The United States condemns in the strongest terms the latest vicious attacks by the Syrian regime against civilians, most notably the attack on people waiting to buy bread at a bakery in the town of Helfeya. Brutal attacks such as these show that this regime has no future in Syria. Those that commit atrocities will be held accountable. The United States calls on all parties that continue to assist the regime in executing its war against the Syrian people to end their support.
The visit of Joint Special Representative Brahimi to Damascus and his work offers an opportunity to move a political transition forward and the United States continues to support his efforts. We urge the regime to capitalize on the Joint Special Representative's efforts in order to transition to a new government and end the brutal repression of the Syrian people.

A soldier killed when a home-made bomb exploded in Iraq today has been identified as Specialist James R. Wolf, an engineer assigned to a battalion based at Fort Carson.
Post officials say 21-one-year-old Wolf was killed after the bomb exploded near his convoy in Mosul. Wolf was from Scottsbluff, Nebraska.
He enlisted in the Army with hopes of making it a career and had been in Iraq for seven months.
Wolf's mother, Chris Wolf, says her son was working on housing for U-S soldiers and Iraqi citizens.

Coach likes look of LU men's basketball team (VIDEO)
Friday, November 8, 2013
John Redmond wants to put Lincoln basketball back on the map. He believes he finally has the team to do it.
"This is the first group I can honestly say I feel real confident about making some changes in Lincoln basketball," the fifth-year men's coach said. "I think they're going to surprise a lot of people. The kids we have feel like they want to make a change, they want to get Lincoln basketball back where it's supposed to be."
That's asking a lot from a program with just 15 wins to its name during the last four seasons. So it's all about baby steps for the Blue Tigers as they begin their season against Arkansas Tech at 5:30 p.m. today at the Southwest Baptist Classic in Bolivar.
"I want to be in the conference tournament," Redmond said of his team's main goal for the season. "If we get there, I think we have arrived and we have something to show as far as improvement. If we don't make the conference tournament we haven't improved."
Eleven of the 14 teams now in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association qualify for the postseason tournament. Lincoln finished last out of 15 teams last season with a 3-25 overall record and 2-16 mark in the league.
But Redmond has a plan for how to crawl out of the cellar.
"We have to win at home and steal a few on the road," he said. "That's how you make tournaments. It's imperative we get that done."
That's no easy task, especially considering Lincoln must replace the league's leading scorer from a season ago. Cedric Ridle Jr. topped the conference at 21 points per game as a senior.
"You can't go out and replace. That's going to be hard to do," Redmond said. "You're not just going to find a Cedric anywhere. We have delegated where we have two or three people who can do several things.
"I wanted to put pieces together where we have a pure shooter and have some drivers. We've got pieces that are a combination of what we were losing. Instead of getting one, we got two or three guys that can help us in those areas."
The pure shooter is Clay Crouch, a junior from North Arkansas Community College who will take over for Ridle at shooting guard. Mike Smith, a junior from Westchester (N.Y.) Community College, will play on the other wing.
"He's a great driver and great mid-range shooter," Redmond said of Smith.
Josh Buie, a junior who last played at Drury University, will assume the starting point guard role.
Charles Cole, second on the Blue Tigers with 15 points per game and first with 7.3 rebounds per contest last season, will come back to start at forward.
"We have high expectations for Charles," Redmond said. "Charles will be better due to the fact he doesn't have to do everything through Cedric.
"There were nights he looked great, and there were nights it was like, 'Where is Charles?' My thing with him is being consistent."
Redmond believes Cole will deliver on a more consistent basis thanks to freshman Aaron Spudich.
"He's giving Charles a run for his money," Redmond said. "Charles has no room for error. Aaron's a man, he was a tight end (at Maplewood-Richmond Heights High School). His work ethic has pushed Charles and made Charles better."
Then you have James Edmond Jr., who missed all of last season with a knee injury after a solid 2011-12 campaign, starting at center.
Freshman Blake Derickson, from Oshkosh (Wis.) West High School, will push Edmond for the starting spot.
"The way he's progressing, I'm giving him four or five games and he might be my starting post," Redmond said of Derickson.
Redmond also expects significant contributions from Mario Bass, a senior transfer from southwest Tennessee Community College, and Robert Hopkins, a freshman from Macomb, Mich., along with a batch of talented freshmen.
"Most times you take a freshman and you think it will take a little while. This group has really been impressive with how they've done things, how quickly they've picked up things," Redmond said. "I think we have a nucleus that any given time we have people who can go in and get the job done.
"I'm not excited about who starts because I'm willing to bet the people that are starting will not be the people on the floor at the end of the game."
Lincoln can begin figuring out that lineup tonight against Arkansas Tech and Saturday against Henderson State.
"I've got one thing in mind," Redmond said. "I will not be satisfied unless we come back home 2-0. I'm not thinking about a split, it's two wins or bust. That's the way I'm approaching it.
"It's not going to be any easy task. We're going to know real quickly what we're made of. We're not starting off with a cupcake. If you want to be considered in those people's ballpark, you have to go beat them."

