Marijuana bust in Fort Kent nets 72 plants
(Correction - Police have charged Ketchen with cultivation, a Class D crime, and not a Class C crime as previously reported)
FORT KENT – Police Chief Kenneth Michaud confirmed on Friday that his department, along with assistance from a Border Patrol Agent, arrested a Fort Kent man after searching his home and discovering a large cache of marijuana plants.
Michaud said that he and Police Officer Richard Martin went to 109 Highland Avenue as a result of a tip from someone saying there was marijuana growing in the cellar.
Police arrested Gary Ketchen, 38-years-old of Fort Kent.
Michaud said, "Before we got the warrant, we went over to see them and spoke to Gary. We spoke to him about what he had in the cellar."
Michaud said his officers had been watching the place for a while.
After talking with Ketchen and showing him a picture of the plants, Michaud said they had his permission to enter the house.
The officers discovered 72 plants in the basement. The officers, with the help of Border Patrol Agent George Ferland, loaded the plants into a pickup and brought the evidence back to the town office.
As Chief Michaud, Town Manager Don Guimond and Water and Wastewater Department Head Mark Soucy emptied the contraband from the back of a police pickup, Ferland counted 72 plants.
The odor of musky marijuana permeated the air around the town office.
The bust occurred just after lunch on Highland Avenue in Fort Kent.
According to Fort Kent Police, cultivation of fewer than 100 marijuana plants is a Class D crime, punishable by up to 364 days incarceration and a $2000 fine.
Michaud said, "He had the lights, he had the watering machine and he had the air filtration system."
One plant was much larger than the others, resembling a small indoor tree. Michaud said, "He had one big plant that he used for the seeds. That was the mother plant."
The person or persons growing the plants had spread them between two rooms in the basement.
Ketchen will appear in court on July 20.
Cannabis prohibition ends!
Wow, marijuana is not bad.

In a perfect world, my day would start with a delicious, dark, scalding hot cup of coffee. Stretching would be a joy. I'd sit outside on my patio perched to see the perfect view. I'd be served one of my already approved breakfast meals with another cup of joe. My personal chef would make sure my diet consisted of top 10 foods high in fiber. Since colon cancer can be a real concern for men and women, my concern would lesson knowing my diet is filled with rich, insoluble and soluble fiber. The average American now eats 10 - 15 grams of fiber per day. The recommendation for older children, adolescents, and adults is 20 - 35 grams per day. Younger children will not be able to eat enough calories to achieve this, but it is a good idea to introduce whole grains, fresh fruits, and other high-fiber foods.
Exercise is never the wrong idea for a healthy lifestyle. Weight management, arthritis, cancer, hepatitis, heart disease and depression can be improved with exercise. Exercise increases levels of serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine — important neurotransmitters that traffic in thoughts and emotions. You've probably heard of serotonin, and maybe you know that a lack of it is associated with depression. In my perfect world, every day my trainer would find me, encourage me, motivate me, and get me my allotted time of daily exercise. The trainer would be able to work with me on my trouble spots as well as help me adjust to different methods of weight training as my needs changed
In my perfect world preventative screenings, scans and tests would all be done on schedule and I'd get all the results fast. The results would always be accompanied by gold standards to compare my results with the best. Immediately I could turn to my own Dr. Kildare and get started on fixing whatever might need to be fixed.
I'd worry less about my health in my perfect world. So my world isn't as perfect, but it's darn good. Here's a more down to earth plan, one that you could follow too!
You could become a member of a local gym. There's tons to pick from. When choosing a local gym you want to make sure you'll feel comfortable there. Check out the lockers, and the clientele, hours and parking. In my search for a fitness gym, I found a local gym in Yorba Linda, California, Yorba Linda Fitness Gym. And here's a interesting alliance. Yorba Linda Fitness Gym works with Allure Aesthetics Med Spa.

January is National Hobby Month. Hobbies are a great way to explore and collect those things that interest us the most. Different hobbies include, stamp collecting, hiking, drawing and reading. Just to name a few. We all have our favorite hobbies, some of us have more than one that we enjoy. While celebrating National Hobby Month we plan to take a look at some of Walt Disney's favorite hobbies.
Walt Disney developed a passion for drawing at a very young age. By the age of four he already was showing a love for drawing. Disney was known for creating various drawings and sketches during his childhood. It was obvious he has a talent to bring his imagination to life on paper. By the age of seven, Disney started to sell his best drawings to friends, neighbors and relatives.
Eventually Disney decided it was time to perfect his hobby and make his dreams come true. He joined an art academy in Chicago and went on to compete in several different drawing competitions. He even started shooting photographs for his school's paper. This was just the beginning of the Disney we all know and love today.
Another one of Disney's hobbies was building model trains. He spent a lot of time creating and building an entire 1/8-scale steam railroad in his backyard. That model is currently on display in Disneyland's Main Street Station. Because of Walt's fascination with trains several different model trains can be found on display throughout all of the Disney parks and resorts, including the popular one near the Germany pavilion in Epcot.
In the spirit of National Hobby Month start reflecting back on the different hobbies you enjoy. Take the time to enjoy working on your hobbies. You never know. You may be able to turn that hobby into a successful career just like Disney did.

Ninety percent of the 21 influenza fatalities reported in North Carolina has been in young and middle-aged adults, while only two flu deaths were reported in persons over 65, according to a N.C. Department of Health and Human Services news release Jan. 9.
This comes after health officials announced the 21st fatality to flu this 2013-2014 season.
Health department officials say most of the victims had some kind of underlying medical condition.
This has prompted health authorities to encourage the public to get the flu vaccine.
"More than 50 percent of North Carolina's total population has some form of chronic disease," said State Health Director Dr. Robin Gary Cummings. "Conditions like asthma, congestive heart failure and diabetes can increase the risk for complications from flu. It's not too late to get vaccinated and it is the safest and most effective action you can take to protect yourself and your family."
Either the trivalent or the quadrivalent influenza vaccine protects against the H1N1 strain, which the CDC says is the predominant strain circulating this year.
LISTEN: Flu shots and travel medicine with Passport Health CEO, Duellyn Pandis
North Carolina is one of 35 states that are reporting "widespread" flu activity this season, this is up from just 25 states one week ago.
The CDC says flu seasons are unpredictable and can be severe. Over a period of 30 years, between 1976 and 2006, estimates of flu-associated deaths in the United States range from a low of about 3,000 to a high of about 49,000 people.

