Cornell decides on Ohio State

Ohio State may have opened up a new pipeline to talent-rich Cretin-Derham Hall High School in St. Paul, Minn., after they landed the commitment of four-star defensive end Jashon Cornell on Wednesday.
"The choice (is) Ohio State," Cornell reported. "I believe it is the right choice because I have family that lives 30 minutes from Ohio State, so I will never get homesick. Then, just the relationship I had with (assistant) coach Larry Johnson. He's been recruiting me since my freshman year and I felt he was the right coach for me."
Justin Hilliard, but it was the relationship with the Buckeyes' coaching staff, particularly Johnson, that prompted the Rivals100 prospect's decision.
"He's sent seven draft picks to the NFL," Cornell said of Johnson. "I know going to him, I'm going to work and he's going to make me a better player.
"Then, you have Urban Meyer, who is one of the top coaches in college football right now. He knows how to teach the game, he knows how to win the game and he knows how to teach his players to be respectful young men."
Ohio State has told the 6-foot-2, 261-pound Cornell that they will bring him in to play a defensive end role.
"I love that defense," Cornell said. "They run a 4-3, so it's one-on-one: me and the offensive tackle."
Despite holding an offer from Ohio State for more than a year, Cornell did not make his first visit to Columbus until the end of May. Seeing the campus in-person further confirmed his impressions of the school.
"One thing about Ohio State, they are a state school but they are one of the top (academic) schools in the country," he said. "Then, football-wise, they are a great football team too. You can't go wrong with that, then I have my aunt that lives 30 minutes away with my cousin and I am real close with them."
Cornell still plans to take visits to Penn State and Michigan State in mid-July, but does not foresee any school swaying his decision.
"It will be really tough. I think I have my mind set," Cornell said. "I am taking those two visits out of respect to those coaches and telling them why I am going to Ohio State."
In Cornell and Hilliard, Ohio State has landed their first Rivals100 prospects of the 2015 class. Besides being the top-rated prospect in Minnesota, Cornell ranks as the nation's No. 76 overall player.

|What is this book trying to do?
|What are the usual errors with grammar and language?
This is a good time for grammar and punctuation. Lynne Truss's runaway success with Eats, Shoots & Leaves shows that people welcome high standards in language use and want to ensure that we can all communicate clearly and effectively. After years when many schools did not teach grammar explicitly, the subject has started to reappear. A number of writers are now showing us that it does not have to be a dry, dull subject.
This book is for all university or college students who have been told that they 'need to do something about grammar' or are worried that their grammar is not up to scratch. It is also for anyone who is interested in grammar and how it works, including school students. Some school teachers and college or university lecturers feel anxious about grammar too: you might be surprised at how many.
The term 'grammar' has a broad meaning here, including language use and punctuation as well as sentence structure. The book is not as comprehensive as some other grammar books, and there are suggestions for further reading in the Bibliography. Its purpose is different from those books.

You came to the wedding afterparty without \nMoney for drinks? Well played
hey man, cake is better than nothing. i just hope you only got 1 or 2 drinks
I'm sure she appreciated that. Bartenders never like making money.
Hey, I bartend for a living and most of us only get paid between $3-4.50 an hour so we need tips. On behalf of bartenders everywhere, FUCK YOU

