|TCA Winter Press Tour: Hallmark Channel

|Bailee's First 2016 Tumblr Post
| Bailee wrote yet another inspiring Tumblr post. This one is titled "we CAN. be KIND." and it reminds us to be positive and thankful for what we have. I highly recommend that you read the entire post, because Bailee shared some great advice in it. Remember that she loves reading your feedback, so tweet her your thoughts at @BaileeMadison using the hashtags #WeCanBeKind and #IWantWhatIHave.
Today I saw a trending topic called #WhatIWantThatICantHave. To me, saying that we "can't have" something is lowering our expectations for what we believe we deserve, or "can have." I saw tweets tonight with the hashtag saying things like: "#WhatIWantThatICantHave a healthy-non abusive relationship" "#WhatIWantThatICantHave self love" "#WhatIWantThatICantHave People who care about me" This hurt me. I just wanted to just hug those people and tell them that they CAN have those things. They DESERVE them, and they WILL have them. We can't tell ourselves that we "can't". We need to start telling ourselves, and each other, that we "can". And we will. Some things take time. Some things hurt. And some things only happen if they're truly meant to, and they will happen at the the right time.

The Library Bar inside the Warwick Melrose Hotel has concocted some Super Bowl-centric cocktails for Super Bowl week. The below drinks are available now through Sunday.
The Red Zone Hail Mary
This bloody mary spinoff starts with Grey Goose Vodka and adds house-made bloody mary mix, fresh lime juice and Tabasco. The glass is rimmed with celery salt and garnished with celery, pepperoncini and an olive.
The Grid Iron
This is an absurdly sweet and fancy drink for such an imposing name. At least it's green like a football field. Grey Goose L' Poire, Midori and Green Apple Pucker are combined with muddled cucumber.
All out Blitz
Southern Comfort is paired with Cointreau, fresh lemon juice, orange juice and a splash of Grenadine.
The XLV Super Bowl
This bowl o' booze throws in everything but the bar sink. Vodka, rum, gin, brandy, triple sec, white wine, and fruit juices are combined with a bit of Sprite and fresh fruit. It's like a Long Island Sangria.
$24 for two people / $44 for four

SEATTLE -- No. 5 Washington men's soccer will wrap up the non-conference season on Friday with SMU coming to the Husky Soccer Stadium. The game time is set for 4 p.m. to accommodate the Pac-12 Networks broadcast.
Washington is one of six remaining unbeaten teams in the country with a record of 5-0-2. The Dawgs ascended to No. 5 in the most recent NSCAA poll. For the season, UW has scored 16 goals, while allowing just three. The Huskies are 11th in the nation, scoring 2.29 goals per game and fourth in goals against, allowing just 0.40 per game.
The Dawgs have been led all season by the stellar defense. In addition to the four shutouts and allowing just a single goal in the other three games, Washington has had the majority of its scoring from defenders. Of the Huskies 16 goals, nine have been scored by the starting backline. Taylor Peay leads the way with four goals, while Justin Schmidt and Michael Harris each have two and Andy Thoma has one.
In goal, Ryan Herman has done well since taking over for the injured Spencer Richey, earning two shutouts and allowing just a single goal as the starter. For the season, Herman has a 0.53 goals against average and has made 11 saves.
Offensively, the Dawgs have had contributions from all over the field. James Moberg leads the team with five assists, while fellow central midfielder Ian Lange has contributed two goals. Darwin Jones leads the team with 27 shots, but has been a bit unlucky to only have one goal so far.
SMU comes to Seattle with a record of just 2-5-0, but has won two of its past three. The Mustangs have played a difficult schedule that included one-goal losses to both Indiana and Notre Dame, teams that were ranked in the top-10 at the time.
For the season, SMU has allowed just eight goals, but scored only five. Alfred Koroma leads the team with three goals, while Deshawon Nembhard has two assists. Washington last played SMU in 2007, defeating the Mustangs, 2-0.
Following the home game SMU, the Dawgs will face a tough roadtrip to the Bay Area to begin Pac-12 play. Washington opens conference play at Stanford, followed by a showdown with No. 2 California. Both games will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Networks.

Saved By (De)Jesus
Put simple, the Twins stunk again tonight…in nearly aspect of the game. Kevin Slowey was roughed up for 5 earned runs over four innings, while Reyes and Guerrier also had their own struggles in relief. The bats were held in check (even after loading the bases with no outs in the fourth inning) until they produced two garbage-time runs in the ninth, shortly before the raucous celebration above began.
Of course, in the division (AL Central) that nobody wants to win, the White Sox gave the Twins another reprieve when they lost in Kansas City, partly due to an inside-the-park homer from David DeJesus.
I am so disgusted by the Twins' play of late that this is all I have to say tonight. I'm not giving up until the Twins are a mathimatical impossibility to win the division, but it has been tough to watch as of late.
Preview (83-72, 2.5 GB CWS): Francisco Liriano (5-3, 3.62) vs. Andy Sonnanstine (13-7, 4.33). With Cisco on the mound, the Twins should be given a decent chance to win…if they can take advantage.

It has been reported today (Mar. 20) that Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones is in seclusion following the death of his longtime girlfriend, L'Wren Scott, who committed suicide on Monday, Mar.17, 2014 in her apartment in Manhattan.
Jagger is currently in Perth, Australia, along with his bandmates of the Rolling Stones, who were on a concert tour. The band cancelled their performance for Wednesday night, as well as the remaining of the tour due to Scott's death.
Jagger has not come out of his hotel room at the Hyatt Regency since Monday when he first learned of his girlfriend's suicide. The entire band is staying at the same four star hotel and trying their best to console their friend. The medical team for The Rolling Stones is traveling with the band and keeping a watchful eye on Jagger's condition.
L'Wren Scott, 49, was a famous fashion designer with A-list clients, including Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Sandra Bullock and even the First Lady, Michelle Obama. Scott's business had been failing for some time and at the time of her death she was approximately $6 million in debt.
Scott's suicide was a shock to all, and has knocked the sail out of Mick Jagger totally. At present time, it is unknown as to when he will recover and the fate of The Rolling Stones remains uncertain at this time.

