One of the prevailing storylines in Monday night's game between the New Orleans Saints and Miami Dolphins will be the fateful free-agent battle the teams waged seven years ago over Drew Brees.
As we all know, the Saints recorded the first major victory of the Sean Payton era when they signed Brees to a six-year, $60 million contract in March 2006. One could argue it was the greatest win of Payton's career other than Super Bowl XLIV.
The Dolphins were heavily favored to land Brees. The Saints pulled off the upset, an "Ambush" before the famous Super Bowl "Ambush" of 2009. The rest is history.
Although it appears someone would like to revise that history.
"We chose Drew Brees," former Dolphins now Alabama coach Nick Saban told South Florida radio station 790-AM The Ticket last December. "I've never ever talked about this publicly and I think a lot of players know this. ... We think Drew Brees was an outstanding player. That's the guy we made the first offer to. And, quite frankly, he didn't pass the physical with our organization, so we had to go (with Daunte Culpepper)."
Which one is it, Nick? Sounds like you chose the docs not Drew.
Does anyone really believe Nick Saban allowed a bunch of quacks to tell him who his quarterback would be.
Brees remembers it slightly differently. In his book, "Coming Back Stronger," Brees said he and his agent, Tom Condon, believed the Dolphins were simply trying to leverage him for a cheaper deal. He said Condon told him the battery of medical tests Miami conducted on Brees was a negotiating tactic to lower Brees' asking price.
"Here's what's going to happen: Miami will call tomorrow," Brees said Condon told him. "They're going to say that the physical didn't turn out as well as they had hoped. They're going to threaten to pull the offer. ... Not only do I know it, but I can pretty much guarantee it."
Brees said that's exactly what happened. The next day, Brees said Saban told him the Dolphins' medical staff believed he had only a 25 percent chance of coming back and playing and that the Dolphins would have to lower their initial contract offer to him.
"I do believe I was their first choice," Brees said in a conference call with South Florida reporters Thursday. "But, at the end of the day, I felt like New Orleans was the best fit for me for a lot of reasons, not just football. I know that (the Dolphins) ran me through a whole round of physicals and evaluations and all kinds of stuff when I was there, which was not a good experience obviously, but I understood. They were going to put a big investment in me, so (the Dolphins) wanted to be sure."
Dolphins owner Wayne Huizenga later said the team's doctors believed there was a 25 percent chance Brees would re-injure his shoulder at some point in his career.
"I do remember (Saban) saying that their doctors felt like I had a 25 percent chance of coming back and playing," said Brees, who had been injured in the 2005 season finale with San Diego. "If you're going on those statistics, you make the decisions based upon that."
To their credit, the Saints rolled the dice. Frankly, they could afford to take a chance. They were coming off a 3-13 season and in rebuilding mode. If Brees wasn't fully recovered until 2007, so what. Time was on their side. Expectations were low.
The Dolphins, meanwhile, had won their final six games of 2005 to finish 9-7. They were in win-now mode.
Money also played a role. It always does.
At the time, South Florida media outlets reported Brees' camp had demanded $10 million in guaranteed money in the first year of the contract. The Saints didn't blink at the price. The Dolphins did.
In his book "Home Team," Payton said the offer Miami made to Brees "wasn't in the same ballpark as ours."
Brees, however, said "the money was almost identical from both teams" in his book, "Coming Back Stronger."
The exact value of Miami's offer to Brees is unknown but it's notable that Culpepper's deal was significantly less than the one Brees eventually signed in New Orleans. The Dolphins paid Culpepper $2 million in Year 1, $5.5 million in Year 2 and $6 million in Year 3. The Saints paid Brees $10 million in his first year and included a $12 million roster bonus in Year 2.
"We can sit back and kind of chuckle about it now," Brees said Thursday. "There's no hard feelings and you know what, everything happened the way it was supposed to. So I don't think about it for a second. I really don't. Obviously, coach Saban has gone on and probably would not trade his career path for anything either."
Maybe so. But Saban's legacy as an NFL coach will forever be tainted by his fateful decision in March 2006.
Since then, the Dolphins have started 10 different quarterbacks, gone 48-67 and failed to win a playoff game.
The Saints, meanwhile, have gone 72-43, won the first Super Bowl in club history and seen Brees start every game except the meaningless 2009 season finale.
That's a history the Dolphins and Saban would surely love to revise.

Release Date: 2001-01-01
Genre: Drama,
Rating: NR
Duration: 1hr 59min
A drama based on a real experiment carried out in Palo Alto, California where a group of scientists gathered 20 people and had them carry out a psychological experiment for a cash reward. As part of the research project, the recruits were divided up into prisoners and guards. In a controlled penitentiary-like environment, "Prisoners" are incarcerated and ordered to obey the rules; "Guards" are instructed to keep order. They are thrown headfirst into a two-week long examination of the effects of assigned roles, power and control. That's what happens to Tarek, Prisoner # 77, an ex-journalist convinced he will emerge with a fascinating story. At first, the prisoners treat their roles with detached humor and playfulness, and the guards treat theirs with nervous unease. But within hours, small conflicts and petty disputes force all twenty men deeper into their assigned roles. As these trivial skirmishes quickly escalate, the guards must explore any possible means to keep the prisoners in line, without the use of force--but once a revolt erupts, tragedy strikes.

