The City of Lynn Haven is celebrating it's 100th year of existence. Although the centennial celebrations have been taking place all year, the city celebrated with a big block party Saturday night.
Hundreds of people came together on Florida Avenue between 7th and 9th streets Saturday evening. There was a little bit of something for everyone. A live band accompanied by some dancing and a bounce house and other activities for the younger residents. But one of the biggest draws for people of all ages was the dunking booth. Mayor Walter Kelley took a couple turns followed by city commissioners and Panama City Mayor Greg Brudnicki.
"I think they should do it more often to be quite honest. It brings everybody out together. It brings people out in a nice atmosphere, in a relaxing atmosphere for the evening and we came out to see what's going on," said Lynn Haven Resident for 28 years, Rita Miller.
The block party wrapped up at 10:00 Saturday night but organizers say they hope to start hosting a similar event every month.

The full moon this Friday will bring out intense emotions, but not because it is Valentine's Day. While Valentine's Day does carry its own type of influence and energy, it does not as much influence as the traditional holidays in the Wheel of the Year. Holidays such as Yule, Imbolg, etc. are based on the astronomical forces and changes of nature. For this reason they carry more energy and influence on the world around us.
Valentine's Day carries its own power because that power has been imbued by the thoughts and feelings of human beings. This is a valid and respectable source of a day's influence, but not as powerful as the sources that come from nature.
What causes this month's full moon to bring out powerful emotions is the fact that this full moon is in Leo. Leo is a fire sign and according to astrologers Leo is the sign of strong feelings. Since Leo also has a talent for showmanship and loves to be the center of attention, these emotions are not hidden but on display for the world to see.
Love of all kinds will be strong that day. So will happiness. Unfortunately so will all other emotions such as sadness, anger and jealousy. So what can you do?
Be aware of the Leo moons influence on yourself and others. If you feel your emotions rising to an unreasonable level, rein them in. If people around you seem unusually out of sorts or crabby, realize it may be the Leo moon and step back. It may be best not make decisions based on intense emotions. When the emotions have passed, you may regret them.
On the other hand, it is also a day for realizing the fullness of your love for yourself and others. You may find yourself revealing long held back emotions towards loved ones.
The full moon is also a good time to gather and send healing energy to those who need it. It is also a good time for visualizing your dreams and focusing the energy on accomplishing them. Full moon meditations have been known to reveal new life paths that one has not previously considered.
As always, protect yourself, center yourself, and remember to thank whichever deities you call upon for help.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina's softball team (21-30, 11-12 C-USA) were swept in a conference series for the third time this season with a 6-1 loss to UCF (29-24, 10-14 C-USA) on Sunday during the team's Senior Day for Kai Clark and Cicely Lopez at ECU Softball Stadium. The Pirates' offense was again limited to two hits and has totaled four hits and one run in the last 14 innings. UCF scored five of the team's six runs in the seventh inning. ECU is currently riding a five-game losing streak into the annual conference tournament.
Sophomore Courtney Smith (5-15) was tagged with the loss and allowed six runs in throwing her 12th complete game of the season. Mackenzie Audas (14-16) went the distance for UCF and surrendered just the two hits, one walk and struck out seven.
The Knights scored the game's winning run on a double steal of second and home in the seventh inning. Kahley Novak reached base on a lead-off single. She took second and then third when the base was left uncovered on the bunt single from Samantha McCloskey. McCloskey then stole second as Novak stole home in what would be the game-winning run. UCF added four more runs in the frame with the big hit being the bases clearing double from Kalyn Cenal.
Earlier in the game, the Pirates ended the top of the first inning with a diving catch from junior Jill Jelnick in left field to end the frame.
Jordan Lewis reached second on a hustle double to start the second, but the next three batters were retired on a pop out and back-to-back strikeouts to keep the game scoreless.
For the third-straight game UCF scored first with its run in the third inning. Maddy Schroeder recorded a one-out double and took third on a sacrifice bunt. She scored the game's first run on a wild pitch on the final ball of a walk to Farrah Sullivan.
The Knights put a runner into scoring position in the fifth inning. Kaitlyn Steckel walked and stole second, but was stranded to end the frame.
The ECU defense prevented a run in the sixth inning as junior right fielder Jasmine Robbins threw out Sullivan trying to score from second on a single. The outfield assist was the 17th of the season for ECU.
Robbins led-off the bottom of the inning with her second home run of the season to tie the game at one all. ECU threatened to break the game open and untie the score later in the frame as Jelnick was hit by a pitch and junior Alex Fieldhouse walked, but a strikeout ended the inning.
Next, the Pirates head to the C-USA Conference Tournament in Tulsa, Okla. from May 9-11 at the Collins Family Softball Complex. The single-elimination tournament begins with ECU taking on Marshall at a yet to be determined time.

