This tutorial covers how to convert your site's home page to the three-item slider template. There are three basic steps.
- Create slides--three to start, but more is good, too.
- Add slides to the queue.
- Edit the home page to apply the Home Page Slider template.
The thing to keep in mind is that you manage the content somewhat abstractly—as opposed to the direct way you manage a page. That is, you set up the underlying content items and the resources associated with each, then the slider is automatically produced on the home page of your site. You can easily manage which slides appear, and in what order.
Before we cover the steps, lets think about usage first, and consider best practice.
Slider Usage: Best Practice
In general, the best practice is to use the slider to hook visitors into key content for your site. Think about what matters to the general visitor. High quality photography, succinct copy, and linking each slide to local content are elements of a good use case. A really good example usage (at the time of this writing) is the Lasseter Clare Lab:
There, the site owners took the time to make sure that the photo itself is high-quality, and the focus of each slide is on the left-hand side of the photo. An appropriate amount of copy—two sentences—was used. Also, each slide links to a local page within the site. It is technically possible to create a slide without a link, or even link to an external site, but that type of usage is rare. As a general rule of thumb, use the slider to highlight your own content.
Now, on to the steps to set this up.
Create Slides
Each slide consists of:
- A title (a few words)
- An image. It should be at least 664 pixels wide by 398 pixels tall, but if you use one a bit larger, you'll have some ability to adjust the position of the image once the slide is showing on the home page. See the Slide Management section for more info.
- Text and a URL for the slide link
- Teaser text (a sentence or two) to describe the slide's topic
You will need exactly three sets of the above resources. You can set up your slider with fewer than three slides, but the sidecar listing will look awkward with less than three. Also, if you create more than three slides, you can easily manage which slides appear (more on that later).
You're logged in to your Drupal site, right? Good. Here's how to create a single slide:
- Click the Content link in the administrative menu.
- Click the Add content button.
- Click the Front Slide link.
- Enter the slide Title.
- Click the Select media link. You can upload an image or use one of the Library tabs to locate and select an image that has already been uploaded. To complete this step, click the Submit button.
- Enter a URL in the Link field. This can be the alias portion of a URL (working-with-front-slides) or a full URL (http://stage.pdx.edu/website-training/working-with-front-slides).
- Enter the Link Text. The "Read More" default cries out for a more creative option.
- Enter the Text. This should be no more than a couple of sentences.
- Click the Save button.
The image below shows a sample slide creation form filled out:
Repeat these steps until you have created three or more slides. Make a mental note of each slide title; you will use the info when adding slides to the slider queue.
Add Slides to the Queue
Navigate to the View screen for one of your newly created slides. Notice the "Edit Slide Order" text in the upper left corner? This is actually a link and it appears in this location on all slides' View screen. This means you can be viewing any slide to get to the screen where you add slides to the queue.
- Click the Edit Slide Order link.
- Set your cursor in the field that reads "Enter the title of a node to add it to the queue". (The word "node" simply refers to a piece of content, in this case a slide.)
- Start typing the title of one of the slides. When a match appears, click to select it.
- Click the Add content button.
- Repeat steps 2 through 4 until three slides are listed.
- [optional] Consider the slide order. The top slide will appear first as the slider widget rotates on the home page. The second one appears next, and the third appears last. To adjust the order, you have three options:
- Click a plus symbol next to a slide title and drag-and-drop the slide into a different position.
- Click the Reverse button to reverse the order of the slides.
- Click the Shuffle button to randomly order the slides. Repeat until the slides are in the desired order.
- Click the Save button.
Here's what the queue looks like when it's full:
Note: The queue cannot display more than three slides at a time. It's always handy to have additional slides at the ready, though, so that you can switch them out from time to time.
Apply the Home Page Slider Template
This step is super easy. And you usually only have to do it once.
- Navigate to your site's home page and click the Edit tab.
- Click the Template Settings link.
- Click the Home Page Slider page layout template thumbnail.
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Save button.
The branding image that used to appear on the home page is replaced with the slider, but notice that the rest of the home page content stays in place.
Slide Management
While viewing your new home page, you should notice two controls overlaying the image area of the slider: an image positioning icon and the Edit Slide Order link mentioned above.
Using these controls, you can manage the slider on a day-to-day basis.
Image Positioning
Earlier we touched on the fact that you could use images larger than 664 x 398 pixels for your slides. If you did use a larger image and want to adjust its position, here's how:
- Click the thumbnail in the slide sidecar to stop the image rotation.
- Click the image positioning icon.
With the image positioning icon open, a small set of tools allow you to make the following types of adjustments:
- Click anywhere on the image and drag the picture around to adjust its position in the slide frame.
- Zoom In and Zoom Out tools allow small changes to the size of the image, but you can't zoom in to make the image larger than 100% of its original size.
- A one-touch 'Max. Zoom' tool sets the zoom to 100%.
When you are are happy with the positioning changes you've made, click the Save Changes tool. And, of course, there's a Cancel tool that closes the image positioning tools without saving any changes.
Editing Slide Order
Let's say that you have created a new slide and are looking at your site home page, wondering how to get that new slide to appear in the slider.
- Click the Edit Slide Order link.
- Consider the slide order. The slide in the bottom position is going to get booted out of the queue when you add the new one, so make sure that the slide you want to replace is in the bottom position. If not, click the plus symbol next to the slide that needs to move, drag it to the bottom position and click the Save button.
- Set your cursor in the field that reads "Enter the title of a node to add it to the queue".
- Start typing the title of one of the slides. When a match appears, click to select it.
- Click the Add content button.
- Click the Save button.

What better way to escape the winter chill than a bowl of homemade soup? Making soup at home instead of buying a condensed store-bought version is a great way to cut down on fat, sodium and artificial flavors. This "creamy" soup is a healthier take of the dairy-loaded classic, and was created by Chef Adrian Ashby.
What You'll Need:
- 2 chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons of Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 lb. potatoes
- 1 lb. bag frozen corn
- 1 Spanish onion
- 2 tablespoons of garlic, minced
- 8 cups water
- 8 oz. of chicken bouillon base
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Salt & Pepper, to taste
- A large pot with lid
- A blender
1. Bake the chicken breasts rubbed with Old Bay Seasoning in your oven at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, (do not cover).
2.Peel the potatoes and dice them into medium sized cubes; place the cubed potatoes in a bowl and add cold water until potatoes are covered.
3. Heat 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and saute the diced onion until it becomes clear (about 5 minutes). Add the minced garlic and saute the ingredients for another 3 minutes.
4. Next, add water, the chicken bouillon base and salt to taste. Boil, then lower to a simmer for about 20 minutes.
5. Add potatoes and frozen corn to the boiling broth, cover with lid and cook for another 15 minutes
6. Once the corn and potatoes reach the desired softness, use an immersion blender, blender, or food processor to puree your soup.
7. Take out chicken (make sure it's not too hot), and pull chicken breasts apart. Add the pulled chicken to soup and simmer for another 10 minutes.
Your friends and family will love this super hearty and flavorful soup that's much better for you than high-fat, high-salt store brought brands.

