One can expect the Visa Facilitation and Readmission Agreement to be signed with Armenia during the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius, European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy, Stefan Fule, said in Chisinau on Friday.
According to Fule, the EU hopes to sign AA/DCFTA with Ukraine, initial the same agreement with Moldova and Georgia, sign a Visa Facilitation and Readmission Agreement with Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as to gain tangible results in cooperation, particularly, in the fields of transport and education.
To note, Armenia and the EU have been negotiating on the Association Agreement for 3 years. On September 3, 2013, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan announced the country's decision to join the Customs Union. Afterwards, European officials said that the Customs Union and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area were incompatible.

The Merry Wives of Windsor
by William Shakespeare
The Merry Wives of Windsor Act 4, Scene 4 Summary
- Back at the Ford's house, the married couples have a good laugh about the pranks that have been played on Falstaff.
- Ford apologizes to his wife and vows never to mistrust her again.
- They all agree that the "merry wives" should punk Falstaff again, just to make sure he's learned his lesson about preying on honest housewives.
- Mistress Page remembers an old folktale about "Herne the hunter," a spooky ghost that haunts Windsor Forest at night during the winter.
- Apparently, "Herne the hunter" walks around an old oak tree at midnight, rattling his chains, bewitching the local cattle, and scaring the you-know-what out of the locals—especially old people who still believe in ghosts.
- Mistress Ford suggests that they get Falstaff to wear a set of horns on his head (like "Herne the hunter") and meet them at the old haunted oak at midnight. (We have no idea why Falstaff would want to do that but, we just have to go along with Shakespeare on this one.)
- Mistress Page says she'll get her son and daughter and a bunch of little kids to dress up like "urchins, oafs, and fairies" to scare Falstaff by singing some crazy song and pinching him until he confesses that he's been trying to seduce Mistress Ford and Mistress Page. Falstaff will be totally humiliated in front of EVERYONE. Good times!
- Evans volunteers to be the children's drama coach and runs off to help them get ready.
- Meanwhile, Ford runs off to buy costumes and masks for the kids.
- Page is totally psyched. He makes plans to use the prank as an opportunity to help Slender elope with Anne during all the confusion. Mistress Page has a similar idea.
- Since Anne will be wearing a disguise during the prank, she thinks it's the perfect time for Caius to run away with her without anybody noticing.
- This is going to work out well.

Cam Jordan has lost count. This is either the fifth or sixth different defensive system he's played in, dating back to college.
It's definitely his third in three NFL seasons with the New Orleans Saints, where he's now played defensive end in Rob Ryan's new 3-4 scheme, and both end and tackle in Steve Spagnuolo's 4-3 and Gregg Williams' 4-3/3-4 hybrid.
And each has required physical adjustments as well as mental ones. Jordan (6 feet 4) was an estimated 300 pounds as a rookie, down to 282 last year and now back up to 290 this year.
Yet none of that seems to matter. The 2011 first-round draft pick out of California-Berkeley just continues to thrive.
Jordan was arguably the Saints' best defensive player last year, a standout run defender who also tallied eight sacks from four positions across the line. And he was arguably their best defensive player on the field again last Friday night against the Oakland Raiders, with one sack, one forced holding call and a handful of other quarterback pressures.
"He's a special guy, and he's going to be special in this defense as well," Ryan promised last week after seeing Jordan's effort and energy level firsthand for the first time in a game situation.
Ryan hasn't spoken to the media since the Raiders game, but no doubt his opinion of Jordan is even higher.
Both Jordan and coach Sean Payton stopped short of making comparisons to Houston end J.J. Watt, who will be a marquee opponent in Sunday's preseason game between the Saints and Texans.
Watt, another 2011 first-round draft pick, became a breakout star last season at the usually unglamorous 3-4 end position with an astounding 20.5 sacks, plus four forced fumbles and 16 pass defenses. He was voted the NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
But Payton did make the comparison that like Watt, Jordan will be versatile enough to use as an every-down player, even when the Saints rotate into a variety of packages that sometimes include only one or two down linemen.
"How they're used, there will be some similarities," said Payton, who even while watching from afar last season could tell that Jordan was "one of the bright spots" for the Saints.
"He's handled this transition really well," said Payton, who lauded Jordan for coming into camp in great shape and praised his stamina and toughness.
"He's going to be on the field a lot, not only in the base (packages). He rushes the passer well, he's physical, he's provided good leadership and he has worked hard."
Coaches have always raved about Jordan's attitude, especially through all the adjustments he's had to make in his young NFL career.
As Jordan has said a few times this summer, his approach is that it's all about "being comfortable with the uncomfortable."
"Honestly, I'm just like everybody else on this team, trying to make a position for myself. And that position seems to be something like a jackknife," Jordan said.
He probably meant "Swiss Army knife," a tool known for its versatility -- but jackknife sounds a little more dramatic for an athlete who likes to cut through the line and get to the passer whenever possible.
Jordan admits that like any other defensive lineman, he would love to get as many opportunities as possible to rush the passer. He was only half-joking last year when he said he spoke up in the film room, imploring coaches to leave him at defensive end full time after he had three sacks against the Philadelphia Eagles in place of injured Junior Galette at that position.
But that's as close as you'll get to a complaint from Jordan, who seems to put everything into great perspective.
When asked why he puts so much effort into his run defense -- chasing down ball carriers across the field, as well as stuffing the ones that come to his side -- Jordan said, "To get to third downs, you gotta win first and second downs."
And when asked about how he'll probably be asked to spend more time this year occupying blockers at the line of scrimmage to free up the Saints' linebackers to rush the passer, Jordan again put an optimistic spin on it.
"Some plays I'll have to do that double gap and hold the tackle and the guard and let my outside linebacker, i.e. Will Smith, Junior Galette, just go ahead and eat off of that," Jordan said. "But I also think that in turn it'll also help me loosen free when they realize what kind of threat they are."
Jordan said his attitude has always been that way. He said he's never fought against any of the position or weight changes.
"You can't really control what happens. All you can control is how hard you work at it," Jordan said. "So come to work, work hard."
And, as he's know to do, the playful, sarcastic Jordan even took it one step further, joking that, "Unless you want me to go out there and play corner for a couple plays, I don't know how much more I can do."
Then he thought for a second about the idea and said, "But I wouldn't object to it."**************

What are the pros? Amazing nutrition with skin
What are the cons? not happy at high altitude
Grew this in Flagstaff, AZ and it did just ok, mostly due to the consistently cool summer growing nights. We only had a couple of squash for the season.
I am planning to grow in MA next season. The Red Kuri squash is amazing for pies and all other uses, especially if you wash the outside well and steam the squash WITH the skin on. Process the squash with skin in food processor till smooth. The skin adds so much richness to pies, pureed squash, soups, etc - a big dose of beta carotene to your diet. My favorite squash to date!

