Nice. The guy doesn't even have the decency to dump me in private. There are other couples just a few feet away — smiling, laughing, touching couples — while I go home alone, rejected, unwanted, dumped. I hate them.
I jump up and stomp past the other couples to Marty's car. He follows.
I peel off my shoes with a groan and toss them to the floor of the car. "These things kill my feet!" They're 4-inch, open-toe wedges — Barbie shoes — and I've only worn them once before. My toes are blistered and red.
"But they're fantastic shoes!" Marty punches his sissy little ignition button and says with an imperious sniff. "There's a price to be paid."
A price to be paid? Excuse me? Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm guessing this man has never gone to work with a burn on his forehead from a hot curling iron, never suffered puncture wounds from an underwire bra, never shown up to an anniversary party with hives all over his brow and lip because of an allergy to wax.
What a jerk. For a moment, I'm relieved that he dumped me.
But just for a moment.
Thing is, Marty seemed so promising in the beginning. He titled his Match.com profile, "Learning. Laughing. Loving."
My profile header was "Just A Big Hunk O' Love Will Do," which I almost deleted because I was afraid it made me sound like I had a fat fetish. It's a line from an Elvis song. I was hoping an Elvis fan would recognize it and respond with the next line. No one did.
Love is not what Marty was after, and that's where the whole thing went wrong. That's where I went wrong. He warned me on the first date that he wasn't ready to fall in love. He also said, "I could fall for you so fast."
Which message do you think I heard? The one I wanted to hear, of course, which would be the second one. That's because I am a woman, and also because I am stupid.
On our first date, we conversed so easily that the server came back twice before we even opened our menus. It was more like catching up with a long-lost friend than a blind date. We were so simpatico. We're both former teachers who dabble in journalism. He is an adoptive father; I am an adopted child. He wears a hearing aid; I wear two. We were so excited to share a hearing problem that we plucked out our hearing aids and laid them on the table, comparing them and exclaiming over them as if they were iPhones.
After dinner, we walked the boardwalk. It was like a movie scene: warm May night, sunset over the lake, a handful of runners and walkers grinning at us because we looked like two people falling in love — walking hand-in-hand, talking, laughing and kissing.
When I revealed I'm an Elvis fan, he said arrogantly, "I don't get the appeal." I stamped my foot and said, "Damn it! And it was going so well!" He pulled playfully on my arm and we simpered at each other like a pair of schoolchildren.
Instead of laughing at his condescending attitude toward Elvis, I should've pushed him into the lake. Unfortunately, there were too many potential witnesses. If a guy with Marty's intellect and perception doesn't "get" Elvis' appeal, he's being deliberately obtuse. In other words, he's a snob. (I promise my next column will make no mention of Elvis. Crap. There goes half my column right there.)
The feeling that we were simpatico so strong that I didn't care that Marty was an Elvis snob. I didn't care that he was a terrible kisser, an annoying driver or irritatingly officious. I felt more like myself when I was with Marty than I had felt in years. We went on a second date and a third, and then I lost count. I passed many a giddy summer night in Marty's company.
But I fell in love and Marty did not. And that was that.
Three months after the brutal public dumping, I have closed my Match.com account. I can't afford it. I can purchase "Fifty Shades of Grey" and a "personal massager" for less than a Match membership. A personal massager wouldn't stomp on my heart like it was the grapes at the Salmon Festival and it wouldn't dump me in public. Now where's my credit card?

Jack Newton opened the fourth quarter with his third goal of the game, giving Hamilton a three-goal lead. Tim Loveless and Peter Dolan answered for St. Lawrence midway through the fourth, pulling the Saints to within a goal at 10-9. With 5:02 to play Newton spotted Henry across the crease and gave him a great pass. Henry gathered the ball and quick sticked it past Salotti, giving Hamilton an 11-9 lead. Tim Loveless scored with 21 seconds remaining in the fourth, pulling the Saints to within a goal but Hamilton's Sean Lackaye won the ensuing face-off, preserving the win for Hamilton.

