Caravans Continue
Look for new postings very soon from the road – the very cold and sometimes snowy roads of Kansas and Nebraska – as the 2008 Royals Winter Caravans continue. We have players, alumni, and staff at various locations Tuesday, including two stops in Omaha, Neb., and Greensburg, Kan. Greensburg's the town west of Wichita devastated by a tornado last May. Several from the Royals front office made a goodwill trip to Greensburg days after the cleanup, and our Tuesday caravan stop served as a reminder that Royals Nation hasn't forgotten about their efforts to rebuild the town. You'll get more details from the road, but the dispatches back to KC (through sometimes spotty cell coverage) indicate great crowds at each stop and excited Royals fans.

Did any of you see the nut-jobs walking around the stadium with the big signs telling everyone that they were going to hell!? WHere in the eff did they come from? I sure hope thats not some campus organization, that would be extremely embarrasing. They reminded me of Fred Phelps' lunatics. Hopefully they wont be back again.
I saw them, and couldn't believe they thought that anybody there was going to listen. As I told them, the only time we pray at football games is when we kick field goals. As my sister told them, they had the makings of a nice sail, could we borrow it to take to the lake this weekend? I agree, they reminded me of some Fred Phelps groupies. I live in Ames, and I've never seen them around before. I guess they figured Jack Trice was a den of iniquity!
yeah... I saw that too... and I'm pretty sure the bible doesn't preach that anybody who reads a giant yellow out of place banner is going to hell... I'm sure that offended a lot of people and was quite counter productive to thier cause.
I am a devoted Christian and a hard core cyclone fan. I couldn't believe that they were sharing their faith with others in such an unloving manner. I wanted to confront them but with people like that (delusional/personality disorder) you cannot reason with them. I have no problem with people quietly asking others if they could give them a pamphlet. Yelling at people with huge signs is uncalled for. It is better to ignore them.
Those people are hilarous. Last spring there were a bunch of bible freaks outside the library and there were like 200 people heckling them. Man that was funny.
I'm also a devote Christian, and I have to admit scenes like that just embarrass me. I just want to know if there is one single, solitary person that has decided to change their life because somebody was yelling at them they were going to hell at a football tailgate.
I'm willing to bet that total is roughly zero. Frankly it seems like self-indulgance for the people doing the yelling.
they told my wife that she was going to hell! We are somewhat regulars at church, and they fruitloops aren't anything like the people at my church. Its like they are in a brainwashed cult or something. How stupid are they that they dont know how hipocritical they are being?
At least they were not from PETA. THEN I WOULD HAVE BEEN WORRIED.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
The fact that these lunatics claim they know the eternal destination of any other human being is proof enough that they don't believe the Word of God. "Judge not, lest ye be judged..." Only God can judge.
BryceC makes an outstanding point. If we are to go make disciples of all nations, I am quite certain that screaming at others and threatening them with eternal damnation is not the most efficient way to go about this. We are to love. People like that are the reason unbelievers have such negative pre-conceived notions of what it means to be a Christian.
If all it takes to get sent to hell is enjoying a beer or five and a football game, I'd say heaven will be a pretty empty place.
I saw them there, and although I thought their message was quite stupid and counter-productive I at least can respect their right to peacefully assemble and exercise free speech. You catch more flies with honey, and perhaps stating more uplifting bible verses would've helped them a bit more. They made themselves look pretty damn bad. I was half tempted to ask one of them whether I should bet the spread or not, their divine intervention couldn't have hurt.
Well, I'm glad I didn't see this.
I'm sure that it wasn't from any of the campus organizations. It was probably some group that travels the country on college campuses, and just happened to be in Ames yesterday.
God doesn't need groups like that. Like some have posted above, it's a very counter-productive evangelism approach. Unfortunate...
I admit I had a few before I walked by. The guy told me to look in the mirror or something because I was going to hell. I told him that I bet he has a mirrror too, and he should use it in the same manner.
yeah I walked right by them, I'm a christian so they didn't really bother me too much I just ignored them. They're not the ones who decide whether I go to hell or not so what they say is meaningless to me.

Video: Bruce Johnson On What's Next For Brown, DC
Video: Kwame Brown Apologizes After Guilty Plea
Video: Kwame Brown Pleads Guilty To Charge
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- On Friday, former DC city council chairman Kwame Brown pleaded guilty to a federal charge of bank fraud, reports 9News Now's Bruce Leshan. Brown was choked up after pleading guilty and apologized to his family and to the city in a statement.
Brown is free on personal recognizance and will reportedly leave town on Saturday, reports 9News Now's Bruce Johnson.
US Attorney Ron Machen said it marks another "dark day" in the city's history as "another of our elected leaders has gone astray."
Responding to suggestions that the bank fraud charges were a fallback because prosecutors failed to find anything else, Machen said, "You think the voters would have elected Mr. Brown if they had known," he had lied to secure hundreds of thousands of dollars in loans. What then would the voters have thought if investigators had left him alone with millions of dollars in city funds, Machen asked.
Brown resigned Wednesday after federal prosecutors charged him with bank fraud for lying on a mortgage application.
Brown also was charged with a misdemeanor count related to his 2008 campaign and monies that went to his brother's now-defunct business.
Brown entered guilty pleas to both charges in US District Court and DC Superior Court. He spoke in such of soft voice that even the judges at times had a hard time hearing them.
Officials from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia, the FBI's Washington Field Office and the IRS are expected to talk about the case to media on Friday afternoon.
Members of Kwame Brown's staff have been offered their jobs back on Thursday. They were out of work after Brown resigned. It's not clear yet how many people are taking Mary Cheh, Brown's interim replacement, up on the offer.

