(1/19/2015) While several graduates have entered the field of law enforcement over the years, Brennen Wede ('14) of Saylorsburg, PA, has the
distinct honor of being the first one from our Criminal Justice program to do so. A test of the strength of our program is how quickly graduates are able to
find employment in their field and the quality of the entry-level experience they are able to secure. After graduating from the college in May 2014 as the first
criminal justice graduate, Brennen was hired in July by the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office--one of the most respected law enforcement agencies in the state of
Florida. Brennen started his job on August 4 and immediately entered the police academy held at SPC's Southeastern Public Safety Institute. One great plus in
Brennen's hire is that the sheriff's department paid his way through the academy, a rare occurrence in today's economically challenged environment. Brennen
graduated from the Police Academy Class No. 194 in ceremonies held January 14. Wede is now classified as a Deputy with the Sheriff's department and will begin
his departmental training with them.
Criminal Justice Department Chairman Dr. Jared Linebach was among those in attendance at Wede's graduation ceremony. Regarding Brennen,
Dr. Linebach said,"This is great news. I am so proud of Brennen. He has been such a diligent and dedicated student. It is a unique opportunity because
many cadets pay their own way through the academy much the same way as our students foot the bill to come to CCC. The growing trend since the downturn of
the economy is that departments (city or county) don't have the money to send recruits/cadets to the academy. Many departments will simply hire individuals
who have already worked in the field and, therefore, have the necessary academy training and certification. This position is quite prestigious for Brennen.
Sheriff's deputies, especially in Pinellas County, are held in high regard in the law enforcement community. Brennen will be able to have a long and profitable
career with the Pinellas County Sheriff's Office or easily transfer to another department, state or municipal, in the future. With Brennen's success through the
hiring process and upcoming training at the academy, Clearwater Christian College and the criminal justice department gain a great ally in the training of future
graduates. Brennen has been there; he has been through the coursework and put in the hard work needed to accomplish his educational goals. I have every intention
of getting Brennen into the classroom on various occasions to share his vocational goals and success with the students still working through the educational aspects
of criminal justice."
The advice Brennen gives upcoming criminal justice graduates is in regards to patience and placing one's trust in the Lord. He states, "The thing I learned the
most is that the process is very long and detailed, so just be patient and be willing to do whatever the department needs you to do. Give everything to God, and He
will work out everything for His Will. There were times during this process that I had no idea if I was going to make it to the next step of processing. I just had
to trust in Christ, and know that if I got this job or not, it was all in His perfect will."
Marching to His Own Beat
(12/8/2014) Every young person at one time or another has climbed behind a trap set and began beating the living daylights out of every instrument within arm's length. For a fleeting moment, we've all wished we could play for a living. But soon reality sets in and we step back into our own world to watch others who somehow were able to enter that wonderful world of percussion music.
Jared Allen is living his dreams. An active member of the Clearwater Christian College music program, Jared involved himself in every aspect of instrumental music available at the school. Finishing a degree in general studies in 2010, Jared immediately found a job as percussion director at John Hopkins Middle School in Pinellas County. John Hopkins is an art magnet school and boasts one of the best middle school music programs in the Tampa Bay area. Jared's main focus is on World Drumming, a musical innovation that engages students in the hand drumming traditions of West Africa and the Caribbean, and incorporates singing, movement, and other instruments. In addition, he oversees several individual and group percussion ensembles and directs two steel drum bands. His top band, JHop Steel, has earned a superior rating at the FMEA Steel Band Festival and this spring will travel to Virginia Beach, VA, to participate in an international competition.
Knowing little about the steel drum, Jared immersed himself in learning how it is played during the summer before he started working at John Hopkins. Through summer workshops and constant practice, Jared is now confident enough where he is planning next year to enter Trinidad's Panorama competition. Trinidad is the country where the steel drum got its start, so participating in an event of this nature indicates Jared's competency with the instrument and his love for the unique sound it produces.
But teaching isn't all Jared has been up to. In conjunction with his employment with John Hopkins, Jared started and completed his master's in education through the University of Tampa. His program offered him the ability to earn an advanced degree while preparing him to meet teacher certification requirements with the state of Florida. This year he was accepted into doctoral programs at both Boston University and the University of South Florida. He chose to attend USF and began his program in the fall of 2014. His immediate plans are to finish his doctorate, continue teaching at John Hopkins, and perhaps extend his love of music and influence by teaching music on the collegiate level. Can you visualize a steel drum program at CCC? Jared and his wife Ashley live in the Largo, Florida.
Wubbena Makes Alumni Game a Success
(10/4/2014-Clearwater) There was an excitement and energy in the air as legendary basketball coach Del Wubbena returned to Clearwater Christian College for the annual alumni basketball game. Wubbena served as mens basketball coach and athletic director for 25 years. After a move to Tennessee and a couple of additional years helping as an admissions recruiter, Del and his wife Connie finally retired. Today they reside in the Knoxville, TN, area.
The alumni mens team was comprised of fifteen former players ranging from as far back as 1997 with Jim Good. Joining these were numerous other former players and alumni throughout the Tampa Bay area. Though age was a definite factor for the alumni team, they were still able to put together a solid effort against the 2014 Cougar men's basketball team. Throughout the match, the alumni team kept the score close, and even with under two minutes left were down by only four. While the final score of 98-92 favored the college team the alumni men put on a great game with Coach Wubbena at the helm.
Prior to the men's game, alumni from the Lady Cougars played in a close competitive match as well. A number of former players were joined by new CCC coach Natalie Wilkinson and resident mentor Rachel Dees. The alumni took the lead early and kept it for most of the first half. The Lady Cougars eventually caught up and dominated the second half as fatigue finally won over for our alumni team.
Alumni on the Gospel Road
(10/3/2014) For the last 15 years, the Galkin Ministry Team has participated in over 400 evangelistic campaigns throughout the United States. The team is led by founder Will Galkin and his wife Christy, and includes a team of recent college graduates who are trained in evangelism and discipleship and are gifted musically in various ways. They minister in local churches, Christian schools, camps, and college campuses. Team members are often identified during ministry trips and invited to be involved in this concentrated experience for a year at a time. Many continue serving in subsequent years or until God leads them to other vocational or ministerial ventures. While ministering on the road and living out of one's suitcase can be a challenging endeavor, the benefits provide valuable groundwork or introduction to one's future calling for Christ. For these reasons, serving on such a team is viewed as a tremendous opportunity.
For the 2014-2015 ministry year, Clearwater Christian College will be represented on the Galkin team not by one, but by two alumni - Jillian Blackwell and Spencer Shelburne. After graduating from CCC in 2013 with a degree in Music education, Jillian spent her first year teaching music in three different public schools in Pinellas County. She was first contacted to join the Galkin team last October and was interviewed officially in January when the team came to Florida. After much thought and prayer, she was confident this was what God had for her. Jillian writes "I am extremely excited and humbled to be serving in this capacity. Music is such a powerful way to worship Christ, and worshipping with believers in churches across the country is what I am most excited about." Her team responsibilities will include singing, playing flute and penny whistles, and managing the resource table.
Spencer graduated from CCC in 2014 with a degree in Exercise Sport Science. During his final year of college, he received several job offers and ministry opportunities from Christian schools, churches, and camps. Last January, he was asked to become assistant director at a Christian camp. As he was praying for God's direction, he was approached by Will about becoming a member of their next team. Within weeks, the Lord made it clear to him that this was the direction he was to pursue. Spencer writes "I am beyond excited for this opportunity that the Lord has provided. CCC has definitely helped prepare me for this experience. I was able to travel and sing on numerous ministry teams and choral teams while at Clearwater. So I already have a taste for what will be coming. CCC's focus on the gospel and making disciples of Christ was a huge help in my preparation for ministry. Our team shares the same focus and goal!" Spencer's responsibilities with the team will include singing, playing the guitar and mandolin, and preparing all the PowerPoints for the music and Will's sermons.
Currently, the team is assembled in Utah preparing for their extended road ministry, serving in the Gospel Grace Church which serves as the Galkin's home church, and ministering in the local area. Their fall tour officially starts on October 12. CCC is encouraged to see this desired outcome of proclaiming the glorious message of the gospel of Jesus Christ be realized in the lives our students. Pray for Jillian and Spencer as they travel. For a copy of their itinerary and more information on the Galkin team, click
College Celebrates Global Ambassadors During Annual Missions Conference
(10/2/2014) The 2014 missions conference at Clearwater Christian College, Pathways to the World: Celebrating CCC Alumni, highlighted alumni of the college who help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ around the world.
Featured alumni speakers included Diana Joss (89) serving with Child Evangelism Fellowship in the Middle East, Andrew Shields (00) involved in church planting and Bible institute ministries in Mexico with Banner of Faith Ministries and Phil K., serving in a church planting among Greek nationals, as well as to a growing congregation of Iranian refugees who have fled their country due to persecution.
K. was the conference featured speaker in chapel Wednesday through Friday. He encouraged us to realize this endeavor is not an exercise associated with guilt but in reality our participation in the eternal plan of God to produce faithful worshippers from all tribes, nations and people. On Friday, he spoke from scripture to the issue of persecution and trials to underline the reality that this is one of the chief ways to proclaim the gospel message and illustrated this from the example of Paul and other believers he has already met through his ministry.
Joining Joss, Shields and K. for a panel discussion on Friday morning were Travis Mitten (94) with Bible Basic International serving in Honduras and Marta Galdamez (06) who serves with International Partnership Ministries in support services and deaf ministries. In addition to alumni, representatives from 20 different agencies joined our conference as exhibitors, classroom presenters and spiritual mentors. Throughout the conference, a PowerPoint ran prior to chapel and on the screen in the dining hall showing photos of over 40 alumni families serving around the world.
More information about the missions conference, including future dates, is available at clearwater.edu.
The Gospel Challenge
(Clearwater - 9/10/2014) Sharing the gospel with the unsaved brings with it a unique set of challenges, including those spoken in scripture of
spiritual receptivity. Imagine adding to the equation the problem we often find in our churches and communities with individuals who are identified as
intellectually challenged.
CCC alumnus Andrew Vacca ('07) faces this often in his ministry serving with
Lift Disability Network, a ministry
headquartered out of Central Florida that aids families with members who possess some form of physical or mental disability. The opportunity to speak the
gospel into the lives of these folks is one of the ongoing objectives of his ministry. But how to accomplish this effectively and with godly integrity is an
ongoing challenge.
Realizing this need in his specific ministry and the objective of Life Disability Network to partner with the local church to answer such questions for the
greater body of Christ, Andrew joined Dr. Michael S. Beates to write an article entitled
Retelling the Old, Old Story. The article intends to address the
issues of disabled members of society and effective means of communicating God's grace to them. The article appeared recently on the Christian Research
Institute's webpage and is accessible to those who wish to learn more. Click on the title above to read it for yourself. We commend Andrew and Dr. Beates
for their work in this area.
In addition to his ministry with Lift Disability Network, Andrew continues his graduate studies at Reformed Theological Seminary in Orlando, FL. Andrew and
his wife Sarah live in Oviedo.
(Dunedin - 9/2/2014) Nestled in downtown Dunedin is a pastry shop that catches your eye immediately because of its brightly painted building and
quaint decorations. The smell of freshly baked cookies lures you inside and you feel like you've died and gone to heaven. But it is not until you sample the
wares that you are convinced that maybe you have because you've never tasted anything like it on earth before.
This was the experience that I and fellow alumnus Kris DeWitt ('87) had when we went to
Kookie Krums after Labor Day to meet with CCC alumnus Janet Landis Long ('97). Janet and her sister Vicki both attended and graduated from CCC. With her psychology
degree in hand, Janet did what most graduates do - find a job, start a family, and live the American dream. In April 2007, the opportunity arose to purchase Kookie
Krums and she jumped at becoming a small business owner. For over two years, Janet proceeded down this new path facing the typical challenges of life with her new
business and family. Then at the end of 2009, that trail took an unexpected turn with the adoption of her youngest daughter, the death of her sister, and becoming a
single mom-all occurring in less than a year's time. By God's grace and the support of family and friends, Janet continued forward trusting the Lord to supply her
need and to meet the new challenges that lie ahead.
Looking at her website, it is a business anyone would love to own. Each morning she awakes to
bake some of the greatest treats one can imagine. Her specialty is homemade cookies, but you will also see a variety of cupcakes, brownies, and all sorts of other
delicacies. She has built a good clientele of regulars, some whose daily ritual is to drive to Dunedin just to get one of Janet's cookies. But over 75% of her
business is online and she provides cookie parties for birthdays, special treats for business and government functions, and ships cookie arrangements all over the
world to business acquaintances, family members, and anyone else who needs a thank you or encouragement in this tasty manner. During our time together, we discussed
creating a means where families of currently enrolled students can encourage their own children through her tasty treats. Her business is booming and she is on the
verge of moving it to the next level by increasing her sales and hiring additional staff. Sometimes life takes you down difficult paths. But often, through
God's grace, we can discover the value of His direction. And sometimes it is literally sweet, just like Janet's cookies!
To read Janet's story, see her products, and maybe even become one of her customers go to Kookie Krums.
Finding the Edge
(8/29/2014) Summer is when most students take a break from their studies and relax for a brief time before finding a job to earn money to return in the fall.
Some are able to carve out a little time for a mission trip or visiting friends and family.
For Allan Dunlap, it was time spent this summer pursuing his dream in the social media market as a student intern.
Allan's love for social media and internet marketing started in his teens when he was able to help a few local businesses address basic needs. This spring,
as he approached the end of his junior year of college, he was introduced to representatives from Branch Creative Network, a division of Jackson Dawson
Communications in Detroit, Michigan. Their specialty is digital marketing for businesses. A door was opened for him to join BCN this summer as an intern.
It didn't take long to go from student to intern. After a quick tour around the facility, he was assigned a desk and given his first assignment. He was quickly
immersed in the business world that required quick thinking and finding solutions on the go. His team was extremely helpful and answered questions that arose.
After a of couple weeks, Allan become acclimated to his new environs and became a valued member of the team.
In the weeks that followed, Allan has been able to participate in a variety of projects. He worked with the BCN team doing research, creating proposals, and
executing strategies. He learned how the world's most successful companies were using social media, email, and websites to capture their markets. In addition to
digital strategies, Allan was exposed to marketing strategies used in today's business, attend meetings with various client teams, and gain valuable insight into
how campaigns are run.
With the uncertainties in the world today, graduates need to have many opportunities to develop their strengths and broaden their skill sets.
Participating in internships such as the one Allan experienced may give graduates the edge when searching for their first job out of college or admission into
graduate programs for
further education.

