Fall Tennis Continues as Women Begin in Missouri, Men Head to NYC
• Both Princeton tennis teams will be in action this weekend as the women's team heads to Columbia, Mo., for Missouri's Aces for the Cure Invitational and the men visit the National Tennis Center in New York.
• The women's tournament will put Princeton players against those from Tulsa, Oklahoma State and Missouri in doubles and singles competitions. The schedule is as follows:
Friday, Princeton will face Tulsa in doubles at 10 a.m. ET and Oklahoma State in doubles at 11:30 a.m., followed by Missouri in singles at 2:30 p.m. Saturday, Princeton will face Missouri in doubles at 10 a.m. ET, followed by Oklahoma State in doubles at 11:30 a.m. and Tulsa in singles at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Princeton will face Tulsa in doubles at 10 a.m. ET, followed by Oklahoma State in singles at 11:30 a.m.
• The event is the first competition of the fall season for the women's team, while the men's team opened its season last weekend by hosting the Farnsworth/Princeton Invitational.
• Ten Princeton men's players are registered to compete at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center Men's College Invitational, a regional event that runs Friday through Sunday.
• Princeton's singles players in the event are: Augie Bloom, Jonathan Carcione, Michael Lin, Zack McCourt, Matija Pecotic, Ben Quazzo, Florin Radu, Dan Richardson, Matt Siow and Matt Spindler. The doubles pairs are scheduled to be Bloom-Spindler, Carcione-Siow, Radu-Richardson, Lin-Quazzo and McCourt-Pecotic.
• Pecotic has been named the No. 2 overall seed for the open singles event, as the two-time Ivy League Player of the Year enters the tournament fresh off his victory in the top singles flight at the Farnsworth/Princeton Invitational while also teaming with McCourt to win the top doubles flight.
• Pecotic will open against Brown's Mike Riechmann at 10:30 a.m. Friday in the "A" draw, with McCourt in the same bracket against SMU's Arturs Kasijevs at 10:30. Bloom will face Harvard's Henry Steer at noon in the "B" draw, with Spindler against Army's Alex VanVelzer at noon. Richardson will face Marko Knezevic of Saint Peter's at 10:30 in the "C" draw. Siow will start against Chris Jimenez of Saint Francis (Pa.) at noon in the "D" draw, with Carcione starting against Dartmouth's Sam Todd in the same draw at noon. Radu, against Marist's Joris Van Eck, and Quazzo, against Harvard's Brendan Seaver, will start the "E" draw at 10:30. In the "G" draw, Lin will start against Eric Jacobs of Columbia at noon.
• In doubles, Pecotic and McCourt are the top seed in the No. 1 draw and will start against Jaimes Barnhart and Kevin Budrawich of Sacred Heart at 9 a.m., with Bloom and Spindler in the No. 2 draw against Dartmouth's Erik Nordahl and Brendan Tannenbaum at 9 a.m. Carcione and Siow will start against Peder Gram and Mike Puntillo of Fordham at 9 a.m. in the No. 3 draw. Lin and Quazzo have a bye in the No. 4 bracket and won't play until Saturday, nor will Radu and Richardson in that same draw.

One of my sources was checking on the status of Chris Hero now that he has landed a WWE developmental contract and name change to Kassius Ohno and walked away with a bizarre story.
When Chris Hero's original baseline testing came back with elevated testosterone levels that prevented him from originally getting signed by WWE, he had a pretty interesting excuse. Hero claimed that since his entire life was pretty much consumed by wrestling as much as possible and having sex with as many women as possible, his testosterone levels were naturally off the charts. I'm told WWE actually believed the excuse and ordered him to refrain from wrestling and sexual activity to see if his numbers would come down to a reasonable level. This is why Hero went from popping up on random shows in Florida to kind of being missing in action.
Sure enough, Hero's levels came down and he was able to ink a WWE developmental contract. I'm told there is no heat on him over the issue and he's actually joked with friends about how his level of sexual activity nearly cost him a shot with WWE.

text: Methadone Methadone deaths down, but cause could be shift to other drugs Tuesday. The Northwest has one of the highest Methadone prescription rates in the country. You've probably heard of Methadone in the context of treatment for heroin addiction. But it's also a painkiller in the same league as Vicodin and OxyContin. According to the CDC, Methadone prescriptions and overdose deaths peaked in 2007. It's a trend borne out by drug death numbers from the Seattle area and Oregon. The CDC credits public awareness campaigns and better prescription drug monitoring programs.

week 9 – getting distracted

where to start with this week? its been one distraction after another. it seems like everything i've had to get done, didn't.
the work golf day is coming round in the next month or so, so the rev and i will need to start our practice plan to avoid me making a fool of myself on the first tee.
one of my dealextreme orders came, amongst other things a laser pointer that can pop balloons & one of those fire starting sparky firing things we all had as kids in scouts. campfire here we come.

A huge portion of my next three days will be spent within aluminum tubes slicing through the air at hundreds of miles per hour. It will seem to me as if I am sitting still in extremely cramped quarters with a dozen channels of crappy satellite television to keep me occupied once my laptop battery craps out.
Maybe I'll read.

I've never liked my Vaio. It's slow, has little space, is crazy heavy, and has pathetic battery life. The only thing I like about it is the size of the screen for playing games/photo editing, but not for movies[it can't handle black worth shit]
The thinkpad was a gift from my advisor. I love it. It's fast, light, has more space than my Vaio, and has a 3.5 hour battery life. My only gripe is the crappy sound from speakers put on the bottom of the laptop.
It's me-sized! =]
I'm busy being an engineer so photos have sort of taken a backseat. Sorry. I'm sick of sluts anyways. They're boring. My current classes keep me from that side of campus so I'm pretty happy.