Crying Wolf is a suspense novel--it says so right on the cover. In Stephen King's blurb of praise, Peter Abrahams is his "favorite American suspense novelist." That should mean nail-biting action--what's lurking around that corner?--eerie coincidence, disturbing glances into the depths of human evil, right? Well, yes. But Abrahams's novel is also a remarkably sensitive examination of a naive young man's emergence from an insular environment into a world more disorienting than he'd ever thought college could be.
Nat is an enormously likable protagonist. His decision to leave his small hometown in Colorado to attend Inverness College, an equally small but very prestigious liberal arts institution, will force him to question attitudes and ways of life he had always taken for granted. But such novelty can be disturbing as well as rewarding: when he meets fellow students Grace and Izzie Zorn, a pair of twins born with any number of silver spoons in their identically lovely mouths, Nat must struggle to reconcile their matter-of-fact acceptance of the omnipresence of money with his own frugal existence. Both dreamer and pragmatist, Nat immediately captures the reader's sympathy.
Abrahams frames Nat's growing awareness of the complexity of existence against the life and times of Freedy Knight, a thief, bodybuilder, and con artist for whom complexity means figuring out a method of acquiring both money and women. Freedy is Abrahams's masterpiece, and he plays with the convention of free indirect discourse to bring the reader right into Freedy's supremely self-satisfied and remarkably funny mind. After a stunning failure as a pool maintenance engineer in California--"Women liked brains, no getting around it. Brains meant sensitivity. For example, floating in the water near the filter was a little furry thing. 'Poor little fella,' you could say to some woman who happened to come by the pool. That was all it took: sensitivity. Combine that with the ripped part, the buff part, the diesel part--that bare-chested dude, wearing cut-offs and workboots, the skimmer held loose in his hands, was he himself, after all--and what did you have? The kind of dude women went crazy for, absolutely no denying that."--Freedy brings his arrogance and a powerful methamphetamine addiction back east. It's only a matter of time before his path and Nat's will cross.
When Freedy (searching for dorm room goodies to fence) and the Inverness trio both stumble upon the underground rooms of a long-gone secret society, and when his mother's unemployment means that Nat can no longer afford to stay at Inverness, greed, nonchalance, and fear unite. The three students are on a collision course with a desperately charismatic criminal; the twins' well-intentioned plan to keep Nat at Inverness by staging a kidnapping for ransom will go horribly awry. Nothing bad was supposed to happen: they were only crying wolf. Unfortunately, sometimes the wolf is real. --Kelly Flynn --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
Edgar nominee Abrahams (Lights Out; A Perfect Crime) returns with a suspense novel built around kidnapping, extortion and youthful stupidity. Nat is the eager, sports-loving valedictorian of his small-town Colorado high school. With his $2,000 prize in an essay contest, he can just barely afford to enroll at Inverness, an elite New England college. There he meets Grace and Izzie Zorn, twins from a wealthy Manhattan family, who bring Nat home with them for the Christmas holiday and show him tall buildings, fine wines and decadent parties. Meanwhile, a steroid-pumped, speed-freak criminal named Freedy flees his job cleaning swimming pools in L.A. after a botched rape and assault. Heading home to Inverness to live off his perpetually stoned mother, he discovers his next source of income: technological appliances from the college. Freedy begins ripping them off and fencing them to a local hood, using a network of tunnels beneath the school to get in and out. Nearly stumbling into Freedy one night, Nat and the girls discover a hidden room full of old books and booze, which becomes their hideaway. When Nat's mother is fired from her job, Nat fears he'll have to drop out of Inverness, so the girls (both have slept with him by now) plot to stage their own kidnapping, earmarking the "ransom" for Nat's tuition. Mr. Zorn quickly thwarts their plan, but Freedy, who has been spying on Nat and the girls' secret meetings, hatches his own, far more dangerous, kidnapping scam. Now, when the situation is serious, Nat's vain pleas for help give the novel its name. Abrahams's plot moves too slowly to please readers looking for danger, verve and action, and his characters are too crudely drawn to succeed as examples of dissolute late-adolescent elites. With his foul language and his 'roid and meth-driven delusions of grandeur, Freedy makes for an interesting villain, but his rages can't sustain the book. Nat remains too naive for too long, his girlfriends are two-dimensional and a distracting subplot (involving Nat's philosophy professor, Mr. Zorn and Freedy's mother) is left unresolved. (Mar.)

Liverpool What, exactly, is the conclusion to draw from the Liverpool softball team's 12-4 victory over Cicero-North Syracuse in Monday afternoon's welcome spring sunshine?
Either it is the strong, loud statement of the Warriors using its bats to silence and dominate its long-time rival and part-time nemesis, or it's the Northstars conceding one small battle at this late point in the regular season in order to concentrate on the larger prize.
The whole truth won't be known until the spring is done, of course, but on this day Liverpool frolicked, scoring nine runs in the first two innings to drain all the suspense out of the outcome.
In many ways, the top of the first inning proved vital. Dana Nicoletti, pitching for the Warriors, got the first two outs, and then, after Morgan Phililps walked, struck out Dana Scott, C-NS's clean-up hitter.
Fired up by that, Liverpool took charge in the bottom of the first, glad not to face the Northstars' top pitcher, Megan Tully, who rested as Gabriella Corasaniti got the start.
With one out, Ericka Sadowski beat out a bunt single. Alicia Hansen and Peyton Bellrose followed with singles to load the bases, and after Jenna Wike popped out, a wild pitch scored Sadowski, putting the Warriors on the board.
Seconds later, Katie Yudin delivered a two-run triple, and Taylor Charles followed with a single that brought home Yudin and made it 4-0.
And that was just the start of it. In the bottom of the second, singles by Nicoletti, Sadowski and Hansen again loaded the bases, and Bellrose belted a two-run single that extended Liverpool's lead to 6-0 and knocked out Corasaniti.
Alyssa Neuser took over in the pitcher's circle for C-NS, but Wike greeted her with a run-scoring single, and Yudin's long sacrifice fly, plus Nicole Cerrone's single, put the Northstars in a rare 9-0 deficit.
From there, Nicoletti calmly cast C-NS aside, only allowing a Khaliyah Flournory solo home run until the seventh, when the Northstars tacked on three runs. That was after Liverpool made it 12-1 on run-scoring hits from Yudin in the fourth inning, and Hansen and Bellrose an inning later.

It depends on what's preventing you from riding more -
My immediate family is my wife and 5 cats. The wife rides with me when she can and the cats sleep; no problem there.
Work. Goes in cycles. When I can, I try to influence it so that crunch time is in winter months, although I don't really hold much sway. My hours can "flex" to some extent.
Daylight/Cold/Snow&Ice. These are the killers for me. If the roads don't have ice on them, then they're full of sand in the winter. This winter has been relatively warm, but 20 degrees with a bone-chilling wind doesn't usually inspire me. And early spring and late fall daylight is short. I may try some lights this season, although I'm generally not a fan of night time riding.
In the warm seasons, I get up at dawn and ride, or after work. Long rides on the weekend. Life is good.

