The humidity hit us as soon as we left the air-conditioned terminal at Ben Gurion airport; the hot sticky welcome reminding us that despite the palm trees and sunny skies, we weren't in Southern California anymore. We are here, in Eretz Yisrael for an incredible seven-day Special Needs Study Mission to explore some of Israel's innovative programs for adults with intellectual/developmental disabilities, sponsored by the LA Jewish Federation. Our flights had a mix of American and Israelis, with the Israeli kids running around in circles in the aisles in their "footy pajamas" and macho-looking Israeli guys wearing fuzzy socks with polka dots to be comfy during the 9 hour flight from New Jersey to Tel Aviv . Our first five-hour flight from LAX to Newark was over-crowded and late. Watching the movie, "The Exotic Marigold Hotel" was the only redeeming aspect of that trip.
I tried to speak my limited Hebrew to the Sherut (shuttle driver) and at first heard myself speaking Spanish before switching over to Hebrew. Despite my really bad accent, he persisted in asking me questions about where the hotel was, and I managed to spit out a sentence. It feels strange for me to be in Israel without the rest of the family, as my past three visits to Israel have focused so much on finding accessible routes and locations for our son Danny, who has physical and developmental disabilities. But thanks to Camp Ramah of California's Tikvah program, he will be happily enjoying the next few weeks in Ojai, California while I am away on this Mission, and my husband joins us early next week. We've got a nutsy schedule, visiting some 13 separate sites, plus a conference with local experts and parents on Monday.
But for now, we get to start off slowly, with a Shabbat service on the beach led by Rabbi Jackie Redner, the Rabbi in Residence and Chaplain for Vista Del Mar Child and Family Services, and then enjoy a group dinner tonight on the roof of the hotel. Tomorrow we have a morning discussion among the 32 participants, sharing our motivations for joining this mission, and our expectations for the week ahead. And then, we take off at the ungodly-hour of 7:15 am on Sunday (the first day of the work week in Israel) to drive up north, where we will visit Kibbutz Harduf, with its "community within a community" of 65 adults with developmental disabilities who live among the typical Kibbutz residents and participate in its social and cultural life, with various work assignments. We will also visit Kishorit, near Karmiel, a community of 140 members, staff and volunteers of adults with developmental disabilities.
Follow along with this on this blog and also through the LA Jewish Federation blog here.

if you were going for pure functionality you wouldn't be doing some of the things you're doing. Using the same fonts, textures, shapes and placement goes a long way in making things predictable, with the added benefit of "not looking like shit"
Just a question to everybody out there that has these streamlined clean UI's without any actionbars: Do you just toggle them off for these pictures or are you memorizing 100+ keybinds? I just find it hard to believe one can remember so many keybinds to have no actionbars at all out while playing.
What I meant was that I am not going to remove functionality to make it pretty. I use same font except for damage meter because the font I use for unitframes is very pixelated at small sizes. My placement of stuff are ideal for me or any other player that wants to perform at max level. That much I know.

Wow, thats just impossible in my world. Are you savant? J/K. Really pretty UI's though, I might borrow it for my Boomie/Warlock would it work as well as it does with your sp?
That's really beautiful Ariadne. Reminds me a bit of Real UI, just prettier. D:
The cast bar especially struck my eye, specifically the channeled effect. Which addon is that?
Most likely but you can get the effect you like with this as well
Trying to go with a very clean yet nice looking UI.
Attempting to put together a couple of old UIs.
This one and This one.
Believe it or not this is a completely different oUF Layout from the one I had 3 days ago.
Sort out buff/debuff/tracker/cooldown icon sizing and locations.
Fix the castbar timers that I broke.
Make the castbar class colored.
Figure out how to get a different class/reaction color on the health bars, similar to how they are in the second screenshot above.

OKLAHOMA CITY – Arizona State University football student-athlete Alden Darby has been named to the Jim Thorpe Award Preseason Watch List, the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame and Jim Thorpe Association announced Friday.
The Thorpe Award, presented to the nation's most outstanding defensive back, was established in 1986 and is named after history's greatest all-around athlete, Jim Thorpe.
Darby, who moved from cornerback to safety prior to the 2012 season, played an instrumental role in a defensive backfield that ranked third nationally in pass defense and 10th in passing efficiency defense, and led the Pac-12 in both categories. ASU also finished the season with 21 interceptions, a mark that was tied for fourth in the nation.
A 2012 All-Pac-12 Second Team selection, Darby recorded three interceptions on the year, including one against USC that he returned for a 70-yard touchdown, which was the longest interception return for a touchdown for ASU since Troy Nolan's 100-yard return in 2008. Darby also added 80 tackles, including eight in the team's Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl win over Navy.
Darby was also named to the preseason watch list for the Lott IMPACT Trophy, given to those who have a positive influence in the classroom, on the field and around the community.
Darby is heavily involved in the Scholar Baller leadership and outreach program, where he helps develop curriculum, deliver, teach and mentor students at South Mountain High School, Academy of Excellence and Cesar Chavez High School teaching them about developing championship character, creating a strong sense of self and becoming a great leader.
A three-year Sun Devil, Darby has 145 career tackles, six career interceptions for a 194 return yards, and seven pass deflections.
Darby is one of eight Pac-12 representatives on the list, which is tied for the most of any conference.
The Thorpe Award Winner is selected from three finalists and will be announced at The Home Depot College Football Awards on Thursday, December 12, 2013 on ESPN. The Jim Thorpe Award Banquet will be held on Tuesday, February 4, 2014 in Oklahoma City, OK.

