When East Tennessee State's soccer team plays in the Atlantic Sun Conference tournament semifinals tonight, it will be against a familiar opponent.
Stetson and ETSU have made a habit of facing off in big games in their brief series history. The Bucs defeated the Hatters 1-0 in overtime in last year's A-Sun championship game. The year before, Stetson won the matchup 3-2 in the tournament semifinals. This year, they played to a scoreless draw in the regular season.
"Whenever we've played them it's always been a big game, a decisive conference game," ETSU coach Scott Calabrese said Thursday. "They're very talented and absolutely deserving of their No. 2 seed. It's going to be a very close and very competitive game."
Sixth-seeded ETSU comes into the 7 p.m. game at Summers-Taylor Stadium with a 10-6-3 record. No. 2 Stetson is 10-5-3.
Top-seeded Florida Gulf Coast (10-5-2) takes on No. 4 Mercer (9-7-3) in the other semifinal at 4 p.m. The winners play in Sunday's 1 p.m. championship game with the A-Sun's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament at stake.
ETSU advanced to the semifinals with a 2-0 quarterfinal victory over Jacksonville on Wednesday night as junior midfielder David Haba scored his first two goals of the season. Mercer beat Lipscomb 2-1 in the other quarterfinal.
Calabrese knows a thing or two about Stetson. He served as an assistant coach at the DeLand, Fla., school in 1999. Ian Luya, Calabrese's assistant coach, was an assistant at Stetson from 2005-07.
"I think it's a respectful rivalry," fifth-year Stetson coach T. Logan Fleck said. "I respect Scott Calabrese so much. When we go to play, both teams really know, 'This is it. Let's play. A lot's at stake.' It's a very competitive series. I've been a college head coach for 25 years and no one in the Atlantic Sun has done more at a quicker pace than Scott Calabrese.
"And I am very jealous of his facilities."
ETSU won last year's tournament championship on an overtime goal by Itode Fubara.
"I think it's gonna be a good game," Fleck said. "The quarters are where teams are wide open. It gets a little tighter in the championship.
"They should have a great crowd here. They have an excellent following and a great atmosphere."
The Hatters lost last season's A-Sun player of the year, Frederik Brustad, to graduation. All they did was produce another player of the year, junior midfielder Jonathan Mendoza. The Colombian leads the league with 11 goals and 27 points.
Stetson also had the league's defensive player of the year in Luis Ocejo.
The Hatters haven't lost since Sept. 30, going 7-0-2 in their final nine games of the regular season.
"We're looking really closely at the tape to make sure we have the right game plan to deal with how they play and how to deal with Johnny Mendoza," Calabrese said.
"They way they play is different than a lot of the teams. They're very organized. They can sit back and try to catch you in the counter or they can push forward and press you. They're difficult to prepare for."

I have three sisters. Each time they became pregnant, bringing one of my nieces and nephews into the world, I went through the pregnancy "with" them, anticipating the new, joyous addition to our family.About nine years ago, my friend, Laurette, and her husband, Cornelius, decided to adopt a child. Laurette and I have been close friends since first grade, so it was natural that I became an anticipatory "Auntie" once again. But this time it was different. It was the longest, most complicated "pregnancy" I've ever experienced. The process took more than two years and was full of ups and downs, heartbreaks and elation, disappointments and triumphs. Was it worth it? You bet it was. It brought us Catalina. … Back to Article

