Sharp Galapagos handsets 003SH and 005SH will have 3D displays without the need for glasses.
Sharp will be releasing two 3D Android handsets for Japan's Softbank network this coming December and February. The Sharp Galapagos 003SH (December) and 005SH (February) will not require the use of glasses for the 3D effect.
The Sharp Galapagos 003SH and 005SH will use the same autosteroscopic display system as the Nintendo 3DS. The touchscreen slate 003SH has a 9.6 megapixel camera with a 720p video, while The QWERTY-sliding 005SH only has an 8 megapixel camera, no word on the video capture. Both handsets are powered by a 1 GHz Snapdragon that runs Froyo as well as 3.8 inch 3D displays and 800 x 480 resolution.
Capcom is one of a few developers that already have a 3D content deal set up for the release of the phones. This includes games such as Mega Man, Resident Evil and Ghosts 'n Goblins, which will be available on the handsets on release.
If the launch goes well in Japan will there be 3D phones in the US and UK? We certainly hope so, the prospect sounds very intriguing. Let us know what you think about it via our Twitter or Facebook pages.

The world's earliest high-altitude settlements have been discovered—not in the mountainous ranges of the Himalayas, but in the steamy tropics of Papua New Guinea.
A team of archaeologists, which included the University of Queensland's Dr. Andrew Fairbairn, discovered the campsites, estimated to be 44,000-49,000 years old, in the Owen Stanley Ranges that tower over Papua New Guinea's capital, Port Moresby.
The sites, discovered at around 2,000 meters (1.25 miles), are estimated to have been settled during the last ice age, when Papua New Guinea was joined to Australia as part of the continent of Sahul. They are the highest altitude sites occupied by Homo sapiens ever recorded.
The findings were published this week in the respected journal Science.
Dr. Fairbairn said the prehistoric highlanders, who lived in the Ivane Valley near Kokoda, made stone tools, hunted small animals, and ate nuts of the local Pandanus tree.
"The volcanic ash layers seem to have produced a unique microenvironment that has fought off the rain and cold to preserve nutshells and yam leftovers, which are present in large quantities and gives us exciting and unique evidence of the diet of the first New Guineans," he said.
Archaeology team leader professor Glenn Summerhayes, from New Zealand's University of Otago, says the mountain campsites reveal that the early colonizers of Sahul, who crossed the open ocean from Southeast Asia, were able to push rapidly beyond the coastal areas to inhabit interior mountain regions.
"The sites are among the oldest and best preserved for this key period in Sahul's past, and show that as humans were moving north into the colder climate regions of Europe from their ancestral home of Africa, they were also able to colonize upward into the cold of the high altitude zone," he said.

Donald Trump demands Obama's records for... five million dollars
An offer he "can't refuse", but probably will refuse.
An offer he "can't refuse", but probably will refuse.
by Martha Gill Published
Donald Trump has made a video asking Obama to release his college records, applications and passport information, saying that in return he will give $5m to a charity of Obama's choice. There has been widespread and fervid speculation that Obama will probably ignore the request.
But why $5m? Is a particularly good rate for college application information these days? Or is it just the current "offer one can't refuse"? Who decides these things? It's hard to say at this point: all we can be sure of is that before making the video Trump and his assistants had a conversation almost exactly like this one:

Easier Said than Done: Proving Adultery in Mississippi Divorces
Adultery is one of the most utilized grounds for divorce. As unfortunate as it may sound, many spouses commit adultery. There are countless psycho-social studies and surveys aimed at figuring out "why" spouses engage in adulterous activity. But, in the divorce context in Mississippi, why a spouse commits adultery is not really all that important. When considering divorce on grounds of adultery in Mississippi, a person should know (1) the definition of "adultery" and (2) how to prove it.
Defining Adultery
Most people associate "cheating" with adultery. But, "cheating" is not necessarily always "adultery," because "cheating" is subject to varying interpretations. To some, "cheating" may merely involve intimate conversation with, or thoughts about, another person, without any physical contact; while others think only physical, sexual contact with another person qualifies as "cheating." Mississippi law adopts the latter in its definition of "adultery." Mississippi law defines adultery as the "voluntary sexual intercourse on the part of either spouse with a person other than his or her own spouse." Owen v. Gerity, 422 So. 2d 284, 287 (Miss. 1982) (emphasis added). Also, it does not matter how frequent, or infrequent, a spouse commits adultery. As the Mississippi Supreme Court has explained, "a one night stand does not make [] sexual misconduct any less adulterous." Davis v. Davis, 832 So. 2d 492, 496 (Miss. 2002). So, adultery involves sexual intercourse with a third-person, and one instance of such conduct is enough to be characterized as adultery in Mississippi.

