Robinson Crusoe
by Daniel Defoe
Robinson Crusoe Man and the Natural World Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Page Number). We used the 2008 Oxford World Classics edition.
Quote #7
Those who understand such Enclosures will think I had very little Contrivance, when I pitch'd upon a place very proper for all these, being a plain open Piece of Meadow-Land, or Savanna, (as our People call it in the Western Collonies,) which had two or three little Drills of fresh Water in it, and at one end was very woody. I say they will smile at my Forecast, when I shall tell them I began my enclosing this Piece of Ground in such a manner, that my Hedge or Pale must have been at least two Mile about. (124)
Crusoe cultivates the land and encloses it. This is a sign of possessing or owning the land.
Quote #8
Then to see how like a King I din'd too all alone, attended by my Servants, Poll, as if he had been my Favourite, was the only Person permitted to talk to me. My Dog who was no grown very old and crazy, and had found no Species to multiply his Kind upon, sat always at my Right Hand, and two Cats, one on one Side the Table, and one on the other, expecting now and then a Bit from my Hand, as a Mark of Special Favour. (126)
Notice the hierarchy that Crusoe instills in his organization of the natural world.
Quote #9
You are to understand, that now I had, as I may call it, two Plantations in the Island; one my little Fortification or Tent, with the Wall about it under the Rock, with the Cave behind me, which by this Time I had enlarg'd into several Apartments or Caves, one within another. One of these, which was the driest, and largest, and had a Door out beyond my Wall or Fortification; that is to say, beyond where my Wall joyn'd to the Rock, was all fill'd up with the large Earthen Pots, of which I have given an Account, and with fourteen or fifteen great Baskets, which would hold five or six Bushels each, where I laid up my Stores of Provision, especially my Corn, some in the Ear cut off short from the Straw, and the other rubb'd out with my Hand. (128)
While money has no use on the island, Crusoe still accumulates things: two houses, supplies, and goods.

A Jan. 3 fire in an apartment building on W. Church Street in Selbyville caused $150,000 in damages and displaced 20 people.
According to the Delaware State Fire Marshal's office, the blaze occurred around 3 p.m. With the assistance of neighboring fire companies, the Selbyville Volunteer Fire Company extinguished the flames.
State fire investigators have yet to determine the origin and cause of the fire. There were no reported injuries. Seven apartment units received varying degrees of damage.

