Another senseless killing has taken place in Beaver Falls, Pa…leaving a little girl without her mother. Her murder took place over words these teen thugs didn't cotton to. This is absolutely outrageous to say the least…unfortunately, I don't see despicable crimes like this on the decrease whatsoever.
After your read and watch the reports about this murder, I'm curious to know what you think should happen to each of these individuals via the legal system.
This is report also has a slide show included as well. – This is via WTAE:
BEAVER FALLS, Pa. —
Two 14-year-old boys are wanted in the senseless killing of a young mother who had words with them as they harassed her boyfriend walking down the street on Saturday afternoon.
Kayla Peterson's boyfriend, Bill Bailey, said the situation began when he walked out of J's News at about 3:15 p.m.
"My friend came in and got cigarettes, and three young kids followed him. They kept following him and asking him for a cigarette," said Brock Edwards, who was working at the convenience store.
Bailey said the teens followed him, harassing him while he walked the two blocks home to 13th Street. When he got there, Bailey said the 22-year-old Peterson came outside and told the boys to get a job.
"The next thing you know, they just pull out a gun and shoot for no reason. It was just over a cigarette," Edwards said. "Now, my friend lost his girlfriend — an amazing, amazing girl, and she was such a good mother, too — and now her child has to grow up without her mother being there."
Bailey said he held the mother of his 23-month-old girl, and as she lay dying, Peterson told him that she loved him and their daughter.
"She didn't even move when it happened," Bailey told Channel 4 Action News' Sheldon Ingram. "She just said, 'I can't feel my legs.' She wanted to lay down, so I laid her down."
He admitted trying to explain to his daughter, Ellieonna, what happened to her mother has not been easy.
"I just tell her her mom was an angel and was taken away way too soon. She devoted her life to my daughter," he said.
Bailey told Ingram he knows the teens police are searching for and played basketball with one of their dads.
Beaver Falls police have charged 14-year-olds Todavia Cleckley and Marcus Velasquez and 13-year-old Kyle Goosby Jr. with criminal homicide and other charges
Beaver Falls Police Chief Charles Jones said Goosby is in custody. Police are still searching for the other two suspects.
"These kids are very dangerous. They've already proven that they're dangerous, and we would like to see them off the streets as soon as possible," said Jones. "Any time a life is taken, it's hard to deal with, but especially around the Christmas season, it's that much more difficult, especially when it's a young mother."
Beaver County District Attorney Anthony Berosh said he intends to prosecute the boys as adults.
You can be sure the victim-hood game will be used in their defense. Wouldn't be surprised if the gun issue will come out too…it's got to be the guns fault don't ya know…anyone and anything is to blame other than these low-life thugs!

Parent set example in raising children to be drug free
April 23, 2009
By Brittany Carlson (USAG Stuttgart)
STUTTGART, Germany -- Children can easily find drugs; the ingredients for a high can be as close as a bathroom cabinet or a corner drugstore.
However, parents still have the largest role in their child's decisions regarding drugs, according to last week's Family University workshop on keeping children drug free.
"We need to set the example," Adolescent Substance Abuse Counselor Jasmin Coty advised parents during the class. "They are listening."
During the class, parents and guests talked about which drugs were popular during their childhood and what they did for fun. They also discussed how much responsibility parents should take for their child's decisions.
Coty said parents' habits send messages to children on whether it is OK to use drugs and alcohol to relax. "Being aware of what we say around our children is also very important," she said.
"Parents should provide opportunities for children to learn life skills, such as decision-making and peer refusal skills, in order for children to be able to handle real-life situations," said Coty.
She said children can be pressured by peers to smoke tobacco, drink, try drugs, shoplift, bully others, vandalize or cheat at school. "It is important that teens learn decision-making skills, and that parents provide opportunities to have dialog with their children about what difficult peer pressure situations exist and how they handle these difficult situations," Coty added.
Although the majority of students in the Stuttgart Military Community do not use drugs, the most popular substances are marijuana and alcohol, said Randy Zamerinsky-Lussier, an ASACS counselor.
"More kids say 'no' because they're invested in their education," she said. "That's a testament to our community."
However, parents should still be aware of the drug trends their children face today, she added. These include children taking over-the-counter drugs, or using someone else's prescription drugs to get high, according to a study from the University of Michigan.
"It's scary to hear what's out there," said Ilka Matze, an Army Community Service employee and mother of two. "You have to communicate and make time with your child."
In order to detect whether their child is using drugs, parents should look for changes in their child, such as their physical appearance or behavior, Zamerinsky said.
JoAn Stopa-Beecroft attended Family University to understand the dangers that her 14-year-old daughter faces. "[I learned] just how to be a better parent - to help my daughter face the pressures of substance abuse," she said.
No matter the trends, parents can help their children refuse drugs and alcohol by showing them how, Coty said. "If you're the healthy adult role model, that's half the battle. Kids are going to do what they see."