I couldnt figure out what you meant when you said this but I just checked the diff that went in and that explained it... My patch removes the old escape code line and replaces it with a single line, but your patch prints both escape codes. You only need the one in my patch as that does both icon and window titles, so you should be able to have the single line: print "\033]0;#{title}\07" if title && <at> in_x ... the fifth char '0' in the escape code means window AND icon (1 would be icon, 2 would be window). Not sure if you misread the patch or if I duffed up :) Marcus

It's hard to be a sick mommy. I can call in sick to work, but not to my 18 month old daughter who wants her momma. I don't usually get sick. I get a cold maybe once a year, and that is all. It lasts about three days, with maybe a light cough lasting a week more. Not this time. For the first time ever, I went to the doctor for a cold. It has lasted for a week so far and the cough is getting worse. The doctor said the cold turned into a sinus infection and gave me five medicines to take that should clear it up in a few days. The medicine is finally ready at the pharmacy.
Before I had my daughter, I could sleep off an illness in a day. This time I had to get up with her at 8 AM almost every day after restless nights full of coughing and blowing my nose. The doctor said, lack of rest is why I got it so bad this time.
Below are some things I tried to make it easier to care for my daughter:
1. Napping while she naps-- If I could only fall asleep!
2. Keeping her in her play area while lounging on the couch.
3. Putting her favorite show on T.V.
4. Making easy meals.
5. Avoiding speaking out loud whenever possible.
I only wish I had gone to the doctor sooner to clear up this nonsense. Mom's, learn from my mistake. At the first sign that you are ill, get it taken care of before it gets worse. You will save yourself some misery!

Will the San Jose Sharks regret extensions they signed Patrick Marleau and Joe Thornton to last fall? They are tethered to two veterans turning 35 before next season who have now been part of two teams in four years to blow a 3-0 Stanley Cup playoff lead after falling to the Los Angeles Kings Monday, April 28.
True, Joe Pavelski and Logan Couture were part of both teams and signed extensions two years longer than their teammates did. They are also younger and have not been part of as many failed Stanley Cup runs.
Antti Niemi was in net the last time the Sharks had a three-game tailspin, and was for the first two losses in this one. However, Alex Stalock got his first Stanley Cup playoff start Monday.
Win or lose in the deciding game in San Jose Wednesday, the Pacific Division semifinals series against Los Angeles will have taken too much of a toll to survive the difficult Western Conference road ahead. Either team will be lucky to survive one more round let alone three.
Both teams have only themselves to blame. Anyone that thinks the Kings showed up ready for the start of the 2014 Stanley Cup playoffs is kidding themselves. Thinking the Sharks are that much better is as errant as thinking what we have seen in the last two games shows they are that much worse.
It has indeed been a tale of two series. Those extra games yielded could cost them as early as this weekend.
The Anaheim Ducks had a road comeback victory over the Dallas Stars to take that series Sunday. They will be rested and have home-ice advantage over whichever team limps away from this series that has featured over 500 hits and nearly 300 penalty minutes.
Both San Jose and Los Angeles are better, no matter what the records say. Both are healthier than they were in the regular season, while Anaheim's blue-line injuries persist. Both coaching staffs have more credentials than the 2013-14 Pacific Division champions do on theirs.
The question is, will that be more important than rest and home-ice advantage? Even if it is, does another tough series make beating another nemesis in the Chicago Blackhawks (okay, that is not official yet but sure looks predestined) in the Western Conference finals? How about the Boston Bruins (or whoever) after that?
For the Sharks, this game displayed that their bigger problem is an inability to close. The simple fact is this team plays loose but also gets complacent in leads, both in games and series. They have been this way through two coaches.
They were an elite first-period team and a mediocre third-period team during the 2013-14 NHL season. Some of this was due to the opposition playing from behind, but the lack of urgency in their game was often evident. It happened in the the series-opener, when San Jose gave up three third-period goals to let Los Angeles back in the game.
In this case, there was no 5-0 cushion to lose. The game went from tight to over in the span of 166 seconds. Then came all the fighting again, with scraps of note including non-fighter Logan Couture tossing the gloves with Mike Richards (not exactly a fighter himself) and Jonathan Quick going after Thornton.
This is merely the frustration of bitter Pacific Division rivals in a dogfight because neither took care of business earlier in the series. The Sharks are also bitter about the second goal they think should have been disallowed, but Todd McLellan's reaction reported by CSN Bay Area Insider Kevin Kurz will not help his team be accountable enough to change the way they close:
"We got cheated. Simple as that. I was told you could see the puck laying behind [Stalock's] feet the whole time, and that's why the whistle didn't go. But it was pretty clear if you look at it afterward."
The call he is referring to was the game-winning goal. After getting the puck from Anze Kopitar, Robyn Regehr fired it on net. Stalock did not know where it was while it trickled to his back skate. The official could not have seen it but did not immediately blow the whistle. Perhaps it survived review because the camera could pick it up.
Either way, one goal does not cost a team a 4-1 loss. San Jose better worry about how it is going to score against Quick, who seems to have regained his Conn Smythe form after a shaky start to the Pacific Division semifinal series. Scoring only one goal against him in 120 minutes of hockey is not going to get it done.
Of course, neither is giving up three goals in every game as San Jose has. Stalock looked good early, but had no chance on the first goal about five minutes in: Drew Doughty got the puck from Jake Muzzin and came deep into the zone, throwing a centering feed across that Justin Williams redirected in.
The Sharks could not get one past Quick through three second-period power plays that included 97 seconds with a two-man advantage. However, the momentum gained did little for the Kings when Raffi Torres dug a puck out of the corner back to the point. Justin Braun slapped it toward the net and James Sheppard deflected it in to tie the score.
It was not until the final eight minutes that the 2012 Stanley Cup champion Kings took control. After the controversial goal, Anze Kopitar scored off two rebounds that gave Williams, Dwight King, Doughty and Alec Martinez assists.
For the game, the Sharks won the possession battles (10 more faceoffs and four fewer turnovers) and had four more shot attempts. Yet the Kings had four more shots on goal thanks in part to three more blocks and also had five more hits.
Predictably, Los Angeles swept the Examiner.com stars of this Pacific Division semifinal game...
Jonathan Quick
Jonathan Quick not only turned away 25 of 26 shots (.962 save percentage) and deserves no blame for the one he let through, but he moved the puck well with just one giveaway. Then he showed leadership by going after the captain of the San Jose Sharks for a cross-check of a teammate in the front of the net he protects for the Los Angeles Kings.
Justin Williams
Justin Williams had an assist to go with the only two goals that gave either team a lead in this game. He also got four of five shot attempts on goal and added two hits with just one giveaway, doing all this damage to the San Jose Sharks in just over 14 minutes of ice time—only two more than the penalty minutes he accrued.
Anze Kopitar
Anze Kopitar scored the two insurance goals and had the secondary assist on the game-winning goal. All three of his shot attempts were on net and while he had two giveaways, he also had two blocks and won nine of 17 faceoffs while leading all forwards on both teams with 20:40 ice time.

