There are certain things that everyone remembers from their childhood, and for generations old and new in Fresno and all over the world, one of those things is our favorite toys. And in the realm of iconic toys, there aren't many as iconic of and innocent as Lego. The franchise of interlocking brick toys first went into production in 1949 and ever since has been an outlet for children's originality, imagination, and optimistic sense of fun all over the world. Since the brand's creation, Lego has expanded to include a variety of theses, play sets, construction set, and even dozens of licensed properties under their banner; why, today kids re thrilling to such sub-franchises as Lego Batman, Lego, Star Wars, Lego Lord of he Rings, Lego Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, etc., many of which have since been adapted into their own animated films or video games. With something as iconic and massively appealing as that, perhaps a theatrical film was inevitable.
Now at this point the more cynical among you are probably thinking, "Seriously, a movie based on a children's construction toy?" Well, yes, it cannot be denied that at the end of the day this is a feature-length toy commercial, but so are all of the films Hasbro has put out and look how successful they have been. And besides, the previews and trailers make it clear that The Lego Movie has an advantage that most of those other movies do not, they are making this movie specifically for kids and about what it means to be a kid, and that, in terms, helps make it accessible to everyone.
The film opens up with the wizard Vitruvius (voiced by Morgan Freeman) attempting to protect a superweapon called the "Kragle" the evil Lord Business (voiced by Will Ferrell). Vitruvius fails, but he warns Lord Business about a prophecy that one day a person called the "Special" will find the Piece of Resistance capable of stopping the Kragle.
Years later, an ordinary construction worker who always relies on instruction manuals named Emmet Brickowski (voiced by Chris Pratt) comes across a woman named Wyldstyle (voiced by Elezabeth Banks), who is searching for something after hours at Emmet's construction site. Instantly attracted to her, Emmet ends up falling into a hole and finds the Piece of Resistance. Upon touching it, Emmet experiences vivid visions and passes out. When he awakens, he finds that the Piece of Resistance is attached to his back and he is now in the custody of Lord Business' lieutenant, Bad Cop (voiced by Liam Neeson). There, Emmet learns of Business' plans to destroy the world with the Kragle, before Wyldstyle rescues him and takes him to Vitruvius, who explains that he and Wyldstyle are "Master Builders" being from across the various Lego worlds (i.e. play sets) capable of building anything they need, both with great speed and without instruction manuals. It turns out that years ago, Lord Business rose to power and his hatred of the Master Builders' anarchic creativity lead him to capture many of them. As the supposed "Special", Emmet is the one destined to defeat him, yet Wyldstyle and Vitruvius are disappointed to find Emmet displays no creativity whatsoever, save for some seemingly useless ideas like building a double-decker couch.
Making a host of new allies, including the pirate Metal Beard (played by Nick Offerman), the always perky Uni-Kitty (voiced by Alison Brie), a 1980s spaceman named Benny (voiced by Charlie Day), and Wyldstyle boyfriend, none other than Batman (voiced by Will Arnett), Emmet must find his true potential and stop Lord Business' plans to use the Kragle to freeze the universe perfectly in place. But is Emmet truly the "special," or is he really just a completely ordinary construction worker with nothing special about him whatsoever? And what role does the mysterious "Man Upstairs" have to play in the coming battle for the fate of an entire Lego universe.
I have to confess, going into this movie as a grown adult who is ultimately still a child at heart, I did not know what to expect with this movie, but i left feeling like I got just what I should have: a fun, innocent, visually-unique film appropriate for kids, but which leaves adults feeling young again. Let's not kid ourselves (no pun intended), this film is not for everyone. If you are a grown adult who cannot stand kid's movies or anything that generally aimed at families, then this is not the movie for you. But if you've got kids, or if you're a kid at heart, then this a a wonderful film to go see.
The first big thing I have to praise about The Lego Movie is the animation. Looking at all of the trailers, I was impressed that the whole thing looked liked it was made out of real Legos, and why not since I have seen people build some pretty impressive things out of those little toy blocks, not the least of which is an entire theme park! I admit that I was a tad let down learning that the film was going to be be CGI and not actual stop motion, but I guess I cannot blame them. Nevertheless, the genius of this film, is that they chose to go for a very stop motion look, with all of the sets looking like actual play sets, having the character's movements occasionally jump frames, always remembering where to put the little tabs on the ground where the Lego characters can connect, and just the overall textures on the characters looking spot-on to the actual toys.
Every single thing that happens in the this film looks like it is done with Legos, as it should. When you see clouds and water, the clouds and water look like they are made of Legos that swirl and flow as a mass of solid bricks. When you see fire shoot out of the horns of Lord Business' helmet, the streams of fire looks life a plastic accessory fire you would likely find in certain Lego sets. Even the explosions like like they are made out of Legos. The only things that are clearly not made of Legos are anomalies that are critical tip-offs to the plot of what kind of universe we are really living in, the biggest one being the Kragle, which turns out to be nothing more than a tube of Krazy Glue with some of the logo's letter rubbed out.
There was also a conscious effort to pay homage to the various eras of the Lego brand. Emmet is just a average construction worker and his world is very much a standard Lego City environment, which to me takes me back to the origins of the brand, were it was just a couple of bricks and a few basic figures and things were left completely up to your imagination. But then we get to the council of the Master Builders where all of the licensed characters come in to pay homage to Lego as it is now, where you have boxed play set containing all the pieces you need to build one specific thing, including "instruction manuals." In addition to Lego Batman appearing in a major role, we see cameos from Lego Superman, Lego Wonder Woman, Lego Green Lantern, Lego Gandalf, Lego Dumbledore, Lego William Shakespeare, Lego Shaquille O'Neal, Lego Abraham Lincoln, Lego Michelangelo from TMNT, Lego Han Solo, Lego Chewbacca, Lego C-3PO and Lego Lando Calrissian, just to name a few.
The jokes in this film vary from pandering specifically to kids to being genuinely funny. For instance, there is a running gag that Emmet's favorite TV show is a sitcom called Where's my Pants?, which is just the same joke of a man going up to his wife in his painted-on Lego underwear and asking her that question over and over again.
While the plot of The Lego Movie is essentially the classic everyman story we've all seen before, the creative-looking visuals and the overall heart still makes it worth watching. Emmet is introduced and the absolute most blank, overly optimistic, yet completely un-unique guy imaginable who, again, has never had a single unique idea ever pop into his head save for that seemingly useless double-decker chair, so how can he be the "Special." But the big message of this movie is that even the most seemingly ordinary, unassuming person can be special if they only believe they are special.
I said earlier that this movie is all about what it is like to be a kid, and boy did I mean it. Only a child's imagination could imagine something as wild as pirate who rebuilt himself as a giant robot cobbled together with a bunch of junk, or a scene where your characters are out in the old west being chased by a hoard of angry pigs only to be rescued, completely out of nowhere, by Batman. As adults, we are always forced to take logic into account in terms of storytelling, and that is very much the point-of-view that Lord Business' is coming from, wanting to keep everything in order and literally "frozen" (with Krazy Glue) in it's so-called "proper place" with no freedom of expression or imagination. But this is Lego, something that is a literally a building block for a child to express there imagination, so logic and common sense has little to no place here.
If there is a complaint that I have heard about the film that I can agree with, is that it does drag on a bit too long. With a total running time of 100 minutes, its not bad, but maybe if they could have trimmed off a little bit of the opening song or the action sequences, or just got us to the ending a little bit earlier, this would be an even more solid family film than it is now.
And that brings me to last fifteen or so minutes of the film, which I cannot spoil for anyone because it would ruin to effect the ending has on the audience, but lets just say that I was very pleased that they chose to pull the curtain back and make the message clear to us in such a literal and surprisingly emotional fashion. Sure, the idea of directly paralleling the final standoff between Emmet and Lord Business and what is gong on in this other side of the story may seem cliche to some, but to me it was exactly what this story needed. That final sequence, as said by IGN, is a well-judged, heartfelt sequence which also serves as a great epiphany which changes the way you look at the entire film. I was literally stunned that the writers were smart enough to take the Lego concept to this place and, to paraphrase IGN once again, allow the film to become a little bit special in its final moments.
The voice cast is very solid here. Chris Pratt brings an overly optimistic spirit and everyman edge to Emmet Brickowski, playing him as a guy totally happy with his current lot in life, but who secretly longs to be someone truly special, and whom goes on this epic journey to realize just how special he can really be if he just believes. Will Ferrell is hilariously over-the-top as Lord Business, deliberately playing a cartoonish, almost bumbling character that is nevertheless a legitimate threat; as a contrast the that, Farrell also plays a second role in the film which goes for an opposite approach that contributes heavily to the film's final and deepest moments. Elizabeth Banks plays the role of Wyldstyle with a typical, yet enjoyable, sense of feminine toughness that hides a very strong emotional side; a pretty typical female protagonist, but still a good one. Will Arnett is hilarious as Batman, overplaying the brooding, most jerkish tendencies fans know about the character to the most extreme level. It is hard to explain to the casual viewer, but once you see the film, you will leave thinking to yourself, "yep, that's the lovable Bat-jerk right there." Morgan Freeman is wonderful as the wizard Vitruvius, using the natural grandeur of his voice to read some of the goofiest and most pop=culture heavy line of the film, thus making them even more hilarious; clearly he is having a great time in this role. Liam Neeson plays up his recent tough-as-nails action star persona to the utmost as Bad Cop, which he complements with the characters mild-mannered alter-ego Good Cop. Like Neeson, he plays the role very much like a parody of himself, making him one of the more delightful characters. Nick Offerman, Alison Brie and Charlie Day also turn in fun performances and Metal Beard, Uni-Kitty and Benny, respectively, each making their character fun, over-the-top, and worth paying attention to when they each get their moment by the end. Other notable cameo performances include Channing Tatum as Superman, Jonah Hill as Green Lantern, Cobie Smulders as Wonder Woman, Craig Berry as Blake, David Burrows as Octan Robot, Anthony Daniels as C-3PO, Amanda Farinos as Mom, Keith Ferguson as Han Solo, Will Forte as Abraham Lincoln, Dave Franco as Wally, Todd Hansen as Gandalf, Jake Johnson as Barry, Keegan-Michael Key as Foreman Jim, Kelly Lafferty as Lord Business' Assistant, Chris Miller as TV Presenter, Graham Miller as Duplo, Shaquille O'Neal as Himself, Chris Paluszek as Robot Foreman, Chris Romano as Joe, Melissa Sturm as Ma Cop, Jorma Taccone as William Shakespeare, Leiki Veskimets as Computer, and Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian, with a special performance of note made by child actor Jadon Sand as Finn.
Overall, The Lego Movie succeeds in breaking free of it's commercialized roots and delivers a charming, visually-unique and surprisingly emotional story that will delight families all over the world, especially kids. It does run a bit too long, and the biggest sourpusses in the world will probably find little to enjoy here, but if you are an adult with kids of your own, or even if you someone who is still a child at heart, then this is definitely something worth checking out. As the theme song says, "Everything is awesome!"