FORT COLLINS – In the post-Chucky Jeffery era, even though the Colorado women's basketball team might still be in search of a specific go-to player, the No. 17 Buffs made a significant opening-night discovery.
They had talked about having each other's backs, and when crunch time arrived against their in-state rival Tuesday night, they backed each other up. CU withstood a late Colorado State comeback and escaped with a 63-59 win in its 2013-14 season opener at Moby Arena.
"We stuck together and that's a major accomplishment," said forward Arielle Roberson, whose layup with 6:43 left was the Buffs' last field goal of the night. "One of the things we talked about was having each other backs. I think we had that, especially down the stretch. I didn't feel like I was playing one-on-one; I felt like my teammates had my back. I think everyone felt that way."
CU led by as many as 13 points twice in the final 10 minutes, including 59-46 on Roberson's final basket. But the Rams outscored the Buffs 13-1 during that span and pulled to within 60-59 on a basket by Ellen Nystrom with 2:15 to play.
CSU had an opportunity to go ahead on a possession in the final minute, but Roberson stole the ball with 51 seconds left. Jasmine Sborov hit two free throws with 27 seconds showing, giving her a career-high 13 points and putting the Buffs ahead 62-59.
After Buffs center Rachel Hargis blocked Elin Gustavsson at the other end, Brittany Wilson hit one of two free throws with 2.4 seconds remaining – and the resilient Rams were done. The Buffs, who won 72-46 last season in Boulder and padded their series lead to 34-11, return to the Coors Events Center on Friday night to play Alcorn State in their home opener (7 p.m.).
The versatile Sborov, who has seen her role undergo alterations in each season of her college career, said hitting the two late free throws "felt good, I'm not going to lie. It was really comforting to know my teammates and coaches trust me with those shots. I feel comfortable taking them and they give me reassurance."
But, she added with a smile, if she had dwelled too much on the scenario when she stepped to the free throw line, "I would have been a head case. I tried not to think about it and tried to act like it was a regular free throw in practice. And that's what Jen (Reese) said – shoot it just like practice."
The Rams' late 13-1 run included a pair of free throws by Caitlin Duffy following a technical foul called on CU coach Linda Lappe. Duffy, who had hit a three-pointer on the previous possession, sank both free throws and pulled the Rams to 60-57 with 2:30 to play. CSU closed to within one on Nystrom's basket but could get no closer.
Lappe's explanation of her 'T:' "My clipboard fell . . . I didn't say anything . . . it wasn't the smartest move. But the players have each other's back and my back. When you're a team and you're family, people make mistakes. There were a lot of missed shots, a lot of fouls, and I definitely made a mistake. I think it shows a lot of resilience from our team."
Said Roberson: "I think with the technical we definitely could have folded, but we didn't. I think that's a positive for us."
Lappe called her team's victory "gutsy," adding, "We found a way to win, which is really important. First game of the year, on the road against your rival . . . CSU is a good team. We got stops when we needed to, got rebounds and made free throws when we needed to. There's a lot of things to take out of this game."
And there are areas that obviously need improvement. The Rams turned the Buffs' 19 turnovers into 15 points and outscored the visitors 28-24 in the paint. Gustavsson scored a game-high 21 points and got assistance from Duffy with 13 and Sam Martin with 10.
CU benefited from balanced scoring from its five starters, with Roberson and Sborov each scoring 13. Reese added eight points and guard Lexy Kresl grabbed a career-high nine rebounds, with four points and four assists.
Kresl said the Buffs knew the Rams "had improved from last year. We didn't want to underestimate them. They had five people on the floor that could score. It was a really big challenge for us defensively."
She conceded the Buffs eased up when they opened their 13-point leads, but called the way the win was finally secured "good . . . especially in the first game of the year. It shows you a lot about our team and our heart."
The Buffs opened the night by hitting four of their first eight field goal attempts and went ahead 10-4 before cooling off. When the cold touches arrived, they lingered; CU went 0-for-7 from the field during a 6:18 stretch and CSU took advantage.
The Rams caught and overtook the Buffs 11-10 at on a Martin three-pointer with 11:15 left in the first half and increased their lead to as many as four (22-18) just under 5 minutes later. During that Rams run, the Buffs' lone spark was freshman Zoe Beard-Fails, who got five points and two rebounds in 2 minutes. She also picked up two fouls and Lappe said Beard-Fails needed to improve her defense before getting significant minutes against scorers like CSU puts on the floor.
"Right now, she's not quite ready to guard a team like CSU where all five players can shoot the three, drive, score one-on-one," Lappe said. Beard-Fails did not play in the second half.
With about 5 minutes left before halftime, CU appeared to at least temporarily solve its turnover (10 for the half) and shooting problems and launched a 13-0 run that opened a nine-point lead. After an Ashley Wilson basket to start the surge, Reese scored on a put-back and a turnaround jumper from the foul line, Roberson hit a jumper, Reese followed with another and Lauren Huggins drained a three-pointer.
Suddenly, the Buffs were up 31-22, although by halftime the Rams had trimmed that lead to 33-27.
The second half started as the Sborov show. The 6-0 junior scored CU's first six points of the half on two field goals and a pair of free throws, jump-starting an 11-5 run that sent the Buffs up by 12 (44-32).
They led by as many as 13 points twice in the final before the Rams launched their comeback and put a large opening-night scare into the visitors.
"They're a really good team, much better than last year," Sborov said. "But I do think making a big run like that, you do start getting a little too comfortable. That's what need to work on – keep our foot on the gas pedal, keep going until the game's over."

Indonesia is an amazing part of this Earth. It's Ring of Fire existence features cones of smoldering volcanoes. Its islands stretch far across Indo-Pacific waters. They are surrounded by many current-fed seas. It is believed to be the cradle of marine biodiversity. Nowhere are more odd and unusual creatures found, especially beneath the waves. These seas have kept its cultures and animals isolated in may regions. Throwbacks to the dinosaur, like the Komodo dragon, still roam here. Many unique cultures have also developed and express their uniqueness through art, apparrel and cuisine. I have been fortunate to be able to see and explore many of Indo's regions above and below. The following pages have some of my favorite images of the special people, grand landscapes and amazing ocean beauty that Indonesia has to offer. We start in the east in Bali and move all the way to West Papua, visiting the colorful and the special.

Some thoughts from a kitty's perspective
the endless search for foodJune 3rd 2011 12:54 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 4 people already have ]
Tiggie's Mom here - I just really need to vent. I did in the forums already. I certainly do not want to keep Tig on the prescription diet forever. I am afraid that the acid will cause him other problems down the line. I just put him on it, because he still blocked even being on 90% Natural Balance wet& 10% Blue Buffalo Wilderness dry. Had to get the PH down. I don't even know how long to keep him on that food. The vets say they can have it the rest of their life, but I am not happy with the ingredients, and boy do it stink! pew! But trying to find a wet food that is low minerals, has no fish except for salmon oil, and is not shredded. I looked online so much I got a headache. I don't even know how to figure out what the mineral % should be. It's like I just want to see a can, and it is exactly what I need. I realize there is no perfect food, but this really should not be this blasted hard. Every time I think I found something, I read that it is not so good. Or Smitty won't eat it. He is doing so good without any kibble - I am so proud of him. He takes all these meds with little complaint and eats his food like a good boy. ok now I feel better. The search continues tomorrow.....