Question of the Week: How long does your CCI laptop battery last?0
by swanksalot
Question of the Week: How long does your CCI laptop battery last?
For some UNC students, their college careers will last longer than the lifespan of the batteries in their CCI computers.
Freshmen said their computers' battery lives last between four and five hours.
"I'm pretty good at making my battery last throughout the day," said freshman Allison Farmer. "I try to let the battery get pretty low before I charge it, and I don't leave it plugged in once it reaches 100%."
UNC's IT Help and Support website links to the site of CCI manufacturer Lenovo. That page inlcudes tips for extending battery life by utilizing power-saving modes such as hibernation and standby or decreasing LCD brightness. By the time students reach their junior year, CCI laptop battery life seems to decrease.
"My laptop only takes two hours to die," said junior Tiffany Williamson. "It always seems to die at the most inconvenient times – usually when I'm about to use it for class or homework."
Another junior had an optimistic view of his computer's untimely death.
"I think it's kind of a good thing that I don't take my laptop to class anymore," said junior Zach Alexander. "I feel like I pay more attention when I write my notes. The internet is just too intoxicating."
One senior seemed to suffer worst of all.
"I almost had to buy an expensive replacement battery, but then my laptop was stolen," said senior Kevin Barnett. "Instead, I got a whole new one."

That's what you get in "Free State of Jones," a historical drama based on Newton Knight (Matthew McConaughey), a Mississippi farmer who rebelled against the Rebels during the Civil War.

HTC recently confirmed that the European variants of the HTC One S will be available having two different hardware configurations.
The first would be what one might call the standard version, as it's the one you all probably know. It has the Qualcomm Snapdragon dual core 1.4 Ghz chipset with 1GB of RAM. The other one has the same hardware configuration as the rumored Taiwanese version. It is powered by the Snapdragon S3 clocked at a higher 1.7 Ghz. " In order to meet massive consumer demands," HTC has released both variants in Europe. Last year's Snapdragon S3 has been overclocked to 1.7 Ghz but will it reach the same performance as the new released Snapdragon S4? Here are a few benchmarks results to sort it all out.
Also, in BrowserMark, the One S with the Snapdragon S3 got 87739 points while the Snapdragon S4 got 106712 points. Be careful what you buy that's what I always say. It's clear that the S4 crushes the older S3 in every benchmark, even with it's CPU clocked at 1.7Ghz. Why would HTC sell a slower HTC One S at the same price? Better look at the specs if you decide to get one.

Green Square
Major redevelopment site
The $13 billion Green Square project is transforming the southern precinct of our local area into a vibrant and sustainable urban environment.
From its industrial past, Green Square is emerging as a place of innovative housing design, bespoke business and retail, and creative and engaged communities proud of their area's past and future.
Green Square is set to become a new exemplar of sustainable high density living with developments linked to recycled water, shops, parks, gardens, entertainment, and bike and walking routes.
At the heart of the Green Square development is the new town centre, a major new residential, retail and cultural hub.
Sydney Your SayChinese language update here – 此处查阅中文最新概Catch up at the Green Square infohub
The City has committed $540 million over the next 10 years to deliver quality infrastructure and community facilities such as a new library and plaza, aquatic centre, parks and open space, public art, a childcare centre and community creative hub.
Planning and development
The City also has a role in Green Square to ensure planning controls for the new town centre and nearby precincts allow for growth and development that is sustainable, innovative and respects the character of existing neighbourhoods.
Green Square is one of the fastest growing areas in the City's local area – new families are moving in every day, while residents in long-established suburbs like Rosebery have lived there for many generations. This diverse community needs opportunities to create and build connections while exploring their interests.
Fast facts
- The Green Square development area is 278 hectares.
- It includes the suburbs of Beaconsfield and Zetland, and parts of Rosebery, Alexandria and Waterloo.
- It is just 3.5km from the city centre and 4km from the airport.
- It will eventually have 30,500 new dwellings, including about 10,000 now under assessment or construction.
- When fully completed after 2030, Green Square's total population may reach 61,000, although long range forecasts vary with changes to the property market, the economy and other factors.
- It is forecast to provide 21,000 permanent jobs, many of which will be in the new town centre.
- The new town centre will be built next to the Green Square train station, bordered by Bourke Street to the north and Joynton Avenue to the south.
The map highlights the Green Square town centre and the facilities to be built.
Town centre north construction updates
The City of Sydney, Mirvac, UrbanGrowth NSW and Crown Group are the major developers constructing facilities, infrastructure and apartments in the north of the Green Square town centre.
To make life easier for surrounding residents, we've joined forces with the other developers, providing combined construction updates and one point of contact for queries.
The group sends out printed updates to nearby residents each fortnight.
You can also download copies of the updates.

Leadership awards for excellence is something every company should be using as a tool for better productivity and increase profitability of the company.
Many company leaders never think of using the award/reward system because they feel it may be too costly especially in today's world of a stressed economy. However, it is my belief from past experience that this is something too vital in a company culture to dismiss. It may cost less to have an award/reward system that creates an atmosphere of eager employees vying for awards so they do all they can to out-perform one another than to make the decision not to put it in motion.
Employees who feel unappreciated and unrewarded for their excellent work soon join the ranks of those who just do enough to 'get by' and avoid being fired. Once that begins, it's an insidious, unspoken mindset that says, "Don't bother being great, no one will care anyway."
This attitude can create a boring, uninspired team of slackers who only want a paycheck and could care less about great performance. Remember, the company culture and attitudes come directly from above.
There's a large financial services company that was founded in the 70's by an ex-high school football coach. He's now retired to live in luxury but when he was at the helm of the company his team members would practically faint if they received a t-shirt from him during an award presentation at company conventions.
Imagine, a $10 t-shirt being more highly prized than thousands of dollars. Of course, it had to do with what he had created as a company culture but also the fact that he was motivating, uplifting and cared about his people and they knew it was from the heart.
He was no pushover by any means, but even when he was calling someone a "Dadgum Dead Butt," people just accepted it, knew they had better shape up and it actually motivated them to perform better.
Giving Awards Can Go A Long Way
An award/reward signifies to the person receiving it that they are special and their hard work is being recognized. Naturally, if a company can afford cash rewards that is a huge motivator.
In this economy, imagine the excitement of receiving a few hundred extra dollars. Don't you think when the other employees see the award presentation and know there is money to be made by improving and excelling at job performance more people will begin to shine?
Better job performance can bring in more money for the company and ensure longevity and improve the company "brand."