What are the pros? Grows fast with long runners.
What are the cons? Lots of stink bug eggs
Beautiful color. Planted in hills. Long runners. Dirt at points along runner will set new roots.
Totally covered planting area making it hard to spray and weed. Good bloomer. Can't wait to taste. Don't know when time to harvest.
36 out of 36 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Prolific; Creamy; Sweet, Early
What are the cons? Especially Long Vines
Creamy, mildly sweet, reliable, and gorgeous!
The red kuris I grew had a distinctive, rich creaminess. The best analogy I can think of would be that the generic kabocha I planted was 1% milk while the kuri was whole. Consistency-wise, it was thicker than all 5 pumpkin varieties I planted, which were also dry-fleshed kabocha types. For a comparison, after 2 months of curing, it was also quite sweet, though not the sugary taste of some store-bought kabochas. I also noticed it didn't have the kabocha's nutty flavor.
Out of the varieties I grew this year, this one yielded the most. There were several weeks when temperatures climbed into the mid 90s. I resigned myself to plenty of unset fruit but the red kuri wasn't even fazed. It not only set more fruit - and set it when others would not - but produced some gems: one of the pumpkins I harvested was almost 13 pounds!
My only caveat is that its vines are LONG. A great pumpkin, but difficult for the space-conscious gardener!
19 out of 19 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Versatile
What are the cons? None
Vigorous plants, quick setting fruits and long running season make this one of the best I have grown. Although with smaller leaves than the calabaza or the cushaw the plants thrived in my organic soil. Pies, cakes, breads, soups or just roasted in the oven, you can't beat this one.
20 out of 20 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Set beautiful large squash
What are the cons? none
I planted the seeds late June. I had 100 percent germination rate. The plants were healthy and grew they did. This is by far the best tasting squash I have ever had! I love sweet potato but the KurI squash is creamier and sweeter!!! Saved the seeds and will definitely be growing tons more next time. This is one you MUST GROW!

Mark Driscoll, founder of Mars Hill mega church in Seattle, was voted as one of the 25 most influential preachers in the United States, in a 2010 poll taken by Preaching magazine. Although he has become one of the most controversial preachers in America, his sermon podcast frequently is number one in iTunes's Religion and Spirituality and his online audience has hit the 15 million mark annually.
Driscoll, as founding pastor in 1996, has led the church to great growth as it had a reported 6,568 members by November, 2013. An estimated 14,000 people attended the 15 locations across five states in the United States at one point in time.
Driscoll, who is the author of more than 15 books, and who has also written for CNN and The Washington Post, has also done columns for the Seattle Times. He founded Resurgence and was the co-founder of the Acts 29 Network which has started more than 400 churches in the United States and in 13 other countries.
Pastor Mark, as he is referred to on his website, started Mars Hill at age 25 with wife Grace at their home in Seattle as a Bible study group. Mars Hill was recognized at the third fastest growing and 28th largest church in the nation by Outreach Magazine.
Classified as a New Calvinism (Evangelical) Christian, Driscoll was born October 11, 1970. He has also been described as "hip yet hard-line." Born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and raised in a Roman Catholic home, he is the oldest of five children and the son of a union drywaller. It was in high school that he met future wife Grace Martin, daughter of evangelical pastor Gib Martin.
The year 1989 was a transitional one for him as he graduated from Highline High School in Burien Washington. He served as student body president, editor of the school newspaper, captain of the baseball team and was voted "most likely to succeed." He met the criteria of a leader by anyone's standards. Then, at age 19 as a college freshman he converted to evangelical Christianity.
Driscoll recalled that, "God spoke to me....He told me to marry Grace, preach the Bible, train men, and plant churches....I began preparing to devote my life to obey God's call for me." The future leader of Mars Hill went on to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts degree in communications from Washington State University with a minor in philosophy. He further earned a Master of Arts degree in exegetical theology from Western Seminary.
Driscoll's style is original. He said that while it is influenced by comedians like Chris Rock, others have described him as pacing the stage in sneakers and jeans while espousing Calvinism. His amalgam of influences has led to criticisms from both conservatives and liberals even as his influence as soared to unparalleled heights not only in Northwest United States, but also around the world. Conservatives have referred to him as "the cussing pastor". They don't approve of his distressed jeans and liking of indie rock. On the other hand, liberals criticize his hellfire theology and insistence that women should submit to their husbands.
He has cited among his influences Augustine, John Calvin, Martin Luther, Jonathan Edwards and Charles Spurgeon.
In the 1990s, Driscoll was connected to the emerging church movement. He described it as a "loosely connnected movement of primarily young pastors who are glad to see the end of modernity and are seeking to function as missionaries who bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to emerging and postmodern cultures. The emerging church welcomes the tension of holding in one closed hand the unchanging truth of evangelical Christian theology (Jude 3) and holding in one open hand the many cultural ways of showing and speaking Christian truth as a missionary to America (l Cor 9:19-23)."
However, he later modified his opinion of the movement, saying, "In the mid-1990s I was part of what is now known as the emerging church and spent some time traveling the country to speak on the emerging church in the emerging culture on a team put together by Leadership Network called the Young Leader Network. But, I eventually had to distance myself from the emergent stream of the network....."
He then criticized certain aspects of the movement including some of the leaders questioning God's sovereignty over and knowledge of the future, denial of the substitutionary atonement at the Cross, a low view of Scripture and denial of hell "which is one hell of a mistake."
Driscoll has expressed the opinion that Christianity has been "feminized" in modern America. In a 2006 interview with Desiring God, he said, "The problem with the church today, it's just a bunch of nice, soft, tender, 'chickified' church boys. Sixty percent of Christians are chicks, and the forty percent that are dudes are still sort of chicks....The whole architecture and the whole aesthetic of church buildings and services is really feminine."
Driscoll will never be accused of being a boring preacher. Whether a person disagrees or agrees with his theology and/or his style, no one can say he hasn't been a major influence on churches in the United States.
Before the last Super Bowl involving the Seattle Seawhawks and Denver Broncos he interviewed four of the players. All four said knowing Jesus Christ was more important than winning the Super Bowl. His knack for sensing the pulse of most Americans' interests has enabled him to reach many people who ordinarily might not have been reached.
While he has been the subject of criticism in recent days by some former members of his Mars Hill family, there is no doubt Mark Driscoll has left his signature on the modern pulpit in America. He has clearly accomplished his stated goals of planting churches, training men and teaching the Bible. Not to mention marrying his beautiful wife Grace.
He was voted as the 17th most influential preacher in the U.S. in the 2010 poll of Preaching magazine.

Track List
Album Remarks & Appraisals:
"Pianist Dave Frishberg describes Frank Loesser as his hero, succinctly describing the importance of Loesser to songwriters everywhere. Loesser could have no better champions than vocalistRebecca Kilgore and Frishberg. They make the art of interpreting song seem natural and easy, despite the fact it's truly a craft to get to the heart of a great song so elegantly and simply. These two are relaxed and deeply in tune with what makes a great song and a great performance. Here they take on tunes both famous and obscure from the Loesser oeuvre - 17 in all - still just a small fraction of the composer's prolific output.
Frishberg once called "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve" a perfect song and so it's an appropriate vehicle to hear how two masters can 'improve' upon perfection. Kilgore makes it resonate emotionally for both its specific season and for the rest of the year too. We hear the rarely sung verse and the two achieve a breathtaking intimacy.
These songs have a little of everything - humor, pathos, intelligence - and often all in the same piece. Try "Let's Get Lost," which Chet Baker took in a wisp of blue. Frishberg and Kilgore find the blue too but there's more than a hint of Latin in Frishberg's brilliant accompaniment as Kilgore anticipates getting away.
The album closes with two true show-stoppers. Kilgore finds the architecture in "I Believe in You" (from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) and reveals just how terrific an actress she can be. And Frishberg complements her artistry by following her emotional lead. "Sit Down You're Rocking the Boat" comes from Guys and Dolls and what pianist and singer accomplish is combining personal expression with the feel of an entire Broadway cast rocking the house. This kind of magic can be found throughout this collection." -AllAboutJazz
Album Reviews:
JazzTimes (p.98) - "This whip-smart salute to Frank Loesser marks Kilgore and Frishberg's fourth collaboration....Kilgore is ideally suited to the cunning blend of Cole Porter sophistication and warm Irving Berlin familiarity that defines the Loesser songbook."
Album Notes
Personnel: Rebecca Kilgore (vocals); Dave Frishberg (piano).
Audio Mixer: Kevin Nettleingham.
Liner Note Author: Doug Ramsey.
Recording information: Heavywood Studios, Lake Oswego, OR (07/24/2007/07/25/2007).
Rebecca Kilgore and Dave Frishberg have previously collaborated on a number of earlier CDs, though this time around they focus on the works of lyricist Frank Loesser, who also wrote the music for several of the songs heard in this collection. Loesser, often considered to be one of the last great songwriters from the era of American popular song, who frequently wrote for musicals on Broadway and in film, specialized in easy to understand lyrics that left a lasting impression, though Kilgore and Frishberg also include several of his relatively obscure pieces. Kilgore's crystal-clear vocals always swing, while she is quite comfortable taking the lead as Frishberg provides inventive accompaniment. She has previously recorded "The Lady's in Love with You" (with her group BED), though this arrangement has a more upbeat setting with Frishberg playing lively, often humorous stride piano. It's hard to believe that censorship prevented "On a Slow Boat to China" from being included in the 1949 movie Neptune's Daughter, since it has long been become a standard. The duo delivers a potent interpretation that seems to get to its destination all too soon, though it is only because this gem was written without a verse. "What Are You Doing New Year's Eve?" has long been a holiday favorite, but Kilgore's is one of the best recordings, not only because she restores the often omitted introduction but also because she sings its lyrics with such feeling. The obscure gems are just as much fun. It's easy to see the two musicians with beaming smiles as they negotiate the lively "What a Rhumba Does to Romance." They also capture the playfulness of "Then I Wrote the Minuet in G," a campy piece Loesser used to make fun of fellow songwriters who appropriated classical music for their pop songs. Veteran journalist Doug Ramsey's insightful liner notes combine the right mix of background about each song and insight into the duo's interpretation of it. ~ Ken Dryden

