In a major legal rebuke to the Bush administration's assertive and often secretive handling of the war on terror, a federal judge in Michigan ordered the administration to immediately cease operation of its warrantless domestic surveillance program.
The decision by Judge Anna Diggs Taylor of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan, which comes in a lawsuit filed in January, will not be enforced until after a hearing on Sept. 7, when the federal government will have a chance to argue before the judge against today's decision.
Taylor refuted the government argument that the case be dismissed because a public defense of the program in court could jeopardize its efficacy as a tool in the war on terror.
"It was never the intent of the framers to give the president such unfettered control," she wrote in the opinion, "particularly where his actions blatantly disregard the parameters clearly enumerated in the Bill of Rights. The three separate branches of government were developed as a check and balance for one another."
Even if Taylor rules after the Sept. 7 hearing that the injunction should stand and the program should be shut down, further appeals from the government seem a foregone conclusion.
Still, the plaintiffs in the lawsuit, which include the American Civil Liberties Union, several journalists, and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, said they feared the government was monitoring their communications without a warrant.
"Today's ruling is a landmark victory against the abuse of power that has become the hallmark of the Bush administration," ACLU executive director Anthony D. Romero said. "Government spying on innocent Americans without any kind of warrant and without congressional approval runs counter to the very foundations of our democracy. We hope that Congress follows the lead of the court and demands that the president adhere to the rule of law."
Advocates of the program, both in Congress and inside the administration, said immediately that the ruling would weaken the United States in the war on terror.
White House Press Secretary Tony Snow said in a written statement that the administration "could not disagree with this ruling more."
Snow also invoked the recent foiling by British and Pakistani authorities of an alleged plot to blow up planes flying from England to the United States, though he did not say whether the domestic surveillance program yielded information used in the investigation.
The injunction is the first decisive action by the federal court system against the warrantless domestic spying program since press reports of the program, which were leaked to the New York Times, were published late in 2005.
In a 44-page decision, Taylor ruled that the terror surveillance program, as described by the White House and administration, violates both the Constitution and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978.
Taylor disagreed with the Bush administration's argument that Congress had implicitly authorized the program when it authorized the use of force in executing the war on terror.
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, at a press conference in Washington, defended the program as a vital part of the daily fight against terror. He said it is firmly rooted in established law and has been vetted on a regular, ongoing basis by lawyers both in the administration and at the National Security Agency, though not by outside attorneys.

August 3, 2015
Last year was a weak one for the economy, but it likely ended on a hopeful note.
A survey by FactSet says the economy likely grew at an annual rate of 3 percent in the October-December quarter. The gain would represent modest improvement from this summer, when the economy grew just 1.8 percent. But even with the strong finish, economists believe the economy expanded just 1.7 percent for the whole year.
The Commerce Department will release the actual fourth-quarter figure later this morning.
Growth is expected to slow in the first three months of this year. A key reason is wages have failed to keep pace with inflation. That likely will force many consumers to pull back on spending after splurging over the holidays.
Consumer spending is important because it makes up 70 percent of economic activity.
Businesses are also expected to reduce spending in the first quarter after building up their stockpiles in the final months of 2011.

