The "Bachelor" and "Bachelorette" scandals over the years have always been interesting, but on Monday night the fans need to be ready for another shocker. According to the TV Grapevine on Monday, there will be a huge scandal revealed as "Bachelor in Paradise" shares that one contestant allegedly hooked up with a crew member. Apparently before Michelle K left the set there was a romance with a cast member which wasn't allowed under any circumstance. This story line is a follow up from last week when the contestant was so distant with the cameras.
As the week begins, two new bachelors arrive at Papaya Playa Project in Tulum, Mexico with date cards in hand. A disheartened Clare is eager to make a romantic connection and is relieved when the first new arrival asks her to be his date. The two contestants head for a romantic massage on the beach.
Lacy and Marcus' relationship begins to blossom and they enjoy a date at the exotic eco-archeological park, Xcaret. A new interesting connection upsets a jealous Robert, who Lacy invited the previous week. The drama for this episode moves quickly as people are looking to make their moment.
The second bachelor takes Clare out to explore Tulum Village, where he makes her feel special. Another date card arrives for Dylan, but the woman he chooses to invite causes some drama among the other contestants. The intensity of the contestants reminds everyone that there is no such thing as reality romance without plenty of drama.
There is two big shockers in this crazy episode. The cast is shocked when they discover that one contestant has a girlfriend back home. Then, for the first time in "Bachelor in Paradise" history, someone rejects a rose. If viewers aren't feeling the shock from all the revelations, then when Chris Harrison reveals that an illicit hookup between Michelle K. and a crew member happened, it's going to be really surprising. The show definitely will be discussed around the water cooler on Tuesday as the drama is over the top.

How low have you all been able to talk them down? I got it down to $32/month before stopping. Just trying to get an idea if I should try and get it down farther.

$8 per month as an existing subscriber a couple years ago.
The best they offered me was this $199 deal they seem to be offering non-subscribers in that that new online product - down from 249 or something. Then they offered to throw in RedZone.
That was just this past may/june when I cancelled last year's freebie offer where they gave me pretty much Oct on.
Didn't try really hard though.
They can do better than $32. I just canceled my Sunday Ticket this week and that was the first offer they gave me to try to get me to keep it. My brother got it for $100 over 6 months so $16.66/month.
Looks like I will be calling to "cancel" again. We would like to have it so we can always at least have the opportunity to watch the Bears but dont have to have it.

LOS ANGELES - "I have to learn to forgive and forget," said one U.S. sailor who survived the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
"I've never forgiven 'em. You just don't lose that many shipmates and forget that it happened," said another veteran.
Both have their say in History Channel's "Tora, Tora Tora: The True Story of Pearl Harbor," one of several films that mark the Japanese assault by giving voice to those caught in the horror of Dec. 7, 1941.
The 60th anniversary of this "date that will live in infamy," as President Franklin D. Roosevelt emblazoned it, is coming six months early on television, prodded by both Memorial Day and the box office.
Cable and broadcast networks are capitalizing on interest stirred by "Pearl Harbor," the big-budget, big-special effects film that opened Friday amid a barrage of publicity and advertising.
The actual event comes ferociously alive in eyewitness accounts and footage included in the TV programs, including the moment the USS Arizona exploded, sending a hellish black cloud hundreds of feet into the air.
Official records list 2,403 Americans killed and 1,178 wounded in the first foreign attack on the United States since the British invaded Washington, D.C., in the War of 1812.
Japanese bombers and fighter planes, launched from the decks of more than two dozen ships that had steamed undetected from Japan, bombarded U.S. aircraft and battleships with torpedoes and armor-piercing bombs.
The surprise attack was intended to neutralize America and free Japan to press its conquest of Southeast Asia. Instead, it stripped away the cloak of U.S. isolationism and pushed the nation into World War II.
"Pearl Harbor is one of those defining moments that really changed the course of history," said historian Steve Gillon. "When Americans woke up on the morning of Dec. 7, they woke up in a world that was far different from the one they went to sleep in."
The veterans of Pearl Harbor get their due as more than sacrifices to history. The TV programs detail extraordinary acts of heroism as troops quickly shook off the shock of attack and began fighting back.
John Finn manned a machine gun on his base - there were no anti-aircraft weapons - and blasted at Japanese aircraft roaring low overhead as fellow sailors kept him supplied with ammunition.
"I could have shot for six months and never reloaded," recalled the Medal of Honor recipient, now 92. Although repeatedly wounded by shrapnel, "Basically, it just wasn't my day to die," Finn said.
Others frantically tried to rescue men
From Page 1C
trapped in sinking warships or pull the injured, mostly suffering severe burns, to safety.
Among the most comprehensive of the Pearl Harbor programs, "Tora, Tora, Tora" provides political background on Japan and the United States and the forces driving them toward war, along with a wealth of detail on the logistics of the attack on an unprepared America.
As with the 1970 film "Tora! Tora! Tora!" the documentary recounts the day from both Japanese and U.S. perspectives.
"Tora, Tora, Tora" ("tiger," the code word Japan used to launch the attack) shows at 8 p.m. today as part of History Channel's Memorial Day weekend salute to Pearl Harbor. "Unsung Heroes of Pearl Harbor" precedes it at 7 p.m., with "One Hour Over Tokyo: The Doolittle Raid," showing at 10 p.m.
At 7 p.m. Sunday, the channel offers "History vs. Hollywood: Pearl Harbor," an analysis of the Disney movie's accuracy by historians, including Gillon, and veterans. Interviews with the film's stars, including Ben Affleck and Cuba Gooding Jr., also are scheduled.
NBC anchorman Tom Brokaw, author of a book on the experiences of World War II veterans, "The Greatest Generation," is host of "Pearl Harbor: Legacy of Attack." The program, rich in personal accounts of the fateful day, debuts at 7 p.m. Sunday on National Geographic Channel and at 8 p.m. that evening on NBC.
National Geographic Channel precedes the documentary with "Reflections on War," a 6 p.m. Sunday special with Brokaw, historian Stephen Ambrose and underwater explorer Robert Ballard. For another look at Disney's film version of the attack, there's "National Geographic Beyond the Movie: Pearl Harbor," at 9 p.m. Sunday.
ABC resurrects its 10-year-old, Peabody Award-winning documentary "Pearl Harbor: Two Hours That Changed the World," at 9 p.m. Saturday.
The film, a joint venture by ABC News and NHK Japanese Television to commemorate the attack's 50th anniversary, brought veterans from both sides together to illuminate the event.
"Secrets of Pearl Harbor," a Travel Channel special showing 5 p.m. Sunday, offers eyewitness accounts of the attack and underwater footage of the USS Arizona.