2013 Performance Years Open House / GTOAA Eastern Regional MeetWritten by on February 12, 2014 Contributors: Bob Axtman
In southeastern Pennsylvania, where Performance Years' (PY) Pontiac headquarters are located in Hatfield, it was the wettest June on record. Ever. The weather forecast was the same almost every day: heavy downpours, flash floods, and strong winds. It was like hurricane season arrived three months early.
There were only a handful of June days when it didn't rain at least part of the day. Fortunately for Pontiac enthusiasts, the weekend of June 14-15, 2013, turned out to be two of those non-rainy days. In fact, that Saturday was probably the nicest day of the entire month—80 degrees, low humidity, and abundant sunshine. Anyone who lives in the area can tell you how unusual such days are in the summertime.
The 2013 Performance Years Open House started off on Friday, June 14, with a cruise-in, as Pontiacs arrived from all over the Northeastern states. The PY crew, headed up by Mike Spizziri, had been out since Wednesday setting up the show field, planning the registration setup, and making arrangements to close off Clemens Road for the show the following day. (The event fills Clemens Road, continues over into the PY parking lot, and then goes across the street to acres of grassy area.)
On Saturday, over 225 Pontiac owners took the opportunity to attend what has become one of the largest Pontiac shows in the Eastern states. More than half the Pontiacs on the show field were GTOs. Hosted by the Garden State GTOs and the Susquehanna Valley GTOs, the GTOAA Eastern Regionals was just part of the festivities.
Performance Years also runs an all-makes-and-models show with over 100 vehicles and a special Mustang event; both run concurrently with the Pontiac show. In addition, another 40 or 50 cars came out for an impromptu cruise-in. There were more than 400 neat cars—Pontiacs and otherwise—to check out. It takes quite a while to see everything, and of course, stopping to talk with the car owners adds some Ponti-yakkin' time to the journey.
Pontiacs are our focus, and there were plenty of awesome ones to check out. PY created a special display area for some special-guest cars, which included Philip Eckart's '38 sedan, Glenn Moyer's '69 GTO Judge, Percy and TJ Meitzler's '73 T/A, Bill Gallagher's '62 Catalina SD clone, Nunzi Romano's Ram Air VII '65 GTO, and Scott Woodrow's '78 T/A.
John Sbrigato's Monkeemobile re-creation was parked in prime real estate right in front of the PY office. This particular interpretation was made to look like the "updated" George Barris version, with a white top and interior in place of the tan top and upholstery of the originals. The craftsmanship on this car was spectacular as it was a very fresh build. Many people took plenty of photos of it, even the non-Pontiac fans.
PY ran tours to show off its warehouse facility, which included Pontiac parts and Pypes exhaust systems, Snappin Turtle tie-downs, and other trailer products, too. A live band provided entertainment throughout the day. Performance Years, Pypes, and Snappin Turtle representatives were on-hand to answer questions, provide advice, and market their products.
Show entrants spent a good portion of their day filling out Popular Vote ballots. Some of the classes were quite large, and walking back and forth to select a favorite in each class was a tough decision for many. Just when you thought, "Yeah, that's the one," you would find another favorite. Some classes had an unusual mix of entries, like the Judge class, where most of the cars were '70 models instead of the usual batch of Carousel Red '69s. Overall there was a lot of variety wherever you looked.
"It takes quite a while to see everything, and of course, stopping to talk with the car owners adds some Ponti-yakkin' time to the journey"
As the afternoon wound down, PY President Chris Casperson and Spizziri presented awards to the class winners. Some people packed up and headed home, some stayed around to attend the downtown Lansdale car show in the evening, and many went back to their hotels for the evening to rest up for the all-Pontiac drag race event at Maple Grove the next day.
Unfortunately, getting three days of good weather in the wettest June on record was not to be. The rain returned and washed out the Maple Grove event.
Let's hope for good weather next year for the event on June 13-14, 2014.

