Did Miley Cyrus Post a Picture of Herself Smoking Pot?
Miley, Miley, Miley. It appears that Miley Cyrus posted a picture on Instagram last night of herself smoking pot.
Miley, Miley, Miley. It appears that Miley Cyrus posted a picture on Instagram last night of herself smoking pot.
Who wouldn't want a dog that looks like this? Which Mega Star gave this puppy a home?
Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood top dosomething.org's list of celebs who made the world a better place in 2012.
Will the 'Two and a Half Men' crazy never end? Earlier this week, all eyes were on young star Angus T. Jones when his "Forerunner Chrconicles" religious rants hit the web, denouncing the ten-year show as "filth" and urging viewers not to watch. Since then, Jones has since apologized and vowed to remain with the series, in spite of Charlie Sheen's comments, but could recent guest star Miley Cyrus be on deck to replace Jones? Almost certainly so, according to insiders!
It's hard to think of Miley Cyrus as anything other than Hannah Montana, even now when she's smoking bongs, cutting her hair to look like Draco Malfoy and getting engaged to 'The Hunger Games' heartthrob Liam Hemsworth. Perhaps if she lands a gig on the Lifetime network playing one of the most infamously recognized criminals in history, she'll be able to completely break that image.
Well if you're going to go down, go down singing, right Is that how that goes? Hmm. It's still unknown whether or not 'Two and a Half Men' will begin its final season when the tenth year debuts on September 27, or if an eleventh season is in the cards, but for now things are certainly kicking off with a bang. We'd already heard that legendary singer Michael Bolton would be dropping by the show as himself, but now edgy pop sensation Miley Cyrus is the latest big name attached to 'Two and a Half Men' season 10. The real question is, who will she play, and for how long?
If you've been hiding under a rock for the past few days, you missed out on some big news: Country-star-daughter-turned-pop-princess Miley Cyrus is engaged! 19-year-old Cyrus' longtime boyfriend, actor Liam Hemsworth, popped the question last week. On the red carpet at the CMT Music Awards (okay, actually it was purple carpet), award-winning country star Carrie Underwood gave some marriage advice to the happy couple.
Miley Cyrus and her longtime boyfriend Liam Hemsworth are getting hitched.
According to People magazine, the 22-year-old Hemsworth popped the question last Thursday with a 3.5 carat diamond ring.
Sometimes we wonder why celebrities are so unapproachable. Is it because they are stuck up and think they are better than us common folks? Or do they surround themselves with security and other liaisons for their own personal protection
You might be a redneck when the international media is running pictures of your new tattoo! Nope it's not a Jeff Foxworthy bit, it's reality for Billy Ray Cyrus' little girl Miley. So you remember Miley's other tattoo?

Who says you can't teach an old Shaq new tricks? Every time the Suns center questions opponents' Hack-a-Shaq tactics, he sounds like someone making excuses for not hitting his free throws.
Forgive me, Mr. Supersized Saguaro, but please don't turn into a purveyor of fine whines and flamb�ed excuses. Your history as one of the NBA's more dominating and entertaining players doesn't mean it's OK to shoot from the hip but not from the line.
On Tuesday, Shaquille O'Neal called a team's decision to intentionally foul him when it has a 10-point-or-more lead "cowardly." His frustration is understandable. The tactic walks the fine line of sportsmanship and mocks the spirit of the game.
It's also well within NBA rules, and every time O'Neal reacts to it he sounds like someone with an accountability issue.
Does 16-plus years in the league mean there's no room for improvement?
"No," said Ed Palubinskas, a well-known shooting coach and former Olympian. "Shaq's a great guy, but I just don't think it matters to him anymore."
Doesn't matter? That sounds a bit harsh. O'Neal cares. He often would stay after practice last season with then-Suns assistant Phil Weber and work on free-throw drills. But it does seem he's given up going that extra mile because he feels all the coaches - and words of wisdom - over his long NBA career have done him little good.
Palubinskas helped O'Neal during the 2000-01 season when his free-throw percentage with Los Angeles had dropped to 38 percent. It appeared to work, and he shot 68 percent over the last 15 games of the season. When O'Neal was left to his own devices, his struggles continued.
His free-throw progression is a study in erraticism. Last season's 50.3 percent mark is worse than his rookie effort of 1992-93, when he hit 59.2 percent.
He incrementally shot worse Seasons 2 through 5, stayed around 52 percent Seasons 6 through 10 and hit his career high in 2002-03, when he shot 62.2 percent. He's remained below 50 percent since, until last season. That number was the worst percentage in the NBA for those who qualified for league rankings based on participation. This preseason, he's missed 8 of 12 attempts.
It's a curious phenomenon that many athletically gifted athletes - O'Neal certainly isn't the only one - can stand 15 feet from their target with no one in their faces and miss. Sometimes badly.
"The athleticism really has nothing to do with their shooting technique," said Florida State assistant basketball coach Andy Enfield, the former NCAA record holder in free-throw percentage. "Some of it is hand-eye coordination, judging distance, things like that, but most of it is technique."
