In a primetime TV landscape dominated by reality shows and reheated cliche, every so often a television series of superior accomplishment and rare originality comes along and challenges our conception of the quality of entertainment we can expect from network television. Shows like Arrested Development, Firefly, and Freaks & Geeks, to name a few. And when these special miracles do come down from the TV heavens and find their way into the hearts of viewers hungry for programming that's actually worthy of their precious time, the ratings-focused studio Lords who giveth always seem to taketh away.
NBC's critically-acclaimed but woefully under-watched hour-long drama series Friday Night Lights is the next great series facing cancellation far before its time. If industry rumors are to be believed, tomorrow night's final episode of FNL's strike-shortened season could very well be its last, ever.
As fans of the show, and the kind of exciting television it represents, BestWeekEver.tv is willing to use our site as a platform to lend support to those who share our interest in keeping this vital series alive. Our Dillon Panthers Booster Club will be providing the Friday Night Lights fan community with regular updates on the status of the show's fate, creating our own original content to help raise awareness about the great television so many people have been missing, and providing a place where the fans of the Dillon Panthers will have their message to NBC heard more loudly and clearly: "Keep The Lights ON!"

Please help! I have a ottb that I've been training for almost 3 months. He had the normal issue with favoring the left lead. After lots of training he was picking up the correct lead almost everytime. Now all of a sudden he will not pick up the right lead at all. Even in a small round pen he still does not pick it up. The only things that have changed in training as of recent is adding small cross rails at the trot and more collection. I have not used any training aids, martingales, side reins, etc. I gave him some bute to see if there might be any soreness issues but that didn't help either. He looks sound.
To signal the right lead I use right leg at the girth, left leg slightly behind, pole bent slightly to the right. He is a little stiff to the right but he has been since day one. I don't think it's a stubburn issue b/c he is usually willing to do whatever you ask. I would love any suggestions.

Obama Shifts View Of Executive Power
Professor Michael McConnell spoke with The Wall Street Journal's Laura Meckler about the President's use of executive power and the importance of checks and balances.
After being buffeted by Republican victories in the 2010 midterm elections, White House aides saw education as ripe for bipartisan cooperation. Both parties wanted to address complaints about the No Child Left Behind law. Congress seemed prepared to act.
But while the White House talked up cooperation in public, in private it was preparing Plan B. In December that year, Education Secretary Arne Duncan warned top Democrats that if Congress didn't act, the administration would use executive authority to essentially rewrite the law on its own.
"The president is unchecked in a way the other branches are not," said Michael McConnell, a conservative legal theorist at Stanford Law School. "Any unchecked power can be misused, and yes, our checks and balances lead to gridlock, but I think gridlock's better than unchecked power in the hands of one person."

Jamal Shteiwi Player Journal
Throughout the 2004 season, Jamal Shteiwi, a senior on the University of Kentucky men's soccer team, will record a player journal. The entries will appear below.
September: 8 | 23 | 30
October: 5 | 20
November: 4
November 4
Heading into the MAC tournament this weekend, hosted by Western Michigan, the team is working hard on trying to improve in certain areas. Since we were the outright winners of the MAC regular season, we were awarded the # 1 seed in the tournament giving us a first round bye. Thus, we are automatically in the semi-finals playing the winner of the Marshall-Western Michigan game.
As it was Halloween last weekend, the team had a costume-mandatory practice last Thursday. The variety and creativeness of the costumes was entertaining and disturbing! Some of the better costumes I can discuss are Jonathan Brunet as Darth Vader, Nathan Li as William Hung, Jibran Shteiwi as Krusty the Clown, Adam Walker as Buzz Lightyear and of course, myself as Harry Potter! GO CATS!
October 20
With only three games remaining in the season, it is really starting to become crunch time. Each one of these games has huge influence on a possible NCAA tournament birth. Yet, we are trying to take it one game at a time. This Friday night, we travel to the University of Akron to face the Zips in a another conference showdown. If we are to win this game, not only will it be a huge regional win, but the victory will guarantee us at least a share of the MAC regular season championship. The regular season champion is also guaranteed a bye in the first round of the conference tournament, which is huge.
I have decided to give some recognition to our defense and goalie, since they, especially Brandon Stewart (haha), are always complaining about the attacking players getting all the attention and publicity. The latest statistics have the UK defense and goalkeeper ranked 28th in the nation in goals against average, with a 0.83 GAA.
October 5
It was extremely difficult to bounce back after such a tough loss on Friday, but we had to travel to Buffalo to play our third conference game of the year. Traveling to Buffalo on Saturday was a bit frustrating, since our flight was delayed for three hours, but the team was able to keep in good spirits playing cards, reading or watching movies. The team was a bit angry going into the Buffalo game, still a bit upset after the way we lost to Michigan on Friday night. We showed our determination during the game by defeating Buffalo 3-0 on a cold day and on an average field.
Our next game is this Wednesday night against rivals #3 Indiana University at the soccer complex at 7:30; hope to see you all out there!!!
Regarding the caffeine consumption of our coaching staff, Coach Chaney wanted me to point out that while Coach Wilkerson has given up the Dr. Peppers, he has substituted them with about 4-5 cups of coffee a day!
September 30
Our next game was on Sunday afternoon against the Buckeyes of Ohio State. This game was huge for us because Ohio State is in our region, and when it comes down to NCAA tourney time, you have to win your in region games. The first half was a tough, hard-fought half, and we took 1-0 lead into half time. Once again, this was a game of two opposite halves. In the second half, Ohio State had the better of the game, equalizing in the middle of the half to tie the game up at 1-1. Thankfully, we were able to get the game winner in the 89th minute by my little brother, Jibran, and hold onto the 2-1 victory.
Even though we had a good weekend with two victories, the team and coaches realize that in order for us to keep on winning we need change our mentality and play well for a complete game. Therefore, in practice this week we have been working on the necessary things in preparation for our game on Friday. This Friday night at 7:30 we host the #13 Michigan Wolverines, and it is a huge in region game. Hope to see you all out there supporting us!!!
September 23
Even though the team remained unbeaten this past weekend, it was still a disappointment with a 1-1 draw against Georgia Southern and a 2-1 victory over Winthrop. The results weren�t necessarily disappointing, it was the way the team performed. We were looking to build off of our last weekend, but it seemed like we took a step back. Our coaching staff was well aware of this and made changes to correct our performances. We�ve had a tough week of practice, so the coaches could see who really wanted to win and who could fight back after a disappointing weekend. I feel that the team has bounced back and is ready to go this weekend against two tough opponents. On Friday night at 7:30 we host Marshall and Sunday afternoon we host Ohio State at 2:30. I hope to see all of you out there supporting us!
Regarding the �Dr. Pepper� consumption, I am disappointed to inform you that the contest has already ended, and Coach Chaney has won by default. Coach Wilkerson has decided to lay off the caffeine, and a very reputable source inside the office admitted to seeing Coach Chaney �down ten peppers in a couple hours.� I will leave the source anonymous for his safety.
September 8
We opened up the season in SMU�s Mi Cocina Classic, playing SMU on Friday night. Needless to say, our opening game didn�t go quite as planned. We weren�t quite ready for No. 7 SMU, losing 3-1, with Thomas Senecal scoring the lone goal. The team played better on Sunday, in our game against No. 17 Tulsa, despite the scorching heat. The game was tied 1-1 going into the second half, when we had a player sent off due to a red card. We ended up losing the game 2-1 on a fluke rebound, and we even had a goal called back.
Now on to better news, we traveled to in-state rival Louisville on Tuesday. This game is always a huge game, but this year it was even bigger due to our performance on the weekend. We needed a win badly, not only for our record, but also for the team�s confidence. We did win, 2-0, against Louisville at Cardinal Park, with a Cardinal crowd of over 2,000. Freshman Mike D�Agostino netted the game winner at the beginning of the second half, and that was all our defense, led by goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum (I had to write that because he was sitting right beside me), needed to get the �W�. The win extended Kentucky�s undefeated streak at Cardinal park to 5-0-1. With our first win the team seems to be gelling and coming together. We have our home opener this Friday night against UNC-Asheville. So, I hope to see a lot of people out there.
On a lighter note, there has been a request to add a new, weekly statistic monitoring the amount of Dr. Pepper�s consumed by our assistant coaches, Coach Jeff Chaney and Coach Matt Wilkerson. Currently, Coach Wilkerson has totaled 44 �Peppers� to Coach Chaney�s 40 �Peppers�.
August 30
For the third straight year we went to the IPFW (Indiana Purdue-Fort Wayne) preseason tournament. These games are less about winning and losing, and more about working some things out and gelling as a team. Our first game was against Michigan State, which we lost 2-0. Despite the score, there were some good things to take from the game and build upon. Our next game was against No. 2 St. Johns, which we lost 2-1. I feel that the score line didn�t reflect the way the game was played. We outshot St. John�s and had many close chances, with some shots careening off the post (I thought I would throw a big word in there to make myself sound smarter). The team played much better in that game than in the previous one. The team�s intensity, organization, and work rate were immensely improved from the Michigan State game. This was illustrated when we dominated large portions of the contest. These games gave us a chance to work the kinks out and also to introduce our freshman/newcomers to the speed of play of top Division I soccer.
Now we are in a ten day hiatus between our preseason games and our season opener against No. 4 SMU in Dallas. The time has enabled our team to have ample time to work on the things that we struggled with during the preseason games. Also, this time gives the coaching staff a better chance to evaluate players and see what combination of players works best. All in all, this is the most optimistic I (as well as others) have been in preseason because our team has a lot of potential and the ability to go and compete for a national championship!

