience when accessing treatment.
The four posters, part of the Love your inner lesbian campaign, cover topics including:
We need your help to get these posters into GP surgeries and health centres. The posters and more information can be found here.
The first major survey ever conducted into lesbian and bisexual women's health in Britain revealed deeply disturbing levels of self-harm, substance abuse and exclusion from routine testing for cervical cancer. Read more and download here.
Lesbians who participated in this research told us they were more concerned about how they would be treated as women in their organisation, and this made them hide their sexual orientation. Read more and download here.
Following historic changes in the new Human Fertilisation & Embryology Act, Pregnant pause tells gay women everything there is to know about getting pregnant. Read more and download here.
Brilliant seeing so much being done for the lesbians. Keep up the great work!

My introduction to Sarasota RAWked! Exploring my idea that creating something together with other people in our raw community, rather than going it alone, is more fun, plus makes a bigger splash. We produced and threw down a pumping RAWktail Party, it was the biggest and most successful raw event in Florida to date! Dress code was RAWkstar, of course. A wonderful event and a very warm welcome to Florida and Sarasota.
A RAWstar RAWktail Party isn't complete without headshots. Is that too cheezy?….
We brought together a fun crowd of local hipsters, movers, and shakers. Raw foods help us feel great, look our best, and fuel up for a long night of celebration. Raw food is also great for recovery, detox, and combating damage after a night of partying too hard and not sleeping enough.
The event was held at the Weller Historic Estate, and it was filled with rich period furniture and wonderful styling details. The host Jeff Weller is below in the white button down and jeans. I was to discover later that Jeff gives great massages!
The Weller Historic Estate was at full capacity with well over 120 attendees, and the energy was contagious.
I demoed 4 recipes, which follow below, while people stood around a 20 foot long table to watch and learn how to make fast, easy, delicious raw food treats. Below is Bryant Meyers, to the right, an ingredient sponsor who's home is packed full of cutting edge healing therapy machines like an infrared sauna and scalar wave technology. I was skeptical at first, but the scalar waves made me pass out and sleep restfully the following day. Now I'm a believer.
Above is the spread for our Taco Wraps, served in a cabbage leaf. With raw food, it's easy to have our 'kitchen' anywhere, even in the living room.
Lisa Tomasi, in pink, runs the Naples raw food meet up group. She saved the day and was the best assistant I've ever had! A testament for raw foods, Lisa drove over 2 hours to come to the event, worked all night, drove home, then came back the next day again. An enegizer bunny and beautiful woman.
The man in black above is Vincent Dessberg, who has a roof top garden on a warehouse in the industrial area of town, called "I Grow My Own Veggies". He sponsored cabbage, edible flowers, herbs, and strawberries. I harvested from Vincent's garden just a few hours before the party. It was amazing to see so much food growing on top of an industrial warehouse!
Now, for my recipes. Enjoy!

Mingo Central has its first Cardinal Conference champ and it comes from a sport new to the school and the area.
Terry Daniels won the conference tournament in his weight class (195 lb.) this past Monday, according to head coach Robert Hammond. He finished 3-0 in the event.
Justin Davis finished as runner-up in the heavyweight division losing to Herbert Hoover wrestler Richard Woods, who is one of the top ranked wrestlers in the state.
This is only the second year for the wrestling team. Hammond hopes to get more kids interested in joining the team next season.
The Miners are in the Class A/AA division. There are only two classifications in wrestling in West Virginia.
"We are in a tough region," Hammond said. "It will be rough in the regional tourney."
"These two wrestlers have put a lot of time in this," he added. "They are both juniors and will be back next season. I hope we can get more students interested in joining the wrestling team."

Is the UFC ready for an openly gay male fighter?
Is the UFC ready for an openly gay male fighter?
"Why not?" Benavidez answered.
There is an openly gay player in the NBA, the same for NCAA Division I men's college basketball. Michael Sam became the first openly gay player in the NFL on Saturday when he was drafted by the St. Louis Rams and former boxing champion Orlando Cruz came out in 2012.
Benavidez, one of the best 125-pound MMA fighters on the planet, doesn't think the UFC should be any different.
"It would be cool to see a gay guy just beat the s*** out of somebody," he told FOX Sports. "I think that would be that much cooler. Busting a stereotype."
It's funny Benavidez used that word, because you already know the stereotype about UFC fighters. They're supposed to be meatheads and uneducated. How could you expect men and women who punch and choke people for a living to be tolerant or enlightened?
They're trained to exploit the weaknesses of their opponents in the Octagon. But it seems clear they don't view homosexuality as any such weakness.
When FOX Sports asked more than a dozen current and former UFC athletes if the league is ready to welcome and accept an openly gay male competitor, it was a nearly unanimous "yes." UFC president Dana White has said for years that an openly homosexual male fighter would not be treated differently. And in 2013, women's bantamweight Liz Carmouche became the first lesbian fighter in the UFC.
"People shouldnt be afraid to be who they are -- period," said Miesha Tate, who fought Carmouche last month at FOX UFC Saturday. "Whatever makes you, you at the end of the day, that's unique to you. I think that's what America stands for."There are fans who have been unaccepting of gay players in other sports, but Benavidez says, "fans are going to give you crap no matter what sexual orientation you are."
"It's the same as any sport," UFC light heavyweight Phil Davis said of a male fighter coming out. "I don't see why not. I would not think any less of anyone that did so. It has nothing to do with their capabilities inside the cage.""If he's tough, who cares?" Liddell said. "If he's a fighter, he's a fighter. As long as he wins fights, it doesn't matter.""I have no prejudice against the gays, but I wouldn't train with someone who's gay," Nogueira told UOL Esporte (translated by Bloody Elbow). "I have no malice, I don't take our physical contact as (something) sexual. But what if the gay person has that malice of having physical contact with me, of staying there grappling? I would have no problems having a gay student in my academy, but I would rather not train with him."
None of the fighters interviewed by FOX Sports said they did not want to see a gay fighter in the UFC. But both UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and middleweight contender Luke Rockhold declined to talk about the subject."I dont really know what I think about homosexuality and MMA," Jones said. "I've never really put much thought into it. It's a very sensitive topic. I'd rather not even comment on it."
It's almost statistically certain that there are several gay male fighters in the UFC, the same way Sam and Collins aren't the only ones in their respective leagues. They're just the only ones to have gone public. It isn't easy to be a trailblazer by any means.
"I'll tell you right now, if there was a gay fighter in UFC, I wish he would come out," White said in 2011. "I could care less if there's a gay fighter in the UFC."
Added bantamweight contender T.J. Dillashaw: "It's the real world. People just need to accept it. There probably are [gay fighters in the UFC], they just haven't admitted it [publicly] yet."
"If you're not comfortable with who you are and yourself, that kind of close contact, it doesnt make any sense to me," she said. "Someone's sexual preference has nothing to do with it anyway. If you're busy thinking about that when you're fighting somebody, your mind frame is in the wrong place anyway."
Mike Brown agreed. The current UFC fighter, former WEC featherweight champion and coach at American Top Team in Florida said a gay male fighter should not be a problem in 2014. Brown believes the majority of fighters would be "fine with it."
"When you're a fighter, you have plenty to worry about already," Brown said. "You're in the cage with someone trying to take your head off. We don't really sweat the small stuff."
