The official Blizzard post makes no mention of any updates for 2014, so as far as we can tell no additional love has been added to this holiday. We can confirm that the drops have not been upgraded and are still ilvl 480. That being the case, burgeoning lovers can check out 2013's Overachiever guide to all the achievements, pets, items and more that the holiday brings to players. And if you want to get your love on in the real world, check out this weekend's guide to making heart-shaped candy!
This is another of those fun holidays that sends you off a'hunting for the race-class combinations that elude the average player in order to shower them with rose petals for Fistful of Love. If you're one of the rarer race-class combinations, you can often peddle your services by agreeing to be showered with rose petals outside a faction capital. It's a tough job, but someone's got to do it.
But the most important thing, in my book, is to kill the three apothecaries on every character, every day, just for a chance at the Big Love Rocket from the heart-shaped box the bosses drop. I've got 14 90s. This year it's mine.

Water: Clean Water State Revolving Fund
Clean Water State Revolving Fund
25 Years of Investment in Our Nation's Water Infrastructure
Since its inception, the CWSRF program has served as the nation's largest water quality financing source, helping communities across the country meet the goals of the Clean Water Act by improving water quality, protecting aquatic wildlife, protecting and restoring drinking water sources, and preserving our nation's waters for recreational use.
In recent years, the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (CWSRF) programs provided, on average, more than $5 billion annually to fund water quality protection projects for wastewater treatment, nonpoint source pollution control, and watershed and estuary management. Over the last two and half decades, the CWSRFs have provided over $100 billion, funding more than 33,320 low-interest loans.
CWSRFs Offer:
- Low Interest Rates, Flexible Terms—Nationally, interest rates for CWSRF loans average 1.7 percent, compared to market rates that average 3.7 percent. For a CWSRF program offering this rate, a CWSRF funded project would cost 17 percent less than projects funded at the market rate. CWSRFs can fund 100 percent of the project cost and provide flexible repayment terms up to 20 years.
- Significant Funding for Nonpoint Source Pollution Control and Estuary Protection—To date, the CWSRF has provided nearly $4.2 billion in funding for nonpoint source projects and estuary management projects.
- Assistance to a Variety of Borrowers—The CWSRF program has assisted a range of borrowers including municipalities, communities of all sizes, farmers, homeowners, small businesses, and nonprofit organizations.
- Partnerships with Other Funding Sources—CWSRFs partner with banks, nonprofits, local governments, and other federal and state agencies to provide
the best water quality financing source for their communities.

Would you help me make a sentence with the word "decathlon" describing about a track and field competition?
1 Answer | Add Yours
"Dec" or "Deca" means 10. A decathlon is a competition comprised of 10 different track and field competitions. This winner is chosen by tallying the scores of each competition. The competitor who receives the highest score wins. An example sentence could be:
After all ten events, Amber received the highest score and was declared the winner of the decathlon.

Below is the poem entitled Senses be Still which was written by poet
Pennington. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
David Pennington
Where must senses run to be still.
Could it be that it is in the hills or maybe by the sea.
In the hills where the eagle soars and the white tail runs.
And I hold so dear to my heart the excitement of morning.
And the fresh taste of mountain air lays softly on my tongue.
As I walk on leaves fallen to the ground.
From the many trees of different kinds.
I listen to call of the nature oh senses do be still.
Now I hear the sound of waves whispering in my ear.
Slapping, lapping, crashing the beach.
Crawling up very close to my feet.
Returning to the waves as it tucks underneath.
As I listen to the waves oh senses be still.

- Designer: Carol Twombly

Hardy had Laurel, Fred had Barney and C3PO had R2D2. In 1994, Carol Twombly decided that her 1990, all-cap typeface, Charlemagne™, also needed a (lowercase) companion. As the design developed, however, it began to grow into a completely new typeface – with all new capital letters. The Nueva™ font, eventually evolved into a large and versatile typeface family.
Nueva HistoryOpen
Key to the Nueva font's distinct design is its high stroke contrast, and rounded character shapes. Arched characters, such as b, d, m, n, r, p and q, feature low connectors and tapering stems. The Nueva family includes condensed and extended versions in addition to the basic weights – each benefitting from an accompanying italic design.
The Nueva font is a typeface with calligraphic sensibilities, and the soul of a text face. It has evolved into much more than just a sidekick. It's a star, and a Super Family, in it's own right.
Licenses for desktop fonts
A typical desktop font EULA will allow you to install the font on your computer for use with authoring tools including word processors, design tools and other applications that permit font selection.

If a publication is updated and distributed to existing users, a new license is not required. However, updated versions issued to new customers are defined as new publications and require a separate license.Learn more about licenses for eBooks
Server licenses
Server licenses authorize the installation of a font on a server that is accessed by remote users or website visitors. These licenses are commonly used by Web-based businesses providing goods that are personalized by its users such as business cards, images with captions and personalized merchandise. Users are not allowed to download the font file and the font may not be used outside the server environment. The font may not be employed for a software as a service (SaaS) application in which the service is the actual product and not the means of providing the product.