It is timely to compare violent and non-violent excess deaths in the US-imposed Afghan Holocaust (3-7 million) with those in the WW2 Nazi-imposed Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation).
From UN Population Division mortality and under-5 infant mortality data (see: http://esa.un.org/unpp/ ) it can be estimated that non-violent excess deaths in Occupied Afghanistan (from deprivation and deprivation-exacerbated disease) total 3.2 million, noting that excess mortality (avoidable mortality, excess death, avoidable death, deaths that should not have happened) can be defined as the difference between mortality in a country and that in a peaceful, decently run country with the same demographics (for impoverished Third World countries it is about 1.4 times the under-5 infant mortality; see " Layperson's guide to counting Iraq deaths": http://mwcnews.net/content/view/5872/26/ and my book "Body Count. Global avoidable mortality since 1950" , G.M. Polya, Melbourne, 2007: http://mwcnews.net/Gideon-Polya and http://globalbodycount.blogspot.com/ ) .
Thus UNICEF (see: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/index.html ) informs us that 338,000 under-5 year old Occupied infants die each year, this corresponding to 338,000 x 1.4 = 473,000 NON-VIOLENT excess deaths in total each year in Occupied Afghanistan i.e. 1,296 daily and about 130,000 such deaths in the first 100 days of Obama's rule.
As for VIOLENT deaths, the problem is that the US-led Occupiers "don't do body counts" in the worlds of US General Tommy Franks. However in Occupied Iraq it is estimated from top medical epidemiological data (see Just Foreign Policy: http://www.justforeignpolicy.org/iraq/iraqdeaths.html ) that violent deaths total 1.3 million whereas non-violent excess deaths (see above) total 1 million, a ratio of 1.3. If this ratio holds for Occupied Afghanistan then post-invasion violent excess deaths total 1.3 x 3.2 million = 4.2 million.
Accordingly we can estimate that post-invasion non-violent excess deaths in Occupied Afghanistan total 3.2 million; post-invasion violent deaths may be up to about 4 million; post-invasion violent and non-violent excess deaths accordingly total 3-7 million; and post-invasion under-5 infant deaths total 2.3 million (90% avoidable due to Occupier violation of the Geneva Convention i.e. 2.1 million); in addition, refugees (including the 1.5 million Pashtuns driven from NW Pakistan under Obama's robot bombing attacks) total 4-5 million – Genocide as defined by Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention (see: http://www.edwebproject.org/sideshow/genocide/convention.html ).
According to Article 2 of the UN Genocide Convention: " In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: a) Killing members of the group; b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group ".
The primary reason for the huge non-violent excess deaths in Occupied Afghanistan is readily seen from WHO data (see: http://www.who.int/en/ ) which inform that "total annual per capita medical expenditure" permitted by the Occupiers in Occupied Afghanistan and Occupied Iraq are $29 and $124, respectively, as compared to $6,714 for the Occupier Country the USA – evidence of gross violation of Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (see: http://www.unhchr.ch/html/menu3/b/92.htm ) which state that the Occupier must provide life-sustaining food and medical services "to the fullest extent of the means available to it".
Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War are reproduced below.
Article 55
To the fullest extent of the means available to it the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate.
The Occupying Power may not requisition foodstuffs, articles or medical supplies available in the occupied territory, except for use by the occupation forces and administration personnel, and then only if the requirements of the civilian population have been taken into account. Subject to the provisions of other international Conventions, the Occupying Power shall make arrangements to ensure that fair value is paid for any requisitioned goods.
The Protecting Power shall, at any time, be at liberty to verify the state of the food and medical supplies in occupied territories, except where temporary restrictions are made necessary by imperative military requirements.
Article 56
To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring and maintaining, with the cooperation of national and local authorities, the medical and hospital establishments and services, public health and hygiene in the occupied territory, with particular reference to the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics. Medical personnel of all categories shall be allowed to carry out their duties.
If new hospitals are set up in occupied territory and if the competent organs of the occupied State are not operating there, the occupying authorities shall, if necessary, grant them the recognition provided for in Article 18. In similar circumstances, the occupying authorities shall also grant recognition to hospital personnel and transport vehicles under the provisions of Articles 20 and 21.
In adopting measures of health and hygiene and in their implementation, the Occupying Power shall take into consideration the moral and ethical susceptibilities of the population of the occupied territory.
The LOWEST estimate of the violent and non-violent excess deaths Afghan Holocaust and Afghan Genocide (3.2 million) is of the same order as the number of Jews killed in the World War 2 Jewish Holocaust (5-6 million killed, 1 in 6 dying from deprivation) (see: Gilbert, M. (1969), Jewish History Atlas (Weidenfeld & Nicolson, London); Gilbert, M. (1982), Atlas of the Holocaust (Michael Joseph, London) ).
The "annual death rate" of under-5 year old Occupied Afghan infants is about 6% as compared to that of 10% for Australian prisoners of war of the Japanese in World War 2 (for which war crimes Japanese generals were tried and hanged).
Bush, Blair, Howard, Obama, Brown, Rudd, Sarkozy and Merkel, their associates and their subordinates should be arraigned before the International Criminal Court (ICC).

