DO.NOT.PANIC. This story is still da bomb! Poor Team Rocket...
Don't feel sorry for them!! No one likes them, they think that they can sing, their disguises are terrible, and they're just plain annoying. The Pokemon world has improved over the death of those annoying pests.
they're funny sometimes, though.
Chapter 5
The sun was setting and nobody cared where the winds carried our balloon. It was only a temporary stay of execution. If my Staravia was any indication, the skies weren't safe from infected Pokemon either. At any moment, we might be set upon by a wayward Pidgeot or flock of hungering Taillow. They might pop our balloon or just invade the basket. In case of the latter, Dawn, Brock, Pikachu and I hid under a blanket stretched over the top of the basket. It's true that Pikachu's thunderbolts could drop even the highly resilient zombified flying types, for even in death their weakness against electricity remained, but we decided not to chance it. That our balloon had not attracted more attention than it had seemed a godsend and we deemed it better not to test fate.
The balloon would have to land eventually and when it did, we would be no more prepared than we were now. In truth, it mattered little I suppose. There was no environment on the planet safe for us. Pokemon were simply everywhere there was life. The deserts, the mountains or the middle of a bustling metropolis; each setting for a landing was just as dangerous as the last. Wherever Pokemon were, the infection would not take long to find them. These are the things Dawn, Brock and I conversed about in low whisPers under that blanket. That, and our families and friends. Brock's little brothers and sisters. Dawn's mother. The irrepressible human instinct of self preservation was nearly overtaken by our resignation to our fates.
We didn't know where this zombie virus came from. Nobody did. We weren't even sure this thing was a virus because such things couldn't affect Pokemon. Or so we all believed. I don't remember how come. I'm not a doctor. Maybe it was a supernatural ailment after all. We couldn't have known.
Back in the center, we filled our backpacks with whatever food we could find. Mostly granola bars and canned fruit. We ate only what we needed that night, figuring food might be scarce over the next few days, and fell asleep in the less than comfortable basket.
I think my dreams were pleasant ones. So when I was awakened by Dawn's hand pressed tightly against my mouth, there was only a sigh of disappointment for it to mute. With her other hand she held a finger to her lips and then slowly pointed to a little hole in the blanket overhead. It took a minute for my eyes to adjust to the light but when they finally did, they were none too pleased.
Walking around atop the blanket and perched along the basket's corners was the mangiest looking flock of Chatot. No question that they were zombified. The question, indeed, was how to deal with them. Pikachu and Brock had already been fully awake before I came to and they watched the bird Pokemon in still silence. The creatures would mostly scream the all too human screams of their previous victims but sometimes they would repeat last words. "Get away from my children!" "Heaven save us!" "Mommy! No!" "I've always loved you, Jonelle!" Others would repeat anguished crying. It was too much for Brock, who could only think about his little brothers and sisters.
Kneeling over the control panel, he grabbed the joystick which controlled the robotic arm below. I wanted to stop him. Dawn did too, but we dared not interfere lest we drew the attention of those horrible creatures overhead. At the moment, they saw nothing susPicious about our balloon. It was merely a giant, floating perch for them to rest on. Soon, it would try to brush them off. Perhaps they would fight back and discover us. Perhaps they would just leave. Should they do the former, at least it would mean a quick end and sPare us the insanity which our continued survival would surely result in. So really we had nothing to lose and everything to gain on Brock's gambit.
Fate had once again shone on us. At the mere sight of the big metal arm, most of those zombified Chatot took off. A few remained to try and attack the machine but seeing that it hadn't been a living thing after all, they flew off shortly. As they flew off, they repeated those haunting last words of their victims. Vocal legacies of the deceased echoed throughout the night.
We awoke the following morning well rested but in no mood to arise from the bottom of that basket for a couple of hours. I lay there with Pikachu and Dawn's head on my stomach and Brock's back at my feet. Finally, I was compelled by the need to stand and stretch my legs. We all were but we knew what dangers there were in doing so. Carefully, Dawn peeled a little bit of the blanket back from the corner and raised her makeup mirror to see what was outside. Only blue skies could be seen. This was so far a good sign but she would eventually have to poke her head outside to be certain. Pikachu elected to do so instead. Probably for the best as its senses were sharper.
With a resounding "Pika!" we were told that everything was okay. Peeling back the blanket halfway, we all rose, stretching our limbs and cracking our sPines. It was actually a beautiful day. For a second, we were under the impression that things might actually turn out alright. After that second, we realized where we were.
In every direction below us, on every horizon beyond, there was only ocean. Our balloon was blown adrift to sea. To make matters worse, we were only forty feet above sea level. Yesterday, we drifted off at least at a hundred. At this rate, we would be skimming the ocean's surface by late afternoon. But on the bright side, there wasn't so much as a Wingull to be seen in the distance.
The next few hours we floated along were uneventful. The blanket was rolled up and we sat around having a late breakfast. With Pikachu always on alert, we let out our Pokemon two by two to feed them the last of our Pokemon food and give them a breath of fresh air. Anymore and we would have weighed down the basket more than necessary, sPeeding up our eventual touchdown.
Finally, Pikachu barked out a warning. Slowly but surely, something in the air was approaching us in a wobbly flight path. At first we only saw a sPeck in the distance but as it's features grew more discernable, the thing revealed itself to be a Magnezone.
Could a Magnezone be infected by the zombie virus? Previously, we had given it no thought. Magnezone were essentially machines made from microscopic robot cells whose chemical composition was organic steel like that of Steelix or Mawile. It seemed strange to consider that such a Pokemon could succumb to zombification but as the thing drew closer to our balloon, we saw that it was indeed possible.
Its metallic shell was dented, its eye-lenses were cracked and it's navigation was apparently off as indicated by it's erratic, shaky flight path. It was just as lost as we were. Our fears soon dissipated as the Magnezone just floated off, barely aware of our existence.
Hours later, we descended another ten feet to the same, almost sweet monotony we had previously been enjoying. All good things, however, must come to an end. Again, Pikachu called out in alarm and indicated the waters below. Looking overboard, the four of us took notice of a large gray, solid mass along the surface of the water beneath us. A moment later, we were made aware of several others like it. They were following us.
It was a pod of Whalord. The largest Pokemon on Earth. We counted seven of them but around them we also saw the dorsal fins and carapaces of their younger forms, Whalmer, as well as Sharpedo, Tentacruel, Gyarados and various others. We could tell from their hides that they had also been infected. The zombie virus had sPread from land and infected the sea as well. Or perhaps it was the other way around.
Either way, we had an entire ocean of infected zombie Pokemon beneath us, following us and drawing nearer at our balloon's slow descent. There was no land on the horizon either. Within an hour, our fates would be sealed out there in the vast abyss of the sea.

Thank you all for the encouragement. As a little something for the fans, does anybody have any pokemon they want to see zombified?
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
Ninetails. Make it epic. And a mismagius zombie would be interesting, ghosts doesn't have any substance to begin with.
Qoorl and I were discussing Ghost zombies last night actually. Maybe they somehow become living, solid bodied beings in a weird twist. Also, I might throw in a Legendary or two. And I have a kickass idea regarding zombie dittos.
I live. I love. I kill. I catch Pokemons. I am content.
I would like to see an Alakazam zombie. What would it be like for a Psychic type?
People admire and respect their superiors, are repulsed and disgusted by their inferiors, and connect to their equals.
The extreme highs and lows in life get a strong reaction - Yet it the averages in life that most people connect to.
The class system is nothing more then different groups of people grouping with their fellow equals and feeling the sense of separation from their superiors and inferiors.

