News 12 at 6 o'clock / Tuesday, April 23, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- Questions arise after a weekend wedding hosted by GRU President Dr. Ricardo Azziz. The festivities included the use of a university shuttle bus to transport guests to and from the home.
The Azziz family will pay for using the bus, and it's a service officials say is available for any campus group that asks.
Azziz's state-owned three-story home is what some might call a perfect place for a wedding.
"I don't care if a wedding is on school property, it is not a school function. Students weren't at the wedding," said GRU student Kristina Harper.
Harper is referring to the recent wedding for Azziz's niece, Breanna Breckham, at the president's home. A 20-passenger GRU shuttle bus, four GRU officers and one police car were used in the wedding.
"There's a lot of things that if you used the shuttle would make it easier. A wedding is not a school function," said GRU student Jacob Sharff.
Rules say the GRU president is allowed to have family weddings at his home. School officials told News 12 the shuttle bus can be used for non-sponsored school events on campus for a fee.
"If he really wanted people to have transportation, he could've got a limo," said GRU student Ariel Lagman.
"If you're using a shuttle bus, you are taking advantage of the situation. I think he did that," Harper said.
News 12 obtained invoices that show the school charges GRU Medical Center $36 an hour to transport employees from Kroger to work. Documents also show the school charges other university departments for shuttle use.
"I think all this is well warranted because of all the things he's done since becoming president," Sharff said.
He says students are still sour about the name change, the vanishing ASU logos and now, this wedding debacle.
"It keeps building, and he is only making it worse for himself," Sharff said.

Hello Everybody,
We are in the Granite countertop industry and do a lot of 2d drawings.
Some how our software key on our drawing program (logotag) got lost.
To make a long story short we decided to give QCAD a try...
I really start enjoin working with QCAD.
We Import lots of DXF Sink file from the manufactory (Blanco, Kindered, Perl etc) Somehow we have to Offset all the sink by 5mm - 8mm,
I know it has nothing to do with qcad but I would like to know if there is an easier way to offset a Sink than using the Parallel with Distance tool and offsetting line by line??
I also have tried the Offset OQ tool but this is not working at all.
How can I check if all the lines are connected? Most of the time I have to zoom in all the way and check if they are connected, i'm sure there must be a tool for it I just don't know where to find it..
Would be great if I could find some answers here in this chat room..
Thank you

FARMINGTON — Generals, nurses, soldiers, photographers, doctors and even Harriet Tubman visited Henry Wilson Memorial School on Feb. 14, when the sixth graders put together a Civil War Wax Museum.
The students spent a month researching a Civil War historical figure and writing a research paper. Once their research was complete they were encouraged to create a costume and artifacts to go with their person.
During the Wax Museum event, students stood still as if they were true wax statues and when guests pushed their "button" they came to "life" and spoke facts about themselves. It was an amazing learning opportunity for these students.

Gunman Kills Three Brooklyn Musicians, Himself
UPDATED | A 29-year-old musician who had a dispute with members of an Brooklyn-based Iranian rock group shot and killed two band members and a singer associated with the group before killing himself, officials said.
Ali Akbar Mohammadi Rafie, 29 years old, used a .308 caliber rifle on his victims, who were all shot inside a three-story building in East Williamsburg, New York Police Department Spokesman John McCarthy said.
Shortly after, Mr. Rafie shot himself on the rooftop, police said. The rifle—which was likely transported to the home in a guitar case—was on top of his body and two shell casings were nearby, police said.
Two of the victims—guitarist Soroush Farazmand, 27, and drummer Arash Farazmand, 28—were brothers and members of the post-punk rock band the Yellow Dogs, said manager Ali Salehezadeh, of NeverHeard Inc. Singer Ali Eskandarian, 35, who performed with the band on a tour in March, was also shot and killed, said Ashley Ayers, the band's publicist from Requiem.
Mr. Rafie belonged to the Free Keys, Mr. Salehezadeh said. The two bands were acquainted with each other and had played some of the same events.
"Once he was kicked out of Free Keys for being problematic, the Yellow Dogs stopped associating with him as well," Ms. Ayers said.
Mr. Rafie's falling out with the bands came about a year ago, and was over his selling band equipment without knowledge of the other musicians, a law-enforcement official said.
"There was some dispute over theft. It was believed that he was depressed or upset about no longer being in the band," Mr. McCarthy said
The violence shook the indie music community.
The Yellow Dogs fled Tehran, Iran, in 2010 for the U.S. and found an instant audience. They were considered rising stars, playing South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, in 2010, and opening for the Black Lips at Webster Hall in April 2011.
The band's members told CNN that playing rock music is considered un-Islamic and therefore frowned upon in Iran. One member said in another interview that the band padded a room with Styrofoam to practice undetected.
The band appeared in the 2009 film "No One Knows About Persian Cats," about Iran's underground music scene, and had a song on the soundtrack. The film won an award at The Cannes International Film Festival.
All of the musicians arrived in the U.S. sometime in the past several years, police said. They eventually settled in an industrial section of East Williamsburg, at 318 Maujer St., which they also used as a practice studio and rooftop performance venue, according to their Facebook page.
On Monday morning, around midnight, Mr. Rafie gained access to the building's roof, Mr. McCarthy said. He went on to a third-floor terrace and fired a shot through the glass door leading into the living room, striking Mr. Eskandarian in the head, Mr. McCarthy said.
Mr. Rafie entered a third-floor bedroom and shot Arash Farazmand in the head, Mr. McCarthy said. He made his way to the second floor, where he entered another room and shot Soroush Farazmand while he was sitting on a bed, Mr. McCarthy said.
Mr. Rafie then fired in the direction of another bedroom, striking Sasan Sadeghpourosko, 22, twice in his right arm, Mr. McCarthy said.Mr. Sadeghpourosko was in the room with his brother—they both fled the house and called 911. Mr. Sadeghpourosko was taken to Elmhurst Hospital where he was treated and released.
The gunman then went back to the third floor, where he encountered a 28-year-old vocalist of the Free Keys who was hiding in a bedroom closet, police said.
Mr. Rafie kicked open the closet door told the man, "I'll kill you," the official said.
The vocalist told police he tried to reason with Mr. Rafie and pleaded for his life when the gunman began firing, Mr. McCarthy said. The vocalist told police he grabbed the gun, and during a struggle, the magazine fell out, Mr. McCarthy said.
Mr. Rafie then went to the roof "where we believe he commits suicide," NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly said.
Police also found a man and woman hiding in a room, Mr. Kelly said. The two were visiting from Puerto Rico and are in the U.S. Coast Guard Reserve.
Police were trying to determine how he obtained the gun.