This is very engaging photograph, yes.
...but, in what respects to photojournalism as an specialized activity, this is NOT an exceptional photo.
...I mean, they were the obvious subject and the photographer, probably being from his campaign staff, obviously had the most important single ingredient for a successful photo: Access.
His/her job was to point the camera and just wait for something to happen. He/she would have grossly failed on his/her job if the moment was not captured.
...But, If 100 PJs were allowed the same access we would have had 100 twin photos.
If we could see a general, establishing shot of the same moment and its location, some more creative/narrative perspectives could probably be identified.

KDL ranks high in peer comparison
Every year libraries across the country are asked to submit their annual statistical data. This year, the data published in the Public Library Data Service Statistical Report 2007 brings us to some exciting conclusions.
In a peer group of 27 libraries nationwide, Kent District Library ranks high-to-very high in areas that measure superior performance, such as reference transactions, library card registrations, visits, and circulation per capita. Our high rank in the area of material expenditures per capita demonstrates continuing investment in one of our most important resources — the KDL collection!
KDL also ranked in the mid-range for area growth and economic stability, including population, operating income and operating expenditures.
The KDL family has a real feeling of pride when we review these statistics and see what our staff is able to accomplish. And for the future, while no one has a crystal ball, our 2007 KDL Business Plan positions KDL to move up in the rankings next year with short term goals and action plans. Moving forward through planning and dedication — that summarizes KDL and its upcoming initiatives!

Gift Ideas To Spark Their Creativity
Here are some gift ideas that let you, or them, get a little creative. The first one is the Paper Watch. Right away you might think; 'a Paper Watch' won't it just rip and break. The band on this watch is made of that really strong paper they use for those bands when you are going into a concert or a water park or something like that. So they don't break and you can write on it.
Next up, the Cardboard Radio. It's an FM radio that also functions as a speaker for your cell phone or MP3 player. It comes with the batteries and cable you need for both the radio and MP3 playback. The sound is quite good and again, it's a gift that you, or they, can personalize.
Finally, the Comic Strip Photo Frame. Take some photo's and make your own fun comic strip and gift. Or let them make thier own comic sript around their friends or boyfriend.
These are great gifts for Birthdays, Christmas and Valentine's Day. For Valentine's Day, add your own special touch and give as a gift to your love.

Inquiry on Tax Strategy Adds to Scrutiny of Finance Firms
Source: NY Times
The New York attorney general is investigating whether some of the nations biggest private equity firms have abused a tax strategy in order to slice hundreds of millions of dollars from their tax bills, according to executives with direct knowledge of the inquiry.
The attorney general, Eric T. Schneiderman, has in recent weeks subpoenaed more than a dozen firms seeking documents that would reveal whether they converted certain management fees collected from their investors into fund investments, which are taxed at a far lower rate than ordinary income.
Among the firms to receive subpoenas are Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Company, TPG Capital, Sun Capital Partners, Apollo Global Management, Silver Lake Partners and Bain Capital, which was founded by Mitt Romney, the Republican nominee for president. Representatives for the firms declined to comment on the inquiry.
Mr. Schneidermans investigation will intensify scrutiny of an industry already bruised by the campaign season, as President Obama and the Democrats have sought to depict Mr. Romney through his long career in private equity as a businessman who dismantled companies and laid off workers while amassing a personal fortune estimated at $250 million.

Emphasis added.
According to the article, the subpoenas were issued in July, weeks before the leak of Bain documents published by Gawker, and don't seem to be connected to them.

Vote Green
What's the most environmental friendly way to cast your ballot?
This analysis glosses over a few variables, like the manufacture, maintenance, and transport of the scanner and touch-screen computer. Unfortunately, the Lantern is hamstrung by a lack of information. Manufacturers of voting machines do not like talking to the media—even if you're asking for basic environmental data rather than accusing them of security flaws. And they certainly have not subjected their products to comprehensive life-cycle analyses. If anything, the unconsidered variables might tip the balance slightly in favor of the paper ballots, since each optical scanner can service more voters than the touch screen. Without better information, however, this one remains too close to call.
But when it comes to the climate impacts of voting, there's a third candidate to consider. In the 2010 midterms, 33 states allowed members of the military and citizens living overseas to cast their ballots via the Internet. If that system were offered universally, it would certainly be superior to both in-person and mail-in voting, from an environmental perspective. Assuming it would take about five minutes to vote on a desktop, each vote would account for just 0.02 pounds of carbon dioxide. The entire voting process would therefore account for less greenhouse gas emissions than even the manufacture of a paper ballot. Plus, younger people—to the extent they bother to vote at all—would be likely to vote on their smartphones, which are far more energy-efficient than a clunky old desktop.
Internet voting is still a long way off, though. The experts the Lantern consulted emphasized that security systems aren't sufficiently robust or well-studied to take a presidential election completely online. Any potential failures would result in protracted legal battles, anyway, and the atmosphere surely wouldn't benefit from armies of lawyers crisscrossing the country to plead their clients' cases.
Still, taking elections online is worthwhile goal over the long term. In the 2008 presidential election, more than 125 million people voted. If everyone one of them generated two pounds of greenhouse gas traveling to and from the polling place, the transport-related emissions alone from the election would have approached the annual emissions of some small countries like Comoros or Dominica. That's no excuse to sit out the vote, of course. You can always walk, run, or bike to the polling place.
The Green Lantern thanks Alexander Shvartsman of the University of Connecticut and Dan Wallach of Rice University.