The political history of Nigeria would be incomplete, if the name, Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo is omitted; this son of Otta village, who was born on the 5th day of March 1937; some sixty-nine (69) years ago in Abeokuta Ogun state, is indeed among the luckier of the luckiest Nigerians, but somehow a ŌĆśstar-crossed' president, Nigeria got so far. He came to power twice, impromptu; after the sudden and unexpected death of a previous Head Of State, on 13th February 1976, when General Murtala lost his life in a botched bloody military coup d'├®tat, and in 1999, when Gen. Abacha sudden death on 8th June 1998 paved the way for democracy in Nigeria.
If current trends in Nigeria as they are now, especially in the economy, politics and the much celebrated anti corruption war; continue unchanged, the post Obasanjo Nigerian polity would be interesting to ordinary Nigerians; a banana peels to president Obasanjo, and a painstaking moment to Nigeria's next president if it happens that our next president is a true democrat, but if it happens that our next president is a pseudo- democrat; he or she will stuck on to the current scenarios: arbitrary use of state machinery and resources, selective execution of the anti corruption war, lordly use of power and those in authority closing their eyes to due process, principles of true federalism, and accommodation of opposing views especially when situations does not favor them.
Taking into account what had happened in many countries after a change of regime despite the fact, that retiring presidents tried as much as they could, and installed a surrogate as their successor, but in the long-run, things didn't went as they expected it ŌĆō for example: late Ahmadu Ahijo of Cameroun Republic did much to influenced the materialization of Paul Biya as Cameroun's president , but in the end, Ahijo had to flee into exile, until today, Ahijo's corpse is still in exile in Saudi Arabia, Fredrick Chiluba circumvented due-process to facilitate the emergence of his political ally Levy Mwanawasa to become the president of Zambia, but Chiluba didn't escaped trial on corruption charges ; president Obasanjo himself is an example, all those that worked to see his emergence as president of Nigeria are today in worlds-apart with the president, from IBB, Atiku, the founding members of the PDP, so in view of such cases, post Obasanjo Nigeria would not only be a catch-22 situation to organs like EFCC, PDP, and some politicians but to president Obasanjo himself, regardless of who become the next president of Nigeria; though if our next president is a make-believe democrat, this entails that, ordinary Nigerian would witness more of what is currently happening in Nigeria, where ups are downs, and wrongs are rights; political power would be the greatest ŌĆśsmoke gun' to be used by the ruling class to achieved anything they wish, where their armories would be two very poles apart matters, anti-corruption war and state resources.
The economic and financial crime commission (EFCC) is the best thing that had happened in the present Nigeria, but it is regrettable to see the organ turning completely into an instrument of crushing, blackmailing and down-grading perceived political opponents of those in authority, the post Obasanjo Nigeria would a very difficult moment for the EFCC regardless of the type of president Nigeria would have; if our next president is a complete democrat, the EFFC would be constraint to swallow its ŌĆśvomits', because the commission would be compel to respect due process and rule of law, thus, those that the commission painted as Saints during the Obasanjo tenure, the commission have to repaint them. The most interesting thing that would happen to the EFFC would be if our next president happens to be a make-believe democrat; in this case, the commission would finally turn into an instrument of politicking by those in authority; and it is unfortunate to note that, Obasanjo administration's anti-corruption war has gradually been reduced to politics, and it would be a Herculean task to prevent undemocratic politicians from doing same; for the reason that, when such people are confronted on this, their simple reaction would be: "even during the regime of ŌĆśFather Of Modern Nigeria' these are the complains". And with current world politics, the support of international community would be easily obtain; once a government pledge to be an ally, then and a blind eye will be cast on their illegalities at home.
The next Nigerian president will certainly inherit a presidency that is demeaned in the eyes of the public, but a presidency that possess utmost political clout; an office that can direct, matched-on and punish anybody without any apprehension, and when the president is with you, you can do and undo - it was widely reported recently that a serving minister in the Obasanjo government brazenly challenged a sitting vice president of Nigeria; although this is part of the consequence of president Obasanjo overbearing ruling style.
Nigerians will not cherish a president that would preoccupied his management of Nigeria's affairs in dealing with events of the past rather than putting down plans for future growth of the nation, but Nigeria's next president have to face the challenges of a nation with large population but less productivity, where Unemployment remains desperately high, and agricultural sector has been decimated over the years, and estimated 70% of Nigerians live below the United Nations-defined poverty line, our next president have to look for a way to reformed obasanjo's voluminous orthodox reforms programmes that is crammed with relabeled, renamed and a re-produced of the usual international financial agencies economic pills imposed on African nations; which are at pole-apart with needs of ordinary masses.
While by mid-day of 29th May 2007, president Obasanjo will be on his way to meet his chickens and pigs at his Otta farm, Nigeria's next government will be face with a demeaned political position at all levels of government, conflict between the interest of state and that of a regime, a limping advancement to a prosperous, peaceful, just, democratic, valued and multi- dimensional secular nation.

Ben, have you seen my hair? Oh, wait. It's on your face.
Ah, the old crew riding together again. Are they going to pick up Minnie Driver and Kevin Smith and make some more awesome movies?
"Matt, quick, I told Jen we were gonna go shoot American History X 2, so we gotta be back from the strip club by 5…."
Trying to steal a car, looks like.

Whew…for a second there, I thought that was a picture of Jon Hamm whipping it out!

What was that noise?

Watch out for rogue punches in the eye.

Don't ask. Don't tell.
That reminds me… I've been meaning to watch Team America again.
"Didn't we park over there?"

At least no one saw them coming out of that bath house.

Today, he brought a very real warning as his keynote to the 12th Australian national Linux conference in Brisbane: the IPv4 address space will be exhausted in a few weeks and there is no workable replacement in place.
Huston, chief scientist at the Asia Pacific Network Information Centre, is a jovial bloke and hardly looks like a doomsday prophet. But he backed his warning with data - in fact, more of it than needed - to convince even the most sceptical that there is no way out.
And beyond the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space, Huston also warned that it risked making the internet address lose its open character.
As soon as IPv4 addresses are exhausted, the cost of obtaining a real one - Australian ISPs always charge extra for a static IP - would rise and those who had addresses which were not advertised (about 20 percent of the total) could create a market in them, he pointed out.
Huston said that the use of TCP/IP had grown due to its openness. Growth, however, has been far beyond anyone's imagination; 189.6 million addresses were handed out in 2009 and 248.8 million in 2010.
And despite the theory that there would be a gradual migration to IPv6, this hasn't happened; only 0.3 percent of those on the net run IPv6.
"The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) will run out of addresses in February. And the first date for a regional internet registry to exhaust its addresses is July 2012," Huston said.

As Coordinator of the Civic Engagement Office's Praxis III program from 2010-2014, Jessica Lee helped Bryn Mawr students match their interests with the needs of the community to create internships that provided useful and compelling experiences. "The Praxis III Program is an excellent opportunity for students to chart their own course and to engage with communities in the Greater Philadelphia area," Jessica says. "It enables students to gain entirely new skill sets and to explore their talents and interests."
As a Ph.D. candidate at Bryn Mawr College Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research, Jessica's own interests are diverse and involve immigrant and refugee health care, global public health, social policy, and research ethics. Her dissertation is a qualitative study titled, "Health Care Utilization among Bhutanese Refugee Adults: Exploring Culture, Access, and Needs." But like the students she works with in Praxis, Jessica does not limit herself to only academic pursuits. In 2013, Jessica received the Turning Point Prize, awarded by Women for Social Innovation. With this funding, Jessica is piloting a community-based participatory textile program with the Burmese refugee community in collaboration with Nationalities Service Center. This project is expanding into the Philadelphia Refugee Textile Initiative, which will work in collaboration with Philadelphia Mural Arts, Philadelphia Refugee Mental Health Collaborative, and MADE Studio.
By going out into the community, students in the Praxis program are able to make connections between their classroom experiences and the "real world." "I think the most meaningful aspect of the Praxis III Program are the relationships that students get to build-- relationships with mentors, colleagues, and individuals in professional and community settings, relationships with a faculty advisor, relationships with other students in the Praxis III cohort, etc." Jessica says. "The Reflection dinners are incredibly enjoyable and the culminating Praxis III Poster Session allows students to step up as scholars and engaged community members."
Read more about Praxis here, or attend Jessica's final Information Session for the year on Tuesday, April 1st.