Sage at the Hart Witzen Gallery
Yep, it's true. The owner double-booked the main venue area at the Duck for January 31 and the records look like the other event booked it first. Fortunately, the folks next door at the Hart Witzen Gallery are working with us and making it possible for us to move the show there. No major changes just changing the show time from 9:00 to 10:00 to work around the gallery's schedule. A big room but doesn't hold quite as many as the Duck so everyone should consider advance tickets (available online, by mail order, or at Manifest Records in Charlotte)
We like your reflections on the past year, Nick. Sage gave us a great start in 2002 and it's looking like he's gonna do the same in 2003. Tickets are selling as we speak. People are coming from Greensboro, Asheville, Wilmington not to mention South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee.

Unwieldy and overflowing with characters, Marvel's "The Avengers" fails to create tension - much less sustain it over the course of its two-hour, 20-minute runtime.
Joss Whedon, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly" scribe, directs this enterprise, pens its script, and struggles to shoehorn a half-dozen humorous lines into reams of exposition and gobs of CGI'd action.
The plot, a hot mess of super-conflicts and not so super confrontations, favors nostalgic comic book readers. Movies supposedly setting the stage for this one include: two "Iron Mans," the last "Incredible Hulk," "Captain America" and especially "Thor." Having seen them all, I felt equipped to follow the "Avengers," but found plenty to confuse me.
Natasha Romanoff/ Black Widow, introduced in the second "Iron Man" film, is played by Scarlett Johansson. Here, as there, she serves as dangerous eye-candy, disabling her attackers with well-placed kicks and conquering viewers with a pucker of her bountiful lips. Close-ups lavished on both Johansson's lovely face and shapely derriere, dispel any doubt these films are calibrated for adolescent males of all ages.
As the film opens, Asgard's disgraced princeling Loki (Tom Hiddleston), slips the bonds of Asgard to pursue the tesseract, a glowing cube of energy. Loki needs the cube to open a portal through space, allowing him to introduce alien warriors to conquer Earth. After stealing the cube from SHIELD (a shadowy organization run by the eye-patched Nick Fury played by Samuel L. Jackson), Loki is confronted by his hammer-wielding brother Thor (Chris Hemsworth) who desires peace with mankind, and also by smart-ass billionaire, Tony Stark/Iron Man (Robert Downey, Jr.).
In addition to Black Widow, Iron Man and Thor, over the next 60 minutes, Fury will gather Captain America (Chris Evans) -- a fuddy-duddy functioning as SHIELD's conscience, Bruce Banner/the Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) a tortured being and the film's most intriguing character, and eventually Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner) - a bow and arrow sharpshooter who we were first introduced to in "Thor."
In the Marvel Comic book universe, a gathering of superheroes must be tested and retested in battles that remind me of the "rock, paper, scissors," game, since each one is ultimately vulnerable to the other's powers and abilities. All this grandstanding ought to be more fun, but it's largely sound and fury that fails to drive the plot forward or to expand our knowledge of the players.
This means the film bets all its chips on a finale that includes aliens atop flying jet skis and humongous snake-dragon hybrids. While Loki is determined to subjugate all humans to his will, the film doesn't share the invader's reasons for joining him.
After 30 minutes of watching the demolition of Manhattan for the umpteenth time in the umpteenth film, we're left with the realization that this derivative effort is but the first of a franchise bereft of new ideas. Who will avenge us?