The Career Center was a great resource in preparing me for my interview. Doing a mock interview helped me gain confidence that I would have been lacking otherwise. They gave me excellent tips on how to dress, act, and what to say, as well as advice on questions to ask. When it came time for my interview, I impressed not only the interviewer, but also myself. I have had a great summer working at my internship and I give a great deal of credit the Career Center for helping me in the process. When it comes time to prepare for graduation, I will definitely utilize the resources at the career center!

Dabeilou Temple (late 20th century onward)
Dabeilou is a modern interpretation of a traditional temple. Of the three main halls, two are under construction and one is newly built. The largest hall, which will sit in the middle, does not yet even have a foundation. The complex is called Tanchanlin and is being built with the cooperation of the architecture school at Tsinghua University in Beijing. The halls have concrete foundations and brick walls in places, but they also have traditional wood and tile roofs and the yard, when photographed, was full of huge tree trunks that will be used as the support pillars for the roof of the large central hall.

St. Jude, Volcano back in court over patent squabble
Three days after fending off a patent suit from St. Jude Medical ($STJ), Volcano ($VOLC) is taking the device giant back to court in a countersuit.
St. Jude filed the first action, suing Volcano in 2010 on claims that the company violated its patents related to heart diagnostic tools. On Friday, a federal jury found against St. Jude, and now the two parties will endure a second jury trial to determine whether St. Jude infringed on three Volcano patents, Bloomberg reports.
In their opening statements, Volcano's attorney asserted that the company invented the technology used in arterial diagnostic devices, while St. Jude's lawyer claimed his client is "a true innovator" that revolutionized heart devices on its own merits, according to Bloomberg. The trial is scheduled at least through this week.
After Friday's ruling, Volcano's shares jumped about 12%, peaking at $29.88 on Monday morning before evening out at around $28.50 by 11 a.m. ET. St. Jude is expected to appeal the earlier dismissal as it battles the countersuit.

Disability Legal Services of Indiana, Inc. (DLSI), a newly formed Indiana nonprofit organization based in Indianapolis, is now accepting applications for representation. DLSI was formed in response to a concern over the lack of affordable legal representation for adults and children with disabilities, particularly in the area of education law. In an effort to meet this area of need, DLSI will provide free and low cost legal services to adults and families of children with disabilities in matters of special education, probate, and disability law compliance.
DLSI's primary area of service is the representation of children and adults with disabilities in education matters. The Indiana Department of Education reports that over 179,000 children are currently eligible for special education services. It is vital that these children receive appropriate special education services to enable them to lead productive and independent lives as adults. When faced with concerns about appropriate special education services for their children, parents often feel overwhelmed and have few places to turn for assistance. Legal services can be costly, and are beyond the reach of most families. DLSI aims to make legal representation affordable and attainable for those families who fall within its economic guidelines.
DLSI also provides services in the areas of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance, Section 504 compliance, guardianship, and estate planning. These services will be provided for free or at low cost pursuant to the economic guidelines.
Another service provided by DLSI involves community education. DLSI is committed to helping people with disabilities, and those who love and work with them, to understand what their rights are and where to access resources. DLSI is happy to network with other organizations, and will consider presenting an educational seminar upon request.
For more information, to volunteer or support DLSI, or to apply for representation please visit www.disabilitylegalservicesindiana.org.

Drift as Adaptation: Foster Care and Homeless Careers

Tension between policies mandating permanency planning and those requiring treatment in the least restrictive setting leaves many children labeled seriously emotionally disturbed, drifting through placements. An ethnographic study of boys in a residential treatment center in Central Texas suggests that the overrepresentation of former out-of-home care youth among the long-term homeless population may be viewed as the continuation into adulthood of a pattern of drift that began earlier while in out-of-home care. A close-up view of 12 residents of a residential treatment center suggests that forces of drift are more powerful than caseworkers and youth. Implications for policy and practice aimed at breaking the pattern are discussed.

You're going to be switching to gin martinis (we swear) after trying the exquisite spirit that is G'Vine Gin de France ($39). Forget traditional grains, G'Vine is the first gin to be distilled from a grape extract and botanical infusions. The result is a more delicate, spicy taste with a finish that doesn't burn. The best gin we've ever tasted, but what else can you expect from the people who gave us French kissing?