Chapter 6
We didn't realize it at first but one of the Wailord in the pod had completely submerged itself and swam ahead. We took notice of this when the leviathan resurfaced one hundred yards ahead of us and faced our balloon. Steadily opening that abysmal mouth, it began swimming towards at an alarming acceleration. It was going to eat us before he could even land!
Brock, Dawn and I were stunned into silence. The size and sPeed of that oncoming Wailord made us feel more helpless than any of the zombified Pokemon we had previously faced. Time seemed to slow down. For the elongated moment we looked into Wailord's oral cavity, we saw two infected Sharpedo swimming around and half a zombie Gyarados. The scene was like Hell's fishbowl. This was it, we all thought. All but Pikachu.
With a mighty surge of all its power, Pikachu launched a bolt of electricity high up into the sky where it multiplied in power and descended from the heavens as though cast down by Zeus himself. The attack was Thunder; Pikachu's most powerful attack. We rarely used it on account of how much energy it takes, the lousy accuracy and an unfortunate incident where a Pokemon we battled never fully recovered. But not only did the lightening connect with Wailord, the charge sPread out through the conductivity of the Ocean, stunning every water Pokemon for at least half a mile around.
Wailord sunk down as did the rest of our pursuers. Pikachu collapsed into my arms, breathing heavily. I'd almost forgotten the intense power that little creature was capable of and it was surely in need of a rest. Dawn released her remaining three Pokemon: Piplup, Pachirisu and Buneary. None weighed more than a couple of pounds and all were capable of launching long distance attacks of Ice, Water and Electric type moves. With Pikachu down, we needed them out for at least our peace of mind.
The next hour had been uneventful for the most part except that towards the end, the bottom of our balloon skimmed along the higher reaching waves. To make matters worse, we had sailed into a fog. Everybody was on edge. A massive zombie Gyarados could have arisen ten feet ahead of us and none of us would have known. Finally, something happened to kill the susPense.
Our drifting balloon crashed into a moving ocean liner. It was a safe bet, therefore, that there were people onboard. But why then had the schooling water type Pokemon that previously surrounded us not yet demolished this thing seeking human prey? Dawn surmised that any surviving crew were smart enough not to lean over the railings for the sea creatures to see whereas we, like fools, often slouched on the edge of our basket. Whatever the reason, our fast deflating balloon had evidently pierced itself somehow on the rails overhead and soon draped down along the ship's hull, dragging our basket along its wake. Honestly, we couldn't have asked for a better turn of events as it supplied us with a perfect ladder of sorts.
Dawn recalled her Pokemon and joined Brock, Pikachu and myself in scaling that drooping Meowth facsimile. The sight that met us on the deck however filled us with dread. Beyond the mist, human corpses and body parts were strewn all over the ship. Were we in fact safer in that basket? Perhaps the Pokemon that did this leapt overboard in search of fresher prey. Maybe there were survivors below deck. Either way, we were now trapped. That deflated balloon we climbed slipped off the angled rail while our backs were turned and slowly, Team Rocket's last possession floated off into nowhere.
UnsPeakable horrors aside, it was a pretty sweet ship. We slowly walked across the deck, Pikachu alert on my shoulder, passing by the swimming pool filled with blood and severed limbs. Brock tapped my shoulder diverted my attention to the ship's activity disPlay. Behind the glass were a few posters for the voyage's entertainment. The first one I took notice of filled me with dread. It had been for a Pokemon magic show. On the poster were a Ninetails, Weavile, Pinsir, Alakazam, Charmeleon and Machamp among others. The idea that those zombified Pokemon might currently be running aboard this ship, starving sent a chill down my sPine but apparently Brock was indicating somewhere else.
The poster below read "Featuring Duplica & Her Amazing Ditto Squad!" Duplica! A girl Brock and I had met long ago at the start of our journey. I sighed another slight breath of longing in memory of that girl. Before we could tell Dawn about it though, Pikachu's ears pricked up and we were made aware of footsteps coming our way behind the corner of a wall.
We all stood perfectly still. Pikachu charged itself up silently. Finally from around the corner, through the light mist, we saw the author of those footsteps. It was a girl. It was Duplica! I smiled and took a step forward but Brock grabbed my shoulder. He called her name aloud in a questioning tone. Something was off about her. Then came other footsteps. Three more girls came out from beyond the corner. Three girls similarly dressed to Duplica and, quite frankly similar in almost every way except for a few small features we could hardly distinguish through the mist. This was becoming very strange indeed. Slowly, they all walked towards us and as their closer proximity revealed finer detail, the more aghast we became at what we saw.
They were zombies too. Their telltale scarring, decay and glazed eyes seemed to prove something we thought must have been impossible for were humans not previously immune to the virus? And on top of that, why were there four Duplicas? How could--and then it hit me. None of those girls was Duplica. None of those girls were human.
I wasn't aware that my friends and I had been slowly walking backwards until the moment we sPed up noticeably. "What's going on?" asked Dawn. "Who are those girls?"
"They're not girls, Dawn…" I warned as the four approaching doppelgangers began turning into the zombified likenesses of our gang. "They're Ditto!"
The four of us turned and ran back along the deck we previously crossed, chased by our screaming, zombified twins. Pikachu quickly zapped the one that looked like itself. It exploded in a sPlattering of grayish pink slime onto it's companions. We ran into the ship's dining hall (ironic?) and zigzagged around the tables hoping the confuse them but they either knocked the obstacles aside or jumped over tables, occasionally landing in ways that might kill a man.
We turned to the hallway where I jiggled the occasional doorknob as I passed by guest rooms until I finally came across a door that swung in. Commanding Pikachu to use a thunderbolt which I knew would likely just stun our pursuers momentarily, I motioned Brock and Dawn to follow me inside. We risked trapping ourselves but it was necessary to gather ourselves and strategize.
Pikachu's thunderbolt was quite effective, blowing off faux-Dawn's head into pinkish slime. A moment later, we were inside that guest room barricading the door far more quickly than we did at the Pokemon Center. A large dresser and mattress were pressed tightly against the door and our dining table stood up leaning against the closed curtain of our only window incase they found that method of entry. Even in life, Ditto aren't terribly clever but we decided to play it safe.
When all the room's available furnishings were used up to fortify our shelter, we took a breather. Still, our Ditto clones screamed and clawed at the door. It was really only a matter of time before they got in. "If those other Pokemon from the poster are still on the ship, they're going to hear that." Dawn mused. "How long are we going to keep doing this?"
"As long as it takes." Brock replied sullenly.
"Takes for what?" she retorted. "Takes for us to find a place where we'll be safe forever? Brock it hasn't even been a week and already half the Pokemon on the planet are friggin' zombies! Next week, they'll all be! Next week, you and me, people, we're all gonna be extinct. There won't be a week after that. Maybe it's…maybe it's time we just gave up. I mean, really, it's all just been a game so far hasn't it? To see how long we could last? Why even bother when we know we're just gonna die?"
"Dawn?" I asked. "Before yesterday, were you under the impression that you were going to live forever? Because what you just said, applies to all life. We all know we're going to die sooner or later, why should it make any difference that our lives are sPent being hunted down? Why would you throw your life away just because of that. The way I see it, Dawn, is that we were lucky to have had it so good for so long. We grew up in a society and a civilization where we could take everything for granted and not give it a second thought. But now, we actually have to earn the right live in a world that is drastically changing. And I'll be honest with you, that scares the crap out of me. But you know what? I'm Ash Ketchum. I'm GOING TO grow up, I'm GOING TO become the world's greatest Pokemon Master and I know in my heart that that's a fact. All this is, all this craziness, is just a little obstacle. I'm not gonna let it get me down and you shouldn't either."
I never saw Dawn look at me the way she did at that moment. Even Brock had raised eyebrows. I think I grew up more in that moment than I had on my entire Journey. "So what do we do?" The girl asked.
In resPonse, I picked up a wooden chair and smashed it against the wall. In my hands were the two remaining wooden legs, sPlintered sharp at the tip. I tossed them to Dawn and Brock. "We fight back."