Wegzyn said last year's struggles have both motivated and educated him.
"It was good to see I've improved. I spent more time in the film room than a lot of people would have liked. I'm glad I can see improvement from it and know that I'm getting stuff out of what I'm doing. That just makes me want to continue on that path and keep moving forward," he said. Coming off last year, there's a bad taste in everybody's mouth. We're going to hit the field running. Last year doesn't reflect how I, or anyone on the team, can, will and should play. Success isn't sweet without failure. If there's not something bad, you wouldn't know how good something is."

Gov. Christie Slams Democrats — and GOP — Over Spending
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie came to Washington Wednesday to slam both parties for what he described as their "irresponsible" and "dangerous" game in not addressing the country's shaky entitlement programs.
The Republican governor accused both the White House and Republicans in Congress of irresponsibility for failing to propose fixes for Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, all of which face solvency problems in coming years.
"What game is being played here is irresponsible and it's dangerous," he told a packed house at the conservative American Enterprise Institute. "We are on the path to ruin."
In office just over a year, Mr. Christie has gained unusual prominence within Republican ranks as a brash cost-cutter who hasn't shied from fierce battles with the state's teachers union and other groups.
A national unknown when he won election in 2009, the former prosecutor is now mentioned as a possible 2012 presidential contender, mainly by conservatives yearning for someone to shake up what they fear will be a lackluster field. Mr. Christie has insisted he has no intention to seek higher office next year.
"What do I have to do outside of threatening to commit suicide to convince people I'm not running?" he told the gathering. He said he was simply not ready to run for president and had plenty of work to do in New Jersey.
"And besides, my wife would kill me," he said.
Mr. Christie drew laughter when he tossed off his own plan to fix Social Security, which he said was both obvious and shunned as the kiss of death by most politicians.
"We hare going to have to raise the retirement age," he said. "Uh oh. I said it, and I'm still here. I am not vaporized into the carpet. "
The governor lashed into President Barack Obama for not addressing "the big things" and instead championing costly initiatives such high-speed rail and promoting electric cars when he should be addressing the country's fiscal problems.
"Ladies and gentlemen, those are the candy of American politics," he said of the Obama spending priorities. "Those aren't the big things."
Mr. Christie went out of his way to jab both the newly emboldened House Republicans and to praise Democrats who he said were doing the right things, particularly the newly elected New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
The Republican Governors Association this week put Mr. Christie in charge of its policy shop, proof of his emergence as one of the GOP's top thinkers.
Mr. Christie managed to close a $11 billion budget deficit this year with a mix of cost cuts and accounting maneuvers.

When does the final edition come out?
I've never been sold on Shared Belief, and still am not.....guess only time will tell, but I don't see him in the same league as C.C.
I can't believe with todays technology and the countless number of sheet & fig producers out there that NOONE else has noticed or mentioned that the fractions and/or time of this race is WAY OFF!! NO way they ran the final 1/4 in 17 & change OR took 3.6 seconds off the world record for this distance! lol
Obviously you missed the studies that show polytrack mearly changes WHAT injuries horses sustain, NOT prevent injuries! It is NOT safer than a well maintained dirt track, ie. Churchill, Belmont, Saratoga...and i'm sure KEENELAND. Besides, whats the point of a track having a turf and fake turf track and leaving out all dirt racing?!?
Very nice work!
Just watched Tapitsphere's race...WOW!! According to the chart, he ran his final 16th in under 6 sec?!? I"
I believe Quality Road will be a tremendous sire! AND he's already off to a good start!
Anyone know where Winchester is now?? I think he'd make a nice stallion!
I think 5 is conservative, I really can see him winning this closer to 10 WHILE easing up...

