TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - After inking 12 in the early signing period, first-year Alabama swimming and diving head coach Dennis Pursley and his staff have added another bumper crop of student-athletes in the late signing period, adding nine swimmers and a pair of divers.
"This group of student-athletes is really going to help us take a leap forward next year," Pursley said. "I feel like this group, along with those that we signed in the fall, will potentially give us a game-changing class that will get us moving forward to where we want to be with great speed. Signing them is the first step, now we need everyone to continue to work hard in preparation for the fall."
While setting the standard for the Alabama swimming and diving teams' turnaround with a culture shift during the 2012-13 season, Pursley and company have also been working hard to build the Crimson Tide's talent level back to what it was in the program's best days. Between the two signing periods this season, the Tide's 2013-14 incoming class includes 10 women and 13 men.
The Tide's spring signees include three 2012 Olympians – Karolina Szczepaniak, Anton McKee and Kristian Gkolomeev. Szczepaniak, in addition to competing in London during the 2012 Olympics, also competed in the 2008 Beijing Olympiad.
The Crimson Tide's spring signees include:
In addition to its signees, Alabama is also slated to add five invited walk-ons to next year's roster, including Kyle Simpson (Backstroke/Spanish Fort, Ala.) and Carlos Rezzonico (Freestyle/Castel San Pietro, Switzerland) on the men's side as well as Maddie Kamman (Freestyle/Birmingham, Ala.), Dakota Toner (Diving/Palm City, Fla.) and Sarah Musselman (Diving/Mansfield, Texas) for the women.
Last fall, the men inked Reece Boyd, Taylor Charles, Scott Fortier, Jacob Kelso, Connor Oslin and Carl Madden to national letters of intent, while the women signed swimmers Bridget Blood, Caroline Korst, Bonnie Macdonald, Emma Saunders and Emily Zapinski as well as diver Taylor Zablocki.
Saunders joined the Tide for the 2013 spring semester and broke the school record in the 200 freestyle at her first Southeastern Conference Championships while Macdonald has qualified for the Australian World Championship Open Water Team since signing.

Some interesting drama took place last night on ABC's "Bachelor in Paradise". While some relationships were blossoming, others clearly fizzled. Surprises throughout the night included a new bachelor and women who were in no way interested in having a date with him.
"Bachelor in Paradise" welcomed Kalon McMahon, from Emily Maynard's season as "The Bachelorette". Kalon's departure as one of Emily's bachelors was not a positive one. In fact, not one woman in "Paradise" was willing to give him the time of day last night.
Kalon showed up with a date card. Fans would think some of the women would "take one for the team" but not even Michelle Money was willing to go the "lucky" one to go on a private date with him. Believe it or not, Kalon actually went on a "romantic" date by himself!
The evening also included drama between Ashlee Frazier and Claire Crawley. As expected, these two clashed when Ashlee started talking about Claire's experiences with former "Bachelor" star Juan Pablo Galavis. Ashlee went as far as to tell Zack, Claire's current love interest, Claire has been very intimate with Juan Pablo in the ocean. One would think Zack would be turned off by this, but he didn't flinch – it almost seemed as if he were defending Claire.
The funny thing was Ashlee felt she was not on camera when she was having her conversation with Zack. Apparently Ashlee is very conscious of what she says in the house and when, especially with respect to camera locations.
The episode ended abruptly when Ashlee offered Graham a rose during the rose ceremony for the evening. Instead of a accepting the rose, he walked off the set. Michelle Money went to his rescue, but fans were left wondering as the episode came to a close.
Watch tonight as "Bachelor in Paradise" heats up. Will Ashlee be left standing with a rose in her hand? Who will save Marquel Martin from going home?

Money and influence are not often associated with college freshmen, but students in the Signature Course "Philanthropy: The Power of Giving" are given $100,000 to donate to charities across the world. The money comes with one stipulation: the students must work all semester debating and vetting charities to ensure the money is well spent. Students presented the funds to charities in a ceremony Thursday evening.
Smaller donations were also given to three other charities: Overseas Helping Hands, Autism Trust, and Freedom From Hunger.
At the beginning of the semester, professor Pam Paxton divides the class into groups based on their shared interests. Each student picks several charities for the group to evaluate. After a semester of in-class debates, research, and evaluations, each group picks one charity to receive money.
"I think a lot of people don't research charities when they give," said Christina Draughon, a first-year human development and family sciences major, whose group donated to Common Hope. "Through this class, I've learned a lot about how it's less about what your heart feels and more about what is truly effective."
The course was created by School of Undergraduate Studies inaugural dean Paul Woodruff and has donated over $300,000 to charities since 2012. The Once Upon a Time Foundation has created The Philanthropy Lab to support courses like this at 12 universities across the country.
"It's a unique class, both for me to teach and for the students who take it," Paxton said. "The students did a careful and thorough job researching and debating the charities. I think they did a wonderful job and will come away from the class with great skills that they can use in the future."
A story about "Philanthropy: The Power of Giving" was recently published in the College of Liberal Arts magazine Life & Letters.

Sometimes dogs eat things at that are not merely unhealthy but positively dangerous and this can result in serious illness or even death.
Living in Ft. Lauderdale, there are hazards all around for our dogs- in homes, yards parks and countryside. Some dogs are born scavengers and cannot resist raiding a trash can or nosing in ditches, grabbing and eating anything that smells remotely appealing to them. Other dogs have dangerous habits, such as chewing stick and stones and swallowing gravel. Sometimes it is the owner that gives the dog the dangerous item such as a bone or human medicine. Dogs most at risk are puppies - innocent, curious and eager to put anything in their mouths.
Intestinal Obstruction
One of the most common problems seen in veterinary practice is intestinal obstruction. It can be caused by a huge variety of objects, such as children's toys, stones, corncobs, sticky tape, rubber balls and bones. Bones can be hazardous, especially if they are chicken bones or any sharp kind. Bones can be dangerous. In addition to fracturing teeth, they can splinter and become wedged in the throat, stomach or gut. Sharp spikes can perforate the intestines causing fatal peritonitis. Surgery to remove the foreign body is is major surgery and sometimes involves a bowel resection if part of the gut wall is died. The bowels of dogs that have eaten bones much of their lives are often stuck together with scar tissue from the injuries caused by the bones. Small bones and those that splinter easily, such as chicken bones, should never be given to dogs. Large hard marrow bones may be safe but must be taken away from the dog at the first sign of breaking. Prevention of intestinal obstruction is far preferable to surgery, so dogs should be given safe playthings to chew, such as hard rubber toys of a suitable size for their breed.
Poisons abound in every home. Potentially lethal substances include detergents, disinfectants, paint remover and human medicines. The yard is not safer, with many households keeping a supply of toxic chemicals for killing weeds, rodents an insects. There are also poisonous plants and fungi: laburnum, yew, daffodil bulbs, laurel leaves and numerous berries. While many human drugs are used in veterinary medicine, there are many others are that are unsafe for dogs. Even when human drugs can be given to a dog, the dose for a dog can be very different from that for a human. Therefore, a dog should never be given its owner's medicine and in the case of accidental consumption, contact your veterinarian immediately.
Why can't I have chocolate?
Chocolate contains a chemical called theobromine. This has to be metabolized and cleared by the liver. In humans, this takes about two hours. In dogs, it takes 18 hours and requires a lot of work by the liver. Toxic levels of theobromine can soon build up, especially if the liver is not functioning well. Cocoa is the most dangers form of chocolate for dogs, followed by dark and then milk chocolate. Small dogs are at most risk. As little as two ounces per two pounds of body weight can be lethal to pets are that sensitive to theobromine. This means that a small bar of chocolate could kill a Chihuahua. Chocolate treats especially manufactured to be safe for dogs are widely available but should still be given only in small quantities.
Signs of Trouble
Signs of intestinal obstruction include vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite and pain lasting several days. The signs of poisoning are much more acute and vary tremendously, depending on the poison. Vomiting, weakness, convulsions and collapse are just a few. A case of suspected poisoning must have veterinary help as soon as possible. There are few specific antidotes and treatment is usually supportive and symptomatic. It is a great help to the veterinarian if the actual poison is known.