May 4, 2012
DeKALB, Ill. - Football senior Chandler Harnish and volleyball senior Kristin Hoffman were named Northern Illinois University's 2011 NIU Alumni Association Male and Female Athletes of the Year, headlining a list of 24 award winners honored Thursday night at DeKalb's historic Egyptian Theatre during NIU's third annual Victors Awards.
The Victors saw NIU student-athletes, coaches, athletic department and university staff come together to honor the Huskies' best individuals and teams, as well as the 2011-12 seniors from each of Northern Illinois' 17 sport programs. The 90-minute ceremony featured all the trademarks of a traditional awards show, complete with kitschy skits performed by student-athlete presenters, video highlights and even dance and musical numbers.
Midfielder/defender Mike Mascitti (men's soccer) and forward Shaakira Haywood (women's basketball) served as the student emcees with an assist from head cross country and assistant track & field coach Greg Hipp, who Associate Vice-President and Director of Athletics Jeff Compher introduced as the host. NIU coaches nominated student-athletes and teams for the awards, while the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee members voted on the winners.
Harnish, who was the Mid-American Conference Vern Smith Leadership Award (MVP) winner and Offensive Player of the Year and SI.com honorable mention All-American, led the way for an accomplished night for the football team. Other winners from the 2011 MAC Champions included DeMarcus Grady (Unsung Hero of the Year), Head Coach Dave Doeren (Male Program Coach of the Year), and Nabal Jefferson (Mr. Victor E. Huskie).
Hoffman, the MAC Setter of the Year, Capital One Academic All-American and American Volleyball Coaches Association honorable mention All-American, was the lone representative of the volleyball team on the winner list. But the team as a whole took home the Female Program Team of the Year honor after making its first NCAA appearance since 2001.
In order of selection, the male and female Newcomer of the Year winners were Jeff Zimmerman (baseball) and Amanda Corral (women's basketball). Zimmerman was the MAC Freshman of the Year and Corral led the team in points scored (311) and three-point shooting (45%).
Male and female Scholar Athlete of the Year went to Brad Dieckhaus (wrestling) and Jenner Sio (track & field). The male and female Community Service Award recipients were Jared Torrence (wrestling) and Shelby Miller (softball). The Huskie Heart Award went to Megan Melendez (gymnastics) after she bounced back from a torn ACL to win MAC Co-Specialist of the Year for her performances on the balance beam and uneven parallel bars.
The male program and female program Coach of the Year honors were handed out to Doeren and Kathi Bennett (women's basketball). The first-year football coach led the Huskies to their first MAC championship in 28 years. Bennett guided the Huskies to their first two-win MAC Tournament appearance since 2007.
The first of three honors for men's soccer was given to Rocco Taglia (Huskie Pride Award). Sean Totsch's game-winning header-goal in the MAC championship against Western Michigan won the fan vote for Performance of the Year. The MAC champions also took home male program Team of the Year after advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2006.
Four of the awards were swept by the same male and female counterparts. Men's and women's golf took home Academic Team of the Year. Baseball and softball won Community Service Team of the Year.
In the annual Victors Cup competition, which awards points to the Huskie teams for competitive achievement, academic success, community service, attendance at athletic events and voluntary programs throughout the year, the wrestling and women's track and field teams were honored for the second straight year.
Perhaps the most shocking moment of the night, Compher owned up to his promise to the student-athletes if the Huskies won a MAC championship. The deal - Compher shaves his head if the Huskies win a MAC title. The result - The Huskies brought home four MAC titles in 2011-12 as football, volleyball, men's soccer, and men's tennis all won MAC championships. The action - Representatives from each championship team took turns in shaving Compher's head on stage in front of nearly every member of the athletic department and nearly every NIU student-athlete - an audience of nearly 600 people. The moment - priceless for all who were lucky enough to witness.
The evening concluded with the prestigious Mr. and Ms. Victor E. Huskie honors. Determined by overall excellence in competition, in academics and in community service, along with outstanding commitment to Northern Illinois athletics, the accolades went to Jefferson and women's basketball's Courtney Shelton.

My new favorite show. First season is totally epic!
Summary: Four teenaged superheroes -- Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Speedy, established in their desire for greater recognition and respect, namely, a promotion in their positions from sidekicks to full-fledged superheroes, meet with opposition from their mentors Batman, Aquaman, Flash, and Green Arrow. Speedy resigns from being Green Arrow's partner (becoming Red Arrow in the process), whereas the majority seek to persuade their mentors of their worth by secretly taking on a Justice League mission, during which the series focuses on Superboy and his origins. In the end, Robin, Aqualad, Kid Flash, and Superboy negotiate with Batman, who organizes a covert operations team as a practical contrast to the Justice League, whose celebrity status makes it difficult to maintain secrecy over its efforts ultimately under the authority of the Justice League.
Watch the first season online and catch up, then watch it on Cartoon Network to support the show and help with its rating.
Promise this show is so amazing! Better than avatar! Second season isn't as strong and different, but have, faith, it's get really good too!

I want to add google analytics to my free wordpress.com blog. I have the html tracking code but I can't figure out how to add it to my blog from the wordpress.com dashboard.
migrated from webapps.stackexchange.com Jun 25 '11 at 16:23
This question came from our site for power users of web applications.
Since the Google Analytics script uses that tag, it's not possible to add it. This has been asked and dealt countless of times on the forums of Wordpress.com but they do not wish to compromise the security of their site by allowing scripts (Javascript/VBScript).
If you find a place to host your site and decide to use the Wordpress app (found at Wordpress.org), then you'll be able to modify it and add scripts as much as you want! That's what I ended up doing with my blog that I had originally created on Wordpress.com.
Just as an extra, I found this interesting exerpt on their forums:

I just found out that it is not supported: https://en.support.wordpress.com/stats/#additional-info
However, I would still like to know how to add some html script to my wordpress.com hosted site.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery
Jahii Carson, with 20 points at Oregon State (Jan. 10) and at Oregon (Jan. 13), became the first Sun Devil freshman to get back-to-back 20-point games on a Pac-12 road trip since Steve Beck in the Bay Area on March 1-3, 1984. Beck had four 20-point games in Pac-12 road games that year, as did James Harden (2007-08), Ike Diogu (2002-03) and Jamal Faulkner (1990-91), but none of that trio did it on the same Pac-12 road weekend. Beck actually posted three straight 20-point games on the road as he followed that weekend up with a 20 at USC on March 6, as ASU played a single road game to close the season. The Oregon game was the 11th time Jahii had led or shared team lead in scoring on the year.
SUN DEVIL FRESHMAN 20-POINT GAMES (1972-73 to present)
James Harden, 2007-08, 16
Ike Diogu, 2002-03, 12
Jahii Carson, 2012-13, 7
Jamal Faulkner, 1990-91, 7
30 vs. #14 Creighton @Las Vegas (11/24/12)
21 vs. Cal State Northridge (12/8/12)
21 vs. Cornell (11/20/12)
20 at Oregon (1/13/13)
20 at Oregon State (1/10/13)
20 vs. Hartford (12/5/12)
20 vs. Florida A&M (11/18/12)
With 20 points and four assists at Oregon and at Oregon State, freshman Jahii Carson is averaging 17.1 points and 5.2 assists per game. No freshman has averaged 17 points and five assists since Shaheen Holloway of Seton Hall in 1996-97 (17.3/6.3)...has led or shared the team lead in scoring in 11 games this season...has 89 assists, on pace for 150 which has been done by just 11 freshmen at Pac-12 schools...averaging 36.3 minutes per game, best mark by a Sun Devil freshman in history (the Beard averaged 34.1 in 2007-08)...17.1 points per game is second in ASU freshman history only to the Beard (17.8) and Ike Diogu (19.0 in 2002-03).
ASU has outshot the opponent in each of the past seven games, as it shot .473 from the field at Oregon (26-of-55) and held the Ducks to just .407 (24-of-59) on their home floor. ASU is 99-22 (.818) under Coach Sendek when it outshoots the opponent, with the Oregon game the first loss of the year (14-1). In those seven games ASU is holding opponents to .367 shooting (151-of-411).
Opponents have taken 1,044 shots. ASU has 128 blocks. That means ASU blocks one of every 8.1 opponent shots...junior Jordan Bachynski, with 76 blocks, is 39 blocks short of the Pac-12 record of 115 set by Sun Devil Mario Bennett in 1994-95...Bachynski has 137 career blocks, tied for sixth in Sun Devil history...ASU's 127 blocks is already seventh in school history. Next up on the list is the sixth spot with 139 in 2003. The school record is a reachable 172 in 1996-97.
Carrick Felix has scored in double-digits in 16 straight games, tied for league lead with Brock Motum of Washington State...in the past 14 games Carrick is averaging 16.2 points, 8.6 rebounds, has 20 blocks and is shooting 88-of-157 (.561) from the field and 21-of-52 (.404) from the three-point stripe.
ASU has had less turnovers than its opponent in six of the past 10 games and in the past 11 games is averaging 11.2 turnovers per tilt. In the first six games they were at 15.5 turnovers per game.
With 17 points at Oregon on Jan. 14 Evan Gordon reached the 1,000-point mark in his college career. He averaged 14.4 points per game in 2010-11 (460 points) and 12.0 points in his freshman year of 2009-10 (372 points) and has 168 points this year (9.9 per game). He is averaging 12.5 points per game in 80 career games.

There doesn't seem to be a big market for it though, so we've only been able to find a few brands. Most are okay to good. Yesterday we stumbled on Grand Mere's at World Market and had it today - the first one that I can rate as great! This bag made a huge amount compared to the usual offerings, too. It was love at first bite! March 25, 2012

If lawmakers want to make rules about contraception and abortions, then they best take on Viagra, too.
The Daily Beast reports state politicians are responding to recent bills that deal with the reproductive rights of women by pushing their own legislation that would require men who want prescriptions for the little blue pill to hear lectures on celibacy, have rectal exams, provide affidavits from past partners attesting that impotence has been an issue and watch a video that points out all the drug's side effects.
"We're talking about it. That's a start," Ohio state senator Nina Turner, who has introduced a so-called Viagra bill, tells the site. "… If you want to be preoccupied with regulating women's wombs, we're going to do the same thing with men."
Well played, Senator, well played.

Pivotal tc Server
Pivotal and VMware are partnering to deliver well-managed, agile and secure data and application infrastructure for VMware environments across public, private and hybrid clouds. Pivotal tc Server formerly known as VMware vFabric tc Server, is now part of the Pivotal portfolio of products.
Pivotal tc Server provides companies with a secure, supported, and extended Java application server based on and fully compatible with Apache Tomcat. Many companies are attracted by the simplicity and performance of Tomcat but must balance that simplicity with the responsibility of running large server farms hosting mission-critical applications. Pivotal tc Server strikes that balance for both development and operations teams by including optional extensions and packages that facilitate installation, maintenance, upgrade, and performance management, without breaking the essential qualities that make Tomcat so popular.
Pivotal tc Server contains all of vanilla Tomcat 7 and Tomcat 8, and has a few optional extensions designed to make it easier to deploy and maintain. Broken out into three groups, highlighted differences include:
Configuration Extensions
- These changes do not involve any code alterations, they are strictly configuration options present in Tomcat that we implement.
- Multi-instance support using shared binaries - makes upgrading and downgrading the Tomcat version trivially easy for one or many instances – so you can keep your servers up to date and secure.
- Variable substation in configuration files – enables a single configuration to be rolled out to many instances in a farm and enhances consistency.
- Asynchronous Logging – Prevents application slowdowns due to log file contention.
- Security Tuning – some basic changes to ports and JMX monitoring access.
Code Extensions
- Additional functionality provided by Pivotal to enhance Tomcat
- Back-ported bug fixes in maintenance releases - e.g. tomcat-7.0.32.B.RELEASE
- Diagnostics Valve - detailed troubleshooting info in real time when apps become slow to respond
- Configuration Templates – including ability to create custom templates
- Change Tomcat log level via JMX without restarting
- Advanced Session replication with Redis and GemFire
- Oracle Database Connection Proxy - Multiple applications can share a connection while maintaining individual connection identities
Add-Ons and Additional Utilities included
- Improved Windows Service Wrapper
- RPM / APT-GET / Debian installers for Linux
- Startup scripts for Linux
- Chef Recipes
- Puppet Scripts
- Hosted Maven repository with easily-embedded Pivotal tc Server
- Password encryption for database connection identities
- Spring Insight for Developers and Operations
Out-of-the-Box L2 and Session Caching
- Highly scalable and reliable Hibernate L2 caching using a pre-built template for Pivotal GemFire running in Pivotal tc Server, for faster access to data while reducing load on traditional databases
- HTTP session replication via Pivotal GemFire to keep frequently-accessed session data close to application logic, reducing application response times
Professional Support
- Drop-in compatibility with existing Apache Tomcat applications
- Enterprise-class 24x7 production and developer support from the Tomcat experts
- Certified software, updates, and patches
Performance Monitoring and Diagnostics
- Detection, analysis and diagnosis of application performance issues during development
- Real-time insight into the performance and behavior of Spring applications
- Built-in advanced application management and reporting tools