Obama Praises St. Louis' LaunchCode
By Lindsay Toler
By Lindsay Toler
At 14, Andy won painful fame as the rope in his parents' tug-o'-war custody battle. Horses proved less disappointing than people, though, and he spent his calmest hours riding. At 18, he began playing polo, an ancient, civilized sort of warfare that required hot blood and a cool head. Horses, he insists, are more than 80 percent of the game, and he dwells on the need to be so attuned to the animal that you're almost centaurlike, one body: "You play to each horse's potential. With a fast horse, I can take more chances, play just a length or two behind somebody." Yet his favorite mount is Rico, "who's not necessarily the fastest but has speed off the line, explosive speed -- he can be at full speed in eight yards -- and he's very bold, so if someone is in the way, you can power right through them."
Andy can do that in real life, too. But polo contains all the challenge a comfortable life lacks. Pulling every mental, physical and emotional skill a player can muster, it rewards him with a rush of speed and a physical immediacy he'll never find in a boardroom. Horses respond to tone and gesture and judgment, not lineage or stock portfolio.
A few paces away, his brother Billy Busch settles into a folding chair next to Chris Orthwein, flips up the lid of a cooler and gulps a cold beer. Asked how to spell chukker, the men start with "chucker" and abandon it; these are the golden brothers, somehow less serious than their darker siblings. "Andy paces before a game," notes a teammate, "and it's hard to get him settled down. But Billy's pretty easygoing. Not too many things bother Billy."
Polo carries him away from all the lore, though: the old gossip about unsuitable consorts and illegitimate children; the night he bit a guy's ear off in a bar; the time he asked a flight attendant to hold the plane till his Domino's arrived; the 10 years he took to earn his bachelor's degree at St. Louis University (he and Andy kept leaving to play polo). Now he's 42, married with six children, a beloved longtime board member of Epworth Center, where he plays pickup basketball with kids made aggressive by neglect and abuse.
The Busches and Orthweins and a smattering of the club's other, better players take their strings of ponies and spend weeks each winter in Polotown, U.S.A. -- Wellington, a suburb of West Palm Beach where the pink stucco buildings give way to a polo field every few miles and nobody does much except play. Games run faster and smoother there; even the ponies come back with refined technique. Andy and Billy finish the Florida season by competing in the big spring tournaments, then fly home for the start of the St. Louis club season, then head west for more tournaments. They are patrons (pronounced "puh-DRONES," from the Spanish), each sponsoring his own mixed pro and amateur team, and together they've won the U.S. Open, the Silver Cup, the America's Cup, the Pacific Open ...
Patron is a delicate role, often mocked in scathing whispers because he's the team's worst, wealthiest and most-humored player. Andy and Billy are actually pretty good players, though, Andy defensive and quick-reflexed, determined to control the tempo of the game, Billy more aggressive, running the field, "hitting a big ball." So says Hector Galindo, whose own 9-goal rating makes him one of the top 20 players in the world. He's been on retainer for the Busches the past six years (Andy invited him after he played against them in Florida and won). Before that, he played several years for Prince Charles, whom he pronounces "a pretty good defensive player and a very good sport."
Hector's slated to play in the St. Louis club's second benefit match, and at the very first practice the amateurs are predicting how he'll "open up" the game, adding flow and strategy, pulling together the haphazard galloping after the ball that can stammer the game with fouls and time-outs. After playing once with the St. Louis club, Hector will fly with Andy to Santa Barbara, Calif., to defend the America's Cup that Andy's Grant's Farm Manor team has won two years running, and fight to win back the Pacific Open title.
They've become good friends, these two, one the son of a Mexican groom who thought his child could do no wrong, the other the scion of a beer king whose footsteps fell huge and heavy. Their lives converged with polo, and now they eat dinner, play golf and take their families to amusement parks together. Hector loves his life; he has his own string of champion horses now, and he carries himself as proudly as they do. The only time his ready smile fades is when he talks about his dad, a racehorse groom from Chihuahua, Mexico, who insisted that his son had world-class talent but died before Hector could prove it.
This fall, Hector will travel south to help a Houston team win the Silver Cup, the Busches having won it six times already. "The Busches get first choice," he explains, "and I build the rest of my season when they're down." As for Andy, when the adrenaline of tournament season ebbs he'll send his horses off for 10 weeks of R&R. "A horse's idea of fun," he says, "is a big open grass field with shade trees and a pond to swim in."

This website is built for parents and students of Mrs. K's Writing and Reading classes. This will allow parents to know what is being taught throughout the year and give parents resources that they can use at home with their student.
Students will use this website to complete online class discussions and homework. Technology allows teachers and students to reach beyond the four walls of the normal classroom, and begin thinking and communicating at a more indepth level. It also allows everyone the opportunity to participate in class where there are limited time restraints within the classroom do not allow everyone to share their ideas in class.
Grades will be taken for participating online. If a computer or internet access is not available at your home, students be given computer access during RTI and in the morning before class time.
Language Arts / Writing
ALL Students are capable of writing! Many just don't realize that they have the natural ability to voice their opinions and thoughts through writing. Parents think about all the times your child has told you a story. The details they put into how they didn't eat all the cookies, it must of been the neighbors cat, who climbed in through the open window and opened the cupboard and grabbed all of mom's chocolate chip cookies. Oh and the crumbs on your child's mouth is from his lunch not mom's cookies. Or the debates your students insist on having with you about how staying the night with a friend on a school night is a good idea.
Children are always telling stories and sharing their ideas, so why not write it down. Through online and inclass discussions we will get the "IDEA and MOTIVATION" train going for various writing pieces and techniques. They will learn how to properly write an On-Demand piece and use evidence to support their thinking. Students will love voicing their thoughts on paper and online.
Reading is the most wonderful gift that we can give our students. It's a gift that keeps on giving. In my reading class we discuss literature by making connections to our surroundings. Whether its a text-to-self connection, text-to-text connection, text-to-world connection, books can show students a world and characters that they would never be able to encounter on any normal day.
To read words fluently is only one aspect of reading, comprehension of is the KEY to successful reading. Comprehension of various texts can be determined through conversations or written responses about the text. Reading and writing go hand in hand when it comes to state testing. Students are required to read informational and fictional passages and through written responses, answer indepth questions, by providing evidence from the selected reading to support their thinking.
College readiness is now a priority at all grade levels. Reading as much as you can will help you build those reading skills and allow you to gain the knowledge that will allow your student to further their education.

