The look of fear covers his face; a letter trembles from his locker. "No, no please don't be from her!" He pleads. Anxiously, he turns the letter around to see in red cursive writing something he dreaded more than anything 'To Adam, Love Heather'. Heather, the girl he can't bring himself to look at now because of what she has done. "How did she…no she couldn't have, she's over seven hours away." She really was, in an asylum, locked behind pale blue padded walls never to see day light again, for the unforgivable crime that took everything from him. He relives that horrific day as it plays in the back of his mind like an unwanted song.
Sitting on an old park bench Adam waited for Heather to arrive. He had to tell her, he always knew how she felt and that he would never feel the same towards her. Hours passed; still, she hadn't arrived, he had to tell her today, it couldn't wait so he went to her house. On arrival he noticed a flickering light coming from a room he didn't even know existed.
"Heather? You in there? I need to talk to you."
Silence filled the cold dead atmosphere. Slowly, he approached the mysterious room.
"Heather you didn't come to the park. Are you okay?"
As he reached the ancient wooden door he heard a creak in the floor boards.
"Heather? Seriously I could hardly call this a joke, hurry up I need to talk to you."
He turned back his attention towards the mysterious room, slowly he opened the door.
Horror flooded his pale face but then confusion set in. He stood in disbelief at the room filled top to bottom with pictures, pictures of him; at school, at home, in public and most disturbing of all; him sleeping. Speechless he trembled a little, slowly stepping back readying himself to make an escape, bumping into something, no not something, her, Heather. There she stood with a wide grin on her face like an old clown that is convinced he still has a future in the business; Adam didn't know what to say except "What?" Before he could even get a word out she whispered proudly.
"It's you Adam this is all you. This whole room is dedicated to you."
Confused he turned around and went to take off for the door that still stood wide open but, before he could she grabbed his arm
"Oh no Adam, you can't leave you have to stay now."
The door slammed.
"It's okay Adam we can be together now, she's gone, I got rid of her."
Shocked, he was silent for a while but then questioned "Got rid of who Heather, who did you get rid of?"
He backed away, no it couldn't be her, his hand slips to his pocket reaching for his phone so he could call his girlfriend, Lilly.
A slow calming song began to play in the background, it was their song. His phone dropped to the ground shattering the screen the once held a graceful photo of Lilly. Pain shot through his body like a million rusted knives stabbing him at once, a glimmer of light catches the corner of his eye, it's her phone. He races over to the bench anxiously grasping the phone in his cold shaking fingers.
"What have you done?" He shouts.
"I told you Adam I got rid of her, she's gone now." She replied with a slight smirk on her face.
Weak at the knees he falls to the ground, scraping his knee a little from the impact. The walls are closing in on him. How? How could she do this? This is Heather his best friend for years.
"Where is she?" he questions.
"Why does that even matter? We can be together now." She smiles.
"Where's Lilly?" he repeats this time anger fills his tone.
"Oh if you must know she's in the cupboard, silly" she chuckles as her pale white finger points to a rugged old cupboard peering out in the corner.
Cautiously he turns around, stepping closer and closer to the old chipped cupboard, the floor boards screaming with every step. Heart racing, he reaches out for the rusted handle to open the door. It creaks loudly but then, silence.
All of a sudden, a loud ring is heard from a distance, the loud roar of voices once again end the nightmare that haunts him to this day. Looking down into his trembling hands that grip this dreadful letter, anger fills his eyes; he lets out a small cry, clenching his fists, crumbling the letter in his hands. Heather took the one thing that meant the most to him, the one thing that brought happiness to his life and now he will never see Lilly again.

Former employee sues Uniontown library, director
A former Uniontown Public Library employee has filed a federal lawsuit against the library and its director, alleging political discrimination and violation of the state whistle-blower act.
Pittsburgh attorney Edward A. Olds filed the suit against Lynne Santoliquido Singer Tharan on Monday on behalf of Vicki Leonelli of Uniontown.
Named in the suit are the city of Uniontown and library board President W. Lawrence Bush.
Leonelli, who worked at the library for 18 years, was in charge of its Pennsylvania Room, according to the suit.
It describes Tharan, the library director since 2008, as "a politically active person" with "pronounced Republican/Tea Party-like leanings."
The suit claims Tharan "brought her politics, her political views and prejudices to the library."
"Tharan took advantage of her position as the library's director to proselytize her political views. She routinely and frequently circulated political material by way of emails or postings," the suit states.
Bush and Uniontown city solicitor J.W. Eddy did not return calls for comment.
Tharan said she was aware of the lawsuit and intended to meet with Bush on Tuesday morning.
"We have no comment at this time," Tharan said.
Leonelli contacted city Councilman Blair Jones regarding Tharan's "failure to conduct the library's business in an acceptable manner," including her alleged "endless political harassment," the suit stated.
She later met with Bush, advising him that Tharan "permitted vulgarities, allowed homeless people to camp out in the library" and mishandled the situation when Tharan discovered a revolver in a paper bag in the children's library more than a year ago, it alleged.
"Tharan defended patrons' rights to carry revolvers in the library," the suit said.
It said Leonelli was fired in July for being "insubordinate."
Leonelli claims Tharan "harbored ill-will against Leonelli, who is a Democrat, by virtue of their political differences."
The suit says Tharan is active in Tea Party/Republican circles, and allegedly tried to impose her "far-right ideological viewpoints upon Leonelli and other library staff members."
Her political affiliation and "whistle-blowing activity" led to Leonelli's firing, the suit alleges.
It claims Leonelli was denied her right to due process because she did not receive a hearing before the board prior to her termination. It alleges Leonelli has suffered lost wages, humiliation, anxiety and stress. She is seeking a jury trial and requests "all appropriate relief," including damages and attorney fees.

