About this font family
Swedish designer Karl-Erik Forsberg created the original Berling typeface in 1951. Owned by Verbum in Sweden, Berling was completely redesigned and released in 2004, under the name Berling Nova.
Forsberg (1914–1995) is considered one of Sweden's most masterful graphic designers, and his original Berling has come to be seen as possibly the most definitive Swedish typeface. But a redesign was necessary in order to secure that the spirit of Berling would survive in the digital age. More…

Transportation officials said they won't know until this weekend whether repairs to a bridge that links New Hampshire and Maine will be enough to reopen the Piscataqua River's vital shipping lanes.
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) _ New Hampshire Department of Transportation's operations director, Bill Jannelle, said repairs should be completed sometime Saturday. But he hastened to add that they won't know if the lift mechanism is fully repaired until they try to raise the bridge.
The center span of the 73-year-old Sarah Long bridge got stuck Wednesday during a routine test.
Jannelle said the bridge malfunction is preventing cargo ships from reaching terminals upriver.
He said shipping up and down the river is critically important to New Hampshire's economy.
The Coast Guard said two deep-draft cargo ships are scheduled to arrive this weekend.

Thanks Mark, Nice work!
For a map that we're working on, we needed a symbol for a large river raft that hauls freight. Such rafts floated downstream and were pulled back upstream empty by draft horses on the river bank. As a prototype, we chose the river rafts that used to haul logs downstream on Northern Bavaria's Main River. Such rafts went out of business long ago, but the one depicted above at the Franconian Open Air Museum in Bad Windsheim served as our prototype. In the second thumbnail you can see the raster symbol that we made of the raft. It's available free for personal and commercial use under the Open Game License 1.0a. The raft has a size of 50x15 feet (15 x 4.5m). The scale is 40 pixels ' 1 foot.

Thomas Stubbs
this wiki
- "I'm a politician, I'm a cynic, I'm very needy. I need people to like me. I need people to like me so that they elect me. I need people to elect me so that I feel marginally less bad about myself when I stare into the mirror."
- ―Thomas Stubbs III
Thomas "Tom" Stubbs III is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in The Lost and Damned. He is a Liberty city congressman. Johnny Klebitz works for him.
Role In The Game
Thomas is currently facing allegations surrounding pork barrel spending. He has been criticized by the Liberty City media due to his attempts to get a major tsunami protection plan and an avalanche warning system for the city, which would be unnecessary as Liberty City is nowhere near a mountain and thus needs no avalanche protection, and a tsunami off the east coast of the United States is highly unlikely, thus rendering tsunami protection planning a waste of money.
When Johnny first meets Stubbs in the Jousters Club, he appears completely naked after getting a massage, something that is symbolically linked to the story, since Stubbs' shows himself bare personality-wise at Klebitz in that same scene. In order to get some funds from his family, he orders Johnny Klebitz to kill his uncle, Arthur Stubbs who is the holder of the family funds. Johnny kills Arthur Stubbs at Francis International Airport in Dukes, thus giving Thomas Stubbs the funds.
Johnny later works for Stubbs to free several Alderney State Prisoners, and supporters of Stubbs. Johnny frees them before they are transferred to Alderney State Correctional Facility in south Alderney, and the prisoners escape to sea.
Johnny later does smaller jobs for Stubbs, such as helping a convicted CEO escape the FIB, taking blackmail photos of a politician, and bugging Bryce Dawkins' Infernus with surveillance equipment. He later gives Johnny the number to call and listen in on the car, and would be able to hear Bernie Crane discuss about his relationship with Dawkins, how he paid attention to Luis Fernando Lopez, protagonist of the The Ballad of Gay Tony, and later, would be able to hear Niko Bellic battle the LCPD. (Since the Infernus was given to Niko by Bernie sometime after Johnny bugged the car.)
Stubbs helps The Lost Brotherhood one last time, by informing Johnny of Billy Grey's treachery, and how Grey plans to sell out Klebitz and the rest of The Lost Brotherhood so he can be set free. With this information, the remnants of The Lost Brotherhood attack Alderney State Correctional Facility, and Klebitz personally executes Grey.
After the mission, Stubbs calls Johnny to congratulate him for finally defeating his demons and to offer him a more permanent job as his personal hitman. However, Johnny rejects Stubbs' offer and sardonically wishes him good luck in his corrupt dealings, severing his ties to Stubbs for good.
Mission appearances
- The Lost and Damned
- Politics (Boss)
- Off Route (Boss)
- Stubbs' Dirty Laundry (Voice/Boss)
- Was It Worth It? (Post-mission phone call)
- Get Lost (Boss)
- Thomas Stubbs wears his own shirts with initials "TS3" on front pocket and his initals "TS III" appears on his texts to Johnny.
- Stubbs correctly predicted the fate of Ray Boccino in Get Lost. When Johnny Klebitz considers going after Ray, Stubbs tells him that Ray would be "dead or in jail within a month." This foreshadows Ray being killed by Niko Bellic on the orders of Jimmy Pegorino.
- Stubbs only wears the outfit that is shown in his concept art in Get Lost.
- Thomas Stubbs has the longest answering message for his phone throughout all of GTA IV and its Episodes which is used to support his political campaign.
- Thomas Stubbs has his own Twitter account known as stubbs4liberty which was used to promote the game.
- The suit he wears in his concept art is a different color. His blazer and tie are both blue.
- He is the first male character in the series to show full frontal nudity.