Suspected prowler shot in La Center dies in hospital
When is a shooting justified by Washington law? Short answer: Your life is in danger.
That question was raised after the fatal shooting of an apparent prowler in La Center early Tuesday morning. So far, no arrests have been made and the investigation is continuing.
Generally in those cases, officers forward reports to the Clark County Prosecutor's Office, which makes the decision whether to file charges or rule it a justified shooting.
Chief Deputy Prosecutor John Fairgrieve has not seen reports on the La Center case, but spoke in general terms about self-defense cases. He said the law allows the homeowner to use force if there's "reasonable belief" his life or the lives of others are in imminent danger, or if the shooter is using force in resistance to a violent felony being committed.
In Washington, homeowners don't have a duty to flee first before shooting in those cases.
The key phrase is "reasonable belief," Fairgrieve said.
"If someone shoves you, you can't respond by shooting them," he said.
And it doesn't mean you "get a free pass if someone breaks into your home," Fairgrieve said. The act of burglarizing doesn't justify the shooting — the belief of risk does.
The surrounding circumstances of these type of crimes usually determine whether a shooting is justified, such as if the perpetrator is armed or coming toward you or issuing threats.
"It's really a fact-specific situation," Fairgrieve said. "It depends on the exact facts of the case."
For example, if a burglar is outside your house and is running away, "in that situation, deadly force would generally not be appropriate," he said.
The risk must be imminent, the law says, but doesn't always need to be outright violence.
"Imminence does not require an actual physical assault," jury instructions say. "A threat or its equivalent can support self-defense when there is a reasonable belief that the threat will be carried out."
Homeowner shootings are relatively rare and the court rulings on whether they are justified have varied.
Fairgrieve said the last justifiable homicide in Clark County by a civilian, not a police officer, was more than 15 years ago, when a homeowner shot a burglar inside his home who had advanced toward the homeowner's wife; the homeowner was not charged.
More recently, in September 2010, a homeowner in the Harney Heights area was charged with first-degree assault for shooting a burglar. Later, the facts showed the two knew each other and the burglar was prowling in the man's garage to collect on a debt. The homeowner was not convicted in that shooting.
Snohomish County prosecutors are currently reviewing a potential manslaughter case in connection with a homeowner who strangled a thief last summer.
And in Eugene, Ore., in 2010, a resident was charged for allegedly shooting at a man who had tried to crawl through his kitchen window. Police said the intruder was already trying to run away when shot, making the use of force illegal.

Wall Street Journal's David Enrich - Unplugged
Aug 20, 2008
By Sandman "Sandman"
David Enrich is one savvy reporter. This dossier from NewsBios nails him, exposing his professional and personal life in a way that makes it easy to see why he is well on the road to success. I especially found interesting the 2 1/2 year legal battle that he waged. Anyone in banking or financial services PR owes it to themselves to get their hands on this profile.
David Enrich - Living Up To Expectations
Aug 20, 2008
By Dean Rotbart "Founder & Executive Editor"
It was easy years ago to spot David Enrich as an up-and-coming journalism star. Now that he's arrived, it is satisfying to look back at our December 2004 dossier on him, which noted: "If ever we have spotted a journalist who is paying his dues on the way to loftier aspiration it is Mr. Enrich."
This dossier has everything: an analysis of David's recent coverage; chain-of-command; detailed career and personal background; friends, hobbies, you name it. If you don't know David before you read this dossier, you will know him well after you do.
When I train researchers and want to show them the kind of profile we need to shoot for, I include a copy of David Enrich's NewsBio.

Never would I have thought — never in my most unrealistic and off-the-chart dreams — that I would declare myself semi-retired at 49 years of age. Born and raised in the South, mere miles from New Orleans, my early years and socialization in a middle-class community demonstrated to me that the aged were the hardest of all the workers living within the community. They knew what it took to succeed. There was a formula for success. Education gets the job; the job gains you financial stability to become a consumer; you prosper while experiencing the daily grind of life...and then you die. And if you're blessed, you'll have done a job that changed the community for the better.
But this little girl turned interior designer, writer and future global traveler, and she turned a blind eye to such an ordered way to success. What the American Dream deemed as successful, my heart and soul failed to deliver. After a 10-year stint in the U.S. Air Force and another 15 years doing business as an interior designer in the residential construction field, my American Dream slowly evolved into my own personal vision.
At 49 years old, I've decided to go back to being foolish. And yes, I'm hungry — hungry to know more about our glorious world and foolish enough to use my God-given talents and skills to get the knowledge. Who knew that my teen years of reading historical fiction would still influence me? That the National Geographic magazines given to me by my father's co-worker would be the impetus for my insatiable curiosity about world cultures?Or that my jobs in the Air Force would solidify my interest in science, technology and global issues.
Here's a direct quote from Steve Job's Commencement speech at Stanford University: "Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards."
All that I have done and experienced in my life have prepared me for this moment in time. So, where do I go? What do I do now that I've grown up? Now that my eyes are older, wiser and fully open! My answer: travel and learn. During active duty in the military I've already visited England and France; Spain and Corsica; even Germany, but now it will be different. Today, when I visit the cathedrals and museums, I'll see more than the obvious. I'll understand the meanings, the symbolism and the mythology. While in Africa exploring the pyramids, I'll comprehend the technology and the religion of the Egyptians. And in Israel, I'll truly see the "center" of the world.
The Southern ways of gentility and community are uppermost and oh, so important to who I am, the very essence of me. And my plan for the years ahead? Simply put — to live well, stay healthy and explore the world community just as if I was still living in the South. With grace, joy and a welcoming smile. But eventually satisfying the hunger and curing the foolishness!

