(Ivanhoe Newswire) –According to a new study, postmenopausal women who consumed sugar-sweetened beverages were 78 percent more likely to develop the most common type of endometrial cancer compared with women who didn't drink sugar-sweetened beverages.
Researchers used data from 23, 039 postmenopausal women who reported dietary intake, demographic information, and medical history in 1986, prior to the cancer diagnosis, as part of the Women's Health Study. Dietary intake was assessed using the Harvard Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), which asked participants to report intake frequency of 127 food items in the previous 12 months.
The FFQ included four questions asking usual intake frequency of sugar-sweetened beverages, including 1) Coke®, Pepsi®, or other colas with sugar; 2) caffeine-free Coke®, Pepsi®, or other colas with sugar; 3) other carbonated beverages with sugar (7 -Up®); and 4) Hawaiian Punch®, lemonade, or other noncarbonated fruit drinks.
Because this study is the first to show the association between high sugar-sweetened beverage consumptions and endometrial cancer, replication in other studies needs to be done, according to Maki Inoue-Choi, Ph.D., M.S., R.D., who led this study as a research associate in the Division of Epidemiology and Community Health of the University of Minnesota School of Public Health in Minneapolis.

Harrison Co. SCAD Unit Arrests Alleged Drug Dealer; Seizes Bath Salts & Cash
Written by Nicole Porter
Last updated on February 07, 2013 @ 11:45PM
Created on February 07, 2013 @ 6:43PM
90 plus packets of bathsalts, two cars and more than $50,000 in cash is what the Harrison County Sheriff's Department Street Crimes and Drug Unit seized during what some are calling a huge arrest at a local hotel Wednesday.
An undercover officer found Larry T. Greggory II, of Shinnston in a room at a local hotel. This man had apparently been a known drug dealer in the area.
Sheriff Albert Marano said the department had been getting some calls about Greggory for some time. When they first found him, they were able to arrest him for a capius he had from a prior weapons charge.
They then got a search warrant. Between the hotel and two cars, they found 95 packets of bath salts, more than $50,000 in cash and a gun. They also found personalized bath salts labels. Gregorry admitted that he had gone to Ohio at least four times to buy bath salts to sell here in the Mountain State.
"We've received a lot of complaints about this particular subject. I do consider him a major drug dealer in Harrison County, in the Harrison County area and I consider this a major bust in Harrison County," said Sheriff Marano.
Prosecuting Attorney Joe Shaffer said this arrest and seizure should show people the importance of the Harrison County Street Crimes and Drug unit.
"They've been on the ground a daily basis, a nightly basis putting in a lot of effort and I'm very ecstatic," said Shaffer.
The investigation in on-going. They believe Greggory operated on his on but more people could be involved.
Shaffer said Ohio needs to change their laws regarding the sales of bath salts because most dealers in this area are believed to drive there to buy the drugs.

In Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Barty Crouch Jr (as an imposter of MadEye Moody) utters Lord Voldemort's name soon after Harry returns to Hogwarts from the graveyard. He asks Harry if Voldemort has really returned and whether Voldemort punished the Death Eaters, and so on. As far as I know Death Eaters never spoke Lord Voldemort's name. This seems inconsistent. Any ideas on this?
Mainly, Barty Crouch Jr thought himself to be Voldemort's most faithful Death Eater; it's possible he anointed himself as being worthy of speaking Voldemort's name and as having earned the right to do so.
I personally don't interpret the Polyjuice Potion as being relevant; after saying Voldemort's name in front of Harry, Crouch Jr went on to give a full confession of his plan and actions over the past nine months, and then he attempted to kill Harry, all while still Polyjuiced. I don't think he was concerned about saying Voldemort's name in front of Harry because his intention was to kill Harry; there would be no witness to Crouch Jr saying Voldemort's name if Harry were dead.
Barty obviously didn't want to make Harry suspicious before his polyjuice potion wore off.

Mom always said to eat your vegetables, so this Mother's Day serve her breakfast in bed inspired by a walk through the garden.
We began with the idea of egg-in-a-hat, in which an egg is cracked into a hole cut in the center of a slice of bread. The whole thing is pan-fried, usually just until the white is set.
Instead of toast, we used the same idea with a bed of vegetables. We sauteed a vegetable hash, then nestled eggs into the center of it.
Skillet Garden Eggs With Fontina
Start to finish: 20 minutes; servings: 2
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 slices prosciutto, chopped
1 small red onion, chopped
2 cups chopped Swiss chard (preferably rainbow)
1/2 small zucchini, finely chopped
1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes
Salt and ground black pepper
4 eggs
1/2 cup grated fontina cheese
In a large nonstick skillet over medium, heat the olive oil. Add the prosciutto and onion and saute until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the Swiss chard and zucchini and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown.
Add the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Stir well, then arrange the vegetables in an even layer. Using a spoon, create 4 wells in the vegetables, each about 2 inches wide. Crack an egg into each well. Cover the skillet and cook until just shy of desired doneness, about 3 to 4 minutes. Sprinkle the cheese over the eggs, then cover and cook for another minute. Transfer half of the vegetables and 2 eggs onto each plate.

Kids on a Cruise: 9 Things Every Parent Should Do

I am going to add one on here- teenagers need to check in too. Recent sexual attacks on underage girls by older male guests on board show that just because you are on vacation you should not allow your kids to skip curfew.

Those are words to live by, be respectful, we want the kids to have a great time too, but sometimes parents forget that its not all about there little angels!! If all parents would do this more people would not mind kids being on board!!!

Very well put,I was on the NCL last year alot of kids ,dont get me wrong i love kids ,Butt that cruise was a night mair, from Hell" The kids were sooo bad, Parents let them do whatever they wanted, to do,because it was their vacation to. I hope i dant go through that again. my next cruise is in April 2012 no NCL Gem, lets hope this one is better!! Barb
February 21st, 2012 @ 7:38 pm
I wish we could take your article & frame it and have a copy on every ship, to be seen by all parents as they board. I love kids, I have three(now grown) and five grandchildren, so I'm not a "kid hater". I do believe the responsibility for the children's behavior lies with the parents and not the crew. Great letter, now if we could just get parents to pay attention to it. Lol

Most of these apply on land too. Basically the message to parents is: realize other people exist and they don't think your kids' anti-social behavior is cute. Your job to teach them how to co-exist.

