The 100th Day of School
Kindergarten and first grade students love counting the days of school. The 100th day of school is a fun celebration and a great way to incorporate a wide variety of hands-on math activities, develop critical thinking skills, and teach children that learning is fun! Here is a collection of some of my favorite activities. If you have some wonderful ideas that you would like to share with us, please email me!
When I am 100 years old...
Have each child create a self-portrait of what he thinks he will look like when he is 100 years old. Then, have each child write about what he thinks he will do when he is 100. Bind these into a class book or display them on a bulletin board. It is also fun to put out a variety of art supplies for the self-portraits and make them into collages.
I could eat 100...
Have each child complete this sentence and illustrate it. This makes a cute class book and is great for morning work on the 100th day of school.
100th Day Necklaces
Use multi-colored yarn and fruit loops for making necklaces. I put out special counting mats for this project. Children can choose to count out 5 groups of 20 fruit loops or 10 groups of 10.
100 Spots on a Dalmation Puppy
Enlarge a picture of a puppy from a coloring book or clip art collection. I make my puppy fit on 11x17" paper. Put out black markers and allow each child to add 100 spots. This would make a great collaborative group project as well as ease counting headaches!
Share Collections of 100
Invite each child to bring in a collection of 100 identical items such as paperclips, marbles, jelly beans, pennies, milk caps, noodles, etc. Have them sent to school in ten ziploc baggies of ten items each. Then, use a balance to weigh a bag of various collections and find out who had the heaviest item and who had the lightest. Working as a group you can sequence the collections in order from heaviest to lightest.
Make 100th Day Snack Mix
Provide 5 different snacks. Invite each student to decorate a lunch sack. Then, each child can have 20 pieces of each snack item. Of course you can have 10 different items and allow each child to place 10 pieces of each item in his bag. Some favorite snack mix items include:
pretzels or pretzel sticks
chocolate chips
Chex cereal
Honey Comb cereal
Fruit loops cereal
sunflower seeds
Is 100 seconds a long time?
Conduct some experiments to find out if 100 seconds is a long time to be quiet, run in place, take a drink of water, write in your journals, etc. Post the results of your experiments on a bulletin board!
Read 100 words!
Write 100 words on index cards and have the children read them. I always include the children's names, days of the week, words we use everyday, and the last cards are sequenced in this order:
I also type up these words to send home in their folders. The children are always amazed that they can read 100 words!
100th Day Snacks
Make 100
You will need:
1 mini bagel for each child
Cream cheese or Frosting
Rainbow Sprinkles
Chocolate wafer cookies (The skinny, tall, rectangular- shaped ones!)
Give each child a plate with a wafer and a bagel (not separated) and ask them to make 100. Then, allow them to spread cream cheese on their bagels and add sprinkles. Eat!
!00th Day Cake by Jan Sweda
Bring in a plain, iced cake. Divide the cake into ten sections using frosting. Have the children help put 100 m&m's on the cake by placing ten candies in each section!
What would you buy with $100
This is a great activity for older children. To adapt this activity to first grade, send it home as a family project. Give each child a gift certificate for $100 imaginary dollars. Have the child cut out pictures of toys or other items they would buy with the money.
100th Day Crowns
Make your own 100th Day Crowns by using a die-cut machine to cut out 100. Then, staple or glue the numbers to sentence strips or construction paper. Children can add designs using stamps or markers. How about adding 100 star stickers?!