Do you remember life before internet? As a daughter of an IT guy (yeah, my dad is kinda like a less funny version of Roy from IT Crowd) I have to say that I do NOT. I don't even remember life without computers in general, which is pretty sad, considering that I will be 30 in a couple years. Computer was just always "there," as far as I can remember. Once it was just a keyboard connected to a casette player, then it was a small box with two joypads and then finally it was that grey big box with a huge screen connected to it, larger than our TV, with old Windows 3.1 (yes, I remember Windows 3.1, I am THAT OLD, haha). I never watched TV that much (except morning shows for kids during the weekends), but PC was always present in our house and later even in mine and my brother's room (we always shared a room, first time I experienced living in my very own room was at the age of 26 after I got divorced, haha, until then I always had to share room with someone). But I wasn't too much into computers until the age of 14-15, when I went to highschool for graphic design. At that time I was already familiar with Corel Draw (3.0 and later 5.0) and I was quite good at it for my age. I was even helping my dad with some graphics for work and I was giving advices to our teacher at school who was not sure about how to work with vectors, cause his major was programming. Then the era of chats started and all I was doing during the afternoons after school was visiting different chatrooms and chat with strange people. (I had a boyfriend all my highschool and I never even considered starting some kind of "virtual romance," but many of my classmates did and it was CRAZY!!!)
When I was 18 I joined infamous forum Siemensmania.cz and started expressing myself in the cell phone hacking area. I loved this kind of stuff, never been a girly girl with my hobbies, so patching, hacking and tuning my cellphone and discussing it with like minded boys over the forum was my everyday bread for YEARS. Then I got married, Siemensphones slowly faded away (too bad, those were THE BEST ONES) and I turned to PC gaming for quite a while. After work I went home to play my games (Myst, Uru, Witcher, Spore, Dragon Age or even simple Solitaire that I was able to play for HOURS while listening to some music), totally disconnected from a real world outsite. Somewhere around that time my youtube addiction started and I discovered make-up tutorials, which consumed both my time and my money. It was just a step away from discovering fitness area online, paleo community and of course – Facebook. The biggest time consuming element I can imagine.
Hours of random youtube videos kept me busy all weekends, still playing hours and hours of Witcher while my husband was at work doing nightshifts, and sometimes during weekends I didn't even go to bed or have something to eat, because I was too busy playing or "youtubing." When I started my first blog, it was because I wanted to be a part of that online world, but I had nothing to blog about, so I left it pretty soon, forgotten under the pile of other blogs that are floating around the web without purpose. With the release of Android phones, everything got even easier. I didn't use my phone for internet before, ever. But immediatelly I was able to check my e-mails, tweet, read Facebook updates, post Instagram photos, read paleo feeds, chat via gtalk… and somewhere in all that mess I forgot what it was like to come home from work and actually HAVE FREE TIME! I mean, what were we all doing after school and after work BEFORE INTERNET? I will tell you…
We had LIVES to live. We had friends to go out with, families to take care of, hobbies to enjoy, people to meet, trips to plan, places to visit and gatherings to attend. Unlike today, we were way more social and we had way more free time. Social networks are called "social," but they bring way more isolation than quarantine rooms in a hospital. (I remember playing Theme Hospital for hours, taking care of those patients, almost desperate that some of them were dying because of bloated heads…) I resisted creating a Facebook account for pretty long time and then when I finally got one, it was such a boring thing to me, that I deleted it a few months later. I got a new one after I moved to Prague alone, so I could stay connected with my friends and family at home. But instead, FB turned into something I constantly had to check like every minute to read the lastest updates, messages, friend requests… My boyfriend contacted me via Facebook even before he talked to me in real life, so that is one credit I give to Facebook… :)
Quite a while ago I decided that I will keep my friends list VERY short and I will only keep people I truly wanna have in my life and I wanna be in contact with, like my closest friends and family. I don't even have all family members in my list, and they do have FB. I just don't wanna read my cousin's drunk whining and see where she is totally wasted, no thank you. I don't need to add my boyfriend's cousin, I respect him as exactly who he is, my boyfriend's cousin, but I do not consider us friends. I really don't see a point of accepting a request of my old classmates I haven't seen for 10 years, just because we shared a class twenty years ago and she probably would not even recognize me on the street nowadays. I found out that people react pretty emotionally when you remove them from the friends list for no reason. Whenever I do that, I get messages like: "What have I done wrong? I don't remember saying anything mean to you! Why did you delete me?" Calm down, people! This is not about you! This is about me and my preference, if we do NOT comunicate on a daily bases and I do not think you contribute positively in my life, I do not need to keep you on a "friends list!" Get over it, it is JUST FACEBOOK!!! I always try to explain to them, but many times they do not understand. But I don't care anymore. My profile, my rules. My life, my decisions.
What I do today? I wake up in the morning, check my e-mails in my phone because usually the envelope icon appears on the screen over night, then I get ready for work and leave the house. When my boyfriend has a morning shift, he is already gone so I turn my PC on and play some youtube videos while getting my eye makeup on, also check my FB while on the computer. On my way to work, I check my FB too, on those days when my boy has an evening shift and is still sleeping so I am not turning my PC on because I do not wanna wake him up. After I arrive to work, I turn my PC on there, log in to my work gmail and turn on my FB to have it on a background all day so I can constantly chat, check new stuff, share, comment and like all day. All day I chat with my boyfriend via google talk on my phone. During lunch break I check my e-mails, read some posts, newsletters and facebook stuff, browse my favorite paleo sites for new posts or recipes, read some news, gossips… and when I arrive home from work, first thing I do it turn my PC on and open FB again.
I don't wanna do that anymore, I need less of this. Even though FB is the only way to stay in contact with my two girls, Indre and Vita, there is no way I am letting FB take over my free time away from computer. I used to read a lot. I used to workout a lot more. I used to do much more stuff AFK than I do now, and lately all I do is check my FB. Even at work when I am not sitting at my desk, I check FB from my phone. ENOUGH. Sometimes I give myself a FB weekend off, and I always like it A LOT. Today this idea formed in my head to try the whole WEEK (7 days!) without internet access. Which means, no Facebook, no forums, no youtube, no nothing. There should be some exceptions, and I will talk about those below. I do not remember days before being online all the time and I think this will be a fun reminder of what FREE TIME actually means.
I still have to use my computer at work and I have to work online sometimes (googling stuff or so), so I cannot 100% disconnect, and because I am still unfamiliar with local buses and trains, I will still use some android apps to find me a bus home. Rules should probably be like this.
For a week (7 days), starting Monday 14th October, I will disconnect my home PC from the internet and I will NOT use it for the complete 7 days. At work, I will only use internet for job purposes, no personal uses. On my phone I will only use e-banking app, bus app and google talk to message with my boyfriend (I have to do that, not because of the app, but because of HIM, if you know me a bit, you know why). I can use my phone to do regular phonecalls and text messages of course. I can only check my e-mails at work (cause my home PC will be disconnected) and only during lunch break. I will only read and deal with IMPORTANT e-mails, ignoring things like newsletters, ads, spams… everything that can be delayed. My tablet will stay turned OFF for the whole week. No instagram, no youtube. I can read on my Kindle though, but only stuff that is already in there, no browsing the Kindle store! So basically my PC will be only used as a TV :) I can't even ask other people to "google that for me," and for every cheat I make, I will have to add one day of internet break to the week. Sounds fun, huh?
I will make notes and build a blogpost based on them on Monday 21st October (in case I will have no additional days). Once I am done with this "internet break," I will evaluate it and consider if there are any things I can get rid of permanently (e-mail subscriptions, accounts, website shortcuts, Youtube channels..). I expect to have a great time during my disconnected week and I am looking forward to enjoy my free time the old way, the better way.
This experiment is lightly based on my experience with Primal Connection book I recently read, which I will for sure review soon. I wanna read throught it once again before I do that, but I have so much stuff to read right now, it will be done till the end of the year though. ;)

The Center for Educational Renewal focuses on education and promoting positive social change through the education of exemplary teachers. The Center partners with local agencies, develops alternative ways for preparing teachers, and promotes meaningful study of the problems of today's educational systems.
One alternative program, Georgia TAPP at Wesleyan, placed dozens of teachers in local elementary schools, mostly Title 1 designated. Another program, Pioneer Teachers Program, allowed an opportunity for the best paraprofessionals from Bibb County to come back to college to complete their degrees at night and on the weekends and then return as full-fledged teachers to the local school system they already know so well. These programs exemplify Wesleyan's commitment to helping solve the problems our community faces.

