The Gooderham & Worts families emigrated from the Scole / Bungay area of England in the early 1830s, arriving in York, (now Toronto, Canada). First came James Worts, accompanied by his 13 year-old son, James Gooderham Worts. They built the windmill near the mouth of the Don River. They were followed in 1832 by William and Ezekiel Gooderham, their sister, Elizabeth (James Worts' wife) and 54 extended family members. Over the following 75 years, these families created the largest distillery in the world, as well as contributing to milling, banking, railways, shipping, farming and other essential components of the growing industrial country. They were active in the church and in various communities, as well as in health care and even in our political institutions. In 2013, descendants of the Gooderham and Worts families created an online website that includes a family tree with photos, documents and stories.

Free Fights!
Free Fights!
Free Fights!
Ref Cam?
This may be the best free fight card that the UFC has put together in their cable and network history. I would pay $55 for this card any day of the week. I expect many fireworks with the crop of talent that is gracing the octagon with their collective presence on Saturday. Arguably, the UFC's most prized possession is on the mind of the four men fighting for that championship (re)match with Jon Jones. They've actually ALL lost to him in convincing fashion, horribly convincing fashion. Dan Henderson has the pleasure, next month, at dethroning the so far the riddle and incumbent champion. But, this weekend...without paying a cent, we get to watch the Light Heavyweight Division unravel with two winners, two losers, and one happy future #1 contender. To add to the excitement, there was speculation earlier in the week that the winner of Shogun Rua and Brandon Vera would receive their rematch against the winner of Jones or Henderson. I think what Dana White meant to say was, "If Shogun wins, he'll get a shot at Jones." But now, we know that whoever impresses the UFC Matchmakers the most this Saturday, will be the new #1 contender. Ryan Bader wears a corny TapouT slogan on his sponsored chest proclaiming that...#MyFightMatters...well "Darth" Bader, it does matter. It matters to your opponent as well, also a former Light Heavyweight Champion, Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida. Let's take a shot every time Mike Goldberg calls him "elusive". Deal? Are ya drunk yet? Swig one Bud Light Platinum, you won't need a 5th of Jack.
Let's look at the matchups...
MAIN EVENT - Mauricio "Shogun" Rua (-400) vs. Brandon "The Truth" Vera (+300)
A very interesting turn of events led to this matchup. Shogun was called out by a little known fighter, and pretty much UFC rookie, Glover Teixera. Teixera came to the UFC from flying under the radar for many years, toiling through the American MMA underground beating a who's who of UFC veterans and Brazilian countrymen on his home soil. He defeated Kyle Kingsbury pretty soundly at UFC 146. He wanted to jump right into an important fight. He asked for Shogun. Dana asked Shogun, Shogun said..."Nooope!" I'll assume in Portuguese. Shogun really gains nothing from fighting and beating a relative newcomer, but Teixera has heavy hands, he(Shogun) has a ton to lose. I don't disagree with Shogun's position (Pride mark in me). In turn, Teixera got his big fight at UFC 153, as he faces Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Shogun doesn't get KO'd by a nobody (to the UFC Mainstream Audience) and everyone is happy.
I believe that Shogun is going to be too much to handle for Vera. If Vera can change levels and keep his striking crisp, he's got a shot. Not much of one, but anything can happen. His wrestling is underrated and if he can get the fight down he may get a chance to hurt Shogun and damage him long-term in this fight. But I can see Shogun winning this fight in several different ways, I think that the fight will get stopped in the second or third round. The smart money is on Shogun, Vegas has him -400. Overwhelming favorite in this contest.
CO-MAIN EVENT - Lyoto "The Dragon" Machida (-370) vs. Ryan "Darth" Bader (+280)
This is a big boy fight for Bader. Historically, that hasn't always been a good thing for him. He was on the fast track to the UFC LHW Title picture when he faced a little known newcomer named Jon "Bones" Jones. Needless to say, "Darth" Bader lost in this movie as well. He was decimated before being guillotined at the hands of the current UFC LHW Champion. This was an ongoing trend as Tito Ortiz dropped him with a huge punch and followed up that with the same exact choke. Bader came back with huge, career saving wins against Jason Brilz and borefest against the aforementioned "Rampage" Jackson. Which Ryan Bader are we going to get? If I'm right, it will be the one on his back with the referee pulling Lyoto Machida off of his unconscious body. I've got Machida by KO in the first.
Bader doesn't quite have the skillset or the speed to deal with Machida. He's got HUGE punching power, but it's one thing to be powerful and another to be quick enough to connect to the "ELUSIVE" Machida's chin. No easy task. Shogun Rua is the only man with that honor. Can Bader take Machida down? Possibly, but no one has been successful in that area either. "Dragon" will impress, but not as much as Shogun. Shogun gets the rematch against Jones or Hendo.
Speaking of quickness, I have the pleasure of covering Mike "Quick" Swick's return to the 8-sided cage. Mike Swick is coming off a two and a half year layoff due to several health issues. While he was away from fighting, I was lucky enough to get some one on one time in the gym with him around the new year. He wasn't ready for the heavy action yet, so he turned town a sparring session with me, but we all really know he was afraid of my right hook. HAAAAAAA!!! I just heard him yawn from San Jose. He's a great guy, taught me some very valuable unforgettable things that I am not liberty to discuss, unless you pay me. But much like this weekend's card, this article is free.
Mike "Quick" Swick (-250) vs. Damarques Johnson (+190)
Both guys haven't had the best luck in their most recent UFC fights, but I have to swing the way of Swick (Oh, you didn't know?). Skillsets are very important in deciding a fight. Who does more things better...sometimes you throw all of that out the window. Who does one thing really well? Swick does all the same things Johnson does, just better. The American Kickboxing Academy has done a great job getting Swick ready for his previous UFC run. I think that his trainers Bob Cook and Javier Mendez will prevail here as well. I think Swick will be a bit rusty through the first few moments but his timing will come back. Once he's got that under control, he'll control this fight. I think Johnson plans to put the pressure on Swick immediately, and try to keep him uncomfortable. The AKA standout I'm sure is more aware of this than anyone. I think Swick will either outlast Johnson and grind out a decision, or one swift connection to the jaw of Johnson and it will be lights out for The Ultimate Fighter Season 9 Runner-up.
Jamie Varner (-115) vs. Joe "J-Lau" Lauzon (-115)
I have never been a fan of Jamie Varner. That doesn't necessarily win him fights though, not sure he cares what I think either. Plus he has a girl's name, so...whatever. Lauzon has had an interesting career inside the octagon. Not sure which one show's up here as well. For my money, Jamie Varner is on a hot streak. Defeating the likes of ESPY nominated Edson Barboza and a nice 2-1 stretch on the independent circuit, the former WEC Lightweight Champion has looked really good lately in his back to back UFC wins. But he has a girl's name, so I'll pick Lauzon by submission. Wait a second, Lauzon's nickname is almost J-Lo...that's also a girl's name. Ok, I say they both lose by double-flying-scissor-omo-gogo-crackhead-control-knee-fist.
FREE on FUEL TV UNDERCARD
Quick Picks:
Phil Davis vs. Wagner Prado
Oh how the mighty have fallen, you lose one fight to Rashad Evans and you're relegated to the lower level faster than an EPL team! Phil Davis bores me to tears despite beating some really talented fighters. Wagner Prado makes his UFC debut after being known for restoring his car on Pimp My Brazilian ride...thought I was going somewhere else with that, didn't ya? I'm gonna choose this as my upset pick. I think Prado adds to the Brazilian winners of the night and KO's Davis in the first round.
Cole Miller vs. Nam Phan
Slight underdog Nam Phan is my pick here. I really like this guy. I think his future is bright. I dig his technical style and I think it will work well for him here. Phan by decision. Not a huge upset.
Manny Gamburyan vs. Michihiro Omigawa
I like this fight, should be fun. Omigawa I hold dear to my heart because he's a one-time Pride fighter and a Dream veteran. Gamburyan is 2-5 in the UFC and Omigawa is 1-5. Neither guy has had much luck, but I'm pulling for Omigawa, which means if he's a Pride guy, he won't win if he isn't supposed to (See Takanori Gomi, Wanderlei Silva, Mikro Cro-Cop).
There are three more fights on this card but #YourFightsDontMatterYet. To the Oli Thompson's, Josh Grispi's and Ulysses Gomez's of the world, do what others like Diego Sanchez, Clay Guida and Urijah Faber have done before you...win fights on free cable. You'll be a legend before you know it!
Also, UFC is debuting the Ref Cam. I found an awesome highlight video of some of the more spectacular moments caught in our wonderful sport while the referee wore this ridiculously huge device. Please take the time to check out the video, it's MMA like you've never seen it before!
More stuff I wanted to hit on, but I'll save it for my next article. It's a comparison piece between Chris Weidman and Mike Trout. Mike Trout is definitely going to win the American League Rookie of the Year and possibly the MVP award. Except he isn't asking for a World Series Fight against Anderson Silva. Chris Weidman is. Chill out rook, your day will come.
Also, a new show on NuVo TV is premiering on August 15th called Fight Factory. It follows around the controversial American Kickboxing Academy gym coaches and fighters, and really delves into the MMA day-to-day. This is what really happens, nothing like The Ultimate Fighter. Check your local listings for that. I highly recommend it. Really cool concept that's long overdue.