This isn't the first time Jerry Brown finds himself drawn to the challenge of a messed-up government.
Twelve years before his current campaign to govern a state some say verges on ungovernable, the Democrat set his sights on running the troubled city of Oakland. The municipality regularly ranks with the nation's most crime-ridden, poorly educated and underemployed cities.
Brown aimed high, vowing to improve schools, reduce crime and revitalize downtown. His plan for a redevelopment renaissance promised new stores, restaurants, arts venues and homes, and 10,000 new residents. Instead of the liberal he's often stereotyped as, Brown became a tough-on-crime, pro-development mayor, according to Kim Geron, a political science professor at Cal State East Bay.
"He really acted as a centrist, and was friendly to the business community," Geron said. "He got flak from the progressive community."
But Brown's big promises ran into some hard realities. While he brought dramatic development to downtown, he was less successful on other fronts. Now, in his run for governor, the campaign pitch is more tempered.
"He's not promising so much this time," Geron said. "He's being more realistic. He understands how immense the state's problems are."
Brown, 72, learned some lessons and honed some skills in Oakland, and his tenure from 1999 to 2007 is more telling of how he would govern the state now than his stint three decades ago as governor, said Oakland Councilman Ignacio de la Fuente. But Brown's prior political notoriety was key to launching his efforts in the East Bay city of 400,000.
"There aren't too many people who can bring that kind of star power, who can bring that many connections, who can pick up the phone and call the biggest developers in San Francisco and get them involved in Oakland," said de la Fuente, who ran against Brown in 1998 but later became an ally.
His reputation helped him get in the door, but Brown's downtown redevelopment successes came from hands-on attention, according to Phil Tagami, a longtime Oakland developer.
"He created accountability," said Tagami, who built the city's $50 million Rotunda Building and helped renovate its historic Fox Theater. "He took responsibility. He basically worked on it seven days a week. It was a different approach than a lot of people who take an executive position and then delegate everything."
Tagami supported de la Fuente in the 1998 election, but said Brown quickly recruited him to help transform downtown.
"We didn't always agree, but he'd always listen," Tagami said. "And he'd be flexible. If he didn't know something but had preconceived notions, he could set those aside and use logic to determine the best path."
By Tagami's accounting, $2 billion in private capital was invested in downtown Oakland during Brown's two terms and 11,000 new people moved there, many seeking more affordable housing than was available across the bay. The efforts helped boost the city's tax base, although the economic downturn since Brown left office has contributed to vacancies and halted projects.
Republican opponent Meg Whitman has attacked Brown for increasing taxes in Oakland, but the $500 million in new taxes – to be assessed over several decades – were approved by two-thirds of city voters for education and libraries in a series of ballot measures. Whitman's attacks on Brown for Oakland's crime and schools have also been criticized as exaggerations, but they are nonetheless key areas Brown fell short of his promises.
He once said he'd make Oakland as safe as the neighboring Walnut Creek, where the median family income is $113,000. He instituted a crime database and increased the police force by 25 percent. Total crimes in 1998 were 37,182 and fell to 31,943 by his last full year in office, according to FBI statistics. But the number of murders his last year was twice that in 1998.
He led the charge to change city government to a strong-mayor structure, but failed in his effort to gain control of the school board. A majority of board members resisted his proposals and rejected his pick for superintendent. Brown ally Don Perata, then president pro tem of the state Senate, engineered a state takeover of the school system in 2004 and helped cover a $100 million deficit, while Brown himself withdrew from the larger reform effort to focus on the two successful charter schools he helped establish.
Overhauling the school system was probably the first goal Brown gave up on, said Fulbright scholar Frederick Douzet, whose book on Oakland, "The Changing Colors of Power," was first published in French and is soon to be published here.
"Overall, Oakland did better under Jerry Brown's administration until he seemed to lose interest in the city while preparing to run for state attorney," Douzet said. "(But) despite his achievements, it will be hard for Jerry Brown to use Oakland as a success story."
Geron was a bit more generous.
"I give him credit for coming in and trying to help Oakland, which has had serious problems for a long time," Geron said. "The things he could have an influence on, he did."
While Brown has evolved since he was governor three decades ago, Tagami said some of the old qualities remain – including sensibilities that led him to twice veto public employee pay hikes and to embrace Proposition 13 once it passed, even though he campaigned against it.
"There's a long history of Jerry having conflicts with organized labor and he has a history of compromise," Tagami said. "On all counts, everyone is in for some surprises. It's not going to be business as usual."
That's doesn't mean he's going to be able to win over many conservative Republican legislators, Douzet said.
"He's very liberal socially, but has become more conservative economically so he might be able to get some support among moderate Republicans," she said.
Brown's Oakland experience may tell us as much about the nature of government as about Brown's abilities, Geron said. Some troubles are beyond the reach of a single leader.
"Nobody can fix the economy or create jobs," he said. "Those are bigger problems than the governor can deal with. But maybe he'll be able to broker some deals between labor and management and maybe he'll be able to rally Republican votes in the Legislature."
Tagami agreed that the state needs more than a good governor.
"I see Jerry as a very capable reformer," the builder said. "The question is whether we the people are willing to make the sacrifices to restore underlying values of thrift and efficiency and personal accountability. We're at a very interesting crossroads."

Reducing police misconduct requires substantial institutional reform in our
nation's police departments. Yet traditional legal means for deterring
misconduct, such as civil suits under § 1983 and the exclusionary rule, have
proved inadequate to force departmental change. 42 U.S.C. § 14141 was passed
in 1994 to allow the Justice Department to sue police departments to force
institutional reform. Scholars initially hailed § 14141 as a powerful tool for
reducing unconstitutional police abuse. The Justice Department, however, has [...]