College Hockey:Brown power play spoils Crimson Biega's hat trick
BOSTON — In the latest edition of college hockey's oldest rivalry, two unranked Ivies battled like champions in a wild, brutal and explosive contest. In a match that featured a natural hat trick, 15 penalties, three power-play goals and some seriously clustered scoring, it was Brown that took home the win Friday night, 4-3, over Harvard at the Crimson's Bright Hockey Center.
Freshman Garnet Hathaway, sophomore Chris Zaires, junior Bobby Farnham and senior Harry Zolnierczyk scored for the Bears (5-5-4 overall, 3-3-1 in the ECAC), who rallied from a 3-2 third-period deficit to wrest the win. Rookie Marco DeFilippo stopped 32 for his second collegiate victory.
"I thought it was ugly at times," said head coach Brendan Whittet. "I thought we competed in stretches, and then didn't compete, and got away from what makes us successful as a team for stretches of that game. But the fact of the matter is that we won a game where we were down a goal going into the third, and that's a big two points for us."
"There's a number of guys that are feeling some kind of 24-hour flu right now," said Zolnierczyk after the game. "That was a big character win for us, especially being down one goal in the third, coming back and finding a way to win. That's big for us right now."
Senior Michael Biega scored all three goals for the Crimson (3-10-0, 2-9-0), who dropped their ninth decision in 10 games (1-9-0). Junior Alex Killorn and sophomore Danny Biega each had two assists, and senior Ryan Carroll made 31 saves in defeat.
"We took a penalty in the third, and they got two goals off it," said Harvard head coach Ted Donato. "We were probably an inch away from getting the puck out, and it ends up in our net. It's frustrating, I think the guys worked very hard. We did a lot of things we wanted to do, I'm proud of their effort, I just think it's frustrating. We're all frustrated.
"As a coach, I have to be honest with them: I think they played hard, I think we did a lot of good things, we're doing enough good things to give ourselves a chance to win games, but we're also shooting ourselves in the foot."
Each team generated a handful of solid opportunities in the first half of the period, with the real Grade-A chances favoring Harvard. Crimson Killorn had the first good look on a juicy rebound, but he ran himself out of an angle with an open goal to shoot at. Brown's Matt Wahl had his own frustrating moment a few minutes later on an even more lethal rebound, but Carroll's big mitt was in just the right spot to make a diving cross-crease snare.
The first period became rather disjointed in the last five minutes, as four non-matching minors — two on each side — in 3:15 of playing time prevented either team from finding its rhythm. The Bears out-shot the Crimson 15-10 in the first 20 minutes, and each team was 0-2 on the power play.
"The power plays on paper were even in the first period," said Donato. "We took ourselves off of two power plays in the first—we had two power plays that lasted 15 seconds. In a game that was pretty tight, I think that was the difference."
Opening the second period 4-on-4, Brown nearly busted the draw on a bang-bang play. Looping up from behind the goal line, Zolnierczyk fed Garnet Hathaway on Carroll's right post, all the way across the crease. Hathaway made the heads-up tip-pass back to classmate Mark Hourihan on the left post, but the 6-foot-2 winger inexplicably shot the puck right back into Carroll's desperate gut rather than his yawning net.
Brown ended up scoring first anyway, as Hourihan found Zaires alone at the back door for an easy tip-in. Bruno then doubled its pleasure merely 35 seconds later, as Farnham eluded defenders six feet in front of Carroll and deftly whipped home the Bears' second goal.
Harvard responded promptly only 32 seconds after that as Killorn slid a firm cross-ice feed to Michael Biega 8:28 into the period. Biega then popped in his second only 1:16 later, knotting the game at 2-2 only 2:23 after Brown's first strike.
The physical play interrupted the Ivy goal bonanza, as the squads became increasingly preoccupied with payback on the ice, rather than on the scoreboard. Two players per side received hitting-after-the-whistle minors in the contest's 33rd minute in what amounted to the third collegiate equivalent of a line brawl.
"It was a pretty physical game. I thought Harvard actually had the better of the physical play," said Whittet. "I thought they were kinda bouncing us around a little bit."
Harvard finally managed to take advantage of the game's spotty discipline, as Michael Biega earned his hat-trick on a cross-ice feed from Eric Kroshus. Kroshus passed to Biega from the left-wing circle, and the Montreal sniper skated across the grain to dangle the puck past DeFilippo.
"Mike made some great plays. He really worked hard," praised Donato. "He's got great skill and can really shoot the puck, and when he moves his feet, he's a dangerous guy. I think he really gave us a lift in the second period — that whole line out there, with Killorn and Everson, was a concern for them all night. I think that's a good sign for us."
After 40 minutes of play, Brown still held the lead in shots 27-21, but it was the Crimson who held the 3-2 lead in goals. It was only the second time all season that Harvard led at the second horn, and the first time since November 12 at St. Lawrence.
Hathaway drew an interference minor at the Harvard blue line while attempting to enter the zone, and he took yet another back-door play to the bank for the extra-attacker equalizer. Zolnierczyk pulled off the same move only 19 seconds later on the power play from Jake Goldberg and Jack Maclellan to put Brown ahead for good.
"It was a play that was a nice keep-in by our D-men," said Zolnierczyk. "I kinda moved it over to Jack, Jack made a nice pass to Goldy, and I was sitting on the weak side on my own, and he just kinda put it right off my stick and in."
"Our goal was to control the puck low, and try to create stuff off of low possession, and I thought at times we did that," remarked Whittet on Brown's sneaky success.
Action got heavy as Donato pulled Carroll with 1:10 to play, and DeFilippo may have inadvertently saved himself some stress when he lost his stick and blocker trying to track down a puck at his right post. The Crimson couldn't quite break Brown's ferocious defense in the game's waning moments, and Bruno emerged with the puck and the win as the final buzzer sounded.
"My teammates made it a lot easier," said DeFilippo. "A lot of the shots were from the outside, so they really helped me out."
"It's just time to see what Marco can do, and I thought he played pretty well," assessed Whittet. "He did what a goalie's supposed to do: He makes the saves he's supposed to make, and at the end there he stopped a flurry. He allowed us an opportunity to win that game."
Harvard hosts top-ranked Yale Saturday night, while Brown continues northward to tangle with Dartmouth.

Your Body Makes it's Own Glutathione...
Glutathione is the body's natural safeguard against premature aging. Your body makes it's own glutathione, unfortunately it just doesn't make enough of it anymore because of the onslaught of poor diet, lack of sleep, stress, toxins, and free-radicals. This is why we are aging, (even young people) faster than ever before.
The only way to raise glutathione significantly was to have expensive intravenous treatments. In 2007 Max International brought MaxGXL to the world, the first oral supplement that effectively raised intra-cellular glutathione levels.

Which Max Product Is Best For Me?
Some people who started with MaxGXL swear by it and even though there have been significant breakthroughs with RiboCeine they would not use anything else. It is comes down to personal preference, after reading the product sheet on Cellgevity (Cellgevity Product Info) and you find there is nothing you may be allergic to then go for it, however if you have any concerns about a certain ingredient in Cellgevity then I would say go with MaxOne and if you are prone to coughs and colds in the winter alternate between MaxOne and N-Fuse or take both.