Our New Location: An Open Letter to the Soma Austin Community

Our New Location: An Open Letter to the Soma Austin Community
Recently, Soma Austin has been blessed with a new space for renewal in the city. We will be moving into this space full time beginning with Sunday morning services on Sunday, April 17th, and we wanted to formally invite you and any others that you think might be interested in Jesus, our church or our mission. Each of us is at Soma Austin because God has stirred something in us to love this community and what Jesus is doing here. We have found Jesus, truth, renewal, community, friends, grace and more Jesus. As we have said many times, we aren't setting out to grow a big church, but we are trying to renew our city. And to do so, we want to invite more people in our services, so there are more missionaries in our neighborhoods.
The Hideout has been a great place for us to start as a church and it has served us well over the last two years. It has allowed us to be in the center of the city as we grew, both numerically and in learning who we are as a young church. I am genuinely going to miss The Hideout. But the truth is that it has always been an easy place for me. I get to stand on stage, or in the front row, not in the crowded, uncomfortable seats. I get there early so always get a good parking spot on the street somewhere. I never have to walk down the stairs, past the pastor as I go to the bathroom. And my family loves downtown so it's a joy for us to be there. But it did have it's drawbacks. The seats are crowded, and it does get tight sometimes. The parking can be difficult. And downtown can be challenging for some, including families, to navigate. I have heard many say they love it all, and others not so much.
So with this new move we have an opportunity to reconsider who might be interested in Jesus, our church and our mission, in our new space. Who do we know who might feel more comfortable not having to walk past the stage? What families do we know that would consider a non-downtown location? Who do we know that might want a church a little further south than downtown?
In addition to our Sunday morning gatherings, we will also be hosting Porterbrook training, Film & Theology Evenings and other renewal programs. During the week we will be opening the doors as an incubator space for new organizations and initiatives working towards physical, social and spiritual renewal. Non-profits, for profits, small groups, etc, will be able to use the conference room, wi-fi, desks and a printer/copier. And next door we will be launching Renew Austin, primarily a renewal program for those experiencing homelessness. It will house a woodshop, sewing space, furniture restoration and... wait for it... a skateboard deck press to make skateboards.
Yep, we plan to use that space as much as we can, to squeeze every bit of usefulness out of it for the renewal of our city. We plan to steward every dollar that comes in the door, to use the gifts and talents of those in and around our community for gospel renewal. That's just how we are gonna roll. And what a sweet grace that we all get to be part of it. But let's not keep all the fun to ourselves!
Please take some time today to pray and consider who God might lead you to invite into this renewal story with us, for their own joy and renewal, and for the joy and renewal of our city and beyond. I am excited for this next chapter in the life of our church, I pray you are as well.
When: Sunday, April 17th at 10:30am (come at 10:00am for coffee)
Where: 4201 S. Congress, Suite 300, Austin, TX 78745.
With you all for Jesus and Austin,
Jacob Vanhorn

Ah, the holidays, the most glorious time of the year, when families gather to give thanks for their many blessings, eat a grand meal, worship and enjoy love and fellowship. And this year, theres a new reason for the season.
So lets bow our heads and produce the appropriate documents. Surely, you have the documents. You were notified by Bobby to show up at his mom and dads house with your Social Security number, employers name, a pay stub and your current health insurance information.
This is, after all, an Obamacare holiday season. The details are at www.barackobama.com, under the sparkling letters that say HEALTH CARE FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Shouldnt be a surprise. Its the same outfit that asked us to send cash to the presidents campaign last year instead of buying birthday and wedding presents.
The campaign websites yes, they still exist in various forms are urging Obama devotees to turn holiday family gatherings into health insurance seminars. So leave the presents unopened for a bit. Hold off serving the big dinner, too. But thats all right. It takes a couple of hours before salmonella develops on a cooked turkey, plenty of time for those who commandeer family gatherings to deliver the message.
Their mission: Get relatives to sign up for Obamacare, even if it ruins a special day. Facilitators are advised to ambush everybody in the house with questions about, oh, their personal finances. As in, how much can they afford to pay each month for health insurance?
Imagine how that might go at your average family gathering. Any family will do.
None of your business how much I spend, says Uncle Freddie, who gulped down a water glass of Pinot Grigio when he figured out what was happening. Anybody notice the gravy is starting to look like brown jelly?
Bobby ignores the old crank. Hes been warned about skeptics. Another instruction from headquarters says, Make it personal: Be honest about your feelings and why this is important to you. Be persistent, but keep it positive: Tell them you care about their health, and focus on the benefits that come from knowing that you have health insurance.
This is when sweet Grandma, whose turkey and dressing are spoiling, decides Bobby is a teeny bit pushy.
I love you dearly, she said. Now, Id like you to leave us alone and shut the
Bobby pushes on. His Obamacare script says, Make it memorable!
No problem there. Mom just said a really bad word about the day being ruined.
You could tie your shoes with the French-fried onions in my green beans, says Aunt Jennie. Tell us again why we cant have our dinner.
Because the president ordered us I mean asked us to do this, Bobby said. So be quiet. Were almost halfway done.
He reads from the script: Have you thought about signing up for health insurance on the new marketplace?
Would you like to take some time with me to sign up right now?
When do you plan on signing up? Have you signed up yet?
Mom tells Bobby hes an annoying little drip. She grabs the wine Uncle Freddie is hiding under his chair and chugs the bottle dry.
Willie next door got his health insurance cancelled last week, Dad says. We should have invited Willie over to hear Bobbys little talk. Thatd be memorable.
Bobby gets back on script and announces everybody has to sign up by Dec. 23, to get coverage by Jan. 1.
Great idea, Grandma says. Lets try to sign onto the Obamacare website. Itll be an all-nighter.
Cousin Louie: The president said if you like your turkey leg, you can keep it. Period. If your turkeys name is Period. Har-har. This is going really well. Does the president want us to talk about late-term abortions over dessert?
Bobby is drinking warm cider now the four bottles of wine miraculously are empty and he finishes up. Its easy to sign up for the Affordable Care Act, he reads, And almost six in 10 uninsured Americans may be able to get coverage for $100 a month or less.
Unless your premiums are tripled, says one of the grandchildren. Thats happening, you know. And something like 50 million people might lose their insurance at work next year. I heard it on NPR.
Uncle Freddie is snoring. Grandma and Aunt Jennie refuse to eat. Lucky for them, because the others nibble lukewarm turkey and complain of stomach cramps a while later, turning it into an especially memorable day.
Bobby begs for understanding, saying he did all this for the president. And for the familys benefit, of course, although theyre not smart enough to figure it out. The family laughs as one. Bobby says he hates them all.