Difference Between Sales Revenue & Gross Profit
Original post by Carol Deeb of Demand Media
Owning a business requires you to keep track of revenue and profit. If you are not familiar with business accounting terms and how to measure your company's success, you risk compromising the financial health of your enterprise. Basic business accounting includes understanding the difference between sales revenue and gross profit to track your company's progress and make changes when necessary to increase your income.
Business Accounting
Profit and loss statements are necessary to qualify for business loans or attract investors to take your company to the next level. Your final numbers are based on important items that include the number of products that move through your business, the cost of making or buying them and the expense to run your company. If your reporting is not accurate, you risk losing the ability to gain funding, or you can misunderstand your financial health and place your business in jeopardy of closing. Understanding how your sales revenue is related to your gross profit is an important aspect of business accounting.
Sales Revenue
Sales revenue is the money you make from selling your product or service minus any returns that are credited back to a customer account. Also referred to as net sales or net revenue, sales revenue is a good indication of your projected income. Tracking these numbers tells you if your company is growing and meeting your expectations. However, if a product is not priced properly or there are other factors that do not translate your increased revenue into higher profits, look for trends indicating that it's time to implement a new business model.
Gross Profit
Gross profit is your sales revenue minus the cost to make or buy your products (cost of goods sold). Eventually, you will subtract your operating expenses from your gross profit to realize the net income of your business. Therefore, your company's overall profitability is closely tied to the gross profit. You can project your income for the month by estimating your gross profit based on your current and anticipated sales. If your gross profit will not be high enough to cover standard operating expenses, then you must either market heavily or offer a special that increases your volume to make more sales revenue.
To compare monthly financial information of your business, calculate the gross profit ratio, or margin. This number tells you the percentage of how much of your sales revenue translates to gross profit. Your goal is to achieve as high a percent as possible. For example, if your sales revenue is $10,000 and your gross profit is $3,000, your ratio is 30 percent (3,000/10,000=.30). This indicates that 30 cents of every sales revenue dollar is gross profit for the company.

Two "Bachelor" TV weddings in one year? On the heels of "Bachelor" star Sean Lowe's January wedding to Catherine Giudici, "Bachelorette" alum Desiree Hartsock has revealed that she's in wedding planning mode.
In a Feb. 10 interview posted by Cupids Pulse, the Season 9 "Bachelorette" star dished on her upcoming marriage to Chris Siegfried. And yes, she confirmed that it might be a TV event later this year.
Following their romantic engagement in Antigua last spring, Hartsock said she and her fiance are finally starting to plan their nuptials. "We are working on setting a date," she said. "We're open to having it televised and still planning for the fall."
The bridal stylist also revealed that she plans to design both her wedding and reception dresses. "Both dresses will reflect my personality in different ways," she said. "I love to dance and be comfortable, so my reception gown will cater to that, while the ceremony gown will be more romantic."
If the couple does opt for a TV wedding (and who wouldn't want to have ABC foot the bill for a dream wedding?), they can get advice from their new go-to couple, Jason and Molly Mesnick.
"They have been so great to us, and it's nice to share a common bond," Hartsock said of the "Bachelor" alums, who wed in a televised extravaganza in 2010. "We'll get together with them whenever possible for dinner or even just to hang at their house with Riley, their adorable baby girl."
Speaking of past "Bachelor" TV weddings, Hartsock recently told E Online, she didn't understand the Lowes' unusual "Grown Sexy" wedding theme.
"Is it grown, like I'm growing a garden? Or is it like, 'I'm an adult?' Or is it like, Justin Timberlake, we're bringing sexy back?" she asked.
The current season of "The Bachelor" airs on Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.

What: Just two days remain to book a seven-night Caribbean cruise on Norwegian Spirit beginning at $399 that includes a $25 onboard credit, $50-$100 for using an American Express card, 15% off shore excursions, an onboard savings book valued at $200 and reduced rates for third/fourth passengers ($199-$249) in a cabin.
Where: Norwegian Spirit sails from New Orleans with stops in Honduras, Belize, Costa Maya and Cozumel.
When: Travel dates are November 28, December 5 or 12, 2010, but must be booked by the end of Friday, June 11, and is available only through Travelocity.
The fine print: The advertised rate does not include taxes and fees, which for a $399 inside cabin pushes the price to $498.28 per person. Rates are higher for oceanview and balcony cabins.
Alternative thinking: Not feeling New Orleans? This $399 deal also applies to Norwegian Cruise Line sailings out of Miami to the Caribbean and New York to the Bahamas on select dates.
Travelers think: Love 'em or hate 'em, Norwegian Cruise Line marches to its' own beat with "freestyle cruising," especially in dining options where guests can choose when and with whom they dine. And the truth is, most other major cruise lines have added an "anytime" dining option to their ships over the last few years based on the desires of guests.
Getting there from Nashville: The current cheapest available flight to New Orleans is $415 on American Airlines with a three-hour layover in Dallas. Southwest has yet to release dates for November or December. However, why bother flying when The Big Easy is an eight-hour drive from Nashville. Come in a day early and sample some of that Cajun cuisine before you sail the next day.
Bottomline: If you're looking for a cheap cruise within easy driving distance of Nashville, and you love the appearance of a bargain with onboard credits, coupon books and excursion discounts, then book this cruise.
For information: Click here to book through the Travelocity website, or call 877-815-5446 to book by phone.

