Gadsden State Cherokee Has New Faces and Services
Luanne Hayes, director of economic development at Gadsden State Cherokee, has added a new title along with additional responsibilities to her position.
She has been named "campus director" replacing recently retired Dr. Martha Lavender. While Hayes is new in this role, she is certainly not a newcomer or stranger to Gadsden State Cherokee or Cherokee County. She currently serves as the director of the Cherokee Country Industrial Development Authority, chairman of the Centre-Piedmont-Cherokee Regional Airport Authority, secretary of the Cherokee County Chamber of Commerce and president of the Centre Rotary Club.
As campus director of Gadsden State Cherokee she will focus on community and economic development initiatives for Cherokee County. She will also be responsible for providing strategic and administrative leadership for the campus including student services, instructional programs and support services. "I am excited about the new duties and responsibilities. I am extremely interested in educating our youth and providing leadership opportunities," Hayes said. Hayes is a Choices presenter and speaks regularly to community schools concerning leadership issues. She is credited for establishing Youth Leadership Cherokee; a course designed for selected high school juniors in Cherokee County who exhibit leadership qualities.
The support staff Gadsden State Cherokee under Hayes direction includes: Chad Steed, coordinator of academic and student support services; Johna Lindsey, community education specialist; Linda Abernathy, administrative assistant; and Linda Foster, financial aid. Hayes reports to Dr. Valerie Richardson, vice president. During this semester, a full-service financial aid office was established to better serve the students attending the Cherokee Center.
Economics Instructor Published
Dr. James Yohe, economics instructor at Gadsden State, recently published an article in The Economics of Peace and Security Journal (EPSJ). The EPSJ, launched in 2006 with twelve Nobel Prize winners as trustees, is an electronic publication produced by Economists for Peace and Security. Yohe was invited by one of the co-authors, William Anderson, to collaboratively contribute to their article War and the Austrian School: Modern Austrian Economists Take on Aggressive Wars. The article is the third in a trilogy and Yohe wrote a section titled Murray Rothbard on "just war" Theory. Just war theory refers to the justification of how and why wars are fought. Rothbard, an Austro-libertarian and dean of the Austrian school of economics during the last quarter of the twentieth century, opposed the use of first force.
Yohe was a student of Rothbard's while attending the University of Nevada-Las Vegas to obtain his Bachelor of Arts. He continued his education at Auburn University, receiving his master's and doctorate in Economics. This is Yohe's second publication in his five years of employment at Gadsden State.
Instructor Receives Achievement Award from AEA
The Alabama Education Association (AEA) awarded Tammy Potter Morgan of Gadsden State the Outstanding Postsecondary Achievement Award at their divisional conference held recently. Morgan has been a mathematics instructor at Gadsden State for 16 years. She has been elected to serve as secretary/treasurer for the AEA Postsecondary Division three times, and has served as secretary of the Gadsden State Community College Education Association for over eleven years. Morgan has also represented AEA as a delegate to the National Education Association Conference.
This recent award recognizes Morgan's work for fostering a relationship between higher education and the community. Morgan is responsible for bringing area high school students on campus for the Summer Environmental Institute to study environmental issues for college credit. She encourages students to invest in the community through the Service Learning Program, which gives them an opportunity to volunteer to help K-12 students with math.
Morgan's involvement at Gadsden State goes far beyond the classroom. She promotes the Math Tournament, frequently judges the Science Fair, and has been faculty advisor for the Science, Math and Engineering Club for many years. She is a member of both the National Council of Higher Education and Auburn University's Society of Women in Sciences and Mathematics. Earlier this year, Morgan received the Outstanding Instructor Award from the Gadsden State Alumni Association, recognizing her efforts to go the extra mile for her students, and because of her involvement in campus and community activities.