The Curious Case of the Waiver-Wire Wait
Jason Fry | April 4, 2011 8:20 a.m.
So it has been with a lot of our habits as sports fans and consumers of information. Many of us have gone from being exclusively readers of print papers to dipping into the web for occasional real-time news to reading more and more material online to getting our news almost exclusively online. I grew up as a newspaper kid, working in high-school basements with X-Actos and paste; these days it's rare for me to even pick up the physical paper on the weekend, because I've usually read everything that interests me online Friday night. I can't tell you when picking up the Saturday and Sunday paper became rare, just that it happened and things are different now.
I've known this for a while, but an odd little episode last week showed me how thoroughly I've changed my habits.
If you've heard of Nick Evans, allow me to tip my cap to you as a pretty dedicated baseball fan. Evans is a 25-year-old player for the Mets who's spent part of the last three seasons with the team. He's never been more than a platoon player and often been stuck in the minors, apparently forgotten about. He plays the outfield and first base, neither with particular distinction. He's not particularly adept with the bat against righties, but demolishes left-handed pitching. In other words, he's a young player who's unlikely to be a star and might never even be an everyday player, but is potentially quite useful given the right role. Whether the Mets will ever find the right role for Evans has become a cause celebre for statistically minded fans in recent years.
Last week Evans was one of the final cuts as the Mets exited spring training; fans knew he'd have to pass through waivers before the Mets could assign him to the minors, and another team might snap him up. Fans waited for news about whether Evans had cleared … and waited … and waited. Except they weren't waiting – they badgering asking anybody and everybody on Twitter for news, particularly after sufficient time had passed that word should have come one way or the other.
I wasn't asking anybody – there was such a chorus of questioners that I was far from needed – but I found myself irritably reloading a Twitter search for "Nick Evans" every hour or so. Then every half-hour. And that's when I started thinking about the world changing.
I've always been a huge Mets fan. But five or 10 years ago, I didn't concern myself overmuch with the final late-March tweaks to the roster. The roster would be set when it was set, and when I was I'd read about it; within a couple of weeks of Opening Day a luckless bench guy and/or middle reliever would have tweaked something or slumped his way into a pink slip anyway. But now here I was, reloading Twitter to see if a guy who wouldn't even be on the big-league squad might possibly be on it sometime in the future. I knew I wasn't a bigger Mets fan than I'd been in 2001, so what had changed?
The change, I realized, wasn't in my fandom – it was in my expectations. I'd become used to the idea that beat writers and Mets officials were on Twitter, reporting news in close to real-time. Now that I could get news about that final roster spot and a platoon player's trip through waivers almost instantly, I wondered why that wasn't happening – and quickly went from curious to annoyed. So, too, did a number of Mets fans, to judge by all the Twitter questions. (In light of the Mets' history of seeming to ignore Evans, one waggish fan tweeted this: "So… Nick Evans? Cleared? Claimed? Thrown under a big tarp somewhere and forgotten about?")
Do episodes such as the brief furor over Evans' fate present opportunities for sportswriters? Of course – and to a large extent, news organizations have already sought to take advantage of them. The endless kvetching about bloggers vs. the so-called mainstream media ignores the fact that beat writers have already adapted thoroughly to the digital world – it would border on bizarre to find a beat writer who doesn't have a substantial presence and following on Twitter. For better and for worse, real-time reporting is now part of the job.
But what about when fans reveal themselves as wanting still more, and the fate of an 26th or 27th man becomes an object of interest? Some of that is just the effect of our collective foot having being mashed on the information accelerator for years. But episodes like the curious case of Nick Evans stand out anyway – in such situations, sportswriters can do a couple of things to acknowledge the spike in interest and benefit from it.
First of all, keep tabs on the conversations going on around your beat. What signals are emerging from the noise of needy fans? A sportswriter who acknowledges questions such as those around Evans has a chance of standing out from the crowd in ways that will build his or her following and brand. If there's no news, say so – or offer your best guess as to when there will be something to report.
Second, make use of your access. Waiver rules, for instance, can be devilishly complicated, beyond the grasp of even veteran fans. Even if a specific question can't be answered, give readers as much context as you can in preparation for the answer. Are there roster scenarios that could be causing a delay in reporting news? Is the reason something as mundane as office hours for a team or league? Tell readers what you know and what the possibilities are.
Third, think about what that odd spike in fan interest might mean – there might be a story in there. I saw the outsized interest in Evans' fate as evidence of fans adapting to the Mets' new front office. Stat-minded Mets fans had seen Evans as unjustly ignored by the Mets' old management, presumably because advanced stats weren't valued, and those fans hoped that the team's new, more statistically savvy management would realize Evans deserved a longer look. So his fate became a litmus test of the new front office among a certain segment of the fan base: Losing Evans would suggest things hadn't changed as much as they'd hoped. That's an interesting and possibly unexpected story.
That's just one interpretation, of course. Evans could just as easily spark a story about how hometown fans overvalue prospects, or why the perceived value of platoon hitters has diminished, or a nostalgic piece about previous modestly talented Mets who became folk heroes, or a column about what players on the bubble do while they wait to learn about their fate. (Did Evans check Twitter himself? Even if he didn't, pretty soon someone in his situation will.) Heck, one could even take the wait for waiver news and use it to ponder changes in sportswriting. Sometimes the buzz around even a minor story reveals that something's changed – if you know where to look, and take the time to do so.

I live in Washington State. I am a current student to be a Paralegal. I have a 2 year old boy and I just recently stopped seeing my baby's father we are not married however, he is a drug addict with his current girlfriend and he tells people I don't allow him to see his son which is not true. I didn't let him see his son once and that was it he doesn't come around or call at all and he is always in town from what I have been hearing. I would like to know if I would be able to get full custody of my son so I don't have to be scared to be in town with him and my baby's dad find us and take him and not bring him back. I have a bad feeling that if I let my son go with his father that I would never see my son again there's alot of talk and speculation of things about my baby's dad. I do not trust him or his girlfriend being a former drug user with my baby's dad I know he operates on the drug. I am unaware of my baby's dad residence. Please help me. Is there a way I can get custody of my son?
Custody with drug addict
Posted 12 November 2011 - 04:22 PM
Posted 13 November 2011 - 12:50 AM
I presume that by "full custody" you mean sole custody. If you are studying to be a paralegal, you need to learn and use the correct terminology.
When a child is born out of wedlock, the mother is presumed to have sole legal and physical custody until there's a court order that says otherwise. Has the father proven up his paternity in court and otained a formal, enforceable custody and support order ("parenting plan") that specifies his and your respective rights and obligations? His name on the birth certificate is not by itself sufficient to give him any enforceable parental rights. Until he does, you get to call all the shots regarding visitation.
That said, I strongly urgbe you to take the initiative if he has not, and get a parenting plan in place. It's in your own est intersts as well as your child's. A local family law attorney can help you out. Good luck!
Posted 13 November 2011 - 08:37 AM
Thanks but I already new the correct terminology I was in a hurry when I posted didn't think I needed to correct myself.
He is on the birth certificate he did not establish paternity from what I was told by some people here that if he is on the birth certificate that he does have parental rights. At the time this situation started I didn't have any safe place to be at all. I don't trust him or his girlfriend considering some of the stuff that they have been involved in around my city. I have talked to the sheriffs and they told me to get a protection order but I can't get the protection order without a threat for mine or my son's safety. So thanks for the advice hopefully I will find a way to make that happen.
Posted 13 November 2011 - 12:02 PM
My reply is strictly based on my son's experience having not been married to the mother of his children, the mother is assumed to be the custodial parent. As far as the visitation goes, have you contacted your local juvenile court with your concerns? Sometimes they can assign a mediator to hear your case and help set up visitation, I recommend supervised visitation if you believe he is using. In Tennessee, the courts would ask him to submit to a drug screen the day you go for mediation. Visitation is for the parent, not the current girlfriend to see the child. Maybe supervised visitation with a trusted family member on the father's side could be an option as having to take a child to a court building is not an ideal place for them to spend time together.
If you have concerns that he will try to harm you if you withhold visitation, you can always file an order of protection. The judge will give it to you without much evidence having to be presented and you can include the minor child in the order until you set up supervised visitation.
Its important for your child to have both parents in its life if at all possible but never go against your gut feelings. Good luck!