Sarasota police claimed to be 'bum hunters,' ACLU says
Published: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 11:47 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 27, 2012 at 7:11 p.m.
SARASOTA - Bum Hunters.
Transcript of Sarasota police messages provided by the American Civil Liberties Union
The dispute between City Manager Tom Barwin and American Civil Liberties Union spokesman Michael Barfield got personal Tuesday at a news conference held by the ACLU.
Barfield called Barwin out for leading a "war on the homeless" that he says has crossed the lines of legality.
Barwin in turn challenged the ACLU to raise $500,000 next year to help the homeless. Barwin also said if the ACLU sues the city again over its response to homelessness, the organizations should put its legal fees toward helping people on the streets.
Barfield would not comment at the conference about further litigation against the city.
"We'll see about that," Barwin said.
The city manager said that Barfield regularly goes on "fishing expeditions" into city records, exploits an incident as indicative of a pattern, then sues the city and collects legal fees. Barwin said that Barfield has a history of misrepresenting the truth and pointed to a previous perjury conviction.
"We take the information from that source with a grain of salt," Barwin said.
That's what two Sarasota police officers jokingly called each other when talking about dealing with homeless people in the city, according to documents of police computer messages the American Civil Liberty Union released Tuesday.
"Im the bum hunter tonight son!!" one officer stated.
"Ur a nerd and gonna get beat up by a bum when wake up," an officer responded.
Later, the officer joked about playing a prank on "bum hunters" by dressing up as a "bum" in a wig, camo jacket and carrying a bottle of rum.
Those messages were the centerpiece of a news conference the ACLU held outside City Hall to chide Sarasota for what the group deemed its "war on the homeless."
City officials deny any such war on the homeless exists, and point out several services Sarasota offers to help the homeless.
Michael Barfield, legal chairman of the local ACLU chapter, argued that the direction from City Hall has fostered harassment of the homeless. The organization is embroiled in a class-action lawsuit it filed against the city in April, claiming Sarasota used the trespass ordinance to single out homeless people.
Barfield said the "juvenile" electronic messages show police do not respect the dignity and rights of the city's most needy and he asked for the department to discipline the officers and hold sensitivity training.
Police Capt. Paul Sutton watched as Barfield read off parts of police messages.
"If true, it'll be investigated. It's not conduct we condone," Sutton said of the "bum hunters" comment.
Sutton brought a stack of his own documents to the news conference. They listed homeless statistics from 2004 to the present, including how many times officers have referred homeless people who were intoxicated to social services rather than arrest them — 946 — or connected people with mental heath issues with such help — 470.
"We arrest on conduct, not on social status," Sutton said.
Since August, city commissioners have asked police for downtown vagrancy reports around Five Points Park, which was the center of controversy last year when the city removed park benches where homeless people often slept.
Commissioners also asked police to report arrests linked to the homeless at "hot spots" in the past couple of months.
One of Sarasota's homeless strayed from his "office" — the green bench on First Street where Tuesday's newspaper sat beside a filled backpack — to attend the news conference a half-block away.
After local advocates and ACLU members spoke, James Franklin Jr. raised his hand.
"What about those of us who are able to go to work but can't find work — and they call us bums?" asked Franklin, 54, who said he has lived in Sarasota his whole life and ended up homeless five years ago.
His question seemed aimed at the entire group gathered to watch as the city's troubles with the homeless continue to unfurl — a topic that returned to the forefront after a sergeant arrested a homeless man on Nov. 11 for charging his cellphone at Gillespie Park.
No one offered Franklin a straight answer.
The majority of officers are great, ACLU speakers and former Sarasota mayor Richard Martin were quick to point out during Tuesday's gathering.
Martin stepped up to the microphones after the ACLU and said he was not happy to be there.
He has worked on the issue in Sarasota for more than a decade and says the city still is not listening to the needs of the homeless, despite having the resources for change — wealth, business knowledge and grass-roots efforts.
Martin was previously executive director of the Suncoast Partnership to End Homelessness, an organization that was supposed to pull the pieces together.
Instead, it was "defunded," he said.
City Manager Tom Barwin, who also attended the news conference, has said Suncoast's funding is one of many things he is looking into as he tries to evaluate the situation.
Barwin said the idea of the city waging a war on the homeless is ludicrous. Rather, Sarasota's large safety net and wealth of services likely draw homeless to the area, he said.
But the city manager said that if police officers are acting inappropriately Sarasota will not ignore it.
"If there is an individual who is communicating, thinking, behaving in that manner then certainly that is something that needs to be addressed," he said.
Franklin, the homeless man who spends his days sitting outside City Hall, says he knows Barwin, who started as city manager in early September. They wave to one another as Barwin leaves his office and walks past Franklin's.
"He's doing the best he can," Franklin said. "But he came into a tough situation."

Wild Sockeye Salmon and Warm Vegetable Salad
Among other vegetables, todays recipe features artichokes. The ancient Egyptians placed great value on this once-exotic vegetable, which the Greeks and Romans employed as a digestive aid.
In fact, artichoke possesses clinically proven choleretic (bile stimulating) and digestion-enhancing powers that make artichoke extract popular in Europe for mild indigestion.
Likewise, extracts of the vegetable have proven highly beneficial in clinical trials of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Artichoke extract has also been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels significantly, probably because it blocks synthesis and promotes elimination of cholesterol. And in test tube studies, artichoke flavonoids prevent LDL-cholesterol oxidation, which typically reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
In several European countries, artichoke extracts are prescription drugs for liver disorders. In animal studies, the flavonoid antioxidants in artichoke leaf extract reverse damage done by harmful chemicals in liver cells.
But the best way to benefit from artichoke is to enjoy it regularly as a delicious food!
Note: If you're not keen on artichokes, use mushrooms instead.
Wild Sockeye Salmon and Warm Vegetable Salad
Serves 4
2 cans (7.5 oz or 6.5 oz) Sockeye Salmon traditional pack or 2 cans (6.5 oz) skinless-boneless Sockeye Salmon
3 tablespoons organic extra virgin olive oil

9 oz roasted peppers in brine, drained
6 oz grilled artichokes in brine or oil, drained (non-grilled are fine, too)

Sea salt and organic black pepper
1 pound mixed greens, such as rocket (arugula), watercress, and spinach

Woman accidentally shoots fiance at gun range
Hot casing went down her shirt, she flinched and fired
Published: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 5:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, January 26, 2013 at 5:07 p.m.
A man was accidentally shot in the leg by his fiancee at a firing range this afternoon, says the Manatee County Sheriff's Office.
The man and woman were among a large group of people shooting at Manatee Gun and Archery Club in Myakka City about 2 p.m. The woman was firing a Taurus 1911 .45-caliber pistol when a casing flew from the gun and landed inside her blouse.
The woman flinched, trying to keep the hot casing off of her skin by bending over and swatting the casing out of her blouse. As she did this, she unintentionally brought the firearm in, pointing it down at her fiance's leg as she accidentally fired it.
The bullet hit the man in his right thigh, passing through his leg.
The man was immediately treated and transported to Manatee Memorial Hospital for more treatment. His wound is not life-threatening; he is expected to be discharged from the hospital later today.
Deputies ruled it was an accidental shooting after interviewing a person they say was an independent witness at the gun range and several of the people in the group, who all gave information consistent with the story from the man and woman.
No charges are being filed, the sheriff's office said.
The man and woman's names were not immediately released.
Staff at the gun range referred questions to the gun club's president, who has not yet been reached for comment.