Billy Crudup
Manhasset, New York
"The idea that anyone can be converted from homosexuality to heterosexuality is morally repugnant."
- Billy Crudup
Billy Crudup is one of Hollywood's hardest-working leading men, with roles in movies like Almost Famous and Watchmen. However, this publicity-shy actor is potentially more famous for not being famous. He shuns the spotlight, lives in New York, picks challenging roles, and doesn't snap on crew members in F-bomb-filled tirades. That's downright boring in today's gossip-happy world, but that's exactly how Billy Crudup likes it.
Billy Crudup BiographyThe poor middle child, Billy Crudup was often ignored, taken for granted and underestimated. It's a tough role to play, but it's also the role that allowed Crudup to develop the skills he'd need to succeed in Hollywood. He was sandwiched between brothers and relied on hilarious impersonations to garner attention in his hectic childhood homes in New York, Texas and Florida.
He so relished the attention his theatrics brought him that Crudup decided to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts. A degree like that will usually get you an assistant managerial job at Starbucks, but Crudup used those credentials to land roles on Broadway.
While performing for live audiences was fulfilling, Billy Crudup also needed money for things like not starving or living somewhere that wasn't an old cardboard box. So, he endured the grind of auditioning until he got his first role, coincidentally, in a movie called Grind. It looked like Billy had finally caught his break until the producers of the film shelved it for years and relegated poor Billy back into the ranks of barely working actors.
billy crudup finally gets his break in sleepersIn 1996, Billy Crudup costarred with a veritable who's who of A-List stars including Brad Pitt, Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman in Sleepers. Despite the heaps of acting talent surrounding him, Crudup stood out and won critics over with his performance as a molested juvenile delinquent named Tommy Marcano.
billy crudup stars in almost famousBilly Crudup was vocal about his aversion to "selling out" and spent the next few years toiling in indie cinema obscurity until Cameron Crowe cast him in Almost Famous. He played a rocker on the verge of mega stardom (a character rumored to be based on The Eagles' Glen Frey) and wowed critics and the ladies alike with his mix of manly charisma and vulnerability. Crudup showed he had the presence to carry any movie, and the offers poured in.
Staying true to his artistic merits, Crudup turned down rules in blockbusters like Hulk and Titanic, choosing to focus on eclectic movies like Tim Burton's underappreciated Big Fish. Of course, he did seemingly "sell out" and appear in the big budget action flicks like the graphic novel adaptation Watchmen, but you can't blame a guy for gettin' paid, can you?
He made tabloid headlines when he left long-term girlfriend Mary Louise Parker for Claire Danes while they were filming Stage Beauty. Bad enough, but then consider Parker was seven months preggers with his child, and Mr. Nice Guy Actor starts to look a little dubious. But, all's fair in love and war, and Crudup managed to come through the awkward ordeal unscathed.

College Hockey:Union Tops AIC
Wayne Simpson Nets Game Winner in Third Period
SCHENECTADY, N.Y. — Last season when Union and AIC met at Messa Rink, the Dutchmen dominated the game, winning 6-0. Those who expected a similar result were disappointed as Union freshman Wayne Simpson scored the game-winning goal early in the third period to break a 2-2 tie before Stephane Boileau added an empty netter to give Union a 4-2 victory.
Union head coach Nate Leaman praised the AIC with their effort throughout the game.
"I got a lot of respect for the way they played tonight, he said.
The Dutchmen completely controlled the first frame, outshooting the Yellow Jackets 14-7 and taking a 2-0 lead.
Union's first goal, 7:33 into the opening period, was the product of the dominant first line of Adam Presizniuk, Jason Walters, and Mario Valery-Trabucco
The tally came when Walters skated behind the Yellow Jacket net where he put on the breaks and found Presizniuk creeping towards the left post. Walters slid the puck to him on the backhand and Presizniuk instantly snapped the puck past the glove of AIC goaltender Dan Ramirez, who was caught leaning to his right.
Union had the momentum early but AIC seemed to have taken it right back when it looked like they scored a rebound goal. But, the goal was called off due to interference.
After this scare the Dutchmen went right back to bringing offensive pressure.
They took a 2-0 lead when sophomore Brian Yanovitch scored his third goal in as many weekends. The play started when Wayne Simpson streaked down the right wing with the puck and slid the puck over to his older brother John. John quick touched the puck towards the goal, but Ramirez made a sprawling right leg save. Unluckily for Ramirez the puck landed right on the stick of Yanovitch where he flipped the puck up into the open net.
The second frame was a different story as it was AIC who had the advantage in shots and scored two goals.
When Union's Brock Matheson and Mike Wakita were each called for penalties within seven seconds of each other the Yellow Jackets received a 5-on-3 advantage about seven minutes into the period. They would not let this opportunity go to waste as midway through the advantage Adam Pleskach scored his first career goal on a scrum in front of the Union net.
After an AIC shot from the point, Milan made an initial save but the rebound bounced around in front of the net and was finally picked up by Pleskach to the right of Milan where he deposited the puck into the net.
AIC tied the game up with 4:06 to go in the period when Richard Leitner fired a hard one-timer past Milan from the top of the right circle. Pleskach assisted on the goal as he dug the puck out of the left corner and found Leitner by himself at the left circle.
"They out worked us in the second," said Union goaltender Corey Milan. "But our third period showed what we are made of."
The game would not remain tied for long as the Dutchmen took the lead for good just 1:52 into the final period when Wayne Simpson scored his first career goal.
The eventual game-winning goal occurred when senior defenseman Mike Schreiber received a pass from John Simpson and slid a pass into the slot where Wayne stretched out to put his stick on the puck, which flipped right over the head of Ramirez and into the net.
"It was a good play between my brother and 'Schribes' (Mike Schreiber)," said Wayne. "It was a lucky goal, but I'll take it."
With the score remaining 3-2 for the majority of the third period, AIC pulled goaltender Dan Ramirez and called a timeout with 59.1 seconds left. But, the Yellow Jackets were unable to score the tying goal and send the game to overtime.
Stephane Boileau added an insurance empty-net goal with 12.3 seconds remaining.
Union goaltender Corey Milan made 23 saves in the victory becoming the first Union goaltender since Kris Mayotte in 2002-03 to start a season 3-0-1. Also, with the win Milan passes Mayotte for third place on Union's career wins list with 28.
The Dutchmen (3-1-1) will face-off against Sacred Heart tomorrow night at Messa Rink, while the Yellow Jackets (0-1-0) will travel to Union's arch-nemesis RPI for a game in Troy.