The power forward racked up his 38 points with 16-of-22 shooting, including 12 rebounds and three blocked attempts in 37 minutes. While a performance like that would usually prove to be a player's stand-out performance of the season, for Davis is was just another day at the office in a season in which he has recorded at least 30 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks five times. Those figures have only been reached on seven occasions this season, with Davis responsible for five of them.
Davis has been one of the most prolific scorers in the league, ranking third in the scoring charts after shooting 57.9 per cent from the field, 11th in the rebound charts, first in blocks and, most impressively, leading the league in player efficiency rating by a huge margin. The facts are that if Davis continues as he has been, he'll finish the year with the single highest PER in the history of the NBA.
Davis isn't one to go looking for shots or create late-game takeovers, he showed he is capable of playing a massive role in the latter stages of a game with his performance against the Thunder, scoring 11 points in the fourth quarter. Following Russell Westbrook's potential match-winning three with 34 seconds remaining, it was Davis stole the headlines again with a game winning score in the dying moments to give the Pelicans a big win and spring a surprise for a lot of punters betting with the likes of Betfair on a Thunder victory.
Despite Davis' incredible season, though, there's still a chance his team's disappointing record will rule him out from serious MVP consideration at the end of the season awards.]]>
How to bet on horses online?
The basic issue that may prevent a person about betting on the horses online is that, he cannot meet the horses personally. This may be taken as one of the most concerning issues. Modern day gamblers love to think a little different than the orthodox gamblers. That is why a look on the physique of the horse does not matter to them at all. There are several horse racing sportsbooks, which include all the details of the horses. One can easily get a clear idea about the animals through these sportsbooks.
Once the player gets the idea about the horses, it should not be an issue to decide about choosing the best one to set a bet.
What is the best time for betting on horses?
There is no such time, which can be coined as the best time for betting because the winner will always win regardless of the odds. However, it is considered that summer is the best season to bet on the horses. It is not that the animals stay in the best shape at that time but most of the famed players and racers would also be available at that time. A good gambler would always try to compete with many others of his kind.
Is the online betting safe?
A site that provides details of the racing and most importantly let the player take a look on the statistics after registration should be a good one. If the player is registered with such a site, there should not be an issue with it. These sites would provide all the data regarding the sportsbook US players so that one can also choose the jokey for the horses.
The process of online or video betting is one of the safest modes because of its easy access to all kinds of data and statistics. If there is any kind of trouble, an expert player can sniff it before the problem deepens.]]>
According to ESPN, Boston Celtics coach was asked two questions 1) whether the team would look similar when it returned to Boston later this month and 2) whether it should look the same after the deadline.
Stevens answered very smartly. He said: "Those are hard questions to answer. I don't know either way," adding that, "At the end of the day, that's why I'm the coach and somebody else is doing that. And that's probably good. But I think what I'm going to do is focus on the guys we have and, if that changes, then I'll focus on whoever else is here."
The Boston Celtics have already made 2 in-season trades that forced Stevens to manage alternations while the Celtics went 2-15 in January. While the trade rumors haven't been too huge of a disruption so far, Stevens knows that they can be this time of year.
If you think you will bet on Boston Celtics in this season, you have some betting offer from different betting sites. Find out Bet365 offer code to make free bets and get benefited.]]>
With luxury tax penalties, salary cap restrictions as well as a strong and deep NBA Draft on the cards - moving forward it will be interesting to see whether or not the playing field levels somewhat.
Worth the Risk?
For now, unless a spread is being offered betting on the underdogs is still pretty bleak. Granted there have been some upsets and a few surprises - the biggest of which would definitely have to be awarded to Portland's absolutely mercurial winning streak.
Apart from a few exceptions however, the 'haves' are certainly trumping the 'have-nots' in almost all regards. Considering beating the odds in the NBA is never an easy prospect to begin with, the consistent form of many teams this season makes it even less appealing to go against the grain.
Of course, that just means that there are normally better odds up for grabs for those who actually wish to take a risk or two. Once the smoke clears and the new rules start to show their true colors it may shake the game up a little from a betting perspective, but until then it really is business as usual in the NBA.
For bettors, it is worth keeping an eye on the draft as well as how teams gear up to cope with all the changes. Until the finals roll around, it will be interesting to see if there are any major upsets or if predictability wins out!]]>
The summer season sees punters placing wagers on the draft, the playoff, finals and more. There are a whole slew of bets to be made every season. Placing a wager on one or more of the thirty franchised teams offers us a huge selection from east coast to west coast, but of course this is more fun if we simply bet on the team we support. It makes the game so much more exciting when we know we have money on it.
For the purpose of this particular article, we take a look at the summer forecast for Miami Heat. They are the defending NBA Champions, and if you are going to place a bet on NBA these guys might win you some money. Greg Ogden has chosen this team in which to make a comeback, and the team has announced its 2013-14 pre-season schedule.
This is an eight game schedule, with three games taking place on home grounds at the American Airlines Arena. We all know about home advantage, so, take note of this, and the season kicks off against Atlanta Hawks in Miami on the 7th October, 2013. Miami Heat will also be hosting a re-match at home, of last years' final against the San Antonio Spurs.
Studies of sports betting market efficiency have shown to be similar to that of investing in financial markets. Although we don't want to get too scientific about this, the point is that sports betting is a unique way to make a wager. The payoff is known in advance after calculating wager in relationship to odds, and all we have to do to get an outcome is wait for the game to play.
Over/under wagers are probably the most popular wagers made, this is a bet place that is lost or won according to the sum of both team scores, and is simple to play. For example, a NBA match between San Antonio Spurs and Miami Heat may be set at a score of 195 (these are high scoring teams). The punter places an over bet and is paid if a combined score of 196 or more is reached. In an under bet this score should be 194 and under. If the combined score comes in at 195, this is considered a tie, and the wager is returned to the punter.
This wager is basically point spread betting where placing a wager on an underdog could also land a very big win. Taking research from patterns of betting, it has been proven that these wagers actually win 50% of the time. When a punter uses a point spread bet methodology, he is usually not interested which team wins, only the final score. However fans of the NBA generally wager only on their favourite team, so, an average gambler does this for fun, and not necessarily profit.]]>
The signing of the seven-time All-Star prompted some discussion in the betfair forums, ending Howard's dismal spell with the LA Lakers, and giving the 27-year old the chance to rediscover his best form with a team that really wants him.
After a season in which Harden established himself as a star, racking up an average of 25.9 points, 5.8 assists, 4.9 rebounds and 1.8 steals in 38.3 minutes per game, there had been some worry as to the impact adding another superstar to the roster would have on Harden.
But the 23-year old has insisted he is excited about the prospect of playing alongside Howard this season, admitting he feels the signing has given the Rockets a real chance of winning the championship this year.
"We did some good things last year, and I think adding Dwight really makes us contenders for a title. I know it will take a lot of hard work, but we have a lot to work with," admitted the 2013 All Star.
Now while there is the possibility that Howard may take away some of Harden's touches, that could help the youngster's efficiency. Harden was extremely productive last season, but he only shot 43.8 percent from the floor and 36.8 percent from three.
A lot of that inefficiency was because Harden was often left to do all the donkey work in the lead up to making a shot, but Howard's presence should lessen Harden's workload.]]>
The 6ft 8in forward averaged 16.1 points and 8.1 rebounds for the University of Nevada last season, catching the eye of every franchise in the NBA before being chosen by the Cavaliers ahead of the hotly-tipped Nerlens Noel and Alex Len.
The Cavs finished with a 24-58 record at the end of a dismal campaign last season to earn the first pick. The team surprised fans who bet on NHL with their decision to throw the eggs in Bennett's basket.
"I'm just as surprised as everybody else," Bennett. "I heard everything was up for grabs. But I'm just real happy, glad that I have this opportunity, and I just got to thank God for everything."
"It's just crazy. Made history. It's just like a long-time dream that I had since I first started playing basketball."
Elsewhere in the draft, Orlando Magic opted for Indiana guard, Victor Oladipo, with the second overall pick while the Washington Wizards chose forward, Otto Porter, from Georgetown University with their third overall pick.
The Charlotte Bobcats selected giant Indiana centre, Cody Zeller, who stands 7ft and weighs 240lbs, with the No 4 pick in the draft.
The Phoenix Suns eventually picked up the Ukrainian, Len, after the 7ft 1in centre averaged 11.9 points and 7.8 rebounds last season at Maryland to alert a number of NBA teams to his ability and convince the Suns to take him to Arizona.
The New Orleans Pelicans claimed Nerlens Noel, a favourite with NBA betting pundits prior to the draft, with the sixth pick, with the Sacramento Kings going for Kansas shooting guard, Ben McLemore.
The Detroit Pistons picked Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Michigan point guard, Trey Burke. The 10th pick saw the Portland Trail Blazers snap up 6ft 4in guard, CJ McCollum, from Lehigh to round off the top-10 of a fascinating draft.]]>
Such a surge in popularity means that betting opportunities are available at almost every online sports book and casino like Unibet across the world. From a game's top scorer to the result of a match, basketball betting is now big business for both punters and bookies.
With so many options available to you as a punter there are a number of ways for you to make a healthy profit from basketball betting. One of the best ways to improve your overall ability is to take on the role of the bookie. Indeed, in order to beat the enemy you must become the enemy and learn how they think, act and operate.
Predicting your own odds before each game is a great way to improve your basketball betting prowess. Choose a selection of teams, do your own research and then set fictional odds for each game before it starts. Once you've done this you'll be able to compare them with the actual odds offered by the major sportsbooks and ascertain whether or not your knowledge is on point. Indeed, by having the ability to correctly predict the market you'll be more proactive when it comes to spotting value bets as they occur.
Another tip for basketball betting success is to take advantage of in-game betting. Because a game of basketball is divided into four quarters there are a number of opportunities to place bets during the game. In-game betting is great because you'll often find more value then pre-game betting simply because the bookmakers are calculating odds quickly. This leaves them vulnerable to mistakes and if you're able to capitalise on them before they are corrected you can find yourself making a lot of money very quickly.
Becoming a basketball betting balla requires a combination of knowledge, skill and timing. If you can learn all there is to know about the game and seize opportunities as they arise then you'll find the game offers a wealth of opportunities to make money.]]>
With the help of few basketball betting strategies, a third person can judge which team can go for international matches. There was a betting on Eurovision where the opponent suffered a huge loss. For gaining the professional betting position in basketball, one must win almost 97% to 100% of the bets. Number of victories for every single team has to be brought into account while betting.
A particular team has to be at the top in the list in terms of score. Also other teams taking part in the team has to be followed. If a team defeats another team whom none had defeated, it is a matter of concern. It means that the winning team is really prepared to play high level matches. The performances of individual players should also be seen. It can be observed from a bet that which player is doing well in all the matches.
Also it can be checked whether that player in consistent in his performance or comes up with abnormal change in skill. It must be remembered that it is not a wise act to bet in all the matches. There are many matches where profit is very meager, but the risk percentage is too high. This strategy also helps in leading a team to achieve professional betting status.
This is just a foolish job to run for a small sum of money. As seen in the betting on basketball, the opponent ran for money and suffered. Though betting becomes addictive at times, still it must be seen that a team does not participates in random betting. These things only raise the tensions in teams with least profit. Betting strategies should be utilized very wisely otherwise chances of losing is quite high.]]>
Nevertheless, I have taken a keen interest in basketball over the years. There's no getting away from the fact that football (soccer, to you Yanks), is my main love, but sport in general is the thing that makes me tick and basketball has always intrigued me. Usually, I'll stick to the US game, and this means that I have been able to watch some of the greats over recent times.
Following on from the above, it should be mentioned that not everyone will agree with my list. I'd say it contains three of the biggest legends the NBA has ever seen - but bear in mind that this is being written from across the pond, i.e. a UK perspective.
Shaquille O'Neal
My first memories of O'Neal happen to be from a life-size poster. It stretched from floor to ceiling and had pictures on all of the top players from the era, with O'Neal absolutely dwarfing all of the other players. If that didn't make an impression, his performances on the court certainly did with the player using his size to dominate the sport. He made a total of 15 All-Star teams and after becoming something of a legend for the Lakers and Miami in particular, O'Neal must surely be on anyone's top three list.
Michael Jordan
If O'Neal doesn't make your list, then I'm more than certain that Michael Jordan will. Many dub him as the greatest ever man to don the basketball court, with Jordan breaking records and being the general face of the sport. Not only was he a master of the court, but he was arguably one of the first men in professional sport who started to create a commercial image. Such an image came off some incredible scoring statistics, with Jordan taking a total of 32,292 points during his illustrious career. Due to the lack of live US basketball coverage in the UK (especially back in the Jordan days), I was unfortunately able to view very few of those points from a live perspective. Nevertheless, even with the lack of coverage, it was easy to see the appeal of Jordan from any location in the world.
Kobe Bryant
This could be one player that some may disagree with as while Bryant may be regarded as one of the best players currently in the game, it could be suggested that he still has a way to go before matching that legendary status. One of my personal early memories of Bryant is his infamous feud with Shaquille O'Neal, which caused Shaq to leave the Lakers. Still, there was plenty of evidence at that point that Bryant had the potential to become one of the best, after forming such a dynamic partnership with O'Neal. Since those days, the 34-year-old has gone from strength-to-strength and is in my mind the most exciting player in the modern game. His points scoring ability is second to none, while the fact he has been named in the All-Star team fifteen times speaks volumes about his reputation. Furthermore, there is the small matter of his gigantic salary, which makes him one of the highest paid athletes on the planet at the moment.