Tips for Building a Welding Table - Rock Of AgesWritten by on November 1, 2012 Tips for building a solid, extra-functional welding table
A stout workbench or welding table is an essential part of every shop. When planning the construction of a fab table, determining what you'll be doing on it, how much space you have in your shop, and how much money you can spend all come into play—bigger is not always better. After a lot of thought, we decided something with a max size of 4x6 feet would suit our shop.
We've seen a hundred benches made with 1/4-inch-thick steel tops, and they're always dented or wavy from welding warp. When it comes to the top plate, bigger is always better. Our minimum thickness was 3/8 inch when we started hunting the scrap yards, where we found a 3x5 piece of 1/2-inch plate. We've come to find that the 3-foot dimension is a very comfortable working width—plenty of space to spread out, but everything is still within arm's reach. We wouldn't go smaller than 5 feet long, and 6 feet would have been better. But the price was right, and we'd hunted for months before finding our 1/2-inch-thick bargain.
The final dimension is height—and is perhaps the most critical. Some of the best advice we ever got was from Ron Covell when he told us to always be comfortable while working because "it allows you to be fussy with your work". If you're not fighting back pain from hunching over, you won't be rushing your work.
We measured kitchen counter heights, tables, and also remembered blacksmiths of old set their anvil's work surface so that holding a hammer in their hand and putting the head on the anvil, their elbow would be bent at a 90-degree angle, giving them the best position for work and not tire their arm, neck, and back muscles. We'll be standing and sitting at the table, so our shop stools' height was also taken into consideration. When all was said and done, our work surface is 36 inches high, which is pretty comfortable for our 6-foot, 1-inch stature—it's also the height of our kitchen counters. We wouldn't go any lower, but an inch or two higher wouldn't hurt, which we can dial in on the leveling feet if we choose (more on those later). Another consideration is a bench vise, and its work-surface height: a vise with its jaws chest-high is impractical. We have a monster vintage Reed Mfg. vise, but it was too high, and took up too much real estate on our table, so we made other plans.
For the legs and frame, big is absolutely better. Not only does it need to solidly support the tabletop, it needs to support anything you set on it. "Mass" is the order of the day. We used 3x2x1/4 C-channel, with 2x3x 0.250-wall upright legs, on 2-1/2x3-1/3x0.3125-wall box tubing feet. We found the 2-1/2x3-1/2 tubing at the scrap yard with our tabletop, and bought the C-channel and 2x3-inch box from a supplier.
We never start a shop equipment build without a scale drawing done on graph paper, showing the top, side, and front elevations. This way we can figure how much steel to buy, how to cut to minimize waste, and how to get it home. Steel is generally sold in 20-foot sticks, and most suppliers give one free cut per stick: with a scale drawing you might find your combination of pieces will add up to one 12-foot and another 8-foot length—a big deal if simply cutting it into two 10-footers leaves you with unusable short pieces.
Our finished table weighs over 550 pounds, not counting the vise and its mounting framework. It's rock solid and stable, which is what a good worktable is supposed to be, should handle anything we ever throw or drop on it, and will unquestionably outlive us.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
We constructed our table upside-down, as it's much easier than building the frame and lifting the top in place and welding it. Wood blocks keep it off the floor.A C-channel frame is set back 3 inches from the edge all the way around, so we can clamp work to the tabletop. (Dimensions shown are based off leg location.)Any time you weld steel plate, you'll need to first grind through the mill scale surface coating to get good penetration on your welds.If your plate is bowed, a large clamp can draw it down to the frame member. We've heard of people parking forklifts on the plate to take a bow out.There's no need to fully weld the perimeter. We alternated inboard and outboard of the frame: if a weld cracks, the crack won't run across the whole bead.We painted the bottom of the legs because once the table is right side up, we won't be able to paint their underside. Everything is painted to keep rust at bay.We used C-channel to tie the left and right legs together, rather than building a shelf under the table—shelves become messy catchalls.The crossmember is offset rather than centered, so it can be a footrest for one side, and store bulky items on the other. Flat black Rust-Oleum resists wear.
It turns out our plate is "wear plate:" it won't drill or tap. We would have tapped it and installed 1/2-inch setscrews to protect the threads from weld spatter.This is a woodworker's bench hold-down from Highland Woodworking (www.highlandwoodworking.com): Drill a hole through the table, weld in a 2-inch-long pipe with 3/4-inch ID, drop the tail into the hole with the head on the work piece, whack the head, the tail cocks in the hole, and the piece is held to the surface with hundreds of pounds of pressure."Holsters" for our MIG gun and ground lugs on all four legs keeps the tabletop clear of cables while we're working.The exhaust tubing holsters have a bell-mouth flare on one end. We ground a 45-degree bevel around a piece of solid stock, and formed the bell-mouth with the hydraulic press.Carriage bolts were screwed into tapped holes, then welded. Plain bolts would leave only the edge of threads for clamp contact. Plated shafts ensure a superior ground.Our big, conventional vise overpowered the tabletop and took up too much space, so we mounted this old Studebaker hydraulic vise on the end. It's unusual, but should be useful.

Your home is your castle, and your family your greatest asset, so you want to keep everything safe. But if you've priced home security systems lately, you might have felt your bank book cringe.
I'm not going to tell you not to buy an alarm system, but if you're not at a point where you can invest thousands of dollars, and you just want to do a few things to make your home safer, this article is for you.
I'm going to give you a list of tips you can use to make your home safer without spending any money.
The most important thing to keep in mind is that burglars are lazy. Like most people, they want the highest reward with the least possible risk and effort. The more challenging you can make your house appear, the more likely the burglar is to pass on by and pick on somebody else (or–let's hope–go away altogether). So, how do you make your home appear secure without screeching alarms, video surveillance cameras, barbed wire fences, and a yard full of Dobermans?
Here are your tips:
Trim shrubs back from doors and walkways (this ensures would-be thieves don't have any shadowy nooks to hide in).
Lock your storage shed and don't leave tools out in the yard (burglars can use ladders, shovels, etc. to gain access to your home).
Keep the lawn mowed and the exterior of the house maintained (a downtrodden appearance can suggest you are away from home a lot or that you just don't care enough to worry about your house).
Plant thorny shrubs beneath first-story windows (if you wouldn't want to climb through a tangle of thorns to reach an open window, chances are a burglar won't either).
If an outdoor light burns out, change it right away.
Don't display your valuables conspicuously (i.e. huge plasma TV on a living room wall that is visible from the street), as this only tempts thieves.
When you make new purchases (such as said plasma TV), don't leave the boxes by the curb to announce your valuable acquisitions–break boxes down and stuff them in your[……]