The Foreign Affairs Campus Coordinator Program is designed to create a network of State Department student contacts on college campuses across the nation.
The Bureau of Public Affairs is responsible for fulfilling the Secretary's mandate to help Americans understand the importance of foreign affairs. College students are a large and important segment of that audience. This program is designed to help accomplish this aspect of the Secretary's mandate by establishing liaison relationships with students at colleges and universities across the country.
By relying on their academic experience, interest in foreign policy and knowledge of their campus community, we hope to reach a wider cross-section of the students on college campuses and surrounding institutions. The Campus Coordinators are selected by the Bureau of Public Affairs through a competitive application process.
With the guidance of the Bureau of Public Affairs, Foreign Affairs Campus Coordinators connect their academic communities to the Department's policy priorities by:

From the Inside Tucson Business Blog.
TREO hires MPA's executive director
"Effective Nov. 15, Metropolitan Pima Alliance Executive Director Michael Guymon is leaving to become Vice-President for Regional Development for Tucson Regional Economic Opportunities (TREO).
Guymon has been MPA's executive director since Sept. 2008, having served as the organization's first Governmental Relations Director. His career experience includes both the public and private sectors as former Chief-of-Staff to Tucson City Council Member Fred Ronstadt and political consultant to a number of downtown area development projects.
The MPA Board of Directors will be responsible for hiring a new executive director."
While TREO has lots of different issues(taking credit for work they didn't do, for one of them), their biggest problem is being content selling a broken region. Yes, I know that the City and County still give them a big hunk of taxpayer dough. Yes, I know that Mayor McCheese and Sharon Bronson sit on their board. TREO's lack of courage in telling these folks that they have an "ugly baby" is part of the reason that Tucson is slowly becoming an economic Katrina. When Raytheon picked Alabama over Tucson, TREO didn't even bother to tell their board member, former Raytheon engineer and head cheerleader in chief, Mayor Bob.
The geniuses at TREO got together and said: "Let's hire a Governmental Relations Director!". It's a good idea, but needs to have an independent guy/gal, with some guts to tell the truth on how to fix Tucson/Pima County for business. Especially small business.
So who does TREO hire: Michael Guymon, from the Metropolitan Pima Alliance. Yes, that Michael Guymon.
1) The man who is a paid consultant for Garfield Traub to help shove the Downtown Hotel down the taxpayer's throat.
From the Arizona Daily Star (Rob O'Dell, March 30th 2010)
"Among those expected to have some say in whether the hotel will be built:
–Michael Guymon
The former City Council aide was a paid lobbyist for the company when it was trying to win the hotel bid and after it was selected.
He later became executive director at the Metropolitan Pima Alliance, whose members include businesses, developers and governments. The organization, which calls itself, "your voice for reasonable and responsible development," is expected to make a recommendation on whether the hotel should be built.
Guymon said he disclosed his relationship with Garfield Traub before he took the job and says his contract is basically completed, although he said he will still earn a bonus if the hotel is approved."
2) The man who sits on Museum of Contempory Arts board, which magically received a $1/year rent at the Fire Station #1 on Church street.
"The purpose of the press conference was to expose a sweetheart deal between the City Council and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA), in which MOCA was given a five-year lease of the old Fire Station One for only $1-a-year. This is a facility worth millions of dollars and will require yearly maintenance costs in the six figures and more than $80,000 in upgrades."
(check the previous post on the deal: http://tucsongrowup.com/2009/10/)
No doubt Guyman's insider connections at the City of Tucson will help ensure funding and relationships remain in tact. Over at the County, Guyman doesn't have the juice. He's not from the Grijalva or Eckstrom camps so it's going to be tough. In Oro Valley and Marana, if they are smart, they'll tell the Tucson centric TREO to hang out on the sideline and bring out the water bottles during the time outs.
Great move TREO, kudos to your organization on remaining the ineffective organization that you've evolved into. Give Joe Snell a raise while you're at it.
Twenty-five years back, there were a clutch of prime mantras among the activist set: Growth could be stopped. Cattle-grazing was archaic. Mining was a goner. Developers could be battled to a standstill, and the Pusch Ridge bighorns would tough it out.Today, folks who built below Pusch Ridge adore the foothills wildlife–until it nibbles their bougainvillea. More habitat has vanished from this county than perhaps ever existed in some states. Cows are now seen as bulwarks against bulldozers. As for bighorn sheep, well, somebody figures they might have seen a footprint up beyond those pretty cul-de-sacs sometime back.
Growth has continued at freakish levels, although a crashing real estate market offers some hope. Still, even wayward water supplies haven't truly threatened this juggernaut; the housing industry, along with local government, still huddles under the Central Arizona Project's rippling chimera.
Yet time marches on. And some iconic battles from those days–stopping the UA telescopes on Mount Graham, for example, or blocking developer Don Diamond's Rocking K Ranch exurb–weren't exactly won, but they weren't totally lost, either.
The Mount Graham mountaintop telescopes are nearly due for review by the Coronado National Forest, and UA astronomers may lack the political muscle of yesteryear. Diamond did toss a few acreage bones to Saguaro National Park East, and bankrolled the Rincon Institute to cope with what his avarice had wrought.
Meanwhile, some things have actually improved. Though our fair city has plumped beyond reason, one recent UA analysis reveals that Arizona's population grew by a measly 1.6 percent in the last year, the lowest rate since the blistering recession in the 1990s.
And although we've had decades to ponder the mine tailings south of Tucson ("Manmade Mountains!" one real estate brochure enthused), citizens are tightly organized against a new mine proposed for Rosemont Valley in the Santa Rita Mountains.
So there is reason to hope. Indeed, tempered optimism is raison d'ètre among most conservationists. Among them is Carolyn Campbell, executive director of the Coalition for Sonoran Desert Protection. Campbell's coalition has been knee-deep in prodding Pima County's Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan (one true victory-in-progress) down the road to reality.
Since its late 1990s inception as a wildlife-protection blueprint, the project has spent roughly $120 million from a voter-approved bond to purchase or lease more than 160,000 acres.
To Campbell, that 2004 bond–when citizens earmarked nearly $175 million to buy open space–was a turning point. "In Pima County, people have always been working on protecting open space," she says, "and we've had open-space bonds for the last 20 years. But the big difference is the planning and scientific effort that went into this endangered-species project. The open space we targeted was key habitat for particular species, along with connectivity between some of the already preserved areas. So there was a little bit of method to the madness.