Rockets look bad… but my fantasy team looks good
Tough loss last night vs. Memphis, but the Rockets really never really got up for the game. Several chances to put away the Grizz, but they just let 'em hang around and you know what happens when you let a team with a lot to prove hang around. The Rox old hats seem like they're […] [Read More]
Yao Ming is not on my fantasy team
He is the new PER truth of ESPN's John Hollinger. And with the prospect of seeing him going through the high post, visions of 3.2 assists per game and no injuries danced through my head.

Yao comfortable with 'too many choices'
Following Houston's standing army's rout of the Dallas JV squad, Yao Ming, speaking to Chron's own Jonathan Feigen, reassured everyone of his smooth transition to the Adelman offense: "I felt very comfortable where I was getting on the court and shooting the ball from the paint or out to the perimeter; I felt full confidence," […] [Read More]

Yao kicks off Special Olympics without rain suppression
Well worth missing Media Day in Houston, Yao Ming helped kick off "the biggest ever" Special Olympics World Summer Games on Tuesday "for a record 7,300 mentally [sic] disabled athletes."

Report Prepared By John Harris
**Combine measurements
**Arm/Hand Measurements
TSV videos provided by Draft Breakdown
First three plays - lines up in different spot each play - X, then Z and then in the slot
0:41 Watch him "dig" out the DB on the run play with inside leverage, impressive
1:11 WOW, the burst after the catch, tears past four USC DBs
1:38 Plants outside foot and BOOM he's left the DB in dust - creates yards of space
Matthews is rated as the third best WR on our board (as of January 8, 2014 - he's No. 14) and many may not have seen him play. He's Vanderbilt's all-time leading receiver in nearly every single category that you can think of and then some. He'll leave Vanderbilt holding plenty of SEC records at receiver as well and that was playing in an offense that didn't throw the ball as much as you'd expect with a player of his talent.
Many things stand out about Matthews, but one thing that really hit me occurred in the opening game of the season vs. Ole Miss. Throughout the summer, Matthews received a ton of hype as one of the best players in the nation, not just the SEC. In fact, heading into said opener against Ole Miss, he was truly the only weapon Vanderbilt had on offense. Now, don't get me wrong, the Commodores had some fine players, but without former WR mate Chris Boyd (suspended all year), Matthews was THE guy that could change the game. Vandy knew it. Ole Miss HAD to know it.
And, the Rebels couldn't stop him.
He finished with ten catches for 178 yards and a touchdown. But, in the second half of that game, he was exhausted. He took an IV, came back in the game. He caught a key third catch with just over two minutes left, got drilled, threw up all over the field. He then came back four plays later and caught his tenth pass of the game on 4th and 18 for the biggest first down of the game. But, after Ole Miss had scored to take the lead, Matthews had a pass bounce off his hands that ended up in the hands of an Ole Miss DB. Matthews was distraught on the sideline; he thought he had cost his team the game. Yet, Ole Miss beats Vandy by three touchdowns if Matthews didn't completely sell out all over that field in 95 degree heat.
Vanderbilt used him all over the field - Z, X, in the slot and even as a tight Y on occasion. Either way, he's got scary athleticism, body control and explosiveness. He's a lot like Houston Texans WR Deandre Hopkins was coming out of Clemson but Matthews is more polished in the finer things of the game. The WR class is LOAD-ED so there's no telling where he'll land, but an NFL team will get an NFL ready player on day one.

While writing my book chapter on the history of U.S. diplomacy with North Korea and while preparing for a trip to South Korea to conduct interviews a couple years back, I had to get smart on Korea quickly, and hit the books. There is no shortage of books out there: Don Oberdorfer, The Two Koreas; Narushige Michishita's North Korea's Military-Diplomatic Campaigns; Joel S. Wit, Daniel B. Poneman, and Robert L. Gallucci's Going Critical; Leon Sigal's Disarming Strangers, and Bradley Martin's Under the Loving Care of the Fatherly Leader, among others. One stood out, however: Chuck Downs' Over the Line. Downs, a former Pentagon official, traces North Korean negotiating behavior from the Armistice through the 1990s. He emphasizes the importance of negotiating strategy:
How this small, relatively powerless nation uses negotiation to advance domestic oppression and foreign intimidation deserves careful scrutiny. Although North Korea brings very little to the negotiating table, it has consistently won benefits that strengthen the regime's political control and improve its military capabilities… Were it not for the regime's careful and clever management of the process of negotiation, few people outside the Korean peninsula would have had any real reason to concern themselves with North Korea. The negotiating process, and North Korea's manipulation of it, is what makes North Korea matter at all.
During the George H.W. Bush administration, Kim Il Sung, for example, played both Secretary of State James Baker and National Security Adviser Brent Scowcroft for fools. North Korean officials would first reveal information to generate concern, and then the regime would suddenly cut access, watching as Western desperation grew, ending ultimately in concession. Making mincemeat out of Jimmy Carter, former Clinton-era ambassador (and Emory University president) James Laney, Bill Richardson, and Chris Hill was even easier.
Downs, who has also served as executive director of Committee for Human Rights in North Korea, highlights the importance of Korean culture, and explains how the North Koreans would often seek to score cultural points and humiliate American diplomats—with everything from rhetoric to seat height—with some American officials being none the wiser.
I read a lot and can often be cynical about books—especially nowadays when so many authors seek to promote their own narrative and worry more about legacy than truth. Over the Line stood out, however. It is far, and is the best example I have ever seen of an author explaining the nuances and importance of culture. When I have taught Iran, Afghanistan, or the other subjects in which I normally involve myself, this still goes on the reading list. And with the current crisis in Korea, it remains the best resource, be it for a policy maker, outside observer, or diplomat.

Motorola announced a trio of mid-range devices launching on AT&T back at CTIA: the Flipout, Flipside, and Bravo. The first has already landed in stores, and it looks like the wait won't be long for the latter two. Dummy units of the Flipside and Bravo have started making their way to Costco stores for an eventual AT&T release. Both handsets offer an inexpensive foray into Android, but it comes at the additional cost of AT&T insisting on locking down all of their Android devices.