George W. Bush No Longer Wants Fame Or Power
The 43rd President of the United States, George W. Bush, says he is tired of the spotlight and does not long for has had enough of fame and power.
"I don't long for [fame]. Nor do I long for power," Bush told The Huffington Post at his annual Warrior 100K bike race held at his Texas ranch. "I've come to realize that power can be corrosive if you've had it for too long. It can dim your vision.
"And so I came to the conclusion that, you know, I don't long for fame. And really, gonna shy away from it. Not shy away from it. Avoid it. I'm not very shy. Avoid it."
Considering he spearheaded two wars that left our country trillions of dollars in debt all while turning away from corruption on Wall Street that led to the worst economic collapse in the United States since The Great Depression, I can understand why he would want to avoid the spotlight.
Bush also gave his thoughts on his successor, President Barack Obama.
"I'm not surprised the president is having a difficult go," Bush said. "It's just amazing how history repeats itself."
History doesn't repeat itself; it's just a continuation of the mess you left President Obama with, Mr. Bush. Clichés aren't going to fix the problems in this country or let the people forget about the dastardly things you did!
I digress; we commend you, President Bush, for not continuing your terrorizing of the American political system, and we wish you the best as you ride off into the sunset.

I am a huge proponent of multiple monitor setups for developing. The more real estate I have, the more productive I am, and the happier I feel. Sure, it's hard to come up with metrics for this sort of thing, which is exactly why many companies (that aren't software companies, most of whom understand that hardware is cheap and brains are not) won't spring for extra monitors for their programmers. My current company is that kind of company. I even went so far as attempting to find ways to convince them to invest in things like multiple monitors and ReSharper, but have been so busy that I haven't been able to put Mr. MacIntyre's plan into action.
My boss, however, is quite reasonable about things like this, so much so that he went to an auction site and used his personal money to buy us each (there are only three of us right now, so he didn't have to shell out too much) an extra monitor as long as we were willing to chip in for the hardware needed to run it. We have the standard Dell low-profile desktop workstations with on-board video that only support one VGA monitor, and I didn't want to crack the case on something that my company owned, so I was presented with a bit of a conundrum.
Then I learned about one of the coolest little products I've seen in a while, the EVGA UV 12+. After a quick driver install, plug this little box (it measures about 3" x 3" x 1") into a USB 2.0 port, then plug your extra monitor in (DVI is the default, but they provide a VGA adapter), and voilà, dual monitors! You can even stack more than one UV 12 to run even more monitors. Our little Dells only push 1440x900, which is the max widescreen resolution on the UV 12 (and is adequate on the twin 19" widescreens I have at work), but if you want higher resolutions you can upgrade to the more powerful UV 16.
So, with a generous boss and about 46 bucks with shipping, I now have dual monitors at work, and this pleases me.

Over the past three years, the Fish and Wildlife
Services Kansas Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program has been involved in a
partnership with state and federal agencies in both Kansas and Oklahoma with the common
goal of improving and protecting our vanishing prairie resources. What makes this
partnership unique is that it centers around a local, landowner-driven, non-profit
resource foundation called the Comanche Pool Prairie Resource Foundation, known locally as
The Comanche Pool.
The Comanche Pool was
founded by a group of landowners located in the mixed-grass and sand-sage prairies
encompassing approximately 5.4 million acres in south-central Kansas and North-central
Oklahoma. This area includes two Fish and Wildlife Service Regions, two Natural Resources
Conservation Service Regions, two State Wildlife Agencies and numerous local Conservation
The Comanche Pool is dedicated to providing for
the regeneration and protection of natural resources, the education of ranchers, local
citizens and youth on the proper management of the rangeland ecosystem and enhancement of
the socioeconomic well-being of the rural community.
partnership between the Fish and Wildlife Service
and the Comanche Pool began in 1998 when the Services
Oklahoma Field Office and the Western Governors
Association, along with the High Plains Resources,
Conservation, and Development; the Oklahoma Department
of Wildlife; and the Natural Resources Conservation
Service hosted Rancher Conversation Meetings in
western Oklahoma. These meetings generated landowner
input and interest in a new direction the Service
was taking toward candidate species conservation.
This led to the development of the High Plains
Partnership, an effort geared toward the conservation
of species at risk in portions of Oklahoma, Texas,
New Mexico, Colorado and Kansas. Several Comanche
Pool board members were in attendance at the initial
meeting and expressed an interest in being involved
in this new program.
In Kansas, it was decided that the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program
would be the best mechanism for completing habitat projects. Contact was made with the
Comanche Pool in early February of 2000, and a partnership was developed.
Projects are geared toward
habitat restoration and protection for the lesser prairie chicken, black-tailed prairie
dog, ferruginous hawk, burrowing owl, plains minnow, red spotted toad, and Arkansas
darter. However, the overall emphasis of the partnership is on good rangeland management.
Some of the habitat improvement practices include grazing management plans, fencing, water
development, control of woody invasives, and native plant restoration.
The Comanche Pool has also
received a grant from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and the FMC Corporation
for additional habitat restoration projects and has worked diligently to secure a Range
Specialist position, jointly-funded by the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks,
Natural Resources Conservation Service, the Fish and Wildlife Service and the Comanche
Pool. This position will act as a point of contact for the Service and provide technical
assistance to landowners looking to improve their rangeland habitat in both Kansas and
Oklahoma. So far, this position has been responsible for completing grassland
inventories and grazing plans on over 46,000 acres in four Oklahoma Counties and six
Kansas Counties.
The partnership developed
with the Comanche Pool and others like it are what has made the Partners for Fish and
Wildlife Program a successful endeavor throughout the United States. Working with local,
landowner-driven organizations is critical to the to the success of a habitat restoration
program on private lands, especially in a state like Kansas which is 98% privately owned.

partnership contact the Comanche Pool Prairie Resource Foundation at (620)582-2211 ext. 3
or the Kansas Partners for Fish & Wildlife Program at (620)486-2393.