When people go to work for a new employer there is nothing worse than a low-level manager telling them, "Here's your desk, here's what you need to do so get busy." No matter how many college degrees someone has earned and no matter how great a job they did at their previous company in the same position with a similar job description, each company has different rules and ways of doing different tasks.
Shoving a company handbook in a new employees hand and expecting them to be up to speed in the first week is not only a mistake, but unwise. Perhaps the new person is a self-starter and can figure out things on their own, but many aren't so why start them off at a disadvantage?
If several new people have just been hired you could hold a few days of company orientation and they can support one another in getting up to speed. In the case of only one new hire, choose someone who has a similar job description, make sure they will be considerate, show an interest in the new hire and help them for a few days until they are familiar with the day to day tasks and projects.
Giving people a clear, concise pathway to success from the very beginning will make it easier for them to assimilate into the company and start off on the right foot. Giving them an overview of how competence and excellence will bring them rewards can have someone off and running, eager to please and the potential of becoming an employee most companies would love to have on the payroll.
By continually training your team, you will immediately give them the tools they will need for them to receive a leadership award.
Communicate What Is Expected
Make sure all employees are kept informed of the long-term plans of the company, the corporate vision, mission and any major developments that are in play. An open door policy does wonders for company participation and allowing workers to discuss issues or ideas with upper-management will help the team see the business and leaders as caring and compassionate.
Any new and innovative idea presented by an employee that could save the company money or increase productivity should be addressed immediately and if implemented, the employee with the suggestion or idea should be rewarded and done in a public setting during a company meeting or convention.
Higher levels of employee engagement and interest in helping the company move forward creates better productivity, better service and a lower attrition rate for workers. This can make the award/reward system even more important and worthy of some extra time and money.
Tips for Dynamic Recognition of Peak Performance
An established outline for what performance or projects completed would bring about an award or reward should be readily available so employees understand what it will take to receive the perks of a job well-done.
- Each employee must be eligible and qualify equally for the awards.
- Those who perform at a level above the others will be rewarded according to what they have done.
- Make sure the reward/award is given soon after the performance or action was taken that met the criteria for excellence.
- Never allow favoritism or let managers pick and choose from their "favorites" who receives the kudos and/or award. It should never be an "it's my turn to be rewarded" scenario. When that happens, it smacks of favoritism and loses the power of something special.
The old "Employee of the Month" is so overused and rather meaningless in corporate cultures today.
Make it a surprise if possible unless it's a contest. Of course, it never hurts to have an occasional company contest if possible, especially when sales is involved.
"Top Salesperson of the Week," month or year can be exciting, especially when there is a money prize at the other end.
Going to lunch with the boss should be a special event to be valued. Sometimes, a boss has been kind enough to take all their employees, if it's a small company, on a monthly basis.
Eventually, it becomes just one more thing to do and no one really appreciates it. Some may even begin to think of it as an entitlement and if and when the boss changes the routine there may be lots of resentment in the ranks.
In other words, think of something important like recognizing an employee who closes the most sales on the phone without having to go to a one-on-one meeting with the prospect. Or someone who comes up with an idea that saves the company thousands of dollars. Don't announce a contest or let anyone know you're even noticing, then check the records and call a company meeting in the boardroom and honor the employee with a few minutes of kudos then present them with an award/reward of some kind.
Be creative and always let them know you care.
Your employees will not only realize you're very aware of who is performing well but additionally whose performance is average and ordinary because they didn't get recognition.
Leadership awards could be enough to get their attention and even create an improved work ethic.

I have MySQL installed on a VPS, which I will use to host multiple databases for customers, who will use them from a front-end.
I have forced all communication to each database to be via SSL, and I will generate a seperate set of client SSL certificates/keys for each different customer.
My question is: the MySQL server deamon uses the same SSL server certifcate/key for communication with each different customer. Will each customer having a different client certificate be enough to ensure that they would not be able to eavesdrop on eachother's communication to the database server?

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) dropped out of the 2016 Republican presidential election after losing his home state of Florida in the state's March 15 primary. The media had touted Rubio's candidacy throughout the race, despite his poor performance in debates and GOP primaries. Here's a look back at the media's promotion of the Marco Rubio presidential candidacy.
Media are hyping an entrance poll result that shows Donald Trump receiving a plurality of votes from Hispanic Republicans in Nevada. But the vast majority of Latinos across the country do not support Trump, and experts are drawing attention to the poll's small sample size and high margin of error.

Tonight, Bill O'Reilly decided to promote the latest Lila Rose Planned Parenthood hoax video that falsely claimed to have caught Planned Parenthood's CEO Cecile Richards lying when she said her organization provides patients with access to cancer screenings including mammograms. O'Reilly said: "Apparently Planned Parenthood doesn't provide mammograms" and "they called dozens, I guess, and none of them had mammograms."
This is only the latest attempt by the right-wing media to try and smear the organization based on lies and slanted editing practices.
However, this time Mr. O'Reilly was met with some (possibly unexpected) push back. His guests, Fox News host Gretchen Carlson and Fox News regular Margaret Hoover both disagreed with O'Reilly's arguments about Planned Parenthood. Carlson pointed out that Planned Parenthood "give[s] breast exams" and that Planned Parenthood "will refer you to a mammogram if necessary."
Hoover stated: "And what happens as a result of their screenings, they refer women to have mammograms." Hoover added that Richards "was not saying that Planned Parenthood offers mammograms." Carlson's and Hoover's case would have been even stronger if they had been aware that some Planned Parenthood affiliates do provide mammograms.
Amazingly, O'Reilly refused to be won over by the facts, and claimed that Richards statement was an "intentional attempt to mislead, and they caught her."
However, given how quick Fox News has been to run with Lila Rose's false smears against Planned Parenthood, it was astonishing to see Carlson and Hoover push back against O'Reilly.