LL.M. in American Legal Studies students enter the program as members of a cohort and proceed through the curriculum together. The curriculum focuses on significant aspects of the Commercial, Business and Constitutional law of the United States.
850.0: The American Legal Environment for International Business Transactions (3 credits)
In the context of companies abroad doing business with American entities, this course focuses on the three levels of contracts in a typical transnational sales transaction. First, the course explores the international treaty governing transnational sales of goods, the U.N. Convention on the International Sale of Goods (CISG), compares it with American domestic sales law (the Uniform Commercial Code Article 2), and considers how American courts deal with CISG issues. Second, the course examines the law governing transportation issues in international sales, including allocating the risk of loss and INCOTERMS, contracts for carriage, and marine insurance issues. Third, the course surveys the use of letters of credit to facilitate the payment contract in a transnational transaction, considering the impact of common-law, Uniform Commercial Code Article 5, and the ICC's UCP 500 (and recently issued 600) standards. After coverage of these three substantive areas, the course will introduce students to the role of the United States government in regulating international business transactions, including import and export regulation matters, U.S. anti-boycott laws, OFAC sanctions, export control laws, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). The course will conclude by having students consider the expanding regulation of corporate social responsibility among multi-national business enterprises, including human rights laws and voluntary codes of corporate ethics, such as OECD's Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises.
851.0: International Civil Litigation in U.S. Federal Courts (3 credits)
This course introduces students to the special doctrines, rules, and laws that apply to litigation involving either a foreign party or parties or a foreign transaction or event when that suit is filed in a U.S. court. The provides extensive consideration to litigation involving foreign sovereign governments and their entities, focusing particular attention to the extensive web of laws that govern suing foreign sovereigns and foreign sovereign entities in American courts. Topics for examination include jurisdictional, service, discovery, and parallel proceedings issues; issues arising in Alien Tort Statue litigation; issues arising out of international commercial disputes, including international commercial arbitration and enforcement of arbitral awards; and issues presented when nations are parties to international lawsuits, including questions of sovereign immunity, exceptions to sovereign immunity, and the effect of the Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act. Particular focus is devoted to the jurisdiction and practice before the U.S. federal courts, where most international civil litigation ends up either as a matter of original filing or as a matter of removal by a non-resident defendant into the U.S. federal courts.
852.0: American Principles of Contract Drafting (3 credits)
This course introduces international lawyers to the fundamental principles by which American lawyers and judges draft, edit, and interpret contracts. Emphasis is placed on equipping lawyers trained outside of the United States with the insight into the perspective on contract drafting that American parties and lawyers will bring to drafting commercial contracts ab initio. International lawyers will also gain understanding of typical ways in which American parties and lawyers approach interpretation issues that arise sur corsa when parties disagree over the nature and extent of the parties' obligations under the contract, or whether those obligations have been fulfilled or excused. The effects on contract drafting of the American civil litigation system, as well as the rules of ethics and professionalism that bind American attorneys, will also be explored. The course uses the leading contract drafting text employed in American law schools and supplements that course book with assigned readings from a comparative contract law text that will orient lawyers trained in civil-law systems to the common-law approach characteristic of American law. Practical contract drafting, editing, and interpretation exercises will be emphasized throughout the course.
853.0: United States Employment Law and Regulation (3 credits)
This course surveys the basic topics of employment law in the non-union context. It bridges the gap between the labor law course and the full employment discrimination course, both of which students are encouraged to take as well if they are interested in practicing in the employment field. It is a good foundational course for students who seek greater understanding of the employer-employee relationship in the United States and the statutes and doctrines that apply to virtually all workers. This course covers the following topics in 6 Units that can be learned over 5, 6, or 7 weeks as program demands require: 1. Defining the Employment Relationship; 2. At-Will Employment; 3. Whistleblower, Speech, and Association Protection; 4. Anti-Discrimination Regulations; 5. Wages and Benefits; 6. Workers' Compensation and the Occupational Health and Safety Act (OSHA). An optional unit on Risk Management containing only Team Assignments is designed to give students practice in discrete areas well-adapted to skills-based transactional exercises, including Anticipating and Responding to Hostile Work Environment Harassment; Employer Investigations of Workplace Misconduct; Conducting Layoffs and Obtaining Release Agreements; Pre-Dispute Arbitration Agreements; and Liquidated Damages Clauses in Employment Contracts.
854.0: International Business Transactions II (3 credits)
A continuation of IBT I's approach in selected topics in the American context, including limits on American corporate conduct in international investment (including consideration of advanced issues under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act); the extraterritorial application of American anti-trust law; securities regulation—particularly insider trading prohibitions–in the United States; non-establishment forms for doing international business in the U.S. (e.g., agency, distributorships, technology transfer, contract manufacturing, franchising); Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in the United States (including the decision to invest, mergers and acquisitions, trends in FDI, impact of International Investment Law, and transactional aspects of FDI).
855.0: American Constitutionalism (3 credits)
A study of the unique role of the state and federal Constitutions in the shaping of the American legal system, emphasizing the separation of powers, the role of each of the three branches of government, the exercise of the eminent domain (expropriation of private property) power and the Constitutional prescriptions for just compensation, and the Constitutional limits on Congress's power to regulate business activity. Rather than use a constitutional law casebook that is dense and less accessible, the developer of this course should carefully choose a selection of readings from contemporary works on Constitutionalism representing a variety of viewpoints, including Raoul Berger, Government By Judiciary and Jack Rakove, Original Intent.
856.0: American Conflict of Laws (3 credits)
"Conflict of Laws"– known as private international law in European countries — is a phrase that is commonly used to refer to problems where the events underlying a litigation or a transaction "cross" the borders of at least two political sovereigns, whether states within the United States or nations in the international setting, in which the parties, the operative facts, the operative events, and/or proceedings in the litigation are located or occur in more than one state or nation. This course allows the foreign lawyer to explore how American courts have come to deal with conflict of laws issues. Students will explore the six major approaches used among American courts to decide choice of law questions among the states, commonwealths, and territories of the United States, as well as the conflict-of-laws codes recently enacted in Louisiana and Oregon and under consideration in Puerto Rico. This course aims to remove conflict the appearance of complexity and to assist the student to master the American approaches to the critical issues perennially presented in conflict of laws: enforcing non-forum/foreign judgments; American Constitutional constraints on choice of law; and the problem of choosing the law to be applied to particular transactions, relationships, or occurrences having contacts with more than one state in the United States or with the United States and a foreign nation.
857.0: Selected Topics In American Intellectual Property Law (Final Session, Final Semester Elective (3 credits)
In this course, lawyers trained outside of the U.S. have the opportunity to learn about the commonalities along with the distinct differences that characterize the American approach and regimes to the creation, licensing, enforcing, and challenging of intellectual property protection. The topics selected by the instructor would include the basics of federal copyright, patent, and trademark protection for various forms of intellectual property; how such rights are created, enforced, and challenged; specific issues arising under the Patent Act, the Copyright Act, and the Lanham Act; state law protection of trademarks and other forms of intellectual property (trade secrets, know-how, etc.); the American approach to "moral" rights within the copyright regime; enforcement of the TRIPS treaty within the U.S.; and how U.S. law deals with "Gray Market" goods.
858.0: Selected Topics in American Tort Law (Final Session, Final Semester Elective) (3 credits)
In this course, lawyers from other legal systems encounter the unique characteristics of America's law of torts. Topics for intensive study will be selected from distinctly American tort-law features such as the law of products liability; medical malpractice; compensatory and punitive damages; role of expert witnesses; state and federal tort reform efforts; and federal law such as the Federal Torts Claims Act and the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act.