- Great Little GunThis is a great little gun for what I use it for, which is plinking and target shooting. It was insanely powerful, good weight and accurate right out of the box, penetrating both sides of a soda can at 10 meters (approx. 33 feet), aiming dead on. Of course the slide doesn't move, it has no external moving parts and the magazine is built into the grip. It is nicely molded and looks realistic from a distance. If one reads the description and does research before one buys, then one should not expect anything more than what it is, and not be surprised that it isn't. For meeting expectations, five stars.
- The stupidity of some people amazes me.The first thing I want to say, is that I have the full size version of this gun, that has a metal slide, an abs lower body, and a removable 16 round mag. After about 3 months of using my gun, something internal must have broke, because the only way I could fire the gun in double-action was by turning it upside-down and pulling the trigger with my pinky. In an attempt to fix this problem, I unscrewed the two screws on either side of Hammer-end of the slide, and discovered that the metal piece keeping the hammer from entering the slide, had split in two, due to use. I was unable to fix the problem while maintaining my gun's ability to fling plastic, so my gun is now a dust collector that I will show my children.
The title of this review, is due to some of the other reviews I have read about this compact version. It appears as though some of the people that bought this gun looked at this gun's online picture, and immediately selected, "add to cart". It surprises me that some people write, "I was disappointed to see that there was no removable mag", especially if they bought the gun from this site, where Shorty clearly lists that the gun has an internal mag. It's also funny to me how many people say, "This gun is not very realistic". People. You have paid 50 dollars for a gun with 470 fps. If looks and a moving slide really matter that much, invest AT LEAST 10 dollars more and buy the moving slide version of this gun. And if you want really real realism, buy a $100 blowback. I personally feel that the purpose of reviews is to inform other airsofters of things the website DOESN'T tell them.
Oh, and just to sum it up, this gun (at least the full size version) performs absolutely amazing with .40 gram bbs. The range is incredible.
- m1911got this gun the other day and right out of the box i was skeptical. the weight of it wasn't too bad but not realistic at all. the gun length is so small. i just wasn't getting my hopes up for anything special. i decided to go out and shoot it some so i opened the grip and noticed that there is no magazine, just an area in which to put the 12 bbs that it can carry and once again was very disappointed. so i loaded it and shot it and this is where the 3 stars came from. the fps is amazing. it definitely seems that the 470 fps listed here is right. all in all if you just want power, not realism or practicality, then this gun is for you.
- good cheap heavy funthis gun is not for collectors, sorry, no moving slide. o well,
this thing is heavy for a what it is. that's good to me.
seems though only weak point i can find would be the handle cover may break over time. my fix for that is remove the spring or trim it. ... this gun is the better version of the crossman airmag c11, but better... i like that reloads are fast for me (i have a speed loader). good and accurate with .25 and maybe .2, but .12 go all over the place. that's bad ... like aiming at someone's food and hitting them in the head.
so to cap it up:
intimidating (go with chrome)
loud - very loud - my friends say it sounds of death
hits the mark with .25
can take being dropped
sights not adjustable (i didn't need to though)
sights suck at night
shouldn't use .12 (trust me)
- Pretty goodIf you don't care about how realistic this gun is, then it's a great side arm, but if you do care try for something else
- Amazingamazing gun, powerful, fun, and an affordable gun
- Not realistic at allwhen i first time i picked up the gun, i first noticed the weight. It has great weight. But it's just not realistic at all. The slide and hammer do not move at all, the slide grip comes off very easy and is hard to get back on. Overall i would not recommend this gun.
- good... at least for a while This gun is very good, at least for the first month or so. when i first opened the box and pulled the gun out i felt i had made a great purchase. then i realized the grip was plastic. also i realized that there was no slide; very unrealistic. this is where i became disappointed. the grip slid out and i realized there was no clip. you load 12 bbs into the grip; the fact that there is no clip makes it very hard to reload. after using the gun for a while my hopes were restored. this gun is very powerful i loved it and would rather use it in wars than my sniper. soon my hopes were crushed once more. the grip broke off making the gun very uncomfortable to use and made it look very unprofessional and even more unrealistic. over all this gun is not very impressive.

Old English, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch wind and German Wind, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin ventus.
A word from an Indo-European root that also gave us Latin ventus, the source of vent (Late Middle English) and ventilate (Late Middle English). Winnow, windwian in Old English, is to use the wind to separate grain and chaff. To get wind of something comes from the idea of hunted animal picking up the scent of a hunter. The phrase wind of change was used by Harold Macmillan, British prime minister 1957–63, during a speech he made in Cape Town in 1960: 'The wind of change is blowing through this continent, and, whether we like it or not, this growth of [African] national consciousness is a political fact.'