I know I'm going to ruin a perfectly good picture of the world's most glorious all-in-one breakfast device by putting words underneath it, but my enthusiasm can be stayed for no longer! This is the contraption that I require to make my breakfast-making dreams complete. It is what haunts my every waking hour as I pour a measly bowl of cereal on a frigid Monday morning. NAY - It is what I imagine coming down the mountain from the east after the first light on the fifth day to save me from morning fatigue. It is the breakfast creator that we both need AND deserve.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, please bury me with one of these so I can take it with me to the afterlife.
Good morning WINners! I found a little breakfast item that may help your post-New Year's hangover a little bit. Out of all the other options, I think this may be the best one to help with that ringing in your head.
WARNING: Some lyrics are way too fresh for work. The food, however, is totally work safe.

Disney has just released a Muppets app for Apple's iOS devices as well as for Android. Of course, I downloaded it right away. I'm playing on iPad.
The game is a freemium model sort of experience in which you reunite the Muppets and attempt to accomplish goals along the way. You use diamonds and coins to buy and place items and Muppets on the stage. Different tasks take different lengths of time to complete . . . all of which can be speeded up by spending diamonds. Got it? Good!
It's essentially a musical adventure as you attempt to create a Muppet band. As musical Muppets are added, their rifts play out for you. I've placed Animal on the drums and Fozzy Bear on the piano so far. Of course, Statler and Waldorf (those sharp tongued old guys from the theater box) are around to keep everything light and whimsical.
If it all sounds a bit too easy, I should mention that there is also a theater to maintain and run. You'll be asked to do things like place a snack bar, feed the Muppets (to level them up), light the lights, remove cones, clean things up, etc. If you've played Farmville, you've got the general idea, but the graphics and music here is vastly superior. In all, there are about 20 Muppets for you to find, including your favorites like Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzy, Sam the Eagle, as well as some new Muppets.
Along the way, you'll be able to create new stages and new songs. You can even use Dr. Bunson Honeydew & Beaker's inventions to send Muppets on special missions to recruit star Muppets for the stage. There's really so much to do that this game doesn't get repetitive or boring too quickly, as other freemium games can.
It's mostly a fun game that you can play in short bursts as your time allows. I'm having a good time with it so far. However, there are a few frustrating things. If you walk away from your phone or iPad and it goes to sleep, it can take quite a while for your game to "reconnect." Also, it takes diamonds to do certain things, so you'll run through them quickly. Sure, you can earn diamonds in the game and continue to play slowly. But if you are impatient as I am, you'll find that pace too slow. Of course, more diamonds can be purchased in-app or you can earn free ones for doing things like signing up for Publisher's Clearing House, signing up for a free credit report, etc.
Here's the teaser video from Disney:
You can download My Muppets Show for free on iOS devices at http://di.sn/cGo and on Android at http://di.sn/gHJ.
It's Time to Play the Music, It's Time to Light the Lights, It's Time to Meet the Muppets in My Muppets Show Tonight!
Has anyone else downloaded this yet? What do you think?

Lee Clark's men currently lie in 14th place in the table, only seven points clear of the relegation zone having dropped out of the Premier League two seasons ago.
Mowbray told the club's official website: "Birmingham have had an up and down season.
"They're a big city club not long out of the Premier League, and I'm sure their supporters have high expectations.
"But they are not managing to achieve them at this moment in what is a very tough league."

Diving Finishes Day One at NCAA Zones
MORGANTOWN, W.Va.– The West Virginia University diving squad completed the first day of competition at the NCAA Zone "A" Championships at the Christiansburg Aquatic Center at Virginia Tech.
Six divers were in the field for the Mountaineers today, competing in both the men's 1-meter and the women's 3-meter board.
"It was a tough contest for the men and women. I'm pleased with the divers today. The men gave an honest effort, and were just short of finals," said diving coach Michael Grapner.
Sophomore Haily VandePoel continued her impressive season, placing seventh overall in the 3-meter with a score of 293.10, Freshman Lindsay Schmidt placed 25th with a score of 234.25, while sophomore Jenn Rey placed 34th with a score of 203.90.
"Haily VandePoel had an outstanding day on the 3-meter, fifth after prelims, and seventh overall," said Grapner. "Her goal was top eight and she accomplished that goal today."
In the men's event, juniors Richard Pokorny, and Liam McLaughlin, placed 20th (262.20), and 22nd (258.45), respectively. Freshman Christian Parker placed 37th with a score of 223.30.
"Tomorrow is another full day of competition and I feel good about it," said Grapner.
Tomorrow's competition includes the women's 1-meter and the men's 3-meter. A full recap will be available on WVUsports.com.

I don't understand how this restaurant got any good reviews. The atmosphere lacked ambiance, the food was greasy, the music left a lot to be desired. Don't waste your time here. I would rather have eaten elsewhere.

Valet or easy street parking, good size drinks, decent wine. Get there early on Fri-Sat. This is a blue collar neighborhood place, not some hoity-toity Taylor street place where everything costs 25% more. At lunchtime, you'll find plenty of lawyers, judges (and a few defendants) from 26th and Cal chowing down there. I enjoy the lasagna, several of the veal dishes, and their huge salads. If you're a real food connoisseur, maybe it's not for you. But for the average taste, it's good food in a fun atmosphere, especially if you sit in the front room.

ever since Febos closed in 1996 we have been going here for our family birthdays anniverseries and celebrations...try the veal parmagiana(sp) supereb...love the pizza bread...the meat sauce is meaty and tasty...we love the place try it out but be ready for a loud atmosphere...but thats okay the food and service is great

Had read great reviews and even had recommendations but something must have really changed. Perhaps a new chef? Osso Buco was more like stew. Spaghetti was undercooked, meat sauce was meat but no sauce and very bland. Ravioli were more like dumplings and also bland. Not even sure what was in them. Tiramisu was passable but we've had much better. Will not return.