Video:Profile of the Ghost of Boothill Cemeterywith The Lewis
The Ghost of Boothill Graveyard is a ghost story born out of the legendary Old West. Watch this About.com video to learn more about The Ghost of Boothill Graveyard and how it appeared it one eerie photograph.See Transcript
Transcript:Profile of the Ghost of Boothill Cemetery
If you spend any time at Boothill Graveyard, originally Tombstone Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona, be careful where you step. If you don't, you could bump into a visitor from the afterlife. Hello. I'm Thea Lewis of Queen City Ghostwalk for About.com, and today I'm going to tell you the story of the Ghost of Boothill Graveyard.
The Ghost of Boothill Graveyard Appeared in a Photo
The Ghost of Boothill Graveyard is yet another example of a ghost that was first seen in a photograph. A guy named Terry Clanton was asked by a friend to go to Boothill Graveyard and take his photo wearing western garb. He and Terry went out to the cemetery in the early morning hours and Terry says that there were no other people there. They took the photograph, and after having it developed at a local drugstore, they discovered something very strange. Behind Terry's friend, there was another image: the image of a man wearing a dark hat and holding a very large knife.
The Old West is Known for Ghost Legends
Like some of the Civil War ghosts spotted at Gettysburg we think that this apparition appears at the cemetery again and again because of a traumatic event. Let's face it, when you're talking about the Old West, Tombstone was one of the wildest and wooliest places around. So it's not unusual to think that some kind of deadly skirmish occurred at the Boothill Graveyard.
The photo of the apparition at Boothill Graveyard has been examined by experts the world over and so far, it has never been proven to be a fake. Thanks for watching. For more information on ghosts and the paranormal, visit us on the web at About.com.

Full detailed profile on Langston Wilde Played by Brittany Underwood on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Brittany Underwood
Birthday: July 6 1988
Langston finds Kelly in Dorian's bedroom and complains about Ford. She's shocked that Kelly knew about Ford and Jessica. Langston admits that Ford is teaching her class. She has no idea how to deal with her feelings for Ford. Kelly suggests, "Don't get mad, get even."
Langston arrives at Ford's apartment and takes him into a kiss. She's been thinking and has agreed to give him another chance. Ford wants that too. Langston's happy he's not teaching her class. They can get back on track. Ford breaks the news that he took back his duties. He's going to be her professor but suggests they keep their relationship quiet. Langston agrees and brushes Ford off when he asks her to stay. She asks him again if he's sure him being her teacher isn't going to be a problem. Ford promises then accepts one more hot kiss before Langston leaves. Once Ford closes the door, Langston takes the camcorder out of hiding and watches the recording of her and Ford kissing!
Outside Starr leaves a message for Cole to call her. Langston appears. Talk of Ford comes up and Langston admits what he did to Jessica. Starr is shocked that Ford could be the father of Jessica's baby. Langston wants nothing more to do with Ford and asks Starr about Cole. Starr admits James is coming between them. Langston suggests that Starr and Cole think back to how it felt when they first fell in love. Maybe it'll bring everything into perspective. Later, Cole appears and asks Starr to go for coffee. She agrees, takes his hand and leaves. Langston looks at her schedule and scratches out Ford's name.
Brody attacks Ford at Llanview U. Langston screams for Brody to stop then calls for security. A guard pulls Brody off Ford and threatens to call the cops. Brody throws his badge at him and tells Langston Ford had sex with Jessica on prom night. "I made a mistake," Ford screams at Brody. "Haven't you ever made a mistake?" Langston is sickened by Ford's actions. Brody threatens to haul Ford in on statutory rape charges. Ford assures Brody the sex was consensual. Langston realizes that Ford could be the father of Jessica's baby. Brody grabs Ford's face. Ford apologizes and assures Brody he and Jessica are going to be happy with their baby. Brody admits the only reason he's not killing Ford is because of Jessica then leaves. Ford pleads his case to Langston who accuses him of punishing the entire female race because his mommy walked out on him. She walks out on Ford.
Langston is having trouble finding a class at Llanview U. Ford appears, offers to show Langston the way and says, "I hope you brought me a shiny red apple." Langston only brought him the university's fraternization rules! She stomps off.
Langston finds Ford by a vending machine and demands to know why he dropped the class. He shows her the fraternization policy. If he's not her teacher they can be together. Langston wants nothing to do with him. Ford vows to get her back and even offers to go to therapy! He shows Langston his appointment card with Marty. He thinks those who've said he has issues might be on to something. Ford wants to fix his issues for Langston. Suddenly, Brody appears and punches Ford to the floor!
Langston pulls away from Ford's kiss at Llanview U and asks, "What am I doing?" Ford agrees they shouldn't be seen together at college and suggests they go back to his place! Langston doesn't think he's changed and refuses to give him another chance. Ford pleads with Langston and opens up about his family. He wants to be a better man. Langston admits it sounds great but reminds Ford he recently jumped in the sac with someone who could've given him a STD! "You're the only one I want," Ford admits. He'll do whatever it takes to get Langston back. She refuses to drop Ford's class and says, "Wait all you want." Langston walks away with Ford calling after her.
Back at Llanview U Ford explains Eli's threats to Langston. She doesn't believe his sob story or that he cares about her. She claims the person Ford is describing isn't him, it's James. Ford admits he found out about Eli's past and blackmailed him. Langston can't believe Ford let Eli run around town knowing he was a killer. Ford only wanted to find a way to rescue his brother and admits it killed him to see her with James. Langston doesn't know what to believe. Ford knows Langston deserves the best. He doesn't know how to give it but says, "I want to learn." Ford wants her back and vows to do anything to prove he can be trusted. "Like what?" Langston asks. Ford takes her in a kiss!
Over at Llanview University Langston and Starr find out that Ford's teaching their writing class and that James plans to attend too. Starr and Langston refuse to take the class. James offers to drop out. Ford reminds everyone that there's only one writing class that's required and it's his. Starr and James agree to coexist at school. Just as Langston informs James she can't see him anymore Cole appears and goes after Ford for knowing about Eli, which hurt Hannah. Starr wants to call Blair but Cole stops her and says, "John's handling it." Starr is furious that Cole knew about Eli and allowed Blair to run off with him! While they argue Ford admits to Langston that Eli threatened to hurt her too. That's another reason why he went along with Eli. Across the room Gigi worries about her book expenses then spots a flyer that could help. James peers over her shoulder and reads about the grant. James' attention turns to Starr who runs from Cole in a fury.
Starr and Langston arrive at Llanview U. Over talk of David and Dorian Langston can't help wonder if there's more to the story surrounding David's departure. Starr reminds her that David's a con-artist. "Maybe someone didn't want Dorian to get married," Langston suggests. Maybe it was one of David's enemies. Talk turns to James. Langston cares about Starr too much and isn't going to see James anymore. Starr denies having feelings for James and still considers Cole to be her soulmate. Starr wants no one else. They get their schedules and Langston convinces Starr to take a writing course with her. Later, they're shocked to see Ford who admits he's teaching the writing class!