Could your medicine be fake?
Misty Vo is a pharmacist at Banner Desert Medical Center. in Mesa
Question: I take medicine to control my cholesterol levels. I was happy with the results until lately, when my cholesterol levels have gone back up. What could be the problem?
Answer: First, make sure that you haven't changed your diet, decreased your exercise, or gained weight. If none of those have occurred, it might be the medicine you are taking. Have the tablets changed in appearance? Did you find another supplier, such as buying your medications over the internet or in Mexico? It is possible you have obtained a counterfeit product.
The FDA has published a number of warnings about counterfeit prescription products entering the U.S. drug supply. Last year, thousands of bottles of counterfeit Lipitor were embargoed at the San Francisco Airport as they entered the country. When investigated, the tablets contained nothing more than yellow road paint and talc!
Just recently it was discovered that products being marketed as Ambien, Xanax, Lexapro, and Ativan contained none of the labeled ingredients, and were found to contain haloperidol, a strong anti-psychotic medication.
It is estimated that in China, as much as 50% of the medications are fake. In India 20 percent may be counterfeit or adulterated!
The criminal community has discovered that huge sums of money can be made by selling counterfeit, adulterated, or fake prescription medicines. Be very careful that you buy your medications from a reputable and known supplier. Do not trust internet dealers, or drugs bought outside of the U.S. Even websites that look safe may be only fake storefronts for drug counterfeiters.
It is my advice that you share honestly with your pharmacist and physician the sources of your medications. It is important that as treatment decisions are made, the potential of counterfeit medications is considered. In the case of your health, if is sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Caron Butler Not Too Hamstrung To Get Down
Having a tight hammy, and thus leaving last Friday's Magic game at half, wasn't going to stop Caron Butler from donning a secret service outfit, diamond encrusted wrist bling, and celebrating his 29th birthday at one of his favorite spots, the Park at 14th.
From Wizards Outlet:
He said that he was feeling pretty good the last week after sitting out three games the previous week, but when he made a move to the basket against Orlando, the hamstring clinched up. He's been getting treatment ever since then and it has yet to improve. Here's to hoping it's nothing worse than just the tightness it has been classified as.
Butler is scheduled to have an MRI on his bothersome hamstring today, so his status for even traveling to Utah this afternoon for the upcoming four game road trip is seemingly up in the air.
Coach Ed Tapscott has said that there are no plans to hold Butler out of the final 16 games. But who really knows? Just like we can't be sure if Brendan Haywood will see the court, even though he's evidently been medically cleared to practice.
Either way, Wizards fans should not care. More time for the Wiz kids, makes those development focused tankers happy. The possibility of seeing a full team on the court, teasing us until whenever the next disappointment may be, can't really be argued against either.
Uhh…..go team go.
Antawn Jamison says (via Wizards Insider):
After the game, I asked Antawn Jamison whether he expected to see Gilbert Arenas before the regular season ends. My gut tells me that he's not coming back but, as we all know when it comes to Arenas, I could certainly be wrong. The guy marches to the beat of his own drummer.
Anyway, Jamison's thoughts: "That's something that is way off in left field. I'm just concentrating on who has been practicing and been playing and who can play. It would be nice to see him and Brendan (Haywood) before the season's over. It wouldn't surprise me if it does. Actually, it would surprise me a little bit but, the most important thing for me is to see the guy (Arenas) healthy next year."

Advanced Solar Panels Coming to Market
By Kevin Bullis on September 17, 2009
A promising type of solar-power technology has moved a step closer to mass production. Nanosolar, based in San Jose, CA, has opened an automated facility for manufacturing its solar panels, which are made by printing a semiconductor material called CIGS on aluminum foil. The manufacturing facility is located in Germany, where government incentives have created a large market for solar panels. Nanosolar has the potential to make 640 megawatts' worth of solar panels there every year.
Solar cells made of the CIGS semiconductor, which is composed of copper, indium, gallium, and selenium, have long been considered a potential challenger to conventional solar cells made of silicon. At least in the lab, CIGS cells have reached efficiencies comparable to silicon-based solar cells. And in theory, they could be made using inexpensive printing processes, leading to much less expensive solar power. But developing manufacturing processes that maintain the high efficiencies has proven difficult.

Muscle Shoals ★★★
(Comcast Movie Collections: Just In) The documentary takes its name from the small northern Alabama town with not one but two legendary recording studios. The focus is on music producer Rick Hall and the legendary crew of backup musicians known as the Swampers. The film can be annoyingly slick and overproduced. Oh well. The music and the musicians are what matter, and they're often magnificent. (PG; runs through Nov. 25)
Fright Night ★★★
(Comcast Free Movies) Smart, funny comedy of horrors that revamps the Dracula legend for the teen market. (R; runs through Oct. 31)
Dangerous Minds ★★½
(Showtime on Comcast) A spunky turn by Michelle Pfeiffer as an inner-city teacher, and involving performances by the young actors playing her students. They're undermined, though, by a script that keeps imposing white cultural imperatives on mostly black and Hispanic kids. (R; runs through Oct. 31)

I #LiveWithFire
If this isn't living with fire, I don't know what is!
Reebok has done it again. I've told you how I am a weeeee (ok – opposite of weeee ) bit in love with my Reebok clothes & shoes.
- I've talked about my beloved Reebok Sky DMX. <— MUST READ!!
- I've talked about killin' it at Reebok Crossfit One in NYC with Christina!
- I've talked about Getting After It!
My gosh – I think the majority of my workout wardrobe is Reebok.
Especially my shoes. Hoard Reebok shoes much? I do!
(I have a firm disclosure policy. I received no payment, but Reebok sent me the above clothes & shoes at no cost. Every single opinion in this post is all my own.)
The shoes pictured above are Reebok's Zig Carbon shoes. I die.
- First of all – black and pink? Yes. Please.
- I love carbon fiber on cars. How do I know this? My man is a car, tool, true man's man and I've known about carbon fiber on cars due to its light weight and speed assistance for ages. Did I know it could be put on shoes? Nope. But if it can be done, Reebok will do it! It makes the shoes perfect for speed, flexibility, and they weight almost nothing, but as Reebok says – stand up to anything. The carbon fiber plate in the shoe gives midfoot support which is very important during high impact movements. Similar to many of the other Reebok shoes I have, they're very flexible and have great shock absorption. The tops are mesh and breathe really well – no stink feet here!
The pants are the MOST ASKED ABOUT pants I've ever worn. They're the Reebok PWR Leggings.
- One of the things I look for in workout clothes is how fun or bright or motivating they are. Let's face it – if you have more fun or brighter clothes or shoes on, you're going to smash that workout just a little bit harder, and that little bit just might be the difference maker. Make your clothes and shoes work for you. More motivation never hurt anyone!
- These leggings are part of the Reebok ONE collection. They say things like "MAKE EVERY REP COUNT," "BETTER YOUR BEST," "1 MORE," "STRENGTH." C'mon now. Can't get better than that!
- As a nurse, I am LOVING that they have an antimicrobial component. HECK YEAH!
- We all know some spandex pants are made funky. These cause no riding up, no muffin top creation, and no cutting off circulation. Thank the spandex Gods. They're comfortable and they flatter your body.
The blue top is a the Reebok Yoga Long Bra Top.
- Going to be totally honest here – didn't like it the first time I put it on. But, then I took out the boob padding, got my sweat on, and realized how awesome the shirt really is.
- It has the PlayDry technology so it keeps the top from getting soaked through even if you sweat like a beast like me! It's a racerback – my personal fav! And super super soft.
- There's a bra inside the top which I'm not a huge fan of normally, but it's not too loose, not too tight. I always wear a regular sports bra, even if there's an "internal bra" in a shirt. Sometimes that makes it too uncomfortably tight. This one didn't. Not too loose, not too tight. If you did use it without a regular sports bra, I'm not sure if it'd be supportive enough for the girls with jumping or sprinting, if you know what I mean!
For quite some time, Reebok has been a go-to for me in regards to my Fit Gear.
I've done photoshoots … professional video … all in reebok clothes.
I do workouts on the regular in Reebok clothes…
Handstands in Reebok clothes…
You name, I do it in Reebok clothes and shoes. And I love it.
Reebok clothes and shoes are functional and fun – my MO!
Case and point here …
Want to see more of me? Clickkk click below!

