"We bought these to compliment the Dappled Glade Signature Wedding Invitations, and they performed perfectly! We used the card to send out information about RSVPing, the reception site, and a note to see our wedding website. We ended up changing the Header font to match that used in the text body, and centered all of our text. I would highly recommend ordering the 8 free sample invites from WPD - it comes with a paper texture information booklet that is extremely helpful!"
"We LOVED these wedding invites from the second we saw them and got tons of positive feedback! I love the subtle color variations in the leaf designs (we used the green option - we were having an outdoor summer wedding) and think the font colors complimented it nicely. The only change we made was to put the phrase "reception to follow"and the "and" between our names into Willa Bold font rather than the script font. We were sent proofs promptly, and the designer listened to our suggestions. Overall, the printing quality was excellent, the invites arrived in a timely manner and just as advertised, and the paper was fantastic. What helped most was that we ordered sample invitations from WPD (8 for free) and they send you a super helpful paper stock sample guide. I would highly recommend doing this, because it shows you exactly what you're going to get! Overall, we were super happy with the invitations!"
"We ordered this in blue, the wedding color and were thrilled! They are very simple, yet elegant and so appropriate for an outdoor blue wedding. Nice paper quality. Very happy."
"The invitation is perfect. Exactly what was described. I found a typo on the invitation AFTER we got them, but because it was a common word, that their design reviewer should have caught also, they reprinted them at no additional cost… and received the new invites 2 days after I called. That is OUTSTANDING customer service!"
"I was so excited to get my wedding invites they were perfect. They even came before the date promised. They are high quality and beautiful. Just what I wanted. Couldn't be happier."

The intense chemistry
between Hrithik Roshan and Katrina Kaif in their upcoming action flick 'Bang
Bang' sure seems to give the audience bang for their buck. The film, an official Hindi remake of the Hollywood hit Knight
And Day, has Hrithik and Katrina playing Tom and Cameron Diaz's parts,
respectively. Directed by Siddarth Anand, the film promises to be a high
voltage action film, shot in the most exotic locations. The first look, which
gives a glimpse of Hrithik and Katrina's chemistry in the film, has been very
well received.
Two schedules of the film have already been completed and the next kick-starts this July, in Europe. The crew faced rough weather during the first schedule in Thailand, but the lead pair did manage to shoot some stunning stunt sequences there. From there, they headed to Greece for the second schedule, where a romantic sequence was filmed. The film will be shot in the Far East, Europe and India. Bang Bang, produced by Fox Star Studios, is slated for release on May 1, 2014.

GREENSBORO, N.C. -- Students at a North Carolina university have created a Web site that lets those who lived in Greensboro's textile villages share their experiences.
The News & Record of Greensboro reported that students at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro created the site called "Community Threads: Remembering the Cone Mill Villages."
Former mill village residents are able to share their experiences and photos at a series of events that began last week and continue into April.
One will be held Sunday afternoon at a reading at First Friends Meeting.
The textile project is in its second year and is the work of a group of 10 museum studies students.
Greensboro had five mill villages until 1957, when Cone Mills began selling the houses. Only one operates today.

If and as more becomes added to the bundle I will do my best to add them here.
Posted review for the FULL PDF, but I encourage people to get the preview as the full version is not available as of yet. Well done, and the type of tale that could be some of those storyline that a group would talk about for quite a while are the game was done.
Impressive Brian Engard, as well as Rite Publishing for bringing an excellent product to the table.
That's right folks, AAW has jumped in to the deep end with their first Kickstarter offering. A compiled expanded edition of the Rise of the Drow trilogy.
Rise of the Drow Kickstarter
3 time Ennie award winning cartographer Todd Gamble will be bringing with personal touch to the full color gorgeous maps, adding in many new sections as the material expands and grows.
Jonathan Nelson and Stephen Yeardley co-authored a solid, epic storyline and decided to invite along some friends when it was time to revisit the project for an expansion.
With a host of authors on board including Brian Berg, Owen K. C. Stevens, Robert Gruver and Jason Stoffa the sheer weight of new material and sections being added to the trilogy alone are going to provide enough material to fill another 100 pages.
With plans to bring an board familiar names as well as a new fresh faces in regards to art, we'll also got a few surprises in store as to artists we are wanting to work with for this book.
And no, that's not all we have planned my friends...so come check it the campaign, hit us with a million questions, and let's see enjoy this ride together!!!!!!!!!!!
Review Up. Love the Butcher, he's just the right mix of creepy.
Review up, some real treats in this one guys, well done!
Reviewed here and on DTRPG. Loved the embodiment...the new giant, the drake...excellent.
Alas, I just don't have the money this month, and need to suspend my subscription until funding becomes a little better. Thanks.
when I first signed up for a subscription, I averaged getting my APs before my LFGS, now he tends to get them a week before I do...the month is almost over, any chance of an eta?
My apologies, as I know I have a decent stack of PDF's awaiting review right now, but I have found myself on the wrong end of illness, and am currently sitting in a hospital, with no clue how long they intend to keep me. The internet access is horrible, to say the least, and my time for laptop play is low as well, so I can give no fair assumption of time at this point for any of the reviews I need to be getting done...hopefully by the end of the week I'll be back at it.