MON one year on
by Andrew Lisgo
Manager looks back on almost 12 months in charge.
It is almost one year to the day that Martin O'Neill took charge of the Black Cats and Sunday's game against Norwich City will see him take charge of Sunderland for the 38th Barclays Premier League game.
O'Neill took over at the helm on December 3, 2011 before leading his side to a 2-1 home victory over Blackburn Rovers in his first game in charge.
Looking back on his first year at the club, the manager says it has been a tough but enjoyable year on Wearside:
"I have enjoyed it, I have enjoyed it immensely," he said. I was asked the question not so long ago 'how did it feel when you were starting out in management' - of course that was a fairly lengthy time ago, but yes it's been very enjoyable and almost exactly what I thought the job would be.
"It hasn't disappointed in that aspect but it's been tough since day one. Maybe things will be a little bit smoother in the not-too-distant future."
In his first month in charge of the Black Cats, O'Neill was rewarded for an impressive start with December's Barclays Manager of the Month award but he admits that despite a magical start to his reign, things were always going to take time:
"I think that it was interesting what Harry Redknapp said the other day, that he didn't deliver magic wands," he explained.
"I think that people are now expecting QPR just to rise from the ashes but it's just not as simple as that.
"I came in here last year and spirit was still pretty strong, results hadn't been great but that said there was still plenty of light at the end of tunnel.
"We got results early on - good results that tended to maybe gloss over one or two of our weaknesses - and I think that we just need a little bit of strength in depth and we'll be perfectly alright."
O'Neill's side have notched 47 points in the top flight since his arrival, which equals the Black Cats' best return in one Premier League season since Peter Reid was in charge.
Fast forward to the present, though, and the manager admits he had hoped for a few more points at this stage of the campaign:
"We would have obviously liked to have a few more points on the board, that's pretty obvious," he said.
"It's been tough for a number of teams - most managers in our positions outside the top six or seven football teams do have different agendas.
"They have certain targets. You reach those targets as quickly as you possibly can and I don't think you can ever rest comfortably at all until you have reached the 40-point mark.
"I think that's almost a given and there are a number of teams there separated by very few points. It's a tough old business."

Do-it-(mostly) yourself RCC paving
An Illinois public works department saves money with roller-compacted concrete. The material achieves high strength more quickly than conventional concrete pavement mixes.
Products from CONEXPO-CON/AGG
The editors of Public Works found lots of new construction equipment and accessories at the giant trade show to share with readers.
"We need to begin work immediately on a long-term authorization that builds on the strengths of MAP-21 and provides a sustainable revenue source to avert a looming funding shortfall," says Treadway.
John Davis agrees, saying funding the next highway bill should be pursued "as aggressively as possible."
The APWA and National Association of County Engineers are asking that the next highway bill:
In the meantime, educate and inform residents and elected officials about the critical need for revenue to fix aging local infrastructure. "Make it a personal mission by making sure folks are as informed as they can be," says Kathleen Davis.
Moving ahead in the 21st century continues to mean doing more while working with less. As owners of half the nation's bridges and three-quarters of its roads, local public works departments have a lot at stake. You need to not only fight on for funding, but for common sense policies that truly move America forward.
Michael Porcaro is an Illinois-based free-lance writer who has more than three decades of experience in road construction. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
Before the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) became law, FHWA worked with the American Public Works Association (APWA) and the National Association of County Engineers (NACE) on plans for implementing the federal agency's follow-up to Every Day Counts (EDC): EDC-2.
Both were invited to participate in nationwide summits and peer exchanges. As a result of the input, EDC-2 includes a "Locally Administered Federal-Aid Projects" initiative designed to help local public agencies through the complexities of highway program's requirements.
A three-pronged strategy encourages state DOTs to implement:
FHWA also developed free online "Federal-aid Essentials" training videos that include printable resources and links to applicable regulations.