Don't get me wrong…i LOVE children and I have loved cruising with my own daughter However, every parent considering taking their children should read this. It is disappointing to see adults take their children on vacation only to take a vacation from parenting as well…letting their children run wild and ruining the vacations of others. Sadly, we experienced the one example provided above first hand on our last cruise…a father and toddler were camped in one of the ships hot tubs when they suddenly left…soon after ship crew members roped off the area and began removing "debris", cleaning, and sanitizing…it remained closed for the rest of the day. Many ships post age limits for certain areas or provide designated areas for children and families…yet this family chose to disregard those suggestions/rules as not applying to them and instead majorly inconvenienced many others…crew and passengers alike. Sad.

Amen and Amen. Also, parents dont take a vacation from being a parent! Never allow your children to run down those VERY long hallways and tell them not to touch every cookie on the lido buffet until they find the one with the most chocolate chips. Lastly, tell your kids not to cut in line at the lido buffet.
February 21st, 2012 @ 8:27 pm
Our kids were 18 and 15 when we went on our first cruise. They could enjoy it and remember it. If you can't control your young kids, then don't take them. It's not rocket science, people.
February 21st, 2012 @ 11:26 pm
I was on the Legend OTS one summer(2007) doing a Mediterranean I was amazed at how many teens and toddlers were on board, there was chaos everywhere children were on the stairs playing in elevators kids in the Dinning rms no curfew kids running down the halls where the cabins ,babies in the adult pools with thier pool toys I was so upset we couldnt enjoy the pool and talked to a crew member in the pool area that signs were posted about toddlers in diapers and all he did was shrug and did nothing, I make sure I never cruise during the summer or holiday breaks, the same happpened on the Independence they make such cute big pools for the children but parents still put thier toddlers in the adult pool and hot tubs and the solarium pools teens jump right in. I have heard about the Oasis and Allure that families with many children running everywhere I dont think I will be booking on those cruises I find Trans Atlantic are good for me not much teens or children but I pick carefully and follow the posting threads to see who have kids with them you can find out by just reading the post because they try to match up thier kids for companionship.
But there are annoucements at the muster drills now that certain behaviors are not tolerated and they will have them exit on the next port. Don't forget sometimes thier is no toilets working when kids plug them up we have had annoucements on one cruise that someones child had plugged up the system , now many cruise later for me I have carefully picked my cruises……Is thier really someone on the ship that enforces rules they should be noticeable like wear something that shows your the Ship police………….
February 22nd, 2012 @ 1:56 am
Very good article, I wish every parent in the world would live by these rules. The only problem I usually have with kids on board ( and I have a 10 yr old who I have told NEVER to do this) is kids taking a running JUMP into the hot tubs! Then they proceed to swim around! Then they get out and do it over and over, sometimes hitting someone in the process. Meanwhile the parent is either in the hot tub doing nothing about it, or nowhere to be seen. I always say something to the kids, I don't care. Hot tubs are for relaxing, not jumping and swimming. I can't stand this!
February 22nd, 2012 @ 12:27 pm
Wow…angry much? Here's my code of conduct for bloggers: Don't be so condescending to your readers and don't paint us all with the same brush. Don't assume everyone has the same kids you have.
February 23rd, 2012 @ 1:43 pm
We have two young kids (2.5 and 4.5) and travel twice a year with them. Our kids are experienced travellers, but they are still kids.
Rule # 1 Parents with kids on vacation need to be responsible and teach responsibility to their kids. Be fair to your surroundings.
Rule #2 Pay attention to naps, food, bathroom, necessities of life. On airplanes, give your kids drinks to balance their ears on takeoff and landings.
Rule #3 During travel is NOT the time to discipline your child. Give them their little toy to shut them up, it is only for a couple of hours and will not harm your long term discipline approach.
Rule #4 Treats are OKAY on vacation, for everyone. Use the babysitting/camps services, and if the vacation doesn't have one, why are you going on it? Disney and other lines have great camps, use them!
those are my words of wisdom, they have served us well, enjoy!
February 23rd, 2012 @ 2:40 pm
I'm a confused mother of two little daughters who love to cruise. I mean why is this even a topic? Shouldn't we be teaching our kids respect, good manners and boundaries everyday! Our kids are not saints but we can take them to any restaurant or on any vacation and they know the rules and know they will follow them. It's not an option. Seriously parents, let's get a back bone. Cruise ship employees are not there to raise up your kids. Keep them in check and you can still have a good time. OK maybe I'm less confused and more sassy. ;)
February 23rd, 2012 @ 3:48 pm
Totally not a kid hater, but sadly, even on Disney, or maybe especially because its Disney many parents seem to forget that they are parents and let their kids do whatever, wherever. My son is 13 years old, on our most recently cruise we were watching an 11:00 PM movie in the theater. There were a group of about 8 teens, jumping back and forth over the chairs and chasing each other down the rows.
One dad near the front of the theater ended up getting up and telling them to cut it out. I don't think any of the kids were his. Two of them sat down, three others walked out of theater. The other three stood there in the theater telling him that he had know business telling them what to do and were horribly rude.
We really couldn't believe the attitude, my son was pretty surpised a not happy about how those other kids were bahaving and made the comment that no wonder people don't like teenagers. It all comes down to parenting what we will and won't tolerate and how much attention we pay to our kids.

Hooray for the few parents who teach and raise their children with courtesy, respect and civility. This is what cruisers would greatly appreciate. I do not believe that is asking too much. Parenting is not for the lazy.
February 23rd, 2012 @ 4:38 pm
Rules are rules and not meant to be broken..I don't understand why there are some who try to break the rules!! On our cruise just 1 week ago I saw parents put their children in the audlt pool because the other was to full!! When the sign says \AUDLTS ONLY\ why do parents not understand that!!
February 23rd, 2012 @ 5:53 pm
Seems like some adult kids fit this description! I use adult loosely! Especially in folowing dress code rules! "It's MY vacation!" if you get my drift. Some ill trained children grow up to be ill trained adults.
Whose the "Boss" parents? Seems the children are. Your so wanting to be their friend and liked that you dare not discipline. Be their parent they need you! They'll ike you for it in the end.