Enfield, who has worked with more than 100 NBA players, said one of his better pupils was the Suns' Grant Hill. Early in his career, Hill, with Enfield's guidance, changed his form from shooting from the left side of his face with a low release, to the right center of his body with a higher release point. It paid off. Hill steadily improved and last season's 86.7 percent effort was the best of his career.
"I've never worked with someone who worked as hard as Grant did," Enfield said. "He was determined to get it right."
The Suns had two players rank at the top of the league last season in free-throw percentage. Steve Nash finished fifth (.906) and Hill 13th.
It doesn't take a physicist to see what O'Neal is doing wrong. He often delivers on an arc that's almost flat.
Over the years he has offered a variety of explanations for his struggles, including a short tendon in his shooting hand, a product of a childhood injury that did not heal properly.
Others have suggested that his hands are too large to be successful at the line.
"Nah," Palubinskas said. "It's simply a mastery of physical and technical techniques."
He believes if O'Neal could average just. 2.5 more free throws per quarter "he'd score 10 more points per game, be one of the NBA leaders in scoring, sit more and add two more years of playing time to his career."
Maybe. It certainly would help the Suns, who could use a little consistency in this era of changes.

Full detailed profile on Matt Reardon Played by Kurt McKinney on Guiding Light Daytime Soap Opera.
Kurt McKinney
Birthday: 1962-02-13
At the mansion, Cyrus impresses Alexandra in his new Italian suit. He's just prepping himself for his meeting with the Spaulding brass. She tells him to enjoy himself. Meanwhile, Dinah walks in on Mallet as he goes through their bills. She's still looking for a way to help out but he says that it's all taken care of. Marina comes to the door to pull him away to work. Once they depart, Dinah sneaks out and heads over to see Alex who, rather bluntly, fires her on the spot. Dinah tells her that she's making a mistake; she knows Cyrus better than anyone else. She quickly surmises Alex's whole plot to control Cyrus and, knowing this won't work, she taunts her, asking her what she will do when her plan comes apart and she finally realizes she's the one being played. After leaving, Dinah goes down to Lizzie's bar. Finding a credit card left on the table, she decides to keep it and use the identity on the card. She introduces herself to the bartender as 'Georgia Tucci' when she orders a drink. Soon, she begins playing the part and Matt arrives, listening to her for awhile before sitting down with her. She's embarrassed, but he's in no mood to be judgmental. He's impressed by how smooth she is right now though: When she's lying, she doesn't slur or stutter a single word. When Mallet arrives to take her home, she starts to stutter again and she hurries him out.
At police headquarters, Mallet is telling Marina about the difficulty he's having getting medical coverage for Dinah. Meanwhile, Dinah struggles to get through an introduction for a segment for her show. When she keeps getting the words wrong and stumbling, she starts to scream at the camera man. Vanessa says they need to take a break. She tells her daughter that she is doing too much too soon: She needs to stay home and rest. Dinah wants another chance but her mother says no: If Dinah won't take of herself, she'll have to take care of her. When she goes home, she finds Mallet there. They talk about their work days. He tells her that his work load will be much lighter now so he'll have more time to spend with her. When he leaves to go to the bank, she starts to search through his desk and finds all of the insurance papers. Picking up the phone, she calls Matt for help. When he arrives, he looks through the bills. She asks him to ask her mom to give her a raise. Awkwardly, he tells her that Vanessa just sent him divorce papers. She's confused and starts to cry; she feels broken but she wishes that people would stop talking down to her. She begs Matt for a second job, one at Lewis. He can't do that for her.
On Main Street, Cassie sits down beside Matt. He has been sitting there for hours with a letter from Vanessa. Expecting the worst, he hasn't been able to open it, but finally does. It's his divorce papers. Meanwhile, Dinah has gotten dressed up and goes down to the dining room at Towers. Cassie grabs her hand and pulls her to a table. When their dinner comes, Dinah just stares at the cutlery. Cassie asks her if something is wrong. Dinah begins accusing her of being sent to spy on her by Mallet. Everyone knows that she is the 'brain damaged TV star'. Cassie insists that no one sent her and asks Dinah to sit down and explain things. Dinah doesn't know how to do things. She doesn't even know how to use the fork. 'That must be so frustrating,' Cassie says. Insulted by sympathy, Dinah almost burst into tears. She doesn't want anyone's pity: She's not a loser. Spotting two men at the bar, she decides to prove that she can still have men eating out of the palm of her hand. As she strides over, Cassie looks on, worried. She sits at the bar with the men and flirts with them in a series of incoherent sentences before returning to Cassie's table with a pair of cell numbers. She realizes that she forgot her credit card at the bar and returns to hear the men commenting on what an idiot she seemed to be. The numbers they gave her were for the dog pound. Dinah's crushed.
Mallet meets with Frank at CO2 to ask for more time off. Frank can't do that; he needs him on the job. Afterwards, Mallet finds Matt sitting on the bench on Main Street. He wishes that he'd told him about Dinah's condition before. Matt tells him that he just figured it out on his own. Mallet needs help: This is worse than being dead for Dinah. He will help, Matt offers, but he has problems of his own and he thinks that Mallet should hire someone to help her. As he walks away, Mallet calls Frank and tells him that he may have to fire him. He won't let Dinah do this alone.
