Michelle came to me with a plethora of imagery – she had done her homework and knew what she liked which made the beginning process much easier for the both of us. She was able to accurately communicate her desires using visuals; so the direction wasn't lost in the descriptive words, but rather extremely easy for me to use her inspiration to kick start my designs. Sometimes it's really easy for me to get lost in all the different directions I could take a design – there's an endless amount of possibilities and it can become extremely overwhelming… so thank you michelle for your hard work in collecting the imagery!
Michelle and Kevin have a really fun and lively wedding palette; we wanted to emphasize this even more with the varying fonts. Michelle had informed me that their saves the dates were photobooth style and so again I wanted to visually pull this in by making the text and imagery linear and vertical. To keep things playful we added a few icons and tied the pieces all together with matching visual elements that created rhythm and interest through out the designs.
Michelle was a lovely bride to work with and I look forward to working on a few more pieces for her wedding! I hope they have a beautiful day and enjoy wedded life as much as me!

Disaster declaration could help storm-damaged counties
Gov. Pat McCrory has asked that several counties, including Orange, be declared disasters to help offset the response and recovery costs from the most recent winter storm.
According to a press release from the governor's office, McCrory applied for federal disaster declaration for Alamance, Person, Randolph, Caswell, Davidson, Davie, Guilford and Granville Counties, in addition to Orange County, to help recoup the estimated $26.9 million in recovery and response costs to state and local governments.
"We've seen more than our fair share of winter storms this year but this snow and ice brought down more trees and power lines than any other storm we've experienced in the past decade," McCrory said.
On March 6 and 7 the combination of ice, sleet and freezing rain on top of snow followed by strong winds brought down thousands of trees and knocked down power lines across the central region of the state.
Thousands of people were left without power for several days. Initial reports estimated between 750,000 and 1 million cubic yards of debris to be removed from personal and public properties across the nine requested counties.
More than 14,000 Duke Energy customers in Orange County were without power the day after the winter storm. Piedmont Electric Membership Corp. had more than 21,000 customers without power.
Orange County Schools opened C.W. Stanford Middle School as an emergency shelter for those without power. American Red Cross executive director Stan Morris said that of the handful of people who spent the night, most were from the Efland area down through Hillsborough.
Both companies dispatched additional workers and called on electric providers from additional states to help restore power.
"I commend our local emergency management teams and first responders for their tremendous response during the storm," said McCrory. "Now it's our turn to help communities recover from the devastating costs associated with this ice storm."
If approved, federal dollars could pay up to 75 percent of the costs associated with the response and recovery efforts from the storm including tree and limb debris removal and repairs to local electric cooperatives infrastructure.

I am running Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal on a machine that is more than powerful enough to support unity.
First off, my setup: GUI boot is disabled. I boot into tty after which I use sudo lightdm to get to the desktop, I have bumblebee installed to enable Optimus for my nVidia GT 540M graphics card.
I have enabled edge triggers in CCSM. Since the edge trigger settings were not being remembered after every login, I was advised to add the following entry to my startup:
bash -c "sleep 3; compiz --replace"
Now it so happens that sometimes, "Unity will randomly fail to load. I get a blank desktop with no titlebars or window edges. I have to right click and open wallpaper settings, this somehow enables me to use Ctrl+Alt+T to launch the terminal. Here, typing sudo unity --replace does cause unity to start but all none of my settings are stored, some buttons are missing etc. Further, other attempts to start terminal run it as root and not as my username. However when I disable and re-enable Unity through ccsm, my desktop returns to normal after a reboot. The problem is not even consistent. I am not sure as to what is the cause here. Could it have something to do with the startup entry?
Any help will be appreciated.