Baxter took urine acidifying pills & he lived to be 15 years old. I don't remember the name of the pills,but I'll try to find them online. They worked really well for him.
Sorry you's so frustrated!! We's will keep yous & Tigger in our prayers!! Good luck on the search for the right foodies!!
Purrs for you, Tigger!!!
Purring you can find some good food.

In the Face of Death
Published: July 6, 2003
(Page 3 of 10)
Jeffrey Gill, a 38-year-old deputy prosecutor who had never before tried a death-penalty case, gave the opening statement. He laid out the crime and told the jury about the existence of the videotape. It was a presentation marked by its spareness. The facts in the case were chilling and indisputable.
Then Bob Hill, a 47-year-old defense attorney who had previously represented 14 men facing capital punishment, just flat out conceded to the jury that he had no case. Hill, who has a folksy manner, told the jurors that the prosecution ''has plenty of evidence to convict Jeremy Gross. I would be an idiot if I said otherwise.'' But, he went on, ''we have substantial evidence to preserve his life.'' Hill then played for them the videotape of Gross walking into the Convenient Food Mart and shooting Beers three times. It was a gamble, but he knew the tape would be presented at some point and he thought it best if he did it right up front. ''It was the most damning piece of evidence, and we couldn't make it go away,'' he told me recently. ''I made it clear that it was Jeremy who pulled the trigger, and here's the videotape to show that. I told them there's no excuse for what Jeremy did, but I can explain how he gets to that convenience store.''
The jurors watched the video on a large television screen. They were, to a person, horrified, though most found it confusing -- at least at this first viewing, since four camera angles play out simultaneously, and it all happens in a mere 41 seconds. In the tape, Beers, dressed in a sweatshirt and shorts, seems baffled by Gross's single-minded effort to kill him. Some jurors weren't fully able to make sense of the scene until the very end, when Gross walks into the anteroom and shoots Beers in the head. In the final moments, Beers can be seen reaching out to Gross for support. The jurors were riveted. Gross turned his head. ''You're talking about a coldhearted act,'' Hill told the jurors, ''but you're not talking about a cold heart.''
In those early days of the trial, the jurors avoided making eye contact with Gross, who at Hill's instructions was cleanshaven and well dressed in a polo shirt, dress slacks and loafers. It was impossible, though, for the jurors not to take notice of him. Some were struck by how young he looked. Indeed, Gross, who had had a buzz cut in jail, had let his hair grow at Hill's request so he'd look more youthful. Gross had also put on nearly 50 pounds since he'd been arrested, so his face appeared pudgy, softening his already boyish features. Others were struck by his lack of affect. One juror thought he looked so disconnected that it was as if he were on trial for shoplifting. In fact, Gross was so nervous that his legs twitched, and he often sat gripping the defense table, looking into space, which he later told me was the one way he could stop his involuntary leg movements.
The jurors were shaken by the video, and during a 20-minute break sat in the jury room in complete silence. ''It seemed coldblooded and malicious and premeditated,'' recalled one juror. ''I think everyone was just stunned.'' In the guilt phase of the trial, which lasted two days, the jurors saw the videotape once again, this time with the audio, as well as photographs from the crime scene, including the snapshot of a bloody Beers lying by the dangling pay phone. They also heard the prosecution make a convincing argument that Gross planned the robbery and went to the Convenient Food Mart intending to kill Beers. And the prosecution played for the jurors Gross's confession to detectives, in which he told them: ''He knew it was me. . . . I just couldn't stop. My fingers just kept going.''
Hill did little to counter the evidence but instead began to offer snippets of Gross's childhood. He also suggested that Gross had smoked marijuana before the robbery and murder, which might provide reason to not convict him of intentional murder.
Toward the end of the guilt phase, a juror told the judge about an unnerving incident in the jury room. One juror, playing a game of hangman, drew a gallows on the blackboard and what appeared to be an electric chair. Hill considered asking the judge to excuse the juror but in the end chose not to because he had misgivings about the alternates. But, he said: ''That scared me to death. I didn't know if that was a message, or if she was preparing herself for it.''
The deliberations took five and a half hours, longer than anyone had anticipated. One juror, Cheryl Berkowitz, who in the voir dire told the lawyers that she believed the death penalty wasn't imposed often enough, had come to believe that Gross must have been high when he committed the murder and so hadn't been in his right mind. But it went deeper than that. Berkowitz had also come to identify with him. She was a recovering cocaine addict and alcoholic. Berkowitz, a soft-featured woman who often looks as if she has a lot on her mind, spent her nights during the trial reading recovery literature. She knew firsthand what drugs could do to one's mental state. ''There was a time I thought about robbing a convenience store so I could get thrown in jail and get off of drugs,'' she told me. She had even once shot at her husband and missed. More than anything, though, Berkowitz was struck by how young Gross looked. ''That was everything,'' she said. ''It was hard to put the two together, this young kid sitting there -- he looked scared -- and this videotape. I have a son, too. He was 23 at the time. I looked at Jeremy and thought, What the hell happened? Why would you be out robbing someone? He was just a kid to me.''