Mallet is dismayed to see Dinah pushing herself so hard to get back to work. He doesn't want to leave her but she pushes him to go off to work and leave her. Once he's gone, she calls Matt and asks him to give her some backup. Dinah goes out to meet an enthusiastic producer about interviewing Doris live on the evening news. Dinah tries to hide her discomfort at this challenge. Matt sits down with her and offers to help her out. The producer returns with Eve, a chipper replacement reporter, just in case Dinah needs to step out. Dinah remains undaunted; she wants to prove to everyone that she's even sharper than she was before her trauma. She wants a challenge; she's sick of relying on other people. Matt's impressed, she hasn't stumbled over a single word. He gives her a hug. Later, Mallet arrives just as the interview is about to begin. She is rushed in front of the camera to interview Frank. As she begins to read the teleprompter, things go fine until she has to speak for herself. The words become difficult and her sentences incoherent. After a long and difficult pause, Frank tries to speak, but everything becomes blurry for Dinah as she freezes up and holds back her tears.
Dinah and Mallet arrive at Company to the applause of all of their friends. Dinah is uncomfortable and disoriented, but only Matt seems to notice. After a few awkward encounters with guests, Matt corners her and tries to give her some support. She assures him that everything is slowly coming back to her. When she forgets Remy's name, she starts to cry and runs to the washroom. Later, she goes down to CO2 and fumbles with her phone, dropping it and breaking into tears when someone jogs by. Mallet runs up to her and holds her close, trying to calm her. Sitting her down, he apologizes for the party; it was obviously too much too soon. He tells her that he is stepping down from the crime commission but she doesn't want him to give up his life for her. 'Everything else is just stuff,' he says as they kiss.
At Cedars, Dinah's doctor is talking to her about the difficulties she may encounter. She starts to space out until Mallet arrives to take her home. As the doctor leaves to get the release forms, Mallet smiles and goes off to prepare things. Left alone, Dinah starts to mumble to herself and begins to play with her phone, forgetting how to use it. Cyrus walks in, surprising her. She can't remember his name until Marina walks in and says it. She tells them that she needs to dress and they leave as Mallet returns. He takes her home and Matt comes knocking. Mallet is about to leave them alone to pick up their food when she starts to space out again. When a knock at the door brings flowers, she gets jumpy and sits down as he leaves. Once Mallet's gone, she rushes into the washroom and tries to pull herself together. After she slumps down, Matt comes in to check on her. She tells him that everything is wrong; she feels blocked and words won't come out the way they're supposed to. When she saw him, she couldn't come up with his name and became confused. As she cries, he tries to calm her, reminding her that she's been through a serious trauma and it will be difficult for awhile. He tells her that nobody has to know that she's having trouble, she can take notes and practice until she gets back to her old self. When Mallet returns and unpacks the food, she hugs him close.
On Main Street, Matt grabs away Vanessa's phone to tell her that Dinah is awake. She tries to rush off but he stops her, reminding her that they need to wait while they continue to run tests. He feels that this is a sign that everything will be alright. Taking her hand, they know that they can't wait and run off and over to Dinah. They sit by her side with Mallet. He tells her that he was trying to let her go and be faithful to her last request in her living will. She seems confused. He wanted to be able to let her go, but he couldn't and begs her to forgive him. 'I don't need to forgive you,' she says. Later, Marina arrives to pay a visit and Dinah asks where her 'daddy' is. Vanessa gets a worried look when she hears this. Vanessa explains that Ross died a year ago. Dinah remembers and says that she's just tired. They all file out but Mallet stays by her side. In the corridor, Cyrus arrives and tells Marina that he knows her father just wants what's best for her. None of that matters to her though. 'I believe in you,' she tells him.
At Cedars, Vanessa sits beside Dinah and promises her that everything will be fine. Matt arrives to check in, but Vanessa asks him to leave: She doesn't want to be in the same room as him. As they begin to argue, Mallet, who hasn't slept in days, runs in and begs them to stop or he'll throw them out. They leave the room. Vanessa is distraught; Dinah shouldn't be in that bed: It should be Matt. Mallet begs them not to argue in Dinah's room anymore and then returns to look at his unconscious wife. Marina tells him to go home and get some rest. He's reluctant, particularly as Dinah's eyelids flicker and her hand shakes, but Marina pulls him away.
Matt tells Vanessa that he's sorry he was out of line; he feels responsible for what's happened. While she won't scream and yell at him, she won't talk to him either. When she walks away, he follows her, sick of apologizing. He only did what he did to give her and Maureen a better life. No matter how many bad calls he's made, he's never questioned his love for her. If she can't see that, they're finished.

HENRICO COUNTY, Va. (WTVR) – Police released the name of the man found shot to death in a Henrico County driveway. Family members found Knighton Timothy Hill, Jr., 28, suffering from a gunshot wound around 1:10 a.m. and called police.
Neighbors along the 3800 block of Broadgate Drive also called police to report hearing gunshots.
Investigators classified Hill's death as a homicide.
At this point police have not released any information about a suspect.
Several neighbors in the area said they heard multiple gun shots, but immediately following the shots, things in the street were quite.