Note: The design of this page is still under consideration. Do not consider any information here a "best practice" until this note is removed.
- To document how common widgets are exposed via AT-SPI across applications and toolkits.
- To minimize descrepancy among common accessible widget implementations.
- To provide a reference for developers who wish to implement accessibility for new toolkits or custom widgets using ATK or similar APIs.
- To provide a reference for AT developers who wish to provide a consistent user experience across applications.
Example: Tree table
- Role
- tree table
- States
- focusable, focused, manages descendants, visible, showing
- Subinterfaces
- table, selection, component
- Relations
- Events
- focus (source: tree table)
- object:active-descendant-changed (source: table cell)
- Notes
- Table cell accessibles are exposed as immediate children of the top table accessible.
- Role
- table cell
- States
- visible, showing
- Subinterfaces
- text, image (both optional)
- Relations
- node child of (on all cells in the first column pointing to tree parent nodes)
- Events
- etc.
- Notes
- Columns containing more than one type of widget are represented by an accessible having a number of accessible children equal to the number of packed widgets. For instance, if an icon and text are packed into the same tree cell, the icon and text widgets are represented by two accessible children below a dummy parent representing the entire cell.
gtk (gail), XUL, Papi
- Roles to distinguish non-trivial cells (check box, combo box)
- Ability to get peer and child counts for a given tree level.
None known
- develop a standard template for writing descriptions
- develop a layout for the site (widget type then toolkit? toolkit then widget type?)
Initial widget types to document
- common chrome widget types
- trivial: button, menu item, sliders, progress bars, radio buttons, labels, check boxes, images
- widget containers: menu bars, menus, tabbed panels
- editables: text entries, text boxes
- item containers: list boxes, tables, trees, tree tables
- complex: combo boxes, autocompletes, spin buttons
- indicators: progress bars, sliders
- common document types
- gail implementations for gtk widgets
- Firefox implementations for XUL widgets, HTML widgets
Do we want to redocument all information for all toolkits even when it's the same?
Do we want to document gail as standard and other toolkits as deviations?
- name of the widget
- known accessible implementations by toolkit/application
- name of the toolkit/application
- relevant toolkit/application version info
- accessibility information
- events fired, when fired (if possible to note)
- event data (at-spi source, detail1, detail2, any_data)
- subinterfaces
- common relations
- common action names
- common object attributes
- missing information
- discrepancies from the norm
- potential improvements
- pointers to other doc about keyboard accessibility (Aaron Leventhal's suggestion)
Can we effectively use MediaWiki's template feature [2] to cut down on the amount of work involved if we ever change the format of our template?

Rated 3 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5 by Kelsey Beautiful rug, fantastic price! As others have said, this rug can be difficult to keep un-stained -- even water creates a stain. However, I've had decent results using a simple mixture of white vinegar and water sprayed on the stains. It doesn't completely remove them, but it does make them much less noticeable. (That being said, I use this rug in my bedroom, where my two rabbits live, so the stains don't bother me much anyway.) Even if they did, though, I think the pros outweight the cons. First of all the price is unbeatable -- I haven't found anything that comes close anywhere else. Secondly the rug is flat, so it's easy to vacuum, and it's MUCH softer than most natural fiber rugs. The simple contrast of the fibers and the black border give it a really nice, polished look. I might not put this rug under a dining room table where it will get spilled on, but for other areas (or if you don't mind some stains) it works great. January 8, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by SadieBird14 Nice rug, great price, stains easily Overall, really like the rug. Great for high-traffic areas (like hallways and family rooms, but not entry ways if you live somewhere it rains/snows a lot). It's low pile so doesn't get torn up easily by dogs/kids or shed like other jute rugs I've owned. Easy to vacuum up loose dirt. Loved that the reverse side had a rubbery consistency, so doesn't slip around on hardwood floors. The only downside for me was that it was made of jute, which stains easily (totally my fault for not reading the tag). I needed a non-slip, low-pile rug for our entryway. Within a day, the rug was totally stained and looked extremely dirty because my family had left snow-covered shoes on it. As another commenter mentioned, finding a stain protector may help avoid spotting (I ended up painting a design on ours to help hide the stains, but would've preferred not having to). January 6, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by kzte1234 Difficult to keep clean I loved this rug, perfect color and size, and I expected it to be hard wearing and durable. The problem is that it is hard to keep clean. White wine bleached out the color so that it looks like bleached out spots, and almost any wet spill no matter how well you clean it changes the appearance of the rug and so now is spotted. A coffee spill immediately cleaned up has totally ruined the rug, so I need a new rug after a year. September 8, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by sfn524 This rug does not last I bought this rug for under a dining room table. While I loved the look at first, the rug is impossible to clean. You cannot use any sort of liquid or water to clean the rug as it leaves a ring and cleaner will bleach the color. Also within 8 months, the rug wore through where one of the chairs was. I would not recommend this rug for use in high traffic areas or a home with pets or children. September 25, 2014

Choosing Our Investments
Domini's approach to responsible investing begins with our Global Investment Standards. These standards are directed toward two fundamental objectives: the promotion of universal human dignity and the enrichment of our natural environment.
Making Better Decisions
A company's social and environmental record can speak volumes about its resiliency, its future prospects and its ability to produce value for society over the long-term. Investors have an important role to play by monitoring and evaluating the companies they invest in to ensure that profit-making is consistent with our shared interests as a global community.
Rigorous application of our social, environmental and governance standards enables us to identify strong long-term investments. It also helps to build the demand for data on corporate social and environmental performance and to communicate our expectations to corporations and other investors. Our fixed income standards seek to take advantage of the unique opportunities provided by that asset class to play a constructive role in community economic development.
We believe corporations that treat their stakeholders well will be rewarded over the long-term. Our approach, which evaluates how a corporation treats communities, employees and the environment, can help to identify and manage risks and opportunities not normally considered by conventional analysts.
Domini provides an approved list of companies that meet our standards to Wellington Management, the subadviser for the Funds. Wellington then uses financial analysis to construct the portfolios.
Evaluating Corporations -- Our Research Process
We believe that our proprietary research process, implemented by an in-house team of research analysts, is industry-leading and a key differentiator for our firm.
Every investment presents a mix of positive and negative social and environmental impacts. A transportation company faces very different sustainability challenges than a pharmaceutical or a telecommunications company. Our process is therefore grounded in each company's core business model to ensure that we focus on what is most important for each company. Learn more about how we use key performance indicators to identify the most pressing sustainability challenges faced by each company.
Approving Corporations for Our Funds
Once our analysts have completed their research and created a profile for a company, we must then determine whether the company is eligible for our funds. This is the task of our ESG Review Committee. We're not seeking perfection. We're seeking to understand whether a company is wrestling with the key sustainability challenges it faces. Learn more about how we assess the alignment of each company with our Global Investment Standards, and approve companies for our funds.
Bond Fund Standards
Fixed-income investors have an important opportunity to address many of the financial disparities that exist in our society today. The Domini Social Bond Fund seeks to play a positive role in the economic development of our communities while simultaneously seeking to achieve competitive returns for our Fund's investors. The Fund's investment standards focus on three key themes:
- Increasing access to capital for those historically underserved by the mainstream financial community;
- Creating public goods for those most in need; and
- Using financial innovation in the service of the economically disadvantaged.
These three themes flow from our belief that healthy economies must be built on a strong foundation of fairness and opportunity. Learn more about the investment standards we apply to our bond fund.

Get an alert for markdowns and new arrivals of Power Breathe!
Some of the most important muscles when it comes to training or competing in athletic events are the breathing muscles. When you can't catch your breath, you are at the mercy of your burning lungs, gasping and fighting off cramps. Not being able to take big breaths is a problem that can truly limit an athlete's performance, which is one of the reasons why Professor McConnell began her research.
Through testing, Professor McConnell discovered that the breathing muscles can be trained to become stronger with longer endurance just like our other muscles. She created the POWERbreathe™ to enhance your ability to take deep breaths and control them consistently without fatigue. In testing it has been shown to increase cycling duration with lower effort by 33%, accelerate your recovery time between sprints by as much as 7%, improve the strength of your breathing muscles by 31.2% and decrease your cycling time by as much as 3 minutes in a 40k. When your heart rate and your breathlessness are decreased, your performance can increase.
Some of the awards that POWERbreathe has earned include the Millennium Mark and a Millennium Product by the Design Council of Great Britain as well as a license agreement with the World Triathlon Corporation. The latest line is the POWERbreathe K-Series which was awarded the UK Plastics Industry's 2010 Consumer Product Design of the Year. This is the highest award that they can bestow. Also, in the UK the medical model is approved as a prescription for people with breathing problems. Don't just improve your race time with the POWERbreathe, improve your life.

