This article was inspired by the recent events that took place in Haiti. Please pray for the people of Haiti and make sure and Donate to a Charity of your choice!
A new year means time for a shoe overhaul!
So you're wondering what you should do with your old shoes; well then why not donate them to a charity of your choice. Many people around the world do not have shoes because to them shoes are a luxury and food is a necessity. So given the choice between the two the most obvious one would be food. This is why donating is a great way to help people in need. There are so many Charities that accept old and new shoe donations. One charity that accepts shoe donations is Donate your old shoes . org. Their mission is to put shoes on the most in need worldwide. All you have to do is place your shoes in a box and send it in. For more information of this charity visit http://donateyouroldshoes.org/.
Cash donations is another way to donate to a charity. Charities prefer cash donations because cash donations make it easier for a charity to be able to provide more services to the people in need. Some people require special shoes due an injury or birth defect so cash donations can help the charity purchase those shoes. If you are interesting in donating cash you can visit anyone of the following charities: American Red Cross, Catholic Charities, Salvation Army, Goodwill and Yele.
Note: if you are planning on donating to a charity, please make sure you are donating to a legitimate charity. There are a lot of scams out there especially due to the recent events in Haiti. For more information regarding the legitimacy of charities please the Better Business Bureau. http://www.bbb.org/us/charity/.

Marilyn Monroe has a wine named after her, Shirley Temple a mocktail. It's about time the ultimate movie cowboy had a whiskey in his name. Fortunately, that gap in the Icon Drinktionary has been filled, with the launch of "The Duke" Kentucky Straight Bourbon, a whiskey paying tribute to John Wayne.
"When I took over the estate in 2003, I looked over the products for sale that were representing my dad," says Ethan Wayne, son of The Duke. "It was kind of the acceptable, Franklin Mint sort of things used for any sort of icon or celebrity. But there was nothing in the myx that my father would have loved in his own life."
Ethan Wayne says he looked for items that might reflect Wayne's on-screen masculinity or his off-screen jovial nature: items crafted in leather, collectible pocketknives and… whiskey.
"When you live on location in Mexico for three months at a time or on your boat in Alaska, you end up loving certain things from that time period: a pair of shoes or a shirt," explains Ethan. "Our life was like that all the time—traveling. One thing dad did was he liked to have a drink. At dinner or with his buddies." According to Ethan, bourbon and tequila were John Wayne's go-tos, and he left enough of both (along with years of correspondence revealing his positive attitude towards life) to give Ethan and his business partners a sense of what he preferred in a whiskey.
Ethan Wayne teamed with Jayson Woodbridge and Chris Radomski of Monument Valley Distillers, a California company producing small batch wines, bourbons and brandies. They sourced the style of bourbon they wanted, aged in heavily charred new American oak. The custom bottles feature a steel gray label with a classic image of Wayne in full cowboy mode.
On the nose, it is, in fact, a classic bourbon with an old-school sensibility. Wood, vanilla, caramel and heat all dance through your olfactory glands.
On the mouth, it's bracing (at 88 proof), with that sort of smooth / bold character you could see Wayne and Robert Mitchum hissing at through their teeth while slamming down the empty shot glass. Notes of slate, oak, vanilla, tobacco and ripe apple dominate. The finish is long and restorative. It's time to head back out on the plains, or pick up the old guitar.
As you sip, your glass cries out to be picked up again. Fans of Jim Beam or Old Crow will appreciate its no-frills approach to whiskey. As a gift to dads and grandads everywhere who still hold The Duke in high regard, it's perfect, because it looks badass and tastes like it should.
"My partner is one of the top wine makers in the world," says Radomski of Woodbridge. "Just as Ethan didn't want to work with someone unless they could build the right dream, we didn't want to simply make a vanity whiskey and slap a celebrity label on it. I felt like there was skepticism about the product in sales meetings. But the minute we open the bottle and they taste it, the skepticism vanishes."
The Duke Kentucky Straight Bourbon has an ABV of 44% and an SRP of $35.

The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the prevalence of adverse stress reactions in different areas of Hat Yai during the year immediately following a major natural disaster—the flood of 2000. Samples of around l00 residents of each of four areas exposed to different degrees of severity of the stressors caused by the flood were followed-up at 8 to l0 week intervals. When first interviewed on entry into the study, the respondents were invited to complete a structured questionnaire that sought information on their personal characteristics, data on the various flood-related stressors to which they were exposed, and their responses to these stressors. They also completed a Thai version of the 12-item General Health Questionnaire and the Impact of Events Scale at each of the five data collection times. There was a gradual decline in the scores on these instruments over the l2 month period but, on the anniversary of the flood, there was an increase in scores among residents confined to those areas of Hat Yai where the risk and/or consequences of severe flooding was highest and where rescue work was most difficult. This is considered to be the first epidemiological study of a major civilian disaster that has demonstrated an increase in prevalence of stress-related symptoms as an anniversary reaction within a community.