In the 12th century, crusaders in Africa returned to Europe with beauty-glazed eyes, raving about unbelievably giant and gentle animals with curved and glimmering tusks and preposterously long noses; they partially made up for this seeming madness by bringing home novelties of sweet-scented oranges and cloves for their wives.
Nearly a thousand years later, when it seems practically impossible to "get off the grid," there are great swathes of Africa that can still be called virgin wilderness, and much left to be learned from the ways and mores, sights and sounds of this ageless land, where wanderlust so often plants its tattered and brilliant-coloured flag.
Two of Africa's most iconic explorers were Dr. Livingstone and H.M. Stanley. Their classically British meeting in the jungle is iconic—having been immortalized in film and song—and their individual journeys seem crafted from the stuff of fireside tales and swashbuckling children's books. Micato has immortalized the men, too, as their adventuring serves as a blueprint of sorts for two of our most popular journeys, the The Stanley Wing Safari and The Livingstone Wing Safari.
Livingstone's Africa
Livingstone moved to Africa as a missionary, but soon discovered that his passion lay in exploration. He quit his evangelical position and with the help of a very handy friend, the president of the Royal Geographical Society, was appointed to the dreamy-sounding position of Her Majesty's Consul for the East Coast of Africa.
Thus began his beloved but ill-fated explorations. First he went off to open up the River Zambezi for trade, however the river was completely impassable due to churning rapids. He then attempted to navigate the Ruvuma River, but was thwarted yet again, and his crew disappeared quickly, dying or jumping ship. Alone and unsuccessful in the rough country, Livingstone nevertheless refused to throw in the towel, famously declaring "I am prepared to go anywhere, provided it be forward."
And, remarkably, he did go forward, safely extracting himself from the wilderness. The wilderness, however, did not extract itself from him, and Livingstone returned to Africa soon enough. This time he was bound for Zanzibar, to seek the source of the Nile. His luck had not improved, and three months in found him down and out once again, with pneumonia and cholera. His supplies were stolen, and with little hope, friend, or food, he hitched a ride with a caravan of traders as far as Bambara, where he was caught by the wet season. In exchange for desperately needed food, Livingstone agreed to eat his meals in a roped off open enclosure for the entertainment of the natives.
He took it all in stride, and his pains and pangs contributed greatly to western science and cartography—he "discovered" Lake Ngami, Lake Malawi, Lake Bangweulu and Victoria Falls, and his many geographical observations enabled large heretofore unknown regions of Africa to be mapped. For his trouble, he was awarded the gold medal of the Royal Geographical Society of London and was made a Fellow of the society, but his wandering heart couldn't rest, and soon he was back in Africa and, naturally, back in trouble. He lost contact with the world for six years, and was presumed dead.
The Famous Meeting
Enter H.M. Stanley, a decidedly shiftier character. Born John Rowlands in Wales, Stanley moved to the U.S. at 18. Searching for a new life, he found a new name, adopting that of wealthy trader Henry Hope Stanley, whom he worked for, befriended and idolized.
Stanley served reluctantly in the Civil War, fighting first for the Confederate army, which he deserted, then for the Union navy, which he also deserted. Clearly not cut out for the military, Stanley took up journalism, to much greater success.
And thus Stanley embarked on a mission that quickly began to fall into shambles, mirroring Livingstone's own disasters—Stanley's horse was bitten by a Tsetse fly and died within days, the members of his entourage either deserted or died—but in the end he was victorious. He found Livingstone.
The moment is enshrined in our cultural consciousness as a pure representation of the famous British calm under fire. After a harrowing journey, accompanied by a skeleton crew of sickly porters, Stanley came across a sole white man in a village on the shores of Lake Tanganyika. He approached the man and allegedly said, "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?"
This was most likely Livingstone's first encounter with a fellow countryman in six years, and these were years in which he had battled illness and even believed himself to be on the brink of death. Upon meeting Stanley, Livingstone reportedly smiled and responded "Yes, and I feel thankful that I am here to welcome you."
It's the very picture of a polite introduction at a high society social gathering, and the dissonance of this highly civilized interaction within the highly wild surroundings captured minds and hearts: a triumph of manners over circumstances that is unequalled. The same still holds true in some of our favorite lodges and camps. Come join us in Africa and see for yourself—the grandeur of the days of Stanley and Livingstone lives on.

London's Finest
The elegant women above was one of the first stylish ladies I spotted in London. I saw her get into a taxi cab and I quickly ran up to the window and asked if she would roll it down so I could take a photo of her. I complimented her turban and matching shirt and pants and she replied, " I am on my way to chemo darling, a friend made this hat for me." As she drove off I knew that the rest of my experiences in Europe would be just grand.

This entry contained so many things:
A very stylish woman in London getting in to a taxi, being recognized by a New Yorker with enough hutzpah to approach her (very un-English), giving her a compliment for her turban, then finding out that she is going to a chemo-therapy treatment (that is why she has the designer turban) -- then we realize that the compliment by Ari probably made her day despite the negative circumstances.
Thanks Ari!

I'm so glad you are taking photos in the streets of London. I somehow got the idea it was to be inside of Selfridges. If you are looking for funky and individualistic older style I still think you should get to the V&A museum. Lots of people to watch and photograph.