With the playoffs on the line, the Red Wings visit the Dallas Stars tonight.
With a win, Detroit claims the 7th playoff seed in the Western Conference. A point clinches a playoff spot. A regulation loss and they'll need help in the form of a loss from the Columbus Blue Jackets or Minnesota Wild.
Should the Wings win tonight, it will mark only the fifth time in history that the team finished a regular season on a four-game winning streak.
Game time is 7:00 PM on FSD locally and NBCSN nationally.
Am I alone in kinda wishing that the Wings would play Chicago in that first round (should they win this game, not wanting to jinx anything,,,) I mean, except for that one blowout (painful), the Wings played them well...and yes, the Wings did beat the Ducks, but that West Coast travel is brutal.

Who pays the shipping costs?
You pay the shipping to IRS when your book is ordered. We pay the shipping to the bookstore.
Do I get paid when the books are ordered?
No, you don't get paid until your books are sold by the store.
What is the discount?
If the book is taken on consignment — which is the way it works with traditionally published books and retailers — the split is 40% of the retail price to the bookseller, 60% to the author. IRS does not take a cut. If the book is taken via co-op (meaning the store gets $25 per title) the split is 25% of the retail price to the bookseller, 75% to the author.
Can the books be returned by the bookstore?
Yes. IndieReader's Terms to the bookstores specify that they must be kept for 30 days. Following that time period — just as with traditional publishers — books can be returned.
Who pays me? IRS or the bookstore?
One of the reasons we created IRS was to make it easier for bookstores to carry indie titles. And making IRS the central point — for shipping and billing — does that.
Why would indie bookstores want to carry indie titles?
Many reasons, including the fact that many book-lovers are looking for titles that are different and unique. And indie bookstores are looking for something that will differentiate them from the big box stores which don't (yet) carry indie titles.

I guess I don't see how a $1,348 return on a $15,000 investment is "still good money." The article seems to caution readers against spending too much on clothing that you may only wear once. So much for finding $10,000 in your closet.

More than Belts
Students began their Embracing Excess: The Belt Project in fall 2012, and many of the projects were exhibited in CCA's Waste Land exhibition that showcased works of architecture, art, design, and writing. Works were produced by students in the college's five "Waste Land" courses (Interior Design, Interaction Design, Diversity Studies, Sculpture, and Visual Studies).
For Waste Land, five instructors from across the college addressed issues around waste in their courses, and invited an "embedded scientist" to come into the studio to provide science instruction relevant to the theme of waste.
The Waste Land program aims to explore ways to meaningfully integrate science in art and design education.

The Religious Right continues to struggle with the fact that everything they personally have massive sticks up their butts about is not comparable in any other way.
In a sample letter to Utah State Sen. Steve Urquhart distributed by Fox 13's Max Roth, Barbara Petty of the Utah Eagle Forum not only once again complains that legislation which would prevent Christians from discriminating is discriminatory towards Christians, but compares homosexuality to other "immoral" acts like theft and murder.
"Deviant sexual life styles are immoral," it reads. "We urge you to withdraw your anti discrimination bill and any further activity in that direction.
"We discriminate against immorality, theft, dishonesty, murder etcetera and as our representative in the Utah Senate your oath of office is to uphold the constitution. We hold you to the oath you have taken.
"Such action as described in the anti discrimination bill allowing a man to say he feels like a woman and wants to use the bathroom and shower facilities for women is a disgrace to the sacred covenants we have with the God of this world and offends all decency.
"It is also a complete perversion of sentiment in that, in order to make a small minority feel more 'comfortable' in their unnatural behavior, the overwhelming majority must suffer being uncomfortable in natural behavior. It is not an abuse of a minority to reject its abuse of the sensibilities of the majority."
Back in that pesky little thing called reality, the majority of Americans, while not homosexual themselves, are not so anal about homosexuality that the very thought that someone might be engaging in "deviant" behavior anywhere in the world keeps them up at night.
All this demonstrates is extreme weakness on the part of the Utah Eagle Forum. Having it written in the Bible is not enough for them to behave themselves.

