This is going to be a crucial season for Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin, the reigning Hart Trophy winner who once again held the hottest stick in the league last year and once again suffered through major playoff disappointment. Will 2013-14 be the one where he and the Caps finally live up to their former hype?
On paper, it would seem that the St. Louis Blues have all the necessary pieces to take home the Stanley Cup come June 2014. Fans and prognosticators both see plenty to like in the current incarnation of the team, with the latter becoming evidenced by publication The Hockey News' preseason prediction of St. Louis besting Pittsburgh in the Stanley Cup Finals. But is everything they have heading into 2013-14 going to be enough?
If you're like us at TheGP, you're nearing a very significant moment in your hockey fandom. The players you grew up watching are now on the precipice of ultimate retirement. While we've seen football, basketball and baseball players come and go, there's something about the longevity of an NHLer that makes the departure of somebody like Teemu Selanne or Jaromir Jagr far more resonant than some of their peers in other sports. Get ready for a weird year.
Mike Gillis, the general manager of the Vancouver Canucks, must have eschewed the Public Relations courses during his academic career as well. As a result, hysteria revolving his handling of Roberto Luongo (which can only be described as a debacle at this point) has reached unprecedented levels.
He may not have been a household name, but Mike Knuble has been one of the top complementary players in the NHL for quite some time. Retirement is a likely possibility for him this year and while his eventual departure from the league won't garner the same press others like Teemu Selanne and Daniel Alfredsson will, he was still able to forge a fantastic career as one of the NHL's quietest warriors.

Holly Springs explodes early, blasts homestanding Jordan
When the visiting team scores touchdowns on its first two plays from scrimmage, the home fans are usually in for a long night.
Such was the case Friday night at Jordan High School's Claude Curry Stadium as visiting Holly Springs beat the Falcons 43-12.
A blocked punt set up Trey Staten's 3-yard touchdown run on the Golden Hawks' first play from scrimmage. The next time Holly Springs ran a play, Kelvin Wilson scampered 86 yards for another touchdown.
And so it went for Jordan (1-4). Previously winless Holly Springs built a 37-0 halftime lead and rolled to the easy win.
"They continued to play hard and that's what we're trying to do here," Jordan coach LaDwuan Harrison said. "But you can't continue to spot teams 40 points in the first half or whatever we gave up in the first half and expect to beat solid teams. That's where we are right now. We are a little young and inexperienced right now and it shows."
Both Wilson and Staten surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark in the first half. They finished with a combined 307 rushing yards and four touchdowns for Holly Springs.
Staten rushed for 159 yards on 12 carries, leading the Golden Hawks in both categories. Wilson carried just three times, but gained 148 yards.
Harrison didn't like how his team contributed to its own demise, starting with the blocked punt that occurred on the Falcons' initial possession.
"Small details that we overlooked," Harrison said. "That's what we're trying to continue to improve on. The small details. We're trying to get them to sense the important of taking care of those little things."
Staten entered the game having rushed for 424 yards this season, accounting for nearly half of Holly Springs' offense over its first three games. He upped his touchdown total to six on the season, with scoring runs of three and six yards in the first half.
Though the game was one-sided at halftime, the Falcons managed a couple of highlights with second-half touchdowns. One came on a 60-yard pass from Jordan Simmons to Arthur Reece.
But Jordan saw its discipline erode even on that play. The Falcons were called for unsportsmanlike conduct after the play, one of 12 penalties they were whistled for in the game.
"We just haven't been focused at times," Harrison said. "We warned them ahead of time what was happening and what was coming. When you still do it that's just a lack of discipline. That starts with me. I have to evaluate myself and see how I can crack down on the discipline here. We have got to do a better job of not hurting ourselves."

