Yet another packet of right-to-work bills has made an appearance, this time in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania legislators drafted House Bills 50, 51, 52 and 53 to become a "Right-to-Work" state. Ten different unions marched in downtown Chambersburg, Pa., in protest of the bill over the weekend. If passed, the bills would allow non-union members the same benefits that […]

Y'know, I quite like the conceit, and like... half... well, maybe half... of the verses. Not necessarily in the word order given, but still. It seems like if you chucked half of this and reworked the rest, it could be a decent poem.
Who was it who uttered the words "Only a human can create and judge great poetry?"Fuck, I honestly thought the Praying Mantis might be in with a shout.
I think it looks very dull when seeing it on paper while when read loud or being sung in an interesting way there would be some potential. There is too much concept to make it really bloody awful.Liest das denn keiner au�er mir?
Inspired by a nightmare I had recently...The Crawling DarkWhen winter comes a blowing, with it's cold and frosty breeze,The Crawling Dark comes creeping like a horrible disease.He gobbles up the greener grass and gloops on all the trees,He leaves his slimey blackness with it's sticky slug like sheen.He flows in all the rivers and he slips into your house,And when he's done his crawling there, he'll jump into your mouth! "Well I'm a common working man, with a half of bitter, bread and jam and if it pleases me I'll put one on you man... when the copper fades away."
In reply to:Inspired by a nightmare I had recently...
Inspired by a nightmare I had recently...
I can honestly say I'm glad I've never had a dream of Dogz ejaculating in my mouth.Culture, alienation, boredom and despair
They say that light spreads far and wide,And that it conquers the darkest tide,But evil lurks when the light shines,Upon the best of times and during work's deadlines,It creeps and crawls and bends and dives,To direct a spotlight upon what thrives,Which is typically called the "sweet deal",Outside closed doors truth remains surreal.� 2006 JACMySpace
A TW horror story for the Halloween season.It was another gloomy storm racked night,Outside the wind did howl.When on my screen I saw a flash,That made me frown and scowl.I clicked the icon, heart in mouth,And gasped in awful pain,The message came from Diamond Dogz,I knew it'd be inane."Dear Percy how I love your Poetry"The wizened fiend did crow,"Perhaps you'll come away with me,and live with me in Turkey?""Not I" I cried in mortal fear,Perhaps the beast was nigh,Observing through a telescope,Just waiting for his time.And then I saw a horrid face,Observing through the glass.The manic grin of partner Dave,He laughed and laughed and laughed..He smashed the glass and grabbed my arm,And dragged me to my doom,And now I write this warning,From a tiny empty room.So if you get a message,On a dark and stormy night,Please dear friends don't open it,Or you'll share my doom. "Don't see what I do not want to see,you don't hear what I don't say.Won't be what I don't want to be,I continue in my way."
It would've been ten times scarier had you titled it "Get Out Of My Ass! For The Love Of God, GET OUT OF MY ASS!"But, you know, I guess there's something to be said for subtlety.I'm a kidAnd I love CANDY!!!
Bats at night fly lowly through your arches,They would not be there if not for the love of starches,But oral fixations are hard to stop once started,Fragrance sprays are sold to those who frequently farted.So lick your long lollipops and hard English Toffee Bars,While you trick and treat old ladies as they empty candy jars,But remember ugly witches adore fat cats,Who are malodorous and attract black gnats.�2006 JACMySpace

SAN FRANCISCO -- The A11 Professional Football League has become a reality for two former Piedmont High coaches with lofty goals, which now includes luring quarterback Tim Tebow.
Kurt Bryan and Steve Humphries, co-founders of the league that will launch later this year with two showcase games, on Thursday officially announced the creation of a new spring football league they've spent more than three years pursuing.
The A11FL will play its first full season in the spring of 2015 and have eight teams, including the San Francisco Bay Area Sea Lions. ESPN will serve as the broadcast partner for the showcase games May 17 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., and June 5 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. It will broadcast games weekly in 2015.
Six of the eight teams were announced Thursday, with two more cities to be determined. There will be the Los Angeles Express, New Jersey Generals, Dallas Wranglers, Chicago Staggs and Tampa Bay Bandits.
Scott McKibben, a former executive director of the Rose Bowl, will serve as the league's chief executive officer and commissioner.
Their goal is to create a league that's complementary to the NFL and provides an affordable alternative for football fans with average ticket prices at about $30.
A home venue for the Sea Lions has not been found, but McKibben said they've explored playing at Stanford, Cal and the new Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara.
The league will not require use of the A11 offense that Bryan and Humphries co-created in 2007 when Bryan was the head coach and Humphries the offensive coordinator at Piedmont.
The offense utilizes two quarterbacks in a scrimmage kick formation (one quarterback lined up at least seven yards behind the line of scrimmage). That allows every player on the field to wear an eligible number (1-49, 80-99), and through a variety of shifts, all 11 players are potentially eligible to catch a pass.
The offense's use at the prep level was limited by a 2009 rule change by the National Federation of State High School Associations that required at least four players to wear numbers 50-79, making them ineligible to catch a pass. Piedmont appealed for the California Interscholastic Federation to not adopt the NFHS change, but it was rejected.
"With the amount of national support that the A11 offense had built up to that point and for us to present that and then get shut down was extremely disappointing," Bryan said. "To be here today, a new spring pro football league centered around the A11 offense, is a great thing for everybody, including the NFHS and the CIF."
With the league trying to get off the ground, signing Tebow, the former Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, would be a coup. He recently signed with ESPN to be a college football analyst.
"We have made an offer to Tim Tebow," McKibben said. "We've had probably three or four discussions with people in the Tebow camp."
Bryan, who will be a candidate for the Sea Lions coaching job, and Humphries agree that Tebow would be a great fit for the league and the offense.
"With everybody spread out, you have a 230-pound quarterback who can run and throw and run the speed option and the read option," Bryan said of Tebow. "He is the ideal A11 quarterback."
The league will look to fill rosters with college players who can't find a spot in the NFL. It hopes to line up its eight head coaches soon.

