Robert Plant has hinted that he may be open to a Led Zeppelin reunion after all, according to Rolling Stone.
In an interview with Australia's version of "60 Minutes," the 64-year-old singer denied he's the reason for the band not following up on its successful reunion show in 2007 in London.
"(Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones) are Capricorns. They don't say a word. They're quite contained in their own worlds and they leave it to me," said Plant. "I'm not the bad guy. You need to see the Capricorns -- I've got nothing to do in 2014."
So, he's calling them goats?
Plant, Page and Jones reunited to play London's O2 Arena on December 10, 2007, with Jason Bonham drumming in place of his late father, John. Page and Jones said afterward they were willing to tour, but Plant seemed disinterested, as well as tied up with other projects.
Page and Jones considered finding a replacement before abandoning their plans, said Rolling Stone. Their 2007 show was released as "Celebration Day" last year. In November, Page told the magazine Plant "was busy." The band also entered negotiations a streaming music deal last month.

PARKERSBURG - To help people.
Jeremy Layner, 30, of Mineral Wells said he became a firefighter because he enjoys helping others. He dedicates part of his time helping the community and another part of it as an assistant wrestling coach for the Parkersburg South High School Patriots, 18 time state champions.
"I've always wanted to (be a firefighter)," Layner said. "I've always enjoyed helping people. I've been volunteering to coach wrestling for years."

Firefighter Jeremy Layner was named the Parkersburg Fire Department's Firefighter of the Year on Friday.
Layner was named the Parkersburg Fire Department's Firefighter of the Year by Parkersburg Fire Chief Eric Taylor on Friday.
When he attended high school, he was on the wrestling team.
Because Layner is off two, sometimes three, days a week during the month, he has found ways to stay busy when away from the fire station. He works for his construction company with family members, he said. Layner met his girlfriend of almost three years, Kayla Anderson, in Parkersburg.
Layner usually works at Fire Station 5 on Blizzard Drive, but he said being younger he is sometimes stationed in another area. He started thinking about becoming a firefighter about six years before he became one, he said.
He went through the physical agility and written tests several times before he was hired three years ago.
"It took about six years to become one," he said. "I started in 2003 and was two weeks from being hired (at one point)."
Layner said he had to be put on hold as other, veteran firefighters decided to return to their squads.
"I can think of a lot more guys (more) worthy than me," he said of receiving the award. "But it's an honor and there are a good group of guys here."
Taylor said the fire department is proud of the service Layner has given since joining the team in 2010.
"Jeremy has an attitude of excellence and that is evident in everything that he does," Taylor said. "He is proud to be a Parkersburg firefighter and we are glad to have him."
Layner said he plans to retire with the fire department. Taylor said the department couldn't be happier with his efforts.

Roger in semis
Roger won his quarter final against Milos Roanic 6-7(4), 6-4, 7-6(3) today to book his spot in the semi-finals in Halle.
"It was a great match on a high level and I am glad that it worked out so well" said Roger.
Roanic's strong serves - 220 km/h - were a tough weapon for Roger to battle against. But Roger did so very well, not facing a single break-ball during the entire match. The Canadian simply had that extra bit of luck in the tie-break of the first set. In the second, Roger stayed focused to secure the only break of the match. In the final set, our champ then made sure to score enough mini-breaks in the tie-break to convert his second match-ball for a spot in the semis.
Next up is Mikhail Youzhny (ATP 31). Roger leads the head-to-head 12-0.
Your match against Raonic today was worthy of the best of the best that you are So proud of you ! and so happy to put at rest the fears that we had about your health !
Stay happy Rogi and go for the lucky 13 tomorrow against Mischa !!! I expect a nice easy win, you deserve it !!!
Good luck for the next one!!
Lets Go Roger Lets Go!!!
Congratulations!The SF will be as tough but I'm sure you'll win if you do your best! Hope you are healthy and fit enough!
Wish you all the best and good luck dearest Roger!
Go, Roger, goooooooo!
Love, Mimi
Best , as always , to you!
You kept focused till the end, till the last point, like in Madrid. It is a good win.
I wish you the best for the 2 remaining matchs - at least i hope so.
I count on you to go get that trophy - again.
Come on champ ! Come on !