(Warning: I don't know how to link pictures so that they're expandable and more conveinient to look at that way so please be tolerant... hehe)
If you followed the game, you probably know there were things called "activities" that would be available for players to play at launch. They would maybe come with a leaderboards or aesthetic prizes for winning or whatever, and were meant to be plain, idle, social fun for players to change up the pace of gameplay. The only one that did manage to get added so far is Keg Brawl with the temporary additions of "Reaper's Rumble" and "Lunatic Inquisition" during the Halloween event. There were 30 planned for launch, 5 in each capital city.
The following's a pre-launch interview about activities and things and such of that relative interest
Interviewer guy person dude: "Alright. Because I was thinking about, you brought up the bar brawl, for example Funcom had something like that planned for Age of Conan, and I'm not sure that made it in at launch. Is there any risk that something similar would happen to the activities? Or is it an integral part of the game experience in itself?"
And then John Stume came up like a wild Pokemans and he was all like: "These are getting built into the game itself, they will be there at launch. They are not something that we will tack on later, they are part of the cities."
The underlined part's what I'm focusing on. Idk why or how they got delayed and I don't really care to think about it. The good part is that it's clear a lot of effort has gone into them already and it's highly unlikely that they won't be implemented in the future.
You can visually see the idle locaitons where these activities will be held in game, right now. This is the entire list of what I could physically find so far. I will update if and when I find more. And probably bump the thread too cause I'm that guy.
Please NOTE: I do NOT count certain things as activities, such as the Golem chess in Metrica province or the Diving Board in Lion's Arch. These are specific and active particapatory items inside capital cities that are unique to those capital cities alone, like initially stated.
Divinity's Reach: This one was rather conveinent. If you talk to the Carnival Workers, they will point you to the different activities with the exception of the Smash Em Up which is a big obvious tent cause obvious tent is obvious. Duh.
Black Citadel
The Grove:
Rata Sum
Lion's Arch
That border look familiar to anyone else...?
I'll add more if and when I find them. If you find any that I missed, feel free to post about it and I'll update the OP. I want more people to know about these things so more people can be excited about these things because these things are awesome!

I didn't bother to read the whole post but ANet said some time ago they stop developing those things to focus on more important partys of the game. I doubt we will see any new activity besides some event related ones for many months.
Originally posted by QSatu
I know, just sort of wanted to point out that we can start figuring out what these are already. I, for the life of me, couldn't find any posts from ArenaNet or any fan made posts giving a full list of the confirmed activities.
After this little exploring expedition I went on, I had found out 3 of them for the first time myself. It's mostly for the speculation for people who enjoy that kind of thing. I've sunk 50+ hours into Keg Brawl so it's easy for me to say that the thought of some of these games excites me.

Thanks for sharing your finds, I appreciate it :D
I know ANET is working on other stuff but smaller things in the pipeline (Like mini games) usually come out so its very likely we will see alot of what you are showing here.
I really wanna see what/when they for the next boxed expansion...although I still have alot to do in game before then >.< lol

I might make another speculation thread talking about how good for the game it'd be if they went through a social update and got all this stuff into the game along with the many dozens of emotes that are half in.
People claim the game's "antisocial" but I've made 20 friends playing only Keg Brawl alone, so if being able to create songs and basically form your own orchestral group while people sit idle, chat and enjoy isn't social then my life is a banana.

Anyhoo yeah the other speculation thread about upping the other social activities in game will probably get a solid reception on the official GW2 forums.
Alright guys, I put a similar thread up on the main GW2 forums; check it out here.
I shopped it down so it's a bit less colorful and half as likely to get me infracted on their forums, lol.

A ban on wheelies goes too far
Illinois legislators aren't keen on wheelies.
It seems a lot of big-shot lawmakers aren't.
By now, most alert consumers of news and entertainment have chuckled over the many reports on the spate of new laws, many of them a bit oddball, taking effect in various locales across the country in 2013.
For instance (according to stories from Reuters, ABC News, the Christian Science Monitor and several other sources):
• In Wellington, Kan., the city will restrict the number of cats per household to four, prompting many of Wellington's crazy cat ladies to warn, "You can have Poof-Poof, Mr. Sprinkles, Whisker Doodle and their 67 brothers and sisters when you pry them from my cold, dead and partially consumed fingers."
• In North Carolina, it is now a misdemeanor to steal used cooking oil, but a felony if the grease is valued at more than $1,000, which makes robbing a KFC an even riskier proposition.
• In California, correction officers and law enforcement officials are now prohibited from having romantic encounters with prisoners during transport. I suppose, up until the stroke of midnight on Dec. 31, if the prison van was a-rockin'...
New laws cover everything from self-driving cars to the rerelease of feral hogs into the wilderness (the first one is OK, the second one is not, according to state statues), but the one that caught my attention was the Illinois wheelie ban.
For those unfamiliar with the term "wheelie," Merriam-Webster defines it as "a maneuver in which a wheeled vehicle (as a bicycle) is momentarily balanced on its rear wheel or wheels." I was so amused that Merriam-Webster defined the word "wheelie" that I began looking up other funny words, falling far behind on this column but learning a valuable tidbit: Merriam-Webster does not define "badonkadonk."
Illinois isn't so much concerned with bicycles popping wheelies as speeding motorcycles performing the maneuver.
"If the motorcycle is driving down the road riding a wheelie and they are exceeding the speed limit, it is a minimum $100 fine," Illinois State Police Trooper Dustin Pierce told WEEK-TV. "There's court costs on top of that which can bring the fine amount up to close to $400 in most counties in this area."
I was curious. Do other government entities ban wheelies?
They sure do, I learned in my research after looking up several additional words on the Merriam-Webster website.
States and towns, even some entire countries, outlaw the maneuver and penalties range from careless and reckless driving citations to being flogged on the town square by a local magistrate in a powdered wig, but maybe not that last one.
Still, there are dire legal consequences in many areas for the sweet, sweet maneuver that I have performed — both successfully and unsuccessfully — on every motorized two-wheeled vehicle I have ever ridden, from four horse-power mini bikes to dirt bikes to a weird little mid-60s Harley-Davidson Sprint that ran occasionally.
I gave all that up early in my marriage when my wife said she wanted a husband and not an organ donor and now have nothing on two wheels except for a worn-out bicycle with squeaky brakes, but I remain a fan of the wheelie.
I'm just glad Evel Knievel isn't around to witness this War on Wheelies. It would break his heart, much as horrific crashes broke 35 bones in his body during his daredevil career, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
Today, I am forming a new organization, the International Association of Wheelie Enthusiasts, and booking our annual convention at the United Center in Chicago, which will pump millions of dollars into the city and state economies, and promptly cancelling it as a protest against the state's oppressive wheelie laws.
It's time to take a stand. Poof-Poof, Mr. Sprinkles, Whisker Doodle and their 67 brothers and sisters agree wholeheartedly.