Excerpts of Remarks, Rep. Chris Smith, Co-Chairman
I'd like to join my colleagues in welcoming Foreign Minister Kozhara, the Chair-in-Office of the OSCE for 2013, and, of course, in welcoming everyone who is joining us this afternoon.
Ukraine has come a long way since I first joined the Helsinki Commission three decades ago – at that time it was a country suffering under Soviet oppression, and its independence seemed like a distant dream.
Even in those days, Ukraine distinguished itself by the number of courageous men and women who fought for human rights and freedom. When Helsinki Monitoring Groups were formed in the Soviet Union, to call on the dictatorship to live up to its Helsinki human rights commitments, the Ukrainian Monitoring Group was the largest and the most harshly repressed of them all – and in the early 1990s played a leading role in establishing democracy in independent Ukraine. In many ways, Ukrainians were at the forefront of the struggle to replace the old Soviet Union with governments that respected human rights – a great honor to Ukraine.
So it is a special pleasure to have you here today, Mr. Foreign Minister, and it is a fitting and long-awaited distinction for Ukraine to lead the OSCE year. You and your country will face many challenges and opportunities this year in your role as Chair-in-Office, and I look forward to hearing you present on your on-going work and plans.
Of course it is good news that your priorities as Chairman-in-Office include an emphasis on human dimension issues, such as human trafficking, media freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination and democratic elections.
As author of the Trafficking Victims Protection Act and its 2003 and 2005 reauthorizations, I especially applaud the energy which you've shown in taking on the fight against human trafficking. All of us in the fight against trafficking appreciate the special trafficking conference that Ukraine is convening in Kyiv this June in order to look closely at overlooked aspects of human trafficking, and most importantly, to strengthen the coherence of the OSCE response—including international law enforcement response—to trafficking in persons.
I also want to commend Ukraine for the work it has done already to focus attention on the hundreds of thousands of trafficking victims who are moved across borders each year and who could be rescued in transit if airline and other transportation personnel were appropriately trained and law enforcement ready to intervene. Last month, Ambassador Motsyk took the lead in sharing the Airline Ambassadors airline initiative with other Ambassadors and Diplomats from OSCE countries as well as with representatives of airlines in the United States. This training will create the situational awareness in the transportation industry that will make it much harder to traffic women. At the event at the Ukrainian embassy, here in Washington, Ambassador Motsyk introduced Nancy Rivard, founder and president of Airline Ambassadors, who demonstrated the transportation personnel training that has already been used to rescue more than 100 victims. And of course the Ukrainian government has taken the lead in organizing another major anti-trafficking event, to be held later this summer in Kyiv. Mr. Foreign Minister, your government's efforts will ensure that thousands of women and girls will be rescued from the horrors of trafficking, and will impede the traffickers so that many other women and children will never undergo it. Your commitment to introducing this program in the 57 OSCE participating states will ensure that we can rescue thousands more – I'm sure that I speak for everyone active in fighting human trafficking in thanking you for that.
Mr. Foreign Minister, I must also mention one of the problems remaining in Ukraine – probably the chief symbol of problems touching on human rights, rule-of-law, and democracy, that is, the continued imprisonment of former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko.
This is a serious injustice – and it can be corrected by Prime Minister Yanukovych. It was exactly twelve months ago that I chaired a hearing of this Commission on Ukraine, at which one of the key witnesses was Ms. Tymoshenko's daughter, Yevgeniya, testifying via Skype. I welcome the recent release of opposition leader Yuri Lutsenko as a positive step, and appreciate the other positive gestures of the current government - at the same time I strongly urge the Ukrainian government to enhance its Chairmanship of the OSCE by releasing Ms. Tymoshenko.

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- It's time to fall back. Most Americans will be able to get an extra hour of sleep this weekend thanks to the annual shift back to standard time.
The change officially occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, but most people will set their clocks back before heading to bed Saturday night. Residents of Hawaii, most of Arizona and some U.S. territories don't have to change since they do not observe daylight saving time.
Public safety officials say this is also a good time to put a new battery in the smoke alarm, no matter where you live. Daylight saving time returns at 2 a.m. local time March 9.

Average Customer Review: based on 14 reviews.Rating: Semi-Dry
will this suit be to warm for non diving, more for water skiing and sky skiing my circulation is very poor and i am always cold in my ONeill dry suit that doesnt stay very dry spring and fall???water temp 55 air around 65 to75? thanks
Hello Jeff, this suit is made out of a standard neoprene. For the non-diving things your doing I would suggest going with a super-stretch material suit. With that you will have a greater mobility in and around the shoulders and legs. The suit I would suggest is the Aqua Lung 8/7mm SolAfx AquaFlex Super-Stretch Hooded Chest Zip Wetsuit web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-101/153758/Aqua-Lung-8-7mm-SolAfx-AquaFlex-Super-Stretch-Hooded-Chest-Zip-Jumpsuit---Wetsuit.html.
Hi, I am 57" 160lbs chest 39". I would like the medium but they are sold out. Do you think a small would be to tight? Thanks
The waist and chest are the most important measurements for the fit with a wetsuit. Height usually will work even if it is one to two inches short or tall. Weight will depend on the divers body build and is the last measurement to consider. As long as the item is not used in the water you have up to 60 days to refund or exchange it.
Looking for a wetsuit for my 67"-68" 235 lbs, Son, who is spear fishing in Rhode Island. Is the 3x suit good for him and can it be returned, for full refund, if its not what he is looking for?
Will this suit or a wet suit be better for just boogie boarding in cold temps.?
This is a pretty heavy suit for boogie boarding. Typically a 3 or 5mm in a super stretch works better. http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-43/149217/Ocean-Quest-3-2mm-Premium-Super-Stretch-Titanium-Jumpsuit---Wetsuit....html
I am 66" tall (thin build) and am looking for a 6.5mm or 7mm wetsuit that will be "tall" enough for me. Any recommendations?
At your height, Pinnacle may be the best manufacturer for you to look into. The most important measurements any time you purchase a wetsuit or drysuit using the manufacturer's sizing charts will always be your waist and chest/bust measurements. The suit needs to fit your torso correctly in order to do its job properly. Keep in mind there is no such thing as a comfortable wetsuit on the surface. You want it to be snug, but not cut off circulation to your extremities. The more snug it is, the thinner the layer of water your body is heating. If its too loose you will remain warm for awhile, but eventually your body won't be able to keep up with the greater amount of water flowing through the suit and you'll wind up getting cold faster. After that your height is a secondary measurement. The manufacturers realize that generally speaking your boots and gloves can overlap slightly short arms and legs, or the diver can push or roll up longer sleeves and/or arms if need be. Weight is a measurement the diver can usually ignore. It really has little to no bearing what so ever on the sizing and fit of your suit. The manufacturers do not take into account muscle being more dense than fat, so based simply on fitness levels 2 people can be the exact same size but quite different in weight. This measurement should only be used if the person is literally on the fence between 2 sizes in all categories.
I am new to diving and I will be mostly diving in mostly 40+ degree water (New England). I often get very cold while snorkeling. Is this suit warm enough for this type of diving? Does a removable hood make you colder?
Is this suit suitable for a woman? Im only 54.
Hello Mariann, this suit is a closeout limited to stock on hand. We only have men sizes in-stock. If you are looking for a cold water suit. The suit I would suggest for you is the Ocean Quest 7mm Premium Super-Stretch Titanium Wetsuit web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-101/150434/Ocean-Quest-7mm-Premium-Super-Stretch-Titanium-Jumpsuit---Wetsuit.html.
I live in southern California and recently became certified to dive. Will the Mares 6.5mm Isotherm Semi Dry keep me warm throughout all months of the year in southern California? My advanced course is coming up, so its going to include night dives. How will this stack up at night time where the water temperature might be even lower than during the day? Thanks!