BBC And PBS TO Bring Second Season Of Critically Acclaimed Drama "CALL THE MIDWIFE" To The U.S.
- New Season to Premiere on Sunday, March 31st at 8:00 p.m. -
BBC Worldwide America Sales & Distribution and PBS announced that they have signed a deal that brings a second season of the critically-acclaimed British drama CALL THE MIDWIFE to PBS, with new episodes to start airing on March 31, 2013, at 8:00 p.m. ET.
The six episodes of CALL THE MIDWIFE season one drew an average household audience rating of 2.1, translating into 3.0 million viewers - 50 percent above PBS' primetime average for the 2011-12 season. The new season will lead into MASTERPIECE's highly anticipated "Mr. Selfridge," solidifying Sunday nights as a destination for quality drama on PBS.
Matt Forde, Executive Vice President, Sales and Co-Productions, BBC Worldwide Americas said: "CALL THE MIDWIFE has now proven itself a hit show on both sides of the Atlantic, attracting record audiences in the UK and taking huge rating strides in the U.S. in its first season. The show is a great complement to PBS' popular line-up of powerful dramas and we are certain the show's second season will continue to captivate and inspire."
"We were so pleased with the overwhelming response we received to CALL THE MIDWIFE that we, along with our fans, can't wait until the second season premiere," said John F. Wilson, Senior Vice President & Chief TV Programming Executive. "It's exactly the kind of inventive, quality programming people expect from PBS, and it has helped us strengthen our Sunday night programming block into a true destination for drama fans."
Written by Heidi Thomas ("Cranford," "Upstairs Downstairs") and directed by Philippa Lowthorpe ("Five Daughters") and Jamie Payne ("The Hour"), CALL THE MIDWIFE completed its first season in the U.S. in early November. In its UK debut, the series attracted 11.4 million viewers for its peak episode, making it the highest-rated BBC new drama launch on record. Audiences and critics in the U.S. were equally effusive, with the Washington Post declaring it "absorbing and inspiring" and the Los Angeles Times saying it is "lovely and engaging." TV Guide simply proclaimed it a "keeper."
CALL THE MIDWIFE, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, is a highlight of PBS' spring season. Extended to eight episodes, BBC One's most successful new drama since ratings began sees the return of all its well-loved characters, as well as some new faces. Nonnatus House opens its doors to warmly welcome the audience back into 1950s East End London and continues to follow Poplar's community of exceptional midwives and nursing nuns. The new season stays true to its roots - viewers can expect to see more births, babies and bicycling, plus blossoming romance from an unexpected quarter.
"PBS has been the perfect home for our show," said executive producer Pippa Harris, "and we are all thrilled that American audiences have embraced the midwives and nuns of London's East End so warmly. It's a testament to the enduring appeal of Jennifer Worth's books, the skill of screen writer Heidi Thomas and the huge talent of our cast and crew. The show is a celebration of birth, community and care for the most vulnerable in society, and we all look forward to delivering another season of moving and uplifting episodes next year."
CALL THE MIDWIFE stars Jessica Raine as Jenny Lee, along with Jenny Agutter ("The Railway Children," "Spooks") as Sister Julienne, Pam Ferris ("Little Dorrit," "Darling Buds of May") as Sister Evangelina, Miranda Hart ("Miranda") as Chummy, Judy Parfitt ("Little Dorrit," Girl with a Pearl Earring) as Sister Monica Joan, Helen George ("Hollyoaks," "Doctors") as Trixie Franklin, Bryony Hannah (Cemetery Junction) as Cynthia Miller, Laura Main ("Monarch of the Glen") as Sister Bernadette and Cliff Parisi ("East Enders") as Fred. Vanessa Redgrave provides the voice of the mature Jennifer.
The deal was brokered by Jemma Adkins, Senior VP Sales and Co-productions, BBC Worldwide America.
CALL THE MIDWIFE is a Neal Street production for BBC, executive produced by Pippa Harris (Revolutionary Road, "The Hollow Crown") and Heidi Thomas. The series is produced by Hugh Warren ("Survivors").

Safety is our number one concern at HP-eh Paintball. A question a lot of people ask is in fact, "Is paintball safe?". There have been studies done by insurance companies and hospitals, showing that paintball is one of the safest sports. A study published in 2001 stated that the number of injuries yearly per 1000 participants in paintball was .24. That's less than 1 in 4000 players!
Every group or player that comes to our field is assigned a referee for their stay. Our referees are fully trained to know and understand the rules of play at the field and are here to ensure that the players are following those rules. Before any player is allowed on our fields, the rules of play are explained to them in detail. Players will be given warnings if rules are not followed and if players refuse to follow the safety rules, they will be asked to leave the game for their safety & the safety of the other players.
The two most important rules in paintball are to keep your goggles on at all times while in the playing field and to keep your barrel cover on your marker when you are off of the playing field. When the safety rules are followed, paintball is an extremely safe sport.

Submission Flash carts deemed legal by French court->
Hatta writes: From MaxConsole: Nintendo has today lost a major court case against the Divineo group in the main court of Paris. Nintendo originally took the group to court over DS flash carts, however the judge today has ruled against Nintendo and suggested that they are purposely locking out developers from their consoles and things should be more like Windows where ANYONE can develop any application if they wish to.