A couple of comments have suggested that people take a vacation from parenting, I'm very dubious of this. All the evidence I've seen suggests that people parent in much the same way regardless of time or place. If children run wild on a cruise and break stuff then you can probably assume that they do the same at home. There are certain types of misbehaviour that kids won't even think of unless they have practiced their way towards it over a period of time.
I agree that the rules should generally be obeyed, but reasonable people can determine exceptions to some rules. For example I took my child to a hot tub that was apparently reserved for adults (according to the ship plan although there were no immediate signs that I noticed) during a rain storm. Most adults just don't want to be in a hot tub during bad weather so IMHO there's no harm in a child having a chance to explore different hot tubs.
Also I think that people should be careful about what types of unexpected behavior they make an issue out of. There are a lot of special needs kids out there who look quite average. A parent who wants to make things more pleasant for everyone else and lets their special needs child get away with minor things to avoid causing a big disturbance can look much like a loser parent who doesn't care about other people.

on my daughter's first cruise ( she was almost 3) she seemed a little mad. I asked what was wrong, and she was mad that no one told her the sun went into the water at night. That's something I'll never forget, and if she wasn't there it would have never happened.

FYI if your kids are misbehaving in a hot tub that they don't belong in, i will nicely but firmly ask them to leave. if they chose to continue misbehaving i will remove them. and have a crew member deliver them back to you. the expectation is that the child will respect an adults request. i would like to believe that fully 7 out of 10 kids will comply. i simply refuse to let those other 3 kids (and their sorry excuse for parents) to wreck my first cruise.

Linda writes: I'm hoping one of you could help me. I thought I had found my perfect pair of shoes for my wedding in May when I found these hot pink Fendi Deco Suede Pumps. But alas, the picture from on website is not a correct depiction of the product. The shoe is hot pink suede, but the heel and the platform was a stacked wood instead of covered in suede. Although the shoes would look great with jeans or a summer dress, I need something more formal for the wedding on May 28th. I'm looking for something hot pink, sophisticated/classic with a bit of fun, preferably a heel that is over 3.5 inches, and one that is a d'orsay, peep-toe, or open toe. Thank you!

Changes in Registration and Course Drop Period The course drop period is the first seven calendar days of the semester or the first seven days of a course delivered in the first or second eight week term. Courses may be dropped during this period with no financial penalty and will not appear on the student's permanent record. Changes in registration include adding or dropping from a course. All changes in registration must be made in writing or online through WebTools. Tuition refunds for courses dropped are subject to the course drop withdrawal policy. Changes in registration may be done online through WebTools through the defined drop period. Course Drop/Withdrawal Policy Students must formally drop or withdraw from a course for which they have registered, but do not plan to attend or complete. Students who drop a course online using WebTools, up through the designated drop period, will not be charged a drop fee and the course will be removed from the transcript. Students receiving financial aid, including loans and grants, will receive the grade of W for all course drop/withdrawal that occur after financial aid has been disbursed, including prior to the start of the course and during the first 50% of the course. Withdrawals requested after 50% of the scheduled course will result in a grade of WF. Written requests to drop or withdraw from a course must be sent to: email@example.com. Written requests received after the drop period has ended will be charged a $30.00 drop fee per request and liability for payment will be incurred. Tuition Refund Tuition refund for courses are calculated based on the amount of elapsed course time as measured from the start date of the course until the end date of the course. Up to 20% of the amount of elapsed course time: 100% 21-35% of the amount of elapsed course time: 75% 36-50% of the amount of elapsed course time: 50% After 51% of the amount of elapsed course time: None Withdrawals requested after the drop period ends and up to the first 50% of the course will result in the grade of W on the student's transcript. Withdrawals requested after 50% of the scheduled course has been completed will result in a grade of WF on the student's transcript. Tuition Refund Appeal for Extenuating Circumstances Requests for a refund of all or a portion of tuition charges due to extenuating circumstances may be submitted within 90 days after the semester ends. Requests must include a letter of explanation citing your situation and the reason why tuition should be refunded. Include reasons you were unable to follow the usual refund/drop procedures and attach third party documentation citing the circumstances. Documentation needs to sufficiently justify and address the extenuating situation. Should a refund be granted, a W(for withdrawal) will remain on your academic record for each course. Administrative Withdrawal from a Course Failure to follow course withdrawal procedures will result in administrative withdrawal. A student will be administratively withdrawn after the third consecutive class for non attendance. A student administratively withdrawn after missing the first three consecutive classes will result in a 50% tuition refund and the grade of X (unauthorized withdrawal), which negatively impacts the GPA, on the student's transcript. Students enrolled in fully online programs will be administratively withdrawn after seven days of inactivity. The tuition refund is based on the last date or attendance and will result in an X grade. A student administratively withdrawn after missing the first three consecutive classes will result in a 50% tuition refund and the grade of X (unauthorized withdrawal), which negatively impacts the GPA, on the student's transcript.

"Buying through this scheme was a life saver for me and the only way that I was able to buy my own home in the location I wanted. Shared Ownership definitely gives people more of a chance to own their own property. I was able to put down what was comfortable for me financially and my outgoings are now really reasonable - unlike renting where I was paying such a high rent and the home wasn't even mine."

Part buy part rent in Plymouth
The longest-running affordable home ownership scheme is 'shared ownership', and this is often referred to as 'part buy part rent' because you literally buy part of a property and then pay rent on the remainder. Thus, the product can be seen as literally offering a stepping stone between renting and buying. When you part rent part buy a home, the share can start from as little as 25% and the rent on the remaining share is usually capped at an affordable amount usually in the region of 2.75%. If you consider that availability of mortgages with a 5% deposit has historically been strong in the shared ownership scheme, you can potentially put down just 5% of 25% of the purchase price and as you may often not have to pay the purchase tax known as stamp duty, it makes the total cash you need typically far lower than buying on the open market. Another strong feature of the part buy scheme in Plymouth and elsewhere is that there is an established second hand market of part buy part rent homes. Although most properties are available on a new build basis, over time, these properties can be sold on to new buyers and if the owner has not yet bought 100% of the property they can offer their existing share for sale on a second hand basis in a process known as a 'resale'. Search sharetobuy.com for part buy part rent properties in Plymouth and across England.
Plymouth is situated along the beautiful south coast of Devon between the mouth of two rivers, Plym and Tamar.