Perhaps the DREAM promotion still has some life to it.
Inactive for the past 10 months, the Japanese promotion has announced it's hosting a Thursday press conference.
There, officials are expected to announce an event for New Year's Eve, and DREAM featherweight champion Hiroyuki Takaya, veteran Tatsuya Kawajiri and former title challenger Satoru Kitaoka are scheduled to attend.
The presser takes place in Tokyo at 6 p.m. local time (5 a.m. ET in the U.S.) and streams online. It's open to the public.
Takaya, Kawajiri and Kitaoka are likely to be part of the card.
Major New Year's Eve shows have been an annual tradition in Japan. In fact, DREAM hasn't held a show since its most recent New Year's Eve event, which featured a full slate of MMA, kickboxing and pro-wrestling bouts. Famed heavyweight Fedor Emelianenko knocked out Satoshi Ishii in the headliner of the event, which took place at Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japan.
Also on the card, Shinya Aoki defended his lightweight title with a win over Satoru Kitaoka in the co-headliner. However, the Japanese legend recently surrendered the title and severed ties with the promotion.
It's not clear what business entity would promote this year's show; FEG, the former parent company of DREAM, declared bankruptcy earlier this year. Regardless, DREAM is likely to borrow talent from other Japanese promotions, as it's done in the past.
DREAM had hoped to become the new PRIDE after Zuffa purchased (and later disbanded) the once-dominant promotion in early 2007. All told, DREAM has put on 23 events since launching in March 2008 in PRIDE's absence. International talent has included Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, Eddie Alvarez, Shinya Aoki, Joachim Hansen, Hayoto Sakurai and Gesias "JZ" Cavalcante, among others.

Locally and nationally, NBC is the election night ratings winner
A weekly roundup of news & notes in local media debuts:
Local Democrats weren't the only big winners in Tuesday's election.
In the world of television news, where a presidential election is part Super Bowl (big, one night only) and part Olympics (big, every four years), NBC also pulled off a sweep of sorts, with the local and national broadcasts earning the highest ratings.
As a bonus, NBC also was the first network to call the election, projecting President Barack Obama's victory at 8:12 p.m.
Locally, KNSD Channel 7/39 earned an average rating of 5.9 from the time it began election coverage at 3 p.m. until midnight. That gave the station a comfortable margin over the CBS affiliate, KFMB Channel 8 (5.0), which started at 4 p.m. Two cable networks, CNN (4.6) and Fox News Channel (4.2), were next, followed by ABC affiliate KGTV Channel 10 (3.9) and MSNBC (3.7). The local Fox affiliate, KSWB Channel 5/69, averaged a 2.6 rating, and KUSI Channel 9/51 was at 2.3.
The advantage was even greater in prime time (8 to 11 p.m.), with NBC posting an 8.1 average rating compared with 5.8 for CBS and CNN, followed by ABC (5.3), Fox News and MSNBC (tied at 4.5), Fox local (4.0) and KUSI (3.0).
KNSD's win hardly was unexpected; halfway through the November "sweeps" ratings period, the station is No. 1 or No. 2 with all its newscasts.
"On big news days we're generally No. 1, so we go into election night optimistic about having good numbers," said Greg Dawson, KNSD news director. "But you never know until the next day."
Tuesday's success was "twofold," Dawson said. "First of all, I'd like to think we're a strong news station that people turn to in big times. For a presidential election, we also have the power of the NBC network, and they were the No. 1 national source. That combination really helps."
Added Dawson: "This election was one of the more interesting ones in many years. I can't remember this many big races being so close. It was an exciting, fascinating night. Actually, still is, as we await some of these local races (to be finalized). I felt really good about our coverage that night. It's always nice to see the numbers back it up."

As you would expect, the military will be a big part of the Veterans Day sports weekend. ESPN has brought its "College GameDay" football pregame show to San Diego, where it will originate from the flight deck of the USS San Diego. It's part of ESPN's annual "Salute to Our Veterans."
Good thing sailors are used to rising early: "College GameDay" begins at 6 a.m. PST on ESPNU and then switches to ESPN from 7 to 9 a.m. Instead of rowdy students and fans making up the live audience, as usual, ESPN has invited servicemen and women, along with their families, from Naval Base San Diego and Camp Pendleton.
Of course, this is also basketball season, and there will literally be thousands of games telecast over the next 129 days through Selection Sunday on March 17. Locally, the first big matchup of the season comes Sunday courtesy of Fox Sports San Diego, which will air the "Battle on the Midway" between two nationally ranked teams, San Diego State and Syracuse.
The game, postponed from Friday due to weather concerns, will begin shortly after 1 p.m. As a goodwill gesture, FSSD is making the game available to Time Warner and Dish Network subscribers who normally don't receive the channel. Those systems will carry the game on Fox Sports West.