Sam Hill's influence on the Demo 8's geometry was quite noticeable – the slack and low setup required an all-or-nothing attack from the pilot. As a result, pro level test riders loved it while amateurs often felt one step behind the bike and struggled to feel comfortable. In fact, all Specialized team riders competed on a smaller frame size than normal this year to better fit the new geometry. The FSR suspension wass super supple, didn't pedal as crisply as others in the group.

The Keuka College Enactus team has returned triumphant from a strong showing at the 2014 National Expo in Cinncinati, Ohio, held March 31- April 3.
According to co-adviser Enid Arbelo Bryant, assistant professor of communication, the group advanced through the first round to the quarter finals, earning a trophy along the way.
"I'm so proud of the group and their hard work this year," Bryant said, noting that the team was up against some admirable competitors who moved ahead into the semi-finals. Some of the contenders included schools as large as the University of Southern Maine, University of North Caroline at Charlotte and Kennesaw State University.
Enactus is an international, non-profit organization that works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. The international organization formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) changed its name to Enactus in the fall of 2012.
Each year, Enactus teams from college campuses across the nation send exposition teams to participate in regional competitions. Through rehearsed and choreographed multimedia presentations, team members give a formal retelling of the club's accomplishments during that academic year. The judges panel is comprised of private-sector business executives and can be tough to impress. Regional winners automatically receive an invitation to the national competition, which the Keuka College team has done 10 of the past 12 years.
The College was represented in Cinncinati by Enactus members Michael Kelly '14, president; Darrcy Matthews '14, COO; Brittany Gleason '15, Amanda Markessinis '16, Kathryn Zawisa '16, Joshua Crummenauer '15, Trevor Irby '16, Ashley Smith '16, Joseph Rosario '16, Marilynn Schoen '15 and Margaret Tower '16. Another five students round out the full club on campus.
According to Kelly, the team has overcome a number of challenges in the last three years, and this year's finish capped it off.
"Considering this is the farthest we've gone in three years, this year has been extremely successful," said Kelly. "I'm grateful to all the team members who worked tirelessly to make sure all the projects were going well throughout the year. Even though I will graduate and be sad to leave the team, I'll be excited to watch how they're doing from the sidelines."
Three projects were part of this year's work: the Seeds of Change initiative, which enables teenage girls at a Costa Rican shelter for the underprivileged to make and sell handmade bracelets in their local community and ship them back to the Enactus team for sale here; the Campus Sustainability Initiative (CSI) which the team has coordinated since 2009 to raise awareness about a number of environmental and societal issues; and a new initiative to begin selling paid ads for the Keukonian student newspaper.
In addition to Bryant, Dr. Yang Zhao, assistant professor of international management, also serves as adviser to the team.
Jonathan Accardi, director of campus recreation and aquatics at Keuka College, received a double dose of good news Thursday (April 18).
After winning the College's Work-Study Supervisor of the Year Award, Accardi learned he had also captured the Northeast Association of Student Employment Administrators (NEASEA) Supervisor of the Year Award.
The NEASEA's Supervisor of the Year program begins at an institutional level and progresses to the regional level. The award was established to recognize the integral part that the supervisor plays in the education of a student employee. Supervisors act as mentors and provide education to their students not gained through the classroom. Students at colleges and universities across the region were asked to nominate supervisors they felt were especially worthy of recognition.
In all, 91 supervisors were nominated, including seven from Keuka, and 11 schools submitted their winner for consideration for the NEASEA award. Accardi bested winners from colleges in New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Massachusetts, Maine, Pennsylvania, and West Virgina.
According to senior Samantha Stevenson, who nominated Accardi, he communicates continuously with student workers, is always open to comments or concerns, and freely shares his vision for future campus recreation programming. Stevenson called Accardi one of her greatest mentors. (more…)
Imagination. Courage. Determination. Partnership. Accountability. Curiosity. Those six traits and four community service initiatives will be shared by six Keuka students at the regional Enactus competition in Baltimore, Md. March 22.
Enactus is an international, non-profit organization that works with leaders in business and higher education to mobilize students to make a difference in their communities while developing the skills to become socially responsible business leaders. The international organization formerly known as Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) changed its name to Enactus this fall.
Regional winners automatically receive an invitation to the national competition, which Keuka has done nine of the past 11 years. This year's nationals will be held May 21-23 in Kansas City, Mo.
The Keuka team will deliver a 17-minute presentation outlining four community service projects it completed this year, Including:

What do Seattle's "most socially responsible crouton" and Saint Francis University have in common? Bill Adamucci (Economics '66), that's what.
By Marie Young, Director of Marketing & Communications, originally published in Saint Francis University Magazine Spring/Summer 2014
When you dine at FareStart Restaurant in Seattle, you can sample "without a doubt, the most socially responsible crouton you will ever eat." The idea that a crouton can change lives is one that Bill Adamucci, '66, a member of FareStart's Governing Board, agrees with wholeheartedly. FareStart (www.farestart.org) is a social enterprise organization that uses food to improve the lives of homeless adults and youth. Since 1992, nearly 7,000 people have benefited from the job training/placement and other offerings within the program.The FareStart model is an amazing blend of philanthropy and entrepreneurship. The program's $8 million budget is funded primarily through sales of contract meal and restaurant revenue, along with generous gifts from private and corporate sponsors. Only about 10 percent of the budget comes from government grant funding. If you think about it, FareStart beautifully brings to life a quote attributed to St. Francis of Assisi that we are like to use for inspiration at Saint Francis University: "Start by doing what is necessary, then do what is possible, suddenly you are doing the impossible." Every week a new group of homeless men and women begin a 16-week journey to employability. The comprehensive program combines hands-on food service training with classroom instruction, individual case management, life skills training, and job placement services.
Training in progress:The hands-on culinary training portion of the program (photo by Frank Huster)
The program isn't a silver bullet against homelessness. Many of the participants have to come to terms with issues around drugs and alcohol use, as well as domestic violence, sexual abuse, and mental illness. FareStart partners with many other services to help increase the success rate of their students. FareStart has contracts with housing partners and covers the costs of beds during the program. They provide a transitional path as students build a payment history and save for a deposit. FareStart may also pay for housing during the first month after a participant graduates and begins to earn a paycheck. In 2013, 90 percent of the adult training participants secured employment within 90 days of graduation, and six months later 88 percent of those individuals are still in the jobs.Read the rest of the FareStart story: Spring/Summer 2014 Saint Francis University Magazine
For Bill Adamucci (economics '66) of Seattle, statistics have always held deep meaning.• 1 in 6 Americans live in poverty• 49 million Americans struggle with hunger• 40% of the food in the U.S. was thrown away last year • 1 out of 3 girls/women have been sexually assaulted• 1 out of 5 boys/men have been sexually assaulted(data from the 2011 U.S. census, U.S. Department of Agriculture, U.S. Department of Justice)As overwhelming as these figures are, Adamucci has an unshakable faith that people have the power to transform the lives behind these statistics. Adamucci —a financial executive with a strong background in mergers and acquisitions, as well as in the fundraising arena—has raised more than $40 million dollars over the past five years for non-profit organizations."I did well in my career and I feel it is important to give back to the community," Adamucci explains. He shares his "time, talent, and treasure" to make a difference. With so many needs in the world, Adamucci recommends developing a giving philosophy to keep from becoming overwhelmed and to maximize your impact. "For me personally, issues of homelessness and the disenfranchised speak to me," Adamucci shares in explaining his giving philosophy. "Everybody has a right to a safe place at night, to have food to eat, and the opportunity to change their lives for the better."By sharing his time, talent, and treasure (and by encouraging others to do the same) he has assisted in building new facilities for food banks, Union Gospel Missions, a drug rehab center, YMCA , HeadStart, and Catholic Charities. He has served as the chairman of several capital campaigns including one for his church, Unity of Bellevue that raised $800,000, and another for FareStart that raised $12.5 million for a new restaurant/training facility. He also holds governing board positions with FareStart and Rainier Scholars (a college prep program for underserved youth of color) as well as advisory board positions with Treehouse (a resource for foster children), and the King County Sexual Assault Resource Center. While giving back has always been important to him, the profitable sale of his company allowed his philanthropic talents to move to a whole new level. In 1994, Adamucci moved to Seattle where he met his wife (and charitable partner) Janette through a blind date set up by mutual friends. Megan Karch, CEO of FareStart, is one of the Seattle non-profits organizers who is happy to have Adamucci in Seattle. She first met him when he came in for a Guest Chef Night at FareStart. "He left a tip that I noticed," she jokes. He has since become an invaluable member of the FareStart family. Adamucci didn't begin life with the ability to write large checks for charity. He came from a working class family that instilled upon him the value of volunteering time. "Growing up we didn't have a lot of money, but Mom and Dad always found ways to help. Then when I went on to Saint Francis, I found the same service philosophy," Adamucci sharesFinding his way to Saint Francis CollegeCollege wasn't the obvious path for Adamucci. He was a middle of the road student at Father Judge High School for boys in urban Philadelphia. No one in his family had ever gone to college and no one at his school really pushed the matter. Still Adamucci knew that he was meant to be college-bound. The school counselor simply handed him a thick book filled with text-listings of potential colleges. As he was going through this tedious search process, he found a sheet with a simple grid. Saint Francis College, as it was then known, "hit all of my checkboxes." It was co-ed (a big plus after attending an all-boys school), it was Catholic, and it was out of town. "I love my family, but I was ready for an adventure." So the adventure began as Adamucci enrolled without even visiting campus. "As soon as I arrived on campus, I felt like I belonged," he recalls. Saint Francis College proved the perfect place for Adamucci to develop his leadership and entrepreneurial skills along with healthy philanthropic interests. "I had great learning opportunities on campus and my interest in fundraising grew after joining the campus-based Stokes Foundation," he shares. Maurice Stokes '55 was an all-star college basketball player, turned pro, who suffered a paralyzing brain injury on the court.
Eventually Adamucci became chair of the foundation that was created after Stokes' accident. One of his best college memories was meeting Stokes when he returned to campus.