"I didn't see anything; didn't see any cars, I don't have any clue," said Cheryl Threatt. Threatt lives a block away from the scene.
"There is nothing much you can say to a family that just lost someone," said Ronald Hopkins, who walks by home where police said the homicide happened. "I'm quite sure they're going through a great deal. It's real tragic for anybody."
Family members told CBS 6 reporter Jake Burns a couple and their two adult children live in the home. Detectives urged anyone who heard gunshots early Tuesday morning to call Crime Stoppers at (804) 780-1000.
This is a developing story.

A professor in the East Tennessee State University College of Public Health who is widely considered the nation's foremost researcher on indoor tanning has received grant funding from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and Prevention to study the availability and use of private tanning facilities.
Dr. Joel Hillhouse, a professor in the ETSU Department of Community and Behavioral Health, is co-principal investigator with Dr. Sherry Pagoto, a colleague at the University of Massachusetts Medical School. The CDC is providing $598,006 to fund their study.
The two universities will divide the study along geographic lines. Hillhouse's research team will investigate the availability and use of tanning beds in rural areas, while Massachusetts researchers will explore their use in urban environments.
Hillhouse's investigations of tanning – particularly that of teens and college students – have received national attention, and his research is also funded by the National Institutes of Health. Indoor tanners who start before age 35 have a 75 percent increased risk of melanoma, which is just one of the data points that has prompted some U.S. states to consider legislating tanning salons.
But there have been no studies on the availability and use of alternatives to traditional salons, Hillhouse said, and he is concerned that regulation of those businesses – while being a step forward for overall public health – could also bear unintended consequences. If states begin requiring salons to require parental permission for tanners under age 18 or ban youth tanning outright, for example, Hillhouse said it could lead to more unsupervised use in places such as apartment complexes, fitness clubs and private residences.
Unsupervised tanning is more pervasive in rural America, Hillhouse said. Tanning beds are relatively inexpensive – they can be purchased for under $2,000 – so it's within the means of many businesses and homeowners to buy a bed. Hillhouse remembers driving by a bait shop that once modified its sign to note the addition of indoor tanning. And his research assistant, Katie Baker, recounts a childhood friend in Northeast Tennessee who grew up within sight of a homeowner who added a tanning bed in the basement. Neighbors, she said, could use it at their leisure.

PITB's annual Every Goal series compiles and examines each goal scored by a Canuck during the regular season, player by player. It's a chance to marvel at some sexy scoring plays, get excited for the possibilities of the coming year, and appreciate and reflect on the players that made up the 2010-11 Vancouver Canucks.
Considering the circumstances, we thought it might be fitting to kick this summer's series off with Christian Ehrhoff, the Buffalo-bound blueliner that tallied 28 goals and 94 points over two seasons in a Canucks' uniform.
Ehrhoff will be greatly missed for his dynamic offense. While the German-born defender wasn't much of a shutdown guy, his mobility, offensive awareness, and his shot made him a threat to score from just about anywhere. Seriously, anywhere. Ehrhoff has a tendency to put himself out of position on occasional forays into the untold depths of the O-zone, but he also has a tendency to score beautiful goals from those same spots (and don't you worry: all these clips have happy endings).
Ladies and gentlemen: let every goal Christian Ehrhoff scored last season be his swansong.
1 Oct. 9 vs the Los Angeles Kings
Ehrhoff's first goal also happened to be the Canucks' first goal of the season, scored on Newell Brown's new look, loaded-up powerplay. You'll see a lot of powerplay goals today, but it's worth noting where Ehrhoff scores this one: in the crease. Truthfully, though he played the point, Ehrhoff rarely quarterbacked the Canucks' powerplay. Instead, he acted primarily as a roamer, as he does here, leaving the point and slipping into passing lanes to maximize the vision and precision of the Sedins.
2 Oct. 13 vs the Anaheim Ducks
That said, Ehrhoff can still wire it. Here's an old-fashioned man advantage goal, scored after Ehrhoff's point shot goes off the shaft of Cam Fowler's stick and past Jonas Hiller.
3 Nov. 21 vs the Phoenix Coyotes
Couple of things to notice here: the first is Mason Raymond making a nice centering pass from behind the net. Granted, it misses his intended target, Ryan Kesler, but Ehrhoff picks it up right in the center of the zone, and he's not going to miss from there. The second thing to notice is Alex Burrows' opportunistic screen. As soon as he realizes Ehrhoff is in prime shooting position, he darts past Ilya Bryzgalov to ensure there's no way this puck can be seen and position himself for a potential rebound. Burrows is a smart player.
4 Dec. 3 vs the Chicago Blackhawks:
Another powerplay goal, this time scored on a wrist shot from the top of the circle. As I said, Ehrhoff is a true roamer; his goals come from all over the ice. Worth noting: this powerplay lasts all of four seconds. After a won faceoff, Edler moves it to Ehrhoff who puts it in the back of the net. That wasn't uncommon for the Canucks' PP last season, but can they be as effective next year without their wild card?