The sheer emotional impact of Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock rendition of "The Star-Spangled Banner" sparked my fascination. His squealing guitar effects depicting the incoming descent of bombs that were soon "bursting in air," grabbed me, especially as intensified on film when Hendrix "lip synched" the resulting cries and screams. His performance makes the abstract so very human. For me Hendrix's Woodstock anthem of August 18, 1969, remains atop the list of the most powerful performances of Francis Scott Key's song ever created.
The Woodstock anthem gets even more interesting when compared with the other 40 or so surviving recordings of Hendrix performing the song. They reveal Hendrix's artistic as well as political evolution and define the critical and patriotic extremes of his expression to place Woodstock firmly in the middle as a combination of both. Here's a look at five incredible Hendrix versions of "The Star Spangled Banner.' Want more Hendrix? Catch Mark Clague going deep on all-things Hendrix at the Rock Hall's Library and Archives on Wednesday, March 25, 2015!
Hendrix first references the anthem melody a year ...
"You can play or you can transcend. You can go as far, there's no boundaries how far you can go in your own body and how far your mind can expand while you are playing and Jimi showed me that... I learned that from Jimi." - Neil Young, inducting the Jimi Hendrix Experience into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, 1992
James Marshall "Jimi" Hendrix, was born Johnny Allen Hendrix on November 27, 1942 in Seattle Washington. Hendrix's first studio recording was in March 1964, on the Isley Brothers' track "Testify." From 1964 to 1966, Hendrix recorded and toured with a number of artists from Arthur Lee of Love to Little Richard, Ike & Tina Turner and King Curtis. In September of 1966, Hendrix went to London with Chas Chandler of the Animals, who was instrumental in forming the Experience.
The Jimi Hendrix Experience formed in London in October 1966, and was composed of singer, songwriter and guitarist, Jimi Hendrix, bassist and backing vocalist Noel Redding and drummer Mitch Mitchell.
The Experience didn't come into prominence in the United States until their 1967 performance at the Monterey Pop Festival, where the band's performance ended with Hendrix ...
In 2000, Al Hendrix, father of legendary guitarist, songwriter and musician Jimi Hendrix, sat down for an interview in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum's Jimi Hendrix exhibit. In this clip, Al Hendrix shares memories of his son, including Jimi's first interest in music and playing the guitar, Jimi's move to London, the first time he heard Are You Experienced, seeing his son perform for the first time, hearing Jimi's version of "The Star Spangled Banner" and more.
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland, Ohio, is home to a singular collection of Jimi Hendrix artifacts that help tell his story, from his boyhood days in Seattle, Washington, through his meteoric rise to superstardom.
In this clip, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum curatorial director Howard Kramer tells the story behind two of the guitars featured in the Rock Hall's Jimi Hendrix exhibit: the 1967 Gibson Flying V dubbed "Love Drops" and the 1960s 12-string Zemaitis acoustic made famous when Hendrix played it in the 1973 movie A Film About Jimi Hendrix.
Jimi Hendrix was born 70 years ago today, on November 27, 1942. The Library and Archives' collections showcase Hendrix as much as – if not more than – most inductees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His great rock and roll legacy is the basis for expansive collections that include books, magazine and journal articles, commercial and bootleg audio and video recordings; concert handbills, postcards and posters; record executive artist, business and subject files; promotional and concert photographs, and handwritten lyrics – all related to Hendrix's meteoric career.
Library and Archives collections focused on Hendrix include those donated by Michael Goldstein, Ed Chalpin, and Jeff Gold. Goldstein is a New York City publicist who served as Hendrix's press manager and publicist from 1967 until Hendrix's death in 1970, and his collection contains clippings, printed ephemera, photographs and press releases related to Hendrix and other artists with whom Goldstein worked.
Ed Chalpin, an entrepreneur and record producer, signed a three-year recording contract with Hendrix and his New York-based R&B band, Curtis Knight and the Squires, in October of 1965. The contract gave Hendrix only one percent of any royalties that his recordings earned and the sum of ...
On November 27, 1942, arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music was born: Jimi Hendrix. In less than three decades, he expanded the range and vocabulary of the electric guitar into areas no musician had ever ventured before. His boundless drive, technical ability and creative application of such effects as wah-wah and distortion forever transformed the sound of rock and roll. Hendrix helped usher in the age of psychedelia with his 1967 debut, Are You Experienced, and the impact of his brief but meteoric career on popular music continues to be felt.
More than any other musician, Jimi Hendrix realized the fullest range of sound that could be obtained from an amplified instrument. He was influenced by the songwriting of Bob Dylan and the Beatles, and bridged myriad genres, from acid rock, Delta blues and free jazz to hardcore funk, R&B and soul. Yet the songs and sounds generated by Hendrix were original, otherworldly and virtually indescribable. In essence, Hendrix channeled the music of the cosmos, anchoring it to the earthy beat of rock and roll.
Hendrix was born Johnny Allen Hendrix in Seattle to 17-year-old mother Lucille Jeter and father James "Al" Hendrix, who was ...

With such an incredible catalog of work, it's impossible to overstate the impact of the 1992 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee. The Rock Hall selected 10 songs that we feel are essential listening. What songs would be on your list?
"The Wind Cries Mary" (Are You Experienced, 1967)

I was fortunate to spend this past weekend in Chicago, where Eric Clapton held his third Crossroads Guitar Festival on Saturday. The shows benefit Clapton's Crossroads Centre, a rehab facility in Antigua, and they are a virtual who's who of great guitar players. This year's festival, at Toyota Park, featured performances by everyone from B.B. King and Buddy Guy, to Ron Wood, ZZ Top, Jeff Beck and Johnny Winter, to such relative newcomers as John Mayer, Johnny Lang and Citizen Cope.
Terry Stewart, the Rock Hall's President and CEO, was also there, and we were able to spend time with some of our inductees, as well as with Larry Yellen, a filmmaker who works on our annual induction videos, and other folks from the music business.
The show always features one-of-a-kind performances, and some of my favorites this year included Robert Cray's set with Jimmie Vaughan and Hubert Sumlin, ZZ Top's take on Jimi Hendrix's "Foxy Lady" and Buddy Guy's performances with Ron Wood and Johnny Lang. John Mayer once again displayed his virtuosity on the guitar, backed by Pino Palladino on bass and Steve Jordan on drums, and Derek Truck ...

Mark Ruwedel Wins 2014 Scotiabank Photography Award
Landscape photographer Mark Ruwedel is the winner of the 2014 Scotiabank Photography Award, the bank announced this evening at an awards ceremony in Toronto.
In addition to receiving a $50,000 cash prize, Ruwedel will have a book of his work published by Steidl, and will have an exhibition at Ryerson Image Centre, Ryerson University, in Toronto.
"I've followed the development of Mark Ruwedel's work with keen interest for over thirty years," Edward Burtynsky, co-founder of the award and chair of the jury, said in a prepared statement. "He is a master of seeing and printing and has inspired countless landscape photographers."
The two other finalist for the prize were Rodney Graham, a conceptual artist working in a variety of media including photography; and documentary photographer Donald Weber, who was one of the PDN's 30 in 2008.
The Scotiabank Photography Award was established four years ago to honor the work of contemporary Canadian photographers. Previous winners include Stan Douglas, Arnaud Maggs and Lynne Cohen.
This year's finalists were selected by a three-member jury that included Robert Bean, an artist, writer and photography professor; Catherine Bédard, an art historian and Deputy-Director of the Canadian Cultural Centre; and Ann Thomas, Curator, Photographs Collection, at the National Gallery of Canada.