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
In this course, photographer Derrick Story teaches the concepts and techniques behind efficient photo management and backup, which becomes increasingly important as a photo collection grows. The course begins by showing how to transfer and organize photos "by hand"—that is, by copying them from a memory card to a hard drive without using software. In the second portion of the course, discover how to take advantage of the photo-management features provided by programs such as Lightroom and Aperture, by assigning descriptive keywords, by giving photos ratings and color-coded labels, and how smart album features can automatically collect photos that meet certain criteria.
The course concludes with a look at aspects of a good backup and archival strategy, ranging from the best file format for long-term backup to the best hardware options for offline storage.
I'm going to spend a few minutes going outside of Lightroom to edit an image. Now, before we do that, I want to tell you that when you can, for your image editing, you want to stay in Lightroom, because Lightroom has a fantastic set of tools. They are right here in the Develop module, and just about anything you need to do is right here. And the big news is that when you work on an image in Lightroom, it's a nondestructive flow. Lightroom is only adding little bits of metadata to your image.
So if you start out with a 24 MB image, you end up, after doing all sorts of wonderful image editing things to it, with a 24.2 MB image or something like that. Hardly anything. But there may be those times when you need to go outside of Lightroom to do something special. Most of the time you'll be going to Photoshop for that, and that's what we call round tripping. Now before we round trip, I want to make sure that the file that Lightroom prepares for you is a good file.
Then we'll go to Photoshop, we'll work a bit, and then we'll come back into Lightroom. To ensure that we have a good experience when we round trip, I'm going to Edit, and then I'm going to go down here to Preferences, and we're just going to take a look at the Preferences for External Editing. Here are the settings that I recommend. If you need something different, and you know you need something different, then go ahead and make those changes. If you don't know, go with these: go with a PSD file; that's going to be the handoff file. That's the file that is going to go to Photoshop and come back.
AdobeRGB for your Color Space, and go with 8 bits instead of 16 bits. 8 bits gives you plenty of information. If you know you need 16 bits, then make that change. Otherwise, stick with 8 bits, and click OK. All right! Let's take this shot, and let's take a little trip to Photoshop. I'm going to right-click on the image. I'm going to go up here to Edit In> Edit in Adobe Photoshop, and Lightroom is going to prepare the file for me, and then open it in Photoshop.
So the first thing I'll do; let's just do a few little image editing things. So we'll crop; do a little cropping. There we go. And let's do a little levels control. I'm going to hit Control+L, and we'll just brighten it up a little bit. Just click OK. Now these are all things that you can do in Lightroom, but we're just doing a little demonstration here. Let's convert to black and white. So we'll go to Adjustments, and go to Black & White. We'll brighten up those reds just a bit, just so we kind of lighten up the skin tones.
Alrighty! And the last thing that we'll do; is go to Sharpen. Let's do a little Smart Sharpen, and that should get us out of dodge. I'll just take a look at that eye: 14 and 8. That looks great! Beautiful! I'm going to hit Control+Plus. Alright. So now we have done our Photoshop work. To send this file back to Lightroom, all I have to do is go up to File, go down to Save. It will save that image. It's preparing it; sending it back to Lightroom.
Since it's in Lightroom now, I can go ahead and close here, and I will minimize Photoshop, and you'll see that in Lightroom we have our image right here. Let's open up, because I want to show you something that Lightroom does: create a little stack, look at that, and it put it on top. So here's our original image, and here's our Photoshop image right here. It's a stack, so I can collapse them just like that. Now here is the thing: this file here is about twice the size of this file.
I could have done the same image edits right here in Lightroom and saved myself approximately 22, 23 megabytes. So keep in mind that round tripping is a great technique. Lightroom and Photoshop work fantastic together, and there are certain things that you will need to do in Photoshop. You can do probably about 98% here in Lightroom. Work in Lightroom when you can; round trip when you have to. Otherwise, you'll end up taking up more space on your hard drive than you actually need. But it's a great technique, and that's how it works.