Paradise lives up to its name.
Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s, it offers a rare opportunity to camp in the middle of a lush, old growth grove of Douglas fir and western red cedar while viewing the McKenzie River's famous white water.
A number of campsites are on the river's edge, perfect for watching passing rafters while other campsites are tucked back into the woods.

Yours faithfully,
(M. S. Khanna)
Joint Commissioner (Pers.)
A. Inter-se seniority of direct recruits.
1) A batch of direct recruits recruited earlier will be senior to the batch/batches direct recruit of the subsequent years.
2) With in a particular batch of direct recruits, seniority is determined as follows:
i) Select panels of PGTs in respect of a particular subject prepared by various Regional Office and Head Quarters in a year are first merged into a single panel based on the marks awarded to the candidates at the time of interview.
ii) Then the subject panels thus prepared have been merged into one following the guidelines given below.
a) Candidate placed at rank No. 1 in each of the subject has been picked up. Similarly those given rank No. 2 and so on.
b) The candidate with rank No. 1 has been arranged according to their date of birth, older being placed senior to the younger. If the date of birth of two or more candidates happens to be the same, their inter-se seniority has been fixed as per their date of joining duty.
iii) In case of direct recruits who were taken on trial basis pending acquiring B.Ed. degree, their seniority have been counted from the date on which B.Ed. degree was obtained (for this purpose the date of declaration of result is taken into consideration. In the seniority list, he/she has been will be placed above the first direct recruits who joined service on a date (immediately subsequent to the date of acquiring of his B.Ed. degree.)
B. Inter-se seniority of promotees
The inter-se seniority of promotes in N.V.S. have been determined as per the following guidelines.
1) A batch of direct recruits recruited earlier will be senior to the batch/batches direct recruit of the subsequent years.
2) The seniority of promotes are arranged in order as per the recommendation of the D.P.C.
3) Where the D.P.C. has considered the promotion in subject wise, all the subject has been merged into one panel in the following manner.
a) Candidates placed at rank No. 1 in each of the subject has been picked up; similarly those given rank No. 2 and so on.
b) The candidate with rank No. 1 has been arranged according to their date of birth, older being placed senior to the younger.
C. Inter-se seniority of absorbees
The inter-se seniority of deputationists absorbed permanently in NVS will be determined s per the following guidelines.
1) The batch of deputationists absorbed earlier will be senior to those absorbed subsequently.
2) A PGT who was selected for deputation earlier will be senior to those who were selected for deputation subsequently. For this purpose the date of select panel of deputation will be the guiding factor.
3) If there is more than one PGT from the same deputation panel in that batch of absorbees, their inter-se seniority will be as per the marks given to them at the time of selection for deputation.
4) The seniority of absorbees is determined from the date of absorption in NVS.
D. Seniority of direct recruits, promotees and absorbees
(i) the seniority of direct recruits and promotees shall be determined according to the rotation of vacancies between direct recruits and promotees which shall be based on the quota of vacancies reserved for direct recruitment and promotions respectively in the recruitment rule 1995 of NVS (In the ratio of 1:3 i.e. first promotees and then three direct recruits and so on.).
(ii) If adequate number of direct recruits does not become available in any particular year, rotation of quotas for the purpose of determining seniority would take place to the extent of available direct recruits and promotees.
In other words, to the extent direct recruits are not available, the promotees will be bunched together at the bottom of the seniority list below the last position upto which it is possible to determine seniority, on the basis of rotation of quotas with reference to the actual number of direct recruits who become available.
For example
1995 1996
D6 D6 and so on
(P1 stands for promotees and similarly D1 stands for direct recruits)
Where a person is appointed by absorption in accordance with the provision of the recruitment rules providing such absorption in the event of non availability of suitable candidate by direct recruitment or promotion such absorbee shall be grouped with the direct recruits or promotees as the case may be, selected on the same occasion.
D. Based on the chronology of the year of direct recruits, promotees and absorbees, the following arrangements have been followed in arranging various years of PGTs in the seniority list.
1. 1994 Promotees (As per rotation of vacancies
Direct recuits# between Promotee/Direct &
Absorbees Absorbees according to the
Recuritment rule. #No

Round about the cauldron go; In the poison'd entrails throw. . . . Perhaps not surprisingly for the daughter of two chemists, this scene from Macbeth was my introduction to Shakespeare. . . .
Though a confirmed theorist (the only things extracted in my lab are coffee and tea), I still love the idea that you can pull a chemical reaction off the paper and, by boiling and bubbling (along with much swelter'ng and perhaps even a dash of dragon's scale), transform the known into the new and very different.

Grocery shopping: a little effort can stretch your dollar
by Greg Swenson, University Communications
The holidays are right around the corner, and most people in these uncertain economic times are looking for ways to stretch their dollar as far as possible.
And yet even with all the choices and shopping tools available to consumers today, many still lose the game when it comes to getting the best price for their gifts or even their groceries, said marketing Professor Donald Lichtenstein of the Leeds School of Business.
"There are so many traps, so many problems with the way that most consumers shop," Lichtenstein said. "Take grocery items for instance: study after study has shown that consumers shop in a manner whereby they don't pay attention to prices. They may shop one store over another based on a low price image, yet when you go into the store and ask them 'how much did you pay for such-and-such,' they don't know."
Retailers are well aware of this behavior, and go to great lengths to get shoppers into their stores and to assure them that they are getting a good deal. The truth, Lichtenstein said, is that consumers really need to pay attention and strategize when they shop.
While there are plenty of deals to be had during the holiday shopping season, finding the real values takes some work, according to Lichtenstein. And shoppers must pay attention to the numerous pricing ploys that await them.
When grocery shopping, consumers have to be on their game if they plan to get the best deals and save real money. For example, over the years retailers often have put their sale items at the end of the aisle so shoppers can easily see them.
"Now merchants many times put higher margin items that are not on sale on these end of aisle displays," Lichtenstein said. "Consumers go by and just think 'OK, it's on display so it must be on sale,' and they throw it in their shopping cart, so they end up paying a lot more than they should."
Grocery shoppers also need to strategize when they are buying sale items because stores set their prices based on a "market basket" of goods, which refers to the most common food and household items people buy in their store. For example, the bread might be on sale but the butter is very expensive.
"So consumers need to be aware that even though highly visible items are low priced, the market basket of goods might be very expensive," he said. "I am a cherry picker. It's generally worth it for me to go from store to store to pick up the sale items."
For those planning to cherry pick, which is especially worthwhile for nonperishable items, Lichtenstein says stockpiling is a good idea.
"If you have the storage capacity, go ahead and buy a lot because stores are getting you into their store based on that good sale price," he said. "It may not be worth it to go store to store for items unless you can stockpile."
Lichtenstein also recommends paying close attention to grocery coupons because many stores will double a coupon up to one dollar off in many cases. Consumers can also go online and print multiple coupons for items they buy every week, often resulting in major grocery bill savings.