Got the PDF back on the 12th, have yet to see the physical book show up, is there a problem with shipping going on?
Glad to see this made it up here. Have added review here as well.
Discovered today that the Hero Lab files for this PDF require the Bestiary 1 data pack, my apologies for not clarifying that before this went live.
Reviewed here and at RPGNow.
Would really like to know why the tracking number for this order, which according to the email (which I received on the 18th) was expected to ship on the 20th, still isn't valid. I understand there was weather, but my money was taken, which as I understand Paizo doesn't do unless they've shipped the product. Now, I'm twelve days past when I received the email, and I have no book, nor do I have a valid tracking number. I called the customer service number earlier and left a message, but didn't get a response that way either. If the book shipped late because of weather I can understand that, what I don't understand is why the tracking number is invalid, and why I can't seem to get an answer from CS.
Picked up a few books from the scratch and dent section of the site the other night, curious as to how scratched and dented a book might get. They arrived today and I'm amazed at what you guys consider a non-mint book, these are in better shape than some of the books on the shelves at my local game store. Fast turn around and excellent product, you guys never fail to impress. Thank you.
Once again another collection of timely goodies. Just downloaded, will be perusing tonight. Thanks

Normally classmates wouldn't have to do it. It's appropriate at my work, though - client vs. service person. The little kids use "vous" with me, but same-age or older use "tu." I always try to use "vous," unless I get too comfortable, have had the person by my cash already or if the person is like, five.
Losing marks for that... I can understand if you weren't using "vous" for the teacher; otherwise, it really doesn't matter and it's appropriate, unless you're in front of the WHOLE class. Then you would use "vous" because you're addressing a lot of people.

Ohmyglob, I wanna jump into the computer and hug her.
This is adorable
I wanna give them all huggles ^^
I wanna give them all huggles ^^
Thank you!
Love it!!
Kick Haku out! She doesn't have a relevant part in the story!
D: But she's the only witness of the whoooollle story!
I love this saga!! XD
Thank you! I loved it too ^^
no problem! daughter of white and servant of evil where my favs XD
Yeah I loved Daughter of White. It's so long though xD
it actually tells most of the story but that Len died and the daughter of green's secret XD
Yeah pretty much
This is too cute. XD Miku looks all mad.
But it's lovely.
But it's lovely.
"Daughter of White" actually isn't part of the "Daughter of Evil" series.. it goes "Daughter of Evil", "Servant of Evil", "Message of Regret", and "Re: Birthday"..
I love their poses though! Especially MEIKO's.
I love their poses though! Especially MEIKO's.
But Mothy made it...and it tells the story from Haku's POV, with info on Miku, soo I basically considered it to be part of the story, as a "meanwhile in the neighboring country of green..." thing. xD
And thank you
And thank you
Ahh, true. I bet there's a Gakupo version too, since a purple-haired, long-haired, pony-tail wearing guy is in one of the Daughter of Evil (it was either DoE or SoE) videos I saw on YouTube (I think it was the original, I'm not sure..), and it seemed to me that that purple-haired guy was the one that Rin sent to kill Miku. There might not be a Gakupo one though since I think Len killed Miku from the point of view in SoE.. *is confuzzled now lol*
LOL this is a great image I wanna cosplay them XD
They are kawaii)

School Data
Discover This School
International Studies Academy, part of the Small Schools by Design Initiative, located on Potrero Hill and overlooking downtown San Francisco, is a small, academic high school drawing on the diversity of neighborhoods throughout the city. International Studies Academy is the ideal choice for students who want to excel in their understanding of languages, world cultures, and global issues. Our vision is to produce global citizens with the essential academic and life skills to be successful contributors to a world wide economy for the next generation.
Students should be working at grade level in their middle school classes or be willing to make an extra academic effort to enable them to participate fully in our specialized programs. International Studies Academy maintains high academic standards and requires specific course work beyond the SFUSD requirements, including 2 years of a world language, 3 years of college prep science and math, and international relations. We believe that all students come to International Studies Academy with natural talents, skills and knowledge that are valued as assets in our community—a community defined by respect for culture, history, diversity and equity. We strive to empower students to access their education, and challenge the community to question beliefs and practices that reinforce the historic power of demographics. In an effort to make college an attainable goal for our students, ISA collaborates with Seven Tepees' college readiness program and San Francisco State to provide the support necessary for access to two and four year colleges and other training programs. In addition, we provide students with opportunities to participate in community service and leadership programs such as CORO and Build On! Student activity groups such as Black Student Union, Gay Straight Alliance and Gifted and Talented Education (GATE ) are a formal part of our seminar program. A special feature of the school is the World Expedition Program. The Student Equity and Access Team works to address issues of school culture, climate, and discipline. The Instructional Leadership Team addresses academic policy, teaching practice, curriculum, and professional development. We encourage students to be curious, open, and informed and to feel supported through positive relationships with staff and other students. We place high value on each student's ongoing intellectual and creative growth and skill-building, and on empowering students to succeed in a broader global community.

11th grade: Discovery of World
*12th grade: Agency
*All 12th grade students will have the opportunity to take college level classes through CCSF during their senior year.
This sequence is supported by our four Design Principles:
Student-centered learning: Students' academic mastery comes from a process of discovery, engagement, and their own interests. Teachers coach and support our students to learn through experience and project-based learning.
Mindset for success: Students have the growth mindset, interpersonal skills, and agency to set them up for success in the 21st century. We take risks and are not afraid to learn from our mistakes or failures.
Community connections: Students are engaged members of our communities. We celebrate and value the various communities we are part of locally and globally.
Safe & Supportive: ISA is a safe place where students, staff, and families identify and address the needs of our students. We commit resources, time, and intention to building strong ongoing relationships. We trust and support one another to overcome personal challenges, such as trauma, in the pursuit of success.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,969 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
Editor's Note: Over the next few weeks, we'll be highlighting some of the most successful, interesting, and innovative crowdfunding campaigns of 2012. This week's category is most-funded campaigns, and we're kicking the series off with the most successful project to date – the Pebble smart watch.
The Pebble smart watch is the most successfully-crowdfunded product to date, having brought in $10.2 million from nearly 70,000 backers on Kickstarter. Even the watch's makers probably didn't think such success was possible. The Pebble team had launched its Kickstarter page with a $100,000 goal – they hit it within two hours of going live. At the campaign's peak, backers were pouring in over $80,000 every hour.
The campaign ran over April and May and earned the Pebble team much visibility, making it the unofficial poster child for the crowdfunding industry. Since then, however, Pebble has been under scrutiny for failing to meet its September deadline, raising legitimate concerns over the lack of accountability project creators have to their backers. Just a few days ago, the team announced that watches wouldn't be ready in time for Christmas.
When it's all said and done, the Pebble watch will likely be remembered more for its failure to hit self-imposed deadlines (and for starting a serious conversation about the viability of crowdfunded products in general) than for its record-breaking Kickstarter campaign.

