TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- More than 500 foster children from around the state were adopted in November for National Adoption Month.
Parents who adopt foster kids receive a monthly adoption subsidy for the family, health benefits for the child, and free college tuition.
Roughly 750 foster children are still waiting for a family. The children most in need of homes are teens, sibling groups and children with special needs.
A newly redesigned website at www.adoptflorida.org highlights children and sibling groups in foster care each day of the month with photos and videos.
Last year, 3,250 children were adopted from Florida's foster care system.

U.S. Senate candidates Angus King and Cynthia Dill have made separate promises to disability rights advocates while speaking to about 100 people in Augusta.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ King, the independent former Maine governor, said Thursday that he'll appoint a disabilities advisory council to advise him on federal issues if he's elected to retiring Sen. Olympia Snowe's seat.
Dill, a Democratic state senator, promised to support federal legislation seeking at least minimum wages for disabled workers. Dill also emphasized her background as a civil rights lawyer who has successfully defended disabled clients.
King pointed to his role as governor in the closing of the Pineland Center, Maine's former home for the mentally disabled.
Republican candidate Charlie Summers didn't attend Thursday's forum, which was sponsored by the Disability Rights Center.

House Baratheon of King's Landing
this wiki
King of the Andals and the First Men
Protector of the Realm
- "The King Joffrey Baratheon is neither a true king, nor a true Baratheon"
- ―Robb Stark
House Baratheon of King's Landing is a cadet branch of the original House Baratheon of Storm's End and the royal house of Westeros since the defeat of and exile of the Targaryen dynasty following Robert's Rebellion.[1]
Their seat is the Red Keep in the city of King's Landing and their domains are the lands ruled directly by the Iron Throne, the Crownlands.
After Joffrey succeeded Robert as king, he changed the heraldry of his House from a crowned stag, to a crowned stag and a lion rampant, giving equal standing to his mother's family, House Lannister. Metaphorically revealing Joffrey's "true colors", this reflects how he was never particularly close to Robert, while he was doted on and indulged by Cersei, so he always thought of himself more as a Lannister.
Soon after Joffrey took the throne, Stannis Baratheon sent letters across all of Westeros, revealing that none of Cersei's children, including Joffrey, were Robert's children. Rather, they were all bastards of incest fathered by Cersei's own twin brother Jaime. Stannis discovered this in a letter sent to him by Eddard Stark just before he was executed on Joffrey's orders. Stannis therefore declared himself Robert's lawful successor as king, being his oldest brother.
Robert's youngest brother Renly Baratheon had already declared his claim to the throne as soon as Robert died, based solely on the fact that Joffrey was an insane monster unsuitable to rule, and Cersei Lannister's puppet. The rumors that Joffrey was a bastard of incest only served to strengthen Renly's claim.
While the two surviving Baratheon brothers bickered between themseves over which of the two of them had the better claim to the throne, virtually all of the lords from the Stormlands who were sworn to House Baratheon abandoned Joffrey to declare for either Renly or Stannis (mostly Renly, with a few declaring for Stannis). Other than a few court retainers in King's Landing, which were always more attached to the royal government than the Baratheons and Stormlands, "House Baratheon of King's Landing" contained essentially no links with the historical "House Baratheon" except for the name.
- King {Robert Baratheon}, called "the Usurper" by Targaryen loyalists, the head of the family and the King before his death.
- His wife, Queen Regent Cersei, of House Lannister.
- Their eldest son and Robert's heir, Joffrey Baratheon, now the King of the Andals and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm, dubbed the King on the Iron Throne.
- Their daughter, Princess Myrcella Baratheon, second in line to the throne. Currently in Dorne as a ward of House Martell, as part of her betrothal to Trystane Martell.
- Their youngest son, Prince Tommen Baratheon, Joffrey's heir.
- His wife, Queen Regent Cersei, of House Lannister.
Note: Joffrey, Myrcella, and Tommen are legally held to be the children of King Robert Baratheon, but they are actually bastards born of incest between Queen Cersei and her twin brother, Ser Jaime Lannister. This information is not publicly known in Seven Kingdoms except as a rumor and only a few know it to be true.
This makes House Baratheon of King's Landing a nigh-cadet branch of House Lannister. Of course, given that bastard children (particularly unacknowledged bastards) cannot inherit, it is unlikely that it will ever be considered an "official" cadet branch of House Lannister.