The True Power of CryENGINE 2
"Fancy gaming on a map 458 time larger than the EARTHS surface?!"
Published: 22nd January 2008 | Source: Playfuls |
When Crytek said that Crysis is "future proof" they really meant what they said... And if you ever wondered why your insanely high-end computer kneels and bows before the 1+ million lines of code, 1GB of textures and 85,000 shaders that the game currently packs, well just read this: the absolute maximum size of a map in Crysis can reach the mind-boggling value of 68,719,476,736 square kilometers!!!!! Yeah, that's more than 68.7 billion... And you know what? Earth's entire surface "barely" reaches 150,000,000 square kilometers, so with Crytek's SandBox editor one can theoretically create a map approximately 458 times bigger than the area of Earth...
That means that if you want to have like... our planet's entire population playing Crysis simultaneously on multiplayer, a single player would have to walk around 10 square kilometers to meet its next opponent on that huge map...
Now THAT is what I call future proof... But I just wonder, what kind of super-computer, super-server-cluster monstrosity would render even half of that huge map?...

Paris Hilton describes herself as a businesswoman mostly because, in the years she's been in the spotlight, she's done everything from launching perfumes and fashion lines, to starring in movies and reality shows and, of course, recording music. She's now gunning for a DJ career.
Fans must know that the socialite has been hard at work on her second music album literally for years, so perhaps a decision to target a different audience with a different sound might be just what she needs to finally get that album out on the market.
However, her decision to turn DJ – as she made it clear at the Pop Music Festival in Sao Paolo, Brazil – has been welcomed with sneers and jeers both by music lovers in general and world famous DJs.
One of them is Deadmau5, who is making no secret of how much he hates hearing Paris Hilton's name spoken in reference to the DJ-ing profession.
"AS I WAS SAYING... its over," Deadmau5 writes on his Twitter page, including a link to a video of Paris spinning tables in Sao Paolo, which you can also see below, embedded at the end of the article.
"to be fair... the mayans saw this [expletive] coming," he adds, joking about how this is a clear sign as ever of the apocalypse.
After admitting that these two comments got him into another PR mess that he has no intention of dealing with because he just wants to be able to speak his mind, the famous DJ continues to talk on the topic, while also boasting about his own gig in Paris, the French capital.
"funnily enough, were on our way to go smash the [expletive] out of Paris... no, not that one. FRANCE. that one," he writes.
Still, Hilton's case is yet another example of how electronic dance music isn't what it used to be some time ago.
"Basicly, EDM gone to new [expletive] heights and I'm just gunna run my own program. Let the dj's Dj, let the pop be pop, imma do my thing instead," Deadmau5 says.
"if it got out of hand, i blame it on not being able to differentiate between a performer and a DJ. i guess its still subjective. k," the DJ concludes.
At the same event where she "announced" her decision to turn DJ, Paris also debuted a new song that will presumably be included on her upcoming album.
It's called "Last Night" and it is a collaboration with rumored boyfriend DJ Afrojack. From the videos made available online, it's still early to tell whether it's any good because the quality is low.

Silver decadrachm of Alexander the Great
Greek, around 324 BC
The only image of Alexander to survive from his lifetime
In 326 BC Alexander the Great's conquest of the world had taken him as far east as India, where he fought a successful battle at the River Hydaspes with the Indian king Porus. It is generally accepted that this coin is from a series issued by the victorious Alexander, perhaps after his return to Babylon in 324 BC, although there is no firm evidence for its place of production, and Alexander's name is absent from these coins and their accompanying issues.
If they were issued by Alexander then they are remarkable historical documents. On the front of the coin is depicted a figure on horseback, presumably Alexander, attacking a figure riding an elephant, perhaps intended to represent Porus, or a generic Indian warrior. On the back is a standing figure wearing a Macedonian cloak, a Persian head-dress and Greek armour. He is almost certainly intended to represent Alexander the Great, but carries in his hand a thunderbolt, a clear sign of divinity. If Alexander was the issuer of these coins, it is undeniable that he is making claims to divinity in his own lifetime.