I have a list of items and they are grouped via a certain classification depending on a column.
How can I get that particular number of total items so I can use it on a status list/kpi?
If I understood your question correctly, this article would answer your question.
Basically you enable the group footers in order to display the "Count" of each group. Then you can modify XSL to fine tune the "Count" to how ever you wish it to be.
A Status list (or KPI list) cannot count the items of one "group". However, it can count the items that are shown in a certain view. I sugest you create a new view for every value of the column that you group by.
Example: You group your task list by priority. Your priority column has the values "low", "normal", "high" and "critial". So you create the four views ("low", "normal", "high" and "critial"). After that you create your KPIs and use the new views to count the tasks with that priority

Lindsay Lohan Probation Revoked; Date Set for Possible Jail Hearing
Lindsay Lohan had her probation revoked on Wednesday, and the troubled actress will learn in court next month whether she's being sent back to jail.
The actress did not appear for the arraignment in Los Angeles on charges stemming from an incident last June, when Lohan crashed her Porsche on the Pacific Coast Highway and then allegedly lied to police.
Commissioner Jane Godfrey told Lohan's attorney Shawn Holley that her client's probation in connection with last year's stolen jewelry case was being revoked.
Godfrey scheduled a January 15 hearing to determine whether Lohan's new charges violated her probation, in which case Lohan could possibly be sent to jail for up to eight months.
At the time of her Porsche accident, Lohan originally insisted to law enforcement officials that her assistant was driving the vehicle, but eyewitness accounts claim she was in fact behind the wheel.
Across the country, Lohan still faces possible legal action for allegedly punching a woman in the face at Avenue nightclub in New York last month.
Meanwhile, the IRS has reportedly seized her bank accounts after the actress failed to pay a tax debt.
Gossip Cop will have updates.

Bluewater Sailboats
At Anchor Yacht & Ship Sales, we're proud to broker bluewater sailboats. These offshore cruising vessels include Valiant Yachts and Outbound Yachts, two of the top manufacturers in the industry. Bluewater sailboats are constructed differently than boats intended for shore or lake cruising. These boats are tougher, designed to handle the open sea.
Designers of bluewater sailboats need to take into consideration the extra weight their boats will carry. Longer voyages require more equipment, tankage, and possibly more crew members. Extra weight affects everything from hull design to keel placement. If you're intending to sail offshore, be sure you choose a boat that's designed for such use.
Anchor Yacht & Ship Sales offers multiple ways to find the bluewater sailboat you're looking for. You can use either of our search engines to seek out boats that meet your specific criteria, or if you're ready to make a purchase within the next month or two, we can compile a list of available crafts for you to browse. We're all avid sailors ourselves, and we bring our enthusiasm for boating into every single customer transaction. We want you to enjoy your new boat, as well as the process of purchasing it.
The depth of our experience means we're adept at matching boats to buyers, no matter your needs. We'd love to talk to you about your next sailboat purchase--tell us what you're looking for and how much you're thinking of spending. We'll match you up with the best boat out there! We can be reached at (401) 246-2100; you can also fax us at (401) 246-0069 or e-mail us at email@example.com.