Hartford Slips Past UMass, 3-2
Sept. 12, 2012
WEST HARTFORD, Conn. - Despite scoring a season-high two goals, the Massachusetts men's soccer team was unable to hold on to a halftime lead as they fell to Hartford, 3-2, at Alumni Stadium Wednesday night.
UMass (2-2-1) managed six shots and three corner kick opportunities. Matt Keys led the Minutemen with two shots. Hartford (4-3-0) had 18 shots, putting seven on goal.
UMass got on the board early in the first when Keys outjumped Hartford goalie Viltsu Tuumi for a header on a 30-yard free kick from Dominic Skrajewski in the 19th minute. It was the sophomore defender's first goal of the season and second of his career.
UMass kept Hartford out of the net in the first period, thanks in part to goalkeeper Brian Frame and Keys. Frame made a nice point-blank stop on an Anthony Santaga attempt 28th minute. Later, Keys had two clears in traffic on corner kicks less than a minute apart with just under seven minutes to play.
That's the way it stood until the Hawks tied it up on an unassisted goal by Javoni Simms ? his fifth of the year ? at 56:58. Hartford took its first lead 14 minutes later when Damion Lowe found the back of the net on a scrum in front of the goal.
The Minutemen re-tied things up four minutes later, at 75:38, when Hellah Sidibe sent a free kick from the midfield stripe into the box where Brett Canepa headed it to the right of the goal and found Dan Sangster alone for the score. For the junior, it was his first career score.
But the momentum swung back to the home team just 71 seconds later when the Hawks were awarded a penalty shot that Santaga put past Frame for the eventual game-winner. Frame finished with four saves with all of those coming in the first 45 minutes. Tuumi did not stop a shot on goal in the contest.
UMass was unable to get another shot on goal despite penetrating deep into Hartford's back line on a number of occasions.
UMass will travel to New Hampshire (3-2-1) on Saturday night. The game with the Wildcats at Bremner Field is set to begin at 7 p.m.