This post title depicts the atmosphere in our XTREME FITNESS Makeover. Two weeks in and attitudes have changed from timid to I CAN DO THIS! Workouts are changed to ensure no two are alike and better yet they are productive and challenging. Thankfully nobody has puked which is really good because day one they learned that their trainers don't clean up puke. Self-confidence and determination is beginning to ooze from their pore. Congrats to these hard working women and onto week 3! Pictures next week!
The title of this blog adequately describes what happened the first session of week 2. The participants are in this program to improve their fitness levels, body comps and lifestyle. All the while having individual goals in a group environment. Okay- So what the heck happened last night?!?! A few words come to mind; loaded for bear and challenge me with a butt kickin! The workout was absolutely owned by each and every one of them!!! However one person stood out in the crowd. Each and every component of her comps had improved. How about that for an individual WIN!!! If the energy, dedication and 'want to' stays at this level nothing less than sucess will be gotten by all. HOOAH about sums it up. :)
If you are following this blog please help me cheer these gals on. They absolutely rocked their group workout this morning! Energies were high and with obvious determination they powered though RIP TIDE. In the coming hours I am sure they will be icing, foam rolling and stretching! It's a good thing we covered those 3 very important revovery items. :) If things continue as they are now there is no doubt what so ever that goals will be met and every one of these ladies will continue their journey. Check ya later and have a great weekend!
Although this was our first session these women were impressive. Following body comps and introductions the majoritiy participated in an Intro To Kettlebell Session. Doing so prepared them for what's coming down the pipe. The others rocked a water rower/kettlebell circuit. Each group is assigned a trainer. A portion of the training session is set for the group to discuss that days lession. FB groups allow us to break out with our coaching for some individual team coaching. It hasn't happened yet but I suspect a bit of team competition is in our future. At least I hope it does.... nothing wrong with some good old fashioned (fair) competition, right? After all there is a prize on the line!!!
Tomorrow we kick off a challenging six week program. 2 teams of 7 will work individually and as a group to rally up by improving their body comps and weight. The person who creates the most change will win a years membership to Balance Personal Training's FIT LAB. Throughout our journey I'll be blogging our progress. Let's all rally around all these hard working individuals!
A1 - Two handed swing :30
A2 - Goblet squat with overhead press :30
A3 - Alternate cleans :30
A4 - Alternate balistic rows :30
A5 - Get up ES :30 or TGU Alternate ES :30
Rinse Repeat
Labor Day, the holiday that indicates summer's over is just around the corner. Where has the time gone? Seems like were we just looking forward to the Memorial Holiday and about to kick off summer. The older I get the more I realize time is precious and fleeting. Fact is I feel as though I should be working right now. Throwing caution to the wind, taking a walk on the wild side, here I sit thinking. Thinking about time, goals and the fact I need to get my 'ducks in a row' so to speak. Goals... yeah- I am extremely goal oriented. I wonder if your ducks are in a row. Do you have a goal? A plan? Or do you just wing it. Wierd how this turned from me to you. Enough said about my procrastination for the upcoming fall. It's time to get off-line and get busy. Off the top of my head my goals are to allow for more personal down time and run the SPINNING 8 wk weight loss program and to be the best trainer I have ever seen. However most importantly I'm going to worry less. My belief is that if we give all we have to give the outcome of our efforts will be ok. Maybe not perfect but most likely not an epic fail either. Summers is almost over and I welcome fall and all the changes it may bring. :) Enjoy the last few weekends of summer and I hope your fall goals are achieved!
Some people are risk takers and some are not. Research shows it's not just a behavour but a personality. Are you a risk taker? It appears that I am although I never would have considered I was. My career in the fitness industry began in 1985 and through the years my personal accomplishments have been extremely rewarding. Recently I decided to 'go for it' and open my own facility. After all, why not? Do I want to always wonder about the 'what if's'? Bam... slam dunk! The birth of the FIT LAB was no longer a dream. We are a botique gym located in Athens, AL. We offer group-ex and personal training all in the 'Functional Fitness' venue. My staff consists of qualified, amazing dedicated people. Their beliefs replicate mine- I am one lucky lady!! This blog is not what we have to offer but to reiterate that dreams do come true.
My question is; are you a risk taker? It appears I am!
Did you know 50% of Americans set themselves a New Year's Resolution? My concept is people want to change themselves for the better. After all, most resolutions are geared towards personal improvements of some sort, which is pretty amazing! However the flip side of the coin is that 88% of all those who set resolutions from America and around the world fail. Sadly year after year disappointed minds tally up to about 156 million failed resolutions. However we can't beat ourselves up for not meeting the goal. Did you know there is a science behind all of this? Your brain can't handle New Year's resolutions. Why? Because what we need to stick to the resolution is willpower. The prefrontal cortex contains the brain cells that operate willpower. For example that area of the brain is also responsible for staying focused, handling short-term memory and solving abstract tasks. Bottom line is when we set a New Year's resolution our brain simply cannot handle it. To better understand how this works let say your resolution is at the start of the year, to quit smoking, start working out, and drop those extra 30 pounds you are carrying around. HOLD ON!!! BRAIN OVERLOAD and about the same as lifting a 300 lb barbell without any training!
To work your way to successfully meeting your New Year's Resolutions the key is to make your goal a habit.
4 of the most common New Year's resolutions are listed below and how to create the habit which will help in meeting your resolution:
- Resolution: Quit smoking vs. Habit: Only stop smoking that 1 cigarette you have every morning after breakfast.
- Resolution: Eat healthy food vs. Habit: Start substituting that 1 daily morning pastry for a healthy option such as fruit and yogurt.
- Resolution: Lose Weight vs. Habit: Every evening after work, do some time of exercise for 15-30 minutes.
- Resolution: Manage stress vs. Habit: Meditate for 2-3 minutes every morning after you wake up.
As you are successful in meeting the intermediate goals create new ones. For me life is about reaching goals. Create a plan, reach them, reboot and rebuild. I hope you too are rewarded by your successes!