Kicker Fish Hightail Holeshot Shakey Worm 20pk
The straight worm has been used in bass fishing for many years as an effective, simple design that continues to be extremely efficient at catching bass. With new techniques like drop shotting and shaky head, "life-like" action is critical, and the Kicker Fish Hightail Holeshot Shaky Worm delivers the action. Thanks to the Hightail Series patented engineering, air pockets are molded into each bait, trapping air while submerged, which results in a more realistic, life-like presentation. The Hightail Series Holeshot Shaky Worm is guaranteed to stand up, no matter how it's rigged. For added attraction, each bait is also fortified with JJ's Magic Juice. When bass become lock-jaw and a finesse presentation is needed, the Holeshot Shaky Worm is a more than ideal offering. Superior action, superior visibility, a more realistic bait, the Kicker Fish Hightail Series Holeshot Shaky Worm just changed the game.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I will be throwing all my zoom trick worms away now.... kicker hightails all the way!!!
From: Calvin: Batseville AR
Comments: I don't know why people compare this product with Roboworm. They are totally different plastics. Robo are softer with salts - with better color patterns. Kicker Fish baits use kinda same material as Zoom Trick Worm (with garlic scent). This catches fish, tho. I like to support small businesses - so I picked this baits instead of Zoom. I just wish they have more colors available.
Comments: Floats higher than any worm on the market, durable, intuitive colors, great for shakyheading. The price is literally 100% better than Roboworms (2.99 for 20 Kicker fish worms vs. 3.29 for 10 Roboworms)! The 4.75 inchers in green pumpkin and watermelon candy are perfect. Strong scent of garlic masks the smell of super glue. MUST BUY MORE!!
Comments: Put this on a B.O.S.S shakey head and throw this basically anytime in the year and u will catch fish.My best color is watermelon red.Try throwing this on a sand bottom by rocks, that is where this bait excels!But it works basically everywhere else to.
Comments: The Kicker Fish Hightail Holeshot Shaky Worm is the best finesse worm I have used to date. It blows all other worms out of the water including the Trigger X Probe worm, the Zoom Shaky worm, the BPS Finesse worm, and ALL of the Roboworms. I began using the shakyhead with the classic 4.5 inch Roboworm. They worked great but I was breaking the bank (relatively) using them because they are too soft, therefore not durable and I also noticed they did not stand up straight (always) on a ballhead. Plus, Roboworms do not have a crayfish color. So I purchased three packs of the Holeshot worms and I was immediately impressed. They stand up straighter than Robos, more durable than Robos, cheaper than robo (by over 100%), and the tail has more action (due to its shape) than Robos. The holes really work and I believe it helps give the tail action. I really love the green pumpkin and the watermelon candy in the 4.75 inch size. They fit my river smallmouth shaky head niche perfectly. PS. The Kicker Fish Hightail Holeshot Shaky Worm has a powerful masking scent (garlic flavored) that even masks the smell of super glue.
Comments: Best Finnese Worm on the market! Made in TEXAS!
From: Rusty: Texas, where else?
Comments: Wow is all that needs to be said. I rig these on a Spot Remover and let the worm do the rest of the work. If you're looking for a worm that will literally stand any jig up off the bottom, look no further.
From: Russ: Canton, GA

The next holiday shopping list you check off is likely to be done on your new gift. With over 21 million tablets flooding the marketplace this holiday season, chances are good that tablets are going to be declared the hot electronics item under the 2012 tree.
eMarketer sets the number at 54.8 million tablet owners in the US by the end of 2012, but they're projecting that number to skyrocket to 89.5 million by 2014. To put that in perspective, there are currently about 114.6 million TV homes in the US. That's an awful lot of second screens that people will have in their hands. And, as the gift that keeps on giving (to advertisers), viewers will not only consume content on these devices, but they will consume real goods and services from the things that they find on them.
And what is one of the most impactful drivers for the goods and services that people consume on their tablets? Television ads. A Millward Brown/Dynamic Logic report puts "TV advertising" behind only personal recommendations as a prompt to action on a mobile device.
How great of a holiday-retail feel good story is this? Manufacturers increase production of the tablets, retailers enjoy moving lots of tablets out the door, gifters feel really generous, gift recipients get another avenue to purchase more goods and services along with a powerful entertainment and information device, and advertisers get another state-of-the-art screen to reach LOTS more consumers. It's an example of the Great Circle of modern consumerism.
And it makes everybody happy. Especially those of the first screen.
Tablets make the primary television viewing experience more productive and richer for those who own one. When tablet owners see a product advertised on TV that interests them, most will seek further information on their tablet, particularly those below the age of 50 (where tablet ownership is highest). According to GfK MRI's recent study, "28% of tablet owners who said that they used the device one or more times in the past week while watching TV shows reported that they looked up information about a product advertised on the show and 12% purchased such a product."
So viewers are more than willing to follow an advertisement across screens. And after this holiday season, more and more of them will be able to do so. Broadcasters are doing their part, building seamless pathways to their content through station apps, mobile websites, and mobile DTV.
And when viewers take these screens on the road, they primarily seek out video content as well as local news and information – as borne out by data from eMarketer, which says that the top three activities of tablet users are watching video, getting weather information, and getting local news. And as we've seen during the events of the past few months, people's appetite for news – whenever and wherever they are, as stories break – has never been higher.
In spite of industry speculation that second screens will result in even more media fragmentation, it appears instead that they're broadening it. Today's consumer is well versed in splitting their attention without losing their focus.
Let's face it, humans are now multiple-input creatures. That's why options like split screens, multiple screens, DVRS and VOD – none of these are daunting to today's video consumer anymore. Not only is today's savvy viewer comfortable with the concept of time-shifting, but they're becoming just as at ease with screen-shifting.
Nor is this fragmentation diluting their consumption of television. In fact, these devices are acting as tools to augment their quest for more and more television. And Broadcasters are eagerly leading the charge into 2013 with viewing options on every screen.
These complementary screens are the latest demonstration of the unparalleled power of television to be the most impactful marketing tool. Because once viewers acquire these devices, the content that they seek is all driven by television – from the programming that they desire, to the advertisements they investigate, to the news and information they demand.
As tablets led holiday sales in 2012, television will provide the fuel that makes them such a desired commodity.

Level 3-4 solar kingdom (Refess) is currently VERY STRONG, perhaps the strongest amongst the metas out there. I am not saying nerf it down. I don't even want phoenix nerfed down, because it puts a damper on the bloody WK.
But what i want is to point out the fact of the truth. Refess meta is here and it's strong!
Verlaat reminds me in art and in stats+skills of some sort of computer game super hero.
Why it's suddenly one of my favorite cards!
Etoile is super field wiper exterminator. Laughs in the face of about anything aside from burning sun + resource! It completely obsoletely other anti field wipe cards and should be nerfed HARD!
People miss out on the facts and don't even notice things like Judie that are here prior to set 11 and which are incredibly strong.
Sphinx buffed into sillyness. (yes this is retardedly powerful, it just currently lacks the proper set up to become stupidly annoying and over the top meta strong)
And there's more of which are either OP or just strong (verlaat is just strong).