Hey guys,
1 Thought you might like to know that I chose the network trial for installation as it has an outlook connector. However had I known that it only supports outlook 2003 I would not have wasted my time with the trial, would have gone straight for the open source download. Most of my users use outlook 2002 or less and to do the install and find they werent supported was quiet dissappointing. Simply amending your site to `limited outlook support' or similar might save a few frayed tempers.
2 On the positive, the install is straight forward (easy) and professional.
3 Not having a pop up mail notification is receiving complaints already (its only been installed for one day).
4 Cant find any recent posts about date display - here in the great land of DownUnder we like to read our calanders day/month/year not month/day/year. Is there any easy way to change this?
5 When my trial expires can I update to the open source version and keep my
configs, mailboxes etc.
6 gprs pocket pc imap checking is very fast (awsome) with my provider. Please please please please give us a connector for syncing contacts and calander please please please - do you think I might have an office full of mobile workers !

Gov. John Kasich has something to say to anyone waiting on federal funding to help fix their bridges (and while we're at it, any local governments who need funding for something other than food and water): Forget about it. During an interview with Enquirer editors and reporters yesterday,* Kasich said tolls are the best means for funding a new Brent Spence Bridge.
"I do not believe that a white charger is going to come galloping (from Washington) into Cincinnati with $2 billion in the saddlebags," Kasich said. "So if that isn't going to happen and all we do is delay, delay, delay and we push this thing out until 2036 ... holy cow!"

British Prime Minister David Cameron only recently learned what LOL means in text-speak. The explanation occurred during witness testimony from Rebekah Brooks, the former head of Rupert Murdoch's the now-defunct News of the World. Brooks was forced to resign last year amid a phone-hacking scandal.
"He would sign them off 'DC' in the main," Brooks said, referring to Cameron's initials. "Occasionally he would sign them off 'LOL' — 'lots of love' — until I told him it meant 'laugh out loud,' and then he didn't sign them off [that way] anymore."
It was certainly an LOL moment during Brooks' testimony in a London courtroom Friday as part of a judicial inquiry into media ethics. But the disclosure also underscored the warm personal ties between the prime minister and Brooks, the former head of media baron Rupert Murdoch's British newspapers who was forced to resign in disgrace last summer.

This week's ruling by the Ohio Civil Rights Commission that a Greater Cincinnati landlady violated a girl's civil rights by posting a "whites only" sign at an apartment complex's swimming pool is a decision that most rational people would say is just.
The Jan. 12 ruling means the commission, if it cannot reach a settlement with landlady Jamie Hein, could issue a complaint against her with the Ohio Attorney General's Office. The AG's Office would then represent the complainant, Michael Gunn, before an administrative law judge, who could impose penalties and punitive damages.
An anti-tax group has made opposing Cincinnati's planned streetcar project its primary cause in recent years, so it might be surprising to now find one of its leaders teaming up with a major streetcar advocate.
But that's exactly what is happening later this month as Chris Finney, of the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST), co-hosts a political fundraiser with Chris Bortz, an ex-Cincinnati city councilman.
A series of contradictory tweets and blog comments posted by members of an anti-transit group has observers wondering of there is dissension in its ranks — or whether one member simply has anger management issues.
Ever since an initiative put on the Nov. 8 ballot by the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST) was rejected by voters, someone with the group has vowed on various local blogs that it still would try to block Cincinnati's streetcar project.
Ohio voter advocates say there was a big elephant in the room during the creation of Ohio's controversial redistricting map, and it was super tan and cried a lot. The Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting says John Boehner was central in the process, working with map-making consultants and the National Republican Congressional Committee. Here's a link to the Ohio Redistricting Transparency Report. From The Enquirer:
"The report found: decisions were not made in public; public input was ignored; there was limited opportunity for the public to review proposed maps; the public was not provided with relevant data for proposed districts; nonpartisan redistricting criteria were not used; and the criteria used to evaluate plans were never publicly identified."
A group working to defeat Issue 48 filed a complaint today against a conservative group with the Ohio Elections Commission.
Cincinnatians for Progress, which is urging a "no" vote on Issue 48, filed the complaint against the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). It alleges COAST knowingly and repeatedly has made false statements in its campaign in support of the ballot initiative.
The complaint cites 20 instances in the past two months in which COAST allegedly made false statements in violation of Ohio Revised Code Section 3517.22. Most involve allegations the city has taken funds away from fire services to fund the streetcar project.
Based on the latest comments on his Facebook page, it appears Christopher Smitherman either doesn't understand the wording of Issue 48 or is deliberately trying to mislead voters.
On Wednesday, Smitherman wrote on his Facebook page: "Remember Issue 48 DOES not STOP light rail but it does force City Council to ask the citizens (sic) permission before spending $144 million. City Council does not want to ask the people (for) permission."
As several legal experts have agreed, Issue 48's net effect will be to stop the planning and construction of any type of passenger rail project within Cincinnati city limits until Dec. 31, 2020 — even if the project is privately financed.
Perhaps hoping to mimic the suspenseful aspects of an Alfred Hitchcock film or a Thomas Harris novel, an ultra-conservative group has been issuing press releases announcing its endorsements for Cincinnati City Council one at a time.
Oh, the anticipation!
The person who often ranks in polls as the most popular politician in Hamilton County is breaking with his Republican colleagues and is appearing in a new radio commercial urging a "no" vote on Issue 48.
Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis Jr. asks residents to oppose the anti-streetcar initiative that was placed on the ballot by the NAACP's local chapter and the Coalition Opposed to Additional Spending and Taxes (COAST). The commercial will begin airing Wednesday during the morning drive time period on WLW (700 AM) and WKRC (550 AM), two stations with predominately conservative, Republican audiences.

OK dear Blogger friends :) I am submitting a pattern for a fabric contest (over at Spoonflower http://www.spoonflower.com/contests/72) and wonder if anyone has any particular suggestions or comments as to which one to choose to submit. They're basically the same except for the background color. I am sure I have absolutely no chance of winning as there are some AWESOME fabric patterns submitted for contests all the time, but I have fun playing around making stuff :) Thanks for any help!