The Basic Tenets of My Investment Consciousness
Posted By Barry Ritholtz On April 16, 2006 @ 7:14 am In Apprenticed Investor,Investing,Psychology,Trading | Comments Disabled
Doug Kass published a terrific column — a list [1] of sorts — of his investment tenets. The concepts that form the basis of his investment process, as he wrote, are "admittedly simple to write about, but more difficult to execute."
Here's an excerpt from this very instructive list (you can read it in entirety here [1]).
Know Thyself, Work Hard and Don't Get Emotional
- If you don't know yourself, Wall Street is a poor place to find yourself.
- The hedge fund biz is survival of the fittest, the smartest and the most practical.
- Do not get emotional in making investments and however eloquent the strategy is, it is the results that count.
The Investment Process Is Methodical
- Write a brief synopsis of each investment analysis/conclusion.
- Keep all your charts, reflect on past mistakes/successes.
- A combination of fundamental and technical input is usually a recipe for investment success.
- Logic of argument and power of dissection are the two most important ingredients in delivering superior investment returns.
Stay Objective and Independent
- Neither be a Cassandra nor a Sunshine Boy!
- Within limits, stay independent in view.
- equilibrium is rarely observed in the stock market.
-"Participants perceptions are inherently flawed" -George Soros.
Investment Discipline Is Key
- Let your profits run and and press your winners
- Knowing when to seize opportunity is one of the basic principles to investing.
- stop your losses as discipline always should trump conviction.
- Always sell what shows you a loss and keep what shows you a profit." -Edwin Lefevre, Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
The Past Is Not Necessarily Prologue to the Future
- History should be a guide, but not a jailer.
- There is little permanent truth in the financial markets.
- Change is inevitable and change is constant.
- Do not extrapolate the trend in fundamentals in your company analysis nor in the trend in stock prices.
- Be independent of analytical and investment conclusions
- Be greedy when others are fearful and fearful when others are greedy
- Always remember that holding on to a variant view has outsized risk as well as outsized reward.
Risk and Reward Should Be Assessed Properly
- Remember risk/reward is asymmetric.
- Long positons can climb to indefinite heights and only lose 100% of the value.
- Buy value, but only with a catalyst.
- When longs have high short interest ratios, investigate the bear case completely.
- In shorting a stock, remember risk/reward is asymmetric.
- A short can only return 100% (a bankruptcy) but can rise to indefinite heights.
- Never make conceptual shorts without a catalyst.
- Avoid shorts when the outstanding short interest exceeds five days of average trading volume.
- Use leverage wisely — but rarely
- Financial markets are inherently unstable.
- Leverage can deliver superior investment returns, but it can also wipe you out.
- Only the best of the best consistently time the proper use of leverage.
Knowledge of Accounting Is a Must but Meetings with Management Have Little Value
- There is no substitute for a thorough knowledge of financial accounting.
- Accounting can be misleading, opaque and unaccountable, but free cash flow rarely lies.
- "Corporate managers lie like Ministers of Finance on the eve of devaluation." -Warren Buffet, Berkshire Hathaway letter
Be Open to Others' Ideas but Rely on Your Own Analysis
- Always be self critical.
- Once your view is formulated, be open to criticism from others that you respect.
- Take criticism and test your thesis (constantly).
- Bullheadedness will get you into trouble in the investment world.
Only Invest/Trade When Distractions Are Limited
- Invest/trade/speculate only if you are not dependent upon the investment profits to maintain your standard of living.
- A stable personal and financial life is a necessary ingredient to investment success.
- Take vacations and smell the roses. When you return you will be rejuvenated and a better investor/trader.
- Be well rested and in good shape physically.
- Keep your investment expectations reasonable
- Expect to make mistakes as perfection is not attainable.
- Chase perfection; the byproduct will be investment excellence.
Read and Learn From the Best
- Learn from those investors that have excelled
- Read and re-read the classic books on investing [2].
Terrific advice . . . Thanks, Doug!

From the January issue: It was something of a rite of passage for Lower Manhattan office workers just after Hurricane Sandy hit: Alone, or in small groups, they climbed dark stairwells holding flashlights in order to retrieve computers and files from their offices. Now, with the lights back on, many office tenants are gingerly stepping back into unchartered territory to reoccupy their spaces, which are not all ready for prime time. While 49 office buildings (with 35 million square feet of space) were closed after Sandy, all but about six buildings were expected to be opened by press time. But, as The Real Deal and others have reported, some are finding unpleasant realities — bad smells, mold, spotty heating and a lack of telephone or Internet service. [more]

Lake View Bungalows
If we could pick just one place to stay
What we say:
Owned and operated by a laid back Thai woman and her chatty German husband, Lake View is a small, relaxed resort spread over a quiet and shady stretch of land across the street from a small lake and just a three minute walk to Khuk Khak beach. Rooms are easily the best we saw in this price range in the whole area. Each are a little different, but all were designed and built by the owners themselves explicitly to be as feng shui as possible. Detached cottages with high ceilings are spaced well away from one another, and all are bright, clean, spacious and well equipped with air-con, fridges, pleasant open air hot water bathrooms, comfortable beds with sumptuous linens, well placed furniture, and large front porches. The largest of these accommodates up to six people. There are also a couple rooms in a unique tower, each subdued and comfortable but very stylish with hardwood floors, bamboo walls, and tall windows to let in the breeze. These come only with fan but are designed for optimal air flow and stay relatively cool. The resort occupies a large, peaceful piece of land that's filled with flower gardens and fruit trees. Although the sea is not quite visible from the rooms you can sense its presence and smell its scent on the breeze, and it's a short, easy walk down a sandy path to get there. The resort is rather isolated, but there is a restaurant on site serving Thai and German fare. There's no WiFi or TVs, but it's a good setting to forget the world so you might not mind. This is a popular spot in high season so it's a good idea to book ahead. There are no set off season rates but discounts may be expected in the rainy months.

There's a campaign underway to raise the minimum wage to $15 for the more than 6,300 jobs at Seattle's largest airport. If approved by voters on Nov. 5, the wage rate, as well as sick days and other benefits, would only apply to the city of SeaTac. The vote is one of the latest flashpoints in the national debate over the minimum wage after fast food workers and others held a series of summertime rallies to bring attention to their struggle to earn a living.