Hi guys
I was just thinking to myself how so easy it is to keep adding feature requests for QCAD to try to automate and make things easier for us all the time in the 'CAD' world. I for one am guilty of this, I can think to myself, oh - that `s a good idea and then just simply add a feature request.
I suppose in the ' commercial' world where we earn our money, everyone wants everything straight away these days and this reflects upon the 'need' for the products we use to become better, more efficient,faster etc... and the list goes on and on!
Getting the ' balance' here must be a difficult one indeed
Very often when I come across a drafting problem and in QCAD there isn`t a specialized tool for doing it for me - with some thought from my part and some searching on this forum there is usually a workaround I can use to get the job done and it`s in these times when I realize just how capable QCAD is and how fortunate we are to have this forum .
Anyway - just my thoughts...

The hottie Misty Anderson gives us a charming little outside show as she strips out of her sexy Aziani tank and shorts. Eventually she finds her way out to show off her amazing hard body. Misty has a real stand-out type of sexuality about her that shines through in these pics. She is exactly what you are dreaming of.
Today Misty Anderson stopped by, apparently straight from the public library she works at, to add another set to her collection on Aziani.com. If Misty really were a librarian, I can tell you she'd be the sexiest one on the planet. Instead I think she's just the latest nude internet sensation and we've got her.

LETTER: Development doesn't affect Forest Lake
Published: Monday, July 1, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.

Development doesn't affect Forest Lake
Dear Editor: I live in Forest Lake near 15th Street and Midtown. I don't understand how anybody that lives in this area can be against a development on Hargrove Road. It isn't going to be a high-rise and isn't going to surround their houses.
If you look around this neighborhood, there are several two-story houses for students to rent being built right now. When you see the "Now Leasing for the Fall" signs in the yards, you know they're directed at students. There are three-story apartments being built on Forest Lake Drive and 15th Street. There is construction going everywhere on 15th Street. I think that if people in this neighborhood want to protest, they're protesting the wrong development.
I've lived in student housing like Aspen Heights wants to build. It will be a great place to live. We would be lucky to get one built in Tuscaloosa. Instead of protesting it, people should be thankful that they want to help Tuscaloosa build back the rental housing that was lost in the tornado.