Every review of this restaurant was positive -- but we were very disappointed. We thought we beat the standard expensive Chicago dining experience when we arrived. Cozy, family style environment. And the wine and the salads were ok. But the home made ravioli (mine with crab and shrimp) was chewy and in some cream sause of some kind. I expected crab meat and chunks of shrimp -- it was some paste of some kind that was so overwhelmed by the not very impression cream sause (their version of marinara?). Linda's veal saltibucca (sorry for the spelling) was a tad on the dry side while still being greasy. The side of pasta with meat sauce was, for meat sauce, bland and flavorless and to top it off, no freshly ground cheese to add to anything. To top it off, we couldn't even get a cab to take us away after the disappointing experience. Eat here at your own risk.

COLUMBIA CITY — The Navigators are all about empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. At Passages, Inc., after a campaign and election of officers, attendance has increased fivefold in the past year.
"Passages has always had a group that met but now we've got a name, officers and a mission statement," said Mary Hunnicutt, Passages director of supported living and admissions.
Officers of the Navigators at Passages are Tina Lough, president; Mike Parker, vice president; Nathaniel (Than) Boutelle, secretary; Connie Brockup, treasurer and Jonathan Morris, sergeant of arms.
The officers came up with a mission statement: "Catch the Vision … Capture the Magic!" The mission statement reflects the clients' ability to learn their rights and to speak about those rights and responsibilities for themselves and other people with disabilities.
It also enables them to help people with disabilities understand their rights, learn to run a self-advocacy group, encourage self-advocates to meet in this community, speak out to this community about self advocacy and learn to communicate so that others can understand.
"The self advocacy movement is about making sure that people with disabilities are treated as equals, with the right to the same choices, responsibilities and chances as everybody else," said Hunnicutt.

France and China are in discussions over the possibility of the Chinese air force acquiring the Dassault Rafale next-generation fighter aircraft.
Chinese officials, including senior procurement officers, initially visited Dassault in 1996, while, more recently, French representatives, including those from Rafale engine manufacturer Snecma, have spent a considerable amount of time in Beijing.
Dassault and Snecma confirm that there is Chinese interest in the French fighter, and the associated M88 engine, but decline to comment further.
The Chinese air force has several fighter-development programmes under way, including the Chengdu F-10 and FC-1, as well as licensed manufacture of the Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker.
Given the development work under way, Chinese sources suggest that the air force's main interest is not in the Rafale, but in acquiring the M88 engine. The F-10 (being developed with Israeli co-operation) and the FC-1 are initially intended to be powered by Russian engines, the Klimov RD-93 and the Lyulka/Saturn AL-31F respectively. China's aim may be to find an alternative source of combat-aircraft engines to those from Russia.
Beijing sources suggest that French officials are trying to tie the release of the M88 to the Rafale, rather than discuss the powerplant independently. Dassault is keen to find an export customer for the Rafale, given the limited orders it has so far from the French armed services. Some estimates suggest that, between 2005 and 2014, the air force will receive around only 140 Rafales. Deliveries of the naval version began earlier.
Such a low rate of production will inevitably have an unwelcome impact on unit costs.

In Spanish, they are known as the desaparecidos, "the disappeared." Father James Francis Guadalupe Carney, a Jesuit priest from St. Louis, is among them, having vanished in Honduras in 1983. Only his chalice and stole were recovered from the jungles of Olancho Department, a mountainous interior province of the country. To date, those suspected of his presumed murder, members of a government-sanctioned death squad, have never been brought to justice.
In a declassified report released recently, the CIA allows for at least four possible explanations as to what happened to Carney, based on its intelligence reports: The priest may have been killed in a skirmish between the Honduran army and the communist guerrillas he was accompanying. Or he may have been captured by Honduran forces and subsequently tortured and dismembered by a paramilitary death squad. Other possibilities include starving to death in the jungle or dying on impact -- after being thrown from a helicopter.
More than 75 pages of the redacted CIA analysis have been completely blacked out. One of the sentences spared by the censor's pen succinctly concludes: "The precise fate of Carney remains unknown to CIA."
The Carney case is one of 184 confirmed disappearances that took place in the 1980s that are still under investigation by the Honduran national commissioner for human rights, Leo Valladares Lanza. In his two interim reports, the commissioner has suggested that many of the victims were likely kidnapped, tortured and killed by a military-intelligence unit, then under the direction of the late Honduran strongman Gustavo Alvarez Martinez. The death squad operated with impunity, targeting teachers, union leaders, clergy and other suspected left-wing subversives.
Still more alarming are the commissioner's findings that U.S. personnel tacitly approved of Alvarez's orders to kill Carney.
Not surprisingly, Honduran government documents relevant to these paramilitary activities have now disappeared as well. Stymied on the home front, the human-rights commissioner has turned his efforts northward, asking the cooperation of various elements of the U.S. government, including the CIA. Valladares is being aided in his efforts in the United States by the National Security Archive, a nongovernment research institute.
"The families of the disappeared have a right to know what happened to their loved ones," says Susan Peacock of the National Security Archive. "If there is no repentance by the perpetrators of these atrocities, it will be difficult for the families to forgive them." There are moves afoot in Honduras to "officially" forget the crimes and grant amnesty to the perpetrators, she adds.
St. Louisans Eileen and Joseph Connolly, Carney's sister and brother-in-law, have certainly not forgotten, however. The two Clayton-based psychologists have spent the past 15 years seeking the truth about the priest's disappearance. They have traveled to Honduras to investigate the case. They have filed Freedom of Information Act requests and appeals. When all else failed, Carney's family went to federal court in 1988, suing U.S. military and intelligence agencies for the release of pertinent information. After reviewing the case, a federal judge in 1991 denied their petition for reasons of national security.
"We had great obstacles over the 15 years," says Joseph Connolly. "At times we believed our phones were tapped, times when we were fearful for our lives in Honduras. The CIA has elements who I think are very evil and very corruptive of the American way of life."
With his wife now seriously ill, Connolly has declined to inform her of the latest developments in the case. In part because of the family's diligence, the Honduran government's formal diplomatic requests and a related 1995 series in the Baltimore Sun, the CIA was compelled to investigate its role in Honduras in the 1980s. A declassified version of the agency's report was obtained by The Riverfront Times from the National Security Archive. The heavily censored document raises as many questions as it answers.
Carney's life and the reason he sacrificed it are less mysterious. The Jesuit, who attended St. Louis University (SLU), died for the same redemptive purpose he lived: the salvation of the poor in Honduras. Their struggle became his. Carney dedicated himself to the liberation of the oppressed, an apostolate that required living in poverty. His uncompromising beliefs would lead him to challenge established Roman Catholic Church doctrine and Honduran governmental repression.
"This liberation theology really only penetrated with force into the Honduran church after the Latin-American Bishops' Conference in Medellin, Colombia, in 1968," Carney would later write. "Nonetheless, many of us were already interpreting and teaching the gospel of Christ in this liberating sense long before that time."
As a result of following his convictions, he would renounce his American citizenship, be deported from his adopted homeland of Honduras, resign from his religious order and, ultimately, die.
In the years preceding his disappearance, Carney wrote his autobiography, To Be a Revolutionary, by candlelight, while living in exile as the parish priest in the towns of Ocotal and San Juan de Lemay, Nicaragua. When he finished, he asked the Connollys to come down and pick up the manuscript. It would be the last time they saw him. Sometime around July 19, 1983, Carney returned to Honduras, accompanying a group of 96 guerrillas belonging to the Central American Revolutionary Workers Party-Honduras. What happened next depends on your interpretation of the apocrypha yielded by the confessions of captured guerrillas, some or all of whom were later either executed or died trying to escape the custody of the Honduran military.

