Secrets of Success
Negative Energy/Positive Energy
Thursday, January 31, 2013
When we spend all of our time complaining, we are in essence in constant destroy mode rather than building mode.
We all know someone who has elevated the process of complaining to a high art. Sometimes funny, sometimes exhausting, these people have the ability to find a problem just about anywhere. In its more evolved form, complaining is simply the ability to see what�s not working, in one�s own life or in the external world, and it can be quite useful if followed to its natural conclusion�finding a solution and applying it. However, many of us don�t get that far, and we find that complaining has become an end in itself. In small doses, this is not a big problem, but if complaining has become a huge part of our identities, it may be time to take a good look at how we are spending our energy.
Complaining is a person�s way of acknowledging that they are not happy with the way things are. In a metaphorical way, when we complain or criticize, we are tearing down an undesirable structure in order to make room for something new. But if all we do is tear down, never bothering to summon the creative energy required to create something new, we are not fulfilling the process. In fact, we are at risk for becoming a stagnant and destructive force in our own lives and in the lives of the people we love. Another issue with complaining is that we sometimes tend to focus on other people, whom we can�t change, as a way of deflecting attention from the one person we can change�ourselves. So transforming complaining into something useful is a twofold process that begins with turning our critical eye to look at things we can actually do something about, and then taking positive action.
When we find ourselves complaining, the last thing we need to do is get down on ourselves. Instead, we can begin by noticing that we are in the mode of wanting to make some changes. But rather than lashing out at somebody or an organization, we can look for an appropriate place to channel this energy�not our neighbor�s house, but possibly parts of our own. Finally, we can ask ourselves the positive question of what we would like to create in the place of whatever it is we want to tear down. When we do this, we channel a negative habit into a creative process, thus using our energy to change the world around us in a positive way.

Thank you so much for posting this. We've been friends on Spark for sometime now but I haven't been on Spark or even active for a long time. I've fallen into just what you have posted. Ugh the sad part about it is I'm not totally sure how to dig myself out of the hole I've put myself in?
My 2 year marriage will be in trouble if I don't fix what I've started. Meaning that I have been negative and critical and it's not only hurting myself but my husband too. I want to be a positive wife, mother and even role model for my family and loved ones. This post was just in time to help me keep the momentum to keep my eye on the bigger picture so to speak. I just refreshed my Spark page and goals at 3am till 5am with a new everything even a new blog. I needed a fresh start and I needed this reminder of why I'm doing it all!
Thank you,

Audiences were mesmerized when the iconic superhero swung to the big screen in "The Amazing Spider-Man," a 2012 film starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone. The reboot of the popular franchise received largely positive reviews and was a massive box office hit. On May 2, 2014, "The Amazing Spider-Man 2" hits theaters, and wary audiences have been pleasantly surprised by the revamped action, story and characters that this sequel brought to life. The following five elements have made this Spider-Man flick a stand-out film that is sure to be treasured by fans for many years to come.
The Chemistry Between Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone
Poor chemistry between the lead protagonists can make a film fall flat on its face. In "The Amazing Spider-Man 2," viewers can expect just the opposite as the palpable chemistry between Peter Parker and Gwen make for some incredible scenes. Garfield and Stone, who were dating at the time of shooting, brought their passion and emotional intimacy into their characters, making their on-screen chemistry light up. In the film, the two characters have an on-and-off relationship, adding a layer of complexity to their romance.
A Boost of Comic Book Action
Due to complaints that "The Amazing Spider-Man" was too dark and realistic, director Marc Webb decided to pump up the comic book attributes of the sequel, resulting in a colorful, cartoonish quality that works surprisingly well for the film. From Spider-Man's fights and costume to his movement and overall demeanor, nearly everything in the new Spidey film is closer to the hero's comic book origins. Additionally, the fast-paced, overblown action sequences with Electro and Green Goblin are just what superhero fans are craving.
A Complex, Well-built Web of a Plot
In this film, director Mark Webber takes on the tricky task of weaving a complex plot involving several villains and a few subplots. Many fans were anticipating the kind of overstuffed fiasco that characterized Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man 3," but viewers have been surprised by the interesting and complex nature of the plot. Peter Parker is facing the difficulties of balancing his personal life and his career as a web-slinging superhero, and his relationship with Gwen is consistently complicated. This film does, at times, border on becoming overstuffed, but in the end every character and subplot culminates into a satisfying finale.
The Introduction of Harry Osborn
Audiences may be hesitant about the introduction of this familiar character, particularly because he played such a large role in the earlier "Spider-Man" when he was portrayed by James Franco. However, Dane DeHaan's Harry is easily one of the best aspects of the film, adding an interesting twist to Peter Parker's life as Spider-Man while drawing viewers into his own story as he slowly becomes the iconic Green Goblin. DeHaan's youthful look, great acting and obvious charm make him the perfect actor for this role, and viewers are not disappointed by his performance.
Amazing Visuals
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" dishes out enough CGI wonders to draw any viewer into the universe of this beloved superhero. From the outstanding fight scenes to the more subtle effects, such as the glow of Electro's skin that seems to come from within, this film never misses a beat when it comes to visuals. The scenes of Spider-Man swinging through New York City are satisfying as each shadow and movement creates the perfect sense of realism. This film is also the first Spider-Man adventure to be shot entirely in New York, and the shots of the urban cityscape are breathtaking.
"The Amazing Spider-Man 2" has received mostly mixed to positive reviews from audiences and critics alike, and it promises to be another big box office success. Webb has reported that "The Amazing Spider-Man" films series will continue with two more sequels. Andrew Garfield has already signed on for "The Amazing Spider-Man 3," and Emma Stone has signed on for both sequels.