College and University Business Administration, 7th edition
NACUBO is developing the next edition of the core reference work for all phases of higher education management...CUBA. Rather than make you wait three years for the hardbound 1,000-plus page book, we're publishing individual chapters as online publications as they are completed.
CUBA 7 is sponsored by:
Complimentary Chapters Available
In order to access the complimentary chapter, fill in the required information on the individual pages.
As core members of executive management, chief business officers are key players in campus administration. In the area of debt management, the chief business officer will likely have primary responsibility for educating the board and internal constituents about the reasons and consequences for selecting a particular financing strategy. Business officers must often explain the rationale for debt and the benefits of debt to audiences as well as manage the entire debt program.
Learn more in the complimentary Strategic Debt Management chapter of College and University Business Administration.
In most cases, purchasing is the second largest expenditure on campus after personnel - so how can chief business officers take a more strategic and collaborative approach to create savings? Especially since the procurement process does not follow a "one-size-fits-all" model. The process is unique for many reasons: The marketplace responds differently to higher education; institutional needs change in response to research or new programs; and higher education competes for faculty, students, and funding.
Learn more in the complimentary Procurement chapter of College and University Business Administration.
This chapter was written in conjunction with
There are two ways to approach governance in higher education. The first is through a study of governing boards, delegation of authority, and accountability. The alternative approach is shared governance, a deceptively antiseptic term that obscures the complex and sometimes messy realities of institutional history, real and presumed faculty prerogatives, and opaque decision-making.

As core members of executive management, chief business officers are key players in campus administration. But they also have a crucial role to play in complying to the major federal tax requirements imposed on institutions of higher education.

Business officers have a crucial role to play in support of the student financial services (SFS) process.

How does ten years go by so fast? Do you remember life without iPhones (while
listening to music on your iPod), watching Tom Cruise jump up and down on Oprah's
couch, and trying to get around in D.C. during President Bush's second inaugural? And who could forget the time that Screech
(from Save the Bell) came to campus?
From to hanging out at Guapos, to community service events after
Hurricane Katrina, 2005 gave us many great memories. It's time to reconnect, reminisce, and relive

All my life, my brother has always cheered me on from the sidelines in cross country and track, swimming and skiing, basketball and softball.
On Monday, I got to return the favor — as he tore through the streets from Hopkinton to Boston in the 120th running of the Boston Marathon.
From staff reports
The Lawrenceburg Pierian Woman's Club will sponsor The Carlisle Brothers Country Music Duo, a Kentucky Humanities Council Chautauqua presentation, on Tuesday, April 26, at the Anderson County Senior Center, 160 Township Square, Lawrenceburg, at 7 p.m. Admission is free and refreshments will be served.
Lawrenceburg musicians Greg Breeding and Martin Harley will portray the Carlisle Brothers.
It would be stretching things a bit to say Jenni Beasley knew her line drive was going out of the park last Thursday.
"It felt good coming off the bat, but I had never hit a home run before," the Anderson County High School freshman said with a huge smile.
It wasn't just Beasley's first varsity home run, but first one, period. Any level.
The Anderson County girls' tennis team might be growing up if last week's matches are any indication.
The Lady Bearcats, with one senior and a freshman and an eighth-grader being the only players with varsity experience before this season, won two of three matches, defeating Shelby County and Spencer County on the home courts.
Saturday afternoon might have been the first time I have ever seen Bailey Curry smiling after her team lost.
But on a weekend when four of Kentucky's top six high school softball teams got together for games at the highest level, it was Curry who cracked the highest standard.
Curry wasn't happy her sixth-ranked Anderson County team had just dropped one to top-rated McCracken County, but long after that 7-1 final score is forgotten, Bailey Curry's name will be in the state record book.
Shelby County's Bobby Crisp and Spencer Shouse perfectly executed a suicide squeeze in the top of the seventh inning to spark the Rockets to a 7-2 at Anderson County Monday night.
With one out, Crisp placed his bunt perfectly in front of Anderson pitcher Connor Wells. Shouse, who had been breaking from third base on the pitch, easily beat Wells' throw to the plate to break a 2-2 tie. Shouse had reached base when he was hit by a pitch.
Anderson County High School senior Kaci Currens scored 8 points for the West team in the annual East-West All-Star Game, held Saturday at Transylvania University. The game is sponsored by the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches.
Currens' West Team lost 101-99 when Campbell County's Kylie Kramer hit a shot with four seconds to play.
Currens, who has signed with Georgetown College, was selected as the KABC Eighth Region Player of the Year and therefore invited to participate in the game, which pits the stars from regions 1-8 versus regions 9-16.
With some changes coming to Anderson County football, spring practice might take on added significance in 2016.
Approximately 30 boys went through the first week of drills last week as the Bearcats not playing spring sports went through a myriad of drills for the 2016 season.
"We have had a great first week," Anderson coach Mark Peach said Thursday. "We wanted to look at some new things offensively and look at some folds at multiple positions and have been able to do so."

I want to take some cute photos of LO for St. Patricks Day and Easter and I need some ideas for the set-up!
St. Patricks Day- I want to have something green (obviously) either something LO is wearing or in the background. I want to do a "classy/sophisticed" photo if that makes sense? LO will be 9 months old. I need ideas on what to do for backdrop & flooring and what LO should wear and any prop ideas.
Easter- Again, I want a "classy/sophisticated" look. I need ideas for backdrop & flooring and what LO should wear. He will be 10 months. Oh, and some prop ideas. I am not looking to have him playing with some plastic easter eggs KWIM? I don't know how else to describe the look I am trying to get besides "classy/sophisticated".
I just really want some good ideas so I can get the stuff early so I can have it ready when these holiday come. TIA!