Expedia hits 52-week high after Q2 profit tops estimates
Shares of online travel company Expedia (EXPE) are rising after the company's second quarter adjusted profit topped analysts' consensus estimates and it reported strong gross bookings. WHAT'S NEW: After the close on Thursday, Expedia reported Q2 adjusted earnings per share of 89c, topping analysts' consensus estimates of 84c, on revenue of $1.66B, in line with the consensus projection. The company reported adjusted EPS, excluding eLong (LONG), of $1.02. WHAT'S NOTABLE: Expedia reported Q2 room night growth, excluding eLong, grew to 35% year-over-year, with domestic and international room nights growing 24% and 50%, respectively. It reported gross bookings and revenue, excluding eLong, increased 20% and 15%, respectively. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, gross bookings increased 28%. In Q2, Expedia added nearly 27,000 properties to its global supply portfolio, which now stands at approximately 257,000. ANALYST REACTION: RBC Capital said this morning that Expedia's results were "surprisingly strong," given intra-quarter comments by the company. The firm raised its price target on the name to $140 from $130 and kept an Outperform rating on the shares. PRICE ACTION: In early afternoon trading, Expedia rose $11, or about 10%, to $118.65 on more than twice its average daily trading volume. Earlier in the session, the stock made a fresh 52-week high of $119. Including today's advance, the shares have gained approximately 50% over the past year. OTHERS TO WATCH: Other online travel companies include Priceline Group (PCLN), which is up 2.3%, Travelzoo (TZOO), which is up 0.6%, Ctrip.com (CTRP), which is up 1.8% and Orbitz Worldwide (OWW) and Tripadvisor (TRIP), whose shares are flat.
On The Fly: Top stock stories at midday
The Wall Street averages began the session slightly lower, soon turned mixed and have all returned to positive ground near midday. The Nasdaq has been the strongest of the indexes throughout. The S&P 500 is trying to hold onto its gain of about 1.5% for the month as July comes to a close. ECONOMIC EVENTS: In the U.S., the employment cost index for the second quarter increased 0.2%, versus expectations for an increase of 0.6%. The Chicago PMI business barometer index bounced to 54.7 in July, topping the expected reading of 50.8. The final reading of the University of Michigan consumer confidence index for July came in at 93.1, which was down from the 93.3 flash reading and below the 94 that was expected. In Europe, Athex stated that the Athens Stock Exchange will reopen on August 3. COMPANY NEWS: Shares of Exxon Mobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX) declined 2.9% and 3.6%, respectively, after both energy majors reported lower than expected earnings due to falling oil prices. Exxon noted that its Downstream and Chemical segment earnings increased significantly from the second quarter of last year, but that those higher earnings were more than offset by the impact of weaker Upstream realizations and lower asset management gains. Chevron, meanwhile, recorded impairments of $1.96B and other charges of approximately $670M relating to project suspensions and adverse tax effects, all of which stemmed from a downward revision in the company's longer-term crude oil price outlook. MAJOR MOVERS: Among the notable gainers was Coca-Cola Enterprises (CCE), which rose 13% after the Wall Street Journal reported that the company is in advanced merger talks with Coca-Cola bottlers for Germany and the region of Spain, Portugal and Andorra. Also higher following their earnings reports were MoneyGram (MGI), which gained 27%, Expedia (EXPE), which added 10%, and SkyWest (SKYW), which rallied 20%. Among the noteworthy losers was FireEye (FEYE), which fell 5% after reporting quarterly results and announcing that CFO Michael Sheridan intends to leave the company. Also lower following their earnings reports were Ocwen Financial (OCN), which fell 28.5%, and Hanesbrands (HBI), which dropped 10%. INDEXES: Near midday, the Dow was up 10.36, or 0.06%, to 17,756.34, the Nasdaq was up 18.60, or 0.36%, to 5,147.38, and the S&P 500 was up 3.98, or 0.19%, to 2,112.61.

That was quick! The iOS 6 Gold Master was released to developers shortly after Apple's conference yesterday, and MuscleNerd of the iPhone Dev-Team has already updated the jailbreak for the 'exploitable for life' LimeRa1n-compatible devices with the new OS. Once again, supported devices include the 4th generation iPod Touch, the iPhone 3GS, and the iPhone 4. It's likely that, as with the betas, the payload for the Gold Master release only needed slight tweaking.
As with the betas, this jailbreak of a pre-release operating system does not have Cydia or PreferenceLoader installed. The jailbreak is intended for homebrew software developers who can install their code through SSH or AFC2.
Interestingly, the iPhone Dev Team's blog contains an explanation for the lack of Cydia: "There are some remaining issues with Cydia and fundamental modules like PreferenceLoader, so it remains an openssh-style developer-only release only for now!" This is despite the fact that developers have been able to configure Cydia to run on the beta firmware, much to the chagrin of Cydia's founder Jay Freeman.
I would hazard a guess that LimeRa1n-compatible devices will get access to the tethered jailbreak shortly after the public iOS 6 release on September 19th, complete with Cydia.
If you are interested in downloading RedSn0w 0.9.13dev4 you will be able to find a link achieved in the iJailbreak Downloads Section. Alternatively, you can use one of the download links below:
Download RedSn0w 0.9.13dev4 (OSX)
Download RedSn0w 0.9.13dev4 (Windows – Run in Administrator Mode)
Do you have access to the iOS 6 Gold Master preview for developers, or are you content to wait a week for the full public release? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Preserving Illinois Heritage as part of the U.S. Newspaper Program and the National Digital Newspaper Program
The UIUC Library is committed to preserving the cultural heritage of Illinois. Newspapers contain a wealth of historical information for researchers, archivists, librarians, and the general public. Our goal is to preserve this valuable resource through careful stewardship, including proper storage, handling, and repair of the originals. By donating Illinois newspapers to the Illinois Newspaper Project at the UIUC Library, you add to the pool of newspapers that can be microfilmed for preservation and possibly also digitized in the future.
The Illinois Newspaper Project places priority on longer runs of Illinois newspapers published prior to 1970, especially those that have not been previously preserved on microfilm. We also look for any newsprint that would fill gaps in existing microfilm. However, please contact us if you have any questions about making a donation.
The following individuals and organizations have donated newspapers to the INP. We are very appreciative of their donations. Contact us for more info.