Why Dwight is Super and Shaq less of a man
Rather than pontificate on why Dwight Howard has become viewed as such a refreshing change of pace and Shaquille O'Neal as a bit stale, we simply offer two answers from Howard's media availability at the NBA Finals.
Q. Since you've been in Orlando and you've developed, Shaq has been pretty disparaging of you at times. Are you ever perplexed at why he's done that? When you've talked to him one-on-one, has it been different, or how have you seen that?
Howard: "I haven't spoken to him one-on-one. I don't know. I can't tell you why he's said a lot of discouraging things. I wish he wouldn't say it because he's one of the few guys that we all look up to. But you can't control what he says. I'm playing for the Finals right now, so my focus is not on what Shaq says or anybody else. It's getting my team a trophy."
Q. There's a lot made about the dying breed of big men, and you and Andrew Bynum both drafted out of high school, both had relative success so far. Maybe not in this series but just for the sake of the position, do you want Andrew to succeed in his career and continue to develop?
Howard: Of course. Watching Andrew since high school, he's come a long way, first with his weight, first saw him in the All-Star Game. He was wider, but now he's slimmed down, gotten into better shape. His game has improved from the first time he's been in the NBA. I really love watching him develop, and I think we both have a lot of respect for each other. And knowing that we're like dinosaurs in the NBA, there's not a lot of us, so we have to stick together."
Complimentary instead of condescending. Therein lies the difference. Humor is one thing. But so is humility.

A 36-year-old Lodi man will return to Medina County Common Pleas Court for resentencing following a partially successful appeal.
The appellate court ruling means Marc A. Bates could have a year taken off his 12-year-sentence.
In the Monday decision from the 9th District Court of Appeals, the 2011 case of Bates was remanded to Judge James L. Kimbler's courtroom.
Bates was convicted in March last year of complicity to commit burglary and arson, theft of a motor vehicle and two counts of breaking and entering. He also was found to be a repeat violent offender.
Kimbler sentenced Bates to 12 years in prison after he was convicted of stealing wedding rings, $1,500 in coins and a blue 2000 Ford Ranger pickup, as well as bicycles and an oxygen tank in September 2011.
The truck was recovered four days later on fire just over the Medina County line in Wayne County.
The appellate court rejected Bates' request for a new trial but ruled he should be resentenced because the burned vehicle should have resulted in a first-degree misdemeanor charge, not a fourth-degree felony. Misdemeanors are not punishable with prison time.
Arson becomes a felony when damage to property exceeds $1,000. Justices said the state never proved the truck was worth that much.
The 2011 case wasn't Bates' first time in common pleas court — he's had 14 felony convictions in eight cases since 1995.
Other felony charges against him have included felonious assault, aggravated rioting, cocaine and methamphetamine possession, failure to comply with police orders, disrupting public service, trafficking in counterfeit drugs, burglary and theft.
No date has been set for Bates' resentencing.

I would just like to say my views on a certain topic of debatable truths.
I would enjoy some other peoples views and opinions as well.
People that say that they were abducted by aliens, I think are honestly people looking for a bit of attention because if youll notice the people that get abducted are always people that arent exactly at their highest point in life.
Now, just because I have said that does NOT (AND I REPEAT NOT) mean I do not believe in aliens because if the universe is as big as everyone on earth believes it is then realistically it is impossible for there to be no other life out there.
Bt, i they had the ability to travel millions of light-years across the known universe I would think that they would either A) take us all and use us as slaves (kind of on the same line that white people way back in time did to all African American people just be cause we were more sophisticated and technologically advanced (BS, no one is better than another)) or B) leave us the @#%$ alone because interference would be very wrong or C) just kill us all to prevent our destructive and chaotic ways off our own planet either way that is my view on ET talk so please read this and respond and give me your thoughts and opinions so that we may all benefit from some Intellectual conversation

JWC TO MARY CARLYLE AUSTIN ; 30 April 1858; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18580400-JWC-MCA-01; CL 33: 212-214
5 Cheyne Row / Saturday [April/May? 1858]
Dearest Mary
It hasn't been thro negligence, I assure you, that I have allowed so many days to pass without fulfilling your small wish. thro' the very opposite of negligence it has been!—thro a desire on my part to do the thing better than well—a very pernicious tendency in female human nature, as I have had frequent opportunities to observe in my own experience as well as other peoples—for in wishing to do a thing better than well, one often enough fails to do it at all!
I should have liked, you see, to send you the picture, framed; but if there is amongst "created objects" anything more apt to get broken in the carriage than EGGS, it is precisely glazed picture-frames!!— I have tried sending one over and over again and always "the wreck was total"—for not only does the glass get broken but the broken glass scratches and spoils the picture— There is one way in which I have conveyed the thing safely, and that is amongst my clothes, in my own trunk. But unfortunately I am not at liberty to start for the Gill just at present—with my trunk! and the only other resource I could think of was to have the photograph put in one of those leather cases that shut, if there were any such of sufficient size. That I could only inform myself about at a shop on the other side of London, and the only two fine days since I got your letter, up to yesterday I was obliged by what Mr C calls "a pressure of Things," to drive in another direction— So it was only yesterday that I satisfied myself there was no case, of the size needed, procurable; and now I do what I should have done at the first—send the photograph without a frame, and the frame will come in my trunk, when, please God, I go to Scotland this summer or autumn! There is a sencond1 copy of the photograph of the horse2—which Mr C says Jamie at Scotsbrig is to have "if he care for it"—of course I should think he would care for it!—So take your choice and give him one of them the first safe opportunity.
I send you a most extraordinary likeness of Mr C—which will give you if not much satisfaction at least, a hearty laugh. He has a trick of always turning his eyes out of
his head when he is being "taken" the consequences of which are truly awful! There are also two photographs of his STUDY—in which you will recognise the old table, fire-screen3 &c &c—