In Season 4's "Know Your Place" episode, Detective Shakima "Kima" Greggs got a raise at work after going from an undercover detective to working in the homicide department. One of her paychecks was $2,521.53, and Sergeant Jay Landsman was unenthused by her goal with overtime earnings: to pay down debt.
This episode raised an unpopular reminder about women and child support, in the LGBT community and otherwise. While Detective James "Jimmy" McNulty hemmed and hawed about his own child support payments to his wife, Elena McNulty, both detectives admitted that they'd gotten behind in payments due to their own salaries.
Although Kima was no longer with Cheryl, who was in another relationship, the deal when they were dating was that they'd have a child carried by Cheryl.
Kima even put her foot down about Cheryl not having traditional sex in order to be impregnated. And even when Kima cheated on her significant other and worried that family life wasn't for her, she still came back around to try to take care of their child, Elijah. (Why she was called "Aunt Kima" instead of "Mom" is still a mystery.)
But how much was the three months that Kima handed Cheryl for child support? Turns out it was a sufficient amount for the average amount of child support, with some money left over for her own bills.
According to the Census, in 2012, the average amount of child support is $430 monthly, totaling $5,150 per year. However, child support tends to be more for men than women, with women paying 15 percent of child support at $3,500 while men pay 85 percent at $5,450.
With women on average making a lower salary than men, the child support amount may be affected.
So is $430 a low number? Depends on the parents and the upbringing.
The United States Department of Agriculture reports that the cost of raising a child from birth to age 18 is $161,220 for a single household ($8,956 per year) and $173,490 for a two-parent household ($9,638 per year).
From the ages of 11 through 17, the rate of child expenses increased more. For a two-parent household, the highest amount for raising one child was at age 17 ($18,380). But for a single-parent household, the highest amount was at age 14 ($12,460).
In states like Illinois, child support is calculated by the net income of the parents and the number of children the payer is responsible for. For one child, that is 20 percent, according to Child Support Illinois.

With the massive international success of the award-winning vampire series, it was almost expected that HBO would immediately greenlight Alan Ball's latest project proposal. On the heels of being signed to direct and produce a new comedy project for Paramount studios last month, a dark comedy written by Elan Mastai, and the expectation of the upcoming fourth season of True Blood, the news that HBO decided to pass on the pilot for All Signs of Death, a show based on the Charlie Huston dark comedy crime noir novel "The Mystic Arts of Erasing All Signs of Death", was a suprise. The pilot, written by Huston, was originally picked up in July. The description of the storyline revealed on Deadline was of a series centered around a "twenty-something slacker (Ben Whishaw) who stumbled into a career as a crime scene cleaner, only to find himself entangled with a murder mystery, a femme fatale and the loose ends of his own past". It was also reported that the show was to be filmed in the more experimental manner that is becoming popular these days using smaller, portable cameras for a cinema verite style.
According to HBO reps, the network simply could not find an appropriate place for the new series. The convenient network jargon leaves quite a thick veil over the true nature of their dismissal of the project. However, one (meaning me) can speculate that perhaps the storyline was a little too close in nature to some of the other more popular series out there that already have a solid following. Or perhaps HBO is finally tapping into the growing dislike of the usage of the smaller handheld HD cameras which often give the show a shakey, lesser refined quality than what is usually expected by viewers of large cable networks. Regardless, this is proof that if Alan Ball has trouble getting his projects greenlighted, it should be at least a wee bit of comfort to those of us out there still knocking on doors in Hollywood with our own screenplays in hand!
Alan Ball is currently on the set of the fourth season of True Blood, which is slated to air in the summer of 2011. For those of you rabid fans who simply didn't get enough vampire insanity this past year, HBO will be airing all of the third season in back to back episodes beginning on December 27th at 8pm EST through December 30. What better way to conclude 2010 than a True Blood marathon?

According to the National Institute of Health, about 1 in 7 Americans have a learning disability. A learning disability is a lifelong neurological disorder. All children learn in highly individual ways. Children with learning disabilities simply process information differently. They are generally of normal or above-average intelligence but have difficulty with reading, writing, spelling, reasoning, recalling and/or organizing information especially if left to figure things out by themselves or if taught in conventional ways. This is according to LD Online, the world's leading website on learning disabilities and ADHD. Children with learning disabilities have trouble learning because their minds process words or information differently.
Difficulty with language and reading is the most common disability and as many as 80% of children with a learning disability struggle with reading.
Most Common Learning Disabilites
The most common learning disabilities according to LD Online include:
Dyslexia – a language-based disability in which a person has trouble understanding written words. It may also be referred to as a reading disability or reading disorder.
Dyscalculia – a mathematical disability in which a person has a difficult time solving arithmetic problems and grasping math concepts.
Dysgraphia – a writing disability in which a person finds it hard to form letters or write within a defined space.
Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders – sensory disabilities in which a person has difficulty understanding language despite normal hearing and vision.
Nonverbal Learning Disabilities – a neurological disorder which originates in the right hemisphere of the brain, causing problems with visual-spatial, intuitive, organizational, evaluative and holistic processing functions.
Early Signs to Watch Out For
The earlier a learning disability is detected, the better chance a child will have of succeeding in school and in life. Here are some early signs to look out for:
Early warning signs:
1. Is taking a longer time to talk than other children the same age
2. Has trouble with the pronunciation of certain words
3. Has trouble finding the right word
4. Has difficulty acquiring new vocabulary words
4. Has difficulty rhyming words
5. Has trouble learning numbers, the alphabet and the days of the week
6. Has trouble "staying still" and is easily distracted
7. Has difficulty with social interactions
8. Has difficulty following directions
Kindergarten through fourth grade
1. Has difficulty learning the connection between letters and sounds
2. Confuses basic words (run, eat, want)
3. Makes the same reading and spelling errors consistently including letter reversals (b/d), inversions (m/w), transpositions (felt/left), and substitutions (house/home)
4. Transposes number sequences and confuses arithmetic signs (+, -, x, /, =)
5. Is slow to recall facts
6. Has difficulty learning new skills
7. Has trouble learning time
8. Has poor coordination, unaware of physical surroundings, prone to accidents
What to do
If your child is struggling with learning and you suspect he may have a learning disability, there are some steps that you can take to help your doctor or school find out what is going on and most importantly, help your child.
Don't wait. if you suspect that something is wrong, contact your child's pediatrician or the school and have him evaluated. The earlier your child gets help the better his chances of succeeding.
Keep a record of your concerns and observations. Include specific examples if you think it will be helpful. I have even taken video of my children so I can clearly show my pediatrician and the school what my concerns are.
Collect relevant information. If available, bring report cards, samples of schoolwork and notes from parent-teacher meetings. It's also helpful to know your family's medical history and whether or not any relatives are known to have had a learning disability or other disorder that impacts learning. Knowledge is power – the more background information you can provide, the better.
Stay positive. Having a learning disability will not prevent your child from being successful in school, at work or in life. With early intervention, the right supports, modifications and accommodations your child will thrive. Many successful and famous people including Albert Einstein, Walt Disney, General George Patton, Charles Shwab and Whoopi Goldberg have learning disabilities.