Sharon Simon, 57, of Liberty Township says she stands behind her son, Mitchell Simon, 16, who is accused of trying to kill her and her husband by setting their home on fire.
7100 block of Tarragon Court
LIBERTY Twp., Ohio -- Now confined to the first floor of her two-story Liberty Township home, Sharon Simon has just finished knitting at her dining room table.
"It's been very lonely not having Mitchell around," she said of her 16-year-old son.
Her entryway is blocked — the staircase is draped in plastic tarps, and her upstairs belongings are now downstairs as crews prepare to tear out and repair the fire-damaged second story of her home.
"I just try to pass the time," Simon said.
The mother found out Wednesday that two attempted murder charges and an aggravated arson charge would stand against her teenage son, Mitchell Simon. He is accused of trying to kill her and his father inside their Tarragon Court home.
"I don't believe it," his mother said, who now visits her son three times a week at the juvenile detention center in Hamilton. "I know my son. I'm his mom."
Police say the Lakota West honors student tied a rope around the doorknob of his mother's bedroom door so she and his father couldn't escape when he set their house on fire.
Investigators say they found records and journals written by the teen depicting how he was going to set fire to the home. The journal included information on how he would tie the door shut to his parents' bedroom so they couldn't escape.
Family Stands Behind Him
The Simon family's November courtroom reunion showed early signs of unconditional support, despite the attempted murder charges against their son.
"All I cared about was having contact with him — being able to hold him and to tell him I loved him," said the mother.
The teen embraced his mother tight in court, and the two openly wept while standing next to his father, Perry Simon, who broke his ankle when he jumped from the second floor of the family's burning home. The family had just received news the teen would be tried as an adult.
The raw moment between Mitchell and his family in court was a stark contrast from the teen Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones accused of concocting a "cold, calculated plot" to kill his mom and dad.
"You love your child no matter what," Simon said. "It's that unconditional love, and I know what the charges are but it doesn't mean they are true. I don't think a lot of them are true."
'I did not hear his voice'
Simon said she was asleep in her bedroom when the fire alarm sounded the night of Oct. 23.
"This was just really kind of out of the blue," she said. "It never once crossed my mind that anybody in this house was responsible for it."
Simon said she refused to leave the home until she knew her son and husband were safe.
"I knew that Perry had gotten out of the house, but I did not hear Mitchell's voice." she said. "As many times as I yelled for him, I did not hear his voice, and I did not leave my home without him."
The mother revealed few specific details from that night since the case is still on-going, but it was hours after firefighters helped her exit the home that police told her they believed her son was to blame.
"I don't believe what I was told," she said. "Because no matter what, in any family, you're going to have arguments over this and arguments over that — especially with teenagers — but the image they were trying to portray? And that's what I told them: 'I don't believe you.'"
For days, Simon was lost -- tending to her husband in the hospital, taking care of the damage to their home and trying to navigate what would happen to her son.
"Where do we go? What do we do? What do we do next? Never being a part of the court system for any reason, you don't know what to do. You don't really know who to contact. You don't know what to do about your house," said Simon.
It was 10 days before the family was allowed to see their son again.
"All I could think of was that's my son and he's locked up and I can't get to him. I can't get to him to comfort him. I can't tell him I love him. I can't tell him I'm near him," she said. "Not only are you trying to cope with it, but you just feel hopeless."
For the family with no prior experience navigating the court system, their reunion was quite the shock.
"To go into a court room and have your son walk out, you know, the clothing that they wear — it was just unreal," Simon said. "It was just like, 'This is a dream. Please let this be a dream and let me wake up and let this not be for real.'"
In His Mother's Eyes
Simon said Mitchell does not have a history of behavioral problems.
"He's the type of person who is very sympathetic and would give you a coat if you didn't have a coat," she said.
She likened her relationship with her son to that of any parent-teenager bond.
"As he got older, obviously hanging out with mom and dad wasn't the thing to do," she said.
She said she spent time with Mitchell, going to their favorite restaurants, playing board games and watching movies. However, his favorite thing to do was hang out with his friends.
"Mitchell is a typical teenager," Simon said. "He loves us and wants to please, but
he wants to please friends also. He wants to be liked and wants people to like him."
She said the honor student played tuba in his school's marching band. He likes playing sports and aspires to be a crime scene investigator.
"He had so many colleges writing him to send in applications to their schools," she said."He has a lot of talent and he has a lot that he can offer, that he can give to society, to people that he comes in contact with. He's a fun kid."
Visits With Her Son
The teen's parents visit their son at the juvenile detention center about three times a week. The visits are supervised, and the family is not permitted to talk to their son about anything related to his case.
"It's very awkward," Simon said. "There's not a whole lot to talk about. You know, 'The weather is this,' 'The dogs are doing this,' 'This is what's going on in the world.'"
And that means months have gone by without answers.
"I don't know the full story on his part. I just don't know his thoughts because we can't ask him," she said. "But I am more concerned with how he is. I am more concerned with, 'Are you eating? Are you sleeping? Are you taking care of yourself?'
She said Mitchell's response is always: "I want to come home."
"There were times at the beginning that it was difficult to visit him because… he would hug me, and I knew I had to leave," she said. "But I can't tear myself away from my son because he won't let me leave… All I can do is get out as fast as I can before I break down."
The Future
Despite the fact that their son faces up to 22 years in prison if convicted on attempted murder charges, the Simons are hopeful he'll come back home.
"I think when he gets home it will just be more of, 'Where do we go from here? What do we need to do to continue to support you to get you back on track so you can see that you have a future," said his mother.
Left with more questions than answers about that night, Simon's biggest fear is what's in store for her son's future.
"It would be a shame that, you know, we all make mistakes. We all do stuff that we wish we hadn't done and for him this is a big thing," she said. "But how much will it stand in his way? How much of it will he have to pay for it?"
WCPO reporters Jay Warren and Maxim Alter contributed to this report.