Pain Relief
Pain relief is something that most people with problems such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, back pain etc, truly desire yet most people hate the thought of popping harmful prescription pills that are only a temporary fix anyway.

It seems to be a word that is becoming very popular, so what does longevity mean for you?
Achieving a long and healthy life is not an easy task. With all the toxins out there and even the food we eat no longer have all the nutrients that it used to have as soils are depleting.
But good health can be a simple thing, explains Dr Herb Nagasawa, a renowned medicinal chemist who has spent more than 25 years in glutathione research.
He says that true health and vitality resides in the body's trillions of cells. If the body's cells are healthy and function optimally, then the body can achieve optimal wellness, experience high energy, and enjoy a new sense of vitality. If the cells don't have the necessary nutrients or are otherwise underperforming, then the body can experience any number of health problems.
So now where back to what can you do to have a longer healthier life?
The answer is to accelerate the production of Glutathione in the body. Glutathione is often called the body's "master antioxidant" and "master cell protector" as a result of its wide-ranging and potent neutralizing effect on free radicals, toxins and oxidative stress. The antioxidant protection afforded by glutathione is essential to protect the eyes, skin, kidneys, liver, and many other organs from oxidative stress and toxin exposure.
Cellgevity is the ultimate in glutathione enhancement.
So live longer, live healthier, live everyday with vitality.

The New Orleans Saints re-signed safety Jonathon Amaya, team spokesman Greg Bensel confirmed. Amaya went into the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent, meaning the Saints could keep him as long as they offered a one-year, $540,000 tender.
The Saints have signed three of their four exclusive rights free agents. They also signed deals with receiver Adrian Arrington and long snapper Justin Drescher last week. The remaining unsigned exclusive rights free agent is center Brian de la Puente.

Fashionistas turned out on Thursday, May 15 to support the 7th annual " I will Reflect" a fundraising event for skin cancer research at The Spa in Charleston Place.
The S in S.P.F is for skin. The Environmental Protection Agency's website states: "in 2009, more than 1 million people were diagnosed with skin cancer, making it the most common of all cancers. About 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer during their lifetimes."
SPF is the acronym for sun protection factor. What do the SPF numbers on sun protection products really mean? The effect of a sunscreen's SPF number depends on your MED (minimal enteral dose). MED is defined as how long it takes the sunlight in a particular place on a practical day to turn your skin barely pink. The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine lists approximate safe exposure times for different skin types using an SPF of 15 as:
Fair skin - 1.5 to 2 hours
Medium skin - 5 to 5.5 hours
Dark skin - all day
Higher SPF sunscreen numbers deliver diminishing returns. An SPF 15 product blocks about 94% of UVB rays; SPF 30 product blocks 97% of UVB rays; and an SPF 45 product blocks about 98% of rays. Apply 1 ounce or 2 tablespoons of sunscreen to your entire body 20 to 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every 2 hours after swimming or excessive sweating.
Reapplying sunscreen does not give you extended protection. It just restores the protection you had originally.
The P. in S.P.F. is for party. A rainy overcast day did not dampen the party's festivities.
The pool area of the Spa provided an elegant and relaxed atmosphere and the food and wine is always excellent at Charleston Place. Party Dad provided music.
The F. in S.P.F. is for fashion. The evening ended with a swimwear fashion show narrated by Stacy Smallwood of Hampden Clothing. The swimwear was provided by Everything but Water and Tommy Bahama. Accessories were provided by local boutiques.

Business continuity for market infrastructures
What is business continuity?
It is a state of uninterrupted operation of a business. The term "business continuity" refers to all of the organisational, technical and staffing measures that are employed to ensure the continuation of
- all core business activities in the immediate aftermath of a crisis and
- gradually guarantee the continued operation of business activities as a whole in the event of sustained and severe disruptions.
Why business continuity is important
Achieving financial stability in Europe depends inter alia on the smooth functioning of the EU payment and security settlement systems. As financial markets are highly interconnected across national borders, incidents occurring in one market infrastructure might have a domino effect and easily spread into other systems.
Sharing information as key to resilience
Business continuity preparedness is crucial among all financial market participants across Europe due to the existence of common infrastructure and the high degree of interdependencies between them.
The European System of Central Banks (ESCB) promotes information sharing in this field for the following reasons:
- An exchange of best practices in implementing existing national, European and global standards can contribute to further increasing resilience on a European level, by increasing the level of reciprocal information and understanding;
- It facilitates the provision of coherent, up-to-date and easily accessible information on euro area or international BC standards or initiatives, links to relevant information maintained by the other EU central banks on national BC requirements and market arrangements in this field.

Mississippi Damned Movie Reviews
User reviews on Mississippi Damned
I'd never heard of Mississippi Damned and I happened to come across it on my guide and I know that I am going to be watching it again on the 25th when it comes on again. I can't even sum up how I feel about the movie in one word because it's so deep. It really made me think about my culture and what people go through on a daily basis. I can say there is another good thing about the movie because it's going to be showing in HD on Showtime. I work and subscribe to DISH Network and I am using the HD Free for Life promotion so I get to watch this movie and all other movies that comes on Showtime in the best quality possible and the best thing about it is I will never pay another penny for it. DISH offers HD Free for Life on their lowest package which is the America's Top 120 and DISH still offers the most HD channels out of any of the competitors. I always recommend DISH Network and I am inviting anyone who comes across this post to explore the endless possibilities with DISH Network and experience a value unheard of by any other TV provider!

