Haworth Inc. designs and manufactures adaptable workspaces, including raised floors, movable walls, systems furniture, seating, storage and wood casegoods. Founded in 1948 by G. W. Haworth, Haworth is a privately held, family-owned corporation headquartered in Holland, Michigan, United States. Haworth serves markets in more than 120 countries through a global network of 600 dealers. In 2010, Haworth's worldwide sales were US$1.21 billion. Haworth employs nearly 7,000 people worldwide in 20 wholly owned factories and 55 sales offices.
The company began in 1948 as Modern Products. In 1954, the focus of Modern Products shifted toward office environments, in response to the development of modular office partitions. To reflect this new focus, the company changed its name to Modern Partitions[1]
In 1976 the company took its current name, Haworth, and the company began focusing exclusively on office furniture systems.
In the early 1980s, when office seating was added to Haworth product offering being built at the Allegan, Michigan Haworth Plant, the company continued its movement toward providing complete workspace solutions. Later in the 1980s, Haworth pursued an aggressive expansion in North America, Europe, and Asia.
During the next two decades, Haworth developed several industry firsts — from the first mobile office system to panel-to-panel cabling systems. Haworth also earned awards for its business and design practices, such as environmental sustainability, leadership, community service, and member job satisfaction.
In 1996 competitor Steelcase was found at fault in a patent infringement suit brought by Haworth in 1985. Steelcase was ordered to pay $211.5 million in damages and interest.[2]
Haworth reached $1 billion in annual revenue in 1994, and passed the $2 billion mark in 2000. In January of that year, Haworth purchased SMED of Calgary.[3] In September, 2003, Haworth acquired Interface AR of Grand Rapids, Michigan.[4] The acquisitions of SMED and InterfaceAR further strengthened Haworth's workspace solutions.
The company purchased Italian furniture group Poltrona Frau for $270 million in 2014. Through the acquisition, Haworth gained a majority stake in several iconic Italian design brands, including Cappellini, Cassina and Alias. [5]
Haworth, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned corporation. Haworth had sales of $1.8 Billion in 2014[6] making it the third largest manufacturer of office furniture behind Steelcase and Herman Miller.

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - The Topeka Menards Super Store, located at 6401 SW 17th Street, openend its doors for business Tuesday morning.
General Manager Bruce Mezera said the new home improvement store spans 240,000 square feet, with an additional six to eight acres outside that includes a full-service lumberyard and a garden center.
Mezera said about 200 employees work at the Topeka location.
"Menards is new to the Topeka area, we are home improvement destination. You can come to one of our stores and find everything from a new home package to literally a gallon of milk," he said.
"We also get into a full pet and grocery line, we care some clothing, consumer goods that you wouldn't generally see at some of the other home improvement centers," he said.
The grand opening celebrations will begin August 25 through Labor Day weekend. Menards will have special deals, prizes, give-aways and celebrity appearances during the celebration week.

The study goal was to compare simple two-dimensional (2D) analyses of bone strength using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) data to more sophisticated three-dimensional (3D) finite element analyses using quantitative computed tomography (QCT) data. DXA- and QCT-derived femoral neck geometry, simple strength indices, and strength estimates were well correlated.
Simple 2D analyses of bone strength can be done with DXA data and applied to large data sets. We compared 2D analyses to 3D finite element analyses (FEA) based on QCT data.
Two hundred thirteen women participating in the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation (SWAN) received hip DXA and QCT scans. DXA BMD and femoral neck diameter and axis length were used to estimate geometry for composite bending (BSI) and compressive strength (CSI) indices. These and comparable indices computed by Hip Structure Analysis (HSA) on the same DXA data were compared to indices using QCT geometry. Simple 2D engineering simulations of a fall impacting on the greater trochanter were generated using HSA and QCT femoral neck geometry; these estimates were benchmarked to a 3D FEA of fall impact.
DXA-derived CSI and BSI computed from BMD and by HSA correlated well with each other (R = 0.92 and 0.70) and with QCT-derived indices (R = 0.83–0.85 and 0.65–0.72). The 2D strength estimate using HSA geometry correlated well with that from QCT (R = 0.76) and with the 3D FEA estimate (R = 0.56).
Femoral neck geometry computed by HSA from DXA data corresponds well enough to that from QCT for an analysis of load stress in the larger SWAN data set. Geometry derived from BMD data performed nearly as well. Proximal femur breaking strength estimated from 2D DXA data is not as well correlated with that derived by a 3D FEA using QCT data.

In a network system, such as a router or a switch, it is difficult to achieve flexibility and performance at the same time. We propose an architecture that consists of network processors for packet processing and a VLAN-based Ethernet backplane for switching. This allows us to use flexible network processors for packet processing functions, and still exploit the cost-effectiveness of Ethernet to achieve switching capacity. We propose an architecture where we use VLAN tagging for internal traffic management, and also for distributed packet forwarding decisions between ingress and egress units. We describe our implementation of this system and report performance analysis, where we find that we can achieve near line rate performance in a system with Gigabit Ethernet ports, and that internal memory management is important for network processor performance.

"Nothing short of mind-blowing . . . Just amazing stuff" "Newsday
"A fast-paced, fascinating tale that combines shoe leather, high-tech forensics and some healthy dollops of luck .Biegel makes a compelling case that he's solved the mystery his book is a home run." "Associated Press"
October 3, 1951. Giants third baseman Bobby Thomson hit the most dramatic home run in the history of baseball. The moment occurred in the bottom of the ninth inning of a sudden-death playoff game between the New York Giants and their arch rivals from Brooklyn, the Dodgers. People across the nation watched on their new TV sets, and the home run became known as the Shot Heard Round the World.
But after clearing the left- eld wall, the central artifact of the play the ball itself inexplicably went missing. The mystery of what happened to the legendary baseball has remained unsolved for a half century.
Until now.
"Miracle Ball" is the gripping account of author Brian Biegel's two-year effort to unravel the mystery that experts said could never be solved. A sports story for the ages, an engrossing mystery narrative, and a moving account of a man's unbreakable bond with his family and of his struggles to save himself, "Miracle Ball" delivers both heart and headlines.