We love transparency in food labeling. FoodFacts.com believes that every consumer has the right to know exactly what's in the foods and beverages we're purchasing. It's necessary for so many reasons — from food allergies, to ingredient concerns, to the health requirements many consumers must adhere to under doctors' advice.
Often there are products introduced that we all feel good about — products with known health benefits that become trends almost instantly. Unfortunately, some mainstream manufacturers begin production and adulterate those healthy products, offering additional ingredients that consumers aren't expecting. Almond milk is a great example of this. An otherwise healthy trend, many brands of almond milk feature ingredients that health conscious consumers aren't comfortable with. It appears that the same may be true for coconut water.
iTi Tropicals, an importer of 100% pure coconut water in bulk, is alleging that as much as 15% of the imported coconut water contains added sugars that are not being declared on the product labels.
Lawrenceville, NJ-based iTi engaged an independent laboratory, Krueger Food Laboratories, to determine if commercially available coconut waters are properly labeled. "iTi is concerned that the continued sale of coconut waters with undeclared added sugars and other ingredients threatens to jeopardize consumer confidence in the category," according to a statement from the company. "iTi, therefore, feels it is incumbent on the industry to take proactive steps to put an end to this misleading practice. By releasing the summary of the results of these analyses, iTi hopes that retailers and brand-holders will strive to ensure the ingredients added to coconut water are properly labeled."
iTi released its survey of market data revealing that coconut water products with added sweeteners represent about 75% of the coconut water market.
"Consumers may not realize there are essentially two categories of coconut water products: (1) those with no added sugars and (2) those with added sugars. It may be challenging for consumers to identify all products with added sugars because testing by a reputable laboratory revealed that some of the sweetened coconut water products, which represent about 15% of the market, fail to declare added sugars," the iTi statement said.
The market leaders in the unsweetened category represent 25% of all volume sold, according IRI data, and include brands such as Coco Libre, Naked, Purity Organics, Zico, and Zola, which supply 100% pure coconut waters without added sugars declared on the label or found in the products, according to iTi.
"Consumers of these products are demonstrating an interest in the pure coconut water taste and the lower levels of total sugars they provide. As consumers continue to look for products without added sugars, we believe the unsweetened coconut water is poised for rapid growth. For that growth to occur, companies will need to properly label added sugars to allow consumers to distinguish the sweetened and the unsweetened varieties of coconut water. Unfortunately, our testing of coconut water beverages in the market has revealed that numerous brands that are not properly labeling their products with added sugars," the iTi statement said.
The added sugar category represents 75% of all volume sold and includes brands such as Vita Coco and Goya who combined represent 60% of all volume sold in the United States. These products declare the added sugars and generally contain more sugars than the 100% pure coconut water. For example, according to the product label of the market leader Vita Coco, it contains "less than 1% natural fruit sugar." While one percent may sound like a small number, it can represent approximately 25% of the total sugars in the product.
In addition, iTi identified 12 canned and bottled brands packed in Thailand that contain undeclared added sugars. These inexpensive added sugars sweeten the products and help mask the taste of the naturally occurring minerals in pure coconut water and in some cases are even used to replace coconut water sugars. The practice offers unfair economic advantages to the perpetrators; it also hurts iTi (which markets only 100% pure coconut water in bulk, as an ingredient, with no added sugars) and it also harms companies that properly label their products. This latter group represents approximately 15% of the total market and brings the total sweetened category to 75%, according to iTi.
This particular story goes beyond the adulteration of almond milk with ingredients like carrageenan, because that carrageenan is identifiable on labels. It's disturbing to understand that there are brands of coconut water avoiding the declaration of added sugar on their labels. This flies in the face of regulations, misleads consumers and adds to the already existing problem of sugar consumption. The last thing health conscious consumers need or want is to unknowingly purchase products that introduce more sugar into their diets. This study offers valuable insight on what can be going on behind a nutrition label that manufacturers don't want to reveal.

Google to Let Any Google+ User Land in Your Gmail Inbox
Gmail users will soon be able to send each other email – without knowing the other person's email address.
Under the new system, a Gmail user will only need to add another Gmail user to a "Circle" of contacts on Google+, the company's social network. According to a Thursday blog post by Google Product Manager David Nachum, the sender will then be able to send an email using only the other person's name.
Gmail users are automatically given Google+ accounts. The blog post said the change would take effect in coming days.
Essentially, the change will result in Gmail doubling as a Google+ messaging service and allow people you don't know to show up in your inbox. Your email address won't be displayed to people who send you a message through Google+, but will become visible if you reply. The system will be turned on by default, but Google said it would let users opt out.
According to Nachum's blog post, the change will also affect where emails are stored in a user's Gmail inbox. Emails from people you follow on Google+ will appear in your primary inbox; emails using the new system from people you don't follow will appear in Gmail's "social" inbox tab.
The Gmail changes are the latest examples of Google expanding its social network by more tightly integrating it with its most popular services. Previous moves include Google+ Hangouts replacing Google Talk for text and video chatting; Gmail contacts merging with Google+ circles; and Google+ comments replacing YouTube comments on the video-streaming service.

PULASKI COUNTY, Ky. (WKYT) - It started with a tip from a concerned student at Southwestern High School, in Somerset. Detective Bobby Jones, of the Pulaski County Sheriff's Office, said he was first made aware of it while at church over the weekend.
"There were some text messages going around concerning a school bombing and school shooting," Jones explained, it was the type of material that he and others will never take lightly.
He began researching the threats, and as it turned out the material was alarming.
"It was planned out. He had the times that he would detonate the bombs, the locations," described the detective.
Jones got a hold of the text messages Monday morning that he said were sent from a 15-year-old suspect. It talks about setting off bombs in morning as students are gathered waiting for class. It even went into detail about where they would be placed in the school's lobby, the bathroom entrance, the cafeteria, by the vending machines, and two by the gym doors. There was no indication of when the assault would take place, according to investigators.
The student even planned to shoot students in the legs so they couldn't run away, and then return to shoot them in the head. Detective Jones said the student elaborated to say he would wound himself to make it look like he was a victim.
"He'd also written out a story line in his notebooks," said Jones, "Talking about Columbine situations, Sandy Hook, and what he was going to bring and need."
"I did not hear about this! I'm shocked," reacted Freshman Jaycee Phillippi.
"It is very terrifying, it's like when I send my kids off to school, I'm sending them off to a war zone," added her mother, Jaymee Phillippi.
"There was no direct threat to any particular student. It was to student groups he felt like he was targeting other groups, popular kids, that kind of stuff," explained Jones.
So officers stood waiting for the suspect before the start of school on Monday, but he didn't show up. Instead, Jones tracked him down through his mother and then arranged to interview him. While being questioned, the student admitted to detectives that he was the one behind the messages, but he couldn't explain why he sent them.
"He made a comment in one of his texts that he was set and he had the plans ready to go, except he didn't have the weapons to carry it out," said Jones, although the suspect denied he would've done it when asked.
Detective Jones said the school building was never on lockdown because they found the teen suspect before school started. Investigators believe the teen was acting alone.
The juvenile was arrested and charged with first degree terroristic threatening, which is a class C felony. He is currently being held in the Adair County Juvenile Detention Center. The suspect's name is not being released because he is a juvenile. He will have a hearing at 9 a.m. on Tuesday.