Open Letter from the Owners of Sylvan Springs
To All of Our Lady's Faithful Children,
On behalf of my entire family, I would like to express our sincere thanks to all who have been supportive of Our Lady of America and our private effort to preserve this Holy Ground for the use of all those in need of God's healing grace. For all of those who have given their help to OLTIV, I can assure you it has been worthwhile. So many more people have come to know about Our Lady of America through their efforts.
It has been a unique privilege and opportunity to do this work at Our Lady's request. It was not what we had intended on doing when we started on this venture seven years ago, but it turns out it is exactly what She had in mind.
I have learned many things along the way:
Our Lady has a keen sense of humor. Most mothers do when it comes to their children. She has used us in so many crazy ways that, once you stop and realize what She has just gotten you to do, you can't help but sit and laugh at how incredibly funny She is. Her escort angels are pretty hilarious too, but you'll all have to wait a little longer to hear about them and their antics.
We have had so many people show up at this place, with the same bewildered look on their face, saying "Forgive me, but I have no idea why I'm here." We soon came to learn that the Holy Spirit was guiding these people here (some from overseas) for specific reasons, each one different from the last. We learned to drop what we were doing and attend to them so God could do His work with these people. Each one of these visitors left here healed in the specific way they needed. I've learned that people should come expecting nothing but take what they are given because Our Lady knows you better than you know yourself and She will give you what you need, not necessarily what you want.
People have often asked about the water and the healings. I've learned the water is a metaphor for God's grace that emanates from this property. It has been this way from the very beginning when the future Archbishop Noll helped the young Dr. Geiermann to acquire the property for its use as a healing center. It was then supported over the years by the hard work and sacrifices made by the many devoted Sisters of The Precious Blood who worked tirelessly, some even giving their lives, to help heal those who were sent here for healing or tender care in their last days. I feel it is because of these committed acts of love that Our Lady chose this place to deliver the central Our Lady of America messages.
Just as the spring water that flows year-round from underneath this property collects in the ponds and canals before finally overflowing into the river tributary where it joins the rest of the world, so it is with the special graces that flow from this place. People come here, receive these graces, and end up taking some extra blessings with them which, in turn, are passed on to others they come into contact with.
I think it is no coincidence that the dramatic increase in frequency of reported healings and spiritual awakenings taking place here (examples of God' graces) share the same timeline as the rebirth of a once-dormant spring. This spring had not flowed since the Sisters of The Precious Blood left this place in 1977 and it suddenly erupted back to life on Good Friday afternoon a few weeks ago. This increase in God's graces is being echoed in the unheard of doubling of the life-sustaining spring waters flowing from this property. This is a definite sign that should be properly acknowledged.
If there is one thing I would like everyone to remember, it is this:
Our Lady of America knows what you need and also knows what those around you need. She knows how to use us to move these graces amongst her children like the flowing water. Water always finds the path of least resistance just like God's graces. Stop trying so hard and just work on being obedient. Be less resistant. Say "yes" to Her call and She will do the rest.
We have never felt like owners of this property even though we have always felt a great responsibility to act as stewards in preparing it for its highest and best use.
We knew nothing about Our Lady of America when we took this project on, but we have learned what we need to do to help ensure the success of Sylvan Springs in bringing families closer to Jesus Christ. We know what needs to be done.
Canon law requires that shrines not be privately owned. They must be owned by a not-for-profit and overseen by a religious order that need to show a secondary use of the property besides that of a shrine. This facility could easily be run as a semi-retirement home for religious while serving the various pilgrims who are very interested in visiting. It is also set up to handle water bottling and athletic competitions on any of the twelve high-quality athletic fields which have been constructed. It could be a very unique situation for America.
We have been working for nearly two years to find the right group or individual to provide the funding support necessary to convert this property and hold it for Our Lady of America's work. Unfortunately, our ability to keep up this search has come to an end. Unless a solution to our needs presents itself immediately, we will be selling the property on the open market. This is a terribly painful decision for our family but it is the only option we have left.
If anyone reading this is interested in being a part of something special, please do not hesitate to contact us through the OLTIV email at email@example.com. We are open to suggestions from interested parties. Partnership opportunities, outright purchase, or leasing are possible business relationships that could ensure the success of this facility.

Managing Partner

The Sacramento Surge will play in the Major Arena Soccer League this season. Sacramento played in PASL (Professional Arena Soccer League) during its first two years as a franchise and have joined the new league. Earlier this year, several teams from the MISL (Major Indoor Soccer League) left and have joined the PASL. Since the reorganization of the indoor soccer franchises and the addition of the new teams, the PASL has renamed themselves the MASL.
With the new league, the Surge front office is also looking forward to playing in the MASL. In the first two seasons the team played at the Off the Wall Soccer Complex (2012-2013 season with a 1-14 record) and Estadio Azteca Soccer Arena (2013-2014 season, 3-13 record). Airrick Harvey (the team's CEO) and Ryan Hopping (General Manager) are driven to field a very competitive team that will not only entertain the fans but challenge for the Pacific Division title. This year is shaping up to be a very bright one for the young franchise.
Sacramento will be playing ten home games this season and will open this year on the road November 1st against the Turlock Express. The Surge will play their home games at a new 2,000 seat indoor soccer facility located at McClellan Park. The facility seating will be expandable to accommodate additional seating. A new head coach and player tryouts will announced soon.
For more details about the Sacramento Surge please visit http://www.sacsurge.com and check out the newly revamped website. You can also follow the team on Twitter at https://twitter.com/Sacsurge.