How do I connect with my boyfriend now that I am pregnant.
Im 17 weeks pregnant and he's completely lost touch with me. We hardly have sex and his affection levels dropped completely. He doesnt seem interested when I tell him things about the baby. He says maybe once he see's an ultrasound or the baby comes it'll fully hit him. But in the mean time, Im suffering and Im alone. Ive started sleeping in the guest bedroom. Im starting to get depressed. I really need him to jump on board with me on this. I want to believe he's stressed from buying a house, but to completely shut me down, it cant be the only thing. Please help.

We actually werent planning the baby. I was on birthcontrol and he wasnt using a condom. I had actually thought I couldnt get pregnant. We've actually been talking about it alot lately and he's finally calming down. We've been going out on dates and even group dates. We find out what we're having on saturday. Its his first ultrasound and Im hoping once he sees our baby dance around my little tummy, he'll understand my excitement.posted 07/10/2012 by apoirier23
It could very well be that your BF is stressed with finances, especially if you two just bought a home. This doesn't excuse how he's treating you, but goes a long way towards explaining it. You need to sit him down and tell him how you feel.posted 06/29/2012 by FaerieQueenofSnark
where you planning the baby?posted 06/28/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Thoughts on Naysayers
Tuesday, October 02, 2012
I have a big detractor in my working out. She tends to demean my every effort, encourage me to eat badly, and sneers at my mere mentioning of working out. If she asks me what I'm doing later, I have to substitute "run some errands" for "work out" if I want to avoid either silence or a tirade on how I don't need to lose weight.
I've been thinking a lot lately about how I feel stifled when I talk to her, like I can't mention anything going on in my life because she has such a short fuse and gets upset so easily. I want to be compassionate and open with her, but even compassion and kindness upsets her. I was ready to throw up my hands and walk away.
It occurs to me that we all find ourselves faced with these sorts of people. They aren't stereotypical villains or characters designed as foils to add a sense of triumph to our journey. They're real people who have very real lives, who feel emotions and have hopes and dreams. Often times they're family members or coworkers, people who we care about and want to support us in our personal improvements. Why, then, would they want to discourage us?
To say that people are just jealous is an incomplete answer to a complex issue. In my situation, the woman in question feels as though her life is not as glamorous or as meaningful as she'd hoped. She feels as though people judge her decisions and think less of her, that she has to fight for every iota of respect people extend to her. She paints the canvas of her past as a harsh and cutting tale of the world constantly turned against her. She absolves herself of all personal responsibility for decisions she regrets.
She is heartbroken. Life isn't what she so desperately wanted it to be and every wild, dramatic effort she takes to make it what she dreams has failed. I do not judge her for any of these things and I wish she could see that. I wish that all the people who try to jump in front of us, who try to drag us down because they're so afraid we'll leave them behind, could see that we're more than happy to run beside them, if only they would put on their running shoes and come outside to join us.

Nov. 3, 2009
LOS ANGELES - UCLA Athletics hosted the Marathon Kids Kick Off Celebration on Saturday, Oct. 24, as approximately 5,000 kindergarten through fifth graders, their families, teachers and volunteers were in attendance at Drake Stadium to officially begin the goal of running or walking 26.2 miles over the next five months.
During the five-month period, children accompanied by their parents will run or walk quarter to half-mile segments towards their goal of the marathon distance of 26.2 miles. In addition to the running, Marathon Kids are encouraged to eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day for 26.2 days each month as part of the nutrition program. The program concludes with the Final Mile Medal Celebration at Drake Stadium on Saturday, March 6, 2010. Approximately 15,000 Los Angeles-area children are registered for this year's event.
In its fourth year in Los Angeles, Marathon Kids is a free program open to all groups of children who are in the kindergarten to fifth-grade school range in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills, Redondo Beach and Long Beach school districts, as well as private schools and home-schooled children. The program targets kids who are most vulnerable to childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes.