Sworn to House Baratheon of King's Landing

In the books
Houses sworn to House Baratheon of King's Landing in the books include:
- House Blount
- House Chelsted
- House Hayford
- House Hogg of Hogs Sow
- House Massey of Stonedance
- House Stokeworth of Stokeworth
- House Thorne
In the books, it is Stannis Baratheon who first begins to suspect that Robert Baratheon has no true born heirs, but he knew that Robert wouldn't listen to anything he had to say. So he enlisted Jon Arryn's help in his investigations, because Robert listened to Jon. Eddard Stark found out that they travelled together when visiting Gendry at the blacksmith and baby Barra at the brothel, while he was trying to trace Jon Arryn's footsteps. Jon Arryn found the proof in the book of lineages that he borrowed from Grand Maester Pycelle. He died saying "the seed is strong", i.e. black hair is a dominant trait over blonde hair. When Jon Arryn dies suddenly and mysteriously, Stannis leaves King's Landing for Dragonstone. Stannis talks about this to Renly, while negotiating with him at Storm's End. The letter Eddard Stark writes to Stannis saying he is Robert's heir and heir to the Iron Throne never reaches Stannis, and it is used by Cersei as proof of Lord Eddard's treason. While in the Red Keep's dungeon, Ned laments that the truth about Cersei's children was written right on their faces: all three are blonde and look nothing like Robert, but all of Robert's bastard children strongly resemble him.

CHICAGO — Emergency rooms, the only choice for patients who can't find care elsewhere, might grow even more crowded with longer wait times under the nation's new health law.
That might come as a surprise to those who thought getting 32 million more people covered by health insurance would ease ER crowding. It would seem these patients would be able to get routine health care by visiting a doctor's office, as most of the insured do.
But it's not that simple. Consider:
• There's already a shortage of front-line family physicians in some places, and experts think that will get worse.
• People without insurance aren't the ones filling up the nation's emergency rooms. Far from it. The uninsured are no more likely to use ERs than people with private insurance, perhaps because they're wary of huge bills.
• The biggest users of emergency rooms by far are Medicaid recipients. And the new health insurance law will increase their ranks by about 16 million. Medicaid is the state and federal program for low-income families and the disabled. Many family doctors limit the number of Medicaid patients they take because of low government reimbursements.
• ERs already are crowded, and hospitals are just now finding solutions.
Rand Corp. researcher Dr. Arthur Kellermann predicts this from the new law: "More people will have coverage and will be less afraid to go to the emergency department if they're sick or hurt and have nowhere else to go. . . . We just don't have other places in the system for these folks to go."
Kellermann and other experts point to Massachusetts, the model for the federal health overhaul, where a 2006 law requires insurance for almost everyone.
Reports from the state find ER visits continuing to rise since the law passed — contrary to hopes of its backers, who reasoned that expanding coverage would give many people access to doctor's offices.
"Just because we've insured people doesn't mean they now have access," said Dr. Elijah Berg, a Boston-area ER doctor. "They're coming to the emergency department because they don't have access to alternatives."
Crowding and long waits have plagued U.S. emergency departments for years. A 2009 report by the Government Accountability Office, Congress' investigative arm, found ER patients who should have been seen immediately waited nearly a half-hour.
10% Decline in emergency departments nationwide between 1991 and 2008, according to the American Hospital Association's annual survey
7% Increase in emergency- room visits between 2005 and 2007 in Massachusetts, where a 2006 law requires insurance for almost everyone

Fresh 105 FM is an old school hip-hop/electro radio station in the game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, which is hosted by Luke Campbell. According to him, Fresh FM is the number one radio station in Vice City.
By 1986 this radio station is replaced by Fever 105, due to the station being purchased. Luke mentions on the radio that he will never sell the station, but since Fever 105 is the same frequency as Fresh FM, it appears that Luke does end up selling the station sometime before the events of Vice City. In 1986, a very similar radio station is operating, named Wildstyle. Fresh FM broadcasts live from a strip club and is technically a pirate radio station, much like Wildstyle. Luke is also the most vulgar DJ to date, not hesitating to use expletives.

Dear Kalamazoo:
Ever since leaving your fine city and your excellent Reading Together program events, my wife and I have been talking about you. To each other. To bookstores. To other writers. We hold you up as a model to other all-city read programs. No question Kalamazoo does it right.
It's a rare and wonderful thing for an author to share his work with such a cross-section of a community as I did with Kalamazoo. To be able to meet with readers is always grand, but to be welcomed as a friend by so many, across such different platforms was an incredible experience. I know you appreciate the amazing work of your librarians and the Reading Together committee that made it all possible because you were so warm and responsive. We never ran out of things to talk about! I was only disappointed to not be able to attend ALL the events.
I was especially touched by the artwork done by the high school students and showcased in your spectacular library. I will be posting pictures of some of that work. As an artist, to inspire other artists is a dream come true. It also meant so much to me to have the support of my friend (and your own literary heroine) Bonnie Jo Campbell. A special thanks to you for inviting her to be involved with your program. That shows a great literary commitment all the way through your community.
I was especially heartened by the fact that you forged a bond with Kankakee, IL. I think the the future is being written by towns like Kankakee and Kalamazoo and I am so honored that my novel could play a part.
On a personal note, I just have to say that your librarians and staff people were spectacular. I enjoyed every minute of your company. I deeply appreciated your generosity and I have to say doing an event in front of a few hundred kindergartners was probably the coolest tour experience of the last year!
Thank you to Karen Santamaria and everyone on the Reading Together committee. Thank you for selecting my novel Into the Beautiful North, thank you for reading, and most of all, thank you for your friendship and support. Hope to see you again soon!
Loyally, Luis Alberto Urrea
P.S. Oh yeah, best donuts we ever had, too!