JOE CASEY: COMICS, DRUGS & CORN FLAKESInterview conducted by Jonathan Ellis
IntroductionInterview - Part 1Interview - Part 2Interview - Part 3Interview - Part 4Interview - Part 5Ill admit it, Joe Casey didnt always stand out to me.When Joe was writing Deathlok and had him fighting a clown, ehn, wasnt really for me. Then when Joe was writing The Incredible Hulk and had him going up against
the same clown
just wasnt feeling it. It was towards the end of the Mr. Majestic series and the beginning of the excellent Wildcats Serial Boxes storyline that his true potential really seemed to shine through to me. They were the type of stories that grab you, make you realize just how damn good they are then entice you for more. Around that time Id been chatting with Joe on and off, mainly in relation to his work with Charlie Adlard [Remember the DOOM: YEAR ONE pitch?], then we starting chatting with Joe directly. His work at the time was far surpassing what had come before, sure lots of people loved his run on Cable and his X-Men:Children Of The Atom mini-series was well received but it was his more mature works that allowed us to see his ability to stretch the medium and genre conventions for all they were worth. Here was someone with something to say, about the world, human interaction, About comics Through comics, most importantly, here was someone breaking through the clichés of what superhero comics had been to what they could be.Wildcats continued to growing acclaim, the excellent Automatic Kafka headlined the Eye Of The Storm imprint for Wildstorm Comics and his talent was recognized on wide as he was given the keys to the reigns of the Superman and X-Men franchises. Resulting in mixed feelings for some, completely new experiences for others and what has been acknowledged as one of the best Superman stories in years.Through it all, and when you read this interview youll notice, Joe not only stood out for the quality of his work but his downright love of the medium. Ive been doing this for quite some years now and Ive seen the cynicism, Ive seen the bile, Ive seen a wide range of the bad but Joes love for the medium and the way he expresses it through his work shows the good that still lives within these four colour fantasies we entertain ourselves with.Joe speaks frankly, writes good books and plays guitar
of course were going to interview him. Having writers like Joe and the others like him help make this whole industry worthwhile.I read Joe Casey comics because theyre bloody good.Try out some for yourself, read on to learn about three new series hitting stands this November and December: The Intimates with Jim Lee and Giuseppe Camuncoli from Wildstorm, Avengers: Earths Mightiest Heroes with Scott Kolins from Marvel and Infantry with Clement Sauve from Aftermath comics of Devils Due press.Enjoy.Jonathan EllisCo-Editor in Chief PopImage.comJoe Casey Illustration by Hope Larson and Bryan Lee O' Malley.IntroductionInterview - Part 1Interview - Part 2Interview - Part 3Interview - Part 4Interview - Part 5 Jonathan Ellis is Co-Editor in Chief of PopImageHope Larson is the up and coming superstar of the Alternative Press who's been gaining the praise of such talents as Michelle Tea, Lea Hernandez and Scott McCloud.

Bill Roser Jr. | The Gazette
When their country needed their service, Norman Bragiel, 85, and his son John, 41, answered the call.
The elder Bragiel joined the Merchant Marine at the end of World War II. His son served in the Army and did two tours of duty in Afghanistan.
Norman Bragiel was 15 in 1943 when he ran away from his home in Cleveland and doctored his birth certificate to get work on a Great Lakes freight carrier and obtain his seaman's papers.
As World War II was coming to a close, Bragiel went to New York City and joined up with the U.S. Army Transportation Service.
He was assigned to the Army transport ship David C. Shanks. When the war was over, sailing in waters that had been war-zone waters still was hazardous because of mines.
Bragiel's first stop was Marseille, France, to load and transport 1,500 American troops home to New York City.
The next voyage took Bragiel to Auckland, New Zealand, and Sydney, Australia, to pick up 1,500 war brides — Australian women who had married American servicemen — and bring them to the U.S.
After that, Bragiel and the David C. Shanks carried cargo to many ports of call, including the Philippines, Shanghai, China and Japan. The cargo included everything from beer to food and clothing. Cargo for the trip home included artillery shells and other ammunition.
After Bragiel left the U.S. Army Transportation Service in 1949, he sailed the Great Lakes on ore boats as an employee of the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Company.
As chief engineer on these ships, he was in charge of all the engines and electrical machinery. He retired in 1997.
Bragiel's son John, 41, was born and raised in Montville Township. A 1990 graduate of Highland High School, he played football under head coach Dave Poetter. He also ran track.
After graduation, Bragiel considered joining the military, but decided to give college a try and enrolled at the University of Akron.
He earned an associate's degree in criminal justice but had lost interest in pursuing a career in law enforcement. He went on to work at the Finest Supermarket in Cuyahoga Falls.
One morning in May 1999, Bragiel woke up and decided to join the Army. He was 27 years old.
"I didn't want to wake up five years from now and be saying to myself, 'woulda, coulda, shoulda,'" he said. "I was in a dead-end job.
"Looking back at it, I wish I had never gone to college and joined the military right out of high school," he said.
On July 22, 1999, Bragiel reported for basic training at Fort Benning, Ga.
The next step was advanced individual infantry training with the 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment at Fort Bragg, N.C., the 82nd Airborne Division.
Bragiel's first four years in the military were spent stateside. That changed on Sept. 11, 2001.
Briegel was just getting off security duty at Fort Bragg when a soldier came running out of his room at the barracks shouting, "Oh my God, look, look — put the TV on — a plane just hit the World Trade Center."
The soldiers watched as the second plane slammed into the second tower.
"And then we heard that the Pentagon got hit, and that another plane was also hijacked", Bragiel said. "This was obviously planned."
Bragiel signed up a second four-year hitch. He served in Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division in 2002-03, and then with the 173rd Airborne Brigade, based in Vicenza, Italy.
Bragiel said there was a time when his outfit was the target of daily mortar and rocket attacks. When he and his unit were on patrol, they had to be on high alert for enemy ambushes and attacks by insurgents. Improvised explosive devices were a constant, deadly threat.
Most of his combat experience took place in southeastern Afghanistan, close to the Pakistani border. His second deployment in Afghanistan was in 2005-06. He was honorably discharged from the Army in September 2006.
John Briegel now is a postal carrier. He and his wife, Barbara, live in Silver Lake Village in Summit County.
His father is a resident at the Western Reserve Masonic Community in Medina Township Both father and son have strong feelings about how fortunate Americans are.
"Today's young people don't understand how great it is to live in this country," the father said. "They take everything for granted."
The son agreed.
"I went into mountaintop villages that had no plumbing, no running water, no electricity. The roofs are thatched sticks with leaves," he said. The people wash up in a river. Their pigs, their donkeys live in the same rooms that they do."
"I remember coming through markets after going on missions in towns" he added. "There are chunks of meat for sale — not refrigerated— fly-covered and roasting in the sun. Some people in the big cities are a little better off. They have electricity, but there's tons of garbage in the streets.
"People have no idea what they have in this country."
John Bragiel also has strong convictions about the need for the U.S. military presence around the world.
"If anyone thinks we're not essential all over the world, go ahead and bring every American troop home out of Korea; bring every troop home out of the Mideast, Europe, the Bosnia Kosovo region, and just see what happens."