I started this blog to try to focus on the positives of life, and try to share the stories/issues/events/etc. that I care about. My goal is to live happily, simply and positively, and this blog my way of documenting my journey of figuring that out. In May 2012, I received my Master of Public Health degree from the Arnold School of Public Health at the University of South Carolina. My focus was health promotion, education and behavior.
I received my undergraduate degree in journalism and mass communications from USC in 2007, worked as a copy editor and page designer in Florence, S.C., for two years, and then lived at Jubilee Partners for five months in Comer, Ga. Jubilee Partners is an intentional Christian service community that focuses on teaching English and assisting newly arrived refugees.

Global Reinsurance Industry 2013-2018: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis, March 2013
The strong presence of European and US insurers in emerging nations is expected to drive the reinsurance industry. The gross premium of the global market is expected to reach an estimated US $304.4 billion in 2018 over the next five years (2013-2018).
Lucintel, a leading global management consulting and market research firm, has analyzed the global reinsurance industry and presents its findings in "Global Reinsurance Industry 2013-2018: Trend, Profit, and Forecast Analysis."
The reinsurance industry comprises establishments whose business is to assume all or part of the risk associated with existing insurance policies originally underwritten by other insurance carriers. Enterprises engaged in this business collect fees, reinsurance premiums, or annuity considerations and invest premiums to build up a portfolio of financial assets to be used against future claims.
Lucintel's research indicates that premium growth remained strong across Asian markets due to sustained growth in primary insurance supporting reinsurance growth and the increasing need for greater risk awareness.
Gross premium in ROW grew at substantially during 2007-2012 because of increasing primary insurance in the region. Greater awareness of the benefits of reinsurance followed encouragement from regulators with their growth-favoring policies. Demand for reinsurance in Middle East nations continued to grow with new entrants providing additional capacity in expanding non-life markets.
In the global reinsurance industry, life reinsurance witnessed the highest premium growth during the last five years due to increasing life insurance premium growth that supported the growth of life reinsurers and rising demand for longevity risk transfers. Demand for reinsurance solution is increasing as a means to manage the capital strain put on primary life and health insurers, resulting in growth of the industry.
As per Lucintel's study, implementation of Solvency II standards in the European Union is expected to improve growth rates in forecast years, as they are anticipated to bring positive results for customers and insurers. Increased demand is expected to be driven by the need to seek capital relief under the guidelines.
This comprehensive guide from Lucintel provides readers with valuable information and the tools needed to successfully drive critical business decisions with a thorough understanding of the market's potential. This report will save Lucintel clients hundreds of hours in personal research time on a global market and it offers significant benefits in expanding business opportunities throughout the global reinsurance industry analysis. In a fast-paced ever-changing world, business leaders need every advantage available to them in a timely manner to drive change in the market and to stay ahead of their competition. This report provides business leaders with a keen advantage in this regard by making them aware of emerging trends and demand requirements on an annual basis.

Five local sailors qualified to participate in The Leukemia & Lymphoma Societys (LLS) annual Fantasy Sail Weekend with Gary Jobson. Nancy Hagood (National Top Individual Fundraiser 2011), Bill McKenzie, Ben Hagood, Katy Perrin and Dan Perrin were recognized at the Southern Yacht Club in New Orleans along with nearly 100 other top fundraisers from the 50 Leukemia Cup Regattas that took place around the country in 2012.
Team Mongo, represented by sailor and Multiple Myeloma survivor, Ben Hagood along with wife, Penn, accepted the National Top Fundraising Boat Award for generating a record $65,000 this year.
The Leukemia Cup Regatta is a series of sailing events that combines the joy of boating with the important task of raising money to fight leukemia, lymphoma and other blood cancers. Jobson has been the national chairman of The Leukemia Cup Regatta since 1994.
He is a world class sailor, television commentator, and author. He was diagnosed with lymphoma in 2003. During the Fantasy Sail weekend, Jobson related his experience with cancer and the research advances funded by LLS. He also shared his insights into the latest news on the sailing scene.
Collectively, participants in the 2012 Leukemia Cup Regattas raised a total of $4.4 million this year; $42 million since its inception.
To date, the Charleston sailing community has generated over $1.7 million of that amount.

This review is from: The Art of SEO: Mastering Search Engine Optimization (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this book because it shows you different aspects of web search. The best in the book is that when you read it, you say ' 'I knew that already!', but funny thing is that you still haven't put this knowledge into practice. After reading this book I have gone through my web page HTML and changed few things. I have also tried to put myself in somebody's else shoes and think what they may think when they look for what I can offer :)
I suggest this book to anyone interested in SEO. Not necessarily to people who want to start they SEO based business. If you want to improve your site you will benefit for sure as well.

