CHARLESTON, S.C. --- East Carolina freshmen Chase Baker and Patriek Wolterbeek each claimed individual flight championships over the weekend at The Citadel Fall Shootout. Wolterbeek posted a 2-1 record to win Flight 7, while Baker won his lone match of the weekend to capture Flight 8.
Wolterbeek defeated The Citadel's John Armstrong in straight sets (6-0, 6-0) before repeating the feat against Marko Jereminov of South Carolina State (6-3, 6-2). Wolterbeek dropped his final match of the tournament in three sets (6-2, 5-7, 8-10) to Georgia Southern's Andrew Dromsky.
Baker also blanked his Citadel opponent, defeating Justin Wycoff (6-0, 6-0). Baker also team with sophomore Mario Martinez to win Doubles Flight 4 with a 2-0 record. The duo first knocked off The Citadel tandem of Armstrong/Wycoff, 8-1, then disposed of the S.C. State pair of Jereminov/Young Lee, 8-4.
The Pirates posted 12 singles victories and eight doubles triumphs during the three-day event. Freshmen Damien Brenard and Nicolas Soriano each won two matches, as did senior David Masciorini.
The Citadel Fall Invitational marked the end of fall tournament play this year.

Global Climate Change: Finally, a 'Trust' Worthy Solution?
Environmental groups may have developed a way to repurpose a legal theory traditionally implemented to protect water resources, the "public trust doctrine," to push forward legal measures to combat climate change and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The public trust doctrine, a legal principle with roots in the English common law, embodies the theory that government is required to hold in trust certain natural resources and maintain these resources for its citizens.
Traditionally, this doctrine was applied to water-related activities, including commerce, navigation, and fishing, but a Texas judge concluded that the public trust doctrine is not exclusively limited to conservation of water—it includes all natural resources of the state of Texas.
Likewise, a court in New Mexico has permitted a climate change lawsuit based on the public trust doctrine to move forward on its merits. (Sanders-Reed v. Martinez, N.M. Dist. Ct., No. D-101-CV-2011-1514.)
Not all courts have been so accepting of this strategy, however. This creative implementation of the public trust doctrine was recently rejected in a federal court where plaintiffs claimed that the federal government, as trustee, has a duty to protect the atmosphere as a federal public resource.
Only time will tell how successful this tool will be to tackle these modern problems.

So it's a new year, and you resolve this will be the year of the "new you."
No more smoking. No more butter pecan ice cream with hot fudge sauce. No more fourth martini before dinner.
But, somehow, you know you will fail. Just like you failed last year in your resolution.
"People have to understand they can't impulsively stop smoking or go on a diet or whatever on Jan. 1 and expect it to work," says Dr. Judy Rosenberg, a psychologist who specializes in addictions, and the author of "Kick It!" She answers a few queries.
Q. What, in your opinion, is the main reason these resolutions fail?
A. People do this impulsively without asking, "What is my true intention?" And if your intention is, for instance, to lose weight to look better and impress your husband, you need a game plan. You need a mind map that takes you from the problem through the process to the solution.
Q. You really focus on helping people to stop smoking. You talk about "habit breakers" on your website, drjudyrosenberg.com, and sell an e-book on the topic. Can you tell us more?
A. I have rewritten my best-selling book and renamed it "Dr. Judy's Habit Breakers Stop Smoking Plan." It is a summation of my work over the last 20-some years.
The most significant piece is "See the Cause."
You have to re-create yourself. And I start with that creation. The problem with most theories on how to stop smoking or lose weight or whatever is they try to manage behavior.
You need to get to intention.
What caused the problem? Usually there's a hole in the person's psyche that lets them pick up an addiction. There is a feeling of "lack" – usually the result of the first year or two of life that did not go real well for that person. Maybe the caring and bonding with a significant other did not go real well. The person is left with internal scars.
Lack. Lack. Lack. So you fill the holes in with sex, drugs, food. That's where addiction habits really come from, but it's not much talked about.
Q. What is your nine-panel model?
A. It's a model that deals with this "lack." What's the cause? How did it formulate? What is the process map?
Once patterns are set in stone, you need to work to let them go.
You've got to let it go to whatever god you believe in. You've got to form a new habit and dive off the deep end, allow yourself to feel it. There is an ambivalence, a feeling of being lost in space, and this is really where the program begins. It's almost like a faith thing. You admit you are powerless over your addiction, you let the spirit come in, you become egoless and you let go.
Q. This is different from a 12-step program?
A. We are taking the person from the point of falling apart, being unable and unsteady. They have made the decision to let go of the old defense mechanism and they need that support. We give them new ways. New and healthy survival methods.
One of the main philosophies behind it is to go for the pleasure principle. When we smoke or overeat it is because we want pleasure. We go for short-term pleasure and screw ourselves in the long term. People need to learn the distinction.
After a while, what happens to people who substitute good is that bad doesn't feel good anymore.
Q. When we change habits, we need a support system?
A. Yes. There are several levels of support. But, whatever you do, you have got to get to the seed level of what you are doing. You are going to re-create yourself, and the problem with most theories on habit changing is they start with behavior. Until you get to intention (like "why am I overeating?") you're still behind the eight-ball.
Q. I can really learn to keep the pleasure of eating and lose the pain that eating ice cream does to my diet?
A. You really will crave turkey burgers.