Are u passing blood clots? It's very normal to bleed during pregnancy and still have everything be ok. But usually if u see the CLOTS is when it can very well be a miscarriage. i also bled at 8 weeks and today in 24 weeks and everything is great. Good luck. You can always go to the ER too. Sometimes they will give you an U/S because by now you shouls be able to see the heartbeat if there is one.posted 07/10/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

College Hockey:Alaska-Anchorage punches ticket to Final Five with shutout of Minnesota
MINNEAPOLIS — Alaska-Anchorage advanced to the WCHA Final Five for the second time in school history after breaking away from Minnesota in the third period Saturday for a 2-0 victory at Mariucci Arena.
Anchorage's Mickey Spencer scored his first goal of the season on a breakaway at 2:32 of the third. Jordan Kwas hit Spencer in stride with an outlet pass, and Spencer beat Minnesota goaltender Kent Patterson glove side to break the scoreless tie.
"I thought as the game went on the pressure was obviously on them," Seawolves coach Dave Shyiak said. "The longer we kept it tight, I thought that was to our advantage. We just needed one break, and it was a guy that got his first goal, and a nice goal."
Tommy Grant scored the goal that broke the Gophers' back, also on a breakaway.
It came after a scrum in front of the Anchorage net. The puck was worked out of the zone by Brad Gorham and Brett Cameron. Grant picked up the puck in the neutral zone and converted on the breakaway to put a dagger in the Minnesota season.
"Give Anchorage credit. They came in and the played the way the wanted to play and they stayed with it start to finish for two games," Gophers coach Don Lucia said.
Aided by 25 blocked shots, Chris Kamal shut out Minnesota for the second time this year at Mariucci.
"We wanted to keep our game simple and play in the mud, which I thought we did tonight and we kept their shot totals down," Shyiak said. "We outshot them again. We capitalized on a couple chances we had. I thought Chris Kamal was the best player on the ice tonight."
The loss means Minnesota will not make the NCAA tournament for the third year in a row. It also makes the second straight year Minnesota did not make the WCHA Final Five in St. Paul.
Lucia did not want to talk about what needs to happen to get Minnesota back to the top of the WCHA. This year's early bounce from the WCHA tournament will only increase the pressure on the Gophers coach.
"Being only a few games over .500 isn't successful for us," he said. "It's a part of this program. I think we had a few guys grow this year."
Lucia, who has won two national championships at Minnesota, has one year remaining on his contract and could be on the hot seat.
"If you do this long enough, you are going to have highs and you are going to have lows," Lucia said.
The second period was far from crisp — Minnesota kept shooting pucks into Anchorage players and turning the puck over; the Seawolves couldn't complete a pass.
After two periods, Anchorage had blocked 18 shots to Minnesota's one. Shots in close favored Minnesota but Kamal stood tall.
The first period was evenly played. Although the shots favored the Seawolves 9-8, quality chances favored Minnesota.
The Gophers had several odd-man rushes on which they failed to convert.
It was a much better first period for the Gophers than Friday night. They made better decisions with the puck and kept Anchorage's scoring opportunities to a minimum.
The period ended scoreless.
The Seawolves will stay in the Twin Cities this week to play on Thursday at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul.
"We took a major step by getting to the Final Five, but also we this is the most wins we have ever had in the WCHA era," Shyiak said.

Spring is finally—slowly—arriving to East Tennessee, and most moms and kids alike are glad to see it. Instead of being stuck inside all day nearly every day, it's finally possible to get out and play. Instead of bundling up from the moment you wake up until the moment you go to bed, you can wear flip flops and t-shirts, run around the house barefoot, and not have to worry too much about it. Outside, everything is beautiful as flowers start to bloom—and it's more likely than not that your toddler is also discovering the beauty of the flowers.
Your first instinct is to lunge for them, preventing them from picking anything more than a weed. After all, once they're out of the ground, they can't go back; and it's impossible to enjoy flowers that have withered and died because they're no longer growing and no longer in water.
But what if you didn't?
What if you let your child wear the flowers?
Boy or girl—at toddler age, it doesn't matter—your child will enjoy the opportunity to pick them, handle them, arrange their hair around them. Girls, in particular, may like to try several different hair styles or even several different colors of flowers, each time asking whether or not they're pretty. Why not let them have a little fun—and then join in yourself?
What if you let your young child play with the flowers?
Your instinct is not to hand a very young child anything delicate—but if you're in close attendance, there's nothing wrong with allowing even an infant to feel the texture, rub their fingers and their faces all over the flower, and even breathe in the scent (as long as allergies are not a concern).
What if you let your child handle the flowers?
Sure, their grubby, rough little hands will likely tear the flowers, and crush them, and in general destroy them—but how much fun will they have doing it? How much enjoyment will they attain from those few minutes of flower play—and why is it worth so much to prevent it?
What if you encouraged your child to arrange the flowers?
What if they touched them, arranged them, looked at how they look best together? What if they played with them and rearranged them? What if they enjoyed playing with them, instead of just picking them and running off again?
What if you let them explore?
For children, playing is learning. Exploring is learning. The more interest they take in their world, the more they are going to discover about it. So instead of shouting, "No, no, no! Don't pick Mommy's pretty flowers!" consider letting them delight in them. Play with them. Enjoy them. After all, isn't that what flowers are for?