This review is from: The Art of SEO: Mastering Search Engine Optimization (Paperback)
I find that many SEO writers tend to focus too much on their single discipline objectives and miss the forest for the trees with their approach. Not so for this author, he really takes a big picture business results oriented approach. I quite liked this book. I am recommending it to my clients and staff to read.

Youth Unemployment is one of the biggest challenges in the UK today, with around one million young people not in work, education or training (NEET). We believe that by raising young people's aspirations it is possible to prevent them from being excluded from society.
I will not be shy, I will get on with it, I will achieve.
We are determined to engage and motivate young people, in order to raise their attainment and build their self-esteem, and we continue to support them as they prepare for the world of work. We enable them to face the difficulties of modern society and confidently re-enter the education system or gain employment. We believe that, given the appropriate environment, all young people can learn and develop to achieve successful lives.
Over the last year we have worked closely with regional partners and young people to design, deliver and evaluate two pioneering programmes. Update Your Status and Status Update Step 1, have been specifically designed as employability programmes, to develop young people who would not normally be considered for an apprenticeship, or who may find it difficult to secure a job.
Update your Status was BTEC and City and Guilds accredited and included modules on Personal Development and Preparation for Work, together with a Placement/Internship.
Status Update Step 1 engaged a group of young people, between 16 and 19, who were in, or leaving, care. Prior to the programme all the young people were NEET. Evaluation following the programme showed that we helped in securing an Apprenticeship/Internship for 80% of the participants.

text: The list is huge, the overall breakage is over 50% and I'm not going to bother listing all ports individually here since it seems like a waste of time almost every time I do that anyway.. But the main issues are, by frequency of occurance: (1) Too much stuff is broken wrt static linking, and vax has no dynamic libs yet. This accounts for most of the mentioned breakage. (2) No pthreads support for vax yet, so a lot of software suffers from that. (3) Some die due to gcc "internal compiler errors" where reducing the optimisation level is likely to help, but there aren't too many of those (not as many as sparc64, at any case). I have went and fixed a few things over time, but the overall situation right now is not all that bad. I mean, nobody's going to run GNOME on a vax. It seems like most of the essential things build/run just fine. And well, if you're feeling ambitious and have a vax, I can always dump you the logs upon request, if you'd like to help.

1. Sweetbreads at Franco
I loved the sautéed sweetbreads I had on my first visit to Franco (the RFT's and our readers' pick for Best New Restaurant 2007) so much that I tried to order them again when I returned a few days later. (They were sold out.) That was almost one year ago now, and on the first draft of this list, I had the sweetbreads penciled at No. 2. But then I decided to pay another visit to Franco (where, I must admit, they have figured out who I am) and try executive chef Justin Keimon's current sweetbreads dish.

This was fantastic, even better than the original: sweetbreads and mushrooms in a Madeira glaze between two thin layers of pastry shell and sitting atop a cauliflower purée. The composition looks an awful lot like biscuits and gravy, and the flavor is incredibly rich — meaty, yes, with the sweetbreads' mild earthy notes and a passing sweetness from the Madeira glaze.
And the worst?
"Baseball's Best Slider" at GCS Stadium
Baseball's Best Slider is the sort of thing you should order only when drunk or on a dare. It's a White Castle cheeseburger breaded and deep-fried, served with a side of cheese sauce for dipping. It looks more or less like what you'd imagine a breaded and deep-fried White Castle Slyder® would look like: dark brown and crusty, generally burger-shaped — albeit with knobs of gnarled batter that give it the appearance of a fried chicken thigh.
It tasted like ass. Love them Grizzlies, though!

M-Unition Focuses on Careers in Cybersecurity
Somehow, November is upon us. We finally find ourselves facing the national and local elections that we've been anticipating for months – along with something we barely saw coming – the long road to recovery from Hurricane Sandy. For those still dealing with her aftermath, all of us at Mandiant send our best.
Earlier this year, during the Black Hat USA conference, Mandiant's Kristen Cooper interviewed bloggers Carrie Jung and Mary Singh about women in the incident response profession. The podcast was very well-received and showed us a need for focus on careers in cybersecurity. That is why this month's M-Unition blog theme will be Career Paths in Cybersecurity – exploring some of the different paths that cybersecurity careers can take and sharing our thoughts on how best to prepare for a career in this industry.
During the month of November we'll be hearing from some of the best in the business – including a podcast from David J. Bianco, incident handler for General Electric, on careers in the information security field. David's podcast is a follow-up to his post about the keys to landing a job in digital forensics and incident response. I'm also excited to interview two members of the M-Unition editorial team, Jed Mitten and Willi Ballenthin, as part of the series. Both bloggers have done amazing things in this industry and I am excited to share their story with our readers.
If you have specific questions about careers in cybersecurity you'd like answered on M-Unition, please leave me a comment below.

Multi-user is a term that defines an operating system, computer program, or a game that allows use by more than one users of the same computer at the same time. Android 4.2 Jelly Bean brought multi-user support to Android tablets.
Multi-user feature on Android tablets allows several users to share a single Android tablet, with each user having convenient access to a dedicated user space. Users can switch between the accounts from the lock screen.
On a multi-user device, Android gives each user a separate environment, including user-specific emulated SD card storage. Users also have their own homescreens, widgets, accounts, settings, files, and apps, and the system keeps these separate. All users share core system services, but the system ensures that each user's applications and data remain isolated. In effect, each of the multiple users has his or her own Android device.