|Outside Receivers
|Memphis, Tenn.
|Alma Mater:
|2 Years
Dennis Simmons, who spent 10 seasons at Texas Tech under head coach Mike Leach, returned to a familiar role as Leach's outside wide receivers coach prior to the 2012 season and begins his third year at Washington State University.
Last season, Simmons saw the Cougars catch the most passes in Pac-12 single-season history and quarterback Connor Halliday tie the school's single-season record with 34 touchdowns passes while the air raid produced the nation's fourth-best passing attack. For the second straight season, Simmons had a number of receivers contribute with 10-plus receivers catching a pass in game 11 times last year. Simmons also saw his outside receivers lead the Cougars in touchdown catches after Gabe Marks, Dom Williams and Vince Mayle each caught seven touchdowns.
In 2012 Cougar receivers posted the second-most receiving yards in school history (3,965). The Cougar offense threw for 330 yards per game, ninth nationally, with four of the top five receivers being underclassmen, including three freshmen.
Prior to WSU, Simmons had served two seasons as East Carolina's outside receivers coach. Simmons' impact on the Pirates' offensive unit quickly became visible through the play of newcomer Lance Lewis in 2010. Lewis became only the third ECU pass-catcher in school history to reach the 1,000-yard milestone. The big-play, All-Conference USA performer contributed 89 receptions for 1,116 yards and topped the unit with 14 touchdowns, while also standing among the nation's Top 20 in receptions per game (12th), total reception yards (16th) and receiving yards per game (20th). In 2011 Simmons' coached a pair of receivers, Lewis and Justin Hardy, who ranked among the Top 10 in Conference USA.
At Texas Tech, his wide receivers' coaching appointment in 2008 followed a two-year stint as Leach's chief of staff from 2005 to 2007.
After accepting the Red Raiders' on-the-field assignment, Simmons stepped into a vital role on the offensive side and inherited the nation's leading receiver and Biletnikoff Award winner Michael Crabtree.
Crabtree repeated as Biletnikoff winner under Simmons' watch and was a consensus All-America choice for the second-straight season. Crabtree, only a redshirt sophomore in 2008, was drafted No. 10 overall in the 2009 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.
Simmons' '08 group, led by Crabtree's 97 receptions, 1,165 yards and 19 touchdowns, accounted for 31 of the team's 47 receiving touchdowns. The 31 scores by the wide receivers alone were more than 107 Division I teams' total receiving touchdowns a year earlier.
In 2009, he, along with inside receivers coach Lincoln Riley, transformed walk-on Alex Torres into a Freshman All-America selection after a team-leading 67-catch, 806-yard, six-touchdown performance.
A former three-year starter at Brigham Young University, Simmons initially arrived at Texas Tech as the assistant athletics director/quality control for the football program.
Simmons' previous responsibilities included scheduling, coordinating recruiting visits and spearheading the Texas Tech Football Camps. He also handled player personnel issues and ran the Texas Tech Football Outreach Program and community service initiatives. Simmons remained as the staff huddle leader for the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter and served as the academic liaison after returning to the field.
Additionally, Simmons was involved on campus with President's Select, the Saddle Tramps, Goin' Band from Raiderland and spirit squads when it pertained to recruiting, and also served on the Student-Athlete Opportunity Fund Board.
Simmons came to Texas Tech from Cornell University, where he coached the running backs and was assistant athletics director and chief of staff. Prior to Cornell, he served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, BYU, in 1997, working with the offensive line and special teams.
Simmons graduated from BYU in December 1996 with a bachelor of arts degree in broadcast communications. Twice named to the dean's list, Simmons earned four letters and was a three-year starter at outside linebacker. He helped the Cougars win four-straight Western Athletic Conference titles and was a part of four bowl games, including the Cotton Bowl, Copper Bowl, Holiday Bowl and Aloha Bowl.
A native of Memphis, Tenn., Simmons earned his master's degree in educational leadership in August 1999 from BYU. He served as an NFL Minority Fellowship intern with the Buffalo Bills during the summer of 1999.
Simmons and his wife, LaTosha, were married in 2012. He has one daughter, Kendyll and they have one son, Kannon.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – This weekend the Mississippi State track and field team hits the road bound again for Southeastern Conference territory as the Bulldogs travel to Baton Rouge for the Battle on the Bayou.
Hosted by LSU, the meet will feature four women's teams and five men's teams as action is also seen from Arizona State, Connecticut and Penn State. The Lady Tigers are ranked No. 5 nationally in the latest U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Computer Poll, while the Arizona State women are ranked No. 8. The Penn State and MSU women both have yet to crack the Top 25.
On the men's side, the Maroon and White enter the meet ranked 13th in the country and will compete against the No. 10 Tigers, No. 17 Sun Devils, No. 11 Nittany Lions and the unranked Huskies.
"We are really looking forward to Saturday," MSU coach Steve Dudley said. "LSU does a wonderful job hosting one of the nation's strongest scored meets. There will be a lot of great talent competing this weekend, and we are ready for the challenge."
MSU will arrive in Baton Rouge boasting some of the country's top athletes. Sophomore Erica Bougard ranks fifth in the NCCA heptathlon competition, after setting a personal record of 5,649 points at the Texas Relays last month. Meanwhile, junior Marcus Jackson is the second-ranked high jumper in the NCAA. This season he holds a best clearance of 7-05.25, following his personal-best jump of 7-06 at NCAA Indoors in March.
On the track, veteran sprinters pace the Bulldogs. Seniors Nathan Arnett and Daundre Barnaby rank among the Top 15 performers nationally in their individual events, while MSU's 4x400-meter relay team claims the fifth-best time in the country at 3:05.35.
Competition on Saturday is set to begin at 10 a.m. with the women's javelin. All running events will be under way at 1:45 p.m., starting with the 4x100-meter relays and concluding at 4 p.m. with the 4x400-meter relays.

