The Show Goes On
love this song lupe the first time I heard I could'nt help but listen to it over and over. I love you music when your album comes out I'll be sure to be the first one to buy it
Are you serious!?!? Dude, You are Amazing!! This song is like a breath of fresh air. Literally! You make me proud to be among a lot of others things from the Westside! Keep it jo.
@kay-9 i seriuosly agree wit u but i would say Lupe is confortable with dha amount of friends he got right now...Lupe is where we want him to be....the music he makes isnt made to b commercialized or heard in the club its made for us to go out and buy the albums nd buy his extra songs
It is so refreshing to have rap music be on a higher plane, it helps us ppl who are professional, well respected citizens have a leg to stand on when it's time to defend true rap music as a legitimate art form. Love Lupe!!
He's done work with Kanye, Jay-Z, Snoop, N.E.R.D./Pharrel, B.O.B., Bun B, Young Jeezy, T.I. he works with alot of people. The problem is not him it is the people he is trying to send his message too, I know we are all die hard Lupe fans here, but Dumb It Down talks about this, even if he Collaborates with someone like Waka Dash or Nikki, his message won't be well received because it doesn't talk about something ignorant about Throwing up stakes and decadent indulgence and wastrel behavior. He would have to get with people like Drake(Depending on if he does his style or the mainstream young money style), Wale, Kid Cudi(and I really hate Cudi) just so it would hit a more receptive audience. He will probably hit the same wall as Andre 3000
@JXL i totally agree with you but i rather Lupe stay out of the whole collaberating with a mainstream rapper to get the commercialism (he doesn't need it) all he needs is us as fans to listen to him and spread his words and music through listening to it nd putting all of out friends on the W.M.D's he be spitting
If this is the sound we're gonna hear form L@sers Imma pick up a copy for sure. Lupe keep doing your thing and don't let the industry get to you
Lemme preface my comment by saying Lupe Fiasco is one of the greatest representations of the English Language we have in any literary works period. Whether lyrics, prose, or even spoken word he has mastered the ability to motivate and educate while still being the picture of humility. Martin Luther King Jr. Is proudly smiling upon him. Now when it comes to the music, what if T-Pain did this hook? Not too many people in the industry have as recognizable a voice (albeit auto-tuned) as T-Pain and I think it would be a perfect way to add the commercialism he (Lupe) needs to be heard by the masses the way he deserves. I have no right to tell the man what to do and have the upmost respect for the integrity he has and authenticity of his messages and as an aspiring artist myself I know what its like to hear people suggest things. He's my inspiration and is the reason I use my own W.M.D's (Words of Mass Destruction) when flowing, but I would love to see a callabo with a mainstream artist and add some mass appeal to his music to the people who arent yet educated on how to listen to hip hop, all the While adding cred to artists like a T-Pain. I feel it would be the ultimate sign of his prowess, elevating the conscious of america and adding substance to main stream artists. Keep doing what you do Lupe, even out in a over-commercialized place like So-cal, we ALL hear you.
I have a lot of repsect for Lupe and his music. Not only is he extremly creative and ingenious in his lyrics but his music delievers a much greater message. He empowers others with his words and insights hope, especially in this song. He goes against most of todays mainstream hip-hop and continues to encourage children in poverty all over the world that the evils of the ghetto (violence, drugs, guns, etc ) can be overcome by education, determination and perserverance. To me it takes a real man to stand up and speak for what is needed, what is true and what is against today's social norms considered to be uncool. Lupe's music is filled with soul, struggle, pain but most importantly hope. Hope that his music can help change the lives of young children around the world. With a positive attitude anything is possible. Belief in yourself and live for yourself. Only you can hold yourself back. Attitude is the biggest assest in creating positive change and sucess and Lupe strives to envoke this attitude in his listeners. Much respect, Keep doing your thing.
Listen to the lyrics, still positive... its not talking about hoes, cars, clubs, and guns. Just cause it has a mainstream beat and would be great on the radio doesnt mean he sold out. Lasers!
did you even listen to the lyrics of the son this is in no way is him trying to attempt to go mainstream this is him rapping on a beat that samples float on and destryoing it. this is for his fans, not for mainstream
You are a great artist, perhaps the best out right now, but this song reminds me of all the mainstream terrible music. Your rhymes are stretching it, and your refrain sounds like the same bland 5-6 liner that is just like everyone else's. Is there a formula to songs now? Pick 4 lines that don't say anything, two of them even use the same word to rhyme... and repeat that 8 TIMES in the song. You realize that almost 2 minutes of your 4 minute song is spent on the same 5-6 lines? I realize that sounds like a scolding, and I have no right to do that to you, but it sounds like you just did what (Record Comp. / Producer/ ???) told you to do, and it doesn't seem like this is your child. When I listen to He Say/ She Say, Hiphop Saved my Life, Dumb it Down, or Little Weapon, you're saying something in those songs. It makes me think, makes everyone think. When I listen to this, it sounds like the same generic hiphop song. Don't let yourself fall into the same category as Trey, Taio, what I feel Usher has become, Lil' Wayne, T.I., (Black Eyed Peas especially) They pump out these generic songs that get to the top of the billboards, but WE all know that they don't say anything, and they're no different than the songs they made before, or after. Standards of hip-hop have been lowered, and I just hope that you can remain out of the quicksand of shitty but popular music. We love you because you're smart and different, and you choose to tell your story. For your sake, please don't go down this road. I know that you'll be successful no matter what, and I congratulate you on all the accomplishments that you've earned. Good Luck!
to all the people saying he sold out,it wasnt his fault-atlantic made this happen.but so crazy,beat is catchy,and lupe still goes hard!favorite song until the rest of lasers comes out! fnf up!
I love Modest Mouse, and for Lupe to be able to integrate "Float On" into one of his tracks and make it sound great is just awesome. It just goes to show you how talented he truly is,as well as his apparent great taste in music. I just wish more people would recognize him as one of the best rappers out there, but they're too busy listening to the garbage Lil Wayne and other 'mainstream" rappers make, it's a shame...
niice "float on" track. didn't thought it was possible to merge such a great song with a great artist.
Lupe keeps bringing that fire.. every new joint i keep saying to my self, thats the best song he made so far.. i think i have said that more than 50 times now :/ keep doing your thang lupe!!! LOVE FROM IRAQ!!!
I think the lasers album is gona go against the grain so hard that its gona create inflammation in the music atmosphere. Inflammation that even the radio is not immune to, and its all gona start with this song!
cant wait 4 da new album im buyin up everything ur doin man love dat you paved da way 4 good music real leader!!!