"It's why there's still a lot of support from the conservation community, and, I believe, the community at large," Campbell says. "We've had the best available science behind the plan, and not politics. But what is different now is that we have the political will among citizens. Before, it was like beating our heads against the wall."
Gayle Hartmann has also been in the trenches for eons, including a stint on the Pima County Planning and Zoning Commission. She now heads Save the Scenic Santa Ritas, a group fighting the proposed Rosemont mine. Hartmann heralds the addition of Sharon Bronson and Ray Carroll to the Pima County Board of Supervisors. Bronson was elected to the board in 1996, representing District 3; Carroll was appointed to represent District 4 a year later, and formally elected in 1998. Finally, says Hartmann, "there was a majority on the board that was really interested in conservation."
Both supervisors championed open-space preservation, and Carroll has fought the proposed Rosemont mine with a notable vengeance. In 2007, he garnered the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Outstanding Achievement award.
Equally notable is a shift among Green Valley constituents in District 4 who support him. "Twenty years ago, Green Valley was always against any type of open space," says Hartmann, "and that's completely changed. I don't know if it's because there are more people there, or if the people there are somewhat different. But his district–although they may be politically conservative in some ways–now seems very concerned about environmental issues."
That concern has been critical in efforts to limit Santa Cruz Valley growth, including the vastly scaled-down Canoa Ranch development. Many Green Valley dwellers have also been bare-knuckle opponents of the Augusta mine.
Another positive change, says Hartmann, "is that we don't have quite as nasty a war between the pro-growth and no-growth sides. To some degree, I guess the pro-growthers won. But at the same time, I think there's a much better understanding of the need to do preservation and see that we have enough water."
Roger Featherstone, a longtime anti-mining activist, has likewise been in the fray for years. Today, he relishes the heat generated against Canadian-owned Augusta Resource Corp., the mining company hoping to gut Rosemont Valley. He's also guardedly cheered about legislation sifting through Congress to reform the despised 1872 Mining Act. This antiquated law gives mining companies such as Augusta near carte blanche in laying claim to public lands.
"Tucson has become a lot more conservation-minded in the last 20 years," Featherstone says, "and I think that really shows in the Rosemont fight. You now have to look long and hard to find anybody who's in favor of that mine.
"People understand," he says, "that Tucson has different values now when it comes to raping and pillaging the land than they did 20 years ago."
Despite that positive shift, says Featherstone, conservationists now face an unexpected foe: themselves. "Twenty-five years ago, when we were all here fighting, we worked really hard, and we had some successes and some real disappointments. But the pace wasn't nearly so frenetic. We had time to sit on a porch at night with buddies and drink beer.
"But now we've really gotten into this 'Alice in Wonderland' syndrome, where we're running twice as fast, and we're still falling behind. I think the conservation community has to take a serious look at the fact that they're working twice as hard and getting a lot less done–with a lot more stress and a lot more unhappiness.
"If I could start a new environmental trend," he half-chuckles, "it would be modeled on the slow-food movement."
So does long and languid dining offer any tantalizing hints for Tucson's environmental future? We'll pop a beer, gnaw a few pretzels and get back to you on that in about 25 years.

If the missing plane Flight MH370 landed after being hijacked is unknown. However, Malaysian official have told AP that Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 was hijacked. "Malaysian authorities have concluded that a passenger jet missing since last week was hijacked and deliberately steered off course, a government official involved in the investigation told The Associated Press," reported the Washington Post on March 14, 2014. "It's conclusive," the Malaysian official said.
Friday's information provided by Malaysian authorities that the plane was hijacked is also being reiterated by U.S. officials. "It's looking less and less like an accident," said one U.S. official who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to speak publicly. "It's looking more like a criminal event."
On Friday, one week after the disappearance of Flight MH370, Malaysian as well as U.S. officials said that the airplane did continue to fly after the transponder had stopped transmitting.
A second U.S. official commented that the path of the Malaysian Airlines plane was unusual after it disappeared from radar. The senior official said that the plane reached an altitude of about 45,000 feet and "jumped around a lot."
The Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) is a two-way onboard computer system which sends and receives data to a satellite. Even though the stream of data from the plane to the satellite stops, the satellite can still send data to the plane.
If a plane crashes, all communication between the plane and the satellite seizes instantly, which does not apply to MH370.
"It is very possible for you as a pilot in the cockpit to turn off the ACARS system," said a third U.S. official under the condition of anonymity. "If you knew what you were doing in the cockpit, you could shut off ACARS transmission." What cannot be controlled from the cockpit is the satellite's ability to detect that the plane is still there.
"The detection of the plane but the refusal to receive a response indicates that someone was manually in control of the flight."
According to Mikael Robertsson of FlightRadar24, a Stockholm-based flight service that sells its tracking data to airports and airlines, the signal to the transponder of the plane was lost at 1:21 a.m. when it was flying at 35,000 feet. Robertsson assumes that even though the "B777-200ER can fly up to about 16 to 18 hours," since the flight was supposed to be just for six hours, the plane was probably fueled for only seven to eight hours of flying time.
The flight departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12:41 a.m. local time and went off the radar in less than an hour, which would have given it potentially six hours of fuel.
"That gave it the capacity to have landed or crashed anywhere between Mongolia in the north to Australia to the south, or from the west coast of India to hundreds of miles east of the Philippines."
The question of whether the missing plane Flight MH370 was able to land or not is unknown or not being made public since this is a "politically sensitive investigation." The New York Times reported on Friday that "the plane continued to maneuver as if under control from the cockpit" and changed altitude several times. Malaysian military radar showed it climbing to 45,000 feet and then dropping to 23,000 feet as it approached the Malaysian island of Penang. The investigation into the background of the 227 passengers and 12 crew members continues.