Medical Home Recognition & Accreditation Programs
Several organizations have developed or in the process of developing programs that recognize and/or accredit various health care organizations as medical homes according to specified sets of standards.
In March 2011, four organizations representing more than 350,000 primary care physicians developed joint Guidelines for Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition and Accreditation Programs . The guidelines—created by the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American College of Physicians (ACP), and the American Osteopathic Association (AOA)—build on the Joint Principles of the Patient-Centered Medical Home , which the four groups developed and adopted in February 2007. Please click here for the AAP Press Release about the joint guidelines.
Patient-Centered Medical Home (PCMH) Recognition Program
There have been several important changes to the content of the PCMH 2014 from PCMH 2011 including:
NCQA will be hosting a large number of PCMH 2014 seminars, explaining the new standards and how they differ from those of 2011 and 2008. For more information visit the NCQA PCMH 2014 standards Web site.
Patient Centered Health Care Home Programs
URAC's PCHCH program ranges from voluntary education and self-assessment to comprehensive on-site validation of the range of processes and management functions leading to a URAC PCHCH Achievement. URAC's PCHCH Standards are developed to align with the dimensions of the Institute of Medicine's (IOM) Six Aims of Quality Health Care. The URAC PCHCH Program includes five products:
Primary Care Medical Home Option
The current PCMH Certification Option complements the Ambulatory Care Accreditation Program, and includes an additional 52 PCMH-specific requirements covering 5 key operational characteristics. A Self-Assessment Tool is available so organizations can review these requirements and determine if they would like to apply to receive this optional certification. Distinguishing features of the Joint Commission's PCMH Certification Option include:
For more information about which accredited organizations have received the PCMH certification, comparisons to other qualifying programs, a copy of the Self Assessment Tool, and other materials, visit the Joint Commission Web site.
Medical Home Accreditation/Certification
The AAAHC also offers offer on-site certification surveys for organizations seeking medical home accreditation. Accreditation consists of a survey of practice staff, the facility, equipment, medical procedures and coordination and Quality of care procedures. The AAAHC medical home surveys are unique in that they are peer-based; they are conducted by professionals who are experienced ambulatory health care providers. During the actual survey, AAAHC works with providers/practices collaboratively and consultatively to assure that patients receive high-quality care consistent with AAAHC standards for the ideal medical home model.

As it is that time of the year again when the Mumbai Film Festival invites young Mumbaikars to make a short film on the essence of the city, we decided to highlight the journey of Chinmay Dalvi whose short film Bombay Snow won a Special Mention in Dimensions Mumbai Short Film Competition 2011.
Bombay Snow, a poignant story of a migrant laborer in Mumbai ( read here) which was discovered at the Mumbai Film Festival last year went on to win the Best Short Film award at the 12th New York Indian Film Festival 2012 and the Best Short Fiction award at the 5th International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala 2012.
"Dimensions Mumbai is a very good platform to show your work to people," says
Dalvi, the Mumbai-born youngster with a passion to explore the social reality around him through the camera. "If someone likes your work, then they may help you to sell your short film or let you work with them as an assistant director or something," he adds.
The Dimensions Mumbai Jury in 2011 was headed by Kiran Rao and comprised Vikramaditya Motwane, Nishikant Kamat, Onir and Renuka Shahane. This was Dalvi's second attempt at the short film competition that won him a Jury Special Mention. His short film Hum Sab Ek hai was selected in Dimensions Mumbai in 2010.
Dalvi has assisted on many documentaries and short films since then and is now planning to join a film school.

Leaks have been coming out of the woodwork these past few days and it seems the boys over at RootzWiki have managed to secure a leaked email and PDF confirming the much rumored December 9th launch date for the Galaxy Nexus. This pretty much coincides with what we've been hearing from our sources (although we've gotten more than a few emails stating December 15th is the new Dec 9th).
Judging by the wording of the email and PDF this almost seems like a rush job. Stores will apparently be getting their shipments on December 6th, just three days before the big launch with demo units already hitting some stores complete with Ice Cream Sandwich packaging (image below: courtesy of Droid-Life). My question is will the Galaxy Nexus even receive a well deserved big launch, or will it just happen to pop up into stores without an ad spot or major announcement from Verizon? Only a few more days until we find out…

