Miromar kicks-off Valentine's themed events with Go Red
ESTERO - Bright red stilettos, scarlet dresses, faded red jeans and even shiny red suitcases were in the spotlight during the Go Red Fashion Show at Miromar Outlets last Saturday.A red shoe contest kicked off the mall's lineup of Valentine's themed events for the month of February. This weekend's events include cookie decorating, a Diamond Dig and an opportunity to donate blood.
The Go Red Fashion Show was organized by the American Heart Association to raise awareness for its Go Red for Women campaign.
Miromar merchants provided the fashions, while Envy Models and Talent brought the models, many of whom were title holders from the American Beauty pageants.
The AHA organized an even larger scale display of "red" in downtown Naples last Friday — the official "Wear Red Day" — as hundreds of men and women sprinted down Fifth Avenue decked out in crimson for the Red Dress Dash.
"We're putting the awareness out to women that heart disease is their No. 1 killer, and we want them to pay attention to their heart and know their numbers," said Jennifer Campbell, director of social events for the local chapter of the AHA.
Those numbers include risk factors for developing heart disease, like high blood pressure, body mass index or cholesterol levels. The Go Red Heart Checkup is available at www.goredforwomen.org to help women identify personal risk factors and create a plan for lowering risk of a heart attack.
Other AHA "red" events this month include Dance for Heart at Saks Fifth Avenue Fort Myers on Feb. 21 and free CPR training at Health Park Medical Center from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Feb. 23.
Miromar is teaming up with the Lee Memorial Blood Center, encouraging shoppers to donate blood at the mall this Saturday. The bloodmobile will be stationed by the Reebok store from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Every donor will receive a $5 Miromar Outlets gift card.
For a special Valentine's treat, youngsters will enjoy decorating heart-shaped cookies in Playland from 1-3 p.m. Saturday. Kids can decorate a giant Valentine Feb. 13 as part of Miromar's Free Kids Crafts day every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon.
This Sunday, the holiday festivity continues with a Diamond Dig from 1-3 p.m. in the courtyard by Godiva. Preselected contestants will sift through a pool of sand for colored gemstones. The gem's color will determine which prize they win — ranging from a box of Godiva chocolates to a cruise from Pure Naples.
Enter for a chance to dig at the mall office, Ultra Diamonds, DKNY, Nieman Marcus Last Call or Bailey Banks and Biddle.
The love continues after Valentine's Day when families are invited to an outdoor viewing of Dolphin Tale, the true story of a girl's love for Winter, a dolphin who loses her tail. New at Miromar Outlets, monthly Family Movie Nights offer a chance for families to dine in the restaurant piazza, or bring their own blankets and chairs, while watching a kid-friendly movie in the open air. Dolphin Tale begins at 7 p.m. on Feb. 22.
Valentine's Day is a time to appreciate the ones we love, whether it's though buying them a special gift, simply writing a note or just spending time together. Campbell encourages men and women to not only boldly wear red this month, but also to share the risk factors for heart disease with someone they love.
"The whole month of February is Go Red Month," she said.

Adam Knoff Recaps His Experience at the Teva Mountain Games
Posted by: Adam Knoff | February 17, 2012
Categories: *Guide News
February 10th, Vail, Colorado. The day had finally arrived. The Teva Mountain Games were on and I was ready for my first real climbing competition in years which included a wild race format and bar-none the highest caliber field of competitors I have ever faced. The competition was set up so two competing climbers would scale a 55-foot artificial wall plastered with regular plastic climbing holds like those found in the gym and a new experimental high density foam that was made to mimic real ice. The structure hosted two identical routes, a right one and left one that mirrored each other with every hold being exactly the same on each climb. When the bell went off, both climbers had six minutes to reach the top of the climb but with fast competitors taking less than three minutes per route the winner was decided by whomever climbed the top anchor first. Both climbers were then lowered to the ground and a three minute rest was issued. Then a swapping of sides ensued and a second race began. The combined winner of both races moved on to the next heat.
I almost did really well! Winning my first heat, I went into the second feeling unbeatable. All the fear and intimidation I felt by the big guns waiting to eliminate me vanished. I knew for certain I could hang. This all evaporated when on my first climb of the second heat I placed both tools in a foam hold and while trying to remove the upper one, the lower one blew out and I came whipping off the climb with an audible groan from the crowd. I had been leading the race when I fell and on my second climb of that heat posted the fasted time of the day out of any competitor. And so the hope of an unknown underdog sliding in and cleaning up at the first ever Teva Mountain Games was dashed. Not to worry, I will be back.
I owe RMI a huge thanks for supporting my trip to Vail and giving me the chance to represent them. It is gratifying knowing such a worthy company has my back.

'Lilyhammer' Left-poke review surprises makers
Published on Friday, 24th February, 2012 at 13:02 under the news category, by Lyndsey Smith .
NRK's 'Lilyhammer' series continues its transmission journey 'over there' and is good for Republicans, a US reviewer states.
Frank Tagliano (Steven Van Zandt)

The write-up by American critic John Nolte describes Lilyhammer as being "an absolute breath of politically incorrect air".
He says, "according to the show, the country of Norway is a Leftist's wet dream. There's national healthcare, and everything from hunting to building to creating a new business to getting a driver's license is over-regulated to the point of absurdity."
"Worse still, the men have mostly been emasculated into snivelling, helpless do-gooders who believe in "conflict resolution," the church of trash separation, and accepting the unacceptable when it comes to bureaucratic rules."
In the review, Mr Nolte praises the series for being fresh, funny and addictive, and is not surprised a second series has been commissioned.
He also refers to what he feels is Lilyhammer's attitude towards Norwegian policies like national healthcare and other regulations.
"The entire premise of Lilyhammer is to mock, ridicule and undermine a nanny state that has all but destroyed human ingenuity and creativity", Nolte writes in the blog on Big Hollywood.
Lilyhammer producer Lasse Hallberg told Aftenposten that criticism of Norway's Left Wing was not the intention, however.
"We fell about laughing here in the office when we became aware of the review. I never imagined we would be embraced by the Tea Party Movement in this way."