The 2014 Hall of Fame inductees were announced yesterday. Once again Mike Piazza was not elected. We addressed Piazza when he was left off the ballot last year, I can't think of anything else to say on him. However, unlike the 2013 total snub, three players were elected yesterday, Greg Maddux, Frank Thomas, and Tom Glavine. Others can feel free to cheer that, but for me personally I can't think of a less inspiring group of candidates. When the induction ceremony begins I don't know where I will be, but it sure won't be Cooperstown.
Logically I have no reason to have any problem with Frank Thomas. And mostly I am over Frank. But anyone who knew me when Thomas played knows that I found him frustrating. The production numbers are all there for us to see, Frank Thomas is a Hall of Fame hitter. But when I watched him all I could focus on was this mammoth man taking 3-1 fastballs down the middle. It drove me nuts. People then would tell me that this is why he was great, which made me even crazier. As a stubborn guy, I still submit that it was because he was a great hitter, who could turn around and clobber a tougher pitch at 3-2. A rare talent. And as evidence I submit Lucas Duda, our current mammoth man who apes Frank's style. That style is not leading to the Hall of Fame for Lucas. But overall, yes I know, I'm being dumb about Frank, even I have grown some over twenty years. Now take your bow and go away.
Maddux, of course is certainly a Hall of Famer by any standards. I'm not arguing that at all. And of these three candidates I respected him the most. But this guy played for the Braves, and the Braves stood in the way and blocked some very good Mets fans of the chance to be very special. Considering how good those Mets teams were that creates vivid memories of the Braves. They are not good ones, and I never relish any reminders.
But what makes this ceremony unbearable is Tom Glavine. A guy who gets in because all the years he pitched for the Braves he threw the ball in the dugout and umpires called it a strike. Then, he signed with the Mets, the National League instituted a system called QuesTec to keep the umpires honest and Glavine had to throw his pitches in the vicinity of the batters. From that day on Glavine went from a "great" pitcher to a good one. So when it comes to Tom Glavine I don't get it. If PED users can't get in to the Hall of Fame, or Pete Rose, I don't know why we are honoring a player who benefited from a dishonest strike zone.
Tom Glavine, ugh. He signs with the Mets for big money and then spends the entire time making it painfully obvious he did it as some type of tour of duty. Ugh. All that time pining away for his old friends with his precious Braves. Tom Glavine was Richie Hebner with more talent. I'm not interested in celebrating that. Tom Glavine? I was sitting there at Shea on September 30, 2007. If any Mets fan wants to forgive and forget with Glavine, they are a better man than I am. Tom Glavine in the Hall of Fame. Ugh. Who is next, Roberto Alomar? Wait, what?
That's my story, and I'm sticking to it. If anyone wants an intelligent logical post about these inductees they have come to the wrong place. Being a fan includes an emotional component and this year's inductees strike a nerve with me.
The best thing about it for me is it means I haven't had to watch any of them for five years. Good riddance.

Primary Program
4755 Prosperity Church Road
Charlotte, NC 28269
(704) 503-6000
Tuition Rewards Program
The Countryside Tuition Rewards Program is a tuition savings plan that automatically rewards Countryside parents for each year their children attend the Countryside Montessori School. Every Countryside family can easily benefit from this new program.
For each year a student is enrolled at our school, Countryside will "bank" $200 - $300 of tuition reward credits in their name. Once a student reaches the 9th grade, he/she can "cash in" their cumulative tuition reward and apply it toward their Countryside High School tuition. In other words, the longer you stay at Countryside, the less tuition you will pay in high school.
Students will receive a $200 credit for each year they were enrolled in Toddler through 3rd grade, and a $300 credit for each year they were enrolled in 4th through 8th grade. New students will begin "banking" their tuition rewards beginning at the level in which they enroll. Once students reach the 9th grade, they can deduct their Cumulative Total for each year they attend Countryside High School.
Sally Jones is a current rising 9th grader who began her Countryside Montessori education in the Toddler House. She earned $2,900 in Tuition Rewards. She will be able to deduct that amount from each year she attends the Countryside High School, for a grand total of $11,600 in tuition reduction.
Year Level Rewards Cumulative Total
1 Toddler $200 $200
2 Pre-School $200 $400
3 Pre-School $200 $600
4 Pre-School $200 $800
5 Lower El. 1st $200 $1,000
6 Lower El. 2nd $200 $1,200
7 Lower El. 3rd $200 $1,400
8 Upper El. 4th $300 $1,700
9 Upper El. 5th $300 $2,000
10 Upper El. 6th $300 $2,300
11 Middle 7th $300 $2,600
12 Middle 8th $300 $2,900
David Green is a student who first enrolled at Countryside Montessori School in the 4th grade. Through the Tuition Rewards Program, David can earn $300 in tuition credits each year for a Cumulative Total of $1,500, which will be applied each year toward his Countryside High School tuition.
Year Level Rewards Cumulative Total
1 Upper El. 4th $300 $300
2 Upper El. 5th $300 $600
3 Upper El. 6th $300 $900
4 Middle 7th $300 $1,200