Sorry City are given the Shakes by ten-man Ebbsfleet
Posted: February 18, 2012|
MATCH REPORT: Bath City 2 (Jones 62, S Canham 90+7) Ebbsfleet United 3 (Pinney 8, Shakes 80, Ugwu 90+1)
Ten-man Ebbsfleet United scored two breakaway goals inside the last ten minutes to push rock-bottom Bath City closer to the drop.
The home side had recovered from conceding a woeful early goal to draw level and were looking to capitalise on a red card for visiting keeper Preston Edwards when they committed too many men forward, allowing sub Ricky Shakes to restore Ebbsfleet's lead.
Gozie Ugwu then punished a poor back pass to make it 3-1 in the 90th minute, meaning Sean Canham's fine strike in the seventh minute of injury-time was little consolation.
It was the latest in a long line of 'if onlys' for City, who squandered several chances and had a clear penalty turned down before succumbing to a 20th defeat of the season.
It was a must-win game for City, as evidenced by Adie Britton's decision to deploy strikers Lee Phillips and Canham in the starting line-up for the first time since November 5.
Gethin Jones and Lewis Hogg also came into the team, at the expense of Paul Stonehouse and Marc Canham, while new signing Tommy Doherty had to make do with a place on the bench.
However, despite making a positive start to the game, City once again found themselves facing an uphill battle as they once again gifted the opposition a soft goal.
Just eight minutes had gone when an Ebbsfleet attack ended with a mis-hit shot running tamely through to Glyn Garner. The keeper dived on the ball, only to watch in horror as it squirmed under his body on the slippery surface, allowing Gozie Ugwu to tee up Nathaniel Pinney for a simple finish into the empty net.
It was the latest in a long line of defensive calamities for City, who have kept just one clean sheet in the Blue Square Bet Premier this season.
The rest of the half was like Groundhog Day for City as well, as they went on to have the better possession and opportunities without being able to forge an equaliser.
Sean Canham was flagged offside when he tapped home Marley Watkins' cross-shot at the back post, while both Hogg and Phillips sliced shots wide with just the keeper to beat after the ball had deflected perfectly into their paths.
Andy Gallinagh also saw an eight-yard volley ricochet over from a corner, while City could feel very aggrieved not to have been given a penalty when shaky Ebbsfleet keeper Edwards seemed to bring down Phillips in the box.
Adding to City's frustrations was the fact that referee Wayne Barratt had awarded a very dodgy injury-time penalty against them last month for Braintree, which robbed Britton's men of a vital victory.
Ebbsfleet threatened occasionally on the break and almost doubled their lead when, from a set-piece, the ball broke for Calum Willock but Garner made some amends for his earlier error by producing an outstanding block at the striker's feet.
City came out for the second half early, aware of its importance, and had another sight of goal in the 51st minute when Watkins' drilled cross found Sean Canham unmarked at the back post. However, he attempted to chest the ball down but saw it squirm away from him and go out for a goal-kick.
The equaliser finally arrived in the 62nd minute. Phillips' shot was deflected behind for a corner, which was swung into the box by Hogg. Ebbsfleet could only clear the ball back to the City midfielder, whose teasing cross was emphatically headed home by Jones.
And City were really handed the initiative five minutes later when visiting keeper Edwards was sent off in a needless incident. Moments after Ebbsfleet had a couple of penalty appeals waved away, Sean Canham went down in the centre circle.
While the striker was receiving treatment, Edwards raced out of his box to remonstrate with the referee. He also appeared to throw a punch at a City player and was immediately shown a red card.
Ebbsfleet took off Liam Enver-Marum and sent on replacement keeper Tom McNeil, who was almost beaten by Adam Connolly's dipping volley within minutes of coming on the pitch.
City had an even better chance to take the lead 12 minutes from time when Hogg's dangerous corner dropped inside the six-yard box but was prodded just wide by Mark Preece during a melee.
However, City's desire to grab a winner ended up costing them another goal. Right-back Sekani Simpson did brilliantly to get to the byline and put in a cross which evaded everyone.
Ebbsfleet immediately launched the ball into the space Simpson had left free and Shakes - just three minutes after coming on as a substitute - burst clear before smashing an unstoppable shot into the bottom corner.
And Ugwu inflicted more misery in stoppage time when he latched onto a poor back pass and rounded Garner before rolling the ball into the empty net.
There was seven minutes of injury-time played in total, with Canham pulling one back with virtually the last kick of the game after being teed up by Shephard.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that the Wisconsin Department of Justice (DOJ), along with the Attorneys General of 36 other states and the District of Columbia, entered into a settlement with Google Inc. concerning misleading representations about the privacy of web browsing while using certain Safari Web browsers during 2011 and 2012. Specifically, the States alleged that Google misled users of Apple's Safari Web browser into believing that their browsing would be private, when in fact Google was circumventing Safari's default privacy settings.
Google, the most popular search engine on the Internet, generates revenue primarily through advertising. Through its DoubleClick advertising platform, Google sets third-party cookies -- small files set in consumers' Web browsers -- that enable it to gather information about those consumers, including, depending on the type of cookie, their Web surfing habits. Apple's Safari Web browser is set by default to block third-party cookies, including cookies set by DoubleClick to track a consumer's browsing history.
Google had been offering consumers the ability to opt out of having third-party advertising cookies set on their browsers through installing an advertising cookie opt-out plugin. On its Web page describing that advertising cookie opt-out plugin, Google represented to consumers using Apple's Safari Web browser ("Safari users") that "Safari is set by default to block all third-party cookies. If you have not changed those settings, this option effectively accomplishes the same thing as setting the opt-out cookie."
However, from June 1, 2011 until February 15, 2012, Google altered its DoubleClick coding to circumvent those default privacy settings on Safari, without consumers' knowledge or consent, enabling it to set DoubleClick cookies on consumers' Safari Web browsers. Google disabled this coding method in February 2012 after the practice was widely reported on the Internet and in media.
Google's representations about its privacy settings were misleading to Safari users because it suggested, in its description of the advertising cookie opt-out plugin, that they would not receive third-party cookies, when Google subsequently took steps to circumvent Safari's default settings for the purpose of setting third-party cookies. By circumventing Safari's default settings, Google placed cookies on the computers of Safari users without the consumers' knowledge or consent. The state alleged that Google's representations that third-party cookies were blocked for Safari users was misleading, thereby violating Wisconsin's consumer protection statutes.
"Consumers using the Internet are entitled to accurate information about the privacy of their Internet browsing, including the tracking of their activity through the placement of cookies or otherwise. Misrepresenting that tracking will not occur, when that is not the case, is unacceptable, as this settlement emphasizes," Attorney General Van Hollen said.
In order to resolve the states' allegations, Google has agreed to pay the participating states and the District of Columbia $17 million, of which Wisconsin will receive $336,088.06. Google also agreed to do the following:
· Not deploy the type of code at issue in this matter to override a browser's cookie blocking settings without the consumer's prior consent unless it is necessary to do so in order to detect, prevent or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues;
· Not misrepresent or omit material information to consumers about how they can use any particular Google product, service, or tool to directly manage how Google serves advertisements to their browsers;
· Improve the information it provides to consumers regarding cookies, their purposes, and how they can be managed by consumers using Google's products or services and tools;
· Maintain systems designed to ensure the expiration of the third-party cookies set on Safari Web browsers while their default settings had been circumvented.
In addition to Wisconsin, the following states participated in the investigation and settlement: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Connecticut, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington.

You start out with 5 GB and pay $0.05/MB over that.
So $1000 in fees plus 5 GB plan equals about 25,000 MB

Wow! I've just returned from a super lunchtime meal at what is sure to become my new favorite neighborhood restaurant. Ordered 2 simple salads - spinach/bacon and shrimp/fava bean. The quality of the ingredients was outstanding and the preparation was superb. Even the bread on the table was great. The chocolate mousse dessert was a true mousse, not chocolate pudding with some whipped cream added. The atmosphere is lovely and you'll feel at home if you're on a date (like I was), in a group, or by yourself. Try it...you'll like it!

I consider myself a tough critic of food, but was very impressed with Pisticci. The food is well executed and extremely tasty. The only complaint I have is with the service. The gentleman that waited on me was subpar, and made me not want to return. I suppose I will, but I hope that I am waited on by someone better.

The atmosphere is excellent, enough light but not too bright or garish. It has a tinge of the university-academic aura. The Penne Pisticci is the most delectable gastronomical delight i have tasted in New York. All in all, the best Italain food in NY

We've been going to Pisticci since its first days -- and its only gotten better. We love the fresh pasta, and the chocolate mousse is always a treat. They are always friendly -- over the years its gotten more crowded so its important to make a reservation.

Pisticci is my favourtie restaurant in NYC and I go there about once a month. If there is a probelm with the restaurant, it is that they do not ever seem to change their menu (they have specials, but those tend to be more expensive). All of their dishes are excellent (that I have tried). My girlfriend and I are both vegetarian and we always order the pasta with muchrooms and truffle oil, garlic bread, artichoke with lemon sauce. For dessert, I always get their incredible coconut cake (one of the best deserts I have ever had). Pisticci's service is pretty good and the restaurant is quite charming. You will not be dissapointed if you go!