5 Dec. 18 vs the Toronto Maple Leafs:
Five goals, five different locations. Ehrhoff scores this one just below the center of the blue line. The pass by Jannik Hansen is a thing of beauty, too. Hansen gets a bad rap for his hands, but he showed promising signs of softness at times last season. Can Hansen be the third Canuck (after Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows) to follow up a breakout defensive year with a breakout offensive year? He has it in him.
6 Dec. 23 vs the Columbus Blue Jackets
John Shorthouse's call on this goal says it all: after the Canucks throw the puck around the zone like the Harlem Globetrotters on ice, he marvels, Somebody start singing Sweet Georgia Brown! Honestly, I don't know what's more impressive: the Canucks' zone pressure or the fact that Shorty knows the actual name of the tune most people just call that Globetrotters song.
7 Jan. 14 vs the Washington Capitals
Ehrhoff may have chosen Buffalo because of the way he loves to roam. Here's another example: he begins this play down along the wall, before drifting back to the point. Then, after Ryan Kesler backs the Washington powerplay way off, Ehrhoff drifts back to the blueline, then steps way in and wires the puck from the top of the left circle.
8 Jan. 24 vs the Dallas Stars:
If you're looking for a reason Ehrhoff's numbers may decline in the East, it's that he'll now be relied on to create scoring chances as well as finish them. Consider this clip, where Ehrhoff rarely moves, for once, while Henrik Sedin skates a half marathon in the meantime. After just barely missing a give-and-go with his brother, Henrik collects the puck at the wall, circles back to the point, then makes like he's going forward with it. Then, instead, he casually dumps it off for an Ehrhoff one-timer. Last I checked, Buffalo doesn't have Sedins — Christian might have to do a little more work with his new team.
That said, it's not like his shot will be any less lethal; this one's a laser. During his tenure with Vancouver, Ehrhoff had a tendency to spray pucks all over the Lower Mainland, but if the puck was on net, it was a difficult save. Of note, these last two clips showcased what will be a common theme in this series: the Vancouver powerplay victimizing the Dallas penalty kill, which had a tendency respond to puck movement by freezing up like it had been touched by a Frost Giant.
10 Feb. 4 vs the Chicago Blackhawks:
Ehrhoff's 10th of the season comes after some good work by… Cody Hodgson and Tanner Glass? Yeah, definitely not his usual setup crew. My favourite part of this clip is Ryan Kesler completely stiffing Ehrhoff's attempt at a post-goal high five. Why so serious, Kes? Was it because Kesler believes (correctly) that this puck was offside and the goal shouldn't have counted? Nope. In truth, Kesler had just come on to replace Hodgson, but Hodgson collected his first career-assist on the goal, and Kesler wanted to give the young centerman the opportunity to celebrate it with his teammates. In typically Keslerian fashion, however, he's so seriously committed to this gesture that he buries his head, refuses to acknowledge Ehrhoff (an act that would constitute celebrating a goal he didn't earn), and sends Hodgson out to join the group hug in his stead.
11 Mar. 18 vs the Phoenix Coyotes
This is a good read by Ehrhoff, who originally leaves the point because he thinks Daniel Sedin might be able to find a seam as he circles the net. The Coyotes play it well, however, and that play never materializes. Then, just as Ehrhoff turns to retreat to the blueline, the puck comes to Samuelsson, and another seam opens up. Because Ehrhoff has never seen a seam he didn't like (he's the Betsy Ross of Vancouver), he stays, and it pays off. Samuelsson feeds it through, and Ehrhoff puts it past LaBarbera on the second whack.
12 Mar. 27 vs the Columbus Blue Jackets
This is a beautiful goal. After some great board work by the line of Raymond, Kesler, and Higgins, Ehrhoff jumps in off the blueline and Raymond makes a nifty backpass to find him for the goal.
13 Mar. 31 vs the Los Angeles Kings
This goal is created by some fabulous skating. After Drew Doughty jumps in off the Kings' blueline and loses the puck, the Canucks turn back up the ice on a 3-on-1. Though they're racing against the clock, they still take three gorgeous lines: Jannik Hansen skates his ass off to take the puck wide, Raffi Torres streaks up the wing and never quits moving his legs, and Ehrhoff takes a few strong strides, then drifts behind the wingers, opening up a passing lane. Hansen finds him, Ehrhoff makes a quick snapshot, and the goal beats the end of the period by less than a second.
14 Apr. 9 vs the Calgary Flames
Ehrhoff's 14th goal (and 50th point, both career-highs) is also the overtime winner in Vancouver's last game of the regular season, meaning he opened and closed the Canucks' scoring in 2010-11. This goal comes on some excellent pressure, as the Canucks win a faceoff, then throw everything at the Calgary net. After Ehrhoff fans on a shot, the Canucks put three shots on net in three seconds. After Hansen hits the post and Henrik Karlsson stops Alex Edler, Ehrhoff's shot beats him cleanly to win the game.
Want all these clips in one video? @nic604vanbc's got you covered. And stay tuned throughout the summer as PITB works its way through the Canucks' 2010-11 roster.Tags: Ehrhoff, Every Goal 10-11, featured
Ehrhoff may have chosen Buffalo because of the way he loves to roam. Classic. I'm still laughing. It's pretty interesting though to read Sabres' fans comments about how Ehrhoff is the ultimate PP QB. I guess they didn't see many Canucks games this year. Or watch the playoffs. It will be even more interesting to see if he can keep up the point production in Buffalo.