A few years ago I was diagnosed with cancer, and about five minutes later I started having chemotherapy. I expected to lose my hair, but I didn't care that much. I've always felt a little distanced from it. I grew up in the '60s and '70s, when hair was supposed to fall in great lank sheets to your waist, but mine was naturally curly, so kids called me Medusa.
Still, the prospect of not having any hair forces you to take stock of your personal style, your sense of yourself. What kind of cancer person was I going to be? How would I wear my disease? Would I cover it up, or would I announce it to the world?
In other words: Would I be a scarf person or a wig person? The scarf person knows that people will see she's bald and will probably ask why. The wig person hopes that even if people notice her wig, they will assume she's wearing it because she doesn't want to talk about why; she just wants to blend in.
I decided that my truer, if slightly holier-than-thou, self would wear a scarf. A wig would be dishonest. I wasn't ashamed of having cancer. I would go out into the world in my scarves and bandannas, and to hell with discretion.
One night, after I'd started chemo but before it made my hair fall out, I ran into my friend Ruth. By horrible coincidence, we had the same kind of cancer—only Ruth was much further down the chemo path than I was and had already lost her hair. When I'd seen her a few weeks earlier, she'd been wearing a scarf, but now I noticed that her hair had grown back.
I said, "Ruth, your hair looks so great!"
"It's a wig!" she said. "I never thought I'd wear one, but sometimes I do when I go out. It feels dressy. A little creepy, but dressy."
When I looked more closely, I could tell it was a wig, but it still looked nice. And if Ruth felt good in a wig, maybe I would, too.
Then Ruth said, "My medical insurance covered the whole thing." This seemed so bizarre as to be almost unbelievable, and reason enough to get a wig. It was swag, even if you were getting it for having cancer. When was I ever going to get this chance again?
The wig store Ruth recommended, Bitz-n-Pieces, is on the third floor of an office building right near Columbus Circle in New York City. My fitter is a Frenchman named Gwen. Gwen is cool at first, practicing his native country's ancient art of rudeness.
"What do you want," he says.
"A wig," I say.
"What kind of air."
"What kind of hair? How many kinds are there?"
"We 'ave synthetic wigs, wigs made from the air of Indian women and wigs made from European air."
Wigs made from the hair of Caucasian European women cost $4,000 to $5,000, but the Indian wigs go for about $900. Why is the hair of Caucasian women four times as expensive as the hair of Indian women? Much better to go with the Indian women's hair, even though I know they've been paid 22 cents to have it shaved from their heads.
I settle on a nice, unassuming brown wig. It doesn't look that wiggy—more like I've finally gotten a good haircut. The hair behaves, falling in nice layers, and it has soft bangs. I look casual but put together, maybe for the first time.
In the hour he spends shaping the wig to my head by trimming and styling it, Gwen gets much nicer. He has cancer, too, and spent months wearing a wig; his own hair has just grown back.
Gwen sends me home with a big bag, which contains my wig on a Styrofoam head. "Take good care of it, my dear," he says. "Bonne chance." And we hug.
I leave my wig on the Styrofoam head in a corner of my bedroom. It's spooky to look at, like a specter that is much better groomed than I am.
A few weeks go by, and my hair falls out. When you have chemo, your hair doesn't fall out all at once. It gradually gives up the ghost, first in strands and then in little tufts that clump in the shower drain and make you think there's a dead mouse in there.

Just when it looked like the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Kennedy v. Plan Administrator for DuPont Savings & Investment Plan, 555 U.S. 285 (2009) settled disputes over a deceased participant's account balance where there has been no change of beneficiary designation post-divorce, the Third Circuit comes up with a new twist. (more about Kennedy posted here)
In a case of first impression, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, in Estate of Kensinger v. URL Pharma Inc., No. 10-4525 (March 20, 2012), addressed the issue of whether, after the plan administrator distributes a deceased participant's 401(k) account balance to the designated beneficiary, can the deceased participant's estate bring a lawsuit against the designated beneficiary to recover the account balance where the designated beneficiary waived her right to the account balance as part of a divorce proceeding.
In 2000, William Kensinger was married to Adele Kensinger when he enrolled in URL Pharma's 401(k) plan. At some point between 2000 and 2008, Mr. Kensinger designated Mrs. Kensinger as his beneficiary for his 401(k) account balance. In 2008, they divorced.
As part of the divorce settlement, Mrs. Kensinger waived her right to Mr. Kensinger's 401(k) account balance on April 20, 2008. The Court said the relevant language from the Property Settlement Agreement was:
"[T]he parties mutually agree to waive, release, and relinquish any and all right, title and interest either may have in or to the other's IRA account(s), or any other such retirement benefit and deferred savings plan of like kind and character, and neither shall make any claim to possession of such property as it is presently titled."
Their divorce was finalized on July 10, 2008.
Nine months later, Mr. Kensinger died intestate without having changed his beneficiary designation. Both Mrs. Kensinger and Mr. Kensinger's estate claimed his 401(k) account balance. Mrs. Kensinger's claim was based on the fact that she is the named beneficiary. The estate claimed that because Mrs. Kensinger waived her right to the 401(k) account balance as part of the divorce proceeding, the account balance belongs to Mr. Kensinger's estate. Mrs. Kensinger refuted the estate's claim, stating that ERISA, which requires that the proceeds be paid to the beneficiary named in the plan documents, trumps her common law waiver. On Nov. 9, 2009, the estate filed a declaratory action in New Jersey state court against Mrs. Kensinger and URL Pharma's 401(k) plan, and URL Pharma removed the dispute to federal court.
The U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey applied the reasoning of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Kennedy, and concluded that, despite Mrs. Kensinger's waiver, ERISA required URL Pharma to distribute Mr. Kensinger's 401(k) account balance to Mrs. Kensinger in accordance with the plan documents, since she is the designated beneficiary. In Kennedy, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that an ex-wife who waived her right to a participant's 401(k) account balance as part of a divorce settlement was still entitled to the account balance where the participant had died without changing his beneficiary designation because the plan administrator is required to distribute the account balance pursuant to last valid beneficiary designation. The Third Circuit notes that, in a footnote in Kennedy, the Supreme Court left open the question of whether the estate could sue the ex-wife to recover the benefits after she receives them from the plan administrator.
The Third Circuit decides that the estate can bring an action directly against Mrs. Kensinger to recover the account balance after URL Pharma distributes it to her, finding that an action brought directly against Mrs. Kensinger after the benefits have been distributed by URL Pharma would in no way complicate URL Pharma's administration of the plan. In doing so, the Court distinguishes this situation from Kennedy, which the Court said involved a lawsuit against a plan administrator who had yet to distribute the benefits. According to the Third Circuit, once the plan administrator distributes the account balance to Mrs. Kensinger, as required by the plan documents, her right to these funds can be challenged in an ordinary contract action based on her common law waiver contained in the Property Settlement Agreement.
I wonder if the Court's decision would have been different if URL Pharma's 401(k) plan document contained this standard plan document language:
"Notwithstanding anything in the plan document to the contrary, if a Participant has designated the spouse as a Beneficiary, then a divorce decree of legal separation that relates to such spouse shall revoke the Participant's designation of the spouse as a Beneficiary unless the decree or a Code section 414(p) qualified domestic relations order provides otherwise, or a subsequent Beneficiary designation is made."
Lori M. McNeely, Esq. argued the case before the Third Circuit on behalf of the estate.
Michael S. Rothmel, Esq., and Daniel J. Bitonti, Esq., represented URL Pharma and Mrs. Kensinger before the Third Circuit with Mr. Rothmel arguing on their behalf.