Betty and Amanda team up to plan the office Christmas party. Sofia has an unusual plan for Daniel. Wilhelmina decides it's time to take care of Marc. Betty's feelings for Henry grow.
Betty is at her desk when Henry comes by and asks her if she's making her Christmas list. He spots mistletoe on her desk. She says it's just Holly, but he kisses her anyway and tells her she's the girl he's been looking for. Betty wakes up in a shock from this dream and glares at the photo of Walter by her bed before throwing the sheets over her face.
Sofia wakes up beside Daniel. Worried that she will miss her flight, she says that they need a breather so they can see if what they have is real. He insists that he loves her; she says it's just hormones and sex. If this is real, he should see other women while she's gone. If he doesn't get sweaty palms with them, maybe he does love her. He says that this is crazy. She tells him that this will convince her that he really feels this only for her.
Betty tells Hilda her dream and Hilda tells her that dreams don't mean anything; she should just avoid Henry and everything will be fine. Ignacio comes down and Betty gives him his pills. He has a caseworker coming to work with him next month. Hilda gets in a fight with their neighbor Gina after she runs over her Christmas tree while it's sitting in the street.
Marc is bringing Wilhelmina her breakfast and asking if Nico is coming home. He lithely snatches her whole wheat bagel causing her to almost bite his head off before he reminds her that they're 'sharing things' now that he knows her little secret.
At an office meeting in the conference room, Daniel announces that Betty has been offered a job and she will be accepting resumes for her position. There is applause. Amanda and Marc wonder if they need to invite her to her own leaving party. Betty is surprised he's announced this, but he says that her going to work with Sofia is what's best for her. Amanda is already confident that she's the best one to take the job. Daniel takes Betty into his office to tell him that Sofia wants him to have an affair while she's away. He's through with being a bachelor and places half a dozen rings across his desk to try and pick out which will be perfect.
Betty goes to her desk and opens a gift waiting for her. It's a notebook. She assumes this is from Daniel and gives him the thumbs up but he doesn't know what she's doing. She walks down the hall to Amanda who tells her flatly that she is the right person to replace her; she'll prove it: She'll help Betty plan the Christmas party. Betty reluctantly accepts the offer. A bundle of fake snow arrives and Betty walks it into Henry, spilling it all over both of them. He tries to pull some out of her hair but feel bashful. He makes a series of unintentional double entendres while Betty tries to hide her excitement when he tells her that he will be 'on top of her' for the next few days overseeing the party budget.
Half a dozen lingerie models arrive to pose the new collection for Daniel. They include the first supermodel he was ever with. Betty leaves to try and sort through resumes before she rushes in again to stop Daniel from easy temptation and announces that the photographer is ready for the models.
Betty and Walter are at the Christmas party for the store where he works. They have their photo taken with Walter's boss and his wife. The wife of Walter's boss tells her that she used to work in Manhattan too, but they're Queens' girls and this is where they belong. Betty stares at Walter and his boss with a less than enthusiastic feeling. Betty asks the woman when she knew that her husband was the one. She just knew; when did Betty know Walter was? She's not sure yet.
Wilhelmina gets a call from her mysterious friend who's concerned about having Marc silenced. Wilhelmina states that he will be permanently silenced very soon. She adjusts the Christmas tree ornaments and walks out revealing Marc hiding behind the tree. He's terrified and takes a breath of his inhaler.
It's late in the office and Amanda is still there, rummaging through Daniel's desk and trying on the rings he bought for Sofia. Her feelings for Daniel aren't exactly as simple as she wishes they were. One ring gets stuck on her finger.
Bradford is being visited by Mr. Greene. He's managed to find proof that Fey Somers is really dead.