1 Day 16 Monday, 7th February 2000.
2 (10.30 a.m.)
3 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Mr Irving and Mr Rampton, I have received a
4letter from I think it is a German lawyer called Gunter
5Murmann, the significance of which is not immediately
6obvious to me, but I thought I had better hand it down to
7you to make what you will of it. I know you have been
8receiving a lot of similar documents. Have a look at it
9when you have a convenient moment. Yes, Mr Irving?
10 MR IRVING: May it please the court. I have here this morning
11a witness on summons, Sir John Keegan. I also have a
12number of points that I wish to submit to your Lordship.
13I think, out of fairness to Sir John Keegan, we ought to
14hear his evidence first, and then I will put to your
15Lordship the various procedural points which I wish to.
16 MR JUSTICE GRAY: That sounds perfectly sensible. Let us have
17him straightaway.
18 MR IRVING: I call Sir John Keegan.
19 < SIR JOHN KEEGAN, sworn.
20< Examined by MR IRVING.
21 Q. [Mr Irving] My Lord, Sir John's evidence will go entirely to
22reputation and no other matter in this court. Sir John,
23first of all, to make it perfectly plain to the court, you
24are here pursuant to a witness summons, in other words,
25what used to be called a subpoena. Is that correct?
26 A. [Sir John Keegan] I was subpoenaed by you. I would also like to say that
1until this moment I have never met you, never spoken to
2you and never corresponded with you.
3 Q. [Mr Irving] That is precisely what I was going to ask next. In other
4words, I have not rehearsed with you in any way what
5I might or might not ask you by way of questions?
6 A. [Sir John Keegan] I would not have agreed to that in any case.
7 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes, of course.
8 A. [Sir John Keegan] Sir John, you are now Defence Correspondent for Telegraph
9Newspapers Limited?
10 A. [Sir John Keegan] Defence Editor.
11 Q. [Mr Irving] Defence Editor of Telegraph Newspapers Limited. How long
12have you held that post, please?
13 A. [Sir John Keegan] I was Defence Correspondent to begin with in 1986 and
14became Defence Editor about 1990.
15 Q. [Mr Irving] You have, it is fair to say, a very high reputation in
16England as what I might call an establishment historian?
17 A. [Sir John Keegan] Well, I was knighted for services to military history
18 Q. [Mr Irving] My congratulations and the congratulations of the court go
19to you for that very recent honour. It was in the New
20Year's Honours list?
21 A. [Sir John Keegan] Yes.
22 Q. [Mr Irving] I do not wish to detain you at all long, Sir John, here
23this morning. I am grateful to you for coming in spite of
24your disability. I just want to take you through a number
25of papers which I have handed to you a few minutes ago
26going back to 1980. I believe your Lordship also has that
1small clip of them?
2 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Yes, I do. Thank you very much.
3 MR IRVING: Do you remember writing an article for The Times
4Literary Supplement in about April 1980?
5 A. [Sir John Keegan] Yes, I do not, because I review a great deal, but I am
6quite sure that I did write what is quoted here.
7 Q. [Mr Irving] Is it right that in that review you wrote -- this is a
8review of another book, not a book by myself?
9 MR JUSTICE GRAY: Well, both, is it not?.
10 A. [Sir John Keegan] I am sorry, I did not understand the question.
11 MR IRVING: This was not reviewing a book by me, was it? It
12was reviewing some other book.
13 A. [Sir John Keegan] If you say so.
14 Q. [Mr Irving] Is it right that you wrote the following words: "Two
15books in English stand out from the vast literature of the
16Second World War, Chester Wilmott, 'Struggle for Europe'
17published in 1952 and David Irving's 'Hitler's War' which
18appeared three years ago"?
19 A. [Sir John Keegan] Yes, and that is my general opinion. I think that, taken
20together, they are -- if I were to recommend to a starter
21two books which would explain the Second World War from
22Hitler's side and from the Allies' side, those are the two
23books I would choose.
24 Q. [Mr Irving] This does not, of course, mean that you endorse or accept
25all the views that I might be held to propagate in them or
26not, or otherwise?
1 A. [Sir John Keegan] Indeed not, because later on in the papers you have given
2me I reprove you for your lack of a moral point of view in
3your discussion of Hitler and of his status relative to
4Churchill and Roosevelt.
5 Q. [Mr Irving] Is it right to say that this opinion which you expressed
6in that review was not only publicly held but also
7privately held by yourself?
8 A. [Sir John Keegan] Yes. I often say you have to read Hitler's War.
9 Q. [Mr Irving] Can I draw your attention to letter No. 2 in the bundle?
10This is a letter from a man called Mr Alan Williams?
11 A. [Sir John Keegan] Yes, he used to be my editor at the Viking Press, my
12American publishers.
13 Q. [Mr Irving] Yes. The late Alan Williams was also my editor, of
14course, so he knew us both. Is it true that sometime
15early in 1980 you had a conversation with our mutual
16friend, Alan Williams, in which you commented on the same
17book 'Hitler's War'? Will you read, please, the middle
18sentences of the second paragraph? Does he state ----
19 A. [Sir John Keegan] "John Keegan is, as you may know, writing a book for us on
20the D-day invasion. While we were talking about it, he
21said that there were two general survey books that really
22stood head and shoulders above all the rest, one of them
23the Chester Wilmott and the other 'Hitler's War'".
24 Q. [Mr Irving] He did not know ----
25 A. [Sir John Keegan] "He did not know I had any involvement with the latter
26volume when he said this".