Family planning is alive and well in the Detroit Public Schools.
In what WDIV's Rod Meloni so eloquently described as a "crackdown of the Family and Friends Program in the City of Detroit," Wednesday's indictment of four individuals and several former DPS vendors reveals details of a picture that has been emerging for years.
A federal grand jury indicted Stephen Hill, former chief of risk management at Detroit Public Schools, charging him and three others with eight counts of crimes involving bribery, fraud, extortion and money laundering of more than $3 million, according to U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade.
Also charged in the 15-page indictment, unsealed Wednesday, are Hill's onetime assistant, Christina Polk-Osumah, 59, as well as Detroit businesswoman Sherry Washington, 53, and her sister, Dr. Gwendolyn Washington, 66, of Southfield. The Washingtons are accused for their roles as partners in Associates for Learning, a vendor hired -- minus a bidding process -- to administer a health awareness program for the school district, but which district officials claim performed little work while receiving more than $3 million in payments.
Hill and Polk-Osumah appeared in federal court Wednesday. Polk-Osumah was arraigned; Hill's arraignment will be conducted Friday. If found guilty, they each face up to 20 years in prison.
Allegations against Hill, the Washingtons and various vendors were reported last month by examiner.com, including accusations included in the district's pending civil lawsuit that Hill, 58, and Polk-Osumah diverted more than $57 million in improper wire transfers to a dozen vendors, including the Washingtons' Associates for Learning.
The indictment alleges crimes committed in 2005 and 2006, and names Hill and Polk-Osumah as the architects of a scam in which Hill set up a separate computer system and secret offices outside the district to conceal a scheme to wire millions of dollars to vendors who were close business associates or personal friends and family members of Hill or Polk-Osumah.
Sherry Washington owns the Sherry Washington Gallery on Library St. in Detroit, which also was the address of Associates for Learning. Gwendolyn Washington, M.D., is a primary care physician with an office on Northwestern Hwy. in Southfield.
According to documents in a Wayne County Circuit Court lawsuit brought by DPS -- still pending -- Associates for Learning received $3.3 million to "educate and motivate" school district employees on the benefits of healthy living.
Associates for Spending
The company's bank account routinely was debited for expenses ranging from such pedestrian purchases as gas, groceries, car washes, shoe repairs, dry cleaning, manicures and pedicures, to more luxurious items -- $1,733 at Louis Vuitton in Troy, more than $16,000 in the Caymans for unidentified travelers, and $1,609 at a duty-free shop in Windsor.
The company also spent thousands more at Marshall Field's and Nordstrom, jewelry stores and restaurants, including $1,256 at Seldom Blues in Detroit. It picked up the tab for iTunes downloads and spent money at a BMW dealership, Comerica Park and Circuit City. It also withdrew cash at casinos.
While DPS contends Hill received kickbacks of up to $30,000 from the firm, which was to have district employees participate in a health assessment survey, the federal indictment accuses Hill of receiving $157,000 in kickbacks from the Washingtons' Associates for Learning group. Fewer than 150 employees took advantage of the wellness program.
This isn't the first time, however, that Washington has been linked to shady dealings with Detroit Public Schools. She and her gallery came under suspicion in 2007 when the district spent $1.6 million on artwork provided by Washington.
Most of the spending took place under former school chief Kenneth Burnley, who told reporters at the time that he couldn't recall approving the contracts. The Sherry Washington Gallery of Detroit, by the way, is the same gallery from which the Cobo Center made a controversial purchase of more than $500,000 in artwork in 2004.
The 2007 purchases of $1.6 that slipped Burley's mind were divvied up, apparently placed in new schools built with bond money in the 1990s, district spokesman Lekan Oguntoyinbo told The Detroit News at the time.
Washington's Detroit office also was raided by the FBI in 2007, in addition to an office run by her and her partners. Phone calls to Associates for Learning revealed a disconnected number. Messages left at Dr. Gwendolyn Washington's office were not returned.
The federal investigation into the DPS risk management department is continuing.
"Stealing funds from a public school in these times is particularly egregious, as it threatens to rob our children of their futures and ultimately compounds future crime problems," McQuade said in a statement.
McQuade credited the FBI, the Internal Revenue Service, the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office, and the cooperation of DPS officials in helping to "weed out corruption" in the school district, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Robert Bobb, the district's emergency financial manager, said in a statement that the DPS hopes the indictments "send a message that the level of corruption that has been allowed to flourish in Detroit Public Schools in the past will no longer be tolerated. We will continue to work quickly and aggressively to root out corruption wherever we find it."
DPS suit triggered investigation
DPS is suing Hill and a dozen vendors in an attempt to recoup money. Among those named are Detroit businessman Lawrence Long and his company, Long Insurance Services, the Washingtons and their partners in Associates for Learning, and two large insurance and risk management companies.
Hill reportedly was given a $40,000 farewell party when he left DPS in 2005. Hill also has acknowledged in the lawsuit that Polk-Osumah gave him two cars worth nearly $90,000. DPS says companies run by her relatives were among the vendors that received money through the district's risk management office. Polk-Osumah now is accused of extortion relating to an alleged $20,000 birthday party she threw for her mother, in addition to another retirement party she gave her mother (who, ironically, retired from the DPS).
Officials in Cook County, Ill., shortly after allegations arose last month about Hill's involvement in the scheme, announced that Hill had been offered a job as the county's director of risk management. The county rescinded the offer after a Google search turned up the Free Press story. A county spokesman said the county had conducted a criminal background search on Hill, but had not checked into civil lawsuits and had not called DPS to check Hill's performance in Detroit, according to the Free Press.
Long's firm allegedly received roughly $25 million in wire transfers, most of it, $15 million to $17 million, for insurance premiums. The district claims the rest was for work that was "woefully inadequate" and contends that Long also paid Hill a $115,000 kickback.
The FBI has been investigating the alleged fraud scheme since at least 2007, according to federal court records.
Randall Phillips, a Bingham Farms lawyer who represents Long Insurance and Lawrence Long, told the Free Press last month that Hill was paid for consulting work and not as a kickback. He also said the allegations against Long and his company are false and they will be "vindicated when the case is brought to trial."
Hill performed risk management work for DPS in the mid-1990s and returned in 2001, when the DPS created a separate risk management department and appointed Hill director.
His office at district headquarters in the Fisher Building had fewer than five employees, handling mostly worker's compensation claims and DPS insurance policies.
Hill quickly created two other offices, one next door to Long's insurance office and a second inside the offices of a second vendor, according to the lawsuit. Hill eventually hired 25 contract workers from Long's insurance office.
Delores Brown was in charge of the cash management office, and told DPS lawyers that she thought the payments were proper because they'd been authorized by a department supervisor. Her boss, then-DPS chief financial officer Dori Freelain, approved any deals Brown questioned.
Of course, no Detroit political tussle would be complete without the requisite sexual component. Freelain, who also was Hill's boss, and Hill had a sexual relationship at one point, Hill said in his deposition.
Hill left DPS, took jobs with vendors
In 2005, Hill left DPS to take a series of jobs with vendors who had benefited from his district contracts.
Court records show that in October 2005, Hill became an executive vice president at Gallagher & Co. in St. Clair Shores, one of the vendors that received millions in wire transfers from Hill. Hill received a $200,000 salary with a $350-a-month car allowance.
While working for Gallagher, Hill received $115,000 by Long Insurance to author a 15-page report on school security for then-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick. DPS depicts the payment as a kickback for the lucrative contracts to Long's firm, which Long's lawyer disputes.
By May 2006, Hill left Gallagher to become a senior vice president at Marsh & McLennan in Detroit, again making $200,000 a year.
While at Marsh, the company loaned Hill to DPS as an unpaid consultant, and he resumed running the risk management department. The arrangement constituted a conflict of interest, DPS attorneys now claim. Hill left Marsh in June 2007 during the DPS investigation of risk management
Polk-Osumah remained with the district until October 2006, when she was discharged, according to lawsuit records. She was given office space by New Bridge Multimedia Inc., which Hill had hired by the DPS to do IT work. From her New Bridge office, Polk-Osumah had access to the school district's risk management database and continued to perform risk management duties, the suit claims.
New Bridge also subcontracted with companies connected to Polk-Osumah's relatives, with Polk-Osumah authoring the language of the bills, the suit contends. In addition, at various points in their relationship, Polk-Osumah bought Hill expensive gifts, lawsuit records show. Hill admitted in a deposition that in July 2005, when both were at DPS, Polk-Osumah bought Hill a 2005 Ford Mustang GT convertible, costing $47,000. Six months later, after Hill was at Gallagher, she bought her former boss a $40,000 Dodge Durango.
Asked at his September 2009 deposition why Polk-Osumah would lavish such gifts on him, Hill said, "I've asked that question myself many times. She was very supportive and wished to provide me with that token." He testified -- surprise! -- that he also had an affair at one point with Polk-Osumah.
Hill traded in the cars for a lease on a $112,000 Cadillac XLR. The Mustang and Durango obviously held little sentimental value.
Bobb called the continuing corruption syndrome in Detroit a case of DPS employees using the city as their own personal ATM.
Time to stop the withdrawals.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama remains the spiritual leader of the Tibetans and other Buddhists worldwide who look towards him for guidance daily. Recently, during a visit to Los Angeles, the Dalai Lama has commented that education without compassion worthless, reported Phayul.com on Feb. 28, 2014. The Dalai Lama is presently on a three week US tour and he recently met with Tibetans living in Southern California.
His Holiness the Dalai Lama has said he feels modern education is important for upbringing of a child, but he has commented, "However, education is not worthwhile if it is not accompanied by virtuous and compassionate mind." He went on to say Tibetans must never forget their Tibetan roots wherever they live and whatever job they take up. He has encouraged Tibetans living in the free world to try to represent the aspirations of the Tibetans who are living under Chinese occupation and to be a voice for them.
The Dalai Lama also said Tibetan parents should encourage their kids to speak Tibetan at home in order to help preserve the Tibetan language. He noted that although the Tibetan language is not really helpful in learning modern academic subjects, it does however have a very significant contribution in imparting the great teachings of Tibetan Buddhism. He feels the ancient Buddhist texts remain relevant and helpful in today's world. Even neuroscientists have been showing interest in Tibetan Buddhism for its relevance to modern science in dealing with meditation and other aspects of Buddhist religious practices. Therefore, the Dalai Lama thinks attention should be given to the ancient Buddhist texts not as just as part of some irrelevant religious subject, but also as being part of other important branches of study.