For my birthday this year my husband took me to the Chattanooga Choo Choo. The old station looks great. We took pictures of the station. We stayed in one of the rail cars that have been made into rooms. We took pictures right a way. Great room very well done. While walking around the property enjoying the foundations, flowers, train cars; we stopped and got coffee and carried it back to the room. The seating is great for sitting, having something to drink, and talking. The staff was friendly and wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. We had dinner at the Station very good food and the waiters sang between serving We did room service for breakfast also very good and on time. I highly recommend staying in one of the cars.

Life The Heart of the Wolf
posted by December 5 at 13:19 PMon
He walked onto the bus (number 4, heading up to the CD from Downtown), sat on the seats across from mine, and began knitting. He was about 25, white, tall, dressed in black, with short black hair, and boots on his feet. His knitting needles were long, fat, and slowly materializing a thick something that shall (or shall fail to—more likely the latter) keep some member of the body warm. Because he recently learned how to knit, every part of his being—his mind, his eyes, his hands, his fingers—was lost in the process itself. He was nowhere else but in the knitting.
Now, what is the meaning of this? Why is the young man engaged in a painfully boring practice that is distinctly coded as a practice for painfully bored housewives and old women? What is he really after? Surely, he is not enjoying the knitting itself; the pleasure or the satisfaction must be derived from other areas in the realm of our culture.
I have two conjectures: One, this is a form of cultural colonialism. The young man, who is in a specific position in this society, is appropriating a practice or custom that is naturally a part of a lower position in the social order. We can all agree that no poor man (or woman, for that matter) would ever take knitting up as a hobby; he/she would only do it for money, for survival, for clothes they actually need. For the poor, knitting has a use value; for a man in his position, it has a value that is even more rarefied than that of a collector. The collector, in the primary sense, collects objects, whereas the man who knits for the sake of knitting is collecting work—the labor that makes objects. But even more than class appropriation, there is a gender one as well. As if all the things men can do in this society were not enough, there is now the domain of women to conquer and absorb.
The other conjecture: This is a clever bird trap. The bird the young man has in mind would, upon seeing him knitting (the trap), think that he is already domesticated, nothing left of him to tame, to break, to beat, to nag into submission. He is a young man I can bring home and bake cakes with, grow flowers with, make the bed with, wash dishes with, shop with, cry with, and watch my pregnancy with. But this man is not your future man; he is a man with a needling trap for catching what Lauren Hill calls "that thing." His heart is my heart—and my heart is the heart of the other knowing men on that bus. We know what he is up to. The young man is nothing more than a wolf dressed up in granny practices.

As if the result of some strange mass-media fluke, the popular radio program "A Prairie Home Companion" somehow managed to survive the television age to entertain its audience every Saturday night from the stage of the historic Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul, Minn. Week after week, hangdog host G.K. serves as unflappable emcee to an amiable hodgepodge of radio-friendly acts that include the likes of popular country duo Yolanda and Rhonda Johnson and singing cowboys the Old Trailhands. This is one show where the under-the-line antics are nearly as entertaining as the program itself. The efforts of down-on-his-luck private dick and backstage doorkeeper Guy Noir discovers the true identity of a mysterious blonde and helps aspiring teen singer Lola to find her true voice before a live audience. There is still plenty of fun and mystery to be had at the old Fitzgerald before the final curtain falls.

McALLEN, Texas (AP) - A south Texas police officer and his wife have been found dead in their home in what investigators say appears to be a murder-suicide.
The McAllen Monitor reports that the bodies of Jose "Joe" Hernandez and his wife, Rosa Maria Castillo, were found when officers responded to a shooting at their apartment Tuesday morning.
San Juan Police Chief Juan Gonzalez said the investigation was ongoing. Hernandez had worked for the San Juan police department for eight years and the couple had been married for less than a year.

Nonlinear mean reversion in the term structure of interest rates
The expectations hypothesis implies that the yield curve provides information on the future change in the short-term interest rate. However, transaction costs exist in the financial market, which prevent investors from realizing the arbitrage opportunity, when the arbitrage does not fully cover the transaction costs. The purpose of this paper is to assess the effect of transaction costs on the predictability of the term structure by using the threshold vector error correction model, which allows for the nonlinear adjustment to the long-run equilibrium relationship. A significant amount of threshold effect is found, and the adjustment coefficients are regime-dependent. The empirical result supports the nonlinear mean reversion in the term structure of interest rates.

If you've ever heard about organizations that are changing from a traditional telephone system to Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology and wondered if it's something you should consider for your own agency, the following information could help in the decision making process. If one or more of these applies to your agency, I would encourage you to learn more about VoIP technology as a unified communications solution.
- If you have separate networks for phone and data, you should consider VoIP. With VoIP from DIS, phone systems and data are both on the highly secure, highly available state network.
- If you frequently move, add or change employee work stations, you should consider VoIP. The costs associated with moving, changing or adding traditional phone units can add up quickly. With VoIP, you simply move the existing phone to its new location equipped with a broadband network jack and plug it in.