July is the month for declaring your independence. Not only did we just celebrate July 4th, marking America's independence from Great Britain, but our friends from France will set off their own fireworks in celebration of Bastille Day on July 14th.
Although this important holiday commemorates the overturning of the monarchy, placing France under a democratic rule, frankly, (or perhaps fancophilely), it is just a great excuse to play pétanque and drink some French wine!
Not sure which wines to grab for the occasion? Here are a few suggestions to help point you in the right direction.
C'est le Sauvignon Blanc!
In the heat of July, crisp, refreshing citrus-focused whites are a perfect accompaniment to salads as well as celebrations.
Mouton Cadet Sauvignon Blanc 2012, Bordeaux, France, $11.00
This dry wine has lovely acidity with fresh grapefruit and herbal aromas, which are joined by melon flavors.
Avant-Garde Bordeaux Blanc 2012, Bordeaux, France, $17.00
Another 100% Sauvignon Blanc wine, this wine has citrus, pith and mineral notes on both the nose and palate, culminating in long length.
Hooray for Rosé
Rosés are always a welcome option for summer seafood and other lighter fare.
Mouton Cadet Le Rose de Mouton Cadet 2012, Bordeaux, France, $11.00
A crisp quaffer that is perfect to drink on its own or paired with food. Floral and berry aromas greet the nose and are joined with melon flavors on the bright palate.
Château de Jonquières, Cuvée Cersius 2013, Languedoc, France, $24.00
Comprised of Syrah, Grenache and Cinsault, aromas of floral, berries and melon greet the nose, while the palate shows pink grapefruit, strawberry and some minerality.
Reds, white and blue
As Bill Blass once said, "When in doubt, wear red." Apparently, a red dress (and red wine) never go out of style!
Château de Jonquières, Grand Reserve Cuvée Eole 2012, Corbieres, France, $27.00
From the Corbieres appellation in the Languedoc, this wine is a blend of 59% Grenache and 41% Syrah. On the nose, it delivers red and bramble fruit aromas, which persist on the very fresh palate, joined by spice and earthy notes along with ripe tannins and medium-full body.
Château La Pirouette Medoc 2011, Bordeaux, France, $38.00
This Cru Bourgeois wine brings together 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 20% Petit Verdot. Displaying typical Left-Bank Bordeaux aromas and flavors of menthol, oak, spice and black berry, this wine is full-bodied with ripe tannins and long length.
Bring on the bubbles!
Of course, bubbles are fine anytime, but are especially welcome at a celebration and the perfect sparkling wine for a French festival is Champagne.
Barons de Rothschild Brut NV Champagne, France, $97.00
This lovely Champagne offers up toasty, lemony, and brioche notes on the nose, which persist on the palate with long length.
Barons de Rothschild Brut Rose NV, Champagne, France, $123.00
A complex nose of yeast, berries and caramel greets the nose, giving way to very yeasty and toasty notes, coupled with fruit flavors of melon and red fruit on the beautiful palate.

The breakfast spread was fabulous for the cost of the stay and staff were vigilant about keeping the area tidy and supplied.
We would definitely consider staying at this Staybridge or any other on the basis of this experience.

Catch up, caught up and moving forward for the travelers
Wednesday, March 06, 2013
So yesterday was whirlwind for me lots to do and yes you guessed it I didnt do half of what i should have done . So In trying to catch up today on my Challenge just because it is important to me and I dont want anyone to think that is different . Now let me say for the record right now that tomorrow is going to be just liked yesterday ... So we are going to travel in the past, present and the future for this blog ... I realize that i will not get points for yesterday or tomorrow but that is fine at this point as i can not say I can write tomorrow.
Day to day that is number 4 on our blog series ... well day to day I have done well with writing what I need to track on here so that counts . it is accurate information it just isnt keyed yet . Accuracy is the one thing that is important to me how much of everything is the ticket . I want to know what i am eating and how much so i can better understand where my problems are .
Number 5 is what can I improve on ? Planning for the unexpected or the expected that i know is coming up . Like tomorrow i already know this is going to be a busy bad day .. so tonight I will input everything for that day also . then I cant beat myself up late tomorrow because I dont feel like putting it in . If i can make the list while doing it then I can certainly plan in advance for it . I feel that if i can get this done then I have accomplished two things . One I already have my food tracked and two I removed the ability to beat myself up or give me an excuse to stop till next week.
Day six is do you need Motivation or advice ? Now this is a tough one . I certainly don't turn down either of them . Motivation well that comes in many forms from many people . Sometimes that note that says I thought about is motivational enough to keep on . Sometimes it is my son saying Mom look and he will show me something that he has found on his body. For those of you who dont know Between me and my son we have lost almost 200 pounds . We talk everyday about what we did what we are going to do and what we wont do again . I am so proud of him he really took a bad situation and made it work for him . Back to the answer lol i could talk all night about him . For years I waited for people to tell me I could do this , to notice things about me that had changed and then fell of the wagon when they didnt , so when I decided to change my life and mindset I stopped waiting for them to notice . I relish everyday finding something new or uncovered on this body. and I really mean every day It might be a new bone or a new muscle or maybe is that well those pants i waited five years to wear I cant wear now because they are to big . When I want to know something then I ask but I cant just take your word for it I have to know why it is that way . that is how my brain works . but lots of times what someone says lets me find the right question to get the answer I need. Life is funny in that you really dont ask will the flowers bloom you just know it will so have the same faith in your self everyday , you will bloom if you take care of yourself in the same manner.

Terrible management company after manager change in 2014
by User172870 on
Eddye used to be the manager and was great to work with, but the new owner/manager had terrible customer service and had not dealt well with problems that have come up at my property. The worst part about it, is she has not been completely honest with me--either she has changed the story about what happened with an emergency plumbing situation or she failed to tell me important details at the beginning. Even from the very beginning, it seemed like she was avoiding communicating with me at all costs. When she has communicated with me, it has been through email despite many requests to be contacted by phone (she doesn't answer me calls) and it seems as she is trying to do just enough or say just the right thing to make me satisfied but doesn't actually solve any problems. Disregard reviews from before 2014 because this company has completely changed with the new franchise owner/property manager.
Worst company to work with
by User166813 on
This is by far the worst company I have ever worked with. We lived in our home for almost 2 years and they never got better. They only got worse. They never responded to us and if they did it was rude and short. They took money out of our deposit with our informing us of what the fees were for. They were very rude in emails back an forth. They have the worst customer service I have ever dealt with.
PMI was a nightmare!
by User163689 on
We hired PMI to manage a small rental property. It was a complete nightmare. It took days or even weeks to get a response when we tried to contact them with questions or problems. They caused us more problems with our rental than they solved.
Great Company to Work With
by User24914 on
What a nice change to actually have a property management company that works with you for a change. PMI of Utah has been that company for me, I appreciate their comment to me.
Property Management Incredible!
by User27072 on
I think Property Management Inc is Incredible! For the first time I feel I'm getting what I pay for in a property manager. Real time reporting, prompt replies to my inquiries, quick and professional leasing, and great people.