This is to all my fellow Dragonriders of Pern fans out there. I'm advertising/whoring out my new most favorite of all rp Weyrs right now, Shura! It's an active little community with extremely nice members, helpful staff, and it's always fun to chat on the cbox. We're currently looking for all sorts of characters, especially candidates as there are eggs on the sands and another gold flight about to happen. Once we get enough candidates, I hear the hatching date will be planned. So do me a huge ass favor and join if you love the series and want to help us out!
P.S. I do a lot of free artwork on my pern forums because I lurv my peeps on there!
Eleven Turns ago, Shura Weyr did not exist. It was then known as Southern Weyr, and in a completely different location. One of the only two weyrs on the Southern Continent, Southern dragonriders were very easygoing.
They were not as worried about the return of Thread as they should have been, like the Weyrs to the North. The ground was grub protected, why should the riders waste time drilling when they could laze around in the sun?
That mentality changed when Thread returned and the dragons and riders were unprepared. Many, many riders and dragons lost their lives that first Threadfall. After that horrible day, the Weyrwoman and Weyrleader began proper drills and practices to combat Thread.
Threadfighting and Queens Rising took up a lot of time in Southern Weyr. The riders were still very relaxed, learning more tricks on how to fight Thread, and turning out young little Weyr-brats like fire-lizards. Southern Flourished for Turns after that first devastating Fall. That was, until the Plague.
Though most believe the Plague came from Akum, the dragons and riders of Southern that survived the horrid disease really didn't have time to care. Dragons and riders died by the dozens, surviving dragons never seemed to stop keening and crying out for their lost brothers and sisters.
Even Southern's Weyrfolk were decimated.
After the Plague seemed to die down, the remaining riders, dragons, and weyrfolk fled the bad memories of Southern Weyr. The now homeless people and dragons sought out an ancient crater to call home. What they found was perfect, The bottom of the crater was warm enough for Egg Hardening, the lake that had formed in the bowl of the crater was large and clear. It even have caves and tunnel systems, which meant that people had lived here before.
The settlers inhabited the crater and came up with a new name, Shura Weyr. As Shura began to flourish, Holds established near it, asking for protection. The dragons that had survived the Plague seemed different, but the people paid it no mind. It had been a rough time for everyone and they all had to work hard to continue their lives as a whole.
Glorinth Rose and laid a very small clutch, what took people by surprise was that the last Egg to hatch, though it needed help, was a White. Whites were not that common, but some had heard a few had been Hatched in other Weyrs. A few riders began to expect that the Plague may have affected the genes of the surviving dragons, but the suspicions died down because no other mutations were found.
After Glorinth Rose again a Turn later and Clutched a Queen Egg, people began to think things had returned to normal. Two Golds was good for the Weyr, meant more dragons and more riders to fight Thread when the second Gold matured.
As the second Gold, Rhaelth, matured though, Glorinth Rose again. After what seemed to be a normal period of gestation, the Gold laid her Eggs and suddenly winked [i]Between,[/i] gone so very suddenly that everyone didn't know what to do. Her rider died of shock the same night, leaving Rhaelth the only Shura Queen.
Now, with Rhaelth ready to Rise as the Senior Queen, the Weyr awaits a new leader, a new clutch, and the Hatching of the Clutch already on the Sands. 20 Eggs wait there for Candidates of both genders, of chosen ages, and of all kinds of backgrounds to Touch and Impress them.
What will happen next?

Frequent double XP events are nothing new for multiplayer shooters and action games. High Moon Studios is taking it a step further with "Transformers: Fall of Cybertron" though by announcing Monday that double XP will be permanent for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC title.
"Fall of Cybertron players can now accelerate their multiplayer experience, indefinitely," a High Moon Studios rep wrote on the developer's blog. "The XP rate has been set to 2X. This is the perfect opportunity for new players to join the elite ranks or for experienced players to level up new classes."
"Transformers: Fall of Cybertron" was released for all platforms back in August and received decent reviews. The multiplayer component features Team Deathmatch, Conquest, Capture the Flag and Head Hunter modes with 10 maps available. There's also the co-op Escalation mode where four players must survive 15 waves of enemies.
Players can customize their Transformer across four classes including parts from the Dinobots and Decepticons.