The Bigger the Family, the Dumber the Comments From Strangers
Filed under: Opinions
And then when you actually have the baby, it's like little so-and-so sends off an asshole beacon, inviting comments about everything from how your baby should be sleeping, eating and, hell, even pooping, from people you were perfectly fine never ever knowing. (And, most often, people who are in no place to be giving advice about raising children.)
But once you decide to procreate beyond two kids, it's like you moved to Doucheville -- where anyone who can count seems to think you need to know that.
"Wow, four kids! You have your hands full!"
Now, if I were some of you with only one or two kids, I'd be offended. Apparently you're underachievers. Wimps! Pussies! Your mediocre breeding efforts are not deserved of the Captain Obvious commentary, even though, technically speaking, your hands are indeed full.
No, you just get the "Oh, so when's the next one arriving?" questions. Lucky you.
I realize it doesn't sound offensive, this innocent, albeit completely inaccurate, observation. But I've yet to actually figure out why people take the time to say it when I'm convinced they're really trying to say something else.
For example:
- Ugly man with zipper down holding a bottle of Jack and some Preparation H: "Why can't I find a woman who puts out like you?"
- Twenty-something hipster with a basket full of lentils, gluten-free pasta, and her dog: "OMG I have four dogs and I can totally relate!!!!!"
- Grandmotherly type in a motorized cart: "When are my ungrateful children going to have some beautiful grandchildren like yours?"
- Frazzled mom chasing her one toddler around the store: "Are you fucking out of your mind?"
And of course, they all know you're with your children, so you can't respond with anything more than a gritted tooth grin and a "You betcha!" when really you'd like to tell them what they're full of.
"Sorry dude, I'm not a whore. Anymore."
On our first trip as a family of six a few weeks ago, a man made the effort to come up to us as I was chasing my kids and my husband was chasing our luggage in the baggage claim area.
"I just had to tell you that you guys are comical!" he said.
"Thank you!" I grinned, not even waiting to digest what he was actually saying. My husband was pissed, never having the pleasure of going anywhere with all the kids at once, which tends to earn me at least one comment like that from a complete stranger, though I admit, the whole "comical" thing was new to me.
"What's that supposed to mean!" he said, craning his neck to see where the guy was going.
"I have no idea," I replied, "But if we're comical, then he really needs to get out more."
What stinks is that constantly being on the defensive means you're ready to pounce on the next person who dares to speak to you. I nearly bit the head off of a lovely woman who only meant to congratulate me. "How lucky you are!" she said, sharing with me her infertility challenges in the Whole Foods line, her only child buckled sweetly in a shopping cart cover that was fitted carefully in her cart. "It took me over four years just to have her!"
"You can take this one off my hands!" I replied, pointing to my screeching toddler tossing organic overpriced cheese snacks at his sister.
Then I thanked her.
It's true. My hands are definitely full. And you know what? So is my heart.

My best friend was adopted from South Korea and I've heard a lot of those comments, too. It drives me nuts and makes me want to shake the idiot who opened their mouth. Though if I ever do decide to have kids, watching her and her family has inspired to adopt.

I imagine the subtext to most comments is:
"you had em, now please take care of them."
"comical" was probably meant to put you at ease instead of "loud and and nowhere near as cute to the rest of the world as they are to you."

Yes I do have my hands full but when I tell them we want more that's when the really moronic comments come flowing out of the dummies mouths. As if we need permission from them to have more kids.