In a small bowl, combine the masa harina and water, then knead until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve a soft, claylike consistency.
Prepare 5 pieces of parchment the size of your tortilla press. Place one piece on the bottom of the press. Place a ball of dough about the size of a walnut on the parchment. Cover with a piece of parchment, close the top plate, and press down firmly with the handle. Rotate the tortilla and press again, if necessary, to flatten the tortilla to a 1/16-inch thickness. Open the press, peel the top piece of parchment off the tortilla and reuse for remaining dough. Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the tortillas on top of one another and cover the stack with a damp kitchen towel.
Heat a dry cast-iron skillet or nonstick pan until moderately hot. Hold one tortilla in your hand, peel the parchment away, lay the tortilla in the skillet, and cook 30 to 45 seconds per side. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, stacking them as you go. Serve immediately.

Here are some other highlights and headlines that I noticed over at Ransom Notes Radio:
One Gitmo detainee is being released because he took up Yoga. Another is being released because he "has a positive attitude". Another is being released because he's planning to build a Milk and Honey Farm. (What the heck is that?) It's nice to see that the world will soon have an influx of happy, productive, well-adjusted terrorists… (NY Post)
Since the NSA scandal broke open, other nations don't trust American companies that much… In completely unrelated news: Google is developing a new software that will remotely access your camera, microphone and Bluetooth in an effort to let other people know whether or not you're around. (Full body chills.) (Androidpolice)
According to a new study, 70 percent of college graduates are not financially self-sufficient. That's right: 70 percent depend on their parents, friends, or credit cards to keep from financially drowning… This is what happens when people borrow $30,000 for a degree in anthropological feminism (I'm just assuming this is really a thing). (Yahoo Finance)
Wow… This is a shock: After Obama granted de-facto amnesty to young illegal immigrants, the border was soon overrun by… wait for it... young illegal immigrants. And, of course, the President has promised to provide these young immigrants with legal counsel. Because, ya know, federal immigration laws are really more like guidelines anyway. (NY Times)
More Democrats are giving up on Obama… Or depending on how you view it, they're finally realizing that he's just fulfilling his campaign pledge: "Hope and Change." Here they are, in Barack Obama's second term, hoping for change. Well played, Mr. Obama. Well played. (National Journal)

It's been a great year for HARRA's Houston Marathon Warm-Up Series. The weather for all events was excellent for racing except perhaps for the USA Space Center 10-Miler, which was a bit on the warm side.
Indeed, last Sunday's 30K was a runner's dream. Saturday was too warm, race day Sunday was perfect, and Monday would have been a bit on the chilly side. Talk about ideal thermal bookmarks! And as usual, Andy and crew did a great job of race hosting.
In the female open category, Heidy Lozano took the top spot with a time of 2:03:59.5, a 6:40 pace. It says something about talent (or having the right genes) when a masters runner hammers the entire open female field.
For open males, a chip time of 1:40:20.1 was enough for Patrick Rotich to take the gold. Go here for full age group results. Go here for race video and pics.
Since the 2010 warm-up series is a wrap, what's next? The Marathon for those lucky enough to get in via the new lottery, HARRA reserved slots, or by being a veteran (marathon that is, not military). This traditional Houston event will be on Sunday, 1/30/11.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Senior Daniel Jenkins accounted for 152 yards of total offense and the Arizona football team piled up more than 300 yards on the ground on Friday in its season-opening 35-0 win over Northern Arizona at Arizona Stadium.
The Wildcats recorded 393 yards of total offense on the night, 306 of which came on the ground. In addition to Jenkins' career-high 139 yards and a score, quarterbacks B.J. Denker (71) and Javelle Allen (67) combined for 133 yards and a rushing touchdown each.
Arizona's defense limited NAU to just 270 yards of total offense and 94 yards rushing in the second shutout of the Rich Rodriguez Era. Senior linebacker Jake Fischer and junior safety Tra'Mayne Bondurant shared team-high honors with seven tackles apiece, while the latter recorded a pair of interceptions – one of which he ran back for a score – to spark a defense that forced three turnovers on the night.
As a unit, the UA defense registered three sacks and 11 tackles for loss in the victory.
"It was a solid performance tonight," Rodriguez said. "We had some issues execution-wise offensively, but the defense was good and they played hard. NAU played hard tonight, as well, and they have a good team. It was nice to get a win and see some of the new guys play for the first time."
The Wildcats found the end zone on the season's first possession, taking the opening kickoff and needing just 3:49 to march 75 yards. Denker capped the drive with an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jenkins, the first scoring catch of the latter's career.
Jenkins continued to provide fireworks for Arizona late in the second period, taking off on a 91-yard touchdown run – the third-longest in program history – to make the score 14-0 with 5:32 to play in the first half. The Moreno Valley, Calif., native finished the first half with 139 yards of total offense, including 129 rushing yards on just nine attempts, and a pair of scores.
Arizona's defense was active in the first half, allowing NAU just 127 total yards and 32 yards on the ground. Fischer had five first-half stops, while senior cornerback Shaquille Richardson posted a pair of tackles for loss.
Bondurant got things going for UA in the second half, intercepting a tipped ball on the half's first play from scrimmage and taking the ball 23 yards for a score. It was Bondurant's second-career interception return for a touchdown.
Denker got the Wildcats on the board again midway through the third quarter, bolting for a 30-yard score. Freshman Devin Holiday intercepted NAU's Kyren Poe on NAU's next possession, the first pick of his collegiate career. Bondurant followed up with his second interception of the contest in the waning seconds of the third quarter, bringing Arizona's total to three picks on the night.
Allen posted his first-career touchdown late in the fourth quarter, sprinting 61 yards up the middle to cap the night's scoring.
Jenkins led UA with three catches on a quiet night for the passing game, with Garic Wharton and Johnny Jackson each coming up with two receptions. Denker finished the night 9-of-13 for 87 yards, a touchdown and a 150.8 passer rating.
The Wildcats will hit the road next weekend, visiting UNLV on Saturday for a 7:30 p.m. PDT kickoff. CBS Sports Network will televise the action, with Brian Jeffries, Lamont Lovett and Dana Cooper on the radio call for the Arizona Radio Network.