Lesson Zero

Sisterhooves Social
The episode was #1 in the We Heart Ponies Fan Favorite Mare-a-thon, in the leadup to Hearts and Hooves Day.
During the episode, a few notes from Edvard Grieg's In the Hall of the Mountain King plays occasionally, such as when Rainbow Dash is about to play her lightning prank on Twilight.
Character appearancesThis episode marks the first appearance of Princess Luna since Friendship is Magic, part 2, which premiered the same date a year prior. Luna has undergone a slight redesign that features a flowing mane similar to Princess Celestia's. The episode also marks Zecora's third appearance in the series, not including the flashback in The Return of Harmony Part 2.
This is the first episode in season two where one of the main characters is missing, in this case Rarity. She did feature in the episode's script, but her scene was cut. In the script, she is still working on her costume when Twilight takes Luna to her to get a makeover and help her look less intimidating. Rarity overdoes Luna's outfit so much that she tears it off. Pinkie, seeing Luna with a piece of dress in her mouth, leaps to the conclusion that she ate a princess and runs off terrified.[2][3]
This is the second episode to air without the educational/informative rating, after Lesson Zero.
A billboard referring to the Halloween episode has been put up in Los Angeles. In it, it shows Pinkie Pie with a Spike plushie in front of a TV screen, a parody of the poster for Poltergeist.[4]
The aura the emanates from Twilight's horn when she performs magic has changed back from red to purple. Only this time, the color is slightly lighter than in season one. However, it is not consistent over the course of the episode, as it also shows up as red in certain scenes.

The episode begins with Twilight Sparkle showing off her hoof-made "Star Swirl the Bearded" costume to Spike. He doesn't know who she's dressed as until she tells him, and she scolds him for not having read the book on obscure unicorn history she gave him. A group of trick-or-treaters comes to the door: several ponies including Pipsqueak, Granny Smith, and Pinkie Pie as the foals' chaperone, stating that she's never too old for free candy. Twilight asks Pinkie if she likes her costume, but is disheartened when Pinkie, although she thinks it's very nice, also doesn't recognize the design.Twilight, indignant that no one recognizes such an important historical character, walks through the market with Spike. Pinkie and Pipsqueak meet them, and show off their stash of candy. Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash, dressed up as a Shadowbolt, covertly pushes a thundercloud over Pinkie Pie and causes it to fire off a very loud lightning bolt, scaring both Pinkie Pie and Spike. Howling with laughter, Dash tells a disapproving Twilight that Nightmare Night is the best time of the year for pranks, then takes off with her thundercloud to prank another group she has spotted. Twilight and Spike meet up with Applejack, who is running the apple bob, but this is ruined when Derpy, dressed in large paper bags, pops out of the tub and drains it. The Mayor then makes an announcement, telling the trick-or-treaters, which include the costumed Cutie Mark Crusaders, to follow Zecora to the statue of Night Mare Moon in order for a storytelling, to which Twilight and Spike tag along.
Zecora tells the legend of Night Mare Moon, and explains to the group that they she requires a donation of candy in order to please her. At just that moment, however, Princess Luna arrives, in a flurry of dark clouds and her own royal carriage chauffeured by two of her Pegasus guards, which scares everyone off but Twilight.
Princess Luna arrivesPinkie Pie and her group of foals run through town, as a cloaked Princess Luna arrives at the marketplace. Everyone bows down in fearful respect of the Princess. Twilight, however, shows no fear and is eager to meet her. After her cloak impressively disperses as a flock of bats, Princess Luna makes a speech in a very strong and dramatic voice, explaining that she only seeks the love and affection of her subjects, and wishes to improve the festival and the way it portrays her. Unfortunately, her presentation only serves to further intimidate everyone.
- "Citizens of Ponyville! We have graced your tiny village with our presence, so that you might behold the real princess of the night! A creature of nightmare is no longer, but instead a pony who desires your love and admiration! Together we shall change this dreadful celebration into a bright and glorious feast! "
- — Princess Luna in a booming voice
Fluttershy refuses to answer her door at first, exclaiming that she has no candy and that she doesn't want visitors on Nightmare Night. When Twilight reassures her there's nothing to be worried about, she opens the door, only to dash back inside at sight of the Princess. Twilight forces Fluttershy out of her home, and Princess Luna tries to ask her how to improve her tone, but only further scares Fluttershy. Twilight finally blocks the door and forces Fluttershy to briefly coach the Princess. When Princess Luna feels that her tone has improved, she thanks Fluttershy by hugging and exhaling her thanks at her but accidentally scared the wind out of Fluttershy and scares off Pinkie Pie and her group of fillies once again.
"Fun"The scene cross-fades to Ponyville, where the villagers enjoy the festivities, play games, and dance. The designs from The Best Night Ever of the "fancy band" that Pinkie Pie spots on stage are used again in this episode, wearing scarecrow costumes and colored differently. Their instruments are different, but of related classification: the grand piano is replaced with an upright piano, the brass instrument with a harmonica, the bowed instrument with a fiddle, and the harp with a banjo.
- "Fun? What is this "fun" thou speakest of?"
- — Princess Luna
Princess Luna and Twilight find Applejack in the town square, and Twilight asks her to offer suggestions to Luna on how to be more accepted. Her top tip is to have fun. Luna doesn't know what "fun" is, but she uncertainly tries her hoof at several carnival games. Enjoying the games, Luna shows her surprise and appreciation, and the town begins to regard her more warmly. She even goes so far as to tell her subjects to do away with the formality of "Princess" and simply call her Luna.
However, when Luna rushes to save Pipsqueak from drowning in the apple-bobbing tub, Pinkie Pie mistakenly thinks she is eating the foal, and once again the ponies draw away in fear. Luna tries again to obtain trust with fun but goes a bit too far and causes havoc across the town. Fed up and offended, she declares that Nightmare Night is canceled forever, out of anger caused by her failure to look good to her subjects.
- "Since you choose to fear your princess rather than love her and dishonor her with this insulting celebration, we decree that Nightmare Night shall be canceled! Forever!"
- — Princess Luna in a booming voice
Twilight once again sets out to find Princess Luna, and finds her walking sadly across a bridge, disappointed by her inability to win the hearts of her subjects. She rejects Twilight's help at first, so Twilight finds another method. Luring Pinkie Pie into an alleyway with a trail of candy, she tells her that Princess Luna is no longer evil, and to stop shrieking in fear whenever she sees her. Pinkie Pie agrees to this, but as she is about to shake hooves with Princess Luna and make peace, Rainbow Dash inopportunely plays her lightning prank, scaring Pinkie Pie, who believes it is Princess Luna who made the lightning. Twilight blocks Pinkie Pie's path by teleporting in the way and pins her down, adamantly telling her that Princess Luna has not come to harm them. However, Pinkie Pie tells her that she is in fact fully aware that Luna won't actually "gobble up" anyone, but she is only being scared because it is fun to be scared. This sets off a plan in Twilight's mind.As the ponies clean up the mess in the town square, Zecora and the Mayor remind the foals that they still have their offerings of candy to give to Night Mare Moon. Once they have left their offerings at the statue of Night Mare Moon, Princess Luna makes a dramatic appearance in her darker aspect, and scares them once again. Once they have been scared off, she transforms back into Princess Luna, but is still afraid that Twilight's plan did not work. However, Pipsqueak then tugs on her mane to ask her something: even if there's not going to be any more Nightmare Nights, could she still come back next year to scare them? Princess Luna looks past him only to see all the other foals looking hopefully at her from a bush. To her puzzlement, Pipsqueak confirms that the way that she scared them is really fun, and that for him Nightmare Night is his favorite night of the year. Smiling, Luna proclaims that Nightmare Night will have to be reinstated; Pipsqueak tells her that she's his favorite Princess with a hug, and when he tells the other foals that she agreed, a delighted cheer goes up. Twilight tells her that they really do like her after all.
Back in town, Luna participates in more carnival games, personally accepts more candy offerings from the foals, and also has fun scaring some more ponies. At the end of the episode, Rainbow Dash once again shows up with her thundercloud, and when she is eagerly about to scare Twilight and Spike with lightning, Princess Luna gives her a taste of her own prank and scares off Dash in exactly the same manner.
Twilight learned that one of the best things about friendship is to give it to others and help it find themselves. Also, everyone in Ponyville learned that even if someone is a little intimidating or even scary, when you offer them their friendship, they'll discover a whole new pony underneath.
The following is a sortable chart of costumed characters that appear on the episode, by time of first appearance. Times are approximate.
|Costumes chart
Additionally, Rarity is dressed as the Bride of Frankenstein in a storyboard panel, but in the completed episode, she was replaced by Golden Harvest.
Ace and Granny Smith don't wear costumes despite going to the festival. Fluttershy isn't costumed either, while holed up at home. Princess Luna wears a "costume" only briefly, when she uses her magic and some fake fangs to appear as Nightmare Moon.