Robert Parker 89 Points
A blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Grenache, the 2005 Cotes du Rhone is a real head turner. Full-bodied, with a deep ruby/purple color and sweet notes of berry fruit, a hint of road tar, and some pepper, the wine is dense, chewy, ripe, and a surprisingly big mouthful of juicy, velvety-textured wine to drink over the next 3-4 years.
Wine Spectator 87 Points
This has nice weight, with fleshy dark plum, raspberry and licorice notes. Shows some toasty grip on the finish, but stays juicy enough. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now. 250,000 cases made.–JM
International Wine Cellar 89 Points
Deep red. Intensely perfumed bouquet of dark berries, kirsch, smoked meat, violet and graphite; really showing off the syrah today. Round and sweet, with fleshy cherry, black raspberry and candied flower flavors framed by silky tannins. A deeper cocoa quality joins the dark berries on the finish. This superb Cotes du Rhone is a benchmark for the category.

Matteo Guidicelli is still leading the survey for Captain Barbell this evening, Jan, 21, 2014 (Philippine time). Based on the latest tally, he got 17.65% or 829 out of 4,698 votes. He is followed by Coco Martin with 15.92% or 748 votes, JC De Vera with 15.37% or 722 votes, Paulo Avelino with 13.35% or 627 votes and Gerald Anderson with 8.39% or 394 votes.
Can he get the title role after this? No one can answer that question, but based on Anne Curtis's luck, Matteo can also get the project even though he is not auditioning for the role. As you all know, Anne Curtis was chosen by the ABS-CBN management to play the role of Dyesebel, a Mars Ravelo created comics character, even though she did not auditioned for the role.
For some observers, Matteo is a good choice if the management is really looking for a hunky and famous actor to play the role of Captain Barbel, according to them, he has the look and charm that can capture the hearts of the viewing public. Aside from that, he is also one of the hottest actors in the industry today, not just because of his undeniable talent, but also because of his rumored relationship with Sarah Geronimo.
A lot of people are eager to know the status of his relationship with the pop princess, but like what you read in the news, he is still keeping his silence despite the circulation of photos and videos online that almost revealed their relationship publicly.

Anderson County showed why the Lady Bearcats have the potential to emerge as the Eighth Region's best team with a good showing in the Ballard Invitational Tournament, held Friday and Saturday in Louisville.
The Lady Bearcats split four games, defeating Madisonville-North Hopkins 6-5 in extra innings and Beaumont, a team from near Cleveland, Ohio, 9-2. Ballard defeated the Lady Bearcats 9-1 and perennial state power Owensboro Catholic, ranked third in the state, slipped past Anderson 3-2 in extra innings.
FRANKFORT – With temperatures so cold that spectators looked like they were headed to a late-season football game instead of a track meet, there was only one thing Anderson County could do Friday.
Run faster to stay warm.
The Bearcats had a good showing at the ultra-competitive Wolverine Open Friday, probably a bit better than the placings would indicate. The Anderson boys finished ninth out 15 teams that scored, while the Lady Bearcats were 12th of 15.
Bearcat baseball struggles in early season
Anderson County baseball saw its season-opening losing streak run to five games with losses to three Louisville schools in the latest diamond action.
DeSales whipped the Bearcats 9-2 in the first game of the Charger Classic, held at Bullitt East High School Friday night.
"DeSales threw their number one (pitcher), and we hit him hard, but often right at their defense," said Anderson coach L.W. Barnes.
When Kentucky's spring wild turkey season opens April 16, hunters should get plenty of opportunities to match wits with the older, experienced gobblers that make the sport so challenging and exciting.
Kentucky anglers who like sauger, white bass or muskellunge need to plan a trip to the Kentucky River in the next couple of weeks. Population sampling on the Kentucky River conducted by fishery biologists with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources over the past several weeks show healthy populations of white bass, sauger and muskellunge.
The Anderson County Sportsman's Club held a 3-D archery shoot over the weekend, and 20 shooters participated despite the windy, cold weather.
The results are as follows:
Men's Open
Lee Marshal, 286
Mark Embs, 264
Lee Puckett, 257
Ethan Steele, 230 (youth)
Mike Riddle, DNF
Mike Tracy, DNF
Tim Fitzpatrick, DNF
Eddie Baker, DNF
Men's Hunter
Darryl Gibbs, 307
Noel Hudson, 301
Brent Hudson, 293
Mike Holder, 280
My column last month stirred up a little conversation that leads me to address it a bit further this month. Some outdoorsmen, including me, had a beef over the deal with Missouri to swap 150 of our eastern Kentucky elk for crappie.
Yes, elk for fish.
The City of Frankfort has been selected as the site of the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Division I Women's Basketball National Championships for the next three years, the NAIA announced on Monday.
The 32-team national tournament -- which will be co-hosted by the City of Frankfort and the Mid-South Conference -- will be held March 14-20, 2012, at the Frankfort Convention Center. The tournament will return to downtown Frankfort from March 13-19, 2013, and from March 19-25, 2014.

