CARTHAGE, MO.--- Missouri lawmakers are considering boosting payments to jails throughout the state. In Jasper County alone, it cost $2.2 million to house inmates last year. $684,000 of that was covered by the state - but in theory, state payments should cover 100%. Now, Missouri Representative Tom Flanigan of Carthage wants to up the state's share from $19.58 per day to $25. The increase would be a welcome to Jasper County Sheriff Randee Kaiser.
"It was higher three or four years ago, in the low 20s - $23 or $24 dollar range. It has decreased over the past years," said Sheriff Randee Kaiser, Jasper County.
Kaiser says it costs almost $33 a day to house an inmate in the Jasper County Jail. That covers everything from security and jail maintenance to food and clothing for the inmates. The increase in funds could mean less of a strain on county budgets.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas – The campus of Texas A&M University is on alert after a student was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.
Nicolis Williams is hospitalized, but his condition has not been released.
"Nico is a very sweet and loving young man. He always greets you with a smile that resonates from his heart," his family said. " He brings joy to everyone he meets without having to say a word. His family asks for your continued prayers."
Meningitis is an inflammation of the lining around the brain and spinal cord. The viral version is less serious. But bacterial meningitis can be deadly.
About 50 people have stopped by the campus health center over the past few days, university officials said.
The symptoms are similar to the flu early on, but can quickly progress.
Dr. Martha Dannenbaum, the director of student health services, said the university was tracking down the student's classmates and professors. People who may have been exposed to the illness will be given free antibiotics, she said.
Students who live on campus are required to have the vaccine. But those who live off-campus are not.
"That's very dangerous, " said Anna Dragsbaek, a lawyer with The Immunization Partnership, which is based in Houston. The group is trying to amend state law to change that.
This is A&M's second case of bacterial meningitis this academic year.
"It's pretty scary because I hear it's very contagious," said Brittany Trask, a senior engineering student from Conroe. "And you never know who could be carrying it."

Gin Wigmore: A Brush With James Bond Unveils A Singular Voice
Originally published on Sat April 6, 2013 4:34 pm
Sometimes a background player on a movie or TV screen will command the attention of the viewer and force them to ask, "Who was that?!" That's what happened with Gin Wigmore's performance in a series of Heineken ads featuring Daniel Craig as James Bond, about to take a dive out of a high-speed train.
Gin Wigmore was on the screen for only a fleeting moment — but her song, "Man Like That," which scored the chase scene, stood out. The 26-year-old New Zealand native says the song is one of a few she's used to playfully exorcise some old romantic grudges.
"Writing music is such a freeing exercise, and it's really nice to play in that world of being confident, vengeful — getting back at all the bad boyfriends," Wigmore says. "You know, you break up and you say something pathetic, or you don't even speak at all, when someone's telling you they don't love you anymore. But then you think about it five minutes later and you have all these great comebacks! That's the great thing about songwriting: You have that time to have perspective, and look back and think about all the things you'd want to say."
Gin Wigmore now has a full album available in the U.S., Gravel & Wine. She discusses it here with NPR's Jacki Lyden; to hear their conversation, click the audio link on this page.

Two Young Girls Answer the Call
Abby and Morgan were on their way to school early one morning, when a brilliant idea came to mind! Whether it's because the girls are twin sisters or simply divine inspiration – Abby and Morgan both felt a strong call to do something for local kids in need!
The whole way to school they couldn't stop thinking about what they could do to help. After school, the sisters shared their idea to help other kids with their dad, Brian, who was touched by his eight year old twin daughters' concern for kids who they had never met. He began researching online right away for the perfect organization for his family to partner with and support. After learning about various local shelters, the family decided to organize their food drive for Catholic Charities Father Ed Judy House Homeless Shelter (FEJH) serving single women and children.
Soon the girls' simple food drive grew to a full-scale family effort. They decided that they would collect donations at a party hosted in their backyard coined "hot chocolate and s'mores!" With the fearless exuberance only seen in young people passionately on a mission, Abby and Morgan went door to door in their Littleton neighborhood, inviting over 50 neighbors to their backyard festivities.
The food drive turned party became the neighborhood "can't miss event". The twin's extended family and friends attended, even neighbors they'd never met before came to support the girls and to learn about the good work of the Father Ed Judy House. Our very own FEJH volunteer coordinator Theresa was invited to join the celebration too! She passed the night roasting marshmallows, making s'mores and getting to know Abby and Morgan's extended circle of avid supporters. "The girls are a truly inspiring part of the Father Ed Judy House community" says Theresa. "We are extremely grateful for all their hard work and desire to help the families we serve."
By the end of the night, everyone was all smiles, their bellies full of homemade goodies made by Morgan and Abby. As for the girls themselves, they were in awe of all the new people they met and the amount of donations that were collected. After everyone else had gone home, the girls helped Theresa pack a van filled with their loved ones' generous offerings- paper towels, diapers, toys, books, clothes, shampoo, cleaning products and tons of other needed supplies.
The next day, the whole family stopped by the Father Ed Judy House to meet a few of our current residents and tour the home. Most notably, they saw first-hand the need of basic personal and household items that the families experiencing poverty struggle to have every day. Because of their fun party, our Father Ed Judy House now has boxes of much needed supplies for the current resident families as well as some for others in our FEJH Alumni Program.