The HISD Police Department is looking for $800,000 worth of new radios for its officers. Chief Charles Wiley says the current radios have a significant number of dead spots where communication is impossible.
"They can't talk to one another in some cases in the same building much less talk to mobile units outside or a dispatcher several miles away."
The request that goes before the school board will also ask for about $15,000 a year for HISD to be a part of the Harris County emergency radio network. 65 local, state and federal agencies are able to communicate through the system. It meets federal guidelines established following 9/11. Capella Tucker, Houston Public Radio News.

*This AR political intervention could probably be improved by covering London with tens of thousands of tiny but intensely annoying real-life firecrackers.
Detonator: Augmented Reality Playgrounds
by SAHAR FIKOUHI 16 hours 18 minutes ago
An interactive game installation is proposed across a number of sites in London, by introducing a social game intervention known as "Detonator". The game design is configured based on key data relating to the use of landmines during war in many regions of the world, as well as the continued refusal of countries that have not joined an international convention to ban the use of landmines.
This data is mapped on a spatial route around a shame pole (((why are there not more "shame poles"? Probably because we wouldn't be able to drive))) marking structure which provides participants with information and interaction with gaming elements through an augmented reality application.
"A Mine Kafon is utilised in this interactive playground to serve as a mine detonator which is guided by the participants throughout the AR landscape in the quest for full eradication. The main goal of this project is to create gaming hot spots which utilize augmented reality to transform the city into a series of interactive playgrounds. (((Or rather "maimgrounds."))) This ideally responds to the cultural/social and political conditions of the site to create an installation which will be a contextually relevant to the area and make visible the underlining political concerns of the site.
"The application was developed using vuforia augmented reality sdk and unity3d.
"For more information about this project please visit:"

Alan Parsons had dabbled with live performance in his late teens as a folk/blues acoustic player and as a lead guitarist with a blues band in the late sixties. But as soon as he landed a job at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London at the age of 19, it became clear that the world of sound recording was to dominate his career.
He was fortunate enough to work as assistant engineer on the last two albums by The Beatles and after he qualified as a fully-fledged recording engineer, he went on to work with Paul McCartney and The Hollies among many others. But it was his contribution as engineer on Pink Floyd's classic Dark Side OF The Moon that really got him world attention. That soon led to striking successes as a producer - notably with Pilot's Magic, John Miles' Highfly and Music and Steve Harley's (Come Up And See Me) Make Me Smile. He also produced the hugely successful Year Of The Cat album with Al Stewart and two albums with American progressive rock band Ambrosia.
Alan's latest venture is an instructional series about recording called The Art And Science Of Sound Recording. All Our Yesterdays, a song written especially for the series, features some of LA's finest musicians and a rare performance by Alan on lead vocals. Alan lives in Santa Barbara, California with his wife Lisa and her two daughters, Tabitha and Brittni, four dogs, a lop-eared rabbit, and an 18-hand Clydesdale called Dante.

Highlights of the Lake District
In a day:
Morning: Beatrix Potters Gallery and Hill Top
Spend the morning discovering the office of Beatrix Potter's husband, William Heelis, which now contains many of her original watercolours and sketches in this year's exhibition. Then drive five minutes down the road and explore Hill Top, the delightful small farmhouse where she wrote many of her famous stories, kept exactly as she left it.
Afternoon: Steam Yacht Gondola
Travel to Coniston and experience why Beatrix Potter loved the Lake District so much by booking a boat trip on 'Gondola', an original steam yacht that carries you on a trip across Coniston Water – the perfect way to view Coniston's spectacular scenery. Hire the yacht exclusively for your group and book a buffet lunch to savour in its opulently decorated saloons.
Turn your visit into a short break by adding:

Hurricane Sandy Exposes Vulnerability of Cloud Content
"Nitro Nick" Tamburri of AHA & Design in New Jersey has a two-tiered power package for clients. He says clients who have power are thanking him via text message for having systems not based on the cloud.
Has Superstorm Sandy taken a toll on your business? CEDIA and CE Pro want to help by connecting members with members. If you have been negatively affected by Sandy and need… View this discussion thread.
Hurricane Sandy is bringing to light vulnerabilities of how integrators communicate with clients and cloud content.
First, how should you be communicating with your clients during this difficult time without appearing to be an "ambulance chaser" wanting to sell them a backup power system? Most of your clients probably don't have power, especially if they didn't heed your advice to get a whole-house generator. So they can't get your emails and probably don't want to get a phone call from you right now.
It's likely not "business as usual" right now for you either. Even if you (or your technicians) don't have damage to your homes, you are likely in the dark, don't have the ability to put gas in your truck, and even if you could, roads might be impassable.
"Nitro Nick" Tamburri of Aggressive Home Automation & Design in Newark, N.J., is one of those integrators. He is literally "in the dark" but still communicating with his clients the best way he can: via text message.
"They don't want to talk with you right now, but they do want to hear a friendly communication, from anybody. I am just texting them asking, 'Hey, how are you?', and letting them know I can help ... a reassuring voice [or text in reality]," he says. (News reports say 25 percent of cell towers are still down in the affected area four days after the storm.)
Prior to the storm, Tamburri packaged $750 Honda generators with instruction sheets on how to power up the generator and a full 5-gallon gas can for $200 over his cost. That instruction sheet also has other disaster-preparedness tips for clients, including:
- Use LED Christmas lights to illuminate your house (like Nick is currently doing inside his own powerless home)
- Load up on food and water
- Fill plastic Ziplock bags with ice
- Use coolers in your home for milk, fruit and other oft-eaten items that would normally require you to open the refrigerator door (letting out cold air)
He sent some of that advice to his clients before the storm.
For whole-house systems, Tamburri works with his electrician as a trade partner.
"I keep a record of everything I try to sell to every client, so I know which ones bought the generators and which clients did not," he says. He has already heard from numerous clients (who bought generators) praising him for his foresight.
"The Sunday before the storm, my electrician and I installed a whole-house generator system for a big client, but we couldn't fire it up until it is inspected. We did the pressure tests and everything. Finally, the customer was able to pull some strings and get the inspector out," he says, noting what an ironic situation it could have been. The client's power is out from the storm and Tamburri has already heard from them via text thanking him profusely.
What about the Cloud?
Cloud content is all the rage, but Sandy has brought to light a weakness in cloud content. If you don't have power or Internet, you can't access it.
"Of my clients who have generators, the first priority is their safety, of course," says Tamburri. "Well, now they are all sitting around bored stiff because they have no Internet and no cable TV. Those DVD and Blu-ray players I sold them are now worth $1 million to them because they have entertainment."
Nitro Nick says he has never been a big proponent of bringing cloud-based systems to his customers, advising them, "I want something I own and I can put a screwdriver in."