VAN NUYS, CA — Pure Play Media and Immoral Productions will release Handjob Winner 18, the latest installment of the top-selling series dedicated to the ultimate grand prize finish, on July 3. This volume matches three models at once to team up on four lucky porn lovers — regular, average Joe guys — for the handjobs of a lifetime. These fans have always dreamed of what it'd feel like to have a real-life porn star hold their cocks hard and tight and now's their chance to live out the ultimate fantasy.
Handjob Winner 18 stars eight steamy starlets known for their tight grips and nasty tendencies and matches them with their biggest fans. Watch Brittany Amber, Jennifer White, and Layla Price do their best to stroke and satisfy a big, burly dude while Courtney Cummz, Nikki Sexx, and Rilynn Rae gratify another guy who whines for some deep throat action. (And they oblige.) Lia Lor and Jennifer White luck out with a go-go dancer from Vegas and decide to kick it up a notch and swallow him whole before he can even start to enjoy his handie.
"This volume had a fun gauntlet of fans, from a polite gent who the girls loved to a guy who whined so much I wanted to send him home," Immoral Productions' Dan "Porno Dan" Leal said. "We never know what we're going to get dealing with real guys, but then again that is part of the reason this series is so popular."
"It's true — Immoral Productions' fan series are some of the best-selling titles in the catalog because they feature true-life porn scenes with regular guys," Pure Play Media Sales Representative Mike L. said. "Handjob Winner 18 makes it easy to imagine the ultimate porn star fantasy coming to life, which almost guarantees it'll fly off shelves. It streets Thursday, so place your orders now!"
Immoral Productions is available exclusively in the United States through Pure Play Media.
For wholesale information, contact Mike L. at email@example.com or 800-929-3267 (x2224).

Joe Henderson: Black Narcissus
Black Narcissus
Joe Henderson (tenor sax)
Big Band (Verve 533 451-2)
Joe Henderson (tenor sax), Chick Corea (piano), Christian McBride (bass), Al Foster (drums),
Dick Oatts, Steve Wilson (alto saxes), Tim Ries, Charlie Pillow (tenor saxes), Gary Smulyan (baritone sax), John Faddis, Byron Stripling, Tony Kadleck, Michael Philip Mossman, Ray Vega (trumpets), Conrad Herwig, Keith O'Quinn, Larry Farrell, Dave Taylor (trombones).
Composed by Joe Henderson. Arranged by Bob Belden.
Recorded: New York, June 26, 1996
Rating: 95/100 (learn more)
This is clearly one of the most beautiful slow jazz waltzes ever written. Henderson first recorded it with a small ensemble, and its delicacy might have suffered from a big band treatment. But thanks to arranger Bob Belden and to the beautiful piano solo in the first part of the tune, Henderson's entrance comes as a gem in the middle of the track. Corea's work behind him remains incredibly subtle, the horn sections are used to optimal efficiency – be it as discreet color sheets or as source of tension and release – and the rhythm section is exquisitely musical through and through.