Dimensions: head height 16.7 meters
Weight: empty 8.2 metric tons; max gross weight unknown

Propulsion: rocket thrusters: 73750 kg total

Optional hand armaments: 2 x double Gatling gun, can be stored on backpack storage racks
During the military and political chaos occurring in AC 195, pilot Trowa Barton is forced to abandon his XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms mobile suit, leaving it behind on Earth when he goes back out into space. Over the next few months, the abandoned Heavyarms finds its way into the care of guerilla rebel Sally Po. Sally, realizing the chaos will be concluded in space and that the infamous Gundam pilots will be at the very center of it, later goes into space herself, taking the Gundam with her to return it to its pilot. Aboard the independent battleship Peacemillion, Gundam supporter Howard upgrades the groundpounding Heavyarms, outfitting it to fight in space. The improvements made to the Gundam Heavyarms Kai are necessary to give the mobile suit the edge it needed to deliver its firepower against the spacebound forces of White Fang's WF-02MD Virgo II mobile dolls and the mobile suits of the World Nation military. A minor improvement is the addition of several vernier thrusters to give the Heavyarms stability in a zero-gee environment. However, the biggest improvement is the replacement of its single, large beam Gatling gun with a pair of smaller, double-barreled shell-firing Gatling guns, allowing the Heavyarms to split its devastating firepower up and tackle more targets at once. Following the defeat of the Mariemaia Army in AC 196, Trowa joins the other Gundam pilots in self-destructing his own suit, now that its mission has been fulfilled.
Pilot: Trowa Barton

This book is a much-expanded new edition of a book first published in 1983 by Princeton University Press, number 30 in their "Mathematical Notes" series. The 1983 "Telegraphic Review" described the book as
Exploration in combinatorics and knot theory, where knots are modelled by a state polynomial. A key combinatorial result gives rise to a duality conjecture, a refinement of the Alexander polynomial, and extension of the Crowell-Murasugi theorem to the class of links.
The focus of the book is very much on knot diagrams, the two-dimensional drawings that describe knots. It uses some rather "startling" (Kauffman's own description!) terminology: the knot diagram is called a "universe," with "singularities" (the crossings). Universes can have "states," "black holes," "white holes," and "stars"...
The author has added two new chapters. "Remarks on Formal Knot Theory" is a guide to reading the original book, complementing it and serving as an introduction to further developments in knot theory since the original publication. "New Invariants in the Theory of Knots" is an article that originally appeared in the American Mathematical Monthly (March, 1988); it deals mostly with the Jones polynomial and related topics.
The two new chapters amount to almost 100 pages, a significant expansion of the original 167-page notes. Their addition makes this an essentially new book, so that even those who already have a copy of the older edition will want to take a look at this one.
Fernando Q. Gouvêa is the editor of MAA Reviews.

This story was corrected at 3 p.m. on Jan. 10, 2014. An explanation follows the story.
Montgomery County is expected to move forward with a land swap that will net 21 small apartments for the homeless in a new building in Silver Spring.
The swap is part of the Progress Place Project, which will have the current property on Colonial Lane developed into a high-rise residential building.
According to county officials, the County Council will issue an executive order of declaration of surplus, which allows officials to dispose public property at a market value disposition, at a council session on Jan. 14.
During a Silver Spring Advisory meeting on Dec. 9, Greg Ossont, deputy director of the county's Department of General Services, said the county is moving forward with the project. "It is an exciting project. It creates a lot of opportunities for the Ripley district in between railroad tracks and Georgia Avenue ... just south of the transit center," Ossont said.
Progress Place is a facility owned by Montgomery County that houses Shepherd's Table — a nonprofit that provides the homeless and those in need with basic services including meals, social services, medical support and clothing — and Community Vision, which provides support, advocacy, education and training for the homeless in the county to empower them to achieve independence. The services are based out of a property on Colonial Lane in Silver Spring, and the county has planned to move it to a location about a block away behind Fire Station 1 on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring.
The project was first planned to be a three-story building, but because the facility could be built to five floors, the Montgomery County Council had asked county officials to find a way to add about 20 units each on the fourth and fifth floors, a request that is projected to cost about $10.2 million, according to a Dec. 3 county document.
"We've taken a lot of time and a few steps back to evaluate the need and evaluate the cost of housing, and had a lot of conversations with the County Council on this matter. We are happy to move forward," Ossont said.
The developer, Bethesda-based Washington Property Company, would replace the actual building with a new facility, which would add 21 personal living quarters, "very small micro-units with their own bathroom and shower and small kitchenette," according to Ossont.
County officials also said that the lease term of these apartments will be similar to that of a regular apartment building, and they are single-occupant apartments.
The current facility on Colonial Lane does not have any living quarters.
The new facility will be planned, designed and constructed by the developer, which will relocate the current facility at no cost to the county, and in return the county would transfer three properties that make up the current site to the developer.
The three properties — 1014 Ripley St., 8206 Colonial Lane and 8210 Colonial Lane — are valued at about $11 million, according to officials documents. The base building estimate for the new three-story facility is about $13.5 million.
"We are going to pay for that residential [part] and developers are going to pay for the new facility," Ossont said.
According to officials, property negotiations are underway, but they confirmed that Washington Property Company plans to build a high-rise residential building.
An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the number of apartments that will be created.