Look We Love: January Jones in Boho Glam Blue & Goldby Meghan Carlson | 0 comments
Last night, AMC celebrated the premiere of Mad Men season 7 in Hollywood, and each of the show's stars was looking gorgeous as ever. (Jon Hamm, we're looking at you.)
But when it comes to Boho Glam beauty, nobody knocked it out of the park like January Jones did. Check out her fun, unique, yet sophisticated look that you can totally mimic at home.
First, the hair: isn't it fantastic? January's parted her hair down the middle and gathered it into a side braid, which she's pulled apart just enough so it has plenty of volume and texture. She added a few wavy strands to frame her face, and the icing on the cake is that adorable black ribbon tying the end. Easy, charming, and fun—braids continue to reign supreme for the best way to DIY a darling 'do.
Taking a closer look at January's makeup, we love the way she's paired a cobalt blue cat eye with a line of gold shimmer shadow on her lower lash line. These hues not only play off of the colors in her bold geometric dress, but they're perfect for spring—and perfect together, especially for ladies with fair skin and blue eyes, like January. She's finished the look with dewy skin, a pinky-nude lip (smartly keeping the focus on her eyes) and a subtle hint of peach blush.
Get the look: Start with a clean face, and apply a thin layer of Blank Canvas Mattifying Face Primer, then your foundation—for a dewy, natural look, we recommend Julep DD Crème. Apply Glow Pore Minimizing Blush in Peach Bellini to the apples of your cheeks. Create a cat eye using your favorite bright blue gel eyeliner and an angled liner brush. Then, using a shader brush, apply a thin line of Glow eyeshadow from our Sweep Neutrals Eyeshadow Palette under your lower lash line. Add another layer or two of gold shadow, until you reach the opacity you want. Finish with two coats of mascara and a neutral lip—for its sheer mauve shade and hint of shimmer, Julep Lip Gloss in Charming is just right to complete this fresh-faced look.
January kept her nails clean and simple for her night on the red carpet, but her graphic dress instantly inspired us to pair bright blue and jet black in our future nail art. Those of you who chose Bailey and added on Jet to your April Maven boxes now have the perfect polish colors to create a bold graphic nail art look inspired by January's dress. You could even add a gold accent nail in Margot to mimic her metallic belt.

Life as a Mermaid: Being Transgender in West Borneo
BY Cindy Clarissa
June 14 2012 6:28 AM ET
One night in a café he shared a story with me. Once, during a training course, the organizer asked the participants to draw their hopes and dreams. He drew a mermaid sitting on a rock in the middle of the ocean and behind her, on the land, there is a family and a house. The mermaid, longing to live both on the land and the sea, represents his current state of being, split between male and female. The family is his dream of one day becoming "the perfect human like everyone else" and to be able to have his own family. The house is his desire to be able to build a care house for people with HIV/AIDS, especially those who have no one to turn to. A place where they will be cared for physically, mentally and spiritually. A place of hope and dignity.

Sweet treats for an athlete? [not sure to put this in here or the Food Forums]

Hi all,
My little sister is currently at a sports camp focusing on rowing [crew]. She loves the sport and is having a great time but she's requested a care package from home - specifically, cookies! Our grandma used to send us cookies in a shoebox so it's a strange yet delicious tradition in my family. She doesn't have much of a sweet tooth, at least not like I do, and prefers cookies with peanut butter or dried fruit as opposed to chocolate or marshmallows. We always include oats in our typical chocolate chip cookie recipe [about a cup & a half]. Curious if anyone had any other cookie suggestions? Or even desserts in general we could try at home once she gets back.
ps I did post this thread in the food forums, but I figured someone here might be able to give me some tips? haha
Posted 05 April 2013 - 03:04 PM
How about home-made energy bites. Two of these babies before a workout and I'm a machine. Likewsie, they're an excellent recovery snack as well. I added carob chips (not as sweet and healthier than regualr chocolate chips) to make it even more delicious.

Apple will launch a lower-priced iPhone in 2013, Topeka Capital analyst Brian White asserts in a research note this morning. He says a cheaper version of the phone will open up "attractive new growth opportunities in China and elsewhere around the world."
White writes that he is "now confident that a lower-priced iPhone will be launched by Apple in 2013, possibly as early as June." He suggests the phone could be called "iPhone mini" or "iPhone Air."
White adds that the new phone could have an unsubsidized price in the $250-$350 range, which is well below the $649 price for an unlocked 16 GB iPhone 5.
"A $250-$300 price range would also be competitive with China-based Xiaomi that offers a high-end phone experience at a mid-range price of ~$320 in China," he writes. "We believe a $250-to-$300 price point will allow Apple to significantly expand its reach in the smartphone market and better address developing markets such as China, while opening up more opportunities in Brazil, Russia, India and elsewhere."
The analyst said such a phone would have a lower margin than the full-priced iPhone, but above the corporate average when sold in volume.
He also contends that the arrival of a cheap iPhone could help spur a distribution deal with China Mobile, the world's single largest mobile carrier.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The Cal State Northridge women's basketball team (0-9) lost 66-59 to New Mexico State Sunday afternoon at the Pan American Center. The Matadors battled to the final second of the contest, but fell short as the Aggies converted their free throw attempts.
In a game that featured 10 lead changes and six ties, Northridge had a 59-58 lead with 1:19 left to play. However, NMSU was able to close out the game on an 8-0 run, fueled solely at the free throw line. For the game, the Aggies were 30-of-38 (78.9 percent) at the charity stripe compared to a 19-of-22 (86.4 percent) for CSUN.
The Matadors displayed a balanced scoring attack throughout the contest. Senior Analee Viena-Lota had 10 points and a team-high seven rebounds. Violet Alama scored a team-high 12 points and added four rebounds.
CSUN's bench played a huge role in the game. As a unit, the Matador bench out-scored the Aggies', 24-3. Sophomore Felicia Walker was stout in her interior defense, finishing with a career-high three blocks and two steals. She also added a season-high five rebounds in 13 minutes of action.
Also off the bench, junior Bridgette Conejo added nine points and six rebounds and senior Anna Simmons finished with five points, four rebounds and two steals, all of which represent new season bests. Amanda Thomson had four points and two rebounds and Janet Alvarado finished with three points, a rebound and a steal in six minutes.
Neither team shot the ball from the field particularly well. CSUN finished 19-of-61 (31.1 percent) compared to NMSU's 16-of-54 (29.6 percent) effort. Northridge out-rebounded the Aggies, 43-41, and pulled down a season-high 19 offensive boards in the game.
Tabytha Wampler was the key to the Aggies' success, finishing with a game-high 26 points and 14 rebounds. Despite that effort, CSUN still out-scored New Mexico State, 20-12, in the paint.
For the first time this season, Northridge did not trail at the half and entered the break tied at 28-28. Viena-Lota had six points in the opening 20 minutes of action.
Northridge returns to action on Wednesday, Dec. 8 with a home contest against Washington. Tip off from The Matadome between the Matadors and Huskies is slated for 7 p.m.