- Princess Luna: But this is the traditional royal Canterlot voice! It is tradition to speak, using the royal we, and to use [booming voice] this much volume when addressing our subjects!
- Fluttershy: [yelling] Go away! No candy here! Visitors not welcome on Nightmare Night!
- Twilight Sparkle: [laughing] Fluttershy, it's me, Twilight!
- Fluttershy: It is you. Oh, and Night Mare Moon. [gasps] Night Mare Moon? [scream] [door slam]

- Princess Luna: [booming voice] How is this?
- Fluttershy: [hurriedly] Perfect. Lesson over.
- [runs, but then slams into the door after Twilight shuts it before she could get back in]
- Princess Luna: Ha ha! The fun has been doubled!
- Pipsqueak: Help! My backside has been gobbled!
- Princess Luna: 'Tis a lie! Thy backside is whole and ungobbled, thou ungrateful whelp!
- Pinkie Pie: Aaaaah-! [tackled and muffled by Twilight]
- Twilight Sparkle: No! No shrieking! No screaming or squealing either, okay?
- Pinkie Pie: [muffled] Mokway!
- Twilight Sparkle: Pinkie Pie! You're a genius!
- Pinkie Pie: No I'm not, I'm a chicken. [squawk]
- Princess Luna: [sarcastic] Forgive me if I withhold my enthusiasm.
- Princess Luna: Can it be true? [booming voice] Oh, most wonderful of...! [normal voice] I mean... Oh, most wonderful of nights.