This chocolate fondant from Trish Deseine is one of the moistest you can imagine, and is also very easy to make
Method1. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Grease and flour a 25cm diameter round cake tin.
2. For the fondant: tip the chocolate into a heatproof mixing bowl and sit it over a pan of barely simmering water (make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl as the heat would be too fierce). Pour the hot coffee over the chocolate, add the butter, and stir until the chocolate and butter have melted and combined.
3. Remove the bowl from the heat and set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
4. Add the sugar and stir well, then break the eggs into the mixture, one at a time, mixing well after each egg has been added. Finally fold in the flour.
5. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 20-25 minutes, until just firm at the edges but still very moist in the centre.
6. Leave the cake to cool completely before turning out of the tin, ideally overnight.
7. For the glaze: melt the chocolate and butter together in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water (again make sure the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl). Add the water and stir to combine.
8. Remove from the heat and allow the glaze to cool and thicken slightly, to a fudge-like consistency, then pour over the cooled cake. Set aside in a cool place for about 2 hours then serve.
- 200 g dark chocolate, minimum 65% cocoa solids, broken into small pieces
- 1 tbsp strong, hot coffee, (preferably double strength espresso)
- 200 g butter, softened
- 200 g caster sugar
- 5 eggs
- 1 tbsp heaped plain flour
For the glaze
- 100 g dark chocolate, minimum 65% cocoa solids, broken into small pieces
- 50 g butter, softened
- 2 tbsp water
Tips and suggestions
- you can melt the chocolate and butter in the microwave for step 2 and step 7 of this recipe if you prefer. Just make sure you stop the microwave about every 20 seconds and give everything a good stir to prevent burning the chocolate.

ALBANY, N.Y. – The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) are strongly urging New Yorkers who have applied for disaster aid to complete and return their SBA loan applications.
To date, SBA has approved more than $43 million in low-interest disaster loans for New Yorkers who suffered damage from Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee.
The deadline to apply for SBA disaster assistance loans for Hurricane Irene is Oct. 31. The SBA application deadline for Tropical Storm Lee is Nov. 14. The sooner flood survivors complete their applications, the sooner decisions regarding federal aid can be made. Filling out the SBA application is a necessary step to be considered for some forms of disaster assistance.
SBA disaster loans are the primary source of long-term recovery aid. The application provides necessary information for determining assistance for each applicant. If SBA is unable to approve a loan, the applicant may be automatically referred to other disaster aid programs.
The SBA low-interest disaster loans are available to qualified renters, property owners, non-profit organizations, and businesses of any size that suffered losses due to the disaster. These loans are designed for disaster survivors not fully covered by insurance or without insurance. Anyone waiting for action from their insurance company is urged to apply – applications can be processed while you are waiting.
Loans can provide money for relocation, refinancing and mitigation projects to reduce the risk of further flood damage. Anyone denied an SBA loan has the right to ask for reconsideration. In many cases, SBA can, on further review, reverse such a decision. For more information, call the SBA at 1-800-659-2955 or visit the SBA web site at www.sba.gov.
FEMA's mission is to support our citizens and first responders to ensure that as a nation we work together to build, sustain, and improve our capability to prepare for, protect against, respond to, recover from, and mitigate all hazards.

When the douglas-firs were counted: The beginning of the forest survey
Doig, Ivan. 1976. When the douglas-firs were counted: The beginning of the forest survey. Journal of Forest History. 20(1): 20-27.
The wonders which Phil Briegleb remembered from that stint of work - the dark green spill of forest from ridgeline to valley floor, the colonnade of giant boles crowding acre upon acre, the Depression-staving paycheck earned by sizing up this big timber - may have been grand, all right, but no more so than the language which spelled out the project. The Forest Survey was prescribed in Section 9 of the McSweeney-McNary Act. In that 1928 manifesto which blueprinted the Forest Service's system of regional experiment stations and set the directions of federal forestry research, one sentence sweepingly called for "a comprehensive survey of the present and prospective requirements for timber and other forest products in the United States, and of timber supplies, including a determination of the present and potential productivity of forest land therein, and of such other facts as may be necessary in the determination of ways and means to balance the timber budget of the United States."