Personal information, like Social Security numbers and credit card numbers, is supposed to be kept private. We feel that this is a fairly easy concept to understand. But when we log into Twitter and take a look around, our faith in humanity crumbles. Why?
Because every day, dozens of Twitter users upload pictures of their credit and debit cards to the massive social network without censoring the information on the card face. We're not kidding – this is something that people actually do. And quite frankly, we're flabbergasted. Posting your credit and debit account numbers to one of the world's largest social networks is so irresponsible that it gives us a migraine just thinking about it. When you do it, you're giving any hacker in the world all the data he needs to steal your identity.
And yet, pictures of credit and debit cards just keep popping up. In fact, they're so prevalent on Twitter that there's now an account devoted solely to exposing them to the public. It's called @NeedaDebitCard, and if you aren't following it yet, you really should be.
Every day @NeedaDebitCard trawls the Twittersphere for posts containing uncensored images of credit and debit cards. It then retweets them to its followers. Since its creation on May 25, the account has published more than 60 compromising photos, revealing a level of ignorance among America's Internet users that we didn't think was possible.
"So I kinda broke my debit card," said one user, who uploaded a picture of his cracked-in-half card. The numbers, name and expiration date were visible.
"My debit card is [expletive] cute, [expletive]," said another, who posted a photo of a pink card with images of diamonds on it.
Another woman tweeted a picture of her daughter holding her platinum card. The accompanying caption reads, "Gave the birthday girl my credit card her for [sic] Bday. Go nuts bbgirl!"
Oversharing like this is especially dangerous when you're doing it with your debit card. Unlike credit cards, debit cards give thieves a direct line to your checking account – so when money is stolen, it will be yours, not your bank's. And since debit cards aren't protected by the CARD Act, you can still be held partially liable for the theft. If you don't report your losses within two days, your bank can charge you $500 to get your money back. If you don't report a breach within two months, your bank doesn't have to give your money back at all.
However, there is a silver lining to this cloud. For all of the fuss it's causing, it appears to be getting the message across to Twitter users. The account is starting to receive national media coverage. The LA Times and Mashable have mentioned it. As a result, the number of users who follow @NeedaDebitCard has more than doubled in the last few days.
Besides raising public awareness about risky tweeting, the Twitter account also appears to be making an impact on these crazy posters as well. The account's most recent retweets lead to dead links, suggesting that people are wising up and removing compromising posts.
It may not be the hero that Twitter users need right now, but @NeedaDebitCard is certainly the one that they deserve. The Internet today is an important part of our lives. It'll become more so over time, and identity theft is only going to get worse. American consumers must get literate with online privacy, and they need to do it fast. If a tweet-induced account theft is what it takes for some folks to learn that the Internet isn't safe, so be it. Learning the hard way is better than not learning at all. Wouldn't you agree?

2013 All-Pac-12 Conference Team | Purchase Tickets Online
NCAA Los Angeles Regional Central | UCLA Baseball on Facebook
Walnut Creek, Calif. - Sophomore reliever David Berg and junior shortstop Pat Valaika picked up Pac-12 honors today, with Berg being named the conference Pitcher of the Year and Valaika securing Defensive Player of the Year honors. In addition, Berg and Valaika were named to the All-Conference team along with junior pitchers Adam Plutko and Nick Vander Tuig.
Berg is the third UCLA pitcher all-time to win the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year award (Trevor Bauer, 2011; Pete Janicki, 1992), and the second UCLA pitcher to earn the honor in the last three years. The Covina, Calif. native has posted a record of 6-0 with 18 saves in 2013, while leading the nation in ERA with a 0.70 mark. Berg's 18 saves are also a new UCLA single-season record and rank third in all of Division I baseball. In addition, he is second in the country in WHIP (walks and hits per innings pitched) with a mark of 0.78.
This is the second time in his career that Berg has been named to the All-Pac-12 team, making him just the 25th UCLA player all-time to receive all-conference acclaim at least twice. Berg has allowed the lowest opposing batting average (.190) and fewest runs (5), walks (7) and hits (43) in the Pac-12, all while appearing in the most games in the conference (41) as well. At one point this season, he did not allow a run in 37 consecutive innings, which was the longest consecutive scoreless innings streak in the nation this season. Finally, Berg is also a semifinalist for the NCBWA Dick Howser Trophy and the Golden Spikes Award and earlier this season was selected to the National Pitcher of the Year watch list.
Valaika becomes the first UCLA player to win Defensive Player of the Year honors from the conference. The Valencia, Calif. native has started every single game at shortstop for the Bruins this year, committing only five errors in 174 chances all season. His five errors are also tied for the fewest by any shortstop in the Pac-12. At the plate, Valaika is third on the team with a .262 average while leading UCLA in doubles (13), triples (3), home runs (5), RBI (39), slugging percentage (.421) and multi-hit games (17). He is also one of 14 candidates up for the Brooks Wallace Shortstop of the Year Award. This is the first time that Valaika has been named to the All-Pac-12 team in his career.
Plutko received All-Conference honors for the third year in a row, joining Garrett Atkins (1998-2000), Bauer (2009-11) and Dennis Delany (1976-78) as the only UCLA players to earn All-Conference acclaim three times. Plutko owns a record of 7-3 this season, logging a 2.60 ERA and 71 strikeouts in 97 innings pitched. Serving as UCLA's Friday starter all season, the junior-right-hander has allowed just a .207 batting average against him, the fourth-lowest opposing average in the Pac-12. In his three-year career, Plutko is tied for third on UCLA's all-time career wins list with 26 victories and is currently tied with Josh Karp for eighth on the Bruins' all-time strikeout list, logging 262 strikeouts.
Vander Tuig received All-Pac-12 honors for the first time in his career after posting a 10-4 record with a 2.30 ERA during the regular season. The right-hander from Oakdale, Calif. has been outstanding all year, leading the Bruins in strikeouts (74) and allowing just 14 walks all season. His 10 wins are also tied for fourth-most in the conference. In Pac-12 play, Vander Tuig went 7-2 in 10 conference starts, logging a 2.35 ERA and two complete games. Additionally, he has thrown at least six innings in 13 of his 15 starts thus far.
In addition to UCLA's four All-Conference selections, junior outfielder Brian Carroll and sophomore infielder Kevin Kramer were named to the honorable mention team. Carroll finished the regular season with 29 stolen bases in 36 attempts, good for second-most in the conference. His 29 stolen bases are also the most by a UCLA player since Eric Byrnes had 30 in 1998. Carroll leads the Bruins in runs scored with 40 and is second on the team with a .375 on-base percentage. Kramer leads UCLA in multiple hitting categories, including on-base percentage (.407), batting average (.290), hits (61) and hit by pitches (14).
Oregon State took home the conference's other three major honors, with Michael Conforto winning Pac-12 Player of the Year, Andrew Moore Freshman of the Year and Pat Casey Coach of the Year.
UCLA (39-17) opens up postseason play on Friday evening against San Diego State (31-29) in the NCAA Los Angeles Regional. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m. at Jackie Robinson Stadium.