When I came to Kalamazoo twelve years ago, I knew it was a special place. We are lucky to have so many arts organizations, cultural events, and an award-winning public library that sponsors Reading Together! We are even luckier that this year's Reading Together author, Luis Urrea, visits Kalamazoo next week.
Urrea will speak on Tuesday, March 6, at 7 pm in the Kalamazoo Central High School Auditorium. This is a free event, and all are invited to hear Urrea speak about Into the Beautiful North, writing, and being "dual culture." Come listen to the music of local Tex-Mex band Los Bandits de Michigan and even have a book signed by the author!
You will also have a chance to meet Urrea on Wednesday, March 7 at noon in Kalamazoo College's Light Fine Arts Building Recital Hall. Urrea will be working with a Kalamazoo College class, talking about the craft of writing, and exploring issues of crossing borders. He will also address the recent "Librotraficante" movement and the banning of his books from the Tucson, Arizona Unified School District. This event is free, open to the public, and snacks will be provided after the class.
Urrea's visit is timely. With the controversy over prohibiting ethnic studies in Arizona (HB 2281), Urrea can give us a "banned author's" perspective on the issue. Don't miss this rare opportunity to interact with the author, ask questions, and explore border crossings of your own.

One of the things that amazes me about Into the Beautiful North, that I really only paid a lot of attention to on my third reading of the book, is the wonderful, philosophical one-liners that are sprinkled throughout the book. They're so easy to miss, so I thought I would note a few of them here, just in case others missed them. The page number that follows is the page number in the paperback version of the book.
Here they come:
There are many more, but these particularly struck me because of the universality of them all. The last two, in particular, I hope people can say more readily about Kalamazoo following our Reading Together experience this year.
Another thing I found in the "joining unlike groups of people together" is the mention that Arnold Davis, border patrol, wants to escape, as does Matt, the former missionary. We are all so much more alike than different! If you talk with someone not like you who has read the book, you'll probably discover the same thing—we're all so much alike and our differences are very interesting.
~ Sherry Ransford-Ramsdell, Reading Together Steering Committee
Reading about an author or artist is one sure way to gain insight into that person's creative process, but hearing authors tell about their work in their own words often seems to add a new dimension to our understanding. With that in mind I headed out for a dog hike yesterday and quickly grabbed a couple of podcasts to listen to along the way. I was interested to learn more about Reading Together author Luis Alberto Urrea; here's some of what I what I found.
One standout was an interesting interview with Urrea from January 2011 that was posted by the National Endowment for the Arts on its blog called "Art Works." Interestingly, Urrea talks about getting to know the town of Kankakee, Illinois, (important in Into the Beautiful North) and his discovery of the public library there.
According to Urrea, the Kankakee Public Library had become the cultural centerpiece of a citywide revitalization project. "They made the library a highly computerized, safe open-late-at-night haven for kids go to, free of gang violence," says Urrea. "It was an amazing turnaround of a town who figured it out on their own." (The story, it seems, is not at all unlike the recent revitalization of downtown Kalamazoo, where our own world class library is a community centerpiece.) "This new public library has become the cultural hub of the city," Urrea later wrote in the New York Times, "crucial to its downtown revitalization."
It's an interesting story; give it a listen. You can download a copy for yourself and/or read a transcript on the Art Works blog.
Author Luis Alberto Urrea talks about the inspiration for and writing of his novel Into the Beautiful North, which takes place from Sinaloa, Mexico, all the way up north to Kankakee, Illinois. [25:54] (Art Works.)
Next time, I'll share more findings about Into the Beautiful North; including a recent podcast recorded last November that includes some discussion with Urrea about his upcoming visit to Kalamazoo on March 6th. Stay tuned.
I just finished reading Queen of America, Urrea's new book and the sequel to The Hummingbird's Daughter which Eleanore wrote about last week.
I didn't read them in order. Actually I'm still on the waiting list for Hummingbird's Daughter, but I certainly understood and appreciated Queen of America. It didn't feel as if I was starting in the middle of a story.
Queen of America continues the story of Teresita Urrea, the "Saint of Cabora" when she is forced to flee with her father from Mexico to Arizona. Even there she is claimed as the spiritual leader of the Mexican Revolution and pilgrims and assassins follow her to America. She then leaves the southwest for a journey across the country: New York, San Francisco, St Louis, among other cities. Along the way, she must decide if a saint can fall in love.
I knew these two books were based on Urrea's family history, his great aunt, I believe, but I didn't know the details. After reading it, I went to his website to understand the family history that is the basis for the story. In retrospect, I wish I had understood just how much of this account was true before reading the book.
I've now read several of Urrea's books. They are different from each other in many ways, but all are well-written and compelling. I'm looking forward to his visit in March.
"Suddenly there was no work. All the shrimp were shipped north, tortillas became too expensive to eat, and people started to go hungry. We told you change was bad, the old-timers croaked.
Nobody had heard of the term immigration. Migration, to them, was when the tuna and the whales cruised up the coast, or when Guacamaya parrots flew up from the south. Traditionalists voted to revoke electricity, but it was far too late for that. No woman in town would give up her refrigerator, her electric fan, or her electric iron. So the men started to go to el norte. Nobody knew what to say. Nobody knew what to do. The modern era had somehow passed Tres Camarones by, but this new storm had found a way to siphon its men away. out of their beds and into the next century, into a land far away." —Into the Beautiful North
This passage from the opening pages of Luis Urrea's Into the Beautiful North paints a picture of a Mexican village not unlike one we might read about in today's news. And for the fictitious Tres Camarones, there is the added presence of drug bandits who are threatening to take over the village with corruption, violence and greed; also sadly true to life. This is the setting from which Nayeli, a 19-year old girl, born and raised in Tres Camarones, sets out in search of her father and other men who will come back home to repopulate and defend their village.
And for the next three months, this will become our story as well.
A dedicated group of volunteers has helped Kalamazoo Public Library plan an exciting and meaningful lineup of Reading Together events that center on three far-reaching themes: The Book as Literature, The Culture of Mexico, and Immigration. After reading the book, we believe participating in these programs will provide several ways to process and reflect.
Today we bring you the enhanced Reading Together website, complete with a full calendar of events, additional resources, and more information about those who have contributed to this planning process. We welcome your reactions and your feedback, and we invite you to come back often.
The community steering committee for Reading Together 2012 has been hard at work planning a variety of programs and events that focus on three central themes of this year's selected title, Into the Beautiful North. Those themes are:
We are confident that the programs being planned will educate, enlighten, and enhance our understanding of issues that are relevant to the Kalamazoo community at large. We look forward to meaningful conversations made possible by our common experience of reading Urrea's touching story, told with both humor and compassion.
While the reading period unofficially begins in December, the rush on available copies of the book has already begun. More copies will soon go into circulation and you can always place a hold if a copy is not readily available. We also have audiobook and Spanish versions. And if you prefer a digital version (ebook or digital audio), available copies can be found when you log in with your library card number to the Digital Catalog and Download Center from the Library's website then enter the title into the Digital Media Search box on the right side of the screen.
Happy reading and see you at the Reading Together events in March!
We are thrilled to announce the 2012 Reading Together title, Into the Beautiful North by Luis Alberto Urrea. Originally published in 2009 and now available in paperback, audiobook, ebook, and Spanish language editions, we expect this work of fiction--about the quest of a young Mexican girl to bring a sense of security back to her small village threatened by the increasing presence of drug bandits—will appeal to Reading Together "regulars" as well as new readers who will be inspired by the story, the characters, the humor and the journey. It is beautifully written.
We are also excited to tell you that Urrea will be coming to Kalamazoo on March 6, 2012. We have found him to be wonderfully engaging and personable, and we believe his appearance will kick off Reading Together 2012 in a most memorable way. But don't take it from me. Let Luis speak for himself.
...will be revealed very soon! We are excited to share with you the title that has been selected for Reading Together 2012. But you'll have to wait just a little longer. The announcement will be made on Thursday, September 22, so be sure to check back if you want to be one of the first to know! We can tell you this: This year's book is a work of fiction and the author will be coming to Kalamazoo in March, 2012.

BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) – Police have made an arrest in an Ohio hit-and-run crash that killed a U.S. Marine from Virginia.
Police arrested 26-year-old Holly Fowler of Urbana on Saturday night on felony charges of failure to stop after an accident and tampering with evidence.
It's unclear whether Fowler has an attorney. She's being held in Logan County jail.
The Dayton Daily News reports that police say Fowler admitted responsibility for hitting 34-year-old Monica Plank of Stafford, Va., on Feb. 16 as she walked from a restaurant in Bellefontaine.
Police say damage on Fowler's car is consistent with evidence at the scene.
A funeral was held Saturday in West Liberty for Plank, who was married to a fellow Marine gunnery sergeant. They were in Bellefontaine to visit family.

"Lure of Alaska" Travelogue
January 15, 2013
Alaska still issues a siren call. For some this call is the lure of money, and for others, it's the landscapes and large seemingly untouched pockets of nature.
On Friday, January 25, KDCR presents "Lure of Alaska" as part of the Travel and Adventure Film Series. The journey begins at 7:30 p.m. in the B.J. Haan Auditorium. Tickets can be purchased at the door at $5 for adults and $3.50 for students.
Dale Johnson will take viewers to one of the few places on earth where human influence has not changed the natural habitat. A land of wildlife, vibrant cities, and majestic glaciers, Alaska has maintained an atmosphere of enchantment and delight.
Johnson has filmed for the Johnson Space Center in Houston and NASA during the "Skylab" era. Following that, he moved to Alaska and formed Trailwood Films, his own production company that has won several awards. His interest in wildlife and his photographic ability have been profiled in National Wildlife Magazine. Johnson was inducted into the Travelogue Hall of Fame and awarded Best of Show at the 2008 Travel Film Convention.