Alumni Sets the Standard
(8/23/2014) With the fall classes underway, it's time to get down to business. It's time for volleyball and the Lady Cougars are gearing up for their hopeful
ninth consecutive NCCAA Division II national championship. But their foe on Saturday afternoon was not their typical opponent-it was eleven battle-scarred veterans of
past CCC volleyball teams. They were the 2014 Alumni Volleyball team, and they came not to just play but to win!
Organized by alumnus Beka White ('06), this team of graduates played hard and earned a 3-2 victory over Dr. Denny's 2014 fall team. Coach Denny said
"We had great support from alumni for today's game. Beka White did all the work in getting the girls to come and some drove a good distance to be with us.
They gave us our first good workout of the season and they beat us. Hopefully, this will be an incentive for our team to improve as we enter our regular season
Being one of the first major activities of the school year, the gym was packed for the afternoon's contest and the enthusiasm for volleyball was great. We
thank Beka for putting together this year's team and all the ladies who took out the time to play.
(5/27/2014) 1991 business graduate Mark Borden was recently announced as the new vice president for business and finance at Baptist Bible College &
Seminary in Clarks Summit, PA. To accept the position at BBC&S, Borden resigned his post as the Carson City (MI) City Administrator, a position he has held since
2008. Borden will assume his new responsibilities after June 1. Clearwater Christian College congratulates Mark on his new position.