IMF praises GCC for financial integration strides
The International Monetary Fund recently expressed satisfaction with efforts Gulf countries have made towards establishing a single currency, as well as warning Gulf leaders of the challenges yet needed to be overcome.
The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) established a Customs Union in 2003; a unified currency is expected to be in use by 2010 in the region.
In a statement released on Monday, fund directors said that they "welcomed the considerable progress that has already been made toward economic and financial integration among GCC countries," according to <i>Gulf News</i>.
It added that "They encouraged authorities to sustain the process, by focusing on the integration of financial markets and the establishment of a common monetary authority in order to ensure a smooth transition to the monetary union by 2010."
Rodrigo de Rato, IMF managing director, added in a recent statement, "I am encouraged by the fact that structural reforms undertaken by the GCC countries have already contributed to engendering private sector investment and to a rebound in non-oil economic activity across the region over the past few years."

Sources say Uyghur schoolchildren are discriminated against by Han Chinese teachers.

Uyghur children in China's troubled northwestern Xinjiang region face mistreatment by their teachers in Chinese-language schools, according to sources in the region who say the students are discriminated against because of their ethnicity.
Ethnic tensions in the schools are driving some Uyghur parents to transfer their kids to bilingual schools where there are more Uyghur students to skirt the problem, they said.
One Uyghur man in western Ghulja's Kepekyuz village said his daughter, who is attending second grade at a Chinese-language elementary school, had been beaten "badly" by her teachers many times.
But she was afraid to provide details of the incidents, the father said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
"She just said, 'If I tell you and if you go to my school and talk with my teacher, after you leave the teacher will beat me again. She'll neglect me and won't answer my questions if I don't understand something.'"
His other daughter, who is in grade five at the same school and has also suffered beatings, told him that it is mostly the Uyghur children at the school who suffer physical punishment from their teachers, not Han Chinese students.
Mistreatment by teachers
The Han Chinese population in Xinjiang, which is home to 9 million Turkic-speaking Uyghurs, has skyrocketed in recent decades.
For Uyghur students in schools dominated by Han Chinese students and teachers, discrimination and mistreatment are common, sources said.
A mother in Ghulja city said her son had been pushed to the floor by his teacher at a Chinese-run day care center when he was four years old.
"His face was badly injured and he told me that his teacher was angry because he didn't sleep, and she had pushed him from his back onto the cement floor," she said, speaking on condition of anonymity.
The boy was earlier in another Chinese-run day care institution where she feared his health was in danger.
After those two incidents, she said she cared for him at home and then transferred him to a bilingual school.
"Since then, I stopped sending him to the Chinese day care and sent him to the bilingual school."
One Uyghur mother from the Xinjiang capital Urumqi, Mahire Ghopur, whose children attended the city's No. 43 Elementary School before the family immigrated to Canada in 2004, said her kids had been abused by their teachers at the Chinese-language school "from time to time."
"Once when my son was in grade three in primary school, he was detained for a half day in a dark basement just because he forgot to do his homework. He probably was too afraid [to talk about it] at the time, and he only told me about it a few years later."
Language barrier
The father from Kepekyuz village said Uyghur students – particularly younger children who have not been in the Chinese-language school system long and speak Uyghur at home – bear the brunt of mistreatment from their teachers because they can't follow the teacher's instructions in Chinese.
"Uyghur children are always getting beaten or abused verbally by the teachers, especially kindergarten and preschool children, because they don't understand the Chinese language very well, which makes it difficult for them to understand the teacher."
He added that a few months ago, his friend's young son had been "beaten very badly" by a Han Chinese teacher for not wearing his uniform, and that since then the teacher had ignored the boy in class because his parents had complained to the principal.
Bilingual schools
One woman, also from Ghulja, said she had transferred her third-grader to a bilingual school because Uyghur children are discriminated against in Chinese-language schools.
"You know that at Chinese schools there is no way for them to get the same treatment. It was this way for my daughter too, so I transferred her to the bilingual school when she was in grade two," she said on condition of anonymity.
Xinjiang's bilingual schools, primarily aimed at educating Uyghur students, teach some classes in Uyghur and have more teachers who are Uyghur.
But with government efforts focused on promoting Chinese-language literacy among Uyghur students, critics say that Uyghur culture is being eroded in the schools.
Under the regional "bilingual education" policy implemented over the past decade, schools that used to be run in Uyghur are teaching most of their lessons in Chinese, and Uyghur teachers are being replaced by Han Chinese.
The father in Kepekyuz whose daughters were beaten in their Chinese elementary school said he did not want to transfer them to a bilingual school because the situation there could be just as bad.
"The kids are Uyghur in the bilingual schools, but most of the teachers are still Chinese. So that is no different [from the situation in Chinese schools]."
"Besides, I am hoping if [my children] get the same education as Chinese kids, maybe they can have better job opportunities in the future."
Ethnic tensions
One Uyghur student, now living in exile in Canada, said ethnic tensions in schools had worsened after July 2009 violence in Urumqi and had pushed Uyghur parents to transfer their students to bilingual schools, where they hoped they would be safer.
The July 5, 2009 clashes between Han Chinese and Uyghurs, which prompted a harsh crackdown, was the worst ethnic violence China had seen in decades.
"After the July 5 Incident, the situation got worse. Most of the Uyghurs in Urumqi city transferred their kids from Chinese schools to bilingual schools, or sent them to the other countries," the student said, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
With tensions running high in the schools, aside from mistreatment by their teachers, Uyghur students also face clashes with their Han Chinese classmates.
In 2011, a group of Han Chinese students armed with sticks set upon their Uyghur peers while teachers stood by, sparking protests accusing school authorities of racial discrimination.
The student in Canada said, "I was sent to Canada to study ... because I couldn't go to school back home because I was afraid of my Chinese teachers and Chinese classmates."
Corporal punishment in the classroom
Teachers and administrators contacted by RFA at the Ghulja and Urumqi institutions where the students' mistreatment was reported refused to comment when asked about abuse of Uyghur children.
But a Han Chinese schoolteacher at Urumqi No. 14 Elementary School said teachers use corporal punishment on all students.
"Yes, especially if children do not listen and do something that can harm others," the teacher surnamed Sun said.
"Some children do not listen to their teachers, and we as teachers cannot control ourselves," she said, but refused to comment on whether Uyghur students faced harsher treatment because of their ethnicity.
Call for tougher laws
Physical punishment by teachers has also been a problem in the rest of China, with Chinese legal and education experts calling for stricter curbs on harm against children following high-profile reports of abuse in schools in eastern China last year.
In October, photos and video posted online of a teacher at a kindergarten in Zhejiang province picking a boy up by his ears provoked a public outcry and calls from legal experts to revise the Criminal Code to clarify definitions of and punishments for child abuse.
But tougher laws on child abuse or stricter curbs on corporal punishment in schools may not be enough to stem the mistreatment Uyghur students face if they do not address the discrimination at the root of the problem, one Uyghur mother said.
"The law is there to protect them, not us ... because there is no equality," she said.