Tonganoxie man scheduled for appearance in Wisconsin court in attempted murder case
May 10, 2011
A 33-year-old Tonganoxie man will have a preliminary hearing at 9:30 a.m. Thursday in Wisconsin in an attempted murder case.
Jeffrey E. Jones faces charges of attempted first-degree murder, aggravated battery and first-degree reckless endangerment in Wisconsin stemming from an alleged stabbing outside a bar.
Jeffrey E. Jones, 33, Tonganoxie, was taken to Leavenworth County Jail after being arrested at his home April 12 on a warrant from Kenosha, Wis. He was moved May 2 to the Kenosha County Jail and had a preliminary hearing May 3 where his arrest was vacated and cash bond was set at $100,000, Kenosha police Detective Chad Buchanan said.
Buchanan said that the charges include the use of a dangerous weapon.
According to a criminal complaint, Jones is alleged to have repeatedly stabbed a 22-year-old Kenosha man outside a Kenosha bar after attempting to fight the man.
The man was walking home from the bar with his girlfriend, the report states. The 22-year-old had attempted to break up a verbal argument between Jones and another person, according to the 22-year-old's accounts in the report.
The 22-year-old was stabbed in his neck, chest and left forearm and hand and required treatment of a punctured lung and lacerated spleen, according to reports from the emergency room doctor who treated the man.
Buchanan said Jones appeared to be a longtime Kansas resident.
"I believe from information I have that he's, for the most part, a lifelong resident of Kansas," Buchanan said. "Through my investigation I was able to track him down to Tonganoxie."
Buchanan said he could not comment on why Jones was in Wisconsin at the time of the alleged stabbing.
The charges are felonies and carry a punishment of 12 to 65 years in Wisconsin prison.

"A turtle's home is on his back," our third grade teacher once told us. Bullsh*t. You try living in a shell for a week and tell us if that supposed "house" feels like a home. That's why we're buying our favorite reptile an Exo Terrar Bent Glass Turtle Terrarium ($110-250). In this transparent case, he can both swim and relax on some rocks. Now that's a real home, Mrs. Hawkins!

Is it possible to look like a rockstar right after you give birth? Umm of course it is....especially if you're sporting a Gown-2-Go- Designer Maternity Hospital Gown ($69), which can be completely customized with your favorite fabric. Make that first family photo one that you're happy to display!
This is super cute but it doesn't have easy nursing access which is super necessary those first few days!
I agree with Tia about the boob access thing, plus... everything you wear at the hospital during and after giving birth gets blood on it, including your socks. Just wear the hospital's gowns and socks. They aren't pretty, but you don't have to worry about stains.
OK, I just read that the sleeves unsnap for nursing access, but still... it will get very stained. Would be super cute for when you're home and not so bloody anymore!
I have to disagree. I've had two little ones and I can't really say I got blood on anything except of course when you're actually in labor.I would totally slip into this after I delivered! Great for when family and friends come to visit you and baby. LOVE!
I am all for bringing your own gown... You never know who might have died wearing the hospital gown!!! (Shiver) not
To mention all the hondreds of people that have worn it before you! (Gross)
Yes it's pricey but it will look good in pictures and for me I know I am the only person who's worn it!

Equifunk, the all-inclusive, sleep-away music festival held annually in the Pocono Mountains, has managed to win over the hearts of many repeat attendees who come back for good funk, good times, and free beer. The first day put the machine into motion – the booze was flowing and the musicians gracing the stage made sure things got off to a hot start.
The Main Squeeze kicked off Friday evening's festivities with painfully tight grooves spanning many originals and covers. Highlights included the band's energetic performance of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground," and lead singer Corey Frye's soulful, funkadelic rendition of Zeppelin's "No Quarter."
Following The Main Squeeze was one of the most anticipated acts of the day – JJ Grey & Mofro. Building on The Main Squeeze's funky momentum, JJ and his army of musical friends raised the bar, picking from their classic (and vast) repertoire. After an outstanding version of "99 Shades of Crazy," Grey grabbed the mic and noted that the group had arrived early that morning and played a little basketball. One aspect of Equifunk that sets it apart from other summer music festivals is the communal vibe. Performers are regularly seen hanging out with the audience before and after their sets, enjoying the other acts and unique amenities (like basketball and tennis courts and, of course, the swimming pool). It really is a one-of-a-kind experience.
The New Mastersounds took the stage after JJ Grey and the four-piece powerhouse from Leeds proved Brits know how to get down and dirty. Artist-at-large James Casey of the Shady Horns and Trey Anastasio Band joined the group to sprinkle some top-notch saxophone into the mix. Their set was simply the evening's stand out, attracting the most enthusiastic crowd thus far.
Electronic duo Boombox closed out opening day of Equifunk 2013 with a late night set (2-3:30am) that took the eager audience in a different direction. Thumping bass lines tangled with clean-toned electric guitar consumed and entranced the crowd. The group's already intriguing light show was made even cooler by the fog that rolled through the surrounding skies.
As Boombox exited the stage the party was put on hold. But the next day of music is only hours away. –Tyler Curtis

Diamonds are a girl's best friend, and the same could be said for Signet Jewelers. The parent company of Kay Jewelers and Jared the Galleria of Jewelry, announced their plans to acquire the Zales Corporation on February 19th. According to the New York Times, the asking price was just right at $690 million. Signet Jewelers believe the new merger will build help build the company's economic portfolio, and expand it's presence in the jewelry industry throughout the United States and Canada.
While many people think of mergers and corporate buyouts, one thing typically comes to mind: financial crisis, especially in the case of the company being sold. We typically imagine stockholders frantically selling their company shares in an attempt to "abandon ship." In the case of the Zales Corporation and Signet Jewelers, that really isn't true. Within the last couple of days following the announcement of the merger, Zales stock experienced significant gains in regard to the New York Stock Exchange. As of 5:00 pm on February 24th, the company reported a financial gain of 0.64% with the Dow and 0.69% with the Nasdaq. Signet Jewelers' stock stayed pretty much the same throughout the day, with only an average loss of 0.06% at the close of business. These figures really don't seem like that big of a deal, but they are a stark comparison to Zales' economic performance in the years following the national economic downturn. In fact, Zales Corporation had a record profit of $10 million for 2013, it's highest rate of profit since 2007. It seems that especially Zales stockholders had much to be excited about in regard to the recent merger and the NYSE results within the last several days since the deal with Signet Jewelers.
"They were very open to our approach," Signet Jeweler's CEO Michael W. Barnes stated about Zales stockholders. "They have been extremely collaborative."
Barnes said he has been contemplating about a merger between the two companies since he became CEO of Signet Jewelers three years ago, and is very excited to see his vision become a reality. Signet Jewelers had been in discussion with the Zales Corporation for several months in regard to the merger. The merger is still subject to approval by Zales Corporation shareholders, but it seems to be a smooth process so far.
For consumers, it doesn't seem very much will change in the near future in regard to Zales locations. Signet Jewelers have publicly expressed their desire to continue the Zales name and association. Additionally, Signet Jewelers will also acquire access to brands that were formerly exclusive to Zales Jewelers, such as the Vera Wang Love Collection and the Celebration Diamond line. Ideally, it seems that Signet Jewelers will be able to provide a wider range of selection throughout all locations. Zales Corporation also owned Piercing Pagoda, which will also become an asset of Signet Jewelers.
Shortly after the news of the marriage of Signet Jewelers and Zales Corporation, internet chatrooms were abuzz; many Zales customers are concerned that the Zales retail outlets will lose their unique style of personalized customer service. However, Signet Jewelers haven't defined any future plans to change customer service or sales policies. Fine jewelry enthusiasts will just have to wait and see what is in store for the Zales brand.