Boston, MA (Sports Network) - Goals from Bryan Bickell and Dave Bolland just
17 seconds apart in the final two minutes of the third period gave the Chicago
Blackhawks the Stanley Cup championship with a thrilling 3-2 win over the
Boston Bruins in Game 6 at TD Garden.
Boston was leading 2-1, and after killing off a penalty was just 3:39 away
from forcing a Game 7.
Chicago pulled goaltender Corey Crawford from the net inside of 90 seconds and
was able to get the puck deep into the Boston end.
Controlling play along the left side, Jonathan Toews was able to feed a short
pass from the left of the net to the front where Bickell jammed it in to tie
the game with 1:16 to play.
Moments later, a shot from the left point by Johnny Oduya was tipped off the
left post by Michael Frolik. Bolland, though, was there to jam the puck in
with just 58.3 seconds showing.
A stunned Boston team was unable to get any more chances on net before time
expired and the Blackhawks took home their second championship in the past
four years.
Chicago's Patrick Kane was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as the playoff MVP
and is the fourth American to capture the honor.

Flat Vernacular
Posted by Gina | Filed under FLOR Events
Payton and Brian have merged their aesthetic viewpoints with their fine art and design expertise to create, Flat Vernacular, a company that, for now, creates surface treatments for walls and in the future, who knows? I can certainly envision their patterns translating to textiles or product design and their ideas into progressive restaurant and retail interiors. Presently, we are treated with a collection of wallpaper designs that range from colorful, fashion forward floral to illustrative derby cars that from a distance have a deceptive twist.
Below is another example of how they've created designs that from a distance provide a very traditional look and feel while closer inspection reveals their whimsical, playful approach to their work.
Payton and Brian have designed their company with their client in mind, taking great care and time with every project that comes their way. They aim to remain faithful to the tradition and character of wallpaper while taking a more contemporary twist with the designs themselves. Flat Vernacular infuses color, design and their playful spirit into all of their papers.
To get a better sense of the hand-drawn, hand-printed aspects of their work, watch this video by Lilian Haidar. There are a few time lapse series showing Brian and Payton working together and it is immediately clear what an amazing partnership they have.
Please join us on August 30th to meet Payton and Brian in person and learn more about their work. RSVP here.

How in the he** did you stumble across that article??
I'm going to ask around and see if I can find some more info but I remember in (I think) 1981 we were playing Kansas and it was quite a while before game time and the KU head coach was sitting in the north bleachers all by himself. I went over and talked to him and he told me there was a bomb threat called in and the locker room had been evacuated. His name was Don Fambrough (not sure of the spelling) but he was very friendly. Maybe someone else here remembers that and can give more information.

I don't understand, why would it be a sick sense of hummer 4 year ago but not 24 years ago? Have things really changed that much since I was born, sure doesn't seem like it to me. I agree that in some ways we are trying to hard to protect ourselves from everything, but that is still a sick sense of hummer if it was 4 years ago or 40 years ago it doesn't matter. If they had created a bomb and placed it out in the middle of a corn field just to watch it blow up it would be one thing, but to place it in the stands during a football game where you have a high chance of hurting someone if it goes off. Believe me, I've blow plenty of things up in my day, but what they did was wrong.

Please take no offense but if you had loved ones in the stands I don't believe you would be so anal.

If my wife and 3 year old daughter were in the stands, along with 15 other friends and family, I belive if it was 1986 or now I would be a little disturbed.
I was -1. Those were the good ole days, back when bomb pranks were still funny.
I was only a toddler at the time, so I didn't know.

5 Hold-Rated Dividend Stocks
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Hold."
IcahnDividend Yield: 5.90% Icahn (NASDAQ: IEP) shares currently have a dividend yield of 5.90%. Icahn Enterprises L.P. engages in the investment, automotive, gaming, railcar, food packaging, metals, real estate, and home fashion businesses in the United States and internationally. Its Investment segment provides investment advisory, and administrative and back office services. The company has a P/E ratio of 17.94. The average volume for Icahn has been 187,100 shares per day over the past 30 days. Icahn has a market cap of $7.3 billion and is part of the real estate industry. Shares are up 50.5% year to date as of the close of trading on Monday. TheStreet Ratings rates Icahn as a hold. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its robust revenue growth, attractive valuation levels and solid stock price performance. However, as a counter to these strengths, we also find weaknesses including generally higher debt management risk, weak operating cash flow and disappointing return on equity. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- IEP's very impressive revenue growth greatly exceeded the industry average of 0.7%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues leaped by 89.5%. Growth in the company's revenue appears to have helped boost the earnings per share.
- Powered by its strong earnings growth of 273.79% and other important driving factors, this stock has surged by 33.62% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the stock's future course, our hold rating indicates that we do not recommend additional investment in this stock despite its gains in the past year.
- ICAHN ENTERPRISES LP reported significant earnings per share improvement in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has demonstrated a pattern of positive earnings per share growth over the past year. During the past fiscal year, ICAHN ENTERPRISES LP increased its bottom line by earning $8.07 versus $2.14 in the prior year.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly decreased to -$39.00 million or 108.12% when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, when comparing to the industry average, the firm's growth rate is much lower.
- Currently the debt-to-equity ratio of 1.83 is quite high overall and when compared to the industry average, suggesting that the current management of debt levels should be re-evaluated.