Louisville inks new Adidas deal through 2018-19
Louisville will continue its relationship with Adidas, announcing a new five-year shoe and apparel deal projected to be worth $39 million.
"Adidas has been a loyal partner for 16 years and I am thrilled that we will continue through this significantly expanded agreement as we move into a new era in the Atlantic Coast Conference," Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich said on Thursday. "The synergies with the sport of soccer and our new stadium, future innovative uniform designs, and the passion adidas displays towards outfitting all of our student-athletes at the highest level nationally make this a model relationship."
According to ESPN's Brett McMurphy, the Cardinals' new deal ranks among the top five in college athletics and just behind Notre Dame and Michigan in terms of Adidas deals. Louisville's previous deal with Adidas paid $2.55 million per year and would've run through 2015.
Louisville's $8M/year adidas deal ranks just behind Notre Dame ($9M/year, UA) & Michigan ($8.2M/year, adidas)— Brett McMurphy (@McMurphyESPN) April 17, 2014
The lucrative new deal includes an investment from Adidas into Louisville's entire athletic program. According to the Courier-Journal, Adidas will partner with the school for advertising campaigns, facility expansions, video technology, spirit squad support and even establish an internship program for Louisville students.
Adidas' NCAA rep says goal is "making sure the other 49 states know the Louisville brand."— Jeff Greer (@jeffgreer_cj) April 17, 2014
Adidas lost a major draw earlier this year with the departure of Tennessee, but investing in Louisville could end up paying off. In 2012-13 the school celebrated a Sugar Bowl win against Florida, a men's basketball national championship, a women's Final Four and a College World Series appearance. The BCS win/Double Final Four/CWS was a first in major college sports, which is why we don't have a catchy name for it yet.
Louisville will officially join the ACC on July 1.

When Good Things Happen to Bad Ideas
Time and chance happeneth to economists, too.
(Continued from Page 1)
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
But there is also, I think, another moral. If being smart is no guarantee of being right, having been right is not necessarily an indicator that someone is smart. Suppose that you hear someone making what sounds like a dumb argument, but you know that he has an impressive track record at market or economic prediction. Guess what: The argument may be as dumb as it sounds.

U.S. Housing Boom To Power B.C. Exports To 10 Per Cent Gain In 2013: EDC Forecast
VANCOUVER, Nov. 15, 2012 /CNW/ - Export Development Canada's (EDC) forecast for British Columbia's export growth calls for a strong rebound of 10 per cent in 2013, after a slight decline of 3 per cent this year. "Buckle up, because B.C. exports are on a roll thanks to the imminent U.S. recovery and steady growth in the Chinese market next year," said Peter Hall, Chief Economist, EDC. "Export growth in 2013 will be widespread, but explosive growth will give the forestry sector a commanding lead."B.C's forestry sector accounts for more than 30 per cent of the province's total exports, and is forecast to see 18 per cent growth next year, following a flat 2012 performance. "The U.S. housing market is on the move for the first time since 2006," said Hall. "Today's 35 per cent growth is just the beginning, as U.S. housing starts are forecast to rise by an additional 40 per cent in 2013. This rebound is the real thing, and will give a significant boost to the province's sawmills next year and beyond. And there's more: Chinese demand will continue to add to exports of lumber and pulp." B.C. led the country in growth of exports to emerging markets as a share of its total, which grew from 13 per cent in 2007 to 24 per cent in 2011. In contrast, the global recession had a substantial impact upon B.C.'s export sector, with the number of exporters declining from 5,543 in 1999 to 5,077 in 2010. "B.C. has about 10 per cent fewer exporters than a decade ago, but its share of exports to emerging markets jumped by 11 per cent in the past five years, suggesting that B.C. exporters are diversifying more on a company basis than any other province," said Hall.

text: Maria Pia Castelli @ViniVeri Joanie Karapetian April 7, 2013 4 Comments I'm in Verona for the Vinitaly trade show, but on Saturday we planned a trip to one of the show's "Anti-Vinitaly" demonstrations. These events are smaller, more targeted gatherings held adjacently to the big she-bang. I love discovering new wineries and tasting new wines at these events. At Vini Veri we found one stand-out at the Maria Pia Castelli booth- a crystal-clear, bright yellow (almost orange?) wine made from the Marche's indigenous grapes like Trebbiano, Malvasia and Pecorino. The wine is called Stella Flora- an accurate description meaning something like "floral star". The wine smelled like fresh jasmine flowers and green tea, and had an oily texture and a punctuated acidity. The fruit component was all over-ripe yellow plum and tangerines. One shining star in the sea of beautiful vino Italiano. So many wines, so little time!