It was that time of the "American Idol" season again (for the thirteenth time): The results of America's vote and the naming of the Top 3. Which three will got to go home to roaring crowds and radio promos and concerts and gladhanding with local celebrities and politicians? Which finalist got edged out and won't grace the "Idol" stage for the Top 3 sing-off? Who got sent home for some R-and-R and a recharge for the last show before the finale? And who got sent home for good?
On Thursday night's results show, there was again no performer, save for the unfortunate finalist singing their last song before heading home, n'er to return for the competition. And that finalist? Unsurprisingly, it was Jessica Meuse. As Lyndsey Parker at Yahoo TV pointed out in her recap on May 8: "Jessica literally delivered her greatest performance of Season 13."
She followed with: "Too bad it was her farewell performance. If only Jess had brought this sort of fire and passion to her "Idol" performances every week, she might have made it to this year's finale."
And that she might have. But, alas, it was not to be. Too stiff throughout, too controlled, and too mannequin-faced to truly connect with the audience, Jesisca had managed to connect with her superb vocals long enough to get to the Top 4. But her three performances on the Top 4 performance show were two-thirds lacking, with her covers of Kelly Clarkson and Pink getting her nowhere. Literally.
But after a good cry once she knew the results, she belted out her own song, "Blue Eyed Lie," like her life depended on it. (Something stirs the more prescient and projecting portions of the brain. Somehow we all know this one has what it takes to make it in Nashville. She might not be the next American Idol, but neither was Adam Lambert, Chris Daughtry, Clay Aiken, Kellie Pickler, Mandisa, or Jennifer Hudson. And still they persevered and succeeded...)
Other than finding out who made the Top 3 and got to go home and take a camera crew with them (Caleb Johnson, Jena Irene, and Alex Preston), the Top 4 results show was nothing but filler. Oh, and the usual awful Ford commercial starring the remaining "Idol" finalists, something hardly worth mentioning (but, hey, these articles need filler, too).
The Top 3 will return next week to vye for America's votes to see who sings in the finale and has a chance at that recording contract and the Season 13 title. They'll be singing three songs each: A song chosen for them by the judges, a song chosen for them by Season 13 mentor Randy Jackson, and a reprise of a song performed earlier in the season chosen by the finalists' hometowns.
"American Idol" airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and Thursdays at 9 p.m. (EST) on Fox Television.
In related news: "American Idol" was renewed for its fourteenth season this week, despite its continuing decline in ratings. (Even so, the show is still pulling in more than 7 million viewers each week.) Host Ryan Seacrest will return for his fourteenth season as well.

The two teams and their first-year coaches that were consensus choices to finish fifth - Kansas State (3-1) - and sixth - Iowa State (2-2) - now occupying the top two positions?
And everyone else below .500 - that's Nebraska, Kansas and Colorado (each at 1-2) - with Missouri winless (0-3)?
Something doesn't compute, but it's pretty close to mirroring what's going on from sideline to sideline in college football.
The Big 12 South, where unbeaten, third-ranked Texas reigns, also can be pulled into this conversation, with Texas A&M perhaps the poster boys for unpredictable behavior.
On the road the past two weekends, the Aggies have been involved in a 62-14 loss (at K-State) and a 52-30 win (at Texas Tech).
By most accounts, A&M's performance at K-State was several gasps below hideous. Aggies coach Mike Sherman, ah, challenged his team to play with more purpose at Texas Tech and the response was, well, something he wishes he could explain.
"I can't," he said on Monday's Big 12 coaches teleconference, adding "our backs were against the wall" - which is coach-speak for his whistle potentially being in a wringer with well-heeled Aggies alums if another walkabout weekend followed.
Here's the puzzling thing for Sherman and other coaches: He said his meetings and practices on the Monday prior to the K-State debacle were "great," but on the Monday prior to the Texas Tech trip "not as good as the week before."
Go figure.
Enigmatic A&M, which visits Boulder in two weeks, is playing about 20 freshmen, and with none of them ever having visited Manhattan, Kan., Sherman surmised the shock of that first trip might have been a factor.
Or, he added with a laugh, "It was cold - but I hope it wasn't (a factor)."
More plausible, though, was K-State merely taking advantage of a visitor succumbing to whatever it is (and the possibilities are many) that plagues visiting football teams. That, or Texas A&M's young talent, like any assemblage of former high school stars - coping like former high school stars when faced with college-game adversity for the first time.
Plus, Sherman added, "Kansas State played well." But K-State didn't play particularly well last Saturday against Colorado. Start your list with this: The Wildcats were penalized nine times for 69 yards and were 2-for-11 on third-down conversions.
At least coach Bill Snyder found humor in it: "I'm going to start punting on third down so we don't have to face that anymore."
But as mediocre as his team was, CU was inexplicably worse - rushing for 60 yards, while yielding 204; losing two fumbles; throwing two interceptions and being penalized eight times for 69 yards . . . and that list could go on.
With Mizzou visiting Folsom Field Saturday (11:30 a.m., FSN), Dan Hawkins and the Buffs find themselves in the same indelicate position as Sherman and the Aggies did a couple of weeks ago - their backsides flush with the drywall.
But in the Big 12 North, there's always room for one, two or three more backsides on the brink.
Said Missouri coach Gary Pinkel: "You never know what you're going to go through in a season. I told (his players) that adversity comes and you have to handle it and deal with it in a positive way.
"We've been here before and no one likes it. There's a sense of urgency . . . we have to start playing better. It starts with me and filters down to our coaches and players.
"Our kids are doing OK, but they have to see it (the urgency). We have to get going - fast."
The Tigers, adjusting to life minus Chase Daniel, Jeremy Maclin, et al, are 0-3 in conference play for the first time since 2002. Daniel's successor, Blaine Gabbert, has been playing on a bum right ankle for a couple of weeks, and he tweaked the injury in Saturday's 41-7 loss to No. 3 Texas.
Pinkel expects Gabbert to play Saturday at CU, and Tyler Hansen will start at quarterback for the Buffs. But Mizzou will be minus starting middle linebacker Luke Lambert, who suffered a shoulder separation against Texas and could be lost for the season.
The Tigers' three losses (they've won four) all have been in conference play, and they're yet to face the two North frontrunners - K-State, Iowa State - and border rival Kansas.
They're undoubtedly viewing their next two - CU, Baylor - as "get-well games" before launching that season-ending stretch mentioned above and attempting to reclaim their North title.
More and more, unless Snyder and K-State continue to reap the benefit of teams visiting Manhattan and playing dead, the North appears destined to crown a 4-4 champion. It's happened before (see: CU in 2004).
Kansas State's conference loss was at Texas Tech (66-14), while Iowa State's two league losses were against K-State (24-23) and Kansas (41-36) - with both honestly in the could-have-won category.
And first-year Cyclones coach Paul Rhoads, formerly the defensive coordinator at Auburn (the Tigers initiated the "coach swap" by hiring Cyclones head coach Gene Chizik), believes his team's confidence swelled even in those losses, but most certainly in the 9-7 win at Nebraska last weekend.
"I think our confidence has grown every week," Rhoads said. "Our goal from Day 1 was to improve in everything . . . and we continue to do that as a team and as players."
Under Chizik, the Cyclones won five games in two seasons. Rhoads hasn't dwelled on that, or which schools have beaten Iowa State how many times, where or by how much.
Case in point: Before last Saturday, the Cornhuskers hadn't lost to the Cyclones in Lincoln since 1977. And Iowa State won this time with a backup quarterback and No. 2 tailback. (Nebraska's eight turnovers helped, too.)
"We've been able to focus on this year's team," Rhoads said. "We've gone about the business of trying to win every game despite the point spread or how many times (Iowa State) has won or lost against that opponent . . .
"Our kids have bought into that - one day at a time, one game at a time. We're living it, not just thinking it."
Hold that thought. Winning the Big 12 North might not be such an outlandish idea in Ames, Iowa. At this point, the division is a grab bag; reach in and pull out a prize. Someone . . . anyone.
Expect Mizzou to enter Folsom Field Saturday with a heightened sense of urgency. Unless the Buffs match it, you can scratch one from that scramble in the Big 12 North.