I am writing like a house on fire—having an appointment to go and see a sick friend4 for which I shall hardly be in time—But I couldnt bear to let two more days pass—(tomorrow is Sunday) I should like to hear that the packet reachs you without injury. in testimony thereof just send back the newspaper I will send along with this note—with two strokes—It will save you the trouble of writing till you have a longer and better letter from me to answer—
In break-neck-haste Your ever affectionate

Cheltenham Hockey Club History
Welcome to the CHC History page - we hope that as you read this, you will be prompted to send in your memories and knowledge of our club's history.
We have split this page into 4 areas:
CHC History
Founded in 1887, Cheltenham Hockey Club (CHC) is 129 years old. The earliest reference to a CHC is in an article in the Cheltenham Examiner of October 1898. In 1904, a left winger, H S Slade became the first club player to win international honours appearing for England against Wales.
The club had a chequered history around that time and on at least two occasions it nearly died. The second of these was during the First World War. Afterwards it was set up by J A Lovell, who was to be a leading force in the club in the post war years. At one time he was both captain and secretary and retained the latter post for 15 years. During this period, the club ran 3 Men's, two Ladies and the now famous Wednesday XI.
The annual subscription was one guinea and match fees were 2s 6d for the men's 1st XI. At that time the club seems to have taken its social affairs very seriously; the highlight being the annual Dinner Dance when one year, it was reputed that the attendance totalled some 600 people.
During this period Cheltenham players won International Honours notably E S Hoare who won 30 England caps between 1926 and 1937.
By 1957 CHC was fielding 2 Men's and 2 Ladies teams on a Saturday and a midweek men's Wednesday XI. There were no Leagues, games were just played for enjoyment. Fixture meetings were held on a Monday at a coffee bar in the Prom. Teams were selected and the selection cards were sent by post as few people had phones. Also very few ladies had access to a car so ordinary buses were used to get to away games!
The post war years saw Cheltenham consolidate itself into one of the strongest clubs in Gloucestershire helped in the 1950s by D J Carnill, a full back who won 45 England caps and captained Great Britain at the Rome Olympics in 1960.
League Hockey came to the West of England in 1978 and Cheltenham were runners up in the first two years of the premier Division (78/79 and 79/80). The winning of the Premier Division of the Sun Life West Hockey League in 1990/1991 gave the 1st XI automatic promotion into Division 2 of the National League.
Recent History
In more recent times, CHC has taken part in a successful Lottery Bid alongside Balcarras School. CHC has been based at the school since 2002 and the Club now boasts some of the best facilities in the local area with changing rooms, bar and catering facilities next to the pitch. Since the move to Balcarras, the Club has seen a team(s) promoted into higher leagues nearly every season.

Memorable Moments
"Paramount is the Hockey Club Dance of January 1961. At the last minute I asked Pam, the Dean Close Headmaster's Secretary, if she would like to come as my partner. It was hugely successful, and I am hugely indebted to Bill Morris and the hockey Club for that, since Pam and I have been very happily married almost ever since."
Denys Carnill, CHC VP
Amusing Episodes
Playing Blockley and having to chase sheep off the pitch
A strike had taken place by the groundsmen in Cheltenham and the grass was getting long so a local farmer brought his tractor along and cut the grass before playing
Playing Painswick Hockey Club and somebody shouting "Can somebody remove the dog pooh"
The sight of John Webb scoring a hat trick in 1988...the 1st XI were 0-2 down 10 minutes or so into the second half against Exeter University and Tony Croucher summoned the 12th man Webby (no rolling subs then) . JW calmly placed his half smoked cigarette on the side of the pitch and walked on, looking for all the world like a man with asthma who'd just run a marathon - at least that is what the students thought. 10 minutes later Cheltenham were 3-2 up and several Exeter players had been left on their arses whilst the ex-England international had - literally - walked through their defence. Never have I seen a ball hit harder into a net - nor an opposition looked more bewildered
Great game was Castlers versus Marlborough 4th XI, who had three 1st XI players and three 2nd XI players as games had been cancelled...1-1 with a goal from "Sniffer" Tony Bees and one man down for the last 15 minutes when Fred Croxton had to leave the field for 5 stitches in a head wound - he was fined severely for lack of moral fibre and commitment
Players Players
"In my first few seasons, one side of the forward line consisted of Meg Shaylor at centre, myself at left inner and Joan Mayer at left wing. We worked instinctively often swapping places as the need arose without even thinking about it."
Cairine Lee, CHC VP
"For sheer talent - Neil Cunningham. For absolute commitment to the Club - Neil's Dad, Andy Cunningham and Sara Hemming. For total determination to win (Men) - Gary Tredgett. For total determination to win (Women) - Liz Holding (nee Bradley). For making me deaf in my right ear - Bill Hews (me at left half, Bill at left back)"
John Hepworth, CHC VP