While the Gibsonburg student section was dressed up in various costumes, one student summed up Gibsonburg's shooting night with her outfit of a "FIRE" taco sauce packet.
The Golden Bears were on fire from the field and blitzed Danbury, 78-34 in Toledo Area Athletic Conference action.
"We have a deep team," Gibsonburg coach Brent Liskai said. "We got good looks in the first quarter but I thought we lost focus in the second half. But we did do a good job spreading the ball." ...

SOCHI, Russia -- China's last-rock, 7-4 victory over Erika Brown's rink Wednesday dropped the U.S. women to 0-4 in the round robin standings, meaning they'll have to beat Japan on Thursday to keep their hopes of advancing to the semifinals alive.
The four teams with the best records advance, and six already have at least two victories, meaning the U.S. probably will have to finish round-robin play 5-0.
"Anything is still possible here," said Ann Swisshelm, 45, who also represented the U.S. in Salt Lake in 2002, when the team had its highest-ever Olympic finish (fourth).
"You don't have to be the hottest team at the beginning of the week," she said. "You need to be the hottest at the end. We're getting a little better with each game."
The U.S. nearly forced overtime with Bingyu Wang's rink, but the Chinese skip made a draw to the button to win the game.
"We hung in there. I thought we had a chance to steal two in the 10th for a while there," Brown said. "She (Wang) made some great shots, though. We made her have to throw her last one. That's progress."
The remaining opponents for the U.S. are Japan (2-1), Denmark (0-3), Sweden (2-1), Canada (3-0) and Korea (1-2).

Comments by Corazon
This looks so good! I can't wait to see the place where Addison grew up. And I love that Sam is not giving up on her.
I will miss Audra on the show. She's a great actress and it's a shame they never used her properly. I'm okay with Naomi being gone because she gets on my nerves quite frequently. But it's nice that she may visit as a guest star once in a while.
I don't agree with the reviewer on Addison. How is she more self-centered than anyone on this show?? At least she admits her failures and pays for her mistakes. Others, like Naomi, never do.
Also, her relationship with Sam is the only one that she didn't start impulsivly. She tried for months to get over him. There was nothing implusive about it. All in all I liked this episode. The cases weren't very exciting.
I thought Charlotte and Cooper were very sweet.
As were Addison and Sam.
I like that Naomi finally realized that what Addison and Sam have is indeed real and probably going to last. It's time she accepts it. I didn't like that she was so judgmental towards Addison again. She's always like that and I wish just for once Addison would stand up to her and tell her that she isn't Miss Perfect either.
I still don't like Bizzy very much and I'm dreading next week when she's probably going to blame Addison for what happened with Susan.
And I do not believe anything will happen between Dr. Rodriguez and Addison. She made it clear she doesn't want him.
@Samantha16 I agree with everything you wrote! :)
People are fast to jump to conclusions about Addison and I'm sure she will prove them all wrong! I wish we could have seen the episode on Thursday.
I agree with Shonda on this. Addison might be ready for a baby, but Addie and Sam are not. And since Addison clearly said she wants to have a baby WITH him, she's going to have to wait.
I'm sure she'll have her baby, especially now that PP got renewed for a fifth season. There's still plenty of time.
Except for Sheldon, Sam and Amelia ALL of the characters on PP have cheated!
Addison is one of them. Why does that make her a worse person than all of the others? She's not goint to cheat on Sam with Dr. Rodriguez. They wouldn't promote like that if she did. The 'surprise' is going to be that she doesn't do it...
To me the Dr Rodriguez/Addison flirtation seemed kind of forced. It makes him very unsympathetic that he pursues her even though she's in a stable relationship.
For now I don't like him very much. Bizzy is horrible, but I'm looking forward to see this storyline developing.
I've never liked Bizzy. But I can't wait for this storyline. I hope Addison stands up to her soon. I am a little worried about Dr. Rodriguez. I think he'll cause problems between Addie and Sam...
Best episode: Agreed. Good acting from everyone and very well written.
Best character: Sam, Addison, Sheldon
Worst character: I usually love Naomi, but she's been so self-righteous lately... also I don't like Coooper and Pete.
Best relationship: Addison and Sam! They are just great together. Even though I have to admit I liked them even better last season. I wish we'd get more love and fun with these two soon. I loved Charlotte and Cooper before their break up last season. Now they are annoying. Cooper is far too immature for Charlotte. I don't care very much for Pete and Violet, but I like them at the moment.
Best storyline: Hopefully it will be the Bizzy/Addison storyline.
Hoped for 2011: An Addie/Sam baby would be great. I hope they can make it as a couple. I'd appreciate more screen time for Sheldon and Amelia. And I don't really want Mark Sloan to come back to LA, but I like the idea of Addison turning him down because of Sam.
Overall grade: B
Finally some good Addison/Sam stuff!
I loved their scenes. And I think their chemistry is amazing! There was a lot of Violet in this episode. But I didn't mind because I actually enjoyed her case. And Amelia and Sheldon were fun. I liked the whole episode. Only Pete was annoying...

STP's BLOG 04/30/13 "Like A Punch In the Gut"
by STP
posted Apr 30 2013 7:55AM
Man yesterday was like a punch in the gut for Seattle sports fans, as the NBA Board Of Governors voted unanimously against moving the Sacramento kings to Seattle. This is definitely a major speed bump in Chris Hansen's efforts to bring the Sonics back. The timing couldn't be worse as yesterday there were a few rumors and reports circulating that the NHL franchise, the Phoenix Coyotes, are one foot out the door and Seattle would be a great destination for them. The crappy part…no NBA franchise means no new arena, which means no NHL franchise. Ugh. A lot of people are pissed, it seemed like this was the perfect opportunity, and who knows if there will be another one. Thankfully us pessimists are not in charge of this ownership group, as Chris Hansen released a statement…it's a great read:
To the Sonics Faithful While we are disappointed with the relocation committee's recommendation, we just wanted to let you all know that we remain fully committed to seeing this transaction through. As you are all well aware, we have a binding transaction to purchase the Kings for what would be a record price for an NBA franchise, have one of the best ownership groups ever assembled to purchase a professional sports team in the US, have clearly demonstrated that we have a much more solid Arena plan, have offered a much higher price than the yet to be finalized Sacramento Group, and have placed all of the funds to close the transaction into escrow. As such, we plan to unequivocally state our case for both relocation and our plan to move forward with the transaction to the league and owners at the upcoming Board of Governor's Meeting in Mid-May. When we started this process everyone thought it was impossible. While this represents yet another obstacle to achieving our goal, I just wanted to reassure all of you that we have numerous options at our disposal and have absolutely no plans to give up. Impossible is nothing but a state of mind.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing." ?Muhammad Ali
—Chris Hansen
I'm glad this guy is steering the ship.
I'm not going to ruin it for you How I Met Your Mother fans…but last night's episode was as Barney would say "Legen…wait for it…Dary!" Seriously, watch it…the cameo at the end is so awesome.