Highly recommend the boat tour around Capri. Would of preferred more time there.
Highly recommend doing the Capri trip when in Rome. Valentino and Pino, the tour guides had loads of really interesting information about Rome, Naples, Capri and Anacapri. The tour was very well organised and the coach was comfortable. Definately take the boat tour around the island of Capri, this was superb and showed Capri in all it's glory, it is such a beautiful place and I was really please I made the effort and took this tour.
Beautiful, it's a must see!
Beautiful island, nice day spend in capri..only blue lagoon closed due to high water.. very disappointed. My son walked down from the top of the mountain and went swimming so it was a good trip.
It was a beautiful day!
This tour was amazing well organised and highly recommended
Sylvia was a fantastic tour guide ! Trip was excellent and very well organized. We got to do it all with appropriate time on our own. Highly recommended !
Jennah R United States of ...
Awesome trip, Capri is an absolutely beautiful place, a must see if near Naples/Rome. You have about an hour or so to shop on your own when you get there, lunch was included but not very good at all and we didn't go to the blue grotto but we did do an hour excursion around the whole Island which was amazing but when we got back we had to leave right away. So there is not a lot of free time but for us that was fine we still very much enjoyed it and would recommend it.
This tour was amazing!
Great experience. Even though we weren't able to see the blue grotto, we did a boat tour around the island and had an amazing time.
We had an excellent time! It took under 3 hours to get there (rest stop included). We took a boat ride around the island which was amazing. So glad I took this trip. My favorite day trip from Rome and I did six of them!
We spent 11 days in Italy and this was by far the highlight. Capri is absolutely beautiful!!
What a beautiful place. The guides were very helpful and patient with some stragglers.
Highly highly recommended!! Capri and Anacapri are GORGEOUS!! I am so glad I booked this tour!
Didn't feel like coming back! The view of the sea from above was awesome!
Very nice trip. The guides are excellent.
Joelle S Lebanon
Even though it was a very long trip, Capri was by far one of the best tours i had in Italy! The guide was very informative and helpful. Capri is beautiful, just like in Heaven!!! I recommend this tour and will definitely repeat it next tome i visit Italy:)
Celebrated our wedding anniversary in Capri and loved it ! Beautiful panorama view from the top of Anacapri. Made a mistake in taking the trip to the Blue Grotto because we waited about 2 hours just waiting to be ferried inside the cave, which we could have spent sightseeing and swimming in Capri instead.
We highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide, Valentina, was very nice and informative. She made sure that we were returned to our hotel in the evening. Capri is absolutely beautiful. The shopping, the sea, the views from Anacapri are well worth the trip. You can see Mt. Vesuvius from the top of Anacarpri. Our Capri Guide Pino was great. Ciao Pino!
The Isle of Capri was beautiful and taking this tour was very worthwhile. Our tour guide Valentina was very pleasant, helpful and knowledgeable. It was a very long day (14 hours) but worth every minute of it. We were not able to go into the Blue Grotto as the tides weren't favorable but instead took a boat tour if the island. It was very insightful and worthwhile. A day that provided many lasting memories!
Tour guides didn't provide too much information. Very little of Naples seen. Capri is definitely worth the trip though, and the chair lift is a must.
Capri is beautiful. It was nice to get out of the noisy city of Rome for a day. I wish we had a little bit more time to explore the town more. The kids enjoy it too. They love doing the Blue Grotto and riding the chair lift to the top to see the beautiful view of Capri.
It was all very good! Very good tour guides...
This was an AWESOME day trip! Our tour guide, Christina, had a lot if very interesting facts to share. The Blue Grotto was not included, but definitely worth the extra money to see it! The lunch was just OK, but the overall trip was amazing! Book this now!!
This was a great experience and is recommended but this is an alert for all travelers.
There was a communication problem with the guide who meet us at the ferry. Binto was not responsible on the return trip at the ferry. He gave us the ticket but did not check if or when we boarded the ferry. We had to ask and find our way to the ferry. The group was divided and he seem concerned about some but not all on the excursion. He did not give us direct instructions for the return trip which made us very uncomfortable and apprehensive.
No apology and no care for our safe return. The guide from the tour company...The Green Tour Co.....found no fault with Binto .
This is a great day trip out of Rome to see other parts of Italy. Capri is an absolutely beautiful island. The included lunch was good and there was ample time to head to the top to experience the magnificent views.