Creators | Ed Piskor talks about his love of hip-hop and his latest graphic novel, Hip Hop Family Tree. [TribLive]
Hip Hop Family Tree by Ed Piskor, Fantagraphics Books, 120 pages, $24.99.
I enjoy both hip-hop and reading books about the history of music or nascent art forms in general, so this book fits right in my wheelhouse anyway, but, man, did I like this comic. I liked the way Piskor designed the book, making it look like one of those oversized Marvel or DC "Treasury" books from the 1970s, and even goes so far as to use newsprint-like paper and print the colors slightly off-register at times, all the better to evoke those lap-sized comics of yesteryear. I liked the way he juggles a huge cast of characters, jumping around from one to the next without losing or confusing the reader. I like how he employs some wonderful bits of cartoonish exaggeration (that, it should be noted, never devolves into ethnic stereotyping), so that Grandmaster Flash wears an impossibly large cap, Mellie Mel's afro seems larger than his head at times, and Russell Simmons is a cross-eyed guy with a bad lisp. Piskor seems to know intuitively how to relate the best, most revealing and juiciest anecdotes without bogging the reader down in minutiae. I've enjoyed Piskor's work in the past (most notably with his hacker book Wizzywig) but he's never seemed quite as confident a storyteller as he does here. Can't wait for volume two.
Mondo, the Alamo Drafthouse's collectible art boutique, is celebrating EC Comics and Tales From the Crypt for Halloween with a gallery show featuring work by more than 30 artists honoring the television anthology and the horror titles on which it was based.
"I care about EC Comics very much. Even though I wasn't around when it was originally published, the HBO Tales From the Crypt was an amazing intro into a demented world of darkly comedic horror stories and vivid artwork," Mondo CEO Justin Ishmael said in a press release. "EC Comics' editor Bill Gaines is one of my heroes and it's so incredibly exciting to combine his creations with 30-something artists that are also fans of that era."
The show, which will run from Oct. 25 through Nov. 23 at the Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas, will original art and screen prints by the likes of Warwick Johnson Cadwell, Francesco Francavilla, Jeff Lemire, Chris Mooneyham, Ed Piskor, Jim Rugg and Eric Skillman. You can see more names on the postcard below.
Retailing | Publishers Weekly's annual comics retailer survey yields some interesting commentary, although the sample size is small (just 10 stores): Sales are up, retailers are optimistic, and Saga is the hot book right now. Also, booksellers who underestimated the demand for Chris Ware's Building Stories lost out to direct-market retailers who didn't, making for some nice extra sales during the holiday season. And while readers seem to be getting tired of the Big Two and their event comics, they are more enthusiastic than ever before about creator-owned comics, and Image is doing quite well.

Retailing | Naruto topped the May BookScan chart of graphic novels sold in bookstores, followed by two volumes of The Walking Dead, the latest volume of Sailor Moon, and Yen Press' latest Twilight adaptation New Moon. Just three volumes total of The Walking Dead made the Top 20 (down from eight last month), and as usual, DC and Marvel got clobbered: DC had three titles on the list (two volumes of Court of Owls and Watchmen) while Marvel had one (Hawkeye), and none was above No. 15. Or to put it another way: Vol. 14 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, a high-numbered volume in a fairly niche manga series, placed higher than every Big Two book on BookScan last month. [ICv2]

Conventions | Fables creator Bill Willingham is the host of this weekend's Fabletown and Beyond convention in Rochester, Minnesota, focusing on "mythic fiction." He and organizer Stacy Sinner give a preview of what is to come. "I'm the host of the event, which means I get a lot of people to do the actual hard work, while I sit back imperiously on my throne and say 'Yes,' to this, and, 'No,' to that," Willingham said. "The downside is, of course, I also have to write the checks." [Rochester Post-Bulletin]
Publishing | Todd Allen analyzes the sales of DC Comics' New 52 titles from their September 2011 launch to the past month. Sales of any series tend to drop off from one issue to the next — Allen compares it to radioactive decay — and when the numbers drop below 18,000 for a couple of titles, DC tends to cancel them in batches and start up new titles to replace them. That plus crossovers and strong sales of some flagship titles has kept the line fairly stable until recently, but as Allen notes, the replacement titles tend to crash and burn pretty quickly, and overall sales have dipped a bit.

Conventions | Bart Beaty files a final report on this year's Angouleme International Comics Festival, and his verdict is … meh. "There was a consensus all around that the show was flat.