"This era? Too bad you'll have to get disappointed right from the start" Emukiel said as he got ready, his lightsaber glowing ever so brightly. A grin spread upon the weequay's face as he concentrated upon the two blades he was facing. He could manage even if he was a bit rusty against a saberstaff. As they met midway throught their attacks, Emukiel stayed defencive and slow. Slower than he should be. They locked lightsabers and leaned against each others, which was when the old Jedi Master made his move.
"I'll give you the advantage of two blades, but don't be to certain that you'll still have both of them when we're finished" he noted before kicking himself off of the lock and then rushing back in with his lightsaber twirling around himself, covering the view in a green mist that would confuse most opponents well enought to get the next strike throught. This strike was a very swift jab in the middle of his hands, meant to cut throught the hilt of his double-bladed lightsaber.
The astromech plugged into the mainframe to download info and give more access to the jedi next to the computer. Feirod continued to mess around with the systems, locking doors and closing blast doors and all the hangars he could find so nobody could escape. The Equine Jedi noticed a movement near the computer station's door. Before he could react to it by locking the door, the guard was inside, slugthrower in hand and aimed. The Jedi took out his lightsaber, but the loud bang of the slughtrower made him flinch. The bullet entered his head and the jedi started to fall backwards before throwing the lightsaber and cutting the opponent by the waist. Swiftly the droid switched to another plugin and closed both the door and the blast door, locking both of them and fetching the lightsaber for the jedi who attempted to stood back up. It was lucky that the bullet had slipped right between his brains, coming out the back. It caused a major pain, yet it was non-lethal. As the droid came back to the jedi, he was already wrapping a cloth around his head to help it heal