A Miniaturized Transponder Module
The operating mode of the AMVOX2 DBS Transponder represented a daunting challenge in both technical and design terms. In the first phase, the engineers focused on miniaturising each part of the transponder in order to reduce it to a size that could fit inside a watch case featuring a thickness and diameter ensuring optimal user-friendliness and comfort whilst also meeting the technical and security specifications inherent to the car itself. The end result is a module weighing just a few grams and less than half the size of the same system inside the DBS key. Nonetheless, miniaturisation was just one of the stages in a global process that led researchers to entirely rethink the geometry and the wiring from a watchmaker's perspective – a high-tech feat that called for 18 months of meticulous engineering work.

I've really enjoyed watching many of the sports-meets-society series called 30 for 30, produced by ESPN Films. Each film tackles a singular sports subject by broadening the scope of the featured topic by taking into account the social, economic, and cultural determinants as well as the historical impact. The films are well produced and include candid commentary by journalists, athletes and entertainers. One Night in Vegas details the final moments before the rapper Tupac Shakur was killed. The library owns the following films in this series: Straight Outta L.A.

Figures from the state Commerce Department show visitor spending increased in all 100 of North Carolina's counties in 2012.
Data from the department's Division of Tourism, Film and Sports Development showed that Mecklenburg, Wake and Guilford counties had more than $1 billion in visitor spending in 2012. In addition, Dare, Buncombe, Forsyth and Durham counties all had more than half a billion dollars in spending.
Domestic visitors to and within North Carolina spent a record $19.4 billion in 2012, an increase of 5 percent from 2011. Visitor expenditures directly generated 193,610 jobs and more than $4.3 billion in payroll income within North Carolina in 2012.
The visitor spending figures come from an annual study commissioned by the Division of Tourism and conducted by the U.S. Travel Association.

Nobody prepares for a Phillies game like you do. Hundreds of jumping jacks followed by a few sets of fifty bicep curls? Please — that won't even break a sweat!

|After being told the prior day that the gates would be open, leading to the summit, the first gate was closed... 3.7 miles from the summit. I hiked with a 30-lb. backpack while pushing my mountain bike (most of the ascent), then coasted down the mountain on the bike with relative ease (and speed).
From Little Summit to Mount Constitution, there was 1-2" of fresh snow (from the prior day's storm) on the road. I met three men at the summit who were surveying the metal communications tower. Apparently, the owner of the summit communications tower is tired of the vandalization happening to the tower by park visitors, and is contemplating tearing it down. But the old stone tower will remain, of course.
The views from the summit tower are breathtaking. Highly recommended summit. This was my third County Highpoint in Washington State.

Thank God, for the vending machine near the rugged summit. If it wasn't for it, I may not be writing these ridiculous comments today.

|A nice winter hike with a superb view. Even though there was no snow in the Cascades below 3000 feet in February this year there was snow on Mt. Constitution below 800 feet. Because of the snow and ice the summit road was gated at the turnoff for Mountain Lake. I did a loop from the turnoff going to Mountain Lake and then up to the Little Summit and then on to the true summit. Took the road down. The skies were clear and you could see forever though Baker dominated the scene.

With Christmas Eve and Christmas coming up on Monday and Tuesday, for many people in the east their time off for the holidays has begun. Airport manager Jerry Vickers says he doesn't expect any issues for people arriving on flights in Greenville.
Friday at the Pitt-Greenville Airport some travelers were already getting an early start. While they were just heading to Charlotte for their connecting flights, anyone heading north could face some problems. One traveler we spoke with was heading to Dayton, Ohio, and told us it was already snowing at 1:00 a.m. Friday. He says even after he lands, he'll still have a tough road ahead.
"My toughest part of the whole travel plan may be getting from the Dayton airport to new Knoxville Ohio," said Bryon Eshelman who was traveling to Ohio Friday.

Less than 24 hours after the regular season ended, NFL firings began at a furious pace.
So far Monday, coaches Andy Reid, Pat Shurmur, Romeo Crennel, Lovie Smith, Norv Turner, Ken Whisenhunt and Chan Gailey were let go by their teams after losing seasons. None of the moves were surprising, and more are expected.
The Jets decided to keep their coach, Rex Ryan, but fired general manager Mike Tannenbaum.
The Browns made it a clean sweep, dismissing GM Tom Heckert along with Shurmur.
Reid was the longest tenured of the group, let go after 14 seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Gailey was dumped after three seasons with the Bills, Shurmur after two in Cleveland and Crennel was coach of the Chiefs for one full season.
Jacksonville fired GM Gene Smith.
The Arizona Cardinals fired Whisenhunt after six seasons that included the long-suffering franchise's only Super Bowl appearance.
The team also ousted general manager Rod Graves, who had been with the franchise for 16 years.
Chargers general manager A.J. Smith and Turner were fired after missing the playoffs for the third straight season.

Kazakhstan qualifier Mikhail Kukushkin in the final of the Kremlin Cup.
Gasquet beat Kukushkin by a 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 margin to claim his third title of
the year.
The 27-year-old Gasquet of France appeared in his 20th career ATP World Tour
final (10-10 record) and third of the season (3-0). The only other time he won
three titles in a season was in 2006.
Gasquet become the second French winner in the tournament's 24-year history.
Paul-Henri Mathieu won the title in 2002.
Additionally, Gasquet is still in contention for one of the remaining four
spots in the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals. With Sunday's victory,
Gasquet moved from 10th to ninth in the Emirates ATP Race to London standings,
ahead of countryrman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga.
Ranked 102nd in the world, Kukushkin had only qualified for four previous main
draws this year and lost in the first round in each of his three events before
a third-round appearance at the U.S. Open. This was his first tournament since
Flushing Meadows.
Kukushkin's only other final came three years ago, also in Russia. He picked
up his first career title with a victory over Mikhail Youzhny in St.
Gasquet, who collected $134,800 with the victory, improved to 2-0 lifetime
against Kukushkin.