The fierce competition between teams and individuals made for an exciting day at the Region 5 Cross Country Championship.
Five teams, including three state-ranked, and 45 girls, seven of who are state-ranked, competed in the regional championship race Saturday, Nov. 8.
Head Trimble County High School boys basketball coach Bob Lauster, along with assistants Jimmy Mckinney, Joe Perkinson and new addition Chris Reed, are preparing for a season that could go down in the record books… in a good way.
Over 300 runners from 40 teams competed in each race making last weekend's Kentucky State Middle and Elementary State Cross Country Championships worth seeing.
The Runnin' Raiders held their own as they competed in the 6th Grade and Under State Girls and Boys Championship, Middle School Boys State race, and Middle School Open Girls State race.
Trimble County opened up yet another can of… biscuits, last Friday night when the Raiders traveled to Owenton, for another flawless victory.
The Raiders and Owen County Rebels came into the game matching 2-6 records. The Owen team had hoped to celebrate Senior Night with a big win, enacting a bit of revenge for the Raiders 40-6 blowout against them on Trimble's Senior Night last year.
The Raiders, however, showed everyone that size did not matter in a game that ultimately was a bit like the biblical tale 'David and Goliath.'
Lifetime memories were cemented Friday night for four cheerleaders, 10 band members and 14 football players – all seniors, participating in the last game of the season at Carroll County High School's Panther Field.
Some of these students have lived their entire lives in Carroll County; some moved here with their families.
Their parents have supported them as students, athletes and performers, and all shed tears after the game against with Kentucky Country Day. A game that turned out to be a victory for the Panthers, by the way.
The Trimble County High School girls basketball team is gearing up for the 2008-09 season.
The Lady Raiders are practicing hard, looking to improve significantly over last season when the team tallied a lackluster 8-16 record.
Although the 2007-08 record does not seem like much to brag about, the team did have some significant, if limited, successes.
The Panthers had two emotional reasons for wanting a win Friday, Oct. 31: First, this was the final home football game of the year; second, it was senior night.
The team didn't let anyone down.
In the stat book, Kentucky Country Day came to Panther Field looking better than the Panthers in many areas – except one, the win/loss column. KCD left the field with another loss.
The DeSales Colts of Louisville came into Carroll County High School's Panther Stadium on Friday night with an impressive record, and escaped with a win.
"I'm not making excuses, but I'm giving the boys a compliment," Head Coach Mike Weedman said after the game. "We were without a lot of key players tonight, and we were still able to play the game that we did."
Trimble County gave the visiting Bracken County Polar Bears a whooping in the annual Bedford Bank Bowl in a lopsided win 50-0 last Friday night. The win snapped Trimble's six game losing streak.
This was Trimble's second win of the season, after getting off to a great start in the opening week, beating Casey County 50-7.
"It seems every time we score 50 points we win," coach Jesse Bray joked.

"We have kind of set a goal to just be a little bit more prolific and not let the gaps be so big in between records. I realized, this time around, that the creative process doesn't have to end when the record is done... You usually shut down and get into tour mode, and this time I kind of left those doors open, and as a result, I'm still writing and still feeling a creative flow, so we have a great start on a new record. We're going to shock everybody, I think."The band's most recent release was the long-awaited Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes in 2011, following a 7-year gap between releases.

Gotta say they were really good live the last time I saw them but between Mike Ness dressing like a Dick Tracy villain and their set looking like a living room from horders, I was super confused.

He was quoted saying, "It's going to pretty much sound like the last one. And the one before that. And well, the one before that too."

"If I could post comments on punknews, I would've posted "head ass" the second I saw that Mike Ness said he already started working on the new album."
oldturds (November 18, 2011)
I love this band so much that when I see chuck ragan open for them on sunday, I'm going to leave way before they get anywhere near that stage. If it wasn't for them, I would be seeing him for $10 like the rest of America. Gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

I can write the same with both hands (poorly) yet my right foot is highly un-coordinated compared to my left. So I'm probably left handed.
Being southpaw counts for nothing when you first start, is amazing at the intermediate level then counts for little at the advanced level. I've pretty much won 2 of my fights just by being left handed."Boxing is the art of hitting an opponent from the furthest distance away, exposing the least amount of your body while getting into position to punch with maximum leverage and not getting hit."

My experience as a lefty is mixed. People often dont know how to hold pads during training for lefty, so that part is not so cool. However, in sparring most people dont know how to deal with us. Right hooks get peopel off gaurd..left kick is the lover shot.. and outside leg kicks are fun.