Inviting bird lovers, families and the curious outside
Every year spring and in autumn, when birds migrate from and to Africa, BirdLife Partners in Europe and Central Asia organise birdwatch events and activities in the frame of BirdLife's project Spring Alive and EurobirWatch.
Certain annual birdwatching events are getting very famous, attracting not only bird lovers but also more and more tourists. It is for isntance the case for the Sagres Bird festival taking place every year during the first weekend of October, when the birds cross the Gibraltar Detroit, passing above Algarve (South Portugal). The combination of numerous rare migratory bird species, sun, boat trips and good atmosphere makes this festival a success, appreciated not only by experts but also by lambda tourists.
Other birdwatching events, bird festivals or bird fairs are organised across Europe and Central Asia all along the year. Events don't need to be spectacular or about extraordinary birds to attract people: among the most famous activities our members organise to raise people interest in birds, garden birdwatching, that consists in recognizing, counting and reporting birds seen in people's garden is a very appreciated one.

Things I liked:Good smooth bolt action, and shoots straight and far. Once you get this rifle scoped in, it's a lot of fun. It has been durable so far and for what you pay for and what you get is worth it. Highly recommended!!
Things I would have changed:Nothing
Things I liked:The L96 is a popular sniper rifle base with a lot of available upgrades, but also shoots decently out of the box for people who don't feel like getting into the mechanical aspect of their rifles. The gun looks really nice, feels decent, and cycles smoothly.
Things I would have changed:Performance: It really doesn't fire consistently at range with high-grade BB's. My rifle settled in at around 460 FPS after the break-in, lower than it was supposed to be. The feel: The stock feels a little hollow because there's not really a lot of metal in it. The bipod adapter is absolutely terrible because it really doesn't tighten. I had to superglue mine in place so it wouldn't wiggle around during matches, and I'm one who uses the bipod a lot. The bipod is okay but UTG could certainly do with a better one. Upgradeability: The accuracy and range could be a lot better with a different hop-up unit, because there's a lot of plastic in the factory unit. The trigger mechanism is really complex and falls apart easily during disassembly; that's getting replaced as well. Those are the parts that should receive the first attention.
What others should know:I used the NCStar 3-9*40 scope for a while but I found that the accuracy made it necessary to do drastic adjustments to the scope, and that doesn't play well with the scope because magnification can't be used unless the adjustments are reversed. The design of the stock and bolt handle reveal that this rifle was really modeled after the Arctic Warfare rather than the Type 96 but that's trivia.
Things I liked:Size & feel.
Things I would have changed:Bought a refirb unit from Pyramyd. The thing spread a pattern of about 14" at 30 feet! Totally innaccurate. Not repeatable. Used $200 optical zoom scope and could not dial into get anything on target. Laser bore scope indicated something seriously wrong with this barrel. Sighting was off by 12" at 30 ft. This was a big mistake to buy refirb. I don't think anybody checked this one out B4 reselling it. Bipod mounting block is loose and flimsly. No good for laser mounting at all.
What others should know:Pyramyd quickly and politely refunded my purchase price & shipping. All reviews bragged about accuracy. I hope a NEW one works better! Appears to be a good gun.......if bought NEW.

ASK A QUESTION How do you change a verb to a noun?
How do you change a verb to a noun?
10 Answers
Sure Daniel. Just remember that the best way to think of spanish is to NOT think in english and to simply accept something in spanish, as 'sounding right'. Master this and the rest of your spanish learning career will be much less turbulent. Case in point, 'hace frio'.
'Hace frio'?? It makes cold? That sounds terrible in english and doesn't make much sense, but that's how you say it's cold out.
Anyway, in the example I provided, 'el saber' is basically making a noun out of the concept of the verb 'saber'. You know that 'saber' means 'to know' right? So it's just a noun of that. 'The knowing' if you will. Literal translation, The knowing/knowledge that 'us' can end is pain.
Yea, sounds funky in english, but remember that golden rule!
- "hacer" is a mega verb and has lots of meanings - my dictionary has 25 (not including "hacerse") But it is still a verb. - Daniel Sep 23, 2009 flag
- i love the idea of a mega-verb! :D - miloszdom Sep 23, 2009 flag
- If you think that Hacer is a "mega verb"...try Dar. I think that there are something like 50 different usages listed in the RAE - Izanoni1 Sep 23, 2009 flag
If you're asking how you go from the verb conocer to the noun conocimiento then you had better wait for an etymologist.
Spanish often uses the verb infinitive itself as a noun.
Me gusta leer. It is usually translated using the present participle in English or the prepositional phrase to.... I like reading or I like to read.
If you're asking how you go from the verb conocer to the noun conocimiento then you had better wait for an etymologist.
I am no etymologist, but I have noticed that quite a few -ar verbs also form nouns by adding -ación to the end of the root.
Take a look at this list of nouns and notice how many have corresponding -ar verbs with associated meanings.
Also, many times when speaking of what someone's occupation/profession is, I have noticed that -ador(a) is often added to the root -ar verb (I'm not sure about -er or -ir verbs).
I doubt that you could use these as hard and fast rules...it was just something that I had noticed.
I'm not certain. One way MAYBE is to create a gerund. For instance, bailar (to dance) --> bailando (dancing) ???
You change the suffix,
Verb - (To) Help - Noun - helper
Verb - (To) teach - Noun - teacher
Verb - (To) sing - Noun - Singer
Well, maybe thats not the suffix, but whatever, you get the point.