Philmore made his first start in a Xavier uniform against the Commodores Thursday night.
Dec. 6, 2012
Final Stats | Notes | Photo Gallery | Postgame Press Conference
CINCINNATI - The Musketeers slip in overtime 66-64 to the Vanderbilt Commodores Thursday night at Cintas Center. Senior Travis Taylor finished with a team-high 15 points from 6-of-9 shooting from the field and pulled in four rebounds in 31 minutes of play.
The Musketeers are now 6-2 for the season while the Commodores improve to 3-4. Xavier suffered its first lose to Vanderbilt but currently hold a 5-1 all-time series record against the Commodores.
Four Musketeers finished with double figures with Taylor leading the way. Justin Martin ended with 13 points and dished out three assists. Martin shot 5-of-7 from the field and 2-for-3 from the charity stripe. Freshman Semaj Christon netted 12 points and had a game-high five assists. Christon has tallied at least five dimes in six of the seven games he's played this season.
Isaiah Philmore had his first Xavier double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Philmore's total points and rebounds were both career-high at Xavier for him. Six of his rebounds were offensive, good enough of a season-high.
The Musketeers opened the second half with a 7-0 run to grab a 40-27 lead with 17:05 remaining in the second half. Taylor scored all seven points for the Musketeers while the defense created two turnovers and forced the Commodores to shoot 0-for-3 from the field.
Vanderbilt clawed back with a 10-0 run of its own to shrink the deficit to 43-40 with 11:40 left in the second half. During the run the Commodores knocked down a pair of threes and forced two Musketeer miscues. They eventually knotted up the score 47 all with 8:39 left in the second half.
From then on it was a back and forth game. With just 1:10 left to play the Musketeers and Commodores were all tied up at 54. Vanderbilt used a 5-0 run to get the contest all square. The Musketeers went scoreless for the last 5:21 of the game pushing the game into overtime.
Xavier held for the final possession but weren't able to come away with a bucket. A missed three by Martin and a missed jumper by Davis resulted in the game to go into overtime for the first time this season and the first time since February 18, 2012 against Dayton.
Vanderbilt scored the first basket in overtime to get its first lead since 16:06 left in the first half when it held a 10-9 advantage. With 2:09 left in the first overtime the Commodores held a slim 59-58 lead.
Down 64-60, Brad Redford drains his second three-pointer of the game to bring the Musketeers back down one. The four point lead by the Commodores was the largest lead they held all game.
Clutch free throws by the Commodores sealed the victory and gave the Musketeers their first home loss of the season.
Xavier led Vanderbilt 33-27 going into intermission. The Musketeers were powered by Martin who finished the first half with a team-high 10 points from 4-of-5 shooting from the field. Christon played all 20 minutes and tallied eight points and three assists.
Xavier lead in second chance points 10-4 at halftime with the help of Philmore who had three offensive rebounds. The Musketeers out-rebounded the Commodores 16-10 in the first half.
The Musketeers found themselves down 10-9 with 15:23 left in the first half. The Commodores connected on their first four field goals while the Musketeers were 4-of-7 to begin the game.
Xavier used an 8-3 run to grab a 19-13 lead with 7:55 left in the first half. Martin grabbed the offensive rebound from his own missed free throw then put it in for the easy two points. During the run the Musketeers held the Commodores scoreless from the field as they shot 0-for-4.
Kyle Fuller of Vanderbilt had a game-high 25 points while Kevin Bright had the team's double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds. Fuller had all 12 points for the Commodores in the overtime period.
Up next for the Musketeers is a home game against Kent State on December 9 at Cintas Center. Tip-off is set for 4:00 pm and can be seen on FS Ohio or heard on 700 WLW.

Tiger Airways has appointed Gerard Yeap, Singapore Airlines' (SIA) senior vice-president for flight operations, as a non-executive director.
The low-cost carrier did not specify his role within the board.
Yeap, who is an experienced pilot, has been with SIA for 39 years.
He has held senior training positions and was chief pilot for the carrier's Boeing 777 aircraft.
Yeap was also a non-executive director of SIA's regional carrier SilkAir from August 2002 to 2011 and is a member of the International Air Transport Association's (IATA) operations committee.
The appointment comes after Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) suspended Tiger Airways Australia's operations on 1 July.
The suspension has been extended to 5 August as CASA believes that the low-cost carrier poses a "serious and imminent risk to air safety" following various incidents, including two breaches of flying below minimum safe altitude.
Tiger Airways Australia CEO Crawford Rix stepped down after the suspension and was replaced by Tony Davis on 6 July.
Davis was previously the CEO of the Tiger Airways Group in Singapore.
Chin Yau Seng, senior SIA executive and Tiger Airways executive director, was appointed to Davis' former position.
Chin is the former CEO of Silkair.
SIA has a 33% stake in Tiger Airways.

Being a part of Miley Cyrus' world sounds like a dream come true for most. But it's not always cracked up to be when you become the center of attention just for being the singer's most famous muscle: her tongue. VH1.com has the exclusive account of Miley's tongue's journey from obscurity to fame and the controversy that comes with it. It's been one crazy summer for her tongue.
May 06: The Punk incident.
Months after the singer debuted her new look (the short platinum blonde hair and affinity for white clothing), it was discussed among Miley's inner-camp to put her tongue front and center at the 2013 Costume Institute Gala. The theme was Punk: Chaos To Couture," which seemed like the perfect setting for Miley's tongue. However, moments before hitting the red carpet, Miley's tongue was asked to let the singer's hair and dress be the main focus. The tongue was left with a brief, mostly-overlooked appearance on the red carpet.
June 19: Miley's tongue's coming out party.
One month later, Miley made good on her promise to get her tongue the attention it deserved by showcasing it in her new video for "We Can't Stop." While Miley's tongue got plenty of attention, it was the video's insanity as well as the twerking that ultimately stole the show. Upset, her tongue had to figure out its next move.
July 15: The media blitz.
It was quickly decided that the tongue would lead the summer's album promotion, making appearances at any and all publicity events. Good Morning America proved a good opportunity for Miley's tongue to get more attention on national television. From then on, Miley's tongue made sure it was seen on every red carpet, whether it was the Teen Choice Awards or the MTV VMAs or on television, such as Saturday Night Live and the Today show.

Trans-Tasman roaming
The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) published a report on 9 February 2013 on trans-Tasman roaming services.
The report recommends increased powers for regulators in New Zealand and Australia to intervene in the market. The government has accepted the report's recommendations and decided to extend these to other markets. Amendments are required to be made to the Telecommunications Act 2001.
The report was prepared jointly by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) and Australia's Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy (DBCDE). It is based on traffic and revenue information provided by the two countries' mobile operators for the calendar years 2009-2011, as well as an expert study prepared by the consultancy firm WIK.
The publication of the final report follows a draft report published in August 2012 after a formal investigation into trans-Tasman roaming services by both governments was announced in April 2011. That announcement was based on an analysis of operator traffic and revenue for the calendar years 2007-2009, and submissions received on a discussion paper published in May 2010.
The purpose of the 2011 investigation was to consider if:
- there was wholesale market failure in trans-Tasman roaming services
- retail customers had been affected
- market forces would resolve any failure
- regulatory intervention was needed.