|Swimming and diving adds eight
MOSCOW, Idaho – Coach Mark Sowa signed seven swimmers and one diver to the University of Idaho's 2013 class – one he says is likely the best in school history.
"This is arguably one of the best classes ever signed by Idaho swimming and diving – and we are not done yet," Sowa said as he announced the class, which includes student-athletes from Massachusetts, Texas and North Carolina and as close to home as Oregon and Washington. "Every one of these young ladies can come here and contribute right away."
Joining the Vandals this fall will be swimmers Madison Brewer (Bend, Ore.), Kortney Kay (Sam Ramon, Calif.), Abigail Messegee (Centralia, Wash.), Laura Rosen (Oak Harbor, Wash.), Hannah Stahmer (Raleigh, N.C.), Taylor Strachan (Rutland, Mass.) and Nichole Weinman (Richland, Wash.), and diver Madison Lamey (San Antonio, Texas).
Brewer will graduate from Summit High School this spring and has competed for the Current Swimming club team. She is a multi-event swimmer who qualified for sectional and grand prix competition.
"Madi came to our junior day last year and we knew right away that she should become a Vandal," Sowa said. "She has already put together a great senior year and should make an immediate contribution to our backstroke events as well as the 500 free."
Kay comes to Idaho from San Ramon, Calif., where she will graduate from Dougherty Valley High School and has been a member of the Pleasanton Seahawks. She has qualified for sectional competition multiple times.
"Kortney swims for one of the best club teams in California and has a personality that is infectious," Sowa said. "I expect her to have an immediate impact on our medley events, mid-distance free and breaststroke. She gives us a ton of options, which is great."
Messegee, like Brewer, is the daughter of a coach and is a multiple sectional qualifier. She graduates this spring from Centralia (Wash.) High School and is a member of the Poseidon Aquatic Club.
"Abi brings a lot of ability in the backstroke events and the mid-distance freestyle," Sowa said. "She has a ton of upside and we expect her to develop into a great Vandal. She will make competition among our backstroke group even better."
Rosen, who has qualified for Junior National competition in multiple events, is a member of the North Whidbey Aquatic Club and will graduate this spring from Oak Harbor (Wash.) High School.
"Laura had a breakthrough summer last year and is knocking on the door of making it to the national level," Sowa said. "She gives us the wonderful problem of being able to swim just about anything. We are extremely excited to have her join the program."
Stahmer graduates in the spring from Millbrook High School at Raleigh, N.C., and has been a member of the YCMA of the Triangle AREA YOTA.
"Hannah's 500 time would have been in the top eight in the conference this year," Sowa said of Stahmer, who is a multiple national qualifier. "Hannah fills a need we have in the 500 free as well as giving us a ton more depth in our mid-distance events. From the moment she was on campus, we knew she would be a great Vandal."
Strachan brings an undefeated 100 fly record from Wachusett Regional High School (Rutland, Mass.) and was a U.S. National Qualifier as a member of the Greenwood Memorial Swim Club. Her personal best is one second faster than the current Idaho 100 fly record and her 200 IM and 200 fly would rank in the top three all-time at Idaho.
"Taylor swims for one of the best club coaches in New England history," Sowa said. "She has a tremendous work ethic and a desire to take her swimming to the highest level. She will make an immediate impact on our team as well as the conference."
Weinman is a multiple sectional qualifier as well and will graduate from Richland (Wash.) High School. She has been a member of the Tri-City Channel Cats club team.
"Nicole is an awesome kid from a great program in the area," Sowa said. "She gives us some much needed help in our distance events and brings a great work ethic that will make her a tremendous Vandal."
Lamey is the lone diver in the group and will graduate this spring from Ronald Reagan High School at San Antonio. She recently won her high school regional competition to qualify for the Texas High School Championship Meet. She also is a member of the San Antonio Divers.
"I am beyond excited to begin working with Madison," Vandal dive coach Chelsea Oates said. "She will bring so much to our team both in and out of the pool. She has the skill set and work ethic to become great here at Idaho as well as a personality that you can't help but love."
As the Vandals come off their best performance at the Western Athletic Conference Meet, Sowa sees the impact this group can have.
"This gives us depth and speed across all events as well as bolstering our diving program," he said. "This also proves that while we are going to be great recruiters in the region, we can also draw from places like New England, the South, and Texas.
"We are truly excited to have these athletes join our Vandal family."

Music Industry Fights Unlicensed Lyrics Websites
The National Music Publishers Association, which represents US music publishers and songwriters, began sending takedown notices to some 50 websites that publish unlicensed song lyrics in an attempt to protect the music industry members from piracy.
The association uses the work of David Lowery, a researcher at the University of Georgia, to establish the list of websites that are not authorized to post song lyrics on the Internet and profit off the creative work without paying royalties.
"Unlicensed lyric sites are largely ignored as copyright infringers, but in fact these sites generate huge web traffic and involve more money than one might think" said David Lowery in a report on the NMPA websites. "The lyric business is clearly more valuable in the Internet age."
The takedown notice may be followed by lawsuits in what often evolves into long-term action against the numerous websites distributing unauthorized content, including song recording, song lyrics and music videos. The first three music copyright infringing websites pointed out by NMPA are rapgenius.com, lyricsmania.com, and lyricstranlate.com.
The music industry group focuses on websites that gain money through advertising placement without paying royalties to songwriters and publishers and aren't licensed via websites such as lyricfind.com and musixmatch.com.
"The goal is not to shut down the infringing sites but for the NMPA and the sites to work together to iron out an agreement," said NMPA spokeswoman Amy Lee, as reported by NetworkWorld. "Still, if the sites don't become licensed or otherwise change their ways, lawsuits could come next."