Spartanburg schools reporting problem-free first day
Published: Monday, August 18, 2014 at 2:23 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, August 18, 2014 at 2:23 p.m.
Spartanburg County school districts are reporting a mostly problem-free start to the school year.
District 4 Superintendent Rallie Liston praised district staff for their hard work and preparation, saying that organization and communication got the district's schools off to a smooth start.
An official with District 5 said the only problem that district has seen was an issue with a bus Monday morning.
Districts 1, 2 and 6 reported no issues on the first morning of school.
"We worked very hard over the summer and during last week's registrations to make sure that our buildings and classrooms were ready for the arrival of students and staff," said Ron Garner, superintendent of District 1.

Imagine having confidence and energy for your creative dreams. You could try a new skill, write a book, build a business, or solve a problem in a new way.
Imagine knowing how to create mutually loving and supportive intimate relationships. What would that be like?
When your second chakra is energized and balanced, you don't have to imagine. You have those experiences on a regular basis.
What is Your 2nd Chakra?
Called the sacral chakra, the second chakra is a vibrating disc of energy that expresses itself near your lower abdomen area. It symbolizes a creative space. It also represents your experience with relationships, sensuality, and creativity.
When you strengthen and recharge your second chakra, you affect these parts of your life. You feel creatively alive, you experience support and love in your intimate relationships, and you feel honor and respect for yourself as a man or a woman.
How to Energize Your 2nd Chakra
I want to share several simple exercises to give your second chakra a boost.
As you follow along with me, pay attention to how your body feels and how the energy around you changes. Let's get started:
What did you notice about yourself as you did the exercises with me? Please share a comment.
Assess your own 2nd chakra experience
Open and Balanced
When your second chakra is open and balanced, certain areas of your life thrive.
You have an appetite for creative endeavors, both in your life and your relationships. You feel at home in your own body. The dynamics of your intimate relationships support you. And you are at peace with the way you express your nature with your body.
If this describes you, then your 2nd chakra is strong. Support it by following the creative pursuits you feel inspired to.
Closed and Weak
If this part of your energetic system is weak or closed, your creativity and intimate relationships may also feel blocked. Intimate relationships may feel threatening or bring up insecurities that you try to avoid. You may also worry about abandonment or financial insecurity. You may feel your creativity stifled and blocked.
A closed or weak second chakra can set you up for physical illness in that area of energetic expression of your body—the abdominal area. Digestive and reproductive issues and just a few examples of this.
What to do about it
If your 2nd chakra is closed or weak (and at different points in your life, it probably is), don't worry. And don't think that it will take a lot of time to change it. You can start shifting the energy in your system this minute, and when you do, your life starts to change with it.

Though it sounds very tempting, it is not really worth the try, unfortunately, because Babcock State park is very beautiful. For the horse rider though, it is not very accessible. If visiting the park, better leave the horse at home.
The park is very friendly and there is a lot to see. There is the beautiful historic Grist Mill, surrounded by Rhododendrons. There is the nice creek that runs through the park and there are some spectacular views. The park has nice paths but mostly pavement, good for the bike, but the pavement is a bit boring on horseback. There are horse trails present though; this is because there is a tourist horse ranch in the park. That may sound good for the trail rider, but it is not.
First of all, the owner of the ranch does not want any other horses near his ranch while his horses are there (this is during tourist season) due to viruses you might bring. Off season it is not very pleasant either because the 50 or so ranch horses that carry the tourists around, a few times a day, have totally ruined the horse trails. When the rain falls, these trails are literally horrible to ride through on your horse. It has lumps and pits that go knee deep for the horse, uphill and downhill and all this effort is just not worth the ride.
I will share some nice pictures of the ride I did there, but please consider just taking your bike instead…

KANSAS CITY DENVER AND MIAMI WILL ALL FINISH 10-6 THAT MEANS dolphins and broncos get in.bengals will finish 9-7 they will not win at indy or denver.look for miami to win out and kc to drop to baltimore and san diego denver to drop to seattle and san diego but beat cincy.
I can see the future and here is what is going to happen:
the chiefs will lose at cleveland, home to baltimore, and at San Diego. finishing at 9-7
broncos will lose at san diego. finish at 11-5. (cutler is going to be hot stuff)
bengals will lose at indy and at denver – finish
jets will lose at minny and miami and either buffalo or at GB. finish 8-8
jags will lose at miami, at tennessee, and at KC. they could also easily lost to NE and INDY, but i'll give them the benefit of the doubt. they'll finish 8-8.
which means we win out we are in at 10-6. however, i think the buffalo game is going to be tough to win. gotta have ronnie for that one
there all gonna be hard, the dolphins can't afford a let down in any of them.
all i like to see is 110% effort for the rest of the year. if they make it, great, if they dont, they can take pride into next year for the level of play they have shown to end this season.
if by chance they do get in, i believe that they could be a very dangerous team. off., they may not scare anyone but the Dolphin D, when playn to there potential, is very scary.
i gotta admit, i think its gonna be a funn run, its been awhile since ive been watchn this closely at the end of the year.
Man steve… ur the first one I've heard state that they must win out. If they do win out i'll be the first to congratulate you with a long thank you letter.
You guys are wishful thinkers. What are you all smoking? Like the optimism but it aint going to happen with this brutal five game stretch and now with Ronnie gone for a while. If we could somehow couple Shula's great starts with Saban's great endings we would have an awesome record by now and sitting pretty for home playoff games.
5 games.
Lets hope this one is good.
If so, then the next. ;p
If miami is 10-6 they probably will get in when KC drops out by loosing the tie breaker.
Watch out though….the jets have an easy road and would beat miami in a head to head tie breaker at 10-6 while still loosing that game to miami. god damn jets.
If Miami and KC both finish at 10-6 wouldn't Miami hold the tiebreaker because of their head-to-head win? And if they beat JAX wouldn't the same be true? Also, if Miami beats the Jets then that would almost guarantee the Jets can't finish with 10 wins. And as for Denver, well you really don't know what is going to happen with them now that they are starting a rookie at qb. Bottom line is this, Miami need to win out and finish 10-6. IF that happens, I don't think it will be as gloom as many of you think. They finish 10-6 and they will be heading to Baltimore for a playoff game.