This Women's Mag Cover Is Truly Inspiring
So, when we saw the July cover for The Australian Women's Weekly, we were more than a little excited. A spokesperson said the mag chose Turia Pitt, an engineer, athlete, author, and motivational speaker, "because she is quite simply one of the most impressive women you will ever hope to meet." Pitt was competing in a 100km ultra-marathon in 2011 when she was trapped in a bushfire. She sustained burns over 65% of her body; doctors told her partner there was little chance she'd survive. Today, in addition to her full-time job as a mining engineer, she regularly completes impressive athletic events — such as walking the Great Wall of China and swimming a 20km lake race in Australia's Lake Argyle — to raise money for Interplast, a non-profit that provides plastic surgery procedures for those in need.
As the magazine's editor-in-chief, Helen McCabe, puts it, "Any attempt to describe the magic and beauty of Turia seems to get lost in platitudes or clichés. Yet, I have never met a more remarkable person."
For more on Pitt, check out her Twitter page; her book Everything to Live For: The Inspirational Story of Turia Pitt is out now from Random House.

The green is a bit bright... On the "About Us" page, when listing Our Team and Our Studio, the stock photos and the content don't fit. I would suggest either change pictures, update the content (relevant to the subject) or change the titles to something less personalized (Philosophy or Unique Approach would work). The rest of the site is written from a personal perspective; so maybe just stay away from stock photos? Or find some a little less "corporate"...?
Autally like the menu very modern desingh,
Its probally the best i seen today i like the layout
Nice logo! I like it. decrease the font size for your testimonials

We Are The World 25
by Shy Guy Shawn
posted Feb 16 2010 7:48AM
I remember being a kid when 'We Are The World' came out and was amazed at how many musical superstars were able to come together and perform on one song.
Back then you never heard of a songs like that where there were 40 or so more artists.
Now its 25 years later and we have been treated to a new version of 'We Are The World' updated by relevant artists of today.
The charity this time around isnt quite Africa (like the first 'We Are The World' was for) but rather...Haiti. ALL the proceeds from this song & video go to the relief efforts down in Haiti.
The video debuted on Friday right before the Opening Ceremonies for the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Take a look and i will give you commentary of what i think PLUS a full list of all the artists that were involved in this project.
Now it was a very moving and touching rendition i agree but i do still think the artists picked for this version of the project pale in comparison to the one 25 years ago. Not to sound old fashioned or anything but if you watch the original song/video almost everyone you see in there are Hall of Famers. Legends.
On top of that...there were some people i saw in here where i almost asked myself 'what were THEY doing in this song?'
-Like who invited Enrique Igleseas? I didnt even know the guy was still singing since its been over 10 years since the guy was relevant.
-And why are Vince Vaughn and Jeff Bridges singing in this? When has ANYBODY ever heard Vince Vaughn sing to the point he should be asked 'hey you wanna be on this 'We Are The World' project?'. Maybe they were filming a movie next door and it was lunchtime so they decided to stop by and see whats going on?
-Again, unlike the original where you pretty much could recognize almost EVERY musical act that participated back then...looking at this years list here are some more names where i simply thought 'what??' when i saw they were part of this version: Bizzy Bone (from Bone Thugs-N-Harmony), Faith Evans, Farnsworth Bentley, Mya, etc.
Either way its still a great song for a great cause. I wouldnt be me though if i didnt at least give my commentary about it in some way, shape or form.
Now, as promised, the FULL list of performers for 'We Are The World 25' :
Patti Austin
Phillip Bailey
Tony Bennett
Farnsworth Bentley

Track Sea Turtle with Satellite Tag
Green sea turtle Pluto was equipped with a satellite tag and released on June 20th, after being rehabilitated at the North Carolina Aquarium on Roanoke Island. No tracking data was recorded for weeks, and we worried that the tag had malfunctioned. A few days ago, the tag began emitting a signal! Pluto is currently swimming in the Pamlico Sound, north of Cedar Island. Follow the link to see where else Pluto travels!

Editorial: Election nears, and measures are all but forgotten
Redding's City Council majority earlier this year voted to put two questions on the local ballot — Measure A and Measure B — to ask voters if the city should work to cut retirement benefits for city workers. There's little doubt about the need for cost-cutting, but the tactic — bypassing the usual channels and going straight to the voters — provoked a fierce backlash among the city's unions, and the measures are one reason for the nasty state of labor relations at City Hall.
Was the payoff worth stirring up the trouble? The measures' supporters certainly thought so, but strangely enough, they aren't inclined to actually promote the measures to the voters now that they're on the November ballot — this despite a modest but active union campaign against them.
From the time voters alarm clocks wake them up to the time they click off the late-night TV, they can barely avoid political ads. But Redding's voters will barely hear a word on behalf of Measure A and Measure B.
City Councilor Rick Bosetti, who originally conceived the measures, said there's no particular campaign to promote them, though his ads will mention the measures. The city cannot use public resources to campaign for these or any other ballot measures, but if they believe in the cause, there's no reason the backers couldn't privately organize a "Yes" campaign.
Perhaps the lack of urgency reflects the stakes. Bosetti initially sought much stronger measures, but legal hangups related to state labor laws watered them down to the point where they are essentially advisory, not binding. Thus the complaint that the city spent thousands of dollars to put a measure on the ballot asking the councilors to do what they plan to do anyway. In this economy and with the political winds blowing as they are, the measures might just pass even without a campaign. That would indeed be a clear statement from city voters.
Still, if the measures are so inconsequential that even their original backers can't be roused to seriously push for them, it's really hard to see the point of kicking up all this fuss in the first place.