Perspectives on 2013 Legislative Session – New homeowner association law
This has been a busy year for homeowner association (HOA) bills. Early in the year, Senator Hays proposed SB596 that was a blanket rewrite of Chapter 720, originally proposed by a "consumer advocacy" group. That bill included a provision requiring homeowners to deposit money into the court registry before the HOA proved it was owed, and denying homeowners the right to assert all their defenses. It would have been a violation of procedural due process and a denial of access to the courts. Both the mortgage foreclosure and HOA bills originally contained a somewhat similar provision, although the HOA provision was worse. Both provisions failed. SB 596 was all but scuttled in a later version, which is also history – for now. Homeowners should be aware that these provisions may resurface again. This is a prime example of why homeowners need to consider the merits of any bill, and not who proposed it. Look beyond the "talking points" and investigate what these bills actually say. Fortunately for all of us, a much better bill will now become law. After much debate, HB 7119 was finally passed and will be enacted on July 1, 2013. While it is not ideal, this bill will provide much needed changes for both homeowners and associations.
One of the most useful provisions is a legislative correction to 'overrule' the case decided last January, Aventura Management, LLC v. Spiaggia Ocean Condominium Association, Inc. In intepreting the existing joint and several liability provision in F.S. 720.3085, the court ruled that where the HOA foreclosed before the bank, the HOA could not collect any past due assessments from a subsequent owner (including the bank) because the HOA was deemed a "previous owner." HB 7119 changes F.S. 720.3085 to now exempt the HOA from "previous owner" status. Although the HOA will not be allowed to collect for assessments incurred while it had title, the HOA will now be able to collect other past due assessments from the bank or any other subsequent purchaser, in the amounts allowed by law. This is an important change that will help homeowners and associations, unlike the first HOA proposals.
In addition, HB 7119 contains much needed provisions for board and community association manager (CAM) accountability, tracking the number and size of HOAs in Florida, and new requirements for developers, boards and HOAs. Unfortunately, it includes a hodgepodge of provisions from Chapter 718 and Chapter 720 that will make elections even more opaque and open to abuse.
Here are other highlights of the new law effective July 1, 2013:
- 720.303 (5) Inspection and Copying of Records — This addition largely tracks the condo statute, in requiring that official records be maintained for at least 7 years, and be made available to parcel owners for inpection and copying within 45 miles of the community or within the county in which the association is located within 10 business days after receipt by the board or its designee of a written request; allows the association to make the records available electronically via the internet or by allowing the records to be viewed in electronic format and printed upon request; allows members to electronically scan or photograph records without charge; eliminates open-ended "personnel charges" by limiting them to $20 an hour after the first half hour and prohibiting personnel charges for the copying of 25 pages or less; changes the allowable copying charge from 50 cents to 25 cents a page, and authorizes the HOA to charge actual copying charges of an outside duplicating service, if the HOA does not have a copying machine or the request exceeds 25 pages.
- 720.303 (6) Budgets – Adds another transparency requirement of developers: if the developer establishes reserves, the budget must designates the components for which the reserve accounts may be used.
- 720.303 (13) Reporting Requirements — Adds a new section requiring HOAs to register with the Division. As it now stands, there is no tracking as to how many or what type of HOAs exist in Florida. The caveat? This registration requirement has a "sunset" provision — it expires on July 1, 2016 unless reenacted by the Legislature.
- 720.3033 Officers and Directors – A much needed change, this provision now requires removal of any director or officer who has been charged with a felony theft or embezzlement offense involving the HOA's funds or property; Requires the HOA to maintain insurance or a fidelity bond for all persons who control or disburse association funds but unfortunately allows a majority of the members to waive this requirement; Models the condo certification requirements for new directors; Requires disclosures for directors and officers who have a financial interest in any entity negotiating a contract with the HOA (and a vote of the members if any member objects to the contract); Prohibits directors, officers and managers from soliciting or accepting goods/services without consideration (something in return);
- 720.306 Meeting of the Members; voting and election prcedures; amendments — A hodgepodge of condo and HOA elections, this will likely make an already opaque election process worse. It removes the requirement that the HOA allow nominations from the floor at the election meeting; Retains the HOA's election procedures (including the long problematic nominating committee) and removes the requirement of an election unless there are more candidates than vacancies.
On a bright note, this provision adds a requirement that HOAs provide copies to the members of any amendment to the governing documents, within 30 days after recording.
- 720.307 Transition of association control in a community — Requires the developer to turnover control of the association to the members if the developer abandons its responsibility to pay assessments, maintain or complete amenities or infrastructure as disclosed in the governing documents, files for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, loses or gives up title to commn areas through foreclosure or pre-foreclosure, or if a receiver is appointed. It also provides that members other than the developer are entitled to elect at least one board member if 50% of the parcels in all phases have been conveyed to the members.
- 720.3075 Prohibited clauses in association documents – 720.3075 already prohibits any clause allowing a developer to unilaterally make changes to the HOA documents after 90 percent of the parcels have been conveyed to members. This is an important provision that is based on public policy: a developer no longer retains rights reserved to him in the covenants, after he has sold most of the lots in the development. Recently in Martin County, a judge also followed this public policy (and consistent court opinions) in declaring void an assignment of a sole right to amend after the developer had conveyed the properties to the non-developer owners. One cannot convey that which he does not own. SB 7119 now adds to this by prohibiting certain changes before transition — the right of the developer to amend the association's governing documents is subject to a test of reasonableness, which prohibits the developer from unilaterally making amendments that are arbitrary, capricious or in bad faith; which destroy the general plan of development; prejudice the rights of existing nondeveloper members to use and enjoy the benefits of common property; or materially shift economic burdens from the developer to the existing nondeveloper members.
- 468.436 Disciplinary proceedings for Community Association Managers — CAMs who violate any provision of Chapter 718, 719 or 720 during the course of performing CAM services purusant to a contract with a community association are now subject to discipline by the Division. The only surprise about this provision is that it has not existed years before. For CAMs that operate within the law, this should be of no concern. For those who do not, finally there may be some accountability.
Overall, this law will create vast improvements for both homeowners and homeowner associations. The CAM accountability will help all community associations. The only problem I foresee is the HOA election process. This could well result in even fewer elections, and more "rolling over" of directors, allowing problem boards to circumvent elections with even fewer repercussions than already exist. Others have suggested, and I agree, that HOAs need a new election process that is not wholesale lifting from condo law and is certainy not this hodgepodge combination.