JACKSBORO (WATE) – A judge Friday appointed Greg Isaacs as Kenny Bartley's attorney and ordered him held without bond.
At an arraignment Friday morning, Judge John McAfee said he had concerns for the safety of Bartley, his father and the general public. McAfee will not be the judge in Bartley's next court hearing. Instead, a senior judge will be assigned.
The judge also ordered a mental health evaluation at Ridgeview Behavioral Health Services.
Bartley was arrested Wednesday night for the second time in a month's time. He was charged with assault on a police officer. He also admitted to drinking alcohol, which was a violation of his probation.

Bartley recently spent eight years in prison for killing assistant principal Ken Bruce in 2005. In February, a new jury found him guilty of reckless homicide which carried a sentencing of three years.

People are marching in the streets, shouting slogans and carrying signs. All over an Arizona law that might result in people being asked whether they are in the country legally. There is outrage. Umbrage is being taken.
But there is nary a peep over something that happens 100 to 150 times a day in this country. Doors are smashed and homes are invaded by uniformed, badge-carrying, gun-bearing, militarized SWAT teams.
Radley Balko at Reason magazine first wrote about one such raid in Missouri in February. The police shot to death one of the family's dogs and wounded another in the presence of a 7-year-old. A misdemeanor amount of marijuana was found, Balko wrote, and the parents were charged with child endangerment.
An obviously outraged Balko wrote: "So smoking pot = 'child endangerment.' Storming a home with guns, then firing bullets into the family pets as a child looks on = necessary police procedures to ensure everyone's safety."
Now the Reason writer has posted a police video of the raid. Warning the scenes and language are graphic.
Where are the protesters screaming about police tactics? Where is the perspective? Where is the common sense?

I'm Sylvie Damey, french designer living in the french Alps.
I learned to knit as a child, but taught myself to crochet a few years after my first daughter was born and I had started making things for her...
Soon crochet completely took over knitting; crochet is so liberating and enpowering. I love to crochet clothes for my daughters or myself, always focusing on what I'd love to wear on a daily basis ... and what makes me happy ! :-)
I'm a visual learner, so you'll find that I always add several in-progress pictures to my patterns so you always know what you're meant to do next.
Feel free to subscribe to my newsletter to be the first to know about new pattern release, exclusive discounts..: http://eepurl.com/qKUwb
Learn to crochet your very first sweater with this easy-to-follow detailed step-by-step tutorial.
Ready to take your crocheting skills to the next level? Search no more!
With this very detailed visual tutorial, you will learn how to crochet a seamless sweater derived from uber-popular Roselette and Violaine tops.
If you want to branch out from making scarves and dishclothes and already know how to chain, make a single crochet and a double crochet (US terms, UK equivalents given in pattern), you can do this!! In a few hours with the help of this step-by-step tutorial, you will make your first ever crocheted sweater.
This tutorial includes 20 step-by-step photos to complement the detailed plain-english instructions. Meant to be used by people with no previous experience in crocheting with a pattern, there are no abbreviations at all to start with. Then a couple very obvious abbreviations (such as ch = chain, sc = single crochet) will be introduced in the course of the tutorial so you can progressively gain confidence in your pattern-reading skills.
Furthermore, a 2nd version of the exact same pattern is provided using all the commonly used abbreviations and lingo so you can see it's not so difficult after a little practise.
Once you've finished your miniature sweater, you'll be completely ready to tackle the full-size version of the same design, Roselette for babies and girls up to 10yo or Violaine for ladies in size XS to XL: one of my students had finished her very first Roselette baby sweaterone week only after completing this workshop !
And you can do it too!
Pattern is written with a focus on detailed very EASY TO FOLLOW instructions, even for advanced beginner crocheters. Close-up and step by step pictures help you visualize what you are meant to do for each step.
* Detailed written instructions + step by step photos
* Crocheted top-down in one piece. No seaming.