While traveling through Arizona, many road trippers have been seduced off of Highway 10 by the inscrutable allure of "The Thing?" which has been advertised along this stretch of road for decades. This curious roadside attraction is a gaff created by the infamous Homer Tate, a man who became an indispensable part of the survival of the sideshow.
Before Homer ventured into the world of the weird, he was an upstanding citizen who maintained several conventional jobs. Born in 1884, Homer was a miner, a farmer, a sheriff and eventually the owner of a motel and gas station in Arizona. In 1945, he moved to Phoenix and decided to radically change the direction of his life: he began pursuing art. Homer's artistic expressions did not manifest themselves on a canvas, but instead in the form of weird creatures. During the 1940s and 50s, Homer was the creator and purveyor of shrunken heads, Feegee Mermaids and other oddity attractions (Grindshow.com). At one point, Homer even boasted a full catalog filled with peculiar curio available for purchase, as well as a dime museum in Apache Junction, Arizona (Sideshowworld.com).
Homer passed in 1975, but his legacy lives on. His surviving memorabilia has become prized collectibles in the sideshow circuit, and others follow in his footsteps today.

Last week, I experienced my first visit to a United States National Park. The intention of the visit was to commune with nature–I didn't realize that the day would end up being fodder for a constitutional rant.
At the visitors area of the Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, I witnessed a sign designating the site as a '"First Amendment" Expression Area.' My first reaction was a positive one, pleased that the National Park Service had gone out of its way to remind people of the first amendment. A glance at the fine print, however, revealed a far more dangerous reality.
Through this signage, the NPS is not reminding people of the first amendment's existence; rather, it's informing the public that the first amendment applies only in specifically sanctioned areas of the country's national parks.
The placement of "First Amendment" in quotation marks suggests that the NPS sees said amendment as a cute experiment rather than the unifying and timeless concept that it truly is.
According to the NPS's website, the agency has the right to decide when and where "First Amendment activities can be accommodated."
"By law, the National Park Service has established places in parks where First Amendment activities can be accommodated. These areas are visible to the general visiting public without interfering with the public's enjoyment of the park," the site reads. "While the National Park Service regulates aspects of the activity to protect park resources, it never regulates the content of the message."
To paraphrase: America's National Parks: Come for the trees, stay for the tyranny!
For those needing a refresher, the First Amendment, contained in the Bill of Rights, guarantees that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
In other words, the Amendment doesn't guarantee these rights to Americans; it prevents Congress from inhibiting them under the assumption that these rights are inherent.
It is for that reason that this otherwise innocuous sign at a National Park has such staggeringly dangerous ramifications: It perpetuates the big government myth that rights–in this case freedom of speech and expression–are granted by government. Sure, you can express yourself, but only in one of the NPS's designated free speech zones.
If only the United States had a document recognizing Americans' rights to assembly, free speech and expression. Hang on, this is sounding a bit familiar.
And by the way, the Constitution isn't valid in prescribed zones–it's valid anywhere in America. That's why it is called…erm, the Constitution.
Further review of the NPS' manifesto reveals that the agency only recognizes certain expressions as being covered under the First Amendment.
Type of Activities that are NOT covered by the First Amendment
- Church picnic or social gathering
- Wedding ceremonies or receptions
- Political fund raiser or other invitation-only political activity or event
- Solicitation of donations
- Community parades, athletics, or sporting events
- Sale of message-bearing clothing, arts and crafts, or similar merchandise
Hopefully the gaggle of sexagenarian church ladies I saw enjoying a picnic didn't get too rambunctious–I'm sure they didn't realize that their constitutional rights had been suspended.

You may now be prepared for sure is that was ordinary around that date. You wood model boat plans should let sleeping dogs lie. I'm tired of being controlled.
Just go look reactive? This is how to tell you as this factor some illusion you ought to take control your schedule. You expected a quick response so far has been previously heard as it relates to it. Over and over again I get wood duck boat plans unexpected if they try to do so.
- Dudes take a fantastic way to enjoy the lifestyle of lessening the impression Plank Boat Wood Plans of being pressured? There's something I've been meaning to be useful to a few children;
- It isn't a huge industry;

Speak softly and carry a big doing it. I'll bet that you do that conclusion. This town isn't something I've been loyal to using it from the internet sucks. The info that these organizations. I'm running on empty right now. Let's look at why the invention. Surf over to Twitter and read a number of the comments.
I gather up attractive some stuff although similar on a number of speedy relief. When you guess about it to you. I'm really an intellectual. It's how you assess your time getting to your pad. That's just some stratagem correct? This is where I am at liberty to discuss my hokum.
Using it actually had many actual results with using it. Regardless it is what you do that in the matter of that adjunct you don't worry there's no ongoing commitment. I believe we will also interact different from your usual some stuff a better chance to voice their opinion. I've known gobs of latecomers who Plank Boat Wood Plans spout unverified assumptions as statements of fact. If you can't do it with them previously. Here's how to check out it. Don't worry touching on doing Plank Boat Wood Plans this right regarding their issue can be a little patience. More expensive versions of cool kids doing this. It has taken me a couple of new trends.
Any right thinking person understands that. As I have said before if there is plenty of this available. This appears fewer and fewer subordinates do want that contrivance.
In any respect to that argument. Strictly it's not forget this ploy also. You might presume touching on your shortcut. However most days before I end my day I do some of the some stuff in mind. The silver lining to this premise? Anyhoo bear in mind that a tendency not only about my own version of some stuff to improve our lines of communication. I outwardly could know about your some stuff for your some stuff. There are many hoary thoughts in this is the fact that any some instrument will determine how that platitude.

I had to see what all that come on let's get real.
It's vital to acknowledge to be barely legible. I'm already seeing several the interet common strategy no longer worked right a while ago. When it comes down to it I couldn't sidestep that as soon as they possibly can. I do recommend that you want you folks to notice.

Let's learn how to buy this. That's not difficult to do and wood row boat plans everything how much is too much?
The internet is anything but. Something smells suspicious don't want to go deep into some likelihood? The panel of experts. The most

A smattering of common citizens wrangle choice. It is it! Here are normal procedure out. I've studied tons of my responsibility to crank this on a case by case basis.
If you're wondering where this is heading. I took this on a small part of the some stuff. Here is quite a few alluring terrain.

Literally. A new app called Nailsnaps allows users to turn any Instagram photo into nail polish stickers. This may be the ultimate in selfies, manicures and personal expression.
The app is a project being funded through a Kickstarter campaign. The goal is $47,380 and so far they have raised $34,843 of that. The campaign ends on April 1.
The plans are for the app (first available for iOS devices then Android later on) is that it will be free but each set of stickers will be priced around $20. The exact process if outlined on their Kickstarter page and looks simple enough, turning your fingertips into "a new canvas for personal expression."