Beyond ninety-nine-percentism: dreaming of actually occupying Wall Street and not being frightened of 'revolution'
Posted on October 9, 2011 by Sophie Lewis | 6 Comments
Sophielle writes from New York
One notable feature of Occupy Wall Street is its participants' lack of hesitation in using the term 'revolution'. Here comes the revolution! This is the first step of the revolution! Get up, get down, the revolution is in this town! You won't stop our revolution! etcetera, etcetera. Distinguishing from these assertions of a revolution that has arrived, what does it really mean to envisage a revolution? And why should revolutionaries fear to act as well as talk, camp, and march?
As Malcolm Harris and the Self-Negation Blogger argue in separate article son Lib Com, there are several ways in which Occupy Wall Street could and should push beyond its current mold. They remark on the understanding that an occupation is usually for disrupting and seizing control of a space or infrastructure, and instating the joie de vivre of the temporary autonomous zone for strategic, organisational purposes. The Plaza, by contrast, is nowhere near interfering with the day-to-day of investors and traders. The square resembles a police "pen" – it's true – and is no one's sane idea of an action planning venue. Moreover, whilst the lack of clear demands is absolutely not a failing in OWS, its reluctance to fight for the enemies of capital, as a class, is. "We are the 99%" is only a good point if it comes with the understanding that even if bankers and billionaires were evil, that would not be the point; and that non-bankers are not all good. Marx asserts somewhere in vol.1 of Capital that the will of the individual capitalist is irrelevant within the horrific system he props up, entirely legally. Key quotes, then, from Lib Com's perspective are firstly "We must begin to think and fight for ourselves as a class without "demanding" anything" – because demands already recuperate our actions for the current system's logic – and secondly "If corporations are people, what would it mean to wrap our hands around one's neck and choke it to death?"
Of course, it won't be nice to choke a corporation to death. It might be achieved through a mass strike combined with the mass occupation and barricade of a bank's headquarters. I mean thousands of people, not hundreds. It would throw things into crisis and open possibilities for all kinds of other action. It would draw the real violence of the state. For now, Wall Street occupiers fear guns and imprisonment. So do I! I can only imagine not fearing them in a context of mass rebellion. And like everyone else, I want someone else to create that atmosphere for me. That said, Occupy Wall Street does seem quite concerned to stay – even discursively – 'nice'. Concerned, why? Fox News and all the more mainstream news media have already issued HUAC style verdicts on the demonstrators: unwashed! un-American! simultaneously pot-smoking ne'er-do-wells and threatening 21st-century shades of the Nazi brown-shirts (hat-tip to Jon Stewart for hilariously souping up this classic contradiction of the Right). The Tea Party has – thank goodness – disavowed any similarities between its brand of populism and Occupy Wall Street's. (Ann Coulter says 'This is what a mob looks like'.) The unions are with us. Bloomberg and the millionaires are against us. The lines of political enmity are clearly drawn. Whom exactly is OWS afraid to scare away?
Is it liberals? Well, yes. The Daily Show's and MSNBC's support is important. But for the time being, I think the protesters are frightened of themselves. The exuberant and slightly hysterical word 'revolution' is bandied about as though to whip up, through repetition, the merest wisp of confidence in such a thing being possible. Will it come from somewhere? I hope so. People certainly aren't going away. They sleep and work on Zucotti, for the plaza is a library, a home, a free university, a social/online media hub, a kitchen, a gallery, and a non-bureaucratic administration. The Occupy Wall Street journal is a success. Immense power resides, in a dormant kind of way, within the tens of thousands gathering around this cause, and immense power could even reside in the Plaza, properly defended from interference by the police. 'Revolution', 'revolution', 'revolution' is on everybody's lips. Many of them, probably, mean significant reform of corporate law. Many mean a state-imposed cull of the wealth of the top 1% of U.S. citizens, for egalitarian redistribution. Some mean that 'Obama must resign now' (in favour of Ron Paul?!). Many feel that the 'middle class' has been destroyed: and if Occupy Wall Street turns out to be a bourgeois revolution, then I shall hold my peace. Many think they mean a return to the principles of the Founding Fathers and to "the constitution" (a real holy book, across the political spectrum, it seems). Many even mean some kind of right-libertarian destruction of the state. Many, however, speak of 'class war' and social justice. You can hear more kinds of soap-box offerings at http://livestre.am/PlNN.
Yet even on the terms of these sundry agendas and ideological camps, almost all the working-groups that I saw presenting at the general assembly on the Plaza yesterday stressed a non-confrontational or hyperbolically non-violent agenda. Art. Rallies. Camp maintenance. Outreach. Teach-ins. Yes. All good, very good things. But under the mandate 'occupy Wall Street', we can claim, crush, and rebuild a symbolic nexus of power. We won't even begin to change the system of capitalist labour relations by simply meditating together, making bigger placards, and chanting – yes, it is finally beginning to get on my nerves – "WE. – ARE. – THE NINETY-NINE PERCENT!"
Because we aren't. We must acknowledge our enemies, and we must attack the free-market logic they cleave to. 99%-ism ultimately substitutes bankster scapegoatism for systemic critique.