What is the maximum vertical distance between the line $y = x + 20$ and the parabola $y = x^2$ for $−4 ≤ x ≤ 5?$
What steps do I take to solve this? Do I have to use the distance formula and what do I do with the points it gave me?
If anyone could just bounce me in the right direction that would be neat. I can probably work an answer from there!
Also what's the distance formula to use here?

Comments about Herb Pharm Pharma Kava, 1 fl oz:
First of all, let me say that this thing tastes absolutely awful. I mix it with some natural flavorings, sweeten it with stevia to make it a little more palatable. You'll have to experiment with both, the dosage and masking the flavor. If you absolutely can't stand the taste, you might want to try them in pill form, though I don't know how effective these are in capsules. I take two droppers full, swish it around my mouth (I've heard enzymes in our mouth activate the kavalactones). I'll feel a numbing sensation in my mouth and then you start feeling more relaxed. If I take too much, I will feel groggy.

After their arrest in the Town of Oras, Eastern Samar last Saturday, Cedric Lee and Zimmer, two of the seven accused in the mauling of actor TV host Vhong Navarro are said to be arraigned at the sala of Judge Paz Esperanza Cortez of the Taguig Regional Trial Court tomorrow morning, April 29. As you all know, Cedric and his co-accused are facing serious illegal detention case filed by Vhong Navarro, but unfortunately, the alleged mastermind is also facing tax case filed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue or BIR and it was reported on ABS-CBN News this evening, April 28, 2014.
This tax case is another challenge to Cedric Lee because the bureau is claiming that he is not paying taxes regularly. The bureau decided to file the case against him on March 27 when his firm, Izumo Contractors, allegedly evaded tax payments for four years amounting to Php194.47M.
Before these issues came out, some observers say Cedric Lee is living a comfortable life because of his businesses and connections to the government and private individuals, but according o them, things have changed when he met Deniece Cornejo. Allegedly, he and his group met at Deniece's condominium unit last Jan. 22, just a few hours before the mauling incident happened.
Based on the narration of Tony Calvento with Buzz Ng Bayan host Boy Abunda last Sunday, Jed Fernandez informed him that Cedric convinced them (his group) to teach Vhong a lesson. Tony did not give any detailed explanation for Jed's declaration, but according to some observers who are following this mauling incident, the actor's previous visit at Deniece's condominium unit was one of the reasons why Cedric got mad at him.
In an interview with Maan Macapagal, one of the ace reporters of ABS-CBN, Cedric denied the "Oplan Bugbog" and diverted the issue to Vhong Navarro.

John Hoffmire: A tale of two cities in northern Mexico: One has a murderous history and one is fairly calm
Raymundo Ruiz, Associated Press
Mario Alejandro Mercado Mendoza completed the vast majority of the work on this column.
This is a tale of two development models used by northern Mexican cities. Both of them are located in the state of Chihuahua; one of them can be considered a success and the other, although it had a recent turnaround, has seen a bitter and brutal chapter of its history unfold during the last decade. Our working assumption is that business is good for cities. However, government must function effectively if businesses, and thus cities, are going to thrive.
The city of Chihuahua is devoted to manufacturing. It has the third largest GDP per capita of any city in the country. Of its currently employed population, 77 percent have a bachelor's degree. By 2011, up to 17 percent of Mexico's exports were manufactured in the state of Chihuahua. Of these, 18.3 percent were produced in the city of Chihuahua. Also, the city received $853 million in foreign investment in one recent year.
The other city is Ciudad Juarez. This city's exports comprise 78.1 percent of the total exports produced in the state of Chihuahua. This figure represents annual exports of $33 billion in manufactured goods; four of every 10 employed people work in manufacturing. Additionally, Ciudad Juarez received $8.2 billion in foreign investment during 2011. It is a city so industrialized that according to dailyfinance.com, before the 2008 economic crisis, it had more factory jobs than Detroit and Atlanta combined.
Ciudad Juarez, a city that once was catalogued as the most dangerous city on earth, with a murder rate of 200 per 100,000 people, has dealt with devastating drug-related violence and the mysterious recent raping and killing of more than 500 women. Furthermore, by July 2010, the overall death toll had climbed to 6,000 people in about five years, which is more than the number of coalition troops killed who fought in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan combined.
The key question about Ciudad Juarez is: how is it possible that a city with such a high economic profile can suffer from such dreadful conditions? What went wrong with its development program? While the situation is complex, it seems clear that this mess was partly due to failures in the execution of the city's urban programs, as well as failure to elaborate suitable measures for the city's fast-changing conditions.
Lack of planning is by no means a complete explanation of the issues at hand. As a matter of fact, both cities have a long tradition of urban planning. Ciudad Juarez's first urban plan dates from 1956, and so the question remains, what went wrong?
We know that in the 1970s, both of these cities experienced a demographic explosion. Ciudad Juarez's boom was noticeably bigger; this was the consequence of the Borderline Industrialization Program, the government plan that enabled in-bond maquila factories to obtain privileged conditions. The manufacturing sector became, by far, the dominant economic force in the city, creating jobs for up to 50 percent of the working population. Suddenly, people began immigrating from other cities and from agricultural areas to Ciudad Juarez.
Consequently, population more than quadrupled between 1960 and 2000, with the biggest growth coming in the mid-1990s following the approval of the North Atlantic Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). This accelerated growth had consequences; the city didn't have the resources to create new urban zones with basic services. As a result, new settlers squatted on land surrounding the city, creating sub-urbanized slums. Up to 50 percent of the streets weren't paved years later. These areas lacked lighting, water, sewer systems, police stations and schools.