I have been to this restaurant twice now and it is a new favorite. The food is delicious - I love the dish with the fresh pasta and the lamb ragu with a generous dollop of creamy ricotta cheese - to die for! I wish I lived in the neighborhood so that I could frequent it more often but I'll definitely take the time to make the trip here (from further north). Definitely check this place out - the atmosphere is cozy and great for a date or catching up with friends.

« June 2007 | Main | August 2007 »
A flurry of unsolicited questions came in on Friday, including two "please review my blog" letters, and a "please review my book" package. (For the record, I'm totally useless at reviewing your blog, sorry.)
One person was very honest and asked, "Is my blog boring?"
If you need to ask, you probably know the answer.
The mistake most blogs and books make: they are about the writer, not the reader.
Years ago, a friend (a former judge) wrote a thriller. It was based on a true story that actually happened to him. It was terrible. Why? The fact that it had actually happened was interesting to him, but the typical reader didn't care at all. That's because the typical reader didn't know him.
The things that fascinate you about your life are almost always banal to strangers. Strangers want to read about their lives, not yours. And guess what? The same thing is true about prospects and customers and just about anything you can imagine marketing.
Today, in Brooklyn, I passed a woman wearing a large red t-shirt. It said, in full, "Celebrate Life with Ketchup." [Mystery solved! it's a reference to Prairie Home Companion. Thanks, guys].
And last week, in the middle of a crosswalk (18th and 8th Ave., I think) I passed this item, embedded in the asphalt in the middle of the street. [Piet points us to the answer].
I'm as mystified as you.
The last marketing mystery is a bonus more than a mystery. The iconic Pinkberry yogurt chain is racing across America as fast as it can, open places hither and yon. The front of the store features a variety of almost illegible bits of marketing froth, accompanied by exactly one image that is clear. So clear, you can read it across the street. Of course I ignored it, but the question is, why? Is it a deliberate attempt to attract interest by forbidding people to share what they see? Or is it some security-theatre minded person run amok?
I stopped by a garage sale today. The guy had thousands of CDs, most of them in their wrappers. $3 each. I was excited.
Two boxes in, I felt like I was in a different universe. Every single artist was someone I had never heard of. After 25 years of buying CDs (a lot of CDs) I had come face to face with a huge Dip. It's almost impossible to buy music with no frame of reference. There were no hits, no recommendations, no "if you like x, you'll like y". I realized that the time it would take to decide if I liked an album was probably worth more than the $3 it would cost to buy one--in other words, not even worth it for 'free.'
Musicians, bloggers, writers--if you're toiling in the long tail, getting stuck at zero is now a real possibility. Being just like the other guys but trying harder is less of an effective strategy than ever before.
By now, the Harry Potter hype machine has told you all about the pre-shipped copies, the scanned book and the spoilers. No doubt it'll sell a few copies, and no doubt the reported $20 million on security (not to mention fedex expense) was both useful and ineffective.
The interesting thing for me is how the Net changes what it means for something to be a secret. Five hundred year old technology (books) is just too slow for the Net. The act of printing, storing and shipping millions of books takes too long for a secret to ever be in a book again.
My solution? A hybrid. Publish the first edition of the book without the last three chapters. Take your time, save the $20 million. Every purchaser then gets access (hey, everyone gets access) to the last three chapters on launch day.
Books are souvenirs. No one is going to read Potter online, even if it's free. Holding and owning the book, remembering when and how you got it... that's what you're paying for. Books are great at holding memories. They're lousy at keeping secrets.
If you want to hire a union organizer, you probably know what to look for. Someone with resilience, passion, persistence and excellent interpersonal skills.
What if you want to hire someone to build an online community? Somebody to create and maintain a virtual world in which all the players in an industry feel like they need to be part of it? Like being the head of a big trade association, but without the bureaucracy and tedium...
It would help if that person understood technology, at least well enough to know what it could do. They would need to be able to write. But they also have to be able to seduce stragglers into joining the group in the first place, so they have to be able to understand a marketplace, do outbound selling and non-electronic communications. They have to be able to balance huge amounts of inbound correspondence without making people feel left out, and they have to be able to walk the fine line between rejecting trolls and alienating the good guys.
Since there's no rule book, it would help to be willing to try new things, to be self-starting and obsessed with measurement as well.
If you were great at this, I'd imagine you'd never ever have trouble finding good work.
Well, most of us anyway.
This terrific article about a study of eBay buyers and sellers proves it. In some categories, more than 40% of the auctions went for more than the Buy it Now price. Hmmmm. Two tips from the end:
- Set low opening prices. When choosing between identical items, buyers seem to favor whichever auction has the most bids. The best way to grab early bids: Start with a cheap price. By the time a $1 DVD auction reaches $10, it will probably attract more newcomers than a DVD that started at $10.
- Don't use secret reserves. A study of online auctions with and without hidden minimum prices showed that many buyers steer clear of items with a secret opening price. It's like that old shopping joke, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you can't afford it."
If you've ever written a direct mail letter, you've probably agonized. "One more sentence," you wonder, "this might just be the one." After all, direct mail has a job to do... you send the letter and you get the sale (or you don't.) Making it longer and more powerful and more complete are all essential tasks.
Brochures are a bit different. Brochures rarely lead to a sale. They lead to a sales call. So a brochure has to be engaging and hopefully viral. But its only job is to keep you in the running, not end in a transaction.
Email (sent with permission) has a different function. Its job is to get a response. To move a conversation forward, to help you learn a little bit about the person you're engaging with.
If your emails read like direct mail letters or look like brochures, you're wasting time and effort.
If you send out an email newsletter, you may have experienced the hassle of being blacklisted from an ISP or web service. The asymmetrical nature of spam makes this particularly painful--professional spammers don't mind being blacklisted, because they regularly switch identities. It's the good guys (and the amateur spammers) who get hassled.
Here's a lens that can help good guys navigate their way through the issue.
Everybody knows that the big winner during the 1849 gold rush was a guy named Strauss, who made jeans (he changed his first name along the way). He figured that he might not find gold, but everybody needed pants. Win or lose, he won.
If you want to really understand what's going on with copyright and digital rights and all the fights about YouTube and radio, etc., it helps to think about Levi. It's not personal. It's just about billable hours.
Fred points out that the music industry is working to cripple internet radio without thinking the strategy through. Many others have reported getting notes from various lawyers that seem more like fishing expeditions than serious efforts to patrol copyrights. I even got a letter from Abbot and Costello's lawyer.
Watch the money.
In most of these cases, the lawyers get paid by the hour. A copyright holder pays a retainer and the associates just churn and churn and churn. They've got a form letter and a whois lookup and they send out another letter. That's their job. Not to win, but to keep the cycle moving. It's a bit like selling jeans.
Nine times out of ten, regardless of the industry, strategy is a byproduct of a series of tactics.