You'll notice that I often talk about alternatives to driving everywhere in Los Angeles. Sometimes I talk about bikes (see for example the last post) as part of a range of options. Well, in December last year a student at USC doing a project in journalism (Lauren Lee – she's at the Annenberg School) did a short report on bikes and the city for her project. (See also some of my posts about this issue, such as here, here, here, and several posts in the list at the bottom of this one). In her research, Lauren found this blog, gave me a call, and I agreed to make a few comments to camera for her as part of her larger report on some of the changes that are happening here in Los Angeles. (She also interviews Adam and Josef Bray-Ali, owners of the Flying Pigeon LA bike shop (hey, they have a blog)– a bike that might interest you.)
I should preface it with some remarks of my own. It is a nice report, but she edited out all the things I said that I think get at a central and key point. (To be fair, she was trying to make a two minute report, and I was babbling on enough for a Spike Lee four-part documentary…) I'm not advocating that everyone cycle everywhere they need to get to. Instead, I'm trying to get across the idea that cycling works really well in combination with the public transport system that already exists. One of the reasons people give most often for not using public transport is that the bus or subway stop is not quite close enough to where they want to get to, and/or close enough to their home. Leaving aside the cases where that sometimes this means "more than one block" or "not right next to my garage", I'm trying to get across the idea that the extra mile (or so) gap can be plugged by cycling. You can take bikes onto all MTA buses (they have bike racks), and onto the subway and light rail systems (away from some peak hours), and it is really really easy. (You can also, as I do, get a folding bike you can take onto the bus or fold on the subway during peak hours and thus be completely independent of any restrictions. Get one? The good folk at FoldingBikesWest can help you out – hey, they have a store close to LA now!). (Don't hold your breath while waiting for the fulfillment of my momentary hope a while back that Los Angeles would leap forward after the success of Velib system in Paris and introduce it here.)
You don't have to be a die hard and cycle clear across the city. Lauren, in the report, inadvertently makes my case far more dramatic than it really is by implying that I cycle to USC twelve miles each way every day. I don't. Sometimes I do, for a change of scenery (ride with me on one such journey in this post and this one), but on most days I cycle to the bus stop or the subway. This is a mode I think can work for a lot of people. Most people would consider devotion to 12 miles or so a day to be more in the realm of cycling enthusiast, and they don't think of themselves as such. Fair enough. I don't think of myself as one either. In fact, the other day someone mentioned that cycling was a hobby of mine, to which I responded "Do you consider driving your hobby?". Although they drive at least 10 or 20 journeys in their car for every one I do, they said no. It is just a way to get around. Exactly. Same here. I just walk and bike for a lot of my getting around. In short, I'd like it if cycling (and the wide variety of people who cycle) in this city was not presented as some sort of extremist activity (done by extremists or enthusiasts). Rather, it's just a way (a really nice way) of getting around, and as a by-product, deeply engaging with the city in a way you can never do with a car.
Here's Lauren's nice video:

Jump in on Low Contractor Remodeling Fees
From Margaret Everton on February 01, 2011 in Tools and Tips
If you're looking to remodel, take heart: it's a buyer's market. Now is the perfect time to reconsider those past renovating ideas and get in while the market is great. And get in soon. While the demand for remodeling increases, the current amazing contractor discounts will start to disappear. Enjoy them while they're here for now. What kind of fee cuts are you likely to score? A recent Angie's List survey showed that contractors are cutting prices as much as 20% to stay working and competitive. During the economic downturn, Paul Zuch of Dallas-based remodeling firm Capital Improvements, lowered profit margins altogether to stay afloat. Many people think that because the housing market is so bad, renovations should be put off along with the dreams of selling your house. If youre one of these thinkers, switch your mindset and realize the potential of getting a great home-value-increasing renovation accomplished now. Many contractors like the certified remodelers in our own database here can help you dust off that tucked-away renovation idea. Remodeling expenditures are forecasted to rise between 2010 and 2015 at an annual average of 3.5%, according to a recent report from Harvards Joint Center. So, while your project may be wonderfully more modest than you first imagined, you can get a great bang for your buck and upgrade your home now. You can make those essential renovations that increase the quality of your life while living in itat a price you can afford. Photo Credit: OlympicNF via Flickr CC

Review: Jolt Cola Cherry Bomb
Posted: Dec 16, 2004 at 12:00 AM (Last Updated: Nov 19, 2008 at 9:34 AM)Jolt Cola Cherry Bomb is one of the better tasting cherry flavored colas we've tried in recent memory. The reason we feel this way is actually quite simple: the cherry flavor is mild and not overbearing. This aspect of the product really lured us into Cherry Bomb. In addition, we appreciate the distinct looking packaging, but we must admit that the popping sound that the product emits when opened is a bit much (it had people in the room nearly jumping from their seats). Overall, we really like this product.

Historic Mediterranean HomeUnited StatesFloridaTampa
About this listing
Get away to Old Seminole Heights in comfort. I've got a lovely historic home with your name on it.
Space where guests can cook their own meals
Towels, bed sheets, soap, and toilet paper
The Space
The home was build in 1926 and has original hardwood floors throughout. Both beds are queens; one a memory foam mattress. The kitchen is fully equipped (gas stove, dishwasher, fridge, spices, grocery basics). I also have a washer and dryer in the garage.
Guest Access
Guests will have access to a fully stocked and equipped kitchen. I live in the house when it's not rented out so everything you'd need is in the house. You'll still need to stop by the grocery store to pick up specific things.
Interaction with Guests
I won't be staying at the house while you're there; I just moved temporarily to Kitty Hawk, NC.
I'm always available to answer any questions you might have or give you some guidance on how to best explore the neighborhood.
The Neighborhood
I leave a guide of my neighborhood and some menus from my favorite local places.
You'll be in walking distance of several award winning restaurants, bars, parks, and local shops. Check out the maps section of this page; I've tagged all my favorite places.
Getting Around
The bus stop that takes you downtown is less than a block away - although Tampa isn't public transportation friendly.
This is a very central Tampa location, really in the middle of everything so you'll never have a long ride to get to where you're going. Busch Gardens and a few shopping malls are about 10 minutes away.
Other Things to Note
I do not have a cleaning fee so please take extra care to leave the place in decent condition.
Sorry, but no animals allowed or smoking in the house. Smoking outside is perfectly fine with me.
Please do not do any drugs inside or outside of the house (including pot).
While I try to accommodate all check in and out times I can, the listing is extremely popular and conflicts can easily arise. In these cases, I ask that everyone sticks to standard check in and out times (11AM and 3PM respectively). If I can accommodate a special request, I will always try.
I do not own a TV but wireless internet is available for free if you'd like to watch something on your device.
Please do not move the furniture without informing me first.
I do not charge a cleaning fee so please leave the home how you left it. Please strip the beds and place all used sheets and towels together in a pile.