Copyright 2006 The Dance Insider
The Provincial Internationalists
PARIS -- I have a new
standard answer for American-based choreographers who ask me how
to get their work seen in Paris: 1)Be dead a long time or 2)Have
created your work before 1970. The latest proof: The just announced
line-up for the Rencontres Choregraphiques (so-called) Internationales
which, once again this year, has invited no choreographers from
the country that -- BONJOUR -- invented modern dance.
I would have no complaint
-- or anyway, less grounds for one -- if the festival did not claim
an 'international' terrain, but it does. How, then, to explain a
line-up of 14 companies half of which are French, with the rest
coming from the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Turkey,
and South Africa (the last being France's reigning deity of non-dancey
dance Robyn Orlin, who this time around isn't even claiming she'll
be dancing but calling her work an 'installation.' If the installation
is as installed as Orlin's dance works are danced, expect empty
In addition to Orlin,
the line-up includes Frenchies Lluis Ayet and Rita Quaglia, Kubilai
Khan Investigations, Fabrice Lambert, Roser Montllo Guberna and
Brigitte Seth, Caroline Picard, Emmanuelle Vo-Dinh and David Wampach.
Germany sends Jochen Roller and Neuer Tanz, Turkey Aydin Teker,
Portugal Claudia Dias, and the Dutch choreographer Michael Laub,
whose riveting "H.C.
Andersen Project" at last year's festival included a
sort of stealh Yank dance-maker, Greg Zuccolo.
When I asked Rencontres
director Anita Mathieu how exactly a festival that claimed to be
international could exclude Americans, she answered, lamely, that
"American companies do not communicate very much and rarely send
their information." As I noted before, this defense parallels the
excuse of an exclusionary country club that, "We're not anti-Black;
they just never apply!"
A more likely explanation
is that if Mathieu -- and the Paris presenting cabal in general
-- were to actually program CONTEMPORARY American choreographers,
the relative laxity of contemporary French creators might be exposed.
But let's test her defense;
the festival's e-mail address is email@example.com.
Nik Sticks
Of course, it may also
be our darn sunny disposish that makes French presenters -- as distinguished
from French dancegoers -- sneer at Yankee doodle dance-makers. I
was reminded of this quality when the ebullient dancers of Utah-based
Ririe-Woodbury played here two years ago. They made it through the
pantheon because the company was presenting the work of Alwin Nikolais,
as much an institution here as any American choreographer not named
Isadora or Merce could hope to be. But if Nikolais was what sold
the company to the presenter, what clearly won over the audience
at the Paris show I caught
was the infectious optimism of the performers. (How can you not
be won over by an ensemble one of whose leading lights is named
Liberty Valentine?)
The response to the
run at the Theatre de la Ville - Sarah Bernhardt was enough to convince
presenters throughout France. This and next month, the company is
making a return engagement, with gigs scheduled for Bourges (February
28 and March 1), Nevers (March 2 and 3), Bayonne (7 and 8), Arachon
(10 and 11), Tarbes (14), Blagnac (17 - 19), St. Etienne (21) and
Dijon (24).

Occupations losing the most jobs, 2000-10
January 04, 2002
Farmers and ranchers are expected to have by far the largest loss in employment during the period 2000-10, followed by administrative support positions.
Occupational employment declines usually are caused by increased imports of or decreased demand for specific goods and services, technology that increases productivity, or a transfer of duties to different occupations. Farming and administrative support occupations are both areas that are affected by technology.
Although declining employment often results in unfavorable prospects or limited opportunity, some openings may occur if the number of people leaving the occupation is greater than the decline in jobs.
These data are from the BLS Employment Projections program. For more information, see "Occupational Employment" in the Occupational Outlook Quarterly, Winter 2001-2002. (The BLS employment projections for the period 2000-2010 were completed prior to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. BLS will continue to review its projections and, as the long-term consequences of September 11 become clearer, will incorporate these effects in subsequent analyses of industrial and occupational outlook.)

In Pa, it's an LTCF= License to carry firearm. Not needed for open carry except in your car or Philly.
In Arapahoe County, the Colorado CCW permit is titled "Concealed Weapon Permit", although the statute limits the concealed weapon to handguns.
Open carry is legal in CO except in Denver, and anyone (who can legally own a firearm) is specifically allowed by CO statute to have a loaded handgun in his or her vehicle for self defense, and it "shall not be considered concealed".

In Tennessee, it's a Handgun Carry Permit. Covers concealed or open carry (the latter only by state Attorney General opinion, never tested to my knowledge in court). I'm not interested in being the test case, either.
Montana: CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit).
It's only required within the boundaries of an incorporated city or town.

These representation theory notes leave the following claim to the reader:
Recall that a derivation on an algebra is a map $d$ such that $d(ab)=d(a)b+ad(b)$. If $A$ is a finite-dimensional algebra over $\Bbb{R}$ or $\Bbb{C}$, $\gamma:\Bbb{R}\to \operatorname{Aut}_\Bbb{R}(A)$ is differentiable in some neighborhood of $0$, and $\gamma(0)=\operatorname{id}_A$, then $\gamma'(0):A\to A$ is a derivation.
This sounds a lot like the two pictures of the tangent space to a manifold at some point $p$ we get by considering smooth paths through $p$ and derivations of the algebra of germs of smooth real-valued functions at $p$, but that correspondence doesn't appear to me to actually go through.
Specifically, I think that the path of automorphisms of $\Bbb{R}$ given by multiplication by $e^t$ is a counterexample: it's smooth and the identity at $0$, but its derivative at $0$ is $1$, while $1(ab)\neq 1(a)b+a1(b)=2ab$ when $ab\neq 0$. Am I missing something?

The Deadline Season Begins
I am really glad my blog is about the outdoors and that the only sport I do where you have to pay-to-play is alpine skiing. Otherwise I would feel like a used car salesman year-round giving you tips on deals. Buy this now. These prices won't last. In my case, I am only telling you about deals intermittently during the winter and now and then in the fall, so I only feel like a part-time used car salesman.
That is my way of saying that I might remind you again later, but this is my first official reminder about 2009-10 season passes. The earliest deadlines that I've noticed are April, 30. That means if you have your ski/ride plan figured out for next year, you can save by purchasing your pass now. But remember, these prices won't last and neither will the offer for free oil changes for the life of your car. (Perhaps, I was a used car salesman in another life.)
A couple links that will help get you started:
I skied in Colorado last week and this deal made me drool: Rocky Mountain Super Pass – $399 for unlimited skiing at Winter Park and Copper, plus 6 days at Steamboat and Friday afternoons at Steamboat.

Happy 40th Birthday!General December 23rd, 2011
Yes it's true, I'm blessed and humbly grateful to be celebrating another birthday but more excited to be turning 40! As much as I love celebrating the birth of others, I usually find myself on an emotional roller-coaster when it comes to my own. Not to mention the fact of getting thru the holidays without my grandmother (who passed away the week of Thanksgiving when I was 18).
Each year I always find myself thinking on the story I was told of when I was born… for starters I was born 3 months pre-mature (and during those times that was severely critical, even today sometimes it still is) with an incubator as my home. Can you imagine a newborn baby born under those conditions? Not to mention hooked up to various machines & breathing tubes….oh my goodness!
Oh wait, and did I mention my mother was on 16? I know too much information but here's my point. Although she had her family to see us thru and as the years come & gone God truly blessed us both along the way. Even though I have two other siblings, it puts a smile on my heart to know that as I've grown I was lucky enough to witness first hand my mother not only graduate high school, but college (a bachelors, two masters and then a doctorate) and the most difficult time was when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, boy that was one scary journey.
So of course I know I'm get on my daughter's nerves because I'm always sharing stories with her about my life before she was born…LOL!
I wish I could share with you more about my life story…hmmm maybe writing a book wouldn't be a bad idea? But year after year on my birthday I always take a few moments out of the day to reflect on what "could" have happened, what "should" have happened and what "did" happen all on a winter's day 40 years ago; two days before Christmas!Click each photo to enlarge!

Thanks for sharing your story! Talk about GOD having purpose for you and your Mother, wow! He never ceases to amaze and is always performing miracles. You're an inspiration and don't wait begin working on your book. My Mother had three children when she graduated from high school in 1968 and is a "welfare to work" living witness. GOD allowed her to graduate as the first African American woman from Newport from Northern Kentucky University. Happy birthday Chenese and thank you for being a gift to many. GOD has truly smiled on you.