SIRIUS Satellite Radio: TBD
SIRIUS XM Radio: TBD
Freshman Shabazz Muhammad leads UCLA with 18.4 points per game, the second-highest scoring average among all Pac-12 players. Freshman Kyle Anderson has logged six double-doubles this season and is averaging 9.4 ppg and a team-leading 9.0 rpg. Junior Travis Wear ranks third on the team with 12.4 ppg and leads UCLA with a 53.0 field goal percentage (107-202). Freshman Jordan Adams is the team's second-leading scorer, averaging 15.2 ppg.
The late Don Barksdale will have his No. 11 jersey retired at halftime during Thursday's game against Washington. Barksdale is one of three former UCLA stars to be honored with a jersey retirement this season - Jamaal Wilkes' No. 52 was retired Jan. 17, and Reggie Miller's No. 31 jersey was retired Jan. 30. Barksdale was the first African-American to earn All-America honors at UCLA (1947) and the first to capture an Olympic basketball gold medal (1948).
Jordan Adams, Kyle Anderson and Shabazz Muhammad are among 12 players who have been named to the Wayman Tisdale Award National Freshman of the Year midseason watch list. UCLA is the only program to have at least three freshmen selected to the award's midseason watch list. Michigan and UCLA are the only teams with at least two players on the watch list, as released by the U.S. Basketball Writers' Association on Jan. 31.
UCLA has gone 2-2 against teams ranked in the top-25 this season (team must be ranked on day of game) and has posted a 2-0 mark against top-10 ranked opponents. This marks the fourth season in Ben Howland's 10-year tenure as UCLA's head coach that the Bruins have earned two wins against top-10 teams - UCLA downed No. 7 Missouri (97-94, overtime) on Dec. 28 and knocked off No. 6 Arizona (84-73) on Jan. 24.
Shabazz Muhammad recorded his ninth game with at least 20 points, totaling a team-best 22 points in UCLA's 75-71 overtime loss to USC on Jan. 30. UCLA has gone 8-1 this season when Muhammad has scored at least 20 points. The freshman from Las Vegas scored a season-high 27 points in consecutive games in December - in victories over Fresno State (Dec. 22) and then-No. 7 Missouri (Dec. 28).
Not only has Kyle Anderson logged six double-doubles, but the freshman from Fairview, N.J., is the Pac-12 Conference's only player to rank in the top 10 in rebounding (6th, 9.0 rpg) and assists (7th, 3.6). Anderson is averaging 9.4 points per game and has compiled a 1.8 assist turnover ratio, the third-best mark among Pac-12 players. He is sixth in the conference in steals per game, having registered 38 steals in 22 contests (1.7 spg).
UCLA's trio of freshman starters - Jordan Adams, Kyle Anderson and Shabazz Muhammad - have accounted for 52.7 percent of the Bruins' total points (891 of 1690) and for 45.0 percent of the team's total rebounds (378 of 840). These freshmen account for three of UCLA's top four scorers. Kyle Anderson's team-leading 199 rebounds are the most by any UCLA freshman since Kevin Love finished with 406 boards in 2007-08. Muhammad has scored at least 20 points in nine games, while Adams has scored at least 20 points in seven games.
Junior Travis Wear ranks third on the team with 12.4 ppg and has logged 5.7 rpg, the second-highest rebounding average on the team. He has scored in double figures in 14 of 22 games this season. In UCLA's last game (vs. USC, Jan. 30), Wear scored 16 points after having missed the Bruins' previous game with a concussion (at ASU, Jan. 26). He leads all UCLA players in field goal percentage (53.0 percent, 107-202 FGs).
Through games played Sunday, Larry Drew II leads the nation in assist turnover ratio (4.9) and ranks fourth, nationally, in assists per game (8.0). He has logged at least eight assists in 15 of 22 contests and has committed two or fewer turnovers in 18 of 22 games. Drew II has totaled 175 assists and 36 turnovers in 22 games while averaging 6.3 points per game. He has totaled more assists (175) than any UCLA player since Darren Collison had 199 in 2006-07.
UCLA leads all Pac-12 programs in scoring average, having registered 76.8 points per game (the 25th highest scoring average in the nation). In addition, UCLA has compiled the third-best scoring margin among Pac-12 programs, having outscored the opposition by an average of 7.6 points per game. The Bruins are second in the Pac-12 in field goal percentage (46.5 percent, No. 42 in nation) and are first in assists per game (17.3 apg, No. 7 in nation).
Shabazz Muhammad (27 pts), Jordan Adams (25 pts) and Kyle Anderson (20 pts) became UCLA's first-ever freshman trio to log at least 20 points each in the same game on Dec. 22, 2012, helping lead UCLA past Fresno State, 91-78. Muhammad has twice scored 27 points this season, and Adams logged 26 against UC Irvine (Nov. 13).
UCLA enters Thursday night's contest against Washington having compiled a 1.56 assist turnover ratio, the highest ratio in 10 seasons under head coach Larry Drew II leads the nation in assist turnover ratio (4.86). The Bruins have had just one game this season (Nov. 20, vs. Georgia in Brooklyn, N.Y.) with more turnovers than assists.
Freshman Kyle Anderson finished three assists shy of a triple-double against Fresno State (Dec. 22), posting season-highs of 20 points and 17 rebounds that night. UCLA's only previous triple-doubles took place in Dec. 1995. Toby Bailey finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists against Stephen F. Austin on Dec. 18, 1995. Jelani McCoy tallied 15 points, 11 blocks and 10 rebounds against Maryland on Dec. 9, 1995.
The Bruins have gone 6-2 in games decided by five points or fewer. UCLA overcame a nine-point deficit in the final five minutes to defeat Missouri, 97-94 in overtime (Dec. 28). Other victories have come against Colorado (78-75), Utah (57-53, Jan. 10), Texas (65-63, Dec. 8), Georgia (60-56, Nov. 20) and UC Irvine (80-79, overtime, Nov. 13). In 10 seasons as head coach, Ben Howland has led UCLA to a 54-33 record in games decided by five points or fewer.
Junior Nick Kazemi remains sidelined with a sprained left MCL (sustained the injury on Oct. 26, 2012).