Santa Cruz Restylane reviews
100% of Santa Cruz reviewers said Restylane was worth it
"Dr. Kojian Was Amazing! - Aptos, CA"
I have been wanting to do something about my eyes for quite a while and finally I found out that creams were not working for me. Finally I set up a consultation at a local medical spa in Aptos called Laser Hair and Skin Solutions with Karen. She sent my picture to the doctor and he agreed that the tear trough filler would work great for me. I was so nervous but I had experience with fillers so... more
"I Feel Like a New Woman! - Los Gatos, CA"
I had my first restalyn treatment in Dec, 2011. i bought 1 vial from a living social promo for $295. I was 42 (and 10 months old) and my frown lines were pretty deep. i was so self conscience because they started when I was 40 and nearly 3 years later they were all I saw in photos. The first vial did a lot. My husband was really impressed and fine with the $ spent. We don't have much... more
"Restylane Under Eyes - San Jose, CA"
I was unhappy with the dark circles and sagging skin under my eyes. My doctor recommended trying Restylane to fill the hollows. He states that loss of collagen is the reason for the sagging skin. He is a very skilled injector. He only used a small amount and I am due back in the office in 4 weeks to see where we are and if I need additional treatment. It was been 5 days since I had the... more
"Restalyne Lump Under Eye - Tear..."
So I am writing this review for people who have experienced Restalyne lumps in the wrong location that don't go away by themselves. I had Restalyne and Perlane injected in several areas (lips, nasolabial folds and tear troughs) 11 months ago and even though I loved the overall effect I had a problem in one area. While having the Restalyne injection in my tear through I got one of... more
"Restylane Nasolabial Folds and Lips..."
I chose Restylane not so much for vanity but because I was tired of people telling me I look tired! I am 38 and the nasolabial folds along my nose were really aging me. I just had the injection of 3 tubes and the dermatologist really wanted to use more. (I agree but at $575 each...) Right now, I am very happy with the results. Will see how the Botox turns out in a couple of weeks. more
"Works for Me, but Start Small."
I've been getting Restylane injected into my lips, and some of the wrinkles around them, for a little more than a year and a half. I love the effect, and have had no side effects other than some bruising and swelling (when I was taking a lot of Advil). The injections do hurt quite a lot, but I feel that it's worth it to correct that caved-in look that happened when I went into menopause. I... more

HTC Sensation's processor gets a bump to 1.5GHz, according to FCC filings
It looks like HTC's Sensation, aka Pyramid, will soon be getting a slight bump in its processor speed. According to a Class II Permissive Change notice approved by the FCC today, the Sensation's CPU frequency will be upgraded to 1.5GHz from its current 1.2GHz speed. That will make the Sensation one of the few dual-core 1.5GHz phones available today.
The Sensation will also get a larger battery. According to HTC's Change Notice, the Sensation will be upgraded to a 1930mAh BG86100 battery – that's quite a big improvement over the Sensation's current 1520mAh battery. It's likely that the new battery will help to preserve the Sensation's battery life with its processor now bumped up to 1.5GHz.