Your Host
Hi! I'm Danielle,
I currently live in the Outer Banks of North Carolina but I love my historic, friendly, unconventional neighborhood; Old Seminole Heights in Tampa. I love our bars, restaurants, and local shops. I know all the best places, just ask me. I'll be happy to steer you in the direction of some of Tampa's best dining spots.

Someone recently said to me "if this is the worst winter Steamboat has ever seen, then I'm never leaving." I admired this statement and it definitely rings true. Even Steamboat's worst snow year is still better than a lot of places. We are now in spring mode and the focus starts to shift. My husband's favorite thing to do is what he calls a to as a two-fer… biking in the morning and spring skiing in the afternoon. But even the spring skiing is becoming short-lived. It's more of an obstacle course, avoiding the mud puddles, avoiding the brown spots…where did I put my rock board? But as long as there is sunshine, I am a happy camper.
In real estate news, Land Title reported for February: "February was a good month, with Year to Date Gross Volume above last February by 3.19% at $65.1M. Transaction numbers were about the same as January…at 69. With dollar volume up over last year and transactions down…there's stabilizing momentum in the Average transactions price. There was also growth in the Deed of Trusts! February had 168 which was the highest I've seen in 9 months!"
This is positive news for Steamboat. In March, 2 noteworthy transactions were an Edgemont that closed at $616/square foot and condo at One Steamboat Place which sold for $834/square foot. Both of these transactions are evidence that we are back on the rise. With dwindling new inventory in Steamboat, we are confident that Bear Lodge residences will go quickly.
As we say good bye to the 2011-2012 season it is definitely bittersweet. We had our very best day in decades (Presidents Day) this year. Proof that there will always be beauty among the hard times.

LAS VEGAS (AP) - Juan Manuel Marquez knocked Manny Pacquiao out cold with a vicious right hand at the end of the sixth round Saturday night, putting a ferocious end to the fourth fight between the two boxers.
The referee waved the fight to an end as Marquez celebrated and the sold-out crowd at the MGM erupted. Pacquiao was down for about two minutes before his handlers managed to get him up.

Miguel Angel Lemus
Miguel Angel heads up Lemmus, a national real estate marketing company
Miguel Angel Lemus recently returned to Puerto Vallarta after an absence from the local real estate scene of more than five years. And he's returned in a big way, with two major real estate marketing projects (Villa Magna and the Peninsula) and others on the drawing board. Prior to this he was in Cancun handling the marketing for a number of major real estate developments. And although he is also involved with projects in Guadalajara and Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta is where his heart is. It was here, nearly 20 years ago, that he began his real estate career and helped coin the terms "mega-development" and "master broker."
It all began with the Guadalajara-based company Grupo Situr in the mid '80s, when they decided to take their small tourism portfolio and expand nationwide. They started in Marina Vallarta, their first mega-development, and Miguel Angel was right there selling large land parcels to major developers, as well as the homes, condos and marina slips that Grupo Situr was offering. Grupo Situr grew quickly, perhaps now with hindsight too quickly. And Miguel Angel led the charge for Situr sales as they opened up Marina Vallarta-style developments in Ixtapa, Mazatlan, Costalegre, Baja and Cancun. At their peak, no Mexican developer came close to them, with their stock trading on Wall Street and Miguel Angel wining and dining pension fund managers and other international investors anxious to get involved with Mexico's burgeoning real estate tourism market.
The party ended in the mid to late '90s for Grupo Situr and also for Miguel, who decided to take some time off before reappearing in Cancun to help market developments in Mexico's largest and fastest growing tourism sector.
Today, Miguel Angel heads up Lemmus, a national real estate marketing company with projects situated throughout the country. His gregarious personality and his ability to bring people together to make the deal happen make him Mexico's version of Donald Trump. He's softened somewhat from his fast-paced, three cellular phones going at once days, but he's still the guy who knows how to put the deal together. And there are plenty of deals to be made in Vallarta's booming real estate market.

- ITV Report
Weather warnings remain following floods
Weather warnings remain in place today following heavy rain that devastated many areas in the South West over the weekend. Properties in Dorset were flooded and many roads impassable after several inches of rain fell overnight into Saturday causing rivers to swell.
The clean up operation has long since started, but as the heavy showers continue to batter the region, a yellow rain alert from the Met Office has been maintained until midnight. Scattered heavy showers are expected to continue to develop throughout this afternoon and evening.
The Met Office has warned that up to 30mm of rain could fall within a few hours in some places. With rivers and streams already swollen and fields wet it could cause localised problems.
Burton Bradstock near Bridport in Dorset was badly hit. Some motorists had to be rescued from their cars as river levels on the Brit and Asker breached the banks.
Homes were not the only ones that fell victim to the heavy rain. The Festival of British Eventing, due to take place at Gatcombe Park in Gloucestershire later this week, has been cancelled because of the wet weather.
Around 50,000 people were expected at the event at the home of the Princess Royal, as well as some of the world's top riders. It's hoped the British Championships can be rescheduled for later in the year.