Planned Parenthood has produced a video to teach teen children how to engage in bondage, dominance, and sadomasochism (BDSM), CNS News reported yesterday. The video was produced by Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, which received $2.75 million in taxpayer funding in 2012.
CNS describes the video as, "a video specifically aimed at teenagers that promotes bondage and sadomasochism (BDSM) and proposes "rules" to follow when engaging in these activities."
"People sometimes think that those who practice BDSM are emotionally scarred or were once abused—not true, it's a total myth," the host of the video, Laci Green, informs its intended audience of teens, "BDSM relies upon and creates trust," she says.
"For teens who are sexually involved, Planned Parenthood is committed to providing resources for safeguarding their emotional and physical health," the website says.
Wikipedia defines BDSM as, "Regardless of its origin, BDSM is used as a catch-all phrase to include a wide range of activities, forms ofinterpersonal relationships, and distinct subcultures. BDSM communities generally welcome anyone with a non-normative streak who identifies with the community; this may include cross-dressers, extreme body mod enthusiasts, animal players, latex or rubber aficionados, and others."
The video is part of what PPNNE refers to as "an innovative social education project" that is titled "A Naked Notion." The YouTube channel for this project has been viewed one million times, PPPNE claims.
"A Naked Notion is a brand new project dedicated to frank, open conversations about sexuality," says the PPNNE webpage for the program. "It stars sex educator Laci Green and is brought to you by Planned Parenthood of Northern New England."

Low/no/reduced sodium NPD claims decline despite salt concerns
Despite increased awareness about the risks of too much sodium in consumers' diets and pledges from governments around the world to reduce salt levels in food, products with low/no/reduced sodium claims have seen some decline over the past years according to new findings from Mintel. Globally, launches of foods with low/no/reduced sodium claims declined 5 percent over the 2010-2011 period, appearing on just 2 percent of total food launches in 2011.
Chris Brockman, global food and drink analyst at Mintel, said:
"A large percentage of the global food industry remains wary of the commercial impacts of reducing salt in their products. This anxiety is well-founded, with many products positioned as low sodium forced off the shelves prematurely in recent years due to poor sales. Manufacturers struggled to find workable salt substitutes, forcing many to rapidly pull them from the market. Efforts are being made to offer consumers alternatives to sodium. However, existing salt replacements have not caught the imagination of consumers. Consumers are concerned about salt intake, but are not willing to compromise on taste."
Indeed, according to Mintel's Global New Products Database (GNPD) Europe remains the most active region in terms of product innovation, covering the same percentage in 2011 (35 percent) as the year before of new product launches carrying low/no/reduced sodium claims compared to 39 percent back in 2007. North America follows with 26 percent share of the global market in 2011 as opposed to 32 percent in 2010 and 28 percent in 2007. While APAC comes third covering 19 percent of new launches in 2011, vs. 18 percent in 2010 and 19 percent in 2007.
In Europe, 3 percent of all new food products introduced in 2011 in the UK carried a low/no reduced sodium claim, a higher percentage than other key European markets with the exception of Netherlands, where 9 percent of all new products had the same claim. For France the figure stood at 2 percent in 2011; for Spain 1.4 percent. Italy and Germany were somewhat lower, at just 1 pecent each.
"The Netherlands was higher mainly because of the food industry's Ik Kies Bewust ("I choose consciously") campaign featuring on-pack logos to indicate new or reformulated products that are low in sugar, sodium and saturated fat," Chris Brockman explains.
Over in Asia Pacific, New Zealand took the lead, with 3 percent of all new food products in 2011 labeled as low/no/reduced sodium followed by Australia with 2 percent. Other market activity in the region included Thailand with 1.2 percent, South Korea (0.8 percent) and Singapore (0.8 percent). In Japan, 0.7 percent of new product launches carried the claims, in Taiwan 0.7 percent, in China 0.5 percent and in Vietnam 0.4 percent.
And when it comes to consumer attitudes, according to Mintel's research some 54 percent of US consumers say they limit their use of packaged snacks and other packaged foods because they think they have too much salt or sodium, and 53 percent are concerned about the amount of salt or sodium in their diets. However, it seems consumers will not give up salt easily. In general, 49 percent of British consumers agree that "taste is more important to me than calories in food," while in the US, 60 percent of restaurant diners typically order what they want instead of what is healthy. Moreover, when it comes to products flavored with a non-sodium or salt alternative, almost half (46 percent) of consumers in the US think that they don't taste as good as their traditional counterparts. Similarly in the UK, only a relatively small proportion (22 percent) of consumers have purchased low salt products, and just 4 percent of consumers have cut back on table sauces because of health concerns.
"Brands will need to dispel widely held perception about low sodium or salt alternatives to be successful. Fortunately, this is possible. Many food brands are already introducing step-by-step salt reduction programs that gradually reduce the salt content of their products, a strategy often called 'stealth health,' as the incremental removal of sodium can be carried out over a period of time to help the consumer to become accustomed to the changed flavor profile, without the need to flag that up prominently on-pack and thus deter consumers who may perceive 'less taste.' Other brands are also steering clear of the health issue by experimenting with different flavor profiles, such as strong spices and vinegars, to enhance taste while eliminating sodium," Chris Brockman concludes.
Globally in 2011, snacks (16 percent) and sauces & seasonings (14 percent) have emerged as the most active categories in low/no/reduced sodium claims. While in response to concerns from parents toward their young children, the baby food category accounted for 12 percent of new products carrying the claim globally. While breakfast cereals and bakery accounted for 10 percent and 11 percent respectively, with 8 percent in dairy.
In the overall "minus" claim category, products positioned with low/no/reduced formulations such as reduced calories, fat, sugar or cholesterol, Mintel's GNPD shows a global decline of 10 percent over the year 2010-2011, with low/no/reduced calorie (-19 percent) and low/no/reduced carb products (-41 percent) seeing the biggest drop, followed by low/no/reduced sugar (-9 percent), low/no/reduced cholesterol (-9 percent) and low/no/reduced fat (-8 percent).
The findings also tie in to the Mintel Inspire trend "Fauxthenticity," which explores how food alternatives can become preferable to real versions, because they are variously healthier, greener or more affordable.
Richard Cope, principal trend analyst at Mintel, explains:
"Sometimes a fake alternative carries less risk than its authentic cousin, especially when it comes to something like alcohol. An option might be for manufacturers to explore tricking consumer taste buds and marketing foods that smell, as opposed to taste, salty. This is something we've seen food researchers investigate in our trend 'Fauxthenticity.' This has been the success story behind everything from B&Q's sales of fake grass, to sunless tanners and meat substitutes."

Skylord James
this wiki
|Skylord James
"At morning light our swords did clash...nothing left but bones and ash"
(Skylord Vitali on James' death)
Skylord James was a Skylord and resident of the Skyhold. He was secretly murdered by Israphel follower Skylord Vitali, who then hid his remains. Skylord James' tomb, along with other tombs, is discovered by Xephos, Honeydew and Skylord Lysander in "Shadow of Israphel" Part 29: The Cage. He was the only Skylord seemingly not killed by surprise, instead killed in a duel with Vitali.
Skylord James is never seen alive in the series, and very little is known about him. However based on the circumstances of his death he was likely one of the last to be murdered. His duel with Vitali seems to indicate he discovered Vitali's plot and was silenced before he could warn all of the (if any) remaining Skylords.
James seemed to be the more 'intelligent' of the Skylords as he was able to discover Vitali's plan. He also is likely one of the less experienced Skylords for he was unable to defeat Vitali in a duel.
Character PopularityEdit
In a poll that was held from January to February 2013 on this wiki with all Season 3 characters to choose from, Skylord James was placed equal 29th overall with 2 votes out of 4412 votes.