Nice article. Today's businesses don't spend all their time thinking about the worst-case scenario. Still, with the number of natural disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires in just the last year alone, many companies are beginning to recognize that living without a disaster recovery plan is truly risky behavior.
Here's another interesting article talking about Cloud storage, backup and disaster recovery's importance in case of hurricanes or superstorms:

DeCourcy: When I considered the implications of the Gators' loss at Missouri on Tuesday night I was struck more that they've now lost their four most difficult games: at Arizona, against Kansas State in Kansas City, at Arkansas and at Missouri.
One might accuse me of gerrymandering the argument to include the loss to the Razorbacks, given that they're only 77th in the RPI standings, but this is a team that's 15-1 on the court where the Gators played them. That's a .937 winning percentage. In that environment, Arkansas is elite.
In college basketball, even the best teams are going to lose games, and the games they're likely to lose are those that are most difficult. For instance, Michigan State being swept by Indiana. But Michigan State also has defeated Kansas on a neutral court and Wisconsin on the road.
Where is the equivalent achievement for Florida?
It was bothersome to see Florida lose on another wild 3-point attempt by Kenny Boynton, a play that looked like it was very much a leftover or rerun from either of the two most recent Gators seasons. They're better than that now. Junior Scottie Wilbekin showed as much when he stepped up and fired a 3-pointer that temporarily gave the Gators a late lead.
This is a team shooting 49.3 percent from the field. They have options that were left unexplored when Boynton tried that tough, deep 3-pointer with nine seconds left Tuesday night. Playing that way ended the last two Florida seasons in the Elite Eight—which is a heck of an achievement, but not all this team might be capable of achieving.
DeCourcy: Given that it appears Haith still must answer to the NCAA infractions committee—albeit on a lesser charge than many expected upon reading the initial Yahoo! Sports report a couple years back or a recent news story that turned out to be erroneous—it has to be Alden.
Haith received a notice of allegations Tuesday, hours before coaching the Tigers to a 63-60 victory over Florida, and will face a charge of failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance.
One might say there are bosses at the NCAA that were "failing to promote an atmosphere of compliance" in regards to the governing body's rules, too, but the people Haith will confront at a hearing are members of the infractions committee, who are not NCAA employees. So he must defend himself without a hint of irony.
Even if unable to persuade the infractions committee of his innocence, it is unlikely he will face much of a personal penalty.
For his finding of failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance, UConn's Jim Calhoun received a suspension of three conference games last season. Haith could deal with that if he must.
DeCourcy: I was most bothered by Montgomery's initial response when questioned about the incident following the game. Although he acknowledged he "probably over-exaggerated it," Montgomery first declared of his attempt to motivate Crabbe toward a better performance: "It worked, didn't it?"
Indeed, it did work. That's no excuse. And neither is there any excuse for someone as cultured as Montgomery to issue that response.
The proper course of action was to initially offer a private apology to Crabbe and then to publicly declare it had been a mistake and would not be repeated. That would have been enough for me. Retreating after Cal athletics director Sandy Barbour revealed her disapproval of what had occurred was not impressive.
What Montgomery did is unacceptable and unnecessary. It does not merit a suspension, unless it is repeated.
Mike Brey issued the same challenge—"Do you want to play?"—to his flagging Irish when they slumbered through most of the first half of Monday's game at Pitt. But Brey didn't touch anyone. It worked, anyway.
DeCourcy: It seems to me Maryland's pretty easy to figure. The Terps have played nine games against major opponents ranked in the top 100. They lost seven of them. That's pretty much the definition of consistency in college basketball.
Their lack of adequate point guard play, a problem since Mark Turgeon arrived, has them ranked as the 102nd team in offensive efficiency. That pretty much points them toward the bottom of high-major teams in turning possessions into points.
It's hard to win like that.
DeCourcy: Oh, it's not time to say that yet. He is doing a phenomenal job. He might have the pole position for the stretch drive, and unlike Danica Patrick he doesn't owe another 500 miles before being declared the winner.
But what if Saint Louis goes Friday night into Butler's Hinkle Fieldhouse and pulls out another important Atlantic 10 win? Crews has had to deal with being an interim coach, with having first to take over a team whose coach, Rick Majerus, had to depart to deal with health issues, who then had to declare he would retire because of his poor health and who, tragically, passed away during the season.
Majerus was one of those coaches whose impact was so profound it is not easily replicated. But still awaiting final word on whether he'll retained by Saint Louis, Crews has led the Billikens to a 20-5 overall record, a nice non-league win over No. 16 New Mexico, and a 9-2 mark that puts the team alone in first in the A-10.
There's still an opportunity for Crews to close the gap on Larranaga.
And maybe to convince his bosses he deserves the full-time job.

It's been a quiet week at The Treehouse, due to a spot of inpromptu laptop juggling. I proved to be very inept - result, a cracked screen and no blog for a week. Now happily I have a new screen and will be back on track this week. And what better way to start the week than saying Happy Birthday to my Grandma on what would have been her 109th birthday.
Ethel Jones was born in Wales and I always think of her as the Welsh Dragon. She was a red head (she never went grey, just naturally turned strawberry blonde) and had the temperment to match - she certainly wasn't one to hide her feelings. Ethel managed to fall out irrevocably with one of her sisters and had an on-off relationship with the other. She managed to get on better with her brothers, aided no doubt by the fact that they lived far away. I tend to think that we have had little contact with my grandfather's family because she had probably fallen out with them too. How did my grandfather put up with this virago - apparently he was a very easy-going, quiet man and developed the habit of spending his evenings at the pub.
Naturally she didn't like my mother - but here she had met her match. My mother was also Welsh, but rather more subtle. Before my parents' wedding my aunt told my mother that Ethel didn't think that she would be attending the wedding. My mother replied that she didn't recall inviting her! In the end Ethel attended, but I have noticed from the wedding photos that she is resplendent in black.
So, why do I want to remember this irrascible woman? I loved her, of course. I spent a lot of time with her and she was a great companion - always ready for a game, ever keen on an outing to the park. She took me to chapel, to her senior citizen club, to the hairdressers, everywhere. She let me eat sugar lumps and icing sugar on a teaspoon (note to self - Grandma became diabetic). She taught me to count in Welsh. Her size amazed me - she looked like she was trying to smuggle a sofa under her frock. She wore dreadful hats - really dreadful hats! In fact, if she was alive today I would probably take her a new hat and eat some sugar lumps with her. Happy Birthday Ethel x

I absolutely love this post! You really brought your grandmother to life for me and made her real! She sounds like the perfect person that "grew old with grace" - doing whatever and whenever she wanted and getting away with it while there were whispers in the background "you just have to look over her" - I oh so want to grow old like her with grace and spunk!!! She's my idol!