25 October 2011
WLUML is deeply concerned that the first public act of the Libya's National Transition Committee has been to proclaim on October 23rd, 2011, that a number of laws would be considered annulled and that 'sharia law' was to replace them. Libya's National Transition Committee is an interim government – what it has responsibility for – and its first action should have been to put into place a mechanism for elections for the new government after the fall of the Gaddafi regime.
The Violence is Not our Culture (VNC) Campaign welcomes long awaited and recent reforms announced by King Abdullah Bin-Abd-al-Aziz Al Saud, that promise to gives Saudi Arabian women the rights to vote and run for office in municipal council elections, and to become full voting members of the next Shura council. The promise to increase women's participation in civic life is a tribute to women's efforts on the ground who have been campaigning inside the country, despite strict and rigid opposition.
Maryam Majd, an Iranian photojournalist, who disappeared on her way from Tehran, Iran, to Dusseldorf in Germany is being held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison. She is in ward 2A, controlled by the Revolutionary Guards, according to a reliable source. It is now over ten days since she last spoke to her family. During that phone call, she was crying and asked her mother 'Please do something to release me from here'. Her family and friends are particularly concerned that she has access to her medication, which she takes daily. No formal charges have been brought against Ms. Majd so far.
Saudi authorities on Monday freed a woman jailed nine days ago for her role in promoting the right to drive for Saudi women. Manal Al Sharif, a 32-year-old computer security specialist employed by the oil giant ARAMCO, was detained May 22 after she defied the kingdom's ban on female drivers and posted a video of her action on YouTube, as part of a national campaign.
The international solidarity network, Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) calls for the immediate release of Manal Al-Sharif. Saudi authorities have arrested an activist who launched a campaign to challenge a ban on women driving in the conservative kingdom. The media spokesman of the Directorate General of Prisons in Saudi Arabia, Colonel Dr Ayoub Ben, has confirmed that Manal Al-Sharif has been charged with breach of public order and security, and with 'deliberately inciting the media and other Saudi women' to drive cars. She will be detained for a further five days pending investigation. There are reports that Al-Sharif has signed a pledge in prison not to drive again in Saudi Arabia. UPDATE: Al-Sharif's prison sentence has been extended for a further ten days, starting from Thursday 26 May. Women's rights activist Wajeha al-Huwaider was called in for questioning by her employers, Saudi Aramco, regarding her support for Manal, and forced to sign a pledge not to support the 17 June campaign. Al-Huwaider added the disclaimer that she will continue demanding the right of women to drive through different channels until it is codified into law.
A recent hate campaign has been waged against the London-based academic and imam, Dr Usama Hasan. He has been victimised, accused of apostasy and has received death threats for his comments on evolution and the woman's right to choose whether or not to wear hijab. The Board of the Muslim Women's Network-UK (http://www.mwnuk.co.uk/) strongly condemns the bullying and harassment of Dr Hasan.
The International Solidarity Network, Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) is deeply shocked that a court in Nankana Sahib, Pakistan, has sentenced a 45-year-old Christian woman, Asia Bibi, to death on the charge of having committed "blasphemy". Although illiterate, she has been accused of denying the institution of prophet-hood by citing copious examples from the key texts of Islam. We join local human rights organizations, international women's groups and religious minorities in calling for Pakistan to urgently repeal its Blasphemy Laws. We also appeal to the authorities to guarantee the safety of Asia Bibi and her family from the rage of local extremists, as well as investigate the violent persecution of the Christian community in the Punjab.
The Violence is Not our Culture Campaign (VNC) and Women Living Under Muslim Laws (WLUML) are deeply concerned over the continued denial of human rights in Iran in light of the Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani case. Lack of due process and the right to a fair trial, arbitrary detention, torture, and restrictions of freedom of information, of the press, and of association sadly constitute the status quo in the Islamic Republic.
Women's Human Rights Defenders in the Gambia and WLUML networkers, Dr. Isatou Touray and Ms. Amie Bojang-Sissoho, were freed on the morning of Wednesday 20 October, after paying a bail of 1,500,000 dalasi (local currency) - approx £35,000. Details of their trial will shortly be posted.
Déclaration de WLUML et la Campagne mondiale «Arrêtons de tuer et de lapider les femmes » (Campagne SKSW) sur l'arrestation de Défenseuses des droits humains des femmes en Gambie, Dr. Isatou Touray et Mme Amie Bojang-Sissoho.

If you are looking for a good easy hike this is a great trail. It connects Dresden at Seneca Lake to the town of Penn Yan at Keuka Lake. Runs along an old railroad bed with a canal on one side and a stream on the other. Old factories and remnants a time long ago give you a lot to look at and wonder about. The terrain is rather flat, and shared with bikers and families with dogs. Great coverage in and out of the sun. Near the Penn Yan entrance the trail is paved.
We hiked from the Lake Seneca side to Penn Yan which was perfect. When we entered Penn Yan there a few places offering lunch so we could relax and then return. At the Lake Seneca entrance there is an ice cream stand to enjoy.

The Australian government has unveiled the world's largest system of marine reserves with plans that put limits on oil and gas exploration in Western Australia, extend reef protection in the Coral Sea and possibly open the flood gates for compensation potentially worth hundreds of millions of dollars for the commercial fishing industry.
Marine Park Zones
Environment Minister Tony Burke released the final map for the proposed Coral Sea marine park, as part of 44 new marine reserves to cover Australia's waters.
'It's time for the world to turn a corner on the protection of our oceans,' Minister Bourke said.
'This is a massive step forward in ocean protection. We have decided to become the world leader in ocean protection. The jewel of the crown in the entire process goes to the Coral Sea.'
While more than a third of Australia's ocean will be protected under a Gillard Government plan to add 44 large-scale marine reserves to the national network, the plan falls short of demands by environmental groups to create the world's largest single marine park in the Coral Sea in which all commercial activity would be banned.
Mr Burke said the government's aim was to protect Australia's unique marine environment, 'while supporting coastal communities and marine industries around the country'.
'Over the coming months, the government will consult the fishing industry and fisheries management agencies on the design and implementation of a fisheries adjustment assistance package,' he said.
He warned it was too late to change the size of the reserves and their location.
'The question now is very straight forward: Do we go ahead with the most comprehensive marine park network in the world or do we not?' he said.
The new marine reserves take the overall size of the Commonwealth marine reserves network to 3.1 million square kilometres, and features:
* The Coral Sea Region - which covers an area of more than half the size of Queensland - supports critical nesting sites for the green turtle and is renowned for its diversity of big predatory fish and sharks
* The South-West Marine Region - which extends from the eastern end of Kangaroo Island in SA to Shark Bay in WA - is of global significance as a breeding and feeding ground for a number of protected marine species such as southern right whales, blue whales and the Australian Sea Lion
* The Temperate East Marine Region - which runs from the southern boundary of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park to Bermagui in southern NSW - includes the waters surrounding Lord Howe and Norfolk Islands and is home to the critically endangered east coast population of grey nurse shark, the vulnerable white shark and has important offshore reef habitat at Elizabeth and Middleton Reefs and Lord Howe Island that support the threatened black cod
* The North-West Marine Region - which stretches from the WA-NT border through to Kalbarri, south of Shark Bay in WA - is home to the whale shark which is the world's largest fish and provides protection to the world's largest population of humpback whales that migrate annually from Antarctica to give birth in the water off the Kimberely
The Marine National Park Zones (green on the national map) provide the highest level of protection, banning extractive activities including fishing and petroleum.
Passage of vessels is still allowed in those zones, as is tourism and some recreational activities, such as diving.
The Habitat Protection Zones and Conservation Park Zones (yellow on the map) protect habitats such a coral reefs.
Some low impact extractive activities - including some forms of commercial fishing - are allowed in those areas, while recreational fishing and tourism are allowed.
The Multiple Use and Special Purpose Zones (light blue and dark blue on the map) allow for a greater range of activities, both recreational and commercial. Some activities, for example bottom trawl and gillnet fishing, are excluded.
It is expected that the final marine reserves will be declared before the end of the 2012.