I probably sound stupid, but what are clans?
Clans are groups of people who share a common interest in a game. They play together in a friendly atmosphere and sometimes even compete against other clans.
One example is my clan (shameless plug) Warrior Nation, we are one of the larger clans, but still friendly.

The "Summer Shootout" benefiting Isaac's Fight was blessed with groundswell in July! Freesurfers and participants could hardly fathom the unusual albeit ideal wave conditions. A large number of supporters came out, and all competitors were stoked to surf this contest for a cause! After contest costs, $1,560 was raised for Isaac's family. Contest t-shirts are still available for purchase at Southern Spears Surf Shop; the proceeds will also go to Isaac's mother, Natalie DeHerrera. Natalie told one source: "I have been more than blessed from all of you and am actually doing well financially, now. God's definitely watching over me in every aspect."
Outlaw Johnny Surfboards, the host of the event, would like to express a heartfelt "thank you" to those who reached in their pockets, donated prizes and money, and volunteered their time. The community really chipped in, assembling a united effort. For example, sponsor Billy Hill made sure to post the event flyer on his "Happenings" page prior to his hospital arrival. Legendary local surfboard shaper, Bob Martin, donated a custom longboard. Damien McDonald, owner of Southern Spears Surf Shop, paid and secured permits. The examples of aid from the community are boundless. They are almost as vast as the contestants' smiles after surfing to help a family in need. Congratulations to all the contestants for putting on great performances!

Leatherheads Movie Reviews
Release Date: Apr 04, 2008
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Leatherheads
Stupidity is the only word I can think of that can adequately describe this movie. It is a predictable, unfunny, cliche-ridden mess. Renee Zellweger is annoying. George Clooney is over rated as an actor and film maker. These performances were phoned in. You\'ll need a bowl full of dumb down pills to get through this one.

Positive Atheism's Big List of
George Carlin

Home to Positive Atheism
George Carlin (1937–2008)
I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a guy nailed to two pieces of wood.
I credit that eight years of grammar school with nourishing me in a direction where I could trust myself and trust my instincts. They gave me the tools to reject my faith. They taught me to question and think for myself and to believe in my instincts to such an extent that I just said, "This is a wonderful fairy tale they have going here, but it's not for me."
If churches want to play the game of politics, let them pay admission like everyone else.
Religion: If this [word] offends you, welcome to the world of sane and realistic critical thought. More harm has been done to the collective human psyche by religion than by all the fucking and cocksucking since the dawn of time. By the way, many religious people (including the ordained) fuck and suck each other's cocks all the time.
Instead of school busing and prayer in schools, which are both controversial, why not a joint solution? Prayer in buses. Just drive these kids around all day and let them pray their fuckn' empty little heads off.
I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death.
We created god in our own image and likeness!
I finally accepted Jesus -- not as my personal savior, but as a man I intend to borrow money from.
I've begun worshipping the Sun for a number of reasons. First of all, unlike some other gods I could mention, I can see the Sun. It's there for me every day. And the things it brings me are quite apparent all the time: heat, light, food, a lovely day. There's no mystery, no one asks for money, I don't have to dress up, and there's no boring pageantry. And interestingly enough, I have found that the prayers I offer to the sun and the prayers I formerly offered to God are all answered at about the same 50-percent rate.
Here's another question I've been pondering -- what is all this shit about angels? Have you heard this? Three out of four people belive in angels. Are you fucking stupid? Has everybody lost their mind? You know what I think it is? I think it's a massive, collective, psychotic chemical flashback for all the drugs smoked, swallowed, shot, and absorbed rectally by all Americans from 1960 to 1990. Thirty years of street drugs will get you some fucking angels, my friend!
What about Goblins, huh? Doesn't anybody belive in Goblins? You never hear about this. Except on Halloween and then it's all negative shit. And what about Zombies? You never hear from Zombies! That's the trouble with Zombies, they're unreliable! I say if you're going to go for the Angel bullshit you might as well go for the Zombie package as well.
I don't have any beliefs or allegiances. I don't believe in this country, I don't believe in religion, or a god, and I don't believe in all these man-made institutional ideas.
I have as much authority as the Pope, I just don't have as many people who believe it.
This is a little prayer dedicated to the separation of church and state. I guess if they are going to force those kids to pray in schools they might as well have a nice prayer like this: Our Father who art in heaven, and to the republic for which it stands, thy kingdom come, one nation indivisible as in heaven, give us this day as we forgive those who so proudly we hail. Crown thy good into temptation but deliver us from the twilight's last gleaming. Amen and Awomen.
The two big mistakes were the belief in a sky god -- that there's a man in the sky with 10 things he doesn't want you to do and you'll burn for a long time if you do them -- and private property, which I think is at the core of our failure as a species. That's the source of my indignations, my dissatisfactions, however it comes out on the stage. I feel betrayed by the people I'm part of, these creatures, these magnificent creatures.
We use up words like "spiritual" so fast in this culture. Twenty years ago "spiritual" had a distinct meaning. But now there's a lot of jack-off thinkers who just love to talk about the spiritual. And there is a lot of bogus -- is "bogosity" a word? It should be -- a lot of bogosity in these spiritual seekers. So you have to find another way to express it. I just call it "how I fit."
In the Bullshit Department, a businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman. 'Cause I gotta tell you the truth, folks. When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims: religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told.
You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons; first of all, I think he's a good actor. Okay. To me, that counts. Second; he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. Doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with. For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cock-sucker out with one visit.
If this is the best God can do, I'm not impressed.
I think it's the duty of the comedian to find out where
the line is drawn and cross it deliberately.