Walt Disney introduced the world to Peter Pan, Queen Elizabeth II ascended to the throne, and the first color television sold for $1,175.
The year was 1953. For Hoosier sports fans, though, the moment was significant for far more important reasons. It was the year that Notre Dame football and IU basketball both captured national championships.
Sixty years later, are we on the road to another special moment?
That leads off 10 thoughts for the weekend.
10. Voter fraud
IU center Cody Zeller was a preseason AP All-American on all ballots but that of one voter.
Who was that guy? How could any intelligent follower of college basketball conclude that Zeller is not one of the six best players in the nation? I want a name and a full evaluation. More importantly, I want the ZIP code for where this guy lives.
9. Playoff preview
Even the most optimistic Colts and Dolphins fans in August would have been challenged to circle this weekend's match-up as a showdown between potential playoff teams.
But here we stand, with both at 4-3, as current No. 5 seed Miami travels to No. 6 seed Indy on Sunday.
As impressive as the Colts were in overtime at Tennessee, the Fish raised more eyebrows by shellacking the Jets. In a tight wild-card battle, this is a game both teams need.
8. Adjust this
There is more at stake than a sectional championship tonight when Roncalli travels to defending Class 4A state champ Cathedral for a sectional title game. A win by the Irish, followed by a regional victory next Friday against Mount Vernon (Fortville), would make Cathedral subject to the IHSAA's new "tradition adjustment." That means the school would move to Class 5A for at least the next two seasons.
That could be big news for Greenwood, as well as a silver lining for the Rebels. The Irish have won six straight Class 4A sectional titles.
7. Here's my vote
Can an interim coach be NFL Coach of the Year? The heart-wrenching saga of coach Chuck Pagano gets much of the attention. In the background and in his stead, Colts interim coach Bruce Arians has done a commendable job in pulling the team together and moving consistently forward.
After an emotional home win against the Packers, followed by a collapse at the Jets, the adrenalin was drained from Indy. Arians put together a game plan and held together a team in arguably the biggest win of the year in overtime at Tennessee. The Colts have done it with a rash of injuries, as well.
Is there any coach that has taken his team further this season? If I was voting (which I don't), the combination of Pagano and Arians would get my vote.
6. Score more
The NCAA, which seldom gets credit, deserves some here. The NCAA's emphasis on the graduation rates of college athletes is starting to pay dividends.
The graduation success rate (GSR) for major sports is above 70 percent for the first time ever. The latest GSR for men's basketball is 74 percent (for those who started school in 2005), up six points from last year. The football GSR is 70 percent, up one point. Most significant, the GSR for black student-athletes has risen dramatically.
What this means is simply that the NCAA is successful in its efforts to put teeth into academic standards. That deserves a cheer from every fan.
5. Fast forward
Is Center Grove a year ahead of schedule? The Trojans football team is very good, to no one's surprise. But things are breaking for this Center Grove football team that makes a state title run even more plausible.
With losses by Carmel, Ben Davis and Warren Central in the first two weeks of the tournament, a relatively young Trojans squad may be in line to challenge for a state title this year. If Center Grove can take care of business against an overmatched Columbus North team, Castle awaits in the Regional.
Certainly, there are a number of capable teams left. But the Trojans just might be the best among the bunch.
4. Traveling circus
Will the NBA let the Pacers succeed?
No, I am not one of those conspiracy theorists who believes that David Stern lurks behind a grassy knoll at every NBA stadium. At the same time, though, I have seen enough games to recognize that the league has a preferential pecking order that is both a discredit to basketball and an entertainment reality. Stars get calls that other players simply don't get.
The Pacers are a great team devoid of superstars, and that may make a difference. You hear NBA executives talk it in terms of earning respect. That is bogus. Three steps are still a travel whether the feet belong to LeBron or a rookie.
3. Losing a foot
Every so often, an off-the-wall suggestion flies by that should be quickly discounted. On second look, though, the author is of such stature that it deserves further discussion.
UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma raised eyebrows and conversation last week when he suggested that rims should be lowered between seven inches and a foot in the women's game.
The thought seems sacrilege as well as an admission that women cannot effectively play on the same court as men.
But is that the case? After all, the net in women's volleyball is shorter and the field in softball is smaller than in baseball.
No one can seriously contest that Geno's idea is well-intended, with a goal of creating a more athletic, entertaining game. But will it fly?
2. Swoosh away
It was almost poetic to see Nike drop Lance Armstrong after overwhelming evidence of performance-enhancing drugs caused the cyclist's corporate presence to crumble. After all, Nike had been unflinching in its support of Armstrong, even using a commercial to lampoon Armstrong's accusers.
Don't paint Nike out to be a corporate good citizen, though. The shoe and apparel firm burned that chance last year when it re-signed dog-abuser Michael Vick to a new shoe deal.
If you want a corporate hero, look at Dick's Sporting Goods, which still refuses to carry Vick's jersey.
1. The Hoosiers and the Irish
That brings bring us back to the start, 60 years removed. Can the Notre Dame football team accomplish what many thought (and may still think) to be impossible?
Certainly a No. 3 ranking has the Irish thinking title. For IU, the No. 1 basketball ranking already belongs to the Hoosiers. But starting at the top and finishing at the top are two completely different things.
Still, the stage is set. In the 60th anniversary of Tinker Bell and color television, maybe we just have to watch and believe.