ENTERPRISE – West Union lost in the state finals in 2011 and last year in fast pitch softball.
Three players – all seniors – who have been a part of those two teams, return for one last opportunity to bring home a state championship trophy.
"The three seniors coming back are the team leaders," Lady Eagles coach Lisa Bogue said. "We would love to survive, advance and go back (to Ridgeland)."
The seniors returning from last season's team that lost in the 1A finals to Nanih Waiya are catcher Bailey Bogue (.469 batting average, 29 RBI), the coach's daughter; first baseman Julianna Garner (.460 avg.) and pitcher Brittany Taylor (18-3, 0.85 ERA).
"Bailey's vocal, she doesn't mind getting bossy," Bogue said. "She does a really good job working with the pitcher."
Garner not only produces with the bat, but is one of the team's best defenders.
"She's unbelievable on defense," Bogue said. "She's made so many saves at first. She's spoiled us. She's like 'You get it close and I got your back.'''
Taylor returns for her second season as a starter in the circle.
"The thing about her is she doesn't dwell on a pitch that doesn't get called or a ball dropped in the outfield," Bogue said. "She's strong mentally. She's also got quite an arsenal with a fastball, change-up, curve and screwball. She also has a rise and a drop."
West Union lost three starters from a team that defeated power Smithville in last season's state semifinals.
"Early in the season we're going to switch some players around, get things nailed down," Bogue said. "My players are used to me shifting them around. I want them all to get some time playing different positions. That way if somebody gets hurt they're not freaking out about playing a new position."
Bogue says the series win against Smithville was huge for her program. "It let us know that we're a solid team," she said.

57-year-old Elvin Dooley of unincorporated Lake County was arrested Friday, January 29th and charged with aggravated cruelty to animals. Dooley is the alleged gunman in the shooting death of a dog that Save-A-Pet employees had been trying to save on Tuesday, January 26th.
Early Saturday morning the Lake County Sherriff's Office announced that Dooley was also being charged with two felony counts of unlawful possession of a weapon by a felon, and one count of misdemeanor possession of a firearm without a FOID card.
According to a Lake County Jail corrections officer, Dooley appeared at a bond hearing for the new charges on Saturday and was ordered held on $400,000. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for today, February 4th.
Dooley has apparently been cooperative during the investigation, giving police written permission to search his home. Authorities confiscated 21 firearms and 6,000 rounds of ammunition during their search.

But you know that this is not factually correct? From the Bureau of Labor Statistics for June 2014 — www.bls.gov/web/laus/laumstrk.htm — Louisiana is 15th lowest at 5.0 percent. The lowest was North Dakota with 2.7 percent, and the highest was Rhode Island at 7.9 percent.

Zack's Kernel News
Kernel News
Chronicler Zack Brown reports on the latest news, views, dilemmas, and developments within the Linux kernel community.
Perl Dependencies
Rob Landley has not had much luck with his patches to remove Perl as a kernel build dependency. As he pointed out recently, the 2.6.25 Linux kernel added some Perl scripts to the build system. This means that anyone wanting to compile Linux since version 2.6.25, would have to have Perl installed on their system. Before the 2.6.25 kernel, that was never required. Rob's patches replaced the Perl scripts with simple Unix shell scripts. But – as he said in his email – he's posted these same patches over and over, and they've never been picked up.
Andrew Morton wrote back, saying he didn't see why a Perl dependency would be a problem for anyone. He pointed out that any decision to remove Perl dependencies would also necessarily include a commitment to remove all *future* Perl dependencies, which might take a bit of work and diligence. He asked what Rob's overall reasoning was for these patches.

Walmart starts stocking iPhone 4
Apple's iPhone 4 will be launched in the US and a few other markets on June 24 (this Thursday). If you're wondering where in the US you will be able to find it besides AT&T and Apple stores, one of the answers includes Walmart.
According to Engadget, the American retailer has already received some iPhone 4 units.
The photo below, showing an iPhone 4 box, was allegedly taken in a Walmart store. And, although Verizon might get the new iPhone later this year, that box seen in the back, with CDMA written on it, has nothing to do with Apple's smartphone (it packs LG C290C phones).
Earlier this month, Apple announced that more than 600,000 iPhone 4s were preordered in the first day. Since then, he number of preorders has most likely surpassed 1 million. Now we can only hope that the first launch day won't be as messy as the first pre-order day.