Gargi Saha
Her eyes concerned,
Her smile soothing,
Her touch caring,
Her heart kind
Her presence comforting;
Her ambition service,
Her speech, love
Her prayer, peace
Her scripture simplicity and tranquility.
Her hymn shelter, holiness and purity.
Her meditation humility, gaiety and generosity.
Her fruit of silence was prayer,
Her fruit of prayer was faith,
Her fruit of faith was love,
Her fruit of love was service
Her fruit of service was peace.
Countless mothers are there in this world,
But who like her shines like gold?
She was an angel to humanity, a blessing and a boon.
Words are too less to describe a human like her
She was to the poor, sick. downtrodden,
Orphans and destitute a saviour.
Her name will be written in God's book with gold,
Her immortal, spotless soul shall never be old.

From D&S collective member Amy Benjamin:
The gender gap in pay is as persistent as ever, according to an article in Sunday's New York Times (Freud couldn't have written a better title: "Why Is Her Paycheck Smaller?"). On the whole, women across all income levels experience pay gaps with their male professional counterparts. What are the reasons? According to the Times,
Economists believe that discrimination as well as personal choices within occupations are two major factors. They also attribute part of the gap to men having more experience and logging more hours.
Really? What is meant by "personal choices", anyway? The blog Feminist Philosophers points out the vague answers provided by the NY Times,
We don't know what "men having more years of experience" is supposed to consist in. Are the average ages higher for the men? Or is it independent of the fact that in many fields woman are relative newcomers? And the logging more hours: Are they suggesting that men worked longer days, or are they thinking that women tend to take off more time? Or what? Are we seeing the ramifications of an inequality of responsibility for the home? Is pregnancy a significant problem? (Duh.) What's going on if having a baby can cost you 20 to 40% of your salary? Doesn't think look like more than an individual's problem resulting from "personal choices"?
Another feminist blog, Jezebel, also argues that the Times gets it wrong:
If you're not catching it, "personal choices" is code for "entering and leaving the work force for children" and "logging more hours" isn't the same as having more experience, it's "not taking time off for your kids." Of course, those of us who have actually—as single, childless women—logged more hours, had more experience and never left the work force and yet still somehow magically experienced pay discrimination, well, we're obvious outliers.
The "personal choices" excuse–code for childrearing–has long been seen as a dangerous, and false, argument. On the surface, it fails to account for persistence of the wage gap across the diversity of womens' experiences and levels of competencies. More importantly, it waters down the realities of structural sexism and heterosexism that result in workplace discriminations, including but not limited to wage inequity.
In times of recession, women suffer more from the wage gap and greater rates of unemployment, as an article in the Nov/Dec issue of D&S pointed out. Salon.com has also pointed out recently that feminists need to weigh in on the recession and its effects on women. Conversations about unequal pay must be conversations about discrimination based on gender, race, and class.