Why is it whenever there is a posting about football the Gumps from Bammer come out to comment?? Many posting about LSU baseball and they disappear! How is Bama baseball doing gumps??
Hey Tall Cajun looks like they hit themselves out of the wet paper bag to sec champs!
Saying that they cant hit themselves out of a wet paper bag is far from constructive criticism.
Tall Cajun you seem to be a fair weather fan of LSU. If its that hard to deal with then dont watch them. These Tigers will be fine and if you look at the west standings I would say LSU looks pretty good!
This # 1 Ranking is well deserved. These guys are really starting to play Tiger Baseball!
LSU 1999 whats your issue with JA?? This hire is a good move for the basketball program. Much better than what we had coaching the last few years!
LSU 2 games Gumps ZEREAUX!! Maybe you boys can get Saban to coach your baseball team as well!
You cannot judge this guy from a 9 minute video. He is no where near 290 so just drop that thought. If you never seen this kid play then just wait. Yes he can throw the long ball and pretty damn good I might add. He did something pre game I only seen Jamarcus do. That was kneel at the 50 yard line and throw bullets at the pad behind the endzone. So for those of you trying to judge this kid before you have seen him play just wait. The WR 's will be wide eyed when they see what this guy can do. IMO I think this was a great pickup for the Tigers.
This kid is a player and not what some of you may think. Ive seen him play several games and he is very atheletic. 6'4 about 270-275 but he is only about 5% bodyfat. Very quick with a strong arm. Sort of reminds me of the power of Jamarcus but this kid is much smarter and makes better throws. He will push for the starting position no doubt about it.
Great pickup for the Tigers. If they can pull in Edwards this defense is going to be top notch for the next couple of years.
You Bama fans need to just go down this list of comments and take a long look at them. Its like a bunch of 5 year olds crying! You lost the game plain and simple and the better team won so get over yourselves. You guys have yourself believing that Saban is god and everyone is so jealous of your so called accomplishments,,,Really damn people get over yourselves. If anyone is embarrasing its BAMA fans. Just like the guy being plastered all over the internet because he was on national tv crying that you got your @sses beat on your own turf. BTW LSU fans are glad you have Saban and we all know LES is BEST! Cant wait to see you in Death Valley next year for your 3rd straight BEATDOWN in a row by the TIGERS!!
Why is it that every post that is put on here about LSU we have to have some big mouth loser from BAMA come on here and run their mouth. Who really gives a crap what any of these Rednecks have to say. They have their head so far up Sabans ass that its not even funny. Saban was a good coach while here was here at LSU but he is gone now and we dont care anymore.
Scorpio you have been raging about this for months now. Let it go bro its old news. Jordan is lucky to even be playing football right now for LSU. I am a Jordan fan and hope he keeps doing well.
TsunamiTide is a typical Troll from Bama!
First off I would like to know why these moron Bama fans think LSU is jealous of?? JealouSU ?? I dont get it?? Last I remembered we kicked ur @ss last year and will more than likely do it again this year so jealous of what???
I dont think it would make a difference either way.
Although its exciting to see the Tigers get the respect and recognition it deserves, I think I am more excited to see Lee get the respects he deserves. This young man showed alot of class staying with LSU throughout all the adversity he faced. His confidence builds with every game and I think at the end of the year he will be the guy that takes us to the championship.
Bob we are talking about this years schedule not next year. Anyway who cares about next years schedule right now unless your team is 0-3 and your already looking forward to it. Cmon man! Geaux Tigers.
I dont see anyone taking this #1 spot with the "D" they have this year.
Hey yes your right LSU's game was on TV but how about your Green Wave?? Uh no TV time but its all good. Did you enjoy the beating they received from Tulsa? 31-3 lol

We propose a novel approach to subspace clustering, which has important applications in motion segmentation. Our method makes an important exploitation of the spatial constraints to improve clustering results. Intuitively, we observe that tracked points that belong to a rigid moving object are likely close in proximity. Hence, using this information as a prior knowledge, we propose a weighted formulation which gives the subspace clustering as a posterior solution evidenced on the observed data. Our proposed approach is flexible and treats the previously proposed sparse subspace clustering algorithm as a special case. We also give a full treatment for the noisy case and with missing data and two modes of corruptions: random and column. On the Johns Hopkins 155 dataset, we present state-of-the-arts motion segmentation results, which demonstrate the power of the proposed approach.