It is believed among regulatory officials and industry representatives that many CMO/client relationships are immature. If this is indeed true, what can be done to "mature" these relationships?
Each contract provider has a different business focus. A CMO-Only provider does not manufacture its own drugs, but is built around serving a portfolio of clients. The CMO Hybrid 1 serves a portfolio of clients, but also has its own branded products. The CMO Hybrid 2 serves a portfolio of clients, but also has its own generic products.In a CMO-Only model, the focus is only on the client and keeping their customers happy. When capacity constraints arise, this model does not have to choose between its own products and its clients. The downside is that its business is dependent on customers only; losing a large customer may put its business in jeopardy. The hybrid companies have diversified their business; hence, the impact of losing clients is buffered by its own business.
The variety of product types also plays a role in the CMO/client relationship. Product types have many different technologies and equipment and varying degrees of personnel who know how to take care of the systems. Products include parenterals (e.g., aseptic fill, lyophilization, and terminal sterilization), sterile powders, sterile creams, nonsterile products (e.g., tablets, capsules, caplets, and sachets), and packaging and labeling/shipping to distributor.
Personnel also play a role in the CMO/client relationship. The choice of a liaison that will be the primary contact for the client with the CMO is crucial. Many people, even seasoned leaders, believe that choosing the smartest and/or most-educated person is best. It is more important to hire the right person with the right set of skills and attributes to interact in the most appropriate way with a CMO. Choose wisely and remember that the most intelligent person is not necessarily the best person. Ensure that the person is matched with the skills and needs of the job.
Lastly, clients and their individual needs are varied. Generics-only biopharmaceutical companies only make generic drugs. These companies tend to have limited resources; cost cutting is a huge focus. Large biopharmaceutical companies make many new molecular entities and some generics and tend to place their focus on large money-making products. Mid-sized biopharmaceutical companies typically have between one and eight commercial products. They tend to focus on their limited drug portfolio because each drug is still important. They tend to generate revenue, and many are profitable. They have the resources to focus on building and maintaining systems and have dynamic, motivated employees. Small biopharmaceutical companies typically have a few clinical products only. They tend to have limited resources (e.g., time, money, expertise, personnel). They tend to lack mature systems and knowledgeable people in some key areas such as quality.

LODI - A 13-year-old student was arrested on suspicion of gun possession at Henderson School this morning, the San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office said.
The teen, who was on probation for armed robbery, was visited by probation officers for a random check at 9:40 a.m. at the school in the 13400 block of Extension Road in unincorporated Lodi.
Probation officers found a .22-caliber revolver in his waistband and four unused bullets in his pocket, sheriff's spokesman Deputy Les Garcia said.
Deputies were called to assist in the arrest, Garcia said.
The teen was booked into juvenile hall on suspicion of possession of a firearm in a school zone.
Lodi Unified Assistant Superintendent of Secondary Education Dawn Vetica said the matter was handled entirely by the authorities.
She said the student "did not make any threats to anyone on campus."

1 The adverb well is often used in combination with past participles to form compound adjectives: well-adjusted, well-intentioned, well-known, and so on. As far as hyphenation is concerned, there are three general rules: (1) if the compound adjective is placed before the noun (i.e., in the attributive position), it should be hyphenated ( a well-intentioned remark); (2) if the compound adjective is preceded by an adverb ( much, very, surprisingly, etc.), the compound adjective is open ( a thoroughly well prepared student); (3) if the compound adjective is placed after the noun or verb (i.e., in the predicate position), it may, but need not, be hyphenated ( her remark was well-intentioned or her remark was well intentioned). Likewise, other, similar compounds with better, best, ill, little, lesser, least, etc., are hyphenated before the noun ( a little-known author), often open after a noun or verb ( the author was little known), and open if modified by an adverb ( a very little known author). 2 On uses of well and good, see good (usage).