Some of the conditions our pediatric craniofacial & maxillofacial surgery team treats include:
- Cleft lip & cleft palate: Our surgeons are experienced in correcting all forms of cleft lip & cleft palate defects, working to establish normal feeding, speech, and appearance.
- Craniosynostosis: In craniosynostosis, the sutures--the connections between the bony plates of the skull--in an infant close too early, which can result in a misshapen head and pressure inside the skull. Treatment typically requires surgery to relieve pressure and restore head shape. Some cases of craniosynostosis are due to genetic syndromes like Apert syndrome and Crouzon syndrome, while other cases occur by chance (sporadically).
- Hemifacial microsomia: This condition causes one side of the face to not develop properly. Treatment usually requires an approach called distraction osteogenesis, which entails lengthening the facial bones with a device that is slowly adjusted over time to bring bones into the proper position. The device is then removed.
- Deformational or positional plagiocephaly: Plagiocephaly is a misshapen head due to repeated pressure to the same area of the head. Unlike craniosynostosis, plagiocephaly does not involve early closure of the sutures. Non-surgical treatments such as repositioning or wearing a specially designed helmet can restore head shape.
- Facial paralysis: Some syndromes, such as Bell's palsy, can cause partial paralysis of the face. Our pediatric plastic surgeons can perform facial reanimation by using nerve grafts and other techniques to improve facial movement and restore a child's ability to smile.
Hemangiomas, Vascular Malformations & Birthmarks
At Comer Children's, we take a multidisciplinary approach to treating large birthmarks, such as port wine stains and vascular malformations. Our pediatric surgeons work closely with pediatric dermatologists and other specialists to treat these problems. Many birthmarks can be successfully treated with laser therapy in an outpatient setting. Some very large birthmarks--known as congenital nevi--may require more sophisticated treatment using implantable balloons (tissue expanders) that expand tissue so that blemished skin can be removed in favor of birthmark-free skin.
Our surgeons have vast expertise in removing disfiguring hemangiomas and vascular malformations, including growths that may threaten normal breathing, eating, and vision. » Learn more about our interdisciplinary care for vascular anomalies.
Breast Deformities
Poland's syndrome and other conditions may result in the uneven or absent development of breast muscles and tissue. Plastic and reconstructive surgeons can greatly improve appearance by using implants and reconstructive surgery to fashion normal-looking breasts and nipples.
Teen girls with large breasts may benefit from breast reduction surgery. Male teens who develop enlarged breasts--called gynecomastia--can benefit from surgery to reduce breast and nipple size.
Ear Problems
Congenital problems such as aural atresia and microtia result in absent, small, or abnormally formed ears. In a combined effort, our pediatric plastic surgeons and pediatric otolaryngologists work together to treat these conditions. Otolaryngologists focus on improving hearing while plastic surgeons can construct the external (outer) ear using cartilage and skin grafts and other techniques.
Children with abnormally protruding ears or misshapen ears may also benefit from plastic and reconstructive surgery to improve appearance.
Children with severe burns are treated at the University of Chicago Burn and Complex Wound Center, a multidisciplinary burn injury program accredited by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons. This special program is housed in an eight-bed intensive care unit dedicated to comprehensive burn care. Our pediatric plastic surgeons are an integral part of this center, and can provide skin grafting and cosmetic reconstruction to treat burns.
Trauma Surgery
Traumatic injuries to the face may require a variety of treatments to restore appearance. Our plastic and reconstructive surgeons are experienced in reshaping bone and using implants to rebuild facial structures, as well as repairing soft tissue and skin.
Other traumatic injuries, including deep cuts and animal bites, can be treated with plastic surgery.
Scar Correction
Our team can perform a variety of procedures to reduce the appearance of scars, including keloid scars.
Aesthetic Surgery
Pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgeons can perform a wide variety of aesthetic procedures to improve appearance. These procedures include rhinoplasty (nose reshaping), blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), otoplasty (ear repositioning for prominent ears), and orthognathic surgery (jaw correction for jaw discrepancy and bite abnormalities), and genioplasty (chin repositioning surgery).
Support Services
At Comer Children's, children undergoing plastic and reconstructive surgery and their families have access to support services including child and adolescent psychiatrists, social workers, and child life experts that can help ease children's fears and help families cope before and after surgery.
In addition to providing expert patient care, our pediatric plastic and reconstructive surgeons are active in both clinical and laboratory research. Topics under study include wound healing, repair of craniofacial defects, tissue transplantation and tissue engineering, bone substitutes, survival of bone-cartilage grafts, and genetic expression in craniofacial development.