William and Harry engage in a moment of sibling rivalry, before joining the Duchess of Cambridge for the athletics.
20:26, UK, Tuesday 29 July 2014
The Duke of Cambridge and his brother Prince Harry proved they were not immune to a bit of sibling rivalry as they jostled for a football during a kick about in Glasgow.
The pair joined youngsters for a game of five-a-side football at the city's Gorbals Leisure Centre with Harry's team emerging the victors with a 1-0 win.
"They were saying they were rubbish but they're not too bad," one spectator said.
Harry also practised his left hook and got physical sparring with some of the programme's boxing apprentices at a coaching session in the host city.
While her husband showed off his ball skills, the Duchess of Cambridge met athletes at a reception for the charity Sports Aid - which she is a patron of.
The Royals also visited the athletes village at the Commonwealth Games and met some of the stars of Team Scotland.
They were shown around the purpose-built complex - which includes furniture and fittings from the London 2012 Olympics.
Later on, the Royals were back in the stands at Hampden Park for a second day at the Glasgow 2014 games after enjoying the gymnastics and boxing on Monday.

With every new year come new resolutions. We may promise our loved ones that we will exercise more and eat less or make some other unrealistic promise. Even the government makes annual changes. Only, government resolutions become the law. Although ignorance of the law is never an acceptable excuse, CNN reports that the government gave us 40,000 new laws for 2014.
For instance, the new year brings legal marijuana, transgender protection, health insurance, and making sure vending machines provide labels for consumers to ignore. The largest change arrives in the form of required health insurance, or what we know as "Obamacare."
In 2014, all American must obtain health insurance or pay a fine to the government. Then you have minimum wage increases in thirteen states and laws prohibiting employers from requesting their employees social media passwords. The government has also addressed drone usage in Illinois. In Rhode Island, employers can no longer ask if a potential employee has a criminal background.
Read more about these new laws at the CNN website.

The iHeartRadio Music Festival announced a fourth extraordinary year of genre-bending music with the July 23 announcement of the event's 2014 lineup. And with an exceptional roster of music luminaries that includes One Direction, Ed Sheeran, Lorde, Mötley Crüe and many others, it might be easier to list the handful of artists that won't be at the Sep. 19-20 Las Vegas happening.
No one knows the incredible collective star power of the lineup better than festival host Ryan Secrest. "These artists are all at the top of their game," Seacrest said in a statement. "They do this for a living; they're doing it every night on tour – but they also know that the other artists that are doing it are there and will be watching. So they try and change it up, amp it up a little. All eyes are on them."
The 2014 edition will be more of the once-in-a-lifetime same as concertgoers will witness the music industry's best, literally from A…Ariana Grande…to Z… Zac Brown Band. In addition to the dazzling artists previously mentioned, fans at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino can expect performances from Nicki Minaj, Paramore, Train, Calvin Harris, Bastille, Steve Aoki and a few surprise artists.
"Year after year the iHeartRadio Music Festival continues to deliver an unprecedented music experience for millions of fans nationwide," added Seacrest. "I couldn't be more excited to be part of it. The adrenaline-pumping performances by pop stars and legendary artists alike, the never-seen-before collaborations, the energy of the fans and the artists, this is truly an event like no other."
With such a diverse array of artists, fans can expect some mind-boggling collaborations. Just try to wrap your head around Swift sharing a mic with Mötley Crüe's Vince Neil. And many of the artists have recently released new albums (Coldplay's Ghost Stories and Ed Sheeran's X) or are due for one (Swift in the fall).
In addition to the astounding music, the Sin City happening will feature an iHeartRadio Music Festival Village featuring live performances by Iggy Azalea, Neon Trees, Kacey Musgraves, Childish Gambino, Magic!, the Pretty Reckless, Lil Jon and more. The Village also include fan zones and interactive experiences with brand partners.

Sun Inns Hotel Kuala Selangor
Kuala Selangor is a quiet town at the river mouth of the Selangor river - a great place for a back-to-nature holiday away from the ever bustling and stressful city life, a place where one can spend quality time with his family. It is also an ideal place for company seminars, meetings and brainstorming sessions.
The romantic fireflies is the biggest attraction of Kuala Selangor. There are only 3 places in the world that have fireflies sanctuaries - Kampung Kuantan in Malaysia, Brazil and caves in New Zealand, but only the fireflies in Kampung Kuantan are synchronized when they twinkle, producing a synchonised, rhythmic flashing, making the berembang trees flickering like Christmas trees which arguably is one of the best sights in the world.

STANFORD, Calif. -- John Hochstatter gets the ball for game two of the three-game series against visiting Washington State Saturday afternoon on Pac-12 Networks. The Cardinal is looking to clinch the series after winning game one, 5-2.
Stanford (25-22) benefited from an excellent outing from freshman Cal Quantrill, who worked eight innings, while allowing only one earned run.
The lineup was led by Alex Blandino's two RBI and a towering two-run home run by Zach Hoffpauir in the sixth inning. Hoffpauir takes a career-best nine-game hitting streak into today's game, while Austin Slater is also on the best run of his career with an 11-game streak. Blandino has hit safely in eight straight games and reached in 17 in a row.

If you haven't noticed how popular the family of Titan Media has become in the last year we suggest you take a second look.
With the hands down hottest exclusives currently in the gay porn industry, Titan has trampled the competition in producing astonishing films with sizzling hot, unforgiving sex.
Let's first dish about Victor Banda. He is the newest and the youngest exclusive to ever be signed by the studio being a tender 22 years old. Sound sweet? Oh he is a sweet boy, but has an even sweeter bottom. In his first film Broiler he earnestly (and bravely) takes Arpad Miklos' cock (in both his ass and mouth) like a champ. Originally from Spain, this Titan exclusive is all man and is a sight to behold check out his newest movie H20 out now!
Now if you're watching H20 and you think you're seeing Victor Banda in too many scenes – again take another look. That's not Victor, instead it is Damien Crosse, his American-born twin. Damian is yet another Titan exclusive although he is not Victors real-life twin, the guys at Titan say that they might possibly play-up the resemblance of looks in an incestuous type flick. Yummy, I can't wait for that one – two hot uncut boys that look like brothers, what more could you ask for?
If you need that question answered I gleely respond with François Sagat. If you have been out of the loop he is no longer with the other studio, instead he signed with Titan. Sagat, an Adonis in his own right, is arguably the biggest thing that has happened to porn in years. Sporting a symmetrical tattooed head, as much as intimidating and dominating as he looks don't let it fool you. Usually a bottom in his movies, Sagat can go from a submissive cock-sucker to a domineering muscle bottom. Sagat can also be seen in the new movie H20 as well as Breathless and Folsom Filth.
Yes, these boys are all uncut and brown but if that isn't your cup of tea, may we suggest Dean Flynn who is also a brand new Titan exclusive. This trimmed white boy currently calls New York home but his all-American looks give him that Mid-Western, corn-fed appearance – yummy again!
All in all Titan has pound-for-pound the hottest boys out there and rightfully so, with being in business for over a decade Bruce Cam and team know what they are doing.