"Youth in Action in Pogradec" Pogradec by Rasho992
Pogradec Travel Guide: 7 reviews and 37 photos
Pogradec was selected by the organization of Young European Federalists of Albania (or JEF Albania, for short) as the host city for their Youth in Action training course called "Make a difference through and in volunteering". Pogradec is a quiet town on the Albanian side of Lake Ohrid, the 2nd biggest lake in the Balkans.
There were cca. 25 of us, coming from a dozen of European countries, both EU members and non-EU countries. We've spent 9 days in hotel Kalaja, learning about volunteering and related topics, getting to know the host country and partying.
All in all, despite several minuses regarding the accommodation and transport, it was a fun experience. Pogradec wasn't really lively in November, but we've had a fun time ourselves. We've also visited Ohrid in Macedonia and nearby Korçë and Drilon, and also strolled a bit through the capital, Tirana. The whole country was euphoric because of the centennial of the independence of Albania, which added up to this trip's charm. Still, a lot of work needs to be done if Albania plans to become a mainstream tourist destination, and things do not seem to be going forward really quickly!
- Pros:Really low prices, picturesque lakeside
- Cons:Bad infrastructure, no organized public transport to any destination, too much garbage and stray dogs
- In a nutshell:A lot of potential, but still requires a lot of work to create a respectable destination

9 November days spent in Pogradec's hotel Kalaja weren't too relaxing, since I had to worry about the lack of hot water... more travel advice
"Dante" is a small pizza place in Drilon, a short walk along the lakeside from Pogradec. Definitely worth visiting,... more travel advice

The Show with Geoff Sheen
Take It Easy, Rich Guy
Johnny Manziel is going to be picked really, really high in the NFL Draft. But if you are a really rich A&M booster, that's just not good enough. He has to be taken FIRST! And stay in TEXAS! And ALL CAPS! From ESPN:
Tony Buzbee, an attorney and Texas A&M regent, commissioned a billboard in the Houston area encouraging the Texans to draft Manziel with the first pick in the May draft.
The billboard reads "Keep Johnny football in Texas!" and directs people to DraftJohnnyManziel.com.
Even though it can go wrong sometimes (see: Jones, Jerry), the one great thing about having just one guy own an NFL team is they don't have to listen to a committee of bad ideas. Manziel could end up being the best QB in this draft, but to base your pick on keeping a college player in-state? Ugh.

After working together in "London Dreams", actor-comedian Vir Das will share the frame with Rishi Kapoor in Sanjay Chhel's "Khanna Patel".
Vir plays the veteran actor's son in the film, said a statement.
"Khanna Patel" is a comical love story of a Punjabi boy and a Gujarati girl.
"The film is possibly Vir's most commercial outing and he plays a character with a very hardcore Punjabi flavour," said a source close to the project.
Known for his amazing comic timing in films like "Go Goa Gone" and "Delhi Belly", this film also will see Vir Das in a comical role, which goes well with Rishi Kapoor's fabulous acting.
"It also brings Vir's brand of young humour into a film with two legends adding their own magic, and so there's something for all ages," the source added.
The film also stars Paresh Rawal and has been produced by Bohra Bros.

World of Disney has long been a premiere shopping destination at Disney Parks. The first location opened in 1996 at Downtown Disney Marketplace in Florida. The second opened in 2001 at Downtown Disney District in California. There was even a World of Disney that operated on 5th Avenue in New York City during the middle part of this past decade.
On July 12, Disney's newest store officially opened at Disneyland Resort Paris as part of their 20th anniversary celebration.
Located at the entrance to Disney Village, near the entrance to Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park and hotels, the store contains about 15,000 square feet of shopping space (about 1400m2 for those using metric). Like its sister locations in the United States, this destination will be home to a huge selection of souvenirs.
The outside features eight bas-reliefs showing Disney characters and the Eiffel Tower. The rotating domed roof represents a retro-lit globe and has Tinker Bell gilded in gold leaf on top (the dome takes a little over one minute to rotate).
Inside, the center piece is a hot air balloon with Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse and Pluto. (It reminds me of my favorite scene from Impressions De France at the France Pavilion in Epcot.) There is also a series of murals that pays tribute to the five continents that line the walls. The center area is supported by 10 columns, which is a tribute to major Parisian department stores.