The problem is "Can you find a value $n$ such that $n^2+1$ is divisible by $3$?"
My analysis: For the divisibility of $n^2+1$ by $3$, we need $n^2 \equiv 2 \pmod{3}$ in other words we need to show that $2$ is quadratic residue of $3$, but $2 \equiv -1 \pmod 3$ which imply that $2$ is quadratic non residue of $3$.Hence, no such $n$ is possible.
I recently learned about quadratic residue and this is probably my first application, so please check if I committed an error?

Last week's Snowmageddom has taught Georgians the wisdom of staying home and off the roads unless it is necessary to drive. Unfortunately, some people will have to travel these roads despite the bad weather.
Having learned lessons the hard way people and politicians are preparing for the second ice storm in as many weeks. This time everyone is taking heed and paying particular attention to the possibility of excessive ice. Schools are going to be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday while many businesses are evaluating whether to open. State officials are asking truckers to avoid metro Atlanta roads until the ice storm has passed.
The following tips are for those who may find themselves facing the challenges of driving on icy roads with little or no experience. In almost every instant, whether accelerating or braking, remember that less is more.
1. Slow down when driving in snowy and icy conditions. You can never be too careful when driving on an icy road. The biggest mistake drivers make is driving too fast and not taking icy road conditions seriously enough.
2. Give your vehicle plenty of room. Keep two or three car lengths between you and the vehicle in front of you. A small mistake can turn into a big one if you are following too closely.
3. Be gentle when applying your brakes. Consider that stopping on a slippery road will take more time than driving on a dry road. Avoid slamming on your brakes if possible.
4. Do not over steer if your vehicle starts to slip or slide. Overcorrecting the steering wheel too vigorously will compound your driving problems, possibly causing your vehicle to spin out of control.
5. Use lower gears when going up or down an icy road with an incline. Second gear can be your best friend when driving under these conditions.
6. Use second gear when driving up a hill. Make sure the vehicle ahead of you has made it to the top before you begin. If you get stuck half way up the hill, back up and begin again. Use enough engine power to get your vehicle up the hill without spinning your vehicle's wheels. Do not intentionally slow down as you are going uphill. You will need continual momentum to be successful.
7. Do not gun the accelerator if your wheels are spinning. Gunning will cause your vehicle to become even more entrenched. If your vehicle is stuck, use kitty litter, plywood, old cardboard and place under the rear wheels to help get your vehicle going in the right direction.
Few things are as scary as being in a vehicle that spins or slips and slides during an ice and snowstorm. Being prepared is your best defense. Remember to clean your windows before you start, buckle up and stay calm.

Linus vs Tridge: asbestos suits needed to protect innovation
By jmcp-Oracle on Apr 15, 2005
El Reg has found a posting from Linus on the BitKeeper vs Andrew Tridgell bunfight. It makes for interesting reading. I was particularly interested to read this paragraph:
...But that's not what Tridge did. He didn't write a "better SCM than BK". He didn't even try - it wasn't his oal. He just wanted to see what the protocols and data was, without actually producing any replacement for the (inevitable) problems he caused and knew about...I find these interesting for two reasons. Firstly, Tridge seems to have been engaging in some research. This is something which most other people would find quite laudable. Research is also what drives innovation --- you can't improve upon something unless you know at least a bit (or a lot!) about that something. Secondly, Linus' email leaves a lot open to interpretation. On my first reading of that paragraph I was left with the impression that Linus is accusing Tridge of creating data/metadata problems (what other people might call data corruption) within the linux kernel repository. Clearly a bad thing to be implying. I had to read the paragraph a few times before it occurred to me that Linus was probably only talking about Larry pulling the license. Then later in the email is this tidbit:
I'll write my own kernel source tracking tool because I can't use the best any more.If we take Donald E. Knuth as any sort of reliable guideline on diversions like this, then there won't be any more innovations coming from Linus involving the linux kernel, because he'll be spending all his time and effort designing, debugging and generally re-inventing the source code management wheel. And finally, this bunfight has made it into the mainstream media. I like Sam Varghese's final paragraph:
All that this incident has done is to bring to the fore the fact that free software and open source software are definitely not one and the same thing and that compromises made at one point could well come back to bite those who make them.

Today May 7, 2014 Ubisoft revealed a new trailer for their upcoming puzzle-adventure game Valiant Hearts: The Great War. Set during World War I and developed by Ubisoft Montpellier, Valiant Hearts: The Great War uses the UbiArt Framework which results in a gorgeous animated comic-book style. Don't take our word for it: Check out the trailer for yourself to see the "wide-ranging color palette – from the dark trenches to green forests and snowy fields."
Valiant Hearts: The Great War is:
"The story of crossed destinies and broken love in a world torn apart by war. The emotional journey follows four characters inextricably drawn together over the course of the game as they brave the battles and difficulties of the Great War alongside their faithful canine companion. Friendship, love, sacrifice and tragedy befall each as they help each other to retain their humanity against the horrors brought on by war."
Valiant Hearts: The Great War looks captivating, and we're eager to fall in love (and break our hearts) with the characters when they make an ultimate sacrifice.
Valiant Hearts: The Great War will be be a digital title available on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC for $14.99 on June 25th, 2014.