Tomorrow marks the official release of Take Me Home here in the U.S., and One Direction will perform on the Today stage in celebration of their latest album. After arriving at Rockefeller Center on their own double-decker bus last spring, and spending much of 2012 bringing large groups of fans to tears, how will this performance possibly compare?
There are already groups of eager fans storming midtown Manhattan, sharing sign-making techniques and best Twitter practices after having claimed their viewing spots as early as last Thursday morning. Throughout history boy band fans have tended to skew highly female, capturing girls' hearts at a young age and refusing to let go long after their own children have caught the bug. While there are currently many shrieking young women waiting and withstanding basic grooming practices for a chance to see Harry, Liam, Louis, Niall and Zayn up close and personal, Popdust is pleased to confirm that male Directioners of varied ages do exist.
Below, meet the brave and dedicated bros counting the hours until 1D takes the stage Tuesday morning.
Did you have to convince your parents to let you do this?
They kind of had no choice. I was like, 'OK I'm going there' and they were like, 'OK, fine,' because they know how much One Direction is part of my life.
What do you like best about the group?
They're not like a normal boy band. They're not choreographing stuff and they're just having fun doing it.
Do you have a favorite member?
Louis. He's just funny and kind of, like, sassy.
What about the way he makes subtle hints at The Wanted? Any thoughts on those who want there to be a rivalry?
I don't like The Wanted. They're, like, old.
So "Glad You Came" didn't make an impact on you?
I don't like them. They're not my cup of tea.
Do a lot of people at school like One Direction?
Does anyone make fun of you for being such a big fan?
No, because I think they know I'll hate them forever and I'll find them. I don't really like people from school that like [One Direction] because they're just more fake. These are the real fans that camp out on the street.
Do you have a favorite member?
Niall, because he's blonde. And he's Irish.
I think he's the best at Twitter.
Yeah, he says a lot of stupid stuff. Good stupid stuff.
As a guy, do you look to individual members of One Direction for fashion tips?
No, I try to make my own style. But I like the way they dress, they look really nice.
Have you been following them since The X Factor?
About a couple months after they were one. They were the ambassadors for Pokemon, that's how I found out.
What was your first impression?
Zayn's cute. Zayn was my first and then I saw Niall and then I found out how sweet Liam is, and I met him, too.
We need details.
We were at the same hotel and he tried to get everyone around the hotel to take pictures with him, so that was good. And he smelled nice.
So you kept it cool?
Yeah, yeah. I just said "hi," I shook his hand, sniffed him—without him knowing, casual sniffing—and took a picture. [Laughs.]
What do you think of some of the crazier examples of fandom—the fan fiction, the Twitter threats, etc.?
The fan fictions are so crazy, they get so scary. Sure, we're fans of them, but we don't know them like that; we can't say certain things. Even with their girlfriends, I know a lot of fans only say [they love them] so they have the respect of the boys. And there are some fans that hate the girlfriends—for what reason? Especially with Larry—Harry and Louis, "the couple"— like, some people truly believe that they're gay for each other. But they're just friends.
What if it were true though?
That would be pretty cool. A gay power couple.
Do your parents think you're crazy for doing stuff like this?
Oh yeah.
Does it feel weird to be spending hours in a sea of overly enthusiastic girls?
No. I just totally fit in.
How long have you been following One Direction?
Brandon: I've been liking them since they were on The X Factor.
Alvin: About half a year now. I just love the music.
What do you like most about it?
Brandon: The meaning of the songs; it's a good meaning, because I dedicated three of the songs ("One Thing," "Stole My Heart," "Little Things") to my girlfriend, so that's pretty great.
What did she think?
Brandon: She was happy.
Is she as big a fan as you are?
Brandon: Yes.
Does she think it's weird that you like a boy band?
No, she thinks it's cool. She was hoping to come here, too, but she couldn't.
Besides the music, do you look up to the guys?
Brandon: I like the way they express themselves. They're very good singers, and my favorite out of the whole band is Zayn Malik because he's kind of like my idol. He's a very good guy and I think he's the best singer out of the whole group.
Why is he your idol?
Brandon: The way he dresses, and all the girls like him, too.
Alvin: They're almost all average boys but they all had dreams of getting big.
What about their style?
Alvin: I actually started dressing like them—I don't wear t-shirts anymore, I wear only [button-down] shirts and cardigans.
That is a very 1D outfit. Very "Gotta Be You."
Alvin: [Laughs] I guess so.
So you want to steal some of their "game" with women?
Brandon and Alvin: Yes.
Do any of your friends think that liking One Direction makes you gay?
Alvin: No…
Brandon: Guys are hating. They're just jealous because [One Direction] is getting all the attention, and probably because they don't [have it]… and they're not getting as many girls.
Alvin: You can't call someone gay just because they like music.
Brandon: If you think you can be better than [One Direction] then go for it. I hardly believe you'll be better than them, though.
Will this be your first time seeing One Direction live?
How are you feeling?
Oh my gosh, I'm SO excited.
Who's your favorite member?
I like Zayn. I mean, Zayn doesn't know it yet, but he likes guys and he's going to marry me.
How do you feel about being a male One Direction fan?
I'm fabulous; it's awesome.
Do people give you a hard time for liking them?
They love me!
Do you pay attention to the various "Larry Stylinson" rumors?
I feel like it's not really true. I feel bad for them.
What if it was true?
They made so much history already. I'd probably like them just as equally.
Do you have anything to say to the 1D haters out there?
I'd rather not. My mom taught me not to curse.
So you're here with your kids?
Yes, I have two daughters and their friend, so we came from South Florida.
But you enjoy One Direction?
Yes. I'm Directioner Dad!
How did you get into the group?
Through the kids, so we've been stalking them ever since—we go to the hotels they're staying in…
Oh yes. And when they came to South Florida we went to all the shows.
Do you have a favorite member?
Harry, of course. He's the best member.
The hair, it's gotta be the hair.
We're you into similar groups when you were younger?
No, it's all because of the kids. They started a YouTube site, so we do a bunch of goofy stuff with One Direction.
Have you seen anything crazy happen in the line?
Not really, but it is kind of weird how they're directioning people the wrong way [sic].
What do your friends think about you coming to New York for this?
Oh they think it's a riot and they think I'm an idiot. A 40-year-old man taking them around on special trips to see One Direction?
There aren't many male fans here.
There's none.
Do you think it's OK for guys to like groups like One Direction?
Hey, whoever likes whatever is fine with me. I don't have any stereotypes. I see it's all girls; it's obvious. I'm sure if I had two boys I wouldn't be here right now.
But what if they liked One Direction?
Whatever floats their boat.
Have you met any of the guys?
We did, we went to Massapequa, New York for a CD signing, so [my kids] did. I took the pictures.
But if you could hang out with Harry…
Yeah, I'd like to buy him a beer!

Can Spain make it four in a row in Brazil?
Spain will enter the 2014 World Cup on the cusp of unprecedented history that would symbolise their dominance at international level through a golden generation of players who have finally delivered the glory that so many squads in the past had the potential to achieve. No other nation in the history of football has won four consecutive major international tournaments, with Spain also in line to hold the distinction of being the only team to have successfully defended both European and World Cup titles in the eight year period.

"Beta Ray Bill, Oath brother to Thor, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Amy Zander. I do have to be honest though, Although I know what Mjolnir is capable of, I don't really know how to use it yet. If you'd be willing to teach me, I would be honored to accept your teaching and guidance."
The young woman, Amy Zander, told Bill, who proceeded to scrutinize the proffered hand until he realized what she was doing, taking it in his own large, four digit hand, completely encompassing her own with it.
Beta Ray Bill contemplated this for a time; he had not considered her skill with the hammer, and he had not considered the necessities of teaching how to use it either. For him, a cybernetic warrior, and champion of the Korbinite people, wielding Mjolnir, and then
soon afterwards came naturally, and with a surprisingly easy lack of forethought. Even the seemingly complex use of their powers in general had been something that he'd learned to wield without effort or thought. But Beta Ray Bill was forgetting something, this was a human, no noble virtue by birth, nor warrior caste history, only a story of desperate valiance in the face of certain death, an act of valor for sure, but no great measure of combat prowess and virtue beyond par.....No, Beta Ray Bill suspected that she was deemed worthy by her nature of heart, her need at the time, and maybe ~ perhaps the knowledge of what she might, no,
Beta Ray Bill studied Amy intensely, seemingly gleaning something from her that only he could see, and that guess wouldn't be far off. "Then,
Amy Zander
, I shall honor you, and myself, with teaching you how to wield the mighty hammer of my
'Oath Brother'
, and together, perhaps, we can bring some peace and order back to this once beautiful world that Thor loved so much!"
With that, he placed his large hand on her slim shoulder and smiled, lifting
to his breast as a sign of dedication of his words to her.
"But in you...I see the potential to see the Force die, to turn away from its will..."
"You are beautiful to me, exile. A dead spot in the Force, an emptiness in which its will might be denied."
"But no Jedi ever made the choice you did. To sever ties so completely, so utterly, that it leaves a wound in the Force..."