Gateshead 1-1 Tamworth
Gateshead had to share the spoils with Tamworth but remain top of the table ahead of Tuesday's big top three showdown with Wrexham at the International Stadium.
The Tynesiders dominated the first half with some great football but had only James Curtis' 23rd minute goal to show for their efforts.
Disaster then struck. Ben Clark tore his hamstring three minutes into the second period and then fellow central defender Curtis was forced off with a cut above his eye on 70 minutes.
Tamworth, much improved in the second half, seized their opportunity to score the equaliser with Gateshead missing both centre backs.
Conference top scorer Jon Shaw and right back Craig Baxter, on as a substitute, became the makeshift central defensive pairing.
Substitute Gary Mulligan's handball then gave the Lambs the chance to restore parity on 75 minutes.
Gateshead keeper Paul Farman, however, threw himself to his left to pull off a stunning save from Iyesden Christie - only for the linesman to raise his flag and force a retake.
The flag waver deemed Farman had come off his line, a decision even Lambs boss Marcus Law, a former goalkeeper, felt was harsh.
Reprieved, Christie duly took his second opportunity to find the net and deny Gateshead the chance to extend their lead at the top.
"We were so far ahead in terms of ability in the first half that it was like a practice game and we should have been two or three up," said Gateshead boss Ian Bogie.
"Losing both centre halves was a real blow but we didn't start the second half well and Tamworth came back strongly.
"We didn't do enough in the second half but we're still top and now have a massive game at home to Wrexham on Tuesday.
"Ewan Moyes will come in for his debut in place of Clark and we'll have to see if Curtis can be patched up, if not we may have to look at the loan market."
It was the long serving Curtis who gave Gateshead the lead with a glancing header into the far bottom corner from Shaw's cross.
Josh Gillies' delivery from the original corner had been overhit but Shaw retrieved the situation superbly and showed he can create as well as score goals.
A slip by Tamworth captain Paul Green then let in Yemi Odubade but the Nigerian shot the wrong side of the post close in from an angle with only Jonathon Hedge to beat.
Odubade then set up Shaw inside the six-yard box but the ball bobbled off the striker's shins and wide as Tamworth struggled to stay afloat.
Gateshead had given the Lambs a footballing lesson but they couldn't get the second goal to kill off the midlanders.
A great ball from Shaw saw Gillies cut inside menacingly but Tamworth full back Richard Tait got in a crucial tackle before the trigger could be pulled.
A Sam Habergam handball saw Odubade's stinging free kick tipped over the bar by Hedge before the visitors finally registered their first shot at goal in the 45th minute.
Jay Smith's free kick from distance sailed high and wide but it was a more ambitious Tamworth that emerged for the second half.
After Clark's untimely departure the Lambs forced their first corner on the hour and had a great chance to level when Sam Rents' clearance lacked distance.
Ashley Cain was left with only Farman to beat but the Heed keeper spread himself and stayed big to make a crucial block.
A disjointed Gateshead never got going in the second half and Farman had to show good reactions to tip over Francino Francis' bullet header.
It all unravelled from the resultant corner, however, as Mulligan handled in a crowded box to give away a soft penalty.
Christie scored at the second attempt from the spot but Mulligan could then have won it five minutes from time.
Phil Turnbull threaded a pass into Kris Gate who pulled the ball back for Mulligan only for the Irishman to sweep a left foot shot wide of the far post.
Shaw was then inches over the bar from distance as Gateshead's unbeaten home record stretched to a 7th game.

The AM Roundup: Holder's Speech, Alien Tort, Biden Just Says 'No'
Targeted killing: It is constitutional for the U.S. government to kill a U.S. citizen posing an imminent terrorist threat to the country if capturing that person isn't feasible and the strike is conducted in accordance with the laws of war, Attorney General Eric Holder said Monday. WSJ
Maybe a trim: The Supreme Court indicated Monday that it may scale back the Alien Tort Statute, an 18th-century federal law that permits foreigners to sue in U.S. courts over violations of international law. WSJ
Gun rights: In a victory for gun-rights advocates in a growing battle over the right to carry firearms on campuses, Colorado's highest court ruled Monday that the state law governing who may carry concealed weapons applies to the state's public colleges and universities. WSJ
Overturned: The Iranian Supreme Court's decision to overturn a death sentence for a former American Marine signaled an effort to ease tensions with the West—or else use him as a political pawn, analysts said Monday. WSJ
Just say no: Vice President Joe Biden is on a two-day visit to Mexico and Central America. There is growing sentiment in the region for the U.S. to legalize drugs, but Biden said that won't happen. WSJ