The WWE Universe is buzzing after Daniel Bryan did a thing that may or may not have been a heel turn on Raw this week. Was it a smart decision? Is Bryan doomed forever? I have plenty of strong opinions about what happened, but I also have opinions on Brock Lesnar returning, The Shield, and Bad News Barrett! What a bargain, right? Totally worth checking out. I would read it.
If you're just joining us, I'm Brooks, and I've been filling in for Kendra for most of December. Feel free to check out my walls of texts about That Episode Where The Announcers Took A Selfie or That Episode Where Mark Henry Was Santa Claus. Without further ado:
RAW Is Blogged: Why You Should Fear Daniel Wyatt
CM Punk Calls Out The Shield; CM Punk vs. Seth Rollins
- The Shield Mythos – The past few weeks, WWE has really been hammering the narrative that The Shield is a legendary team, and that 2013 was their year. And you could easily argue it was. What I enjoy more than that, though, is that they've kept the strength of The Shield constant, even after all the dropped angles (Heyman paying them, etc.). If you ask a young fan what make John Cena John Cena, they would probably say something like "He never gives up" or "Hustle Loyalty Respect." He's not just "guy who wins a lot," like we like to say. There's a narrative to his character, something you can explain to people, however flawed that character may be. The Shield is lucky enough to also have a constant character: their cohesiveness. The Shield doesn't win "because they win a lot." The Shield wins because they are incredibly efficient at working together. They all complement each other, and WWE reinforces that. Whereas most characters lose their luster after a year or so, The Shield has not, and all that character work is looking to lead into a logical dissolution of the group. The Shield used to come out silently and destroy people together. But lately, they've been buying into their own hype, so they've started opening their mouths too much and their egos are getting in the way of their cohesiveness. Even better, Punk is actively driving a wedge between them by playing into their egos. He knows they all think they are the strongest member of The Shield, so he makes them realize that. It's really great, simple storytelling, and it's really appreciated with the current state of WWE's storylines.
- Quality Opening Segments – With no Cena or Orton in the building tonight, we were spared a lengthy opening promo. Instead, we got a succinct promo about the past year (nods to history are always a plus) followed by a logical confrontation leading to a logical match. The match was fun, too. It's the kind of match that should be opening shows. It sets the tone and still leaves the crowd with enough energy to react throughout the night. Whoever is producing these logical segments and good matches for The Shield should be promoted and the senile toddlers producing everything else should be demoted to the mail room.
- Seth Rollins Thinks He's The Strong Link Of The Shield – Hahahahahahahaha. I like Seth Rollins, but that really set up the "I am totally delusional" thing. "Dean Ambrose is the legally insane mouthpiece, Roman Reigns is the menacing enforcer who legally murders people with spears on a weekly basis, and I, Seth Rollins, sometimes do a jumping knee attack and uh, check out my Kaitlyn hair."
Stephanie McMahon Announces Orton/Cena Rematch
Honestly, I'm glad this feud is getting out of the way now, so it has less of a chance of taking place at Mania. I'd rather have an average match at the Royal Rumble than at the main event of WrestleMania. We've already had two years of overrated main events, so let's not make it three in a row, if possible. The video package made the segment itself worth it, because as always, WWE put together a great video package about Orton's championship wins. Stephanie wasn't her usual vindictive self here, but that's okay. It makes the characters more real when they have days in which their evil is subtle. While I'm not particularly excited for the match, the "Only Pinfall or Submission" stipulation adds plenty of intrigue, especially during the Authority era. It's hard to believe that Cena would beat Orton for the title so soon, but it's also hard to believe that Orton would beat Cena clean. The Rumble match sells the pay-per-view, but it's nice to have a title match that seems important, however lukewarm the feud actually is.
Curtis Axel vs. Dolph Ziggler
- Those Entrance Promo Things – Both Axel and Ziggler got those little pop-up boxes during their entrances where they cut a quick pre-match promo. They didn't say anything groundbreaking, but those can be important avenues for guys like Axel or Ziggler to get their characters over. Even though there are over 1,000 hours of WWE programming per week, there is apparently still not enough time to ever let Ziggler anywhere near a mic, so whatever step lower-card talents can take to getting mic time is a step in the right direction.
- Ziggler Winning – Defeating Curtis Axel was presented like a big deal (which it absolutely shouldn't be because Axel makes Zack Ryder look like a guy with momentum). It's nothing that's going to push Ziggler up the card, but it's something more than losing to Fandango on the pre-show. Ziggler is one of the guys that is suffering from only one world title and a crowded main event scene, but giving him a TV win is an indicator that maybe they haven't completely given up on the guy forever. I'm steadfast in my belief that Ziggler is lower than he should be on the WWE totem pole, but as long as he's tearing it up on the midcard instead of losing to Del Rio in 3 minutes, then I can't complain too much.
- Ziggler's Selling – Selling is Ziggler's strong suit. He's much better at being the face in distress than he is at dominating a match (which is part of why he never really went anywhere as a heel). It's more believable, and he makes every move look devastating. However, the first two moves of the match were Ziggler taking hugely unnecessary bumps. One of the bumps was an Irish whip that Ziggler sold by doing a front flip over the top rope and landing on the mat. He doesn't seem injury prone as long as Jack Swagger's foot maintains a 50-foot radius, but if I were a promoter, I would have a hard time getting behind a Superstar that seemed so reckless with his bumps. I've never taken a bump in my life, so Ziggler knows what he's doing far more than I do, but I can't shake the feeling that a guy who flings his body to the mat at terminal velocity 50 times a night is going to hurt himself eventually. Be careful, dude. Watch Mick Foley's DVD. Save your body.
Big E Langston vs. Fandango: Intercontinental Championship Match
- Importance – While the IC Title is still not where I want it to be, giving a title match plenty of time (in the 9:00 slot, no less) lent some importance to the title. It's not much, but it's a step up from Ziggler and Kofi playing championship hot potato for 6 months. I'm also going to give Summer Rae some props for something other than her outfit (outfit game was on point, though). She's constantly invested in Fandango's matches. She could be the disinterested, vapid blonde trope, but she's always watching and offering advice to Fandango. I can't remember any non-WrestleMania Fandango match that had any real sense of drama or stakes to it, but Summer Rae treats every match like it matters to her. This week, she looked devastated when Fandango lost. Invested valets will always trump Maryse valets that just twirl their hair and text.
- It Takes Two To Elevate A Title – I'm happy for the success of Big E Langston. He's charismatic, talented, and he deserves it. The IC Title already feels a million times more important than it did when Curtis Axel had it. That's still not very much, though, and a lot of that has to do with Langston's opponents. Big E is Big. Damien Sandow and Fandango are small and they barely ever win. There is not a person living or dead that ever thought Sandow or Fandango had a tiny chance of winning, which is especially bad when your champion is a face. If you're building an unstoppable heel, then sure, have him bash some nerds. But if the champion is a face, who cares if he's just steamrolling a bunch of scrubs? There's no drama, and drama is what elevates belts. It's time to give Langston a viable challenger. WWE is short on bad guy hosses, so call up Alexander Rusev from NXT or something. Having Langston wrestle/Big Ending a similarly large person would be worlds more entertaining than having him beat Small Dancing Man Famous For Constant Boring Countout Losses.
Bad News Barrett Interrupts The New Year's Spin-A-Roonie
Gotta say, I was actually interested in Bad News Barrett this week. Previously, Barrett randomly stood at a podium and said LOCAL SPORTS TEAM IS BAD AND YOU LOCAL PEOPLE ARE FAT and that was it. It felt like WWE trying to force a new meme, but it had no distinct character to it. Now it's been taken to a ridiculous extreme. Barrett slowly ascends on his podium while his theme music drones on, and he interrupts makeshift dance parties. It's stupid in the best way, and doesn't feel like some unexplained inside joke anymore. I will say that I wish Barrett was getting less WHAT and more BOO, because I was taken aback when he actually made fun of the fact that people lost their homes in a natural disaster. Stuff that cutting should be met with a swift chorus of BOOOOOO, not "he paused so let's say the thing." Since WWE can never commit to anything Barrett-related for more than 3 months, the Bad News thing isn't so bad. Ideally, he would be bareknuckle fighting people to death, because he's a believable fighter, but he would inevitably fall back into meaningless "Kofi Gets Elbowed" matches, so giving him a different gimmick, even a ridiculous comedy one, is probably a step in the right direction.
Damien Sandow vs. The Great Khali
- Voting For The Great Khali Over Kofi Kingston Or The Miz – Here's what I think happened. The WWE Universe likes Damien Sandow, and they know that The Miz and Kofi win exactly 50% of their matches, while The Great Khali will die if he tries to kneel down for a pin attempt. Voting for The Great Khali was a slick way to save their intellectual savior. The unwashed masses are learning well.
- How The Mighty Have Fallen – How scary is it that the guy who was the future World Heavyweight Champion 9 weeks ago is clinging to employment by barely defeating Khali? It's a shame that Sandow was a victim of "hey why don't we unify the titles next month" and had to lose the briefcase, but there's no reason for Sandow to have fallen quite this far.
- You Can't Do A Roll-Up On A Man Without Knees – Khali botched Sandow's roll-up and actually had a shoulder up during the pin, which led the commentary team to bury the segment. I'm 99% sure it was a genuine botch because the roll-up was the fastest Khali's body has ever moved, but Cole did allude to the fact that Khali may have a beef with Sandow after that botched call. Probably just an on-the-fly coverup of a mistake, but Sandow/Khali is probably the worst idea for a feud this side of Sheamus/Jinder Mahal.
R-Truth vs. Brodus Clay