No. 5 Princeton Travels To No. 9/11 North Carolina
The frustration of a day when Princeton outshot North Carolina 43-22. The frustration of a day when Princeton forced almost as many turnovers (19) as it allowed shots. The frustration of day when Princeton erased two-goal deficits multiple times.
And, ultimately, the frustration of a day when the Tigers lost, 9-8, to the Tar Heels, as part of the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic.
For the rematch, M&T Bank Stadium isn't even the halfway point of the trip.
The distance traveled to the game isn't the only thing different for Princeton this time around. Of the 23 players who got into the game for Princeton against North Carolina a year ago, only nine figure to do so this time around.
Princeton's rebuilding year has gotten off to a flying start, as the Tigers find themselves 3-0 and ranked fifth in both the USILA coaches' poll and Nike/Inside Lacrosse media poll. The Tigers have already won at both Hofstra and Johns Hopkins, and Princeton comes into the game after a short turnaround following the home opening 14-11 win over Villanova Tuesday night.
UNC, ranked ninth and 11th, is 2-2, with an opening 12-6 win over Air Force followed by three consecutive one-goal games, with a loss to UMass, a win over Fairfield and most recently an overtime loss to Notre Dame.
UNC hasn't played since last Saturday.
* * *
Chris Bates is 0-3 against North Carolina in his three years as head coach of the Tigers. He's also 29-16 against everyone else and 99-89 overall, leaving him obviously one win away from the 100th of his career.
Bates won 70 games as the head coach of Drexel before coming to Princeton.
Oh, and speaking of Chris Bates, he has a master's degree from the University of North Carolina.
* * *
Princeton and UNC meet for the 15th time, with the series tied 7-7. Of the previous 14 meetings, seven have been one-goal games - including two of the three that Chris Bates has coached - and two others have been two-goal games.
The teams have met in Chapel Hill and Princeton, as well as on neutral fields in Norfolk, Piscataway, Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The neutral site game in Philadelphia was in the 1992 NCAA semifinals, won by Princeton 16-14 on a 100-degree day at Franklin Field. The Tigers then won the first of their six NCAA championships by defeating Syracuse 10-9 when Andy Moe scored after picking up a ground ball off the face-off for the second overtime.
* * *
The Princeton-North Carolina series is actually in three separate parts, with two meetings in the 1980s, nine meetings between 1992 and 1999 and then games each of the last three years.
* * *
Princeton is 19-1 when scoring at least 10 goals since Chris Bates became the head coach. The only loss was the 12-11 defeat at Fetzer Field to UNC two years ago.
Princeton, under Bates, is 10-17 when scoring fewer than 10 goals.
* * *
Princeton is averaging 11.7 goals per game through three games. Were that to hold up for the full season, it would be the most by a Princeton team since the 2002 team averaged 12.1 goals per game.
* * *
Princeton defeated Johns Hopkins despite winning only 7 of 22 face-offs. Princeton defeated Villanova despite winning only 15 of 21 face-offs in the first three quarters.
Jeff Froccaro sparked the fourth quarter rally against Villanova by winning 5 of 7 face-offs. Froccaro is 10 for 16 on face-offs this season.
* * *
Princeton has outscored its three opponents by a combined 12-3 in the fourth quarter.
Princeton trailed Villanova 10-7 late in the third before scoring seven of the final eight goals in the game.
* * *
Ryan Ambler has 10 points in his first three games. He's the first Princeton player since, well, Tom Schreiber two years ago to do so.
Kevin Lowe had 11 points in his first three games of his freshman year (1991) and is the only Princeton player with more than 10 in his first three games freshman year. Lowe also holds the record for points by a Princeton freshman with 55.
* * *
Princeton's second midfield unit had its first two points of the season when Hunter deButts had a goal and Will Rotatori had an assist against Villanova. Shortstick defensive midfielder Chris White also has one goal, the final one against Hopkins.
Other than those points, the starting attack and first midfield have all of Princeton's other points through three games, with a combined 33 goals and 19 assists.
* * *
Matt O'Connor made six saves in his first start, 11 saves in his second and 12 in his third.
O'Connor has a .488 save percentage in the first three quarters of his first three games and a .700 save percentage in the fourth quarters of his first three games.
* * *
Princeton starts four freshmen, one each on attack (Ryan Ambler), midfield (Jake Froccaro), defense (Mark Strabo) and at goalie (Matt O'Connor).
Princeton starts four freshmen, two sophomores, three juniors and one senior.
* * *
Rob Castelo and Forest Sonnenfeldt will both miss the entire 2013 season due to injuries.
Castelo tore his ACL before the start of practice, while Sonnenfeldt had ankle surgery. Castelo started every game on defense last year, while Sonnenfeldt had 17 goals and six assists.
Castelo had his second major knee injury in three years. He also tore multiple ligaments in the game at Johns Hopkins two years ago.
* * *
The Princeton men's lacrosse team spent a week in Costa Rica last June. The Tigers played one game against the Costa Rican national team, gave clinics for the Costa Ricans and for the local youth and worked on various service projects, including refurbishing a community center.
Princeton traveled to Spain and Ireland in 2008 and Japan in 2004.