Sexual exploitation of young people is top of commissioner concerns
Posted: November 03, 2012|
THE Conservative candidate hoping to be voted in as Derbyshire's first police and crime commissioner has put stopping the sexual exploitation of young people at the top of his manifesto pledges.
Simon Spencer said the targeting of young people for sex was a despicable crime that feeds on the victims' "low aspiration and lack of opportunities."
He wants to work with organisations such as Safe and Sound and Action for Children as well as youth workers and the police to rebuild confidence in young people.
Launching his manifesto, Mr Spencer pledged to "hit perpetrators hard, sending a clear message that their behaviour and the criminal activities they engage in are not acceptable."
He said: "I know the particular problems faced by people here in Derbyshire and whatever I do by having a tough stance on tackling sexual exploitation has to be in tandem with raising local aspirations and creating new opportunities for young people.
"Derbyshire police and organisations like Safe and Sound have led the way in targeting these despicable individuals involved in these vile crimes and I am going to ensure that we do even more together to tackle this issue."
Mr Spencer is one of four candidates hoping to be voted in as the county's first commissioner when the public go to the polls on November 15. The other candidates for the £75,000-a-year role are independent Rod Hutton, Labour's Alan Charles and UKIP's David Gale. The winner will replace the existing police authority and have the power the set the force's budget and hold it to account.
Mr Charles said: "'The sexual exploitation of anybody, particularly children, is a crime that must be eradicated. I have confidence in Derbyshire police and local authorities to recognise early warning signals of similar gangs operating anywhere in Derbyshire."
Mr Hutton, a former police special officer who worked with the Metropolitan police, said he had seen at first hand the "excellent and necessary work done in this area."
He said: "With my experience in this area and in working with third sector organisations, I believe that together we can put a plan together to minimise the risks to young people and women and care for those victims through the community safety partnership working."
Mr Gale said: "I led the delivery of one of the earliest information sharing systems to protect vulnerable children in the UK, so I understand the issues faced not just by young people but by the agencies tasked with their protection.
"We need more beat bobbies who know what's happening on their patch."

EXCLUSIVE | (Part 1) TJ Grant Talks Win Over Maynard and How He's "Incredibly Motivated" for Title Fight with Benson Henderson | BJPenn.com Radio
By JAKE CHASTAIN
| This week on BJPenn.com Radio our boys George and Pedro welcomed on newly-named number one UFC lightweight contender, TJ Grant. Grant, who is fresh off of the heels of his knock-out performance over Gray Maynard, is now officially set to face UFC lightweight champion Benson Henderson at UFC 164 on August 31st. TJ has been a long-time guest and favorite here at BJPenn.com and his time shared with us to discuss his fight over Maynard and his upcoming title shot with Henderson is greatly appreciated. Grant spoke on several topics ranging from his win over Gray two weeks ago, his upcoming fight with Benson, his training camp heading into the title fight at the end of summer, and what he's going to bring to Henderson in that title fight. Here are some of the highlights from Grant's interview on BJPenn.com Radio:
First, Mr. Grant spoke about his win over Maynard and how different he felt now that he has won himself a shot at the coveted UFC lightweight strap:
"It's taking a little while to sink in but definitely it's a good feeling. I've been putting a lot of work in, just grinding away. You know, quietly doing my thing and now I'm starting to really make some noise and this is where I want to be."
Grant also talked about the long road he's taken to get to this point in his career. After the stretch of fighting seven years inside the UFC Grant now finds himself gaining the recognition he's always deserved and he felt the need to thank BJPenn.com for always following him, supporting him, and what being in this position means to him now:
"It's been a long one, man, but you guys have supported me, you know, when no one really knew who I was and it's been a long road man, but that means a lot. I definitely never got discouraged or anything. I felt fortunate to fight as much as I did in the UFC and really climb the radar because, you know, I've had the right fights at the right times in my life and here I am man, I'm in a good spot and I couldn't really ask for anymore."
Grant then spoke about his #1 contender fight with Maynard two weeks ago, how he felt going into that fight and how he made knocking Gray out look, well, kind of simple:
"I felt confident in myself going into the fight but I was prepared to go in there and be put through the grinder and take a beating if I had to in order to win and, you know, sometimes you do everything right and things fall into place for you and you can have a performance like that. But, you know, you fight Gray Maynard ten times and it's not going to be the same outcome every time. The guy is a warrior and I was just glad to go out there and be able to do what I prepared to do. And, obviously, the plan early on in the fight was not to stand in front of him and feel his power. It wasn't until about a minute in that I kind of said, 'oh, I'm supposed to be moving right now. Not going out there and pulling a Clay Guida but I'm trying to keep the pressure, exchange with him, but be constantly moving.' And then once I found my rhythm after about a minute I felt like I was able to start to throw my combinations or whatever and get off a little bit."
TJ, who will try to derail Henderson's title run at the end of the summer, also talked briefly about how, even though his win over Maynard was overly impressive, his job is not done and how every fighter is only as good as his next fight:
"This job, man, you go right back into it. Everybody forgets about what you did and it's on to proving yourself again. Every time you're out there you're auditioning."
He also discussed how much things change with gaining a title fight as far as interviews, countdown shows, and just the publicity in general, explaining that he'll try to keep things as normal as possible and continue to do the important things the right way even with all the extra attention and build-up:
"I'll keep doing interviews with guys like you, I guess. I don't mind doing interviews and, uh, I'm sure it's going to get crazy but at the same time this is where I want to be in life and uh, you just have to try to manage it your best and make sure it doesn't interfere with your rest time. And just make sure you get good sleep and stuff like that and then I can do whatever I do after that. It's really important though as a fighter to get your rest and stuff like that but I'm not going to complain about that stuff, you know? I want to fight, I want to win, I want to make money, I want to become the champion, all these things and that's just something that comes along with it."
And although there are several added bonuses that come along with being a title contender, such as fame and money, Grant explained that he remains focused on what's important heading into UFC 164:
"I don't even think about that stuff. I don't think about anything other than just fighting. I don't think about how much money I'm going to make or anything like that. It's about going to war."
"I'm incredibly motivated. To me it's such an honor to fight for the belt and everything else. But I'll tell you when I'm out there fighting, like, I know it's hard to say that but, I don't really think of anything but winning."
Grant then talked about Henderson's strengths and what he's going to have to be prepared for heading into his title fight with The Champion:
"I think it's just going to be important to be on-point everywhere. I mean, this guy (Henderson) can wrestle with anybody, he's a black-belt in jiu-jitsu now, and um, his striking is on-point and his athleticism and being a southpaw, you have to worry about all of those things. It sounds like a lot of fighters I've ever fought and I'm just looking forward to getting out there and preparing for this fight."