The Los Altos City Council moved this week to scale back the benefits its five members receive.
The council unanimously voted Tuesday to stop providing life insurance and restrict reimbursements for dental expenses to members only. In addition, members who enroll in one of the city's health plans will have to pay the premiums of any dependents they choose to add.
The effort was spurred by Mayor Megan Satterlee, who said the benefits should reflect the amount of work that goes into being a council member.
"I believe -- for the city of Los Altos and the size that we are -- that we are a part-time council and I believe that our council meetings and how we schedule them should support the full-time employment of council members," Satterlee said. "It's why we don't have 11 a.m. meetings."
The city will pocket $300 annually by eliminating $25,000 life insurance policies for each of the elected officials, which cost $5 per month to provide. But it's not immediately clear how much the other measures will save.
The change in dental reimbursements means members will no longer be able to collect up to $1,090 per year for each dependent. City-provided health plans, meanwhile, range from $685 to $1,636 per month.
The city spent about $36,000 on council member benefits in the most recently completed fiscal year. However, annual expenditures have the potential to range from $18,000 to $124,635, according to a report by City Clerk Jon Maginot.
The council was quick to put life insurance on the chopping block.
"The purpose of life insurance is so that if you die unexpectedly, that loss of salary doesn't negatively impact your family," Satterlee said. "This coverage at $25,000 significantly exceeds the stipend we receive, so it doesn't seem to be in line with the intent."
Councilwoman Jeannie Bruins agreed.
"I have a hard time with council members being offered life insurance, because I don't think it serves the purpose it's intended to serve," she said.
But several council members balked at Satterlee's suggestion that other benefits should be similarly scrapped.
Councilwoman Val Carpenter, for instance, said the option to enroll in a city health plan allowed her to give up her job as a chief marketing officer and throw herself into the role of being an elected official.
"I really think it's important to offer at least the option to council members to have health benefits so that is not an obstacle to them focusing and making their first priority serving on council," she said.
Carpenter also questioned whether Los Altos needed to make drastic cuts when no other city of its size in Santa Clara County is doing the same.
"We're out on what I regard as the bleeding edge," she said. "In a budget of $30 million, we're talking about tens of thousands of dollars."
Satterlee said part of her objective was to weed out candidates who seek office solely because of the benefits.
"This is not an urban myth," she said. "I've had people explicitly tell me that's what motivated them to run for council. Honestly, I don't think that's a good reason to be on council."

Over President's Day weekend, the Sierra Nevada College snowboard team traveled to Mammoth for the United Sates Collegiate Ski and Snowboard Association Regional contest.
The competitors were welcomed with sunshine and soft snow, making the conditions more than ideal for the weekend's events, which included giant slalom, boardercross and slopestyle racing.
Challenged by rivals from Southern and Northern California schools, Sierra Nevada College (SNC) team members emerged victorious with the following results: Cameron Colenda placed first in GS and second in boardercross, while Ashley Vander Meer finished first and Jenise Spiteri second in both disciplines. Arielle Shipe earned third place in GS and fifth in boardercross. Slopestyle scores are still pending.
"Regionals was great," said Vander Meer. "All the other schools were really friendly. Definitely looking forward to nationals and a bit tougher competition."
The USCSA National Championship will take place in Sunday River ski resort, Maine, from March 6-11.
In order to participate for the national title, each team member must have four starts during the season. According to USCSA website, individuals must also compete in a regional event to be eligible. The regionals are the last requirement for team qualification.
Teams from all over the country will be present for this occasion, including the New York region, Mid-Atlantic region, Eastern region, Midwest, Western and Far West. At least 178 colleges are slated to compete.
The snowboarders will compete for the national title in the disciplines of boardercross, slopestyle, giant slalom and halfpipe.
"It is not as difficult as USASA growing up, but winning USCSA is definitely not easy," Colenda said. "I would love to win GS and boardercross at nationals and do decent in slopestyle. I'm very excited for Sunday River. Should be interesting."
The SNC snowboard team has brought home numerous titles in recent years, and this year's squad looks more confident and prepared than ever.