Tim Tebow's girlfriend has been identified as Camilla Belle. The most eligible bachelor in football, who is reportedly a virgin to boot, might finally be off the market. It's nice to see Tebow finally making some progress in the romance department. He deserves a little excitement when he is off the football field. Prior to his budding romance with Belle, Tebow had been rumored to date Taylor Swift, Lolo Jones and Dianna Agron. Those relationships were never confirmed.
In an Oct. 31, 2012 report, TMZ proclaimed, "Tim Tebow has finally scored." They described Belle as "no stranger to famous virgins," and noted that she also dated purity ring-wearing celebrity Joe Jonas several years ago.
Tim Tebow's girlfriend reportedly got plenty of attention from the Jets quarterback when they took their romance public on Tuesday. The couple bowled at Latitude 30 in Jacksonville, and they apparently took time away from their bowling balls to have some public displays of affection. They were spotted "holding hands and touching" during their low-key evening in Florida.

Public Disgrace Site Facts
Public Disgrace Review
Public Disgrace offers something very simple: 'Women bound, stripped and punished in public'. That's just what it delivers in each of the 263 scenes in the library at the time of my visit. The movies here are very unique for two reasons. First is that the sex is extreme, rough, and mean with lots of BDSM hallmarks like bondage, suspension, and other antics. Second, the sex, even the hardcore anal sex, takes place in very public locations around San Francisco.
It isn't uncommon to watch a mistress and master walk a porn star slave down the street naked, her arms bound behind her, a gag in her mouth, slapping her ass with a switch as they go. You will see them march the slut on to a bus full of pedestrians, bend her over, and ass fuck her in the last seat. Meanwhile people watch and enjoy the show. In other scenes they will invite onlookers to come over and have their way, grope the slave's tits or even get their cocks sucked. The girls here are treated very rough, and they really punish them thoroughly. This combination of public humiliation, exposure, and very rough sex is intoxicating and original. There just isn't another site out there that does it like Public Disgrace can.
Each of the episodes at Public Disgrace runs a good 60+ minutes long. You can stream or download the full length movies. The stream plays in a Flash video player that is embedded directly into the web browser. It has a great quality playback and is a great way to browse through a scene, or just watch it start to finish without having to wait for a download to complete. The download options are worth waiting for, however, as they offer full high definition playback at a 720p HD resolution. There are Windows Media and MP4 file formats to choose from and both look fantastic. There are also iPod-ready formats to grab.
Each scene comes with a gallery of high resolution pictures to look through. These are large and more or less ten to be very similar to the shots in the videos. You can browse through the images online or save them in easy to grab zip files that are provided.
Updates are added every week to the collection but as before, none of the Kink networks other sites are included with a membership.
Public Disgrace is a high quality site with very unique, public, and intense hardcore to offer. Fans of humiliation, sex in public, BDSM, or just extreme sex will find its exclusive scenes a potent cocktail of action. With regular updates in HD the site is an excellent pick.

Governor Nathan Deal recently announced this weekend as the sales tax holiday for all ENERGY STAR and WaterSense products across the state.
The sales tax holiday will officially take place Friday, October 5th through Sunday, October 7th, and apply to the following energy efficient products:
"I encourage everyone to play their part in maintaining our environment by participating in the tax-free holiday to save money and, ultimately, conserve Georgia's resources," Deal said.
The sales tax holiday was reinstated from 2010 under the Georgia Jobs and Family Tax Reform Bill. The tax reform package includes recommendations from the Georgia Competiveness Initiative, and fulfills one of Deal's campaign promises to reduce the tax burden on Georgia families.
The state and local sales tax exemption will not apply to items purchased for trade or business use, or items rented or leased.

August was considered a slow month in which no one wants to do anything. But the Red Bull House of Art is turning that common wisdom on its head, boldly going ahead with the Round 8 opening reception on August 8, featuring the brilliant jeweler Tiff Massey and the superb painter Austin Brady.
There are no summer slouches at Detroit Artists Market (DAM) nor at 555 Gallery and Studios, with both galleries having shows that open the very first day of the month. At DAM, If You Build It They Will Come will be up for almost the whole month, while at 555 the first two weeks of the month are devoted to Haiku, and barely a week later the SnapShot Photography Show will open and be up until September 6.
At Wayne State University, the Chagoya/Goya exhibit at the Elaine L. Jacob Gallery opens on August 1, but there won't be a reception until September 25. The time-based media exhibit at WSU's Art Department Gallery will be up until August 22, and then that gallery will be closed the rest of the month.
A few exhibits that opened in July will continue through August. The Kelsey Brookes exhibit at Library Street Collective will be up through August and well into September. At What Pipeline, Anne Speier's Lurk-Hive Balance will be up until August 23. The idea of August the sluggish month persists in some quarters, and some galleries will be closed for much or all of the month, however. After taking down Melanie Manos's Heightened States exhibit at some point after August 9, Re:View Contemporary will be closed until September. Live Coal Gallery is not opening at all in August.
It is very difficult to tell whether there is anything going on at the Kunsthalle Detroit, which, for being a museum of light-based art, appears rather opaque to inquiry.