- Abstract
- Italian-born journalist and migrant rights campaigner Ignazio Salemi temporarily migrated to Australia to help co-ordinate the activities of the Australian branch of the Italian Federation of Migrant Workers and their Families (FILEF) and his application for permanent permit to stay in Australia was rejected by the Government, causing Salemi to be become a prohibited immigrant. Salemi's deportation resulted in the new breed of young FILEF activists leaving the organization because they found it difficult to find a place in FILEF without Salemi.

We know money talks. Do you think it can talk you into choosing healthier portions, passing on dessert, and exercising more? Can money, gained or lost, be a motivator when it comes to weight loss?
A recent weight loss study at the Mayo Clinic asked employees to volunteer for such a test. The participants in the study were divided into groups — those who would have a financial incentive and those who would not. The groups started the first 10 weeks by spending several days a week meeting with a dietitian and an exercise specialist. Some groups also had a wellness (lifestyle) coach. Educational materials came from "The Mayo Clinic Diet" book and the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid.
Those in the financial incentive group had the opportunity to either receive or pay $20 a month if they met or failed to meet a weight loss goal of 4 pounds each month. Additionally, everyone was eligible for a lottery prize at the end, regardless of whether they met their weight loss goal or not. The study was 12 months, the longest of this type of study to date.
The idea of a including rewards is not new to the world of weight loss. However, a penalty, such as having to hand over $20, ups the stakes. Whether as a reward or a penalty, money appears to be a decent motivator as 62 percent of the participants in the incentive group completed the study. Fewer people (26 percent) completed the study in the group that wasn't given financial incentives. Average weight loss for the financially motivated was 9.1 pounds, while the other group lost an average of 2.6 pounds.
An average weight loss of 9 pounds after one year might not sound like much, but consider that most Americans gain weight every year. Sticking to lifestyle changes is a challenge and this group did it for a year.
So it appears that money may indeed be a motivator for some. What motivates you? Have you lost weight and kept it off? How do you hold yourself accountable?

9 pounds lost after 12 months of dieting?
If the experiment is such a failure, and they say there was high motivation and high adherence, the only conclusion we can extract is that the method is useless.
But apparently those scientists can't see they are wrong.

BIG with West 8, Fentress, JPA propose Miami Beach Square
Miami Beach is a unique city in so many ways. It is one of the youngest cities in America – and perhaps right now one of the most vibrant and dynamic.

TITUSVILLE, Fla. - Titusville detectives plan to interview the lone survivor of a deadly traffic crash that killed a person of interest in a gruesome slaying that left a 41-year-old woman dead.
The traffic death happened hours after Titusville police issued an alert for a man now identified as 21-year-old Christian Joseph Murphy who was believed to be traveling in a gold Nissan taken from a home in the 200 block of Avilez Boulevard where remains tentatively identified as Michelle Renee Chappell were found.
"We know that they were not strangers to each other they did know each other," said Titusville police Sgt. Tom House. "How they knew each other or what capacity they knew each other we're not ready to discuss at this time."
According to authorities, the victim was dismembered and beheaded, with her remains placed in containers, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported.
Chappell, a one-time waitress with a history of domestic violence-related charges, and Murphy -- who is the person of interest -- knew each other and the slaying was not a random act, police said. Detectives talked with Chappell's relatives on Monday, but say positive identification will be made by the Brevard County Medical Examiner's Office.
"Really sweet girl and she had the prettiest voice," said neighbor Melissa Bennae. "I'm just really upset."
Before the remains were collected and removed from the home, officers learned that Murphy was seen leaving the Titusville neighborhood earlier in the day. About 9:30 p.m. Sunday, Camden County Georgia Sheriff's Department deputies spotted the Nissan heading northbound on Interstate 95 and attempted to pull the vehicle over for a traffic stop.
"We had two deputies sitting out looking for the vehicle," said Camden County Deputy William Terrell.
The driver, possibly a woman, then led deputies on a chase on Interstate 95.
"It was a brief pursuit. At times, it was a high-speed pursuit," Terrell said.
"The driver came up on some traffic, went to the right and appeared to over-correct. The (Nissan) went into the median, into the trees. It was dark. (The person of interest) was deceased at the scene," Terrell said.
A second person, the female driver, was taken into custody. The driver could face charges in Florida based on her connection to the crime.
The woman's death was reported Sunday afternoon to Titusville police and is the fourth reported homicide of the year in Brevard County. An autopsy was set to take place Monday to help determine how Chappell was killed and what was used in the dismemberment.
Anyone with information in the case is asked to call Crimeline at 800-423-TIPS.