RICHMOND, Ky. – Visiting Murray State University never trailed on its way to a 77-64 victory over the Eastern Kentucky University men's basketball team Wednesday in McBrayer Arena.
This marked EKU's (10-6, 1-2 OVC) first home loss of the season (5-1) and Murray State's (8-7, 3-0) first road win (1-6).
The Racers scored 14 of the first 17 points in the contest and never looked back. Eastern Kentucky rallied to even the score at 19 and 21, but could never take the lead. Murray State regained control with a 10-2 run at the end of the half to take a 38-29 cushion into halftime.
Murray State's lead would grow to as large as 18 points in the second half, 66-48, following a Jarvis Williams jumper with 6:20 left. Eastern made one final push to cut the deficit to eight points with 2:31 left, 68-60, but could get no closer.
Williams led the Racers with his seventh double-double of the season (19 points, 11 rebounds). The junior forward was perfect from the field (9-of-9). Cameron Payne added 19 points and five assists.
Murray State earned 28 trips to the free throw line compared to just eight for the Colonels. The Racers netted 19-of-28 (67.9 percent) charity shots.
EKU, which had shot better than 50 percent in its previous four games, only shot 42.6 percent (26-of-61) from the floor, including 36.7 percent in the first half.
Junior Corey Walden paced the Colonels with a season-high 24 points. Senior Tarius Johnson chipped in with a season-high 16 points as well. Meanwhile, Eastern's top scoring threat, senior Glenn Cosey, was held to a season-low five tallies.
This was the first game between the two teams in Richmond since Dec. 2, 2010.
Rivalry Week continues for the Colonels on Saturday at Morehead State. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Eastern Kentucky is ranked 20th in the latest CollegeInsider.com Mid-Major Top 25.
EKU entered the game leading the OVC in scoring defense (69.2) but had allowed 80 or more points in its previous two games.
Eastern Kentucky entered the game 5-0 at home and having won 21 of its last 22 at McBrayer Arena. Murray State entered the game 0-6 on the road.

REIDSVILLE, N.C. — Your home is the largest investment you'll probably ever make and you work hard to keep it looking its best.
But what happens when your neighbor doesn't do the same?
It has become a major problem for a woman in Reidsville and she is trying to fight back.
Mary Lee lives on Irvin Street in historic downtown Reidsville. Her neighbor's home has boarded up windows, the porch is falling apart and debris in the yard.
Lee said she has been living with it for more than a decade and she's tired of it.
"It's preventing me from selling my home and moving on with my life," Lee said.
Lee said the owner also raises bees in his back yard.
"The city says we have no ordinance against him having the bees. Hundreds of bees, hundreds of bees that we have to deal with," Lee said.
And this is also a problem for the Penn House mansion across the street.
"We have weddings and family reunions. She has to explain to them what's going on there," Lee said.
Realtor Theresa McCollum said it will be "next to impossible" to sell Mary's house if the property next door stays the way it is.
"It's not only affecting the value of this house but the whole street," McCollum said.
Mary has done everything she can think of.
"I've gotten an attorney. I've gone to the historical society because we are in a historic district. I've gone to city council meetings," Lee said.
But Lee said no one will help. That's when she called FOX8 On Your Side.
We attempted to speak to Norton, the owner of the home. He was at the house but didn't answer the door and didn't return our phone call or email.
FOX8 spoke with the mayor of Reidsville to find out why nothing has been done.
"We don't have an ordinance against being ugly," Jay Donecker said.
Mayor Donecker said he feels sorry for the neighbors on Irvin Street but his hands are tired. The owner of the home is meeting basic requirements and the house is structurally sound.
"He's been able to use the system to do just enough improvements that we cannot do any actions against him," Donecker said.

regular observations were recorded with pencil and paper, from meteorology to Earth's magnetic field variations (Figure 1). Beyond the advances to science and geographical exploration, a principal legacy of the first IPY was setting a precedent for international science cooperation. The clear gap between Weyprecht's vision and the outcomes was that the data were never fully integrated and analyzed together (Wood and Overland, 2006).
During the first IPY (1882-1883) the Brooklyn Bridge opened in New York City, five years before the Eiffel Tower opened in Paris. Fifty years later the second IPY (1932-1933) began, and this was the year the Empire State Building opened in New York City. Routine flights by aircraft and wireless communication were both now possible. During the second IPY, 40 nations conducted Arctic research focusing on meteorology, magnetism, atmospheric science, and ionospheric physics. Forty permanent observation stations were established in the Arctic. The U.S. contribution to the second IPY was the second Byrd Antarctic expedition. The Byrd expedition established the first inland research station, a winter-long meteorological station on the Ross Ice Shelf at the southern end of Roosevelt Island. Scientists employed aircraft to extend the range of their observations and for the first time received data transmitted back from balloons as they drift upward, allowing the first vertical sampling of the polar atmosphere (Figure 2).
The third IPY expanded beyond the polar regions, quickly becoming global. This polar year was renamed the International Geophysical Year (IGY) and ran from July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958 (see Figure 3). Coincident with the groundbreaking for the Sydney Opera House, the IGY was the brainchild of a small number of eminent physicists, including Sydney Chapman, James Van Allen, and Lloyd Berkner. These physicists realized that the technology developed during World War II, such as rockets and radar, could be deployed to advance science. Sixty-seven nations participated in the IGY. The IGY's research, discoveries, and vast array of synoptic observations set the stage for decades of geophysical investigations. Data collected from ships were used subsequently to advance the theory of plate tectonics, while satellites detected the Van Allen Radiation Belt. Seismic measurements collected along geophysical traverses measured the thickness of the Antarctic ice sheet, enabling the first estimates of Antarctica's ice mass. Emerging from the IGY was the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) in 1958 and the Antarctic Treaty in 1961. Permanent stations were established for the first time in Antarctica as a direct result of the IGY.
At the end of the IGY, Hugh Odishaw, executive director of the U.S. National Committee, noted, "We have only scratched the surface of our ignorance with respect to Antarctic…. There is at hand an unparalleled situation for stimulating the best in man" (Odishaw, 1959). Having scratched the surface of Antarctica, scientists and engineers of 1958 handed the baton to our generation to bring together scientists and engineers to understand the role the poles play in our rapidly changing world. It is for us to explore the remaining frontiers using the cutting-edge technologies available to us today: jet aircraft, ships, satellites, lasers, the Global Positioning System (GPS), advanced communications, computers, numerical modeling, passive seismics, autonomous observatories, and novel coring technologies.