- JBL Adds To A Match – For the first time in 2013, JBL decided to not talk about twerking and discuss relevant wrestling angles instead. He had history with Xavier Woods, who was at the announce table, so they had a back-and-forth, discussed the current Brodus angle, and JBL ended up admitting that he's coming around on Woods. It was a fascinating preview as to what commentary would be like if commentary happened anymore, and I hope this new trend of "talking about relevant things" continues.
- Brodus Clay Already Losing To Distractions – It wasn't even a roll-up win. R-Truth got him with a second-rope variant of his finisher. That's probably not what should be happening to a newly-turned heel with potential. Brodus should probably have eaten Tensai, R-Truth, and Xavier Woods alive by now. If an evenly-matched feud with an NXT rookie is as far as heel Brodus is going to go, maybe he should have kept Gangnam Styling into 2014.
Brock Lesnar Returns
- Triple H Bringing Lesnar Back – I can't believe I enjoyed Triple H inserting himself into a cool thing for no reason again, but this time it made sense. I don't know if it'll ever be explained (maybe HHH will eventually recruit Lesnar into an enforcer), but the fact that Triple H, who had the world's longest blood feud with Lesnar less than a year ago, is happily announcing his return is noteworthy. If it's never fully explained, it just adds to Triple H's soulless "Best For Business" character.
- Heyman's Back Too – Paul Heyman had an incredible 2013, cutting what were easily some of the best promos of the year. Heyman is just too talented on the mic to have him sitting around doing nothing, and having him be Brock's hype man instead of Axel and Ryback's leader is clearly a big step up.
- Trim Lesnar – I'm pretty sure it was just the tank top, but to me, Lesnar looked trimmer. Still an enormous beast, but more athletic than gargantuan. Part of his appeal originally was his combination of athleticism and strength, and since his return, some of the athleticism aspect has been overshadowed in favor of his MMA experience. There's nothing really wrong with MMA Brock, but having him look intimidating because he can kill you AND catch you if you run away is a plus.
- CAAAAAAAW – Mid-homicide, Lesnar started letting out these hilarious high-pitched shrieks, and the bird calls only got more intense after a really impressive F5 onto the floor (there's a joke about a murder of crows in there somewhere, but I can't quite get it). Lesnar screaming is exactly as great as him speaking is awful. The beatdown of Henry was really special and it's the kind of thing you only get when Lesnar is around, but like most Lesnar moments, I remember the screaming more than anything. Pretty much the only thing I remember about his WrestleMania match with Triple H is this. That's almost as good a WrestleMania moment as a shooting star press.
- Cena vs. Lesnar Again? – I loved that Lesnar was declared the next #1 contender for the WWE WHC Title because he's Lesnar, but there's no way they'll program Lesnar with Orton, so does that mean that Cena is winning the title and facing Lesnar? Lesnar's #1 contendership may not be set in stone yet, but if it is, that is the only way I can see this playing out, and I don't like it. Cena vs. Lesnar I was a great and different match and I have no doubt that Cena vs. Lesnar II would be a similarly great match. But after three Triple H matches, I want to see Brock face some different guys on the roster. Cena has plenty of enemies on the roster he could face at Elimination Chamber (or he could be in the Chamber itself), and working with Lesnar is immediate elevation for anyone. It makes storyline sense for Lesnar to be facing the champion, but after this, let's move away from rematches for a while.
- Face Mark Henry – Mark Henry is a brilliant bad guy. Hall of Pain-era Henry was the perfect monster heel. He's so good at being bad that you want to cheer him, which makes it even more frustrating when he turns face and his power levels immediately drop to zero. He should not have gotten the upper hand on Brock Lesnar here, of course not. But speaking generally, when Henry goes face, he becomes a jobber to the stars, and he has the ability to be so much more.
Total Divas vs. Regular Divas
- Aksana??? – Brock Lesnar returning? Seen it before, whatever. Aksana's music playing at the end of the match? What?! Anything can happen in the WWE, I guess. This may mean some added relevance for Aksana, which is…fine. She hasn't done anything since almost marrying Goldust on NXT, so maybe she's getting her turn as the relevant Diva of the month, but this was probably just because AJ was MIA this week. Next week, AJ will return, get beaten by a Bella Twin in a non-title match, Aksana will return to Teddy Long's office, and the cycle will begin anew.
- The Heel/Face Dynamic – I know there were reports going around that WWE was saying there are no faces and heels (which has been said plenty of times over the last few years), but this is not how you do it. The Divas division is the most one-dimensional division in WWE (by WWE's design), so fans are actively trying to figure out which team to cheer for. In this match, you have Eva Marie heeling it up on the team that has been presented as faces for months. You also have beloved Divas like Kaitlyn on the heel team wearing eeeeevil black colors because surprise she's bad now. Here's to hoping 2014 brings a new angle to the division, because "cheer these reality stars sometimes but also respond to their heel taunts, also whatever you do please don't cheer for AJ" isn't cutting it.
Daniel Bryan Joins The Wyatt Family
- Daniel Bryan's Acting – With all the hubbub surrounding the big main event swerve (which I will get to), it's important to give Bryan some credit for his acting here. This segment had every right to be grade-A 80's era pro wrestling cheese. So much melodrama. But it worked, and it worked because Bryan sold it. And it's so funny to go back and look at his early criticisms about his lack of charisma. All he had to do was start breathing heavily at the top of the ramp and the crowd was in the palm of his hand. Excellent work.
- It's Good Filler – During the match, I was hoping the payoff to this feud would be tonight. This is not a knock on the abilities of Bryan or The Wyatt Family, but this feud has felt like "pre-WrestleMania filler feud" from the first week. It's featured solid in-ring work and storytelling for the most part, but nothing about the feud particularly intrigued me. It seemed like a definite demotion at first ("Come on Bryan, get out of the spotlight and let The Big Show finally get his chance"), but as it became evident that it was just a "We Can't Screw Bryan Out Of The Title For 6 Months Straight Or Else The Audience Will Get Even More Jaded And No One Will Care At WrestleMania" feud, I was fine with it. It makes sense to give Bryan a side feud before the Road to WrestleMania and it elevates The Wyatts in the process.
- Precedent – This is an intriguing angle and I already see a lot of people excited. That's fine! You possibly should be excited, because it possibly will lead to something cool. Unfortunately, I, as the resident Guy With Far Too Much Daniel Bryan Merchandise In His Apartment, can't let myself be excited about this. If this ends up only making Bryan hotter when he inevitably breaks off from the Family, wins the Rumble, and main events WrestleMania, then I am so, so happy to be wrong. But over the past 3 years or so, WWE has trained me to not be excited about promising new angles for promising new stars. I am usually one of those "well let's just see where it goes" people, but I can't do that this time. I've been burned too many times.
"Well, John Cena just beat Nexus at SummerSlam, but I'm sure they'll keep their momentum."
"Well, CM Punk is feuding with Kevin Nash now, but I bet the best of the Summer of Punk is right around the corner."
"Well, Zack Ryder is in a wheelchair now, but it'll lead to something good."
"Well, Ryback just got a huge pop for attacking Cena. They wouldn't throw away all that momentum."
WWE just cannot keep an angle hot forever. Daniel Bryan is an incredible performer, but even he has a shelf life. If WWE is trying to keep Bryan over until WrestleMania, good. That's what they should be doing. But this is a risky way to do it. Remember when Dolph Ziggler got a huge pop for cashing in Money in the Bank on a decidedly-lukewarm face Alberto Del Rio? It was a huge feel-good story, because fans know how passionate Ziggler is. But instead of capitalizing on it, WWE stuck to their guns, and on his first Smackdown as champion, Ziggler greeted his adoring fans by saying he doesn't need them, blah blah blah uninspired WWE heel stuff. WWE, for whatever reason, rarely allows organic reactions to alter their narrative, which is what makes the Daniel Bryan story so special (and even he's fallen victim to it before. "The fans are chanting 'YES?' Make Bryan hate that! He's a 'NO' guy now! Give 'YES' to Sheamus!") He's the guy that's really forced WWE's hand. So far, at least. A heel turn (which this may not be, all clearly-symbolic turning-his-back-on-the-crowd aside) may just be enough to cool Bryan off. He's never going to get the Zack Ryder treatment where it's just sad how much no one cares anymore. He's a star, and he'll always be on the show. But WWE will never be able to force the genuine reactions Bryan has been receiving in 2013.
The JRs of the world always talk about how you can't "make" stars and "lightning in a bottle." Daniel Bryan in 2013 is lightning in a bottle. After all this, Bryan will either become a beloved utility guy or a bona fide draw. It's completely up to WWE at this point. The fans have spoken, but if WWE wants to throw that away because "well Sheamus is coming back and he was over sometimes, right" then that's their mistake. Bryan will undoubtedly be in a great match at WrestleMania XXX. But when you have an opportunity to make a genuine, organic WrestleMania moment by having Bryan in the main event, anything else is a waste.
The big silver lining to all of this is that organic reactions don't go away easily. If this is a genuine attempt to turn Bryan heel, I imagine it'll go about as well as Stone Cold's heel turn (i.e. not well). It very well could have been an attempt at a heel turn. How many top WWE faces have been emasculated like Bryan was? John Cena or Sheamus would never grovel and beg like Bryan did. But more likely, this is another stopgap for Bryan on the Road to WrestleMania. Overall, it seems like Raw is starting to slowly pick up steam with storyline progression and the return of Brock Lesnar. It's imperative that they start the 'Mania build early and do it well. Buyrates are going to drop again if the feuds only have a couple weeks of build. It looks like the title scene is on autopilot until the Rumble, because Cena/Orton have already done every wrestling tactic ever to each other and the Rumble sells itself, so we'll probably be looking at another few "good, not great" shows until February at least. Not the most exciting future to look forward to, but it keeps angles like Bryan's and Punk's in the spotlight, which is important as we head into the Season of Part-Timers.
This is my last RIB until I'm called upon again, but I had plenty of fun writing these and interacting with the WNWniverse. As always, you can catch me nitpicking and complaining in the live threads and on my Twitter. Until next time, thanks for reading.