Data about Recruitment
DocumentsDate added
This article questions what factors are associated with joining the military after high school rather than attending college, getting a job, or doing some other activity. Three areas of influence are highlighted: educational goals, the presence of the military in ones community, and race and socioeconomic status.
Resource Type: Article
Source: Radical Math
After the worst recession since the Great Depression, unemployment in the United States remains high. Army recruiters have credited the weak economy with a rise in recruitment numbers for years. Not only did the Army meet its recruitment goals for Fiscal Year 2012, in its analysis of FY2010 accessions to the U.S. Army, National Priorities Project (NPP) finds great gains in terms of recruit quality, particularly with respect to the educational attainment of recruits.
Tables Include:
- Military Recruitment Count by County 2010
- Military Recruitment - Demographics by Year
- Military Recruitment - Proportion of Tier 1 Recruits by State
- Military Recruitment - Proportion of Test Score Categories I-IIIA and IV by State
- Military Recruitment - Proportion of High Quality Recruits
- Military Recruitment - Regional Recruitment Rates
- Military Recruitment - State Recruitment Rates
- Military Recruitment - Percentage Metro/Non Metro
- Recruit Zip Code Income
Ann Scott Tyson, a respected military reporter just back from Iraq, wrote in a front-page story Nov. 4 that "newly released Pentagon demographic data show that the military is leaning heavily for recruits on economically depressed rural areas where youths' need for jobs may outweigh the risks of going to war."
Resource Type: Article
Source: Washington Post
This paper reports the results of summary research into the demographic composition of two groups of recruits: those who enlisted between October 1998 and September 1999 and those who enlisted between January 2003 and September 2003. These groups are referred to as the 1999 and 2003 recruit cohorts, respectively. Nationwide Census data for citizens ages 18?24 were used as a baseline for comparison. Comparisons of these three different groups highlight the differences not only between the general population and military volunteers, but also between recruits who volunteered for the military before 9/11 and those who volunteered after 9/11. - More Information

If you were one of the millions tuning in for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on Tuesday night, you're no stranger to those almost-impossible-to-fathom bodies of theirs. So how do you get a physique like that? For starters, genetics. But it also comes down to the workout regimen.
High-profile Angels like Adriana Lima and Doutzen Kroes get runway-ready with fitness expert Michael Olajide Jr. And just to see how tough it is to look like that, some guys over at TIME decided to put those sweat sessions to the test. And it's absolutely hilarious.

The End -- Elementary
[SIZE="4"][B]THE END-[/B] [I]Elementary[/I][/SIZE] [SIZE="4"](Relapse Records)[/SIZE]
Nobody's perfect, but when it comes to releasing amazing music on a consistent basis, Relapse Records are just about the closest it gets. Due to this album being released through Relapse I decided to give it a shot without ever having heard much from the band before, and unfortunately I came out feeling pretty disappointed. This is THE END's second record for the label, though I never got around to checking out the first one aside from a couple songs on a sampler, and as the album's title [I]Elementary[/I] unfortunately foreshadows, this is a pretty elementary release, blending the usual styles to form what amounts to what has been come to be known as 'mathcore', one of the more ridiculous terms used to describe any rock/metal sub-genre. These Canadians are all clearly more than technically proficient musicians, a given, but the style just isn't what I particularly favor. I don't think this is a poorly executed album though, so I'm not going to completely slander it; fans of the style ought to be well-pleased with the melding of furious technical death metal riffing with the raw emotional intensity of modern hardcore and the subtlety of atmospheric post rock. All these elements are present, and the band knows how to make them function cohesively together. The vocals range from atrocious metalcore barks that specifically recall early TRIVIUM to passable emo-tinged croons. The drumming lends to the music an interesting industrial/machine-like edge a lot of the time with the repeated use of very deliberate beats, while the production has a predictably modern sound to it. Not a poorly done album by any means, but probably just not quite my style enough for me to enjoy it.
Some of the songs have good parts to them but just aren't consistently good all the way through; note "Animals", which starts with some great drumming and brutal tech-death riffing, then goes lame metalcore, before going into a cool tremolo guitar part. The only songs that I think are great all the way through are the incredibly memorable "The Never Aftermath" (a lyrical highlight for sure) and closing number "And Always...", the latter being the most ambitious tune on the album, an entirely acoustic 9-minute song with all clean singing and even a spot of saxophone included. Aside from these two songs the rest doesn't do anything for me, except make me cringe on occasion due mostly to the vocals.
This is an album that I can see a lot of people would enjoy, but for me it doesn't cut it.
For the record, this is the first review of this album I've ever read without the word "Tool-esque".