PLATTSBURGH - Businesses from across the region will come together once again as the Plattsburgh-North Country Chamber of Commerce hosts its annual Business Expo.
The event, now in its 22nd year, will return to the Plattsburgh State Field House on Rugar Street next Thursday, May 20.
Chamber of commerce executive vice president Jody A. Parks said the expo brings together businesses from "just about every sector of the business community." Businesses like Northern Insuring, CVPH Medical Center, and Rulf's
Orchard, are among those that return to the event year after year, joining businesses new to the expo like Wooden Ski and Wheel, WELCare Family and Sports Chiropractic, Off the Field Sports and Greer Cicarelli Photography, among others.
"There is no other time of year you're going to have this many businesspeople under one roof for one day," said Parks. "[The expo] includes just about everything you can possibly imagine."
The expo has come a long way from when it was started, said Parks, then only hosting about 25 booths. That number has more than quadrupled in size and is something Parks attributes to how people have come to value it as "one of the greatest networking opportunities in the area."
"Every year it got a little bit bigger and a little bit better and here we are today, 22 years later, with 186 booths on the floor," said Parks. "It's something people look forward to every year."
One of the fundamental objectives of the expo is to encourage people to do business at the local level and meet the people they do business with face to face, said Parks.
"As you walk through the show, you're going to find things you didn't even know we offered here in Plattsburgh," said Parks. "It's nice to see what these companies have and what they do so you kind of remember what they're all about ... It's good to know what's going on in our community."

Every week, through Thicke and thin, the VH1 Blog will take a skewed look at the latest Billboard album charts. From Idol oversights to an indie surprise, here's how last week's sales shook out. (Click here for the complete Billboard 200 charts.)
- Way to Call It, Simon, Paula and Randy: Eleven weeks after release, Taylor Hicks' self-titled debut is the 138th best selling CD in the country. And after 14 weeks, Daughtry's self-titled jobbie is snuggled at No. 2. Good call, guys.
- Number of the Beast, Girl: Robin Thicke's chart position over the last three weeks? 6, 6 and 6 (which might explain his album's sales peaking some 16 months after its release).
- Indie Shock, Pt. 3: After surprising debuts by the Shins and Bloc Party, far-out instrumentalists (no, really) Explosions in the Sky debuted at No. 76, one spot below Diddy and one spot above Jill Scott. Let's hear it for lyric-less psychedelia!
- Chart Neighbors You'd Least Expect to See Partying Together: Diddy (75), Explosions in the Sky (76) and Jill Scott (77)
- Chart Neighbors You'd Most Like to See Partying Together: Frank Sinatra (148), T.I. (149) and Tool (150)

First Community Bank Lobo Fan Fest Information
Detailed Game Day Parking Map in PDF Format
Overnight RV Parking Pass Order Form
There will be a few changes at the University of New Mexico home football games in 2009, the most noteworthy being the closure of a stretch of University Blvd., the day of the game. Most of the changes, which were precipitated by the ongoing renovations at The Pit, are for the benefit of the fans and the environment.
Closing University Blvd. on Game Day
University Blvd. from Cesar Chavez south to the south entrance of the Zia Lot will be closed on gameday. In order to create a pedestrian zone, the street will be blocked off on Saturday morning until the parking lots are clear after the game.
The First Community Bank Lobo Fan Fest and the Rocky Mountain RV Overnight Tailgate Lot will move to the Vista Lot, which is located at the southwest corner of University and Cesar Chavez Blvds.
"We want to create a pedestrian and fan friendly safe zone between the Pit and University Stadium," said UNM Vice-President for Athletics Paul Krebs. "The First Community Bank Lobo Fan Fest and Rocky Mountain RV Overnight Tailgate Lot will be more visible and accessible for fans."
Parking / Traffic Flow
To encourage fans to ride together, there will a parking charge of $5 per car; however, it's free to vehicles with 4 or more passengers. Approximately 1,000 parking spots - or 19% of the total available surrounding the stadium - have been lost due to construction at The Pit.
Traffic flow patterns will be more structured before and after games, providing safer, easier and quicker access
Additional security will be in the parking lots to ensure organization and safety
Due to the premium being placed on individual parking places, fans will not be able to block off or save multiple parking spaces for other vehicles. However, fans can purchase an extra pass for a tent, grill, etc.
The New Mexico Rail Runner will have special game day options and ABQ Ride's "Park `N Howl" will continue to provide shuttle service from Lot T at the southwest corner of Lomas and University
"With the Pit construction, we are losing a significant percentage of parking spaces so effective use of the remaining spaces becomes very important," said Krebs. "The revenue we generate from parking will be used to improve the lighting and condition of the parking lots.