The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office has applied for several grants to help continue various operations in the county.
Sheriff Barry Faile recently submitted his recommendations for grants his office needs to County Council.
The first priority, he said, is to renew a gang investigator grant that addresses gang enforcement and education. With at least 12 gangs identified in the county, the grant will allow the office to have a full-time employee compiling data on gang members.
I am writing to you about the history that happened Tuesday that changed the world. I am part of a majority Democrat family.
These last two years of history I have been living through are unbelievable. First, we had an African-American candidate to run. Then we had an African-American to make it as one of the top two candidates. Then, if all that wasn't enough, President Barack Obama won the presidential election.
I am so mad at Gov. Mark Sanford for thinking of closing the University of South Carolina at Lancaster campus. It really makes me mad. Add to that the county is building a new courthouse. There are existing buildings that could suffice for that use. Our children and grandchildren need the campus to expand their education. Higher education is so important to our community and our children. Our children are our future and Gov. Sanford wants to take this campus from them. What is this telling our children?
I agree with Steve Willis. Gov. Sanford is certified squirrel bait.
A tanker driver involved in a fiery crash Tuesday told his rescuers to leave him inside his truck because he thought it was going to blow up.
Brent Lowery of Lancaster helped pull Stanley W. Perry, 53, of Charlotte, from an overturned tanker at U.S. 521 and Twilight Road. Perry was transporting 8,000 gallons of gasoline.
Lowery said he was headed south on U.S. 521 and got on the entrance ramp at S.C. 903 when he saw a commotion farther down U.S. 521.
Lancaster native and former Gov. Jim Hodges will be closer than most people during Barack Obama's inauguration ceremony Tuesday on Capital Hill.
Hodges, who served as a national co-chair for Obama's presidential campaign, was able to secure tickets to witness the swearing in of the 44th president and the nation's first black president.
Hodges and his family flew out from Columbia on Saturday morning and will return from Washington, D.C., on Wednesday.
INDIAN LAND – The Lancaster County Sheriff's Office is warning Panhandle residents to lock their cars at night.
Five break-ins were reported overnight on Jan. 9 in Indian Land neighborhoods, including Bridgehampton, Glen Laurel, Windsor Trace and Hanover, said Lancaster County Sheriff Barry Faile.
On Ashby Lane in Windsor Trace, a man warmed up his car while he took his dogs for a walk about 8:30 a.m. Jan. 9.
When he returned to the car, he found that his Cobra radar detector had been taken.
Four Lancaster men were arrested on drug and gun charges after a search warrant at a South York Street home Thursday.
Sheriff Barry Faile said the search warrant was obtained after a controlled drug buy by the sheriff's officer at 307 S. York St.
The men arrested and their charges are:
Jim Shore, creator of the Lancaster County Chamber of Commerce's limited edition historic sites series in 1993 and now a nationally known award-winning American folk artist, will be guest speaker at the 53rd annual meeting of the chamber on Jan. 29.
Founders Federal Credit Union is the presenting sponsor of the annual meeting.
The event will be held at the Fairway Room at the Lancaster Golf Club, beginning at 6:15 p.m., with a reception preceding the dinner meeting.
INDIAN LAND – Healing Horses held a festival and fundraiser Dec. 7 at Larkspur Ranch to raise money for the hay bank.
Many horse owners are having trouble buying feed and hay for their horses.
When they approach Healing Horses with a demonstrated need for assistance, they are able to get help with hay and feed over the winter.
Healing Horses is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the rescue and rehabilitation of area horses that are victims of trauma or abuse.
Thelathia Bailey wants to ensure that local college students don't miss out on Tuesday's historic inauguration day.
Bailey, who oversees the TriO program at the University of South Carolina at Lancaster, has helped organize a viewing party for Barack Obama's inauguration as the 44th president.
The viewing, co-sponsored by USCL's student government association, will be held at the TriO Learning Resource Center, adjacent to the Medford Library.