Big offers are becoming the norm for St. Petersburg (Fla.) Catholic junior running back Ryan Green. The 5-foot-10, 195-pound speedster has already racked up an impressive offer list and one of the latest to extend a verbal tender is Ohio State. The Buckeyes came through with the offer on Sunday evening according Vader Green, the Father of the electric runner. "They offered yesterday (Sunday)," said Mr. Green. "Mark (Pantoni) was at Florida and he left there to go to Ohio State. We've kept in contact with Mark and I sent Mark an e-mail saying that I just wanted to know what was going on up at Ohio State. He told me to give him a call and that Urban Meyer wants to speak with us. So Ryan came out from working out and we gave him a call and I talked to Urban Meyer first and he had great things to say about Ryan, that he's a great kid and a great athlete and he wants to take that Florida speed up there. Then I put Ryan on and he gave Ryan the offer over the phone" With the offer, Ohio State joins some of the nation's other heavy hitters on an ever-growing list. Green already holds verbal offers from the likes of Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Miami (FL), Notre Dame, Purdue, and South Florida. "I thought it was great," Green said of the Ohio State offer. "He likes Urban Meyer from his Florida days so he likes him as a coach. We were excited to get that offer. Ohio State is definitely in the mix, no doubt. We're looking for a great coach and a great program." Another school from the Midwest has also made a big early impression on Green. "Notre Dame is definitely high on his list as well," he said. "We went to a game against Air Force and Ryan loved the atmosphere and the tradition of the school itself. He just felt at home when he was there." With an offer list approaching double digits, things don't seem to be slowing down any time soon as new schools enter the mix almost daily. "He's got some more schools (showing interest)," Green added. "I talked to Boston College and they're supposed to come down to the school, South Carolina as well. There's been a whole bunch of (college coaches) coming by the school." Green and his family are still in the evaluation process as they are soaking up as much knowledge about each school as possible. "It's great," Green said of the early offers. "We'll evaluate the best fit for Ryan and what's best for him with his input, but we're looking for a program that can accommodate him academically and as far as his skill level. I'm not saying that he's looking to get on the field right now but he doesn't want to sit for two or three years." Green is spending his winter on the basketball floor where he is currently second in the country in scoring. A true three-sport star, Green is also the defending district champion in the 100-meter dash.

Jackson Family Drama
There is some drama at the Jackson's home:
(Paris is tweeting some of the drama at www.twitter.com/ParisJackson )
· From Katherine Jackson's lawyer.
· "Yesterday afternoon certain Jackson family members ambushed Katherine Jackson's home after their vehicle tore security gates on the tails of the SUV containing Michael Jackson's children,"
· "After exiting their vehicles, Jackson family members ran up to Michael's children as they yelled and began to aggressively grab at the cell phones in their hands.
· "The children were forced to temporarily leave their home and taken to a safe location.
· "An altercation ensued shortly thereafter and law enforcement arrived at the scene."
· "Following the incident, it was learned that one of the family members who was part of the ambush admitted that a plan has been in place for the last three years to remove Katherine Jackson from her home and her beloved grandchildren.
· "Prince, Paris and Blanket Jackson have not heard from their grandmother since she left their home nine days ago to attend a series of her sons' concerts on their Unity Tour. She never made the shows.
"Last week, they banded together with fellow siblings to challenge the validity of Michael's will (which left everything to his children under the care of Katherine and completely excluded his brothers and sisters) in an attempt to oust the current executors of Michael's estate."
No one can get ahold of Katherine – she is eith with one of her kids – or under the care of a doctor.

Notes:The big news of the day was the return of sophomore quarterback Jake Locker, who practiced for the first time in 10 days after suffering a hamstring injury."I guess I could say 100 percent," replied Willingham when asked how much more involved Locker was today. "But that would be referencing where he's been at, which was zero, so that's pretty good."When asked what the staff saw in Locker to declare him ready to practice, Willingham responded:"Jake. Jake. That's what we saw - Jake," said Willingham. "Jake's eager, anxious and ready to get involved."Locker is a gamer, plain and simple - someone who only goes full speed. However, with his injury, Willingham addressed the concern of limiting that mentality to a degree."There's no question what we have to do is definitely put limits on him, because he wants to be back and he wants to be going. We have to be very careful because he's what I call an instinctive player," explained Willingham. "So his instincts take over and he just goes. It's just something that's going to happen. The best way to do that, is if we can put him in situations that we protect him from using his instincts. Than we can kind of limit what will take place with him." Willingham touched on sophomore safety Victor Aiyewa's injury."Victor is doing well - did some limited stuff today," Willingham explained.Willingham also touched on sophomore safety Nate Williams' injury, which he referred to as an "owie" last week."I don't think he's missed a beat," said Willingham. "I think he came back and did everything Saturday."The prestigious gold jersey has not be given out yet, and it sounds like one may not be given out."We haven't [awarded a gold jersey] so far," said Willingham. "I think we've seen a lot of good things, but I don't think anyone has clearly distinguished themselves right now. I don't know if that's totally been a focus of us as coaches also."The running back position is one where a number of players have the opportunity to step up and grab a spot in the rotation. Willingham had this to say when asked if the coaching staff is comfortable enough to set a rotation."We could," replied Willingham. "If we played today, it would probably include possibly two freshman, and that's not all bad."Willingham offered up this witty response when asked if the holder position is such an interchangeable position that you can find anyone to do it well."No, I don't think you can," said Willingham. "But I haven't seen it perfected to the point yet where we go out and give a scholarship for the holder."