For a second day, rain, thundershowers and clouds around the Kennedy Space Center in Florida caused flight controllers to wave off Tuesday's opportunities to bring Endeavour and its crew home.
Similar weather Monday resulted in a wave-off of those landing opportunities. Wednesday offers two landing opportunities at KSC and three at Edwards Air Force Base in California. Forecasters are predicting improving weather at both sites. Endeavour has enough consumables on board to remain in orbit until Thursday.
The first of the KSC landing attempts would begin with a deorbit burn at 8:44 a.m. and a landing at 9:53 a.m. CDT (10:53 a.m. EDT.) A second opportunity for a Florida landing would see the deorbit burn at 10:19 a.m. and a landing at 11:27 a.m. CDT (12:27 p.m. EDT.)
The first of the three subsequent opportunities at Edwards would begin with a deorbit burn at 11:50 a.m. and a landing at 12:58 p.m. CDT (10:58 a.m. PDT). The deorbit burn for the second attempt would be at 1:27 p.m. and a landing at 2:33 p.m. CDT (12:33 p.m. PDT). The third opportunity would see a deorbit burn at 3:06 p.m. and a landing at 4:11 p.m. CDT (2:11 p.m. PDT).
All continues to go smoothly aboard the International Space Station in the early days of Expedition 5's residency. Commander Valery Korzun, and Flight Engineers Peggy Whitson and Sergei Treschev are activating equipment, initiating scientific experiments and getting used to the space station environment and routines.

How to Avoid Problems While Moving
Written by Your 5News Team
Last updated on May 08, 2013 @ 7:19PM
Created on May 08, 2013 @ 6:37PM
May is the most popular time of the year for people to move. Between packing, signing contracts and spending money, there are plenty of reasons to stress. To make sure you don't skip over anything when you're going through the moving process, we talked to an expert today to help you figure out your legal rights when it comes.
Larry Bodine said 40 million people move every year and one out of five people suffer from moving damages. He said you should get zero deductible property damage insurance to make sure you don't have any problems.
Most properties have insurance but it's recommended to get a separate kind. He also told 5 News every landlord is different, so you need to make sure you know the rules of the area.
"What I would recommend is to look in the local ordinances of the town that they live in because landlords frequently take advantage of tenants and these ordinances are going to contain a lot of tenant right provisions," said Bodine.
Sometimes people have trouble getting their deposits back. Landlords said it's because the tenant does something illegal, damage the property or break the lease. But a lot of times there is no paperwork to back that up, causing people on both sides to have problems.
When you move into a new area make sure you read every detail in any type of paperwork you have. Scams are big issue too, so that's another reason you should have everything written out.

Have logged in yet this month and the News tab? There's a really cute Valentine's Day pun concerning the February 2014 Seal o' Piracy, where they represent this month's goals a motto on a conversation heart: "I DIG U". Get it? Because you earn this month's limited edition trophy by...
Completing 1 buried treasure expedition
Isn't that just precious?
It's also fairly easy. In 30 days of... well, 23 days now, since today's the 5th. OK. In 23 days of pillaging, the odds are good you'll snag a buried treasure map off some unfortunate brigand or barbarian ship. Probably those odds are better than at your Ocean's nearest Black Market, where laying down 10,000 pieces of eight for a black box nets you a 16% chance of containing any expedition map at all.
You can also haunt the Voyages tab watching for a pillaging job offer that specifies expeditions. Sometimes officers will start their voyage with several expedition maps, and they're happy to advertise.
Speaking of Valentine's Day, today's update to the YPP client changed out the seasonal content at the furnisher's and the Palace Shoppe. In addition to special Valentine's Day content, there's also seasonal trinkets, gifts, greeting cards and furniture items celebrating Chinese New Year. As of this writing, Yppedia does not yet have the full list of available items, so you'll want to log in and check out the inventory yourself.