From the Ashes - Chapter One: Phineas Irvine Tied to a chair with the barrel of a gun in his mouth wasn't the way Phineas had expected to start his day.From the Ashes - Chapter One: Phineas Irvine by mistressjera
The worst part - Phineas laughed at himself for even thinking this. That was the worst part? - was trying not to gag. At any moment a musketball could be ripping through the roof of his mouth and turning his brain, and likely most of his head, into cottage cheese, and he was worried about vomiting onto his lap.
The man on the more favorable end of the gun looked as though he was having almost as bad of a day as Fin was. His deep grey uniform was dirty and rumpled, one eye sporting quite the shiner. He was obviously a fellow of lesser rank, trying desperately to do something in front of his superior that might move him up a notch. Chances were, he didn't know exactly what he had, and Phineas was counting on that. If this man found out the truth about him…well, the walls would have been
From the Ashes - Prologue Everyone who knows the truth is dead.From the Ashes - Prologue by mistressjera
The ones who weren't incinerated in the initial blast were taken by the blight that followed, with not so much as a breath to explain. Nobody knew what happened. Nobody knew why.
The snow came thereafter, a blackened fall of ash that hung in the sky, slowly drifting its way to the earth, blocking out most of the sunlight and plunging the world into darkness. Plants withered. Animals died. And we, the plague on the world that is human existence, struggled to survive.
The remaining few, suffering through pestilence, famine, and the infallible spirit of human cruelty, gave birth to the next generation, the children who would carry what was left of the world.
But something was different. The human condition is a disease itself, a virus that eats away at its host but is too simple, too unevolved to know that it should never kill it. An e

College Hockey:RPI Takes Yale In Defensive Struggle
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Rensselaer and Yale hooked up tonight for an old-fashioned defensive struggle as the Engineers came away with a hard-fought, 2-1 victory before 2,713 at Ingalls Rink in ECACHL action.
The Bulldogs (8-9-3, 5-7-1 ECACHL), blanked on seven power-play attempts had the slight (28-27) advantage in shots on goal but could not generate a goal from a member of the front lines for the third straight night and never had a lead. Blueliner Tom Dignard had the lone Yale tally while Alec Richards stood on his head with 25 saves.
Jordan Alford stopped 27 of 28 shots and earned the win for RPI (7-11-7, 3-6-4) with 15 saves in the final 20 minutes. The Engineers, one-for-six with the man advantage, were able to thwart a few Yale breakaways.
Despite a scoreless 20 minutes and the first shot on goal coming over four minutes after the puck was first dropped, there was plenty of action at both ends of the ice in the opening period as Rensselaer outshot Yale 6-4 and both goalies came up with a few big stops.
Yale's best chance came on a Blair Yaworski breakaway that never resulted in a shot on goal. An Engineer defenseman closed in on the Bulldog forward and blocked the attempt from the low slot.
One of the sidebars to the initial period was the status of referee Frank Murphy, who took a hit midway through and had to leave the game. He was replaced at the start of the second by conference supervisor of officials Luke Galvin.
The Engineers broke the ice with 12 seconds left on their second man-advantage. Matt Angers-Goulet (4th goal) fired a shot toward the net from the left dot that looked to be going wide left. The puck appeared to bounce off a player near the left post and carom inside the right at 5:24.
Dignard's fourth goal of the year 54 seconds later made it 1-1 after Mark Arcobello won a draw. The Yale freshman defenseman took the puck about eight feet from the blueline and quickly sent a low wrister glove side on Alford.
Seth Klerer (8th) was the beneficiary of a juicy rebound that gave the lead back to the visitors at 2-1. Andrei Uryadow, who had raced out of the penalty box and grabbed a clearing toss, took a few steps and then fired a nasty shot that Richards knocked away. The only problem for Yale was the puck stopped on the edge of the crease as Klerer followed up with an easy backhander at 14:50.
That turned out to be the last scoring of the night with a wild third period to follow.
Midway in the third Yale survived a brief two-man advantage for RPI with one impressive save by Richards. A few minutes later Jean-Francois Boucher picked up the puck and mid ice and race the length before Alford poked it away from the Bulldog winger at the last moment.
The Blue, with 15 shots on target in the third, had its chances in the last few minutes, peppering Alford from every angle during a few power-play chances but the junior netminder came up big every time. A 5-on-3 with just over two minutes left turned into a brief 6-on-3 when Richards was pulled with 1:40 left. Alford and the Engineers never saw the puck clear their own blueline for the last 2:02.
"We were not going away easily, we hung in there," said Keith Allain, Yale head coach. "We missed about eight or 10 shots in the third period on some good scoring chances."