Brown & Brown Inc. Stock Upgraded (BRO)
TheStreet) -- Brown & Brown (NYSE: BRO) has been upgraded by TheStreet Ratings from hold to buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, reasonable valuation levels and expanding profit margins. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had lackluster performance in the stock itself. Highlights from the ratings report include:NEW YORK (
- The revenue growth came in higher than the industry average of 7.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 5.2%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- BRO's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.16 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels. Along with the favorable debt-to-equity ratio, the company maintains an adequate quick ratio of 1.43, which illustrates the ability to avoid short-term cash problems.
- 36.40% is the gross profit margin for BROWN & BROWN INC which we consider to be strong. Regardless of BRO's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, BRO's net profit margin of 17.00% significantly outperformed against the industry.
- BROWN & BROWN INC' earnings per share from the most recent quarter came in slightly below the year earlier quarter. This company has reported somewhat volatile earnings recently. We feel it is likely to report a decline in earnings in the coming year. During the past fiscal year, BROWN & BROWN INC increased its bottom line by earning $1.13 versus $1.09 in the prior year. For the next year, the market is expecting a contraction of 2.6% in earnings ($1.10 versus $1.13).

Footage of Katt Williams' shenanigans in Sacramento has hit the internet.
Not only did Katt lead cops on a three-wheeled chase through Sacramento on Sunday, he also found time to stop off at a Target store where he popped an employee in the face and naturally, TMZ has footage of the face-to-hand contact.
There's no audio, so we can't tell what the argument is about — but by the looks of the employee's body language before the wallop (placing his hand on his chest) the guy wasn't looking for a fight.
Then out of nowhere Katt winds up and slaps him in the face at which point the employee pulls out his phone and, according to an eye witness, he calls police.
Video of the aftermath surfaced on the Internet this week, showing Katt making his getaway in an electric cart before police arrive.

Reviews by monkeyminhy
God only knowsmonkeyminhy | Sept. 29, 2013 | Review of BioShock Infinite NA Post - PC
Bioshock games are well known for their consistently hyper-visual introductions that engage the gamer immediately. Infinite is really no different, as it continues the tried and true formula almost step-by-step. In terms of graphics, to say this game is simply beautiful does a bit of a disservice to what must have been a tireless labor of love for the developers. Each frame has clearly been painstakingly attended to, creating vibrant and breathtaking vistas to behold in nearly all directions. Even if you aren't a huge fan of the gameplay, the visuals themselves are worth the price of admission here. The level of interactivity, however, is where the game lacks. From the gunplay, to conversing with npcs, there's always a sense of stoic idleness in the way characters interact with you. Objects in the environment seldom move, or rather are impervious to gunfire, and most npcs will only stare at you dead-eyed even as you draw your pistol, it seems the only way to get them to animate is to start firing. Does that mean Infinite is a bad game? Certainly not, the story, though convoluted at times, is still rich and engrossing, and your relationship with at least one character in the game is almost enough to forgive the complete lack of any others. In terms of what a game ought to be, the general gameplay is admittedly a been-there-done-that affair, but is by no means a deal breaker. Npcs could have been fleshed out more, but again, once you reach the meat of the game, it becomes a non-issue. Play the game for its story, for its artistic flare, and certainly for the way it might ultimately make you feel. The faults of this game may ruin the experience for some, and if you want your action and shooting to be on the cutting edge, then this game likely won't be your cup of tea. But if you, like me, enjoy taking a journey for where it takes you, then you may just be dazzled and delighted by what you experience.

Alec Baldwin disses Lindsay Lohan
While many celebrities are sending their well-wishes to Freckles via Twitter and the public eye, not everyone is brave enough to tell us how they really feel. And leave it to the feisty Alec Baldwin to do just that. This weekend Alec spoke at the 30 years of PETA gala and confessed his love for Blake Lively (and his desire to see the television star nude) and his disgust with Freckles.
Check out what Alec said about Lilo and Blake after the jump!
Baldwin has a thing for Blake Lively and he believes that she would be the perfect gal to pose for a naked PETA campaign. But he claims it isn't because he wants to see get freak nasty with her. He explains, "These younger girls, whether they get naked or not, are the biggest stars, who are the role models. I'm a big fan of [Blake Lively]. I think she's a really really gorgeous woman, very stylish. These are the ones who have all the influence."
He adds, presumably referring to Lilo, "There are certain people who, I won't name, but they are in and out of rehab, they're getting arrested for drug use and they're twittering about their drug problem – it's a shame. I think those people had a real opportunity to fill a certain role in society and they didn't necessarily step up, but those that are I think it's a great thing if they get involved with anti-fur or anti-animal testing."
And that Lady Gaga meat dress? Alec has something to say about that too! He states, "I didn't understand it. What was the purpose? Was she pro-meat or against meat? I didn't understand it."
Well at least he is honest!