Aug. 8, 2014
Throughout fall camp, NIUHuskies.com will preview every position on the 2014 Northern Illinois football team. Today's preview is on the wide receivers. In addition, sign up for Huskies All-Access to see a video breakdown of every position with interviews and practice highlights. The video will be available within 24 hours after the article is posted.
2014 NIU Camp Central
DeKALB, Ill. - Wide receivers Tommylee Lewis (Riviera Beach, Fla./W.T. Dwyer), Da'Ron Brown (Chicago, Ill./Morgan Park) and Juwan Brescacin (Mississauga, Ont., Canada/Culver [Ind.] Acad.) combined for 165 receptions, 1,966 yards and 18 touchdowns for the 2013 Northern Illinois University football team. They're all back in 2014, and much is expected of the Huskies' talented, experienced and versatile corps of pass catchers.
In his second season as NIU wide receivers coach, Thad Ward is looking for big things from his receivers, especially given the versatility and depth of the group.
"I like the versatility in our group; you have to have that. I like being able to look up to some of my tall receivers, but you also need those little, quick guys that can make things happen in space," Ward said. "Our receivers go from 5-foot-7 to 6-foot-5, so it's definitely nice to have that versatility."
Ward also likes what he's seen from a leadership perspective from NIU's two senior wide receivers, Lewis and Brown.
"The seniors are definitely stepping up and being the leaders they need to be," Ward said. "Both of them are having great camps, and that's helping the young guys develop and continue to get better as well."
Lewis, who led the Huskies' receivers in receptions (86 catches) and all-purpose yardage (1,405 yards) last season, believes the wide receivers can be one of the most productive units on the team for NIU in 2014.
"We're definitely expecting big things from the receiving group," Lewis said. "We've got to keep working and pushing each other to get better, and we can help this team get back to where we want to be."
Head coach Rod Carey likes the experience and depth from NIU's receiving corps, which includes six returning players that recorded multiple receptions in 2013.
"A lot of the receivers we played last season are going to play this season, and that's big because the quarterbacks always know they'll be in the right spot," said Carey. "Any time you have depth at a position like that, it's a huge positive because it's a long season."
Adding to that depth are several young receivers that Ward has been impressed with in training camp.
"Ezra Saffold (West Palm Beach, Fla./W.T. Dwyer) is a true freshman that's stepping up, and Christian Blake (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla./Cardinal Gibbons) is another true freshman having a pretty decent camp," Ward said. "Then you have guys like Chad Beebe (Aurora, Ill./Aurora Christian) having an awesome camp and just making plays over and over again. Clayton Glasper (Peoria, Ill./Richwoods) has also shown some flashes here and there. We've got some guys that have been very productive so far."
With an abundance of talent and versatility in both experience and youth, the Huskie wide receivers are poised to be one of the strengths of the 2014 NIU football team.
PRACTICE NOTES: Friday's practice took place under clear skies with moderate temperatures and occasional wind gusts...The workout was the seventh practice of training camp for the NIU football team...Several wide receivers made impressive catches, with Juwan Brescacin and Chad Beebe both making spectacular one-handed touchdown grabs...Aregeros Turner (Copley, Ohio/Copley) finished practice with a sensational touchdown reception on a "Hail Mary" pass from quarterback Drew Hare (O'Fallon, Mo./Fort Zumwalt West) at the end of a two-minute drill...Running back Akeem Daniels (Kissimmee, Fla./Osceola) broke off the longest run of the session, scoring on a 20-yard sprint...The defense and special teams also enjoyed some success, winning several red-zone battles, highlighted when freshman cornerback Mayomi Olootu (Allen, Texas/Allen) came off the edge to block a field-goal attempt...The Huskies have two practices scheduled for Saturday: a morning workout at 9:15 a.m. and an evening session at 7:30 p.m.

I ventured out to the dreaded mall yesterday to find a pair of badass gladiator sandals. Winners had a really awesome pair, but they were $40. I was not prepared to pay that much. Then I went to Payless and saw a pair of gladiator-like sandals that did not have an ankle strap. They were $30, which was still too much for something that wasn't perfect. Then off to Old Navy. There was the perfect style of gladiators there but the quality was absolutely terrible. Perhaps if I had more money, I would be willing to shell out for the The moral of the story is: I should've bought a pair last year, before Old Navy started making crappy knockoffs.
In other news, I found my new favourite purse for $1 at St. Vincent's. It's the perfect shape and the nude-grey colour is pretty awesome too. It looks perfect when worn with a simple outfit, like a plain white shirt and jeans.

TOGlympics - how shall we run it?
Okay, the construction of the TOGlympics event sites has been going really well so now I would like some suggestions on how to run the "competition" next weekend.
I am thinking of running two "official" sessions as a Divisional get-together -
one on Saturday night and the other on Sunday afternoon.
This is to try and make sure there is less chance of people missing out completely. However, what we do on those two days has two main issues - time and teams.
Length/Time of events
Some events can be run quickly, like rowing or swimming races. They allow multiple contestants at once. Other events are more drawn out because they have multiple stages (e.g. mini golf) or can only have a small amount of contestants (e.g. fencing, high diving). The marathon is by its nature a lengthy race.
So my concern is how much can we fit in if we only want to fill in a couple of hours. Three hours would be the absolute maximum I think I could ask you to stay on the server for. Two hours is the preferred length.
As a result, we won't be able to fit all the events in each night, so I suspect we will need to split them between nights.
Playing as Teams
We like competing as individuals. As individuals we can make silly names for the countries we represent (thanks to Obsi for that idea) and may be make a row of flags for them. However, some events are team events (e.g. fowl hockey, any relays). Other events can be run as team events using a points system (e.g. archery, fishing). So the question is how do we account for team sports when working out the "victor" of the games?
One day for individuals, one for teams?
My first idea is to run one day for individuals and only correspond to the key individual events. The Marathon can be the final one.
The other day can be for the team sports, starting with the team-only sports then working on the other ones until time is up. The teams can be decided on the day for those who turn up. Depending on numbers, we could have 2, 3 or 4 teams, each marked in non-combat environments by different coloured armour.
Your thoughts?
Any way, they are my initial thoughts. What are your suggestions? If you like mine, which would you want first, the individual day or the team day?