The University of Iowa (3-0) wrestling team faces Iowa State (5-0) on Sunday in the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series. The dual begins at 2 p.m. (CT) inside Hilton Coliseum (7,914). Admission is $20 for adults and $10 for youth (high school age and younger).
Dan Gable TRAVELING TROPHY
The Iowa-Iowa State wrestling rivalry introduced the Dan Gable Traveling Trophy in 2010. In a joint collaboration, the schools announced the annual dual would be wrestled for a trophy representing Iowa State's former two-time NCAA Champion and Iowa's 15-time NCAA championship coach. Iowa has won each meetings since the trophy's inception, including a 22-13 win in 2010, a 27-9 win in Ames in 2011, and winning in Iowa City, 32-3, in 2012.
|#4 Iowa at #15 Iowa State

|Ames, Iowa | Hiilton Coliseum

|Live Coverage
|TrackWrestling | Twitter Game Updates
Iowa leads the all-time series 61-16-2, and has won the last nine meetings. The Hawkeyes own a 24-11-1 advantage in Ames. Iowa State's last win in the series was 19-16 on Dec. 5, 2004. Iowa has won the last four meetings in Ames, and has not lost to Iowa State on the road since Dec. 7, 2003 (21-13). Prior to that Iowa State win, the Hawkeyes had won 30 in a row in the series. The Hawkeyes have won 10 straight in the series on two occasions. Iowa won 30 in a row from 1987-2002, and 10 straight from 1981-86. A win on Sunday would run Iowa's active win streak to 10.
Iowa's probable lineup owns a 17-9 individual record against Iowa State. Tony Ramos (3-0), Derek St. John (3-0) and Bobby Telford (2-0) are all perfect against the Cyclones. Michael Kelly and Nick Moore are both 2-1 all-time against Iowa State, and Mike Evans is 1-1. Ethen Lofthouse started 0-3 against Iowa State, but has since won three in a row to even his record. Tomas Lira is 1-3 all-time against the Cyclones. Cory Clark, Josh Dziewa, Kris Klapprodt and Terrance Jean-Jacques are making their first appearances against Iowa State.
The Cy-Hawk Series is in its 10th season in 2013-14, being sponsored for the third time by Iowa Corn. Iowa State currently leads the series, 6-5, after finishing ahead of Iowa in both men's and women's cross country at NCAA Regionals last week. The Cyclones also registered a 3-1 win in volleyball earlier this fall. Iowa has posted victories in women's soccer (3-0) and football (27-21). The Hawkeyes' win in women's soccer was worth two points, while Iowa was rewarded with three points for its win in football. Iowa owns an 8-1 lead in the Cy-Hawk Series duals. The Cyclones won the first meeting in 2004, while Iowa has won the last eight. (Iowa has won nine straight overall, including a meeting at the National Duals.)

Through the water, from the sky
On the wind or in our minds
What is there for me to do
Find my way back home to you
Before the autumn air turn black
Before the angry men attack
Together when the sky falls through
A flash of red, I'll fuse with you
Fuse with you, I'm dying too
Running to your side
Now it's here, the pain, the fear
The fall have all arrived
A kiss goodbye
In the city, unprepared
Run and hide, stand and stare
Building's crumble in my head
Wave a flag, raise the dead
Money fuels the fires of war
Only love worth dying for
Together when the sky falls through
A flash of red, I'll fuse with you
We're all the same, running from the flame
We're on our way, don't you feel it
The air will ring, the end of everything
We're on our way, don't you feel it
We're all the same, don't they feel it
We're on our way

Soda Water for interstitial cystitis? How do you make it?
I've read here on the threads that soda water helps ease the pain of IC. How do you make it? Is it baking soda, if so what are the measurements of the ingredients? Can anything else help? I think that I may have IC. I was having problems a while back, that cleared. UTI treated with meds, another uninalysis with no blood or infection, but lots of pain. It finally seemed to be clearing. Then my doctor told me to start a vitamin regimine with vit C 1000 mg. I had already been taking vitamins, just not the C. Now it seems like my bladder pain is back. I don't have any burning just pain, like cramps, and the urge to urinate. I had another urinalysis done yesterday but don't have the results yet. If not an infection, I guess i will have to go see the urologist. God, I was hoping I wouldn't have to do that. I worry that it might be cancer but there has not been any blood in the urinalysis tests, and I have had several. Should I be worried about that? Oh yes, and how do you make the soda water?