HOOVER, Ala. --- Mississippi State begins defense of its 2012 SEC Tournament title Tuesday when the 13th-ranked and fifth-seeded Bulldogs (40-16/16-14 SEC) square off against league newcomer Missouri (18-31/10-20 SEC) in opening round competition in the 2013 SEC Baseball Tournament at the Hoover Metropolitan Stadium.
MSU and No. 12 seed MU meet in the final game of Tuesday's single-elimination round of competition immediately following the 4:30 p.m. battle between eighth-seeded Florida (29-27/14-16 SEC) and the SEC's other 2013 newcomer, ninth-seeded Texas A&M (30-25/13-16 SEC). Tuesday's winners advance to double-elimination competition Wednesday, with the State-Missouri winner facing No. 4 seed South Carolina (39-16/17-12 SEC). Top-seeded and No. 1-ranked Vanderbilt opens Wednesday's evening session with a 4:30 p.m. matchup with the Florida-Texas A&M winner.
The Bulldogs' SEC Tournament opener will be televised by Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS). The radio broadcast of all of Mississippi State's postseason competition will be heard on the statewide Bulldog Sports Network and available online to HailstateTV subscribers (http://www.hailstate.com/hstvlive).
Sophomore right-hander Trevor Fitts (0-0, 1.65) from nearby Helena, Ala. (Pelham High School) open on the mound for State in his second career start and 21st career appearance. Fitts made his debut as a starter a week ago, working 3.0 innings to lead a split pitching staff in MSU's 3-2 win over Oral Roberts. Missouri, which nailed down an SEC Tournament berth in its first year in the SEC with a 2-1 series showing against Kentucky, has tabbed junior lefty Rob Zastryzny (2-9, 3.64) as its opening night starter.
Fitts is one of seven Mississippi State players from neighboring Alabama. That list includes senior infielder Sam Frost from Hoover, Ala., making his third career trip "home" for SEC postseason play.
Mississippi State is playing in its 29th SEC Baseball Tournament, second-most SECT appearances in the league. The Bulldogs posted a 5-1 record during a grueling six-game, six-day run a year ago to claim the program's seventh SEC Tournament crown.
The Bulldog offense is sparked by junior outfielder Hunter Renfroe (.362, 51 RBI, SEC-leading 15 home runs), Monday named the recipient of the 2013 C Spire Ferriss Trophy as the Magnolia State's top collegiate baseball player. Junior Adam Frazier (.338, team-high 79 hits), a semi-finalist for the 2013 Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Year Award, enters the tournament riding a seven-game hitting streak. Frazier anchors the Bulldog defense with a league-leading 197 assists and assists on 51 of State's 63 double plays.
Tuesday's game is State's second meeting all-time with the Missouri Tigers. The Bulldogs claimed a 10-5 win in the 2003 NCAA Starkville Regional held at Dudy Noble Field.

A German shepherd, who was being walked by a man in St. Petersburg, Fla., was shot and killed by a police officer who was making an arrest, reported Friday's My Fox Tampa Bay.
The shooting took place in Williams park, late Thursday night, when St. Petersburg police officers were in the process of arresting a man for trespassing.
According to the report, the suspect, 21-year-old Kenneth McNeal, resisted the arrest, struggling with the officers and then dropping the leash to the dog; at that point, the dog allegedly turned on the officers who were making the arrest.
According to The Tampa Tribune, Officer Steven L. Laurenzi, 28, shot at the dog "several" times; the dog was killed.
McNeal was arrested for trespassing and resisting arrest - he claimed that the dog who was killed belonged to a friend, but acquaintances said that is not true, the dog was his.
The details surrounding the fatal shooting are being investigated.

Pink Panther 2 Movie Reviews
User reviews on Pink Panther 2
Overall, cute but I'd wait for the DVD.
There was a lot that was fun about this movie, mostly involving the typical Clousseau goofiness and physical comedy. This time around, Clousseau gets just a tiny bit deeper, but not like, Lord of the Rings deep or even Get Smart deep, Pink Panther deep.
Andy Garcia is one of the best parts of this movie, which also features a guest appearance by Lily Tomlin.
It's not going to win any Oscars or give you material to talk about with your friends for the next several days, but it IS cute & kid-friendly.