its been a long road since the very first ECC event but its finally time to get the recognition that you so rightfully deserve and on a sidenote of confidence …TJ BEAT THE LAST GUY TO LEGIMATELY BEAT ANDERSON IN HIS FIRST UFC FIGHT..
Hell yeah!… another Canadian Champ!
The Stanley Cup stays in america again this year. That's good that the canadians (small case letters because they are the other north america) have something to cheer about..I hope he doesn't grease up like the other guy.
Typical arrogant american comment… no wonder you guys put Canadian flags on your packs when you travel around the world. If you didn't you probably wouldn't make it back to what you think is the centre of the universe.. the usa.
No wonder when it all goes down you pussies hide behind us like in every conflict in history there ever was. Anytime you want to start backing the other side go ahead……you guys don't contribute shit anyway. You like to live in a free society but couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag….I was content to keep the friendly jousting to the sports realm but now since you took it there why don't you fags get involved instead of hiding behind us…Blackhawks v.s. Bruins another year without the second softer and gentler north America in it…pussies
Learn some history delusional retard… Yeah you guys are so brave bombing innocent women and children with your remote controlled airplanes, all for your precious black gold.. I don't even watch hockey. LOL
One other sasscratch or whatever you fucked up name is. You assholes love coming to America to make that fucking money in your sports. There is enough of you in the states banking that cash. I say take your snobby anti American asses and get the fuck out and go eat snow or ice fish or whatever the fuck you guys do….ha ha
Apparently you forgot about WW2 my narrow minded retard friend.. I'll tell you what we do up here, shoot retarded delusional critters.. you should come up and check it out!
You pussies couldn't fight your way out of anything. You are a perfect example of that. If we kill all these innocent woman and children then sign up and go fight for the other side. That's right that's what I thought…keep hiding that's what you country is good for. Pussy ass mother fuckers making money of somebody else. Your fucking country can't do anything on their own because it's filled with lazy assholes like you….good thing you don't watch hockey because you would be watching the US play your sport better than you. Watch MMA that's the last thing you have …besides yellow snow ha ha
Sounds like I'm dealing with a teenager who got kicked out of history class and sh!t kicked by a Canadian… or maybe raped by one.
Neither asshole …raped by one???well that say's it all. It's confirmed you all are fags or animal fuckers….way to go assquatch great admission…ha ha …fuck up
Hit the nail on the head I see… there's counselling for that sort of thing you know.
That made no sense…..your are done wipe yourself and move on ha ha you are weak. Your comebacks suck and now you aren't even making sense. I guess it makes you proud of your country to say that you are all rapists, or just fucking drunk shit kickers ha ha what a clown …save yourself and quit. Go Canada!!! ha ha
Makes no sense because you're uneducated and in denial. Counselling will help you get over the trauma of having a train ran up your fat @ss shit kid. You more then likely enjoyed it though.. to each there own I guess, whatever floats your homo boat.
Who needs counseling…ha ha what a goof. You are the one completely fascinated by raping and ramming things up peoples asses…oh yeah and shit. Long look in the mirror buddy, well that's just a saying because your ugly low self esteem ass can't take a long look ha ha. Keep raping and ramming you gay mother fucker ha ha what a loser!!! You call me a homo. Between the two of us your the only one saying come to canada and raped and now saying things about ramming things up peoples asses. Great canadian product you are ha ha way to represent LOOOOOOSER
Hey assquatch did you watch the stanley cup finals last night….you know canada's #1 sport? Of course not because it was all American teams playing in it and the playoffs for like the last month you idiot. You sorry fags up there can't even do that anymore. Maybe ass ramming and raping is your #1 canada fag sport….ha ha that's why you post about it all the time. What a joke you are. Yeah your real educated. Try again dickhead. Ha ha ha fucking assquatch go change screen name little girl
LMAO!!… Like I said previously, TOO EASY.. I got two retard rants out of you that time! You should check out how many Canadian players are on those teams, then you might realize just how uneducated and retarded you really are shit kid.
First nobody is ranting just stating facts about what you said…Second I actually watch hockey stupid unlike yourself (which you admitted) and realize how many canadian players play on various teams. Unfortunately for you the Americans now dominate your "so called" sport. The American cities and teams have dominated your sport for along time now…do some reading dummy. As far as being uneducated ha ha go back and read your comments you can't even spell. The bottom line still is that you brag about your country banging people in the ass, and you seem to be the front man and chief representative of that ha ha loooooser. Talk about rants with all your rape and ass banging talk ha ha what a dickhead