In a county dominated by Democrats, he became what is believed to be the only Republican to serve as its judge-executive.
As chairman of the school board, he was involved in perhaps the most controversial education decision ever made: closing Western High School in 1989.
Yet through it all, Tommy Cotton remained a person beloved by nearly everyone who knew him, both in politics and in life.

About RIU
The international RIU chain was founded in Mallorca by the Riu family in 1953 as a small holiday firm and is still owned by the family's third generation. The company specialises in holiday resorts and 70% of its establishments offer its acclaimed All Inclusive by RIU service. With the inauguration of its first city hotel in 2010, RIU is expanding its range of products with its own line of city hotels called Riu Plaza. RIU Hotels & Resorts now has more than 100 hotels in 19 countries which welcome over 4 million guests a year and provide jobs for a total of 28,000 employees. RIU is currently the world's 30th ranked chain, one of the Caribbean's most popular and the third largest in Spain.
1953 – opening of the first hotel
In November 1953, Juan Riu Masmitja and his wife Maria Bertran Espigule acquired, with their son Luis Riu Bertran, the San Francisco hotel, a small 80-bed establishment located in Playa de Palma (Mallorca, Spain). This was to be the first hotel of many in the future of the international hotel chain.
The 60s saw a real tourist boom in the Balearic Islands, which Luis Riu Bertran actively contributed to through his partnership with the German tour operator, Dr. Tigges (known as TUI since 1968). Following the consolidation of charter operations between Germany and Mallorca in the summer months, Luis Riu went one step further in strengthening the development of tourism in the Balearic Islands, by also promoting Mallorca as a winter destination.
During the 60s and 70s, the company underwent significant expansion in the Balearic Islands, consolidating its business partnerships all the while. In 1976, Riu Hotels S.A. was established along with TUI (Touristik Union International) in order to build new hotels.
1985 - first hotel outside the balearic Islands
In the 80s, RIU began to expand into other destinations. Its first hotel outside the Balearic Islands opened in 1985, on the island of Gran Canaria. The Riu Palmeras at that time gave a hint of the successful initiative it was to become, as today the Canary Islands are one of RIU's main destinations, with over 20 hotels located there.
1991 – first international hotel
With the 1990s came the opening of RIU's first international hotel. The Riu Taino began to welcome its first guests in November 1991 in Punta Cana, in the Dominican Republic. This was the first step in RIU Hotels' impressive growth in America, where it currently has over 30 hotels. The partnership with TUI was strengthened even further in 1993, with the creation of the company RIUSA II SA, with TUI and RIU each owning 50%, which operates the RIU line of hotels.
1998 – Generational change-over
Following the death of Luis Riu Bertran, his children Carmen and Luis Riu, the third generation of the family, took on the post of managing directors of the chain, a position they continue to hold today.
2010 – first city hotel
During the 90s and early 2000s, RIU underwent major expansion in several countries, including Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Aruba, the Bahamas, Cape Verde, Costa Rica, Morocco, and Tunisia.
After 56 years of specialising in holiday resorts, in 2010 RIU Hotels & Resorts embarked upon one of his biggest challenges yet as a company: the launch of its urban hotel brand Riu Plaza. In September 2010, the Riu Plaza Panama opened its doors in Panama City; it was the first RIU hotel in the country and the first of RIU's city hotels. The company's commitment for this new line of business was consolidated in 2011 with the opening of the Riu Plaza Guadalajara in Mexico, and the Riu Plaza New York Times Square, which will open at the end of 2015.

Dad KIRILL BARTASHEVITCH sounds like one very dangerous gun nut in a giant fruitcake.
Minnesota father 'threatened his daughter with an AK-47 because she got a B
Kirill Bartashevitch, 52, was charged with two terror offenses after pointing a Kalashnikov at his daughter and wife
The row allegedly started after the 15-year-old returned home with two Bs when her father expected As
He faces a sentence of five years for each charge
By Daily Mail Reporter
PUBLISHED: 17:26 EST, 25 January 2013 | UPDATED: 17:40 EST, 25 January 2013
A father has been charged with pointing an AK-47 at his 15-year-old daughter because she only got a B on her schoolwork, it was revealed today.
Kirill Bartashevitch, 52, allegedly pointed the deadly weapon at the girl, who is unidentified, in anger that she wasn't getting straight As in high school, according to MyFox9.
The teenager texted a friend from Central High School, St Paul, Minnesota to tell her about the confrontation on January 17 and the friend's mother called social services, the report said.
Bartashevitch had just recently bought two of the assault rifles from Bill's Gunshop in the town, in fear they would be outlawed under government gun control legislation.
He then allegedly used one of the weapons in the row with his child.
His daughter told him she 'hated' him when he confronted her about her grades and then swore at him.
He allegedly pointed the gun at her in anger, according to the report, and when his wife stepped in between them he pushed her to the ground and allegedly pointed the gun at them both.
He then sent his daughter to her bedroom.
The girl then texted a male friend whose mother went to the school's social worker who then contacted the police.
When arrested by police, Bartashevitch admitted to the confrontation but said the gun wasn't loaded.
His daughter also told her friend she wasn't scared because she knew he hadn't loaded the gun.
Bartashevitch was charged today at Ramsey County District Court with two counts of terroristic threats for pointing the gun.
His bail conditions stipulate he is to have no contact with his daughter or wife.
He could face a maximum for five years for each count he faces.