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- When it comes to Saturday's first-round NCAA Tournament game, Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder isn't expecting anything different from a C. Vivian Stringer-coached team.
One of Stringer's main stamps on her Hall of Fame career has been full-court, in-your-face pressure defense and an up-tempo style offense. After a few days of breaking down film, Bluder told media members assembled at Wednesday's press conference inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena that she saw the same old Stringer.
"It was pretty much as expected," Bluder said. "Great full court press and a full-court defense. They are an up-tempo type of transition t-am. Going into this game, we know we are going to have to break the press."
Iowa has faced a few Big Ten Conference opponents this season that have utilized a softer, three-quarters court press, but the Rutgers full-court attack is much different.
One advantage Iowa does have against a tough press is great guard play. Iowa's entire back-court has been asked to handle the ball against pressure. Not to mention, all three starting guards were named to all-Big Ten teams this season.
"We all have confidence in each other when it comes to handling the basketball," sophomore point guard Kamille Wahlin said. "Our offense isn't set in a way that I have to be the one to bring the ball up and call the play. Whether it's Jaime (Printy) or Kash (Alexander), we know we can get our offense working."
Bluder also expects a physical contest against the Scarlet Knights and is quick to mention the Big Ten Tournament run should have helped the Hawkeyes prepare for its NCAA opponent.
"We just got done playing two very physical opponents in Penn State and Michigan State," Bluder said. "I think Rutgers is pretty comparable to a Penn State. They (Rutgers) aren't extremely tall, but they are physical and athletic."
Rutgers has only one player, second team all-Big East pick Brittany Ray, who is scoring double figures at 14.5 points per game. Bluder believes Ray will be a tough matchup and is very deserving of her honors.
"She's a very good three point shooter, and their best shooter," Bluder said. "She's a tough matchup."
Ray does the majority of Rutgers' three-point shooting. Rutgers is 112-of-389 from 3-point range, with Ray making shooting 63-of-165. April Sykes is next on the team with only 15 made treys.
When comparing numbers, Wahlin has attempted just 10 fewer long distance shots (214) than the rest of Rutgers' roster, minus Ray, combined (224).
"I don't think it's a secret that we like to shoot three's," Wahlin said. "But that's not our entire offense. We have guards who love to drive and dish and post players who do an excellent job in the paint."
Iowa and Rutgers face off Saturday at 7:16 p.m. (CT) Saturday. The game can be seen regionally on ESPN2, and nationally on espn360.com.

Bianchi Dairy
The Bianchi family is now in their fourth generation on the farm. George and Susan Bianchi started out on their current ranch in 1965. Their son Bill grew up on this ranch, and now Bill and his father run the ranch together. Bill and Lisa's three children also like to help out on the farm. They've been certified organic since August 2006, and are successfully raising all of their calves organically. The Bianchi's dairy has always been pasture-based anyway, making the conversion to organic much easier. The Bianchi's appreciate the peace of mind of not having to worry about medicine in cows, and are happy to be paid a more consistent, premium price from Wallaby for their organic milk.
"This is a part of the country that cares about organic farming. It's a deeply held belief system. It's also more profitable to do it the right way. As it should be."

Looking for advice from all you medical professionals out there.
Is there any medical condition that would cause a child to be abnormally large? I've heard if prader-willi, what are the symptoms of that?
Now its entirely possible I'm overrecting, but my dd's size is starting to worry me. She is 11 months old, weighs 29-30lbs, size 6 diaper (and they are tight) and she is growing out of size 24 months. She is also tall for her age. Hitting milestones (almost walking) on time.
She doesn't even eat that much....mostly tablefood and when she is full she swipes her food on the floor. She nurses 3-4 times a day, and we cosleep and she nurses some @ night but not long. Obviously I can't tell how much she is getting, but I feel my supply has dropped some.
Am I just being a worry wort or is her size concerning?
UPDATE: Apparently her size is concerning. Her ped referred us to a pediatric endocrinologist for "unexplained obesity". She's 33lbs (gained 4.5lbs in 3 months...was 28.6lbs at 9 month visit), 32 inches, and wears a 3t and 5w shoe. I am freaking out, but also trying to remain calm and stay away from google. Say a prayer for my baby girl please!

On Tuesday, May 20th, the Three Village Central School district residents will be asked to vote on the proposed 2014-2015 school budget. The school budget represents a 1.91% spending increase and a 1.27% tax levy increase, as described in The Reporter, the official newsletter of the Three Village School District. Since the tax levy increase does not exceed the tax cap, the budget requires a simple majority of the voters to approve it. A vote tallying 50% plus 1 will successfully pass the budget.
What are the negatives?
- According to the TVCSD budget details, nine full time employee (FTE) teaching positions will be cut in order to meet the tax cap. This includes a reduction of 4.5 FTE positions as a result of declining enrollment.
What are the positives?
As stated in The Reporter:
- Balanced class size within the elementary and secondary level.
- Preservation of core academic programs and co-curricular programs including athletics, arts and music.
- Enhancement of safety and security district wide
In addition, as part of the tax freeze credit, eligible homeowners may receive a rebate check from New York State based on the fact that the school district budget is under the state-imposed 2 percent cap.
For additional details, visit the TVSCD budget information. The Village Times Herald blog has been active with comments and arguments for and against the budget. As community members, we have the ability to voice our opinions. Most importantly, we have the obligation to cast our vote on Tuesday, May 20th.