Skip to comments.Breitbart lays the trap for Sherrod's fraud?
Posted on 08/10/2010 8:48:58 AM PDT by Windflier
Did you know that Shirley Sherrods, the newly minted "unbigot", family sued the Feds and got $13 million--for being "black farmers? "Well, folks, youll just have to ask the woman who not only spearheaded this case because of her position in 1997 at the Rural Development Leadership Network but whose family received the highest single payout (approximately $13 million) from that action Shirley Sherrod. Oops again"
Did you know the person responsible for the payment of over $1.3 billion to 86,000 black farmers was.....Senator Barack Obama?
"Yes, folks. It appears that Ms. Sherrod had just unwittingly exposed herself as the perpetrator of one of the biggest fraud claims in the United States a fraud enabled solely because she screamed racism at the government and cowed them into submission. And it gets even more interesting. Ms. Sherrod has also exposed the person who aided and abetted her in this race fraud. As it turns out, the original judgment of Pigford v. Glickman in 1999 only applied to a total of 16,000 black farmers. But in 2008, a junior Senator got a law passed to reopen the case and allow more black farmers to sue for funds.
The Senator was Barack Obama."
Oh, did you know that while this applied to 86,000 black farmers, there are only 39,000 black farmers?
"In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination during the period 1983 to 1997. The case was entitled Pigford v. Glickman and in 1999, the black farmers won their case. The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims. But then on February 23 of this year, something shocking happened in relation to that original judgment. In total silence, the USDA agreed to release more funds to Pigford. The amount was a staggering $1.25 billion.
This was because the original number of plaintiffs 400 black farmers had now swollen in a class action suit to include a total of 86,000 black farmers throughout America.
There was only one teensy problem. The United States of America doesnt have 86,000 black farmers. According to accurate and totally verified census data, the total number of black farmers throughout America is only 39,697. Oops."
Can you spell MORE corruption from the Obama Administration and Democrats--even more than Rangel, Murtha, Jefferson and Waters combined!
You may have to click on the "August 2010" link on the upper right hand side of the website to access this article. It's a fast moving website, so stories move off the front page fairly quickly.
You should find the Counterpunch article by someone that worked for Sherrod - that is also eye-opening.
Is this the Democrat's August surprise?
Well, well, well. This might explain the hasty firing by the 0 administration upon the public airing of Shirley's name.
Could this be why you and I and our customers have no more money to spend?
In the wedding business I have seen spending in the photography areas go down 80 to 90% in the last two to three years.
This appears to be fairly major news if I understand it correctly. It's hard to say if I understand it correctly though, since it's incredibly poorly-written.
If there's anything this White House can't do right is vet these malcontents for possible shady pasts.
Has the payment been halted?
ho lee crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama was afraid all this REPARATION FRAUD was going to come out. He knew who she really was...and tried to dump her quietly...but she's a little lame...and wouldn't go quietly.
I cannot imagine that many of those farmers even knew about this scam being perpetrated in their names. I have to believe there is more pride in self-reliance.
Most farmers depend on God, their land, the weather and family members to harvest the fruits of their labor -NOT THE GOVERNMENT and certainly not at the expense of others.
If I were a member of Congress I would not attach my name to, or sign onto any bill that defined any portion of the beneficiaries as "black". Can't we get past this BS and focus on helping "poor farmers" or farmers of these economic standards, or who have been hurt by specific natural disasters.
If a black farmer and a white farmer both have their fields flooded, do we give one of them aid, and the other not? Simply based on their skin color?
If this were a game, at this point I would mutter, "WTF", get up and walk away.
This is crazy.
The problem is who will pursue an official inquiry, the justice dept?
And they may still not know it, and there might be made up entities collecting money illegally from this payout. How else do you explain double the number of actual AA farmers being included in the settlement? This has to be investigated.
Not surprised - we knew about the windfall of $13 Million, but not about the direct OBAMA connection.
0bama "got a law passed to reopen the case and allow more black farmers to sue for funds... In 1997, 400 African-American farmers sued the United States Department of Agriculture, alleging that they had been unfairly denied USDA loans due to racial discrimination...The government agreed to pay each of them as much as $50,000 to settle their claims. But then on February 23 of this year...the USDA agreed to release...a staggering $1.25 billion."
"the person responsible for the payment of over $1.3 billion to 86,000 black farmers was.....Senator Barack Obama."
0bama = Looter Guy. He gets in, finds the bottomless till and starts distributing to his mob.
Not crazy. Diabolical.
Read these for more info.....
They may touch on the tabloid stuff, and then only to those surrounding the president and only so far as to maintain their credibility (or so they believe).
Obama wasn't the only senator that helped 'em out. Grassley had his hands in it too.
Isn't this the so called "settlement" that the Senate recently refused to fund?...and rightfully so. Rediculous!!
Like Santa Clause...someone needs to start making a list...checking it twice...Must be public records
Lets see who got what... by name, residence and SS#
Unfortunately, a sizable portion of the African American community is being used by the socialists/Marxists; to confiscate wealth and cause racial finger pointing. The $1.3 billion is probably in some Chicago bank or campaign coffer.
We must not fall into the trap of 'us and them'. We are all Americans - united we stand, divided we fall.
The elite want that to happen - we cannot let it.
I remember reading about Obama bringing this bill back up when he was a senator just a week ago when this Sherrod stuff came out. He also put the payout on the front burner in the budget once he became Prez.
Sure, the average American can get past race. Nearly all of us passed that point sometime back in the 60s and 70s. But, if you're a black supremacist, like Obama, reparations and "economic justice" are forever.
I hope this blows up in his face.
During the campaign I recall seeing a compilation of legislation that 0bama worked on and voted for while he was a Senator. It was overwhelmingly related solely to blacks. I can understand a black Senator promoting legislation for blacks but it was as if he had almost no other interest. We all know abortion was one of his other interests.
You got me, but I highly doubt it.
Nail, meet hammer.
George, we're obviously promoting to the wrong public. We need to find the Black Farmer's Association and promote to them. They've got money to spend.
This sounds like something Jesse Jackson and JJJ would be part of.
I'm sure you're right. Anyone who is competent enough, and ambitious enough to operate their own farm, isn't looking for reparations from anyone.
Truth is, there aren't 86,000 black farmers in the country (per the article), although Obama managed to get thousands of blacks recognized as such for the purposes of this lawsuit.
That's the HUGE back-story here.
(insert audio of chirping crickets)
Just reading on google. $1.25 billion payment to black farmers HALTED
Of course, it's all blamed on partisan politics.
Something wrong here. VERY wrong.
Per this report, this is a much bigger story than we'd been led to believe.