College Hockey:UMass Shocks Maine in Opener
ORONO, Maine — History was not on the side of Massachusetts when traveling to Alfond Arena for its quarterfinal series with No. 4 Maine. The Black Bears had won all 21 of its previous Hockey East postseason contests at their home rink, and the Minutemen had fallen in each of their 18 games all-time in Orono.
Then again, UMass coach Don Cahoon was never one for history.
When informed that UMass' 5-3 victory over the Black Bears was Maine's first conference postseason loss ever at home, Cahoon responded with surprise, "Oh, really?"
Freshman Stephen Jacobs chose an opportune time to score his first collegiate goal for the Minutemen, beating Maine's Frank Doyle with a low shot from the right circle for the game-winner 1:54 into the third period. Jacobs' goal came just 18 seconds after the Black Bears' Gray Shaneberger had knotted the teams at three apiece.
"Tim Vitek made an unbelievable play along the boards," Jacobs said. "I was just trying to get the puck on net, looking for a rebound."
"That goal was critical because it gave us a life," Cahoon said.
The two teams battled in an extremely physical third period, with plenty of hard hitting, and referee John Gravallese allowed them to play, calling only one penalty, a minor infraction on UMass in the final seconds of play.
Greg Mauldin added an empty netter for the Minutement. It was Maine's first loss of any kind in the Hockey East quarterfinals since 1994.
Maine jumped out to the early 1-0 lead eight minutes into the game, as Martin Kariya parked himself right in front of the net on a five-on-three power play and blasted linemate Lucas Lawson's feed past UMass goaltender Gabe Winer.
But the Minutemen responded with two goals less than two minutes apart to take the lead at the first intermission. Sophomore blueliner Dusty Demianiuk's shot from the point deflected off a Maine defenseman and past starter Jimmy Howard to get UMass on the scoreboard. Matt Anderson followed up the goal with one of his own, as his backhander was stopped initially by Howard, but the puck found its way over his shoulder and into the back of the Maine net for the 2-1 UMass lead.
Howard was chased shortly after the second period began, as Peter Trovato lifted a shot over the freshman in front of the goal to put the Minutemen in control. But the Black Bears picked up their play at that point with Doyle in net. John Ronan scored his second goal of the season midway through the period, and Shaneberger lit the lamp in the early stages of the third period to even the score and set up Jacobs' heroics.
Winer made 24 saves in his first collegiate playoff game.
"He demonstrated to me that he was pretty confident, that he looked like he was under control," Cahoon said.
Howard and Doyle combined to make 22 saves in the losing effort.
The two teams will meet again Friday night at Alfond Arena for the second game of the series. Despite its 1-0 series lead, UMass isn't getting ahead of itself, as it knows the Black Bears will be more than ready for tomorrow's game.
"We've just got to put our best foot forward tomorrow, and we'll see what happens afterwards," Minutemen defenseman Thomas Pock said.

MALAYSIAN AIRLINES FLIGHT MH 17: AIDS researchers killed in crash, patients worry about future cure
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- - Local residents battling HIV and AIDS are glued to the coverage of the crash involving Malaysian Airlines Flight MH 17.
At least 100 of those killed when Flight 17 went down were top AIDS research scientists heading to an international conference on HIV and AIDS.
"We probably took a step back in time," said Doris Caroll, an AIDS prevention advocate in West Palm Beach.
A state licensed HIV and AIDS tester, Caroll said the ripples of losing all of those researchers will be felt around the world, including in her office.
"They mean the future of prevention, the future of treatment and maybe even eradicating HIV," said Caroll.
Those infected with HIV are now worried if the death of the researchers will impact their future.
"It hurts my heart because they were going to do more work. And just the fact that they were doing something for me," said Stephanie June, a West Palm Beach woman who's HIV positive.
June has lived with HIV for more than six years. She has a husband, a little daughter and is living her life the way she wants to thanks to the researched done by scientists like the ones who were killed. June said she is indebted to the all the researchers and scientists who died.
"If I didn't have the medication right away when I was diagnosed, who knows where I would be?" said June. "I probably wouldn't be standing here. But the fact is, they changed my life."

The Rwandan First Lady Mrs. Jeannette Kagame joined orphans studying in Noel Nyundo Orphanage in a function preparing the end of the year 2013 on Friday 13th, 12, 2013.
The First Lady gave 22 orphans houses to live in while 50 other orphans were helped getting families to adopt them. Madame Kagame also shared with them a feast to end the year.
The First Lady officially opened 20 houses in Kanembwe village in Rubavu sector in Rubavu district for the 22 orphans above 18 years of age in Noel Nyundo Orphanage center.
The houses were built by Unity Club as their inheritance for them to start working for their personal development as adults. The village for the youth was called 'Imparanira-kwigira'.
After giving out 50 orphans that have been living in Nyundo orphanage to their foster families, the First Lady reminded people that parenting is a responsibility of parents given by God and expected by the country.
"This is the reason children should be raised in families instead of orphanages" she said.
The First Lady emphasized that the government of Rwanda will keep on finding good families to all orphans living in orphanages so as to attain Rwandan values, to get love and social living as expected of all Rwandan families.
"Though we receive a lot more than we ever had in this orphanage, we also desire and miss the warmth of living in families" said Jeannette Mukandayisenga one of the orphans in Nyundo Orphanage.
Nyundo Orphanage accommodates children who have no idea about their families and others who were picked off the streets and would like to have families.
Mrs. Jeannette Kagame joined more than 500 children in the Western Province of Rwanda in celebrations to end the year 2013.
Unity Club has been supporting the Nyundo orphanage since 2011. Ever since the First lady started the initiative to find homes for the orphans, four orphanages have closed their operations after successfully settling children in willing families. The initiative intends to see every child growing up in a family instead of an orphanage.