As I noted on Saturday in a post about Fox News' love/hate relationship with the LGBT community:
To be fair, you may be looking for the "love" part of [Fox News'] "love/hate" relationship in this particular story. It should be noted that Margaret Hoover -- a Fox News contributor and the great-granddaughter of President Herbert Hoover – is on the advisory board of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which spearheaded the legal challenge against Proposition 8 leading to this decision.
Now, Hoover is up with a post on FoxNews.com's Fox Forum in which she pleads with her "fellow conservatives" to "think carefully about [their] opposition to gay marriage." The piece, excerpted after the break, is well worth a read in its entirety.
Hoover is obviously passionate about marriage equality. It's a brave position to take for an avowed conservative -- especially one employed by Fox News, a network that has been antagonistic not only on marriage equality but on virtually every issue of importance to LGBT people fighting for full legal equality.
Back in April, I wrote about News Corp and Fox News' love/hate relationship with the LGBT community:
It's no secret that Fox News doesn't live up to its "fair and balanced" slogan, especially when one considers its coverage of the LGBT community. In fact, much of its coverage is openly antagonistic and downright homophobic. On issue after issue of importance, the network, its hosts, anchors, contributors, and guests offer up lies, misinformation, and right-wing spin that only further stigmatizes the gay and lesbian community.
A review of Fox News' employment practices however, reveals a network at odds with its own homophobic public image.
According to an examination of the Human Rights Campaign's (HRC) employer database, News Corp. (Fox News' parent company) has had a policy protecting employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation since at least 2005 and has offered health care benefits to same-sex partners since at least 1999. Time Warner (CNN's parent company) and General Electric (NBC/MSNBC's parent company) offer not only these basic protections to gay and lesbian employees, they appear to go even further.
The HRC's Corporate Equality Index rates Time Warner and General Electric with 100 percent and 80 percent, respectively, while News Corp. has yet to complete the survey that HRC uses to establish its index. News Corp. would give us a better understanding of how it treats LGBT employees on a variety of other important issues by completing the survey, but the media company does deserve credit for at least offering some very basic protections and benefits for gay and lesbian employees.
Lack of a Corporate Equality Index rating notwithstanding, News Corp. has taken its support for LGBT employees a step further by sponsoring the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLGJA) which describes itself on its website as "an organization of journalists, media professionals, educators and students working from within the news industry to foster fair and accurate coverage of LGBT issues." In fact, the program from the organization's annual conference last fall in Montréal included an ad from News Corp. stating: "The networks of Fox News honor NLGJA for its commitment to fair and balanced reporting. From your friends at Fox News Channel, Fox Business, News Corporation."
That ultimately is what's truly sad about News Corp.'s relationship with its LGBT "friends." The media company gives its employees decent protections and benefits while making the lives of the very same employees more difficult in the long-run by broadcasting homophobia and misinformation that harden anti-LGBT views and slow the movement for full equality under the law.
Evidence of this love/hate relationship couldn't be clearer of late, especially for those watching the right-wing network in the days following Judge Vaughn Walker's ruling that California's Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.
As Media Matters noted this week:
What must the LGBT employees at News Corp and Fox News think of their employer's attacks on the landmark, detailed, 136 page ruling?
To be fair, you may be looking for the "love" part of the "love/hate" relationship in this particular story. It should be noted that Margaret Hoover -- a Fox News contributor and the great-granddaughter of President Herbert Hoover – is on the advisory board of the American Foundation for Equal Rights, which spearheaded the legal challenge against Proposition 8 leading to this decision.
Read the entire ruling after the jump.
Fox News hosts rushed to defend Rev. Franklin Graham both before and after the Pentagon's decision to rescind his invitation to National Prayer Day, reportedly due to concerns over his incendiary comments about Islam. In doing so, the hosts often played portions of Graham's April 22 Fox News interview but omitted controversial comments Graham made during that appearance; they also ignored previous inflammatory comments Graham has made about the religion.

It was somewhat bland as per the recipe, but I added some chopped sautéed chicken, Adobo seasoning, Paprika, and roasted ground Cumin seed. (just take the ground Cumin and roast it slightly in a non-stick pan) Before adding the chicken, I used a hand mixer to smooth the texture. The spices REALLY make the flavor pop! Just season to taste.

This soup is delicious, I like to put the plantain in the blender machine and then cook that mixture, it comes out like a cream, it's really delicious and is great for weight loss because is low and calories. Try it! :)
I love this recipe. It is so easy to do! However I don't add the salt nor the cheese, for me and my husband it tastes awesome without those 2 ingredients.

Citing sources referenced in research gives credibility to your paper, protects you from plagiarism charges and provides a record for future research. Students in liberal arts and humanities classes, such as English, history, philosophy and music, typically cite sources in Modern Language Association, or MLA, style. The bibliography of a paper in MLA format should be titled "Works Cited."
Works Cited vs. Bibliography
Some citation styles require a bibliography rather than a Works Cited page. Bibliographies typically include all sources consulted during the process of writing a paper, even sources you didn't cite. Works Cited pages, in contrast, include only the sources cited within a paper with parenthetical citations.
Works Cited Page Format
The Works Cited page should begin on a new page at the end of your paper, after your conclusion and any endnotes. The page should be titled "Works Cited"; this title should be centered but not italicized, underlined or in quotation marks, according to the Purdue Online Writing Lab. Citations should be double-spaced and have a hanging indent for all lines after the first line of each entry. Use the same font size and formatting on the Works Cited page as the rest of your paper; it should have a one-inch margin and header with your last name and the page number.
Recent Changes
In 2009, the Modern Language Association made changes to the Works Cited format guidelines. The updated guidelines require the medium of publication to be included with each entry, such as print or Web, according to the Purdue Online Writing Lab. URLs are also no longer required in website citations. Check with your instructor or the latest edition of the MLA style manual to ensure your citation format is up-to-date.