Rejecting a Plea Deal, Winona Ryder Appears Prepared to Stand Trial on Felony Shoplifting Charges
Ryder's case, which could reach opening arguments this week—barring any last-minute plea deals or broken bones (one pretrial hearing in June was delayed after a cameraman collided with Ryder's elbow)—could shape up as a serious showdown. Believing he can win at trial, Geragos plans to attack the credibility of Saks Fifth Avenue security guards who say they saw the star snipping antitheft tags off items and leaving the Beverly Hills store last Dec. 12 with more than $6,000 in designer clothing.
Ryder has scored one victory: On Oct. 9 prosecutors asked Fox to drop drug-possession charges against her. (Geragos says Ryder, 30, had a prescription for the painkillers found in her purse.) Team Ryder has also denounced the remaining felony-theft charges as unfair, claiming that most first-time shoplifting suspects are charged with only misdemeanors and that Ryder's fame is making her a target. "It's clear to anybody who has followed the situation that she's been overcharged," Geragos says. "She's been treated differently than anybody in my experience." Counters Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons: "The charges filed against Ms. Ryder are the same charges that we would file against Jane Doe if we had evidence that she committed a similar crime."
Of course, Jane Doe never headlined a multimillion-dollar movie. For actors a felony conviction can spell serious career trouble. "Even if there's no jail time imposed, there would be more reporting requirements to a probation officer, serious travel restrictions and the problem of insurance, a biggie in the industry," says Daniel Brookman, a former attorney for Robert Downey Jr. Geragos says Ryder is ready to fight. "This is an extremely trying situation," he says, "but through it all she has really maintained her sense of humor and has handled it well."

MarketMarket Cafe in Rosendale this Thursday
A stripped down version of South County (we mean less members not unclothed) will take to the stage this Thursday night in Rosendale, NY - just north of New Paltz.
"Market Market Café is a restaurant and micro-venue located in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York. We take an artistic approach to both our food and programming, walking the line between hi-brow and low-brow, fancy and casual, vegetarian and omnivorous, sophisticated and glib."
Word is that some of The Felice Brothes live in town and hang out at this place sometimes. The food is fantastic and Rosendale is a great little village.

Miami Hurricanes Kids' Party (22 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
With football season right around the corner and summer winding down, the two were combined for a football themed pool party (the guest of honor's "future" favorite team). This is a focus on the food, drink, and dessert tables.
Mixed orange flowers in bud vases were at the center of each table.
Artificial turf was used as overlays on the food, drink, and dessert tables.
University of Miami paraphernalia were used throughout such as a mini Miami Hurricanes football helmet caddy which held the serving tongs, a mini University of Miami mug which held the football shaped picks, a custom designed "Go Canes" banner which hung over the food table, and dinnerware such as cups and dessert plates.
Since it was a pool party and kids were more preoccupied with playing in the pool than eating, the kids' lunches were served in squat take-out boxes. Each box included either a ham or turkey and cheese sandwich wrapped in University of Miami tissue paper, a bag of chips and a chocolate covered Oreo, two University of Miami soft mints, and a mini squish football toy.
For the adults: a tray of ham and turkey sandwiches with the fixings on the side, a bag of chips, and a small cup of pasta salad.
Drinks: Mini bottled water with custom bottle labels in the school colors and the guest of honor's name on each label. Also, no football field is complete without the iconic Gatorade cooler full of Gatorade which was also served.
Guests filled gable boxes in the green, white, and orange school colors with various treats from the dessert table. Treats included cupcakes, cookies, and chocolate covered treats. Lemon and vanilla cupcakes were topped with football field and the "U" logo cupcake toppers, and wrapped in football themed cupcake wrappers. Chocolate covered pretzel sticks and chocolate covered Oreo cookies were drizzled with orange and green colored white chocolate. Miami Hurricanes themed sugar cookies included different shapes such as a football, helmet, jersey, stadium, pennant flags and circles with the school name and logo, and the team's mascot, Sebastian the Ibis. The 2-tier cake matched the theme and school colors and was topped with a fondant version of the guest of honor with his "U" hat and holding a football.

It's never a bad time to buy a swimsuit, and we've decided on the impractical Michael Kors Plunging Twisted Halter Maillot ($248). It probably won't hold up if we do laps, and the goods are definitely coming out if we attempt a flip turn. It's not even ideal for lying out because the tan lines would be ridiculous. But it looks amazing! So we'll pile on that sunscreen and grab a chair and a drink, because we aren't doing anything too crazy in this baby.

A Bit of History
Andrews was named for Jessie Andrews or "Miss Jessie" as she was called on the campus. Jessie was the first woman to graduate from UT (1886 - German Studies) and when she did the other male graduates gave her a gold medal with the five point star and seal of Texas. Jessie also became UT's first female Texas-Ex and the first female instructor at UT. Andrews Residence Hall was the third dormitory built for women on-campus. It opened in September 1936 to house approximately 118 of the University's women students. The building is of Spanish Renaissance style architecture with cream bricks and a red tile roof. In the Fall of 1993, Andrews became a coed building and a part of the Honors Residence Halls.

The end of the year is a fun time to make lists to look back at what happened during the year we are wrapping up. I always look forward to these in magazines and newspapers and online, of course.
Happy Holidays from Newsroom Notes.
And now without further adieu—and in no particular order—are some of the top stories of 2012.
White House ready to step on the (natural) gas
In a January State of the Union address, President Barack Obama said the White House will take steps to develop the country's natural gas supply that can last roughly 100 years and could create up to 600,000 jobs by the end of this decade, as well as power trucks and factories that are cheaper and cleaner.
UPS remains focused with planned acquisition of TNT Express.
Despite a fair share of stops and starts in the acquisition process—many of which stem from competition concerns within Europe—logistics and Transportation bellwether UPS is committed to bringing Netherlands-based TNT NV, a provider of mail and courier services and the fourth largest global parcel operator, into the Big Brown Family.
MAP-21 is signed into law
After 30 months of continuing resolutions, a two-year, $118 billion transportation bill for the nation's transportation projects, the bill—entitled MAP-21 (Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century—on was signed into law in July.
CSA challenges are not going away
The fine print, execution and enforcement of CSA is irking trucking industry leaders and officials. CSA, which stands for "Compliance, Safety, Accountability," was designed to weed out as many as 5 percent—of 150,000 of the nation's 3 million or so long-haul truck drivers that the feds believe are involved in an disproportionately high number of truck accidents and fatalities.
ATA chief raises call for federal gas tax hike
Even though there is now a new transportation bill, funding remains an issue. American Trucking Associations President and CEO says raising the federal gas tax, which has not been raised in nearly 20 years, is an obvious way to help foot the bill.
The 'new' Peak Season?
Peak Season as we once knew it may have truly become a thing of the past, with shippers keeping a closer eye on inventory and ports pointing to instead of the majority of imports coming in August, that may be shifting to July.
RedPrairie to acquire JDA
Supply chain and logistics software and technology providers RedPrairie and JDA Software announced that the two companies and its affiliates have entered into a definitive merger agreement. The total value of the transaction is roughly $1.9 billion and it is expected to close by the end of this year.
DOT rolls out Freight Policy Council
Department of Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood introduced the Freight Policy Council, an effort focused on national domestic freight initiatives that will focus on improving the condition and performance of the national freight network to better ensure the ability of the U.S. to compete in the global economy.
FedEx rolls out cost reduction plans
In October, the company unveiled its goal of an annual profitability improvement of $1.7 billion over the next three years, with the majority of benefits to be achieved by fiscal 2015.
USPS reports record-breaking loss
Even with continued gains in its Shipping Services segment, the financial outlook for the United States Postal Service remains dim, with announcement that it incurred a record net loss of $15.9 billion for fiscal year 2012, compared to a $5.1 billion loss in fiscal year 2011.
YRCW showing signs of improvement
LTL carrier YRC Worldwide, which has lost in excess of $2.6 billion in the last five years, posted sharply improved third quarter operating results in the 15th month under new CEO James L. Welch. YRCWorldwide reported a third quarter operating profit of $27.3 million on top of a $15.5 million operating profit in the second quarter.
EU puts a 'freeze' on emissions trading scheme
The European Union (EU) said it will implement a one-year "freeze" on its costly emissions trading scheme (ETS) that would impose new emissions taxes on U.S. and the United States and other nations' air carriers flying into and out of the EU.