Old English wel(l), of Germanic origin; related to Dutch wel and German wohl; probably also to the verb will1.
The well meaning 'in a good way' and well 'shaft giving access to water' are different Old English words. The first provides the first half of welfare (Middle English). The start of welcome (Old English), on the other hand, is from another Old English element, wil- meaning 'pleasure'—welcome originally meant 'a person whose arrival is pleasing'. Wealth (Middle English) has a basic sense of 'well-being', being formed from well in the same way that health (Old English) is formed from hale ( see wassail). The title of Shakespeare's comedy All's Well that Ends Well was already an old saying when he wrote the play at the beginning of the 17th century. The first record of the proverb is as early as 1250. People have been well endowed only since the 1950s, but men could be well-hung in the early 17th century. At this time it meant 'having large ears' as well as 'having a large penis'. The well you get water from is Old English wella 'spring of water', of Germanic origin, from a base meaning 'boil, bubble up',

Old English wella, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch wel and German Welle 'a wave'.
The well meaning 'in a good way' and well 'shaft giving access to water' are different Old English words. The first provides the first half of welfare (Middle English). The start of welcome (Old English), on the other hand, is from another Old English element, wil- meaning 'pleasure'—welcome originally meant 'a person whose arrival is pleasing'. Wealth (Middle English) has a basic sense of 'well-being', being formed from well in the same way that health (Old English) is formed from hale ( see wassail). The title of Shakespeare's comedy All's Well that Ends Well was already an old saying when he wrote the play at the beginning of the 17th century. The first record of the proverb is as early as 1250. People have been well endowed only since the 1950s, but men could be well-hung in the early 17th century. At this time it meant 'having large ears' as well as 'having a large penis'. The well you get water from is Old English wella 'spring of water', of Germanic origin, from a base meaning 'boil, bubble up',

NEW: For a prettier blog interface, see the Wordpress version!

1. The Mapa Family Book of Virtues
Commissioner Dondi Mapa shared a beautiful idea with us at the first blogging summit last Saturday, 2005.05.07. The Mapa Family Book of Virtues is a collection of anecdotes about the members of their extended family, organized according to the people involved as well as by the virtues the stories illustrated. Currently a private blog updated by Dondi Mapa every so often, it has drawn comments and contributions from close friends of the Mapas. Eventually it might even be privately published as a book for the Mapa family and their friends.
I've never seen it, but I think it'd be a wonderful idea. My family has plenty of stories and it would be nice for other people to read about things like my dad's love affair with the Banaue Rice Terraces and my mom's forays into writing and pottery. I know _I_ would like to read those stories.
Blogs don't have to be temporal entries about, say, eating suman. They can be timeless, insightful, meaningful entries, like letters we can read through in the twilight of our lives to remember who and what we were and appreciate even more what we've become.
コンピュータを物色して歩いたあげく、デイヴィドより200ドル安い値段で手に入れた。 I shopped around for my computer and ended up paying $200 less than David.
(Must make sure that these things survive until said twilight, then. ;) Am nowhere near it right now.)

About the Conference
Whether your most pressing issues are strategic, tactical, or, more likely, a complex combination of both, you'll benefit from this unique opportunity to explore how semantic solutions and open data are being embraced throughout companies across a diverse range of disciplines and business categories. The London Semantic Technology & Business Conference (SemTechBiz) brings together today's industry thought leaders and practitioners to explore the challenges and opportunities jointly impacting both corporate business leaders and technologists.
SemTechBiz 2012 Program
Packed with innovative case studies and real-world perspectives, SemTechBiz offers two comprehensive days of fresh insight and immersive learning from global experts in technology, broadcast media, consumer services, healthcare, life sciences, education, publishing, government and enterprise data.

Lisa White joins city staff as finance director
Published: Tuesday, December 31, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 30, 2013 at 5:03 p.m.
Lisa White, former finance director for Greenwood County and the city of Mauldin in South Carolina, has been selected from a field of more than 40 applicants to lead the city's finance department.
White begins her duties Monday, after the retirement of Jim Rudisill, who served as finance director with the city for nearly 29 years.
White comes to Hendersonville from Greenwood County, S.C., where she served as finance director and treasurer from October 2008 to June 2013, city officials said in a news release Friday.
"Prior to serving Greenwood County, she was the finance director for the city of Mauldin, S.C., from December 2005 until September 2008," the release says. "She also has spent time during her career with two private accounting firms, where she performed local government audits."
White was selected following an interview by a panel of local government and private accounting professionals and a one-on-one interview with City Manager John Connet.
Following the panel and one-on-one interviews, the top two candidates were invited back to make a budget presentation before a panel of city department heads, according to the release.
"Following the panel interview, my one-on-one interview and the budget presentation, it was clear that Lisa was the top candidate," Connet said in the release. "She also received very positive comments from her former employers. We are excited to have someone with Lisa's experience and knowledge to join our team."
White earned a Bachelor of Science in accounting from the University of Houston-Clear Lake and is a certified public accountant. She is also a South Carolina-certified government finance officer, according to the city.
She and her husband, Gil, reside in Lowndesville, S.C., but the couple are planning to relocate to Hendersonville in the near future. White is the mother of two adult daughters: Jenna, a clinical coordinator at Western Carolina University's School of Nursing in Asheville, and Julie, a senior at Clemson University.