First of all, it was never clear to me that the Sherrods pocketed the $13 million themselves. I had thought that the whole settlement was $13 million, and that it was divided among a small group of black farmers.
If this report is accurate, what happened was much worse than that.
I understand what you're stating and you're right.
The heck with Hillary. Sarah Palin will go after him if she's gets ahold of the facts, but I am thinking this is a serious criminal matter.
There was probably census data used for a ball-park count of rural residents, with an arbitrary figure per acreage.
In some counties, acreage is often zoned as *farm land* for lower property tax purposes. The Federal bureaucrats are not above calling six tomato plants, a row of corn and 6 egg laying Rhode Island whites as a farm;) LOL!!
I might qualify even.
See post 39.
The chicanery and embedded corruption in these crooks.
Now we know why Sherrod was thrown under the bus so
quickly .. and then, she threw HIM under the bus. It's
like a circus freak show.
As a senator, Barack Obama led the charge last year to pass a bill allowing black farmers to seek new discrimination claims against the Agriculture Department. Now he is president, and his administration so far is acting like it wants the potentially budget-busting lawsuits to go away.
The change isn't sitting well with black farmers who thought they'd get a friendlier reception from Obama after years of resistance from President George W. Bush.
"You can't blame it on the Bush administration anymore," said John Boyd, *snip*
"I can't figure out for the life of me why the president wouldn't want to implement a bill that he fought for as a U.S. senator."
And the dog ate my homework excuse:
"....activists like Boyd have worked for years to reopen the case because thousands of farmers missed the deadlines for participating"
Of course, it was a Kennedy pursuit as well ..
"The Pigford case is a complicated story, but represents how enduring discrimination is, and how long the fight has been—even in this decade—and how tireless Senator Kennedy was.
Boyd was among the farmers who actually did receive compensation from the 1999 Pigford settlement but when he realized how many other black farmers had been locked out—and were going bankrupt and losing their lands, and being denied the kind of support the USDA routinely gives white farmers—he swung into action, and has become a regular presence on the Hill, with literally thousands of meetings with Senators and members of Congress—always with the help of Senator Kennedy.
And Boyd didn't stop at the Hill; he's well connected in Southern black communities, and he joined the Obama campaign very early, under promises that then-candidate Obama would work rapidly to re-open Pigford if elected
—if Boyd would help get out the Southern black vote, which was considered a critical segment of the voting population—but not a slam dunk for Senator Obama.
((nice quid pro quo))
Boyd left his Virginia farm and spent weeks riding around the Deep South, in a van, campaigning with Michelle Obama—just a short while after Sen. Kennedy introduced the 2007 legislation, which, sadly, never became law."
Appears the solicitations for black farmer claims is still active:
~ ~ ~
Black Farmer Claims
If you or a family member is an African-American farmer who tried to participate in the Black Farmer Settlement, but had the claim denied due to its being late please contact our offices immediately. Proposed new legislation may give the opportunity to have late Pigford or late Black Farmer Settlement claims heard.
If you are a black farmer who:
Farmed, or attempted to farm, between January 1, 1981 and December 31, 1996;
Applied to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) during that time period for participation in a federal farm credit or benefit program and believe that you were discriminated against on the basis of race in USDAs response to that application;
Filed a discrimination complaint on or before July 1, 1997, regarding USDAs treatment of such farm credit or benefit application; and
Previously submitted a late-filing request under the Pigford settlement.
Then, you may benefit from legislation pending in Washington, D.C. Please use the contact form below to see how we may be able to help you.
Jeeze .. 'attempted to farm????'
How do you attempt to farm and incur a claim???
I truly have a hard time believing there were that many
black farmers ...86,000 ...that were left out of the loop.
I don't understand this Pigford index/summary site .. maybe someone can decipher.
These figures are a far piece from 86,000:
National Statistics Regarding Pigford v. Vilsack Track A Implementation as of July 22, 2010
Prepared by the Office of the Monitor
using figures provided by the Facilitator.
Class National
Eligible Class Members 22,721 100%
Track A 22,551 99%
Track B 170 1% "
Contining with the Boyd chapter above:
"After President Obama entered office, Boyd was asked by senior White House Advisers to wait for two years for the Administration to take up Pigford again, because it was deemed a low priority in light of all the other critical issues President Obama had inherited.
Boyd was appalled, as he told Ob Fo in this interview, because many of the black farmers locked out of Pigford are now in their seventies and eighties—and they would die before they saw the issue settled.
Many had already lost their farms, or were in bankruptcy—or their children (or grandchildren!) were suffering the same fate.
Boyd held an emotional rally in front of USDA headquarters on the National Mall on President Obama's 100th day in office (above), and within a few days, after meetings with Senior White House officials, including Valerie Jarrett, the Obama Administration announced that it would work rapidly to try to resolve the issue financially, as well as correct the decades of USDA discriminatory practices. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack made the same pledge, and has since amped up USDA's civil rights office, so USDA will at last stop being known as "the last plantation."
Nonetheless, consider that a majority of legislators in both houses voted to expand the original settlement to a totally unsupportable 86,000 recipients and spend over a BILLION dollars -- of our money.
Obama may have sponsored the bill, but he had to have about 300 accomplices to actually make it happen.
And, probably, a lot of them were Republicans...
I suspect the $13M went to the Sherrods. The first class action suit cost USDA about $2B and was settled in 1999. Since then they have found many more "farmers" impacted and that is why Obama needed the extra $1.25B. I am sure if this is allowed to stand, there will be many more "farmers" found in the wood pile.

Matter of time? Texting bans grow in popularity
More and more states are warming to the idea of banning text messaging while driving. It will be interesting to watch whether Oklahoma follows suit next legislative session. State Sen. Debbe Leftwich, D-Oklahoma City, was unsuccessful last year in trying to ban texting behind the wheel but vows to continue her efforts. On the other side of the aisle, Rep. Sue Tibbs of Tulsa has said she will sponsor a bill that bans text-messaging at the wheel and requires drivers to use hands-free devices to talk on cell phones. As of September, 18 states and the District of Columbia have made it illegal to drive and text. Eleven of those laws went on the book this year, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Sixteen other states considered such laws during 2009, Oklahoma among them. Texas, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri are among the states that ban texting while driving only for young drivers. Colorado and Arkansas are nearby states that have banned the practice for all drivers, although Missouri may join that list. Several bills have been filed for 2010 to extend the ban to inexperienced and veteran drivers alike. One Missouri lawmaker said targeting only young drivers is "like saying, 'You can kill yourself if you're over 21.'" At least one bill in Congress would require states to ban texting behind the wheel if they don't want to lose a chunk of their federal highway funds. So it may be just a matter of time before Oklahoma is forced to get on board.