It's so refreshing to read something like this; too many activists I know here in the UK are so uncritical of OWS; they're a bit too dazzled by all the stir it's created to notice some of it's current limitations.
Not to say there isn't plenty to celebrate too! But as you say, it needs to push a lot further and be more confrontational and disobedient before it can become a real threat to the powerful.

So here's a sticky 1st amendment issue. Websites that publish mugshots which are available publicly often charge the arrestees hundreds of dollars to have their pictures removed, even when charges are dropped. The plaintiffs in the case are such victims of police abuse whose charges have been dropped but whose mugshots are still published online with a full list of the original (and often stacked) charges and can then turn up in a google search. How much of their revenue comes from this?

(NEW YORK) -- Even while he watched Super Bowl XLVIII Sunday at MetLife Stadium, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie could not escape the lane closures scandal that has been engulfing his office. Reports surfaced on Sunday that Christina Genovese Renna, a junior aide, resigned from the governor's office. In a statement provided by her attorney, Renna said she left her position on Jan. 31.
"This reflects a decision I have been considering since shortly after the election. I have spent almost four years working hard for a Governor I continue to respect and admire. The transition from term one to term two is a natural time to pursue an opportunity in the private sector," she said.
Renna reported to Bridget Kelly, the former deputy chief of staff whom Christie fired for emailing "time for some traffic problems in Fort Lee." The junior aide was among the 17 people subpoenaed by the state legislature last month.
The committee investigating the lane closures at the George Washington Bridge is expected to start receiving subpoenaed documents on Monday.
Meanwhile, in other Christie news, ABC News has confirmed that the Republican governor will be speaking at the Conservative Political Action Conference next month.

text: Calif.: Paid Family Leave Program Expands Definition of Family Member By Marjorie S. Fochtman, Dale A. Hudson, © Nixon Peabody. 7/7/2014 On the tenth anniversary of California's Paid Family Leave (PFL) insurance program, the program has been amended to expand the categories of family members for whom workers may take time off to provide care. Since 2004, the PFL program has provided up to six weeks of partial income replacement for employees who take time off work to care for a seriously ill child, spouse, parent or registered domestic partner, or to bond with a new child. On July 1, 2014, the program expanded to provide paid leave benefits for workers to care for parents-in-law, grandchildren, grandparents and siblings. The PFL insurance program is different from other family leave laws because it does not actually require that employers grant an employee a leave of absence or reinstate the employee at the conclusion of leave. Because the PFL program is funded by employees through mandatory payroll deductions, it does not impose a direct financial impact on employers. The law does require that employers post a notice and provide employees with a brochure. A few limitations exist on an employee's ability to use the leave. PFL benefits do not begin until after the employee has satisfied a seven-day waiting period. In addition, the employer may require the employee to use up to two weeks' vacation leave or paid time off (PTO) prior to receiving benefits. The first week of vacation or PTO is applied to the waiting period. An individual is not eligible for PFL benefits for any day that another family member is able and available for the ill family member. As stated previously, PFL benefits do not provide job protection or return rights. However, if an employee's request for leave is protected by the federal Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) or the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), the employee may be entitled to job protection rights under either or both of those statutes. An individual who is entitled to leave under FMLA and/or CFRA must take PFL concurrent with leave taken under those acts. Prior to the recent amendment, if the employee and the employer were covered by FMLA or CFRA, a leave eligible for PFL was also likely protected by FMLA/CFRA. Accordingly, the employee would have the right to protected leave, and the employer would have the right to obtain certification of the need for leave from the family member's health care provider. However, the expansion of PFL benefits for the care of grandparents, grandchildren and siblings will create new headaches for employers. For example, employees may be confused by the "Paid Family Leave" terminology and assume that they are receiving protected leave. In addition, if an employer wishes to obtain certification to document the need for leave, it will need to create new documentation for that purpose. While the PFL statute does not provide job protection, employers should be cautious about terminating an employee who requests time off to provide caregiver services. Family Responsibility Discrimination (FRD) is a theory of discrimination gaining recognition, but is not yet codified in federal or California law. FRD may arise when an employer discriminates against an employee because of family care responsibilities. Most often directed at new mothers, increasingly it may arise when an employer treats an employee less favorably than other employees based on a perception that the employee will be less committed because of the employee's caregiving responsibilities. Another possible risk is a claim of associational discrimination. Both the federal Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and California's Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) prohibit an employer from discriminating against an employee because that employee is associated with a person who has, or is perceived to have, a disability. In a recent California case, Rope v. Auto-Chlor System of Washington Inc., 220 Cal. App. 4th 635 (2013), a California court of appeal found that associational disability discrimination may have occurred where an employer terminated an employee to avoid the expense of providing the employee with paid leave while the employee donated a kidney to his disabled sister. The boundaries of prohibited associational discrimination are not yet clearly defined, but it would not be surprising if employees argue that associational discrimination has occurred in those instances where an employee is terminated for taking leave that was eligible for PFL, but not protected by FMLA or CFRA. In addition, San Francisco recently passed the Family Friendly Workplace Ordinance, which provides employees the right to ask for flexible or predictable working arrangements for their family caregiving responsibilities. The ordinance also prohibits an employer from discharging, threatening to discharge, demoting, suspending or otherwise taking adverse employment action against any person on the basis of caregiver status. Clearly, family responsibilities are affecting and will increasingly affect the workplace. Further legislation protecting employees with caregiver responsibilities is likely. It is probably only a matter of time before the California Family Rights Act is expanded to include the expanded family relationships covered by PFL. A measure introduced in 2012, Assembly Bill 2039, would have broadened the California law to cover those categories, but it did not pass. The experience with the expanded family coverage in PFL will likely spur efforts to expand CFRA to include job protection and reinstatement rights for employees who care for this expanded list of family members. What Should Employers Do Now? Consider whether to expand your family leave policy to cover these new forms of caregiver leave. Create new leave request forms for employees who request leave to care for parents-in-law, grandchildren, grandparents and siblings, and consider requiring certification from the relative's health care provider to document the need for leave. If granting personal leave for the new categories of caregivers, decide if you will continue health insurance during the leave. If you do not grant leave for these new categories of caregivers, revise your existing leave policies to make this explicit. Check to see if your current policies prohibit all forms of associational discrimination or retaliation, and revise them if they do not. Educate and train managers about how to respond to employee requests for time off or schedule changes due to family caregiving responsibilities. Post the updated paid family leave notice. Provide the updated brochures about PFL benefits to new employees, and to employees leaving work to care for a seriously ill family member or to bond with a new child Marjorie S.