Buntings and New World Sparrows (Emberizidae)
Peruvian Sierra-finch (Phrygilus punensis) - HBW 16, p. 606
French: Phrygile du Pérou
German: Punaämmerling
Spanish: Yal Peruano
Other common names: Peruvian Hooded Sierra-finch
Taxonomy: Phrygilus punensis Ridgway, 1887, Lake Titicaca basin, Peru and Bolivia.
Molecular-genetic studies indicate that genus belongs in tanager family (Thraupidae). Present species may form a superspecies with P. atriceps, P. gayi and P. patagonicus (the "hooded" group), and molecular data suggest that this group may be closely related to Sicalis. Sometimes considered conspecific with P. gayi, which it resembles in appearance, but may be more closely related to P. atriceps. Two subspecies recognized.
Subspecies and Distribution:
- chloronotus Berlepsch & Stolzmann, 1896 - N & C Peru (from Cajamarca S to Cuzco).
- punensis Ridgway, 1887 - S Peru (Puno) and NW Bolivia (La Paz).

Magazine of the painting blogosphere.
Jonathan Chapline and Lorraine Nam visit the studio of painter Michael Aitken.
Asked about his process Aitken remarks that "a lot of the paintings are begun intuitively. I'd say by about one third of the way in, I'll make a move that decides the direction of the piece, and from there I'll pull in imagery from different sources, often other paintings in the room or things I've been looking at that week. A few weeks ago I went to the Met to see a Matisse show and spent hours staring at View of Notre Dame. I've been thinking about that painting a lot since. It's made it into a couple of recent paintings. I think you were the one who picked out the windows of public transportation in some of my work. I hadn't thought about it before you brought it up but now it's clear. Besides being a long-standing trope in the tradition of easel painting, I think working windows into my paintings is largely a result of working in a windowless basement space."

In a multi-agency operation involving the Department of Homeland Security, the Lawton Police Department, and the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, more than a handful of Ft. Sill Soldiers found themselves on the wrong side of the law this week.
The sting, meant to uncover human trafficking and rescue victims of prostitution, only lasted 48 hours, but netted 3 pimps, 9 prostitutes, and 13 johns. The exact number of Ft. Sill Soldiers arrested was not released by any of the agencies.
The growing prostitution problem in and around military bases has only gotten worse in recent years with online ads on sites such as Backdoor.com and the ever popular Craigslist.org.
According to KSWO-TV in Oklahoma, the operation dubbed "Pretty Woman Three" was the third such sting in an ongoing operation. Undercover agents acted as both "clients and escorts to tackle all sides of the crime."
Spokesperson for Ft. Sill, Lieutenant Colonel Rory Crooks released a statement yesterday on behalf of the post.
"We have some Soldiers whose actions do not reflect the values of our profession."
In a message to the general community, to include the large Army post, all agencies involved said they are planning ongoing operations to stem this type of illegal activity.

One Direction Say Twitter Helped Them Crack USA
It's well known that 1D are a right bunch of Tweeters, and as it stands right now (23:10pm GMT), the boys have this many followers:
- Harry: 2,510,571
- Zayn: 2,154,419
- Niall: 2,096,670
- Louis: 2,049,644
- Liam: 1,954,813
They're some pretty big numbers!
Liam Payne has spoke about he thinks the site has helped them gain so many worldwide fans in such a short space of time, saying: "Twitter has been a major factor in getting our name in the States. Just as Twitter has gone up, so we have, too. They've gone hand in hand."
His shock at the instant USA success was exaggerated by them being told it would take years of touring to crack the country, and he said: "Our tour manager told us it would take three years of hard graft to do well in America… so for it to have taken off as it has is incredible."
Listen to Liam talk more about their road to stardom below:
The One Direction boys have also released their latest VEVO Lift video, and you catch them at the Natick Mall signing from a couple of weeks back, where if you remember correctly it all went a bit mental!

Are you looking for a stock?
Try one of these
Canadian Pacific Railway (CP-T) Chief Executive Fred Green struck back against William Ackman on Wednesday by insisting that the activist investor has no concrete plan to make the rail operator more efficient.
Ackman's Pershing Square Capital Management wants to replace Green with former Canadian National Railway (CNR-T) CEO Hunter Harrison. Pershing hosted a town hall-style meeting with investors and media in Toronto on Monday to build support for his proposals to shake up CP.
"Pershing Square continues to offer no plan or clear timetable for the improvement of CP's operations," Green wrote in a letter to employees.
Green argued that CP has been making progress on its own plan to boost performance.
Green also addressed Ackman's criticism of its 2008 acquisition of U.S. Class II railroad DM&E. On Monday Pershing called the deal a mistake, made at a high valuation with "irresponsible financing."
"The acquisition of the DM&E brought in a team of top-level railroaders and, most importantly, further extended the reach of CP into the U.S. Midwest, a vital part of our network," said Green.

We have access to infiniband and ethernet communication on a supercomputing system. Could you suggest which mode of communiciation would be preferable for running Glide jobs?
Glide splits the overall job into several independent subjobs that can run simultaneously. Since each subjob proceeds with very little network activity, the performance is not expected to be network bound, and hence an ethernet network will be just fine for Glide.