World AIDS Day ~ Grand Rapids: A Community Reflects, Reacts and Rejoices
Dec 01
World AIDS Day, observed December 1, is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. Events recognizing it will take place globally, including one in Grand Rapids.
World AIDS Day ~ Grand Rapids: A Community Reflects, Reacts and Rejoices takes place Saturday, December 1st at 6:30p.m., at Fountain Street Church at 24 Fountain Street N.E.
WADGR Coordinator, Jeffrey Richard Cipcic, saw the need for a renewed focus on AIDS awareness. "As long as people are still testing positive for HIV….there is a need for this event. There is HIV education fatigue as well as 'it won't happen to me, I'm not that kind of person' mentality in our very community." He adds, "The reality is that people, all types of people, are still putting themselves at risk for contracting this virus and doing so! Many times it is a split second decision, and other times, its plain old ignorance, that will result in a person living with this virus for the rest of their life…….'knowledge is power'".
"The evening is about bringing people together to reflect for those that lost their battle, react to those who are living with HIV, and to rejoice for the future," said Cipcic. "We want to open up discussions about HIV/AIDS," he adds, "and have a beautiful evening in the process." An eclectic evening is planned including, West Michigan's 2011 Jazz Society Musician of the Year Edye Evans Hyde, GVSU's Momentum Dance Co., In Harmony all-inclusive community choir and much more.
In addition to the entertainment scheduled for the evening, there will be an information area with local HIV/AIDS service organizations at the event. Admission is free of charge, with a freewill offering scheduled to take place. Proceeds from the offering will benefit St. Mary's Health Care Special Immunology Services, which provides direct care and educational resources for those affected by HIV. For more information on the event, visitwww.worldaidsgr.com. or check us out on Facebook at World AIDS Day – GR.Read More

If you have been following along with the example, the database objects created emulate an Oracle 11g database, and you can shuttle all the offline database objects to the Selected list.
If you have created objects that emulate another database type, for example an Oracle XE database, shuttle all objects except ORDERS to the Selected list. This is because table partitions have been defined in ORDERS, which are not supported in XE databases.
After selecting database objects in step 3 of the wizard, no additional action is needed in subsequent steps.
In Step 4 of the wizard you can select whether to CREATE, REPLACE or ALTER the chosen objects. In this example you are creating new objects so the default of CREATE can be accepted.
Step 5 allows you to specify the name and directory of the SQL script to be generated and other options such as prefixing the object name with the schema name.
Step 6 summarizes the options chosen in the wizard and lets you save this set of options for reuse.

It's been over 9 years since the people of Colorado voted to legalize marijuana for medical use, but the full effects of this change have only recently been noticed in the day-to-day life of most residents. The change is due in part to an announcement by the Obama administration to make such use a low priority for federal drug enforcement, a departure from the previous administration's policy of raiding and prosecuting clinics and users in states where voters had approved similar measures.
According to the Denver Attorney General, there are currently 194 medial marijuana dispensaries that have obtained sales licenses within the city limits. This boom is evident to anyone who has picked up the local Westword weekly lately and found that the pages upon pages of advertising for these clinics and related services (security, growers' seminars, suppliers) have far eclipsed any other advertising category. New facilities open almost daily in nearly every part of the city (see a map of downtown dispensaries below.)
While these clinics operate according to the law as passed in 2000, the change in the local landscape has raised the alarm of some residents and law enforcement, leading to a backlash against Colorado's newest "green" business community. State Representative Tom Massey (R- Poncha Springs) plans to introduce a bill that would restrict each "caregiver" to 5 patients each, a change that would essentially outlaw the dispensary model in Colorado.
Across Civic Center form the State Capitol, the Denver City Council has been debating its own attempt to balance the needs of patients, of law enforcement, and of other Denver residents. The Council is holding a public hearing at 6 pm Monday, January 11, on regulations that would apply to those dispensaries operating in the city. The bill would set a 1000 foot distance requirement from schools, child care centers, and other dispensaries; limit certain felons from operating dispensaries; bar onsite consumption of marijuana; and set fees and security measures.
The level of expected interest in this contentious topic is so high that the City has released special instructions for the public hearing. The time allowed for public comment has been doubled from one to two hours. In addition, potential speakers have been explicitly reminded that they are prohibited from using profanity or making personal attacks during their comments; and that audience applause is not allowed in Council chambers.

Customer service is supposed to be the most effective and unique weapon in your arsenal through which you conquer the hearts of your clients, while battling it out with your competition. Then why is it that some companies tend to drive away their customers with their services rather than attracting them towards their product portfolio.
The answer to this seemingly confusing conundrum is actually very simple, and that is the method and quality of the customer service provided to the clients. A service which has been solely created to provide the customers with a satisfying experience with a company and make them feel valued can be completely ruined if the techniques employed, tend to irritate a client.
If the customer service methods employed to satisfy, appease and persuade a client to use a certain product or remove their concerns about a service, are not handled efficiently, then a business might be running a high risk of losing potential, as well as current, customers to the competition.
According to research statistics, companies which engage in providing clients with poor customer service, tend to lose around $338.5 billion annually. The loss of precious resources which had been strategically spent with the intention of boosting sales for the company, are in fact lost because of the inefficient methods employed by the companies.
Around 78% of customers have been estimated to have bailed out of purchasing an offering or deriving benefit from a service, just because of a poor experience with the customer service of a company. With such a high percentage of potential clients just turning away from buying a product which they need and probably like, for the sole reason of inferior quality services, is a major point of concern for all companies striving for a market share in the industry.
The apparent loss of resources and effort expended by the company to satisfy customers go down the drain and display completely opposite effects on the purchasing habits of the potential client market, by driving them towards the competition.
According to a research, customers allocate relative weightage and importance to various traits when opting to purchase a product from a specific brand. The research findings stated that the reason why customers commit to a brand is based on only 33% importance of brand reputation while around 73% on friendly customer service. This goes to show that customer service is the ultimate deciding factor which prompts clients to opt for a brand, and messing up this great opportunity to win customers can very well risk the position of the company within the market.
There are some common customer service practices employed by companies which tend to irritate clients and result in the loss of sales for a business. These include:
• Automated customer service
• Long hold times and waits on service calls
• No human interaction on service calls
• Repetition of information by customer, multiple times to different customer service individuals
Therefore, instead of driving away prospective clients, convert them into loyal customers with the simple magic of professional customer service.