Their experience comes more from watching The Simpsons and The Big Bang Theory, as you pointed out, than from seeing a great number of stores, though. I am very lucky to work for ComicsPRO; I get to work with hundreds of stores around the country, a large percentage of which are owned or operated by women." [Colorado Springs Gazette]
Digital comics | Rob Salkowitz, who's making the rounds to promote his new book Comic-Con and the Business of Pop Culture, has the best summary yet of the digital comics phenomenon: "Digital doesn't cannibalize the industry; it grows it by encouraging fandom."

Creators | Christos Gage may have created a new genre, "geezer noir," with his graphic novel Sunset, the tale of an old soldier and former hitman who sets off after his old boss when he fears his ex-wife and child are in peril: "'He's got this craggy face and you see his life written in the lines of his face, and black and white makes that so much more powerful,' the writer says. He credits artist Jorge Lucas for giving him all the facial expressions that stand in for a lot of talking: 'He was never going to have interior monologues. I don't think he overanalyzes what he does all that much.'" [USA Today]
First of all, we need to think up some new terms to distinguish journalism done via comics — as practiced by, say, Joe Sacco — from journalism about comics. Suggestions gleefully accepted!
Whatever we call it, sequential-art reporting is definitely coming into its own, and we have the links to prove it. For starters, here's a video of the Comics and Journalism in a New Era panel at Comic-Con International, moderated by Publishers Weekly comics editor Calvin Reid and featuring a stellar lineup of Susie Cagle (who
has been involved in as well as reporting reported* on Occupy Oakland), Andy Warner, Stan Mack, Ed Piskor, Dan Carino and Chris Butcher.
Creators | Following the appearance of the Infinity Gauntlet in Thor and the cameo by Thanos in The Avengers, Marvel appears poised to expand the cosmic elements of its cinematic universe with The Guardians of the Galaxy. While some fans eagerly await a movie announcement next week at Comic-Con International, Thanos creator Jim Starlin (who had to buy his own tickets to Thor and The Avengers) may be laying the groundwork for a legal challenge: Heidi MacDonald points out that Starlin has posted an early drawing of the Mad Titan on his Facebook page, writing, "This is probably one of the first concept drawings of Thanos I ever did, long before I started working at Marvel. Jack Kirby's Metron is clearly the more dominant influence in this character's look. Not Darkseid. Both D and T started off much smaller than they eventually became. This was one of the drawings I had in my portfolio when I was hired by Marvel. It was later inked by Rich Buckler." [The Beat]
Comics | Tim Marchman, author of that much-discussed Wall Street Journal article, is at it again, this time interviewing Watchmen editor Len Wein about his work on Before Watchmen, and including the interventions of DC Comics Publicity Manager Pamela Mullin as part of the story.

Liberia: Agricultural assistance for 30,000 families
22-01-2004 News Release 04/05
This week the ICRC launched a major agricultural programme designed to benefit 30,000 families (some 150,000 people) over the coming six months.
In the first phase, 10,000 families in Grand Gedeh and 5,000 families in Lofa counties will receive axes, machetes, hoes, rakes, shovels and other tools. The same households will each be given 20 kg of rice seed and assorted vegetable seed in time for the planting season in April.
The purpose of this programme is to enable residents and returnees to earn a living and thereby to help restore their dignity. For many of them, this will be the first time in years that they have been able to sow and harvest their fields.
In Grand Gedeh, over 80 per cent of the original population is now back in the villages. In Lofa, one of Liberia's traditional breadbaskets, less than 20 per cent of the population has so far returned and most fields have not been cultivated for the past three years. Surveys of further agricultural needs are currently under way in other counties, including Grand Cape Mount, Bomi, Grand Bassa and Sinoe.
Since the war ended in early August, the focus of ICRC assistance programmes has shifted from the displaced and resident population in and around Monrovia to residents and returnees in the country's 15 counties.
In addition to its agricultural assistance programme, the ICRC is currently involved in activities to protect civilians and people deprived of their freedom, restore family links, assist internally displaced persons and other vulnerable residents, improve access to safe drinking water, provide medical care and spread knowledge of international humanitarian law. The ICR C also provides support for and cooperates with the Liberia National Red Cross Society.
For further information, please contact: Reto Stocker, ICRC Monrovia, tel. ++ 377 47 556 588

parents don't file a birth certificate -- the hospital is required to...
caligirl1201 9 years
It's Thomas Mapother IV or something like that. I read that the birth certificate was filed a month after Suri was allegedly born. They did not file the certificate, they sent a "friend" to do it because she needed the birth certificate filed to get a passport. Why does a little Baby need a passport so soon. This "birth" seems more like an illegal adoption to me and maybe Katie never was pregnant. There are always Hollywood prosthetics and Tom's been in enough movies to use the best.
linda 9 years
I can't read the document too clearly...and no its not my eyes...but Cruise is not his legal last name. I think its Mathopan or something like that and from what I can barely see it says Cruise. So I think its a faux certificate. The whole Suri (or non Suri) thing is totally bizzare to say the least.

why doesn't he just show the baby to one of his friends or at least have them lie and say they saw said child? perhaps this isn't very hollywood, but generally, when someone gives birth, their friends and family go to see the baby soon after.