Roseanne Barr's upcoming reality series, Roseanne's Nuts, premieres on Lifetime on July 16, and these preview clips are pretty bonkers. For so many reasons!

If I am done with it, I'm fucking moving on."

FORMAT OF THE WEEK: Let's call this column the victim of post-vacation- attention-span-deficiency-disorder. Or just think of it as "idiosyncratic."
ON THE BUSINESS BEAT: It's possible that there's a trend in the city that doesn't involve the pell-mell destruction of businesses and buildings, one that may actually signal some positive signs that life is moving in the right direction down at one of the city's most-needed zones of improvement.
Last Friday afternoon, there was a subtle air of change on Washington Avenue. For one thing, Hullabaloo had opened its giant warehouse for a clearance sale, with dozens of folks scrambling for $2.25 hot pants and $1.50 Dukes of Hazzard notebooks. Wanna bring young people back into the city? Offer them cheap clothes and even cheaper nostalgic novelty items.
Other signs were more subtle. For example, the sandblasting truck parked outside the building that Washington University is developing for housing units. Or the fact that there weren't any tables at Tangerine for lunch, the entire restaurant full at midday. (Mmm, borscht.)
Some more signs were hidden. For example, at 1110 Washington, an interesting process is about to be set in motion, even as it may change the cultural landscape a dozen blocks away. Paul "Pablo" Weiss, operator of the Hot Locust Cantina, the Side Door Club and the Rocket Bar, will be divesting his interests in the first two while keeping the third. With the backing of a major investor, he'll be heading up efforts down at 1110, taking over a good-sized building and turning it into a variety of "hot button" uses.
"It's exactly what will push the hot buttons of what everybody wants," he says. "I can't see the faults in this."
The 1110 building will be transformed into 64 residential units, from 800-2,000 square feet, with monthly rents of $600-1,100. Downstairs will be two "hospitality concepts." The larger of the two will be the Express Noodle Bar, which will feature a large horseshoe-shaped bar, plus plenty of seating, with cooks preparing food in the open. That business will target a lunch crowd, plus try to keep folks around the area for dinner. Next door will be Express, featuring dairy products, bagels, newspapers and videos, plus big, comfy chairs.
"I know what the area needs, and I hope to be able to do that," says Weiss. Let's hope that the changes at his old haunts won't be too drastic. (Long live youth-fueled rock & roll!)
Down the street, another project is coming up for completion. The Bodega, a "New York neighborhood-style grocery," will open up just east of the Cheetah super-entertainment-mega-plex. Paul Fendler, the site's architect, says, "We're working on it right now; it should be about 30 days away, around the middle of June." He adds that the new shop, which will be owned by vendor Charlie Santangelo, "will be the first grocery going in down there."
This Sunday, the Washington Entertainment District Association (WEDA) will throw its annual, all-day music fest in the neighborhood. It's been a fairly successful event in the past, the clubs drawing on their usual nighttime crowd, who shuffle past the old, history-laden storefronts of the block with (perhaps) less than total focus. Maybe the integration of day-and-night concerns -- long discussed but never quite achieved -- is actually happening.
Hate to be all rah-rah, but these are very interesting steps, indeed.
THE END IS NIGH: Around a week ago, Charles Brennan and Carol Daniel interviewed St. Louis-raised comic Guy Torry on their KMOX (1120 AM) morning show. The Q&A was going along as planned, with the usual banter of an AM gabfest, the hosts tossing softballs, the guest lobbing thanks to Our God in Heaven. Then something unpredictable happened, something shocking and new. A phrase was uttered that probably (dare we say certainly?) had never been heard on the airwaves of 1120 before. Daniel indicated that she went to school with two of Torry's siblings. Torry was impressed with her knowledge of his family. Then Daniel said these very words: "I'm all up in your crew."
At this exact moment, 83 elderly people checked their hearing aids, 17 cars slid into ditches and six transistor radios combusted. The next, faint sound heard was the buzz of Robert Hyland's bones, spinning in their grave. Amazing: "I'm all up in your crew."
KMOX, in one sentence, entered Our Modern World.
Is that an altogether good thing?
(Postscript: The above note was written last week, yet on Monday morning, a bottle of Charles Brennan's BBQ Sauce arrived in the underutilized mail slot of "Hit Parade," compliments of Brennan's assistant, who noted that "I'm not sure why I'm sending it, but enjoy!" The omen-istic qualities of this random shipment are unsettling, to say the least. Is mind-reading somehow involved? Did Brennan sense a mild ribbing in print? No matter, the sauce will be gone by next Monday afternoon, slathered on some South Side tofu dogs.)

It depends on the instructor.
Maybe something like the freestroke? Probably any exercise that focuses on relaxing the hands and letting the stick do the work. That shouldn't be too hard with a large stick.
Check out videos of Joe Morello, Tommy Igoe, or Jojo Mayer to get an idea of what it looks like to play relaxed and effortlessly.