Kevin Frandsen spent the winter thinking about the Nationals. "How to kick their [butt], in all honesty," he said Friday afternoon.
Frandsen assumed he would play again for the Phillies, for the third straight season. Instead, the Phillies demoted him to Class AAA at the end of spring training. "Blindside is a good way" to describe it, Frandsen said. "I was like the ball boy on the sideline that got run over by someone."
Frandsen opted out of a guaranteed contract that would have paid him $900,000. The Nationals contacted him that day, and they would sign him to a deal worth the same, plus $300,000 in incentives. Friday, holding court with Philadelphia reporters, he admitted his anger with the Phillies' front office.
"I was [upset]," Frandsen said. "I was [upset]. Like I said, I knew where I stood with [Manager Ryne Sandberg] and [the coaching staff]. But I was [upset]. If they thought I was roster flexibility, that's what they thought. But I didn't think that of myself. I earned my way to being on the bench, to being a vital part over there. That's what I thought, and that's the feeling I have, and I'm going to go with it."
Frandsen will have to come off the bench Friday night. Manager Matt Williams played Tyler Moore in left field, because Moore is 4 for 9 with three doubles and a homer against starter Cliff Lee. Frandsen is 4 for 7 with two doubles and a homer against Sunday starter Cole Hamels, and he'll start Sunday, Williams said.
Shortly after he switched NL East allegiances, did he circle this series on his calendar?
"No," Frandsen replied, holding the 'o' before a pause. Then he cracked a smile. "You guys know me," he said. "I don't have a poker face."
Frandsen made clear that he appreciated the Phillies and felt grateful for his time with the franchise. He loved playing for Sandberg, under whom he rebuilt his career at Class AAA Lehigh Valley. He said fans supported him even in the minors. But he also made clear that he still held some anger with the front office.
"I know where I stand with the coaching staff over there and where I was with the other guys," Frandsen said. "I just felt more confident about myself than what they saw as far as the management side. It is what it is. I'm excited to be a National. I was excited and lucky to be a Phillie. That's first and foremost. I got an opportunity to make it back up to the big leagues and play really well for them."
So far, Frandsen has played well for the Nationals. He's hitting .289, and his impact has gone beyond that. Frandsen has provided the Nationals a jolt of energy, a bat that drills left-handed pitching and an uplifting character in the clubhouse. With Bryce Harper out for two months, Frandsen has become a pivotal player.
It's hard to imagine Frandsen wouldn't be one of the Phillies' best 25 players. In spring, the Phillies had little depth at third base, and they lacked pop against left-handed pitching – Frandsen played third, and in his career he's hit .289 against lefties. In April, Phillies third basemen hit .149/.212/.223 and accounted for -1.6 wins above replacement. After one month, Frandsen has had the last word.
"I don't care what it was on timing and circumstance," Frandsen said. "I earned my way. I earned my right to have that contract. I went about it the right way to be on that team over there. It didn't happen. We're four games over .500 here, and I'm loving that. I'm loving winning."

Was very impressed with delivery time. Great outfits but neither I nor my partner could fasten the belts! As long as you are slim there won't be a problem!

My items were like the picture and good value for money. Service was fast and trouble free. Will definitely use this company again.

Ordered this costume as a last minute new years eve costume... nowhere else would have delivered it in time so it was my last chance. Paid for next day delivery and was not disappointed! It arrived before midday the following day and I was sent 2 texts telling me the exact time it would arrive so I wasn't waiting around all day. It was a really great costume. Just as it looks and is described on the internet. Men's costume fitted my partner perfectly...womens costume is a size medium, made to fit all, the dress was a bit loose on me but with the belt on you can't tell at all, if the belt is too big you an also tie in at the back instead of using the Velcro. Definitely recommend this costume and this website!!!!!

Just as in the state as a whole, Hillary Clinton won in Taylor County in the Democratic primary for the race for the presidency.
Of the county's 17,878 registered voters, 3,853 voted on Tuesday — a voter turnout of 21.55 percent. Statewide, turnout was 20.65 percent. Of the state's 3,243,078 registered voters, 669,850 voted.
"It was a good election. We got all the votes counted by 7 p.m.," said Taylor County Clerk Mark Carney. "It was very high turnout for a primary."
A new book by a Christian author has local roots in Taylor County. This month marks the nationwide release of "The Taming of Evelyn Gracen," a historical romantic novel by Sandy Arnold.
Being an avid reader, writing has always been something Arnold tossed around in the back of her head.
"It was just sort of on a dare for myself to see if I could do it," she said.
She had homeschooled her son, Charlie, from preschool through high school. Once he graduated in 2011, she decided to start writing.
Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles says the Kentucky Proud brand can make Kentucky-made products as famous as Idaho potatoes or Florida oranges.
"Kentucky can be known beyond our state's borders for more than just bourbon, tobacco and Kentucky Fried Chicken," said Quarles. "We can do more, and I hope to highlight some of the great, high-quality ... products we have, internationally and beyond our state's borders, using Kentucky Proud as a model."
Representatives of the Campbellsville Amazon Fulfillment Center stopped by Campbellsville Elementary School Wednesday to help ignite the passion for reading in students. Amazon donated 25 Kindle Fire Kids Edition tablets to the kindergarten and first grade classrooms.
Five students from each kindergarten class were in attendance for the surprise donation. Smiles from ear to ear came across each face as the students tried out their new hand-held devices.
A Liberty woman was found dead Wednesday evening after driving off Stoner Creek Road on Tuesday, according to the Kentucky State Police.
A report by KSP Post 15 Spokesman Tpr. Billy Gregory said Carla Monday, 54, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Monday, who wasn't wearing a seat belt, was driving west on Stoner Creek Road when she ran off the road, over an embankment and hit several trees, according to the report.
Campbellsville University will be the new owner of Veterans Memorial Park.
At their meeting Tuesday night, magistrates of the Taylor County Fiscal Court unanimously approved a bid from CU, the only bid they received. CU will pay the county $10,000 a year for 10 years. The county recently declared the park as surplus property. The bid does not include the neighboring community center.
While the state's 2016/2017 fiscal year budget includes many cuts, work will still continue on the Heartland Parkway.
That was the message at a town hall meeting Tuesday morning at Jeff's Food Mart held by State Sen. Max Wise (R-Campbellsville) and State Rep. John "Bam" Carney (R-Campbellsville).
A Taylor County Grand Jury indicted five people last week.
• Christopher Johnson, 26, of A. Cox Road in Elk Horn, was charged with two counts of receiving stolen property - firearm, a Class D felony.
The charges stem from reported incidents from Nov. 21-23, 2015. A CPD report states that Johnson stole a Mossberg 20-gauge shotgun and a Marlin 0.22-caliber rifle from the victim's residence.
Beulah Campbell was recently honored with a 100th birthday celebration given by relatives and close friends. The reception was held on May 7 at Bluegrass Way Senior Living where Campbell currently resides.
Campbell's friends and family describe her as a special lady who always has a welcoming smile. Janet Clark, Campbell's niece and a retired elementary school teacher, said Campbell is both her aunt and her best friend.
Taylor County is hosting a couple of annual clean-up events later this month, both of which are free of charge to the public.
The county and the Kentucky Division of Waste Management are holding their annual waste tire collection program Thursday, May 19, through Saturday, May 21, at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet building at 236 Bear Track Road.
The program will be from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on May 19 and 20 and from 8 a.m. to noon on May 21.