The new Knog Skink is a four LED unit in either red or white configurations and weighs just 56gr. It should retail for about $30, distributed by Cyclone Bicycle Supply . The silicon body seals the electronics from water and is available in 6 colours. As with all Knog lights, the light fits to seatposts or stays by wrapping the flexible loop around to the body. The Skink is obviously larger and more expensive than the wildly popular Frog, but new light runs on 2 AAA batteries, which are more readily available, cheaper, and last longer than the Frog's CR2032 batteries. Even better, you can buy rechargeable AAAs. Another nice feature is the battery life indicator light, a small auxiliary LED next to the on-button that stays illuminated when the battery life drops below 25%.
I built this wheel for Jake, one of the Seattle fixie stars. It's a Chub Hub, a double-sided fixed gear hub of massive proportions. The immense hub is constructed of carbon and aluminium with provision for cogs and track lockrings on both sides. The rim is a H+ Son, custom powdercoated black. Finished off with black DT Swiss Champion spokes and black brass nipples, the whole wheel is stealth. I thought I'd just cut the spokes and lace 'em, but I hate to leave things unfinished.

STATELINE, Nev. - The grass is in, the stage is on its way and organizers have decided on a name: the MontBleu Outdoor Events Center.
The first concert in what is planned to be a yearly summertime venue will be Saturday, June 30's Lake Tahoe Reggae Festival featuring eight bands. The venue will hold 4,200 and is in the former tennis court area between the hotel and much-talked-about loop road.
"We have four shows booked and I anticipate between six to 10 this summer," said the director of entertainment, Dave Davis. "The stage arrives around June 28, and it will unfold just like a flower."
The San Diego trio by way of Hawaii Pepper, the headliner of the Reggae Festival, made it big after a few years working small venues such at Tahoe Taps in Truckee and Hoss Hoggs in South Lake Tahoe.
"I'm really looking forward to bringing positivity to Tahoe and seeing our old stomping grounds," Pepper's Kaleo Wassman told Lake Tahoe Action. "For me and the boys, it's going to be great."
Also on the bill are New Zealand's Katchafire, Hawaii's J Boog and Hot Rain, Reno's Mark Sexton Band, UpRising and Keyser Soze and Sacramento's Squarefield Massive.
"I definitely am looking forward to seeing Katchafire," Sexton said. "I checked them out online and have become a big fan of theirs. I really like their style. It's very true and honest sounding reggae. I checked out J Boog, too. I really like that voice. I wasn't expecting that voice to come out of that guy."
All styles of reggae will be featured at the show.
J Boog plays dance hall music, which is a mix of straight-ahead reggae and hip-hop. Pepper is in the California reggae vein, which Sublime made popular crossing reggae and punk. Sexton plays R&B but touches on the doo-wop sound of early reggae. Katchafire is pure reggae.
"I'm really excited to see Katchafire because we played a show with some really good friends, Kora, who are also from New Zealand," Wassman said. "Katchafire in Hawaii is massive. They are a huge band and I have not had the pleasure of seeing them yet, so I am really looking forward to that."

This course was obviously either created by a lefty, or someone that wanted to challenge his/her anny skills.
It is not a good design, there are several holes that play up/down a road, so watch out for oncoming cars. There is also a hole that plays over a parking lot that I had to omit due to the lot being full of cars.
The course has old Mach I baskets, and small concrete tees. I wanted to like the course, because the park is pretty nice, but it's in serious need of a redesign.

Holder looks for answers on overcrowded prisons

(AP Photo/Matt Rourke) by Kathy MathesonAssociated Press Writer PHILADELPHIA (AP) — The nation's top law enforcement officer got a glimpse of the challenges facing ex-offenders attempting to rebuild their lives on Tuesday as he attended an unusual court session and then met with several of them afterward. Attorney General Eric Holder watched as more than a dozen men on supervised release updated a federal judge on their jobs and personal situations, discussing problems from needing more hours at work to the cost of cataract surgery for the family dog.

Out of the Ordinary: Selections from the Bohlen Wood Art and Fusfeld Folk Art Collections
September 11, 2010–June 26, 2011
This exhibition allows visitors to explore two extraordinary collections of art—the Robert M. and Lillian Montalto Bohlen Collection of Wood Art and the Daniel and Harriet Fusfeld Folk Art Collection. The Bohlen collection presents an astonishing range of contemporary artworks fashioned from wood and includes works that explores traditional and non-traditional vessel forms as well as works that are more purely sculptural. The outstanding objects that make up the Fusfeld collection are both geographically and historically wide-ranging, including work by early nineteenth-century itinerant folk portraitists as well as late twentieth-century sculpture and painting by "outsider" artists from the American South, Midwest, and Northeast.
This exhibition is made possible in part by the Charles H. and Katherine C. Sawyer Endowment and the Richard and Rosann Noel Endowment Fund.
Watch the conversation between guest curator Kristine Ronan, UM PhD candidate in the History of Art Department, and Bruce Conforth, lecturer in the American Culture Program, coproduced by UMMA and UMS. The video specifically links blues, bluegrass, and country music in the 2010-11 UMS season (including Blues at the Crossroads: the Robert Johnson Centennial on February 10) with the UMMA exhibition "Out of the Ordinary: Selections from the Bohlen Wood Art and Fusfeld Folk Art Collections."