Sports Illustrated cover model turned actress Brooklyn Decker, recently sat down with Larry King for a candid interview on his online shoe Larry King Now.
During the interview the swimsuit model discussed life as a model upon her first arrival to New York at age 18 to pursue modeling, stating there were times she'd go "months without work" because her look wasn't in high demand.
Decker also revealed she found modeling "very empty" because she didn't feel like she was a part of the creativity process of the photo shoots -- she was "an on call employee," to wear clothes.
Sports Illustrated "created a career" for Decker, but Larry King was surprised to learn the magazine does not compensate models who are featured on the cover.
"You're lucky to be part of that family, that publication," Decker said, explaining further that the reason Sports Illustrated doesn't pay cover models is because being on such a high profile, national publication can drive a career. The publication "opened doors for me," said Decker.
Decker shed light on the new challenges she faces as an actor on the new CBS sitcom "Friends with Better Lives," and also how she met her husband, professional tennis star, Andy Roddick. "He was emotional on the court. That's what made him fun to watch."

STANFORD, Calif. - "Inside Stanford Sports with David Shaw" returns on Monday, Dec. 3, on the Cardinal's flagship radio station KNBR 1050. This Rose Bowl edition of the one-hour show kicks off at 8:00 p.m. PT and will be broadcast live from Gordon Biersch Palo Alto (640 Emerson Street).

This fifth edition of Inside Stanford Sports this Monday will bring junior defensive end Henry Anderson, senior tight end Zach Ertz and fifth-year senior punter Daniel Zychlinski to the microphone to talk fresh off the Cardinal's Pac-12 Championship and selection to play in the 99th Rose Bowl Game presented by VIZIO.
Anderson has been one of the nation's most dominant defensive lineman the second half of this season, with 11.5 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks since game seven. Ertz has broken the school tight end records and leads all FBS tight ends with 66 receptions for 837 yards. Zychlinski has led Stanford's special teams this year on and off the field, including career performances in November that keyed Cardinal field position and wins.
This episode of the Cardinal's monthly radio show will afford fans the opportunity to celebrate and honor the Rose Bowl-bound 2012 Pac-12 Champions and an unforgettable 11-2 regular season. Coach Shaw and players will also give their first insights into the Jan. 1 matchup against Wisconsin.

New Year's resolutions are usually treated as concrete for the first few weeks of January, but in many cases, either through a lack of willpower or just because they seemed too unrealistic to follow after a difficult period. Even though they seem to be so easy to break, every year, many of us choose to set ourselves new goals, but what have we gone for?
A survey revealing what resolutions we planned on making was conducted recently among people all over the UK. It showed that many of us had two things in mind when trying to make positive changes to our lives: health and finance. Both may be in response to the excesses of the Christmas and New Year period, which will have taken a toll on our wallets and waistlines!
Health first
The most popular choice of resolution was to try and do more exercise, with a whopping 91% of people saying this was their top priority. This can be pretty difficult to do for many of us, with work often getting in the way! Second choice was eating better, something 89% said they wanted to do throughout 2014. This can be easier, but it depends on cost.
Speaking of cost, 79% of people said they were hoping to spend less money over the next 12 months. This might be hard to achieve for those who are struggling to make ends meet, but giving up something like drinking or smoking, both of which figuring strongly in the survey, may help to boost the coffers while also providing a much-needed health kick.
The power of positivity
James Dunworth a Marketing and IT Director at E Cigarette Direct commented : "New Year is traditionally the time when we take a long hard look at our bad habits from the past 12 months and vow to do things better.
"While many of us decide to get more exercise and cut down on our bad habits, many others take positive steps to improve their lives by learning new skills or even changing their job or partner."
"There are many people who are planning to make such changes right now. It seems they are simply waiting to get Christmas out of the way before they turn their lives around," he concluded.

Rose. Tea. Book. by JosephTimburyWatch
©2011-2016 JosephTimbury
Here is my entry for a contest: [link]
The contest required having a rose, tea, or book in it, so I was fooling around with different ideas.
Photographer: Joseph Timbury (Me)
Tea Cup: Mom
Book: Dad
Roses: Local Flower Shop
Tea: African Roobis Tea
OMG this is just lovely. may I use this image for create the logo in my forum?
Very warm and soft--this is an amazing photo.
Books go perfect with tea and this picture is incredibly gorgeous, feminine and interesting.
Thank you very much. Do you have a particular favourite type of tea?
I like to try different flavours, but as a norm I tend to navigate towards black teas. Earl Grey is probably the tea I drink the most. I also quite like herbal teas such as lemon tea (from actual lemon peal) and peach tea (so yummy). I also adore Rooibos, though it's hard for me to get it where I'm from without it being mixed with another flavour (e.g. orange). What about you?
Rooibos is my favourite tea. I was fortunate enough to grab a pack of 180 tea bags when I returned from South Africa about three years ago. I mostly drink coffee, so I still have around 100 Rooibos tea bags left. I do appreciate lemon green teas with honey when I am sick.
Three great things. Nice shot. ^^

I've heard people talk about this murder and the name "Russell Ebersole" was mentioned a number of times. Have the police investigated him as a suspect? He's currently serving time in prison, he was sentenced in December 2013 by a Frederick County Circuit Court judge to two years for animal cruelty. I'm sure it won't be hard to track down which prison he's serving time at.