The Range Rover Evoque has taken the award for World Design Car of the Year 2012 during the 2012 New York International Auto Show, with the tally of awards for the Evoque, which is available to rent out on car leasing schemes, now reaching more than 100 accolades from all over the world.
The Range Rover Evoque was on the shortlist, which had as many as 46 nominations originally, but managed to beat off tough competition from the other two finalists, the Volkswagen up! and the Citroen DS5.
Five extremely well respected judges from all over the world were on the panel that decided the shortlist, with all of the 66 World Car Jurors, each of whom are high level, well respected automotive journalists from as many as 25 different countries, then voting on those listed. One of those experts was the managing editor of the magazine Auto & Design, Silvia Baruffaldi. "True to the concept car it derives from, it is a contemporary automotive design masterpiece," Baruffaldi says. "Besides not having equals in the markets, it is able to deliver the Land Rover DNA in a more compact, sporty body-style, a premium product without the bad habit of showing off."
The award winning design of the Range Rover Evoque is matched by its excellent, class-leading performance, with agile and dynamic handling across all kinds of terrain and a number of other innovative Range Rover technologies such as Terrain Response.

Knowledge and innovation are unevenly distributed across geographical space and have become major factors in the development of regions. Recent research has also found that geographical proximity between the actors in generating innovations may play a role in how much innovation takes place. But there is no research that shows whether the role of geographical proximity between innovators has increased over time. Using the US patent database, we are investigating changes in the role of geographical proximity from the 1970s to the present. Preliminary results show that, indeed, the role of proximity at the US metropolitan level has increased substantially. Further research will refine this result and investigate it at the sectoral and "technology field" level.

A new proposal from the Bush administration may make it more difficult for African American students hoping to attend college. The proposal would end college-prep programs that service low-income or at-risk students and would replace them with block grants given to the states.
Right now- according to the Council of Opportunity in Education- these programs such as Upward Bound and Talent Search aid at least 872,000 low-income Americans.
Thirty-five percent of those supported are African-Americans.
The proposal is not clear on how the money from the cut programs would be used or if it would benefit the same set of students.
The proposal would also eliminate the federal Perkins Loan Program and transfers the funds into Pell Grants. Already, over 85,000 students have become ineligible for the Pell Grant from a change in the formula and 1.2 million students will receive smaller awards.
Even for those who are eligible, the Pell Grant is not sufficient financial aid. A 2002 Institute for Higher Education Policy study reported that, at most, the Pell Grant covers about one-third of the cost of a four-year public institution.
When students pay off their loans, it is the Perkins Loan that allows a lenient repayment plan for those who pursue low-paying careers such as social work and teaching in low-income districts.
The timing of these cuts coincides with financial aid cuts in numerous states and suggests smaller awards to fewer students.
John Turner, the Asst. Area Develop. Dir. of the United Negro College Fund (UNCF), said these cuts will have a negative impact on minority students. In Turner's view, a classical education- a high school and college degree- is the only way to earn white-collar jobs. Without the opportunity for an education, African American students may be led astray.
Many people will get discouraged and paralyzed from analyzing the situation, Turner described, [Students] may become prey to the eels of society such as gangs, drugs, and jail.
Turner suggested that the community will have to compensate for the cuts by participating in programs such as the UNCF.
The UNCF disperses its community-raised funds to 39 colleges, 38 of which are concentrated south of the Mason-Dixon Line , to lower tuition for students. The left over money supplements financial aid.
Turner also suggested that students will have to rally around different options of financing.
But finding alternatives may not be so easy. Private loans are difficult for low-income students to qualify for and they have higher interest rates. If the proposal brings cuts in direct federal aid and in programs such as Leveraging Educational Assistance Partnership (LEAP) that provides need-based grants, the range of options in federal loans will decrease.

Its late Middle Ages Gothic architecture is admirable. The spire, with its stone lacework, is one of the highest in Alsace. The west façade has a splendid 15m-high doorway while the flamboyant north doorway is enhanced by attractive 15C statues. The interior is particularly deep and has fine 15C windows and 51 oak stalls dating from the same period where Middle Age fantasy has run riot.

Disease Proof
Pollution Bad for the Heart
Sadly, our world seemingly gets more and more polluted each day. And news like this really puts it into perspective. A new study has determined people who regularly breathe in heavy traffic fumes face increased heart attack risk. Ed Edelson of HealthDay News reports:
"It's not limited to freeways," said lead researcher Barbara Hoffmann, head of the unit of environmental epidemiology at the University of Duisburg-Essen. "We see it in inner-city dwellings on heavily traveled streets as well."For more on the dangers of toxins, check out DiseaseProof's toxins category.
Her team published the findings in the July 17 issue of Circulation.
The damage to the arteries seen in such people is similar to that produced by inhaling secondhand tobacco smoke, "although the effect we see here in this study is even larger than that caused by secondhand smoke," Hoffmann said.
Most of the blood vessel damage is due to high levels of particulate pollutants in vehicle exhaust fumes, Hoffmann speculated, although there might be other contributing factors, such as the constant noise of heavy traffic "which can contribute to high blood pressure."