Comments about Holton H105 Professional French Horn:
I am going to be a french horn performance major at University of North Texas so my senior year I went out looking for the perfect horn. I found a 3 year old Holton H105 on hornplayer.net and never thought about it twice. This is the best horn i have ever had the privlege of playing on. It is practically impossible to over-blow the horn, it creates an amazing warm tone and is so easy to play! I highly highly reccomend trying out the H105 if you are considering a professional french horn career. In addition to its technical qualities, the horn is just beautiful! You can be sure that you will turn heads and stand out on stage :)Please, feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions or comments.

The Catholic University for Independent Thinkers
Next Saturday morning, April 20, a group of students will drag themselves out of bed, don their nerdiest attire and gather behind the New Hall at 8:30 a.m. to participate in the Crusaders for Kids 5K Nerd Run. Proceeds from the second annual event will support the Make-A-Wish Foundation of North Texas in its mission to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. The event is organized by Crusaders for Kids, a student club dedicated to visiting hospitalized children.
When Crusaders for Kids Co-President Halley Chavey '13 was 11, she heard a story about the well-known non-profit granting a four-year-old's wish to meet Pope John Paul II.
"The Make-A-Wish Foundation flew his entire family to Rome for a private audience with the pope," she said. "How could you not want to help make those kinds of wishes come true for kids?"
According to Chavey, the 5K grew out of a need for more events for club members.
"Usually we go to children's hospitals in Dallas/Fort Worth, bringing pizza, cookies, nail polish, Nerf® guns and video games so we can hang out with the kids," said Chavey. "We have about 80 members, though, and you can only take groups of about seven people to the hospital at a time. We needed something more to do."
Last year's neon-themed 5K raised $1,000 for Make-A-Wish of North Texas with 35 runners. This year, Crusaders for Kids aims to double that amount. Donations come from the $15 race entry fee and those who sponsor runners.
Prizes of Sfuzzi and Joe's Diner gift cards will be awarded to the 5K winner and best nerd costume. All race participants will receive a nerdy t-shirt designed by Crusaders for Kids Co-President Lauren Masty '13.
Register or sponsor a runner by visiting the Crusaders for Kids 5K Nerd Run website.