In the morning, a worried Marc brings Wilhelmina her whole wheat. She asks him for his home address; she's sending a special delivery his way. He panics and takes another hit off his inhaler.
Amanda updates Betty on all the elaborate party preparations that she's done. Betty says she appreciates the help, but it doesn't erase her history with Daniel; she's not right for the job. Betty goes to her desk when Henry appears with ornaments. She tries to ignore him, but he tells her that he never saw snow until he moved to New York and she's so charmed that she can't stop staring at him. They begin to chat and she starts to fantasize about him before freezing up and telling him she has to get back to work.
Betty is pushing ornaments into Amanda's arms when she sees one of Daniel's rings on her fingers. Betty chases her around the office before they try to get it off together. Betty spits on an appalled Amanda's finger and starts to pull while she tells her that she doesn't feel anything for Daniel anymore. Betty falls over pulling and Amanda walks off.
Marc arrives at the party. At first, he's stuck in an elevator with a man who seems to be a hitman. He rushes past him and asks Amanda if she has a gun. Amanda says that no one would sell anyone at the party guns. Marc rushes off to hide from the wrath of Wilhelmina and Amanda goes to stand by Betty to pester her about the job. Betty thinks that Daniel needs someone who can look after him. Amanda says that she'll run interference between Daniel and the models just to prove that she can fill Betty's shoes. After glancing at Betty's clogs, she takes a swig and stomps off. Betty is left alone while Henry stands across the room flirting with her.
Christina is drunk on Santa's lap and Marc runs by while Betty moves around the room and under desks while trying to hide from Henry. She bangs her head and her painful yelp brings her to Henry's attention. He helps her up with a string of condoms in her hand; he was only there for a screwdriver. Christina walks by them dragging Santa into the bathroom as an appalled Marc runs out. Wilhelmina and the 'hitman' spot him and call him into her office. They take Marc to the parking garage and, just when he thinks they're going to kill him, they flip on a light to reveal a hummer. He's relieved to see that they're just trying to buy his silence.
Daniel goes into his office followed by a supermodel who starts making out with him. Amanda promptly interrupts and reminds him that he's supposed to be engaged. Daniel says that he's in love with someone else. The model offers a threeway, but that's not what he meant.
After, Betty tells Daniel that the only person she's seen that she could leave to look after him is Amanda. If he's serious about her going, this is goodbye. He gives her a silver business card holder and tells her that he's proud of her; she's destined for bigger things. She hugs him and tries not to cry. Before she leaves, she asks him if the other gifts she's been receiving were from him. They weren't. Daniel calls Sofia to tell her that he loves her and his heart doesn't race for anyone else. Betty walks out to her desk and looks at Henry. They exchange waves before someone walks by and kisses him but he pushes her away. Betty is crushed at the sight and rushes away to the elevator while he runs after her. The ring falls off Amanda's finger.
Hilda is going through Justin's gift list when they look out the window and see Gina obscenely defaming their Christmas lawn ornaments. By evening, she returns with a decapitated glowing reindeer and the lights go out. Hilda walks out to find Gina collapsed on the porch. They've been competing since they were teenagers and Gina always loses. Hilda invites her in for eggnog and brandy.
Amanda is trying to clear up after the party. Daniel tells her that Betty thinks she should be his new assistant, but can she do it? They promise to be professionals. Meanwhile, Ted the Texan walks in on Wilhelmina as she's about to leave and her heart starts to race.
Betty gets home and wonders if she's doing what's best with her life. She shows Hilda the photo of her with Walter. Hilda says that she should appreciate Walter more. Within moments, Walter arrives with her last present. Henry calls but Hilda tells him that Betty is busy and throws away the message that he leaves with her. Walter tells Betty that he's trying to understand her life in Manhattan, but she feels cold and it becomes clear to her that she doesn't love him.