Did you know the Utah legislature is working on a bill (HB187) to make photographing or recording agricultural operations without permission of the owner a crime?
But the Utah agricultural community has been working hard to earn the trust of a clean, healthy agricultural system that has nothing to hide, and pictures of happy and healthy animals are one of the great ways to show the healthy system. Is it possible that unhealthy farming practices will be encouraged with this bill passed?
So, here are some great upcoming Slow Food Utah events that will teach you how you, too, can become a part of practicing healthy, effective ways to promote the values of good, clean food.
March 13 - Sorenson Center Unity Garden Workshop: Planning and Structures
This free workshop will teach how to plan your garden, group and rotate your plants, and build useful structures.
RSVP at 801-535-6533 by Monday, March 11. The event will take place at 6 p.m. at Sorenson Unity Center, located on 1383 S. 900 West.
March 13 - Chef-Producer Mingle
Come meet the chefs and restaurant managers who can help you get your great local food onto their restaurant's menu in a casual setting. The evening will be at Loggia behind Lugano Restaurant on 3365 S. 2300 East from 4 to 7 p.m. Contact email@example.com if you haven't received an invitation.
March 21 - Slow Food Utah (SFU) Book Club
The book for march is "Blood, Bones and Butte" by Gabrielle Hamilton. The King's English Bookshop will have a selection for a discount for the book club members, and remember to bring a dish or drink to share. The club will meet at 6:30 p.m. Contact email@example.com for the location.
March 24 - Farm Mob
This is a day of service work to help local farmers. It will be a great way to learn what it takes to be farmer, and you will get your hands dirty and eat some good food donated by Roots Cafe. This event will be at the New Roots Refugee Garden on 3060 South Lester Street, West Valley City from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Contact email@example.com to sign up and for details.
March 29 - Wasatch Coop Member Meeting
Wasatch Cooperative Market will soon open a member-owned grocery store that sells high-quality natural, healthy, sustainable foods, goods and merchandise produced locally.

Rated 5 out of 5 by SweetLB Beautiful! This khaki color was good. I ordered this to offset the natural curtains that I bought. The natural ones were too yellow so these khaki ones toned down the look on my patio. Good thing I needed another 2 panels:) Anyway, I love these. March 31, 2013

All branches of Marin County Free Library will be closed on Monday, July 4 for Independence Day.
There comes a time in a child's life where "a little bit scary" becomes fun! It must be a rite of passage for all kids to share ghost stories by the campfire or in the dark----knowing that there's a flashlight nearby! Try these books for a scarier Halloween---but not scary enough to have nightmares!
And if your child doesn't like scary stories either he's too young or it's just not his thing and may never be. There are many adults who have passed through childhood without being the slightest bit interested and that's ok too!

An 18-year-old Townsend man, who police said burglarized and assaulted a man in his William Penn Village apartment Jan. 1, is being held in the Howard R. Young Correctional Facility.
Robert Johnson, who resides in the 600 block of Taylor Street, was unable to post the $5,000 secured bond he was issued after being charged with second-degree burglary and robbery.
At around 7:26 p.m. Jan. 1, New Castle County Police were called to the unit block of Windmill Lane for an assault that had just occurred.
When officers arrived, the male victim said that an unknown subject who unlawfully entered his apartment and stole his laptop computer assaulted him, said Cpl. John Weglarz, a spokesman for the County Police department.
Police learned that the victim had several people in his apartment during the day and at around 7 p.m., he asked them to leave.
Soon after, the victim heard those subjects causing a disturbance in the hallway, and seconds later, Johnson knocked on his door, Weglarz said.
Police said that Johnson punched the victim in the face and forced his way into the residence. He removed the victim's laptop and fled the apartment on foot.
After speaking to witnesses, police were able to determine Johnson was the burglar and were able to locate him at a nearby restaurant where he was with friends.
Johnson was charged and committed after failing to post a $5,000 secured bond.
The victim's laptop was recovered at the home of Johnson's friend.

(AP Photo/Richard Drew) JULIANA BARBASSA| Associated Press Comments RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — From the parishes of Poland to the churches of Chile, Roman Catholics around the world were stunned Monday at the first papal resignation in six centuries, even as many prayed for a new charismatic pontiff who could lead the church into a new era after decades of disaffection and mistrust. Cardinal Thomas Collins of Toronto, Canada, echoed the sentiments of many of the faithful Monday when he said, "It was quite a shock. I was like, 'The pope has resigned?'" "We received the news with great regret and much surprise," said Honduran Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, who is among the Latin American prelates under speculation as possible papal successors. "This is something completely new for the Catholic Church though it was discussed during the illness of Pope John Paul II. I didn't know Pope Benedict XVI would make this decision, but the last time I talked to him he seemed physically tired." Alis Ramirez, an ice cream seller headed to church in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas, insisted, "He can't quit like that. This can't be." But a few didn't consider it bad news at all. "I don't care or feel sorry that that the Pope resigned because he never entered my heart like John Paul II did," said Rosita Mejia, who sells religious icons outside La Merced church in downtown Santiago, Chile. "In fact, it's good that he leaves. He's done his job and it's time for him to rest. In five years outside this church, only one person asked me for a Benedict stamp, while hundreds asked for John Paul's stamp." Inside, Pedro Prado mopped the shiny wooden floor of La Merced, where he has been the sexton for more than 25 years. "It's not normal for the pope to resign. I just hope health is the real reason. There were a lot of issues coming out with the pope's butler papers," said Prado, referring to the scandal over a former butler stealing documents from the papal apartment. The pope's announcement that he will step aside on Feb. 28 brought reawakened calls for a more energetic successor, perhaps from Africa or Latin America — long considered a bulwark against continued losses in church membership in Europe and the United States. While the church has been battered by growing secularism and sex abuse scandals in the northern hemisphere, the number of believers is growing in Africa, as well as Latin America. "Europe today is going through a period of cultural tiredness, exhaustion, which is reflected in the way Christianity is lived," said Bishop Antonio Marto, of Fatima in central Portugal. "You don't see that in Africa or Latin America where there is a freshness, an enthusiasm about living the faith." In Latin America, home to about 40 percent of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, believers hoped the cardinals who select Benedict's successor will pay close attention to candidates from their region. "I think it's time to name a pope from Latin America," 65-year-old homemaker Josefa Sanchez said at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in Santa Tecla, a city on the outskirts of El Salvador's capital of San Salvador. "Really, they should name one of ours, they've only named Europeans until now." In Brazil, Zulma Alves, a cook who was lighting candles in front of a Rio de Janeiro church that was closed for Carnival, said: "We need someone young who can bring back the dynamism to the church." But Ferya Caicedo, of Pradera, Colombia, said in the end "It doesn't matter who it is: be it a Latino, European or Asian." "This world is crazy, with lots of violence, lots of corruption," she said. "We are killing one another for crumbs and we need God's messenger, whoever it may be, to get us out of this situation because we are lost." African Catholics also expressed hope for a leader from their midst. Some 176 million people in Africa are Catholic, roughly a third of all Christians across the continent, according to a December 2011 study by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. Meanwhile, the number of Catholics in Europe, the traditional stronghold of the church, has dropped in recent years. The African nation with the biggest Christian population, Nigeria, has some 20 million practicing Catholics. In Lagos, its largest city, trader Chukwuma Awaegwu put his feelings simply Monday: "If I had my way an African should be the next pope, or someone from Nigeria." "It's true; they brought the religion to us, but we have come of age," he said. "In America, now we have a black president. So let's just feel the impact of a black pope." Elaine Herald, manager at St. Theresa of the Infant Jesus Parish in New Cumberland, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, welcomed the speculation about a progressive pope, perhaps a black person. "We're kind of excited at the (prospect) of a pope that our Catholics seem to be screaming for," Herald said. Others praised Benedict precisely for his defense of traditional values. "He has always been a defender of the faith against women in the clergy, against Planned Parenthood, against abortion. He's been a defender of the faith against heresies in the church," said Eric Husseini, a member of the conservative Catholic movement Opus Dei, after attending morning Mass at St. Mary Catholic Church in Hagerstown, Md. Many Catholics, however, said they admired Benedict for his bravery and modesty in deciding to step aside. The resignation was an act of deference to the greater good by a man "demonstrating his humanity," said Father Luis Rivero, Archdiocesan director of campus ministry for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Miami. "There are times that only we know that we have to let go. And sometimes people may see that as a failure, but it's honorable when someone reaches their point they have to let go because they can't do this effectively anymore." ———— Fabiola Sanchez in Caracas, Venezuela; Rob Gillies in Toronto, Canada; Alberto Arce in Tegucigalpa, Honduras; Barry Hatton in Lisbon, Portugal; Dave Dishneau, in Hagerstown, Md.; Peter Jackson in New Cumberland, Pa.; Yinka Ibukun in Lagos, Nigeria; Marcos Aleman in San Salvador, El Salvador; Gonzalo Solano in Quito, Ecuador; Suzette Laboy, in Miami, Fl.; and Cesar Garcia, in Bogota, Colombia contributed to this report. ———— AP video online: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8flqf9—Vfs Get The Advocate in your inbox Subscribe