Anyone who has ever dressed a child will love this one!
Did you hear about the Texas Teacher who was helping one of her kindergarten students put on his cowboy boots? He asked for help and she could see why.
Even with her pulling and him pushing, the little boots still didn't want to go on. Finally, when the second boot was on, she had worked up a sweat.
She almost cried when the little boy said, "Teacher, they're on the wrong feet."
She looked and sure enough, they were. It wasn't any easier pulling the boots off than it was putting them on. She managed to keep her cool as together they worked to get the boots back on - this time on the right feet.
He then announced, "These aren't my boots."
She bit her tongue rather than get right in his face and scream, "Why didn't you say so?" like she wanted to. And, once again she struggled to help him pull the ill-fitting boots off his little feet. No sooner they got the boots off and he said, "They're my brother's boots. My Mom made me wear 'em."
Now she didn't know if she should laugh or cry. But, she mustered up the grace and courage she had left to wrestle the boots on his feet again. Helping him into his coat, she asked, "Now, where are your mittens?" He said,
"I stuffed 'em in the toes of my boots."
Her trial starts next month.
"Let me see if I've got this right. You want me to go into that room with all those kids and fill their every waking moment with a love for learning. And I'm supposed to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity, modify their disruptive behavior, observe them for signs of abuse and even censor their T shirt messages and dress habits.
You want me to wage a war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for weapons of mass destruction, and raise their self esteem. You want me to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship, and fair play, how and where to register to vote, how to balance a checkbook, and how to apply for a job. I am to check their heads for lice, maintain a safe environment, recognize signs of antisocial behavior, offer advice, write letters of recommendation for student employment and scholarships, encourage respect for the cultural diversity of others, and, oh yeah, always make sure that I give the girls in my class 50 percent of my attention.
My contract requires me to work on my own time after school and evenings grading papers. Also, I must spend my summer vacation at my own expense, working toward advance certification and a Master's degree. And on my own time you want me to attend committee and faculty meetings, PTA meetings, and participate in staff development training. I am to be a paragon of virtue, larger than life, such that my very presence will awe my students into being obedient and respectful of authority. And I am to pledge allegiance to family values and this current administration.
You want me to incorporate technology into the learning experience, monitor web sites, and relate personally with each student. That includes deciding who might be potentially dangerous and/or liable to commit a crime in school. I am to make sure all students pass the state mandatory exams, even those who don't come to school regularly or complete any of their assignments. Plus, I am to make sure that all of the students with handicaps get an equal education regardless of the extent of their mental or physical handicap. And I am to communicate regularly with the parents by letter, telephone, newsletter, and report card.
All of this I am to do with just a piece of chalk, a computer, a few books, a bulletin board, and a big smile AND on a starting salary that qualifies my family for food stamps!
You want me to do all of this and you expect me NOT TO PRAY?"

"I give it to them," replied the lawyer, "and then I send them a bill."
The doctor was shocked, but agreed to give it a try. The next day, still feeling slightly guilty, the doctor prepared the bills.
When he went to place them in his mailbox, he found a bill from the lawyer.

A good clean joke is hard to find these days --- pass it on
The man noticed that the chicken had three legs. So he followed the chicken down a road and ended up at a farm. He got out of his car and saw that all the chickens had three legs.
He asked the farmer, "What's up with these chickens?"
The farmer said "Well, everybody likes chicken legs, so I bred a three-legged bird. I'm going to be a millionaire." The man asked him how they tasted. The farmer said, "Don't know, haven't caught one yet."

F2: TELL me about it! I went golfing with my ex one time, and he told me I asked too many questions!

F2: I thought I asked legitimate questions.... like, "Why did you hit the ball into that lake?"
The doctor rolls his eyes and looks up at the ceiling, and says to the second man, "It's your turn. What is three times three?"
"Tuesday," replies the second man. The doctor shakes his head sadly, then asks the third man, "Okay, your turn. What's three times three?"
"Nine," says the third man.
"That's great!" says the doctor. "How did you get that?"
"Simple," he says, "just subtract 274 from Tuesday."

While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage. The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor, because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand printed sign: "ENERGY EFFICIENT VEHICLE. RUNS ON OATS AND GRASS. CAUTION: DO NOT STEP IN EXHAUST.!!!!
A minister waited in line to have his car filled with gas just before a long holiday week- end. The attendant worked quickly, but there were many cars ahead of him in front of the service station. Finally, the attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. "Reverend, said the young man, "sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip"; The minister chuckled, " I know what you mean. "It's the same in my business."