CUMBERLAND — Defending state champion Cumberland is not the early-season favorite to repeat, according to no less an authority than Clippers head coach Steve Gordon.
"Warwick Veterans is loaded," Gordon was saying on Wednesday morning, a few hours before his Clippers would face North Providence and Mount Hope in a double-dual meet at Pilgrim High. "They finished six points behind us last year in the state meet and didn't lose anybody."
PAWTUCKET – St. Raphael Academy's Diandra DaRosa may have been the top talent on the floor Tuesday night, but East Providence High proved that team play wins out every time.
Paced by a monster effort by Michaela Wiggins, the Townies held on to defeat the Saints, 55-49, at the Wellness Center. Wiggins, a senior, finished with a game-best 24 points and 22 rebounds, a performance that helped offset the 23 points DaRosa scored for SRA. Shania Connor aided E..P.'s cause with 14 points and eight rebounds.
LINCOLN – It was all Lincoln High all the time on Monday night at the Lions' Den.
Lincoln seized control midway through the first half and never looked back in an eventual 56-41 triumph over Shea in the Division II opener for both schools. The Lions closed the opening half on a game-turning 20-4 run that saw Kent Crooks' team go from down 12-7 to up 27-16 at recess.
PAWTUCKET – Jim Hoyt, the CEO of the Pawtucket Boys & Girls Club, has a vision of taking the two existing preseason boys' basketball tournaments in the city – the James W. Donaldson Memorial Tournament and the Dennis M. Lynch Memorial Tournament – and combining the tradition each one represents. The end result would be an all-inclusive tournament that would serve as the perfect wet-your-whistle appetizer for league play.
PROVIDENCE – Since the Big East expanded to 16 teams in 2005, taking home Player of the Week kudos has been an honor normally doled out to All-American candidates/NBA prospects. With that in mind, it's not every day a Providence College player is bestowed with the conference's top weekly award.
Monday saw the Big East lavish Player of the Week praise upon PC senior Marshon Brooks. The swingman averaged 31.3 points and 8.7 rebounds in three games last week, leading the Friars to a 2-1 mark.
High school football and basketball seasons tend to blend together these days. Super Bowl games are contested in early December while basketball teams practice without a few key players, waiting for point guards and forwards to put down the pigskin and pick up the roundball.
When Woonsocket and St. Raphael Academy met in the Dennis M. Lynch Memorial Tournament championship game on Saturday night, several football players from each school were trying to shake off the rust and get into the flow of their winter sport.
PROVIDENCE — It's very good to be Marshon Brooks these days.
To the Providence College senior, the basket must seem as large and as inviting as Narragansett Bay on a summer's day. The prodigious scoring outputs are quickly becoming a regular feature, as Saturday saw Brooks once again torch the strings with great frequency.
PAWTUCKET — Tolman and Shea put on quite a show for the fans on Friday night during the championship game of the James W. Donaldson Memorial Tournament.
The Tigers and Raiders went toe-to-toe in the second half as Shea rallied to take a 44-43 lead with 1:42 left in the game. Tolman responded with a pair of steals that iced a 48-45 victory.
PAWTUCKET – It will be two former division rivals squaring off for Lynch Memorial Tournament supremacy come Saturday night.
Woonsocket fought back from a 48-42 deficit with less than three minutes remaining to post a 53-48 triumph over defending champion Central Falls Thursday night in opening round action at the Pawtucket Boys & Girls Club. Woonsocket will now take on St. Raphael, which ran past Providence Country Day, 71-45.
PAWTUCKET – It wouldn't have felt the same had Tolman not been playing Shea in the championship of the Donaldson Memorial Tournament. Before such a scenario could be crystalized, Tolman had to get past Pilgrim in Thursday's opening round.
Some things I think I think:
If you want to scare the daylights out of a Yankees fan, mention that A.J. Burnett might have a few problems dealing with Boston's revised 2011 batting order. Now that the Red Sox have added lefty hitters Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford to their lineup, sidearming right-handers like Burnett will be in big trouble against the Sox, who already have J.D. Drew and David Ortiz around as legitimate lefty power hitters.
NEWTON, Mass. – For Providence College, it was a game that shouldn't have come down to a close, but no cigar half-court heave by Vincent Council as the final horn sounded.
Closing hard and fast on Boston College in the final five minutes does not make up for 35 minutes of play in which PC struggled to generate any sort of traction on either end of the floor. The Eagles, who led 52-36 early in the second half and by a 72-60 count with 7:30 to play, tried to give the Friars an early Christmas present but were able to escape with an 88-86 win at Conte Forum Wednesday night.
CUMBERLAND – Until about the midway point of Wednesday night's Division I opener against host Cumberland, nothing seemed to fall for Diandra DaRosa.
But once the St. Raphael Academy sophomore got her shooting touch, there was no stopping her.
The talented point guard, who starred for Tolman last year, tossed in a game-high 29 points, including 22 in the second half as the Saints earned their first league win in nearly two years with a 61-51 victory over the Clippers at the Wellness Center.
PAWTUCKET – The ushering in of a new boys' basketball season means the arrival of two high school tournaments geared towards preserving the memories of a pair of legendary city coaches.
CENTRAL FALLS – Central Falls dedicated its latest Navigant Tip-Off Tournament championship to former coach Joe Handy.
"We wanted to get this one for Joe," said new C.F. coach Nick Lafreniere on Tuesday evening after his Warriors rolled to a 38-24 victory over Davies Tech in the tournament final. "Joe was a mentor and a friend to me and a great coach. I talked to him on the phone today and told him we wanted to win for him."
PAWTUCKET — Looks like American League has a new big bopper to lose sleep over. Yet as teams start assembling scouting reports on newly-minted Red Sox acquisition Adrian Gonzalez, perhaps they would be wise to consult pitchers Rich Hill and Chad Paronto, both of whom toiled for Pawtucket last season.
CRANSTON — Woonsocket High head coach Carnell Henderson has been telling anyone who would listen that football season is a journey that often lasts from August until early December.
"Our kids came a long way from the first game we played Tolman back in September," Henderson said on Sunday afternoon following the Villa Novans' 28-14 victory over the Tigers in the Division II Super Bowl at Cranston Stadium. "We didn't capitalize on some things in the first game (a 6-0 Tolman victory). But that was early in the season. We showed how far we have come today."
PROVIDENCE – If this was a boxing match, a good referee would have intervened and stopped the proceedings before things got too out of hand. It was a total mismatch right from the opening tap.
Providence College was much better than the University of Rhode Island yesterday. The Friars dominated in coasting to an impressive 87-74 triumph over the Rams before a sellout crowd of 12,410 at the Dunkin' Donuts Center. PC led by a dozen in the first half before going up as many as 17 points late in the game.
"Winning isn't everything … it's the only thing."
Most people attribute this quote to legendary Green Bay Packers coach Vince Lombardi. Actually, Vince borrowed it from a former UCLA football coach named Red Sanders. Its true meaning is hard to miss. Winning is the only thing that matters.
NORTH SMITHFIELD –Kent Crooks realizes that this year's squad doesn't really have a superstar or a good-to guy.
What the Lincoln High coach does know is that he has multiple players that can get the job done.
And that was clearly on display during Friday night's non-league Injury Fund contest versus North Smithfield.
Three players scored in double digits and half a dozen netted at least six points as the Lions breezed to a 76-38 win over a somewhat-shorthanded Northmen squad at the Lovett Gymnasium. Lincoln was led by a team-high 16 points from Mike Akanji.

Food Safety Commission clears Irish beef
The Food Safety Commission yesterday assured consumers all beef imported from Ireland is safe for consumption.
The Irish Food Safety Authority informed the commission there was no need to seize all beef from the market following fears that the product possessed high levels of polychlorinated biphenyl.
Irish beef was being monitored after the food scare spread from pork to beef.
Beef farms became embroiled in the scare that has devastated Ireland's pork industry as cancer-causing dioxins were found in 11 cattle herds tested.
Since dioxins were first found in Irish pork, products were recalled from 21 countries. Over 1,700 pork factory workers lost their jobs only three days into the crisis.
Maltese consumers have been advised not to consume Irish pork and bacon products at this time as a precautionary measure, although the tainted products are not likely to have reached the local market.
The authorities said yesterday all tests carried out on beef have ruled out any contamination.

A dramatic deer rescue was caught on tape in Nova Scotia on Thursday. The video shot by Ian Waugh shows the doe and fawn struggling on the thin ice, for hours as they kept losing their footing. Rescue efforts were made impossible by foot as the ice was too thin, leaving the doe and her fawn in a precarious position. In a unique rescue a helicopter saved the day: A downdraft from the helicopter's rotter was used to blow the deer to shore on the slippery ice. At first the two were nervous but eventually they let the helicopter blow them to safety. Unlike in the story of Bambi this Fawn did not loss her mum as they both walked back into the safety of the woods. Video Courtesy OF Reuters

I've just got a Foscam FI8918W and connected it my network via wifi and setup the Surveillance station on my DS212j (DSM 3.2:1955).
I'm having a problem with the Live View. It works for about 10 seconds then disconnects.
If I change to Timeline or Management tab and then back to Live View - it comes back on for another 10 seconds.
The camera is working fine, it is still connected to the network, it still records image to the video recording function. If I look at it via the Foscam software it works fine with no dropping out.
I tried this on ie9 and Firefox, also on Windows 7 and Vista.
So, why would the "live view" keep dropping out?
Any ideas?