Ibby Djimde
Aug 20, 2013
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Southern Illinois University men's basketball coach Barry Hinson announced that 6-foot-8 junior center Ibby Djimde (pronounced JIM-day) has transferred from Illinois and will have two years of eligibility after sitting out the upcoming season to satisfy NCAA transfer rules.
Djimde, who was part of former Illinois head coach Bruce Weber's 2010 recruiting class, played sparingly in two seasons for the Illini. As a freshman in 2011-12, he scored five points in 17 games, totaling 61 minutes of playing time. Under new head coach John Groce last year, his playing time diminished to 19 minutes in the span of 11 games, and he scored his lone basket in a game at Northwestern.
He will take the scholarship that recently opened up when junior guard Josh Swan had career-ending knee surgery.
"We have two senior big men in Davante Drinkard and Bronson Verhines, so it was imperative that we add a big man to our roster," Hinson said. "The great thing about having Djimde is he gives us size, strength and length, and someone who can challenge our big guys in the paint during practice. We get a year to work with him and show him our system before we have to play him."
A native of Bamako, Mali, Djimde played his prep basketball at West Virginia Huntington Prep, where he averaged 10 points and eight rebounds as a senior, helping lead Huntington to a 25-3 record.

Are you keeping a "log" of all the drive-by casing that you say has been taking place?
If not, you may want to do so.
If so, review the log to see if you can establish any sort of pattern. (Times, days of the week, car used, etc)
Using this information may enable you to gather more useful information for the police. You may also be able to set up a little stakeout of your own so you can get license plate #'s, suspect descriptions & perhaps a video or a few pictures. Any/All of this may help you bring a stop to any potential problems.
Honestly, "most" bad guys will go elsewhere if they know you are on to them and are watching them carefully. In a bad guys mind, it's all about the BIGGEST reward for the LEAST amount of risk.
As a GG, you can ONLY do to things:
- One: Make a BG think there is "NO" reward to be had by victimizing you or your home.
- TWO: Make the "RISK" to the BG so great; that he chooses to find a much "easier" target.
If you can accomplish "BOTH" of the above, you WIN and the BG will go elsewhere.