I played with Amanda Palmer
Tim Byron is our resident music nerd who writes our weekly Music Dump and analysis of Australian Number Ones on TheVine. Here he discusses the recent Amanda Palmer media furore from the point of view of someone who has actually played on stage with her. And got paid.
Amanda Palmer recently put up a casting call on her blog looking for horn players and string players to play on stage with her. For free.
As the internet was quick to respond: there was something a bit uncool about this, considering how much money her fans just raised for her new album cycle - over a million dollars. Surely, she could donate some of that million dollars to paying her horn players, right? Various people have called her out on this, most notably recording engineer/Indiest-Musician-Alive Steve Albini. Albini said in a forum post that "Pretty much everybody on earth has a threshold for how much to indulge an idiot who doesn't know how to conduct herself, and I think Ms Palmer has found her audience's threshold," before clarifying that though he doesn't really think Palmer is an idiot (he was just talking shit) but that "it should be obvious also that having gotten over a million dollars from such an effort that it is just plain rude to ask for further indulgences from your audience, like playing in your backing band for free".
After then giving the media a serve for building this into a Palmer vs Albini thing, Albini then expounded further in an interview with The Stool Pigeon in which he clarified "I'm sorry Amanda Palmer, the internet is going to tell you that I think you're an idiot, and while that's not true, it's my fault." Palmer, in response to the controversy, has pointed out in further rambly blog posts that she herself is super-happy to play for free, and has long done so; she would busk in the streets before she was famous, and still plays 'guerilla gigs' where she has no expectation of payment. She's not forcing anybody to play in her horn section. It's probably fair to say that her philosophy in terms of the relationship between art and money is that money isn't the crux of the matter - people should just make art because it's what they need to do, and if money happens, great. If not, Palmer would probably continue making stuff. She sees herself less as a musician, per se, and more as a Capital-A Artist. Thus she does things like puts out a book filled with pictures of her pretending to be dead, thus the cabaret side of the punk-cabaret vibe that the Dresden Dolls had. For Palmer, you suspect, art is a wee bit magical, and music is just one way of doing Art. She seems very dedicated to trying to share this feeling of the magic of art with her fans, and most likely saw her 'casting call' as another way to share the magic with her fans.
But Steve Albini doesn't see himself as a Capital-A Artist the same way that Palmer does. Instead, he sees himself as a working musician. Where Palmer is at heart a hippie, Albini is acutely aware of the balance of power and money in music. For Albini, making music isn't a magical artistic thing, it's more of a ideological/political statement. In his music and production, he disdains (what he sees as) artifice and concessions to the false consciousness that the mainstream record industry tries to represent to the American culture in general. The way his music sounds reflects this (his abrasive work with the likes of Big Black and Shellac is confronting and uncompromising because he wants his music to avoid pandering, and because he wants it to reflect the ugliness of the world as he sees it). Seen from Albini's point of view, Palmer is wasting money on things that do not matter - stuff to do with the Capital-A Artist artifice which is her schtick - and not giving money to what ultimately matters most in music - musicians. Not paying money to musicians, from Albini's point of view, was dodgy when major labels did it in the 1990s, and is dodgy when Amanda Palmer does it.
These are two separate philosophies of what music is really about butting up against each other. There's no right or wrong, just different ideologies. I'm not sure that music has to be Capital-A Art or that mainstream culture is a false consciousness. I feel that music is just music, and that ideologies of music are mostly things that smart people use to justify why they like what they like.
Australian musician/Twitter fiend Brendan Maclean wrote for Faster Louder to say that he'd been the support act to Amanda Palmer recently, and did it for free. Maclean explained his reasons for doing so, which generally make sense - for emerging artists like Maclean, exposure is worth more than a gig's worth of money and will be until he's quite famous. So it makes sense that he'd do a gig for exposure, because it's ultimately a more important currency than actual money as far as emerging artists go.
Anyway, like Maclean, I've played on stage with Amanda Palmer. It was at the Sydney Opera House in 2009, and through a series of unlikely events I ended up playing keyboards in the band of New York cabaret artist Justin Bond, doing a show entirely devoted to covers of the impossibly hip (ahem) 70s band The Carpenters. One of the nights I played with Bond, he hosted a variety night. He played a few songs, but mostly acted as the host, introducing everyone from Max Sharam to a burlesque artist who took her clothes off to the tune of 'Moon River'. Inside a very large balloon. Amanda Palmer was playing at the Opera House at the same time, and was hanging around while we were rehearsing. I was testing out a new keyboard, and was trying to figure out what good 'electric piano' sounds it had. So I played the riff to 'The Logical Song' by Supertramp to test out the sounds, because the keyboard sound on the original recording of 'The Logical Song' is pretty awesome. Amanda Palmer, who was sitting in the venue focused on her computer, suddenly perked up, saying "I love that song!" So she did that song with us as part of the cabaret night (along with a Dresden Dolls song), and it was fun!
My point is this: playing with Palmer was different for me than it was for Maclean. I got paid. I'm not an emerging artist who wants exposure. I'm not a fervent Amanda Palmer fan whose dream is to be onstage with my hero (though I've liked her music here and there). This basically means that I probably wouldn't have done the gig if it was unpaid. It was a lot of work! I mean, I spent several hours making charts of 'The Logical Song' for the rest of the band, for starters. I was working as a professional musician. And it seems to me that the nature of being a professional musician is that the professional musician doesn't draw attention to themselves. The professional musician is an employee. The point is to support the talent and the people the audience have paid their money to see. It would be a shame if the current monetary decline of the music industry means that professional musicians are out of jobs, for both musical and political reasons, and I suspect this is what really concerns the likes of Steve Albini when Amanda Palmer doesn't pay musicians. Because that's what he identifies himself as: a professional musician. One with self-imposed high ethical standards, but a professional nonetheless.
So who's right? What should be done, you ask? Ultimately, it seems to me that the important question here is, is it better for the audience if musicians are professionals? And that answer depends. To Steve Albini, it's obviously better for the audience if the musicians are professional. After all, he's a recording engineer, and he's spent a lot of time trying to record musicians in the studio. Recording musicians in the studio can be incredibly painful if the musicians are not very good, and when Albini discusses his opinions of musicians he's worked with, he often says things like "they're not my style, but they were a tight band" - he respects musical talent and hard work. This means that Albini is unlikely to be sympathetic to amateur musicians who maybe can't play so well - for him, it's not only bad form but is likely to make the music worse. But Amanda Palmer clearly sees this differently, and many of her fans probably agree with her. Those fans have already bought into her Capital-A Artist aesthetic, and they might totally be into the idea that the people on stage playing the violins and trumpets are just there out of love of the music. It might well improve their enjoyment of the night. This stuff might outweigh the likelihood that the amateurs will mess up the parts here and there, that they'll make more mistakes than pros like me. Whatever the case, I'm fairly sure Amanda Palmer has committed herself to a long series of possibly tedious rehearsals with overly nervous people!
Palmer wrote on her blog today that after much deliberation she now plans to pay the musicians in question (she was always paying her touring back up band, just not the volunteers in each town). She doesn't say how much, but in the end she must want to avoid the perception of impropriety, whether or not she really feels she was in the wrong. The thing is, those volunteers are the people least interested in this whole story - they're just excited to play with Amanda. Whatever the outcome of the media discussion, this much is true: it's been fantastic publicity for Amanda Palmer. This week her album debuted in the Billboard charts at number ten.

Niman Ranch meats
- k
- kc girl
Bought a London Broil at Trader Joe's yesterday and it was Niman Ranch brand. It was $7.99 per pound! When I get a London Broil from our neighborhood grocery store butcher (I don't know what brand), it is rarely more than $2.00 per pound.
I read the Niman website and noted their quality. Then, looked at their on-line prices. 3-1/2 punds of London Broil on-line is $16.43 per pound! and that does not include shipping costs.
What is the price for London Broil in your area?
Is there some reason you can think of for Niman Ranch to request such a price for theirs?
Other comments?
By London Broil do you mean flank steak? The butchers at my meat shop told me 5 months ago that the price of flank steak was way too high due to a shortage. The price on their's was $9.99/# in July, it's higher now. My butcher's suggested that I switch to their flatiron steak which was the same price per pound but they felt was a better product. I switched and agree with them.
There are probably several reasons Neiman Ranch meats are more expensive per pound than the usual suspects. Neiman Ranch is located in western Marin County in CA, they grass/range feed their cattle, practice and adhere to organics. To the best of my knowledge their cattle are not "finished" on a feed lot where they are crammed into a tiny space and feed a bunch of grain to bulk up the weight. So you've got a more expensive growing method, organics and no hormones, no antibiotics with this meat.
If I'm going to eat meat I'd kind of like to have some vague assurance that the animal was raised humanely. I don't so much care about the organics part, but I don't really want to ingest a bunch of hormones or antibiotics because I just don't think it's all those unprescribed drugs are all that healthy for my body.
If you didn't know, Neiman Ranch also raises pork in Iowa. It took them a long time to recruit some hog farmers willing to raise hogs their way. They started with a small handful of farmers who were really struggling to stay in business. They converted to the Neiman methods and have had tremendous success. They get a higher price per pound for their hogs and are finding it easier to stay in business. Because of that success Neiman has been able to expand it's pork business and now has farmers asking to become part of their pork network.
Or, it could be that Neiman Ranch just knows and understands there are enough consumers out there that will pay almost any price for what they perceive to "better" quality.
re: Gayla
Yes, the London Broil is in the area of the flank. Also referred to as "top round." Sorry, just learned "London Broil" is a way of cooking, not a beef cut. Thanks.
re: kc girl
London Broil is indeed a way of cooking. And the cut you'd typically cook it that way is the top round or flank steak. Hence the confusion.
Now you'd rarely (if ever) see flank packaged as london broil, especially now that you can charge a premium for a flank steak. But I am suspicious of any meat producer packaging a cut as london broil. They are doing the consumer a great disfavor by perpetuating this confucion.
Just go to a good butcher.
If you check around your area, you might get lucky and find a ranch that raises cattle humanely/without antibiotics, etc. There are a surprising amount of them nowadays, on the coasts and elsewhere.
Also, if you can find a local ranch or distributor, you'll probably save some money as they won't have to charge you their gasoline costs for trucking the stuff around the country.
Check out the link below, an amazing resource for finding naturally raised food in your area.
re: patrick
Not sure how useful that site is. Foster Farms is "recommended" and is one of the biggest factory farms for poultry in central California (the home of BIG factory farming).
re: Tom Hall
yikes! well, it's helped me find some good resources, but caveat emptor as always.
Are you sure about $2.00 a lb? For a solid piece of beef? I just checked a relatively low-end source (Safeway) where ground beef 80% lean (20% fat) is $2.50. Soup bones are $1.89, and stew meat (another low-end meat) is $3.19-$4.50/lb.
I can't imagine a lean, trimmed steak being anywhere near $2.00/lb.
Personally I don't find a huge taste benefit to Niman Ranch meat, but I like the philosophy. I'm in San Fran., so it is readily available, and as pointed out above, the price premium isn't much (at least here). So I buy it.
re: SteveT
I should have added that London Broil at Safeway is $4/lb. (and I wouldn't buy it, based on one inferior steak experience).
re: SteveT
Ralphs, Vons and Albertsons in So Calif. regularly sell London Broil for $1.59 lb. they do it as a loss leader to get you in the store.
I have generally been underwhelmed by the quality of Niman Ranch meats. I have wanted to appreciate them, but I just don't think the overall quality justifies the marginal increase in cost; in fact, even if it were pricely competitively, I would probably only choose it for the philosophy, not the flavor/texture.
Niman's ranchers use techniques stipulated by contract. It's not Marin County hot tubbing livestock as it once was, in the days that Niman sharpened it's teeth at Chez Panisse. Some of their beef is grown in Rocky Mountain states. Pork in Iowa and Minnesota. I'm not sure where the lamb is coming from these days.
The premium represents the complexity of their requirements, which are above and beyond the "mainstream" meat industry. They ship nationally and have become a lighthouse for sustainable production. They are not "organic" as far as I've heard, and am able to tell on their website. The site includes a bunch of "protocol" pdfs which were not openable. These protocols probably are reflected in their contracts.
Niman greatly expanded a few years back, in part due to a great deal they got from the city of Oakland on a processing plant in a part of town that needs economic development. I've personally experienced some of their growing pains, with a short order fiasco involving late delivery, and an expired duplicate order all occuring over the Christmas holiday. The customer focused side of the buusiness was in need of improvement. These things change, so give 'em a try.
There are other regional sustainable producers. They are somewhat hard to find, but with a little networking you might be able to find some Niman competition. Some farms have started going direct to the consumer, but I found many of them offer frozen product (not desireable for products that involve so much high mindedness).
re: k. gerstenberger
There is competition for Niman ranch...all grass fed.