Not many inside China and even fewer across the world know much about the man who has taken the reins.
17:42, UK, Thursday 15 November 2012
Mark Stone
Europe Correspondent
He will lead the world's most populous nation of 1.3 billion people for the next 10 years and could be at the helm when China becomes the world's largest economy but who is Xi Jinping? And why should you care anyway?
Mr Xi is a "princeling" - the son of one of the founding members of the Chinese Communists, Xi Zhongxun, a guerrilla commander who went on to form the party alongside Chairman Mao.
Mr Xi's father and Mao fell out. Xi Senior was tortured and placed in jail for several years.
During the Cultural Revolution - when millions of Chinese died under Mao's leadership - the Xi family were sent to live in communes as peasants along with so many others.
In recent and rare interviews Xi Jinping talks about this difficult time in his life which he refers to as a "struggle" which helped develop him into a stronger man.
Mr Xi and those around him now represent the first generation of leaders to experience first-hand the struggle of being a child through the Cultural Revolution. Many speculate that this could mould his leadership, especially in terms of how he deals with the widening gap between rich and poor in China.
After the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, Mr Xi moved back to Beijing to continue his education. He was educated into Communist Party and quickly rose through the ranks, first in Hebei Province and then in Fujian Province.
In 2000 he was made governor of Fujian Province followed by acting governor of Zhejiang in 2002. He built economies in those two provinces which have become larger than both Hong Kong and Taiwan.
He has a daughter who studies at Harvard and a wife who is more famous than he is.
Peng Liyuan is a folk singer, fluent in English and a Major-General in the People's Liberation Army. She is, by all accounts, a beautiful woman - her name even means "beautious beauty".
Ms Peng will be far more of an American-style first lady when compared with her elderly and reclusive predecessor, Hu Jintao's wife.
In public, Mr Xi also contrasts with his stiff and formal predecessor. He is a charismatic and a relaxed public speaker.
He is well travelled too, having lived in the United States for a short time as a young man. In recent years, in preparation for his rise to the very top, he's been to a number of Western capitals.
Mr Xi's inner thoughts, aspirations for his country's direction and attitude towards the West are not widely known.
A comment he made on a 2010 visit to Mexico is often used as an example of his true colours.
"Foreigners with full bellies, and nothing better to do than point fingers at China. China does not export revolution, or famine, or poverty or mess around with other countries. So what else is there to say," he said.
But his first speech to the media on Thursday as leader was more conciliatory.
"Just as China needs to learn more about the world, so does the world need to learn more about China," he said.
However, despite all that, walk down any street in Beijing and you'll find the Chinese know very little about their new leader. And in the West it would not be an embarrassment to admit to not having ever heard of the man.
The reason for this is simple. China operates what can be called a black-box system of government. It is a system closed to its subjects. It is extremely hard to see how it operates and who is pulling the levers.
The Communist Party runs or contributes to almost every facet of life in China. Its 80 million or so members make it the largest political party in the world. And yet China is so large, they represent just 6% of the country's population.
It is that 6% who have some say over who in community rises up each of the thousands of different party organisations.
With a pyramid effect fewer and fewer people endorse those who will sit above them - and that is why very few people know who Mr Xi is, what he is like, what he stands for and in what direction he will take the world's most populous nation.
Reform is the buzzword for China's next 10 years. Many had believed that following the country's economic reforms in the 1990s, political and social reform would come under Mr Hu and Mr Wen. It didn't happen.
China is now at a crossroads. Past Chinese leaders have lifted the country economically beyond all expectations; it is now the world's second wealthiest country.
But its economic explosion coupled with a downturn in exports to the West has produced a long list of explosive problems.
The wealth gap is wider than ever. Corruption is rife. The cities are the most polluted in the world. Factory production is slowing. Now mix all that in with an increasingly restive population which is more technologically connected and geographically mobile than ever: this is the China Xi Jinping must lead.
He has never really revealed whether he is just a moderniser or a genuine reformer. The direction he chooses will determine China's fate.
And remember, China's fate matters to the West.
China has holdings of more than $1trn (£631bn) of US debt. It is buying up Western companies and increasingly Western companies are investing in China.
If further reform comes, think of the opportunities which could help lift the West out of economic crisis.
But if China crashes, it could bring the rest of us down with it.

PRINCETON — The county of Bureau has a new county seal, thanks to Andrew Albrecht.
Andrew, a fifth-grader at Reagan Middle School in Tiskilwa, won the recent Design A Seal contest organized by Bureau County Clerk Kami Hieronymus. The new seal depicts the Soldiers and Sailors monument on the courthouse square, stalks of corn, a covered bridge and a Ferris wheel from the Bureau County Fair.
Hieronymus said the old seal has been used for many years and is similar to the Illinois state seal, with a bald eagle on a rock, a ribbon and shield. Other counties were updating and modernizing their county seals, and she thought it would be a good thing to do for Bureau County as well.
"As one of our jobs, the county clerk is the keeper of the county seal," Hieronymus said. "For anything that needs to be certified, from county board records, to vital records and other official documents which need to be sealed, we will use this new seal. I will have it posted on the county clerk's website and have it become a part of our official stationary for the county clerk's office."
When considering the updated county seal, Hieronymus said she thought it was time to incorporate some color into the design and to feature some historical sites in the county.
"I thought we needed a new symbol that is a representation of Bureau County," Hieronymus said. "I also thought we could use some youthful creations to come up with a new look."
Fifth-graders from throughout the county were invited to participate in the Design a Seal contest. The guidelines for the entries were the design had to be drawn on an 8-by-11-inch paper, with a circular design approximately 3 to 5 inches wide. The entries were to be done in colored pencil. Students also had to write a paragraph explaining their chosen designs.
About 150 entries were received from students at Ohio Grade School, Spring Valley Elementary, Cherry Grade School and Princeton Elementary School, Hieronymus said. Judging was done by a panel of five judges: Bureau County Treasurer Nina Urbanowski, Bureau County Board member Mary Jane Marini, Bureau County Historical Museum Director Pam Lange, Princeton resident and business woman Carolyn Diller, and former Bureau County Clerk staff member Kathy Waca. The judges had a tough job to do, and they selected a great winning design, Hieronymus said.
The top three winners in the Design a Seal contest were announced at last week's awards ceremony at Reagan Middle School in Tiskilwa. Second place was awarded to Lauren Frost; third place was awarded to Olivia Eiken. Like the first-place winner, Lauren and Olivia are also fifth-graders at Reagan. All participants were given a prize for submitting an entry. The top three winners received additional prizes, Hieronymus said.