Something does seem strange about all this. Why would Tom, a man who loves publicity, hide his baby when we see all the other celebs out with theirs. I won't believe Suri is real until we see pics of her. Don't be surprised if she's Chinese, because it's quicker and easier to adopt a Chinese baby than most other countries and I'm thinking that's what Tom and Katie have done.

Let's get this started with a bang; if you're a fan of video games, then you will absolutely love The Club. And after playing through everything the game had to offer, I was left with one all-important question that I still can't answer, "Why the hell did it take a developer this long to make this game?"
Let's face it, many of today's games try to do so many things at once that they're often their own worst enemy. Thankfully, the guys and gals at Bizarre Creations didn't let themselves get bogged down with superfluous storytelling or any of the other myriad of problems that plague many of today's games.
Instead, they traveled back in time to the Golden Age of gaming when points reigned king and everything else was a mere afterthought. Those were truly the good ol' days because gaming was all about skill then, and that's exactly what you'll need if you plan on being any good at The Club.
In the most simplest terms, The Club is a third-person shooter centered around chaining your kills together to rack up as many points possible. Sounds pretty easy, right? Well, there's a lot more to it than that.
After each kill, your Kill Bar will be filled but will automatically begin draining. If you make another kill before your Kill Bar completely drains, you'll score a combo, which cumulatively adds up with each subsequent kill. However, as your combo multiplier goes higher and higher, it will drain faster, making it that much harder to keep your combo alive. If your Kill Bar runs out, you'll lose a number from your combo every second or so until you make your next kill or lose your combo altogether.
To make it a bit easier, though, Bizarre Creations was gracious enough to include Skullshots (tiny skull-shaped signs) hidden throughout the game. When you shoot one of these, it acts as if you've killed an enemy, refilling your Kill Bar and increasing your combo. Trust me, these will come in very handy when you can't find an enemy to pick off. But by now you're probably beginning to realize that The Club is a lot more deep than you might have first thought, eh?
In a sense, the storyline in The Club is somewhat similar to David Jaffe's Twisted Metal - several interesting characters from throughout the world are brought together by a mysterious man to compete against each other in a tournament. Even the endings for each character feel reminiscent to the popular car combat series.
However, you're not physically fighting your competitors here. Each tournament takes place on a singular level, which is broken down into six rounds with a different objective in each. After each round is completed, the scores are compiled and each participant is rewarded with a certain number of points depending on how they well they fared. These objectives range from Time Attack, where you must complete laps around a predefined course, earning extra time by killing enemies or shooting time markers to my personal favorite, Siege, which places you in a small area with waves of enemies continually coming at you from all directions. The catch here is that if you leave your area for more than a few seconds, explosives attached to your body will set off, and you'll lose the round.
After learning how the game ticks, there's one more piece to this puzzle - the characters. In total, there are eight playable characters, two of which are unlockable, each with different attributes that are best suited for different objectives. These attributes are based on speed, strength and stamina. At first, you may be like a particular character for how cool they look (Nemo is a complete badass), but you'll soon learn that their attributes are much more important, and you'll need to find the one that best matches your play style to ensure you maximize your points.
Don't worry, though, because The Club isn't solely about how many enemies you kill. It's also about how you kill them. You'll earn extra points by busting through a door and quickly killing an enemy or using the last bullet in your clip to make a kill.
All these different aspects within the game help to ensure an otherwise straightforward shooter never becomes monotonous. That's especially important because playing through The Club's single-player mode won't take but more than a few hours, but if you're worrying about that, you're missing the point of the game. What makes The Club so enticing is that it will reawaken that competitive nature inside every gamer to get better and better. You'll need to replay levels over and over again to learn where enemies spawn from and where health and weapon pickups can be found.
Of course, a game based on scoring must control and play as near to perfection as possible, or it won't be much fun for long, right? Thankfully, Bizarre Creations has come through here. Shooting is controlled by R1 and sprinting with R2, while the L1 and L2 buttons perform melee attacks and enters aim mode, respectively. Admittedly, mapping the shooting and sprint buttons next to each other takes some getting used to and is a questionable choice, but once you get the hang of it, it begins to feel natural.
Because the game is so fast paced and hectic, it can be pretty hard to accurately shoot your enemies, but the game's hit boxes are extremely accurate, which means if your bullets aren't hitting flesh, it's all your fault.
Another sacrifice that is made due to the game's fast-paced action is you never really get the chance to sit still and notice whether the graphics are really great or whether the music is any good. When playing, you are literally only worried about getting that next kill. I'm not sure if Bizarre Creations had to make some concessions in the visual department to ensure the game ran without a hitch or what, but The Club is most definitely not the prettiest game you'll find on the PS3, but it's certainly not bad by any stretch of the imagination.
Graphically, the game is good enough to get the job done, and in the end, that's all that really matters.
With so much of the game's focus on the single player, one might forget that The Club also has multiplayer, both offline and online, as well. Supporting up to eight players online, you can play two sets of games - Free For All or Team Games. In Free For All, you'll be able to play three sets of games, one of which adopts the single-player's point system, and Team Games features more traditional online games like Team Kill or Team Siege. However, there are some interesting ones here, too. In Team Skullshots, each team is tasked with finding their enemy's Skullshots and trying to destroy them before theirs are destroyed.
While The Club has so much going for it, there are a few slight problems that can be found here and there.
When playing in the tournament and coming to the end of a level, you must bust through a barricaded door by hitting X, the action button. However, you have to wait for an on-screen prompt when you're near the door to perform the action sequence. This is a problem because if you hit the button too soon, you'll perform a roll instead, which can waste valuable time and literally be the difference between completing the level or losing altogether.
For the most part, the weapons in the game are enjoyable, and range from handguns to rifles to RPGs. However, there are several times through the course of the game when your character will start the level with the shotgun, and you'll quickly realize that you hate it. The shotgun isn't necessarily a bad weapon, but with the game's focus so much on quick shooting, there's a lot of wasted time using the shotgun because your character re-pumps the gun after every shot.
Finally, the game supports online leaderboards, which is definitely a must for this type of game. But I think Bizarre Creations could have done something really cool here by allowing you to upload a video of your run through the level for extra bragging rights. Not only would it be cool for that reason, but it'd also let other gamers see how the experts are playing to help them get better themselves.
In the end, Bizarre Creations has succeeded remarkably well in what it set out to accomplish - a game that truly requires skill and rewards persistence, patience and training. The Club is the type of game that could easily be played in tournaments throughout the world for years to come, and I can honestly see myself keeping this game in my rotation for a long, long time. I suppose the biggest travesty in all this is that Activision recently purchased Bizarre Creations, and since Sega owns the rights, it's pretty much guaranteed that Bizarre will never have the opportunity to develop the game's sequel.