Bronson Verhines
Feb. 13, 2014
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Bronson Verhines' basketball career has been filled with surprises -- mostly good, a few bad -- but the senior forward is relishing his one and only year at Southern Illinois.
As a freshman at tiny Woodlawn High School near Mt. Vernon, Verhines was a 5-foot-8 point guard on the varsity team. By his junior year, he had grown nine inches and was playing center. In his senior season, he earned Class 1A All-State honors and teamed with younger brother Dawson to lead Woodlawn to the state championship game for the first time in school history.
Late in his senior year, Verhines still hadn't given much thought to playing college basketball. He planned to attend either Illinois or Saint Louis, but switched gears when several Division II schools offered him a scholarship. He chose Kaskaskia College in nearby Centralia, where he averaged 5.0 points his freshman year.
After the season, he decided he needed a break from organized basketball. Verhines transferred to SIUE and spent the next two years focusing on his studies.
"I felt a little overloaded," he explained. "I regret that decision. I should have stuck it out and played two years at Kaskaskia."
On the Edwardsville campus, he played pick-up games at the rec center and joined the club team, though "it didn't fill the void of wanting to be out there competitively and play in front of people." Then Dawson got a scholarship at Rend Lake College, and Bronson was intrigued by the possibility of teaming up with his brother one more time.
Rend Lake head coach Randy House granted him a scholarship, but since he had already completed three years of classes, there wasn't much the school could offer Bronson academically.
"As stupid as it was academically, I went back to Rend Lake to play basketball," he said. "Athletically, it worked out better than I ever could have imagined."
Rend Lake had an amazing 2013 season, finishing with a 30-3 record and capturing the NJCAA Division II national championship. Bronson, who averaged 10.0 points and 9.0 rebounds on the year, was named the Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
"If I had gone to any other school, it would have taken at least three semesters and probably four just to graduate," he said.
Everything changed when he got a call from SIU head coach Barry Hinson.
"I was star-struck," Bronson said. "He told me he was interested in recruiting me and wanted me to get down here for an open gym with the guys. I was blown away and extremely excited about the possibility of playing here."
The pieces quickly fell into place. Since SIU and SIUE are sister schools and have the same degree programs, his credits could easily transfer. A week after his tryout, Bronson received a text message he'll never forget.
"I was working at Staples and I looked at my phone and saw a text from Coach (Tom) Hankins," he smiled. "It said, `Are you ready to be a Saluki?'"
Bronson along with Dawson, who accepted a walk-on offer, were headed to Southern Illinois -- a dream come true.
"There's really no other place I'd rather play," he said. "It was a no-brainer."
The 6-foot-6 forward had an impressive start to his Saluki career. In the opener against Missouri, he made 4-of-5 shots from the field. Then he posted nine points and 11 rebounds against Saint Louis.
"I had no expectations and then all of the sudden I'm starting at Mizzou," he recalled. "That's what you play basketball for. I had a really good game against SLU, the atmosphere was amazing, and I fell in love with the idea of playing. I went home, and even though we lost, I couldn't stop thinking about it and smiling that I was playing Division I basketball against teams I've watched all my life."
He grabbed 10 more rebounds against Austin Peay, but then his season took a devastating turn when he suffered a high ankle sprain in the game against Missouri S&T. It kept him out of the lineup for almost a month, and when he returned in late December, he wasn't the same.
"After I came back from my ankle, I lost a lot of explosion," he said. "I can still box out, but when I jump up to get a rebound, it feels like I'm jumping in a dream. I just can't do it. I don't want to sit here and make excuses as to why I haven't been able to play as effectively, but it has been a contributing factor. With my talents, I need to be 100 percent to be effective at this level."
His playing time has dwindled as the season has progressed and other players, such as Bola Olaniyan, have stepped forward, but Bronson is no less happy to be a Saluki.
"I'll be able to look back on it and say I was able to play for the Salukis," he said. "I won't spend my entire life thinking about whether I could play Division I basketball. I can look back on it and say I gave it my all and it worked out pretty good for me."
Bronson will earn a degree in economics this spring and has already been accepted to graduate school and the MBA program at Loyola. He also added another chapter of memories of playing basketball with his brother.
"You don't really think about it on the court, but when you look back on it, you're able to remember how special it was to have that kind of run with your brother," he said.

Most of us have either seen the movies, watched the TV series or at least heard the name "Tugboat Annie." What most of us don't know is that this fictional character was based on the life of a real person, Thea Christiansen Foss who was a pioneer entrepreneur and a women's role model.
Thea Christiansen Foss was a Norwegian woman who came to America and happened to marry a Norwegian gentleman in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Thea Foss was a businesswoman in a time that being one was not that common. She took her place in a man's world and she worked like a man alongside her husband Andrew Foss.
The seedlings of her business began with Thea realized the need for water transportation. The germination of her future business started with the $5.00 purchase of a rowboat. "Through her life and work, Thea Foss became a pioneer archetype for women in the first half of the twentieth century."
In 1889 she created a tugboat business on the Tacoma, Washington waterfront. Foss Launch Company would one day become the Seattle-based Foss Maritime.
Much glamour has been written about Tugboat Annie first starting with a series of shorts published in the "Saturday Evening Post" In the 1920s
The classic movie, "Tugboat Annie" starring Wallace Beery and Marie Dressler aired in 1933. This version put out by Metro Goldwyn Mayer portrayed the couple as funny but quarrelsome mainly due to Terry, the movie husband's drinking.
The "Tugboat Annie Sails Again" production was released in 1940, "Captain Tugboat Annie" made in 1945, and a Canadian series called "The Adventures of Tugboat Annie " was produced in 1957.
The family had three children who continued on with the business for decades. Thea died just before her 70th birthday.