Latest News Philippines: Donation by text pushed – Journal.com.ph:
SENATE Majority Leader Alan Peter Cayetano wants to tap the 14 million overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) for help to victims of the earthquake that struck in Bohol and Cebu through a text message-based donation system.
Cayetano wants to institutionalize a system allowing Filipinos to send donations for victims of calamities "via text messages" amid the powerful earthquake that rocked the Visayas region Tuesday.
He urged the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) and Bangko Sentral, along with telecommunications giants Smart and Globe, to discuss how such a donation system can be consolidated and institutionalized to raise funds for victims of calamities.
"Consider every texter a potential donor. We have seen an outpour of emotional support for Bohol and Cebu and I am almost sure that almost every one of us would want to help in any way we can to help our fellow Filipinos affected by the recent earthquake," Cayetano said.
"So why not make sending a donation as easy as sending a text message? It would empower every Filipino whose heart goes out to the calamity victims to actually make a difference even with their P1," he added.
He said that funds raised through the donation scheme could go directly to the governor of the province devastated by a calamity. "Raising funds can be as easy as buying a sim card and registering. Like with the recent earthquake in Bohol and Cebu, hospitals in need of assistance or the DoH could have donations sent in through text messages to a certain sim card," he said.
The senator said that his proposal will promote the Filipino's "spirit of bayanihan" during times of disaster, by using only their mobile phones to send their donations.
Cayetano said that if 100 million text messages – which is only a small portion of the SMS traffic sent out by Filipinos on a daily basis – would be directed to a "text-to-donate" type of system, then it would easily raise P100 million in actual funds for the victims.

"The Real Housewives of New York" star Ramona Singer has been keeping positive over the past couple of days as she is going through a painful divorce. She has been living alone in New York, as her daughter is attending college in Atlanta. However, she has flown home to be with her mother. According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on Feb. 12, "The Real Housewives of New York" star Ramona Singer's daughter has chosen her side in the divorce, as she is standing by her mother.
It is questionable whether Avery believes the cheating rumors regarding her father. Mario was caught cheating with a younger woman by the name of Kasey Dexter. There have been many rumors about this relationship, including the fact that he has dumped her and even bought her an apartment. However, Avery isn't giving her father any attention.
"She flew home specifically to see her mom and make sure she's okay," an insider has revealed. "This has been tough for both of them—and Avery made it a point NOT to see her dad." Ramona did share a picture of herself with her daughter, as the two had a weekend alone together. This weekend took place after Ramona filed for divorce and the police report went public about Mario choking Ramona in their Hamptons home.
Do you think Avery should pick sides?

Doug's storyDoug's story by FullShilling
Doug stood on his tree perch statue still his old faithful hunting rifle rested in his hands familiar,
No deer had wonder in to his line of sight all day, but he had been watching a large black bear meander his way across the field, it now rested next to a sand stone not quite the same size. Doug knew the stone well he had hunted here often, and by it he knew the size of the bear and he was a big guy.
Fresh meat and clean water had served Doug well into his fifty some years in this world, he had been a hunter from an early age and had moved from British Columbia to Ontario at an undisclosed time. He told me once how to tell Black bear shit from Grizzly, since there are no grizzlies in Ontario I wondered if this was just a moot point, but although Doug was a softly spoken polite man he still imposed a little fear in me, you got the sense that he wasn't the kind of guy you'd want to piss off.
" Ye know those 'bear bells' you can get? He asked me, I nodded my understanding.

|Public Policy and Practice | Update: June 9, 2011
CalABA's public policy advocacy work continues, but the Behavior Analyst Licensure Bill (AB 1205) is no longer in play.
Despite our strong efforts, the Assembly Appropriations Committee did not pass AB 1205 onto the full Assembly for a vote. In fact, no licensure bills made it out of committee -- nor did any of the bills which would have mandated coverage of health benefits. Like many other important issues, ours suffered from budgetary concerns and economic uncertainty.
This development is a blow to everyone in the ABA community and certainly to those who need ABA services provided by professionals.
The good news is that this experience has helped prepare us to be successful the next time.
We learned that your phone calls and letters make a difference. These letters and phone calls educated our elected officials about Applied Behavior Analysis and demonstrated the strength and commitment of our community.
We learned that we have many allies outside the ABA profession. You spoke with families who receive ABA services, public administrators who work at regional centers and school districts, teachers who work with individuals with special needs, physicians who prescribe ABA treatment, and attorneys who advocate for needed services. They raised their voices with us. We ALL see the critical need for licensure for behavior analysts based on demonstrated, objective standards which reflect training and experience (BACB).
We learned that we must continue to grow the CalABA Political Action Committee and CalABA Public Policy. Your contributions to the CalABA PAC and CalABA's public policy efforts helped us inform others about ABA and develop relationships with elected representatives. All of this will ultimately help us to achieve our goals.
Now is our chance to regroup.
We will have another opportunity to pass the Behavior Analyst Licensure Bill � doing so remains an urgent priority. As long as ABA professionals do not receive a state license, many health plans will continue to deny coverage for ABA services, practitioners will not have the same status or legitimacy as other licensed professionals, and consumers will lack basic legal protections.
CalABA is committed to supporting public policies that protect the field of Applied Behavior Analysis and make ABA services more accessible to those who need it.
There will be a Senate Hearing on July 13, 2011 about health plan coverage for individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorders. We will need our community to speak loudly and clearly about the need to license behavior analysts. More information will be made available about the Senate Hearing soon and how your voice can be heard.
CalABA will also be organizing meetings and trainings later this year to help protect our practice and science. Our focus will continue to be outreach, education, and activism. Come and learn how to be a part of CalABA's advocacy, legislative, and practice efforts.
Stay tuned. We need YOU!
The CalABA Public Policy Committee