For Open Air Stereo's Nick Gross, the positive reception to his band's debut album Primates has been nice, but the way he sees it, you ain't seen nothing yet.
"We don't even view Primates as our debut album," said the drummer, who is joined by Chase Johnson, Scott Pounds, and Evan Smith in the Southern California group that makes a stop at the Bowery Electric in New York City on Thursday. "We look at it in our own heads as like a first EP to get people acclimated with Open Air Stereo. It was a matter of gaining some credibility, putting some stuff out, and we're really looking at this next record that we're gonna start making later this year as our debut album."
Work is already underway on that next album, and you can hear the quartet playing new material at their Big Apple stop, and while you may wonder what the rush is, there really isn't any. In fact, if you look at what they've been through so far, consider it making up for lost time right on time.
In the Reader's Digest version of the OAS story, the band was signed to a major record deal with Sony Epic and then featured on MTV's Laguna Beach show in 2006. What should have followed next was an album, tour, superstardom, and all that fun stuff. But instead, the band separated until 2011, when they finally got down to the business of being a band again. To put this in perspective, consider that when they were initially signed, Gross was getting ready to become a freshman in college.
"We got a record deal two weeks before I was supposed to start at USC," he laughs. "I've got my parents bringing me up to college and checking me into the dorm room, and then we get this record deal from Sony Epic, and they put us in a three-bedroom apartment in the center of Hollywood where we could do whatever we want and write music all the time, so I'm like 'okay, I'm obviously going to Hollywood to do stuff with my band.'"
USC got put on hold, and the OAS boys embraced their new life. But they just weren't ready for it.
"The school thing obviously didn't work out, and there was a lot of immaturity at the time," Gross admits. "When you're 18 and have a big record deal, a TV show, and stuff like that going on, we didn't have a strong focus, and we really didn't understand a lot about the music business. What is music publishing, why are we writing with all these different writers? There was no, 'We need to finish a record, why is this taking a year and a half?' We didn't ask those questions, and it was all over the place. We were young, and everyone was having a good time in LA, and we were not focused. It was amazing at the time, but looking back on it now, we realize what a mess we all were during that time."
Years, maturity, and the realization that they didn't want to make music with anyone else but each other brought the four back together, something Gross always knew would happen.
"I always knew we would reunite," he said. "It was about taking a breather from what we were doing, saying let's grow as people and focus on some other things so we can come back as a stronger band, and that's what I feel like we did."
And with a listen to Primates, you can safely say 'better late than never' for the hook-heavy rock band, who are now doing things the old-fashioned way, with touring, touring, and more touring.
"We've been a band for a long time, and I feel the intensity of everything picking up this year," said Gross. "It started last year when we went on our first national tour, but we're yet to become a full workhorse of a band, 24 hours a day all the time. We're growing into that more and more."
As for Primates, it's a work the band is proud of, not just as a solid collection of songs, but a souvenir of days gone by.
"It was great that we got to write those songs," during the band's first run. "Some of them made the Primates album, and we got to put out what we worked on when we were 18 years old, which was nice. And then we got some time to grow as people when the band split. Everything was meant to be – that's the way I look at it."

CLAIM: Kristen Stewart Living with Giovanni Agnelli
Kristen Stewart continues to be the target of flat-out wrong rumors started by outlets that seem to think her admitted indiscretion with Rupert Sanders somehow makes truthful reporting irrelevant.
Already this week we've seen totally bogus stories about Stewart being pregnant and supposedly fighting Robert Pattinson over his dog.
A new report from RadarOnline (which has been very busy posting grossly sensationalized Stewart stories) claims the actress has been staying with producer Giovanni Agnelli ever since leaving the home she shared with Pattinson.
According to the webloid's "source," Stewart has essentially shut herself off in Agnelli's house "in the trendy Sunset Plaza area" of Los Angeles.
Once RadarOnline planted the seed, the gang over at HollywoodLife took it to the next level, writing that Stewart is "shacking up" with her Welcome to the Rileys "director" Giovanni Agnelli.
Memo to HollywoodLife: Jake Scott directed Welcome to the Rileys.
Agnelli is a producer.
But why should silly little things like facts and accuracy get in the site's way when there's a hot rumor to run?
In any case, despite Agnelli's friendship with Stewart, she is NOT staying at his house.
Multiple people close to the situation tell Gossip Cop the story is made up and completely untrue.
Outlets have been in an absolute frenzy trying to pin down everyone's location during this saga, which is how we get bogus Pattinson sightings in London and other misfires.
The Agnelli rumor is just more of the same blind — and wrong — guesswork.

One thing that concerns me is that if some sort of bill does get passed, how long until the RIAA starts going after someone who buys a used cd on Ebay ?
The reason being is that the main fact being raised is that because of illegal downloading, 'copyright holders' are losing profits. However, when you buy a used game/cd/movie from Craigslist/Ebay/local music store, the rights holder in question doesn't get any profit from that either. So why is one case completely legal and socially acceptable whereas the other is not ? The means are completely different but in both cases, the person who owns the copyright won't get royalties from either.
To that end, if someone buys a used Axe-FX rather than getting one from Fractal themselves, according to statements being presented here, it could be considered 'stealing'. They would be getting Fractal's patented technology without paying them any money. It's these kinds of grey areas that corporate lawyers could easily exploit to eliminate sources of competition.

JWC TO JANE WILSON ; 22 February 1841; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18410222-JWC-JWI-01; CL 13: 45-46
[ca. 22 February 1841]
MY DEAR MISS WILSON,—Before we proceed another step—before I can give the slightest countenance to my Husband's engagement for Friday1—will you tell me one thing— Have you asked, or do you mean to ask, the Maurices?2 If so it is all up! For I would not for a hundred guineas after the note I wrote to them even yesterday, at his desire; declaring him on soul and conscience to be altogether sick—altogether incapable—of anything but going to the Isle of Wight—that they should meet us with you, on one of the identical three days they offered us for making an engagement to dine at Guy's that we might transact an introduction to certain Derwent Coleridge's.3
How this so recent fact escaped the man's memory at the moment—only recurred to it 'on the way home'—I cannot imagine, unless indeed you had previously turned his head. He is like to turn mine with his agreeable eccentricities.
Ever yours truly, /