We hate to say we told you so, but… we told you so! All year we've been bringing you the best new music so you can stay aurally informed, and if you've been doing your homework and keeping abreast of the hottest new acts with us, you'll notice more than a few of our amazing You Oughta Know artists on the 2012 Grammy Nominees list. We made our predictions for nominees for Song of the Year and Record of the Year, Best New Artist, and Album of the Year yesterday, and now we're pretty excited to see some of the artists that we've introduced to you succeeding so decisively in their different genres. Here's a little recap of the members of the VH1 family that were awarded Grammy nominations last night:
As we predicted, Adele was a shoo-in for a fistful of nominations, given that her fandom is almost universal and that she's widely regarded by the industry as seminal in the singer/songwriter field. "Rolling In The Deep" scored nominations for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Short Form Music Video, while "Someone Like You" was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance. Adele's album, 21, was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album. You can check out Adele exclusively answering 5 intimate questions for VH1's You Oughta Know here.
We'd catch a grenade for Bruno Mars, although we hope we'll never have to! The intergalactic artist picked up six nominations, with his song "Grenade" nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. His album, Do-Wops & Hooligans was nominated for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album, and Mars was also nominated for Producer Of The Year (Non-Classical). We've been getting sentimental and watching our archive of videos from Mars' days as VH1's You Oughta Know featured artist, including this live performance of "Dr. Feel Good" with Travie McCoy.
Mumford & Sons impressed us when they performed "The Cave" live for VH1 Unplugged, and now we're proud to see the uplifting, sentimental hit nominated for Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song.
It's almost as though we never didn't know Foster The People. Their breakaway hit, "Pumped Up Kicks" had us dancing all summer after they played it live at our New York offices, and now the track has been nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Torches was also nominated for Best Alternative Music Album.
We've fallen in love with The Civil Wars and are glad the Grammys have too, giving the haunting folk duo nominations for Best Country Duo/Group Performance ("Barton Hollow") and Best Folk Album (Barton Hollow). The song is divine live, and a well deserved nod for the pair.
Grace Potter of Grace Potter & The Nocturnals joined Kenny Chesney to provide vocals for "You and Tequila" and the pair have been nominated for the Best Country Duo/Group Performance (the song has also received a nomination for Best Country Song). Have a look at your 5 questions with Grace here!

Growing number of married couples met onlineWritten by Jay Hathaway | | email@example.com
Anyone who has ever braved the dating scene can testify that a lack of compatible mates seems to simply be part of the game. With the exception of those rare, love-at-first-sight, it-was-just-meant-to-be scenarios, matching up with one's ideal counterpart can be a challenge. It's no wonder, then, that online dating would eventually catch on.
But just how much may come as a surprise.
About 35 percent of couples married between 2005-12 met online, according to a recent Forbes article, citing a survey led by John T. Cacioppo of the University of Chicago. That's a staggering number, considering that online dating was until recently considered a bit taboo.
Angi, a former Toledoan who prefers her last name unpublished for professional reasons, moved to Columbia, Mo., to attend graduate school in 2006. However, she found herself in a tough spot for trying to date in an unfamiliar locale.
"I was crazy busy with grad school and hadn't met very many 'good' guys in Columbia," she said. "I had gotten in a car accident. I was on serious pain meds and found that I couldn't study once I got home from classes and work. So I created an online dating profile on Match.com to give me something to do."
Eventually, she crossed cyber-paths with the man who would become her husband.
"I 'winked' at him on the site, [but] it didn't match us. He sent me a message and we sent emails back and forth for a couple of weeks before our first date. Interestingly enough, we didn't talk on the phone except the day of the date to make arrangements."
Long story short, dating went well and they lived happily ever after. But Angi said a momentary lapse in confidence almost stopped things before they began.
"We both almost canceled that day. It's quite funny for me now looking back on it."
Online dating has some advantages over more traditional means, Angi said.
"It provided a convenience I wouldn't have had otherwise. I didn't have time to go out and meet people. I also didn't want to date the 25-year-old law student I met at a bar. I could chat a safe distance away from people before I decided whether I wanted to meet them in person."
For some, the option to choose someone who shares a similar spirituality or worldview is of high importance. Alyssa Stanton of Monroe, utilized ChristianMingle.com to meet her fiancé, Ethan Hatt.
"To be honest, I just wanted to network a little and try something new," Stanton said. "I felt like I had a pretty good idea of what kind of guys were in my area already, and I wanted to see if there was someone more compatible with me."
In Stanton's case, things moved along quickly. She had only been registered with the dating site for three days before she met Hatt.
"We began emailing, and then became friends on Facebook," she said. "[That] turned into hours-long Skype sessions. Our first date was about 10 days after we started talking."
Tanner Myerholtz and Leandra Espen of Oak Harbor also met online, and are now engaged to be married — although both had to go through a bit of trial and error to find each other.
"We both met a few crazies before we found each other," Myerholtz said. "I met a couple [girls] whose pictures were lies, and one of them turned out to be a blackout drunk."
"I met a few who just wanted to be friends, which is weird," Espen added.
Myerholtz summarized the process of how he finally met Espen.
"We met each other's criteria, so I messaged her, and she messaged me back, and that was the beginning of the end."
He added that, while he was excited and a little nervous about meeting Espen in person, he did not want to make any lavish plans, having learned his lesson from previous dates.
"I didn't plan anything," he said. "I planned dinner, and that's it. But we ended up hitting it off."
Like most online dating encounters, their first meeting took place in a public place. For the second date, Myerholtz picked up Espen at her home for a proper date.
"We ended up going to dinner and a movie, followed by quite a few dates after that," Myerholtz said.
The couple agreed that among the advantages of online dating, simplicity is one of the more appealing aspects.
"It just makes it easier," Espen said. "I think that people know what they want when they're ready to settle down."
Settling down was something that Leah Myers of Genoa knew she wanted right after high school. However, when she decided to give online dating a try, it was 2003 and had not yet risen to mainstream use.
"Back [then], it had kind of the stigma as the kind of place you went as a last resort," she said. "I wanted a partner, somebody who was going to be a really supportive person. Even though I was young, it was something I knew that I wanted."
Leah explained she had dated "a few guys" to no avail. A friend suggested they both sign up at what was then a new website, Cupid.com.
A decade later, Leah has now been married to James, the man she was eventually matched with, for nine years. Their story is a promising testimony for online daters — even though Leah initially paid little mind to her husband's profile.
"He looked like a nerd in his picture," she said. "I didn't even look at his profile. I looked at his picture, and I just thought, 'No, I'm not interested.' But I looked at his profile a couple weeks later, and he described himself as everything I'd been looking for, so I decided to initiate contact."
The pair began exchanging emails, but it was six weeks before they met in person for a date.
"I was nervous, in the sense that it was this first date with a girl I really liked," James said. "[But] we had spent several weeks getting to know each other through emails and phone conversations, so I felt comfortable with the connection we'd already made."
"We actually had exchanged emails for so long before we met in person that I felt like I had known him for years by then," Leah added. "We had so much in common, and we actually had some mutual friends, so I really wasn't nervous when it came to actually meeting him in person."
James and Leah emphasized that freedom of choice is likely why online dating has become so popular today.
"There is a community of people waiting until they're older to get married, or relocating to different areas," Leah said. "It takes a little bit of the guessing game out of dating."
She added that the website intuitively knew exactly what she was looking for in James.
"I couldn't have picked him better myself."