In an unexpected shakeup, the Private Equity Growth Capital Council announced on Tuesday that it has replaced its chief executive, Douglas Lowenstein, with Vice President of Government Affairs Steve Judge, who will serve as interim CEO as the trade group hunts for a new head.
"As the council continues to evolve and grow, this is the right time for new leadership. Steve and his team have the full support of the member firms, and we look forward to adding a proven executive who can lead the council into the next stage of its development," PEGCC Chairman Mark Tresnowski said in a statement.
The read between the lines, of course, is that Lowenstein is not the person positioned to take the private equity industry trade group into the future. Lowenstein, who who founded the group in 2007, will step down September 1.
Lowenstein declined an interview request, but said in the statement: "I am proud of all we accomplished, including building bridges between policymakers and the industry during some of the most challenging economic times in a generation.… With the PEGCC and the industry it serves in a far better place than when we started, now is a good time to step aside for new leadership."
Before PEGCC, Lowenstein founded and served as president of the Entertainment Software Association for 13 years.
PEGCC represents the private equity and growth capital investment industry and counts the Blackstone Group, Apollo Global Management, and the Carlyle Group among its members. Last year, the group spent $2.4 million on lobbying, with much of its efforts aimed at the Dodd-Frank Wall Street reform bill and combating an effort to increase the taxes that private equity managers pay on their compensation.

Photos of Mischa at Lindsay's Party At Cafe Opera have been added. This is the event that was announced back in March and was held in Stockholm. Also, big thanks to Katya from Rachel Bilson Web for helping with the photos.
John Guidetti, who plays for Manchester City but is from Stockholm, has been with Mischa for most of the events and activities surrounding Lindsay's Party (including an Ozzy Osbourne concert and racetrack driving). I guess that's why it's leading to a little tabloid fodder in the UK. Photos from these events are up on Twitter but should be added to the gallery later in the week.
As part of the press for Mischa's hosting duties for Linday's Party in Stockholm she called into a Swedish radio show. It seems the host has a thing for Jennifer Aniston which Mischa uses as a springboard for a little joke. It's a pretty funny clip!
Kenza's blog teased us with Mischa news yesterday,
and today the details emerge. It looks like Mischa will be hosting a big party/event called Lindsay's Party in Stockholm on May 26th, 2012. More information about the event is available on the website where you can also buy tickets if you plan on heading down. Kenza will be co-hosting the event alongside Mischa, with music provided by Alexandra Stan, Kate Ryan, Inna and DJ Antoine. It seems the concept of the party is to bring in a Hollywood influence (via Mischa) and mix that in with a summer dance party backed by DJs.
Lindsay's party is this year going to take place in the heart of Scandinavia, STOCKHOLM 26th of May.
There's going to be amazing Djs, performances, acts and happenings! So make yourself ready to start the summer @ Lindsay's Party! We gonna rock this place!
More info available at the official website of the event plus Facebook and Twitter.
The website also has a quote from Mischa regarding summer in Sweden:
I have never been to Sweden which is a great shame actually, I really look forward to come.
I've been told the summer is supposed to be quite spectacular in Sweden and I have seen so many beautiful things and people from your country as well.
I hear that you guys really knows how to party and I have high expectations regarding your sense for fashion and music.
When I got the opportunity to be involved in Lindsay's I just couldn't resist.
Let me know all the good things I shouldn't miss out on when I'm there!
Kenza also briefly comments on Mischa's involvement:
I was totally amazed about the project and idea behind Lindsay's Party, I mean to combine Live Acts, DJ:s and Hollywood is a brilliant idea to get a great party.
We also have so much in common between us, always aiming to get the most out of life and with Mischa bringing that extra Hollywood spark to it, Lindsay's Party is going to be like nothing else.
And finally, there were some BTS shots of Mischa shared via the Twitter page. Check them out here and follow @Lindsay_90210 for additional updates.

Back Squat
Metcon (Time)
1000 m Row
3 Rds
15 Push Ups
15 KB Swings (53/35)
15 Back Squat (135/95)
First time posting here, but I've been doing your WODs for a couple months now and have gotten a lot stronger through it so wanted to say thanks for the awesome programming!
I'm a couple days behind, but for this back squat strength workout, is it just up to us to decide the set / rep scheme or are we doing the 3 rounds of 3-2-1? Thanks!
Wasn't sure what to do for back squats… Followed Nick and did:
Back Squat 2 reps EMOM 10 min @ 165#
Metcon: 15:30
Row 1000m (subbed w/ 45# SDHP)
KBs @ 35#
Squats @ 65#
Great WOD. Definitely felt great after this one and had some energy level so I decided to run a mile as well so that I could work on my endurance/conditioning while I attacked legs in the strength & WOD as well.

The Foothills Theatre Company had audiences laughing it up in Clement Park over the weekend. Even if the jokes were 400 years old.
The troupe is in the midst of a two-week run of this year's Shakespeare in the Park production, "Twelfth Night." The show, which opened Friday in Grant Amphitheater, is one of the Bard's most well regarded comedies and is filled with cross-dressing, young lovers and several humorously inebriated gentlemen.

Dr. Dwayne Mercer is a native of Georgia. He and his wife, Pam, have three adult children and have served First Baptist Oviedo since 1993. Over the years the church has grown from 650 to 2,400 in worship attendance and over 4,000 new believers in Christ have been baptized. More than 1,000 have journeyed on short-term mission trips and First Baptist Oviedo has partnered with more than 25 different missionaries. Over 125 people have been called into full-time Christian service.
However, numbers only tell part of the story. The congregation has witnessed the results of spiritual growth in stewardship, service, unity, and a sense of mission. That mission led us to launch our East Orlando Campus in the fall of 2013. This is not a mission. It is a full extension of FBCO located approximately 11 miles east of Oviedo in the eastern part of Orlando. You can read more under the "About Us" tab.
Dr. Mercer has served as the President of the Florida Baptist Convention and is an active board member for a number of Southern Baptist agencies. He is the host and featured speaker on The Winning Edge which airs locally on WTGL-TV45 Goodlife Broadcasting. He has also published two books on prayer entitled, Getting God to Say Yes: 5 Keys to Answered Prayer and When God Says Yes.
Dr. Mercer received his Bachelor of Science degree from Toccoa Falls Bible College, Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary.