I definitely use the clean up song. I also have a labeled spot for supplies to help direct the students where the manipulatives go. My files are overloaded - have been thinking of moving everything to notebooks - seems way easier to find things! Thanks for the tips! :)
I love the music idea! Thanks for the great reminders, I'm already starting to think about changes for next year. I've done the labeling and still answer questions all year about where things go! My favorite is that I have a bright yellow bin labeled "Finished Work" and I was still being asked in June, "Um...I'm done with this. Where does it go?" My favorite technique is different sounds for different reasons. I use a clicker (got it at the pet supply store) and double click to signal time to line up. I use chimes for clean up. I use a triangle to call them to morning meeting. This way I don't have to try and speak over the noise of the classroom but the point gets across quickly. I am going to integrate songs, too, so that once I ring the chimes I'll start a song and students should be cleaned up by the end of it. Thanks!

The 2014 College World Series live stream and TV coverage gets underway today with two games on the schedule including UC-Irvine taking on Texas. UCI and Texas will get the 2014 CWS rolling as the first pitch is scheduled for 3 p.m. ET. The second game of the day will feature the NCAA live streaming action between the 50 win Louisville Cardinals taking on Vanderbilt at 8 p.m. ET
According to a BCSN report on June 13 the Longhorns are no strangers to the CWS. Texas will be making its 35th appearance in the classic, which is the most of any team in NCAA history. The Longhorns also have the most wins in CWS play with 82. Nevertheless, all that means nothing to the 2014 squad as they aren't focused or satisfied by just making it to Omaha - they want to but take home a national championship title!
Texas definitely has the arms to bring home a NCAA Championship. The Longhorns pitching staff has a team ERA of 2.32 which puts them sixth overall in the nation. Add that to hot hitting led by Madison Carter, Mark Payton and C.J Hinojosa and Texas will be a tough team to defeat in the tournament.
All that being said, let's not count out UC Irvine. The Anteaters earned their way to Omaha by beating some great teams. First UCI defeated No. 1 national seed Oregon State in the regionals, and then they took out the Big 12 champion Oklahoma State in the Stillwater Super Regional.
Las Vegas odds makers have Texas as the favorite to win today's game at -145. Texas is also the favorite to win the best two-out-of-three series at -170. Fans can catch every pitch of the action on ESPN2 nationally and streaming live online through your PC, tablets or smart phones via Watch ESPN.

PORTLAND, ME – NBA D-League foes on the court, the Maine Red Claws and Austin Toros today announced that they have joined forces to establish a petition drive to encourage the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame to enshrine Boston Celtics great Dennis Johnson. The Red Claws, presented by Quirk Chevrolet, are the minor league affiliate of the Boston Celtics. At the time of his death in 2007, Johnson was the Toros' head coach.
The Red Claws and Toros will face off tonight at 7:30 PM and again on February 10, both at the Portland Exposition Building. Both teams will circulate petitions at all home games between those dates. Signatures will also be collected online at http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/DennisJohnson.
The teams will forward the signatures to the Hall of Fame in Springfield, MA before the finalists for the Class of 2010 are announced on Friday, February 12. The Enshrinement Ceremony is scheduled for August 13.
"There are few players who deserve to be a member of the 2010 Class of Basketball Hall of Fame more than Dennis Johnson," said Red Claws President and General Manager Jon Jennings, who coached and worked with Johnson for several years with the Celtics. "We are proud to join with the Austin Toros in this effort and hope teams and basketball fans around the country will join us in encouraging the Hall of Fame to finally bestow a much-deserved honor."
The petition drive has the blessing of the Johnson family. Johnson left behind his wife Donna and three children, daughter Denise and sons Daniel and Dwayne.
"Dennis gave his life to two things, family and basketball, and even though he isn't here today, I believe he would be touched and grateful to everyone who still want his memory and legacy remembered," Donna Johnson said. "Thank you everyone for the love and support."

Today, April 16, is the 100th anniversary of the birthday of best loved illustrator Garth Williams.
Generations of children picture their favorite fictional characters as drawn by Mr. Williams: that dapper mouse Stuart Little; the kindhearted spider Charlotte and her friend, Wilbur the pig; and bears, dogs, kittens, crickets, elves, fairies, children and grown-ups in books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, George Selden, Charlotte Zolotow, Else H. Minarik and many others. Mr. Williams also wrote the text for seven children's books, but it is primarily as an illustrator that his work is cherished.
He believed that books "given, or read, to children can have a profound influence." For that reason, he said, he used his illustrations to try to "awaken something of importance . . . humor, responsibility, respect for others, interest in the world at large." NYTimes, By MEL GUSSOW
Published: May 10, 1996
Give yourself a treat and enjoy sharing one of the many Garth Williams' illustrated books at your library!
And don't forget The Trumpet of the Swan, Emmett's Pig, The Friendly Book, Home for a Bunny, and The Rescuers!