This week, guest writer Jon Shapiro, Producer of the U2 3D movie (along with his brother, Peter Shapiro, John Modell and Director Catherine Owens) shares thoughts on the making of the groundbreaking movie, working with U2 and experiencing the movie in all its digital 3D glory– this time at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's new Foster Theater.
Through January 2, 2010, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is showing a film unlike any you've ever experienced (unless of course you've seen U2 3D before). I traveled to Cleveland to unveil it last month and was absolutely blown away by the technology and viewing experience in the Museum's incredible new Foster Theater.
The first-ever live-action digital 3-D film, U2 3D places viewers within the pulsing energy of a U2 stadium concert. Combining innovative digital 3-D imagery and multi-channel surround sound with the excitement of a live U2 concert – shot in South America during the final leg of their "Vertigo" tour – it creates an immersive theatrical experience unlike any 3-D or concert film that has come before. Ushering in a new dimension of filmmaking, U2 3D takes viewers on an extraordinary journey they ...
On Monday night we dedicated the new state-of the art Foster Theater at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It is one of the most technologically advanced theaters in the country and it was made possible by the generous support of Gregg and Madelyn Foster. Designed by Oscar-winning architect Jeff Cooper, it features Dolby 3D, remote control video cameras, an incredible sound system and the capability to stream events and video conference.
At the dedication we recognized the Fosters for their support—and screened the U2 3D concert film. It was a fantastic event attended by many board members, and local luminaries—including Cleveland Cavaliers players and front office. They were in town because the season opener was the next night against the Lakers.
The theater is an important component of a major initiative to upgrade the Museum and construct and operate the Rock and Roll
Hall of Fame's Library and Archives. The theater hosts the Museum's educational and public programs serving hundreds of thousands of students and visitors each year. The renovation prepares the Museum for live-streaming content to enhance its award-winning distance ...

The back-and-forth scoring started in the 13th minute with all-conference performer Arthur Ivo netted his seventh goal of the season, sliding a shot from the right side past Marshall goalkeeper Daniel Withrow.
Five minutes later, Marshall's Tom Jackson found the equalizer pushing home a rebound just in front of goal off of a Devin Perkins attempt.

"Really, it comes down to Marshall," said SMU head coach Tim McClements. "They really did a great job against us. They're very disruptive and they fight so hard. When they got the goal, we thought we were playing very well in the first half. We score a nice goal, then we concede. Then we come back out in the second half and give up another goal. Credit to Marshall, they kept battling all the way through. We were very fortunate that we were able to get the equalizer, and then after that we kind of got on a roll. But just like they always do, they battled back and they're right in it all the way to the end. It was very difficult for us. You think when you score four goals you'd be able to rest some players, but it was a nail-biter the whole time."
Marshall would pull a goal back in the 79th minute, but could not find another.
SMU advances to face No. 1 seed South Carolina at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 11, in the first semifinal match. That match can be viewed live on the C-USA Digital Network.

Six minutes later, Memphis tied the match when Lewis Ellis bent a free kick from 20 yards out into the upper left 90.
UCF wasted little time regaining the lead, scoring in the 21st minute when Malcolm Reed punched home the rebound from a Tulloch shot. The lead would be erased four minutes before the half on a converted penalty kick by Memphis' Thomas Shannon after a UCF hand ball in the box.
Each side would strike once in the second half.
Tulloch netted his second goal in the 62nd minute of play, heading in a cross from Spencer Scott to give the Knights a 3-2 lead.
Memphis, who owned a 24-7 shot advantage during the match, leveled the score at three in the 89th minute as Chandler Gagnon headed home a Jordan Johnson service.
Tulloch would record the second hat trick in as many C-USA Championship matches in the 95th minute when an attempted clearance fell to his left foot and he curled it past the Memphis goalkeeper for the winner.
"It was very emotional," said UCF head coach Bryan Cunningham. "We were pretty fortunate. We have a pretty experienced team. We were here a year ago and this group was here as freshmen. You never want to give up the tying goal with less than a minute to go, but the players regrouped before we went back out. When you give up a goal like that you get a little bit worried, but I give my guys credit. They battled and were able to get one chance and one goal."
UCF advances to the second semifinal to face No. 2 UAB Friday at 7:30 p.m. The match will be shown on the C-USA Digital Network.