Caroline Federighi 's nine saves backstopped a dominant defensive effort as the Oregon lacrosse team defeated Denver, 7-4, in the semifinal round of the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Tournament on Friday.MORAGA, Calif. – Freshman
First-team All-MPSF selections Alex Breiner
and Jana Drummond
combined for seven points to move the Ducks (8-8) into their first MPSF Tournament finals appearance in school history. Breiner tallied four points on three goals and an assist while Drummond contributed three points on a goal and an assist.
After falling behind the Pioneers, 6-1, in the regular season finale six days ago, the Ducks got off to a much faster start on Friday. Breiner got the scoring started with her 35th goal of the year 2:52 into the contest and Drummond tacked on her 34th 1:13 later to put UO up 2-0.
Denver bounced back and tallied the next three goals, getting on the board with a little over eight minutes expired on an Alex Befus tally, tying it on a Lauren Ciccomascolo free position goal at 13:57 and grabbing a 3-2 lead on a goal by Annebelle Gilbride with 9:06 remaining in the opening frame.
Undeterred, the Ducks countered with three unanswered goals of their own to close the first half up 5-3. Drummond's second goal of the day evened the contest at 3-3, Bina Barrett
put the Ducks back in front with 3:18 remaining and Hayley Milner
converted a Breiner feed to make it 5-3 a minute later.
Breiner opened the second half with two straight goals, one on a free position shot two minutes in and another off a Drummond feed with 7:02 gone by. The score held until Becca Steinberg converted a free position attempt with 16:36 remaining to make it a 7-4 game.
The Pioneers fired seven more shots the rest of the way in an effort to draw closer, but Federighi made five of her saves in the final 15 minutes to secure the Ducks' victory and pick up her third win of the season.
"We are glad to take this step into the finals," head coach Jen Larsen
said. "It's a nice win, but now our focus shifts towards Stanford on Sunday."
Oregon will take on No. 6 Stanford for a bid to the NCAA Tournament on Sunday. Opening draw is at 1 p.m.

Roaches in my apartment.

"I've been living in a apartment for 8 months now, in Metairie LA, 7 of the 8 months I've had to deal with roaches. Can I get out of my lease without having to pay the early move out fee of $1,200.
Probably not. You'll likely lose your deposit and be sued for it because breaking your lease is not the usual legal remedy for roaches. And even if it was, you just don't up and leave without proper notice of the defect and giving the LL the opportunity to cure.
The Louisiana landlord tenant statute is very brief and starts with RS 9:3201 at:
They do have an exterminator, he's been in my apartment about 5 times now and nothing seems to work. This has been such a burden to me and has been taking a toll on me and my pets.
I suggest you find a do-it-yourself pest control store and buy the professional chemicals and a 1 gallon sprayer and do your own spraying.
You'll have a lot more success that way rather than risking a lawsuit and having to defend yourself in court.

For release: March 23, 2009
Mark Murphy, Division Director for Technical and Administrative Services, 515-294-2618
Alex King, Ames Laboratory Director, 515-294-2770
Steve Karsjen, Public Affairs, 515-294-5643
AMES, Iowa—The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Ames Laboratory will receive approximately $1.7 million as part of President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The funds are part of $1.2 billion announced by Secretary of Energy Steven Chu today from funding allocated under the Recovery Act to DOE's Office of Science.
The funds will support an array of Office of Science-sponsored construction, laboratory infrastructure, and research projects across the nation. The Secretary made the announcement during a visit to Brookhaven National Laboratory, in Upton, NY.
"Leadership in science remains vital to America's economic prosperity, energy security, and global competitiveness," said Secretary Chu. "These projects not only provide critically needed short-term economic relief but also represent a strategic investment in our nation's future. They will create thousands of jobs and breathe new life into many local economies, while helping to accelerate new technology development, renew our scientific and engineering workforce, and modernize our nation's scientific infrastructure."
The Ames allocation is part of $1.2 billion that Secretary Chu announced is being disbursed now in the first installment of a total of $1.6 billion allocated to the DOE Office of Science by Congress under the Recovery Act legislation. Officials are working on details remaining to enable approval and release of the balance of $371 million. The funding will be applied to infrastructure projects at the Ames Laboratory:
$1,285,000—Three energy conservation projects: a fume hood stack sealing project in Spedding Hall; lighting upgrades in the Technical and Administrative Services Facility, Spedding Hall and Wilhelm Hall; and upgrading restrooms with low-flow fixtures in TASF, Spedding Hall and Wilhelm Hall.
$425,000—Upgrading 145 windows in Spedding Hall by replacing 55-year-old single-pane aluminum windows with modern double-pane, low-emissivity windows with thermal-break frames.
"Ames Laboratory is thrilled to receive this funding, which will help in reducing the Lab's overall energy consumption," said Mark Murphy, division director for Technical and Administrative Services. Murphy estimates the energy reduction resulting from the infrastructure projects at approximately 15 percent of total usage or a savings of nearly $184,000 annually. Preparation for work on the projects will begin immediately.
"This will create jobs in the short term, reduce our environmental footprint, and produce long-term savings that will help to ensure jobs in the future, too," said Ames Laboratory Director Alex King.
Ames Laboratory is a U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science laboratory operated for the DOE by Iowa State University. Ames Laboratory creates innovative materials, technologies and energy solutions. We use our expertise, unique capabilities and interdisciplinary collaborations to solve global challenges.
DOE's news release is available at www.energy.gov.

Welcome to the club: Halima Poland the first ever Kuwaiti to host a show on Egyptian TV!
Everyone's fave TV host Kuwaiti Halima Poland is preparing to host another new TV show titled "Al Qalb Wa Ma Yureed" (What the Heart Desires).
But what's different this time around? The show will air on Egyptan TV channel "Al Mihwar," making her the first Kuwaiti person to ever host a program on Egyptian TV, according to Sayidaty.net! Wozers, what an achievement for Miss P!
Halima said she was over the moon by this new career step, which will pave the way for her in the Egyptian market and give her the chance to closely meet with her Egyptian fans.
She added that this is a very important step in her career and considers it a "turning point" after achieving great success around the Gulf and Lebanon.
Halima said that the program is about hosting a number of celebs from Egypt and around the Arab world and having casual discussions about the celebrities' personal and professional lives. Filming of the first episodes will commence in the next few days.
Halima noted that she may be presenting the show with an Egyptian accent, because the station is Egyptian and that would bring her closer to her Egyptian viewers. She added that she has no problem speaking with an Egyptian accent and can easily master it.