We have ZCS 4.5 Network edition installed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux V4 and everthing seems to be working well with the exception of notebooks and documents. When we installed the product it did create the global documents account, but we are having various issues when we either try to create global documents or enable documents for a domain.
1. When ever we try and create a document or another notebook in the global document space we get an error message that the global templates are missing, but when you look at the documents tab it shows a folder named Templates.
2. When we try and setup documents for a domain when we click finish we get the following error message, but the password entered is greater than the minimum passowrd length set in the COS applied to the domain.
Message: invalid password: too short
Error code: account.INVALID_PASSWORD
Method: ZmCsfeCommand.prototype.invoke
3. If we use zmprov to setup document for a domain it appears to run correctly (using the same password that errors out it the GUI) and the domain document account is create and documents appear to be activated, but the permissions set for this domain document space also now appear to have replaced the permissions on the global document space. Also any change we make to permissions on either the global document space or the domain document space seem to affect each other. As a note in the case of the document space the Templates directory is created and we do not get the error message about missing templates like we get for the global document space.
4. The creation of a domain document space and the associated domain document account appears to be counted against the license account number, but the global document account is not. This seems to be inconsistent?
We would really like to activate this feature for our customers, but given the above issues there is no way we can currently do that. Can anyone point in the right direction as to what we are missing or doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Dancing With The Stars
Derek Hough on Mark Ballas's Music: See What He Thinks of It (PHOTO)
Derek Hough and Mark Ballas may be on Dancing With the Stars together, but first and foremost, these dancing guys are childhood BFFs. So when we saw Derek supporting his bestie Mark in the recording studios, we felt like we had just won the Mirror Ball.
Derek took to Instagram yesterday (June 20), showing off a photo of himself in the studio with Mark. He wrote, "Just listened to Markies new music he's been working on. Nobody is ready for this. I feel privileged to have been there from the start. Literally the day he picked up an instrument." You guys!
As for what you can expect from Mark's music? He revealed that his album will have "touches of jazz and blues, merged with rock, funk and flamenco and international pop, and highlighted by big urban beats." We haven't even heard it yet, but we already know it'll be a "10!"
Are you excited about Mark's new tunes? Let us know in the comments below.

Cleveland, OH (Sports Network) - Cleveland Cavilers guard Kyrie Irving and
forward/center Anderson Varejao have been cleared for full participation in
training camp, the team announced on Monday.
Irving, the reigning NBA Rookie of the Year, fractured a bone in his right
hand after slapping a padded wall during a summer league practice in July.
The 20-year-old Duke product averaged 18.5 points and 5.4 assists per game
last season.
Varejao fractured his wrist in a Feb. 10 game against the Milwaukee Bucks. The
30-year-old native of Brazil led the Cavs in rebounding last season with an
average of 11.5 boards per game.
Additionally, guard Daniel Gibson, who tore a tendon in his left foot in
March, was cleared for "practice to tolerance" throughout training camp.

Bill Gordon's lawyer tells Newscenter 11 that the Internal Revenue Service, with the help of the FBI, raided Gordon's businesses in town and seized his financial records.
Bill Ready, Sr. says the IRS has been misinformed by someone who is seeking revenge on his client. Ready tells us the IRS has given him very little information about these raids, but says he has no doubt that Gordon has paid all of his taxes. Ready says he and Gordon plan to fight these allegations being made by the IRS.
"Same way anybody does with the internal revenue service," Ready says. "With as much patience and endurance as possible. Because we have to prove. They've let the public believe he has committed some great crime and they don't really care."
The US Attorney's Office says it cannot comment on whether there is even an IRS investigation, saying it is Department of Justice policy not to comment, unless charges are filed.

A few weeks ago I read that the Fietsersbond (Cyclists Union) had been busy this summer re-mapping, re-calibrating all of the (segregated) bicycle lanes and thus routes in the Netherlands. From 1996 up until now everyone relied on the numbers from the Central Bureau for Statistics, showing 17.000 kilometers of those connecting the entire country.
Uhm, apparently it was in dire need of an update, because these good people found many, many more of them. 12.000 more. Yes, 29.000 is the new number. And this is based on extensive research by 7 people actually going around on bikes and creating digital maps. 7 people? The Cyclists Union chose 7 out of the 14 Dutch provinces as a firm basis for their calculations, hence one person per province.
There's no real explanation, other than these were 'overlooked', forgotten, obscured, or what not. I think the Dutch Tourism Board should update their info and start promoting the hell out of it.
Speaking of promotion, digging all this back up I found this cute little music video by a Dutch girls band from Amsterdam called Pep, singing 'Fietsen', or 'Cycling'. More specifically: 'Pedal towards freedom, in the wind and the rain, it feels heavenly good'. Ain't that the truth.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Two Maryland men have been sentenced in a conspiracy to steal $9 million from a Vienna-based company's employee pension plan through a series of bad mortgage loans.
Forty-four-year-old Robert Fulton Rood IV of Potomac, Md. was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Thirty-one-year-old Nikolaos Hepler of Gaithersburg, Md. was sentenced to 30 months. Federal prosecutors announced the sentences on Friday.
Prosecutors say Rood led a scheme to defraud Southern Management Corporation Retirement Trust, which funds pensions for the Southern Management Corp., a prominent property management firm in the Mid-Atlantic region with 1,200 employees. Rood brokered a series of 32 mortgage loans which he sold to the retirement trust in 2006 and 2007. All but eight loans went into default.
Authorities say Hepler, Rood's employee, misrepresented information about the loans.