11/24/2010 Freedom Watch w/ Ben Powell, Veronique de Rugy, Arthur Brooks, Yaron Brook, more
Here is the Thanksgiving Eve version of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
Here is the Thanksgiving Eve version of Freedom Watch with Judge Napolitano.
Re: Selfishness. Everyone is selfish. Even Mother Theresa did what she did because SHE wanted to do it. Sounds selfish to me. To be truly unselfish people must do what they don't want to do. But even then why would they do something they don't want to do? Because they want to avoid being selfish. So they are still doing what they (selfishly) want to do.
If an altruist passes a beggar on the street the altruist must give the beggar at least enough money so that they both have an equal amount, otherwise the altruist is being selfish.
If an altruist encounters a person who needs a kidney he must donate one of his own.
If an altruist encounters a person who needs a heart replacement and his is suitable but he doesn't give it to the needy person, who is the altruist most concerned about, the needy person or himSELF?
If an altruist speaks he is expressing HIS own thought because he (selfishly) wants to.
I think it was Ayn Rand (whom Skinner derides) that said to be truly altruistic all you can do is shut up and die.
Re: Social Security
I would like to ask Skinner, "Do you think theft is OK, yes or no?" She cannot possibly hold the views she does without answering "yes".
She is incredibly ignorant. She says she wants to be able to put a little money into the SS ponzi scheme so that she will have something at the end of her life. HELLO! That's called SAVINGS! And we could all do it if the government would let us keep the the fruits of our labor. Everything the government does was once done by free enterprise. Then the thugs came along, took over everything, and convinced people like Skinner (through their propaganda machine, the schools) that it couldn't be any other way. I would wager there were FEWER people in poverty before government tried to eradicate it and that people were BETTER educated before the government co-opted education.
Keep up your great work, Judge. You are a hero and role model.
We don't need any new social or commune-ism, we tried that already, and we've had the evidence it doesn't work, from the very beginning. Russians and Germans now know that it sucks. Now it's just the Latin Americans that need to figure it out for themselves, and reject it.
The French woman stresses the pint that the French socialist government is financially heavily in the red, and what, the US capitalist government isn't?? Is she crazy.
Razza, the US govt. is in the red precisely because of it's socialist tendencies, just like the French. You make the mistake of thinking our government is capitalist. Per the Constitution, our government CANNOT be capitalist, nor can it be Socialist, as these are economic systems that our government should not engage in. The Constitution does not support a government that seeks to maximize it's own profit, nor does it authorize a government that seeks to redistribute wealth. You simply do not understand the proper role of government.
Hey Judge. Are you not going to post the show you did on the 25th. THAT'S the one I've been waiting to comment on.
iOS (iPhone/iPad) friendly video links please!!!!!!
And for the same reason–overgrown entitlement programs. In America we also suffer the Military Industrial complex, the burden of empire
iPhone friendly video links please! Why does this website not care about mobile users??
Hi Rod,
I like what you said about selfishness. I think you were sort of echoing something I think Ayn Rand said. I think that comes from The Virtue of Selfishness.
But yeah, the social security thing looks like a mess. I guess one thing I can say is that, for one of these programs, there were a lot more workers than retirees when the program started. But now, the ratio of workers to retirees has decreased. I can't remember if it's for SS or something else, but regardless, it's a key factor behind this mess.
I guess everyone is selfish in some way or the other, it is just that only when we see it in others, do we get peeved. It is easier to forgive our own selfish action than it is to forgive others'. "Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without in himself" – Henry Ward Beecher

Our Gulf is in crisis
The oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico has been called an existential crisis: simply put, a lie-and-death catastrophe. With its water poisoned, parts of it are dying. It is a hard and harsh truth that if the planet dies, its inhabitants die. So, what can the average person do?
One choice is to lay blame at others' steps and missteps. These actions are relatively easy and require little action, change or accountability on the part of the accuser. Blaming others ultimately offers the world little hope for something better.
Another choice to seek solutions actively and take actions for the good of all. Each of us in our lives each day creates our own little oil spills that can harm the earth. We may be unable to plug the oil leak, but we can affect our own environments. We may not be able to affect the Gulf crisis, but we can do something. The combined efforts of many can stop many kinds of harmful spills and flows.
We can go beyond blame and take positive steps with our piece of the environment.

Jianshan Natural Scenery Reserve has an elevation of 497.7 meters, occupying 287 hectares. It is famous for the forest and lake mountain view. There are seven scenic spots: Jianshan Lake, Nongtuan Mountain, Native Place of Ludeming at Lion Bay, Yong'an Ancient Town, Kaihou Palace, Hele Temple and Golden Silver Lake.
Jianshan Natural Scenery Reserve was built in 1955 and was given the name in 1986. The Jianshan Lake is 18 meters deep and 38 hectares wide. Under the azure sky with white clouds scudding slowly by the hills there look very much like emerald hairpins or jadeite bamboo shoots while the peaks the tufts of hair or green snail. The water surface round the spot is smooth as a mirror and so the reflections in the water seem to be more crystal-clear and charming.
Feeling the breeze in the branches, one is filled with content and reluctant to tear himself away from such a scene.
Walking on the red cobbled path, 5 kms, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the willow beside the lake and appreciate stone inscription. In the third lunar month in spring, it is worth coming to watch the charming peach blossoms, for there is a peach garden which is 4 hectares with more than 10,000 peach trees in it. Jianshan is also an ideal summer resort. And in the fall and winter, Jianshan can also give you the pleasure of finding and tasting the wild fruits in the forest.
Solo Adventure Tips:
How to Get There?
The time that the regular buses leave from the downtown to Jianshan is stable. From March 11th to April 6th, at 8:30、9:00、9:30 in the morning and 4:00、4:30、5:00 in the afternoon, there are altogether six buses every day. During weekends (from Friday to Sunday) they will add some lines. You can also take a taxi for your trip, which will cost you 30 Yuan also.
Ticket Price:
Opening Hours:
More Tips:
1. The best season to Jianshan is spring and summer, because it is famous for its flowers, especially the peach flowers. When the Jianshan annual peach blossom affair comes, a wide variety of wild flowers can seen anywhere except peach blossoms. 2. The accommodation is very convenient, you can either go back to Zigong or stay in the local hotel to enjoy the farming life. 3. In Jianshan scenic resort, you can taste a lot of delicious food, such as condensed bean surd jelly, cured meat and all kinds of pickles. And if you like, you can also go to the tea garden to pick and make tea by yourself.