Splatter: Blood Red Edition is a rerelease of "Splatter" a top down zombie shooter. Games like Dead Nation created a lot of hype for the zombie killing genre of gaming, but Splatter does something new with zombies. Throws them into a pseudo-noir universe. You don't see many games like this in terms of atmosphere these days and I find it refreshing with zombies. The game has it's issues but the final product is rather solid.
Max discovers the world as he knows it has fallen, and it is overrun with monsters that stop at nothing to kill anything that moves. He realizes there is nothing left for him in this world so he sets off to find out just what exactly happened.
Splatter is a game that has a surprising story. You rarely expect a top down shooter to have something to offer in this regard. Especially since the zombie genre is riddled with asshole NPCs and supporting characters, it is shocking to see survivors part with ammo, weapons, health etc despite not having much themselves. The story shows the good side of humanity as opposed to the bad side. I thought I had seen it all with zombie stories, I am happy to say I was proven wrong.
The combat is pretty straightforward, you have guns, you shoot zombies, you get to the end of the level. A mechanic that is fun to mess with is the flares. Instead of being attracted to these items, zombies are afraid of the harsh light. By using these you can fend off massive hordes without endangering yourself too much.
As you progress through the 16 story oriented levels you will come across money, guess what you use this for? Upgrades. All of your weapons can be upgrades and it shows. Sure the picture changes, but the way the gun behaves is also noticeable. When you upgrade the pistol once or twice you notice how much better it is. The same goes for all the weapons, which are rather conventional. Every weapon has their own level of CC and kill potential. Every gun except the pistol has ammo, so the level of ammunition management is present.
My current issue with Splatter: Blood Red Edition is the visuals. While the cutscenes have a cool black and white realism mixed wit a comic book presentation, the in game visuals are sort of sloppy. When you kill hordes of zombies, it looks like a huddled mess of reds and greens. I understand it is supposed to look gross, but it doesn't blend well enough for it to look cool. The level design is rather good and there are some secret rooms that reward you with varying trinkets and goodies.
In addition to the story mode there is Co-Op, PvP, and an Arcade mode so the replay value in this regard is rather high. The game is somewhat challenging to look at though. I appreciate the new story elements to the zombie killing genre and the combat itself flows really well. I give Splatter: Blood Red Edition a 7/10. You can pick it up on Steam now.

Finger Lakes Community College will begin a nine-month paramedic academy in September 2012 to enable students to complete training more rapidly and help meet the need for emergency workers.
"We've had several requests to do this over the years," said Donna Spink, FLCC coordinator of emergency medical services.
FLCC's current paramedic certificate program consists of evening classes held over 17 months, from January through May of the next year.
The new paramedic academy would run from September 2012 through May 2013; classes would initially be held Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Over time, class days drop from three days per week to two and then one as students switch focus to clinical practice. All classes are held at the FLCC Geneva Campus Center at 63 Pulteney St.
Those who enroll in the paramedic academy would be considered full-time FLCC students and qualify for financial aid.
The program prepares students for the state Department of Health exam they must pass to work in the field. Credits can also be applied toward FLCC's two-year paramedic degree.
To be eligible for the program, students must be a New York state certified emergency medical technician and meet the general requirements for enrollment to FLCC. Tuition is the equivalent of one year at FLCC, currently $3,484, plus fees. The application deadline is June 1.
For more information or to register, contact Donna Spink at (315) 789-0108 or email@example.com.

Intercultural Experience in Social Inequality
Students from Sterling College spent two weeks of Interterm traveling throughout Honduras to study social inequality under the direction of Professor of Psychology Dr. Arn Froese. Students visited San Pedro Sula, Santa Cruz de Yojoa, and Copan Ruinas on their quest to gain an understanding of the extreme economic diversity within the country.
Currently, Honduras is the second poorest country in Central America and suffers from underemployment.
Students began their journey in San Pedro Sula, where they visited a museum, market, and church to learn about the culture. They also met with Sterling College alumnus Jorge Bueso '08 to learn about more about workplace conditions and employment in the middle class. Bueso is a professionally employed market researcher who makes less than one-third of what he could make working a similar job in the U.S. Along with the low wages, his job expects him to work many hours of overtime without additional pay.
Next, they traveled to a peasant community near Santa Cruz de Yojoa, where children begin farming as early as age 10. At the farm they witnessed extreme poverty. Froese said, "Members of one cooperative group were working to recover land that had been taken from them over 20 years ago. They currently farm the land, but are in a legal battle against former landowners. Because they have no running water on their property and because their land holdings are not yet secure, they live in small shacks and carry their water uphill."
Senior Adedrea Smart said, "No single farming family could make enough to live off of alone, so as a union, they pool the income produced from the land divide it equally. It is the only way for those who work the land to make ends meet."
"Former presidents of Honduras and investors from other countries focused on the vast resources of gold, silver and tropical fruits available for exporting to build their wealth," said Froese. "They have exploited the workers creating a country of extreme wealth and poverty."
When students were not discussing economics, they helped build a church, played soccer with the kids, visited a rain forest, toured the Mayan ruins in Copan Ruinas, and attended a church service.