Updated at 5:03 p.m.
Repairs were made Wednesday to a water line on Henderson Drive in Jacksonville with little to no pressure loss to area residences and businesses, city officials said.
A city contractor repairing the booster station on Indian Drive struck an undocumented line, which created problems for the main transmission line causing about a four-hour outage along Henderson Drive between Western Boulevard and Gum Branch Road.
Some businesses and homes may have experienced lower than normal pressure, but the water system was not compromised, and there is no need to boil water or avoid using the water, said Assistant City Manager Glenn Hargett.
An announcement was made to area businesses and homes that they could experience loss of pressure during the work, but sufficient pressure was maintained in the transmission line to avoid any contamination or danger to the treated water, Hargett said in a news release.
Updated at 3:48 p.m.
All water services to businesses and homes in the Gum Branch Road to Western Boulevard Henderson Drive area should now be fully restored, according to city officials. Water pressure was not compromised and there is no need to boil water or avoid using the water.
Water line users on Henderson Drive between Western and Gum Branch could be without water for about 4 hours due to a contractor damaging a water line, according to city officials.
Repairs are being made now and could be completed sooner.

The $6 million race for mayor
Candidate, Total raised from donors (excludes personal/political party contributions)
Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher: $1,265,711
City Councilman Carl DeMaio: $934,822
District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis: $677,435
Rep. Bob Filner: $371,607
Source: Campaign finance disclosures
San Diegans for Retirement Security (anti-DeMaio): $378,596
Too Extreme for San Diego (anti-DeMaio): $240,505
San Diegans for Nathan Fletcher: $233,987
Taxpayers for Carl DeMaio: $147,242
San Diegans for Bonnie Dumanis: $118,000
San Diegans for Voter Facts (anti-Fletcher): $2,000
San Diego's next mayor could be known as The Six Million Dollar Man.
The amount of money being poured into the mayor's race has topped $6 million, a sum that is fueled by new campaign finance rules that give special interests and wealthy donors a much larger influence on city elections than in years past.
The four major candidates — City Councilman Carl DeMaio, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, Rep. Bob Filner and Assemblyman Nathan Fletcher — have amassed nearly $4.1 million in campaign contributions through May 19, the end of the last reporting period. Political-action committees backing or opposing the candidates have raised nearly $1.3 million. Political parties, unions and other groups have spent at least $660,000 on top of that.
John Dadian, a Republican political consultant not involved in the race, said he's not surprised by the amount of spending, but the tone of the advertising gives him pause.
"It tells me that it's a very competitive race and when it's that competitive you need to be spending dough to get your message out," he said. "Usually in the past you saw independent expenditures in favor of somebody. I've never seen the explosion of several independent expenditures that are specifically targeted against somebody."
Independent expenditure is the technical term for money spent on the race that isn't coordinated with any particular candidate. The resulting ads are often more negative because the money trail doesn't lead back to the candidate but rather a financial backer.
Most of the spending in the race revolves around two candidates: DeMaio and Fletcher. They've each raised far more than their rivals and each has had multiple PACs formed to support or oppose their candidacy.
Among the candidates, DeMaio leads in overall money with nearly $1.7 million raised although he has contributed $675,000 of his own money to that total and the local Republican Party gave him $65,000. Fletcher has the most money from individual donors with nearly $1.3 million raised, including about $303,000 in the last period, the most of any candidate.
Dumanis and Filner continued to trail in fundraising. Dumanis raised about $50,000 from donors and then loaned her campaign an additional $40,000, bringing her total campaign haul to $677,000. Filner collected about $92,000 from donors for a total of $372,000, but he also received an additional $67,000 from the local Democratic Party.
Many political consultants predicted a spending spree for this mayor's race in large part because of a court case that struck down several of the city's campaign-finance laws.
The floodgates opened in January 2010 when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the federal government may not ban political spending by corporations and other advocacy groups, such as labor unions. The local Republican Party and others had already filed a lawsuit against the city challenging many of the contribution limits in place when the Citizens United decision landed. A series of rulings in the San Diego case over the past two years upheld some rules and obliterated others.
The end result is the ability to raise and spend virtually unlimited amounts of money to influence city elections.
The U-T San Diego identified 13 different groups that are spending money on the San Diego mayor's race in some form. One such PAC is "Taxpayers for Carl DeMaio," which has raised about $147,000 to bolster his candidacy from donors such as developer Tom Sudberry and Leo Hamel Fine Jewelers Inc. Another is "San Diegans for Nathan Fletcher," which has raised nearly $384,000 to back him with money from Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs and Bridgepoint Education.

Not a teacher? You can still help your children learn
(Page 2 of 3)
There is one constant that will never change. Parents and grandparents (I add them because so many kids are being raised by an extended family these days) have to read often to babies, toddlers and pre-schooler's. That works whether you read from a physical book, a Kindle or an iPad. Talk about words, how they sound, what they mean, how they convey information and meaning. Then, have lots of reading material around the house and encourage your child to pick them up and read themselves. Allow time each day for "quiet reading," away from the television set or video game.
The Common Core standards have changed the game slightly. Rather than reading "literature," students are going to be asked to read non-fiction and primary source material. For example, younger kids might be asked to read, "A Tree is a Plant," to learn not only to synthesize material, but to learn something about science as well. Parents should make sure that from an early age, their children have access not only to chapter books, but to non-fiction books as well.
That brings us to the skill that students have to develop of using evidence from a reading piece to support a conclusion that they have to come to. You can get them acquainted with the skill by asking them to defend their position, to give evidence, while sitting around the kitchen table eating a family meal. If there is a subject your child is really interested in, ask them their opinion of something involved in that subject and then ask them to write a paragraph or two defending their opinion. You can even use historical fiction to hone the skills necessary. For example, the book "Johnny Tremain," a fictional story about a youth who lived in Boston during the events leading up to the Revolutionary War. The book is appropriate for pre-teens and teens. While the information is historically correct, and your children can learn about that period by reading the books, it also allows for lots of discussion and opinion that will lead to involved writing assignments that necessitate thought and using "evidence" from what they have read.

it's not a secret that parental involvement is a key to students' success, however, that requires a parent who is either educated himself/herself, or at least, has an appreciation for higher education. In too many families, parents make a huge effort to involve their kids in as many sports as possible to the detriment of the academics.