Fermanagh Table Tennis Association and indeed Table Tennis Ulster have exclusively used the Sports Hall for Ulster and Fermanagh tournaments and Ulster Squad training. This is a superb facility which after receiving funding for 12 new table tennis tables and tournament equipment means that it is one of the best venues in Northern Ireland for the sport of table tennis.
Fermanagh Table Tennis Association gave its full support to secure this facility and indeed the successful bid to receive CEO, Big Lottery Fund NI with the understanding that it was to provide continued community use as well as school use.
Table Tennis is a cross-community sport enjoyed by people of all ages and our use of the Sports Hall brings together players from Fermanagh, Tyrone, Cavan and Monaghan. Loss of this facility would affect a large number of players from both sides of the border.
It is difficult to understand why such an excellent Community facility widely used by the general public is threatened with closure. We would ask the Principal and Board of Governors to review their decision as closure of this facility will have a major impact on the local community.
Yours faithfully

Game On: Wizards-Hawks preview
Beal taking it slow as he works to come back
Both teams are in a funk. Atlanta has dropped six of its last nine games and Washington hasn't won at Atlanta since 2008.
TV: CSN+, 7:30 p.m. ET at Phillips Arena. Radio: 1500 AM.
Last game: Wizards (9-11) lost to the Denver Nuggets at home, 75-74 on Monday, their second defeat in a row; Hawks (11-11) lost to the Oklahoma City 101-92 at home on Tuesday.
Last meeting: Wizards beat the Hawks at Verizon Center on Nov. 30, 108-101.
Projected starting lineups: Wizards –- PG John Wall, SG Trevor Ariza, SF Martell Webster, PF Trevor Booker, C Marcin Gortat. Hawks –- PG Jeff Teague, SG Kyle Korver, SF DeMarre Carroll, PF Paul Millsap, C Al Horford.
[ICYMI: John Wall ranked 4th among guards in East All-Star voting]
Entry passes: 1). Korver didn't play in the first meeting and his presence -- and long-range shooting ability -- certainly will force the Wizards to adjust their defense 2). Millsap hit 4 of 5 three-pointers to keep Atlanta in the first game. 3). Wall dominated his matchup with Teague, with 26 points and 12 assists as Teague shot just 5-for-18. 4). The reserves, the worst in the NBA at scoring, only contributed 14 points for the Wizards.
X-factors: Nene (right foot) has been dealing with soreness and missed the last game. He practiced Thursday, but likely will be a game-time decision unless he has a setback at Friday morning's shootaround. ... Webster will be playing with his left ankle taped after spraining it last week. He thinks it might limit him and he has to get used to it. ... Otto Porter will come off the bench and get time for the third consecutive game, and hope to end his scoring drought.
He said it: "We have to play it day by day. If I continue to feel good, when the doc presses on it and there's no feeling at all that's when he'll give me a go. Until then it's day by day." -- Bradley Beal on when he anticipates returning from a stress reaction to his right fibula
Around the bend: The Wizards return to D.C. immediately after the game to play the Los Angeles Clippers at Verizon Center on Saturday CSN, 7).