You could say I had an obsession with English things scones, tea, people from England (complete with accents), and speaking in a British accent myself, knowing full well that England and Britain were almost the same place.
There was this one guy who I guess you could say I had the "hots" for. He tended to cuss like a sailor being from Britain, it must be a requirement to use every offensive saying in one breath. He also wore interesting outfits, most of them being between punk-rocker and Goth. He had a nose ring, snake bites, three studs in each ear, and eyebrow piercings, one for each brow. (I'd learn later he also had a tongue piercing, but we'll get to that
) He had jaggedly cut blonde hair that hung over his eyes and his thick eyebrows. His nails were painted black and he wore a black studded choker that sparkled in the light if it caught it just right. (I'm being too descriptive, aren't I? Let's get on with the story, then.)
I'd met this guy at a concert. That night, one of my favorite bands was playing: The Ugly Beavers. They did some screamo, punk-rock, and covered some Beatles' songs, my favorite being Eleanor Rigby.
I'd been screaming out the lyrics to the songs, knowing them all by heart, when I'd noticed the man I'd described was watching me far off backstage with his arms crossed across his chest. He was slightly swaying to the music, his right foot tapping on beat. He was gorgeous, of course, with his slim body that was toned and well defined the muscles in his arms were definite and the green undershirt he was wore was just tight enough to make a light sketch of his abs and stomach. His tattoo across his left bicep flexed as he noticed I saw him, watching me. His green eyes (I think they were green
) bore into my (e/c) ones. I had been the first to break out of the spell, shaking my head, going back to swaying with the crowd as another Beatles' hit was flung to the walls.
The concert had started at nine and lasted until three o'clock the next morning.
As I'd scrambled to get to bed, nearly 3:30 according to the red glow of my clock, I'd thought about the gorgeous, green-eyed man I'd seen, thinking I'd seen him somewhere before.
It had taken me the entire night to place the face of the blonde man who constantly swam through my thoughts, eager to be in my dreams he was the former bass guitarist of The Ugly Beavers. He supposedly "retired out of boredom due to lack of excitement," though no one believed that. I don't know how he "retired out of boredom" when he was on the front page of most national newspapers: Arthur Kirkland Throws Party, Guest Dies of Overdose; Ugly Beavers Do it Again: Hit Single for 23rd Week; and Inside Story on Arthur Kirkland: How to Go Goth in a Day.
I wonder what he was doing at the concert
Maybe he was giving Jim some pointers on the guitar, I'd thought. (It wasn't uncommon for former guitarists and singers to coach their replacements. At least in my mind it wasn't.)
After a sleepless night, I'd risen out of bed, groggily unaware that it was half-past noon. I'd walked to my kitchen, still in my night clothes, and poured myself a bowl of cereal.
When I'd reached into the Frigidaire for the milk, I suddenly had the feeling I was being watched.
A quick look around the kitchen confirmed my suspicion. There were curtains over the window above the sink. Between the crack of curtains and the window, a pair of ruby eyes had been watching me with my tangled (h/c) hair in my underclothes.
To "welcome" my guest, I'd pulled the curtains so no crack showed and yelled for them to go away: "Gilbert, what the hell? Go away!"
"I just came to say 'Guten tag,' _______."
Sure you did, creep.
Gilbert had moved from his previous position because there was a knock at the door.
"Nope. You're not getting in here after last time with Toni and Blondie."
"Come on, ______! Let ze awesome person in!"
"No, Gilbert! Piss off! Go bother someone else!" I'd yelled through the door, hoping I could knock some sense into his skull.
(Maybe I should explain a little
Last time Gil, Toni, and Francis were at my apartment, let's just say I couldn't get the smell of booze out of my house. I remember I had to place air-fresheners in every corner of my apartment and air it out for a week. Every once in a while, I swear I can still smell the sweat and alcohol when I'm doing chores around the house.
Gilbert had been quiet behind the door for more than two minutes, which was a first, when he finally broke the beautiful silence. "Vat if I brought you somevere, somevere you could meet Arzhur Kirkland und talk to him in person?"
That's what the silence was for; he was thinking of a bribe
But it's to meet Arthur Kirkland, not look at him from afar! Oh, what the hell? What's the worst that could happen? I'd thought nothing surprising or bad would come out of this meeting of one of my "heroes", but I couldn't have been more wrong.
To make myself not look so eager, I'd thought of Gil's previous visit to my house before I'd opened the door. "So?" I'd said as the door squeaked open.
"'So?' I zought he vas a hero of yours." Gilbert had raised a brow and crossed his arms.
"He was
" I'd leaned against the door frame, hoping to give my German neighbor the "even-if-hell-freezes-over-there's-still-no-way-your-coming-in-here" signal. "As of recent, I have a new hero. But I'm willing to meet him and talk," I'd agreed with a swish of my (h/c) hair.
"I knew you couldn't resist ze offer. Pick you up tomorrow at fünf? Und that's evening, sveetheart." The German had smirked as I had closed the door.
Well, this is going to be interesting, I'd thought.
Gilbert did what he'd promised and brought me to meet Arthur Kirkland, although he had a different appeal to me now that he was England, the country, in the flesh. It had taken a few slaps, given on my behalf, and some name-calling, but I'd finally felt satisfied and believed everything Gilbert told me.
We had still been in the car when the state of Brandenburg-Prussia sat back in his leather seat and crossed his arms.
"So, you're East Germany, Toni's Spain, and Blondie is France? Oh, and Arthur's England, who has three siblings: America, Canada, and France. Also, you have a brother, Ludwig, who's the personification of Germany
Did I miss anything?" I'd looked at Gil with my hand out.
"Nein. Sounds like you got everyzing. Let's have you meet your hero und ve'll see vat happens next, ja?"
(It was a little confusing for me at first, but I understood that I'd had a crush on the country of England since I'd turned fifteen over eight years ago. No wonder I recognized him at the Ugly Beavers concert.)
When the door had opened, I'd been introduced to a new environment that I can't quite say I enjoyed: a blonde with a scarf was asking a feminine-looking man if he wanted to "become One", Toni and a shorter brown-haired man were arguing over some country named Italy, and an annoyed looking Arthur was being harassed by Francis.
Another blonde, this one taller and blue-eyed, had slammed his hand on the table that everyone seemed to be sitting around. He'd yelled, "East, vat a pleasure it is for you to join us! Bitte, sit down, you dummkopf, or I vill start ze training again!"
Prussia, my "companion" for the time being, had rushed to a seat, as had the rest of the others that had been standing.
Of course, I stood there like an idiot. "Oh," I'd softly said, glancing around for an open seat.
"Zere is an empty chair by moi, ______," France had said, his brows slightly displaced as if to invite me over.
"Uh, no. I think I'll stand." I'd smirked as I'd walked over to the wall nearest the door Gil and I had come in.
My whole objective is to talk to Arthur! This isn't supposed to have anything to do with Francis or Toni.
As if reading my thoughts, Arthur had caught my eye while I'd been staring out the window of the three-story conference center. His thick eyebrows, piercings included, had risen in question.
I'd rolled my eyes and tuned out the blonde German, huffing as I'd rolled my eyes. (I could tell he was German because of his accent. That and he came to Gilbert's apartment every once in a while, so I assumed he was "West", Gilbert's brother.)
I'd stood for the first few hours, but my legs couldn't take it anymore. I'd sat in a chair one that I'd pulled from near Francis after the meeting had adjourned for a small restroom break. I'd sat in that chair 'til we were dismissed: the countries had claimed that sleep was more important than discussing tariffs.
So, as I'd made the tiring trek to the car, Arthur had stopped me on my way down the stairs:
"______, wait."
I'd slowly turned around, "Arthur?"
"II wanted to bloody say something before you left. I"
I'd shushed him by putting my finger to his lips. "I need to say something first. I've sorta had a crush on you since, oh, maybe eight years ago?" I'd looked up to the ceiling like I was trying to calculate the amount of time. "I'd wanted to speak to you before this," I'd talked faster as I continued, "but this was the only time I've had to courage to"
This time, Arthur had shut me up with a rather gentle kiss. It had been surprising, given his exterior.
When we'd pulled apart, I'd realized I didn't have to explain myself.
That realization was furthered when Arthur had said, "I know, love," before he'd kissed me again.
That's how Arthur and I officially met. We've been dating for over three years now and I know he still remembers that day.