A group of squatters rebel against Mrs Thatcher and erupt into violence in this politicised novel from the author of 'The Golden Notebook'. In a London squat a band of bourgeois revolutionaries are united by a loathing of the waste and cruelty they see around them. These maladjusted malcontents try desperately to become involved in terrorist activities far beyond their level of competence. Only Alice seems capable of organising anything. Motherly, practical and determined, she is also easily exploited by the group and ideal fodder for a more dangerous and potent cause. Eventually their naive radical fantasies turn into a chaos of real destruction, but the aftermath is not as exciting as they had hoped. Nonetheless, while they may not have changed the world, their lives will never be the same again...

The start of school is right around the corner and children will be returning to a setting of education and friendship.
This week's editorial was one of the most difficult we have written.
This week two Newton County young people lost their lives and another took a life, leaving a cloud of sadness over an otherwise sunny time.
The world is a hectic place. Emails follow us home on our phones, communications from others are just 240 characters and a Tweet away and ...

There is no question that this has been a tough winter here in Newton County and Social Circle.
The residents of Nelson Heights received good news this week.
The Smart Growth Newton County board of directors is disappointed by the Covington City Council's refusal to approve pursuing a nonbinding grant for funds to aid in conversion of unused rail lines in the city to walking and biking trails, should the rail lines be purchased. The grant investigation would have cost the city nothing; it would have simply added information to help the council weigh the merits and costs of trail use of the rail line.
Lyrics were always the hardest thing for me to master as a kid. The Beatles invaded American rock-n-roll in December 1963, and appeared on "The Ed Sullivan Show" in February '64. Invited to join a fledgling band, I discovered how challenging memorizing lyrics to a myriad of tunes really is.
"I support extending unemployment benefits, COBRA [health] benefits, flood insurance, highway bill fix, doc fix, small business loans, and distant network television for satellite viewers," Sen. Jim Bunning (R-Ky.).
Jim Bunning spent 15 years in major league baseball pitching for the Detroit Tigers and the Philadelphia Phillies. During that time he was a solid, all-around player winning more than 200 games.
Last Sunday we were proud to once again recognize the importance of agribusiness to Newton County; little did we know that the chancellor and the Board of Regents of The University System of Georgia were planning a broadside attack against the future of a segment of our economy that provides more than $70 billion in revenue in Georgia and employs more than 69,000 workers.
In these tough economic times the university system is under pressure to cut expenses so the state can have a balanced budget.
This time of year, we are not only excited that the first warmer days of spring are just around the corner, but also that the Arts Association in Newton County's spring series is ramping up too.
During the month of March the Arts Association sponsors the True Colours Art Exhibit at the Newton County Library. This exhibit features work from all grades of Newton County students and we are always amazed at the talent of the young people within our boarders.
There was a time when communities like ours knew their congressman. He usually attended all the major functions, patted babies on their head and even made speeches at Rotary and Kiwanis meetings.
Then politicians figured out a way that they could have their party, and themselves if they played their cards right, stay in power for as long as they chose.
We think it's worthwhile that the Newton County Board of Commissioners is reviewing their ethics policies.
The reason this is even necessary is the abuse of gifts of every sort by politicians across the country.
"When you concentrate on agriculture and industry and are frugal in expenditures, Heaven cannot impoverish your state."
The county BOC also is considering passing an anti-tethering ordinance.
Residents of Newton County, in one way or another, have all felt the effects of the economic downturn mainly caused by the collapse of the housing industry.
This past week the Covington City Council voted to purchase 15 external defibrillators for the Covington Police Department.
Georgia's legislators have gotten themselves into another fine mess with the state budget. The question is how do they get themselves out of it?
We wholeheartedly endorse the recommendations made by Newton County Schools Superintendent Steve Whatley in regards to the Newton County theme schools.

A lush lawn is a jewel in any backyard, but one with thick turf and a birch-tree forest border practically begs barefoot guests to come out and play. On this particular 23.5-by-84-foot patch, the game of choice is croquet; the lawn can accommodate a full game of six players. And while it's nowhere near as big as the 5,000 square feet used in official games, the tough mix of bluegrass, rye, and fescue grasses will still stand up to the most zealous competitors.
For Roger, building the lawn was no different from any other sod project, though he added the step of making the field somewhat level. He amended the soil and laid the turf, then gave it a few weeks to take root before allowing players on the field. He also collected large stones that dotted the property to construct a rock wall boundary along one side, separating the gaming area from the trees. All that's left is to place the wickets, grab a traditional wood mallet, and stroll the grounds for a leisurely game.