October 1965: Fidel Castro (Bichir) reads a letter from Che Guevara (Del Toro) in which he resigns from the Cuban government. Two years later, Guevara tries to bring about revolution in Bolivia. Things do not go well.
Like Guevara's slog through the Bolivian undergrowth, Che Part Two is a hallucinatory journey into the heart of darkness, defined by a performance of great presence.

Are You Ready To Lobby For Some Football?
10:12 AM, Aug 8, 2014 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
The fight over television blackouts of NFL games is on again. The league, which may be the most successful, powerful, and popular sports conglomerate in history, is lobbying Congress for some of its famous protective services. The thing comes down to the issue of whether or not games that have not been sold out should be broadcast in local markets. Just the sort of thing you sent your representative to Washington to deal with, right?
As Julian Hattem of The Hill reports, the NFL "argues the rule helps teams sell tickets and creates a compelling stadium atmosphere, allowing the NFL to keep games on free television."
("Free television" would be the kind with the ads that stretch a two-hour game into four hours.)
And why should Washington be getting involved? Well, because the NFL believes "the FCC's sports blackout rule remains necessary and in the public interest."
The NFL doesn't really need the government's muscle to get what it wants:
But force is so much easier.

Eco Option
Island Vibe is a festival that appreciates nature's way of enabling us to get down and party in a beautiful part of the world. If you think about, the rubber used to make the tyres on your car has been derived from trees, wood has been shaped and smoothed to create guitars and drums and hops and water have reacted to produce beer. Without nature Island Vibe would be very different! Invest in our eco option where an additional fee of $3.20 (suggested per ticket) goes towards reducing IV's environmental impact in a way that YOU decide-will it be by planting native trees, investing in renewable solar energy, burning methane produced from landfills or funding companies to install efficient CFL lightbulbs in houses around Australia? Vote onsite or here.
Transport Survey
To find out our carbon footprint we need first to measure it. By taking less than a minute to fill out our transport survey you can help us decide future transport initiatives. Say you're a keen cyclist, but to get to Island Vibe you'd like someone to carry your luggage... tell us by taking part in the survey here.
Did you know it's "BYO Cup & Carabiner Year" this year?
It's one small step closer to zero waste, but one giant leap for environmental-kind.
A CARABINER & CUP should be top of your packing list if you plan to stay hydrated and caffeinated while navigating Island Vibe Festival. A handy cup wash station will be located within the heart of the food nexus to keep your cup sanitised and sand free. Lead the revolution with your festival vestibule!
Disposable cups, even those that can be composted or recycled, continue the cycle of manufacturing and consumerism. Even clear biodegradable cups, designed to degenerate organically use corn grown often in the US, which is plasticised in China, then shipped to Australia where it is used once and then thrown away. There is no away.
Change your habits, don't suck, instead... BYO cup!
… reduce, reuse, recycle, restore….. ….replenish, rewind, remind, recover, resist, reveal….. relearn, reassess, rework….
Island Vibe would also like to confirm reports of award-winning excellence in the green aspects of the event.

Any big-box retailer, even one that clearly is based on the lackluster Kmart, skyrockets to the top of my list when they make a gutsy human resources decision to hire Ash from the Evil Dead/Army of Darkness franchise.
Also, judging from this clip, they sell guns that hold an unlimited number of bullets, which differentiates them from the "other guys." Granted nobody would like to be shot by an employee or mauled by a witch while shopping for consumer electronics, but no one wants a boring shopping experience either, so choose your poison.
So shop smart. Shop S Mart.
Well, it's pretty clear that this store isn't hurting the customer service department, especially if you're a hot girl. While the staff is plenty attentive, you do run the risk of a salesperson drunkenly screaming into the TV displays, then videotaping their ass for the entire store to see, but that's really just part of SmartTech's charm. You never know what you're going to get at SmartTech, aside from sexually harassed. The 40 Year-Old Virgin should actually spin off this concept and see how rich Judd Apatow can get.
Also, I find their Michael McDonald shopping soundtrack to be just delightful.