Statistics: They Can't Be Serious
By Geertjan-Oracle on Apr 15, 2008
Click here to read the whole story. However, in today's Dutch Volkskrant (as reported here), commenting on the same set of statistics, the article is headlined "John McEnroe Was Usually Wrong":
The evidence here is clear. These reporters had exactly the same statistics. But they interpreted them in completely opposite directions. On top of that, one even wonders if they read the same statistics because in the Dutch report, the line judges were right in 61% of cases, while in the Guardian the line judges were wrong in 40% of them. But... that's the same thing!!! Yet... interpreted in such a way that completely different meanings are rendered. To the Guardian, the statistics support John McEnroe's objections; to the Volkskrant, the statistics undermine them.
If there's one thing that these statistics prove, it is that it pays to be multilingual and it pays to read more than one newspaper. Especially when it comes to statistics. Still, it would be nice to know whether John McEnroe was mostly right or mostly wrong. At the time, I thought he was mostly wrong, but only because I was 12 at the time and assumed that authority has special access to truth. Since then, I've learned that that's really a pretty bad assumption. How cool would it be if history were to prove that John McEnroe had been right all along? Even though he probably never thought so himself and merely enjoyed throwing tantrums on TV?

I think Back Drop Ware House probably has a back drop for most any bodies layout. It took me quite awhile going back and forth from several of the fantastic sceneries available to end up with the one I did. My layout required the rolling hills in the fore ground with some just right size trees up front for trackside effect and still the high rugged mountians in the back ground to give the effect of my lay out up in the mountians. Back Drop Warehouse had the one I needed.
is our Club Layout
In fact, I have had other issues with this layout that were far worse than hanging these backdrops. I believe that painting the ceiling joists solid flat black was the worst part of building my layout.
Like all other layouts, my layout is very unique. You see, I started with my layout that is 13' x 17' and like any other American male, I found that I needed more space. I built my layout in my John Deere room that is under one corner of our home. Our home is strictly a one level home and has no basement. But, it did have a rather large crawl space that had possibilities. So, for a little over 2 years, I dug the crawl space out, or as my wife, Louanna, says, I mined it out. In the Missouri Ozarks we have a lot of limestone and very little dirt. Yes, I dug out my crawl space and now have an additional 46' x 29' area for a nice addition to the present layout.
Before I go any farther, I need to let you know that I did consult with an area architect and also several general contractors on the process of converting this crawl space to a workable layout area. All of these folks were very informative and thought that I was a little crazy. I told everyone that I was acting like a 12 year old that was digging his way out of jail.

By her own account, Jeanne Gallagher is no germaphobe. The mom of three has always encouraged her girls to play hard outdoors in the dirt all summer and says she doesn't mind if they suffer from an occasional cold or virus. She knows that's helping to build her daughters' immune systems.
But back-to-school times bring the busy mother a serious case of dread.
"School is like a petri dish because the students interact within a closed-in space and the bacteria and viruses are able to grow on lots of unsuspecting hosts," says Gallahger, who works in television and film production. "Inevitably, they get sick."
Typically Gallagher's youngest, who is eight and about to start third grade, gets felled by a cold or strep within a week of the first school bell's ring and then passes it to her sisters, who are ages 10 and 13. Because she suffers from asthma, Gallagher's middle daughter is usually hardest hit. At the first sign of a sniffle, Gallagher says she ramps up doses of use of vitamin C, give her daughter orange juice, probiotics and supervises twice daily treatments with a nebulizer.
"Anything we can do to help strengthen her immune system," Gallagher says. "We've sort of learned how to prepare, so sometimes were able to prevent the cold from developing into full-blown asthma incident, but generally by the time her birthday rolls around in the third week of September, she's sick and we can't have a party."
The Gallaghers are far from alone. The start of the school year often triggers a rash of colds in many families, but not all that much can be done to prevent it, says Kevin F. Wilson, M.D., an ear, nose and throat physician at University of Utah Health Care and an assistant professor of surgery in the Division of Otolaryngology at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
"Once you get lots of kids around lots of other kids, they tend to pass things around," says Wilson. "It's not inevitable. I wouldn't worry too much, but use common sense and just try to have good hygiene habits and take care of yourself overall," he adds of keeping kids healthy as they head back to school.
Among the common ailments that pop up each fall: Allergies, ear infections and strep throat. Here are some things Wilson suggests parents should keep in mind:
Allergies spike in the fall due to exposure to pollens, including ragweed and sagebrush. Symptoms can include congestion, a runny nose and itchy or watery eyes. If a child is also experiencing wheezing or any chest tightness, they might be suffering from asthma and should see a physician for assessment, Wilson says. Both allergies and asthma can be treated with medications and with immunotherapy, depending on the severity of the illnesses. Wilson also recommends avoiding the things that trigger the problems. Treating allergies can also ward off other potential health problems, including ear infections, he says.
Ear infections differ from the swimmer's ear kids get during summer months. Infections typically caused by swelling in the tube which connect a child's ear to the back of his or her nose and are usually more communicable than other illnesses. Most ear infections are viral, so doctors now recommend skipping the use of antibiotics in favor of "symptomatic supportive care," including pain and fever reducers, Wilson says. Persistent infections may also be a sign that a child is suffering from allergies, so Wilson suggests talking with a physician if a child has frequent infections.
Strep throat is a bacteria species which is one of many that can cause a sore throat. The symptoms can also include aches, fever and painful swelling of the throat. While many people think that any painful sore throat is strep, most are caused by a virus infection and not strep bacteria. Treatments for a sore throat vary, but if a child tests positive for strep, treatment often includes antibiotics, Wilson says. If a child suffers from frequent bouts of the strep, "that's when we start talking about taking out their tonsils," he says.