Project Selvage: Pick Me, Please!
What better place, then, to look for inspiration for my Project Selvage contest entry? And there is no better symbol of everything my daughter's school stands for than colorful rain boots, which can be seen cramming the shelves and cubbies on any given school day. My entry may not scream "baby" (which could be a problem, given that the entries were supposed to be "baby boy"-themed), but I hope it reflects one of the simple joys of being a young child: Pulling on your boots and exploring a pond. Or the world in general.
Going into this, I had several other ideas all inspired by my daughter's school, so on the off-chance I make Spoonflower's 75 finalists, I know I could come up with a whole line centered around this print. In fact, I might just do that anyway, even if I don't make the 75 finalists. At the very least, I could make some awesome potty-privacy curtains for the school. : ) And of course, with a real live contract with Michael Miller on the line, the Project Selvage competition is unbelievably steep. Click here to check out some of the other entries—there are some very talented people over on Spoonflower, you guys. They announce the 75 finalists next Thursday, March 31, and voting will begin at that time.
As an aside, if Project Selvage is Project Runway for fabric designers, then where's our Tim Gunn? As I toiled into the wee hours on my entry, I longed for somebody who would walk past, peek over my shoulder at the computer screen, study it thoughtfully with his chin in his hand, and say something along the lines of, "Those colors are fabulous. But the scale is all wrong." Maybe they'll line up somebody to make home visits to all the finalists? Think about it, Spoonflower! : )

text: This is a 9.6 mile loop around the Lake Youngs Watershed. The terrain is rolling and a mixture of packed gravel, trail, and a very short section of road. The trail hugs the fence that goes around the watershed, so getting lost is not really a problem. If you have crossed a road, you have gone off course. There are mile marks on the fence along the trail but not sure how accurate they really are.

1. Get a haircut that's always in style
A simple, nearly blunt cut that falls somewhere around the shoulders—picture Jennifer Aniston, Natalie Morales or More's cover celeb this month, Julianna Margulies—flatters most faces and grows out nicely, so you needn't be an every-six-weeks slave to your stylist. It can also be worn curly or straight, allowing you to work with your natural texture, which saves both time and money. Maintenance cost: Pick up a brush with silk or boar bristles, says Kathleen Flynn Hui, a colorist at Salon AKS in New York City, who recommends the Mason Pearson ($88 and up; neimanmarcus.com). It enhances shine and babies hair, so you won't have to worry about breakage (which is hard to hide when your cut has few layers).
2. Opt for shorter nails and nontrendy polish
"A rounded, short nail is always elegant," says Jin Soon Choi, celebrity manicurist. For a look that's never out of style, pair this shape with a shade that has no expiration date, says Essie Weingarten, founder of Essie Cosmetics. Pale pink and red have been in vogue for decades, but Weingarten says taupe and navy have joined their ranks as modern classics. Maintenance cost:For maximum shine and zero chipping, give OPI's new GelColor manicure a go (average cost: $35–$55; visit opi.com for a list of salons). It offers the longevity (up to three weeks) of a traditional gelmanicure, but the drying time is fourtimes as fast, getting you out of the salon in about 10 minutes. GelColor is available in 30 hues; Cosmo–Not Tonight Honey! (a beige taupe) and You Don'tKnow Jacques! (a grayer taupe) are the most versatile.
3. Cultivate a healthy glow
Chic women like beauty mogul Aerin Lauder and designer Tory Burch often sport an enviable, just-back-from-Nantucket glow. It isn't a tan exactly—more of a radiance—and not only looks healthy but has the added benefit of minimizing the appearance of sun damage, fine lines, blemishes, etc., saving you money and time at the spa or doctor's office in pursuit of perfect skin. Maintenance cost: "Exfoliating regularly keeps skin glowing," says Dennis Gross, MD, a Manhattan dermatologist; he believes you can do the job with at-home peels and scrubs. Try Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Daily Face Peel ($80; sephora .com) or BareMinerals Intensive Glow Pads ($35;bareminerals.com). Then there's the cosmetic approach: Mixing a littleself-tanner into your daily moisturizer will impart a subtle sunniness, as if you've been recharging on the Cape. We like Lancôme Flash Bronzer Oil-Free Tinted Self-Tanning Face Lotion ($30; sephora.com).
4. Play up your lashes
To establish a look that will do you for decades, take a cue from Angelina Jolie and keep the focus on your eyes, says Sandy Linter, a makeup artist at the Rita Hazan Salon in New York City. Why? Color trends come and go, but a dense set of black eye fringe is eternal. Maintenance cost: Jolie appears to get her eye-emphasizing look with multiple layers of thickening black mascara plus heavy liquid liner. But that routine is probably a bit onerous for every day. A realistic alternative? LashDip, a semipermanent color for your lashes, provides dramatic darkening and lengthening for up to six weeks (that's right: no mascara application for a month and a half). Prices start at $150; go to lashdip.com to find the service at a salon near you. A less-permanent but still eye-opening option is Too Faced's new Better Than False Lashes ($35; sephora.com), which fattens fringe at home in three steps (two coats of mascara plus a layer of thickening fibers). The promise: a result that rivals lash extensions.
6. Go for gleaming locks
Megashiny strands (think Salma Hayek) have always been in style. They make a simple cut seem more chic, show off your color to best effect and boost your confidence (imagine a good hair day every day). Maintenance cost: If you're battling extreme dullness—or fuzz—consider Redken's new-to-salons Shape Control System, a formaldehyde-free treatment that flattens frizz and bumpsup shine (prices start at $150 for your whole head; the cost is less if you're doing just the bangs, top layers, etc.). Whatever your natural texture—curly or straight—you'll walk out of the salon glossy. Results last up to four months; go to redken.com for more information.
7. Choose a complex scent
When it comes to a fragrance that endures, the more complicated the "recipe," the longer the shelf life, say experts. So while simpler scents are trendy—right now think vanilla-cupcake, citrus and clean, "shower-y" scents, says Laura Slatkin, founder and CEO of Nest Fragrances—they're not a smart investment. Maintenance cost: A fragrance you can wear todayand five years down the road should be as multilayered and complicated as you are, says Slatkin. One of her fa-vorites: Shalimar by Guerlain ($73 and up; nordstrom.com), which combines opulent florals with Oriental-vanilla notes. Other complex scents to try: Versace Yellow Diamond ($67 and up; macys.com); L'Eau de Chloé ($65 and up; bloomingdales.com); Givenchy Dahlia Noir ($67 andup; bloomingdales.com).