History, Growth and Development
The first known permanent European settlement of Santa Rosa was the homestead of the Carrillo family, in-laws to Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo, who settled the Sonoma pueblo and Petaluma area. During the Mexican period, the family of Dona Maria Carrillo built an adobe house on their land grant, the Rancho Cabeza de Santa Rosa, just east of what later became downtown Santa Rosa.
Allegedly, however, before the Carrillos built their adobe in the 1830s, Spanish / Mexican settlers from nearby Sonoma and other settlements to the south raised livestock in the area and slaughtered animals at the fork of the Santa Rosa Creek and Matanzas Creek, near the intersection of Santa Rosa Avenue and Sonoma Avenue. Because of its use as a slaughtering place...the confluence came to be called La Matanza. This is supposedly the origin of the name of Matanzas Creek.
After California became a state, Santa Rosa grew steadily early on. According to the U.S. Census, in 1870 Santa Rosa was the 8th largest city in California, and county seat of one of the most populous counties in the state. Despite heavy devastation in the earthquake of 18 April 1906, which essentially destroyed the entire Victorian downtown, the city's population did not greatly suffer.
Famed director Alfred Hitchcock filmed his thriller Shadow of a Doubt in Santa Rosa in 1943; the film gives glimpses of Santa Rosa in the 1940s. Many of the buildings in downtown Santa Rosa that are seen in the film no longer exist, due to major reconstruction following an earthquake in September 1969. However, some like the rough-stone Northwestern Pacific Railroad depot and the prominent Empire Building, built in 1910 with its gold-topped clock tower, do still survive.
Santa Rosa grew substantially in the 25 years after the end of World War II, in 1945. The population enlarged by 2/3 between 1950 and 1970, an average of 1,000 new residents a year over the 20 years. Some of the increase was from immigration, and some from annexation of portions of the surrounding area.
When the City Council adopted the City's first modern General Plan in 1991, the population was about 113,000. In the 21 years since 1970, Santa Rosa had grown by about 3,000 residents a year — triple the average growth during the previous twenty years.
Today's population is more than 167,000.

Kessik IV was the fourth planet in the Kessik planetary system. This system, located within the territory of the United Federation of Planets, was in the Alpha Quadrant. Kessik IV was where a colony had been located. B'Elanna Torres grew up on Kessik IV, where she and her mother Miral were the only Klingons. (VOY: "Faces")
John Torres later visited Kessik IV for some business in 2378. He was surprised at what the old Torres family house looked like. (VOY: "Author, Author")
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 64, "United Federation of Planets I"), the Kessik system was located in or near Federation space, and was one of the three points of the Delta Triangle. Primary was a Class G star with a magnitude of +1, which was a hundred times brighter than Sol. Kessik IV, and its sister planet Kessik III, were listed as member planets of the Federation in 2378.


text: How spy technology is taking to the cloud Technology 10 August 10 by Duncan Geere CC-licensed: Kables Secret agents in various countries across the world have long been at the cutting edge of technological developments. By studying how different spy agencies use technology, it's often been possible to glean an insight into the future.But in recent years, technological growth has outpaced spy innovation, and so their latest gadgets haven't been coming from a Q figure, but instead from the outside world. Speaking to Wired.co.uk, Dave Thomas, a former SAS operative, explained exactly how spies are using the same type of technology that you're likely using right now to write your emails, host your photos and remotely access your PC."Whereas before you would have a camera that would be the size of a quarter of a matchbox that could store maybe half an hour's worth of data video or footage, nowadays the same size device can literally contain weeks of information."What has changed is the ability to remotely access that information, rather than having to retrieve it from tapes or hard drives. Being able to turn stuff on and off from thousands of miles away, the other side of the world, is a key thing."But anti-spying organisations are also employing the same tricks, says Thomas, by stuffing miniaturised communications equipment into their bugging tools, as well as loading up equipment known to be used by spies with keyloggers and other tools normally associated with cybercriminals."If two spies are looking to transfer information between one-another, whether through coded messages or phone conversations, anti-spying agencies have employed technological advances to jam these mobile phone, but also monitor them at the same time."There are various technology and software programmes out there that you can download to mobile phones and computers that literally will be able to monitor something and make an exact copy of the email that you're making or the text that you're sending."So with technology being employed on both sides of the divide, is it easier or harder to be a spy today? "I would say it definitely makes the job easier with the technology that we have," says Thomas, adding, "I remember first starting surveillance operations in the early 1990s and the technology then was literally by a pager. You'd get the info by a pager then run to a phone box to make a phone call. It was only then that time went on that you'd get the brick Motorola handset come through to give you immediate access."In the past if you took a picture of someone you'd have to get it developed, then scanned, then possibly send it by email if you were lucky enough to have a computer. Nowadays of course you can take a picture on very high quality definitions of mobile phones and can immediately email the images, audio or video to the other side of the world."Finally, perhaps the biggest influence on the industry has been a generation growing up with Bond movies, the Bourne trilogy, or films such as From Paris With Love, which was recently released on DVD and download. "Films have also made spying much more accessible, particularly with regards to how they have recently portrayed spies using technology like the iPhone," said Thomas. "It certainly makes people think about the world of spying and what it would be like to be a spy." Edited by Nate Lanxon Latest on wired.co.uk