deer canyon is a wonderful school a lot of enriching activities.. a great focus on academic learning as well as on developing learning skills.
Our 2 kids have attended Deer Canyon for 4 years. Overall the education is fine although class sizes are now 27 even at the Kindergarten level. Reading is taught in Kindergarten. Most teachers are good. Standardized testing happens 4 times/year. There are no programs for gifted kids. Most families have a stay-at-home or working part-time mom many of whom are heavily involved in school activities. There are no teachers' aides so parents volunteer in the classrooms and run the art program. The PTA is very active and runs a lot of events that are fun and build a strong sense of community. A Foundation raises money to fund a science lab and teacher language arts learning lab and teacher and PE program and teacher along with computers workbooks and classroom supplies. Sometimes it feels like the Chinese-speaking parents are not very well integrated but more of those families may have 2 working parents. We have seen no evidence of bullying in contrast to what our kids encounter when interacting with kids from other local schools. Overall Deer Canyon is a public school that has weathered state budget cuts on the strength of its highly committed parents.
What a lovely school! Outstanding academics without the pressure cooker feeling you sometimes get from that. The teachers have been excelling here for years so it's a well-oiled machine. Nice kids nice parents a beautiful neighborhood school tucked away like a gem. So grateful we found it!
I am a parent of Deer Canyon school.Here teachers are great.They have helped my child a lot in learning and geeting new experiences.
Deer Canyon is a lovely school full of supportive staff. My son was being teased in the first grade and the teacher was very supportive. I have to say because the students are 'well off' there aren't fights or threats like there were in my working class neighborhood growing up. But I think Bullying is taken extremely seriously. I also like the new principal. She has had some big shoes to fill this year and she is lucky enough to come just as everyone is doing budget cuts. But every concern I have had has been dealth with. I am glad we bought our home here.
With the new principal things have been going downhill since August. The bullying has escalated to such a degree that my kids are afraid to go to school.
I've worked at this school for 8 years now. The work environment is wonderful and the community is lovely. I moved my daughter over from another school to be here with me and she really excelled. I love it here and though I've had several opportunities would not work anywhere else!
I have 2 children in this school and its great.I just love my childrens teacher.I have their emails and can contact them anytime and vice versa if there are any issues which I think is great.My children look forward to going to school each day which speaks volumes about the environment at school.
We have had 3 children go through Deer Canyon and couldn't be happier. Great teachers great community great leadership = top notch education!
Deer Canyon is a prototypical teach-to-the-test 21st century school. The district and therefore the school is only motivated to do well on standardized tests. To that end it is arguably the highest ranked elementary school in the district according to STAR results. The principal is very talented and gives a great deal of his personal time to the school but tends to support his teachers over the students. Therein lies the problem. The teachers for the most part do not make the child their first priority. Students may do well on tests but what have they actually learned? Parent involvement is great but this reinforces the teachers adherence to a rigid curriculum that puts a lot of the responsibility on the parents. Extra-curricular activities are only available because of the PTA and its foundation that funds these activities. A stay at home mom or dad is a must for this school.
An excellent school with highly experienced teachers! My son is in his third year of attendance and has vastly improved in his academics since moving to Deer Canyon.
They did a great job on STAR Test. There are professional music teacher coming to the class once a week; They have talent show every year. Parents here are quite involved in school activities. It's a nice school!
My child was actually in the autism special day class for k-2. My son failed to meet most of his benchmarks and goals and the teacher not only failed to inform me to try to remedy things but actually prepared reports that stated that he was making sufficient progress to meet all his goals. I found the staff in general to be very disinterested in working with me collaboratively for the benefit of my child. The principal is amazing professional to the core and supports his teachers but also respects parents and their contributions. APE teacher is amazing. We had to change schools.
This was a great school that was tops in Safety and extracurricular activities. There were one or two teachers who I would avoid but several I would refer to any friend.
Deer Canyon has seen vast improvement under the strong leadership of the current principal. They have a brand new computer lab and have managed to keep a music and physical education program even though budget cuts would have eliminated them. There are a fair number of activities including a sock hop talent show and science club. The parents at the school have formed their own foundation to increase funding for the school. I would like to see more of the teachers take a personal interest in improving the school because only a few of them shine in that regard.
Excellent School. Very active PTA.