Destiny is inching closer to release, and now we have a huge tease: according to the official Destiny website, players can "pre-order Destiny at select retailers and receive admission to the Destiny Beta."
A Reddit user noticed the text, which has now been erased from the Destiny website, but still appears in Google's cache. Another post on Reddit pointed to the pre-order message appearing only on the UK and Canadian versions of the site. No official retailers are listing Destiny anywhere, even the big boys like Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Walmart in the U.S. don't mention Destiny pre-orders just yet.

11/19/2010 Freedom Watch w/ Rick Perry, Geraldo Rivera, Lou Dobbs, more
Here is tonight's edition of Freedom Watch. Enjoy!
Here is tonight's edition of Freedom Watch. Enjoy!
Sickening, but we get SO much new material for the Judge's next show on a daily basis! Good thing his show is now daily!
Cybersecurity bill gives DHS power to punish tech firms http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-20023464-38.htm…
Rick Perry talks a good game, but he's not a small-government guy. He just wants the state government to be able to dictate all the things the federal government shouldn't.
Example One: his attempt to force, by executive order, that every middle school aged girl in Texas be required to take Gardasil, an unproven vaccine of questionable safety. The Texas legislature was in session, and overturned Perry's executive order.
One has to wonder what influence Merck has in the governor's mansion, in order to foist such a controversial program onto Texas schools, especially since the overwhelming public outrage caused the Legislature to overturn in.
I don't disagree with Perry about much, but neither do I trust him.
Rick Perry is an effing fraud! He sold his state out to a spanish company to run the tolls on the texas trans corridor, the guy is a globalist
Perry has also taken hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign donations from the alcohol industry, and denies people the right to choose to use cannabis, a safer alternative to alcohol. According to the non profit, non partisan Followthemoney.org, Perry has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars from the alcohol industry to support the passing of HB 1199, a bill that makes it easier for alcohol industry front groups to advertise in so called "dry counties."
Yesterday evening I proposed to do a TSA pat-down on a young lady who is not so politically informed. She did NOT know what the TSA pat-down consisted of. When I explained them to her and how I was going to conduct the search in detail she became sexually-aroused in no uncertain terms.
So…From my unique perspective, I would humbly submit that the TSA pat-down IS sexual in nature as it has the ability, in a neutral situation, to illicit a sexual-response.
And indeed the TSA pat-down is a sexual assault. And those conducting it should be charged appropriately.
Interesting. I didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up. He does talk a good game. He mentioned the US Constitution, but not the Bill of Rights. Perhaps he missed the security of your Person part. I don't know him that well.
Texas in general does not give a damn about the Constitution. It's a right-wing christian enclave, no more beholden to the Constitution than New Jersey or New York, just in opposite matters. If Texas could, they would reinstate Jim Crow laws, and lump gays in with the colored people for good measure.
The French woman says that the French socialist government is heavily in the red financially, and what, the capitalist US government isn't, is she crazy.
Perry is tricky…his words were right on, but as Debra Medina pionted out in their first debate this past spring, he was Al Gores Campaign manager in the 80's. He replied…"Like Ronald R…. I now know where I stand, those days are behind me"! 16th and 17th ammendments, he was told what they were while ghost writing his book, he didn't know! His opposition for Governor wanted to end all private property tax…he opposed!
Ron Paul is from Texas! Many of his supporters are from TX! If the BIG Government ever tries to take your guns, most TX farm boys will be there to shoot them on your behalf! Biggoted…a little, GOP-leaning…a little, Palin loving…a little, US loving…A LOT! Not the pure pride of America, but not its worst elament either!
Isn't Geraldo supposed to be a reporter? I find it strange that he says he didn't think there was anything wrong with building 7 collapsing in on itself until he saw the commercial?? Come on..the 911 truthers have been saying that all along. I wonder what the real reason is for his change of heart?