The documentation on the "Emulating numeric types" page doesn't mention this peculiar exclusion. Of the reflected operators it says: "These methods are called to implement the binary arithmetic operations (+, -, *, /, %, divmod(), pow(), **, <<, >>, &, ^, |) with reflected (swapped) operands. These functions are only called if the left operand does not support the corresponding operation. For instance, to evaluate the expression x-y, where y is an instance of a class that has an __rsub__() method,(Continue reading)

2012 WHL DRAFT PROFILE - MATTHEW BARZALWed May 2
Leading up to the 2012 WHL Draft on May 3, 2012 in Calgary, Alberta, the WHL will feature one-on-one interviews with top bantam age prospects. This week we feature Mathew Barzal, a forward with the Burnaby Winter Club Bantamm 'AAA' team.
2012 WHL Draft Profile – Mathew Barzal, Burnaby Winter Club Bantam AAA, Forward, #97
What do you enjoy most about hockey?
I love competing against other kids, and I just love playing the game.
How would you describe yourself as a hockey player?
I like to think I'm pretty smart on the ice. I try to make players around me better, and just do what I can for my team.
What hockey player do you look up to the most?
I would probably have to say Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Him being from Burnaby, I've met him a few times, he seems like a really nice guy, and what he is doing right now is just unbelievable, so I definitely look up to him.
What hockey player do you hope to play like one day?
I'd probably have to say Ryan Nugent-Hopkins again. He's so talented, he's smart on the ice, he makes other players around him better, he sets them up. So, if there is one player I could see myself as it would be him.
What are you goals in hockey?
This year, I would have to say winning the Western Canadians (Western Canada Bantam Championships, Spruce Grove, AB, April 5-8, 2012) doing everything for my team that I can. But long term, obviously to play in the NHL, and to do it not because of anything else, but because I love it.
What school are you currently attending? What is your favourite school subject?
Dr. Charles Best in Coquitlam. I'd have to say math.
What hobbies do you have outside of hockey?
I like to golf a lot in the summer, and I love to play ping pong as well. I play at the Vancouver Golf Club most of the time.
What is your nickname?
Probably Barzy, or Matty
What is your most cherished hockey memory?
I'd have to say winning the Western Canadians. You know, that was just such a big moment for everyone, and doing it the way we did it (OT victory vs. the Winnipeg Hawks, in Winnipeg, MB) with a bunch of guys that everybody liked, you couldn't have asked for it any other way.
What do you think will be the next big hockey moment in your life?
Short term, I would like to hope to win the Western Canadians again this year. It's another bunch of guys I really enjoy to play with. And long term, I'd have to say playing in the NHL would be one for sure.

Reviews for Simply-a-Must Dinner Rolls
"This recipe is a keeper. I do this in my bread machine. Thank You for sharing ! Rockland Baker"
"Experimented with this recipe before Thanksgiving among others and it was the winner. Did cut back a touch on the sugar. Split into fourths to roll out and my family has devoured every batch!"
"These were good. I used a little too much sugar in this recipe, but otherwise they turned out fantastic. I can't wait for another dinner where I can make these as a side."
"This was a fantastic recipe. I let them rise a little billte longer, used 1/2 cup of butter instead of oil and bushed with butter before placing in the over.They are GREAT!!!!!"
"At what point should the rolls be frozen? Should I bake all rolls as directed or freeze the dough after dividing onto thirds? We baked 1/3 of the dough and froze the other 2/3rds."

Top U.S. trading partners in 2004
January 05, 2006
In recent years, countries such as China and Mexico have emerged as important trading partners with the U.S.
Imports from China have grown 665 percent since 1992. Imports from Mexico have grown 343 percent over the same period.
The U.S. is the world's largest market for exporting countries. In 2004, it imported more than $1.3 trillion worth of merchandise. Of the total 2004 U.S. imports, half came from the four top trading partners: Canada (17 percent), China (13 percent), Mexico (11 percent), and Japan (9 percent).
These data are from the BLS International Price program. For more information, see "IPP introduces additional Locality of Origin import price indexes," by Helen McCulley and Melissa Schwartz, Monthly Labor Review, December 2005.

As of Saturday the search for Nicole Laube's killer continues, but detectives don't have any new clues behind the tragic murder of the pastor's daughter, wife and mother. This news report shares some new details, however, but the details only create more questions than answers. Detectives believe that the woman was not a victim of a random attack. She had been working at the apartment complex where she was murdered for about a month, and was handing out flyers when she was attacked. Police say that she was "singled out," but why?
Laube was reportedly very friendly, and had no known enemies. She was married, and reports do not indicate that she had a troubled marriage. The wife and mother was the daughter of a pastor, and didn't live a high risk lifestyle, as far as reports indicate. There are some other details that could lend a possible theory to what happened. You see, Laube trained in physical strength and bodybuilding competitions in Beaverton, Oregon-- and police have been interviewing people who have been acquainted with her through this competitive hobby. Is it possible that she had made some kind of enemy through this, or even a jealous rival? Who would stand to gain from stabbing Nicole Laube to death?
Hopefully more details come out soon in this case, such as whether or not detectives have cleared or eliminated anyone near the slain woman -- such as any former or current lovers, or her husband. Even neighbors and coworkers could be put under the scope of police scrutiny until some answers are had in this mysterious homicide of a beautiful, friendly family woman.