It's been a very busy couple of weeks for Terry Richardson! The celeb photographer spent the last few days snapping his friend Lady Gaga in concert, getting banned by youtube for his super hot video of a bikini-clad Kate Upton, and now he's getting some QT with Rihanna in, too. How does he do it!? We're not only impressed with his ability to keep a packed scheduled, but also how he manages to get the biggest and hottest ladies in showbiz up to his apartment. We've gotta be missing something.
The singer stopped by Terry's studio to apparently stress-test her newest pair of micro short-shorts. Maybe she's prepping them for her appearance on the American Idol finale on May 23rd! Riri is just one of many stars who are set to perform on the show, but the rest haven't been announced yet. We'll let you know as soon as we hear! In the meantime, head down to the gallery below for your semi-pantsless Rihanna fix. Enjoy!

Please Donate to Boys & Girls Clubs
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Kalamazoo are dedicated to providing the youth in our community with positive programs and guidance. In order to continue programming at the level that youth need and deserve, the Boys & Girls Clubs must rely on the generosity of our community. The donation of resources – human, financial, and program – are essential to the continued successful operation of our organization.
Approximately 35% of our organization's operating budget derives from the generosity of the Greater Kalamazoo United Way. The remaining half of the budget is dependent on revenue generated from grant funds, donations, and fundraisers.
Monetary donations of any amount are greatly welcomed and appreciated. Monetary donations can be made to the Boys & Girls Club general operating fund or to a specific program area. If you wish to give to a program area, please specify your desired use when making the donation. If you are interested in making a monetary donation, please contact Cathy Weirick, Director of Administration and Development, at 269-349-4485 x109, or you may use the form below.
Planned Giving
Planned giving is a process that uses tax and financial planning methods to allow a donor to achieve both financial and philanthropic objectives. Listed below are some of the ways that charitable giving might fit into your financial planning.
Charitable Bequests/Wills | Bequests can be made in the form of a cash gift, property, or in a charitable trust.
Charitable Remainder Trust | You can use this type of trust to make a deferred charitable gift, reserving lifetime income payments for yourself or a designated individual. Because the trust qualifies for significant tax benefits, your spendable, after-tax income may actually increase.
Gift Annuity | A Gift Annuity is an agreement between you and Boys & Girls Clubs under which you give a specific sum of cash, securities, or other property and, in return, are guaranteed a fixed annual income for life. The transfer is part gift and part purchase of an annuity.
Life Insurance Policies | A charitable organization, such as the Boys & Girls Clubs, can be named as a beneficiary.
Current Gift of Appreciated Stock or Real Estate
Please contact Cathy Weirick, Director of Administration and Development, at 269-349-4485 x109 if you are interested in receiving more information about planned giving.
In Kind:
Many programs and events require supplies that are inexpensive, but needed in quantity. The Boys & Girls Clubs of Kalamazoo always welcomes supplies for any of the programs and events listed below.
The next time you are hosting a party or get-together, consider enriching the evening by picking a Boys & Girls Clubs program and asking all guests to bring some sort of needed supply as an "Entry Gift". These inexpensive donations will add a new dimension to your party and strengthen the programs and events of the Clubs.
Art Room Supplies | crayons, markers, construction paper, clay, etc.
Recreation Supplies | sports equipment, board games, puzzles, etc.
Educational Materials | including books and tech room supplies | printer paper, ink cartridges, etc.
Toys for Holiday Party | specifically toys for our teen and pre-teen members. Please call with any questions regarding age specific toys.

The Potters' need to strengthen in the New Year has been heightened by a run which has brought just one win in their last 10 Premier League outings.
An alarming slump has dropped Hughes' men to within three points of the relegation zone.
The busy festive period will offer ample opportunity to turn the tide heading into 2014, but Hughes admits he will be looking to add regardless of how his side fare over the coming weeks.
He said after Saturday's 4-0 defeat by Everton: "I think we have to invest and improve the first team.
"Those type of players might not be available in January.
"We have got targets in mind and we will see if we can bring them to the club. If we do that, it will help us.
"We will try to address the weaknesses and add to the strengths we have."
Meanwhile, Hughes is determined to ensure that first-choice goalkeeper Begovic sees out the winter window at the Britannia Stadium.
Reports have suggested that Manchester City have entered the race for the Bosnia international - in a deal which could see Joe Hart loaned in the opposite direction - but Stoke maintain that no formal offers have been received.
Hughes added: "We haven't heard anything on that.
"Asmir is an exceptional keeper, as he proved once again (at Goodison Park)."