What do you think of this story??
Kindergartner suspended for Mohawk - Education - MSNBC.com
I've been seeing little kids with these haircuts, and while I think the trend is ridiculous, how does it warrant a suspension?
The school said it was distracting, but when I was in kindergarten, looking at the fat kid in front of me in gym class with his crack showing was darn distracting, too, and he got to stay in school.
Forever trying to find a cure for the Dunning-Kruger Effect.
Its dumb in the fact that this kid has a mohawk, but he should not be suspended. The parents beaten yes. I had some folks in highschool who had weird piercings, haricuts, and clothes and it was only distracting as long as you make it that way. I usually forgot about it a few days later and moved on.
That is BS kid should not be suspended and really if the kid wants a mohawk he has the right to.. people in schools are having some major power trips...along with a few others
Iowa State: Anyone who's a true college basketball fan needs to see a game at Hilton Coliseum. Nice is in the DNA of Iowans and the fans here are particularly gracious -- even when the home team loses but gives a great effort, they are appreciative.
ESPN.com picked Hilton Coliseum as the "Hot Arena" in the Big 12...coaches in the league noted that, "regardless of talent, the Cyclones have a home court like no other."
After that quick read... I think that the parent is making the correct decision to transfer to a different school. Got a feeling everybody will be happier. Hopefully a quick transfer and this matter will be put to rest. I am wondering though, what were this kid's first two infractions? Parents must be real winners.
What a weak mohawk. Gel it, spike it and die it green with kool-ade, then come get me until then let the kid stay in class and eat his paste.
Another example of school systems trying to extend their authority beyond their bounds. What ever happend to schools just trying to teach kids things instead of trying to endoctronate kids into believing into what they want them to.
I am going to end up getting my kids kicked out of school at some point in my life, I just know it.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
hey, this story is finally some good news in the War against liberals and freedom of expression! this is America! CONFORM!!!
that was sarcasm.
seriously though, how distracting can it be after a few days? kids/people get used to something... "oh, thats just billy with the mohawk" or whatever his name was.. I used to have to wear a patch on my right eye in elementary b/c of extreme myopia in my left eye (and ironically enough I was a hawk fan growing up!), that caught the attention of my classmates for about a week or so, then I was just known as the kid with the patch on his eye....
I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
Thomas Jefferson, 1802
Man that's some bull****
Mohawks are a good way to make a first impression. I garuntee you that my advisor will never forget me, no matter how hard he tries
4 or 5 years later he still brings up my red mohawk (that I wore to the last basketball game my freshman year)
Oh we will fight, fight, fight for Iowa State,
and may her colors ever fly!!!
In Accordance with Prophecy
Here is a spelling bee for them, dumb. D - U - M - B. Dumb.
Iowa State became the Cyclones after they leveled Northwestern in 1895. As the Chicago Tribune (9/29/1895) noted:
'Struck by a Cyclone
It Comes from Iowa and Devastates Evanston Town'
Dumb parents, kids that age shouldn't have mohawks. In fact anyone that has one has a fashion issue possibly...
Go Cubs Go!
Mohawks for some reason became popular with little kids, I thought that trend would have died by now (given that I first noticed it several years ago as a lifeguard)
It's dumb but it's no reason to suspend a kid from school
Lets teach this kid a lesson by expelling him because of his hair style. As an added bonus we can rob him of his education too. If he's lucky he can put together a promising career in Punk music.
Hey, "no kid left behind" Ummm hello, 1980 called and they want their hairstyle back! lol
I must have been lucky in high school... not only did I color my hair for Green and Gold day during homecoming week, but I also managed to talk some of my teachers into letting me color their hair, and would color other people's hair for them at lunch
Not to mention in February at the end of swim season there was crazy cuts
My favorite, from Junior year (by the way the school librarian took these for me...)

I concur. My cousin's kid got a mohawk. He loved it. His Dad loved it. But..fortunately it was very short lived. A few other kids in his school were doing it. By ignoring the haircut the whole problem went away. My cousin's school system did it right.
It sounded as thought this school, from the above link, is quite conservative. I'm just guessing from the uniform and the ultra conservative viewpoint from the administration. Apparently this kid can't play basketball, or they'd overlook it.
After a quick re-read, it says it's a community school. I take that to mean public school. Makes this even weirder.

In an assisted vaginal delivery, the doctor will use special tools called forceps to help move the baby through the birth canal.
Forcepslook like two large salad spoons. The doctor uses them to guide the baby's head out of the birth canal. The mother will push the baby the rest of the way out.
Another technique your doctor may use to deliver the baby is called vacuum assisted delivery.
Even after your cervix is fully dilated (open) and you have been pushing, you may still need help getting the baby out. Reasons include:
Before forceps can be used, your baby needs to be far enough down the birth canal. The baby's head and face must also be in the right position. Your doctor will check you carefully to make sure it is safe to use forceps.
Most women will not need forceps to help them deliver. You may feel tired and tempted to ask for a little help. But if there is not a true need for assisted delivery, it is safer for you and your baby to deliver on your own.
You will be given medicine to block pain. This may be an epidural block or a numbing medicine placed in the vagina.
The plastic cup will be placed on the baby's head. Then, during a contraction, you will be asked to push again. At the same time, the doctor will gently pull to help deliver your baby.
After the doctor delivers the baby's head, you will push the baby the rest of the way out. After delivery, you can hold your baby on your tummy if he or she is doing well.
If the vacuum does not help move your baby, you may need to have a C-section.
There are some risks with forceps delivery, but it rarely causes lasting problems when properly used.
For the mother, they are:
For the baby, the risks are:
Most of these risks are not severe. When properly used, forceps and vacuum extractor rarely cause lasting problems.

To celebrate the opening of the space we're having an Open Day tomorrow, Friday 22nd July. As part of the day all services will be free of charge, so come along to take a look. Bring a laptop and find some space to work for a few hours or bring your latest project to hack on in the workshop. The space will be open from 9am to 9pm so there's plenty of time to pop in and have a chat and get some work done!
Our main space is the large workshop, we've got a few hot desks for those who want to be in the main room and a few work benches for people hacking on projects. A couple of the co-working desks are located in here too so there will usually be someone around to ask questions to.
If you need a quieter environment you can use our office space, further from the windows you can get your head down and concentrate on the difficult problems of life.
If you want to meet with clients, or perhaps you've started working on a great start-up idea with other members of DoES Liverpool, you can use our meeting room. Sit around the table thrashing ideas out or use the flipboard to work on new designs.
Don't forget, if you can't make it to the open day (or even if you do) you get your first day's hot desking for free if you bring cake!