Sandia Park man indicted for stalking
A 22-year-old Sandia Park man was indicted by a Valencia County grand jury on aggravated stalking charges of his ex-girlfriend who deputies said he tried to kill in 2011.
Andrew Smoot was indicted on separate charges that include aggravated stalking and bribery of a witness, after deputies said he contacted ex-girlfriend Emilie Deans through email and Facebook, following a May 2011 incident where Smoot is alleged to have planned to set Deans' house on fire.
On May 25, 2011, Smoot told deputies he intended to set fire to the girl's home and had parked his Nissan Maxima with a bottle of lighter fluid on the trunk before a deputy saw the suspicious vehicle while on a routine patrol.
Deputies also found an open package of Latex gloves, an open package of face masks, anti-freeze and a package of steaks.
Smoot told deputies he intentionally soaked the steak with anti-freeze and threw it over the fence for the family's dog to ingest.
He said he wanted the dog to be incapacitated so he could approach the residence, according to court documents.
He is charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, one count of aggravated attempted arson, one count of aggravated stalking, one count of extreme cruelty to animals and one count of aggravated stalking.
Deputies said Smoot contacted Deans through email and Facebook while he was out on bond during a period from June 21, 2011 to May 1, 2012.
Smoot is alleged to have continued to harass the woman by using her information and hacking into her accounts and acting as if it were the girl.
Deputies said Smoot used spy software to hack into the girl's accounts to create messages and sent Deans numerous messages from different user names that told Deans she should leave Smoot alone.
In April, District Court Judge Richard Knowles revoked Smoot's conditions of release. His parents paid a $100,000 cash-only bond to release him.
According to Chris Marquez, pre-trial services officer, Smoot must wear an ankle bracelet as part of his standard conditions of release.
Marquez said Smoot cannot come into Valencia County without permission since Deans resides in the area.
Smoot must stay on the northeast side of Albuquerque, where his parents live. He is required to stay in that particular zone at all times.
His latest indictment includes: one count of aggravated stalking, one count of bribery of a witness, one count of tampering with evidence, 10 counts of computer abuse by entering false data and one count of obtaining a person's identity by electronic fraud.

No. 14 Nittany Lions Hosts Big Ten Championships on Saturday
March 21, 2014
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; March 21, 2014 - The Nittany Lions claimed a second place showing at the Big Ten Quad Meet in Ann Arbor last weekend and will compete in the evening session of the 2014 Big Ten Women's Gymnastics Championships on their home floor on Saturday, March 22.
This will be the fourth time in conference history that Penn State's historic Recreation Building will host. The Big Ten title was also handed out at Rec Hall during the 1994, 2000 and 2007. In all three of those championships, Penn State has finished second to Michigan.
Penn State will begin the postseason on their home floor, hosting the 2014 Big Ten Women's Gymnastics Championships on March 22. The Nittany Lions will join Illinois, Minnesota and Nebraska in the 5 p.m. session of the championships, while Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State will all compete at Noon inside Rec Hall. Both sessions will be aired live on the Big Ten Network.
Last weekend, the Nittany Lions scored 49.025 or better on all four events - the third time this season they have topped 49.00 on each apparatus - and claimed a 196.475 team score to finish just behind No. 13 Minnesota's 196.700.
Penn State was shutout of an event title for the first time all season at the Big Ten Quad, as the Nittany Lions have won 30 individual event crowns this season. Twelve of those titles have come outright and 18 of them have been ties. Penn State also has four all-around titles to their credit - three of those belonging to Kassidy Stauder and one for Sidney Sanabria Robles.
The trio of senior Kassidy Stauder and juniors Sidney Sanabria-Robles and Krystal Welsh all earned All-Big Ten recognition from the conference office on Tuesday. Stauder was an All-Big Ten First Team selection after leading the conference on the balance beam and ranking among the top five in the all-around.
On the All-Big Ten Second Team was Sanabria-Robles and Welsh. Sanabria-Robles ranks eighth in the conference in the all-around, while sitting among the top-20 performers on the vault, balance beam and floor exercise. Welsh is the No. 9 all-arounder in the conference and ranks among the top-20 in the Big Ten on the vault, uneven bars and floor exercise.
Freshmen Nicole Medvitz and Emma Sibson have both been major contributors for the Nittany Lions this season, as well. Medvitz has been a part of the team's balance beam lineup all season, ranking second on the team in the event. She also has a good scoring average on the uneven bars, competing in 10 of the team's 11 events. Sibson has made touches on three of the four apparatus this season and is the team's top performer on the vault. Her 9.975 on March 8 at New Hampshire ranks tied for fifth in school history.
The Nittany Lions will then host the 2014 NCAA Regional Championships on April 5 inside historic Rec Hall, looking to earn a trip to the 2014 NCAA Championships in Birmingham, Ala.
For information on purchasing 2014 Big Ten and NCAA Regional Championship tickets fans can visit http://www.gopsusports.com/tickets/w-gym-tickets.html or call 1-800-NITTANY weekdays from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.

Former MU player arraigned in court
HUNTINGTON -- Former Marshall University football player Antwon Rashard Chisholm was arraigned in Cabell County Magistrate Court late Tuesday afternoon.
Chisholm, 18, remained silent while his rights and the charge of first degree robbery were read to him. His bond was set at $100,000.
He was arrested on Interstate 81 near Greenville, Va., on Aug. 14. -- one day after a warrant was issued for his arrest.
Chisholm, a native of Bell Glade, Fla., and fellow former Marshall football player, Michael Fleurizard III are charged with robbing a Papa John's Pizza delivery man by placing him in a choke hold and taking the victim's keys, $20 cash, a cell phone and Papa John's product.
Chisholm, Fleurizard and former Marshall wide receiver Fred Pickett were dismissed from the Marshall University football team. When the players were released, coach Doc Holliday said the three had "not lived up to what we require of a Marshall University football player."
Chisholm was incarcerated at Western Regional Jail Tuesday evening. A preliminary hearing for Chisholm is set for 10:30 a.m. Sept. 1.

Onlyburger in Durham/RTP
Looking for a review of this burger truck? I saw it the other day but was just wondering what everyone thought of their food.
They are also getting a fixed location in Hope Valley Sq.
I tried them several months ago at Golden Belt during a third Friday. The burger and fries were really tasty. ISTR a thinner rather than thicker patty and thinner fries...may be wrong though. I do remember we all liked the food so much that we were very bummed when they were not at the next 3rd Friday we attended. Seems Golden Belt has an on-site food service now and they were providing chow in a tent outside. It was alright, but not as good as Onlyburger!
re: meatn3
Word on the street is that Only Burger is returning to Golden Belt for Third Fridays...or at least this next one on February 19. I know I will be there in line!
re: amsloan
That is great news! If we can go, we'll wait and eat there! I wonder what changed their position? The on-site people indicated that their contract only allowed them to offer food...glad that may not be the case.
re: Panski
Had a burger and fries after strolling around the farmers market in September. Good burger with a great slice of heirloom tomato and organic egg option. The burger itself is a thin, griddled variety on a soft bun. The beef is organic and grass-fed, but has a mild flavor. Thin, hand cut fries in peanut oil were tasty and had enough crunch. All in all, I thought the food was above average and a little better than five guys for point of reference.
re: veganhater
How is it that you know the beef is organic and grass-fed? You'd think they'd advertise that if it were so. There's no mention of it on their website and I've never seen it written on any of the whiteboard menus on or around the truck.
re: ToothTooth
I'm almost positive that the burgers are not grass fed or organic. Very tasty though......
re: chops
I remember them advertising as such. Maybe things changed or I am wrong, but a friend I was with at the farmer's market was telling me their whole story. He sold me on the provenance of their beef and I bought a burger even though I'd already had lunch. I'll do a little digging and find out if I've been mis-informed
re: veganhater
After a call to the truck, I found out they use Montana Ranch. All Natural beef with no added antibiotics. Grass fed in the summer, grain fed in the winter with no corn or animal by-product. They are not certified organic, but do adhere to organic agriculture principals. The advertising I remembered on the truck was All Natural Beef, not organic.
re: bbqme
I'm with you, bbqme. The Only Burger Truck's burgers are fine, but I think it's the thrill of getting stuff off the truck that seems to make them taste so much better. I think the Federal and Dain's make a different kind of burger though - meatier. For OB type burgers one could go to Cookout or Char-Grill.