I have found that living life as a married bisexual can be very isolating. My wife is very helpful and understanding when we talk about my bisexuality .That being said as my wife is not bisexual herself she does not fully understand some of the issues I face everyday dealing with same sex attraction from within the confines of our marriage. I want to be able to talk with other bisexual married men who understand the very unique struggles we face living life with sexual attraction to both women and men. Because we are married we are invisible and look just like any other married heterosexual male why would anyone think otherwise?
Wouldn't it be cool if there was a way to identify ourselves as bisexual to other like minded bisexuals? The problem is heterosexuals don't have to deal with these issues so they go through life not really caring what other peoples sexual orientation is. So we really cant go around saying "Hello nice to meet you Im Mark and Im a bisexual. and you are???? " As a result I dont know any bisexuals in my local community.
Of course if I wear a bi flag , tie, lapel pin or bi flag Tshirt then everyone will know. Times are changing but most people do not want others to wear their sexuality on their shirt sleeve. In addition there are many who still would not approve or who would judge me.
I wish there was a secret handshake that only other bisexuals would recognize so that we could easily convey "Im one of you to each other". If not a handshake perhaps a color or a bracelet. Obviously whatever we choose it would not remain a secret for long. The way our media is it would be on the evening news and soon everyone would know our secret code.
"Mark, Isnt that the bisexual lavender shirt I just saw it on the news last night, why would you wear that????" So while a secret code is something to wish for its not very realistic. I will have to keep working on my bidar. If people think gaydar is full of false readings just wait until you try the bidar version. I havnt been able to get mine to work at all.
Well off to order that Lavender shirt , maybe I can get a few weeks before everyone and their brother knows exactly what my secret shirt means.
Have a great day.

TO put it simply, I despise the tabloid press.
I have nothing but disdain for the agendas that they pedal, follow and create and the lives they are willing to ruin for the sale of "a good story."
They have found Luis Suarez to be "a good story" more or less since the day he arrived at Liverpool, bringing up the World Cup "controversy" when Suarez did what 99.99% of professional footballers would have done in that situation and handled the ball on the line to stop a Ghana goal in the last minute of extra-time.
Followed by controversies over diving, poor tackles, and allegations of racism, Suarez has been a back page regular for the best part of two years.
But the latest incident has just highlighted exactly why the press are bandwagonning against the Uruguayan. Following the very clear handball goal that was given at the FA Cup tie against Mansfield Town, the knives are out again. After a period of relative quiet and goodwill in which Suarez has scored goals a plenty, the parasites in the press have dived in like a Paul Scholes two-footed lunge to capitalise on the latest Suarez saga.
Even the broadsheet press are on the bandwagon, with this gem from a cretin by the name of James Lawton, as reported on L4L here yesterday:
"He looked sheepish enough not to repeat the claim of his fellow South American Diego Maradona that it was the work of God but you didn't have to be a supporter of Mansfield to believe that he had come off the bench with diabolical intent."
Of all the sensationalist nonsense written about Suarez in recent months, this one is probably at the top of my list. "Diabolical intent." So basically, he is accusing Luis Suarez of coming off the bench to deliberately cause trouble to Mansfield.
This is an accusation that the club should be taking the Independent to task for. I'm not one for the Ferguson approach of banning unfriendly journalists, but for me, this imbecile should be banned from the club. That is an absolutely incredible comment to make.
I'd say that I want to know what the club is going to do about it, but our last Director of Communications was too busy chasing off parody Twitter accounts to deal with comments like this.
How can anyone determine that a player is going to go onto a pitch to cause bother?
Simply put, he can't.
Lawton goes on with his lunacy though:
"Once again, and after one of the most brilliant phases of his extraordinary career, he showed that for some men, however uncomplicated their gifts, doing the right thing, as opposed to simply gaining any kind of advantage, is the most difficult of challenges."
As the Mansfield manager Paul Cox said:
"For me to come out and say something like that I think would be quite cheap. If it had gone in the other end and one of our players had done it I think we'd have accepted it. This is the FA Cup, this is the beauty of it, sometimes it goes for you, sometimes it doesn't. It's a beautiful game and for me he's a fabulous talent and for this country we're lucky to have him here. I don't think we should call him for doing something that I think 99 out of 100 players would do."
If the press acted with the class and dignity that Paul Cox did then I wouldn't be sat here venting my spleen.
This has turned into yet another massive witch hunt and it's gone beyond a joke now. What this Lawton buffoon is asking is for Suarez to disallow his own goal. The referee is the one who needs to take the blame and additionally he is the only one who can disallow the goal, not Suarez.
I eagerly await the next time a blatantly offside goal is given for the guilty party to sprint to the linesman and demand he stick his flag up. The next time you speed in a 30mph zone with no speed cameras or police around, I hope you're going to turn yourself in at the local nick for your three points and fine.
Gordon Strachan said it best:
"If you park on a double-yellow line and get away with it, you don't phone up the council and say you owe £85"
But no, we live in an era where only Luis Suarez does anything wrong. The press have dived on this with glee and I genuinely believe that the club need to do something to stop these parasites from writing their bile. How many hacks have called Suarez out for kissing his wrist when THAT IS HIS CELEBRATION?!
Suarez has often spoken that booing motivates him to do well. The merciless and downright xenophobic approach of the newspapers is rallying me even further behind Luis than I ever have been.
But make sure you tune in next time to hear/read Jon Champion, James Lawton et al for the next environmental disaster, political outrage or financial irresponsibility. Because it is, apparently, all Suarez's fault.
Follow us on Twitter here: @live4Liverpool and 'Like' us on Facebook
The main concern is the potential this all has for the great man to turn his back on England…
Let's look at it:
Racist comments – The man is quarter black himself. No context and a kangaroo court followed.
Handshake – Evra clearly held his hand down expecting Suarez to go for him, in the split second that followed Suarez thinks well i'm not going out of my way to shake the hand of a guy that's wrongly labelled me a racist so move on.
Diving – Wake up you idiots… This happens all over the field in every game of every week… And how many penalties has he received after going down in the box?
Handball – non issue. By the way he kicked it into the back of the net, he wasn't expecting it to be paid. He kisses his wrists because that's what he does for his daughter…. Get over it.
Hypocritical parasites that may drive out if not the best, one of the best 3 players in the country.
You are right about all except the diving . We all love Suarez but there is no need to be untruthful , its makes you look biased . Suarez was diving ,and diving quite a bit before , its not nice and shouldn't be excused .
We are asking for fairness for Suarez ,and rightfully so . We must be fair about the diving too
Another Independent hacker by the name of Mark Steele has taken up the gauntlet from Mr Know it all Lawton and is also attackink Suarez and Liverpool fans.
When people call Saurez a racist, to they have no idea what they are talking about. The word 'negrito' is nickname for black people in Uruguay if not most of South America and has no racist meaning what so ever. Obviously living in a western society it sounds racist and with 'cry baby Evra' making false accusations at the hearing the FA banned him, wrongfully. I've always believed he is innocent and always will, if the FA took both sides and Saurez was not banned then I think the tabloids wouldn't pick on him as much and it would just be like a Bale or Ronaldo situation.
I feel for Saurez, he's been trying so hard to change his image and just get on playing football but he does say critism spurs him on and what better way to get back at the biggest the critics of them all, Manure fans.
Come on Saurez YNWA.
Lets be honest here . Did you read the whole report ?
We know Suarez is not a racist , everyone admitted that . but he was trying to wind Evra up by using the color of his skin . Thats not being racist in my opinion ,but it was naughty in this country .