TC TO JOHN A. CARLYLE; 30 May 1826; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18260530-TC-JAC-01; CL 4:e6.
Scotsbrig, Tuesday night [30 May 1826]
My Dear Jack,
I got your letter on monday; and I need not tell you that the contents of it gratified me not a little. You must have had a busy time of it lately; taking houses, and getting degrees! Let us be thankful that things wear so fair an aspect and have hitherto turned out so well. I doubt not but we shall all by and by be wonderfully comfortable.
I gratified all hands here, as I myself had been, by informing them of your first step towards graduation. "Not of works, lest we should boast!" the Apostle says;1 but really it is fair enough to go thro' so handsomely, without aid from any grinder or honer2 whatever, but purely by one's own resources. For the rest, doubt not that your moodiness was temporary; the slackening of the long-stretched cord, when the arrow was shot away: in a day the yew will tighten it again. The world is but beginning for you yet; and it is wide and broad, far beyond what you conjecture. It really is, Jack; tho' in hypochondriacal moments, you will not believe a word of it. Come to me wherever I be, when you have finished; and take plenty of time to consider what your next step must be. While either of us has a home, the other cannot want one.
We are all got over with whole bones to this new country;3 and every soul of us, our mother to begin with, much in love with it. The house is in bad order; but we hope to have it soon repaired; and for farming purposes, it is an excellent "shell of a house." Then we have a linn [waterfall] with crags and bushes, and a "fairy knowe [knoll]" tho' no fairies that I have seen yet; and, cries our Mother, abundance of grand thready peats, and water from the brook, and no reek and no Honour4 to pester us! To say nothing, cries our father, of the eighten yeacre [acre] of the best barley in the country; and bog-hay, adds Alick, to fatten scores of young beasts!
In fact making all allowance for newfangledness, it is a much better place, so far as I can judge, than any our people have yet been in; and among far better and kindlier sort of people. I believe of a truth they will find themselves much obliged to his Honour for persecuting them away. Long life to his Honour! I myself like the place considerably better, tho' I have slept but ill yet, and am billus enough. But I have mounted your old straw-hat again; and fairly betaken me to work; and should, as we say Aberdeen-awa, "be bauld to compleen."
The other day, just on Monday indeed w[ith my] letter in my hand, I met "Wull Eggar" or "Don [Quixote"?]5 of Deerhopes, mounted on a clipt and garnished quadruped, riding with an air of daring enterprise towards Ecclefechan. Laughter had fled from his diaphragm, and he told me at last that he was on his way to Annan, there to set up, in place of Waugh,6 or rather in absence of him. Thus round and round about go we! Poor Waugh is still in the Kings Arms inn; madly in love, they say, and persuaded that the Chambermaid has a mind to do him bodily harm, for reasons to herself best known. Seriously, I wish I could see Waugh: he has no friend on Earth, scarcely any relative; and Heaven knows, I would gladly enough see him act more wisely.
I have had a vile bout with this life of Hoffmann: it is far the worst, and has been far the most troublesome of them all. Henceforth [I hope] to supply M'Cork regularly. Write more at large if you can next time. Alick goes to Whitsuntide fair at Dumfries tomorrow, and this should go with him; and all hands are already sound asleep. I have still another notule to write, which you will not fail to deliver. Good night! I am ever your affe Brother,
Thomas Carlyle.
Is Johnston7 gone? My best wishes to him, if not.

LEE ANN AND ALAN WHITE: "We Get Back Tenfold What We Give"
Lee Ann and Alan White have firsthand experience in supporting and benefiting from philanthropy. It was 20 years ago, during her previous marriage to a Dallas plastic surgeon, that Lee Ann was confronted with the fact that her son Michael was struggling with alcohol and drug abuse. Suddenly she found herself divorced and trying to make ends meet while helping Michael conquer his demons. Then, in 2002, her life changed when she married Alan, a successful Lubbock banker. With Alan joining them on a journey that saw Michael in and out of treatment centers, Lee Ann's son became sober five years ago, thanks to the 12-step program.
Says Lee Ann, a native of Monette, Ark.: "For me, I felt like it was my responsibility to give back and to help other people who suffer with this same type of disease." Her solution was to throw herself into a record-breaking fundraising effort for CARE (Chemical Awareness Resources Education) with Alan by her side.
But that shouldn't surprise anyone. "Alan has been in the banking business for over 30 years, and he's always felt it was very important to give back to the community," Lee Ann says of her husband, who started out as a part-time teller while attending Texas Tech University and eventually founded PlainsCapital Bank.
Since moving the PlainsCapital headquarters from Lubbock to Dallas in 2001, the Whites' involvement in the community has gone beyond financial support. They've provided elbow grease and brainpower for Baylor Medical Center, Dallas Arboretum, Super Bowl XLV, CARE, Crystal Charity Ball, Cattle Baron's, the Laura W. Bush Institute, Texas Tech, and Highland Park Methodist.
Another resource that the Whites bring to their philanthropic endeavors: their connections. Friends like Gene and Jerry Jones and Madeleine and T. Boone Pickens respect and trust Lee Ann and Alan for their knowledge and experience in working with nonprofits.
But philanthropy, the Whites admit, is a two-way street. "It's a learning curve for me," Lee Ann says. "Just like anything else, we get back tenfold what we give."