Almost every weekday after work and school, the entire Pacheco family -- grandparents, young adults, children -- crowd into their Fremont living room for their evening ritual: watching Univision.
The Spanish-language network hums for hours through the Pachecos' apartment, bridging three generations who watch and comment on its steady stream of news, soap operas and daily soccer highlights from Barcelona to Guadalajara.
"Hispanics watch television together," said Raul Rodriguez, general manager of KDTV-14, the Bay Area affiliate of the national Univision network. "You haven't been able to see that since the '50s or '60s on English-language television."
The station's cross-generational appeal -- to say nothing of the fact that Latinos soon will surpass whites as California's largest population group -- helped make KDTV's 6 p.m. broadcast to the Bay Area's highest-rated early-evening news show last year for adults between 25 and 54, beating English-language competitors such as KTVU, KGO, KNTV and KPIX.
Even as the national audience for local television news declined 6.5 percent last year, Spanish-language TV news has been holding its own and drawing younger, bilingual viewers in big metropolitan regions around the country, said Mark Jurkowitz, associate director of the Pew Research Center's Project for Excellence in Journalism.
"Univision is like a family," said Edgar Pacheco, 24, who lives with his parents, two sisters, a brother-in-law and baby nephew -- and just two apartments down from another sister's family that often joins the crew at dinner time. "It has information about what's happening here but also the countries we're from. We keep up with all the news in Mexico."
Broadcasting from the 41st floor of a San Francisco high-rise, KDTV executives say they keep families like the Pachecos in mind as they gather and report the day's news.
"We are the community we cover," said KDTV's news director, Carolina Nuñez, speaking between gulps of green tea just minutes before a recent 6 p.m. news broadcast. "We live it."
KDTV evening co-anchors Maria Leticia Gomez, originally from Argentina, and Leon Felipe Gonzalez, scooped up last year from a Univision bureau in Mexico City, are celebrities to many of the Bay Area's 1.2 million Spanish-speakers.
But 13 years after she took a seat in the anchor chair, Gomez still walks unnoticed through many Bay Area neighborhoods. And many of her colleagues in the television news business don't pay much attention to the station either.
Founded in 1975 and added to the Univision fold in 1992, KDTV for more than a decade has been in tight competition with its English-language counterparts.
Still, "we don't exist to them, in some sense," Gomez said.
According to Nielsen ratings, the English-language stations in 2012 also trailed a Cantonese-language broadcast in attracting the crucial under-55 demographic to the early evening news.
Nationwide, Univision was the only major TV network to grow prime-time audience among adults under 50, a 2011 Pew report said. Much of the network's recent focus has been to appeal to U.S.-born Latinos, not just their immigrant parents.
That means staying relevant to the more than half of Bay Area Latinos who speak Spanish at home but also speak English fluently. "They have choices to watch different stations," Gomez said.
The Bay Area's Latino community is among the most highly educated in the country and more likely to dine together at home than other families, according to census surveys -- making Univision's local and global news, futbol matches and dramatic telenovelas a living room backdrop that transcends generations and class.
KDTV was recently on what one of the station's journalists called "24/7 pope watch" in anticipation of the white smoke that emerged from a Vatican chimney announcing the new pontiff.
Before and after the announcement, reporters trolled San Francisco's Mission District and the South Bay for reaction from ordinary Spanish-speaking residents who are often invisible on English-language TV.
"Tonight we've talked to Mexicanos, Argentinos, Peruanos, Nicaraguenses and Salvadoreños," said reporter Flavio Lacayo, opening a segment on the new Argentine pope, Francis, the first from the Americas.
Gomez is herself a reflection of the pan-American interests of the Bay Area's diverse Latino population. Though born in Argentina, her on-air speaking carries little hint of her native country's telltale accent.
"The only time the viewers can tell I'm from Argentina is during the World Cup," when her fandom is impossible to mask, she said.
Gomez speaks the Spanish of her second home, Mexico City, where her family settled after fleeing Argentina's military dictatorship.
She learned English the same hard way many of her viewers did -- by being plopped into an American middle school in her early teens. She remembers her embarrassment of not knowing that "hi" in English means hello.
That experience guides her, she said, as she tells the stories of Bay Area residents in tough circumstances -- the migrant vineyard workers she visited in Napa County last fall, or the college students she profiled earlier this year who were brought to the country illegally as children.
The station puts an emphasis on explaining complicated issues such as U.S. immigration policy -- a story that the news station covers almost daily.
"We have a commitment and different relationship with the viewer," said Nuñez, the news director. "They're relying on us for the information they need to stay in the country. It's a responsibility we've taken really seriously."
Staff photojournalist Dai Sugano contributed to this report.

Simply the best

There is no other way to put this, but this motherboard is simply awesome. I have not had any of the other reported issues, or any issues at all actually. The motherboard runs flawlessly with my GTX580 sli setup and my xeon, with 32GB of RAM. No way to fault this board whatsoever. Possibly the best LGA2011 motherboard(some would say it's the Asrock X79 Extreme 11) and I love it. Top marks to ASUS!

Spring 2013 Ensemble and Recital Series: Matthew D'Amico, bass
New School Jazz student Matthew D'Amico (bass) presents his senior recital.
"My band and I will be performing some music by Herbie Hancock, Jaco Pastorious, Jimi Hendrix, and Johnny Cash. Each song that I choose has a connection to my life somehow and I will be putting my own style into it."
"My name is Matthew D'Amico and I'm a Senior at The New School of Jazz and Contemporary Music. I've been studying the bass guitar in this program for the past 4 years and have matured and grown both personally and musically with my studies.I began playing the bass in 5th grade and never really put it down. As a youngster I studied with Peter Prisco and Marcus McLourine to name a few Musicians who encouraged me to pursue my dreams at a more serious level. At the New School I was fortunate enough to continue my studies with many other great professionals including Jeff Carney, Jimmy Owens and Adam Holzman, to name a few, who enabled me to learn solid skills and to capture my own style, which I have become very proud of. Upon graduation I plan to pursue a career in music and hope to take with me many great memories and skills learned at The New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music."

ST. Louis -- If Colin Kaepernick felt any particular pressure after the 49ers' last two disastrous performances, it didn't show Thursday night. At least it didn't to those who watched from afar.
"I know Colin, and I know him pretty well," tight end Vernon Davis said after the 49ers' 35-11 victory over NCF West rival St. Louis. "He has a lot of emotion, and he shows his emotions to us. He hides it for everybody else, but I see it.
"This game really mattered. It was important. If we had lost, Kap would have really been down on himself. Now he can go home, get a good night's rest and wake up feeling great tomorrow."
Kaepernick's numbers -- at least the ones usually cited to rate a quarterback's performance -- were not gaudy. He completed all of 15 passes in 23 attempts for 167 yards. Those 15 completions, though, included two touchdown passes: one of 20 yards to wide receiver Anquan Boldin that gave the 49ers their first lead; and 12 yards to Davis to stretch that lead to 21-3.
He also scrambled three times for 11 yards and escaped several near misses by keeping his cool in the face of Rams defenders chasing him.
The most important number might have been the number of interceptions: 0.
Kaepernick was certainly not sharing his emotions after the game. He answered questions in as few words as possible. He conceded the team showed a different level of focus and the reason was simple: "We knew we had to win."
Asked if the mounting criticism after a 1-2 start bothered him, Kaepernick demurred, "No, we know the talent we have on this team and what we're capable of."
Kaepernick was coming off two lackluster performances in which the offense looked woefully lost.
He gave notice early on that Thursday would be different. He led the 49ers to two touchdowns drives of 80 yards, one in seven plays and the other in eight as they held a 14-3 halftime lead, while building a tidy advantage in time of possession, by 3½ minutes.
He completed 8 of 12 passes for 104 yards -- 3 yards less than Frank Gore accumulated rushing -- and never appeared flustered in the opening 30 minutes.
Perhaps more telling was the fact the 49ers went three-and-out only one time in the first half, and that after an offensive pass interference penalty against Boldin. He compiled a 121.5 passer rating for the half and a 115.7 for the game.