Subscription services have taken over every imaginable good: music, movies, groceries, shaving razors, and even local coffee. For a business, it means a steady, predictable flow of revenue from customers that must make an effort to cancel a subscription. For a consumer, it means the convenience of one less regular purchase, and depending on the good, a wide range of options and flexibility of usage.
Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) already runs a few subscription-type services. For $99 per year, you can get a subscription to Amazon Prime. Or, you can subscribe to order certain items on a regular interval -- say an economy-size box of diapers each month placed at your doorstep.
But Amazon has just leaked another subscription service it might offer. On a product website quickly removed from Amazon, it appears Amazon is readying a subscription service, Kindle Unlimited, allowing Kindle users to access 60,000 books and thousands of audiobooks for $10 per month.
What should you know about Amazon's Kindle Unlimited?
1. It will be another fight with publishers
Lately, Amazon and publisher Hachette have been in a negotiation battle. Amazon has delayed delivery of Hachette titles, and even wrote a note to Hachette authors stating that while the dispute lasts, the authors should receive 100% of e-book sales while both companies would forego any cut. Hachette declined.
For Amazon, lowering the price of books is necessary in order to compete with other forms of entertainment that occupy customer's lives. As Russell Grandinetti, the senior vice president of Kindle, told The New York Times:
You have to draw the box big. Books don't just compete against books. Books compete against Candy Crush, Twitter, Facebook, streaming movies, newspapers you can read for free. It's a new world. It's so important not to simply build a moat around the industry the way it is now.
Publishers disagree, and will likely disagree with Amazon about the royalties it proposes for an unlimited rental program at $10 per month. However, publishers like Hachette may not have a choice in the long run, as 60% of Hachette's sales occur through Amazon.
2. It will change what it means to be an author
The dynamics between Amazon, publishers, and authors continues to change as Amazon tweaks its services and structure. Amazon offers authors an immediate audience to customers, and with its Kindle Direct Publishing, offers royalties between 35% to 70%. Traditional publishers offer 25% royalties to authors for e-book sales. The publishers argue that higher prices, but lower royalties would mean more total earnings for an author. In addition, publishers provide editing and promotion. On the other hand, Amazon wants to push volume, and thinks a lower price with higher royalties will leave authors with more earnings.
Amazon keeps pushing new payment schemes to authors. For the Kindle Owner's Lending Library, which allows Amazon Prime members to loan a book once a month, each borrow counts as a share in a global fund, which is then distributed each month.
If Amazon wants to cap prices, authors could turn to much shorter serials, as many Kindle Direct authors currently write. Like any system, incentives will guide action, and if a long story is made more lucrative as a series of short stories, authors will conform.
3. Others will follow
Amazon isn't the first to create a subscription for books, and won't be the last, especially as tech conglomerates must compete in every sphere to remain competitive. Both Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iBooks and Google's Play Store offer e-books to read. Both also have a larger stake in the tablet market than Amazon. Apple's tablet market share is 33%, while Samsung and Asus, which both run Google's Android operating system, combined have 27% share, and Amazon lags far behind at 2%.
Apple, which just paid $400 million to settle an e-book price fixing case, will need to repair its relationship with consumers around e-books. It's also an important business for the company, as last year Apple claimed it had 20% of the e-book market, though others usually give the company 10% market share. With the e-book industry estimated at $5.7 billion this year, keeping up with Amazon will be a priority for Apple with serious revenue implications.
Google has more wiggle room, with less market share. But, if it wants to offer the convenience of competitors, it might have to offer a similar solution.
Changing the story arc
Amazon is in clear control of the book industry and will leverage this control to achieve its long term goals, which will change the life of authors and publishers. Additionally, Kindle Unlimited puts another feature in Amazon's favor, and competitors will have to respond to remain relevant. Another subscription service will be another consistent source of revenue for Amazon.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early-in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Subject: SLO Meeting 9/2
Attachments: Student Services SLO meeting_9_2_2011.ppt
Hi all,
For those who were not able to attend the meeting on September 2nd, I wanted to share the Power Point that Chialin and I presented (it's attached). We did a similar presentation to the Classified Senate last Wednesday, and will be doing a brief presentation to PRAC tomorrow.
Also, I wanted to share that the group in attendance at the meeting came to consensus on a slight modification to Division-Wide SLO #4. I proposed that we add the words "self-initiative". The new version would be "Demonstrate self-advocacy/self-initiative" If everyone is ok with that change, we will make it permanent. My hope is that by adding self-initiative to the SLO, many more of us will be able to focus on measuring SLO #4 in the future.
I am in the process of finishing the minutes from the meeting and will try to send them out soon.
Thanks, Becky

Imagine Exhibitions Gallery will debut its newest feature, Da Vinci The Exhibition, at The Venetian Las Vegas. The experience will open on March 12, 2014 and will follow the Renaissance master, Leonardo Da Vinci. Developed by Aurea Exhibitions and produced by Imagine Exhibitions, Inc., Da Vinci The Exhibition is a hands-on examination of da Vinci's life, research and art. Featuring more than 65 fully built, life-size inventions, more than 20 fine art studies and dozens of stunning displays, guests will learn the complex beginnings and lifetime achievements of da Vinci through his discoveries in art, engineering, flight, hydraulics, music, light and more. "This comprehensive tribute to da Vinci's works is a seamless complement to The Venetian's Italian roots," said Tom Zaller, CEO and president of Imagine Exhibitions. "Da Vinci The Exhibition provides an unsurpassed opportunity for guests to experience the life and accomplishments of one of the greatest artists and scientists the world has ever known." Throughout the exhibition's themed galleries, visitors will discover the breadth and scope of da Vinci's incredibly advanced understanding of science, mathematics, nature, and the relationship between the three. The artist's intricate designs and extraordinary early concepts are spotlighted, including his design for the helicopter, tank, SCUBA, crane, clock, submarine and his plan for a modern city. Additionally, various multimedia experiences and documentary presentations throughout the space will provide a multitude of supplementary information on da Vinci's discoveries and creative process. Each invention featured within Da Vinci The Exhibition was handcrafted utilizing a modern translation of da Vinci's unique mirrored writing style in an ancient Florentine dialect. Trained artisans used these translations to construct full-scale models and bring the master's two-dimensional plans to life. In addition to da Vinci's role as an inventor, the exhibition investigates a collection of da Vinci's most renowned paintings, including some controversial works traditionally attributed to him, but not yet authenticated. Guests will have the opportunity to thoroughly study the artistic mastery behind such works as "Mona Lisa," "The Last Supper," "Portrait of a Young Man," "Virgin of the Rocks," "St. John the Baptist" and more. Throughout his lifelong devotion to the sciences and fascination with nature, da Vinci also extensively explored the world of anatomy. Da Vinci The Exhibition's in-depth and enlightening explanations of his famous studies on subjects such as the golden ratio and "Vitruvian Man" are complemented by enlarged examples of the artist's sketches and notes made during his controversial research on the human body. "We are thrilled to welcome Da Vinci The Exhibition to The Venetian's unrivaled repertoire of entertainment offerings," said John Caparella, president and COO of The Venetian, The Palazzo® and Sands Expo. "Imagine Exhibitions Gallery has played a key role in the city's flourishing art scene, and this installation will create a truly enriching experience for our guests." Imagine Exhibitions Gallery is currently home to 50 Greatest Photographs of National Geographic, which will conclude its limited engagement on March 2nd. At 6,800 square feet, the gallery is an ideal venue for hosting private events, dinners and cocktail receptions in a unique and compelling environment for up to 350 guests. Da Vinci The Exhibition will be open for a limited engagement beginning Wednesday, March 12. Tickets are available for purchase at The Venetian box office. Prices are as follows: adult ($27.50), senior/military/Nevada residents/students ($22.50) – must show relevant ID, and children 12 and under are free with one paying adult, with additional children being $20.50. Da Vinci The Exhibition's operating hours will be Sunday through Thursday 9:30 a.m. – 7 p.m., last ticket sold at 6 p.m.; and Friday and Saturday 9:30 a.m. – 9 p.m., last ticket sold at 8 p.m.

I am a developer in need of doing some temporal unit testing on my local XP box. I am local admin but there is a group policy enforced centrally that prohibits changing local time (a severe case of managment treating in-house devs same as every other user in the company).
I wonder if there is a way to bypass the group policy using my admin privileges and get the job done.