A 24-year-old hot Italian twink is next on the menu, and uncut gay pornstar Michael insists on grilling this applicant too. Federico Ferro engages in a solo with a massive, double-headed dildo. But why should he have all of the fun? Michael decides to join the lad, and they both end up masturbating together until reaching climax!
A professional model in his native Italy, Federico surprised Michael Lucas in his audition with what he could do and just how far he was willing to do it. Two words: giant dildo. Watch Auditions Volume 1 to see what we mean.
What is there to say about Michael Lucas? A good place to start is the beginning: Lucas Entertainment founder and president Michael Lucas was born in Moscow, Russia, on March 10, 1972. He was raised in Moscow and attended college there, graduating with a degree in law. In 1995, Michael Lucas moved to Germany, then to France, where he began modeling and appearing on several European television programs and covers of many European magazines. In 1998, Lucas opened his own production company, Lucas Entertainment, in New York City. Later that year, he made his directorial debut with the well-received Back in the Saddle. This first production sparked the Michael Lucas "renegade" vision that is indelibly New York. Additionally, basing his company in New York City, as opposed to the more traditional Los Angeles, enabled Lucas to showcase the diversity of types and ethnicities found nowhere else. MIchael Lucas started Lucas Distribution, Inc. in 2004 and LucasBlog.com in 2005. Both are pioneering ventures in the competitive realms of adult video distribution and online media, respectively. In the summer of 2005 he released GayVN's Best Picture of the year, a high-budget adult film remake of Dangerous Liaisons, featuring celebrity cameos from RuPaul, Boy George, Graham Norton, Bruce Vilanch, and Michael Musto. In 2006, filming began on his most buzzed about film ever, Michael Lucas' La Dolce Vita. The production included a big-budget fashion show, a sextra-filled club orgy scene, a headline-making fountain scene with Vivid star Savanna Samson. On November 12, 2004, Michael Lucas was proudly sworn in as an American citizen.

SAN FRANCISCO — The lead at the U.S. Open belonged to Michael Thompson. The buzz came from Tiger Woods.
And the struggles came from the three players in the world ranking.
Even as Thompson strung together four birdies on the back nine at Olympic Club that carried him to a 4-under 66, Woods put on a clinic on the other side of the course on how to handle the toughest test in golf.
Woods was never out of position. None of his tee shots found the deep, nasty rough lining the fairways. There was little stress for such a demanding major.
With consecutive birdies late in his round, including a 35-foot putt that banged into the back of the cup on No. 5, Woods opened with a 1-under 69 to raise hopes that he can finally end that four-year drought in the majors.
"I felt like I had control of my game all day," Woods said. "Just stuck to my game plan — and executed my game plan."
Woods was vague on the details of that plan, though it surely wasn't the one followed by the other two guys in his star-powered group.
Phil Mickelson hit a wild hook for his opening tee shot that was never found, presumably lost in a cypress tree, and he matched his worst opening round in a U.S. Open at 76. Bubba Watson chopped his way through the rough to a 78, showing that "Bubba Golf" works better at Augusta National than at Olympic Club.
They weren't the only ones to suffer.
Luke Donald, the No. 1 player in the world, is trying to capture his first major. It most likely won't be this one. He failed to make a single birdie and shot 79. He played with Rory McIlroy, the defending champion and No. 2 in the world, who shot a 77. Lee Westwood, No. 3 in the world and the other member of the rank group, was 4 over through six holes and rallied for a 73.
Nick Watney holed out from the fairway for an albatross 2 on the par-5 17th hole, sending him to a 69. Graeme McDowell, who won the U.S. Open two years ago down the coast at Pebble Beach, and Justin Rose also had 69 in the faster conditions of afternoon. David Toms shot his 69 in the morning, relying on a solid short game and a good attitude.
"You really just have to concentrate, give it your all on every shot and never give in to the golf course, because it will punish you if your attitude is not good, if your concentration is not good," Toms said. "There's just too many hard shots out there to really ever give in to it and not be there."
Thompson's game seems to work on this quirky, tree-lined course built on the side of a giant dune that separates the Pacific Ocean from Lake Merced.
He was runner-up in the 2007 U.S. Amateur at Olympic Club and couldn't wait to get back.
After a roller coaster of a front nine that featured consecutive bogeys and holing a bunker shot for birdie on the downhill par-3 third hole, Thompson hit his stride on the back nine, even if hardly anyone was watching.
He made five consecutive 3s — three of them birdies — and closed his dream round with a 10-foot birdie putt on the short, tough 18th for the lead. Thompson took 22 putts.
"On the back side, the putter ... seems like every putt went in the hole," said Thompson, a 27-year-old playing his first U.S. Open as a pro. "Got a little nervous there once all those cameras showed up. It's always a little bit of an adjustment. In that sense, I kind of wish I was Phil or Tiger, because you get the cameras from the beginning."
There weren't enough cameras or fans to find Mickelson's opening tee shot, but it was easy to find Woods.
He missed only four fairways — three of them that ran off the severe slopes and into the first cut, the other into a bunker on the 256-yard seventh hole, which is where he was aiming. The only glitch was failing to get the ball closer to the hole with short irons, including the 14th when it landed on the back of the green and bounced off the base of the grandstand.
That led to one of his two bogeys, the other at No. 6 with a poor bunker shot. The only surprise was a good one — the 35-foot birdie putt on the fifth that he struck too hard and worried it might lead to a three-putt until the hole got in the way.
"Five was a fluke," Woods said. "That putt was off the green."
Olympic wasn't that simple for most everyone else.
Watson was asked about his strategy of hitting his pink-painted driver. "I shot 8 over, so not very good," he said. The next question was how he played out of the rough with short irons in his hand. "I shot 8 over, so not very good," he said.
"You could answer these yourself," he said.
A marine layer in the morning allowed for cool, overcast conditions that eventually gave way to sunshine. That didn't help. Steve Marino opened with an 84. Zach Johnson didn't feel as though he played all that badly until he signed for a 77. Padraig Harrington thought the course was fair, and allowed for good scores. But he had two four-putts and a three-putt that ruined a reasonable day and gave him a 74.
"It just goes to show that firm greens scare the life out of professional golfers," Harrington said.
Mickelson was looking forward to playing with Woods — the last time they were together, Lefty closed with a 64 and buried him at Pebble Beach in February — but he could not have envisioned a worse start. The hook was bad enough. But as Mickelson approached the gallery and looked for a crowd surrounding his ball, his eyes widened when a marshal told him, "No one heard it come down."
Five minutes later, he was on his way back to the tee.
Mickelson made an unlikely bogey on the hole, added two more bogeys and was fighting the rest of the day. A three-putt late in the round cost him dearly, and now Mickelson can only hope he's around for the weekend.
"I can't really think about the lead or anything," said Mickelson, who was 10 shots behind. "I've just got to make the cut right now, and to do that I've got to shoot something under par."
Woods is coming off his second win of the year at Memorial, and while that made him the favorite at the U.S. Open, recent history left some questions.
He won Bay Hill by five shots going into the Masters, and then had his worst performance as a pro at Augusta National. Woods said he wasn't hitting the ball as consistently well in the spring, not like he is now. And it showed.
"That was the old Tiger," Watson said. "That was beautiful to watch. That's what we all come to see. That's what we all want to watch, and that was awesome to see him strike the ball good."
It wasn't enough for the lead, but it was enough to break par, which is never bad at Olympic Club.
Thompson, who said he had only a few hundred people following his group, understands all the fuss over a 14-time major champion who is showing signs of returning to the top of his game. He was more than happy with a 66 and his name atop the leaderboard, and he made it clear he wasn't going to settle for one good round.
"A lot of people don't know who I am, and I'm totally OK with that because I've always been a player that just kind of hangs around," Thompson said. "I don't give up very easily and I'm very proud of that. Give Tiger the spotlight. I don't care. I'm going to go out and play my game. If I go out and putt the way I did today, I'll be contention."