Dawn knew she wanted to be an author since she put fat pencil to blue-lined paper. Though she always wanted to be an author, she wasn't sure she had the "stuff" to be published. She graduated from college with a teaching degree and taught elementary schoolsecond and third grades (the best)and then began freelance feature writing for newspapers and magazines, local and national. Eventually she left teaching and freelancing for full-time public relations jobs. In 2006, she left her day job to write full-time and hasn't looked back.
She met her husband, David, in 1980. They married in 1985, taking their Hobie catamaran to San Diego for their honeymoon. Dawn published two stories in True Love magazine in the early '80s. Getting brave, she wrote a sexy romance, which was promptly rejectedsniff. Busy with career changes, marriage and having a child, she set aside her plans to write novels until 1996, when she dug out that rejected book and rewrote it. Two years later, she sold the first of two short romantic comedies to Kensington Publishing. Then in 2000 she began her career writing sensual and funny romances for several Harlequin linesTemptation, Duets, Flipside and Blazewhich she now calls home, adding a dash of suspense to her latest releases.
She's won the Golden Quill for Best Sexy Romance and has been a several-times Romantic Times Reviewers Choice finalist for Best Blaze (twice) and Best Flipside, as well as a finalist for the Romantic Times Career Achievement Award for "Best Love and Laughter."
Her hobbies include sailing, scuba diving, playing the piano (badly) and Zumba, her current obsession.

What do you guys think of the new errata? Overall it look good except the part where they nerf Verlaat too much. You can already check the errata in the card list.
Good nerf of the chicks : close skill set def to 0. Its exactly the nerf I wanted!
Miffy is almost the same except her healing skill only heal 10. Never had problem with her but those who wanted her to be nerf badly will RAGEEEE!!!! lol
Perfect nerf for Augmented Doll : Now her close skill does only 40 vs atk +10. So its still good but nerf the OD combo. But IMHO the HP nerf (now 30) wasn't necessary and should give her 40 hp back.
I don't know all the cards that have been buff but for now Efreet look very cool, especially its open skill I wish he didn't have an 1 sp auto skill tough...

|Soong-type android
| Dr. Noonien Soong
Juliana Soong
|Dr. Ira Graves
|Dr. Arik Soong
| Lore
(Older Brother)
(Older Brother)
|Brent Spiner
- "Dr. Soong's penchant for whimsical names seems to have no end."
B-4 was a prototype android constructed by Doctor Noonien Soong on Omicron Theta in the 2330s. Although B-4 was physically identical to both Data and Lore, the two final androids built, B-4 was not equipped with a positronic brain as sophisticated as those of his brothers, with the result that he asked simple questions such as "Why does the tall man have a furry face?", and describing Engineering as being simply "A room... with lights."
The existence of B-4 was not known to Starfleet until 2379, when the disassembled pieces of the android were found by the crew of the USS Enterprise-E on Kolarus III. The pieces had been planted there by Shinzon as part of an elaborate scheme to lure Jean-Luc Picard to Romulus. B-4 was also used as an unwitting spy; he was equipped with a second memory port that contained subversive programming that compelled him to download vital data about the positions of all Federation starships and their coded communications frequencies.
Although he recognized B-4's limitations, Data wished to give his brother the opportunity to expand his capabilities, much in the same way that he himself had in years past. Towards that end, Data willingly copied all of his memories to B-4, hoping that the added experiences would help B-4 to expand beyond his original programming. However, soon afterward, B-4 had to be deactivated because of the danger he posed to the Enterprise crew, as a result of Shinzon's tampering.
A short time later, Data was killed while destroying the Scimitar; having voluntarily sacrificed himself to save his crewmates. B-4 was reactivated, and although some of Data's memories began to surface, his future was uncertain. (Star Trek Nemesis)
- B-4 was played by actor Brent Spiner.
- In the original Star Trek Nemesis script, the android B-4 ("before") was named B-9 ("benign"). Also according to the script, the android was taken from its homeworld by the Pakleds and traded to the Bolians. He ultimately encountered some Cardassians, who tossed him into a garbage chute and out into space, where he was found by Talosians. It was also revealed that Shinzon had learned of the prototype android through a Cardassian historian. None of this, however, made it to the final version of the script.
- Captain Picard's interactions with B-4 after Data's destruction at the end of Star Trek Nemesis hint at the possibility of a Spock-like rebirth of Data through B-4, although actor Brent Spiner has called this unlikely due to the fact that he himself has "visibly aged out of the role" of an android who supposedly does not age. Of course, this is not necessarily true since the TNG episode "Inheritance" states that Data does, indeed, have the capability to age.

I guess Vonderam could just be a god-like entity that created the mermaids to carry out his will. I don't see the Alteil merfolk as sea fey at all. They seemed to be minding there own business until Galdirea cursed them.
I don't think our mermaids can take human form whenever they want. Except for Emana, all the mermaids had to be given human form by Vonderam. Though I suppose he could transform them so that they could go on land fir the sake of reproduction.
As I said above, Emana didn't need Vonderam to grant her human form, so did someone else do or does Emana possess some of the abilities of her father?

AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) - Maine drug agents have seized a bath salts mailing in Presque Isle and arrested several suspects in an oxycodone ring in Bangor.
In Presque Isle, Maine Drug Enforcement Agents and local police on Thursday arrested 25-year-old Joshua Dunn and took possession of packages containing what drug agents believed to be synthetic cathinones, or bath salts. Agents also seized $900 in cash. Dunn faces trafficking charges and was in jail Friday.
Drug agents said they wrapped up a yearlong criminal investigation of illegal oxycodone sales with arrests in Bangor and Caribou. One of the suspects had been arrested for trafficking previously and pleaded guilty.