Given the complexity of the deal and the money at stake, making a business aircraft change hands can seem almost like an act of magic. And as in Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, acts of this sort are best left to professionals—specifically, aircraft brokers and their teams.
Buyers' Guide

As soon as its first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center, a new airplane technically becomes used (or preowned). For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's final production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones.

Here's a look at the world's leading business jet manufacturers and their current and upcoming models.
July 9, 2014
A business aircraft cabin wouldn't be complete without a full range of electronics, with the most important for many passengers being Wi-Fi capability, to download presentations and documents, access e-mail and conduct Internet research.
July 9, 2014
Fixed-base operations, commonly known as FBOs, have come a long way since their beginnings as nondescript trailers and shacks alongside airport taxiways. Many have morphed into well-equipped, stylishly decorated facilities that, for passengers on corporate and private aircraft, often offer a first impression of a town or city.
July 9, 2014
Food and beverages on private aircraft are a far cry from what you'll find on most airline flights. Bizav caterers offer an array of delectable delights—everything from smoked Scottish salmon and tamarind honey lamb kabobs to mint and cucumber gazpacho, burgers with cognac sauce and raspberry pecan chicken salad.
July 8, 2014
Industry experts continue to blame lack of financing for the failure of business jet orders and sales to recover more rapidly since 2008. "Many sales are lost because prospective buyers can't obtain financing or can't obtain it on favorable terms," says Andrew Bradley, president of global sales at Avjet Corporation. Bradley has even seen a bank require its client to buy a newer, significantly more expensive aircraft rather than provide financing for a slightly more than 10-year-old airplane of the same model. Indeed, relatively few business jets acquired last year were financed at all.

You'd never call David Diehl "average," but in many ways he epitomizes the average business jet traveler. Like most readers of this magazine, he regularly utilizes private aviation to maximize family time while simultaneously advancing a high-level career.
July 7, 2014
Given the amount of money involved, picking the right way to employ business aviation is one of the most critical financial decisions you can face. Unless you're buying a whole aircraft, the first choice you have to make is what access model would best suit your needs, be it a fractional share, a jet card or traditional charter. Then you need to decide which company or companies to use.

Secrets of Success
Balaton, something special in Hungary
Wednesday, September 04, 2013
This weekend I've been to Balatonf³red, the lake Balaton with friends from Budapest and Amsterdam, a fun international team. For me it was part job, to make a training on healthy habits, otherwise relax time.
The lake Balaton is a typical summer resort in Hungary, lots of possibilities to enjoy the break. But even more, somehow the whole vibe of the area is about switching off and having fun. I can't really put my finger on it, but every time I am there, it gets into me. People walk differently, the sun shines differently, life seems to be happy and fun.
Some years ago, such a trip would have been a challenge, as such a resort can be used in many ways. For some, this is the time to eat a lot of unhealthy fatty food, drink tons of alcohol every night, and stay sitting all day long. But, there is also the possibility to run along the coast, swim in the lake, take a bike tour around, or just walk in the surroundings, eat fresh food.
A friend of mine also took his running shoes, and we agreed on starting the day on Saturday with running. The sun was beautiful in the little harbor. In the afternoon, we went for a swim. The real exercise came only at around 01 am... party time in Cocomo, and I think it was around 05:30am when I finally got to bed. That's about 2500 kcal, however also that's about the sleep part of my healthy life for this weekend... :-)
As for food, I ate with the group most of the time. When we had nice food, I didn't worry much, just ate what was on the menu (err... heavy-heavy sort of) like the wine tasting on Friday night. At other times when it was not so interesting, like the breakfast in the hotel, I scaled back, or went for the lower calorie choice, like Mozzarella for starter and a half portion fish-soup on Saturday night.
How you deal with the challenges of healthy life when travelling?
What is a challenge for you, and what do you do with it?
I know I have already asked this, but I'm still interested in all kind of tips. It seems to be a topic that stays on for me as a challenge, although I'm getting better and better, the changing environment makes it so I always learn something new.
Otherwise, this week I'm bike touring in Italy. We started at Lienz in Austria, near the border, and continue near the Drau river towards Dobbiaco, and follow the Ciclopista del Sol. The mountains are sooo beautiful here - pictures later this week!

Your description of Balaton is beautiful! : ) It made me feel that special atmosphere.
I have two tips for eating well when travelling:
-when I travel alone on business trips, I always pack my food, for all meals except breakfast. Those are my best food days ; ) no worries, no temptations, just eat what's in the bag...
-traveling with a group is harder, then I use the half plate rule, and put the vegetable / fruit half on my plate first - no perfection but helps to avoid disasters ; ))

Wow. Nice place.
Traveling, I always like plenty of fresh fruit, local vegetables. Also trying and experimenting with new cuisines, trying new dishes, experimenting with new flavors and spices.
New cultures also usually have "secrets" about herbs for flavoring and healing.

changes in routines can be a challenge.
I know you eat healthy at home, I try to also.
I try to eat less, like cutting out certain foods, I cut back on the breads, cereals and hardly eat potatoes. When I go to Belgium the challenge is not having seconds of foods I never eat at home "les moules et les frites" I can leave some of the fries-but in Belgium they are better than any found in the states. The muscles are one of my weaknesses, so when we are having that for the day I try to lighten up, like you did on breakfast.
I'm glad you got a run and some swimming in.