Exotic Erotic Ball founder Perry Mann has teamed with Tiki Tom Productions to launch the first annual Spring Shwing, set for March 31, 2007 at the East Bay's Area 51 Event Center.
"Our Bay Area Ball audience is going to absolutely love Spring Shwing," Mann said. "For years, the #1 request I've received - over and over - is to produce a second event for the Bay Area during the springtime. We picked the East Bay because it has always been hugely supportive of the Ball, and the views of San Francisco from Area 51 are breathtaking."
Built around an April Fool's theme, the Spring Shwing will include live musical acts, local DJs, burlesque, circus sideshows and "playful interactive fun." Featured as a location in the Matrix films, Area 51 contains over 40,000 square feet of indoor space along with ample space for outdoor activities.
"With Spring Shwing, we're aiming to do much of what we normally do at the Exotic Erotic Ball, but in a smaller, more intimate setting, with a more localized crowd," said Howard Mauskopf, producer of both shows.
General admission to the event is $49, with VIP tickets available for $95. Parking is free for advance ticket holders.
For more information call: 1-415-567-BALL (2255) or visit www.exoticeroticball.com or www.springshwing.com.

Beginning next year, Virginia students in grades 3-5 will take fewer SOL tests. Legislators passed HB930 in March of this year eliminating the third grade science test. But this does not take effect until next year so many teachers and parents are gearing up for the test which will be administered between May 19 - June 12.
A number of online resources are available to prepare students to meet the rigorous demands of the new technology enhanced online test that found many Virginia Beach elementary schools' pass rates dropping in the double digit percentage range. Many of these are available as free or low cost downloads.
- The VDOE Testing Blueprint for science 3
- Weather & water cycle card game (see slide show for a preview of the cards)
- Food chains and adaptations card game (see slide show for a preview of the cards)
- Plant card games. Players learn how plants grow, develop and how parts function in the Plant Part game. The Photosynthesis game lets students collect water, carbon dioxide and sunlight cards to be synthesized into glucose. The Pollination game teaches how the parts of a flower function and how pollinators assist in the process. All three games also incorporate weather and other events as well as plant adaptations making these games valuable resources for teaching the big picture.
- Pollination package - Power Point, reader's theater script, card and board game
- Free online photosynthesis game
Games are motivating and engage students in higher level strategy thinking and promote interaction with others while remaining focused on topic. Students generally will spend more time reviewing when using games than more traditional study methods.

Saying things like this keeps money in his pockets.Quote:
Citizens do have the right to say no. "They could say no and not have to worry about getting arrested," defense attorney Jackson Main said. "On the other hand, I'm like everybody else. When a police officer tells me to do something, I'm going to do it whether I have the right to say no or not."

Yes, to quote the main character of Disney's animated series "Gravity Falls", top 40 songs are in the top 40 for a reason. But sometimes, listening to the same list of forty songs over and over again gets tiresome on the ears. It also does not help that 'Top 40' lists lack variety in genre and are overly populated by safe, danceable songs better suited for the inside of a club or your car during a long commute.
Local Saint Louis music station 88.1 KDHX has the antidote to the 'Top 40' blues and the best thing is, it's free. Their regular feature, called simply the "Song of the Day", introduces the station's listeners to music from all across a widely diverse universe of styles and genres. A good number of them are Saint Louis based artists.
Every weekday, a new song is posted to the KDHX website and is available to listen to via online streaming. Songs can also be downloaded from the website, either via Dropbox or Soundcloud. Visitors can go through the "Song of the Day" archive for songs from the past and discover artists and tracks they might have previously missed.
The great thing about KDHX is that they're pretty much everywhere online. If you're not listening to 88.1 on your radio or through a radio streaming app, you can be watching videos from KDHX on their YouTube page or listening to them on their SoundCloud account. Or perhaps you could be looking at their photography, either on Flickr or Instagram.
And, of course, like everyone else in the universe, KDHX is on Facebook and Twitter, a great way to keep in touch with the station's daily activities. Let's be real: if you still don't know what KDHX is up to, it's probably from lack of trying.
The "Song of the Day" feature has become my daily way to find new music. The music folder on my computer is now filled with audio gems, ranging from jazz and rock to electronica and hip-hop, plus plenty of remixes and covers. So if your iPod has been lacking in great, unheard beats, you will definitely be giving the KDHX website a visit!
In the attached slide show, you can see some of the artists that have been highlighted through the KDHX "Song of the Day" posts.

Local and statewide environmental groups plan to demonstrate against fracking at Gov. John Kasich's State of the State address Monday.
Members of Concerned Citizens of Medina County and Frack Free Ohio will gather at the main entrance of Medina High School about 5 p.m. Kasich is scheduled to give his speech at 7 p.m. in the adjacent Medina Performing Arts Center.
The group plans to state its opposition to Kasich's policies on hydraulic fracturing, regulation of injection wells and proposed plans to put a gas pipeline through Medina County.
Environmental groups also are upset over reports made public Friday that top advisers to Kasich knew the Ohio Department of Natural Resources planned to discredit environmental groups and two lawmakers while promoting drilling in state parks and forests in 2012.
The Associated press reported a memo from ODNR from 2012 labeled groups like the Sierra Club and Ohio Environmental Council as adversaries and named Halliburton and other energy companies the department regulates as allies. The memo also labeled national, local and state chambers of commerce as allies.
The memo, written by a senior official at ODNR, called for the department to enlist the help of allied groups to counteract "zealous resistance by environmental activist opponents, who are skilled propagandists."
The department said the plan only was discussed and never implemented. In 2011, a new state law opened state parks and other public lands to drilling.
But there are no wells yet. Kasich spokesman Rob Nichols said the law called for a state oil and gas commission to be created before any drilling takes place.
Nichols said Kasich has opted not to appoint the panel yet because the governor doesn't believe the regulatory structure around the practice is mature enough.