A verb is a verb, and a noun is a noun.
I am going to dance. = Voy a bailar. (dance = bailar = verb.)
I am going to the dance. = Me voy al baile. (dance = baile = noun)
Well actually in some cases you can just put the definite article 'el' in front of the infinitive form of the verb to make it a noun. Check it:
El saber=Es dolor el saber que lo nuestro se puede terminar!
El fluir=Interrumpiste el fluir!
Well actually in some cases you can just put the definite article 'el' in front of the infinitive form of the verb to make it a noun. Check it:
El saber=Es dolor el saber que lo nuestro se puede terminar!
Charlius can you help me out here. What is a "El saber"?
There is no simple rule (nor is there in English) . Qfreed, Izanoni and Charlius have provided partial answers which cover many cases There are exceptions (cases which simply to not correspond in any simple way to English syntax). *Such is life.
Well I stand on a **"verb is verb" and a "noun is a noun". The question is:
How do you change a verb to a noun?
You cannot just stick a difinite article "el" before a verb and it becomes a noun -- even if they are the same word.
I showed a example where the same word could be used a a verb or a noun "dance" -- but the verb was still a verb and I can't change it to a noun. I used "dance" as a noun, and is is going to stay a noun.
I am almost 100% sure you can't change a verb to a noun.
Maybe I don't understand the question or I am just to thick-headed.
Or maybe the question should be "Can the same word be used as a verb and also be used as a noun?"

Steve Williams: It's time to demand an expectation of excellence for city
The race for the office of mayor is an election about competing visions and expectations.
A quote that is appropriate to our city is, "The greater danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and falling short ... but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark."
We have for much too long set our aim far too low. It is time that we begin to demand an exceptional Huntington. An exceptional city is one where excellence is the expectation, not just an aspiration. Excellence must appear by design and not by happenstance.
I have led efforts the past three-and-a-half years on City Council insisting that city operations be efficiently run and effectively delivered. We have insisted that the administration live within its means and said "no" to repeatedly proposed tax increases.
An exceptional city manages its finances to assure world class delivery of services. Last year we found ourselves mired in a $2.5 million deficit because of mistakes the administration made in calculating our pension obligation. Finishing a budget year in the red is inexcusable. The administration proposed two permanent tax increases to fix their mistake. I led the efforts on City Council to reject them.
Last year the administration presented a proposal to award a contract for new seats in the Civic Arena for $3.5 million. As chair of the Council Finance Committee, I insisted the bid be rejected and rebid. The new bid saved $1.5 million.
Last spring when presenting its budget, the administration said the only way to balance the budget was to raise taxes or cut services -- and proposed a 67% tax increase! We said no to higher taxes. I led Council's effort to demonstrate how we could increase services without raising taxes. As a result, City Council's budget fully funded the police department, added 11 new fire fighters, and assured in excess of $1 million was again placed in paving -- and did not raise taxes!
An exceptional city implements policies that encourages world class innovation, investment, and development, that utilizes proper planning techniques to assure that neighborhoods are protected and investment is encouraged that enhances neighborhood and community life. The most recent example of rezoning policy is an example where executive leadership has been missing. There is an absence of leadership when a problem is acknowledged but not acted upon. Excuses inhibit excellence. Visionary leadership doggedly works through obstacles. The zoning problems should have been corrected when they became apparent two-and-a-half years ago.
Are new jobs being created or has there simply been a shuffling of chairs on the deck? Exceptional cities create investment and development opportunities that are not available elsewhere. The creation of a next generation Wi-Fi program, creation of TIF Districts, and technology zones would take advantage of the research capability at Marshall University and attract technology companies that are seeking the quality of life and amenities available in a university-centered community such as Huntington.
To become an exceptional city, we must have a sense of urgency about how we approach our policy and how we measure our progress. Yes, crime is down, but do students at Marshall really feel safe walking down 4th Avenue or 6th Avenue in the evening? Yes, buildings are being demolished and neighborhoods roads are being repaired, but wouldn't it be nice that a sense of urgency doesn't only occur during an election year? An exceptional city is able to boast of progress every year, not once every four years.
Huntington should be on the cutting edge of innovation. Cities across the country should look to us as a laboratory of innovation.
If you share my belief that there are some things in this life and on this earth that only we are able to perform and provide at a quality and quantity unlike anyone else, we must begin acting and creating policies to match our belief. We need to discern what distinguishes us from all others and determine what policies will highlight our opportunities.
Developing Huntington into an exceptional city requires visionary leadership, the ability and courage to make tough decisions, and the determination to develop consensus on how the city should move forward. Join me in advancing an exceptional Huntington!
Steve Williams is the Democratic candidate for mayor of Huntington.

A representative rig used by anglers practicing the traditional live-bait fishing method observed during the tarpon catch-and-release mortality study in Boca Grande Pass from 2002 to 2004. Main lines were typically Dacron, or other braided line, tied to a swivel. Leaders were long (11 feet on average) and made of heavy 100- to 130-pound test monofilament or wire, as depicted here. Leaders were attached to forged "J" hooks (example shown is a nonforged 7/0 "J" hook). Lead sinkers were attached directly to the swivel using copper wire rigged in a way that would break away when angling a tarpon.

One year. One million actions. One world we want for girls.
12 December 2012
The United Nations declared 11 October 2012 as the world's first International Day of the Girl.
To celebrate this day, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts invited people around the world to help create "The world we want for girls".
People from over 50 countries drew, wrote, filmed, photographed and then shared their vision of the world we want for girls on WAGGGS' blog site.
Events in over 30 countries marked the day, from roundtables on human rights in Rwanda to girls' empowerment marches in Zimbabwe, to the launch of a new advocates programme for girls in Australia, to young women in Madagascar talking about ending violence on a global Google hangout with UN Women.
Through our global survey, we now understand that over 50 per cent of girls find that where they live it is sometimes, often or usually difficult to be a girl and nearly 45 per cent of people think it is more difficult for girls to reach their full potential than it is for boys.
It was a good start. But 11 October 2012 is only the beginning. We want to inspire action from governments, institutions, corporations, NGOs and individuals for the 365 days between each Day of the Girl.
Because it will take more than one day to create the world we want for girls.
That's why on 11 December 2012, two months on form the inaugural IDG, the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts is publishing the results of its IDG survey and launching this 2012 International Day of the Girl (IDG) call to action.
A vision of the perfect world
The World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts, through its IDG blog, survey and global events, is helping to paint a picture of the world we want for girls.
Inspired by the world we want for girls blog, renowned artist Cristina Guitian has taken the images, words and ideas of girls and people around the world and shaped them into a vision of the world we want for girls.
You can use the illustrations to help inspire action and promote your actions. Download them now.
You can also use our "Call to Action" paper to start you off – it provides the results and analysis of the World Association's IDG activities and survey, including some insights into what issues girls' are most concerned about and the solutions they want to prioritise.
The World Association calls on the 10 million Girl Guides and Girl Scouts in 145 countries, our friends, partners, governments, businesses and people everywhere, to help us create the world we want for girls.
Listen to what girls are saying is wrong now. Understand what they see as the barriers to them reaching their full potential. Then act with them and for them.
By 11 October 2013, we want one million actions to have been taken to help create the world we want for girls.
Add your actions to our activity log or send them to firstname.lastname@example.com
We want this call to action to inspire a community to work together to create the world we want for girls. Where we all work to our strengths and overcome our challenges. Where we identify what girls want and what works to get it for them.
One year. One million actions. One world we want for girls.
Let's start today. Because imagining a perfect world for girls is not enough. We must now make it a reality.