Our Opinion: Spring cleanup on a statewide scale
Friday, April 5, 2013
Spring cleanup is among the chores better to have done than to do.
Although the task may be enormous, the results are gratifying.
When it comes to cleaning up our communities, roadways, parks, rivers and streams, many hands lighten the load.
In keeping with that philosophy, the Missouri departments of Conservation and Transportation again this year are inviting people to participate in the "No MOre Trash! Bash."
The statewide event continues through the month of April.
Last year's cleanup attracted 1,000 groups totaling more than 21,000 volunteers who collected in excess of 128,000 bags of litter, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
In addition, educational efforts were conducted at schools, community events, Earth Day celebrations and rest areas.
"It's time to get outside, get the litter picked up, and make our state beautiful this spring," said Stacy Armstrong, MoDOT roadside management specialist. "The trash bash is a great way to get organized and actually make a difference."
Conservation officials point out litter can be lethal to wildlife.
Birds, fish, turtles, and other animals can get tangled in plastic six-pack holders and fishing line, the agency reports, adding littering is punishable by fines up to $1,000 and up to a year in jail.
Missourians are invited to take part in this year's activities. To learn more or to sign up, visit www.nomoretrash.org or call 888-ASK-MoDOT (275-6636).
The greater the participation, the sooner the chore will be complete for all Missourians, and our visitors, to enjoy.

NEW MATERIAL: ShetkaSTONE
Posted By Evelyn Lee On February 4, 2006 @ 7:12 am In Innovation,Recycled Materials,Sustainable Materials | 12 Comments
Recycling paper is often just about creating more (you guessed it) paper, but a Minnesotan company by the name of All Paper Recycling has been taking recycled paper and converting it into a lovely and versatile new building material called ShetkaSTONE [2]. Completely made from all types of recycled paper (including waxed paper, glossy paper, and magazines), plants, and cloth fibers ShetkaSTONE [2] can be used to create anything from doors, counter tops, benches, molding, soap dishes, and more.
The strength and thickness of Shetkastone can be controlled during the creation process. The end product can go through any variety of construction methods including being sawed, sanded, glued, nailed and screwed together, as well as finished by sealants currently used on wood and stone.
Paper products account for 40% of the solid waste in the US, and only a small portion, (white and newspaper) are actually being recycled. The mission of All Paper Recycling, Inc. is "to reduce pre-consumer and post consumer waste through the creation of environmentally responsible products and building materials made from wastepaper, cloth or plant fiber."