A huge fiberglass ark sits at the center of a Hong Kong Noah's Ark attraction, and another floating ark in the Netherlands is being built by a Dutch man, who wants to sail it to London for the 2012 Olympic games. Closer to home, a church in Frostburg, Md., is building a to-scale ark supported by a steel frame.
But attractions with religious themes can be a risky venture, according to an amusement park expert.
"In some ways it's a two-edged sword: If you go for the religious market, you already have something that is somewhat unique in the market, and that particular market is known to be willing to make a special effort, to drive an extra distance, to get the church groups to go out and make a special outing," said John Gerner, managing director of Leisure Business Advisors of Richmond, Va.
"The problem with that approach is you always risk bordering on being disrespectful if not sacrilegious," Gerner said. "There is a line as far as what you can do in this approach."
Some in the state hope it will be a major attraction. A feasibility study on the Ark Encounter declared that the park would attract 1.6 million visitors in its first year, Zovath said. The smaller Creation Museum has attracted well over a million people since it opened four years ago.
State officials are banking on the park's success and the 900 jobs it is expected to create, by making the project eligible for more than $40 million in sales tax rebates if the Ark Encounter hits its attendance marks.
Tying state incentives to a religious theme park has also attracted some criticism, though notably less than The Creation Museum, which received no state support. That facility was built on private donations.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State, a Washington-based group, has said the park would run afoul of constitutional law.
"Noah didn't get government help when he built the first ark, and the fundamentalist ministry behind the Kentucky replica shouldn't either," the group said in a statement. But so far they have taken no legal action. Kagin said challenging the project in court would likely be a losing battle because of the way the tax incentives are structured.
"The legislation is so drafted that they will give this incentive to any organization that is going to increase tourism in Kentucky," Kagin said. "And there's no question whatsoever that this group will."
Zovath said construction on the ark is expected to begin in the spring

In an effort to expand the sport of canoeing to include paddlers of different abilities, the International Canoe Federation (ICF) and the International Va'a Federation (IVF) launched the Paracanoe Development Program.
"Paracanoe gives opportunities for paddlers with physical disabilities to participate and compete at club, national and international level. Working on the development of the sport for over four years, the Canoeing For All Committee, has improved and expanded the sport manifold and we see more and more athletes competing and enjoying Paracanoe around the world."
Formerly known as "paddleability," both the ICF and the IVF adopted "The new name of paracanoe was officially adopted in December of 2009 in order to align the sport with the Paralympic movement."
In 2010, "The ICF and IVF further demonstrated their support for paracanoe by incorporating a number of events into their calendars, as well as providing support through the provisions of suitable crafts and through the training of classifiers."
At an international level, "Paracanoe will make its inaugural appearance at the 2016 Rio Paralympics and it is expected that this will lead to an increase in interest in the sport worldwide, as well as additional funding to support it to develop and expand.

When Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) held its annual iPhone product launch last September, it did something that it had never done before. Instead of making the prior-generation iPhone 5 available at a $100 discount to the new iPhone 5s, it discontinued the iPhone 5 and in its place launched the iPhone 5c. Will Apple do the same thing this year, or will the iPhone 5s continue on as the "cheap" iPhone?
What Apple is likely to do
Looking at Apple's product stack today, you'll see that it consists of the following:
- iPhone 4s (8GB) – free with contract.
- iPhone 5c – starts at $99 with contract
- iPhone 5s – starts at $199 with contract
With Apple allegedly planning to launch two iPhone models – the 4.7-inch iPhone 5s replacement and the 5.5-inch model that will presumably sit atop the 4.7-inch model in the pricing stack – the lineup could look as follows:
- iPhone 5c – free with contract
- iPhone 5s – starts at $99 with contract
- iPhone 6 – starts at $199 with contract
- iPhone 6L (the "L" stands for "Large") – starts at $299 with contract
With this product lineup, Apple addresses the full spectrum of smartphone users. Want a premium 4.7-inch handset? Apple's got it. Want a "phablet"? Apple's got that too. Prefer a smaller – but still high-quality – smartphone? The iPhone 5s is still great. Even the 5c, which was widely panned for being too expensive, suddenly becomes a much better deal with such a pricing scheme.
What does this mean for investors?
Although all of the excitement is -- understandably, of course -- centered around the upcoming iPhone 6 model(s), it's important not to lose sight of the fact that not everybody is going to be buying phones at the $199 unsubsidized price point. Having a compelling product line up at as many price points as possible is going to be key to bringing as many users into the iOS ecosystem as possible.
Interestingly enough, the product stack above could be the "first" in Apple's history. Not only will the company have a legitimate answer to parts of the high end that Apple hadn't really addressed previously (perhaps seven driving a net ASP uplift with the iPhone 6 models), but pushing the 5s and the 5c down will start to erode the value propositions of some of the lower-end Android phones.
In short, Apple is casting a much wider net.
Foolish bottom line
Quite frankly, it will be exciting to see what Apple's market share in the smartphone market looks like post-iPhone 6. Not only will Apple now have available to it the Android users that have been eagerly awaiting a larger iPhone to switch back, but Apple will be able to offer extremely high quality products into the lower end of the segment.
Oh, and to answer the title of this article, it seems unlikely that Apple will discontinue the iPhone 5s following the iPhone 6 launch, as it just makes far too much sense to keep it as part of an expanded product portfolio.
Leaked: Apple's next smart device (warning, it may shock you)
Apple recently recruited a secret-development "dream team" to guarantee its newest smart device was kept hidden from the public for as long as possible. But the secret is out, and some early viewers are claiming its everyday impact could trump the iPod, iPhone, and the iPad. In fact, ABI Research predicts 485 million of this type of device will be sold per year. But one small company makes Apple's gadget possible. And its stock price has nearly unlimited room to run for early in-the-know investors. To be one of them, and see Apple's newest smart gizmo, just click here!