What an amazing and inspiring document the Call To Action is! Thank you WAGGGS for providing us with "The World We Want For Girls" site to let us have our say and gather these important views from girls worldwide. I can't wait to get out and active for this cause both with my Fairy Guides (5-8s) and with the Girl Guides from across Victoria and Australia. Together with our sisters around the world we can take action and we can change the world!

Rockets should be able to corral BroncosWritten by Scott Calhoun | | firstname.lastname@example.com
UT will travel to Kalamazoo, Mich., Sept. 9 to open its Mid-American Conference and MAC West Division slate against the Western Michigan Broncos.
The Rockets are fresh off an impressive game at Iowa State Aug. 31. The Cyclones barely escaped in triple OT, 45-43.
That promising start should be a catalyst for another successful season, Rockets Head Coach Tom Amstutz said.
"I thought we came out as a team and showed some good things. I thought our test of our character was good. We battled through the whole game and all of that is a really good sign," Amstutz said.
The Rockets have to temporarily readjust their sights on inter-conference play against WMU.
"I look at Western Michigan as the most improved team in the MAC last year," Amstutz said. "They started off early in the year with a couple of losses and then had a huge winning streak. I don't look at this game lightly."
While Toledo is still adapting to a reloading process at important offensive positions, the Broncos are experiencing a similar recharge.
One significant difference when these two clash: the absence of last year's Co-MAC MVPs in Toledo's departed quarterback Bruce Gradkowski and graduated Western wide receiver Greg Jennings.
Toledo redshirt sophomore quarterback Clint Cochran is establishing himself as a worthy replacement to Gradkowski with a remarkable 367-yard, three-TD performance against Iowa State. Cochran connected on 39 of 49 pass attempts and added a rushing TD in his second career start. The 39 completions in a game were good for second place all time behind only Gradkowski.
His rapid emergence in the loaded Rocket offense doesn't bode well for a Western Michigan defense that finished 96th in points allowed in 2005 and even worse in yards allowed.
As for replacing Jennings, Broncos redshirt freshman Jamarko Simmons offered new chug to the WMU receiver set with seven grabs for 100 yards in its 39-20 loss at Indiana.
WMU would like to think they have a strong quarterback counterpart in senior Ryan Cubit.
Unfortunately for the Broncos, Cubit, who missed most of last season with an injury, again crumbled to the turf in mid-game during the third quarter against the Hoosiers with an unidentified injury to his throwing hand or wrist. His availability against UT remains uncertain.
UT junior Jalen Parmele, sophomore Richard Davis and redshirt freshman DeJuane Collins will look to get things going in a big way after Parmele garnered just 66 yards on 18 carries and Davis 8 yards on three cradles at Iowa State. Both also scored a touchdown versus the Cyclones, but the complete absence of Collins in last week's game begged the question of whether he will get in the huddle versus Western.
"We plan on using the three running backs, and Collins will be ready to play," Amstutz said. "This week is really special because this is a West Division MAC team, one we have to play and beat if we want to be in contention for a championship. This is a very important game for us. Anytime you face a team on the road you face a team at their best, so we have to go into their stadium and play on their level."
That focus is what has the Rockets ignoring its home debut against another Big 12 giant in Kansas to instead concentrate on Saturday's clash in Southwest Michigan.
"We can beat Kansas, but if we lose this game then we are not working toward our goal," Amstutz said.