Who We Are…
…is not as important as what we are doing and why we are doing it. There has been a concerted effort over the last two centuries to destroy the Indigenous American Native Religious Culture. It is sad enough that the lifestyle of living in harmony with Mother Earth and Father Sky by living a nomadic existence in order to not destroy the plants and animals, but harvest them with respect and moderation has been taken away, but the blessings of the Indigenous American Native Religious healing traditions (Oklevueha Native American Church) have been suppressed and taken to the verge of extinction. This Religious tradition uses plants and herbs along with ceremonies to heal body, mind and spirit and assist with the transitions of life that we all experience as opposed to most chemicals that create dependency, and technical approaches that invade and disrespect our very being.
In essence, all of us involved in this effort have spent our lives learning, teaching, assisting and sacrificing in order to preserve and share these healing traditions. Some of us have done so consciously, but many have been prepared by a higher power through the things we have experienced to see and understand the wisdom and blessings of the Indigenous American Native Religious Culture and what the whole world can receive from it if they only will.
Our world is facing extreme challenges. The culture of excess, extortion and willingness to destroy that which is eternal for that which is temporary is leading us down a path of destruction, not only of our economy and ecology but our spiritual nature and growth. There is another way – a truer way – a way of harmony, peace and building rather than destruction or management of damage.
All societies live with dichotomy and this struggle – whether to embrace light or darkness. The Indigenous American Native Religious cultures have always been diverse and there have been many tribes. While it is true that many of them at times chose war and violence, most lived peacefully unless threatened or put under extreme stress by incursions from outside their tribe. Over millennia, tribes from all over this hemisphere have learned and passed down ways of healing and empowering, understanding and living harmoniously and productively with themselves, others and nature. Our world needs the wisdom they have gained. Many Indigenous peoples do not want to share what they have learned because of the atrocities they have suffered at the hands of "civilized" people who have invaded, co-opted and destroyed the lands that sustained them. This is understandable. Here you will find those who wish to share and protect those understandings and natural medicines that can bless not only all the people of the world, but the world itself. We bring these things and offer them as a gift to all races and cultures in the hope that they can assist in healing our world and all our relations.
Our Indigenous American Native Religious Heritage:
The Indigenous American Native Religions have been practiced in North and South America since before recorded history by the Lakota Sioux and Seminole Religious Cultures (Oklevueha Native American Church). The fundamental premise of all indigenous spirituality is to honor and respect Grandmother Earth (Matriarchal), Grandfather Sky (Patriarchal) and all of their descendants. Oklevueha Native American Church holds special recognition of honor for our Courageous Ancestral Relatives.
Legally, the practicing of the Indigenous American Native indigenous Religion is called the Native American Church. When practiced outside the boundaries of Federally Recognized Indian Reservations, the government has recognized the Oklevueha Native American Church as the bona fide caretaker of these ceremonies and medicines. ONAC has been granted exclusive federal laws to recognize the spiritual ceremonies and to protect and maintain access to their sacred ceremonial grounds. American Native Spirituality has historically utilized Grandmother Earth's minerals and plants to commune with the spirit world to assist individuals in their healing and empowering ceremonies.
The Heart of Oklevueha
There are many who contribute to this effort, but there is one who is undeniably the person who has worked the hardest and sacrificed the most (along with his family) to bring these things forward and share them with all peoples. You can read the full story of James Warren (Flaming Eagle) Mooney here. In essence, as a young man he was lost and not even aware of his Indigenous American Native Religious heritage or his life mission. A series of events brought him to his culture and his destiny. Since being blessed and set apart by tribal leaders and medicine people from a number of tribes, he has spent much of his entire adult life working to bring these blessings to all cultures. In doing so, he has suffered incarceration, threats on his life and economic deprivation. He along with his family have paid a dear price for standing up and championing the effort to bless all people and offer these ceremonies and medicines to those who need them regardless of race, religion or culture. His wife is the Spirit and conscience of Oklevueha and is the only reason James has been able to continue in spite of the persecution and disruption they and their family have suffered through the years.
Together, they have surrounded themselves with people of like mind and heart with incredible talents and understandings. These people are working together, often as volunteers, to assist in the work of bringing these things forth and protecting those who choose this more peaceful, natural and non-destructive way of healing lives, families and relationships.
The Hands of Healing
Throughout the world, people of like mind are establishing branches of the Oklevueha Native American Church (ONAC). Each of these branches serve the people in their area by assisting them to have access to the plants, herbs and ceremonies they need to bless their lives. The specific sacraments and ceremonies offered in each branch are determined by the branch leaders depending on what is most needed. In the United States, these ceremonies and sacraments (plants and herbs) are protected by Constitutional Law from legal interference under the freedom of religion, even though many of those plants (peyote, cannabis, ayahuasca, etc.) have been controlled or made illegal to the general public by those who have desired the destruction of the indigenous culture and its blessings. These plants and herbs are uniformly not addictive and not harmful when used in ceremony and with wisdom.

I also have a Bersa Thunder .380 but it has a bugger of gun for a trigger. I passed my CCW with the Bersa though...the smaller the barrel, the more recoil so I heard.