Baptist Collegiate Ministries
The Baptist Collegiate Ministries of Louisiana College is doing its part to carry out the mission of LC to change the world for Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. This past July, the BCM headed up a cultural exchange trip to Haining, China that paired LC students with Chinese high school students for the better half of a month. While living with the Chinese in Haining and back here in Pineville, our students presented the love of Christ, the message of the gospel, and the hope of new life in Jesus.
This resulted in nearly 30 Chinese students hearing about Jesus for the first time. Even more so, that message was adorned by a genuine love that was displayed during the exchange. All of the Chinese students returned home with Mandarin bibles, which they asked for personally. Please pray for the gospel to take root in their hearts. This spring, the BCM will be traveling to the Muslim country of Turkey where students will bring the light of the gospel to a country of seventy million lost souls. This wonderful region presents students with the opportunity to engage a relatively docile Muslim culture while exposingthem to the spiritual needs that exist in the Middle East.
Furthermore, students are shown how the Church is persevering outside of the U.S. and are able to discern whether or not the Lord is calling them to that harvest field. Please pray that the Lord would call many missionaries from the group that goes to Turkey this spring.

MLB: A look inside the new Marlins Park
MIAMI - Now that the major-league teams have packed up their things and headed north after their annual ritual of spring training, baseball aficionados in South Florida might feel some withdrawal symptoms.
But take heart, fans, there is a brand new shrine to the national pastime just a short trip away. You won't even need to cross an ocean to get there — just a big swamp.
The Miami Marlins opened their new ballpark Wednesday night against the St. Louis Cardinals. Although the Fish lost the game 4-1 — and didn't register a hit until the seventh inning — the grand opening was still a success.
"It's great. I've been a Marlins fan since day one" Jeff Nettleman said after being the first fan to pass through the gates of Marlins Park. "The whole park is great. I mean we are in here now and it is cool. Outside it is 89 degrees."
"They've got potential they never had before," Commissioner Bud Selig said of the newest big-league stadium.
The sellout crowd of 36,601 came from all over Florida to welcome the Marlins to their new home. Some drove in from distances far greater than Collier County.
Rich Driscoll, 62, and his wife, Sam, drove all the way from Jacksonville to be there.
"It was a long, tiring drive for us, but we wouldn't have missed it for the world.," Rich said. "We've both been Marlins fans since they were the only team Florida had to root for but we never got a chance to see them in person. We decided today was the perfect time."
"It was a great excuse for a road trip," said Sam Baker, who made the drive from Daytona. "I had to see the new stadium after all the good stuff I heard about it."
With the Everglades standing between the two coasts of Florida, the distance can seem a bit daunting for some on the Gulf side. But if the colorful and spirited atmosphere of opening night is any indication, the drive is well worth it for the residents of Collier County. Depending on your whereabouts in Southwest Florida, a drive to the new stadium can take as little as two hours using Alligator Alley and Interstate 95.
For those that decide to make the trip, the new park features a whole slew of amenities that weren't available at Sun Life Stadium. Highlights of the new $551 million park include a retractable roof, a swimming pool and lounge beyond the left field fence, as well as a marine aquarium embedded in the backstop behind home plate.
"Everyone should feel at home here," Marlins owner Jeffrey Loria said. "This is a place to celebrate baseball, art and the union of our great diversity. At Marlins Park, we're going to see families, neighbors, friends, visitors, and they'll enjoy this great stadium that connects the past to the future."
Another unique feature of the ballpark is the 75-foot sculpture in center field that lights up and sends giant painted marlins into motion after a Miami player hits a home run. Although it has been widely panned since it was first announced, the fans in attendance on Wednesday seemed to be warming up to the creation, even though it didn't get any use on opening night.
"It's kind of weird," Baker said. "But I think it fits with this city. I mean, it isn't the kind of thing you would see at Wrigley or something, but here it works."
"I think the home run area is my favorite," admitted Nettleman. "I like it."
If you want to see the theatrics, though, you will have to buy a ticket. After finishing in the bottom three of the league in attendance every year since 2005 (and in 10 of the last 11 seasons), the new park is expected to be a big draw. Tickets start at $13 for reserved seating in the 300 level and range all the way up to $250 for a club level box seat. A typical baseline reserved seat will cost around $35.
No matter where your ticket happens to be, you are assured of a 360-degree view without obstruction.
Parking around the stadium can be difficult. On-site parking is extremely limited and can only accommodate a total of 5,700 vehicles. According to the team, approximately 8,000 parking spaces are available from private residences around the park but prices can reach as high as $30. Some independent options may includes walks as far as two miles from the stadium. If possible, fans should take advantage of the prepaid option available for one of the four garages. Fans can visit marlins.com/parking for more information on Marlins Park public transportation and parking.

Turn Around
Betty, 1988 by Gerhard Richter, St. Louis Art Museum (copyright Gerhard Richter).
What looks to be a photograph is actually a painting of the artist's daughter. It cannot be considered a true portrait when it is of the back of the subject but he lovingly portrays the his subject. His style has varied a lot over the years from photo-realistic paintings like to the very abstract.

Thats a beautiful image! The lack of detail (face) is so significant and seems to relate to the work of Helen Wright who has been exploring the idea that removing the detail that we associate with faces reveals that we really don't know much about the people we think we know everything about!
Reminds me of a shot near the end of Andrei Tarkovksy's film 'Mirror' (1974), when a woman is asked by her husband (presumably after making love?) in a field whether she wants a boy or girl. She looks away from camera just like this painting (and, after a while, a long pause, ravishingly directly into the camera - and at us watching).

It is definitely an arresting painting in person although I didn't experience it as a "loving" portrayal. I saw it in the context of his retrospective at SFMOMA and I was left with a feeling of distance and blunted affection. It was an amazing show.