Ears-on Review of the Jabra STONE Bluetooth
There are so many different bluetooth earpieces out there now that it becomes difficult to differentiate one from another. It's certainly hard to stand out of the crowd when you are manufacturing a brand new bluetooth. That's why Jabra decided to design a new style of bluetooth that would catch everyone off guard, and market the heck outta the thing.
As it turns out, Jabra was quite successful in doing this. After launching an aggressive marketing campaign involving a mysterious "stone" (and quite literally, I received an envelope in the mail from Jabra with an ACTUAL STONE inside as a way of generating interest and curiosity) the mystique behind the bluetooth headset gave it all the buzz Jabra ever needed. Nobody knew anything about it, and nobody knew what it even looked like. What did it have to do with an actual stone, after all?
The Stone has finally been released, and the mystique is now gone. But we have in its place a gorgeous bluetooth headset, its design definitely a cut above the rest. Here's how it fares.
Design of the Jabra STONE
The Stone name comes from the docking port the headset snaps into whenever it needs to be charged; when headset and dock are put together it looks incredibly reminiscient of a pebble that you might be tempted to try throwing in the pond to see how many times it skips (Disclaimer: do not throw your Jabra Stone into the water). The headset itself is curved in such a way that offers a great ergonomic feel when placed into your ear, and looks beautiful at the same time. There's just one problem though: due to the way the headset is curved and angled, it can only fit in the right ear. There's no way it could possibly logically fit into your left ear, which could be a hassle if you prefer having earbuds in your left ear as I do.
Since there is no boom to pick up your voice, the device itself becomes quite small and light (.25 oz) and less awkward to wear.
The stone docking port uses a MicroUSB port which comes in handy. The dock is meant to hold enough juice for up to 3 charges on the headset, as it can hold a charge of up to 6 hours talk time. This sounds great, but sadly the headset's battery doesn't last long. We will get into that later.
A handy addition to the Stone is a little belt clip accessory that comes with it, which is flexible and allows you to hook it to not just your belt but your coat and a plethora of other surfaces as well.
Features of the Jabra STONE
The Stone uses a combination of both physical buttons and touch-sensitive ones. The physical button present on the Stone is right next to the earbud on the front of the device, where the Jabra logo is located. It's easy enough to use, and very similar to many other bluetooth devices: quick tap answers and ends the call, holding it down will power the device on or off, and two clicks in a row will perform a redial. The rest of the front is touch-sensitive in which sliding your finger up and down will change the device's volume. This in my opinion is the most difficult part to get used to on the Stone, as there is a little bit of a trick to your finger sliding. You have to start and end at just the right areas on the Stone's front.
It is capable of A2DP, which means the Stone will allow you to listen to music. There is also support for voice dialing as long as your phone has the capability.
Another feature that is useful but by no means unique anymore is the device's ability to connect to multiple devices at once.
Noise cancellation is of course a priority with the Stone, which includes Jabra's very own Noise Blackout Extreme DSP technology. Not that it's really that much different than the device's equals at Motorola (Crystal Talk) or any other competitor; the technology consists of using two microphones in which one processes the background noise and dismisses it, while the other mic actually picks up your voice. This helps cancel out wind, traffic, lots of other people, and any other major distraction to the person you're talking to (besides yourself, of course).
Also, one neat feature of the Stone is that whenever you take the headset out of the charging port, the device assumes you are ready to use it again and automatically connects with your phone. You can always tell by the two LED indicators on the back of the headset, one green/red for battery life, and the other is blue to indicate it's connected to a phone.
My Experience with the Jabra Stone
I have to admit, I had my struggles with the Stone when I first got it. The first few times I used it, phone calls came out crackly and the device would not charge in the charger port or automatically connect with my iPhone when I took the Stone out of the charger port, like it was supposed to. It was really concerning me that this could be a problem with other users.
After talking with the Jabra rep, however, it was determined that this wasn't a known issue with any other devices. So I worked through it and after a little while the kinks sort of worked themselves out somehow. Now when I use my Stone it automatically connects without a problem and there is no remnant of crackly calls. The audio is also quite decent as I have listened to games and music on it while working. No problem.
Sadly the rumors are indeed true about the battery life. I was able to get just a little more than 2 hours of talk time, and 1 hour of music playback. Since I'm not a huge talker, though, the Stone would actually last me for about half the day before needing a recharge.
My absolute favorite thing about the Stone was the comfort level. I didn't feel like the headset was going to burn a hole through my ear after the first hour of wearing it. It is perfectly comfortable for most normal phone conversations lasting 1-2 hours.
So here's my overall take on the Stone now that I've had a few weeks to try it: the Stone is one of the most, if not the most, beautiful headset I've ever used. It has wonderful style and very elegant look to it. It's also a great headset to wear for comfort and audio quality, just not for long talking.
While it's true you have the charging stone that lets you recharge up to 3 times before needing to plug it in, each recharge still takes around an hour to complete. Not great for a battery lasting 2 hours. Without that hiccup, it's certainly a bluetooth headset worth looking into.
Do keep in mind, however, that it does cost a pretty penny at $129.99.

A mom, who appeared on the TLC show "Cheer Perfection," has been sentenced to two 10-year prison sentences for the sexual assault of a 13-year-old boy. Andrea Clevenger, 34, plead guilty on Thursday to charges of sexual assault and engaging a child in sexually explicit conduct for use in visual or print, reports the Huffington Post on Aug. 11.
Initially Clevenger was charged with rape, but she plead not-guilty to that charge. The New York Daily News reports that this mother had sexual intercourse and oral sex with this boy on several occasions, sometimes at her Arkansas home or in her car. She also sent him sexually explicit pictures of herself and it appears she took sexually explicit pictures of the boy.
Investigators were able to find those images on her phone. The boy's parents found the explicit photos that Clevenger had sent the boy and reported them to police last year. Along with the the two 10-year prison sentences she was also given two suspended 10-year sentences and Clevenger is forbidden any contact with this boy. She also needs to register as a "sex offender."
The boy's family was friends with the Clevenger family, so when his mother found the pictures Clevenger sent to her son's phone, she knew who she was. This set the ball rolling for her arrest. The family reported the incident to the police and investigators discovered evidence into the sexual assaults.
One can't help feel for the "Cheer Perfection" mom's daughter Kylie, who appeared on the show with her last year. TLC has stayed clear of this and has not renewed the show. They also will not air reruns of the show.
Zap 2 It reported last year that it was an anonymous tip sent into the Arkansas Child Abuse Hotline that exposed Clevenger. Back in January it was reported that Clevenger apologized to the mother of the boy stating, "He doesn't act 13." Then she told the mother that she would be entering rehab.
Clevenger was a bit strange on that TLC TV show with one scene showing her peeing on a woman's neck after the woman was burned with hair straightener. The show followed a team of young competitive cheerleaders at Cheer Time Revolution in Sherwood. Apparently Clevenger was one of the cheerleader moms.

News: Brands Falling Foul of OnLine Laws
- 81% rate their knowledge of social media marketing law as limited or non-existent
- BBC, NHS Choices, Gumtree and FutureGov unite to share best practice
London, February 25th 2010:
Research from moderation company Tempero, shows 81% of brands rate knowledge of laws regulating their social media marketing as limited to non-existent. The number one reason cited for low knowledge was that company activity was limited to external platforms like Facebook and Twitter, but a UK solicitor cautioned against this misconception.
Danvers Baillieu, solicitor at Winston & Strawn, who specialises in representing web based companies such as Huddle and Zoombu , and runs Bootlaw, clarified:
"If you edit or run a group or community, even if you're not responsible for the hosting of content (such as a Flickr group), then choosing not to exercise control and ignoring requests to remove defamatory or illegal content would not be a defence to any claims brought against you."
10 year UGC veterans Tempero, which says it protects more blue chip brands online than any other moderation company, is pro-actively tackling brand confusion on legitimate social marketing with the launch of a free eBook called 'UGC and the law'.
Link to e-book: Law: user generated content
The eBook brings together basic explanation of laws applicable to user-generated content, alongside commentary from Tempero clients like the BBC, NHS Choices, and Gumtree.
Dominic Sparkes, Managing Director of Tempero, said:
"Companies are so focused working out how to make their social media activity successful they can overlook basic issues like Data Protection, Defamation, and Child Safety."
The book flags common violations such as:
– Collection and mis-use of data
– Moderators working with youth communities online without CRB checks
– Astroturfing and other unfair marketing practices
"There's a wealth of disparate guidance out there, but this is the first time someone's pulled it all together into one eGuide," said Sparkes, adding "We've always been happy to spend 10 minutes on the phone advising a non-client for free, rather than see the industry impacted by damaging lawsuits resulting from poor self-regulation."
Notes to editors:
About the Research
Research conducted Jan 2010 across over 200 senior-level employees in both the public and private sector.
Response to question "How would you rate your organisation's knowledge of the law relating to user-generated content in social media"
- No knowledge 20%
- Some knowledge 61%
- Extensive knowledge 19%
About the eBook
The eBook will be available to download for free from www.tempero.co.uk and includes contributions from the likes of FutureGov Consultancy, NHS Choices, WOM U
The book will be launched at a Central London event on Wednesday 24th February and feature talks from Tempero clients like the BBC and Gumtree.
About Tempero
For over ten years Tempero has been moderating user-submitted content on interactive environments such as message boards, blogs and social networks. They now protect more blue chip brands online than any other moderation company and have a client list featuring Unilever, M&S, Benetton, Channel 4, Sainsbury's and British Airways, as well as working within the public sector for the BBC, NHS and COI.
About Danvers Baillieau

Computer Science has become a great part of my life since I was young. At University while studying Computer Engineering, I developed a strong passion for AI, Machine Learning and Robotics and I started implementing in Java and C++ dozens of algorithms I encountered during my studies. Finally I started discovering Mathematical programming field as a way for calculating optimal decisions. While I was ending my Thesis in Computational Game Theory I worked for more than one year programming in C++ for a company in the fields of full flight simulators. Now I'm discovering the Android world while I'm looking around for a real job in the fields of AI or Robotics or Machine learning or Mathematical programming.