Football: WVU Coach Bill Stewart Quotes
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University coach Bill Stewart quotes from National Signing Day.
Opening Statement
We signed 17 young men today, nine on offense and eight on defense.
Looking at the offensive signees, there are four offensive linemen. They are tall, big guys that can run and have good athleticism. They came out of good programs, and we like these four young linemen.
We have one tight end, and he (Cody Clay) is a local youngster from Charleston.
There are two running backs and two wide receivers, who are big guys that can stretch the field. The running backs are both tremendous athletes, with tremendous statistics, who played in great programs.
Defensively, it excites me even more. There are three defensive linemen. It is really hard these days to find good defensive linemen, but we feel like we landed three top-notch individuals.
Linebackers, we have three - two outside guys that can really run and one middle back that is really tenacious and can play tackle-to-tackle.
The defensive back (Terrell Chestnut) is a tremendous athlete who plays corner. He started out as a high school quarterback, then they wanted to get him the ball even more and put him in the running game. He has been all over the place.
We also got a really nice free safety (Nick Kwiatkoski) from Bethel Park, Pa.
All of our recruits are top-notch students.
On campus now, we have two quarterbacks. One is Brian Athey, who is a big guy, as is Paul Millard (the other quarterback on campus). They are big, tall guys who can throw the ball and get it all over the place. We are really excited about these two guys.
We have two DBs in Avery Williams and Vance Roberts. They are here now so coach David Lockwood can immediately begin training with them.
Josh Francis is a linebacker that really can run. He has a lot of speed and length and can really make some great plays. We also have a running back in Vernard Roberts, and we are excited to have him.
In the linemen, the first one is a big, tall young man, Russell Haughton-James. He is really a long-armed guy with tremendous feet. Brandon Jackson is a really strong youngster that is going to be a guard. Justin Johnson, as you all know, is a local youngster. He and Cody Clay are the two West Virginia guys that we have. Johnson has good feet. He also has a brother here in Josh Jenkins. He is very much like his brother, but I tease Josh and tell him that Justin has better feet, better athleticism and that he is tougher. Josh doesn't like that very much, but he will learn to live with it. Then, we have Marquis Lucas, a big, long-armed youngster out of Miami Central, and we like what he brings.
Our tight end is Cody Clay. He has good ball skills and has the potential to grow and get bigger and stronger. He could be a lineman one day, we just don't know.
We are very excited to have Dustin Garrison out of Pearland, Texas. He just gets the ball and goes. He has tremendous stats, great hands and great mobility. Then certainly, we are excited about our other running back out of Jacksonville, Fla. - Andrew Buie. He also has tremendous stats and is a great player with a lot of potential.
On defense, the three linemen are big, strong looking guys. Ben Bradley out of Norcross, Ga., is a tremendous inside player that we think can be a nose and fit very well in this skill set. He has great size and great explosion and has a chance to be very good.
Kyle Rose is very athletic. He is a tremendous wrestler. He did well at the 215 pound range and at heavyweight. He has done everything, but he devoted a lot to football this year because he really wanted to be a collegiate football player.
Shaq Rowell has been at Iowa Western. He is a special guy and we loved being in his home. He had a brother that played out in Iowa and played well. He brings a lot to the table.
Jared Barber should be a real asset to our 3-3 stack. Isaiah Bruce is a 300-meter hurdle state champion in Florida. It tells you how good he is to look at his size and see how fast he is. Shaq Petteway is from Steubenville, Ohio, and we are excited for him. He brings a lot with his speed and the way he can cover.
Terrell Chestnut has so many accolades, much like Andrew Buie. He can play.
Nick Kwiatkoski was at camp, and I really like what he brings to the table.
On meeting the needs of the team with the new recruits
You never bat 1.000 and you never hit a home run every time you swing, but I am really excited about this class. It is a very solid class, and we are very happy. These guys will be great additions to this program.
On recruiting with only one year left as head coach
That never entered my thought process. I think it speaks volumes about the staff and where we are as a program. When six guys (mid-year signees) come on board in January that speaks volumes, and then to see these 17 young men want to become Mountaineers also is good.
When we have our student-athletes host (the recruits), that is who sells them (on WVU). The players who host are the ones that talk to these recruits and help get them here.
On recruiting athletes instead of positions
We do that every year. Those youngsters have always been a great fit for this 3-3-5 stack. It is important to find that lengthy guy that can play on the edge.
On biggest needs
We needed players. You win with class, and you win with people.
On having the quarterbacks early
It is live arms because we throw a lot of balls. A lot of high school kids come in and do our 45-minute lift and almost faint. It is a different scale.
To have those two quarterbacks here early speaks volumes about what they have on their goals and their thoughts on the future. It just gives them a chance to see and talk with Geno (Smith) and Dana (Holgerson) and to learn our offense. Then, they go out and have live arms.
On the network in the Southwest
I think once you see Dustin (Garrison) catch the ball out there, you will know. TCU brings a lot to the league and opens up some recruiting.
On Geno Smith
They (Brian Athey and Paul Millard) are going to get a lot of reps this spring because Geno is not ready to go out and practice right now, but things are going pretty smooth with him right now. We will see near the end of spring how much he can participate

The first time I visited Bilbao was for the wedding of my friend Margaret. One of the highlights of my trip was my visit to the Gugenheim museum. I did not have a blog then so I thought that this trip I would take the time out to blog about this beautiful architectural structure designed by Frank Gehry. The building for me really cemented my love for museums as it really pushes the envelope on how structure and art communicate with space.
The museum first opened it's doors in 1997 and proclaimed Bilbao as a major destination for design aficionado. There are several spectacular permanent exhibitions in the museum such as the massive steel structure called "The matter of time" by Richard Serra. Once you see my photos you will realize how fabulous this sculpture is. I mean it felt like it was a mile long and 3 stories high! I mean it was MASSIVE. I also liked the Jennie Holzer installation which is a discussion and reflection on AIDS. There is also the iconic Jeff Koons "PUPPY" which is now so associated with Bilbao that it has somehow become it's unofficial mascot.
However apart from the beautiful collection inside the museum it is really the building itself that for me is the real showcase. Made from very thin sheets of Titanium ( usually used for airplanes). The building looks like a shimmering gem as light and wind reflect all throughout it's various angles. When there, do take the time out to view the building from all it's angles. It's a good walk and really mesmerising!
There are always several exhibitions going on at any given time of the year. Nix and I lucked out as they were having a retrospective on Schiele who is one of my favourite artist's of all time. Too bad photos were not allowed but his work is quite disturbing and a bit menacing. I love the angularity of his work and the sexual tension that he evokes. It was one of those breathtaking days filled with so much things to digest and take it. I am deeply thankful that I was able to see this space again. Please enjoy the photos!

Rep. Sue Myrick, a nine-term North Carolina Republican, won't seek a 10th term this year, she said in a posting on her Facebook page on Tuesday.
"After thoughtful discussion with my family, I have decided not to run for another term in Congress," Myrick said.
Myrick is the seventh Republican to say she will retire from politics this year and the 33rd member overall to announce the end of her career in Congress. First elected in the Republican sweep of 1994, she serves as chairwoman of the Select Committee on Intelligence's Terrorism, HUMINT, Analysis and Counterintelligence subcommittee.
After redistricting, Myrick's new district would remain a safe Republican seat. She never faced serious Democratic opposition during her time in Congress.