I always enjoy reading your blogs, you go to such interesting places! You're descriptions and personal insights are enjoyable. Thanks for sharing with us! I don't travel much; my husband does, however, and eating away from home can be a challenge for him. Have fun on the bike tour, I'll be looking forward to reading about it and viewing the pictures!

This lake looks like a gorgeous place! I am glad you had such a good time!
Travelling, for work or otherwise, is always a challenge food-wise for me. It is difficult to keep an idea of what I put into my mouth when the foods are so different from what I am used to at home (where I never eat processed foods). With the year ahead and the travellings restarting after the summer break, I have made the decision never to eat any of the cakes/biscuits/nibbles, and to have only one glass of alcohol a day. It isn't much, but it is progress for me.
Have a fantastic time in Italy! I was there last week and loved it!

It appears; we have yet another victim of black mob violence and the racial hatred known as what many call the "knockout game." The attack occurred in San Antonio in the early-morning hours of Jan. 30.
Cory Robinson said he was leaving Espana early Friday morning when a group of men blindsided and beat him repeatedly.
Robinson was taken to the hospital where he's currently recovering. The attack was so savage it left him with a fractured skull; his clothes were shredded as the thugs sought to rob him in the process. What is known for certain about the attack is Robinson heard the black mob say:
Get the white boy and knockout.
Many who read the story about the brutal attack on Robinson were left wondering if he was possibly the instigator. The conflicts come because some news sites didn't tell the whole story the black mob aspect when it's involved.
When a person reads the story about the attack from one of the many San Antonio news sites, they may come away with the following impressions: 1) This was not an assault, but rather a fight; 2) Robinson instigated it, and 3) Mexicans attacked him.
"None of which is true. All of which is another example of how the journalistic gymnastics that often accompany racial violence can also do violence to basic reporting of the facts," writes Colin Flaherty of WND.
It seems the confusion began when San Antonio's major daily newspaper reported that police didn't consider Robinson a victim of the "knockout game." They said:
"According to a police report, Robinson said he left the bar while a large fight was going on outside. As he walked through the fight to get to his car, a man questioned him. After a brief exchange, the report said, Robinson told officers approximately eight men jumped him."
According to Robinson, his account of the story was fuzzy because he said: "he had just had his brains bashed in." He did tell police he admonished some folks that were fighting outside when he exited the bar heaing to his car. He urged them to settle their differences in a peaceful manner.
Robinson told the group: "Stop fighting, there's no need for that. Boisterous arguing impedes the progress of society," according to KSAT-TV News.
Because of what Robinson told KSAT many folks believed he caused his own attack because he said something that provoked his attackers. "Which was not true: He had no contact with his attackers, verbal or otherwise, before the violence," according to Flaherty.
The Express-News account conveniently left out Robinson's statement of what the black mob said before the brutal attack, "stop the white boy" and "knockout." Express-News even failed to mention the race of the attackers. The result of incomplete reporting left many to draw the wrong conclusions.
The local television added some details the other sites left out like Robinson screaming for help, for his life. They also said how his attackers yelled, "stop the white boy," as they kicked and punched him in the face as he tried to get up. However, they like the other sites failed to mention the race of the attackers.
After KSAT's version of the attack, many thought the assailants were possibly Hispanic. This is when Robinson sought to set the record straight in the comments section of the Express website.
He wrote: "Yes they were all black. It was literally minutes later that I was trying to get in my car after talking to the first group that the attack started. When I tried to get in my car I heard 'get the white boy' and when I turned around I got hit and fell.
"That's when I heard 'KNOCK OUT.' That's when they started trying to go through my clothes to steal everything. When they noticed I wasn't completely unconscious, that's when they said 'stomp him. Stomp that white boy,' and they tried their hardest to knock me completely unconscious."
The rest of this article contains what can hopefully be called an insightful commentary. So if you don't agree with a scriptural assessment of the story written above stop reading here.
Christianity Examiner Commentary
Those who participate in hateful and racially motivated violence as mentioned above are often the result of children raised without moral boundaries.
Often children become violent because of harsh, unloving and critical parenting. They seek to lash out at their parents and society by making them pay for the hurts they have suffered in life. This is not an excuse for their behavior but a possible explanation behind such hatred.
"Hate" is defined as an intense hostility and aversion. It is a feeling that is carried around inside a person, where they despise another person, either for a justifiable reason or not.
The Lord mentions hatred in the Sermon on the Mount: "But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell." (Matthew 5:22 NLT). Hatred is a condition and sin of the heart.
God despises any hateful thought as murder in his eyes and is something he will require justice either for in this life or the next. The sin of hate is so heinous before God the person living with hate in their heart is considered as a person walking in total darkness.
Hatred is a poison that destroys a person from within. It produces bitterness that eats away at a person's heart and mind.

text: Redesigned DOSA Unit Offers Enhanced Patient Experience Enhancements to the new DOSA include state-of-the-art telemetry and blood-pressure equipment stationed in every room, greatly improved access to the OR for faster patient transportation to surgery, and improved lines of sight from the central nursing station to all areas in the unit. Amenities in each patient area have also been improved, including the addition of WiFi access and flat-panel TVs, to ensure patients and their families will be as comfortable as possible as they go through the necessary pre-op steps and wait for their procedures. Additionally, all areas now have added privacy, for an even more enhanced patient experience. "When you're facing a surgical procedure, even a short wait can seem like a very long time," said Cheryl Sheridan, RGH Chief Nursing Officer. "By giving our patients a space of their own while they wait, we're helping them preserve their dignity and their peace of mind." The renovation, which began in January, is part of a long-range plan that will ultimately transform the entire Rochester General surgical area for greatly improved patient flow. Earlier this year, RGH unveiled the new Rick Constantino, MD, Patient Access Center, a gateway for incoming patients that streamlines the admission process. For many patients, DOSA is the next step into the hospital after the Patient Access Center.

Phil and I see this particular picnic table on one of our favorite "secret" hikes in Rocky Mountain National Park. It is so old that it is falling apart.
But every time we hike by it, we take a photograph. I really liked this black and white one. It seems to fit the mood of the picnic table…like an old photograph.