The Terre Haute City Council held a special call meeting last Thursday to discuss the city's budget deficit. The city has been in the red since the state legislature instituted a property tax cap several years ago. Despite the decline in property tax revenues, city expenditures remained constant or increased.
Terre Haute took out a tax anticipation loan to make up for the shortfall several years ago. Last year, Mayor Bennett proposed moving $3 million from the city's rainy day fund to pay the loan back and avoid the interest charges. The council denied the request. They believed that the rainy day funds were intended to be used in more severe circumstances.
Because the special call meeting took place during a sunshine session, no votes were taken. The debt debate became heated during the course of the two-hour plus meeting.
"The situation is bleaker than I thought," Todd Mullican told the council. He also expressed skepticism about the current projections coming from Scott Walker. Walker is a consultant the council hired last year to help them deal with the city's finances. Later, he added, "If the council continues on its current path, it will have to make some difficult decisions."
Neil Garrison compared Terre Haute's fiscal problems to a leaky ship. He put the blame on the mayor and the city council for allowing the situation to continue.
Todd Nation warned that market forces are already causing the city's creditors to increase the interest rate on its tax anticipation loan.
According to Norman Loudermilk, the city uses an 18-month budget cycle. The city receives property tax disbursements in June, even though it spends money it has not received during the first half of the year. Loudermilk warned that cutting the budget would have negative employment consequences, although he acknowledged that cuts may be necessary.
No one wanted to cut official city employees, but the council questioned whether or not the city needed to maintain the services of a budget consultant. Last year, the city voted to hire Scott Walker in the hopes that he could facilitate communication between the mayor's office and the city council. At least one council member called Walker's numbers confusing.
Terre Haute is not the only city to face financial difficulties. Detroit struggles to maintain solvency, and several smaller cities made national headlines last year. Stockton, CA declared bankruptcy. Scranton, PA paid all city workers, including the mayor, minimum wage until it could make up its budget shortfalls. Terre Haute continues to pay its debts, according to Mayor Bennett.
The council discussed a property dispute during the regular sunshine meeting. The dispute involves an alley between a residential property and the Dollar General on 25th and Hulman.

My name is Joanie and I'm a political junkie (Shouldn't Jeff be at his mother bedside?).
Can we get Romney a hipness implant?
Who's she calling? The Warren campaign? Jeff?
It can take up to a day or more for the full affects of the anesthesia to wear off fully.
I left a reply regarding Obama presenting an ID when he voted. In Illinois an ID is required for early voting- which he did- but not for voting on Election Day.
Thanks, LWP. I read it.
I read the posts by the right and I have to wonder sometimes why they believe the things they say they believe….
WWII was "the war to end all war" except war is very profitable and many a rich man is a "Warbucks". After the Atomic Bomb showed them that they could actually be victims themselves rather then sitting safe out of the war zones and sending the young and the poor off to make them rich they had to rethink how to fight war so they would be safe. The answer is to fight little wars in a lot of places. Destroy a country's infrastructure and send in the Halliburtons of the world to fix it. When Bush was given 911 he promptly went and invaded Iraq. He said he was going to before he was elected ("I'm going to get the man that tried to kill my Daddy!") but the real reason we invaded Iraq instead of going after Bin Ladin was that Iraq had a lot of infrastructure that could be rebuilt for Billions, Afghanistan where Bin Ladin was known to be hiding?… not so much, in fact hardly any. Halliburton didn't want to rebuild Afghanistan they wanted to rebuild Iraq (again). MONEY pure and simple was why we had a war in Iraq. And why the Reactionary Right who are the lackeys of the Rich will keep looking for wars for their children to die in for the Rich, whose own children never get close… Mit for example, he supported the war… as long as he didn't have to fight. Cheney… he had better things to do… etc etc…
We lefties had better brace ourselves for 4 years of Willard's War, maybe 8 — against Iran or Pakistan. Plus, he'll keep us in Afghanistan, the graveyard of empires.
The American voting public will never learn, I fear.
Mitt doesn't reallize that our troops' supplies depend on Pakistan letting us transport through their country.
"Mitt doesn't reallize that our troops' supplies depend on Pakistan letting us transport through their country."
If you're right about that, then when he learns the truth, he'll go to war against Pakistan in order to secure that passage through the Khyber pass, He'll bring in massive military might and boots on the ground instead of bribing their corrupt government with billions of dollars.
When Dubya Bush was in power, savvy Pakistanis called their own strongman, General Pervez Musharraf, Gen. Busharraf.
"… self hater of their own Semitic blood …. ¶ po' brownfellas … ¶ … free sex … VD cures. ¶ … world wide crime … stolen elections."
Such Nazi racist rant against Jews and all non-whites (non-Aryans) based on fear of losing elections is what powers voter suppression.
Come on and scream out what you really really want: "Ein volk! Ein reich! Ein führer! Adolf Hitler! Sieg heil!"
It's not the voter's poor choices necessarily – look at Ohio in 2004 or Florida in 2000 for example. Instead of (or in addition to):
"Those who own the gold make the rules"
we have
"Those who make the voting machines own the election!"