Thorsten Heins, president and CEO at BlackBerry, speaks at Research In Motion's annual conference on May 14 in Orlando. / John Raoux, AP
One of the most recognizable names in smartphones could be up for sale.
BlackBerry will form a special committee to review "strategic alternatives" including a potential sale of the company, the latest blow to the troubled smartphone maker.
In a statement released Monday, the committee will also weigh potential joint ventures and other partnerships in an effort to boost interest in its line of BlackBerry 10 devices.
"Given the importance and strength of our technology, and the evolving industry and competitive landscape, we believe that now is the right time to explore strategic alternatives," says Timothy Dattels, chairman of BlackBerry's special committee, in a statement.
Shares of BlackBerry are up 4.6% at $10.21 in mid-morning trading.
The move signals BlackBerry's struggles to woo mobile consumers toward its BlackBerry 10 platform, featured on revamped smartphones including the Z10 with full touchscreen and the Q10 with the signature physical keyboard.
In June, BlackBerry reported 2.7 million smartphones running BlackBerry 10 shipped during their first quarter, about 40% of total BlackBerry devices shipped.
"It's no surprise the status and future of BlackBerry has been up in the air for some time," says Forrester's Charles Golvin.
Once the dominant force in the smartphone market, BlackBerry quickly ceded ground to rivals like Apple, Google and Microsoft. According to research firm IDC, Google Android and Apple iOS are the top two mobile operating systems, while Microsoft's rising Windows platform surpassed BlackBerry for third place.
"They had been waiting for the Z10 and Q10 to show some signs that the market was interested in an alternative," says Gartner analyst Carolina Milanesi. "It seems the market does want that third ecosystem, but it's not going to be BlackBerry."
Despite its struggles, the company carries valuable assets to entice potential buyers, including its BlackBerry Messenger system and suite of enterprise software. "These are clearly valuable, but what's unclear is whether they all hold value as a standalone entity or as pieces," says Golvin.
JP Morgan Securities is serving as financial advisor to Blackberry and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom are serving as legal advisors.
The company warned in its announcement that "there can be no assurance that this exploration process will result in any transaction."
BlackBerry faces an uphill battle trying to catch mobile frontrunners Apple and Google, but IBB Consulting analyst Jefferson Wang says the company could still turn it around.
"BlackBerry has invented a market once before," says Wang. "They're going to have to do it again. They can't be flat-footed on this next generation of mobile devices."

Farmers worry as parts of Texas are driest in US
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - Drought conditions in Texas are keeping
farmers from planting crops, forcing cattle producers to cull their
herds and drying up lakes across the state.
Despite being soaked by three hurricanes last year, a recent
Drought Monitor map shows that almost 97 percent of the nation's
No. 2 agricultural state is experiencing some drought.
Parts of central Texas and the Hill Country are facing
exceptional droughts -- making them the driest regions in the
country. A Texas AgriLife Extension Service spokesman says with
bone-dry soil there's nothing for farmers to plant on.
But the parched state could be lapping up rainfall in the coming
months. Forecasters say it appears the La Nina weather pattern
that's kept Texas dry may be breaking up.

Medical teams beefing up supplies, preparation for Pittsburgh Marathon
The medical staff working in 18 first-aid stations on the Pittsburgh Marathon course and a field hospital Downtown on Sunday will carry supplies most people thought were unnecessary before the fatal Boston Marathon bombings.
Along with tourniquets, bandages and IV fluids needed to treat traumatic injuries like those encountered April 15, some medical staffers will carry new technology to better track patients.
The Pittsburgh Marathon bought 36 computer tablets to access a tracking program that race organizers in Houston first used this year and Chicago used in the past two. Staff will log in any runner who gets help at an aid station or the medical tent, is transported from the course by medics or is picked up by buses that monitor the slowest participants.
"We can get a complete picture of what's going on with runners and the aid stations," said race director Patrice Matamoros.
Race officials will get real-time statistics from the field on who is getting what kind of help and where. Organizers can dispatch needed supplies and people, and plan for next year's race, Matamoros said. Pittsburgh organizers are working with Chicago and Houston race officials.
The system will have each runner's name, bib number and emergency contact information pre-loaded.
"In a situation where a runner has been admitted at one of the tents, they're asked for permission, and a Red Cross worker will reach out to that emergency contact," said Dee Stathis, director of logistics and operations for the marathon, who saw officials in Houston use the system in January.
Officials will use it to help family members find people at the "lost runner" table near the finish line.
"We had a database in years past, but medical personnel didn't have the tablets and the system," Matamoros said.
She did not have a cost estimate for the system.
The system, which was planned before the bombings, is part of a bulked-up medical presence that matches the higher security precautions organizers are taking because of the deaths and injuries in Boston.
Officials last week announced new limits on where people can go and what they can carry on race day. On Wednesday, they discussed changes in how they will treat runners beyond the normal sprains and strains, heatstroke and heart issues.
"You usually don't expect the battlefield injuries that they saw" in Boston, said Pittsburgh Acting EMS Chief Mark Bocian. "I don't know that anyone, anywhere is prepared for a bomb going off and all they saw with amputees and those injuries."
Among the enhancements:
• Twenty members of Western Pennsylvania ski patrols will form a rapid-response first aid team at the finish line. They can quickly run to treat injuries, Matamoros said.
• More than 400 medical volunteers from UPMC will work the race, about 100 more than last year, said Dr. Ron Roth, the race's medical director.
• Crews from 26 ambulances from outside Pittsburgh will join city paramedics along the route, an increase to 23 from 20 units in years past.
UPMC and the EMS agencies are providing the medical supplies. Bocian said Allegheny County always keeps trailers full of medical supplies scattered across the region for a mass-casualty event.
"We'll bring them closer to the race on Sunday," he said.
People supervising the volunteers who line the race route and work at fluid and aid stations will use the radio system organizers had in Boston.
Roth expects this year's enhanced plans to become the standard for races.
Organizers are monitoring Sunday's weather and ordered more water and cups because fluid stations ran out last year, when the temperature unexpectedly climbed into the 70s with a blazing sun. The marathon ordered about 28,000 gallons of water — up from about 20,000 gallons last year — and increased its order of drinking cups by 100,000 to 450,000.
"We're overdoing it everywhere," Matamoros said of the increased water supplies.
The forecast for the race's 7 a.m. start has temperatures in the mid-50s. They are set to be in the 60s about 1 p.m., with low humidity and overcast skies.
Runners and spectators should review race-day guidelines for what they should and should not bring at www.pittsburghmarathon.com.