College Hockey:US To Face Russia In Bronze Medal Game After Loss To Canada
PARDUBICE, Czech Republic — The U.S. National Junior Team will play for the bronze medal in the 2008 International Ice Hockey Federation World Junior Championship against Russia after a 4-1 loss to Canada in the semifinals of the tournament.
"Canada played a great game," said U.S. Head Coach John Hynes. "Our guys will refocus and be ready to play tomorrow. We have a chance to win back-to-back medals in this tournament for the first time in the history of our country."
Canada took the lead at 2:46 of the second period when Shawn Matthias scored from just outside the crease after an end-wall feed from Matthew Halischuk. Then at 10:00, Karl Alzner fired one home from the top of the left circle on the power play. Team USA had a 13-to-6 shots on goal advantage in the period with Max Pacioretty's (Michigan) rebound chance in front 11 minutes into the stanza among them. Team USA's penalty-killing unit foiled :41 of a two-man Canada advantage late in the period to keep the game within reach after 40 minutes.
With goals by Gillies and Brad Marchand at 7:04 and 7:24, Canada took control of the game. James vanRiemsdyk (New Hampshire) banged one in from the right of Canada netminder Steve Mason at 13:26 to account for the lone U.S. goal of the contest. Mike Carman (Minnesota) gained an assist on the play.
Smith had 20 saves for Team USA, while Mason made 33 stops for Canada.

I'm new to this community. It's very comforting knowing that others are going through the same process. I desperately need some advice... none of my friends or family members know what i'm going through....
First IUI, i was started on Gonal-F 75unit on CD 2-5, then 112 units; at the time of trigger, one 21mm and 16mm follicles on right side (none on left). i had LH surge at that time, so i was given the trigger shot in the office at 9am; IUI the next am at 9am and the 21mm follicle was already gone. I had a BFN.
This time, i was on gonal F 150 units on CD 2-5, and reduced to 112 units until now. I have two 15 mm follicles on left side (which i have no tube), and one 17mm and one 13 mm on the right today (CD8). My RE anticipates to trigger on Tuesday or Wed; and IUI on wed or thurs. If i haven't ovulated on the IUI day; she'll do a 2nd IUI the next day.
Should i do IUI this month since most likely i have only 1 follicle? If so, should i do the trigger shot later on the day, so won't ovulate before the IUI? i think i'll have better chance if we do one IUI before ovulation and one after.
Thank you very much for your input.

A ruling yesterday by the U.S. 10th District Court of Appeals blocks Internet TV streaming company Aereo from operating in several Western states.
The decision by District Judge Dale Kimball affects Oklahoma, Kansas, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and parts of Montana and Idaho.
The order keeps Aereo from operating in the affected states at least until April, when the U.S. Supreme Court takes up the case. The company has won most of its other court cases, including one in the 2nd District District Court of Appeals, covering Connecticut, Vermont and New York. Aereo currently offers its service in several major metropolitan areas, including New York City, Boston, Atlanta, San Antonino, Miami and Houston.
Aero uses antennas to grab broadcast television signals, which it then offers its subscribers over the Internet for around $8 a month. Subscribers get their local broadcast channels plus the Bloomberg financial channel using Internet connected computers, set-top boxes and mobile devices. Customers can also record and store shows on Aereo's "Cloud DVR" - a virtual video recorder stored on the company's servers rather than on a physical device located in someone's home.
TV stations have argued that the company steals their signals - getting for free what cable and satellite companies must pay for, and selling those signals at a profit.
Aereo CEO and Founder Chet Kanojia said in a statement last month of the U.S. Supreme Court's pending review, "We believe that consumers have a right to use an antenna to access over-the-air television and to make personal recordings of those broadcasts. The broadcasters are asking the Court to deny consumers the ability to use the cloud to access a more modern-day television antenna and DVR. If the broadcasters succeed, the consequences to consumers and the cloud industry are chilling."
Aereo closed on $34 million in additional financing last month from several venture capital firms.