AUG 16, 2013 1:04p ET
Making excuses is one of the easiest things to do when expectations aren't met. It's a cop out, but it convinces enough people to move on. Right after Jennings pointed his finger at his teammates to explain why he couldn't succeed in Milwaukee, Ellis did the same thing Friday at his introductory press conference in Dallas.
"I don't really have to shoot the ball as much on this team," Ellis said. "The previous team I been on, like I said once before, I had to do 60 percent of the work no matter what the situation is. I think with this team here, I don't have to do as much or take as many shots because sometimes they're going to stop me and Dirk (Nowitzki) is going to be open, Jose (Calderon), Devin (Harris), the list goes on and on.
"So, I don't think I have to do as much as I had to do in the previous years. That's going to get me back to being efficient, that's going to get me back to being more consistent and it's going to get me back to playing Monta basketball."
Monta basketball is inefficient. We're supposed to believe he's going to change? This is the same tune Jennings was humming when he was introduced in Detroit. Because the talent around him is better, he's suddenly going to shoot better and completely change his game.
Don't players like Ellis and Jennings want to be "the man?" In no way am I comparing Ellis to LeBron or Kobe, but players like those make teammates better. Milwaukee's former dynamic duo are each good players, but not franchise players. Both think they are, or at least thought they were with the Bucks. If you want the glory when things go well, then take the blame when things don't work out. Neither of them are.
Here's the thing: Ellis is being brought in by the Mavericks to be a main offensive option. Nobody is touching Dirk as Dallas' go-to guy, but Ellis will have to be really good if the Mavericks expect to compete for a decent playoff spot.
Ellis shot 41.5 percent from the field and 28.7 percent on 3-pointers last season, so someone asked him if he's being undervalued because he shot poorly over the past two seasons.
"I'm going to say not really," Ellis said. "You're going to have people who are going to say what they're going to say anyway. I don't think so. I'm fortunate, blessed to have a job and still be doing what I love doing. Like I said, there's going to be things people say that you have no control over so I don't think it is. I just think people have an opinion, they like to state their opinion and that's what it is."
Jennings stopped at how his new teammates are going to help him change his game, but Ellis went a step further. Not only did Milwaukee's talent hold him back, but the city did too.
"When you're in a place where you're unhappy, it's very hard for you to perform to your best ability," Ellis said. "So, I mean, with this new beginning, new fresh start, you know, better organization, you know, better teammates, they're going to make things a lot more better."
I don't blame Ellis for saying he was unhappy or even being unhappy. That's an opinion a person has a right to have, and he wouldn't be the first professional athlete to be unhappy in a city. But why can't you perform to the best of your ability?
It shouldn't be asking too much of a professional to perform to the best of their ability even if they aren't in a place they want to be. But this is another excuse. I think he was playing to the best of his ability last season.
And if he truly wasn't able to perform to his ability, shame on him. It cost him, too. Ellis would have gotten a lot more money had he been able to.
Be thankful Ellis and Jennings are gone, Bucks fans. Both will continue to have solid careers because they are good players, but neither were ever going to be successful as Milwaukee's leader.
Leaders hold themselves accountable. Ellis and Jennings took the easy way out.

I designed this back in December - though of course I haven't even cast on yet. I *HOPE* to get off my butt and buy an easy care yarn to knit the up before the baby is born; but if I get it done in time for her first b-day I'll be happy.
Wow, me impressed as well. I am in such awe oh you designers, I am just the knitter but I love your efforts and I do some knitting for a designer here in Toronto.
Just beautiful, you are so talented. Do you know what weight yarn she used?
she said a "light fingering" on 4 mm needles.
It is so beautiful and you are so talented.
How wonderful, Mario - don't know how I missed your posting that pattern whenever you initially posted. As you might recall, I'm still in Vermont so no knitting for me until I get home at the beginning of March.
I don't think I said anything when I first posted it.
Ooh, that's lovely!!! I will have to give this a try.
I agree with eveyone, it is very nice. It is a lucky child who receives it.
Wow! Nice design. I have to resist picking out yarn and needles to start it. I'm so taken, I want to pore over the picture with a magnifying glass and try charting it myself. However, that wouldn't be fair to you, since you worked hard to design it. Great job! Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Joe - I cannot tell a lie. I wrote it in less then four hours, at work. with a cold. (which is probably why it features duck feet)
But why go through the trouble - the pattern is attached. to the post.
Yowza! Now I really feel awe. Less than 4 hours, at work, with a cold...almost unbelievable. The last time I worked an original lace design (and it was a large doily, not a shawl) it took me a couple of weeks. Of course, I was designing as I knit - charting ideas as I went along. Thanks for the tip on the pdf...d'oh - I should have twigged on that right away. Even as illiterate as I am about computers. Take care. Books, knitting, cats, fountain pens...Life is Good.
Once you know how to get the right shape, it's a matter of plugging in stitches where you want them. And sometimes what you think will work doesn't. Plus I frequently screw up - but luckily - with 2200 plus proffreaders someone will correct me.
MMario - I'm not divorced from reality - we're having a trial separation
Beautiful design Mario. What size is it?
If I had knit it it would be about 70 inches across. I haven't got a dimension out of the test knitter yet. She used 4mm needle rather then the 5 mm I would have. This is also just pinned out flat; she said she hasn't blocked it yet.
I'm lucky to have people willing to knit my designs.
It's beautiful MMario, but I have to admit that you lace knitters make me feel inadequate.
Thanks Lars - I'll try and remember that.
It all the same stitches....and when you make a hole - it's deliberate!
When I have finished EZPZ I might try something with more of those deliberate holes.