Ecological Teaching and Learning Graduate Talks About Transformation
Below is the text of the speech given by the Graduate School of Education's 2013 Student Commencement Speaker, Margaret Burke. Burke (pictured), a graduate of the M.S. in Ecological Teaching and Learning program, shared the stage with administration and faculty, as well as honorary degree recipients TV journalist and humanitarian Liz Walker and former Massachusetts Secretary of Education Paul Reville.
I have here a packet of radish seeds. With the support of complex ecological systems these seeds will profoundly transform. In one season, they'll ripen and grow full, be unearthed from the garden, and are ready to be consumed by human or groundhog or by the systems in the soil. In some way, they are reabsorbed into the whole.Like the radish seed, we (graduates, professors, parents, partners, friends) are changing every moment. Yet, I suspect most of us do not spend every second focusing on the ways in which we are ever evolving. Luckily, in this human life, there are occasional moments when we are called to pause and reflect.On this day, we sit among loved ones, teachers, and colleagues - here to witness the shift and watch us leap from one edge to another. I suspect that neither they nor we could point to a singular moment when we became different from how we were before we embarked on this particular learning journey. Yet we are transformed by inspiration, by knowledge, by reflection, by time; and they are here to watch us as we are acknowledged for our passion, for our commitment, for our perseverance, and for our aspirations. It is not every day that we are able to stand before an audience this large, or even an audience of one, to be honored for the evolution of ourselves.For those who are here to mark this moment: I thank you for noticing. I thank you for witnessing. I thank you for supporting. Transformation comes in many forms. I hope you will continue to recognize it as it reveals itself. The lessons gleaned from living and learning do not all arrive neatly and immediately when one receives a diploma. The documents we are here to receive mark the commencement of new growth in our lives. For me, this phase of graduate learning and personal growth has been a wild and surprising thing. I came to Lesley University, to pursue graduate work alongside my professional endeavors. I wanted to keep doing what I was doing but better. I wanted to strengthen my skills educating teachers and students in natural science, agriculture, and creative place-based pedagogy. Yet subsequent to this program, doors have opened and revealed change. It is a basic ecological process. I cannot simply keep doing what I was doing because the world is changing and I am changing. Constantly.
Years ago, I chose an unconventional path by wanting to participate in education designed to occur without walls (and sometimes without shoes), by wanting students to experience complex natural systems through personal connection, and by wanting to be in deep and unique relationships with learners. Each day at work, I watch young people explore physics, biology, meteorology, ecology, botany, zoology, entomology, health and wellness, life cycles, water cycles, soil cycles, mathematics, history, literature, research methods, and endless other disciplines driven by their own curiosity and unique gifts. I am intentional about creating space for movement, play, risk taking, investigation, critical discourse, and reflection in learning environments. Yet, some parents and classroom teachers have asked me, "Do you think you'll ever become a teacher?"
I assume they meant to ask me if I will ever choose a more conventional path. After all, what makes a "teacher?" The answer cannot be exclusive to a room with desks and a smart board. And now that I have a Master's Degree in Ecological Teaching and Learning, am I expected to get a "real" job? Do I have to be conventional? This contemplation got me asking questions about my unconventional choices. I found that the term "conventional" comes from the Latin term "conventionalis: pertaining to agreement." And then I found that "agreement," in the late 14th century, meant "mutual conformity of things." While traditions have their place, our world is evolving and I believe it may be time to renegotiate the agreements. And I believe that conformity alone is not going to serve my generation or those which follow.
In fact, I think that this is a time for the radical. The term, "radical" comes from the Latin word, "radicalis" and according to Merriam Webster, it means "of, relating to, or proceeding from a root." Isn't that refreshing?! It made me wonder about radishes, and I discovered that their name comes from the Latin source as well.
As educators (and I believe we're all educators in some way), roots are exactly what we need and what our graduate programs have helped us to strengthen. Strong roots are our essential foundation as we stretch upward and outward reaching the world with our creative and unique ways of inspiring learners. Strong roots soak up nutrients and nourishment, as we too must do to sustain ourselves, to stay innovative and inspired in a professional realm that can be exhausting. Strong roots help us to be upright in the face of challenges.The Ecological Teaching and Learning program at Lesley University has helped me to identify and strengthen my own roots and my capacities as a teacher and learner. Being a part of the intimate ETL learning community has had transformational impacts on my work and on my life. And in this moment, with the doors of possibility and understanding wide open, we have the privilege of choosing consciously and intentionally where we shall go from here. I brought a whole radish this talk as well. I admire the way it's grown from such a tiny seed into something so strong and ripe. I hope that seeing and holding the early fruit of the garden helps us to remember the importance of roots and reminds us of what it means to be fundamentally radical.--Margaret Burke

PODCAST: How one bill passed in the aftermath of 9/11 continues to shape U.S. modern warfare today
Critics agree AUMF should be changed but how?
It was three days after the attacks —September 14th, 2001 -- that Congress gathered in Washington to respond to the vicious blow America had sustained. Every member of the House and Senate, save one, voted to give President George W. Bush the authority to capture or kill those responsible. The bill they passed that day is called the AUMF -- The Authorization for the Use of Military Force Against Terrorists.
Many predictions were made that day, of the coming war, the stamina and depth of the commitment it would require of American citizens. But what no one knew, what no one could know, is how the AUMF would anchor the country to that moment, and drag it back there again and again during the longest war in the nation's history.
On this week's podcast, DecodeDC host Andrea Seabrook tells the story of how it happened, and what many think should come next.
DecodeDC's foremost aim is to be useful. That means being a reliable, honest and highly entertaining source of insight and explanation. It also means providing multimedia coverage of Washington's people, culture, policies and politics that is enlightening and enjoyable. Whether it's a podcast, a video, an interactive graphic, a short story or a long analysis, it will be based on this guiding principle: We are in DC but not OF DC.