A shooting at a Sunset Strip nightclub left record label mogul Suge Knight critically wounded along with two unnamed women. Early Sunday morning gunshots rang out at the 10 AK club in West Hollywood. Founder of Death Row Records, Suge, who is no stranger to shootings, is in intensive care with gunshot wounds to his stomach, arms and other areas. His family reports today that he is expected to survive, according to the Washington Times on Aug. 24.
One woman is in critical condition today and the other one is reported to be in stable condition, both suffering from gunshot wounds. R&B singer Chris Brown was co-hosting the party along with Pia Mia at the nightclub where the shooting occurred. Brown and Pia Mia were both inside the nightclub at the time of the shooting, but neither were in harm's way, reports the San Francisco Gate today.
An updated report from Wicked Local News reports that Suge was shot six times during the pre-VMA party and he is in intensive care at a California hospital today. The record label magnet was at the 10AK nightclub in West Hollywood and after being rushed to the hospital by ambulance, he went into surgery due to the gunshot wounds.
Celeb Dirty Laundry reports that despite being shot six times, Suge was able to walk out of the nightclub on his own accord. An officer met him on his way out the door and got him to a squad car while he waited for an ambulance.
The rapper, The Game, arrived at this party around midnight, but was denied entry and he got into an altercation with the security guards at the club. Members of his entourage went inside, but not The Game. In 2005 Surge was shot at a MTV VMA pre-party. That party was hosted by Kanye West. Suge was shot and robbed during that incident, according to the Washington Times.
Suge was with Tupac the night he died in probably the most notorious drive-by shootings in Los Angeles back in the '90s. He was driving the car that Tupac was in when he was shot dead by unknown assailants.
Celeb Dirty Laundry suggests that "most insiders believed that Suge was a huge part of the setup that killed Tupac." Suge was just inches away from Tupac in the car and not shot once. This is the third shooting Suge has been in while in Hollywood. He was shot in two of the three shootings, all that seem to have some ties to the music business.
Earlier today due to the medical privacy laws the hospital could not release any information on Suge's condition and they wouldn't even confirm if he was being treated there or not. Now that the reports are out, people weren't expecting to hear that Suge was in intensive care as the shooting seemed to be played down a bit.
Suge works magic with his record label, he makes megastars out of his clients, which included Tupac. He also put Dr. Dre and Snoop Dog on the map. Suge and the rappers he represented were said to "shifted the center of the rap universe to the West Coast in the '90s," reports Wicked Local News today.

Intro to Hiking and Camping
If you're new to hiking, start with a short trip of no more than a few hours. The biggest challenge you're likely to encounter is keeping your bearings and making the correct turns at trail junctions. This can happen even in popular places, where trails run off in every direction, or in more remote areas where no trails exist. Before you set off, carefully examine a map or guidebook to familiarize yourself with features of the route, and to anticipate conditions you might find.

SEATTLE (AP) -The 10th-ranked Washington State Cougars have earned their archrivals' utmost respect.
"I think they're better than number 10," Washington's Jon Brockman said after the Cougars beat the Huskies 65-61 on Wednesday night. "They're a great ball club. They didn't get flustered when we got the lead."
"Washington State is a well oiled machine," Washington coach Lorenzo Romar added. "They capitalize on every mistake that you make."
Taylor Rochestie scored a season-high 16 and Derrick Low hit two free throws with 16.7 seconds left to help the poised Cougars win a close game down the stretch.
Freshman center Spencer Hawes had 22 points and Brockman added 15 and 14 rebounds for the Huskies.
The Cougars (22-4, 11-3 Pac-10), who received their highest ranking in history in this week's The Associated Press poll, won their fifth straight conference game this month after an overtime loss to Oregon.
The Huskies (16-9, 6-8) had won five of their previous six league games.
Picked to finish in last place in the Pac-10 preseason media poll after having a 4-14 record in the conference last season, Washington State's confidence is now soaring.
"It's definitely up there for this time of the year," Kyle Weaver said.
Teammate Robbie Cowgill agreed.
"This is the type of game that we probably would have lost last year or the year before," Cowgill said, referring to Washington State's 12-16 record when he was a freshman and 11-17 when he was a sophomore.
Rochestie is blossoming in his first season with Washington State.
"I tried to take control of the situation," he said.
Low put the Cougars ahead 62-58 with a 3-pointer with 3:58 to go, but Justin Dentmon of Washington sank a 3-pointer with 3:28 left. Low's two free throws with 16.7 came after he was fouled by Adrian Oliver.
Cowgill added a free throw for the Cougars with 7.3 seconds to go.
Low added 12 points and Ivory Clark 10 for the defensive-minded Cougars, who came into the game ranked 10th nationally, yielding 57.6 points per game.
Washington State beat Washington for the fourth straight time over two seasons. The Cougars beat the Huskies 75-47 in Pullman on Jan. 20, but Washington played without the 7-foot Hawes, their leading scorer, in that game because he had a sprained ankle.
In the second half, Washington took the lead at 58-57 on a driving layup by Hawes with 5:33 to go before Daven Harmeling allowed the Cougars to retake the lead at 59-58 with a 15-foot baseline jumper with 5:13 left. Low then sank his second 3-pointer to put Washington State ahead 62-58.
The Cougars led 40-32 at halftime, holding the Huskies without a basket in the final 7:04 of the first half.
Washington State's stingy defense limited Washington to seven free throws after Ryan Appleby's third 3-pointer cut the Cougars' lead to 26-25 with 7:04 to go in the opening half.
Clark had two of his three first-half dunks - and eight points - in the final 6:11 of the first half, when the Cougars went on a 14-5 run to go up by eight points at halftime. Clark's dunk with 6:11 left came on a pass from Cowgill and gave Washington State a 28-27 lead.
Washington State, which has never won a Pac-10 regular-season title, is in second place in the conference standings with four games left. UCLA leads with a 10-2 record.
"This is big time," first-year Cougars coach Tony Bennett said. "There is no question about that."