Why Texas gets a D+ grade for corruption risk
State integrity news for Texas, from SII parter KERA:
Texas ranks in the bottom half of all states for being vulnerable to corruption. That's one of the findings of the extensive State Integrity Investigation that was recently released. It gave Texas a grade of D+.
During a live, hour-long call-in program KERA's Shelley Kofler took a closer look at several areas in which Texas scored poorly: access to public information, campaign financing and conflicts of interest.
Listen to the discussion at KERA.
Answering the questions raised by Ohio's 'D' grade for corruption risk
State integrity news for Ohio, from WCPN:
Ohio received a poor grade in a recent study looking at policies and practices guarding against public corruption. Does the "D" on the report card mean taxpayers are more likely to get their pockets picked?
We'll meet the author of Ohio's State Integrity Audit, talk about why Ohio got such a poor grade and explore critics' claims that the report is too subjective.
Listen to the discussion at WCPN.
Missouri politics dominated by big money, secrecy
State integrity news for Missouri, from SII partner KCUR:
Missouri is the only state where someone could donate $1 million to a political campaign, cover it up, and not have broken the law. Before he was a member of the Missouri House, Jason Kander was in army intelligence in Afghanistan – doing anti-corruption work in the Afghan government. He said that taught him some lessons that resulted in disappointment after he returned home.
"Basically it was my job to figure out which bad guys were pretending to be good guys," says Kander, "and when I came home and I ran for the legislature and I got to Jefferson City I found that it just, frankly, was not as different from Kabul as it should be."

Massachusetts budget is a "Members only" process
State integrity news for Massachusetts, from SII partner WBUR:
The Massachusetts House of Representatives approved a $32.4 billion budget at midnight on Wednesday. Late-night sessions and closed-door caucuses are just part of a process that one nonprofit organization thinks lacks transparency.
The Center for Public Integrity gave the commonwealth an F for its state budget process on its "Corruption Risk Report Card."

Judicial elections complicate justice system in North Carolina
State integrity news for North Carolina from SII partner WFAE:
Judicial elections are non-partisan, which means voters can't pick the easy way out and vote straight Democrat or Republican. But judicial candidates are also limited in what they can say about how they would rule in cases - so that makes it hard for voters to choose.

Washington Supreme Court ruling supports state's 'B-' grade for open records
State integrity news for Washington, from SII partner KUOW:
A recent public radio investigation ranked Washington state second in the nation for government transparency. According to the State Integrity Investigation, only Connecticut did a better job of providing public access to public information.
As one quadriplegic man from Seattle learned, that doesn't mean it's easy to pry information out of Washington state agencies. But Thursday, it got a little easier. KUOW's John Ryan reports.

Oregon gets a D- grade on campaign finance integrity
State integrity news for Oregon, from SII partner OPB:
Oregon gets a high transparency score for the way the state's database, ORESTAR, lets you see money moving in and out of lawmakers' political action committees.
But it's the sheer volume of those donations that dragged down the state's grade. There's no limit to the amount of money you can give to a candidate or party.

Texas legislators review state ethics commission's performance
State integrity news for Texas from SII partner station KUT:
It's the Ethics Commission's turn to go through the review process given to all state agencies to make sure they're doing their job efficiently. Based on staff recommendations and lawmaker amendments, the Ethics Commission could simply be reauthorized, or it could undergo dramatic changes.
Public Citizen's Tom "Smitty" Smith thinks scrapping it and starting over might not be a bad idea.

The Tavis Smiley Show
Gordon Witkin of the Center for Public Integrity discussed the State Corruption Investigation on the Tavis Smiley Show. The program is distributed by PRI to more than 100 radio stations. They discuss the Investigation's methodology and its sometimes surprising findings.
New Hampshire reacts to 'D' grade for corruption risk
State integrity news for New Hampshire, from SII partner New Hampshire Public Radio:
We sift through a new study that gives New Hampshire low marks in what it calls "integrity" in State government. While the report says the Granite state does well in some areas like the Executive and Judicial branches, it failed in others like public access to information and ethics enforcement.
Listen to the discussion at New Hampshire Public Radio.

Comments about Vic Firth Charlie Benante Signature Sticks:
Hit Harder and Last Longer!!!!!!
The Best!
Comments about Vic Firth Charlie Benante Signature Sticks:
These cannot, will not, shall not dissappoint!
What can I say about these sticks other than they nothing short of simply amazing. Im the kind of drummer who plays and get so into the music and mood of the song so, hitting the ever living crap out of my cymbals is bound to happen but, I grew tired of my sticks constantly. Now these sticks and incredibly durable! I have had them for about a month now and they still haven't began break down or anything! The grip on the stick is amazing for those who's hands begin to sweat because the stick WILL NOT SLIDE OUT OF YOU HAND! The weight of the stick also helps keep your momentum because its not a light stick but, it is not heavy either. The head of the stick goes from thin to a thicker body which is great if you tend to play your crash with the body rather than the very head of the stick. Simply, these sticks will last and cannot dissapoint if you purchase them. I recommend these over all the other sticks out there.
Very durable and very strong. Highly recommended.
These are definelty worth the price.

Good citizens
Recently, after completing my walk at the Aquatic Center Park, I headed home. As I approached Henderson, I noticed several cars stopped at the stop sign. Briskly, I started across Henderson, but after several steps, I started falling forward, either by tripping over my own two feet or an object on the road, ending in the road just past the row of cars.
I attempted to immediately get back on my feet, but was having some difficulty in doing so. Quickly, a young lady from the first car in line was at my side and helped me up. She asked how I felt and volunteered to call my family or someone to come and pick me up. I thankfully declined her offer, which she repeated, but I again refused and headed home.
About a block and a half later, a young man in a red pickup, whom I believe had been second in the line of cars, drove up and inquired how I felt and offered to drive me home. I thanked him for his concern and offer, but refused and headed home, periodically wiping blood from my cheek.
Arriving home, as I was washing the blood from my face, I noticed several gashes around my forehead area. The two young people had made a much better assessment of my condition than I had. My wife, Mona, immediately assembled the medical necessities and fixed me up.
Many heartfelt thanks to those who offered assistance; unfortunately, I did not ask their names. Maybe I can use the fall as an excuse for my bad manners. We, in Ventura, are indeed fortunate to have such great neighbors and citizens.