Banks should take personal responsibility too
How often have we heard non-paying owners disparaged as "deadbeats" or, in a more gentle vein, accused of not taking personal responsibility? How many times had you heard banks called deadbeats? How often to you hear them accused of not taking personal responsibility? Remember, as one political candidate said, "corporations are people too."
That is exactly how they are behaving. Big banks like JP Morgan Chase, Deutsche Banks and others are deadbeats that refuse to take personal responsibility. We blame homeowners for not paying but banks are often given a pass. Why? Banks enjoy the benefits of being a legal person. Why shouldn't they be required to take the responsibility of any other person as well?
Today I read an article in Mortgage Daily about associations filing more foreclosures against banks for "alleged" unpaid assessments. The article cited an association attorney who said that lenders "often wait until a real-estate-owned asset is sold to pay delinquent homeowners association fees from the proceeds of the sale instead of making monthly payments when they are due." Often? I would say about that is an understatement.
Recently, I had the joy of dealing with JPMorgan Chase Bank. We were asked for an estoppel in December of last year, but nothing happened. We then sent an (HOA) 45 day notice of intent to lien. Nothing happened. The day that we were to file the lien, they asked for another estoppel. I gave them one more day to pay with wiring instructions. Then some REO assistant emailed me saying the "Asset Management Group" requires at least 48 hours to review the estoppel. The estoppel was very straightforward. It was only slightly changed from the estoppel they received in December. I finally reached a VP and asked her why eight months was not long enough to determine if the bank had an objection to what assessments were demanded. The next day we filed a lien. In exactly 45 days from that lien we will file for both foreclosure and damages.
The funniest – or saddest – part of all this involves the 45 day notice. We sent the notice to the address of record on the certificate of title and to the property address. What we received back was a form letter stating they could not honor our request without a loan number.
I'd like to say this is atypical. It isn't. Associations must aggressively pursue assessment collection against banks that have taken title. I advise all my clients to establish a strict collections policy (which they should anyway) and hold banks to the very same standards as homeowners.
Banks will usually (not just often) not pay a cent until closing and the associations cannot afford to carry the banks who have none of the struggling and extenuating circumstances that some homeowners do. In my opinion, we should not coddle banks.

Three schools go on lockdown after theft from business
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 1:16 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 1:16 p.m.
Three schools in Welcome were placed on lockdown Tuesday morning after a reported robbery at the Smoke Shop at 6138-A Old U.S. Highway 52.
Davidson County sheriff's deputies arrested a man and charged him with stealing $60 worth of merchandise from the store.
Deputies responded to the business at 10:18 a.m. after receiving a call of a robbery. Customers in the store saw a suspect flee the store toward the railroad tracks behind the business, according to a press release. Deputies arrived and set up a perimeter around the store.
The store owner told deputies that employees found a .22 caliber shell in the store in close proximity to where the incident occurred. Deputies requested Welcome Elementary, North Davidson Middle and North Davidson High schools be placed on lockdown until the suspect was arrested, and a deputy was placed at each school for security purposes.
A short time later, the suspect was located running in a wooded area off Bud Hinkle Road and apprehended by deputies, the release said. Deputies contacted the 911 Center and asked telecommunicators to contact the schools and remove the lockdown.
Deputies learned the suspect did not have a weapon and had taken $60 in merchandise including cigarettes, a pipe and synthetic tobacco without paying.
Christopher Michael Kimbal, 19, homeless, was arrested and charged with misdemeanor larceny and resist, obstruct and delay a public officer. He was placed in the Davidson County Detention Center under a $5,000 secured bond. He is scheduled to appear July 16 in Lexington District Court.

Mozaic EZ300 & WMP11 Playlist Problem
I recently replaced my lost Zen Mozaic with a Mozaic EZ300 model (didn't realize it was a different model until it arrived). With my first Mozaic, I could easily add playlists created in WMP11. I synched these same playlists to the EZ300...the songs show up in the player but not the playlists. All I get when I press the playlist button is a message telling me to add songs to a playlist. The playlists are not mentioned. I have upgraded the firmware to the latest version but nothing changed. I have successfully added these same playlists through WMP11 to my Vision M, my husband's Zen, and my original Mozaic, so I know I'm not doing something wrong.
I do not want to get involved with the Creative software and have to create new playlists. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I am using a PC with Vista, if that makes a difference, but I do have computers with XP.
|[Remove Advertisement]
I was able to solve a similar problem by using a tip posted by "Kobai" on another forum http://forums.mycreativefansite.com/...zaic-ez300/15/ as reply #25 which is on page 2 of the replies to the post.
Basically, the user wrote a program to massage the .m3u playlist that Winamp or WMP11 puts out to make it work with Zen Mosaic EZ series players. The problem is that the EZ Mosaic uses DOS 8.3 short filenames in its .m3u playlists whereas Winamp or WMP11 (presumably, I use Winamp) puts out the .m3u playlist file using long filenames. The .m3u playlist files are just text files you can open with Notepad - so if you create one with the Mosaic EZ itself and then bring it into the PC and look at it with Notepad and compare to a playlist made by Winamp or WMP11 you'll see what is going on. The poster in the other forum, Kobai, just wrote a program that takes what Winamp or WMP11 puts out and converts the filenames. It is a bit klunky to use compared to something 100 programmers have refined over a few decades, but if you learn it it gets the job done in a flash.
I use iTunes to download podcasts and organize them so I can make up a playlist. I then import the iTunes playlist into Winamp to get it into .m3u format, then use Winamp to download it into a "Winamp Playlist" folder on the Mosaic. I then use Kobai's PlaylistMod.exe to take it from the "Winamp Playlist" folder on the Mosaic, convert it into something the Mosaic can use, and it ends up in the "Playlist" folder on the Mosaic which is where playlists the Mosaic can use are supposed to end up. Then the Mosaic recognizes the playlist and I can listen to it.

Memphis 37, Tulane 23
Tulane Game 10
Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium
Memphis, Tenn.
Junior place kicker and Lou Groza semifinalist Cairo Santos remained perfect on the year with three field goals (45, 43, 30). For the season, Santos is a perfect 17-of-17 with an 11-of-11 clip from 40-plus yards and a 2-of-2 effort from beyond 50. For his career, he has now scored 210 points after connecting on 41-of-51 field goals (.804) and 87-of-90 PATs (.967).
Santos' three made field goals in one game is the junior Lou Groza Award semifinalist's career best. Tonight marked his seventh multi-field goal game of the season.
Santos moved into fifth place in Tulane history tonight in points scored kicking (surpassing Tony Wood (1981-84) with 200) and ninth in total points (moving ahead of Tony Wood (1981-84} with 200) while remaining first in field goal percentage, sixth in field goals made and PAT percentage, seventh in field goals attempted and fifth in PATs made and PAT attempts.
Junior WR Ryan Grant extended his consecutive games with a catch streak to 18 on Saturday against the Tigers. The last time Grant - who missed the final 12 games of the 2011 season due to injury - failed to catch a pass in a game he played in came on Oct. 9, 2010, against Army.
Grant pulled in a career-high 11 receptions in tonight's game. His 11 catches resulted in 113 yards and one touchdown. His previous high was eight receptions back on Nov. 27, 2010 at Marshall. His 11 catches also placed him tied for 10th in receptions in a game in Tulane history.
Grant had a game-high 113 yards on 11 catches, marking his fourth consecutive 100-yard receiving day, his sixth of the season and the eighth of his career.
For his career, Grant has now caught 96 passes for 1,528 yards (15.9 avg.) and 12 touchdowns. He currently ranks tied for fifth in Tulane career history in yards per catch (15.9), tied for sixth in 100-yard games and is 13th in touchdown receptions.
Redshirt freshman Devin Boutte pulled down his first career reception in the first quarter of Saturday's game at Memphis. It was a six-yard pass from Ryan Griffin.
Senior CB Ryan Travis recorded his first sack of the season and the third of his career. It is his first since Nov. 20, 2010 against UCF.
Freshman CB Lorenzo Doss pulled down his fourth interception of his career and season in the second quarter of tonight's game at Memphis.
Freshman CB Darion Monroe collected his second fumble recovery of the season and career in the second quarter. The fumble was caused by sophomore S Sam Scofield. Monroe scampered 38 yards on the return. The return was the longest by a Tulane player since Isreal Route's 42-yard return against UCF on Nov. 18, 2006.
Monroe then picked up his second fumbles recovery of the game late in the fourth quarter and scampered 54 yards for a touchdown. It was Tulane's first fumble return for a touchdown since Austen Jacks did so against SMU in 2010.
Junior LB Zach Davis recorded 11 tackles on Saturday night in Memphis, one shy of his career-high 12 collected against ULM earlier this season. His 10 stops tonight marks his second career double figure game in tackles.
Eight Tulane players extended their double-digit starting streaks on Saturday at Memphis -senior DE Austen Jacks (35), senior CB Ryan Travis (35), senior OT Eric Jones (25), junior WR Ryan Grant (10), junior C Mike Henry (10), sophomore OG Adam Skidmore (10), sophomore OT Sean Donnelly (10) and freshman CB Darion Monroe (10)
Tulane's game captains for Saturday's contest at Memphis were junior RB Orleans Darkwa representing the offense, senior DE Austen Jacks representing the defense and junior PK Cairo Santos representing the special teams.