{wild wednesday} indoor tailgating
Things are a lil' crazy around here 'cuz it's…
…and we've got FOOTBALL FEVER around the PiG PeN!
On Monday I shared the invitations we created for our client, Shannon. Today I'm sharing a lil' indoor tailgating party I put together featuring the coordinating party décor—the Game Day Collection.
Whether tailgating outside or indoors, I like to create a menu that I can make ahead, keep warm or cold and serve with as little fuss as possible before the big game! I served up this tailgate indoors but I would do the exact same set up minus the paper plate backdrop in the back of our trucklette.
Our signature paper plate backdrop consisted of two rows of silver plates and one row of blue plates to represent the stadium and the sky. I added "fan" paper from the collection to the centers of the plates to represent the cheering section. The tassel garland in my team's colors was hung above the "stadium." The backdrop was finished off with a banner hung with mini clothespins on yellow and white twine.
To keep the clean-up before the game to a minimum, the hubs made snack boxes out of a piece of the collection's paper. The boxes were lined with wax paper and a napkin was placed in each one. Hot Apple Cider served in to-go cups makes it easy for guests to grab a drink quickly.
Guests fill their snack box with no fuss food—turkey sausage skewers, chili, mini grilled cheese sandwiches, caprese salad stix and chips-n-dip. The food is served in a football chip-n-dip dish and bucket leftover from our Charlie Brown-Inspired Birthday.
{J and I think this lil' grilled cheese either has lips with two moles or is a lil' monster saying, "Blah!"}
Hank's Hint: Every penny counts when you love to entertain. Instead of buying the more expensive lil' bags of chips, buy a large bag on sale and package in reclosable sandwich bags. You might even find some in your team's colors…on sale!
When I was ordering supplies for my sister's birthday party, I added these adorable football skewers from Pick On Us to my shopping cart. I knew they would be perfect to use throughout the football season.
The sweet treats included Oatmeal Pie Footballs which I found here on Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons and Football Favor Boxes filled with Michigan Trail Mix. The trail mix was made with whatever I had on hand—honey roasted peanuts, pretzel twists and sunflower seeds mixed with blue and yellow M&Ms. I also made up a few extra servings of trail mix for those fourth quarter munchies.
Hank's Hint: Buying single colored candy can be expensive. Instead, buy a regular bag and separate the colors in less than 5 minutes. It's also a fun project for a lil' kitchen helper!
The printable Game Day Collection has everything you need to cheer on your team or celebrate your lil' sport's birthday! The collection includes Banners, Party Signs, Party Cards, Favor Tags, Lil' Party Tags, Coordinating Paper and Football Favor Boxes. Most of the items also include a "Create-Your-Own" version so you can personalize your party as much or as little as you want!
By keeping the menu simple, using leftover servingware and reusing décor from other parties—tissue paper tassels, paper plates, twine, to-go cups, mini spoons, condiment cups, confetti, football dish and bucket—I was able to pull this party together in just a few hours.
I hope you're inspired to tailgate with as lil' fuss as possible!

I ordered these sunglasses to use as an outfielder and they work great. they are extremely clear and have worked well all season. they are a good size too, not to large or small.
Pros: great durability, fit, and look
Cons: can fog up at times if you don't have ventilated lenses
Bottom Line: I would recommend to a friend

Feb. 18, 2012
ATHENS, Ga. ---- The fourth-ranked Georgia Gym Dogs defeated Kentucky with a score of 197.225-193.125 in the annual Pink Out meet Saturday at Stegeman Coliseum.
The Gym Dogs, now 5-2, 4-1 in the SEC, were paced by season-high team scores on vault, bars and floor to out-pace the Wildcats (3-6, 0-5 in the SEC).
"It's good to see the growth that we can go into a meet that we know we should win and be able to execute as well as we did," said Georgia head coach Jay Clark. "Not to take away anything from Kentucky, because I know those are some new coaches over there. I know they're better than what they did tonight. I was just proud that we were able to stay focused no matter what the opponent was doing."
Kat Ding won the all-around for the second time this season, tying her career-high of 39.550 that she scored Feb. 10 against Arkansas. Led by two 9.9s, including a season-high score on floor, Ding, who was sparked by tying her season-high vault score of 9.925, also scored two 9.9s, one on bars and another season-high 9.9 on floor.
Three Gym Dogs saw action for the first time this season. Kati Breazeal, who competed for the first time as a Gym Dog, scored a 9.75 on vault and 9.775 on beam. Laura Moffat received a season-high 9.825 on beam for her first time in competition this season. Mariel Box, who competed on floor in place of Christa Tanella, performed for the first time this season to earn a 9.825.
"It was encouraging to see the girls step up to the plate," said Clark. "I'm pleased all the way around. Mariel went out at the last minute on floor for Christa. Moffat was just solid. Three in a row that she's been solid on beam. I'm excited for those kids and that they were able to get it in and get it done tonight."
Georgia got off to a great start with a season-high 49.375 team score, highlighted by back-to-back 9.925s by Cat Hires and Kat Ding, also a career-high for Hires.
The Gym Dogs extended their lead after another season-high team score of 49.375 on bars led by a pair of 9.9s by Chelsea Davis, a career-high, and Kat Ding.
Georgia was paced by two 9.8s by Noel Couch and Sarah Persinger and two 9.825s by Laura Moffatt and Kat Ding for an overall beam score of 49.025.
On the final rotation, the Gym Dogs solidified the win with a season-high team floor score of 49.450 led by season high routines by Mariel Box with a 9.825, Kat Ding with a 9.9, Gina Nuccio with a career-high 9.925. The team floor score was the highest since the N.C. State meet in 2010.
Georgia travels to Gainesville, Fla. to face the No. 2 ranked Florida Gators on Friday, Feb. 24 at 7:00 p.m.