Falling In Love on the Phone
Sexy choices
We had to work in every possible weather in order to bring relief to the people devastated by the flood in upstate NY. Luckily it did not get unbearably cold though there were days requiring a winter jacket.
That's where I met Martin; he was also looking for someone with whom he could share hotel accommodations in order to cut cost. We hit it off right away and found a trust that probably was inspired by sharing the same culture. We are both from the Islands and had similar accents.
There were other interesting people there also but Betty and us just seem to get along , she laughed a lot and would check up on us from time to time just to see if things are going ok while we were on the road.
I could see that he must have had some military training because of how early he started and ended his day but that environment was not where he would find the woman of his dreams.
Ayear without sex.
A year since his divorce and no sex just blew me away for a minute or two. Guys who finally got the chance to chase women again usually make it count but for one whole year and no sex, I couldn't imagine.
Betty spoke to him more that she did to me and looked to me like she had some interest in him but could he convert that interest into sexual desire. By the looks of things it didn't seem soeven though I pointed it out to him many times while we chatted about our exploits.
The weather is getting colder now and the work is getting scanty, we didn't make enough money yet and feared being laid off for the season. They both never had to wait long to hear their faith and went back home to their respective states. I was luckier and continued working harder than in recent times.
Martin called me occasionally to keep in touch was still bitter over his divorce and not able to find a woman since. It wasn't much longer before I too was laid off and found pleasure in going back home to my wife and family.
We were both out of work and didn't want it continuing that way for long but leaving home again just before Christmas to begin a new project with promising prospects tugged at my financial lack every time he called to tell me about the opportunity he found in Florida.
I finally made plans to go and off I went right after Christmas prepared and ready to start making the big bucks.
It was good to see family I hadn't seen in years and re connect with a long lost friend whom I had no seen or heard from in over 40 years. Stacy and I spoke on the phone every day for two weeks just catching up for lost time but she was some 15 hrs. or so away which made seeing her out of the question for now.
His lack of sex and the tender touch and caring of a woman Martin asked me to introduce him to her.
I finally obliged and gave her his name as he instructed, she can find me on Facebook, he said and if she likes what she sees then she will connect with me.
Falling in love on the phone
That's exactly what happened the Saturday I gave her his name and on Sunday they made a connection for the first time. By Monday however they began speaking on the phone and followed up the following days.
Martin was impressed and started thanking me for the introduction on Thursday but by the weekend things took an unexpected turn. He was falling in love and by Monday he was deeply in love.
I couldn't call him without hearing how awesome she was and that she was God's gift to him.
He stays up all night just to hear me breath she told me, he asks that I put the phone on my pillow while I fall asleep so he can hear be breathe. I couldn't believe what I was hearing what is wrong with these people they are grown adults over 50 years old not teenagers.
Every day I spoke to him or her all they could talk about is how deeply in love they are and that it was ordained by God. He even stopped working because he couldn't concentrate but wait it gets even more bizarre so hold on to your seat.
He wanted her to visit in three weeks, well that is not bad but staying away more than a week from her home and job could mean her living on the streets when she got back. So my friend "Cupid" told her to pack up her things in storage and forget about the job because he doesn't think he could stand seeing her leave after she goes to visit him. What the hell is happening here!!!!! I thought I heard it all but all that was nothing compared to what is about to come.
Seems three weeks was too long to wait and so he moved up the date to one week , changed her booking and now she is going to arrive in one week," say what!!!!!!" ,you said? Well here is the shocker.
We are getting married.
They want me to be there so sign as a witness to their wedding. A wedding, what wedding?, I didn't know of a wedding. OK, ok he said there won't be a wedding but when I pick her up from the airport we are heading straight to the court to get married. You must be out of your F……..g mind, are you serious? As a judge was his reply, this woman is a gift from God and we won't be living in sin by sleeping together before we get married. Well stay awake then, I told him but marrying someone you have only spoken to on the phone for two weeks and not seen. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but everyday got more bazaar ever since they met so what else is new.
I got there two days before she was to arrive and to my recollection I have never seen anyone, man, woman, or child behaving like he was. He had completely lost it, the day she was to arrive he was nervous, he spoke to her from the night before and continued through the day while she went to the airport and only stopped when the flight announcement said to turn off the phones.
Seeing her for the first time.
The airport was only 10 minutes away from home and so an hour before was enough time to collect the flowers and place them in the vase on top of the book shelf. They were yellow roses and I helped him arrange them so the better ones were in front. He was a nervous wreck and went to take a shower while I made sure there was nothing unsightly lying around.
How will you know her when you see her, I asked him? I just will, was his reply. Ok then if you say so I suppose the magnetism will pull you both together.
It must have been an hour after he left that he was calling me from downstairs, I was getting some clothes out so I could go to the courthouse to sigh as a witness to the marriage but I also wanted to capture their first entry into his home as a couple . I raced downstairs with my camera in hand, well I hadn'

WINDERMERE, Fla. ( Stockpickr) -- Despite the selloff in stocks on Thursday, all three major U.S. averages have either started to break out or are within range of breaking out.The Dow Jones Industrial Average broke out recently above some stiff overhead resistance at around 12,391. We hit 12,450 on Thursday but pulled back to close at 12,409. That's still above the breakout price of 12,391. What market players should watch for now is a weekly close on the Dow that's firmly above 12,391. That would be bullish for many of the industrial stocks that litter the Dow.

Geary found dead of gunshot wound
Matt Geary, who unsuccessfully sought the Henrico Commonwealth's Attorney seat in November, was found dead today of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Henrico Police.
Geary was found deceased by police in the living room of a house in the 2200 block of Lauderdale Drive in the Far West End. A neighbor told WTVR television that Geary had moved into the house just yesterday.
Geary, who was the Republican nominee for the Commonwealth's Attorney seat, had come under fire from his own party, which demanded he give up the nomination after he admitted to having an extramarital affair. He refused, then publicly defended himself against Republican leaders who shifted their support to Bill Janis, a Republican-turned-independent who entered the race in August.
Geary and Janis ended up splitting the Republican vote, and Democrat Shannon Taylor won the seat in a surprise outcome.
Following the election, Geary returned to his private legal practice, Matt Geary Law, which specialized in traffic and criminal offenses.
Today, Taylor offered support to Geary's family in a statement.
"I want to offer my heartfelt sympathy to Matt's wife Tabitha and his children and family," Taylor said. "I've known Matt since our days in law school and he was a colleague and a friend whom I held in both high personal and professional regard. Matt was an effective prosecutor who served the public with commitment and dedication. The respect in which he was held by law enforcement is something that any prosecutor would wish to achieve. He will be missed.
"My thoughts and prayers are with Matt's family and I pray they find comfort in his memory. "