Most people know Barcelona's Camp Nou stadium because it is home to one of the most successful and recognized football (soccer) teams in the world, Barcelona FC. The massive infrastructure can host 96,336 spectators, making it the largest stadium in Europe and the 11th largest in the world in terms of capacity.
While the first team only plays an average of 30 official games in the stadium every year, the Camp now also hosts the games of the Barcelona B team. Further, the sports city also comprises the Mini Stadium, the Palau Blaugrana (where the Barcelona basketball team plays), and the Barça Museum, the most visited in the city.
Obviously the energy requirements for this complex are huge, and smart management is critical. That's why the European Union's BEAMS project, a multinational initiative funded by the 7th framework program, selected the Barça stadium to test its smart building management system.
The objective of BEAMS -- or Buildings Energy Advanced Management System -- is to develop an advanced, integrated management system to improve the energy efficiency of buildings and special infrastructure from a holistic perspective. Evaluation and demonstration of BEAMS initiatives are being tested in the Camp Nou, as well as Italy's Salento University.
The project includes an open interoperability gateway and the management of diverse, heterogeneous sources and loads. When fully implemented, BEAMS can manage all energy subsystems in a building, including lighting, HVAC, photovoltaic generation (smart solar panels), charging of electric vehicles, and metering. The system uses an array of environment sensors and meters with local energy grids, interface to external grids, and integration of dedicated services and applications via local and wide area communication networks to feed its Facility Management Environment System (FAME), which is responsible for identifying and classifying the situations that will trigger the execution of corrective actions and commands. FAME also provides indicators on how the system is using energy, changes in temperature, energy produced, etc., allowing for the creation of energy optimization strategies.
One interesting feature of this program is the monitoring of the energy consumption of electric vehicles located on the installations. Currently the Barça stadium is using three EVs -- one for waste management service and another two for surveillance and security. The EVs are located in the service area of the stadium, and they use them around the entire complex.
The EU will fund the BEAMS project until the end of this year, when the final metrics and conclusions will be presented. If all goes well, this project could present a framework for managing energy holistically, setting an example for the rest of the world.

Public Private Partnership: Local Initiatives
- Date

Climate change is a predominantly urban challenge. Over one-half of the world's population now lives in urban centres and these centres are growing at a rate of 75 million residents per year; the vast majority of this growth is happening in developing countries. Critically, cities account for three-quarters of the world's total energy use, either directly through the combustion of fossil fuels in power generation and transport, or indirectly through electricity use.
In response to this challenge, cities around the world are making strides in mitigating greenhouse gas emissions from sectors they have direct control or influence over-typically power generation, transport, and buildings. This publication includes examples from these sectors and also looks at the synergies that can be achieved through dedicated climate change agencies and communication initiatives that target the wider community.
This publication focuses on initiatives that have been delivered through city and business partnerships. It clearly shows that there are significant opportunities available for cities and businesses working together to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, that these partnerships deliver results for the climate, and that they are financially rewarding for the city governments and businesses involved.
The scale and impact of climate change is global and must be addressed concurrently at the international, national, and local levels if the threat is to be stabilized. Partnership efforts between public and private entities at the city level are an invaluable contribution to the many efforts currently underway.