Wish I did sooner. After carefully taking it apart, I found the problem. The connection from the batteries to the unit had failed. The connection is the stiff wire from the battery coils to a gold pad on the pc board. The wire gouged a small hole in the gold pad and it lost the connection. The fix was to bend this wire so that it contacted the pad in a different spot.

Think Adam Lambert is "under pressure" to rise to the expectations of Queen fans? Filling the shoes of the late Freddie Mercury, even for limited engagements in the past, has brought out the haters each time. And now that legendary rock band Queen has announced that they will tour the United States this summer with Lambert at the helm, they're sure to cry sacrilege. But he's not overly concerned...
"You just can't focus on that crap, especially in today's day and age, the Internet, and everybody has an opinion and a comment. That's not why we do this," Lambert told The Associated Press (via Yahoo News) March 6.
Of course, there are the Glamberts, the Adam Lambert fans that see the "American Idol" alum as doing no wrong, to offset the haters. Then there are the millions of regular fans that enjoy the California glam rocker for the entertaining guy he is. And if being the frontman for Queen is the new gig, well… have at it.
Besides, if Lambert performs with Queen as well as he did for the Freddie Mercury Tribute at the 2011 MTV European Video Music Awards, it is difficult to see how anyone could have a problem with the singer putting his spin on the classic rock tunes. That performance may have been one of the best performances without an original lead singer ever. Even if one is a Queen purist, what's to hate?
"At first it was a little daunting when we did our first incarnation of this. I definitely felt apprehensive. Freddie Mercury is one of the greatest singers that ever lived," Lambert said. That "first incarnation" occurred on the Season 8 finale of "American Idol," where Lambert would ultimately place second. He added, "It's such a treat for me to get on stage and pay my respects, and pay tribute to one of my favorite singers ever, and to sing some of the greatest music ever written."
Adam Lambert will be joined by the two remaining members of Queen, Brian May on guitar and Roger Taylor on drums.
The tour kicks off in Chicago, Ill., on June 19 and concludes on July 20 in Washington, D.C. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 14.
Besides, singing another artist's music is a tribute. There will be a direct tribute to the late Freddie Mercury during the show, Brian May noted. "The mere fact that we're playing songs that Freddie wrote is a tribute," he pointed out.
And as for Lambert taking on the frontman duties? Roger Taylor defended Lambert as their choice: "Good is good, and quality is quality."
Freddie Mercury passed away in 1991 and Queen has performed and recorded with several lead singers in their "Queen +" incarnations, including George Michael, Robbie Williams, Wyclef Jean, and others. The band recorded with legendary frontman Paul Rodgers (Bad Company, Free, The Firm) and even went on a world tour. But this is Adam Lambert's third go-round with the band, a couple of guest appearances post-"Idolo" and then a European tour with the band in 2011 after the 2011 MTV European Video Music Awards tribute to Freddie Mercury.
Queen is recognized as one of the most influential bands in rock history, having sold over 150 million albums worldwide (with some estimates reaching 300 million). They are the most charted band in United Kingdom (even when one includes the Beatles and the Rolling Stones). And they're considered the most bootlegged artist in history. The band, which was formed in London in 1970, inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001. While Rolling Stone ranked them at No. 52 on their list of "Greatest Artists of All Time" and VH1 put them at No. 17 on their comparable list, readers' polls can be found across the Internet that place them in the top position.
Adam Lambert reached fame through the reality singing competition "American Idol," finishing as the runner-up to the Season 8 winner Kris Allen. He would go on to head a world tour to promote his first album, For Your Entertainment, which has sold nearly a million copies in the U. S. (and over a million worldwide). He was nominated for a Grammy for "Whataya Want From Me?", the second single from the album, in 2011. And his follow-up album, Trespassing, scored the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart in May 2012.

It looks like it works in both directions. I never used it in the case of lower bound, but here Chernoff bound you can find example of usage as lower bound.
Let $X_{1}, ..., X_{n}$ be independent Bernoulli random variables, each having probability $p > 1/2$. Then the probability of simultaneous occurrence of more than $n/2$ of the events has an exact value $P$.
The Chernoff bound shows that P has the following lower bound.
$P \geq 1 - e ^{-2n(p-\frac{1}{2})^2}$