Siberia Documentary Premieres; Westmoreland Still Searching
The third documentary about beloved dive Siberia features nostalgic, alcohol-drenched glory stories from regulars like Michael Imperioli, Jimmy Fallon, Anthony Bourdain, an array of media types, and, of course, owner Tracy Westmoreland.
The third documentary about beloved dive Siberia (this one is by Jack Bryan, son of Anna Wintour's beau, Shelby) premiered last night at Soho House. The flick features nostalgic, alcohol-drenched glory stories from regulars like Michael Imperioli, Anthony Bourdain, an array of media types, and, of course, Tracy Westmoreland — the bar's larger-than-life (and at six feet, 250 pounds, just plain large) owner. It hits all the seminal moments, including the battle against Mitsubishi Estate Co., which evicted Siberia from its original location in a midtown subway station. During Westmoreland's yearlong legal battle with the company, he once chained himself, his wife, his three kids, and a priest to the building, then later brought a toilet from the bar to Mitsubishi's Tokyo headquarters to show he wasn't taking crap from anybody.The scenes from Siberia's second location are filled with close-up rants, dirty dancing, beer-bottle bowling, mysterious fires, and a guy swinging from the toilet chained to the ceiling. The interviewees concurred on a few points: At Siberia, you'd be accepted for who you were, unless you sucked; and if you ever get arrested, call Tracy. Westmoreland, who has been working as a bouncer and actor since the bar closed, was thrilled to be around his old friends last night, but he's itching to reopen Siberia. There have been negotiations with landlords, he says, "but the deal still has to get done. If it was easy, we'd all be famous bar owners." He'd like to stay in Hell's Kitchen, but as he has told us before, Westmoreland is flexible: "No matter where we go, if it's a fancy place or a dive, people will come. It's not about the space: It's about bringing the love and the people and the righteousness." Word. —Catrinel Bartolomeu

In 1986, Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo made their debut with the classic track "It's a Demo". However, unless you owned the 12″ single or had access to a radio station with enough sense to put the song into rotation, chances are you missed this song in its original state. Even with the advent of the internet and programs like Napster, classic hip-hop tracks only available on vinyl and cassette remained elusive. The main problem being that the user could never be certain their downloaded copy was the best replication in existence. This caused fans to endlessly chase and replace the same tracks in an attempt to secure a copy possessing the highest quality of sound. Fortunately for Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo fans, this tiresome search is over. Enter the Road To The Riches digitally re-mastered, deluxe-edition double CD. Those who already own "Road To The Riches" on CD may be understandably skeptical about purchasing the reissue. Rest assured, for the money, this product is a great value. Not only is the original 11-track album included, but also an abundance of bonus material providing a comprehensive catalog of Kool G. Rap and DJ Polo's material from 1986 to 1989. Not to mention, a well done 22-page booklet consisting of photos, lyrics and a brief rundown on the group's origin.
On disc one, the original album is followed up by freestyles and excerpts of G. Rap and Polo on Marley Marl's "In Control" radio show on WBLS. This portion acts as a dividing line between the original album and the material that preceded it. The excerpts successfully supply a nostalgic context for the era that generated classics such as "It's a Demo", "I'm Fly", and "Riker's Island." Disc one concludes with the hard to find alternative version of Big Daddy Kane's "Raw" featuring Kool G. Rap. A classic in which two lyrical geniuses trade verses and syncopated syllables over a loop of Bobby Byrd's "Hot Pants"; without a doubt, one of the strongest collaborations ever. Those familiar with the Cold Chillin', "Droppin' Science" compilation know this track. However, what they probably don't know is the version on "Droppin' Science" is missing the first nine seconds. Those nine seconds are intact on the "Road To The Riches" deluxe edition, a must have for any Kool G. Rap aficionado with obsessive compulsive disorder.
Disc two contains 14 tracks of material either previously unreleased or only available on vinyl. It is on these tracks that the nascent, raw essence of Kool G. Rap's remarkable word play and delivery is captured. Only to find its perfect compliment in Polo's cuts and Marley's sample heavy, break-beat laden tracks. Although digitally re-mastered, all the tracks retain that early, authentic sound unique to Marley Marl's second floor apartment in Queens known as The House of Hits. The spontaneity and unrefined nature of the tracks shine through in songs like the original 12inch version of "It's A Demo". There is no re-editing of the scratches that sometime fall off-beat. There is no sonic synthesis between the 808 hi-hats and the loops lifted off LPs. And there certainly is no studio polish added to the Kool Genius of Rap's lispy vocals. This is hip hop in the raw; just beats and rhymes. The original 12inch of this release was backed with "I'm Fly", another true-school track that consists of nothing more than a drum machine generated beat, scratches and vocals. No melody, no bass line, no groovy samples. Just hard snares in-your-face, coupled with heavy cuts and formidable articulations. "Riker's Island" follows suit, but remains unique in its subject matter as G. Rap poses a warning to young hoods selling drugs and engaging in violence. In "Rhyme Tyme" and the 12inch version(s) of "Poison", the production and lyrical formula is slightly elevated by the use of classic samples and G Rap's noticeably more confident delivery. For the discerning production head, the deluxe edition also provides instrumentals for all of the aforementioned original 12inch releases, except "Poison". However, also included in the deluxe version is the instrumental for "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not", plus an A capella version of "Men At Work". The former showcases Marley's production prowess, the latter is a lesson in lyrical acrobatics and breath control.
One of the intangible benefits of the deluxe edition is a clear understanding of the group's progression. This is a snapshot of a revolutionary moment in which Marley Marl's ingenuity changed the production game forever, while G. Rap's gave birth to today's Queensbridge gangster rap. From their first single in 1986, to the full album in 1989, this group raised the bar for all hip-hop releases that followed. And it doesn't take an enthusiast to appreciate the comprehensive collection of previously unreleased and vinyl-only singles the deluxe edition offers. All heads will appreciate this re-release, not only because of the digitally re-mastering that preserves the original sonic flavor, but also for the piece of history captured within this two disc set. Do not sleep on this reissue.