The 91st Round
Okay - now that Bob Arum has dismissed the notion of an out-and-out "conspiracy" surrounding the De la Hoya-Mosley decision, let me get around to the point no one in his camp had made.
One of Arum's big points of contention was over the presence of South Africa's Stanley Christodoulou, which, as Arum claims in stories that have appeared in the Los Angeles Times and Las Vegas Review-Journal, was objected to by the World Boxing Association (one of the bodies sanctioning the DLH-Mosley bout) without his knowledge.
One thing Arum didn't seem to be aware of at the time was that Christodoulou may have been ineligible for that fight for other reasons.
First of all, I think we all have a high regard for the credibility of Christodoulou, a renowned referee of championship events who was serving as one of the three judges for the DLH-Mosley fight - scoring the bout 115-113 for Mosley, along with his two colleagues, Nevada's Duane Ford and Anek Hongthongkam of Thailand.
I didn't agree with the decision, at least sitting here on this day and having not yet seen a replay of the fight. But that's neither here nor there. The point that carries some importance, for purposes of today's discussion, is that by standards that have now been established in writing by the Association of Boxing Commissions, not to mention what appears to be its interpretation of existing federal law, perhaps Christodoulou should have never been a judge for that title fight in the first place.
One particular question about Christodoulou was originally broached in a March 4 column by Harold Lederman on the HBO website (http://www.hbo.com/boxing/columns/lederman/20030304.shtml), after the Roy Jones-John Ruiz fight:
"Stanley has always appeared to be an honest man who was once the head of the boxing commission in his home country and now makes no secret about being a member of the ratings committee of the World Boxing Association. He is too good a referee to give that up, so I really feel he should resign from the ratings committee, because there is too much room for controversy being an official for some guy you helped get in the ratings."
Elisa Harrison of Bragging Rights Corner (http://www.braggingrightscorner.com) wrote a story on Thursday that covered this issue to some extent, referring to a warning given to Florida referee Armando Garcia, who was being told to give up either his status with boxing commissions or as Chairman of the WBA's Officials Committee.
Here is the letter relative to that threat, sent by Tim Lueckenhoff, President of the ABC, two weeks ago:
September 5, 2003
Armando Garcia
(Address witthheld)
Dear Mr. Garcia:
It has come to the attention of the Association of Boxing Commissions ("ABC") that you currently are licensed as a referee by the Florida State Athletic Commission and the Miccosukee Athletic Commission; and, at the same time, you are functioning as the Chairman of the World Boxing Association's ("WBA") Officials Committee.
I respectfully direct your attention to federal legislation entitled "The Professional Boxers Safety Act of 1996" (amended by "The Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act" in 1998), codified as 15 U.S.C. §6301, et seq. Specifically, 15 U.S.C. §6308 states, in pertinent part:
§6308. Conflicts of Interest
No member or employee of a boxing commission, no person who administers or enforces State boxing laws, and no member of the Association of Boxing Commissions may belong to, contract with, or receive compensation from, any person who sanctions, arranges or promotes professional boxing matches ...
It is the position of the ABC that, when you perform your role as a referee for the Florida State Athletic Commission and the Miccosukee Athletic Commission, you are functioning as either an "employee of a boxing commission," a "person who administers or enforces State boxing laws," or both. It also is the position of the ABC that your serving as the Chairman of the WBA's Officials Committee constitutes your "belonging" to the WBA. Moreover, if you are receiving remuneration for the services you are providing to the WBA as the Chairman of the WBA's Officials Committee, you have either contracted with, or are receiving compensation from, a "person who sanctions ... professional boxing matches."
In view of the above, your functioning as a licensed referee, as well as the Chairman of the WBA's Officials Committee, appears to constitute a direct violation of the above-quoted Federal Law. Accordingly, you hereby are directed not to function in both capacities. If you continue to do so, please be advised that appropriate sanctions may be sought [see, e.g., 15 USC §6309(b)((3)].
Very truly yours,
Tim Lueckenhoff
The letter written to Garcia (which apparently scared him into resigning his WBA position) establishes a foundation by which to exclude Christodoulou from the DLH-Mosley fight.
By virtue of his association with the WBA's ratings, championship, and executive committees, it follows logically that Christodoulou, by the standards recognized and affirmed by the ABC in the letter, "belongs to" the WBA. And since judges are scoring rounds on a ten-point must system, in accordance with regulations set forth by a boxing commission (in this case, Nevada), take points away on their cards when ordered to by the referee, and are licensed, recognized state officials, whether it be for one fight or 100, there is a reasonable argument that they are also "administering or enforcing State boxing laws".
I'm not stretching things at all when I say that if Garcia is "violating" federal law, as described by the ABC's interpretation, then so is Christodoulou. It would follow that Nevada, as a member of the Association of Boxing Commissions, perhaps should not have appointed Christodoulou to judge this fight.
Furthermore, inasmuch as Nevada adopted the ABC's "unified rules" for the DLH-Mosley fight, and has provisions for certain of these unified rules to override their own rules for championship fights, one can safely assume that Nevada defers to the ABC, at least to some degree.
So why was Christodoulou there?
"I didn't know he was on the Ratings Committee," said Marc Ratner, executive director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission. "I'm just looking for the best officials."
Well, no one would dispute that Christodoulou is a respected official, but apparently he wasn't the judge the WBA had in mind, which can be for any number of reasons, including the practice of simply rotating officials, which is commonplace with sanctioning bodies AND commissions. The WBA had submitted for consideration a list of six names, none of which were from the United States (Ken Morita, Jose Cova, Manuel Gonzalez, Mazakazu Yoshida, Daniel Telon, Arthur Ellenson), and none of which were satisfactory to Ratner, who made the decision to contact Christodoulou independently of any coordination with the WBA.
Christodoulou allegedly didn't seek permission or approval from the WBA in connection with his acceptance of the job. Therefore the WBA might take the position that it considers De la Hoya-Mosley to have been a fight done without judges that were appointed, approved, OR submitted by them; in effect, their judge, as far as they were concerned, wasn't there. That could lead to a review of the decision (Arum has reportedly requested it) at their upcoming convention - something that will once again fuel "reasonable doubt" about the verdict and strengthen De la Hoya's original argument.
It could have been avoided.
Instead of pulling its sanction, the WBA attempted to reach some kind of accord by writing a letter more than two weeks before the fight, in which it objected not to Christodoulou himself, but to the unilateral process by which Ratner selected Christodoulou for the fight.
It was to no avail.
To add another, bizarre twist to this episode, we have received unconfirmed reports that yet another letter was compiled by the WBA - subsequent to September 5 - this one intended to be "signed" by Christodoulou and forwarded to Ratner. The correspondence cited the ABC's letter written to Garcia and raised questions as to whether it was proper for Christodoulou to officiate at the DLH-Mosley fight, in light of what seemed to be an inflexible ABC position. Presumably the WBA was concerned with Christodoulou being prosecuted under federal law if he participated.
Reportedly, the letter as not forwarded to Ratner. We could not reach Stanley Christodoulou for comment.
As it is, the appointment of Christodoulou was a Nevada decision all the way. For all intents and purposes, for that night, and that fight, he was a NEVADA judge, not a WBA judge. And, as has been mentioned, Nevada is a member of the ABC.
However, we've discovered that even if that letter had reached Nevada, it might not have made a difference. According to Keith Kizer, a member of the Nevada Attorney General's office who serves as counsel to the athletic commission, "I don't think 6308 (the conflict of interest clause) applies here. When it was written, I don't think it was meant to include ring officials."
He's not alone in that assessment.
I don't know that I share that interpretation, but it nonetheless fuels a growing concern about the clarity of that paragraph - something that has not been addressed by those who shaped the legislation.
There are other big questions - namely, does a position or policy of the ABC necessarily have any binding effect on boxing commissions? In other words, does Nevada have a plausible reason to use its own judgment as to interpretation? And can this ABC position be used to prevent someone like Garcia from working anywhere in the United States, if he had indeed elected to retain his chairmanship of the WBA Officials' Committee?
It's quite possible the ABC may find out the answers to these questions the hard way.

The Birthmark
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Analysis: Plot Analysis
Most good stories start with a fundamental list of ingredients: the initial situation, conflict, complication, climax, suspense, denouement, and conclusion. Great writers sometimes shake up the recipe and add some spice.
Initial Situation
Aylmer is thoroughly devoted to science, and also recently married.
Before the birthmark even comes into play, we get the classic set-up: a little background information on our characters, and a subtle introduction of the story's themes (like science, Nature, discovery, knowledge, ambition).
Aylmer isn't into Georgiana's birthmark and wants to remove it.
Given the title, we can be fairly sure when this topic arises that it is the focus, and indeed central conflict, of our story. It's well-suited to the job since, like most conflicts, it brings with it discontent and possible strife on the part of the characters.
Taking off Georgiana's birthmark isn't as simple as it seems.
Hawthorne warns us that the birthmark is deeply interwoven into Georgiana's countenance, and of course Aylmer's own dream anticipates that the birthmark goes deeper than the surface. There's also quite a bit of talk about Nature guarding her secrets, and of Aylmer's many failures as a scientist.
Georgiana drinks the liquid (whatever it is).
OK, so Hawthorne is a little fuzzy about what exactly Aylmer cooked up, but the dead give-away that this is your climax is that the entire story has been leading up to this point. We've heard everything there is to hear about the birthmark, the possibility of getting rid of it, the danger of getting rid of it, etc., etc., and now we finally get to see the big moment. Ta-dah!
Georgiana wakes up; she's all, "Poor Aylmer!", which we know can't be good.
Two things tip us off that there is something wrong. First is Aminadab's laughter, which we have a sneaking suspicion is not in the good spirit Aylmer believes it is intended. Second is Georgia's first words to her husband. Something is up, and we're on the edge of our seats to find out what. Also, there's only about a paragraph left for us to get to the conclusion.
Georgiana is dying; we have the sneaking suspicion we knew this would happen all along.
Aylmer's dream sequence early in the story sets us up for this not-so-happy ending. There is a sense of falling action as we arrive at what, on some level, was an inevitable conclusion.
Georgiana is dead, and Aylmer is revealed to be a total fool.
Hawthorne's judgment, not ours, though he puts it in slightly kinder terms ("Had Aylmer reached a profounder wisdom, he need not thus have flung away [his] happiness"). There are big-time lessons to be learned on the nature of mortality, human nature, human imperfection, and the division of body and soul. Be sure to check out "What's Up with the Ending?" for a full plate of discussion.