Roger faces Tim in final
07.10.2006 | Tennis
Roger blasted past Germany's Benjamin Becker 6-3, 6-4 to reach final in Tokyo. This means that Roger will meet 10th seed Tim Henman on Sunday.
Roger showed a supremely confident display and said that "it was pretty straightforward. The feeling's good. My dream was to be in the final." He has now improved his win-loss record for the year to 76-5.
"The last little bit is a bonus. It's a great opportunity to win maybe my first tournament in Japan." Roger only needed 36 minutes to take home the first set, the second one was even quicker after he broke again in the third game.
Becker, who ushered Andre Agassi into retirement at the US Open last month, simply had no answer to Roger's bewildering arsenal of shots.
This final will be amazing!!!! Let's go for another title....God bless :D
Go on Roger... Just one more Step to Win Tokyo!! Thanks for being such a great sportsman... Watchin' your games it's a huge delight!!! And if you are going on vacationsss Come to Argentina!!! Try visiting Patagonia!!! :)

44 acres in Terra Ceia bought for $850,000
Published: Friday, March 8, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 7, 2013 at 8:47 p.m.
TERRA CEIA - An Atlanta company has sold 44 acres at and around Center Road in this community in northern Manatee County for $850,000, or about $19,300 per acre.
Terra Ceia Vest LLC, managed by William R. Collins Jr., sold the property to William Briggs McClatchy.
The Atlanta company paid nearly $6 million, or $135,000 per acre, for the land in November 2005.
Last summer, Biel Loanco III, a company that bought a distressed loan from Whitney National Bank, won a $2.245 million foreclosure judgment against a company that owned some Terra Ceia property.
The suit was against Miami-based Capstone Construction Group LLC, which started to borrow the money in August 2005 to finance a land purchase in Manatee County.
Included in a land auction in July 2012 were two lots at 510 and 516 Horseshoe Loop Road in Terra Ceia that Capstone bought for $165,000 in March 2005.

Running back LaMichael James is suiting up for the first time his rookie season. Meanwhile, two other prominent first-year 49ers (and ex-Giants) are not suiting up: running back Brandon Jacobs and wide receiver Mario Manningham.
James was inactive for the 49ers' first 12 games and hasn't been seen in uniform since sustaining an ankle injury during an Aug. 18 exhibition at Houston.
The 49ers drafted James in the second round out of Oregon, where he set program records while running for 5,082 yards and 53 touchdowns.
Wide receiver A.J. Jenkins, the 49ers' first-round draft pick this season, will be active for the third time and is expected to see his first snaps. He didn't play last Sunday at St. Louis nor in the season opener at Green Bay, the other two games he's been active.
Also inactive for the 49ers are quarterback Scott Tolzien, guard Joe Looney, nose tackle Ian Williams, safety Trenton Robinson and running back Jewell Hampton.
Inactive for the Dolphins are quarterback Pat Devilin, safety Jimmy Wilson, cornerback Michael Coe, linebacker Josh Kaddu, tackle Patrick Brown, tight end Michael Egnew and tight end Kyle Miller.
* * *
Jacobs' benching shouldn't be too surprising. He turned to social media again this weekend to vent his frustration over a lack of playing time. Jacobs' only action this season came in the past two games: five carries for 7 yards.
Jacobs has ranted on Twitter often this season about his lack of action, and his latest gem came on Instagram when he replied to a fan: "I am on this team rotting away so why would I wanna put any pics up of anything that sayniners. This is by far the worst year I ever had, I'll tell you like I told plenty others."
That remark prompted angry retorts from 49ers fans, to which Jacobs replied through Twitter: "I don't understand why people are angry at me because I wanna do what I am paid to do, I am a competitive person, I think people should be mad if I didn't wanna play, but I forgot the people that's pissed they don't have a athletic bone and their body. As for all of my Instagram photos I don't have any niner pics, if you'll find me some pics I'll put them up."

Manningham did not practice Wednesday through Friday because of a shoulder injury he aggravated in last Sunday's loss at St. Louis.