This is such a great event that you put on here. Yes, Kes please.
Ah yes, I love the 'Every Goal' series. Thanks for taking the time to do them…Kes and Daniel will be epic, and epically difficult to write, given the 82 goals between them. #13 was one of the great moments of the Reg season, given that we clinched the Pres Trophy with that game.
But does anyone else still get a twinge of sadness watching these? Knowing you're watching a clip from October or December when you're only a few weeks removed from the game we could have clinched the Cup…so, so close. I hope we get to experience those high pressure, highly meaningful games very soon again.

|I love college!
Newsflash, ladies: it's almost midterms. Everyone knows that the first few months of class are your one chance to make the best impression you can with classmates, professors, deans, dorm mates, basically everyone on campus. Here's your checklist of 15 things every freshman should make sure to do before your first semester ends!
Go to class. This might seem blatantly obvious, but every semester I see it happen: there's that one freshman girl who parties every night and naps all day, and who come second semester, has dropped out. Don't be that girl. Go to class, sit in the front, actively participate, take notes, and study. Come Friday night, you won't feel guilty about those two chapters of reading you left unfinished.
Socialize, socialize, socialize. If you stuck to the same small circle of friends in high school, this is your time to be a social butterfly! Join clubs, compete in your dorm hall's floor wars or on your intramural broomball team, tailgate to football games, join in at ugly sweater holiday parties and keep your dorm room door open. Everyone is making friends their first semester and it's important that you do the same!
Get to know your professors. It's never too late to start networking so make a habit of visiting your professor's office hours. And chances are likely that you'll need a professor as a recommendation for a future job or internship.
Meet with a career advisor. Take advantage of your on-campus career center. They can provide interview practice, resume and cover letter advice, and point you in the right direction to internships.
Learn to manage your time. You have classes, exercising, socializing, and extra curriculars. You might even have an internship or a part-time job. So take the time to effectively organize your time.
Make friends with someone in class. Or better yet, take class with a friend. It makes things much easier and you can always borrow notes from them when you catch the flu.
Rethink your weekends. If you're a freshman, it's inevitable that you're going to want to experience the party scene. But if you find yourself with a hangover every day of the weekend, that's not the healthiest thing. Try to seeing a movie, reading a book, going mini-golfing, hiking, or having a do-it-yourself mani-pedi with your best friends.
Apply for an on-campus job. Your pizza fund isn't going to last forever and come next semester, you'll be buying a new stack of textbooks. Having an on-campus job is a great resume builder to employers and allows you to make some cash while you're in school.
Call home. You shouldn't be embarrassed about feeling homesick. Make sure Mom and Dad visit campus for Parents Weekend. They'll spoil you by taking you and your friends out to dinner and helping out as much as they can. It's the perfect opportunity to take a break from your crazy college life to go shopping and stock up on anything you need. Also, care packages are the best.
Avoid gorging in the dining hall. Avoid the dreaded freshmen 15 and learn portion control. At the dining hall, reach for foods like whole wheat bread and veggies and try to stay away from the gloppy trays of mac and cheese, and waffles smothered in maple syrup.
Enroll in fun classes. As a freshman in college with a ton of general education requirements to fill, think of those gen-eds not as boring fill-ins in your schedule… think of them as your ticket to fun! In college, you have a lot more freedom to choose which electives and classes you want to take. So, instead of sitting bored at an 8 a.m. lecture with a hundred other freshmen,you could be learning about pop culture, aerial dancing or even scuba diving (yes, they have that at some school)!
Work out at the rec center. Stay fit and scope out the hotties! A lot of colleges offer group fitness classes like zumba or yoga and outdoor adventure trips like rafting or rock climbing.
Find yourself a study cave. It might be your downtown café or that little-known corner of the library, but it's not too late to scope out a quiet place where you'll do your studying. And when you get there, turn off the gadgets. This will be your safe haven come finals week.
Read your school newspaper. Most likely, you've seen the mounds of papers stacked in academic buildings around campus. Make a point of picking one up and reading it. It's good to be informed about the happenings around campus rather than relying on (unreliable) hearsay. This will especially come in handy when there's a flu outbreak.
Partake in school traditions. Some colleges have the wackiest traditions, but that's part of the fun of college and who wants to be left out?

There are at least three bands called Rhombus: 1) New Zealand Dub/Reggae Band Rhombus are a Dub/Drum n Bass/Reggae/Roots band from Wellington, New Zealand. They were formed in 2001 by Thomas Voyce, Simon Rycroft, Koa Williams and Ahmen Mahal aka Imon Star (who departed from the group in 2007 to pursue his solo project 'Olmecha Supreme'). The band has toured extensively in their native New Zealand along with a few international dates, notably in Japan (2002) and in Australia, playing twice at the Sydney Opera House in November 2004.