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – Washington State University Cheer finished 12th overall after advancing to the finals, Sunday, Jan. 19, at the Universal Cheerleaders Association Cheerleading Team National Championships held at ESPN's Wide World of Sports. WSU's dance team, the Crimson Girls, also placed 12th in the Division IA Hip Hop division at the Universal Dancers Association Dance Team National Championships, Saturday, while also competing in the Jazz division.
Cougar Cheer is coached by Chris Opheim, in his second season with WSU, while the Crimson Girls are coached by third-year coach, Maggie Kazemba, a former Crimson Girl. Opheim is a former head judge at the competition and is a 10-year UCA staff instructor.
"Watch out for this new team [Washington State], there will be a lot of success in its future," CEO/Founder Universal Cheerleaders Association, Jeff Webb said. "[It is] Definitely a team on the rise."
"It was an exciting weekend for the WSU Spirit Squads," Opheim said. "Cheer made it into the finals and finished 12th in their first time competing. The Crimson Girls also finished 12th in Hip Hop – their best finish ever at UDA Nationals. They had a strong showing in Jazz – their first time competing in that category, and that was in the most competitive division in the entire competition. With the young squads that we have in cheer and Crimson Girls, only three graduating seniors competed between both squads, there's a lot to look forward to for the future. I think we accomplished what we set out to do, and that was to bring some attention to WSU."
This year marked the first time WSU Cheer competed at the competition and the first time since 2008 that the squad competed in any competition. Cougar Cheer advanced to Sunday's final with 12 other squads, after holding sixth place following the preliminary round. WSU became the first cheer squad since Kansas in the early 2000s to advance to the finals in its debut season at the competition. The Cougars had some unfortunate dropped stunts during the finals round.
Kentucky Cheer was crowned national champion after a stellar performance, claiming its 20th national title. Central Florida was second, followed by Alabama in third, Mississippi in fourth and LSU in fifth. WSU and LSU were the only schools west of the Mississippi River to advance to the finals.
Just nine teams advanced to the finals in the Hip Hop category of the dance competition, as the Crimson Girls placed 12th of 18 teams during the preliminary round. The finish is the best the squad has placed in Hip Hop at the UDA Championships in school history. Cincinnati won the competition, followed by UNLV, LSU, Memphis, and Kentucky in fifth. Minnesota won the Jazz division, followed by Tennessee, Ohio State, Arizona State and Colorado in fifth. This season is the first time since 2009 that the Crimson Girls competed at the UDA Dance Team National Championship after competing in the United Spirit Association Championships.
Sixteen of the 32 Cougar Cheer Squad members competed at the championships in Florida, including nine males and seven females. Of the 16 cheer members in Florida, seven were freshman while just one was a senior.
All 16 Crimson Girls competed at the Dance Competition, including two seniors that were a part of the team that captured the hip hop championship at the United Spirit Association Championships in 2012 and placed third last season in the same category.
WSU and Colorado Cheer became the first Pac-12 cheer squads to compete at the competition since Arizona State and Oregon State in 2006 and were two of just five teams west of the Mississippi River that competed this year (LSU, San Diego State and BYU). The Crimson Girls were one of three Pac-12 dance squads competing, joined by Arizona State and Colorado.

I not sure it's know bugs or not but i try to post.
1) Infinitive laser ammo by manufacture.
Build Scattered laser (heavy) -important! this works only with scattered laser another lasers act corectly.
Build 1 laser ammo.
Put Scattered laser in solder hands. They not take the last ammo.
Put Scattered laser in store. They returned the ammo rounds now you have 2.
Repeat the process.
2) When research the heavy laser they say you can produce laser weapon for vecicles but acctually not.
3) Gattling gun name in manufacture is ######
4) Infinitive ammo in battle. It works with any weapon. You need in solder backpack medipack. Then shoot the with weapon. Weapon ammo 11/15. Then go to inventory take the medipack and put in hands. Weapon automaticly goes in backpack and reloaded no use the ammo rounds. If you just put weapon in backpack not reloaded only throught medipack.
5) Medipack in battle not heal the solders.
6) Then i want to test ammo status with laser weapons when complete the battle, but there goes wrong: man with scattered laser be shooted by alien. And now i got strange result in base. Not sure about 100% but 90% probably be in that way.
The man was killed and then i check base ammo status. And what we got: We got 2 scattered lasers instead of one.
They multiply when solder was dead. And we got too two additional ammo rounds by this lasers. I have two and now got 4. Another solder shoots with precision laser and be rounds 9/10. On base we got 4 rounds that means the laser reloaded ammo on base by free. When i see the status of precision laser they be 10/10. The main problem is i'm not sure that on base after test manufacture multiply rounds (see point 1) left 2 ammo. Maybe there be more and that a few of ammo bug test maybe wrong. About scattered laser multiply after dead i'm 100% sure. But you are free to retest this in batlle by self. In my save game battles are very rare and time is very close to end demo version. And battles on my PC goes very long and it's annoying process. Because i not want to retest by me.

You can't store your camera and a few brewskis in the The Camera Cooler Bag ($50) at the same time (that would just be asking for trouble!), but you can use it for either/or, depending on your needs. That's good enough for us! On weekdays, it's large and insulated enough to store our lunches, and come Saturday, adding the insert gives us padded pockets, perfect for toting our DSLR to and from fall festivals with plenty of photo ops.