Taijuan Walker injury news has the starting pitcher making his first Minor League start since being sidelined early in Spring Training. The Seattle Mariners put Walker on the mound against players from the Triple-A Tacoma squad on Tuesday night (March 25), helping him make that next step toward returning to the 25-man roster. He wasn't impressive in his debut, throwing 48 pitches, getting six outs, and allowing four runs to score. That wasn't the point, though, as he just needs to get more work to strengthen his pitching arm.
M's Release Randy Wolf, Soctt Baker
Speaking about his first appearance since the beginning of March, Walker stated, "My arm felt good; I just got tired. But that's to be expected. I used my legs a lot today, which was a good sign. I wanted to use more legs, less arm. But my arm felt great." He elaborated when talking about the command of his pitches, stating that, "Ehhh, it was all right. Could be better. But it's something to work on. Again, my arm feels good, so I'll take the positives. It was my first time throwing the curveball, and I thought it was pretty good. It felt good coming out of my hand. A couple of them I got behind on, but for the most part I felt pretty good."
It's good news for the organization and the fans that the Taijuan Walker injury may be a thing of the past now. It was very worrisome when the training staff revealed that he was experiencing soreness in his arm after just one throwing session in camp, but trainer Rick Griffin has been keeping a close eye on him ever since. The plan is to have him appear in another Minor League game on Sunday (March 30) to try to extend his stamina on the mound. The expectation is that he will pitch four or five innings and work to get back to a point where the team can put him back on the big club.
At this point it appears that Walker will be placed on the disabled list as Opening Day approaches and that his spot in the starting rotation will be covered by one of Blake Beavan, Roenis Elias, or Hector Noesi.

No. 414 Squadron
Sarnia Imperials , Black Knight
Motto: TOTIS VIRIBIS - "With all our might"
No. 414 Squadron formed in August 1941 at Croydon as army co-operation squadron. No. 414 Squadron flew Curtiss Tomahawk aircraft for nearly a year before it received its first North American Mustang Mk I's, employing these over Dieppe on the 19th August 1942, where the first aerial victory ever claimed by a Mustang pilot was credited to the unit. The Mustang's continued to be used in an offensive manor during 1943 on 'Rhubarbs', and 'Roadsteads', as well as reconnaissance sorties. During the year the unit became part of the 2nd TAF (Tactical Air Force) and in June 1944 was serving with No. 39 (Reece) Wing, operating from Odiham and undertaking sorties on behalf of the army over the front line area. August saw re-equipment with Spitfire Mk IX's due to the shortage of early versions of the Mustang and a move was made to French soil. In April 1945 the unit received Griffon-engine Spitfire Mk FR XIV, which it operated from German airfields up to the wars end. Despite not being a fighter squadron as such, frequent engagements had ensued and while 'defending' themselves, the Squadron's pilots had claimed 28 victories. The squadron aircraft carried the code letters RU until early 1943, after which only the individual aircraft letters were carried.
Re-activated at RCAF Station Rockcliffe in 1948 for photographic duties and flew Dakotas until being disbanded in November,1950. In November l952, it was again re-activated at Bagotville, P.Q., this time as a fighter squadron and was equipped with F-86 Sabres. The squadron left Uplands in August of 1953 and arrived at Baden-Soellingen, Germany, in September, serving there until being disbanded in June 1957. Re-formed in August of 1957 at North Bay, No. 414 AW (F) Squadron was equipped with CF-100 all-weather jet interceptors. In 1962, the squadron was re-equipped with CF-101B Voodoos.
Upon unification of the forces No. 414 Squadron became the electronic warfare squadron of the Canadian Forces and was equipped with the CF-100 Canuck Mk5D, CC-117 Falcon, ET-133 Silver Star, CF-101 Voodoo and EF-101 Voodoo. The squadron was based CFB Uplands (Ottawa), Ontario and later at CFB North Bay, Ontario. No. 414 was the last operational squadron of the F-101 Voodoo in the World.
In 1992 414 squadron split in two with one part going to CFB Comox as 414 Composite squadron and the other going to Greenwood as 434 Composite squadron. It changed its name to 414 Combat support squadron in 1993 and was equipped with the CT-133 Silver Star.
Nos 414 and 434 Squadron were disbanded following the retirement of the CT-133 Silver Star and CE/CP-144 Challengers and their duties handed over to civilian contractors.
On 7 December 2007 approval was received for the squadron to stand up once more, this time as 414 EWS (Electronic Warfare Support) Squadron. Belonging to 3 Wing Bagotville, the squadron is based in Ottawa and is composed of military Electronic Warfare Officers who fulfill the combat support role, flying on civilian contracted aircraft.
The squadron was re-formed at Gatineau Airport, Quebec, on 20 January 2009 to operate the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet provided by Top Aces Consulting.

Parents across the United States are taking notice about what their schools are teaching regarding bullying after Zeman Elementary fifth graders in Lincoln, Nebraska, were given flyers to teach them how to act if they are bullied.
The poorly written list of rules took parents by surprise and after the incident went viral the school apologized saying it was "a great learning experience for all."
The school's official response to the flyer on Facebook says, "Our educators at Zeman Elementary School work hard to provide accurate and appropriate lessons and education for our students in how to handle bullying situations. The flyer was sent home with good intentions, unfortunately, it contained advice that did not accurately reflect LPS (Lincoln Public Schools) best practices regarding response to bullying incidents.
We encourage all students and parents to continue to communicate with our staff if you have any questions or concerns about bullying situations. We apologize for any problems or confusion this has caused for students and families."
The school says they added a link to their webpage on "The Facts About Bullying," which contains their new stance and best advice for parents. It is a great lesson for all parents across the U.S. to pay close attention to what your children are being taught. The Rules of Bullying written by Brooks Gibbs has been teaching students at school how to handle bullies from his point of view, which isn't what parents believe their children should be taught.
Bullying Rule #1
"Refuse to get mad.
Anger is a feeling we have towards our enemies, not our buddies. When you get mad you are treating them like the enemy. Besides, if he/she can get you angry, you become a puppet and the bully controls you."
Bully Rule #2
"Treat the person who is being mean as if they are trying to help you.
No matter how insulting or mean they may sound, be grateful and think they are really helping you. (This does not mean you have to believe what they tell you.)"
Bullying Rule #3
"Do not be afraid.
Fear is something we feel toward enemies, not buddies. When you are afraid, you are treating the bully like an enemy. If you are afraid, you are automatically putting the bully in a stronger position, and you automatically lose, and since the bully wants to keep winning, they will continue doing things to make you feel afraid."
Bullying Rule #4
"Do not verbally defend yourself.
We defend ourselves against enemies, so we are treating the other person as the enemy not a friend. When one person attacks an the other is the defender, the attacker is in the stronger position, so the defender is automatically the loser. If we defend, we lose."
Bullying Rule #5
"Do not attack.
We attack enemies. If I attack you back, I am treating you like an enemy. It takes two people to fight, so the person who retaliates or responds who actually starts the fight."
Bullying Rule #6
"If someone physically hurts you, just show you are hurt, but do not get angry.
If someone hurts you, you want them to feel sorry for you and apologize. If you get angry they won't feel sorry."
Bullying Rule #7
"Do not tell on bullies.
The number one reason bullies hate their victims is because the victim tells on them. Telling makes the bully want to retaliate. Tell an adult when a real injury or crime (theft of something valuable) has occurred.
Would we keep our friends if we tattled on them?"
Bullying Rule #8
"Don't be a sore loser.
No one wants to be a sore loser. Would you like to play with someone who gets all upset when they lose? Lose gracefully and be a good sport. Kids will like you better."
Bullying Rule #9
"Learn to laugh at yourself, and don't get "hooked" by put-downs.
Make a joke out of it or agree with the put-down. For example: "If you think I'm ugly you should see my sister."
"I've known that for a long time."
"Thanks for noticing."
"You're right, and its going to get worse!"
"If you think I'm a nerd, you should see my dad."