First off you are ranting because I've got under your skin and you're mad.. Secondly I've never bragged about my country rapping you just suggested that some Canadian may have kicked the sh!t out of your shorts or pulled them down and had their way with you.. Thirdly you do seem uneducated and possibly a kid because of your grammar and constant swearing.. Lastly you're right I don't watch hockey, I play it retard.. been playing it since I was 7 years old.. and you're wrong about Americans dominating the sport, we still do, just in your country which is nothing to be bragging about. TOO EASY
First of all dummy your grammar is terrible. You know you proof read your last comment several times before posting it. Actually you never got under my skin stupid. I have been laughing at your dumb ass this whole time. It's been entertaining to see some worthless piece of shit spend the time to keep commenting trying to retaliate …you are hilarious. More importantly your country doesn't dominate the sport. Just because you are from canada doesn't mean that you play hockey. Between the two of us I know I'm the one who played. You don't watch because you don't know anything about it. Finally don't get upset because I called you names and insulted you and your territory (that's all it is because you don't ever stand for anything). You did talk about raping people and shoving things in the asses of people ..I didn't . The most hilarious part of your comment is the part about being uneducated and grammar etc. YOU MISSPELLED RAPING!!!!YOU CALLED IT RAPPING HA HA HA ….OK ICE T Hey dork you lose.
You're so f**king stupid and mad you don't even realize the jokes on you… have a look above and tell me who's put the effort into responding with your ranting gibberish paragraphs.Your right it has been entertaining, I could sling sh!t at you all day and you just keep eating it up shit kid! LMFAO!!
I know your mad that's why I'm :). Can't wait to read your next retard rant shit kid!
Rant? you don't even make sense. You are the one ranting here. The moment I mentioned that you are an ass pirate by you own admission, and slammed your sorry pussified country you started on the stupid reply. Oh yeah when I said you are the low self esteem fat belly guy with skinny arms and a hairy back that keeps changing names you really got pissed. So pissed that you called me uneducated and misspelled raping in the process. All I went on to say is that you didn't even spell correctly the word raping ha ha ha while you were blasting my intelligence. BTW canada really doesn't take s stance on anything that's why no other countries bother with you….Nobody else cares about you or wants anything you country has. What a joke you have to be kidding nobody could be as ignorant as you on everything your talking about in your comments on purpose. What a goof….no what a funny guy you are really…….Last again you contradict your self. You called me a little kid because of swearing. Let's see now you have used shit, retard, fucking raping (you said rapping, wow what a dummy) what else. C'mon guy you are looking really bad.
Haha!… Wow you truly are retarded, I can't beleive you took the bait again!.. you wrote a long rant that time shit kid! TOO EASY
Just quit guy. Your canadian. You guys don't fight for anything so quitting is expected for you:)
Hey where did you go Ice T (assquatch) ? Did you quit like the rest of your entire cunt ry? Ha Ha boo hoo you little pussy…….just like I tought
Thought not tought^^^my bad. I almost sounded like I was from canada and can't spell like that little pussy sasquatch. Where you at bro shaving your back aye.
Hahaha!!… Obsess much.. Retarded with OCD.. makes sence now. Keep them coming shit kid!
IT'S OFFICIAL YOU LOSE! Keep them coming shit kid, retard, ocd….wow you got your ass kicked. Thanks for hanging in as long as you did. For a canadian that was pretty good.
Oh I forgot delusional as well.. that was waaay too short.. I'm very disappointed shit kid. Again… TOO EASY
Ok asssquatch I'm not picking on a guy who can't spell, hairy back, and no self esteem. Your originality is gone. THE TOO EASY ONE IS WHAT I USED ON YOU HA HA. It was fun. I wonder what name you will come up on the site under now? Shit kid wow that's a great one keep working . All that time living in your mom's basement with no job should give you the time to look up some stuff.
How you doing today sh!t kid.. I see your still madly ranting about something. Haha! Keep-em coming!
Like taking candy from a @ss raped retard with OCD…. wait a minute…. Hahaha!!
Hey shit @ss raped kid, I see your still trying to remain relevant.. Nice try! LMAO!!
CAPS LOCK aren't going to make your retard rants anymore relevant shit kid… TOO EASY
And the winner is….. Sasquatch!!
Shit Ass Rape Kid….wow you sure do swear allot. According to you that makes people a little kid. I think your language confirms that you are gay and infatuated with raping people , shit, and ass. It's the only comebacks you have. Hey buddy with a name like sasquatch you can never win…..You quit because you can't come up with anything else but rape, ass, and shit…ha ha ….You lost this one assquatch!!!you quit just like all of your country women do…ha ha that's right…women and homos I win