|My mistake, I misread his rank and posted as a higher naval rank.
On Forsyth I've been skimming through a PDF on Lee's Legion (Lee's Legion Remembered and was starting to get a little concerned when I wasn't immediately seeing his name. Then I found this paragraph on a search for it.
On 7 April 1778, Lee's contingent was formally separated from the 1st Continental Light Dragoons; and Lee was promoted to Major-commandant and authorized by Congress, at General Washington's request, to augment his unit from one to two troops with a mind to forming an independent corps.5 The first troop was command by Capt. William Lindsay; the second by Capt. Henry Peyton; with a focal recruiting post being set up in Charles County,
It's interesting that this PDF appears not to have any further mention of him. Still might be interesting to go through the names there and find out how many other members had sons, or maybe even daughters, who became noteworthy historical figures in the nation's history. I'm sure some had grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters, etc. who became noteworthy but I look at Lee and Forsyth and see how someone in the next generation of their families became noteworthy in their own right. Although....
We can of course point to Robert E. Lee's own son's who served in the Confederate Army. George Washington Custis Lee and William Henry Fitzhugh Lee both became major generals with Custis Lee becoming aide-de-camp to Davis and Rooney Lee a noted cavalry general. And Robert E. Lee Jr. became a captain in the Rockbridge Artillery and an aide to his eldest brother. Robert Forsyth's grandson, John Forsyth Jr., is known as a newspaper editor but he also apparently became a commissioner representing the Confederate government to the federal government. Though how two this is may be questionable as it may be coming from Appleton's Cyclopedia of American Biography, which supposedly made up some of the biographies in it. Gonna have to try looking him up.

Shelley Persinger: Swim Coach helps Special Olympians conquer fear of water and win gold medals
BROKEN ARROW, Okla. - Each week, Coach Shelley Persinger gathers her swimmers in the pool for a work out at the Boys and Girls Club of Broken Arrow. They go through warm up drills. They work on confidence building exercises.
It's all an effort to get the swimmer comfortable in the water.
Shelley calls out encouragement.
"Use your hands. Come on! Victor, use your hands. Swim! Use your legs. That's it!"
As she watched her swimmers she said, "The most gratifying reward is to have someone come in who is wearing a life vest and clinging to your neck and clinging to the wall to finally be free of the wall, free of your neck and free of the flotation devices and independently swimming and enjoying it on their own."
Shelley is Broken Arrow's Special Olympics coach.
"My father was a paraplegic so working with the handicapped kids and then the special needs kids and then into Down Syndrome and other needs, it just evolved."
During the Oklahoma Special Olympics Winter Games she coached Sarah Parrack to a gold medal in the 25-meter freestyle.
"Working with kids that most people would have written off at birth, to see them achieve something and to be so happy with just finishing what they start is very, very rewarding."
By coaching those children, Shelley is making a difference in the lives of children who might not otherwise get a chance to conquer their fear of water or go for the gold.

Alternate title: Risk Addiction, Basic Instinct II
It should come as no surprise that "Basic Instinct 2," the long-gestating follow-up to Paul Verhoeven's 1992 blip on the zeitgeist screen, is a disaster of the highest or perhaps lowest order. It is also no surprise that this joyless calculation, which was directed by Michael Caton-Jones and possesses neither the first film's sleek wit nor its madness, is such a prime object lesson in the degradation that can face Hollywood actresses, especially those over 40. Acting always involves a degree of self-abasement, but just watching trash like this is degrading. Once again, Sharon Stone stars as Catherine Tramell, a mass-market crime novelist with a psyche as overheated as her prose style. As written by Leora Barish and Henry Bean, "Basic Instinct 2" turns out to be nothing more than a police procedural freighted with some solid acting talent (David Morrissey, Charlotte Rampling, David Thewlis) and tricked out with a little kink (garrotes, handcuffs and chains, oh my). — Manohla Dargis

The Ascent of the Robotic Attack Jet
Building the planes is easy. Making them autonomous, and constructing airborne communications networks, is not.
Compared to many aeronautical curiosities that have taken wing at NASA's Dryden Flight Research Center at California's Edwards Air Force Base over the years, the latest military test stunts did not appear very remarkable. Last April, a low-slung aircraft, about the size of a sport utility vehicle but with batlike wings similar to those of the B-2 stealth bomber, took off, flew at 10,500 meters and then dropped a 110-kilogram inert precision bomb while zipping along at 700 kilometers per hour. Four months later, a pair of the aircraft took off and flew together. These were modest stunts, to be sure, except for this fact: the jets have no pilots. They are the future of warfare, the first working models of networked autonomous attack jets, and the U.S. Department of Defense would like to start building them by 2010.
Eventually such planes will be military mainstays. Of this, most observers are sure; it is simply a lot less expensive – and safer – to send machines into battle than to send people, who require food, sleep, training, and pay. Humans can only tolerate so much G-force and are prone to error; unmanned aircraft have the potential to be more dependable. Already, lone unmanned planes – with humans at the remote controls – are widely used for surveillance. But the next crop of planes will fly in coordinated groups, with more autonomy. They'll tackle jobs such as attacking enemy air defenses, identifying new targets, and releasing precision bombs. "The long-range vision is that the president will wake up some day and decide he doesn't like the cut of someone's jib and send thither infinite numbers of myrmidons – robotic warriors – and that we could wage a war in which we wouldn't put at risk our precious skins" is how John Pike, director of GlobalSecurity.org, a leading defense policy website, puts it.
Realizing this vision will require the creation of new airborne communications networks and a host of control systems that will make these jets more autonomous (though always under the ultimate control of a person) than anything built to date. These are the goals of a $4-billion, five-year program at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon's advanced research arm. Though proposed Pentagon cuts are likely to push funding downward, the program is now DARPA's largest. Under the program, the agency is paying aerospace behemoths Boeing and Northrop Grumman to develop distinct jets with common control systems; DARPA recently signed on the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory to help with the myriad networking, control, and processing problems. Because, while DARPA is ordering up new flying machines, it is also requiring something far more important: the electronic brains to make them work. The jets "are technologically advanced aircraft, to be sure, but the soul…lies in the command and control, sensor, and weapons systems that enable their operation, individually and collectively," explains DARPA program director Michael Francis.
The brain – which is housed on board and within ground-control stations – must do some difficult new things. It must not only keep the plane aloft and on course, but enable groups of planes to fly in coördinated fashion. It must rapidly keep up with changing communication links as the jets slice through the atmosphere at 700 kilometers per hour or faster. It must help make preliminary targeting decisions and drop bombs. While the planes must include the latest networking bells and whistles, they mustn't be too complex to use, so that a single controller – on the ground or in a manned jet flying with the unmanned ones – can effortlessly shepherd fleets of them.
Making each piece work – and adaptable to new missions, and applicable to different flying machines that may be built in the future – presents daunting software and control challenges. But if it works, it could transform how war is waged.