DAVAGE, MATTHEW SIMPSON (1879–1976). Matthew S. Davage, black educator and Methodist churchman, the son of Rev. Samuel and Harriet (Lee) Davage, was born on June 16, 1879, in Shreveport, Louisiana. The family moved to New Orleans, where Davage attended New Orleans University (later called Dillard) and was the catcher and captain of the University Nine baseball team. He was eighteen years old and still a full-time student at New Orleans University when he began teaching school in the evening. Upon graduating from the Classical Department at New Orleans University in 1900, Davage began teaching mathematics and Latin and did postgraduate study at the University of Chicago and Columbia University. He married Alice Vera Armstead in 1904. He held the chair in math at New Orleans University and was business manager for the Southwestern Christian Advocate from 1905 to 1915. He presided over Methodist institutions of higher learning for most of his professional career. He served as president of George R. Smith College at Sedalia, Missouri, 1915–16; Haven Institute, Meridian, Mississippi, 1916–17; Samuel Huston College, Austin, Texas, 1917–20; Rust College, Holly Springs, Mississippi, 1920–24; and Clark University, Atlanta, Georgia, 1924–41.
Davage was a member of the board of trustees of eight colleges and secretary of the Department of Higher Education of the Methodist Board of Education for twelve years. From 1940 to 1952 he was director of all Methodist colleges for African Americans in the United States. He helped obtain accreditation for the colleges he served. He was also instrumental in building and stabilizing the finances of the colleges under his jurisdiction. He raised the combined operating budgets of these schools to more than $5.3 million. He was elected a member of the Methodist quadrennial General Council eleven times and served as a member of the Methodist ecumenical conferences from 1931 to 1951. He was also a member of the administrative board of the Commission on Christian Higher Education of the Association of American Colleges and held the record for the longest tenure on the Methodist Board of Publications. Davage led the movement to merge Samuel Huston and Tillotson colleges in Austin and became interim president of the new Huston-Tillotson College. He guided the transition period of the new college until his retirement in 1955. He died in a New Orleans hospital on September 20, 1976.

That was The Sporting News' Matt Hayes, who liked Wisconsin more than he liked Ohio State or Penn State. Why the Badgers? "Least amount of questions, least of amount of turmoil,'' Hayes said.
Last summer, Hayes wrote a profile on North Carolina State quarterback Russell Wilson. "And he made it very clear to me that he was playing football all four years,'' Hayes said.
But where? In mid-June, Wilson was still pondering his options -- Wisconsin or Auburn -- when Hayes said, "Russell Wilson is an elite quarterback. I don't think people realize how good this kid is.''
Hayes then made the argument for Wilson choosing the UW.
"If you're Russell Wilson and you have one more year of football to play,'' he said, " and you haven't won a championship and haven't been to a big bowl, you look at the two rosters and ...
"Wisconsin is more set up to win a championship and go to a BCS bowl than Auburn.''
Hayes has the utmost respect for NC State coach Tom O'Brien, who's entering his sixth season with a 25-25 record and junior Mike Glennon as his replacement for Wilson.
"He's big on chemistry,'' Hayes said of O'Brien, who was unhappy with Wilson's decision to play baseball in the spring and summer because he felt that it took away from his football commitment.
O'Brien thus shut the door on Wilson and opened it for Glennon to be his starter.
"He's very talented, but he's certainly not Russell Wilson,'' Hayes said.
How unique is Wilson? At the end of the 2010 season, Wilson was one of just three active quarterbacks with at least 1,000 yards rushing and 8,000 yards passing.
TCU's Andy Dalton and Nevada's Colin Kaepernick were the others. Both have graduated. That leaves Wilson, who has thrown for 8,545 yards and 76 touchdowns and rushed for 1,083 and 17 scores.
Last season, Wilson was responsible for 37 touchdowns, trying Philip Rivers' school record. "He's a dual-threat quarterback; a dynamic player with a strong arm,'' Hayes said.
Why hasn't he received more national notoriety?
"Playing at NC State, you're not going to be seen that much,'' Hayes added.
In The Sporting News' College Football preseason rankings, the Badgers were listed No. 25.
"If Russell Wilson goes there,'' Hayes said on June 14, "I think they're a legitimate Top 10.''
In the July 4 edition of The Sporting News Magazine, Hayes had his byline on the story announcing the publication's preseason ranking of all 120 FBS teams in college football.
Wisconsin was No. 10.
"Excited to be in the Top 10,'' said UW coach Bret Bielema. "It's a great recognition of what we've accomplished in the past and what our team expects and is working to achieve in the future.''
How did Matt Hayes sum up Russell Wilson?
"He's a great kid who loves to play sports,'' he said.

PIC: Stacey Keibler Goes to George Clooney's House
To Clooney's house we go!
Stacey Keibler paid a house call to George Clooney's Studio City, Calif. pad on Sunday afternoon. The actress, DWTS alum and former wrestler was photographed driving her car through the gates of the Oscar-winning hunk's home.
PHOTOS: Who else has George dated?
As of Monday morning, Keibler, 31, hadn't yet been spotted exiting the premises.
Last Thursday, sources confirmed to Us Weekly that Keibler has been quietly dating Clooney, 50, since shortly after his breakup with Elisabetta Canalis.
PHOTOS: George and Elisabetta's two-year romance
"It's more than just a fling," one Keibler confidante says. The twosome have known each other "four to five years" and have spent time together in London, at Clooney's Lake Como estate in Italy -- and now close to Hollywood.
PHOTOS: See Stacy's incredible bikini bod
"They're basically exclusive at this point," adds the insider.

The Gross Receipts Tax revenue for fiscal year 2013 and for future years, is projected to be significantly lower than in previous years. Since this is the primary funding source for most general governmental operations and capital projects, some changes must be made in order to move back toward having a balanced budget.
Given this context, Council would expect that the FY 2014 proposed budget would be developed with noticeable changes in all of the following six categories. Changes in each area should be pursued to the extent deemed helpful and practical.
1. Fund balance — use of fund balance is expected when severe revenue fluctuations occur. The following parameters serve as guidelines.
a. Use of up to 100 percent of the fund balance committed for revenue stabilization through the end of FY 2016 is acceptable as long as the projected balance at the end of FY 2017 returns to the policy target level of 5 percent of revenues. This is an extension beyond the current financial policies.
b. Manage all other variables so that the unassigned fund balance is maintained at the policy target level of 20 percent of revenues.
c. Re-evaluate all fund balance levels for potential re-programming and possible re-capture back into the general fund.

fingers.......and something for pentration....well, that's what all those "jokes" about cucumbers are about.
- Response by msadvise, A Thinker, Female, Who Cares?
Use something like a carrot or brush handle for a dildo. You can use the bathtub faucet as a vibrator or a detachible shower head. I like to use a brush handle and a broken electric razor at the same time. Make sure you take the razor apart til you see just a little piece vibrating when you turn it on. Make sure to put fabric between you and the razor if you do, and obviously make sure its safe. Have fun :)