On Friday, June 29, Monsignor Kevin Sullivan appeared on the weekly PBS program, "Need to Know." The program focused on the theme of "Solving Poverty in America."
In the American Voices segment of the program, which Msgr. Sullivan reflects on the roots and the meaning of the Catholic Church's obligation to serve the poor in our community — and how this is put into practice at Catholic Charities.
Watch American Voices: Monsignor Kevin Sullivan on PBS. See more from Need To Know.
"Our primary obligation as Catholic Charities is to see in the person in need the image and likeness of God," said Msgr. Sullivan. "We help people not because they're Catholic, but because it's part of our faith. Jesus wasn't neutral on people. He had a preference for those who were poor, those who were downtrodden, those who were outcast, those who were on the margins. And if I call myself a disciple of Jesus Christ, then I best follow that example."
Watch Msgr. Sullivan's entire segment above, and leave your thoughts in the comments.
Tune in to PBS "Need to Know" on Friday, June 29 at 8:30 pm to see Msgr. Kevin Sullivan's American Voices segment and other perspectives on poverty in America.

Popular sports bar and restaurant, The Clubhouse, closed last week at 100 E. Pine Street in downtown Orlando. I stopped by a few days ago and saw the gutted insides of the watering hole.
There was no note on the door, only a sign for the realtor — so I called them. A represenative from Grubb & Ellis Commercial Florida said the business had been asked to leave.
A message on The Clubhouse's website originally said that the sports bar was moving to another location downtown within 60 days. Now there is a message stating "Check back soon for reopening dates and locations." I still haven't reached the owners so the new location remains a mystery.
As far as the Dr. Phillips location at 7572 W. Sand Lake Road, I've tried calling and no one has answered.
I know this is a favorite place for many, especially with the playoffs happening, so I'll update you on what I find out as soon as I hear anything.
The same goes for any updates on the Pine Street space it vacated.

Spotlight for Recruiting ProfessionalsNovember 13, 2013
by Sue Keever Watts
There's been a lot of talk lately about the candidate experience. Companies go to great lengths and expense to understand how they can exceed a candidate's expectations as they go through the job-search process. New research has shown, however, that when it comes to exceeding expectations, there's little to no return on investment. Surprising as that may sound, what most people want is for their expectations to be met; not exceeded, just met. Students have things to do and the more hassle-free the process, the happier the candidate.
The concept of customer delight was created by a consumer-marketing guru who believed that if you continue to give customers more than what they asked for, you'll create loyalty. But, there's new evidence that suggests the higher you raise the bar, the more the customer will come to expect and the more likely you are to disappoint.
My experience conducting research of students has yielded similar results. They say that selecting an employer comes down to two things: the process and the people. If the process is labor-intensive, unprofessional, confusing, disorganized, frustrating, or time-consuming, and there's no one available to troubleshoot, it casts a negative impression on the entire organization.
Think of the process as a part of your brand. What if the only interaction the student had with your company was through your process? Would they think you were competent, professional, empathetic, customer-focused (by customer, I mean the student), and able to quickly and efficiently solve problems? If you can't answer that question, then I encourage you to stop immediately and walk through every single step that the student goes through to interview with your company—from the first visit to your website to the offer letter.
The same goes for the people whom students interact with during the job-search process. Do all of the people from your organization treat students as individuals? Do they personalize the experience or do students feel like a number? Do they simplify the process by answering student questions? It's important to equip your team with the information needed to respond to student queries. You don't want to send a student to another person within your organization or to the website to get answers—that makes the process more time-consuming and ultimately more frustrating.
A student may interview with an organization he or she views as exciting or highly reputable, but will be unlikely to accept their offer if the process was clunky or time-consuming. The heart of recruiting lies in creating a simple, hassle-free process that's supported by knowledgeable, resourceful team members.

If Allen Iverson's contract was voided with the Turkish men's basketball team because he failed a drug test, I imagine it would get significant attention.
But WNBA star Diana Taurasi can breathe a sigh of relief, I guess.
New stories circulated recently that Diana Taurasi's contract with a Turkish team was voided after she twice tested positive for the drug, modafinil. Taurasi denies ever taking the drug and she faces a potential two-year ban, thus putting her eligibility for the United States 2012 London Olympics in serious jeopardy.
Have to admit here I'm a little surprised this story didn't pick up a bit more steam. Diana Taurasi is only one of the WNBA's biggest stars.
Then again, I guess no one should be startled at this point that Diana Taurasi's ESPN cover will always draw more attention than what she does on the court. Sad.

5th Annual Playing For Good
Saturday's star-studded fifth annual Playing for Good poker event at the home of Hank Azaria, co-founder of Determined to Succeed, benefited two LA-based nonprofits: The Geffen Playhouse and Azaria's Determined to Succeed. More than 150 players including Hank Azaria, Ben Affleck, Jason Alexander, Don Cheadle, Kevin Pollack, James Woods, Jared Padelecki and Jennifer Tilly participated in the deep stack no-limit hold'em tournament sponsored by ARIA Resort & Casino. Producer Andrew Shack won an extravagant VIP Las Vegas weekend at ARIA Resort & Casino and a one-week trip to the Four Seasons Hualalai Resort in Hawaii.
Guests were treated to mini-makeovers, massages and oxygen facials by Bliss Spa while enjoying Double Cross Vodka specialty cocktails and Echelon Vineyards wines. Culinary delights flowed throughout the day with fare ranging from burgers to freshly rolled sushi donated by Sugarfish and decadent dessert from My Vienna Gelato. Readers Fine Jewelers held a specialty trunk show with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the two charities.
Prizes were handed out "school-yard style" with the players choosing the items in the order that they placed in the tournament, with every player at the final two tables getting a chance to experience a deluxe room at Aria Resort & Casino.