J.T. Waters might not be a household name around the Lowcountry, but national media outlets Yahoo Sports and MaxPreps know all about the talented quarterback putting up some truly remarkable numbers this fall.
Both national websites reported on the senior's accomplishments in Palmetto Christian Academy's season-opener, a 62-49 victory over Porter-Gaud on Aug. 20. Waters was nearly flawless, accounting for 618 total yards (306 passing, 312 rushing) and eight touchdowns.
"It's always a good thing when you hear your name mentioned at the national level," Waters said. "It makes it even more impressive when you play for some small school in Charleston, S.C."
Palmetto Christian is a private school in Mount Pleasant with 496 students in Kindergarten through 12th grade. There are 130 students enrolled at the high school level. Located just a few miles down the road is Wando High, the largest school in the state with an enrollment inching toward 4,000.
Waters has no regrets about attending a small SCISA school instead of playing for one of the state's traditional football powers in the High School League. He's still managed to catch the attention of college recruiters. He's getting interest from The Citadel and Wofford, and already has an offer from Newberry.
What the 5-10, 175-pound player brings to the table is big numbers and a big heart. He has rushed 137 times for 1,180 yards and 21 touchdowns. He's completed 66 of 116 passes for 1,089 yards and nine more TDs. That projects to 4,538 yards for the regular season, and doesn't include probable playoff games for the Eagles, who are 4-1 heading into Friday's home game against Bible Baptist.
"He's a competitor," Palmetto Christian coach Jim Daniel said. "He competes against himself. He's always working hard, wanting to do better."
Waters' best game last year included 520 yards in total offense. He finished the 2012 season with 1,644 yards rushing and 31 touchdowns, along with 1,512 passing yards and nine TDs to lead his team to a 7-4 record. It was after the season that Waters made the commitment to the weight room and agility drills.
Waters' father, Johnny Waters, has been a longtime football coach. He was an assistant coach at Bishop England and came to PCA when the football program was started seven years ago.
"On the field, they have a player/coach relationship," Daniel said. "You don't hear dad or son. You don't hear that until they go home at night and watch film. J.T makes it easy for us as coaches because he knows the system and works so hard."
Waters wants to end his high school football career with a state championship. Palmetto Christian has been close before, losing in the Class AA state championship game against Dillon Christian in 2009.
"This season has been interesting," Waters said. "I just go out there, have faith in the coaching staff and wait for the offensive line to open some holes. We believe. We believe we can win the state championship."

Waccamaw Highs wrestling team beat Conway 54-21 on Wednesday night.
Warriors coach Scott Cook was happy with the win, but stressed that the Tigers squad was missing six wreslters due to sickness or injury.
I told [the Conway coach] I hate it because it ended up being lopsided. But you still have to go out and wrestle whos there, Cook said.
Waccamaw raced out to a 30-0 lead.
Arman Singh, McKinley Groomes, Connor Summer and Parker Williams all got pins and Shea Burke won on points.
After Conway got on the board with a win on points, the teams traded forfeits.
Tyler Davis then got a pin to extend the Waccamaw lead to 42-15.
Conway got a pin to cut the lead to 52-21, and then Gabe Pope got a pin and Bobby Walters won by forfeit for the 54-21 final.
It was sweet revenge for the Warriors, who lost to Conway 42-36 last week.
Ive got some guys that are wrestling well, Cook said. Everybodys just trying to stay healthy going into the playoffs. Thats the main things.
Georgetown lost to region rivals St. James and North Myrtle Beach last week, and beat Cross and Military Magnet.
Eric Techer had two pins, and Nick Cooper, Dalton Ethridge, Jarrett Huneault, Al Mazone and Gerald German had one pin each.
Varsity wrestlers from Waccamaw and Georgetown will compete in the Horry/Georgetown Invitational at St. James High School on Saturday.
The Warriors will then host the Bulldogs in a tri-match on Wednesday that will also feature Loris. The match starts at 6 p.m.

Greenberg Traurig Alert
December 2000
By Harry J. Friedman
and Robert
J. Robes
View or download the PDF version of this Alert
The Florida sales and use tax is applicable to purchases of tangible
personal property and leases of non-residential real estate. Nonprofit organizations
are required to pay the tax on purchases and leases unless the organization
is specifically exempted from the imposition of the tax and is eligible
to receive a consumer's certificate of exemption from sales tax. Currently,
these narrow exceptions apply to organizations that supply goods and services
that are beneficial to the public or promote a socially desirable goal such
as public charities organized for educational, scientific or religious purposes
and churches. Under present law, qualifying as a tax-exempt organization
under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code alone does not entitle
a nonprofit organization to an exemption from the sales tax.
Due to the complexity of the current rules in determining whether an
organization is exempt from the sales and use tax, the Florida Legislature
decided to simplify the rules relating to these exemptions. Effective January
1, 2001, any nonprofit organization exempt from federal income taxation
under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code will be exempt from
the Florida sales and use tax in connection with purchases and leases used
in carrying on the customary activities of the nonprofit organization. A
nonprofit organization, except churches in the case of tangible personal
property, will continue to be required to collect sales and use tax when
the organization is acting as a retailer or lessor.
Under the new legislation, a nonprofit organization is required to demonstrate
that it has section 501(c)(3) status by submitting its determination letter
from the Internal Revenue Service with the Form DR-5 to the Florida Department
of Revenue. Upon approval of the application, the organization will receive
a tax exemption number. A Form DR-5 is available from the Florida Department
of Revenue website at http://sun6.dms.state.fl.us/dor/.
We have confirmed with the Florida Department of Revenue that it is currently
accepting applications for exemptions for organizations that are not eligible
for the exemption until January 1, 2001. Generally, exemptions are granted
4-6 weeks after the receipt of the application by the Florida Department
of Revenue and are effective as of the date of filing.