NSJC celebrates second annual Diversity Sports Media Institute, expansion to Chicago's Loyola University
Caitie Parten | June 22, 2011 10:26 a.m.
|Indiana Pacers Vice President of Communications Quinn Buckner will mentor students in the DSMI program.
Then imagine that you would be meeting and interviewing some of the biggest names in sports media, as well as professional athletes.
That's exactly what a dozen Indianapolis high school students will be doing next week during the Indiana University National Sports Journalism Center's second annual Diversity Sports Media Institute. The institute, sponsored by the Chicago-based McCormick Foundation, will run from Monday through Friday (June 27 – July 1) on the IUPUI campus in Indianapolis.
This is the first of two Diversity Sports Media Institutes this summer. The sports journalism center is partnering with the Loyola University School of Communication for a second week-long institute in Chicago from Aug. 1 – 5 for high schools students in the Windy City. That workshop also is being funded by the McCormick Foundation.
"The Diversity Sports Media Institute is an incredible opportunity for a select group of high school students to learn and practice the craft of sports journalism," said Tim Franklin, director of the IU National Sports Journalism Center.
|CBS college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg will share his expertise with high school students at the DSMI.
"They will receive instruction on the fundamentals of sports journalism. And, they will have the opportunity to meet and interview prominent national sports journalists and pro athletes," Franklin said. "From those interviews, they will create a 30-minute TV show that will actually be aired on WFYI-TV, and their own live website. So, this workshop is more than a theoretical exercise. It's a real world experience."
During the institute, the students will be meeting and interviewing several big names in sports media, as well as professional athletes. The speakers include:
- Clark Kellogg, the lead college basketball analyst for CBS Sports and vice president for player relations for the Indiana Pacers.
- Quinn Buckner, basketball analyst for Fox Sports Midwest and the Big Ten Network, and the vice president of communications for the Pacers.
- Stephen Bardo, college basketball commentator for ESPN and the Big Ten Network.
- Calbert Cheaney, the new director of basketball operations at IU, and the all-time leading scorer in Big Ten history.
- Pippa Mann, who last month became the first woman from Britain to race in the Indianapolis 500.
Kellogg, Buckner, Bardo and Cheaney all played professional basketball in the NBA. Buckner is one of only three players in history to win championships at every level – high school, college, pro and the Olympics.
The students also will be interviewing a member of the Indiana Fever, and covering one of its games.
Excerpts from those interviews will be packaged in a 30-minute TV show and website produced by the students. The TV show is expected to air across Indiana on WFYI-TV. The students will work at WFYI-TV's studios in Indianapolis, as well as in computer labs at IUPUI. They also will tour the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
"The goal is to show these students a career path in sports media. I'm thrilled that a couple of our older students in last year's workshop are now pursuing degrees in journalism, with the intent of working in sports media. I'm hopeful that we'll have a positive impact on more young lives this summer," Franklin said.
DSMI is funded by a $50,000 grant from the McCormick Foundation in Chicago.
"IU is grateful to the McCormick Foundation in Chicago for making this experience possible for the second straight year in Indianapolis. And, this summer we're expanding the Diversity Sports Media Institute to a second workshop in Chicago with our partners at Loyola University. This will allow us to reach even more youth across the Midwest."
Clark Bell, journalism director of the McCormick Foundation, believes the Institute supports McCormick's mission to provide educational opportunities to students from diverse backgrounds.
"This program furthers the McCormick Foundation's commitment to youth by
providing underserved students a training ground to develop professional
news media skills," said Bell. "The program exposes students to an exciting career path and can stimulate their efforts in school."
He also credits the DSMI for its efforts to diversify sports media.
"Let's face it, most of the nation's sports reporters and editors are white males," Bell said. "DSMI promotes greater diversity in the coverage of sports."
Indeed, a report issued in April found that 97 percent of print and online sports editors are white, and 94 percent are men. The report, issued by the University of Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, said that 5.5 percent of print and online sports staffs are black men, and three percent are Latino men. Only 11.4 percent are women.
The success of the inaugural DSMI has Bell and his McCormick colleagues anticipating further success for the program and continued benefit for students.
"Indiana University should be proud of Tim Franklin and NSJC," says Bell. "Tim
delivers. He is a valued and trusted partner of the McCormick Foundation. NSJC did an excellent job executing last year's inaugural institute. We look forward to expanding this year into Chicago."