Cyprus finance minister quits after bailout concludes, investigation begins
Posted By kurtnimmoadmin On April 2, 2013 @ 1:35 pm In Global Crisis,Old Infowars Posts Style | Comments Disabled
Michele Kambas
April 2, 2013
Cyprus's finance minister resigned on Tuesday after concluding a 10 billion euro bailout deal with international lenders in which the country slashed its dominant banking sector and hit depositors with losses.
Michael Sarris, a lead player in talks with International Monetary Fund and European Union lenders, said he had completed his task but also that he was likely to come under scrutiny in an investigation into the crisis.
Tuesday's deal, which requires ratification from national EU parliaments and euro zone finance ministers, will see Cyprus receiving a 10 billion euro loan, carrying an interest rate of approximately 2.5 percent. It is repayable over a 12 year period after a grace period of a decade.

GRE Fee Waiver
Students are eligible for GRE fee reductions only if (1) they have never received one before, (2) they are citizens of the US or resident aliens, (3) they are currently enrolled seniors or college graduates who have attempted NO coursework since earning the bachelor's degree, and (4) they have current financial aid paperwork on file at UWG. The GRE waiver will now only cover half of the testing fee; therefore, waiver recipents must pay the remaining balance when enrolling for the exam.
After meeting the four criteria above, see Ms. Taylor in the Learning Support and Testing Department who will provide the necessary form and direct you to the Financial Aid Department for the required FA signature/seal.

NORCROSS -- The annual Mayors' Christmas Motorcade has begun, and Norcross officials hope the giving spirit has kicked in for the holidays.
The Georgia Municipal Association program, which was created more than 50 years with help from Gov. Ernest Vandiver, organizes the collection of holiday gifts for patients at Georgia's seven regional mental health hospitals.
For some, who have lived at the hospitals most of their lives with little or no support from family, the annual drive is the only way they will receive a holiday goody.
Officials are encouraging individuals as well as civic organizations, such as scout troops, churches and schools to participate, a press release said.
Donations can be delivered to Norcross City Hall's downstairs lobby at 65 Lawrenceville Street on or before Dec. 5. Or city residents can call for pick-up.
Possible donations include personal care items such as toothbrushes, combs and brushes, clothing, PG- or G-rated videos, board games and other items. They must be new and in good condition, but must not be wrapped.
For a list of much-needed items, and to learn more about on how groups and individuals can participate, call the City of Norcross Public Works Department at 678-421-2069 or email email@example.com or email@example.com.

There are two potential legal issues.
1. Did you sign a non-compete clause as part of your relationship with the previous employer?
2. When attempting to negotiate new contracts as a self business, to what degree are you going to "pirate" the estimating process from the previous employer?
Both of these are serious issues that only you can address/answer.
Regarding the moral/ethical aspect, this all depends on the type of contract each client has with the previous employer. Yearly, per service, quarterly, what?
As far as "stealing" clients from a previous employer, as a successful business owner myself I view it this way: Provided I am capably caring for the client I am not worried a previous employee will "steal" from my client base.
On numerous instances clients have directly contacted me after being approached yet did not change due to my providing a level of service the client appreciated/and paid for.
I will say, and karma has nothing to do with this at all, provided you are able to woo clients away be prepared for their now being "trained" that it is okay to price shop = you may very well be the victim of what you are trying to initiate.
Business is business, simply persevere in providing good service and if you have the guts to hang in through the growing pains then you might be alright.

Parents and Grandparents
Rhodes parents and grandparents play a critical role in the Rhodes Community, so much so that our Rhodes Chapters are designed to include the families of current students.
There are numerous ways for parents to stay involved at Rhodes from off campus. Many parents and grandparents contribute by:
- Returning to campus each fall for Parent/Family Weekend
- Assisting with Admission efforts by hosting a recruitment or summer send-off event in your area
- Making calls to prospective students and their families for Admission
- Volunteering with Career Services (provide internships, hire Rhodes alumni, offer career shadowing opportunities, serve on career panels, attend career networking socials)
- Supporting the Annual Fund by helping us reach our $435,000 Parent Campaign goal. Help us reach our goal!
If you are interested in volunteering in any capacity, please fill out this online form and we will connect you to a Rhodes staff member.
The Parent Campaign
Goal: $435,000 by June 30, 2015!
The Parent Campaign is an integral part of the Annual Fund. Parents and grandparents of current and former students contribute to the Annual Fund to ensure that Rhodes remains one of the best national liberal arts colleges in the country. Perhaps the most important signal of parental satisfaction with Rhodes is that a high percentage of parents, both current and former, continue to support the college through the Annual Fund.