Stormers end losing streakComment on this story
The Stormers scored two tries with 14 men to defeat the Lions 18-3 at Newlands stadium in Cape Town and end a five-match Super 15 losing streak.
Right-wing Damian de Allende and flanker Nizaam Carr crossed the try-line for the Cape Town-based franchise during the first half while hooker Deon Fourie was in the sin bin.
Showing a greater appetite for keeping the ball in hand than in previous games, the Stormers built an 18-point first-half lead and restricted the Lions to just three points after the break.
The Stormers had a clear edge at the line-outs with Lions hookers Robbie Coetzee and replacement Malcolm Marx guilty of numerous poor throws, especially to the tail.
Success lifted the Stormers off the foot of the southern hemisphere inter-provincial championship table as they climbed to 10 points -- one more than compatriots Central Cheetahs.
The Lions, whose No. 8 and captain Warren Whiteley was a last-minute injury withdrawal, suffered three consecutive losses for the first time this season and remain in mid-table.
Fly-half Demetri Catrakilis put the Stormers ahead after three minutes with a penalty, but had to retire with a suspected broken nose soon after.
Superb handling by the home side led to another penalty against the Lions and Peter Grant, who moved from full-back to replace Catrakilis, made no mistake.
An off-the-ball charge on Lions prop Schalk van der Merwe led to Fourie being sin binned midway through the half.
But the hosts shrugged off the numerical disadvantage to score 12 unanswered points and establish an 18-point advantage.
De Allende was first to cross the try-line after a quick tap penalty by captain and centre Jean de Villiers caught the visitors napping.
Carr struck five minutes later, diving over following slick handling after the Stormers won a ruck close to the 22-metre line.
Grant, whose second penalty attempt rebounded off the post, converted the second try and Stormers ran to the changerooms satisfied with a dominant first-half show.
They would have been particularly pleased at keeping the Lions scoreless for 40 minutes after intense late first-half pressure from the Johannesburg outfit.
Leading Super 15 points scorer and Lions fly-half Marnitz Boshoff atoned for an opening-half miss by slotting a penalty on 44 minutes.
But Boshoff, who scored 29 points in a 34-10 home win over the Stormers two months ago, had to settle for just three points as he was replaced before the hour.
Elton Jantjies took over as playmaker and there was also a change at scrum-half with Faf de Klerk coming on for Ross Cronje.
The Lions pressed hard as the game entered the final quarter, but traditional solid Stormers defending kept them out.– AFP

Medical Advisory Committee
In 2010, Pop Warner Little Scholars formed the Pop Warner Medical Advisory Committee to ensure Pop Warner remains proactive on all medical issues that affect youth sports, particularly football and cheerleading.
The Pop Warner Medical Advisory Committee is focused on prevention and proper identification and treatment of concussions, hydration awareness, proper nutrition guidelines, and general health and safety issues.
The Pop Warner Advisory Committee meets annually to discuss new research, advise on policy and rule changes and provide expert advice to the Pop Warner organization to benefit the health & safety of our members.
The Pop Warner Medical Advisory Committee is led by physicians with expertise in neuromedicine and sports safety and includes:
- Chairman - Julian Bailes, MD, Chairman of Pop Warner Medical Advisory Board, Co-Director of NorthShore Neurological Institute and former NCAA and NFL physician.
- Stanley Herring, MD, medical director of spine care at the University of Washington, team physician for the Seattle Seahawks and Seattle Mariners, and co-medical director for the Seattle Sports Concussion Program.
- Lawrence Lemak, MD, founder of Lemak Sports Medicine, The Alabama Sports Foundation and the National Center for Sports Safety, and medical advisor for USA Football.
- Arthur Day, MD, professor of surgery and vice chairman of the Department of Neurosurgery at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.
- Michael D. Lewis, MD, MPH, MBA, FACPM, is the Founder and President of the Brain Health Education and Research Institute.
- Tony L. Strickland, M.S., Ph.D., is the founder and Chairman of the Sports Concussion Institute, and Program Director of the Memory Disorders and Concussion Management Clinics.
- Alexander A. Khalessi, M.S., MD, is the Director of Endovascular Neurosurgery and Surgical Director of NeuroCritical Care and Assistant Professor of Neurosurgery at University of California, San Diego.
- Roland A. Torres, MD, is Chief of Neurosurgery at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and a Clinical Associate Professor at Stanford University.
- Stefan Duma, Ph.D., is the Harry C Wyatt Professor and the Department Head for Biomedical Engineering and Mechanics at Virginia Tech.
- Michael F. Bergeron, Ph.D., FACSM is the President and CEO of Youth Sports of the Americas, Birmingham, AL. He also serves as a clinical and scientific consultant to the Women's Tennis Association (WTA) professional tour medical services and Heat and Hydration Advisor to Major League Soccer (MLS).
Pop Warner instituted a dedicated concussion rule in 2010. The concussion rule echoes the NFL and USA Football's concussion safety and awareness principles, including "when in doubt, sit them out."
In alignment with the Lystedt Law in Washington State, the rule specifically maintains that the return to play decision must be made by a licensed medical official, as opposed to a parent or coach. Any participant removed from practice, play or competition due to a head injury or suspected concussion may only return to the field once he or she has received written clearance from a licensed medical professional trained in the evaluation and management of concussions.