What's extraordinary about Idlewild, Outkast's first foray into feature film, isn't the stylized beauty, expertly choreographed numbers or smart soundtrack. Instead, it's that Idlewild was ever theatrically released.
Idlewild isn't so much a film as it is an extended promo for the soundtrack. Its closest relative isn't 8 Mile but 3 Chains o' Gold, Prince's glossy, over-the-top feature-length ad for his The Love Symbol album. Like most films of its ilk, Prince's album promo was released direct to video. And, despite some engaging moments and how expert Outkast's music is, Idlewild should have had a similar distribution.
Unlike 3 Chains o' Gold, Idlewild takes more of a musical-inspired approach. Usually, when Percival (Andre Benjamin, or Andre 3000), a repressed mortician-cum-piano player, and Rooster (Antwan A. Patton, or Big Boi), a hustler, entertainer, and reluctant family man, start in on a song, it's in the confines of The Church, a Prohibition club in Georgia that resembles more a vaudeville by way of the Moulin Rouge than a typical Southern speakeasy. They both work there, so the numbers are motivated. When other tunes are belted out — like when Percival is lamenting the death of his lover, Sally (Paula Patton), and when Rooster is being chased and shot at by the Morris Day-inspired gangster, Trumpy (Terrence Howard) — they are nothing more than big-budget music videos. Still, these moments are fun and visually wonderful. When Percival is awakened by a wall full of cuckoo clocks, for instance, Bryan Barber's direction guides the scene from typical MTV to Michel Gondry sublimity.
Yet it's hard to shake the feeling that Idlewild is aimless. Is it a collection of videos, or is it a meta-musical like Moulin Rouge? There is more than a passing resemblance to Baz Luhrmann's film about the French can-can. Barber and Outkast take music and dance from the 1930s and infuse them with a healthy dose of modernity, and they even cherry-pick some Moulin Rouge narrative elements. Unfortunately, Barber and Outkast can't sustain the thrust that made Moulin Rouge unique. They try, admirably, but get bogged down by and can't overcome the extended music video feel of the film.
Not helping matters is how fractured the film is. On their last album, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, Big Boi and Andre 3000 each get a disc to showcase their unique talents, with little overlapping interaction between the two. That same approach is employed here, not only in the music but in the narrative. It might work on the Idlewild soundtrack, but in the film it backfires. Their individual storylines are weighted so differently, and they have so few scenes together, that you're almost forced to pick one side of the film — the Speakerboxxx, Rooster side or The Love Below, Percival one — to care about.
That's an unfair decision to ask of an audience in a legitimate feature film. But it's one that would feel normal in a high-concept promo DVD for Outkast — which is what Idlewild probably should have been in the first place.Powered by Sidelines

Longtime Minnesota congressman Oberstar dies at 79

Former U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar, who served northeastern Minnesota for 36 years, died in his sleep Saturday, May 3, 2014, according to a statement from his family. He was 79. (AP Photo/Jim Mone, File)
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Jim Oberstar, who represented northeastern Minnesota for 36 years and brought millions of dollars to the state as chair of the powerful House Transportation Committee, died unexpectedly early Saturday. He was 79.
A statement released by his family said Oberstar died in his sleep. A cause of death was not provided. His former chief of staff, Bill Richard, said Oberstar died at his home in Potomac, Maryland.
Richard said Oberstar was not ill. Oberstar's family said it was heartbroken.
"Jim was a loving husband, father, grandfather, friend and brother," the family statement said. "While we mourn the loss of a good man, we also celebrate his life and his service. We ask for your thoughts and prayers, and understanding, at this very difficult time."
Oberstar, a Democrat, was elected to Congress in 1974 and served 18 terms — the state's longest-serving member of Congress. Oberstar [auth] became chairman of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in 2006.
He was a champion for transportation safety and infrastructure improvements and supported the concept of intermodality — connecting highways, subways, city buses, intercity rail and bike paths. He also brought jobs to his district, noting that the economic stimulus brought $212 million to St. Louis County alone and increased demand for iron ore from the Iron Range's taconite mines.
In 2010, Oberstar narrowly lost to GOP challenger Chip Cravaack as part of a Republican takeover of the U.S. House. After that defeat, Oberstar said: "I go with peace of mind and heart, but with sadness … I loved the opportunity to serve the people of this district." His district included Duluth and the Iron Range.
"I can't change and wouldn't change any of the votes I cast this year to bring us out of this worst recession, chart a course for the future, to lay a foundation for a better America, a better quality of life, a better quality of health care, rein in financial institutions, to give everybody equal opportunity and a better quality of life," he said after his 2010 loss. "I wouldn't change any one of those things."
Oberstar was the son of an underground miner from Chisholm, and many said he carried the Iron Range values of hard work and family loyalty throughout his career.
Fellow political leaders, business leaders, and union representatives praised Oberstar for his accomplishments and mourned his loss. Many called him a friend and mentor. U.S. Sen. Amy Klobuchar said he was a man of "true purpose and grit" who traveled the world helping people and speaking his mind, sometimes in French.
"Every miner should remember his work to keep the mines open and make them safer," Klobuchar, also a Democrat, said in a statement. "Every American who bikes the Minnesota bike trails, hikes the Lake Superior trail, and drives our national highways and bridges should remember Jim today."
Duluth Mayor Don Ness said no public official has done more for northeastern Minnesota in the last 50 years than Oberstar. He said Oberstar had a brilliant mind and legendary memory.
"Aside from my family, Jim was the most influential person in my life," Ness said.
President Barack Obama said in a statement that Oberstar dedicated his career to "improving America's infrastructure, creating opportunity for hardworking Minnesotans, and building a strong economy for future generations of Americans."
Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said in a statement Sunday that Oberstar's "personal imprint on our national transportation policies across all modes cannot be overstated. His principles and his legislative accomplishments continue to guide the work of the U.S. Department of Transportation each and every day."
Gov. Mark Dayton said Oberstar was a true champion for Minnesota residents and worked tirelessly to bring jobs, economic growth, and a better quality of life to his constituents.
Richard Anderson, the chief executive of Delta Air Lines, said Oberstar was a wise and trusted friend who left a mark in the airline industry and understood the need for a strong and sustainable infrastructure.
After leaving Congress, Oberstar worked as a consultant, and continued to speak publicly. The Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota created a fellowship in his name. A Great Lakes freighter was also named after him in 2011.
Richard said his death came as a surprise.
"He was active and vivacious and went to one of the grandchildren's plays the night before," Richard said Saturday. "He was going to do more things with the grandchildren today. … It's a surprise to everyone. I had lunch with him last week and he was in great shape, and alert and physically fit."
Oberstar is survived by his wife, Jean, four children and eight grandchildren.