In preparation for its split into two separate companies, Palm has come up with a name for its new, hardware-only self: PalmOne.
The company, which makes handheld devices and the operating system they run on, intends to call itself "Palm" until it finishes buying rival Handspring and spinning off its software unit this fall. At that point, the new hardware-only company will adopt the PalmOne moniker, while the OS provider will keep its current PalmSource name.

Maria Latore (also referred to as Maria La Torra in the credits of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas) is a character in Grand Theft Auto III, GTA San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. She was voiced by Debi Mazar in GTA III and GTA San Andreas, and by Fiona Gallagher in GTA Liberty City Stories. She is, from some point between 1992 and 1998, the wife of Salvatore Leone and step mother of his son Joey. She also owns an apartment in Saint Mark's, Portland Island, Liberty City.
Maria appears briefly in GTA San Andreas, working as a waitress at the Mafia run Caligula's Palace casino in Las Venturas. She begins a relationship with Leone Family Don Salvatore Leone and at sometime before 1998 marries him.
By 1998 (the setting of GTA Liberty City Stories), Maria's remains married to Salvatore, although the two no longer get along, with the two living separately. Maria has also become a methamphetamine addict and frequently cheats on Salvatore, including Cedric Fotheringay, better known as Wayne. Toni Cipriani is occasionally assigned to chaperone her and often gets her out of trouble. This includes driving her to safety after she robs some stores, winning a race after Maria had put herself as the first prize, killing Cedric Fotheringay after he had hit her and driving her to some zap to stop her overdosing. She does show feelings toward Toni, but after realising he has no money, states that "I'm Salvatore's girl! He's loaded!"
She continues her relationship with Salvatore Leone to continue using his money. In 2001 (the setting of GTA III) she is introduced to Claude, when Salvatore asks him to "look after her for the evening". She remains addicted to drugs, having Claude drive her to Chico. She later informs Salvatore that she and Claude are an item, resulting in Salvatore attempting to kill Claude and Maria paging him to meet her at a small dock in Callahan Point. This interest in Claude can also be heard on the Chatterbox FM radio station, where she says that Claude "don't talk too much". Maria explains the situation to Claude and introduces him to Yakuza co-leader and long time friend Asuka Kasen, who later employs Claude.
Maria continues to appear alongside Asuka, with some hints that the two are lovers. This includes the period when Miguel was tortured and interrogated, as Asuka seemed to gain a sexual thrill out of it. Maria and Asuka extract information from Miguel about the Colombian Cartel operations, allowing Claude to target the Cartel more effectively. The Cartel and its leader, Catalina, then kill Asuka and kidnap Maria, leaving a ransom note. Claude rescues her and kills Catalina, although Maria's fate is unknown. At the end of GTA III as the screen fades to black with Maria talking continuously, a gunshot is heard followed by silence. It remains unknown whether the gunshot was to kill or silence Maria, as Claude is unable to talk. Rockstar themselves are not even sure what happened to her[1]. Though Maria continues to appear on chatterbox after this it is a moot point since the stations loop continuously.
Maria is secure about her looks, although she has no control over herself, using drugs (and at one point almost overdosing) and spending a lot of Salvatore's money. Despite her ability to get money, she also shoplifts, leaving the trouble to either Salvatore or Toni Cipriani. She is very dominating, and a nymphomaniac. Maria also holds an interest in leopard skin furniture, which she references on Chatterbox FM in GTA III and is evident in her clothing in GTA Liberty City Stories.