The VPOM-3430 offers dramatic gains in developer productivity by integrating with the software developer's preferred environment for application, middleware, operating system and driver development, making it a feasible alternative even after silicon development boards have become available.
The OMAP3430 graphics subsystem incorporates the next-generation imaging, and video and audio accelerator 2 (IVA 2+) standard, enabling system designers to have access to a full simulation of the accelerator. This feature allows developers to efficiently transition from TI's first generation IVA to the second generation IVA 2+ technology and benefit from this new technology today.
The VPOM-3430 models most of the components and peripherals of the OMAP3430 as well as the user interface including touch-screen, stylus and terminals. The VPOM-3430 also supports ARM® TrustZone® technology which enhances the M-shield™ mobile security technology in the TI OMAP3430. This prototype includes the development boards that contain the audio codec and touch screen controller (TSC21001), camera interface (OV9640), various flash memory models and more.
The simulation of TI's TWL4030 Audio/Power Management ICs allows software developers the ability to fully understand the interaction of their software with hardware power management on the OMAP platform as well as on the chip power management hardware. The prototype allows both control of the power management hardware and insight into the interaction of the hardware with the independent power-management services of the operating system.
Advanced Multi-core DebuggingThe VPOM-3430 virtual prototype enables greater debug visibility and efficiency by providing heterogeneous and homogeneous multi-core debugger support, including Texas Instruments Code Composer Studio™.
Debugging multi-core SoCs with virtual prototypes is more efficient than with JTAG and physical hardware because JTAG scan chains only stop one processor at a time. Stopping only one processor at a time makes it nearly impossible for the developer to understand the exact system state with the other processors, which continue running. In the VPOM-3430, the entire set of on-chip cores, including the ARM and DSP cores, stop when either a software or hardware breakpoint is reached. This allows unmatched debug visibility into the complete system, thereby improving developer productivity.
This reference virtual prototype is available on a restricted basis to qualified customers upon request.

According to ESPN:
Ben Roethlisberger was suspended for six games on Wednesday for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy, the NFL announced. The Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback also was ordered to undergo a comprehensive behavioral evaluation. Commissioner Roger Goodell will evaluate Roethlisberger's progress before the season and might consider reducing the suspension to four games. However, a failure to comply with the NFL's ruling might lead to a longer suspension.
In his letter to Roethlisberger, Goodell said:
I recognize that the allegations [of sexual assault] in Georgia were disputed and that they did not result in criminal charges being filed against you. My decision today is not based on a finding that you violated Georgia law, or on a conclusion that differs from that of the local prosecutor. That said, you are held to a higher standard as an NFL player, and there is nothing about your conduct in Milledgeville that can remotely be described as admirable, responsible, or consistent with either the values of the league or the expectations of our fans.
Your conduct raises sufficient concerns that I believe effective intervention now is the best step for your personal and professional welfare.
I believe it is essential that you take full advantage of the resources available to you. My ultimate disposition in this matter will be influenced by the extent to which you do so, what you learn as a result, and a demonstrated commitment to making positive change in your life.
In your six years in the NFL, you have first thrilled and now disappointed a great many people. I urge you to take full advantage of this opportunity to get your life and career back on track.
Good for Roger Goodell — and good for the Steeler organization and the city of Pittsburgh, which is not standing behind Roethlisberger. The disappointment and anger directed at Roethlisberger, who has found himself in trouble before, is hard to overstate. In fact, ESPN reports that the Steelers are entertaining trade offers from other clubs (such a trade would surprise me).
Goodell has made it clear in the past, and with this latest action, that he takes the phrase "integrity of the game" seriously. He understands that athletes, whether they want to or not, are role models, and they should be held to some minimal standards of conduct. And he knows that as commissioner, he has a "brand" — the best in sports — to protect.
I have no idea whether Roethlisberger is going to finally get his life under control, but what Goodell has done will increase the possibility that he will.
What Goodell did was impressive. Ben Roethlisberger is down to his last chance. He can't say he hasn't been warned.