Two new items are gracing Burger King's dollar menu, and while the Rodeo Burger and Chicken Sandwich might boast only onion rings and BBQ sauce, they're an instant value add to your meal and pretty delicious at that.
I grabbed one of each at the Burger King on Union Turnpike in Fresh Meadows, and paid $1.09 apiece with tax for the small sandwiches. Oddly, there was no in-store advertising for the Rodeo sandwiches, but once I requested it the cashier knew exactly what it was.
The Rodeo line is simply a beef or crispy chicken patty with a couple of onion rings and a large helping of BBQ sauce slathered on a poppyseed bun. The beef was fresh and the chicken was crispy, in line with BK's usual tasty offerings. The onion rings added a satisfying salty crunch and while the BBQ sauce made things a little messy, both sandwiches were adequately delicious.
The portion size was fair for the $1 price, although the chicken patty was noticeably bigger than the burger and I thought it tasted a little better too. If paired with a drink and a side dish either one would make for a reasonable lunch or dinner. At 310 calories (burger) / 410 calories (chicken), the sandwiches land right in the middle tier of the fast food diet with about 17 grams of fat and under 1,000 mgs of sodium. Don't have one every day, but once or twice a week certainly won't wreck you. Alternatively, if you're looking to pad your drunken midnight order with something cheap and delicious, the chicken sandwich is a perfect value add.
While I'll always be a Whopper guy, and the Angry Whopper already offers both onion rings and BBQ sauce on its own, it's hard to argue with the Rodeo's price factor if you need a quick and cheap sandwich. The burger/chicken option also puts a little more choosing power in your hands. But it might be worth the extra $3 to spring for an Angry Whopper if you really value lettuce & tomato and a fuller package for your burger.
The Rodeo burger and chicken sandwiches seem more gimmicky than anything else, and therefore will probably be replaced by Burger King's next new promotion. So check it out while it's still around.

KIAWAH ISLAND, S.C. (Feb. 26, 2008) - Steady rains forced the cancellation of Tuesday's third and final round of the Cuthbert Cup hosted by College of Charleston at the Cougar Point Golf Course.
The ETSU women's golf team will return home with a fourth place finish in the event, opening their spring schedule with a strong showing. Individually, sophomore Sinead O'Sullivan (
"We had two really strong days as a team, and it's a good way to start the season," said ETSU head coach Stefanie Reynolds, whose team has posted five finishes of sixth or better in six events this year. "Hopefully, we can build off that and have players continue to go low for us."
The team will return to action March 3-4 at the 2008

Student loan debt is an issue in the political spotlight this week. President Obama was surrounded by college students at the White House when he signed an executive order making it easier for millions of people to pay off college debt. Last year, student loan debt topped at $1 trillion and that amount is expected to increase as college tuition rises.
Obama announced that borrowers pay no more that 10 percent of their monthly income in payments, but it is only available for those who started borrowing after October 2007. Under the Obama plan, the government will renegotiate its contract with federal student loan providers.
"I'm only here because this country gave me a chance through education," Obama said. "We are here today because we believe that in America, no hard young working person should be priced out of an education."
The Senate is expected to debate next week, but it faces opposition from the Republicans because student loan debt does not address the root cause when college tuition is to high.

Overview of Program
Service Link trains and deploys dedicated student volunteers to the associated clinics serving the low-income population in Philadelphia. Service Link provides an excellent and unique opportunity for students to get experience interacting with patients one-on-one while learning about and engaging in Service Link's mission to address the social and economic factors driving health outcomes. Other students interested in community service in general and connecting people to welfare benefits are encouraged to join as well.
Service Link is recognized by Civic House and CHAC
Our Students
Undergraduate students actively participate by helping patients apply for welfare benefits (like food stamps, heating assistance, and health care coverage) through an online web portal, set-up specialist appointments over the phone, and assist in other activities to benefit the clinics, like fundraising and outreach. In this way, students are contributing to an essential service, as patients need both medical and social "prescriptions" to heal effectively and holistically.

Mean Street: Obama's Dow 5000
Dear Mr. President,
Unfortunately, it's true. The stock market doesn't like you.
Only one month in and investors are giving up. Another 30% haircut would put the Dow at 5000.
And that level wouldn't just put a crimp into your presidency. The ensuing collapse in savings and the U.S. pension system would destroy it.
Now, some advisers may tell you not to worry about the stock market. That it will take care of itself. But that's wrong. Especially today.
At its core, the market is a measure of belief — the belief that investors can make money by buying a slice of America.
And a plummeting Dow means they really don't believe in the country. Or in you.
You need to turn this around and fast. Here's some advice:
1. Channel Ronald Reagan, not Jimmy Carter
Everybody knows the economy is lousy. Everybody gets your "underpromise, overdeliver" routine.
But if the economy doesn't come around in a year, you're still "wearing it" as they say on Wall Street.
You're the #1 salesman of America's hopes and dreams. Quit moaning and go out and sell some optimism.
2. Enough already with class warfare
Make no mistake. All that populist anti-Wall Street rhetoric in Washington scares the heck out of investors.
What good comes from your Press Secretary attacking CNBC's Rick Santelli? It makes the White House look weak and out of touch with the markets.
Maybe you are. How else could you have signed Senator Christopher Dodd's executive pay amendment into law?
Forget that the amendment is poorly drafted, vindictive public policy. It serves nobody's interests but the politicians who sponsored it.
Tell Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and your own staff to turn down the volume on the "outrage of the people." The election is long over.
3. Rule out bank nationalization — even if you haven't completely ruled it out
Tell your Treasury Secretary to immediately announce that the nationalization of Citi and Bank of America is off the table.
With their shares worth so little and the government already backstopping them, this is largely a matter of semantics.
If you have to revisit "full nationalization" over the next couple of months, so what?
Secretary Geithner can say the situation has changed. And it will have. The situation changes every day.
4. Make peace with Wall Street
Go to New York, press the flesh and put some confidence into the markets simply by showing up.
Meet with the same eight bank CEOs that were bashed two weeks ago by Rep. Barney Frank and his House Committee.
Scold them for the cameras and then declare that a healthy America needs a healthy Wall Street.
Announce on the NYSE floor that the SEC is re-instating the "uptick rule" as a way to protect small "Main Street" investors.
Wall Street will give you a hero's welcome.
5. Shelve liberal, Democrat pet bills
Why are your fellow Democrats so keen to frighten US industry? Are US companies not terrified enough nowadays?
Show that you want American business to win. Put the kibosh on Henry Waxman's efforts to undo the Supreme Courts' limitations on suing medical device makers.
And while you're at it, call for an indefinite postponement of the Employee Free Choice Act, the anti-business union card check bill. That one's a real stock market no-no.
6. Get the bipartisanship thing going
It made investors nervous that Senator Judd Gregg ditched you and that you could only come up with 3 Republican votes on the stimulus. Let's get that bipartisan thing going.
Join with the Republicans and put GM into bankruptcy. That's the endgame anyway. Might as well co-opt the Republicans and give yourself some political cover.
Of course, none of these measures is a guarantee that the stock market will go up. And certainly, many in your party will cry Judas.
But you urgently need to do something to shift investor sentiment. Dow 5000 is in nobody's interest. Especially not yours.