UNCW women aim to break skid in kids' matinee
Published: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 7:26 p.m.
The UNCW women's basketball team will entertain approximately 4,500 elementary school students from New Hanover County during Thursday's annual Seahawks Tomorrow contest against North Carolina A&T.
UNCW women (1-9) vs. N.C. A&T (7-5)
When: 11:30 a.m. Thursday
Where: Trask Coliseum (5,500)
Tickets: $6 for adults; free ages 15 and under, faculty and staff. Available at the door prior to tipoff, at uncwsports.com or by calling (800) 808-UNCW.
What You Need to Know: UNCW is looking to snap its six-game losing streak and break out of its offensive slump. The Seahawks have reached the 60-point mark just once this season. N.C. A&T has been pretty stingy on defense, allowing just 57.5 points.
The game will tip at 11:30 a.m. at Trask Coliseum to accommodate the students and staff. The Seahawks are 5-0 in Seahawks Tomorrow games, including a 60-53 victory over Northeastern last season.
This will be first-year head coach Adell Harris' first experience with the game, but she is looking forward to it.
"We have gone already to some of the elementary schools and visited and signed some autographs and spent some time with the kids," Harris said, "so we are excited about it."
UNCW (1-9) is looking to end a six-game losing streak and finish the non-conference schedule on a good note. The start is the worst since the 1993-94 season, when the Seahawks started 1-10.
"We are still fighting and grinding it out every day," Harris said. "I know it's a process and I don't attach today's results with the overall outcome of our season by any means, but for our kids and especially it being a special game…it would be exciting to come away with a W going into that James Madison game on Sunday."
N.C. A&T (7-5) has won four of its last six games, including a 75-65 victory over Elon on Monday. The Aggies are led by JaQuayla Berry, who averages 12.3 points and 6.6 rebounds, and Amber Calvin, who scores 10.7 points and knocks down over 50 percent of her 3-point attempts.
"They are going to apply pressure to us in all of their defenses," Harris said. "They are a multiple defensive team, so we'll see some halfcourt stuff, we'll see some fullcourt token stuff, but because they are so athletic they will get up in us and pressure us a lot different than Richmond did."
UNCW leads the all-time series 14-9, but this is just the second meeting between the squads since the 1995-96 season. The Seahawks won 90-63 last season in Greensboro.

We Buy Ugly Chairs
One day, we received a call from a neighbor saying that a local junk shop was going out of business. Junk? We were there within minutes! Shockingly, we paid good money for this "Before" chair. It cost a whole $5!
As ghastly as the "Before" pictures are, I'm not sure they do this chair justice. A stamp on the bottom of the chair tells us it was manufactured on Feb. 15, 1954. From the looks of the chair, it had been sitting outside since 1961.
The fabric was… special. Truly, we would have liked the fabric, if it had been in mint condition. Sadly, there was nothing mint about this chair. The fabric was more like parchment paper that turned into powder at the slightest touch. Let's just say the dust mites had done a thorough job.
The first thing we did was to remove the fabric, which, for once, was easier done that said! The original padding also made its way to the trash. The legs were sanded and stained with a cherry finish.
The fabric we selected was an inexpensive duck cloth. We bought 2 yards with a 40% off coupon. New padding was attached to the seat and back. Landon cut out the fabric to attach to the chair. That was more difficult than usual because there was no pattern to go by, since the original fabric had sort of disintegrated!
Decorative tacks were added to attach the back panel to the chair. The result is a chair that doesn't make you want to reach for a bottle of Purell!

Amazing!! Seriously, you guys rock.
Hi, surfed over from Apartment Therapy. Really nice project. Just to verify, did you finish the seat and back separately before assembling?
Did you do the front corners with box pleat?
Did you use "curve ease"…that specialty metal border stuff with the prongs, that helps hold a nice edge on the back? The alternative is cardboard, I think.
Thanks. I'll be exploring your blog for more goodies !
Y'all did a great job. The chair looks fabulous! Congratulations on being featured at Apartment Therapy!
Also came over from Apartment Therapy, I really like the material.
Where did you find it?
Looks fantastic! So glad you saved this chair!
Wow! Congratulations on being featured on Apartment Therapy!!! I'm one of your biggest fans!
I'm your other biggest fan!
Congratulations for being featured on apartment therapy! Wow! Great chair rehab as well.