Key events in Egypt, from the revolt which toppled president Hosni Mubarak in 2011 to the ouster of his successor Mohamed Morsi on Wednesday after four days of massive popular protests.
- 25: Egypt protests erupt, involving thousands of demonstrators, after a revolt topples Tunisia's ruler. The protests are centred in Cairo's Tahrir Square, but involve more than a million people nationwide on February 1.
- 11: Mubarak resigns and hands power to the army led by Field Marshal Hussein Tantawi. About 850 people die in the unrest.
- 12: Promising a peaceful transition to democracy, the army suspends the constitution and dissolves parliament.
- 3: The army sacks prime minister Ahmed Shafiq and replaces him with Essam Sharaf.
- 15: The army disbands Mubarak's hated security police.
- 19: Egyptians widely approve a new constitution.
- 28-29: More than 1,000 hurt as protesters and police clash in Tahrir Square.
- 19: Start of week-long clashes between police and anti-military demonstrators that leave 42 dead.
- 28: Egypt holds the first stage of its first post-revolt parliamentary election. Islamist parties win about two-thirds of the seats, of which half go to the Muslim Brotherhood.
- 1: Riots kill 74 people after a Port Said football match.
- 2: Mubarak and former interior minister Habib al-Adly sentenced to life in prison for the deaths of protesters during the revolt.
- 30: Mohammad Morsi, who won the presidential election with 51.7 percent of the vote, is sworn in, becoming Egypt's first civilian and Islamist ruler.
- 12: Morsi scraps a constitutional document which handed sweeping powers to the military and ousts Tantawi.
- 22: Morsi decrees sweeping new powers for himself. He annuls the decree on December 8.
- 15 and 22: 64 percent of voters in the two-round referendum back the new constitution, after a vote which the opposition says is tainted.
Egypt plunges into a deep political crisis, with demonstrations by supporters and opponents of Morsi turning into sometimes deadly clashes.
- 24: Violence between demonstrators and police on the eve of the second anniversary of the 2011 uprising. Nearly 60 people die in a week.
- 2: Egypt's highest court invalidates the Islamist-dominated Senate, which assumed a legislative role when parliament was dissolved, and a panel that drafted the constitution.
- 30: Massive demonstrations as Egyptians respond to a call by the Tamarod ("rebellion") campaign and take to the streets nationwide to oust the leader on the anniversary of his turbulent first year in power.
- 1: The opposition gives Morsi a day to quit or face civil disobedience. Tamarod calls on "the army, the police and the judiciary to clearly side with the popular will as represented by the crowds".
The armed forces warn that it will intervene if the people's demands are not met within 48 hours.
- 2: Gunmen kill 16 people and wound 200 others at a Cairo rally supporting Morsi.
- 3: Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi ousts Morsi and declares the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court caretaker leader.
Sisi also announces a freezing of the Islamist-drafted constitution and early presidential elections. Morsi speaks of a "coup".

Talking Dirty
A hilarious, tongue-in-cheek collection of fun, jokes, judgements and observations on the subject of sex
'Women should be obscene and not heard' – John Lennon
'The only unnatural act is that which you cannot perform' – Alfred Kinsey
'Fat people are brilliant in bed: if I'm sitting on top of you, who's going to argue?' – Jo Brand
'What most women want is not a man who ties you to the bed but one who unstacks the dishes while you watch The Great British Bake Off' – Harriet Harman
Throughout the centuries, talk of sex has proved irresistible, producing wide-ranging responses, contradictory remarks, denouncements and appraisals; something seen as harmless by one is often condemned as damnable by another.
Whatever your sexual preferences, Talking Dirty is a hugely entertaining treasury of wit on this endlessly entertaining and controversial topic.