The 10 Hottest New Fall Hair Ideas
Up or down, sleek or tousled, there's a runway-inspired hairstyle that will work for you. Here's how to replicate the prettiest ones—straight from the pros working backstage at the fall fashion shows.
How to get it: This summer staple will still be going strong right into fall. To create the "easy, girly" braid at Lanvin, Guido applied Redken Wool Shake 08 Gel-Slush Texturizer to wet hair for hold, then roughly blew the hair dry to maintain its texture. He added a center part, then braided the hair starting at the nape of the neck, leaving the front pieces free.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans has been dating Nathan Griffith for quite some time and she seems to believe that her mother is very jealous of the strong relationship they have. For example, on the previous episode of the show, Jenelle felt that her mother was just attacking her finances for no reason. Perhaps she thought that things were going too well for her daughter. But Jenelle seems to think that maybe it is because her mother has never had such a relationship. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on March 17, "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans is now speaking out about the entire thing.
"I think she was jealous I was spending a lot more time with you, and she saw how happy you made me feel. And I think she might have been a little jealous because of our relationship, because her and Mike's didn't work out and Mike left," Jenelle theorized, to which Nathan responded "Maybe she just wanted a relationship like that with you." Of course, it sounds like Barbara just wants her daughter to grow up and start taking responsibility for her life.
"I come over and I'll go pick up Jace and then leave with him and not even spend any time there, it's not because I don't want to, I would like to. It's just it always ends up in an argument every single time," she explained. "I know my mom always misses me, and always cares for me, and loves me, it's just she does in a negative way and that's what pushes me away from her."
What do you think of Jenelle's theory? Do you think her mother just wants a good relationship with her daughter or does she want something more from her?

We all want to have good relationships with the people in our lives; for one thing, it makes us better parents. But sometimes this can be difficult. Relationships are packed with problems like misunderstandings, hurt feelings and painful conflicts. Sometimes we become frustrated or disappointed with people — even the most important people in our lives.
We might think that the answer to having a better relationship is simply to learn better relationship skills. Relationship skills are important, but the source of many of our relationship problems is not merely a lack of knowledge or skills. In many cases, we simply lack the commitment or motivation to do what we know we should do.
For example, most of us know we should eat more fruits and vegetables to have a good diet. We have the skills to prepare them. But many of us still don't eat well in spite of our knowledge and skills.
This is also true in relationships.
For example:
• We know how to say kind and helpful things. We have all the skills required. But many times we choose to criticize, complain or hurt others instead of being kind.
• We know how to listen to others. But many times we choose to continue talking or arguing instead of listening and trying to better understand the other person's feelings.
We may think that our behavior is justified. We tell ourselves that we have good reasons for the way we are acting. Yet we may be destroying a relationship.
A major obstacle to healthy relationships – in general and as we parent – is something that is called bias. It is the tendency to see people in negative ways. When our hearts and minds are filled with negative views, our relationships suffer.
Below are some of the most common forms of bias that afflict our relationships:
• We excuse ourselves for our mistakes while judging and blaming others for their mistakes.
• We give people who agree with us too much credit while giving people who disagree with us too little credit.
• We assume we are right in the way we see things while others are misguided.
• We are only open to those ideas that support our current views.
• We jump to conclusions based on gut reactions.
• We remember things the way we want to, rather than the way they actually were.
In other words, we think we are fair and sensible while actually being very biased or unfair in our assessments of the people and situations around us. By being aware of our biases, we can resist them. We can also cultivate three qualities of heart that help us avoid bias.
The Relationship Cure
1. Humility prepares our hearts.
Humility reminds us that we don't always see things clearly. Humility prepares our hearts to understand the stories, needs, pains and struggles of the people in our lives. When we are humble, we can better resolve relationship challenges.
When our hearts are biased, one response to conflict might be: "You don't know what you're talking about!" When we are humble, we might say: "Help me understand why you feel that way."
Humility helps us admit that we don't know the full story, and we aren't always right.
2. Compassion opens our hearts.
Often we feel that we can't possibly be compassionate with someone who is so ignorant/selfish/vain/wrong/demanding/critical! We think we cannot help but resent them. Yet compassion is a choice. We can choose to manage our feelings. Instead of beingabsorbed in our own irritation or pain, we can choose to open our hearts to the needs and pains of others.
The difference between a hard heart and a compassionate heart can be seen in the different ways we react when someone irritates us. When our hearts are hard, common thoughts might be: "This is all her fault!" or "He is such a pain!" A more compassionate response might be: "Maybe she is having a really bad day," or "Maybe he didn't mean that the way it sounded to me."
3. Positivity expands our hearts.
A negative heart accuses. It finds fault and itemizes complaints. A positive heart does the opposite. It looks for, focuses on and celebrates the good! A positive outlook expands our hearts and helps us to see the good in others.
In strong relationships people have about five positive thoughts and actions towards the other person for each negative one. When our hearts are negative, a common thought might be: "You really disappoint and irritate me."
In contrast, a more positive way of thinking about a relationship might include something like: "I'm grateful for the nice things you do for me."
Although our knowledge and skills are an important part of healthy relationships, they alone are not enough. We also need a willingness to recognize and treat the heart disease of bias within each of us. We can do this by using the remedies of humility, compassion and positivity to improve our relationships and strengthen our hearts. We can choose to get our hearts right.
A free workbook to help you overcome bias and strengthen relationships is now available from your University of Arkansas Cooperative Extension county office. Go to arfamilies.org for more programs and information.

PHOTO! A community is still searching for answers in the death of Emma Niederbrock and the arrest of her boyfriend, Horrorcore rapper Syko Sam (Richard Samuel McCroskey III).
What is horrorcore? Emma Niederbrock was remembered last weekend in a service that did not blame her death on her love of a particular genre of music. Horrorcore blends horror lyrics into a subgenre of hiphop.
The Rev. Sylvia S. Meadows told people in attendance:
"Music has a way of affecting the way you think, the way you feel".
Meadows said of their community:
"We can no longer live as though certain groups don't exist. We can no longer pretend that darkness and forces of evil aren't right under our noses."
McCroskey's sister still can't understand what went wrong:
"I want to hear his voice. I am so concerned, so worried — not just for him [but] other people, other families involved dealing with this loss".
Dead are Emma, her father, her friend Melanie Wells, and her mother Debra Kelly. Emma had invited McCroskey to go to a Horrorcore festival.

This was not some isolated killing by a lone nut killer.
It was an act of Anti-Christian Terrorism:
I don't wish to pass judgment on anyone but I do know that satanic music dulls your senses and makes you emotionally numb. It tortures your soul and you don't even realize it. People who listen to this type of music feel they are missing something in their lives and probably feel unwanted or unloved. Satanic culture whether it is musick, movies, books, posters, etc. is just that–satanic, from satan. Instead of reaching out to satan reach for the Lord instead. Pray to the Lord to change your life, give your life to Him. Buy the Bible instead of satanic cd's. The Lord can and will save you if you just believe in Him.

It's an old fashioned practice, but leave it to Disney to make it new again. Showing a cartoon or a short before the feature film use to be the norm, it is now almost unheard of. However, on November 7, 2014 Disney will present the short "Feast" in front of their new animated picture "Big Hero 6."
Synopsis "Feast"
The story of one man's love life is seen through the eyes of his best friend and dog, Winston, and revealed bite by bite through the meals they share.
Production notes
Director Patrick Osborne, who joined Walt Disney Animation Studios in 2008 as an animator on "Bolt," took part in the Studio's Spark program—which invites artists to explore their own unique ideas in a month-long project that is presented to the Studio team. His experimental short "Pet" was a hit among his fellow Disney artists. Osborne, whose credits Disney's 2010 feature "Tangled" and 2012's Oscar®-winning short "Paperman," for which he served as head of animation, was later tapped as co-head of animation for the upcoming feature "Big Hero 6." But his plans changed when he pitched the idea for "Feast" as part of WDAS' new shorts program—the project was greenlit with Osborne as director.
It's always exciting to see a new animated Disney flick, stay turned here for a review of both films.