If you were wondering why you couldn't check out books at the Johnson City Public Library this week, there's a good reason.
From the outside looking in, the library's staff resembled a team of worker bees, working to finish lengthy renovation projects in their workplace hive. Shutting down the library from Monday until Sunday was a necessity, Bob Swanay, the director of the library, said as crews installed new carpet, moved furniture and refinished hardwood floors on the first and second floors.
"There were a few other things that we wanted to get done, that we knew we needed to get done, that we just kind of (have) taken advantage of this whole project," Swanay said.
After a few hits and misses concerning the carpet, the goose chase was over and the new carpet from Mohawk Industries Inc. in Calhoun, Ga., arrived ready to be installed.
Swanay said the carpet problem delayed a lot of their renovation completion plans dating back to last fall.
"Our expectation was to reopen the area in early October ... but we just never were able to do it because of the carpet," he said. "Until we had carpet down, we couldn't do the furniture or the computers or the shelving."
Swanay said Mohawk Group, wanting to fix the mistakes, gave the library a more expensive, better quality carpet at no additional cost, and also donated additional carpet for the library to redo the meeting room, the elevators and the front walkways.
With the carpet squared away, library staff helped put together shelves and move items around to their new home.
"The second floor is where the major action has happened. That's where you'll see the brand new computer center," Swanay said. "We've always had computers for the public in the library, but in the previous layout the computers were kind of scattered around the reference desk on the second floor and we had computer carrel furniture."
Saying goodbye to the carrels, the PC computers available for the public will now be in a designated location, facing a newly built wall with a SmartBoard attached.
"For people that aren't using the computers, it sort of makes it easier to navigate through the library without having to bump up against it," Swanay said. "If you don't need to be in the computer center, that doesn't have to get in your way and anything else that you're doing."
One of the goals of the media center, he said, was to allow the library to increase their training on a variety of subjects for the public.
"In the new layout, that's where we'll do this kind of training. We really couldn't do that sort of thing in the previous layout, so we really needed to restructure the library for us to be able to realize these new priorities," he said.
Directly behind the computer area, three private group study rooms have been created for any person or group to use.
Just on the other side of the newly built wall, shelving has been strategically placed from left to right to hold DVDs, CDs, audio books and graphic novels, to tie in with the media center theme, Swanay said.
In the past, the media items were on the first floor, but he said the renovations made it possible for the library to move the media items up and create more space.
"We wanted to just sort of open that area (on the first floor) up and just have more of tables, chairs, comfortable seating workspace," Swanay said. "Some of this other stuff, as great as it is that we've done, we've lost a little bit of table space, so that's an area down there where we've regained it."
Even with the earlier setbacks, Swanay said he is pleased with the progress of the library.
"A lot of pre-planning work went into this and it's one thing to set goals and it's another thing to see it on an architectural plan," he said. "Now it's coming to fruition and we're just excited to put it into practice and to see what happens. I do understand that not everything will work out exactly the way we've planned, but I hope there are happy accidents, as well as whatever else."
Swanay said the American Recovery Act grant opportunity that the State Library of Tennessee was able to get the library gave them the opportunity to do renovations. Funding for additional carpeting for the first floor was given by the City Commission, so they could match the carpet with the second floor.
While renovations such as carpet installation and refinishing the hardwood floors are scheduled to be completed before the library reopens Monday, Swanay said smaller renovations and furniture relocation will still be works in progress.
"We're maybe slightly more behind with getting the furniture moved around than we'd like to be, but some of us are just going to work through the weekend," he said. "We're always open to tweaking and fixing, so if we didn't get everything just right in this pass, then we'll get it to where it's as good as it can be."

MPs debate vulnerability of Exeter to Tiverton rail line
Posted: January 18, 2013|
Disruption to rail services which left Devon cut-off from the rest of the country was 'unacceptable' according to Transport Secretary Patrick McLoughlin.
It came as Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw stressed to the Cabinet Minister the urgent need to tackle problems at Cowley bridge where the mainline was shut by flooding.
This was reinforced by Tory MP for Tiverton and Honiton Neil Parish who said a "substantial job" was needed to that stretch of track, and highlighted the threat of flooding in future years.
Following a meeting with the Secretary of State, Network Rail, which is responsible for the track, has been carrying out a study aimed at shoring up the vulnerable mainline.
Mr McLoughlin had also arranged for Network Rail to brief the area's MPs early next month.
The Prime Minister has also pledged the Government will do everything it can to safeguard the rail link.
Raising the issue in the Commons, Mr Bradshaw asked the Secretary of State: "Between the end of November and the end of December, Devon and Cornwall were effectively cut off from the rest of the country by rail for two periods lasting more than a week each. That is not acceptable for rail travellers or our economy.
"Will he impress on Network Rail the absolutely urgency of tackling the problem at Cowley bridge in Exeter, which is the cause of most of the problems?"
Responding, Mr McLoughlin said: "The situation that people in the South West faced over that period was unacceptable.
"It was the result of weather that we do not see often. I have talked to many members who have made representations to me on that, and I have asked Network Rail to give a briefing to members from those areas. That will take place in early February, and I hope he will attend."
Mr Parish said: "The Tiverton to Exeter line is extremely low and will be affected by flooding not only this year, but in future years.
"A substantial job needs to be done on that particular track of rail, so I urge the Secretary of State to do as much as he can to get Network Rail to put a package in place."
The Transport Secretary said: "I accept what he says and I hope that he will come to the meeting I am organising with Network Rail, which I will also attend.
"I am trying to break it into regions in the parts of the area served so that members can discuss their concerns directly with Network Rail."
Pressed over the rail disruption on the line at Prime Minister's Questions, David Cameron said; "I am well aware of how bad the flooding was and I went to Buckfastleigh to see how badly the town had been flooded for myself.
"We are working with Network Rail to improve the resilience of the overall network and we will do everything we can to ensure that these important services are maintained, even when they are challenged by floods such as those we saw last year."