The art of learning
During the 1980s the personal computer changed the way we work and live, creating opportunities never dreamed possible.
Our society can have another wave of creating opportunity more powerful than the PC via public education and workplace leadership.
Today, the public education system inspires maybe 30 percent of our students to develop a love to learn. This is the group that becomes visionaries and entrepreneurs.
That leaves 70 percent who stay with the status quo. What if our education system inspired a life-long love to learn for all students? The former status-quo people would become visionaries, too, many becoming entrepreneurs with ideas never dreamed possible.
Today's public education teaches to the test. Common Core does not motivate or inspire a love to learn; it does just the opposite, learning is something to escape from.
When former students' current skills become obsolete, they are on the street with no hope.
They never learned the art of learning how to learn.

This is war
The extremist group ISIS made a declaration of war against the United States by beheading the captured American journalist, James Foley, which it videotaped.
President Obama came off the golf course to send a three minute message about the murder. He called the extremist group a cancer on the Middle East and condemned the senseless killing of James Foley. The president then went back to finish his round of golf.
British Prime Minister David Cameron, in contrast, rushed back to London to have a Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing St. The prime minister called the beheading deeply shocking,
If ISIS is a cancer on the Middle East then why are the United Nations and the United States not doing more to eradicate the disease sweeping Iraq and Syria? ISIS is the Middle East's Ebola outbreak that has no cure today.

Support for Israel
Over 400 people attended the "We Stand with Israel" community rally sponsored by the Charleston Jewish Federation on Aug. 17. This rally was organized to support Israel in its conflict with Hamas, which has been firing rockets at Israel and digging tunnels with the intent of killing and kidnapping Israelis.
It was also to raise money to support humanitarian services for families in at-risk Israeli communities.
The Aug. 18 Post and Courier article covering the rally contained inaccuracies which need to be corrected. First, the paper reported that the current war between Israel and Hamas started "July 7 with an exchange of rocket fire after Israeli planes damaged a tunnel dug by Hamas from inside the Gaza Strip."
It actually started in June when three Israeli teens were kidnapped and killed on the West Bank by Hamas. While investigating this tragedy, Israel discovered tunnels reaching well into Israel's sovereign territory.
It bears noting that as Israel systematically destroyed these tunnels, it found their points of origin in private homes, mosques, hospitals and other areas in Gaza populated by civilians.
Second, the article included comments by a member of the Central Mosque in Charleston. According to the story, he said the Palestinian people were "more or less unarmed" while fighting the Israeli army.
One can only assume that including this quote was an attempt at "fair and balanced reporting."
In fact, it was neither. Hamas, which controls Gaza, is well equipped with rockets. Hamas has launched over 2,300 rockets into Israel that were not aimed at military targets; in fact, they are not aimed at all.
Given the complexities of the issues and their importance, we were disappointed by the article. We hope that the paper will provide better coverage for future programs.

Pray for America
The Aug. 24 Post and Courier offered a wonderful article on several large Episcopal churches in New York. My local church has enjoyed having two former priests become priests at Trinity, and one became bishop of our diocese.
The beauty and giving are historical truths we all can be proud of. The eye-opener was the $3 billion net worth of Trinity and St. Paul's.
I pray every day for our diocese and the national Episcopal Church. As I study the teachings of our 39 articles and especially Jesus' teachings, I realize the church has lost the spiritual vigor it once lived.
In my humble opinion believers of all faiths need to pray daily for a spiritual revival in America. We don't need to judge others, we need God's hand in all our decisions.