A coup d'etat, French for "stroke of state," is an illegal overthrow of a government by a small group from within, often led by elements of the military. Coups may take place with or without broader popular support and their ultimate "legality" depends on their success or failure. The term was first used to describe Napoleon's seizure of power in France in 1799. Julius Caesar's takeover of Rome is another example, as is his own subsequent assassination by a small group of senators. Coups are generally more common and successful in countries with weak or young government institutions and where political participation is limited to a small group.

Presentation: Financial Transaction Exchange at BetFair.com
Financial Transaction Exchange at Betfair
Matt Youill, Chief Technologist at Betfair, discusses the core transaction engine behind the Betfair exhange, its similarity with financial exchanges, and how it led to a spin-off company and product called TradeFair in this QCon 2008 presentation
Matt begins his talk by explaining the principles behind Betfair and why their betting transactions are so similar to those of any other financial exchange. He then outlines key problems facing any financial exchange operating across the Web: security, low capability devices (phones, browsers), channel predictability, very low latency requirements, and cost per transaction. Financial exchanges have very large capacity demands and transaction volumes (currently 1,000 transactions per second with a goal of 50,000 tps in the near future).
Betfair transactions, unlike typical financial exchanges, can be for very small amounts, so there is intense pressure to reduce the per-transaction costs for the system.
The presentation concludes with a discussion of technology options and choices incorporated in Betfair's 100x project. Enjoy this informative presentation: Financial Transaction Exchange at Betfair.com.

A delicious childhood classic for many Singaporeans.
Recipe makes one 11-inch cake
Difficulty: Moderate
Preparation time: 20 minutes
Bake time: 50 minutes
80g cake flour
¼ tsp salt
5 egg yolks
20g fine sugar
70g freshly squeezed orange juice
60g canola or corn oil
grated zest of 1 orange
For the meringue mixture:
90g fine sugar
10g rice flour
5 egg whites
1. Preheat oven to 160°C.
2. Sift cake flour and salt, and set aside.
3. Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl of a standing mixer and beat at high speed till light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
4. Add orange juice and oil, then beat at medium speed until incorporated, about 1 minute.
5. Add the sifted flour and orange zest and beat till the batter becomes a little sticky, about 1 minute. Set aside.
6. To make meringue mixture, mix rice flour and sugar in a bowl. Set aside.
7. Place egg whites in a clean and dry bowl. Beat using the whisk attachment at medium speed until the egg whites become foamy.
8. Add half of the sugar and flour mixture and continue whisking at high speed for a minute before adding the rest of the sugar and flour mixture.
9. Continue beating till the egg whites turn glossy and form stiff peaks.
10. Add one third of the meringue mixture into the egg yolk mixture and fold in lightly with a rubber spatula. Then add remaining meringue and fold to incorporate completely. Use a light hand while doing this to ensure you don't release too much air as you go along.
11. Pour batter into an ungreased chiffon cake tube pan. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes. When cake is done, remove from oven and turn it over, leaving it to cool. This will ensure that the cake doesn't collapse while cooling.
12. When the cake has cooled completely, carefully run a knife or spatula around the sides of the cake to loosen it before inverting onto a wire rack.

What is Communion?
Communion is a holy time of worship when we come together as one body to remember and celebrate what Christ did for us. It is typically done either weekly or monthly but the outcome is the same; a sharing of the most important reminder of what Christ did for us in life, death and resurrection.
Why do we celebrate Communion?
The Lord told us to do it in remembrance of him. "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 1 Corinthians 11:24 We celebrate communion in an ongoing effort to be more like Him. It is a statement of faith.
What does Communion do to us?
As we examine ourselves (before taking the bread and wine) we are convicted, humbled and grateful. Convicted of the enormous sacrifice Christ made on our behalf. Humbled because we realize without Him we would be lost. Grateful for the opportunity to draw near to him, participate in the body of Christ and continue the process of growing in faith.
How do we celebrate Communion?
Corporately coming together as one, "Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. 1 Corinthians 10:16-17
Prayer and thanksgiving- "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me" ! Corinthians 11:24
Reflection- "A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup." 1 Corinthians 11:28
Taking the elements- "And when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." 1Corinthians 11:24
Who can participate in Communion?
Anyone who has asked Christ into their heart can partake of the cup and bread.
What else is Communion called?
Communion is also called Holy Communion, the Lord's Supper, Breaking of bread, the Eucharist and Sacrament of the Table. Each of these has a particular meaning but is referred to in Communion.
Do different churches celebrate Communion differently?
For the most part there is an overall agreement on how it should be celebrated though some disagree with the open and closed communion. Some denominations differ in their understanding of whether they take Communion with those whom they are not in full communion (members of their own church). Other churches allow any who wish to commenmorate the life and teachings of Christ regardless of religious affiliation.
Who presides over Communion?
A pastor or priest leads their congregation in Communion with worship, prayer and passing out of the elements.
Is Communion important?
The leader of a church recognizes the depth of importance of Communion. His whole purpose is to lead his parishioners to a deeper relationship with Christ. Communion symbolizes the ongoing growth of faith and richness of relationship with Christ. For the parishioner it is a coming together of the church symbolizing that they are one in Christ and renewing the commitment to continue to strive to be like Christ.