The Diamonds are featured in Grand Theft Auto IV,The Lost and Damned and the recently revealed The Ballad of Gay Tony wherein they are involved in many scenarios also involving the Protagonists, Niko Bellic, Johnny Klebitz and Luis Fernando Lopez as well as many others. Detailed below are the many different scenarios which take place involving the diamonds and the different people that gain possession of them each time. The diamonds are the main purpose which led to the Impossible Trinity achievement.
The diamonds are first seen in the beginning cutscene of GTA IV and were brought to Liberty City on the Platypus but are smuggled of the ship by the cook to later be sold.
Gay Tony and Luis Lopez are seen to attended a meeting with the ship's cook in order to obtain the diamonds. This deal however, was interrupted by Johnny Klebitz and several members of The Lost, on the orders of Ray Boccino.
Following the ambush, Johnny followed and killed Tony's boyfriend, Evan Moss and hid the diamonds within some garbage in Algonquin, in which the diamonds will be collected by Niko Bellic, Luca Silvestri, Joseph "Tuna" DiLeo and Johnny Spaz.
After the diamonds have been collected, Luca and his crew attempt to steal the diamonds for themselves and plan to move to Las Venturas, but are stopped and are killed by Niko.
Later on, again on the orders of Ray Boccino, Niko teams up with Johnny, though not for the first time, and attempts to sell the diamonds to Isaac Roth and Mori Green, members of the Jewish Mob. The deal is interrupted by Luis Lopez, who achieves his goal of stealing the diamonds and delivers them to Tony, who puts them in his safe. This deal is seen played out from three different perspectives; in Niko's point of view, Johnny's point of view and Luis' point of view.
Later on Niko and Packie kidnap Gracie Ancelotti on the orders of Gerald McReary in an attempt to trade her for the diamonds at a later stage. Gay Tony and Luis Lopez agree to strike a deal to trade the diamonds for the safe return of Gracie at an Oil Refinery on Charge Island after being threatened with death by Gracie's father should Gracie die or not be returned. Soon thereafter, the deal gets underway and seems to be going smoothly until Bulgarin appears, claiming that the diamonds were his before Gay Tony and Luis stole them. Following a shoot-out, one of Bulgarin's men grabs the diamonds and escapes up onto one of the metal walkways surrounding the refinery and holds them over the railings when he is cornered by Niko and Packie. Fearful for his life, no matter his decision, He decides to drop them over the railing into a passing garbage truck which is headed for the dump and with that he is promptly killed.
The last appearance the diamonds have are at the end of The Ballad Of Gay Tony's final mission, Departure Time. Luis meets Tony at the Monoglobe Monument after killing Rodislav Bulgarin on his plane. As he moves towards Tony, he "makes a scene" by bumping into a Jerry Kapowitz, knocking him over. He picks the old man up and walks away, not noticing the old man finding a puch on the ground. The old man reaches into the puch and pulls out a diamond, inspects it, puts it back in the bag and runs away laughing.
The last mention of the diamonds however happens when listening to Weazel News. It is said that a homeless man found them in a landfill, and were valued to be worth $2 million. 100 people attempt to obtain the diamonds before the mayor makes the decision to give them to the homeless man. The homeless man then speaks of his plan to sell the diamonds and use his money to open up a gun shop and a liquor store in Vice City.

Jumping and Sprinting
Height at which its hind legs can propel it forward: 30 feet
Height at which its hind legs can propel it straight up from a standing position: 18 feet
Average sprinting speed: 35 mph
Species and Status
Approximate number of common names: at least 40
Number of subspecies in the world: 30
Number of subspecies in Canada: 4
The eastern cougar (F.c cougar) was listed as endangered by the Committee on the
Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC)
Year the eastern subspecies was declared endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered
Wildlife in Canada: 1978
Year the status was re-examined and the subspecies was designated as "data deficient": 1998
The other three cougar subspecies can be found in western Canada.
F.c. missoulensis is found throughout southwestern Alberta and in the interior of
British Columbia.
F.c. oregonensis can be located along the coast range of British Columbia.
F.c. vancouverensis are native only to Vancouver Island.

Number of weeks, upon birth, until a kitten can consume meat: 6 weeks
Hunting Cougars
Duration of hunting period (without bans) on cougars: 200 years
Early settlers saw cougars as a threat to their game and livestock and therefore would
destroy a cougar when they saw one. The cougar population dwindled and it has only been in
the last century or so that cougars have been able to increase their numbers, due to hunting
bans in some areas.
Price of bounty: up to $50 per cougar

The former Leeds United player pens a blog post revealing he is gay and announcing he is retiring from football at age 25.
21:03, UK, Friday 15 February 2013
Former Leeds United and US international football player Robbie Rogers has revealed he is gay in an online post.
The 25-year-old, who most recently played for Stevenage, also announced he was stepping away from football.
"For the past 25 years I have been afraid, afraid to show whom I really was because of fear. Fear that judgment and rejection would hold me back from my dreams and aspirations," Rogers wrote in a blog post on Friday.
"Try explaining to your loved ones after 25 years you are gay. Try convincing yourself that your creator has the most wonderful purpose for you even though you were taught differently," he added.
Rogers said he always thought he would be able to keep his sexuality a secret.
"Football was my escape, my purpose, my identity," he wrote. "Football hid my secret, gave me more joy than I could have ever imagined ... I will always be thankful for my career."
The California native said he realised he could only "truly enjoy" his life once he was honest.
"My secret is gone, I am a free man, I can move on and live my life as my creator intended," he said.
Rogers won 18 caps for the US national team between 2009 and 2011.
Impeded by injury, Rogers made just four appearances for Leeds after signing a deal to play for the Championship side in January 2012.
He was released by Leeds last month after completing a five-month loan at Stevenage.

Jobs have become a focal point of the Presidential election. President Obama talks about how the economy is recovering and is gaining jobs, compared to when he took office and we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs a month.
Governor Romney says he can do better and create more jobs - 12 million jobs in his first term. Whether it's doable is the question for voters to decide.
Job Creation
FactCheck.org reports that the economy had "...lost nearly 4.5 million jobs in the year before Obama became president, and it lost another 4.3 million before hitting bottom a year later, in February 2010." In January 2009, before the President took office, 810,000 jobs were lost. All those jobs, and then some, have been regained.
Here's more information from the candidates on jobs and the economy:
Where has the job growth come from? Leading job site Indeed.com has collected more data on what has happened with the job market in the last several years. Here is a list of industries that have had positive increases in the amount of job postings between January, 2009 and September, 2012:
- Hospitality – 129.22% increase
- Transportation – 116.70% increase
- Education – 116.97% increase
- Construction – 85.49% increase
- Manufacturing – 83.32% increase
The overall gain in jobs, approximately 325,000, is obviously not enough and the monthly jobs report, while showing growth isn't significant growth. The question for voters to consider is whether the steady progress in the right direction is the right path to follow. Or, can Mitt Romney jumpstart the job market and improve the job market in a meaningful way?
What neither candidate seems to be talking about is what is going to happen with unemployment at the end of the year. Unemployment was down slightly (7.8%) last month, but there are still millions of unemployed Americans, many of whom have run out of unemployment benefits or will run out when the unemployment extensions run out at the end of the year.
Starting in 2013, the only unemployment benefits any worker will be eligible for are the maximum of 26 weeks of state unemployment. All federal extensions will be cut-off (rather than phased out) for all people collecting extended benefits at the end of December.