ANTIOCH -- A 42-year-old man who was shot on consecutive days, the second shooting fatal, was identified Monday as Antioch resident Billy Burks, according to the Contra Costa County Coroner's Office.
Police found Burks shot in the head on his apartment porch in the 2100 block of Spanos Street on Saturday at about 9:30 a.m. He later died in the hospital.
A day earlier, on Friday at 11 a.m., Burks was shot in the leg and a bullet grazed his back at the same location, police said. He was treated at the hospital and later released, but refused to talk to police about the shooting. Authorities said the man had a criminal history but would not elaborate.
Burks' uncle, also named Billy Burks, said he tried to get witnesses to talk to police, but failed.
"Won't nobody talk," the uncle said Monday. "I don't want to see no one else's child get hurt."
Authorities have not yet identified a 54-year-old man found stabbed to death inside a home in the 500 block of Rodeo Circle around 3 a.m. Sunday.

There are hundreds of different types of hats! Just stop and think: how many hats can you think of off the top of your head (no pun intended)? Caps, beanies, straw hats, fedoras, pork pies, westerns, and so on. But a lot of times these are broad categories. For example, caps can include baseball caps, berets, yacht caps, newsboy caps, etc. How can someone keep track of the different types of hats when there's so many? You don't…that's why you have Hats in the Belfry! We're here to keep things in order, so if you ever have any questions feel free to ask us what the difference is between the various hats in our online hat store. For now, let's look at the snapbacks and fitted hats. What's the difference between snapback and fitted?
Snapback and Fitted Caps
For starters, snapbacks and fitted hats are both caps. If you own a baseball cap, grab it and look at it. If not, use this one as an example: Kangol Ventair Space.
This is an example of a fitted hat because of the back of the hat. It is, as its name suggests, fitted to your match your head. When you buy one of these, you should have your head measured to know what size hat will most comfortably fit. For some, this is the preferred of the two (snapback/fitted) because they know it will fit them perfectly and the back of their head will not itch as it would with a snapback. This brings us to snapbacks and strapbacks, the all-in-one of hats. When you buy a snapback/strapback, they will have various sizing strap-in (or snap-in) locations. A strapback hat's back looks like this:
Snapbacks or Fitted?
When buying a baseball cap, you have to choose between snapbacks, fitted, and strapbacks (snapbacks, but with a strap instead of snaps). A snapback hat can be worn on multiple people because of the quick, easy adjustments you can make with them. A fitted hat, however, is (as the name suggests) fitted to your head. These hats are meant to be worn by you specifically. We recommend fitted hats because when worn, the hat is snug, but comfortable. Fitted hats can also be worn forwards or backwards, depending on your style. Wearing a snapback backwards would result in your forehead touching the plastic material, which is not comfortable for any period of time. Snapback hats used to be the most popular because of the various designs, but fitted hats have since caught up in the trends.
To buy a fitted hat or strapback hat, use your head and browse our selection of men's baseball caps or our selection of women's caps.

Former SMU student acquitted in rape trial ready to move on, hopes to use experience to help others
The former SMU student who was found not guilty by a Dallas County jury this week during a publicized rape trial says he was humbled by his experience and is ready to move on.
Donald Cuba, 21, spoke to KDFW-TV (Channel 4) after being acquitted on Wednesday and said the verdict he had been waiting for for nearly a year "hasn't sunk in yet."
As our Melissa Repko has reported, Cuba was accused of sexually assaulting a female student in an SMU dorm in February 2012. After three days of testimony from the accuser, her roommate, trauma experts and friends of Cuba, the jury determined there was not enough evidence to convict Cuba.
"This was a big hurdle to overcome and now it's done," Cuba told Fox 4. "We're moving in the right direction on this, finally after a year and a half. I'm excited to get back to my life and maybe use these experiences to help other people in a similar situation."
Cuba, who was banned from campus in the fall, hopes to go back to school to complete his undergraduate degree in political science, he told Fox 4. It is not known yet if he will be able to do so, pending a disciplinary board hearing.

NEWMRKET — Spring has finally arrived, the trees are getting leaves, and flowers are appearing everywhere. It's almost time for the Newmarket Gardeners annual plant sale, coming up on Saturday, May 18, from 8 am to noon.
This year the plant sale will be in a new location, next to the Newmarket Library in the former Riverdale Auto building and parking lot at 66 Main St. in Newmarket, with thanks to Chinburg Builders, who own the property. The sale will feature many varieties of both sun- and shade-loving perennials, some shrubs, and a collection of native species. This is the Newmarket Gardeners' main fundraiser for the year.
The Newmarket Gardeners were formed in 1997 by a group of public-spirited citizens who wished to improve the appearance of Newmarket's public spaces. Their mission is to beautify the town, to inspire pride among its citizens and promote greater care for the landscape, both public and private.
They meet in the spring and fall on the 2nd Monday of the month. The next meeting is May 13 at 7 pm at the Newmarket Library. For any questions about the plant sale, or the Newmarket Gardeners, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