It's not easy being Fred
Despite his laid-back image, Fred Couples aches in his back and in life
It was surreal and familiar all at once: just Fred Couples and me in a cart, rolling down emerald fairways on a perfect California desert morning with the Indian Wells Resort Celebrity Course -- where in four days he would play in the Skins Game for the 14th time -- all to ourselves.
Surreal because Couples is often the top choice in surveys that ask the question, "With which golfer would you most like to play 18 holes?" Familiar because the outward normalcy and lack of pretension that make him so easy to like created instant comfort.
There was also a sense of nostalgia at seeing the trademark mannerisms: the graceful walk, the limb-loosening gyrations, the utterly placid expression while following an utterly perfect drive. Fred Couples has been away from golf's big stage for a long while, with no lack of formidable forces conspiring against his ever making it back.
Not surprisingly, Couples wasn't bothered by my flared tee shots and fatted irons, and after the odd good one, he'd offer a "Nice shot" in the same nasal tone that I'd heard him use to compliment Phil Mickelson during their final-round duel at the 2006 Masters. Once, after I'd caught a solid drive on a blind, downhill dogleg, we crested a hill and saw two balls, one 30 yards behind the other. As we approached the first one and I remarked that it was surely mine, he responded, in all seriousness, "Now how do you know that?" The ball was indeed mine, and it had gotten about as close to one of his drives as I would get all day. Very Fred.
"You know, I would never not tell some guy 'Nice shot' just to bypass him," offers Couples, employing the odd word choice that helps make his sentences inimitable. "Even with a guy who annoys me a little but not a lot, I might not talk as much, but I'll still say, 'Nice shot.' "
Of course, Couples also happens to be supremely gifted. Even at 48, with graying hair and a trick back that keeps him from doing anything resembling strength training, the breadth of his shoulders and calves suggest an extraordinary power plant, one fully realized in the instant he gathers himself at the top of his driver swing and unleashes his lower body toward the target. At close range, the force of the surge reminded me of crossing the low stone bridge just short of Niagara Falls, where the impossibly fast and thick rush of water just below created the unsettling feeling of being pulled toward the drop-off. In Couples' case, the sudden violence gives way to a slippery quick and complete clearing of the left hip, allowing him the space and time for the syrupy tempo that lets him butter or bash the ball as he pleases.
"To me, that move makes Fred the athlete/golfer," says instructor Jim McLean, who after measuring more than 200 PGA Tour pros found that Couples and John Daly moved the left hip the greatest distance forward on the downswing: 19 inches -- a full six inches farther than the tour average. It's the kind of extraordinary physical act that gets the attention of other professional athletes, who are always most fascinated by the things they can't do. Says Golf Digest/Golf World Senior Writer Bob Verdi, a sports columnist at The Chicago Tribune for the past 30 years: "All I know is that whenever top guys from every other sport care about golf at all, the guy they all want to know about and meet is Fred."
Couples is hard-wired to be embarrassed by such singling out, and being asked about it is likely to start him on one of his trademark stream-of-consciousness rambles that usually leaves the questioner too puzzled to follow up. It's axiomatic in PGA Tour pressrooms that the less Couples wants to say about something, the more words he will use. Conversely, he was never more eloquent than after flushing his 3-iron to the 13th green during the third round of the 1998 Masters. Entranced as the ball homed in on the flagstick, Couples brought chills to the television audience when the boom mike caught him intoning, "Oh, baby!"
The talent, the good looks, the common touch and the sheer ease: They're why Couples so often has been considered Mr. Lucky, the man everyone would trade lives with. But the truth is, it would be a Faustian bargain that would include divorces, paralyzing back pain, migraines, early parental passings, episodes of debilitating inertia and sundry "blunders" (another Couples pet word).
When Bernard Darwin titled his autobiography, The World that Fred Made, he referred to the family gardener whose seeming ability to fix all problems helped imbue Darwin with a lifelong optimism. Couples is an avid gardener who learned the basics watching his father do the groundskeeping at a Seattle zoo. But except for golf, Couples' adult life has been a tangle of vines.
At the moment, Couples is in a now-two-year divorce proceeding from his wife, Thais, whom he married in September 1998 after meeting her at that year's Nissan Open at Riviera. Only a couple of weeks after they had started to date, Thais was diagnosed with breast cancer. Couples accompanied her through aggressive treatments at clinics in Switzerland and Chicago. The cancer went into remission, and in the following years Fred said he had found the love of his life, as well as the joy of being a stepfather to Thais' children from a previous marriage, GiGi and Oliver, both now teenagers. But behind the public idyll the relationship foundered. Then, shortly after Couples had moved out of their sprawling Santa Barbara estate in 2005, doctors found that Thais' cancer had returned. For several months, Fred lived in Scottsdale with another woman with whom he'd had a long friendship. After that relationship ended, last March he and Thais, whose health has improved, tried to get back together. But Couples moved out again in October and has been living alone in La Quinta.