First, it appears that English may not be your first language so I am going to reword your question and then focus on it from there.
The answer is that you should likely use one database for all of this. If you simply change the table name for the country or language in your software, all of the other fields will be the same.
In your software, I suggest simply providing an option to switch countries and use different table names based on the country. So, you would use
Changes to either table could be accomplished by making a change in your software configuration to use a different table name instead. So, your code would be
I would suggest only using a single database regardless of your other design decisions.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Stefa Super Cute! I bought these as a gift for a friend and ended up buying myself a set as well. They are super cute! They seem like the need to be hand washed, but I don't mind. Also you have to take them off the string to use or wash them but that wasn't an issue for me. I love them! January 9, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by bohemiattic Cute Got these as an extra little something to go with a gift I put together. The recipients loved them. I only wish they'd had more of the same mushroom themed kitchen items I could've added, but these were super cute and we were quite happy with them. Priced on sale, great value. Shipping quick and smooth despite bad weather. January 2, 2014

Twenty-four hours in Europe – and Asia
Bigger, better, faster, hipper, more expensive: Istanbul is rapidly blossoming into an exciting metropolis. Once the decaying capital of two fallen empires, it is now an up-and-coming city of 13 million, stretching as far as the eye can see on both sides of the Bosporus. Particularly at the hectic heart of Istanbul, we encounter a Western openness here, Oriental hospitality there – as well as a host of temptations that are hard to resist. Join us on a day's tour of the most important sights.
Back to the overview
Artists' quarter and monuments - the world city of Istanbul
Barcelona? Berlin? Istanbul! Amid the Art Nouveau architecture of Beyoglu (formerly Pera), which originated as a Genoese merchant citadel, you could be forgiven for thinking you were on the streets of the Spanish metropolis. The city's art and design scene bears a striking resemblance to the hipper areas of the German capital. A leisurely breakfast at one of the many cafés on the pedestrian street Istiklâl Caddesi is a fantastic way to start the day - observing the pulsating life of the district.
An absolute must for history buffs. The mighty Hagia Sophia was once the heart of Orthodox Christianity, the coronation cathedral of the Byzantine emperors, and later became the principal mosque of the Ottoman Empire. The so-called "Blue Mosque" and Topkapi Palace, two of the city's other main attractions, are located in the immediate vicinity of Hagia Sophia, in the city's old quarter, south of the Golden Horn.
Hagia Sophia (Ayasofya), Sultanahmet district, www.hagiasophia.com
Not far from Hagia Sophia there's the Grand Bazaar, Istanbul's famous covered market with around 4000 stalls and shops that sell everything from carpets and football T shirts, gold jewelry, souvenirs and (alleged) antiques to all kinds of knick-knacks. It is perfectly acceptable to haggle here and shoppers often get a free glass of tea into the bargain.
Grand Bazaar (Kapalı Çarşi), Beyazit district, www.kapalicarsi.org.tr (Turkish) and www.grandbazaaristanbul.org. (English)
Ferries are a perfectly commonplace mode of transportation in Istanbul: They connect areas of the city on both sides of the Golden Horn and of the Bosporus - and during the few minutes' duration of many crossings, they offer spectacular panoramic views of a city of millions that appears to go on for ever along the banks of its waterways.
Crossings to the Princes' Islands and trips up and down the Bosporus make a pleasant outing for people with a little more time to spare.
Info: Various landing stages on the banks of the Golden Horn and the Bosporus
Evenings in Istanbul: mezeler and jazz
Back in Galata, a quarter of the Western-oriented district Beyoglu, we find the Galata Tower, one of the oldest – and most impressive – buildings of the former Genoese settlement. Almost 70 meters high, the tower has an observation platform and in the evening, a nightclub opens on the top floor.
Galata Tower, Galata district, www.galatatower.net (Turkish, English and German, among others)
The typical Turkish evening meal is a two to three-course affair, even in unsophisticated restaurants. The undisputed highlight of the meal is the mezeler platter, the Turkish version of antipasti and tapas, which are served in small portions but great variety. Cold mezeler are followed by warm before the next course, usually a piece of grilled fish or meat with rice, deep-fried potatoes and salad, is served with raki, the local aniseed spirit. Yakup 2 in Beyoglu is a simple restaurant that has become a favorite with artists and actors.
Yakup 2, Asmalı Mescit Sokak 35/37, Beyoglu district, www.yakuprestaurant.com
Undoubtedly one of the city's top clubs: The Babylon originally gained its reputation chiefly as a live jazz venue, but rock, electric, indie, hip-hop and Turkish pop bands also perform here – and keep the party going to the wee small hours.