Striker Chamakh was shown a yellow card when he appeared to dive in the penalty area in the 28th minute - a turn of events which prompted Moxey's intervention and their contretemps continued in the dressing room at the interval.
Palace manager Holloway said: "I don't think I can repeat what I said at half-time, but I nearly took my jacket off to both of them.
"You have to deal with things. I've since called them in and showed them the incident and asked what it was about. It was amicable in the end but passions flare up when you are not winning.
"The passion was there and I think it shook everybody. It rocked this club, we are built on that togetherness.
"But I've watched the incident and spoken to Chamakh and his explanation is actually quite good.
"He headed it and was just looking at the ball, and he said if he'd been at Arsenal he would have got a penalty. But I still think he should have shot."

THE PRESIDENT'S BUDGET PROPOSAL: DOMESTIC SPENDING; Education Gets Large Increase, Especially for New U.S. Law
By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO and LYNETTE CLEMETSON
Published: February 3, 2004
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2— President Bush's budget for 2005 proposes its biggest increase for domestic spending not related to national security at the Education Department, which is charged with carrying out one of Mr. Bush's showcase issues, the No Child Left Behind law.
The budget leaves spending flat or decreased for other programs like child care, other education activities, housing, promoting clean air, clean water and land preservation.
Many longstanding programs like low-income housing assistance maintain current levels or are cut. The plan increases other signature items like so-called religious and community-based social services. The new requests, combined with a stated intent to make permanent many recent tax cuts, drew wide criticism from liberal groups and other advocacy organizations.
''It amounts to class warfare in reverse,'' Robert Greenstein, executive director of the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, said. ''It proposes to continue every tax cut for the most affluent people, even adding very large new tax cuts, while starting to cut significantly into basic programs like child care and housing assistance.''
On the other side, some conservative groups said the budget did not go far enough. Alison Fraser, director of economic policy for the Heritage Foundation, said her group believed that spending on ''entitlement programs'' like Medicare continued to exceed acceptable levels. ''These are first steps,'' Ms. Fraser said.''
For the fourth year in a row, Mr. Bush proposed adding $1 billion to the money for the poorest schools, which are at the center of the new education law's goal to close achievement gaps between black and Hispanic and white students. The increase brings to $13.3 billion the sum for the neediest schools, 52 percent more than in 2001.
Education Secretary Rod Paige said the 36 percent increase in his department's budget since 2001, the largest of any agency, reflected Mr. Bush's emphasis on his program.
''The No Child Left Behind law,'' Dr. Paige said, ''is more than sufficiently funded.''
Education advocates said the budget achieved those gains largely by shortchanging other programs. The president of the American Federation of Teachers, Sandra Feldman, said that the increases in education spending had steadily shrunk, from 18 percent in 2002 to 3 percent.
The new budget recommends cuts to 38 programs, including those focused on dropout prevention, gifted and talented children, guidance counselors in elementary schools and increased parental involvement in poor communities. In addition to the extra Title I money for poor schools, the budget would provide $1.1 billion for Reading First, a program that seeks to have all children reading by the third grade, and $132 million for a similar preschoolers' program.
The $57.3 billion budget would also increase by $1 billion the money for disabled students and add $823 million for Pell grants to low-income college students. The plan disappointed representatives for college students by leaving the maximum Pell grant unchanged at $4,050
Among the domestic items drawing criticism from liberals are Child Care and Development Block Grants, which give money to states to help low- and moderate-income working families with child care. Mandatory spending for the program for 2005 will remain at $2.7 billion. Although the budget calls for a slight increase in discretionary spending, to $2.1 billion from $2.09 billion, that amount dips consistently in the next four years, to $2.06 billion. A result, the administration acknowledges, is a gradual decline in child care and development services, lowering the number of children in such programs to 2.2 million in 2009 from 2.5 million.
The government plans major changes in Section 8 Housing Vouchers, rent subsidies for low-income families. According to the Housing and Urban Development Office, financing will dip slightly, to $14.3 billion from $14.5 billion. The main revision is changing how vouchers are issued, from a system based on housing units to one based on rents. Under the old system, the government guaranteed a set number of rental units and mandated that a poor family could not be forced to spend more than 30 percent of its income on rent.
Projects related to Faith-Based and Community Initiatives receive major attention. In addition to a $200 million request for drug treatments operated by religious and community groups, the budget includes $100 million for the Compassion Capital Fund, which helps religious and neighborhood groups receive federal money.
''The president continues to show his belief in America's armies of compassion,'' Jim Towey, director of the White House Office on Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, said. ''He is continuing what he said he would do when he was inaugurated.''
Chart: ''Tightened Belts in Domestic Spending'' President Bush is proposing to hold discretionary spending outside of the military and domestic security to an 0.5 percent increase for the 2005 fiscal year. Here is the president's proposed spending authority for some major domestic departments: DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Agriculture DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: $20.7 2005: $19.1 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: -8.1% DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 8.4 2005: 7.8 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: -7.2 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Transportation DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 13.9 2005: 13.3 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: -3.9 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Justice DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 19.3 2005: 18.7 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: -3.1 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Health and Human Services DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 69.3 2005: 68.2 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: -1.6 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Energy DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 23.3 2005: 23.6 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: +1.2% DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Labor DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 11.7 2005: 11.9 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: +1.3 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Interior DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 10.6 2005: 10.8 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: +1.9 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Housing and Urban Development DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 30.4 2005: 31.3 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: +2.8 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: Education DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 55.7 2005: 57.3 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: +3.0 DEPARTMENT OR AGENCY: NASA DISCRETIONARY SPENDING AUTHORITY, IN BILLIONS 2004: 15.4 2005: 16.2 PERCENTAGE CHANGE: +5.6 (Source by Office of Management and Budget)

Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall.

Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see.

Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

interesting Love the detail on the shirt, soft material, rich colors.

There are lists upon lists of online scholarships that are available. You could spend an hour looking through them and not even dent the surface due to their sheer number. Finding ones you are qualified for is a different story and that is what makes the whole process tiresome.
While there are some general scholarships you can find online the majority of them are specific. What that means is that the people handing them out are looking for specific people to get them. The qualifications vary greatly from one to the next. Lets present some typical scholarships available on the Internet and hopefully, after looking through them, you can make a decision on which ones you think you would qualify for.
There are many scholarships available for people who are active into politics. Both the Democrats and Republicans have their own scholarships for college students who are part of their party and actively involved. They figure if they help you out early in life you will be a lifetime member of theirs.
Some of them require you to just be a registered party member while others want to make sure that you are not only a member but involved in the system (ie. voting and helping campaign). There are party scholarships on a national, state and citywide level available to students. The aid can be from just $100 to $10,000.
Many religions, including churches, offer their members scholarships. They are always having raffles and fund raisers going on for this purpose. if you are religious or are part of a church then should do yourself a favor by looking into it.
Many wealthy individuals like setting up grants and scholarships for people who are actively involved in their communities. They want to help people who they feel have shown a willingness to help others. Therefore, many scholarships of this nature (and these can be fairly lucrative) require its applicants to have completed some sort of non- compulsorily community service. It could be helping the poor, cleaning the highways, building homes for low income people or any other activity that is considered to help out his community or fellow man.
There are scholarships for people pursuing different degrees of expertise. For instance its common to see free money set aside for people going to school to be lawyers, doctors, teachers, scientists or other professions. There is the most money for people pursuing professions deemed by society to "help the public." For instance you will find that there will be few scholarships for people wanting to be stock broker or real estate broker. Those professions are not seen as helping humankind. On the other hand a person who wanted to be a school guidance counselor or nurse would find any of them to choose from.
Nationwide and Local Businesses
It always look really good for public relations when a company offers struggling students financial assistance. Nothing says "we care about our community" like giving out free scholarships. It is one of the best tools for building good will from the public. Why do you think corporations like Wal-Mart, McDonalds and Coca-Cola are always giving them out and telling everyone about it.
Think about some of the big companies in your area and inquire if they offer scholarships. You will find that many of them do. Many small ones do the same thing and many times they are for a large amount. Car dealerships and local pizza restaurants are famous for this.
Using a little ingenuity and creativeness will greatly increase the likelihood of you finding good scholarships. The most diligent and consistent individuals usually come away with the most money. Do not procrastinate and then wonder why you cannot find any good ones. Locate the right ones for you do not wait to submit your application.

Shepherds' Nights Festival in Beit Sahour, West Bank, Palestine 12/23/10: video
Beit Sahour is a mostly Christian village directly east of Bethlehem in the West Bank. The town played a key role in the First and Second Intifadas, with local activists pioneering nonviolent resistance techniques. On December 23rd through 25th, 2010, Beit Sahour hosted its third annual Shepherds' Nights Festival to mark the Christmas holiday. The Festival is a family-friendly event with musical performers, dancers, local artisan and food vendors, a Santa Claus with gifts for children, and a candlelight procession through Beit Sahour on the final day to "Light a candle for the establishment of a Palestinian State." The three-day event is organized jointly by the Palestinian Center for Rapprochement between People (PCR) and the Joint Advocacy Initiative (JAI), a program of the East Jerusalem and Shepherds' Field YMCA/YWCAs.