Auto Sales Jump in Japan
TOKYO—Japan's auto sales surged 92% in April from a year earlier, sustaining a strong upward trend as government subsidies helped accelerate the recovery in demand from the lows seen after last year's natural disasters.
Japan's domestic sales of new cars, trucks and buses swelled to 208,977 vehicles from 108,824 a year earlier in April, outstripping the 78% jump in March with the eighth straight month of increase, the Japan Automobile Dealers Association said Tuesday. The figures don't include sales of mini cars and trucks.
While sales bounced back from the 51% plunge seen a year earlier in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami, they failed to reach the pre-quake level of 222,095 posted in April 2010.
Still, the upbeat domestic sales figures for the first month of the new business year will fan optimism that Japanese car makers will continue to regain sales momentum after the disruptions of last year caused by the natural disasters in Japan and Thailand.
To help Japanese car makers struggling with the yen's strength, the government is offering a total of ¥300 billion ($3.8 billion) in subsidies to those who buy fuel-efficient cars between Dec. 20 last year and the end of January next year.
Customers will receive subsidies of either ¥70,000 or ¥100,000 per vehicle until the allocated budget runs out.
As executives at auto makers expect the current strong appetite for the subsidies to use up the budget by around the summer, car companies are bracing for a sales drop when the program comes to an end.
"It's inevitable we'll see adverse effects," Honda Motor Co. Executive Vice President Tetsuo Iwamura said at a press conference for the company's latest earnings on Friday.
The car maker hopes to counter the likely reversal with the recently launched and partially redesigned StepWGN minivan, along with persistent sales of the Freed compact minivan, he said.
Honda said it plans to boost domestic sales by 21% to 710,000 vehicles in the current fiscal year to March 2013.
Toyota Motor Corp. and Nissan Motor Co. are expected to outline plans to boost sales in the home market when they report their latest earnings next week.
Among Japan's top three car makers, Toyota posted the biggest percentage gain in April, with sales nearly tripling to 102,550 vehicles. Sales of its upscale Lexus brand more than doubled to 3,456.
Honda marked the second largest growth with a 61.5% rise to 30,561 vehicles.
Nissan sold 26,396 vehicles in April, up 51.6% from the same month last year.

Basements aren't just a place for a sprawling family room. Some homeowners transform them into small apartments to rent for extra income or to house a family member so they'll have privacy and their own entrance. If you're a homeowner who's planning to create a basement apartment, you should outfit it with quality home goods that will have long-lasting wear. Hardwood floors, from Anderson's Dellamano collection, for instance, never lose their appeal.
Basement apartments may lack the natural light of upper-level living, but they stay cool in summer and cozy in winter when chilly wind may seep through windows. The right colors and room design can take these spaces to a new aesthetic level as well.
With less sunlight, your walls and ceilings need to be lighter and brighter to take away the dark, dank look associated with basements. The Dellamano wood tones and finishes will add a warmth to any decor. They're also made of engineered wood, which is several layers of wood compressed together for extra toughness.
Color and light
When it comes to brightening up a space and compensating for the lack of sunshine, what you choose for lighting becomes more important. Use different types of fixtures - task lamps, overhead lighting, sconces or track lights - to complement the various rooms of the apartment. Choose compact fluorescent bulbs and light-emitting diodes for energy efficiency and because they may cast a light that's more natural looking.
For walls, use light, airy colors that reflect light well, give the illusion of more space and are versatile enough to go with any accent colors. Bright white has a more contemporary feel, while antique white and creamy shades with a yellow undertone suit traditional home design well.
Decorative space
There's often more wall space in a basement apartment than in the upper levels of a dwelling. This gives the resident more space for shelving, mirrors and artwork. One bonus that comes with mirrors is the ability to make the space look larger and spread the light further.
If you're decorating the apartment yourself, aim for furnishings that are fairly simple so the person who moves in will be able to accentuate the furniture with artwork and decorative items that reflect their taste. Just as neutral wall colors are easier to decorate around, furniture that goes with modern or traditional decor will provide more versatile choices.

Rising Bird Inc is committed to provide each and every
client the maximum attention and support!
Such commitments to helping others are rarely found today.
Our relationship with our clients is different from what you
may expect. Seeking a financial consultant that provides full
dedication can be stressful. We promise to work with our
best efforts, leveraging our knowledge and experience, to
provide excellent service to you. It may be difficult to find
anyone who cares more about their client's success.
What can be more devastating than to have a vision, but
no funds to make it a reality?
That is why it is important to
know someone who will devote special time and effort for the
needs of each individual client. Rising Bird Inc is a financial
consulting firm established to help new and existing businesses
find funds for expansion, acquisition, and operations. From
services industries to high-tech and real estate, we take a
creative approach to find strategies, partners and funding to help
clients reach their financial goals.