we just submited an app on itunes connect and we had the app rejected.
The problem is that our app is a game using some soccer jersey, they told us that we used some image and name from well known third party.
However take a look at those apps:
http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/total-news-manchester-utd/id397494256?mt=8 http://itunes.apple.com/it/app/manchester-united/id415227491?mt=8
They don't know the name and mark of manchester united!
How can we solve the problem according to you?
Is a legal disclaimer enough or not?
Any suggestions would be appreciate!
Thanks in advance, Andrea

Welcome back to the ever-popular and much beloved VH1 Celebrity Bikini Awards! Yes, it's that time of year again, where we pit your favorite stripped down celebs against one another to see has the most bangin' bikini bod of 2012. Happy summer, folks!
Step back, beach babes: It's time to leave it to the professionals! We can't have a bikini contest without mentioning these lovely ladies who get paid to strut their stuff on runways and beaches around the world. Kate Upton has been shaping up to be the queen of the summer with her reign on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover and her super hot (and patriotic) GQ spread. But she definitely has some rock hard competition in the form of former SI cover girl Brooklyn Decker, not to mention mega-hot model mamas Miranda Kerr, Alessandra Ambrosio, Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes. We'll let Gisele Bundchen join in the fun too, even though she's technically only got half of a bikini. But her husband, Tom Brady, lost the Super Bowl, so we have some sympathy for her. Factor in supermodel legend Naomi Campbell, Victoria's Secret angel Irina Shayk and Italian superhottie Claudia Romani, and you realize that it can be anybody's game.
Check out the gallery below, and cast your vote for the hottest super model bikini bod of 2012. The polls close at 11 p.m. on July 15th!

Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) has announced this morning their fastest mobile version of Google Earth, this time developed for Android mobile users running Android version 2.1. Available through the Google Marketplace, the Android version is said to support both a smooth frame rate as well as a display screen resolution of 800×480 pixels.
Special features that are available in this version include both a roads layer as well as voice recognition. Regarding the road layer, view a digital satellite map for any location and an additional layer detailing road names will transpose itself over top of the map providing value added information. Voice recognition is an technology that Google has been slowly adding to many of their products, most recently seeing its way into Google Shopper. Voice recognition for Google Earth works exactly as it sounds. Say a phrase that describes your point of interest and Google Earth will try and match it. Phrases can be exact such as "Eiffel tower" or they can be a little generic such as "romantic getaway Lake Tahoe."
Some of the familiar features retained in the Android version include the ability to browse pictures, destinations and local businesses and you can customize Google Earth to show the layers that are most important to you.
Currently, Google Earth will function on the Nexus One and most mobile phones running Android 2.1 or newer. Droid users, well you'll have to wait until Motorola finally rolls out an Android upgrade for their customer base.