I have been a longtime supporter of the fight against MS. On October 1 & 2, 2011 I will be participating in the National Multiple Sclerosis Society's annual Coastal Challenge Bike Ride in Santa Barbara to raise awareness and funds for a future without MS. This will be my sixth time participating in this event. And due to generous supporters I have been a top fundraiser three times. I am riding for a very good friend who has MS, for your friends and relatives who might be sufferers, and for millions of others whom I don't know. By riding I help raise funds to help the MS Society support more MS research, offer more services for people with MS, provide more professional education programs and further more MS advocacy efforts. National MS Society funded research has so far developed six therapies for the treatment of MS. Unfortunately, the cause and the cure are yet to be discovered, so much more work is needed.
My personal fund-raising goal is $2,500. Please consider helping me achieve this goal by sponsoring my ride. It's easy to make a difference – I have a fundraising page at
So far MS is not preventable and there is no cure, although the MS Society has made progress in treatments for the disease. Those efforts have been funded in part by events like the Coastal Challenge ride. Your generosity and enthusiasm will not only help me reach my goal, but will also make a positive difference in the lives of the hundreds of thousands of people with MS across the country. Thank you in advance for your support.
I appreciate your support and look forward to letting you know how I do. Thank you so much on behalf of the National MS Society and people with MS!

When the new Congress begins on January 5, Democratic Senators Tom Udall (NM) and Jeff Merkley (OR) intend to push for a change in Senate rules. The two extreme outcomes are that there will be no reform at all or that the Senate will adopt rules making it effectively a majority chamber that is like almost every other democratic legislative chamber in the world.
For reasons that fall roughly somewhere between collective hysteria and Stockholm syndrome, the latter option of returning to the original Constitutional intent of majority rule is considered almost unthinkable. The most likely outcome is probably no change at all. Still, there is a real chance that we will see some minor changes made to Senate rules, since the Senate Democratic caucus is now voicing its unanimous support for the general concept of reform, thanks to the unprecedented levels of abuse of Senate rules by Republicans in the two most recent terms.
Given that the developing Democratic consensus is around changes that would make a noticeable impact but are quite minor compared to what is possible, what will likely end up being even more important is how the rules are changed instead of what changes are made.
If the rules are changed at the beginning of the next Congress, it will happen one of only two ways: either they will employ the "Constitutional option" using a simple majority or there will be a bipartisan compromise using a traditional two-thirds vote. Given how modest the changes being debated are, both potential paths might produce very similar changes this time, but which process is used could have a huge long-term impact.
Constitutional option
Udall is pushing the Constitutional option which would have the first day of the new Congress declared the start of a new Senate. Currently, the Senate considers itself a continuous body, unlike the House, which starts anew every two years. As a new Senate, only a simple majority of Senators would be needed to choose to adopt whatever rules they want.
Bipartisan compromise using traditional two-thirds vote
The only other way Senate rules are likely to be change is if Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, along with a large share of his caucus, is convinced Democrats are about to use the Constitutional option. This could convince them to try to reach a bipartisan compromise that might be slightly less far-reaching. Most importantly, these changes would be passed by a vote of 67 or greater, preserving the traditional requirement of a two-thirds vote to end a filibuster on rule changes. McConnell is currently in talks with Harry Reid about such a compromise.
The long-term impact of "how"
If Reid and McConnell do end up reaching a bipartisan compromise, it could possibly doom broader future reform for years. . . .
The modest changes would relieve some of the frustration with current extreme obstructionism by a handful of GOP senators but also would help maintain the mentality that a two-thirds vote is required for rules changes. This is effectively what happened in 1975, when the potential use of the Constitutional option resulted in a bipartisan compromise that brought the requirement for cloture down to 60 votes. We have seen almost no change to the filibuster since then.
On the other hand, if Democrats actually use the Constitutional option with a simple majority vote to make even modest changes, the critical thing is that they are creating a new dynamic. While their changes might not make the Senate function legislatively as a simple majority body, they would establish the precedent that the Senate is ruled by simple majority. In time, I don't think a majority that can decide the rules of the chamber will long tolerate having rules that a minority can use to prevent them from governing the country. Even if Senates in the near future don't officially eliminate the rules allowing a filibuster, the clear statement of precedent that a determined majority can, has, and could again change the rules might be enough in itself to dramatically curb its abuse.

So you guys know how hard it is to find a braider and a good one at that. so as I went to the african although some are quite beautiful. THEY ARE TOO EXPENSIVE and TOO TIGHT. So the othe day I was on craigslist and trying to find some one to do my 3 girl and my hair last minute last week for an appointment on Sunday cause my other braider flaked out and I wasnt really getting calls back from the half dozeb I left message on. Some were to far or too expensive or have something to do.