These lovely little hemp seeds are so versitile!
I use this on top of my porridge or yogurt, in the summer time I sprinkle them on top of a salad. I've also used them to make hemp milk, and hemp butter. And I snack on them when I crave something 'extra' after a meal.
They taste really good, a little bit nutty. Great quality from Manitoba Harvest!
Nutty Goodness!
Posted by Reviewer2471737 on Jan 24, 2012
These hemp seeds are nutty and delicious! So good for you, too. I love putting them in my morning smoothies. I know I am getting my daily fiber and am staying fit, light and healthy with these. They add a rich and delicious texture to any smoothie!
Posted by MichaelAmbrosia on Feb 15, 2014
No complaints from this guy, I can't get enough of these things. The taste is so great, If I could describe it, I would say it tastes like mini unsalted sunflower seeds, these seeds are so incredibly good for your health it's insane.. I usually eat 5 teaspoons a day, either just scooping them in my mouth or blending them in my shakes. Watch out though people...THESE THINGS ARE AWESOMELY ADDICTING. I have more reviews on my profile in regards to backpain/acne, if you suffer from those check my profile and maybe I can help you out, just click my name at the top of this review ( blue text ) and I wish you all the best on your journey's
Very nice hemp seeds
Posted by Reviewer1438643 on Feb 17, 2014
Nice tasty hemp seeds. I usually buy the Nutiva brand and I cannot find any difference in taste between the two. Price is about the same. So if Nutiva hemp seeds is out of stock Manitoba Harvest is a good alternative.

MacBook 5 2 hard drive upgrade
Hi there, I want to upgrade my MacBook5,2 hard drive. Please could someone let me know which hard drive is compatible with this. I want 500GB of storage.
I am unsure whether all laptop hard drives will fit.
Any 500 GB 2.5" drive will fit. It is only when you get into the 750 GB and larger that you will run into drives that are too tall to go in there.
You're looking for a 2.5" 9.5mm height drive.

ST. LOUIS, MO (KPLR) – This week's edition of The Pulse of St. Louis takes a closer look at the dangerously low water levels on the Mississippi River. If water levels continue to drop, due to record setting drought, barges that transport coal, steel, corn, grain, and other products could come to a halt.
Senator Claire McCaskill wrote a letter to Governor Jay Nixon formally requesting he seeks help from the White House to help solve the problem. If action isn't taken soon, barge traffic could stop by December 10, 2012 sending a tremendous blow to the economy.

Williams was handed the armband on the afternoon she became England's most capped player, surpassing Rachel Yankey's total of 129 appearances.
And though a goal eluded the Liverpool Ladies midfielder at Hartlepool's Victoria Park, strikes from Karen Carney (2), Fran Kirby and Lianne Sanderson ensured the contest delivered on substance as well as sentiment.
England had won only one of their previous 14 meetings with the Swedes - ranked three places higher than Mark Sampson's side at fifth in the world - but they will head to Cardiff for a World Cup qualifier against Wales later this month in confident mood after a dominant display.
Kirby's debut might have been more eye-catching still had she connected better with a ball that bounced invitingly on the edge of the box with just minutes gone, while Hedvig Lindahl - celebrating her own milestone of 100 Sweden caps - needed to save smartly from Jodie Taylor.
Karen Bardsley tipped a threatening Lotta Schlein cross onto the crossbar at the other end but Sampson's side saw prolonged pressure finally count 11 minutes from the break, Carney afforded a second chance after her spot-kick hit the post.
The Birmingham winger went close to a second but it was Kirby who doubled England's advantage seven minutes after the restart, a curling left-footed shot from range rich reward.
She departed on the hour to a standing ovation and replacement Eni Aluko came close to making a swift impact herself, thwarted by the crossbar.
But Sanderson tapped in on 67 minutes to further extend England's lead and Carney found the top corner 10 minutes from time to consign Sweden to their heaviest defeat in two years.
Sampson's side are next in action at the Cardiff City Stadium on 21 August, needing only a point against Wales to book their place at the 2015 World Cup finals in Canada.

You're not alone in that, Opus …
twenty years later….he will be dead by prescrip drugs.
… and whose toes is Brooke Shields nibbling these days ?
her husband, chris henchy. plus, her kids
A strip with Opus and a semi-sane MJ seems too fantastical for me….
I don't remember this one. I remember a series where Opus and Michael Jackson do a "Prince & the Pauper" bit.
I definitely remember the Brooke Shields part.
20 years later, Brooke Shields nibbling on my toes still seems like a wonderful thing.
I don't think Brooke Shields was the one MJ wanted his toes to be nibbled by…
The conflict that wrote his life and death…RIP MJ. Brooke…sounds like you've been letting your toe-nibbling public down, get back to work!
This Sunday strip was originally published along with the Prince and the Pauper bit. (…)
(…) The story started on August 20, 1984 with Opus visiting M.J., although the actual switch doesn't happen until August 27. Today's strip was from the day before that.
Huh! It seems that GoComics is no longer accepting certain comments, like putting both of my two previous ones in one! Weird!
MJ definitely turned into a strange creature, but given his life it's not too surprising – no childhood to speak of, gobs of money, one of the most famous and idolized people on the planet. It's hard to imagine anybody NOT being messed up by all that. (Not that I wouldn't want to give it a shot.)
Michael Jackson living next door is also every parent's worst nightmare.

Read Poems by
Larry Belt
Though forever seemed so far away
A promise that we both chose
We'd follow the rules that life demands
And see how far it goes
To live on love, our only plan
How could we go wrong?
As each day passed we grew apart
Forever's not that long
A million kisses gone to waste
The product of a lie
Love's a gift that's made to last
It's not supposed to die
We tried our best to see it through
To rewrite history
But now each time they write of love
It won't mention you and me
Though legend we were meant to be
We'll ever be remembered with
The likes of Romeo and Juliet
Forever just a myth