American Forces Press Service
UTAPAO, Thailand, Jan. 10, 2005 An SH-60 Seahawk helicopter from the USS Abraham Lincoln experienced a hard landing at Banda Aceh airfield in Indonesia this morning.
None of the four crewmembers or six U.S. Navy passengers aboard the helicopter died. Military officials reported there were some injuries, but the extent of those injuries was not immediately known.
However, officials said, those injured were immediately evacuated to the Lincoln for medical treatment.
The helicopter, part of Combined Support Force 536, was picking up supplies for transportation as part of the ongoing humanitarian aid and disaster relief efforts in the southeast region of Asia affected by the Dec. 26 earthquake and tsunami. It was inbound to Banda Aceh when the incident occurred.
The primary mission of the SH-60 Seahawk helicopters in Operation Unified Assistance is to move relief supplies and personnel within the area, officials said.
The Banda Aceh airfield remains open for operations and continued relief efforts. The cause of the incident is under investigation.
(From a Combined Support Force 536 Combined Information Bureau news release.)

Mankvill's End Of Year List Extravaganza!
I'm getting a jump on it this year. This will be a multi-post thread. My final list (it needs one more listen-over for revisions) will be posted last. I'll start with easy stuff and as it gets closer to 2010, the list will eventually finish itself. Feel free to post in between my posts!
I'll start it off easy:
Mankvill's Top 5 "Surprise" Live Bands Of 2009
This is for bands that I didn't necessarily think I would like or that I didn't know of until I saw them live and they made a good impression on me.
The Black Dahlia Murder
July 20th
Omaha, NE
Highlights: Statutory Ape, Elder Misanthropy, Everything Went Black
I've seen this band 4 times now without ever meaning to (?!) and I've actually kind of liked them live. This show was great (it was an off-date of Mayhem Fest headlined by Cannibal Corpse and featuring Behemoth and God Forbid) and TBDM really has quite unmatched live energy. I remember that "Elder Misanthropy" was an immense standout and "Statutory Ape" and "Everything Went Black" were fantastic live. Almost stole the show from Cannibal Corpse. Almost
June 4th
Kansas City, MO
Highlights: Too Much Time On My Hands, Come Sail Away, Renegade
Yes, THAT Styx. I went to this show with my parents. REO Speedwagon headlined, but you'd have no idea if you just went to see Styx. They have so many classic songs that are meant to be sung along with a huge crowd, and although Dennis DeYoung isn't in the band anymore, his replacement does an admirable job of taking over his duties. "Come Sail Away" was the best crowd sing along all year.
Trap Them
July 23rd
Kansas City, MO
Highlights: n/a
Barney from Napalm Death says this band renewed his faith in current heavy music, and he's totally right. Total aggression, this band is MADE for small bar/club shows. Even basement shows. It's impossible not to circle pit to this band. I don't have an exact setlist, but it was all insane.
June 11th
Baltimore, MD
Highlights: The Brain Scrambles, ReaniManiac
Imagine my surprise from flying halfway across the country to see Quo Vadis to have them easily upstaged by a three-piece thrash band! The injection of old school punk with their sound made them so infectious. I bought their album as soon as I could after this show. They're on tour soon, everyone should make it a priority to see Revocation.
Art Brut
November 7th
Lawrence, KS
Highlights: Modern Art, Emily Kane, My Little Brother
"Surprised" doesn't even begin to explain my experience with Art Brut. I won free tickets to this show and my indie snob friend LOVES them. And the opening bands were pretty much indie hipster garbage. But Art Brut completely blew me away. Equal parts The Clash, The Smiths, The Dead Kennedys and Interpol, every single song was high energy and their frontman Eddie Argos is far and away one of the best I've ever seen.
Honorable mentions: Reverend Horton Heat, Priestess, Lamb of God