Mary J. Blige created a rapping alter ego — "Brook" — for her album The Breakthrough, to give her the freedom to spit cocky rhymes without worrying about how they might affect Mary's persona.
"I had to separate the two because Mary is nice, you know, intelligent," she explained. "Brook is crazy and ignorant and she don't care."
Now, like a shadow, Brook is following Blige around. Brook went along when Busta Rhymes asked Mary to be one of six people who joined him for remixes of "Touch It" (DMX, Lloyd Banks, Papoose, Missy Elliott and Rah Digga appear on other versions).
"Brook cut lose on the Bus record, she did her thing," Mary laughed. "Busta didn't just want Mary on it, he wanted Mary and Brook. So the calm one [rapping] is Mary, but the [wild] one is Brook. You gotta think about Busta when you get on a Busta record — he's all the way over there at the top [going crazy], so you gotta get either over him or right below him."
The clip, of course, has been marred by the tragic murder of Israel Ramirez, one of Busta's bodyguards, which took place outside the video's set (see "Police Want To Question Busta Rhymes About Fatal Shooting At Video Set" ). The investigation is ongoing and police say Busta has declined all requests to talk with them. A spokesperson for Blige said the singer had left the video set before the shooting, and Mary herself said the day had been a pleasurable experience.
She also seems to have thrown herself into the role of playing Brook. "That was so much fun, because Mary is all calm with the braids wrapped around [her head], and Brook is all 'Ahh!' " she said. "Y'all gotta see Brook — she's got a big old afro and big old earrings. She's just showing off everything — not everything! — but you know, she's gonna show a little abs and her arms. We could only do the first eight bars of our rhymes because Busta had [edited the different remix versions together for the video]. Everybody was there shooting the video, so he had to get everybody in."
The video is slated to premiere on MTV's "DFX" on Monday and "TRL" Tuesday.

~ Jeremiah's Inn 20th Annual Food Drive ~
Monday July 7 - Saturday July 12, 2014
Price Chopper ~ Cambridge Street Worcester, MA
The Annual Food Drive is an event critical to the success and continued operation of Jeremiah's Inn's Emergency Food Pantry. The purpose of the event is to raise friends, funds and food donations to support the food distribution operation which helps to annually feed over 12,000 individuals representing nearly 6,000 households residing in South Worcester. We hold the food drive in July each year to not only replenish our food supply but more importantly, to raise awareness about hunger in our community at a particularly challenging time of year. Most people think about "giving" during the holidays, but in the heat of summer while many are on vacation or otherwise enjoying the beautiful weather, holiday parties, picnics and outings there are many, many more of our friends, family members and neighbors who simply can't make ends meet. Now that children are home from school on summer break families who already struggle to pay the bills and put food on the table have to come up with the means to feed their children breakfast and lunch - meals often consumed for free or reduced cost at school. Too often care takers must make a choice - pay the bills or feed their children or go without eating so their child doesn't go to bed hungry. Through the support of our gracious sponsors and donors such as yourself we are able to do our part to make life a little easier for those less fortunate this summer and throughout the year. Our sponsors have done their part through financial or in-kind support of the 20th Annual Food Drive.
Please stop by and see us outside Price Chopper - 50 Cambridge Street - Worcester, MA 01603 between 8am - 6 pm Monday July 7 - Saturday July 12 to do your part with a donation.
We look forward to seeing you!

Parasitism did not induce different behavioral treatment by colony nestmates. The rate of behavioral acts or interactions did not differ between Nosema-infected and control bees (A and B), and Varroa-infested and control bees (C and D) (Mann–Whitney tests, P > 0.05 for each behavior). The experiment was performed on two colonies (19–20 bees/state in the Nosema experiment and 12 bees/state in the Varroa experiment).

This may help. Bulletin BPI 03-16Subject: Wheel speed sensor may cause engine-control problems. Vehicle Involved: 2001-2003 Hyundai Elantra2003 Hyundai TiburonCondition: Some Hyundai s without Anti Lock Brakes are equipped with wheelspeed sensors. Vehicles listed above that have 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engines use the frontright wheel speed sensor input for engine control data. In these vehicles the enginecontrol computer compares the right front wheel speed sensor signal to the vehiclespeed sensor signal. The comparison of signals tells the computer if the car is beingdriven on a rough road. If this is so, the computer shuts down the engine misfiremonitoring system. If the engine control system does not receive a signal from thewheel speed sensors, it will illuminate the check engine light. Trouble code P1502 Short or open wheel speed sensor circuit. You can check the circuit with a digital volt-ohmmeter. Resistance should read about 1.4k ohms