When one visualizes Iggy Pop, what typically comes to mind is the filthy-blond snarling badass half-naked onstage, his torso looking like some immaculate leather-over-steel machine, contorted in an impossible yogic pose, his mouth agape, rupturing the minds and eardrums of an astonished audience. His epic performances—Iggy's still killing it on the Stooges' reunion tour—are spectacular ballets of raw larynx power and undressed, flabbergasting physique. Despite his near-nudity, he's inarguably a fashion icon, proving that style can be just as much about attitude as apparel. As for the look he represents, there's possibly no greater purveyor of that broken-bottle, suited-brawlers rock aesthetic than John Varvatos. Iggy recently starred in one of Varvatos's classic classic-rock campaigns, and we snuck our way into a conversation between these two Detroit legends to eavesdrop on the origin of Iggy's look and some back-in-the-day tales.
VMAN First, would it be wrong to assume you two have obviously known each other a long time?
JOHN VARVATOS We've actually only known each other for about three or four years.
IGGY POP Yeah, John gave me a gig. He hired me to be the world's ugliest model, which started me on the path to my recent selection in Britain as the world's ugliest man.
JV I saw you all over the buses in London yesterday. You're all around!
VMAN Where did you shoot it?
JV It was shot in Central Park. It was great.
IP I've done a lot of things on park benches in my life, everything from inhabiting down to soiling them. They have some very nice benches in London and Paris where I've managed to write some good things. You know, very civilized park benches.
VMAN Iggy, was it your first time modeling?
IP I can't remember. There's a lot I don't remember. When I lived in Hollywood, I liked to cross-dress when I got drunk; I remember once I modeled for the West Hollywood Police Station. They didn't like what I was wearing and put me in jail.
VMAN Iggy, I think John's most famous store is the location that took over the CBGB space. What connection do you have to that space? I heard you actually never played there.
IP I preceded that movement. There were people in New York who remember this much better than I do: in late '75 or early '76 the CBGB movement held a party or a reception for me, a "punk reception" [laughs]. I went over there and had a drink with Johnny Thunder, Debbie Harry, Joey Ramone, Dee Dee, Tommy, and Seymour Stein, who had the smaller label Sire [Records], which was independent at the time. That was really my big visit to CBGB's.
JV You were more of a Max's [Kansas City] guy.
IP Yeah, I was from a different era. I started going to Max's before it was a music bar—when it was still a steak house. It had been preempted by Andy Warhol, to pay his unpaid talent in free meals. If you were in one of his films and you could talk him into it, he would give you a piece of paper, like a credit card, that would get you a hamburger at Max's. There was a back room where these people hung out and charmed each other, and the only musician that hung out there, before David Bowie moved that way, was Lou Reed. And then John Cale and Nico. But something that always interested me when I went there was that often in the front of the restaurant, as far as they could get from the back room, you would see Jimi Hendrix and Buddy Miles having a hamburger. Jimi was curious, but I don't think he wanted to dip a toe in back there.
VMAN John, has Iggy always been someone who represents your fashion aesthetic?
JV I wanted to look like the Stooges when I was growing up, and the Ramones and all those guys wanted to look like the Stooges later on. I saw the first Stooges album in 1968–69, and that's exactly what I wanted to look like—you know, with the black leather jackets and the skinny jeans and the flares. You made everyone else look like pussies. You guys looked tough and sexy at the same time. That was the thing, it wasn't like a '50s black leather jacket and baggy jeans—it was tight jeans and little flares and skinny motorcycle jackets. It's actually so fashionable right now too. Where did you guys get your influence from in terms of fashion at that point in time?
IP We were all influenced by the English invaders, especially the early Beatles and the early Stones. I always wanted to look like Charlie Watts, and I liked the portrayal and imagery of the Rolling Stones during the December's Children–David Bailey photograph period. But the big influences really, for me, were two groups of people. One was the inner-city black people from Detroit, the way they dressed was a sort of "continental style," as they used to call it. The pocket was parallel to the ground, never on the diagonal, always horizontal. And the pants—if there's a flare, it should be a discreet flair, or a straight-leg pant. And what you wear on top should be something that was ambiguously flashy, not obviously flashy. The other big influences for me were the Vietnam vets, guys coming back from Nam. They knew from guns, and it changed everything.
Iggy Pop in Miami, August 2010

After dropping out of the headlines for some time, women's football is once again in the spotlight as the national women's football team, the Twiga Stars intensify their preparations for a key African Women's Championship qualifier against Namibia.
Considering that the first leg will be played in Windhoek, Namibia on 14th January, Twiga Stars do not have much time to prepare themselves for the vital task at hand.
Indeed, it could be argued that the preparations of the team have been undermined by the fact that as of yet, no friendly encounters have been organized to test the team ahead of the all-important clash.
It is quite doubtful that the governing body for local football, the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF), only knew recently that Twiga Stars would be facing Namibia early this year.
This is because the governing body for African football, the Confederation of African football (CAF) usually notifies its member countries of such qualifiers well in advance.
But beyond this particular hurdle for our heroines to overcome, it is quite clear that infinitely greater support needs to be given to local women's football if it is to realize its full potential.
And it may even be possible that the TFF and other football stakeholders are already aware of this as a seminar on women's football organized late last year demonstrated.
However, while this move is undoubtedly a step in the right direction, it has now reached a point where our long-suffering female football players need expeditious action and not more talk.
Indeed, this means setting up a national women's league, and engaging in youth development, before more precious time is lost.
It is still awe-inspiring to think that Twiga Stars represented the country at the 2010 African Women's Championship, having received little support from all quarters of the local football fraternity.
But against all odds, they achieved their goal that year and it is only fitting that we support their efforts to transform our country into a bona fide unstoppable force in women's football.