Come back legally....why wait for it to be legal...Mexican people come from their country here illegally and the U.S. citizens and U.S. law enforcement have been told to look the other way by the U.S. Congress, so what does legal or illegal have to do with anything if your coming here illegally? Where illegal holds water only applies to a legal American citizen. When they break the law they are arrested, tried and convicted, put in prison, have the cell door slammed shut and the door locked and the key thrown away! Meanwhile, the Mexican Drug Cartel's and every other type of criminal coming into the United States is given protection under the clause,: they are being "stereo-typed" if they are given a second look or asked any questions as to their actions of illegal entry! The U.S. Congress has stated these illegal individual have "rights" and are entitled to benefits, more so than legal citizens born and already residing here all their life! Where the legal citizens "rights" come into play is they have the "right" to pay for the services the illegal immigrants demand upon arrival such as free, room and board, free medical, free school and college educations, free housing, free money, free this ,free that, free whatever their little hearts desire! So, as to your question, what can someone do who has been deported, but wants to come in the U.S., just do as 20 million other illegal immigrants and invaders have done, slip back across the U.S. border time and time again...there are no penalties for doing so since you are not held accountable for your actions like legal U.S. citizens! Soon, there will be another amnesty program and should you be here to sign up, you will be given U.S. Citizenship! They give that away like prizes in a Cracker Jack Box!

Once someone is deported for violating our nation's immigration laws, it is not possible to obtain a visa for re-entry, nor is it possible to attain citizenship or permanent residency.
Was this answer helpful to you?
yes it is first you have to marry a citizen then you apply for a pardon if the only crime commited was entering with out inspection so the pardom have some one like a lawyer write it the know how to make it fancy wait for the pardon to be granted if not granted im afraid the person has to wait 5 years to go by wich if you more tan 25 man they fly right by you

Doesn't matter how long he lived here illegally. Breaking the law for 10 years surely isn't going to help his case.
He can apply to come back after his ban is expired,but his chances of getting approved are slim. He has already proven that he doesn't follow the law.
Was this answer helpful to you?
Unfortunately it doesn't mean anything how long they have been here if they've been here illegally. 5 years barr is not bad. They just have to wait that time and come here legally. If they come back illegally and get caught there's mandatory of 1 year imprisonment :-)
Was this answer helpful to you?
The legal way is to apply for permenant residency after those 5 years are up and wait to be called. 10 years living illegally doesn't make things easier.

This course provides an overview of modeling, animating, and rendering 3D graphics in the open-source software Blender 2.6. Beginning with a tour of the Blender interface, author George Maestri shows how to create and edit basic objects, work with modifiers and subdivision surfaces, and apply materials and textures. The course also demonstrates lighting 3D scenes, setting up and using cameras, animating objects, and assembling basic character rigs.
Another way to create textures for your objects is to use the Node Editor. Now this allows us to connect multiple textures together into a network of nodes that create a more complex texture. Let me show you how this works. The Node Editor is a separate window here. So I'm right now in my 3D viewport. So I am going to go ahead and size this down here, and I am going to click on my top-right corner here and create a new viewport. And under that I'm going to select the Node Editor.
Now this is just another window, but it allows us to do a number of different things. Now we have three modes here: we can use this for materials, we can use us for textures, and we can use it for images. I am going to select the middle button here for textures. Now I have my cube selected, and on that cube I have a default material. Now I want to add in a texture. Now typically, I would just go over to this Texture panel and hit New.
But when I am in the Node Editor, you can hit that same button here. So these two buttons are equivalent. So if I hit it in the Node Editor, notice how it creates a new node in my Properties panel. But I don't want to use my default node here, I want to actually use the nodes in the Node Editor. So if I click Use Nodes here, notice how some nodes pop up. And by default it just gives us a basic checkerboard pattern. So if I want, I can actually change this, and I can basically make a texture, such as a blue-and-white checkerboard. And if I want, if I hit Render, you'll see that it actually shows up on that cube.
So what we have here is we have a node here called Checker which is feeding into this output, which is what's feeding this preview. So if I disconnect this node, notice how this output and the preview go blank. If I select this color node here, you'll see that I can drag out a line and I can plug that into my color channel, and again that shows up in my preview. Now I am not limited to checkerboard. So, if I select this node and just hit the Delete key, then that goes away and I can add in any other type of node I want.
If I go here to the Add menu, you will see I have a number of different types of nodes that I can use to either add in texture or to modify them. So for example here, we have our standard textures, such as Clouds and Wood and Stucco and all of that, but we also have patterns such as the checkerboard we just used. Or we have Bricks. So let's go ahead and select Bricks and bring that up and you will see that nothing really shows up in this panel until we plug it in. So I am going to go ahead and left-click on this color, drag out this line, and plug it into the color of this output node. And you can see how it shows up in my preview.
Now, I have a number of options here that I can change. I can change the thickness of my mortar. I can change my offset of the bricks. So for example, and if I want to, I can make my mortar thicker or thinner, just by dragging this. I can change the color of the mortar. So if I want I can left click on this mortar and we can make it a lighter-colored mortar. I can also change the color of my bricks. So if I click on this yellow brick, I can change it to red. Now I am not limited to just what's in these panels here.