Since Sunday's goal-line stand was the biggest moment to date for the embattled New Orleans Saints defense, we figured it was worthy of a snap-by-snap breakdown to kick off this week's film study. Spoiler alert: Safety Malcolm Jenkins, cornerback Jabari Greer and defensive ends Will Smith and Cameron Jordan all deserve game balls for their clutch performances.
Here's how the Saints preserved their 31-27 victory over the Atlanta Falcons - and kept their entire season alive in the process:
- 1st-and-goal, 10-yard line: Don't forget about the first game-saving tackle that kicked off the Saints' remarkable stand with 2:26 remaining in the fourth quarter. Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan had plenty of time to throw against the Saints' four-man rush, but he settled for a check-down throw to receiver Harry Douglas at the 6-yard line. Douglas had a big cushion and a great chance to score on the play, but Jenkins and Saints cornerbacks Johnny Patrick and Patrick Robinson all swarmed to him.
Patrick made the first hit at the 2-yard line - a low swipe at Douglas' legs that was just enough to slow him down and spin him around. Robinson then lowered a shoulder into Douglas' back. Douglas still would have been able to fall into the end zone, but Jenkins flew in to deliver the big hit that stopped Douglas cold at the 1-yard line.
Douglas lost control of the ball at the end of the play while trying to reach it into the end zone. But as the replay review clearly showed, he was down before he fumbled.
- 2nd-and-goal, 1-yard line: Jenkins made another great effort to break up a pass to tight end Tony Gonzalez on this play. The Falcons lined up in a tight formation, with two tight ends at the line and three men in the backfield. Ryan faked a handoff then rolled to his right.
At first, it looked like the Falcons were considering another pass to backup offensive tackle Mike Johnson, who was lined up as an extra tight end on the right side. That same play worked for Atlanta's first touchdown of the game in the first quarter, from the opposite side of the line. Only this time, Saints safety Roman Harper had Johnson covered.
Instead, Ryan fired to the back of the end zone for Gonzalez, who started the play on the left end of the line then ran a drag route across the back of the end zone. Gonzalez had a full step on Jenkins as he came across the field. But Jenkins caught up to him and made an outstanding diving swipe at the ball to knock it away.
- 3rd-and-goal, 1-yard line: Smith made a sensational effort here to stop tailback Michael Turner for a 1-yard loss. The Falcons lined up in that same power formation as the previous play, and this time they handed the ball off to Turner, who ran to his left and got swallowed by the Saints defense.
Smith made the first penetration on the outside of left guard Justin Blalock, who had pulled out wide of the left tackle. Smith's penetration forced Turner to stay inside. Then Smith himself actually swung around Blalock to make the tackle as well. Defensive tackle Tom Johnson and linebacker Curtis Lofton were among the next players to follow behind Smith in a pack up the middle. And Jenkins and linebacker Jonathan Vilma were swarming on the outside. Turner wasn't going anywhere.
- 4th-and-goal, 2-yard line: Greer was the final hero of this series, with a big-time pass break-up - though Jordan deserves a huge assist for pressuring Ryan into an off-target throw. And defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo deserves credit for dialing up a heavy blitz, sending six rushers at Ryan.
This time, the Falcons lined up in the shotgun with one receiver out wide, two tight ends in tight and two backs in the backfield. The Saints sent two extra rushers, but Jordan got to Ryan the old-fashioned way - beating right tackle Tyson Clabo with a speed rush around the edge. Jordan's rush forced Ryan to throw the ball earlier than he wanted, off his back foot. Ryan floated up the ball toward receiver Roddy White instead of leading him. And Greer was in front of White to bat the ball away.
Ryan didn't really have time to look at any other options on the play. But it's worth noting that they were all well-covered in single coverage while the Saints blitzed. Patrick jammed Gonzalez off the line of scrimmage, so he didn't emerge immediately as an option - though cameras showed that he got some separation after Ryan threw the ball. Jenkins did a nice job of picking up receiver Julio Jones and chasing him out to the right. And Robinson covered tight end Michael Palmer to the left.
Not to be ignored was the Saints' other goal-line stand earlier in the fourth quarter, when they held Atlanta to a field goal after the Falcons had first-and-goal from the 5-yard line. Johnson stopped Turner for no gain on first down, fighting off a block from center Todd McClure. Then linebacker Jonathan Casillas made a tremendous solo tackle to bring down tailback Jacquizz Rodgers at the 2-yard line after a check-down pass. Finally, Jenkins got in the way of a quick fade attempt to Jones on third down.
The fade seemed like a low percentage play call, though Jones is obviously a dangerous receiver. Jenkins jammed him off the line of scrimmage to disrupt his route. So even though Jenkins lost his balance and fell as they both turned toward the ball in the air, Jones wasn't able to dive over Jenkins to reach it.
None of those plays individually compared to the 56-yard touchdown run by Saints tailback Chris Ivory in the first quarter. Ivory's incredible effort electrified the Mercedes-Benz Superdome crowd - not to mention his own teammates - as he sparked a comeback from an early 10-0 deficit. We probably don't even need to break this one down since Saints fans have already played it back so many times. But here goes:
Ivory took the handoff at the Saints' 39-yard line and got an excellent block right away from tight end David Thomas against defensive end John Abraham. Ivory used a burst of speed to get out wide to his right past Abraham. Then he bounced the run out even further to his right and shot past cornerback Asante Samuel, who got burned by taking a shallow angle at Ivory and couldn't catch him. That got Ivory free into open space.
It should have just been a 16-yard gain, with safety Thomas DeCoud and Samuel looking like they would force Ivory out of bounds at the Falcons' 40-yard line. But that's where Ivory made a sharp, nasty cut back to the middle of the field that made DeCoud miss him - getting only an arm on Ivory's leg that briefly made him stumble.
Ivory quickly got another full head of steam - and a helpful block from receiver Joe Morgan at the 20-yard line that knocked cornerback Dunta Robinson a little off-balance. So when Robinson took his swipe at Ivory at the 15-yard line, Ivory rejected him with a stiff-arm that put an exclamation point on the run before he cruised into the end zone.
Ivory earned this honor with that run alone. That's how much it meant from a momentum and motivational standpoint. Although he only finished with 72 yards on seven carries, he did have a few other nice runs, including an 8-yard gain. And he gained 13 yards on a check-down pass during a third quarter touchdown drive that made the Dome crowd erupt again.
Saints assistant head coach Joe Vitt obviously didn't like the little push-off that Jones got away with against Greer on his 52-yard catch in the fourth quarter. Vitt earned an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty for leaving the box to complain about it. Jones definitely got a hand on Greer's back, which allowed Jones to go up for the ball while Greer fell forward, but it wasn't a blatant shove. And I honestly don't know the officials' standard for those calls, so I'm not sure how surprising it was to see a no-call there. ... White also had a little push-off against safety Isa Abdul-Quddus in the final seconds that nearly sprung him free for a game-winning touchdown, but it was even less controversial. The two were jockeying for position with their arms, and White actually went looking for a pass interference call. It was a good no-call both ways.
Another judgment call that went in the Saints' favor early in the fourth quarter, when a pass to Douglas was ruled incomplete and the replay review was inconclusive. It looked like Douglas made the catch but it wasn't irrefutable. The Falcons wound up scoring on that drive regardless.