SAN JOSE -- Ignoring calls to delay an appointment, the Alum Rock Union School Board named Andrea Flores Shelton to fill a vacant seat on the board.
Flores Shelton, 38, a former aide to Santa Clara County Supervisor George Shirakawa Jr., was chosen from among five applicants. She will serve out two years remaining in the term of Darcie Green, who resigned from the Alum Rock board this month to take a seat on the Santa Clara County Board of Education.
At an emotional meeting at the East San Jose school district on Monday, parents and community members turned out to ask the four board members to hold off on selecting a new member until December, when a newly elected board will be seated. But the board majority refused to allow public comment at the meeting's outset. Once it became clear they were going to fill the vacancy that night and favored Flores Shelton, after taking several straw polls on candidates, the board allowed the public to speak.
"The process and discussion," former board member Green said, "was disrespectful and unfortunate."
The four Alum Rock board members unanimously appointed Flores Shelton. She was sworn in at the end of the 2½-hour meeting.
On Tuesday, Flores Shelton said that she looks forward to "trying to elevate the dialogue on the board." She said, "I will be trying to be respectful as possible while being child-centered and child-focused."
The mother of a 7-year-old in Catholic school and a 5-year-old in Alum Rock's Cesar Chavez Elementary¿ School, Flores Shelton said she would like to ensure that schools "respond to the whole child," that schools keep children engaged in education and that parents have a choice among neighborhood schools, charters and private schools.
But the elephant in the room, she said, is how the board responds to charter schools -- like Rocketship Education -- in its territory that have been authorized by other agencies such as the county school board.
In siphoning off children, charter schools pose financial and political challenges to school districts, particularly those like Alum Rock with heavy concentrations of poor families targeted by charters.
Earlier this month Flores Shelton resigned as deputy chief of staff for Shirakawa to become injury and violence prevention manager for the county public health department.
Flores Shelton said she decided to apply for the board seat on Friday, the deadline for applications, after talking the night before with Teresa Alvarado, a friend through the Latina Coalition of Silicon Valley. Asked if Shirakawa, her former boss, encouraged her to apply for the board seat, she said no. "I used to work for him, just like I used to work for Blanca Alvarado," Flores Shelton said. "I've proven myself to be independent."
Blanca Alvarado said Tuesday afternoon that she had no comment on Flores Shelton's selection.
Flores Shelton said although she's a member of the Latino Leadership Alliance, run by Shirakawa and his chief of staff Eddie Garcia, she said, "I'm not (on the board) as an LLA person."
At the meeting, members of the community group Somos Mayfair carried signs in protest of what they called the unnecessarily rushed and nontransparent appointment process. Members of the group People Acting in Community Together also pressed the board to put off its selection.
They and others believe longtime trustee Esau Herrera, who lost a bid for re-election and will step down next month, wanted to have a vote on the new trustee. Herrera has said the board used the same time line for filling Green's seat as it did in late summer when it replaced trustee Scott Pham with Andres Quintero, a Shirakawa staffer.
Despite disagreeing with the process, Somos Mayfair Executive Director Jaime Alvarado said he was somewhat hopeful about Flores Shelton's appointment, but "the concern is her independence from George (Shirakawa) and company." Otherwise, he said about Flores Shelton, "people like her and respect her."
Other applicants for the seat included Betty Duong, Juan Estrada, Atul Saini and Alofa Taliva. Patricia Martinez-Roach, who this month lost her seat on the East Side Union High School board, also had submitted a letter of interest but withdrew a few hours before Monday's meeting.

News 12 First at Five / Monday, Jan. 28, 2013
AUGUSTA, Ga. (WRDW) -- The future of the Patch golf course is still in the balance. A company from Virginia wants to take control of the course, but commissioners aren't so sure.
City leaders voted against allowing the Virginia Beach management group to go straight to next week's consent agenda.
Mayor Pro Tem Corey Johnson says he wants the city to wait until a new Parks and Recreation director is hired before making a permanent decision on the patch.
Commissioner Bill Lockett says he's concerned about member fees.
The owner of Virgina Beach golf management was in town for Monday's hearing and promised if his firm gets the deal, the fees would stay low.
"The rates are not going to go up high. In order to get play out there, you need to maintain a certain level. You have to look at your property and see what condition it's in. It will only make so much, so that's as much as you can charge," said Beach Golf Management Mike Fontress.
Another hot-button issue was discussing opening the bid process for ambulance service. Gold Cross currently has that contract and it's coming up for renewal in March. If the city decides to go in a different direction, they must give a 9-month notice to Gold Cross.
Augusta-Richmond County Fire Chief Christopher James says the company has met the contract guidelines.
The minimum amount of ambulances available is a problem in 2013.
"If the contract provider or a contract provider doesn't have any ambulances available and we have another that's within our city that can respond, that we're sitting there available, then that unit should be called," James said.
He also wants other emergency service vehicles in the area given a chance to respond if Gold Cross has no more cars ready. The patch and the bidding for ambulance service will go before the commission next Monday.

Stan Musial passed away this week, and with his passing is the loss of the most beloved St. Louis Cardinal of all.
Stan played 22 years for the Cardinals and set many records. He became the all-time hit leader for the National League in 1962 when he passed Honus Wagner. He hit five home runs in a doubleheader that still stands although tied by St. Louis native Nate Colbert in 1972. He won seven NL batting titles, played on three World Series championship teams and was National League MVP three times. Musial trailed only Ty Cobb in hits at his retirement even though he lost a year of playing time serving in the military during World War II.
Stan holds several All-Star game records, including most home runs, hitting six of them. He played in 24 games as an All Star, which is tied with Willie Mays.
"Stan the Man" was a model of consistency and durability, having 1,815 hits at home and 1,815 hits on the road. He also played in 895 consecutive games, which was a National League record at that time. He also was the first man to play over 1,000 games at two different positions the outfield and first base. Musial hit 475 home runs, which is an enormous amount for a player who won seven batting titles.
Stan was general manager for the Cardinals in 1967, the year they won the World Series. He was never thrown out of a game during his career and was also an accomplished harmonica player. When I think of athletes who wore number 6, Stan Musial always comes to mind first.