If you notice here, we also have inputs into all of these. Just like we had input this Output node, I can also feed into any one of these an additional color, or an additional node. So if I want to, I can add in another node. So if we go here to Textures and let's say I wanted to add in Clouds, that node will come up, and I can left-click and drag that and this cloud has an output of a color. So if I want to, I can take this color of the clouds and plug it into the mortar of my brick color. And you can see how now this cloud color is showing up as my mortar color.
Now, this is a little extreme, but I can certainly change this. So if I wanted to, I could take my black color and make it a little bit more gray, and you can see now my mortar is a more modeled type of gray. And you can see how this also shows up in my preview. Now if I hit F12 to render, you can see how this shows up on my object. So as you can see, there are a lot of possibilities here. You can certainly plug nodes into other nodes, so it's a really great way to create highly custom textures and materials.

Lehman Walker: U. City City Manager Apparently Violates Contract, Keeps His Job
Categories: Politics
|City Manager Lehman Walker of University City.
The reason for ICMA's actions is that Walker violated the ICMA code of ethics -- specifically, Tenets 2, 3 and 4 of this code. Tenet 2 states that when an ICMA member advises or responds to inquiries from elected or appointed officials of local governments other than the one they are currently working for, the member needs to notify the administrators of the community they are advising.
Walker communicated with a University City council member while he was acting as the Director of Community and Economic Development for Evanston, Illinois, and failed to notify the University City administrator; you can read those emails here if you like. The ICMA board also found that he criticized the U. City City Manager's performance during this period of communication.
Tenet 3 states that "members should not seek employment for a position having an incumbent administrator who has not resigned or been officially informed that his or her services are to be terminated." Walker ran afoul of this tenet when he sent his resume to a University City mayoral candidate while still employed by Evanston; University City had a City Manager at this time who had not been terminated.
Tenet 4 requires that members should avoid tenures of shorter than two years (recommended) while employed by a local city government, with special extenuating circumstances. Walker left his position in Evanston after only nine months so that he could assume the position of City Manger in University City, replacing Julie Feier. Walker had previously worked for U. City as the Director of Community Managment for twelve years, leaving that job in 2009 to take the position in Evanston. The ICMA board determined that there were no extenuating circumstances that justified Walker's brief term in Evanston.
University City Mayor Shelley Welsch issued a strong statement of support for Walker, that included the assertation that "The ICMA is a volunteer membership organization; with no accrediting power; with no authority or knowledge to penalize our City Manager." Welsch also called the ICMA's censure, "One more politically-motivated attempt to smear Mr. Walker, using material that has been public for a year and a half, that has already been the subject of a lawsuit that has been suspended, and follows a complaint filed by local officials who have never met - or indeed ever spoken with, Mr. Walker. It's a travesty -- and I hope the people of University City realize this for what it is."
Walker resigned from the ICMA on February 17 of this year -- one week before the ICMA board convened to determine if he would or would not be censured. He claims to be unperturbed by the ICMA ruling or their banning him from rejoining, noting that "there is no job requirement that I belong."
That may be the case, but Walker's employment contract with University City -- available here -- notes under Section 7, paragraph A, that "Termination with cause shall include termination due to: (3) a material breach of this agreement or breach of the ICMA, code of ethics."
According to the ICMA, Walker has breached the group's code of ethics not once, not twice, but thrice. By her own admission, Mayor Welsch has known of the breaches for a year and a half. Draw from that what conclusions you will.

Houston, Texas — February 16, 2011 — KBR (NYSE: KBR) today announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, M.W. Kellogg Limited (MWKL) reached civil settlement with the UK Serious Fraud Office (SFO). The agreement was granted by the High Court under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and stems from KBR's violations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) occurring between 1994 and 2004, prior to KBR becoming an independent public company in April 2007. The FCPA violations were previously settled with the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) in February 2009.
MWKL reported concerns to the SFO under the agency's self-referral scheme and fully cooperated with the subsequent investigation. The SFO recognized that while the company did benefit from funds acquired as a result of unlawful conduct, MWKL took no part in criminal activity.
Under the terms of the civil settlement agreement, MWKL will pay approximately US$11,238,886 (£7,000,028) within fourteen days in full and final settlement of the case. The amount equals the share of dividends payable from profits generated by contracts obtained for work on the Bonny Island Project. The company will also pay the costs of the investigation and has agreed to overhaul its internal audit and control measures to ensure its compliance systems are in accordance with UK law.
Under KBR's indemnity agreement with Halliburton, 55 percent of the total settlement costs will be reimbursed to KBR. KBR does not anticipate a financial impact from the settlement as this liability is either covered under KBR's indemnity agreement with Halliburton or was provisioned at the time of KBR's purchase from JGC of its 44.94 percent interest in MWKL.
"This settlement was expected and closes out an unfortunate part of KBR's past. We have since moved forward, conducting our business with transparency, accountability and discipline in our continued efforts of being the global contractor of choice," said William P. Utt, KBR President, Chairman and CEO.
KBR is a global engineering, construction and services company supporting the energy, hydrocarbon, government services, minerals, civil infrastructure, power and industrial markets. For more information, visit www.kbr.com.