UT 'player of the week' Marrow was almost a RedHawkWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
NOTE: This is the 10th installment of a weekly series in which staff writer Mike Bauman will follow sixth-year Toledo senior cornerback Desmond Marrow for the 2011 season.
Toledo cornerback Desmond Marrow was named as the Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Week following a 28-21 victory over Bowling Green on Oct. 15.
The senior cornerback had 10 tackles and a career-high three passes defensed against the Falcons.
With Marrow's award, Toledo has had a player honored by the MAC for a weekly award in six of seven weeks this season. Junior wide receiver Eric Page has been honored three times while junior linebacker Robert Bell and senior kicker Ryan Casano have each received a weekly honor once.
But Marrow was almost a RedHawk instead of a Rocket.
Miami (Ohio), which upset No. 24-ranked Northern Illinois 26-21 in last season's MAC championship game, was the school Marrow originally committed to back when he was a junior at Cardinal Mooney High School in Youngstown.
"Yeah, that is kind of crazy," Marrow said. "Actually, that crossed my mind. I thought about that like, 'Man, I would have been there winning the MAC Championship,' but I got my second chance. I'm just now trying to make the best of it here at Toledo and win this year."
At the time of last year's MAC Championship, Marrow did not know whether he would be back with the Rockets in 2011. He was still waiting to hear from the NCAA to see if his waiver request to receive a sixth year of eligibility due to medical hardship would be granted.
"I was more mad at the fact that we lost to Northern [Illinois], so I kind of wanted Northern [Illinois] to lose just because we had a bad taste in our mouth from that game," Marrow said. "Just seeing Miami pull that game out, I know they were the underdog by, like, a lot of points and they came out and won. So that was good for them."
After just one unofficial visit in high school, Marrow made a verbal commitment to the RedHawks, the first college he remembers offering him a full ride. His parents were big on academics, and Marrow was also impressed with former Miami assistant coach Tim Cooper.
"I think I kind of jumped the gun and just committed too early," Marrow said. "Just a kid from Youngstown hearing I could go to school for free, that just sounded, like, amazing to me and my parents."
Once Marrow sat down and gave his decision some thought, he retracted his verbal commitment from the RedHawks. A number of factors helped change his mind. His uncle, Vince Marrow, played at Toledo. Two of Marrow's good friends from Youngstown in senior tight end Jerome Jones and former Rocket Joe Underwood had committed to UT. Toledo was also closer to home.
As his days at Cardinal Mooney wound down, Marrow had visited the UT campus with his parents and liked what he saw. Still, the night before national signing day in 2006 he had yet to decide if he was going to play for the Rockets.
"I wasn't sure where I was going to go," Marrow said. "But the night before signing day, I prayed about it and then I just committed with Toledo."
Now Marrow has come full circle. Miami was picked to win the MAC East Division in the conference's preseason poll, while UT was picked to win the MAC. A victory over the RedHawks on Oct. 22 would help Toledo achieve that goal. In his career, Marrow has never beaten Miami.
The RedHawks are the first opponent in a three-game home stand for the Rockets. The other teams coming to the Glass Bowl during that stretch are Northern Illinois and Western Michigan.

Sega is planning to give Android tablets a little extra love soon in the form of a new MMO that will be arriving onto Android and iOS soon. Originally a browser-based MMO, Puzzle Pirates will be making its way to Android tablets in the near future and the mobile version of Puzzle Pirates will offer up full cross-platform gameplay and all the features that the current browser games comes with.
One of the two gaming centric Android tablets has officially gone on sale now for $179. The Archos Gamepad is an Android tablet with a focus on gaming with physical gaming controls available on either side of the 7" tablet which runs Android 4.1, otherwise known as Jelly Bean.
PAX East 2013 began just over an hour ago or so ago and one of the first major press events was Blizzard's where they announced their new game Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. While it will be available for PC and Mac of course, this title becomes their first mobile available game but if you followed the event then you probably know where we are going with this already. Unfortunately the only mobile platform that is being supported, at least for now, is the iPad.
Overhaul Games have sent out word that they are looking for the opinions of Android gamers out there in Android land regarding Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition. However, it isn't about how the content should play out or special exclusive content for the Android version or anything like that. It actually has to do with device support.

I disagree, Supes is generally seen as outdated and lame, I don't think many are all that interested in a new film. MoS has the task of re-establishing him & turning around the GA perception of him. I mean, never say never and all that, it could be a big hit but more than likely if it's really good then somewhere in the $500m range.
Plus the movie going public can be somewhat forgiving even after a previous poor offering. People by and large hated '03 Hulk but they still came to Incredible Hulk, people disliked MIB2 but they still came to MIB3, people despised X-men Last Stand but came to First Class, people disliked Spider-Man 3 but still came to Amazing Spider-Man, and I think people who were less than thrilled with Superman Returns will still come to MOS.
TIH only made about $20 million more than Hulk'03.
I could give you MIB3. It went from $441m in MIB2 to $624 in MIB3, but it did have 3d, 10 years of inflation/expansion & made $11m less in the US.
X3 made $459m, XOW made $373m, XFC made $353m. That's a $100m drop.
Spidey3 made $890m, TASM made $752 with 3d.
Not so forgiving in general.

The only name I've officially heard as being involved with the MoS script (other than Goyer) is Kurt Johnstad and that was to polish the 3rd act. C Nolan has a story credit and that's it. Goyer recently claimed full credit for the script, so J Nolan can't have been involved heavily (though I really hope he was).. and that worries me greatly because Goyer is a sucky screenwriter.
On the other hand Marvel have the likes of Black & Rodat writing IM3 & Thor:TDW, Whedon on hand if needed & just a better track record. For my money those two have more
for quality. (Indeed, I think Phase 2 as a whole will be much better than the first simply for being so much more together and unified under a clearer vision/direction right from the get go.)