- We present DefScriber, a fully implemented system that combines knowledge-based and statistical methods in forming multi-sentence answers to open-ended definitional questions of the form, "What is X?" We show how a set of definitional predicates proposed as the knowledge-based side of our approach can be used to guide the selection of definitional sentences. Finally, we present results of an evaluation of definitions generated by DefScriber from Internet documents.

There are not many people who believe in clairvoyantsâ predictions. However, such beliefs stay strong until those predictions begin to come true. Vanga presumably became known for her predictions of global disasters.
Vangelia Pandeva Dimitrova was a blind Bulgarian mystic, clairvoyant and herbalist who spent most of her life in the Rupite area in the Kozhuh mountains, Bulgaria. Her followers were convinced that she possessed paranormal abilities. her predictions are well known and we can say really disturbing if you believe in anything paranormal.
A turning point in "Baba Vanga" (grandma Vanga's) life was a storm which lifted her up and threw her in the field (this claim has not been verified with meteorological records or other accounts from that time). She was found after a long searchâvery frightened, and her eyes were covered with sand and dust, so she couldn't open them because of the pain. No healing gave results. There was money only for a partial operation, so her eyesight was failing.
In 1939 Vanga caught pleurisy, although she had been quite healthy in the previous years. The doctor's opinion was that she would soon die but she recovered quickly.
Vangaâs most shocking prediction include:
âAt the turn of the century, in August of 1999 or 2000, Kursk will be covered with water, and the whole world will be weeping over it.â (1980)
The prediction did not make any sense back then. Sadly, twenty years on, it did make a lot of sense, when a Russian nuclear submarine sunk in an accident in August of 2000. The submarine was named Kursk. Kursk – the city (after which the submarine was named), could by no means have been covered with water (probably thatâs why her prediction seemed so unrealistic at first).
âHorror, horror! The American brethren will fall after being attacked by the steel birds. The wolves will be howling in a bush, and innocent blood will be gushing.â (1989)
Happened as predicted. The World Trade Center Towers in New York collapsed following terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The WTC Towers were dubbed âTwinsâ or âBrothers.â The terrorists drove passenger planes ââthe steel birdsâ- into the towers. âThe bushâ obviously relates to the surname of the current U.S. president.
Specialists also say that the renowned fortune-teller also predicted the events connected with the armed conflict in South Ossetia. Vanga supposedly said that the Third World War would break out as a result of attempts on the lives of four government heads and after a conflict in Hindustan.
The presidents of four countries â Ukraine, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland departed to Georgia in the middle of the conflict to see the situation with their own eyes.
Vanga predicted that the Third World War would break out in 2010.The war will begin in November of 2010 and will end in October of 2014. Will start as a normal war, then will include usage of nuclear and chemical weapons.
Vanga was illiterate or semi-literate and she did not write any books herself. Her speech was difficult to distinguish and she spoke a heavy dialect (recent TV recordings used subtitles for the Bulgarian audience). What she said or allegedly said has been captured by staff members. Later numerous esoteric books on Vanga's life and predictions were written.
Vanga claimed that her alleged extraordinary abilities had something to do with the presence of invisible creatures, but she couldn't clearly explain their origin. She was saying, that those creatures were giving her information about people, which she could not transmit to them, because, distance and time didn't matter. According to Vanga, the life of everyone standing in front of her, was like a film to her, from birth till death. But changing "what was written on the generation" was beyond her power.
More predictions about the future:
2010 â The start of WWIII. The war will begin in November of 2010 and will end in October of 2014. Will start as a normal war, then will include usage of nuclear and chemical weapons.
2011 â Due to the radioactive showers in Northern Hemisphere â no animals or plants will be left. Muslims will begin chemical war against Europeans who are still alive.

2033 â The worldâs oceans rise as the polar ice caps melt.
2043 â World economy is prosperous. Muslims are running Europe.
2046 â Any organs can be mass produced. Exchange of body organs becomes the common method of treatment.
2066 â During itâs attack on Rome (which is under control of the Muslims) U.S.A. uses a new method of weapons â has to do with climate change. Instant freezing.
2076 â No class society (communism)
2084 â Nature restores herself.

I'm sure this is elementary, but:
If a 1-D function is bounded everywhere except at a point P (measure zero), then the integral exists. So why should it matter if P is at the end of the integration interval?
Presumably the same is true of a line integral in, say, R3 --- which would seem to imply that the path for a closed line integral can include a countable number of discontinuities. But what happens if the closed integral is calculated in such a way that the endpoints a=b are where the function is unbounded?
Taking this one more step, the closed line integral, by Stokes' theorem, can be written as a surface integral of the curl. As long as the regions is simply connected. But if, say, simply connectedness fails at the origin, why should it matter -- isn't that just a set of measure zero for the surface integral?
Clearly, I'm confused and/or missing something basic.