Report: Global ice melting and sea are on the rise
Posted By Todd B. Bates On November 24, 2009 @ 3:49 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
The melting of the Earth's ice is accelerating and the sea is rising faster than expected, according to a new climate change report [1]by 26 researchers.
Findings of "The Copenhagen Diagnosis, 2009: Updating the World on the Latest Climate Science" include:
– Emissions of carbon dioxide from fossil fuels were nearly 40 percent higher last year than in 1990.
– Recent global temperatures demonstrate human-based warming. Over the past 25 years, temperatures have risen 0.19 degrees Celsius per decade.
– Melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets, along with glaciers and ice caps elsewhere, is accelerating.
– Summertime melting of Arctic sea ice has accelerated far beyond what climate models expected.
– Global average sea-level rise is 80 percent higher than previous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [3]predictions, according to satellite data.
– By 2100, the global sea level is likely to rise at least twice as high as projected by an IPCC working group in a 2007 report. The sea level may rise more than 1 meter (3.3 feet) by 2100 if emissions are not reduced.
– The sea level will keep rising for centuries after global temperatures have been stabilized. A rise of several meters must be expected over the next few centuries.
– Several vulnerable elements of the climate system, such as continental ice sheets, the Amazon rain forest and the West African monsoon, could be pushed toward abrupt or irreversible change if warming continues this century in a business-as-usual way.
– If global warming is to be limited to 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial temperatures, emissions need to peak between 2015 and 2020 and then decline rapidly. To stabilize the climate, emissions of carbon dioxide and other long-lived greenhouse gases need to be reduced to near zero well within this century.
The report, which took a year to produce, documents the key findings in climate change science since the 2007 IPCC report, according to a statement.
It comes two weeks before the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. The event runs from Dec. 7 to 18.
A conference goal is to get developed nations to agree to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2020. Developing nations also reduce must emissions, which should be cut by at least 50 percent overall by 2050, according to a fact sheet.

Barrett Tryon joined the FOX 4 News team in December 2012. You can see him weeknights on FOX 4 News at 9 and 10.
He began his broadcasting career in the early 80s, although not many people saw those first newscasts live from his parents' back porch in Sarasota, Fla.
Fast forward a few years, and Barrett attended college at Drake University in Des Moines, while also working for KCCI-TV. He would later work at CBS News and Fox News Channel, both in New York City, a brief stint in Los Angeles chasing around celebrities, followed by a few years in the Rockies at KRDO-TV in Colorado Springs.
He was lucky enough to win an Emmy for "Best Newscast" and was voted "Best Twitterer" for 3 years in a row in Colorado Springs by readers of the Colorado Springs Independent and Colorado Springs Gazette. Luckily, he found a job in TV news that pays him to tweet.
He's interested in your story ideas, especially if it involves trending stories, tech or if you've got breaking news to share. Send him a tweet (by using the link below his photo.)
When he's not online, which is never, he's probably chasing around his two pups, Cooper & Bentley, googling "Barrett Tryon" or combing his hair.


text: Well, the game works perfectly fine in single-player mode for me, but, I'm having trouble accessing the Zombie and Multiplayer modes. Now, I am fully aware of the solutions to my problem posted on the first page of this thread; however, I'm a bit confused. I downloaded the ciosx_rev20 installer from a link posted here. I know that will install cios38 rev 20b. I keep seeing cIOS 250 [57], however. I have cios38 rev 17 and I don't want to update just yet. Will the ciosx_rev20b installer do the same thing as downloading the cISO 250 [57] wad and installing it with WAD Manager? These two have somewhat confused me. Thanks in advance.

Leading up to next week's MLB Draft, Sporting News will feature profiles of some of this year's top prospects.
Henry Owens, LHP
At 6-7 and lefthanded, Henry Owens is an intimidating sight for high school hitters. And the results proved that.
As a senior at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., Owens was dominant against his teenage opponents. He struck out 140 batters in 91 2/3 innings and allowed just 45 hits.
Now, as he projects as a first-round pick in Monday's Major League Baseball Draft, it is making the step to the next level that has his high school coach upbeat about his southpaw's future.
"I've been coaching for 16 years and not only have I not had a better high school pitcher, and I've coached against a lot of good pitchers being from Southern California, and he's the best high school pitcher I've ever seen," Edison coach Steve Lambright told Sporting News. "When he's locked in, he can flat-out dominate a baseball game."
Lambright has witnessed Owens' progression. He has coached Owens for four years and watched him go from a thrower who walked as many batters as he struck out to someone who attracted dozens of scouts every time he took the mound.
At about 200 pounds, Owens only will get better with the right program, according to Lambright.
"The difficult part of being in high school is we don't have the resources to have a nutritionist and weight trainers and everything else," Lambright said. "I think when he gets that at the pro level, that's where he's going to put on about 15 pounds and that's going to add to his fastball and make all of his pitches better. He's got to fill out a little bit. He's 6-7, about 200 and I think (when) he gets about 215—around there—the progression and his stamina and his strength is going to be enhanced by getting in that kind of program. That's what I'm hearing from the scouts. There's a lot of upside on him in terms of the projection in what they see in him."
Edison's season ended on a sour note. Owens surrendered four hits—not much, but a lot against him—and his team's season ended with a 3-1 playoff loss. But now, it is on to Monday's draft and Lambright is excited about it.
"I've heard he's a potential first-round draft pick and it would be neat, as his coach—I've been coaching him for four years—to say, 'Hey, I had a first-round draft pick come through my program,' " Lambright told Sporting News. "I might coach for six or seven more years and never come close to it. Don't think for a moment I'm not cherishing it as well. It's pretty cool."