If you are a Naruto fan this is a good game to buy.
It is by far the best one on the wii,and it has hidan and kakuzu in it. And all of the characters have new jutsus and more than 1. (most)It is a really good game plus it has wifi with 40 characters.
I like this game. This may be because I am a Naruto fan though, and I've seen the Japanese episodes, so I know the story line. See, the thing is that this game is mostly just a fighting game, which, although I like it, not everyone does. I don't believe there are any minigames on it. The gameplay is very nice for a fighting game. However, unlocking all the characters and stages takes quite a while. My tip for this is to buy mission mode and [SPOILER ALERT] Anko Mitarashi [End SPOILER] and use her combos and specials on the 10 mission mode for fast cash. Naruto and his special works well here too. Story mode is like the other CoN titles in that it shows text, characters talking through the text, and a battle. Also, like the other games, there are two unnecessarily difficult fights at the end because the enemy has some kind of buff that makes them stronger. And you have to win within the time limit, sometimes with a special, which made it really annoying. and you MUST do it on difficulty 2 or higher, or else you have to find what you didn't do on that difficulty and do it again. Another thing with the story is that it doesn't make much sense unless you've seen the respective episode. The graphics were okay, not amazing, but not poor either. I like the amount of characters to pick from, however,[SPOLIER] because a few other characters that do not appear in the rescue gaara arc are in the game, i expect that next year, there will not be a new CoN game out. Also, i wish I could use Sasori while he controls Kazekage or 100 puppets, but oh well... [/SPOILER] one thing is that you will usually fight
The game lasts a long time and contains a significant number of secrets to unlock.
Per my son: It's a great game for Naruto fans. It has extra bonus features and also has new characters. There is also a tutorial for those that are new to the game.
I would say im a very knowledgeable gamer and also have played many fighting games including Clash of Ninja Revolusion 1-3. Its a great game, a fun slighty different concept on the normal fighting game. Even if your not a Naruto fan playing this game will make you want to be.
The biggest advantages in this game are how you can use built up energy (from attacks or being attacked) to 'evade an attack on you' or use the energy to do a 'special move'. The other great thing are the combos. You can combo a lot of moves and special attacks which normally cant be stopped unless your opponent evades and then retaliates. It makes for a very 'ninja feeling' experience.
Theres 2 big reasons I've deducted stars from this great game. Firstly the sometimes major problem, the Wii isn't fully capable of rendering the game. If you unlock the more advanced animated maps and the more animated charecters you could be left with MAJOR LAG. 5-20 fps, also up to 1/2 second input response time. It makes playing '2 player' difficult.
Secondly ''Survival Mode' seems broken. I've played '2 player' with my brother many many times #as its the last thing in the game to do once you unlock everything# and almost everytime we always lose at a certain level. I forget the number, somthing like 46. Once you reach it the difficulty gets unbeatable. In earlyer 'Clash of Ninja Revolusion' games my brother and I have reached into tripple digit levels, so somthing is clearly broken on this one.
Overall if you want an amazing game I would stick with Naruto Shippuden: Clash of Ninja Revolution 2. The rendering issues with this sequal are just frustrating. With everything said at the price of $8.33 I would buy it again in a heart beat even if i knew its problems. Tons of content for a great price, and when you get bored you have another fancy case to put up on your shelf.
My sons play this game often and say it is action packed. Glad I got it so cheap!

Pack falls in Missoula
Sept. 20, 2013
MISSOULA, Mont. -
The University of Nevada soccer team fell 2-0 to Montana Friday afternoon at the South Campus Stadium.
With the loss, Nevada drops to (2-4-2 MW) on the season, while Montana improves to (3-3-3 Big Sky).
"We fell short today, starting with our inability to find a rhythm of play in the first half," head coach Dr. Melissa Price said. "We responded to being down two goals and put pressure on them, but it was too late. I'm confident we will play better on Sunday."
The Wolf Pack began the match aggressively on the offensive end, attempting a corner kick 30 seconds into the game. The team had three shots on goal and an additional corner kick within the first 13 minutes of the match. Montana goalkeeper Kendra McMillen and the Grizzlies defense kept Nevada out of the net. Montana's first shot came in the 19th minute, as Makenzie Akins' attempt went wide right of the goal. The teams entered halftime tied 0-0. The Grizzlies had nine shots in the opening period to six for the Wolf Pack.
Montana senior midfielder India Watne put the Grizzlies ahead 1-0 with a goal six minutes into the second half. The Grizzlies added to its advantage two minutes later, scoring a goal on a shot by Maddey Frey to put Montana up 2-0. Nevada midfielder Chrisalyn Fonte had a header attempt that fell to the right of the goal in the 60th minute. Kara Kopolow also had a header attempt on a corner kick from Katherine Davison 11 minutes later that sailed over the crossbar. Montana held on to win the match 2-0.
Nevada will close out the non-conference slate with a contest Sunday afternoon against Gonzaga. Kick-off is 1 p.m. at the Gonzaga Soccer Field.

A subgroup of syncope patients report migraine headaches immediately preceding or following syncope, and some respond to anti-migrainous prophylactic agents. This study aimed to describe the frequency of migrainous features concurrent with episodes of syncope and to propose clinical criteria for assessing whether a migrainous mechanism might underlie syncope.
This retrospective, questionnaire-based study developed criteria for syncopal migraine based on the International Classification of Headache Disorders II (ICHD-II) migraine criteria. Two hundred and forty-eight recurrent syncope subjects (>3 episodes) were stratified based on the presence (N = 127) or absence (N = 121) of a headache concurrent with syncopal episodes. Syncopal headaches were classified as either syncopal migraine (meeting ICHD-II criteria for migraine or probable migraine, without aura) or nonspecific (not meeting the criteria for syncopal migraine). The syncope groups were then compared to 199 subjects with migraine headaches using chi-square and Cochran-Armitage test for trend.
Nearly one-third of recurrent syncope subjects met criteria for syncopal migraine. This group resembled the migraine headache population more than the syncope population in age, gender, autonomic testing, and comorbid conditions. The syncopal migraine group also reported a longer duration of syncope and a longer recovery time to normal. Finally, anti-migrainous medications reduced syncope in half of the syncopal migraine subjects.
Syncope may have a migrainous basis more commonly than previously suspected, and we suggested criteria to identify these patients. Syncopal migraine appears epidemiologically more closely related to migraine than to reflex syncope.