One of the biggest studies of its kind has concluded that bed-sharing puts infants up to eight weeks old at a "small, but significantly" higher risk of smothering or overheating.Wow. And I thought I was being a horrible mom by not having Belle sleep with me. We tried it, but I couldn't sleep for fear of her accidentally getting covered up or rolling into a pillow (which would have been an incredible feat at 1 week). Actually, she didn't take to it either -- she preferred the snug feeling of her car seat. I wonder what the response from the Attachment Parenting community will be? Post your comments here.

"It's pretty clear that when levels of vitamin D are too low, there's a greater tendency for cells that cause autoimmune problems to come out in those genetically susceptible people," Cantorna tells WebMD.

You're hard-pressed to get enough vitamin D solely from food or from sunlight in the winter."Yet another reason to make sure both Belle and I get plenty of vitamin D.

Normally, about 85 percent of your hair is growing, and the other 15 percent is resting. After a resting period, hair falls out and is replaced by new growth. During pregnancy (thanks to hormonal changes), the proportion of growing hairs to resting hairs increases even more, resulting in a luxuriant head of hair. But after giving birth, the ratio is reversed and more hair falls out.The article goes on to say that by your baby's first birthday, your hair should be back to normal. Meanwhile, their only suggestion is to "go for a short cut." Um, I don't think so. It took me four years to grow out this hair! I will not get a mom haircut... I will not get a mom haircut... I will not get a mom haircut... Post your comments here. Full story »
Many of these exposures exceed safe levels by wide margins. OPs on apples, peaches, grapes, pear baby food and pears cause 85,000 children each day to exceed the federal safety standard by a factor of ten or more.This table clearly shows that just because the pesticide levels in food are legal doesn't mean they are necessarily safe. Exposure is a concern because OPs have the potential to cause long-term damage to an infant's developing brain and nervous system. I didn't know this until recently, but organophosphates are what the German army used as neurotoxins during WWII. Ok, I'm feeling better about shelling out the cash. Post your comments here.

How to turn dead or burned ebooks, info products, and podcasts into cash cows.
I don?t have room to cover all 37 secrets here. So I wanted to give you a sample of just 5 of things in store for you?
? Secret One: Focus on these two big Razor Factors and TRIPLE your growth
Most people I talk back and forth with in the comments on my blog struggle with FOCUS.
And focus boils down to not knowing what to focus on. We all know HOW to focus. The problem is we try to focus on too many things at once or in quick succession.
This is where Ockham?s Razor kicks in. See, based on scientific research conducted on 524 companies, there are only TWO factors that you need to focus on to triple your results. And this applies whether you?re a small guy or gal or a big corporation.
I?m going to reveal WHAT this research says then show you step-by-step how to apply these two growth factors to your business, even if you?re super small or starting almost from scratch like I did years ago.
Man, when I first got started in online marketing back on AOL, I wasn?t scraping the bottom of the barrell, I was UNDER the barrell. So if that?s how you feel, I?ve been there too.
On the other hand, if you?re rocking and rolling and just want that little extra perspective that simplifies and supercharges, this is it. See, this isn?t just my opinion. It?s based on hard core research.
Bottom line: I don?t care how much your feelin? the sting of this economy. Do these 2 things and you WILL see the impact. This could be your ticket to growth. Or perhaps your lifesaver.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -
In a series that featured a pitchers duel in each game, the Cal State Northridge Matadors (2-1) were able to come away with the series finale 2-0 over the Bethune-Cookman Wildcats on Sunday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Ballpark. Although they scored just five runs over the weekend, the Matadors boasted a team ERA of 0.96 to help CSUN to its first road series win in the Eastern Time Zone in school history.
"Any time you travel across the country to play an opening series, there are a few challenges that are inherent," said CSUN head coach Greg Moore. "These guys did a good job of steadying themselves and staying with their plan. The way the defense attacked the ball was impressive. There was crisp execution on the defensive side, especially over the last two days."
The Matadors had a chance to put across the first run of the game in the top of the third when Daniel Timmerman walked and reached second with two outs. A ground ball by Ryan Raslowsky was then redirected off the pitcher's glove, but Timmerman was thrown out at home trying to score on the play.
The Wildcats put Northridge starting pitcher Jordan Johnson in a serious jam in the bottom half of the third, loading the bases with one out thanks to a pair of walks and a bunt single. Johnson rebounded, however, and induced a routine double play ball to second base to escape the trouble unscathed.
Brett Balkan produced the first hit for the Matadors in the top of the sixth inning when he drove an 0-1 pitch to center field for a single. After Raslowsky reached on a fielder's choice and stole second with two outs, Alexis Mercado hit an RBI single through the left side to put CSUN ahead 1-0.
In the top of the 7th, Balkan came through once more. After Timmerman singled and stole second, Balkan drove him in with a single down the left field line to give CSUN a 2-0 advantage.
Bethune-Cookman nearly tied the score in the bottom of the seventh inning after loading the bases with two outs. CSUN relief pitcher Anthony Cortez was able to get a ground ball to Raslowsky at second to strand all three runners on base.
The Wildcats took a chance in the bottom of the eighth to put a run on the scoreboard, but a fine defensive play by the Matadors prevented it. With a runner on first, Austin Garcia doubled to left center. Ranny Lowe sent a strong throw back in that was relayed by Balkan to catch Josh Johnson at the plate.
Johnson (1-0) threw 5.1 innings and allowed just three hits while recording five strikeouts to pick up the win. Scott Garner (0-1) was charged with both runs and took the loss for Bethune-Cookman. Michael Coates pitched a scoreless ninth inning for CSUN to earn his first save of the year.
The Matadors will finish their season-opening road trip with a contest at UCLA on Tuesday, Feb. 18, at Jackie Robinson Stadium at 6 p.m. CSUN will then play its home opener on Friday, Feb. 21, against Seattle University at 2 p.m. at Matador Field.
"My hope is that the players will do their homework on the plane, get up tomorrow and go to class, then have a great practice in the afternoon," added Moore. "Right now we need to get back, bandage ourselves up and get ready to go for Tuesday."