Officials woo county commissioners for funds in next budget
Sheriff asks for $867,000 to pay 29 new employees
Nueces County officials presented their wish lists to commissioners this week, signaling the start of the budget process.
County Judge Loyd Neal and commissioners received the proposed budget and have been meeting each morning this week to go over the numbers.
Putting prices to the wishes, and determining which wishes should be funded, are the first steps in planning the expenditure side of the county's budget.
Neal said he's not made any decisions yet about what to spend or what will be the focus of the county's finances.
"We're listening now," he said. "This whole process is just listening."
The presentations give department heads a chance to submit their written requests and talk over any increases or major changes, said Auditor Peggy Hayes. There is no overall county budget yet, so it's too early to see how it compares with previous years. Hayes said county staff will work to put the requests together in the coming weeks.
The other side of the budget process is setting a tax rate and calculating revenue based on property taxes and fees. The goal is to have a balanced budget where revenues match expenses. If spending exceeds revenue, the county must dip into its savings, called a fund balance, to cover the difference.
Sheriff Jim Kaelin presented his budget requests Friday. He asked for 17 more corrections officers and five jail supervisors, four more deputies for patrol and three more for courthouse security at a cost of $867,748.
"We need them to continue to keep up with calls for services and our responsibilities in the county," he said.
The sheriff's department currently has 318 employees and the jail must comply with a state-mandated ratio of 1 officer per 48 inmates. Kaelin said he expects to spend about $1.5 million in overtime this year, and could reduce that if he could keep at full staff. The demands on a corrections officer result in high turnover, he said, but a new recruiting effort is targeting high school seniors and appears to be successful.
"Seventeen more correctional officers will put us in good standing to operate this facility as it should be," he said. "Any help we could have would be great."
Commissioner Oscar Ortiz said constables should be factored in when talking about law enforcement in the county.
"We have quite an investment in patrol people out in the county," he said.
Commissioners will hear more presentations next week. Staff will spend about three weeks reviewing the data and then conduct several budget workshops through August, Neal said.
"Then we'll try to piece together what we can," he said.
The budget and tax rate will be voted on by the commissioners court Aug. 29.

Is Getting Her Cell Number Ever Okay?
reader's questionHey Doc,
I've been studying your laws of relationships for quite some time now. I've read "The System" about six times over and have practically memorized the entire volume from cover to cover, so I know how you feel about the necessity of getting the home phone number. That's where my question arises. How would you deal with a girl who only has a cell phone and thus only a cell phone number?
This is the case where I live in China. Many people who live in southern China came from the northern part of the country and are very poor. They only rent their houses and cannot afford to connect a home phone. As a result, many of them only own cell phones — if they have phones at all.
here's my storyI met Hui at a restaurant where I work. She came in to eat, I was very attracted to her, and, as per your instructions, asked for her home phone number. When she gave it to me, I called and it turned out to be her cell phone. I didn't leave a message, because it didn't conform to your rules.
The next time I saw her, I asked for the home phone number again, and she told me that she didn't have one. (By the way, I verified this with my female cousin, who knows where Hui lives, so I have to assume that Hui was telling me the truth and not just trying to dodge me because of low Interest Level.)
One other question, Doc; your book seems to be written to apply to people with a high level of understanding, like Americans. Does "The System" really apply to women all over the world?
Thanks for all your advice.
Lawrence — who wants to know if he should dial again
doc love's answerHi Lawrence,
First of all, I'm very glad you mentioned the word "memorize," because that's what a lot of my students don't do. They don't memorize my techniques, and to really get them, to really make them as powerful as they can be, they have to be internalized and practiced , and so I want to complement you on your diligence. You've made a solid start toward becoming a master of dating strategy. As General Love says, "The guy who ventures onto the battlefield of dating unprepared is the guy who's setting himself up for disaster."
But it looks like you didn't quite memorize enough. Lawrence — you're talking to one female (your cousin) who's giving you advice on another female (Hui)? This is a fundamental error, and you'd know that if you paid closer attention to what you read in my book.
What if the two gals are tighter than you think (and chances are good they are)? If your conversation with your cousin gets back to Hui, all it does is show her that you're an insecure guy and can't do your own dirty work, in addition to the fact that you can't keep a secret. You just dropped 10 points on the Interest Level scale if your cousin has a big yap, and as my cousin "Fast Eddie" Love would say, "Show me one who doesn't!"
Never make any assumptions about women...

Product description
This extraordinarily wide-ranging work represents a new departure for contemporary literary theory. Author of Beginnings and the controversial Orientalism, Edward Said demonstrates that modern critical discourse has been impressively strengthened by the writings of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault, for example, and by such influences as Marxism, structuralism, linguistics, and psychoanalysis. He argues, however, that the various methods and schools have had a crippling effect through their tendency to force works of literature to meet the requirements of a theory or system, ignoring the complex affiliations binding the texts to the world. The critic must maintain a distance both from critical systems and from the dogmas and orthodoxies of the dominant culture, Said contends. He advocates freedom of consciousness and responsiveness to history, to the exigencies of the text, to political, social, and human values, to the heterogeneity of human experience. These characteristics are brilliantly exemplified in his own analyses of individual authors and works. Combining the principles and practice of criticism, the book offers illuminating investigations of a number of writers Swift, Conrad, Lukacs, Renan, and many others and of concepts such as repetition, originality, worldliness, and the roles of audiences, authors, and speakers. It asks daring questions, investigates problems of urgent significance, and gives a subtle yet powerful new meaning to the enterprise of criticism in modern society.

Review quote
[Said's] book is relaxed and discursive, original, immensely learned, fluently written. -- John Bayley New York Times Book Review This striking book...represents an imporant contribution to literary criticism as well as suggesting a new direction for criticism to take. Publishers Weekly It is a pleasure to read someone who not only has studied and thought so carefully but is also beginning to substantiate, as distinct from announcing, a genuinely emergent way of thinking. -- Raymond Williams The Guardian The intellectual excitment of each essay and the enlightening effect of the brilliant thinking and writing of the book as a whole move the reader to the recognition of Said's major contribution to contemporary literary critical theory and practice. English Literature in Transition Provocative and exacting; the essays provoke due interrogation of contemporary literary, and exact from the reader the care and conscientiousness the question at issue warrant...The book issues from a remarkably sharp intelligence, forcing us to face questions and possibilities that literary theorists on the whole prefer not even to raise. -- Denis Donoghue The New Republic