Bucknell's Katelyn Miller was named 2012 Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
April 24, 2012
Center Valley, Pa. - Bucknell sophomore Katelyn Miller was selected as the 2012 Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year and earned one of 13 spots on the sport's Academic All-Patriot League Team, it was announced on Tuesday. The awards are voted on by the Patriot League's women's lacrosse sports information directors, who can not select their own student-athletes.
American and Navy led all squads with four student-athletes selected to the Academic All-Patriot League Team. Seniors Paige Lin and Lauren Schoenberger and juniors Emily Burton and Kimberly Collins represented the Eagles, while juniors Jasmine DePompeo and Kathy Young, senior Kierstin King and sophomore Jill Coughlin made the squad from Navy. Miller was joined by classmate Lindsey Ferro for Bucknell, while seniors Katie Sullivan (Colgate) and Leigh Ann Torcivia (Lehigh) and junior Cammie Linville (Lafayette) represented their schools.
The Academic All-Patriot League Team is in its second season and features 12 student-athletes to equal the size of the sport's first-team All-Patriot League squad, with an additional honoree on this year's list due to a tie in the voting. Schoenberger, Lin, Colllins, Young, Sullivan and Linville all repeated as Academic All-Patriot League selections.
Miller, a midfielder who also earned second-team All-Patriot League honors, has enjoyed a strong season for the Bison. She heads into Tuesday's regular-season finale with 32 goals, nine assists, 32 ground balls, 46 draw controls and 22 caused turnovers on the season. She is third in the Patriot League in caused turnovers per game and fifth in ground balls per contest, and tied a school record with six caused turnovers on March 3 against George Washington.
Miller has excelled in her first three semesters in the classroom as a double major in Biology and Psychology. She has recorded a 3.91 cumulative grade-point average and made the Dean's List in every semester, while also earning a spot on the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll last year. Miller works as a student athletic trainer at Bucknell and will be doing research on cardiology and cholesterol at the University of Maryland Medical Center this summer. She also volunteers at Lewisburg Food Bank and Our Daily Bread, a homeless shelter in Baltimore, as well as with Do-Rak (Do Random Acts of Kindness) on campus. Miller serves as the women's lacrosse SAAC representative.
Miller becomes Bucknell's seventh Patriot League Women's Lacrosse Scholar-Athlete of the Year, and third in the past four seasons after Alyssa DeLorenz claimed the honor in 2009 and 2011.
Seven of the 13 selections to the Academic All-Patriot League team were also honored with All-League selections for their play on the field. Burton, Collins, DePompeo, Young, King and Torcivia all made the first team, with Miller earning the spot on the second team.
Each student-athlete has also excelled in the classroom. For American, each student-athlete has notched a cumulative GPA higher than 3.7. Burton holds a 3.73 cumulative GPA as Psychology major, Lin has a 3.88 mark as an Interdisciplinary Studies (Science-Intensive) major, Collins carries a 3.71 GPA while majoring in Business Administration and Schoenberger has the same mark as a Psychology and Philosophy major. Navy's trio of DePompeo (3.38 GPA, Political Science), Young (3.60 GPA, Ocean Engineering) and King (3.37 GPA, Oceanography) all stand out in class in addition to their first-team All-League honors, while Coughlin carries a 3.73 GPA as an Oceanography major. Ferro has a 3.80 cumulative GPA as a Business Management major at Bucknell, Sullivan maintains a 3.57 mark while majoring in Economics at Colgate, Linville holds a 3.74 GPA as an Economics and Business major at Lafayette and Torcivia carries a 3.40 mark as a Psychology major at Lehigh.
To be eligible for the Scholar-Athlete of the Year award and the Academic All-Patriot League Team, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.20 cumulative grade point average and be a starter or key player in his/her sport. Freshmen or students in their first academic year at their school are not eligible for the honor.
The Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year for each individual sport comprises the pool of nominees for the Patriot League Male and Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year awards given out over the summer. One male and one female are selected for this honor.

Madison Square Garden. Photo by wallyg on Flickr.
It was only a little over a month ago when MMA wasn't included in newly-elected New York governor Andrew Cuomo's state budget plans for 2011.
The news prompted UFC President Dana White to say that he was "done predicting" a time frame when it came to the sport being legalized in the Empire State. Hopes were dashed to say the least.
However, promising news has come to light today as a bill to legalize mixed martial arts was overwhelmingly passed by New York's Senate Standing Committee on Cultural Affairs, Tourism, Parks and Recreation by a vote of 13-1.
Justin Klein has more details:
If last year is any indication, the bill will now go straight to the full Senate for a vote.
The overwhelming support for the bill is a good sign and so is the fact that the bill is through the Tourism Committee this early in the legislative session, i.e. approximately three (3) months before the bill was referred out of the Tourism Committee last year.
While I hesitate to read too much into anything when it comes to New York politics, in my view, the early action on the bill in the Senate (in particular, before the budget process has been resolved) is a step in the right direction.
By the time the bill passed the Senate last year it was near the end of the legislative session, which did not give proponents of legalizing MMA in the Assembly too much time to use that leverage and publicity to work on pushing the bill in the Assembly.
Now, however, if the Senate can pass the bill in April or even early-May, there will be more time to force the issue in the Assembly.
In addition, it was no coincidence that White and a trio of UFC fighters (Renzo Gracie, Frankie Edgar and Matt Hamill) were in Albany today to meet with legislators and hold a press conference promoting the potential legalization of the sport in New York.
Hopefully that went well.