According to the Hollywood Reporter on Monday, ABC's "The View" returned with its first live episode since news of Jenny McCarthy and Sherri Shepherd's departures. As soon as the show began, the moderator Whoopi Goldberg wasted no time addressing the "giant neon pink gorilla" in the room. Then Jenny teased the audience by saying that the rumors they had heard are not true. Then she set the record straight and said she and co-host Sherri really are leaving.
Jenny was first to make remarks. She thanked Barbara Walters and fans for their support for one year on the popular daytime talk show. She hinted that she has a job lined up that might be in competition with "The View." She teased the audience by saying, "After much consideration, I've taken a new job that will allow me to do what I do best, which is talk without having to interrupt anyone. I will be announcing it in the next few weeks and I couldn't be more grateful. Stay tuned, even if it does compete with 'The View.'"
Sherri followed with her own remarks which were more emotional than those of her co-host. Having spent seven years on the show, she said that the Bible speaks of seven as being the number of God's completion. She said her time has been completed on "The View." She indicated that executive producer Bill Geddie, the staff and people close to her have known about her decision since the spring, but she didn't discuss it because she didn't want anything to take the attention away from Barbara Walters' retirement celebrations.
Through sobs Sherri said she considered "The View" as her family. She even named former co-hosts Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Joy Bahar and her sisters for life. She mentioned Jenny and Whoopi as been part of her inner circle. She also said that she too had "exciting news" that she would be announcing in the future, adding that she'll promote her new gig on "The View" because Walters has taught her to promote her jobs. Sherri concluded her remarks sobbing and saying, "I love the cast and crew who took me in and made me feel like this is my family. I love you."

Cycling for the cause to raise awareness of Multiple Sclerosis (MS), 2014 MS Ambassador Elizabeth Sherman will Bike MS:Ride the Riverside at the National Harbor, 165 Waterfront St., National Harbor, this Saturday, June 7 and Sunday, June 8.
In honor of her upcoming 50th birthday, July 5, Sherman has decided to celebrate by cycling with Bike MS and raise money for the cause.
"Bike MS is important to me because it raises awareness about Multiple Sclerosis, but most importantly, it raises funds for MS research and other services that the National MS Society sponsors," explains Sherman.
The I Ride with MS program is a series sponsored by bio-technology company Genzyme, which develops therapies for patients with rare and special unmet needs, and the MS One to One membership organization, designed specifically to assist people with the challenges of living with multiple sclerosis.
Sherman joined the I Ride with MS program last October in New York City, in a 30-mile ride around Manhattan.
"I completed it faster than I thought I was going to be able to, and finished the ride. The weather was perfect and it was just an amazing experience," says Sherman.
She completed the race in a little over two and half hours.
Although Sherman says she is well now, she does admit that she does experience periodic relapses which include weakness in her hands and legs.
"MS impacts so many people differently. There are people who are really impacted by multiple sclerosis from diminished mobility in their arms and legs, to loss of vision," she emphasizes.
During the ride this weekend Sherman, her team and other participants will receive special honors and/or recognition.
"I would just like to encourage everybody to come out this weekend, Saturday and Sunday. The ride leaves out from the National Harbor. Come join us, cheer us on and help us raise money for MS research,"she says.
For more information about the Bike MS:Ride the Riverside event and the I Ride with MS program, visit the National MS Society's website.
To hear more about Elizabeth Sherman's MS journey listen to her recent PIH radio interview on Partners in Health and Biz this Saturday, June 7, at 9 a.m.

text: May 13, 2013 10:14 Sinkhole berm repairs planned Sinkhole berm repairs planned Ryan Broussard| Advocate staff writer Comments Texas Brine Co. management said Saturday that weather and conditions permitting, the company plans to begin work Monday on temporary repairs to the two remaining breaches in the earthen berm surrounding the Assumption Parish sinkhole. "We're just waiting for the water to recede so we can get back in there," Texas Brine spokesman Sonny Cranch said. Heavy rains Thursday night and Friday morning caused floodwater to build up in the swamplands surrounding the 71-acre area that the berm, or levee, encompasses. The flood burst through five breaches in the low and incomplete sections of the western and southwestern segments of the berm, a type of earthen levee, pushing 3 feet of water into the walled-off area, overtopping the 15.1-acre sinkhole containing brine and crude oil. Texas Brine contractors patched up the three smaller breaches with clay Friday, but they were unable to reach the larger two because crews did not want to further damage what already had been built, Cranch said. Another round of rain Saturday morning delayed work once again because, as of Saturday afternoon, much of the western and southwestern berms were underwater. Cranch said workers may not have been able to work on fixing the breaches anyway Saturday because a lot of water remained from heavy thunderstorms earlier in the week. The berm remains under construction and if the project had been closer to completion, the rain and high water might not have been such a serious problem, Cranch said. Oil-retardant boom has been deployed in the sinkhole since it formed in an attempt to block any flow of the sinkhole's oily contents into the freshwater swamps surrounding the sinkhole between Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou. Extra boom has been placed inside the berm, near the breaches, as a precautionary measure, Cranch said. John Boudreaux, director of the Assumption Parish Office of Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness, said Saturday he is worried about the largest breach because it lies outside the containment area, unlike the second-largest breach, which is within the additional western berm extension that has been constructed. "The water is basically stationary now," Boudreaux said. "Without any flow, I don't think any contaminants would get off site, but if the water starts dropping for whatever reason, then they don't want any water flowing out. That's when they would need to have those repairs done." He said the water level should not begin dropping until the end of next week. Officials said Friday that the two large breaches were about 75 feet wide and 30 feet wide, respectively. Boudreaux said he could not tell if the openings in the berm had grown larger by Saturday afternoon because that area remained underwater. The breaches occurred in the vicinity of prior subsidence problems that caused Texas Brine to take corrective action by extending the berm to contain the low areas. The Louisiana Office of Conservation ordered Texas Brine to build the berm to contain brine and oil in the sinkhole and protect the surrounding swamps. Scientists believe an underground Texas Brine salt dome cavern failed and caused the sinkhole to emerge by Aug. 3, prompting an evacuation of residents in Bayou Corne and Grand Bayou.