Torche Gets Back Into Its Heavy Groove With Restarter
By Nathan Smith
Here and most everywhere, Roderick appears intent on throwing together words that just sound cool (and to hell with coherence). So it seemed only natural to relieve the following transcript of actual questions and simply let Roderick have the floor.
On Ribaldry...
"We were in the studio working, and the recording process kind of bogged down. I had a bunch of unfinished tracks, half an unfinished book I was trying to write, and had grown a really long beard and gotten fat. But I was doing just fine, reading a lot and writing, and not really that conscious of the passage of time."
"During that period last winter, I went to a big festival here that featured Keane and Franz Ferdinand and the Killers and so forth, and ended up having dinner with the guys from Keane after the show. It was a late-night feast around a big table with a lot of spilled wine and ribald stories. The next day Keane's piano player, Tim, called and wanted help finding the good music stores in Seattle. I looked very unkempt compared to Tim, but we had a good time goofing around, looking at used distortion boxes in all the junky guitar stores out here. A few months later, they asked us to do a tour with them."
On Resurrection...
"It was then that I realized that I had gone a little bananas. The Long Winters hadn't played in over a year, and people were starting to whisper. When I sat down at a table, everyone moved the glassware out of my reach. So I realized I had to give the appearance of being perfectly sane, shaved my beard, stopped talking about World War I as if it was still going on, and decided we'd release the best tracks from our unfinished record as an EP."
"When we get back to Seattle in October, we're going right into the studio to start recording a new full-length record, which should be out in the spring of next year. I'm not too worried about people forgetting about us while we're gone, because life is long."
On Deference...
"I think St. Louis audiences are pretty colorful, and that's not even considering Beatle Bob. The first show we ever played in St. Louis was at Frederick's Music Lounge, which set the bar pretty high in terms of 'colorful audiences.' Although there were only about ten people huddled around the bar, we sold seven CDs. Frederick's is also the place we picked up one of our Long Winters' Overheard Tour Non Sequiturs: 'I didn't fall out of an airplane. I'm looking for a goddamn job!'"
"I never think in terms of 'deference' toward another band, because any amount of the 'we're not worthy' mentality just robs the show of energy. The headlining band already has the cards stacked in their favor: They play a much longer set, and the audience is presumably already on their side. The opener has to jump out there unprepared and squeeze off a 45-minute set, and it's a huge challenge to try and captivate an audience and bring them into your world under those conditions. One of the ways I try to do that is by just dropping the pretense. 'Hi, what's up? Nice hat. Is that your girlfriend? Thanks for coming.' I don't want anyone to think that they can sit at a table four feet from the stage and carry on a loud conversation about their day at work. We're not on TV; we're standing right in front of you in real life. It's harder to do that opening for a band like Keane. We're playing in a much larger room, and I have no doubt there will be people in the back of the hall exchanging ring tones on their cell phones or whatever, so I have to respect the scale of things. But it's still a rock show, so that's what we intend to do."
On Douchebags...
"The uncomfortable truth of early-'90s Seattle is that it looked pretty much like the early '90s in every other depressed small city in America. The music scene was small and insular, most of the bands were terrible, and there were way more 'heshers' and LA-style glam-metal douchebags than earnest, punk-rock sages. I worked in a bar where they filmed some of the scenes [for the grunge-romance flick Singles] and remember Matt Dillon hanging out with his new buddies, Pearl Jam, who were still unknown outside of Seattle, taking pictures of each other and playing slap-and-tickle. I thought, 'There goes the neighborhood.'"
On Cirrhosis...
"That drunken Midwestern guy with a Telecaster who slops his way through lovelorn songs in a fake Southern accent thing, I never really got into. Ryan Adams is doing the exact same thing now. I admit they have moments of rare beauty, but the aesthetic of standing around in thrift-store cowboy boots waiting for a liver transplant is really, really played out. Invariably they become parodies of themselves. I got the feeling that 'Dyslexic Heart' was Paul Westerberg sitting down and thinking, 'I should write a song with the word "dyslexic" in it.'"

There appears to be a shakeup at the Indiana State University Foundation. The organization's board of directors has accepted the resignation of Foundation President Gene Crume. Board Chairman R. Brent Beeler is serving as interim president.
The organization says Crume is stepping down to pursue other opportunities.
He started with the foundation in 2007 after serving as executive vice president of Midland Lutheran College since 2003.
Crume was the first individual to serve as the president of the foundation under a new structure that more clearly defines the fundraising organization as a separate entity from the university.

After a year in which virtually everybody in Washington agreed that cutting spending was vital, you might have thought the Congress would have restrained its own involvement in tangential issues that having nothing to do with the business of government. If so, you thought wrong. As this item in a New York Times NFL roundup column from earlier this week notes, the House Committee on Government Oversight's intervention in the question of testing for the use of human growth hormone illustrates that a bipartisan dedication to pointless and shameless grandstanding is undiminished.
As The Hill reported last month, chair Rep. Darrel Issa and the ranking minority member, Rep. Elijah Cummings had demanded that leaders of the league and the players union appear to explain why they had not agreed to a procedure for drug testing. Since the two parties are still locked in a stalemate over that issue, the Republican chair and his Democrat counterpart are determined to stick their noses in the dispute. But neither has put forward an explanation as to why NFL drug testing is a federal issue and worthy of the time and expense that a Congressional hearing on the matter would entail.
You would think with the Solyndra affair and countless other government scandals, Issa would have his plate full without an excursion into the uncharted waters of the impact of human growth hormone on professional sports. Nor is there any conceivable legislation that might spring from such a matter. But that would require you to ignore the irresistible temptation that the extra publicity that a sports-related story would bestow on those taking part in a sports-related Congressional proceeding.
Issa and Cummings want in on the NFL dispute simply because it allows them to pose as guardians of the integrity of a great American game. A hearing on this issue, like previous ones devoted to the use of steroids in baseball, gives Congress a platform to bully both the NFL and the players into doing something that they are clearly prepared to do on their own.
It may be that this is a righteous cause and that HGH use requires testing to preserve fair play. But even if the players hold up drug testing, either because they don't trust the procedure or because they resent the loss of privacy rights, and HGH use is theoretically allowed to continue, what business is that of Congress?
This is not a federal issue and there is no legal excuse for government intervention. All this represents is a chance for Issa, Cummings and their colleagues on the committee to burnish their images and to hobnob with sports figures while pretending to be acting in the best interests of a game that Americans love to watch and gamble on.
The next time a member of either party goes on about the need for Congress to crack down on out of control spending and a big government mentality, remind them about the House's intervention in NFL drug testing. If Congress wants to save our money, and it should, it ought to start by cutting down on hearings whose only purpose is to allow members to grandstand on issues that are none of their business.

From the coffee to the breakfast everything was amazing
Posted by Fran on 09/24/2014
We went to the lunch service. Food was good and arrived in a timely manner. I had the forester sandwich which was really good. Service needs to keep my coffee cup filled a lot faster but overall we as a family were pleased.

Its awesome they have a kids eat free special I was just sorry my kids ate that food. Their slider burgers were burnt and dry. My sons macaroni and cheese was gross. I ordered wings and their sauce is a whole lot of butter and a little bit of hot sauce so I tasted like a bunch of grease. Service was not good at all. Could be a nice place but food and service is lacking.
Posted by Debbie G. on 11/12/2013
I've been to Butterfields 2 times and the food was great! The price was great! Food is fresh, hot and massive amount . People are very nice and friendly. I am a very picky person when it comes to where I eat. I would recommend this place to everyone.

Cornwall's Nowell to make England debut against France
Posted: January 30, 2014|
Cornwall's Jack Nowell will win his first England cap against France in Paris on Saturday (5pm) after being named to play on the right wing when the team was officially announced this morning.
The 20-year-old Exeter Chiefs player, who comes from Newlyn, replaces Chris Ashton who was omitted from the squad earlier in the week.
Nowell's selection had been widely predicted and he forms part of a very inexperienced England back line for the Six Nations opener.
Also making his debut in the centre os Northampton centre Luther Burell while Gloucester wing Jonny May will win his second cap at Stade de France.
While four of the backline are changed from the team that started against New Zealand, the pack remains unchanged.
England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: "We can't wait for Saturday. We've had a good two weeks and all the players have pushed hard for selection.
"Congratulations to Jack and Luther who deserve their chance, as does Jonny May starting his first RBS 6 Nations game. It's also great to see Brad Barritt back with his experience and leadership in the 23, while Alex Goode will give us good cover at 15 and 10.
"We felt the pack went well in the autumn and it's right to leave it unchanged but we have some quality players, including two British Lions in Tom and Mako, to come on."
George Ford (Bath Rugby), Matt Mullan (London Wasps) and Anthony Watson (Bath Rugby) will travel as cover.