If It Doesn't Fit — JUST. FUCKING. STOP.
My inner dialogue every time I watch someone trying to squeeze a large bag into a bin that everyone else on the plane can see will NOT fit:
"round hole square peg round hole square peg round hole square peg"
"Still not fitting"
"Fuck I hate Tetris"
"The bin isn't 'too small' — your fancy, (now expanded) bag is too big"
"I will bet anyone on this plane $100 that the bitch is saying 'I fly with this bag all the time' right now"
"No, I don't have a magic wand that will make it fit after you walk away and leave it hanging 3 feet out of the bin for me to deal with"
"That shit did NOT fit on your last flight, asshole"
"Nope, trying 14 times while 100 people stand behind you still won't make it work"
"Gotta admire the tenacity of this dumbass"
"I'm not even getting paid right now"
"Would I be breathing if my head just exploded?"
"…the amount you fly doesn't make the bag smaller or the bin bigger. Just look at it, look at it with your eyes — your real eyes, not the crazy eyes." –Louis C. K.

Critics may not have been receptive, but Netflix CEO Reed Hastings says their new Eli Roth-produced horror series "Hemlock Grove" is "getting viewed by even more subscribers in its first couple of days" than "House Of Cards" scored in February.
In other TV news, FX is developing the period drama series "Shakedown" inspired by the life of Fred Otash. James Ellroy will pen the script and executive produce.
The story is set in the tabloid world and underbelly of Los Angeles circa the late 1950s, with O'Tash as the city's top informant/operator/wire tapper/fixer.

It's always very upsetting to see a sports player get involved with drugs. Dustin Johnson has done just that and he has suspended himself from the PGA Tour because of a positive test for cocaine reported Golf.com on Aug. 1, 2014. At this time Johnson is serving a six-month self-imposed suspension from the PGA Tour after the positive test for cocaine.
A source says Johnson has failed three drug tests. First he failed a test for marijuana in 2009 and than two for cocaine in 2012 and 2014. He was hit with a suspension for the 2012 failed test which was never made public. Under the drug testing policies of the PGA Tour it is not required to publicly announce any disciplinary actions which are made against players who test positive for recreational drugs.
On Thursday Johnson announced that he's taking a leave of absence from professional golf which is effective immediately. He said that he plans to use this time to seek professional help for personal challenges which he has faced. He also says that by committing the time and resources which are needed to improve his mental health, physical well-being and emotional foundation, he is confident that he will be better equipped to fulfill his potential and become a consistent champion.
The PGA Tour has released a statement wishing Johnson well reports ESPN. Executive vice president of the PGA Tour Ty Votaw says that Johnson's leave has been completely voluntary. Votaw says Johnson has not actually been suspended. In regard to reports saying Johnson has been officially suspended Votaw says the PGA Tour has a policy not to comment on rumors and speculation. The self motivated move by Johnson to seek help for his drug problem is impressive and probably means due to his own willpower he may someday leave drugs behind him and get back to the healthy lifestyle of a good sports player.

VIENNA — Paul Ryan, the Republican vice-presidential nominee, will return to the Mahoning Valley on Monday with a campaign stop at Winner Aviation at the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport in Vienna.
Ryan will start his day in Reno, Nev., make additional stops — though none have been announced yet — and finish with an evening rally at the airport.
The doors will open at 6:45 p.m. with the program starting at 9:15 p.m. Monday, the day before the election.
Tickets can be picked up at the Mitt Romney/Ryan Victory Center office in the Great East Plaza in Niles.
This is Ryan's third visit to the Mahoning Valley since the Wisconsin congressman was tapped by Romney to be his running mate.
For the complete story, read Friday's Vindicator and Vindy.com
Will the Veep wannabe throw some lies to GM Lordstown, like the JEEP SHOTS willard made in Toledo?
Sorry count most people OUT ...Going to bed at 9:30 at night. You're on your own Ryan.
He'll get NOBODY at that hour. (cmon the program starts at 9:15 pm???) Are you kidding me? Crazy.
Biden comes to Covelli and packed house.
Ryan comes to Winner Aviation and stand outside in the cold=Desperate.
Vindypost Since when is 9:30 p.m. late? I guess, when you are OLD. It is! I'll be there . It's better then going to see Joe WALTER Biden and Bill CIGAR Clinton in the middle of the day.Only the entitlement people showed up at Covelli Center to see what else they can get for FREE. GO ROMNEY!
They'll need to rent, what, about a dozen folding chairs?
Bring your clean pots and pans and a scrub brush.
I would guess the twelve people who show up already decided who they will vote for. What a waste of time, at that hour.
He has nothing to offer this area.No one here is in the 1%.
I think the sissy union thugs will be surprised by the turnout. Republican enthusiasm is up and we will be out in force, just like when Bush and McCain went there.
Come and meet the next Vice President.See all you Dems next Wednesday....can't wait to hear you cry foul!
I hear Ryan asked for his picture to be taken donating empty cans of food to the relief effort for Sandy victims.
damn, this is going to be tough to get tickets for....will there be any scalpers?
If Ryan was so good at math, he would start in the east and head west. He is just wasting too many clock hours coming east.
Turn out the LIGHTS the willard/ryan party is over.