Hundreds of fans thronged Mbalamwezi Beach Club in Dar es Salaam on Saturday to take part in the Str8Muzik beach party where a special appearance of the international music icon, Elephant Man thrilled.
The surprise dancehall reggae singer also globally known as the Energy God, took onto stage a few minutes after 10 pm and turned up the energy for hours, sending the crowd at the expansive dance area into fits of smiles, varying dance styles and ululations.
With a boisterous demeanour, quick chatting lyricism and unforgettable stage presence, he shot onto stage, calling on Dar es Salaam to respond to true versatile entertainer who makes music for the world.
"Africa is beautiful. Tanzania is great, wonderful African ladies", he kept shouting.
The muscled entertainer, clad in white attired completed with a shinny black tight T-shirt and heavy chain, sang ranges of songs in different genres including sweet reggae, dance reggae and a mix of slow sweet reggae.
He also paid tribute to Buju Banton who is serving a jail term in Jamaica. He sang 'We are the World' in his characteristic sweet reggae style which ended his one and a half hour show.
At the strategically set up international stage by the ocean, with the DJ cabin over 40 metres away, revellers first witnessed sporting events such as boat rides, beach football, kiting, pool, dhow rides, volleyball and water bullet shooting as the entire environment seemed like a Dar es Salaam version of Miami when day light melted away.
In hyped up beach activities from mid morning to the afternoon, lined up to perform ranged from Tanzanian to Kenyan artistes who curtain raised before the characteristic aggressive performer Man shot himself to stage.
Earlier performers, who also brought their East African fresh flavour to the night, included winners of Stre8Muzik Freestyle 2011, who warmed up anticipating revellers to 1980s ,1990s old skool and latest hits that seemed to set the tempo for a fun evening coloured by reggae and Bongo Flava.
Among artistes were Cpwa, Fid Q, P-Unit and 'shy boy' Kenya's Red San. Once the guests were ushered into the beach, they were met by a bevy of beauties, who ostensibly made them feel at home, with Str8Muzik brands and the games which were taking place throughout the day.
"I have enjoyed this. With boat rides which were free here today, I feel this is real lifestyle of Bongo. These have been phenomenal moments", said Alex Mcharo, a reveler at the event.
Similar remarks were echoed by others such as Anastasia Bhoke, a banker in Dar es Salaam, who also took part in the boat rides. "We are celebrating a great day. It is an embodiment of fun, sporting and music," she said.
The beach party was organised by Tanzania Cigarette Company through its.

No thanks. I do not rely on Hollywood for keeping me grounded. History books are a great alternative to Hollywood; you should try those.
The movie is fiction
how a young democracy
The movie is like a documentary.
"The movie focuses on the last four months of Lincoln's life, with nearly all the movie centered in January 1865, with the push for approving of the 13th Amendment (abolishing slavery) by the House of Representatives at the end of that month. The Senate had given its approval the previous year."
History books are a great alternative to Hollywood; you should try those.
If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
its based off doris kearns book fwiw.
I have heard its really good.
Oh, Honest Abe, you motor boating son of a bitch. God Bless America
The movie has several examples of how he used his lawyer skills to get what he wanted. It's why everyone should go see the movie. The politicking was awesome to watch!
The "Lost Cause" and neo-confederate ideology on this board is a joke.

Abbott is the surname of a wizarding family. They were a pure-blood family up until at least the 1930s[1], but recent generations of Abbotts must have married Muggles and/or Muggle-borns, as Hannah Abbott is a half-blood witch.[2] The family's traditional residence was in Godric's Hollow.[3] They are related to the Longbottom family.[4]
Family Members
- Abbott – a wizard whose tombstone is visible in Godric's Hollow
- Giffard Abbott – a wizard whose portrait is hung at Hogwarts Castle
- Mrs. Abbott – Hannah Abbott's mother, who was killed by Death Eaters[5] Graduate Ravenclaw's
- Hannah Longbottom née Abbott – a witch who was in the same year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as Harry Potter; later became landlady of the Leaky Cauldron and married Neville Longbottom[4]
Family Tree
Mrs. Abbott --- Mr. Abbott │ Hannah Abbott --- Neville Longbottom
Abbott is a relatively common surname in English-speaking countries, derived from abbot, the title of the head of a monastery.

Monday December 10, 2012
NEW YORK (AP) -- A person familiar with the decision says the NHL has canceled all games through Dec. 30.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement isn't expected to be made until later Monday afternoon. There had already been 422 regular-season games lost because of the ongoing lockout, and the latest cuts will claim 104 more. The NHL also has canceled the New Year's Day Winter Classic and the All-Star game.
The cancellation of just 16 more days of the season could perhaps signal there is hope of a deal to begin play in early January. Negotiations between the league and the players' association broke off last week, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Sunday that the sides are trying to restart talks this week.

Animal control officers say a Marine shot and killed a neighbor's dog Monday night.
A news release says deputies received the call around 6:20 p.m. that the dog had been shot on Belgrade-Swansboro Road, south of Maysville. Deputies say the dog, which they describe as a retriever, died at the scene.
Animal Control Director Alan Davis says the dog was owned by Geneva Sumner and their investigation shows the animal was shot by a neighbor who is a U.S. Marine.
Davis says there was a report the dog was acting aggressive, but no charges have been brought in the case.
Deputies are being assisted by Onslow County Animal Control.