I disagree. Thor is in a better position than Supes is right now. If MoS is well recieved and makes 2.5 times it's budget (like Begins did, & as is the general rule for BO success), which would be about $437m WW, then WB should be happy regardless of what Thor makes. That would be a solid base to build on.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
July 10, 1962 H. ALBINGER, JR
LIGHT DISTRIBUTING LENS SYSTEM 2 Sheets-Sheet 1 Filed April 8, 1960 .W r r mmkw My w WW k July 10, 1962 H. ALBINGER, JR
LIGHT DISTRIBUTING LENS SYSTEM 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed April 8, 1960 p 3,043,947 Patented July 1 This invention relates to illuminating means for indicating dials.
Since the advent of plastics, there has been developed a procedure of edge lighting such indicating devices as plastic dials with the source of illumination located at the edge of the dial and concealed from direct view. The
light from this source is conducted by a series of internal reflections through a light distributing lens and only emerges as visible light when an indented reflecting surface or irregularity such as an engraved mark is encountered in the surface of the lens. In the prior art appreciable difliculty has been experienced in attempting to eliminate the shadow on the dial caused by indicator shafts, etc. passing through the dial and ingenerally providing a dial with a uniform illuminating means. For these reasons many of the previously used dials have required more than one illuminating source. This invention relates to an improvement in this type of illuminated dial which provides better control of the light distribution over the entire surface of the dial while using only one source of illumination.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an inexpensive lighting system for an illuminated dial which greatly increases the efliciency and the effectiveness of such dials.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a dial illuminating system with an optical means to provide a gesired distribution of light over the entire area of the ial.
According to the invention, an edge-lighted dial having an even light distribution over the entire surface of the dial is provided. This light distribution may be eifected by the location of semi-spherical depressions in the surface of the lens which intercept light rays passing through the plane of the lens and reflect them out of the lens to illuminate the dial as desired. These indentations are increased in depth or quantity as the distance from the light source increases or at other places as desired to provide for the desired distribution of the light. These indented reflecting surfaces may be located on the front of the lens so as to reflect most of the light rays to the back of the lens where they may be again reflected by a sheet reflecting or diffusing surface-to pass through the 7 Where the terms lens or lens plate are used herein,
they are intended to include indicator dials, signs, and similar devices formed of glass, plastic, etc. in which light rays or illumination is conducted to indicia on the lens through which the light is conducted from the illuminating source or on a dial placed in front of the lens.
The subject matter which I regard as my invention is particularly pointed out and distinctly claimed in the concluding portion of this specification. My invention, however, both as to organization and method of operation together with further objects and advantages thereof may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a detailed view of the combined lens and lamp holder assembly;
FIG. 2 is a side view, in section, of the combined lens and lamp holder assembly;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged view, in section, of the lens and lamp holder assembly.
Referring now more particularly to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates an embodiment of the invention adapted for the illumination of lens plate '1. The lens plate 1 may be formed of any of the materials normally employed for edge-lighted dials. In the arrangement shown, the lens plate is somewhat circular in shape with a portion 2 extending therefrom and connecting the plate with a light source or lamp holder 3. The lens plate is of uniform thickness in this embodiment and is shown with a hole or opening 4 situated in the center to allow various control means or pointers to protrude therethrough such as would be required in utilizing the subject lens in an electric clock or similar apparatus. Also, mounting studs 5 may be provided for positioning the lens within a supporting structure.
Referring now more particularly to FIGS. 2 and 3, a support member 6 is illustrated, preferably of plastic material, projecting from the edge of the lens plate to the lamp holder 3. In this manner, the lamp holder may be rigidly positioned with respect to the lens plate and the support member 6 serves to conduct light from the holder 3 to the lens plate 1. It should be understood that the lamp holder 3, support member 6, and lens plate 1 may be formed separately and fastened together in a suitable manner; however, the preferred embodiment is shown in the drawings whereby the complete structure is molded or otherwise formed in one integral unit. It should be noted that the particular combination of lens and lamp holder structure illustrated is the invention of Chester B. Marble and myself and is described in the copending application Serial No. 20,953, filed April 8, 1960, and assigned to the present assignee.
The lamp holder 3 may be formed in a clamp or C- shape with member 7 being of a light-conducting material to provide a resilient clamping action so that a lamp 8 may be forced into the clamp member 7 and securely held in position. The lamp 8 may be of the usual miniature electric type with two conductors 9 leading therefrom for connection to a means of electrical energization to illuminate the lamp.
When the lamp 10 is inserted in the proper position within the lamp holder 3 and illuminated, light rays emanate therefrom andare conducted through the lamp holder 7 and into the support member 6 where they are reflected between the surfaces, as indicated by the arrows in FIG. 3, and thereafter into the lens plate 1. A refleeting shield or tape (not shown) may be placed around the lamp holder 3 after the lamp .10 is inserted to help contain the illumination and direct the light into the support member 6.
surface 11 may be situated adjacent to the rear surface of the lens which again reflects the light rays coming from the spherical depressions 10 back through the front surface of the lens and through a dial plate where it is visible to the observer. This reflector 11 may take the form of any general type of reflecting and diffusing plate situated adjacent to the lens or may be a reflecting film deposited-directly on the surface of the lens plate.
It has been found that this configuration of reflector indentations 10 together with the reflecting and diffusing surface 11 is superior because of the particular reflectedlight distribution which is provided thereby. Where flat 3. or semi-flat reflector surfaces tend to concentrate the reflected light in parallel beam patterns, these spherical reflect-or surfaces distribute the light over the entire surface area of the lens plate thereby providing for a uniform light distribution over the entire lens plate surface which is much more desirable than in previously discloseddentations in the back of the lens plate so that light rays reflected thereby through the front of the lens plate may become visible to an observer. without the utilization of the additional reflector 11. i
As the light passes through the plane of lens plate 1, naturally some of it is not intercepted by the indented reflect-or surfaces and reflected out of the lens plate. To prevent this light from emanating from the edge of the lens plate 1 and causing undesirable lighting effects around the edge of the lens, the edges of the lens plate 1 which this light encounters are beveled to form reflector surfaces 12.. In this manner, better utilization is made of the light passing into the lens plate :1 since more 7 of the light not encountering the indented reflector sur-.
faces 10 when it first passes through the lens plate is reflected back through the lens by these reflector surfaces 12 where it may again be reflected out of the lens plate by reflectors 10. These reflector surfaces 12 may be of any form for this purpose .and because they increase the amount of light which is actually utilized, a smaller illuminating source may be utilized to provide suflicient illumination for a dial;
In order that an equal distribution of light may be provided throughout the desired area of the lens plate while using just one illumination source, the spherical depressions 10 on the side. of the lens 1 next tothe illuminating source may be formed more shallow than those deeper depressions located at a further distance from the light source. As these light rays travel greater distances through the lens they lose energy to a certain extent, or else certain areas of the lens may be shadowed by controls, etc., extending through the lens plate since the light travels in straight hnes. The difference in depth of these depressions assures that each depression will intercept and reflect a substantially equal amount of light energy. It should be understood, however, that a similar result may be obtained by locating the reflectors or reflecting surfaces closer together instead of deeper, or both. Also, it is desirable in some applications to vary the depth of those reflecting indentations 10 which are immediately adjacent to the reflecting edge 12 to be more shallow, as here again, more light might be reflected into this area by the reflecting edge 12. I
Also, when the lens plate is utilized in applications where it is desired to bring out through the center opening 4 various controls or pointer means, it has been found advantageous to also locate reflecting depressions 13 on the underside of lens plate -1 to reflect light directly through the front surface of the lens and further raise the level of illumination in that area which is shadowed by the control means situated within the center opening 4. From the foregoing description, it is apparent that this illuminating system solves many of the-problems heretofore associated with the lighting of dials or instruments in that it provides a relatively inexpensive means for securing a desired distribution of light over an entire surface Of the lens. While I have illustrated and described a particular embodiment of this invention, modifications thereof will occur to those skilled in the art. I desire it to be understood, therefore, that this invention is not to be limited to the particular arrangement disclosed, and I intend in the appended claim to cover all modifications which do not depart from the spirit and scope of my invention.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
An illuminating indicator device, comprising, a light transmitting panel member having front and rear face sur faces, a lamp holder integrally formed with said panel member, a centrally located opening extending through the front and rear surfaces of said light transmitting panel member, a lamp positioned in said lamp holder, means for transmitting light rays from the source of light in said lamp to said paneland through said panel in a direction generally parallel to the face surfaces of said panel, an elongated opening extending through said lamp holder, tape means gripping said lamp to. accurately hold said lamp adjacent to said means for transmitting light rays from said lamp to said panel, reflector indentations formed in the front face surface of said, panel to intercept said light rays emanating from said lamp and reflect them out through the front of said panel, said indentations being extended further intothe panel member as the distance from the lamp, to said centrally located opening increases, means formed at the outer periphery of said panel for reflecting light from the portion of said panel behind said reflector indentations forwardly to said reflector indentations so that light is reflected by and passes through said reflector indentations, and other reflector indentations formed in the front surface between said centrally located opening and said reflector means formed at the outer periphery of said panel, and reflector indentations formed in the rear face surface of said panel close to said centrally located opening between said centrally located opening and the means formed at the outer periphery of the panel for reflecting light, said reflector indentations formed in the rear face surface being arranged opposite to the reflector indentations formed in the front face surface and arranged for cooperating with each other to intercept light rays emanating from said source and reflect,
them out through the front of said panel and to provide a uniform level of illumination in that area of the light transmitting panel in the vicinity of the centrally located opening remote from the lamp holder.