Silent Night was recorded from the Festival sound system during sound checks before the December 23rd show. The marching band from the the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land Catholic church, across the street from the Festival location in the Greek Melikite Catholic School playground, was practicing their routine for the December 25th Candlelight Procession, as well to welcome church leaders to Beit Sahour that night.

Osborne Computer Corporation was founded by Adam Osborne, Lee Felsenstein, and Jack Melchor in 1981. Armed with Osborne's ideas inspired by Alan Kay's Notetaker at Xerox PARC, the engineering prowess of Felsenstein, the software contributions of Frank, and financial backing from Melchor, OCC introduced the first commercially-successful portable personal computer in January 1981, with little or no competition until the following year. The size of a small suitcase, the self-contained Osborne-1 was the first computer to be sold with bundled software packages, and cost about ,200 less than a fully-loaded Apple II. The company rapidly grew from zero to a 0-million enterprise -- yet less than three years after its incorporation and its rocket ship climb to fame and fortune, OCC declared bankruptcy in September 1983. In the years that have followed, Osborne's meteoric rise and abrupt collapse have become an archetype of Silicon Valley start-ups. Please join Lee Felsenstein, Jack Melchor, and Richard Frank, together with guest host and moderator John Markoff, as we explore the fascinating stories behind the start-up days in the back room through the rise and fall of Osborne Computer.
The Computer History Museum offers a variety of membership levels. To find out more, please visit our individual membership or call 650-810-2722.

21st Century Learning | News
The flipped classroom (see Flipped Learning Founders Set the Record Straight) is getting national attention from esteemed sources including National Public Radio. Online commenters on that program discussed the merits of having students watch videos and use other materials to learn lesson objectives at home and then spend class time with the teacher doing hands-on project work. This reversal of the traditional learning sequence led to the term "flipped classroom," and has also had led to a slew of questions among teachers who are flipping or have flipped their classrooms.
Enter the Flipped Learning Network™ Ning. Described as "a professional learning community for teachers using screencasting in education," the site brings together related cloud resources and offers forums, groups, video lessons, and professional training for teachers. The community includes more than 10,000 members, including educators, who talk about successfully (and unsuccessfully) flipping. They share best practices, solve problems, and offer their most successful lessons—all free of charge.
For those who don't know how to create a video, there is How to Create an Interactive YouTube Vdeo. Want an example of how to be "creative" with a video? Sort the videos by "most popular" and enjoy the cheesy, yet effective (according to the comments section) Variables Song, which, "written to the tune 'I'll Be There' … will help students to know the difference between the variables." In another video, a teacher describes how she handles disruptive students in the flipped classroom. There are also instructional videos, such as Just How Small is an Atom?, a re-posted Ted-Ed animation.
Another resource is Flippedclassroom.org, which has an active list of 72 groups arranged by subject areas (mathematics, ARTS), grade levels (elementary, middle school), specialty teaching areas (librarians/media specialists, special ed flippers), and flipping resources (The Writing Behind the Video, Writing Virtual Textbooks for Flipped Classes), to name just a few.
Users can also start new groups. The First Time Flippers is the largest group (with 522 members), but the number of professionals using the site has doubled in six months, with more added every time the flipping creators, Jon Bergman and Aaron Sams, host another conference.

Sounds like your classic "Comedy of Errors" with misunderstandings all the way around.
Chinese officials deny banning Apple products for government procurement
Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report claimed that the Chinese government excluded a number of Apple products, including the iPad, the iPad mini and a number of MacBooks from a government procurement list due to security concerns. Today, however, a new report out of Reuters, citing China's Central Government Procurement Centre as well as the finance ministry, revealed that the company never applied to be on that particular procurement list, which pertained to energy-saving products. According to a statement from the finance ministry:
Even though Apple has the certification for energy-saving products... it has never provided the necessary verification material and agreements according to the regulations.
The Central Government Procurement Centre clarified that Apple products can be purchased by the government even if they're not on the energy-saving list, as it is one of the many procurement lists in circulation. Further confusion was caused when several Apple products were delisted from the procurement website earlier this week. Chinese officials have since confirmed that the sales were halted for a monthly price adjustment.
Unnamed sources revealed to Reuters that the price adjustments were routine, and that "every month we have one price adjustment to make sure the prices are aligned with market prices."
What do you guys think of the Chinese government's statement?

Chinese officials deny banning Apple products for government procurement
No these damn news sites are so Apple focus that any news story however incorrect will get print. News media wise in tech news it's all about rumors. But they write it like it is a fact. Like they checked all their sources and this 'rumor' is true. Bunch of asses. I thought the whole story about the band sounded suspect. I guess we will see.