I admit, I'm a sucker for Starburst candies. Something about their chewiness and their intensely juicy flavors gets me every time. I'd choose them over fruit gummies any day as a kid, and that pretty much applied today as well. So when I saw this new roll of "Summer Fun Fruits", I had to give them a shot!
Kiwi banana: The flavor is punchy with a big hit of kiwi banana right away. The kiwi is more sweet start and come forward first, and the banana is more subtle with it's starchy sweetness and supports the bright kiwi flavor. It's lovely.
Lemon-limeade: This starts our sweet with a lemony flavor that is fresh, juicy and zesty. The lime is more of an accent, it lends a bitter edge to the lemon which reminds me of key lime. there's no hint of floor cleaner here, which is typical of some lime flavors, which makes me happy. It's a wonderful flavor, and I loved it more than I thought I would. It's yummy.
Cherry splash (tm): Not sure how this is going to be different from the normal cherry flavor in the other Starburst roll. Popping it into my mouth, I find out. This flavor is more…black cherry, than cherry. It still has that sharp fruitiness to it with a tart edge and that bitter red flavor to it, but this one is somehow more juicy and "real" than the other flavor. It's very good.
Strawberry watermelon: I first taste the watermelon which is less artificial than I anticipated. The strawberry lends a bubblegum flavor to it, so the watermelon flavor tastes more authentic and sweet. It's lacking that tart "Jolly Rancher" edge to it, and it's most welcome that way. This is delightful with its flavors that are more sweet and delicate.
Usually when new set of flavors are released I'm pretty underwhelmed by them. That is not the case with these, I really enjoyed this roll of flavors. If you're a fan of fruit chews, I recommend them.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever (RMSF) is an infection caused by the bite of an infected tick. It affects about 250 to 1,200 people a year in the US and usually occurs from April until September, but it can occur anytime during the year where weather is warm. The mid-Atlantic and southeastern states are most affected. The disease is spread to humans from contact with the tick; it is not spread from one person to another.
The following are the most common symptoms of RMSF. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Death has occurred in untreated cases of RMSF.
The symptoms of RMSF may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis.
Diagnosis is based on symptoms and past history of a tick bite. The appearance and characteristics of the rash are important. Skin samples and lab tests are usually done to rule out other conditions and confirm the diagnosis.
Specific treatment for RMSF will be determined by your child's physician based on:
Treatment may include antibiotics and supportive care (care aimed at treating the symptoms present).
Once a child has RMSF, he/she cannot be re-infected. Some general guidelines for preventing RMSF include the following:

The Division of Fish and Wildlife and the Wildlife Turkey Federation are joining together to improve wild turkey habitat in Delaware.
"We are working together to accomplish mutually beneficial wild turkey conservation goals, including public education, wildlife habitat management, and research projects and activities in Delaware," said David Saveikis, director of the Division of Fish and Wildlife. "Wild turkey season attracts both resident and non-resident hunters to Delaware, supporting conservation and bringing economic benefits that bolster Delaware's 'Conservation Economy.'"
Hunter education is an important component in the success and safety record of Delaware's annual turkey season, added Thomas Spangler, president of the National Wild Turkey Federation's Delaware Chapter added. Delaware hunters must successfully complete a mandatory turkey hunter safety and education class before they can legally hunt wild turkeys in Delaware. Turkey hunters also are required to carry their Hunter Education Card, certifying successful completion of the course.

Adobe today shipped the first public preview of Edge Reflow. First shown off last September, the new application for responsive Web design is designed to make it easier for developers to produce webpages that alter their layout in response to changes in screen size, enabling the same page to be used on both desktop and portable devices.
The company is also shipping an update for three other tools. It's adding direct support for using the free Edge Web Fonts to its Web development app Dreamweaver and its timeline-based animation software Edge Animate. Edge Animate is also picking up new support for CSS gradients. Finally, the Edge Code HTML editor, currently available as a preview, is being updated to support live previewing and a quick edit mode that allows scripts and styles to be edited where they're used even when they're stored in separate files.
The new Edge Reflow app looks handy for those interested in responsive Web design, and the other improvements are pleasant if incremental. The most significant thing is not the updates themselves, however, but the fact that they're being made exclusive to Creative Cloud subscribers. Buyers of the traditional perpetually licensed versions of Creative Suite are excluded.
Adobe says its cloud suite has great momentum. The company claims to have more than 1 million free members, and 326,000 paid members, with 90 percent of those paid members picking the annual plans over the month-to-month ones, and 81 percent going for the full suite, costing $49.99 or $69.99 per month, in preference to the cheaper individual products.
Making these new apps and new updates exclusive to subscribers serves to tilt the balance further in favor of a subscription, strengthening Adobe's push to transform its business into one structured around monthly payments and not perpetual licensing.
Adobe isn't unique in attempting this; Microsoft is trying to do the same with Office 365. And like Adobe, Microsoft too has promised exclusive feature updates for subscribers. Adobe's numbers suggest that it is having some success with making this transition, though it still has a long way to go. A quarter of a million customers paying about $50 per month gives the company a healthy $160 million a year in revenue, but this is but a drop in the ocean compared to the full $4.4 billion the company turned over last year.

Hello ,
I am from The Netherlands (europe) and I have a 49 Servicar.
I already changed the carb for a Mikuni and the ignition for a magneto.
The Servicar isn't riding faster than 80 Km/h.
I need a little more speed.
What is the best I can do(best for the buck)?
I have tought to remove 2 mm from the heads (Aluminum type5) so I have a little more compression and bore the cylinders .060 over so I have a little more CUI.
Will this be enough to ride 100 Km/h?
What else can I do and how?(maybe biggervalves, porting and polising in and outlet?)
Can you give me some suplliers fot the pistons and stuff?
Thanks in advance.

The Making the Transition to Supervisor telecourse on January 17 (Session Code: 407) will ramp up your leadership skills and address critical supervisory issues necessary to becoming an extraordinary supervisor, including how to:
The Robbery Prevention Checklist QuickBites on January 23 (Session Code: 408)
is designed to help you:
Learn how to "case" your credit union. We'll work with the same variables (vulnerabilities) that a robber tries to exploit, including issues affecting the credit unions:
Credit unions of all sizes recognize the benefits that the online and mobile banking channels offer – a lower cost to serve, increased member loyalty and satisfaction, retention and a higher return on investment. But for many, breaking through the online and mobile banking adoption glass ceiling has been proven difficult. The Online & Mobile Banking Successful Member Penetration Techniques QuickBites on January 29 (Session Code: 410) will cover some of the reasons that consumers are holding back and how credit unions can effectively address these concerns. With well-designed strategies and techniques, credit unions can extend the benefits of banking via the online and mobile channels to the broadest possible range of members.
Most, if not all, CUs today are looking for additional lending opportunities to increase revenue. During the Identifying Loan Opportunities QuickBites on January 31 (Session Code: 411) we'll take a look at:
Afterwards, you should be able to identify your credit union's loan challenges and the opportunities and resources available to overcome those challenges.
Recent research reports that today 44 percent of US consumers carry smartphones and that ownership is highest among 25-34 year olds (64 percent) and 18-24 year olds (53 percent). How do you meet your members changing channel preference through your credit unions consumer lending program? Looking ahead to next month at the Maximizing Mobile Lending Trends QuickBites on February 5 (Session Code: 419), we'll review the demographic and technology trends and help you learn how you can maximize mobile lending for your credit union.
Bank Secrecy Act training is available on demand! The Bank Secrecy Act requires that all frontline personnel be trained on money laundering and the responsibilities of the financial institutions on currency reporting and suspicious activity every year. See the ICUL education calendar for the schedule of BSA on demand training and all QuickBites and Telecourses. Also available on demand: Financial Exploitation of the Elderly. Elder abuse training – regarding financial exploitation of the elderly -- is now required for employees and officers with direct customer contact. Examiners are collecting information about your credit union's training on this subject, as IDFPR is required to report training data on a bi-annual basis. This QuickBite will meet the training requirements and will cover:
All credit unions face situations where only they have an opportunity to witness suspected exploitation. Participate in this QuickBite to learn the common indicators and the actions you can take.
Play it again! The audio archive of all QuickBites and telecourses is 60 days with paid registrations for most sessions. Whether you were unavailable for the scheduled date and time of a particular call or just want to hear the session again, you will have 24/7 access for the entire 60 days after the scheduled session.