To take the statewide survey on transportation funding and to join an ongoing transportation panel, visit Voice of Washington Survey
Tolling on floating bridge to begin Dec. 29
After a long delay, tolling on the Highway 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington will begin at 5 a.m. Dec. 29, officials said Wednesday.
The Washington Transportation Department plans to use tolls to help pay for a new floating bridge on Lake Washington that will cost more than $4 billion. Pontoons already are under construction for the replacement of the 48-year-old bridge with a new six-lane bridge.
Officials say the bridge could be damaged during earthquakes and severe windstorms. It spans the lake from the University District in Seattle to Bellevue, carrying about 500,000 vehicles every day.
The bridge will be the first in the state with all-electronic tolling, rather than cash-collection tollbooths. The system allows tolls to be collected at highway speeds through windshield stickers or through license-recognition photos, which automatically generate a bill that is mailed to drivers.
The toll rates will vary depending on traffic, costing up to $3.50 during the peak commute. The toll will be automatically deducted from prepaid accounts of drivers with a "Good to Go" transponder. Other drivers will be mailed a bill with a $1.50 surcharge.
A new statewide survey found that every region in Washington supports using tolls to pay for big transportation projects — every region, that is, except Southwest Washington.
Released Wednesday by the Washington Transportation Committee, the survey shows tolls have favor from 59 percent of 5,518 respondents — a funding mechanism expected to cover about one-third of the $3.1 billion to $3.6 billion price tag on the Columbia River Crossing project.
But just 43 percent of respondents in Southwest Washington said they like tolling as a way to pay for big projects, trailing next lowest supportive region, Benton-Franklin-Walla Walla, by 10 percent.
The study — sent to 10,000 residents in balance with the state's demographics — also found majority support for toll prices that go up in peak hours (62 percent) and for "raising some transportation taxes and fees" (59 percent), according to the Washington Transportation Commission. Both those topics proved unpopular here.
Tim Schauer, Clark County's local representative on Gov. Chris Gregoire's Connecting Washington Task Force, tasked with piecing together recommendations on ways to create stable funding for the state's struggling transportation budget, said the right questions haven't been asked to local residents.
Tolls are a user fee, and transportation projects have to be paid for somehow: If it's not tolls, it could be a higher gas, sales or property tax, he said.
"We don't support tolls (here), but we haven't really done a good job of presenting people choices," Schauer said. "Clark County needs an education on if not tolls then what?"
Yet statewide, when the survey asked about specific taxes and fees, enthusiasm flagged.
Washingtonians threw their weight behind just three of nine specific new or increased taxes or fees: Sixty-one percent support a vehicle emissions fee; 60 percent support a special license fee for electric vehicles; and 52 percent support tolls. About half (46 percent) support an increase in the state gas tax.
Still, Schauer said, people respond positively to paying more if they know they're going to see benefits.
"I think the public is ready to pay for additional transportation improvements," he said. "But they're going to be very careful and very intelligent about how that money gets spent."
The results of the survey will help lawmakers as they consider a transportation package expected to come from Gregoire as soon as this spring, said Reema Griffith, executive director of the state transportation commission.
"The Legislature is going to take all these inputs, and the (Washington Department of) Transportation issues priority project list, and put them together," Griffith said. "They'll have a lot of information before them."
The survey results will be presented as part of the commission's monthly meeting, set for Tuesday and Wednesday at the state Transportation Building in Olympia. The commission will also set the tolling rates for the CRC. Briefings and updates on the CRC will be on the agenda.