June 4, 2013
SEATTLE -- Washington women's tennis head coach Jill Hultquist announced the addition of Angelo Niculescu as the new assistant coach. Niculescu replaces Luke Shields who left UW to become the men's associate head coach at Boise State.
"We are excited to bring Angelo Niculescu to UW," said head coach Jill Hultquist. "He is known to be a really hard worker and brings a lot of good energy to the courts."
Nicilescu comes to Washington from Portland State where he had been the assistant coach for both the men's and women's teams the past two seasons. He was the first assistant in that program's history and helped the Vikings to unparalleled success.
"Angelo was also a very successful collegiate player at the University of South Carolina," said Hultquist. "He has also been doing well in the Open events that are played in the summer in the Pacific Northwest."
Last season, the Portland State women finished with a record of 12-12, while the men were 9-12. Nicilescu split time between the two programs, but at Washington will get to focus on just coaching the women.
Before his time at Portland State, Niclulescu spent four years as the head pro and tennis director at the Cascade Athletic Club in Portland, Ore. During that time, he also worked as a part-time assistant coach at George Fox University, and worked as a tennis professional at several prestigious tennis clubs around the country - all while playing on the ATP tour and competing in the Pacific Northwest Men's Open tour.
For the last four years, Nicolescu has been the top-ranked player in both the USTA Pacific Northwest Men's Open Singles and Doubles, and has received the USPTA Pacific Northwest Player of the Year award every year for the past 4 years. He also won the U.S. Open Regional Playoffs in 2010 and 2011, giving him the opportunity to compete for a wild-card into the U.S. Open.
A native of Targu-Jiu, Gorj, Romania, Niculescu started playing tennis at the age of four and played under the instruction of his father Constantin, who runs the Tennisnic Academy of Romania. It wasn't long before Angelo was the top-ranked player in Romania, and one of the top junior tennis players in the world, maintaining a top-50 ITF junior world ranking throughout his junior career.

is a full list of ways in which you can currently help support Sorcerer's
Place. If you choose to donate, you can be sure that any money we
receive will be put to a good use at Sorcerer's Place since we are
always striving to make it even better than it already is. The costs
of running SP in its entirety are several hundred dollars per month.
With the little amount of money regular advertising brings in these
days, we can't cover even the server hosting expenses, let alone
anything else. (The costs include, among other things, paying for
the domain name, hosting, server upgrades, software & hardware
used in creating the site, message board upgrades, occasional site
redesigns etc.).
So many good sites have gone to the wall, victims
of the current climate, and we don't want to join them in the website
graveyard. Hopefully you feel the same way.
We know that regular visitors to the
site who enjoy the community features as well as the huge amount
of free content we have online will not be shy in making a small
contribution to keep it going. A few bucks a month may seem like nothing
to those reading this, but if enough people contribute, it can make
all the difference to the future of this site. Payments can be accepted
from all over the world, and we
have many different options besides PayPal through which people
can help alleviate the costs of running Sorcerer's Place independently,
so everyone can do something to help.
you want to show your appreciation for all the hard work and thousands
of hours invested in the site since 1999, and for our commitment
to bring you the best in the future as well, please consider helping

Bank Account Donations
you will probably be required to pay a certain fee for the transfer
of the money, you can also donate directly to my bank account from
your own bank. This is primarily for those people who (for some
reason) either do not want to bother with PayPal or simply fear
giving their sensitive information over the Internet, but would
still like to donate. (Although I must emphasize again that PayPal
is totally secure.)
me for my bank account details.
Donating by Mail
can send me either a cheque or cash (USD, GBP or Euro) directly
by regular mail. Simply make sure to hide it well enough in the
envelope, so that the contents can't be seen through. Just drop
an e-mail
my way and I'll provide you with my address.
Buying the SP Merchandise
earn a small sum (usually in the range of $1 to $2) from every item
bought in our Sorcerer's
Place Merchandise Shoppe. You get to buy some cool SP merch
and support SP at the same time!
Buying Through Our Amazon Stores
have set up extensive Fantasy
Books, Games
and DVDs stores
here on Sorcerer's Place. By purchasing anything from these stores
(by clicking on the Amazon links provided on our pages), we earn
a small commission. You do not pay anything more than your normally
would, so this is a really easy way to support SP without it even
costing you anything.
should you want to order something that is not listed in our stores,
you can use the appropriate Amazon search box (click here for .co.uk,
.de and .ca),
and anything you buy by using them to find it will still earn Sorcerer's
Place a commission, albeit a bit smaller one:
Buying Through Our ThinkGeek, Newegg or Good Old Games (GOG) Links
purchasing anything from:
through any of the advertisements on SP (or simply by clicking on the above links), we earn a small commission. You do not pay anything more
than your normally would, so this is another really easy way to
support SP without it costing you anything.
Letting the Pop-up Ads Load
pop-up ads placed on some pages are a necessary evil, since they
are literally the only form of advertising that pays at least moderately.
You do not have to click or buy anything you see advertised on them,
all it takes is letting them load fully before closing them. Otherwise
(if they are closed before they load fully, or blocked in any way),
they don't earn us anything. If you use a pop-up blocker, please
put Sorcerer's Place on the list of sites that you allow to show
pop-ups. This helps to insure our survival.
Showing & Clicking on the Advertising Banners
advertising on Sorcerer's Place is displayed via several advertising
banners. The banners are located throughout the site and our message
boards, and come in various sizes and positions. Some of the
ads do pay a small sum simply for showing (even if people don't click on them), but the
majority of them only pay if people click them, or buy something
from the pages that open after clicking on the banner.
clicking on the advertising on SP will help support the site and
make a difference. Advertising is the
primary means of supporting this site and the most important one because everyone can help the site this way at no cost
to themselves. If you are blocking the ads on Sorcerer's Place from displaying, please consider whitelisting sorcerers.net or getting an SPS account. Advertising is what allows us to keep all our content free and available to everybody - if you take that away, we have no way to pay the server bills at the end of every month.
(and this is important!), please don't go on a click-fest clicking
various ads across the site several dozen times a day. All advertising
providers these days have trackers that will discard large amount
of clicks coming from the same computer/IP in a short period of
time, so you aren't helping at all if you click too much, since
your clicks most likely won't count. Clicking a few ads a day is
plenty, and will help us out with paying the server costs.
Spreading the Word & Participating
might seem like a small thing, but the fact is, the more people
know about Sorcerer's Place and visit it regularly, the more successful
the site will be. The least we ask of our visitors is to support
us through word of mouth. Tell your friends and relatives about
Sorcerer's Place. Tell your fellow students and co-workers. Invite
them all to come check us out! You can let people know about SP
by e-mail, your IM of choice, by linking to us on your website,
in message board signatures... the more exposure Sorcerer's Place
gets, the better!
Finally, it's important to participate. Join in on the forums, hang out in the chat rooms. The more people we have taking part, the more useful this site will be for everyone!
you very much for helping us in any of these ways!

Unfortunately, reform has been held hostage to political posturing and special-interest wrangling," Obama said. "Now, under the pressures of partisanship and election-year politics, many of the 11 Republican senators who voted for reform in the past have now backed away from their previous support."
Nonetheless, Obama offered no new solutions, timetables or points of compromise. Instead, he outlined a longstanding prescription for change that, in addition to having no support from Republicans in Congress, also has failed to unite his fellow Democrats.

There are lots of people out there who like small and simple video cameras that they can use to shoot and upload lower resolution videos to YouTube and other sites. This sort of camera usually has sound that isn't that great.
Zoom has a camera called the Q3 that records high quality audio at 24-bit/48kHz. The device has a 2.4-inch rear LCD and records in 640 x 480 resolution at 30 frames per second.
The new lower price tag for the camera is $199, which is about $50 less than it sold for last year when it debuted. It has an integrated USB cable and ships with YouTube uploading software.