De Blasio Taps Goldman Sachs Executive as Deputy Mayor
By Laura Kusisto, Justin Baer and Mara Gay
UPDATED | Alicia Glen, head of Goldman Sachs's urban investment group, was appointed deputy mayor for housing and economic development.
At Goldman Sachs, Ms. Glen oversaw the firm's financing of the Citi Bike program as well as billions of dollars of projects in low-income neighborhoods. Previously, Ms. Glen worked as assistant commissioner for housing finance at the city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development from 1998 to 2002.
At a news conference announcing her appointment, Mr. de Blasio called her a "a strong and forceful champion for fighting inequality"
For the de Blasio administration it is perhaps an unusual choice to pluck someone from a high-profile and often-criticized financial institution. But the choice of a woman would diversify the top ranks of his administration.
Ms. Glen said, that "the tale of two cities is not OK. It is not OK for us to live in this city and to tolerate the inequality." She discussed improving the film, technology, advanced manufacturing and light industrial industries in the city, and "about making smart, strategic investments to spur job creation."
Ms. Glen said she supports Mr. de Blasio's plan to tax high-income earners to fund universal pre-kindergarten programs — and said she believes her colleagues at Goldman would also support it.
She said she broke down the cost of the plan for someone making $750,000 a year. "I'm a banker so I did the math, and that's about $3.50 a day, and that's a latte," Ms. Glen said.
Ms. Glen's appointment to a prominent post in the nation's largest city may be a sign the political backlash against Goldman has faded in the years since the financial crisis. Before the crisis, U.S. presidents and other elected officials had turned frequently to Goldman executives to fill out cabinet positions and advisory roles. But the firm's actions during the crisis drew harsh criticism. Now, as Wall Street's relationship with Washington improves, Goldman employees with aspirations in government may find the path to their appointment easier.
A number of people in the development community said it is early to tell whether Ms. Glen would prove a good choice because she has little experience in such a high-profile and challenging position.
Mr. de Blasio also named Laura Santucci as his chief of staff.
"It's an honor of a lifetime to assume this role," Ms. Santucci said.
Corrections & Amplifications: Alicia Glen, who New York City Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio appointed as deputy mayor on Monday, Dec. 23, said that Mr. De Blasio's plan to tax high-income earners in order to fund universal pre-kindergarten would cost someone who makes about $750,000 a year about $3.50 a day. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said that number was $3.57 each day.

The New York Times health section ran a fascinating story this week on how medicines are helping to revive patients once thought to be in a irreversible vegetative state.

VOLUME 15, NUMBER 19 THE TRAPPING MONTH DECEMBER 19,1986 Tribes, Interior Dept. agree to delay MVP implementation The Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes and the U.S. Department of Interior have agreed to temporarily postpone implementation of the contract which authorizes the Tribes to manage the power system of the Flathead Indian Irrigation Project (FIIP). This action was announced after the Tribes and Department of Interior filed a joint motion earlier this week with 3 o r- OQ in CQ tei Q H the federal district court in Helena in regard to the Joint Board of Control's litigation to prevent the contract from moving forward. The Tribes and the United States filed the motion requesting that the one-day injunction hearing date that was scheduled for December 18 be vacated until all parties are afforded an opportunity for full exposition of the relevant facts and law pertaining to the case. "It is obvious to anyone involved in the case that the issues before the court are of great importance and complexity. The Tribes want this case decided on the merits. This cannot be done in a one-day hearing. The court's ruling on these issues will impact Reservation life for decades to come," Tribal Chairman Ron Therriault said. Quarterly reminder You're cordially invited to attend the first quarterly Tribal meeting of 1987 on Friday, Jan. 2, beginning at 9 am. in the Council's chambers at Tribal headquarters in Pablo. On the unofficial agenda will be a discussion of the BIA's ten-year forest management plan, and perhaps a brief ceremony during which Ron Therriault and Mickey Pablo will switch places, with the latter assuming the Council chairman's job. Lunch will be served. "The Tribes look forward to the advancement and resolution of this litigation. We are not backing off. We're in this to the end." According to Therriault, there are essentially two issues in the lawsuit: The Tribes' authority to enter into the power system management contract pursuant to the Indian Self-Determination Act, and the meaning of the so-called "turnover" provision found in the 1908 amendment to the Flathead Allotment Act. The Joint Board of Control has alleged that the 1908 turnover provision requires the control of both the FIIP power division and the irrigation division to be turned over to them. "The Joint Board is going for it all in these lawsuits," Therriault said. "They have even alleged that the water users have paid for the construction cost associated with both systems." According to Therriault, it is a well-(Concludes on page 2) Two-day closure for Tribes, BIA and IHS Tribal and federal offices on the Flathead Reservation will be closed Dec. 25 and 26 in observance of Christmas. Thursday, Jan. 1, will also be a day off. It's anticipated that all the offices will be open on Jan. 2, however.