Hello everyone.
I just started to change the Theme "Catch Box" and create my own layout.

I get nuts with it, because I can't find it anywhere.
Can anyone help me?

Scientists may have discovered a long-sought-after "glueball" particle, created entirely of gluons. These "sticky" particles actually keep nuclear particles together.
Scientists may have developed a theory to explain why dark matter has evaded direct detection.
The Large Hadron Collider has recreated the "littlest liquid" from the Big Bang.
It turns out that CERN's Large Hadron Collider has discovered a new class of particles known as pentaquarks. The new discovery could herald a new way to think about particle physics.
CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has officially started delivering physics data for the first time in 27 months.
The Large Hadron Collider has started up again and now, physicists have announced that two experiments have combined their results to reveal a very rare and previously unseen subatomic process.
The world's most powerful particle accelerator has started up once more. After two years of upgrades and repairs, proton beams once again circulated around the Large Hadron Collider.
The Large Hadron Collider is almost ready to be up and back in action after its shutdown nearly two years ago. So what's in store for the most powerful particle accelerator on Earth? That's a good question.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the machine that has allowed particle physicists to make some startling discoveries, is gearing up for action once more in 2015.
Physicists may have uncovered new important clues about the nature of our universe. They've made important discoveries concerning Bs meson particles, which may explain why the universe contains more matter than antimatter.
The Future Circular Collider (FCC) could have a circumference of 80 to 100 kilometres (the LHC has a circumference of 27km), but first a five-year exploratory study will be carried out to look into the feasibility and cost of various different machines.
The successor to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) - the world's most powerful particle accelerator - will most likely be based in Japan. But this does not mean the end of CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, near Geneva.

Making it Easier to do Business in America
Created on November 22, 2013
That's the core objective of BusinessUSA. Approaching two years since its launch in early 2012, BusinessUSA was created to provide businesses a better entryway into the host of programs and opportunities the federal government has to offer. Too often, interactions with the government are burdensome, frustrating, and confusing. BusinessUSA aims to fix that by providing a single point of access to those programs and resources relevant to business owners and exporters.
It is BusinessUSA's mission to ensure that potential and existing business owners have access to programs and opportunities that can help them grow and succeed. Agencies and Departments from across the federal government have collaborated on the site to ensure that users have access to many programs and resources they might not otherwise be able to find, as well as complementary resources from other providers. The site offers easy to use, step by step tools for starting or growing a business, starting or expanding exporting operations, getting disaster assistance, finding opportunities, and more. BusinessUSA is also a place business owners can go to get information about the new health care law.
Symposium Offers Cutting Edge Information
Created on November 21, 2013
The 2013 Rainbow PUSH Coalition & Citizen Education Fund Public Policy Institute & Media and Telecommunications Symposium was held Nov. 15 at the Capital Hilton Hotel in Washington, DC.
The annual event titled "The Future of Media: Policies, People and Players," presented cutting edge information about racial diversity in the media landscape and how to think more broadly about media policy. It also covered recent strides in telecommunications and how to bridge the "digital divide."
"The information shared during this symposium is necessary for all Americans to know, as we seek to change the tide to a multi-cultural, multi-racial progressive agenda," said Martin King, Chairman, Rainbow PUSH Coalition. "We want those attending to go back to their communities and spread a message of hope and responsibility."
Kimberly Marcus, Associate Director for the Office of Legislative, Education & Intergovernmental Affairs at the Minority Business Development Agency (MBDA), was one of the panelists in the "Tele-everything: Broadband and Remote Access to Energy, Health and the Economy," session.
Securities and Exchange Commission's Business Forum
Created on November 18, 2013
I am pleased to invite you to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) 2013 Government-Business Forum on Small Business Capital Formation to be held on Thursday, November 21, 2013, from 9:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m., at our headquarters at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549.
Similar to last year, the focus of this year's forum will be The Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act, which was legislation enacted last year to encourage small business growth and startup funding by increasing the ability of small businesses to raise capital and by lessening certain regulatory requirements for individual investments in new businesses. Under Title VII of the JOBS Act, the SEC is required to conduct outreach to inform several business communities, including minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses, of the changes made by the Act.
Army Veteran Finds Valued Mission
Created on November 8, 2013
Every day I go to work wearing a small pin on my coat's lapel. The pin is black and gold with a white star in the center. Although the pin is no larger than half an inch, it represents more than 26 years of military service.
I retired from the U.S. Army approximately one and a half years ago. Leaving the organization that I credit with instilling tremendous values in me was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. Honestly, I was petrified to leave and face a world outside of the disciplined parameters that made up my Army life.
I admit I had a complete military career. I served in numerous overseas deployments. I served as a mentor, a leader and I had great mentors and leaders who will forever be a part of my life as well. So, in reality, I was ready to move-on and share my knowledge as a veteran in another capacity.
SelectUSA Investment Summit Concludes with a Focus on Forging Stronger Global Business Alliances
Created on November 7, 2013
Secretary of Commerce Penny Pritzker wrapped up the inaugural SelectUSA 2013 Investment Summit, following two high-impact days of meetings and discussions among senior government officials, major business executives, global economic experts and U.S. economic development officials about strategies to increase foreign direct investment (FDI) in the United States.
Secretary Pritzker also opened the final day of the Summit, where she announced changes to the eligibility requirements for the Manufacturing Council that will allow representatives from U.S. subsidiaries of foreign-owned or controlled firms to become members. The expanded eligibility rules will add new perspectives to the Council, which advises the Commerce Secretary on policies and initiatives to increase FDI in the U.S. manufacturing sector, including SelectUSA.