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO – They grace the front of the Mission and decorate the town.
From the Trading Post building that greets southbound Camino Capistrano motorists at Ortega Highway to the signs for the Swallow's Inn and El Adobe de Capistrano, drawings of the city's famous bird are everywhere.
But they don't show the correct swallow.
"I don't think people who are not birders are going to notice what kind of tail a swallow has," Kenyon said. "If they notice that they're different, then maybe they'll look it up on the Internet and find out why."

Today, Nintendo released a "Pokemon Direct" interview introducing exciting new details for the upcoming Pokemon X and Pokemon Y games.
- Mega-Evolved Pokemon: Venusaur, Charizard, Blastoise, Ampharos, Absol, Mawile, Mewtwo, Lucario, and Blaziken, are able to further evolve into a Mega form. This is a temporary evolution occuring only during battle in the Kalo region when the Mega Ring the trainer wears connects with the Mega Stone the Pokemon holds. In Mega form, the Pokemon looks a bit larger and bulkier, and unlocks powers only available in that form. After battle, they "devolve" into their previous state. Pictured above are Mega Venusaur, Mega Charizard, and Mega Blastoise.
- Starter Pokemon: They revealed you'll receive two starter Pokemon. The first is one of the new generation starters, Chespin, Fennekin, or Froakie, that you'll actually get from your friends. Later on, you'll get one of the original starts, Bulbasaur, Charmander, or Squirtle, from the Professor.
- Pokemon Bank: This is the Pokemon-in-the-cloud service allowing you to store up to 3,000 Pokemon online on Nintendo's servers, a nice upgrade from the much smaller on-cartridge Pokemon boxes. There will be a small annual fee for this feature.
- PokeTransportation: This is a feature allowing you to transfer your Pokemon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2 Pokemon to Pokemon Bank.

Wilmington to offer free self-defense class for women
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 10:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 10:10 a.m.
The Wilmington Police Department believes women need to learn how to defend themselves. So WPD and a Taekwondo instructor are offering a free class for women.
"We believe when individuals are armed with important safety knowledge and skills, they will feel safer and practice personal safety," said Linda Rawley, the department's community resource coordinator. "The Self Defense Class for Women is always a popular class no matter how often you offer it. We appreciate the partnership of New Heights Taekwondo and their willingness to help us in providing this class absolutely free to the public."
The class will be at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 9, at the Martin Luther King Jr. Center, 401 S. Eighth St. To sign up, call Rawley at 341-4608. The deadline to register is Friday, July 5.
Patrick Sawhill (399-4973) also teaches classes at New Heights Taekwondo Academy, 311-3A Judges Rd.
Sawhill teaches a traditional taekwondo known as Songahm Taekwondo.
The introductory class serves as an interview of sorts that allows Sawhill to ascertain what students want to achieve with the art of taekwondo.
On average these introductory classes last about 30 minutes.
The New Heights Taekwondo Center also serves as a fitness program for the students. Sawhill allows the students to do cardio exercises for up to 12 minutes.
Taekwondo can help patients with conditions such Alzheimer's or vertebrae injuries, Sawhill said.
For more advanced students he teaches Krav Combat, effective in street situations that can last two to three minutes.

LSU, Maryland, Florida State visit Atlantic basketball star this week
Central Florida has arguably one of the most talented sophomore classes the area has seen in a while and count Port Orange Atlantic girls basketball sophomore Ronni Williams among the top.
By the end of this week, Williams, a 6-foot-2 guard/forward, four Division I colleges will have visited her high school, North Carolina, LSU, Maryland and Florida State. LSU and Maryland have plans to visit Williams Wednesday and FSU on Thursday. The University of Miami, Texas and Florida visited the campus last week and Georgia has plans to visit next week.
NCAA rules prohibit coaches from speaking directly to Williams, but they have been in communication with her teachers.
Williams' father, Rodney, said its too early for his daughter to narrow down her interest to one school and the family is keeping her options open.
"You need to see it all and take your time in this process. Once you take a kid off the market, someone that might be interested is not going to spend that extra time," Rodney Williams said. "We're open. That is so premature, we're no where close to doing anything like that."
Williams, a fourth-team all Central-Florida selection last season, will travel to South Carolina this weekend as one of 80 sophomore girls basketball players in the country selected to compete in an elite tournament.

White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge RecipeRead Reviews Be the first to add a review
- 1-1/2 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup butter, softened, divided
- 2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 12 squares (1 ounce each) white baking chocolate, chopped
- 1 jar (7 ounces) marshmallow cream
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candy
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- Line a 9-in. square pan with foil. Grease the foil with 1-1/2 teaspoons butter; set aside.
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, sour cream and remaining butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a rapid boil; cook and stir until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage), about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat; stir in white chocolate and marshmallow creme until melted. Fold in peppermint candy and extract. Pour into prepared pan. Chill until firm.
- Using foil, lift fudge out of pan. Gently peel off foil; cut fudge into 1-in. squares. Store in the refrigerator. Yield: 2 pounds.
Reviews for White Chocolate Peppermint Fudge
"I accidentally got milk chocolate instead of white chocolate and added it before I noticed. But it still turned out awesome. I plan to make it again with the white chocolate and I'm sure it will be just as good."
"Very good fudge! It's really light and fluffy!"
"Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfect! Love Taste of Home recipes."
"I used the Hershey's white chocolate chips and they did not work well. They didn't quite melt right and they are a "vanilla" flavor that made a cloying sweet taste. I have used white chocolate chips for fudge recipes before, but may have been Nestles brand. I think the recipe is good. Just don't use the Hershey's brand chips in it."
"I made this for the first time and it was quite easy! I did the candy thermometer trick as suggested. My candy thermometer tested 12 degrees below 212 degrees when the water started boiling. I think this contributed to the success of the recipe. I also used a 12 oz bag of white chocolate chips and sifted all the powder out of the crushed candy. Have everything ready and work fast after taking the mixture off the stove. Delightful!"

I remember watching a kids tv show in the late 90s / early 2000s about a kid or some kids who go to stay with a relative or something.
They're definitely by the beach or somewhere and I think there was a marine park involved like sea world.
I've read through this list of Australian Kids show titles but nothing has jumped out at me.