Bill Clinton cares about two things: Defending his legacy; and assisting Hillary Clinton in her quest for the presidency, should she decide to run.
The two concerns are not mutually exclusive. Rather, they are intertwined, and both require the former president to position Clintonius politiicus (a singular species) slightly to the left of where he and his wife once were.
Clinton's sensitivity about his legacy erupted in 2008 when then-candidate Barack Obama labeled Ronald Reagan and John F. Kennedy transformational presidents, while pointedly ignoring the husband of his primary opponent. "I think Ronald Reagan changed the trajectory of America in a way that Richard Nixon and in a way that Bill Clinton did not," Obama said. "He put us on a fundamentally different path… I think Kennedy, 20 years earlier, moved the country in a fundamentally different direction."
Clinton got over it, partly because Obama was right (the next president was not commenting on the policies of Reagan and Kennedy; rather, he was simply noting their historical impact) and partly to insure a Democrat in the White House. By 2012 Clinton had become an enthusiastic and tireless campaigner for Obama's reelection.
But that "legacy" thing has not disappeared. On Wednesday, Clinton delivered a strident defense of his economic policies. "My commitment was to restore broad-based prosperity to the economy and to give Americans a chance," he said in a speech at Georgetown University, his alma mater. With his wife in attendance, the former president detailed the affect of policies like welfare reform, the earned-income tax credit, and balancing the budget. "You know the rest," he told his audience. The 1990s "worked out pretty well."
As president, Clinton presided over a healthy economy in which unemployment declined and median family income increased substantially. But it is also true that Clinton was the candidate of the Democratic Leadership Council, a middle-of-the-road, centrist organization that worked assiduously to revive the Democratic Party after the Reagan years. The DLC forged a new image of Democrats as pro-business pragmatists. As president, Clinton implemented many of the policies of the DLC, which did not include addressing the issues of poverty.
But the political winds have changed, and the Democratic Party — prodded by elected officials like Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio — is adopting a more populist tone. Clinton is a savvy politician, which is why he presided at de Blasio's swearing-in last January. Clinton remembers how Obama got to Hillary's left in 2008, and his presence in New York was the opening salvo in a campaign to insure that no candidate, like Warren, does the same thing in the 2016 primaries. (To be sure, Warren has shown no interest in running, but you can't be too careful.)
Repositioning the family on more solid populist ground is the point at which Bill's legacy and Hillary's ambitions merge. So, at Georgetown, he not only defended his record, but he also addressed the burning issue for today's progressive wing of the Democratic Party: Income inequality. Calling it "a severe constraint on growth," the former president acknowledged that growing inequality is a more serious problem today than in the 1990s.
The immediate symbol of the new populism on the left is raising the minimum wage, which Hillary Clinton advocated in a speech last week in Boston and which was defeated in the Senate by a Republican-led filibuster on the same day Bill spoke at Georgetown. Democrats believe increasing the minimum wage is a winning issue this November and in 2016. "I'm confident that if we don't raise the minimum wage in Congress before the election," said out-going Senator Tom Harkin, a Democrat from Iowa, "the American people are going to speak about this at the ballot box in November."
Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican countered, "This is all about politics. This is all about trying to make this side of the aisle look bad and hardhearted."
Actually, Republicans are capable of doing that all by themselves.
Still, it never hurts to give the opposition a shove, which Democrats will do by raising the issue at every opportunity.
As loyal Democrats, expect the Clintons to pitch in as well. Besides, talking about income inequality and the minimum wage helps cement the Clinton legacy, past and future.

July 11, 1999
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) - An NCAA committee has recommended that the Division I women's basketball championships be played in Atlanta in 2003 and in New Orleans in 2004.
The Final Four site selections, announced Tuesday by the Division I Women's Basketball Committee, await approval later this week by the Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet.
Other cities considered for the 2003 and 2004 women's finals were Charlotte, N.C., Detroit and Memphis, Tenn., the NCAA said.
In Atlanta, the 2003 Final Four will be played April 4 and April 6 in the Georgia Dome, which will be configured to seat anywhere from 24,000 to 36,000. Georgia Tech will be the host for the championships, which were last held in Atlanta in 1993.
Tulane will host the 2004 women's Final Four, to be played April 2 and April 4 in the 18,500-seat New Orleans Sports Arena. The event was also held in New Orleans in 1991.
The NCAA earlier announced the First Union Center in Philadelphia as the site of the 2000 women's Final Four, the Kiel Center in St. Louis for 2001 and San Antonio's Alamodome for 2002.

My Thoughts
My set, I am missing the crest monogram on my decanter
A few weeks ago I was looking for the perfect gifts for my husband and I found them at GreatGiftsForMen.com and HomeWetBar.com. We are always on the lookout for great items to add to our home bar and the items shown above fit right into the classy style we are aiming for. Both the decanter and the glasses are good quality and sturdy, and trust me when I say sturdy, I have actually purchased glasses online before that looked like they were of good quality only to be disappointed when they arrived to find out they were not. We love the new additions to our bar and it only makes me more excited for the day that we buy the standalone bar we have our eye on to display all these great additions.
I recommend checking out both of these websites for more great gift ideas for men (and women) especially if you are looking for home bar items, I know I will be going back as I have seen a few more items I would like to add.