The 27-year-old first baseman became the first player ever to win both awards in the same month twice in one season. He also did it in April, joining Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig as the only players ever to be named the top player after their first month in the majors.
Abreu was also named Rookie of the Month in June and is the fourth player to win the award at least three times.
He batted .374 in July with a .432 on-base percentage, six homers, 11 doubles and 19 RBI in 25 games.

by Pamela Bloom
Theres a hidden gem on Eglington West. Its easy to miss from outside, but inside it is impossible to forget. Its a place where the chefs are passionate about preparing true Italian food, where the Sommelier is earnest in his belief that all food tastes better with the appropriate wine, and where even a rainy Wednesday night sees it full of loyal customers. This place is called Il Mulino Ristorante.
Il Mulino opened one and a half years ago under the expertise of Michael Pagliaro, previous owner of Cabbagetowns Barolo, formerly one of Torontos best restaurants. For those of you that thought he retired after selling Barolo, you can rejoice in the knowledge that hes back and better than ever.
Il Mulino also employs a certified Sommelier, Zoltan Szabo, whose love of wine is surpassed only by his devotion to making your dining experience at Il Mulino a truly unique and extraordinary experience.
Its not just the food and service that makes Il Mulino so special, its their desire to ensure that everyone who dines there will learn about the background of each dish and accompanying wine, and why certain foods and drinks compliment each other so beautifully.
Il Mulino even offers food and wine matching nights, "a unique dining experience that takes you on a tour from Sicilia to Piemonte." For just $75, you can embark on " a culinary extravaganza--a gastronomic tour of Italy," as they serve you 4-5 dishes from various Italian regions, accompanied by the appropriate wine for each dish. This is also a wonderful opportunity to learn about the process and background of each dish, and why they taste better with certain wines.
They also host corporate culinary cooking and wine tasting events, where you and your co-workers can unwind by cooking a meal under the tutelage of chefs Alan Hilario and Davide Del Brocco, and then sit back and relax to eat and drink. I hope someone tells my boss about this!
For those of us who love wine and want to learn more about it, Il Mulino also offers tutored wine tasting events, where they will take you through the steps of tasting and choosing wine. They also plan on expanding into catering.
I recently went to Il Mulinos for dinner with my cousin, Elisa. We started with an Antipasto platter of Insalata Di Funghi (grilled wild mushrooms), Mozzarella & Pomodori (fresh Bufala mozzarella with vine ripened tomatoes), Calamari Grillia (grilled calamari), Grilled Shrimps, and Octopus Carpaccio.
I was a little wary of eating Octopus, but Im glad that I overcame my fear and tried it. It was thinly sliced, delicate and tender. The shrimps were juicy and plump, and the Bufala cheese was very fresh and creamy.
We had a lovely Santa Barbara Chardonnay with our antipasto. It was a nutty, with just a hint of olive, and the kind of Chardonnay whose flavour improves as it sits. We also had a Ruggeri Prosecco di Valdobbiadene. It was interesting to taste the antipastos with different wines, as each drink brought out different flavors.
Elisa and I then had the Mushroom Risotto and Gnocchi. The risotto was made with truffle oil, and served with fresh, shaved Parmesan cheese. The gnocchi was served in a thick cream sauce with Pesto and Gorgonzola. Both appetizers were very filling, with dramatically different flavours. The Victoria Street California Merlot that we had with these dishes had a lovely tang that balanced out the heaviness of these appetizers.
We then moved on to the main course, Sicilian White Snapper. It was lightly grilled, and served "au natural," with just a touch of extra virgin olive oil, wine, and parsley. The fish was very tender and savoury, and it was served with steamed vegetables and delicately spiced potatoes.
Elisa and I were both under the impression that fish should always served with white wine, but Zoltan impressed upon us that was not necessarily true. We had some Nero dAvola with our meal, and I can honestly say that fish tastes even better with red wine.
For dessert, Elisa and I shared the Chocolate Volcano, a torte like brownie filled with a hot fudge center, and topped with vanilla ice cream and caramel,
made by pastry chef Alfredo Pali. It was guilty pleasure, made even guiltier by the sweet dessert wine that we had with it. It was a California Orange Muscat Essensia, and the orange flavor went perfectly with the chocolate.
Il Mulino is a remarkable treasure. It will not only please your palate, but it is bound to please your soul as well.