Mountain dog
Now, K gets worried about the raucous play when Darcy comes to visit. Her fearfulness around the house is still growing. She's recently become afraid of her food bowl. Sometimes, she refuses to eat from it unless I sit on the floor next to it. That's fine - I'll do whatever our girl needs right now. I think that the shifting of the bowl on the floor scares her so I'm going to get a heavy ceramic bowl that won't shift as she eats. And, I'm going to get the vet to check her out this week to see if there's anything fixable that might make her feel less afraid around the house. She's fine when she's snoozing... but, at other times, she occasionally becomes paralyzed with fear.
Throughout her whole life, fearfulness has accompanied illness for K. Consequently, it worries me that the fearfulness is growing. But, thank goodness, she's not afraid of anything outdoors.
When other dogs aren't around, she'll race her brother.

Oh, the two Black Labs do look alike. Funny trick. Ellie wears blue and Lucy wears red. The two don't look at all alike, but if I happen to put the leashes on the wrong dog I have to stop and fix them before we leave.
Sorry about K's anxiety. I'm so glad she is fine on outings with you and playing with R.

As always, great pix! I loved the one of R and Darcy tearing along and then R showing off his molars! Whew!
I hope the vet can help K with the anxiety. Its hard to see a dog become frightened over everyday things.
Cheers and hugs,

What fun for R and Darcy! And what fun that the Runner played a trick on you - that was just great. But it seems as though R knows where he belongs.
I hope you can find some ways to ease K's anxiety. Phantom exhibits some very odd fears lately but his are mainly related to being outside at night. Please give sweet K a kiss from me.

How funny that he had you fooled until it was time to go for Darcy. That must have worried Darcy's owner for a few seconds until the truth was revealed.
Nina has over the past few years had weird phobias around her food bowls. We purchased a ceramic quiche dish that we use now and she likes it better than the metal bowl. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone in trying to figure out what is going on in her head.

Perhaps K is having trouble seeing in low light and that is making her anxious, especially in close quarters like inside the house? We had a Dane in the family many years ago who had vision problems, and he started snapping at the cats - which he'd never done before - because he could sense something under his feet but could no longer see them. Why his sense of smell wasn't enough to tell him it was cats, we never knew. Perhpas the chemo could affect some range of K's vision more than others?
Sneaky Runner. Bet both R and his friend were confused when Darcy's dad tried to make off with the wrong dog.

I hope you can find something that will help K feel a little less anxious. Sometimes you have to come up with creative solutions to some of those problems, too, we've learned!
That's pretty funny about R and Darcy! What a riot! I can just picture The Runner laughing to himself in a corner somewhere while you try to sort out the boys! I wonder if there will be payback at some point...

Steve often must sit on the floor with Quinn as he eats to ease his fearfulness. When we ried to switch bowls, Quinn got even more agitated so maybe just away to keep the familiar from moving and making noise might be better...a rubber placemat/door mat under the bowl perhaps?
And it is a match made in heaven!
P.S. I do not know of this traveling ribbon but will visit the website, try to make contact, and invite them to our Walks. Thanks for the info.

I agree that K is a mountain dog and you are a mountain girl! Two peas in a pod!
I love the trick your trickster runner played!
I cannot believe how much those two dogs look alike!
I hope you find some solution to help resolve some of K's fearfullness. As always we keep good thoughts going your way.

They certainly do look alike :-)
I hate to say this but I saw my girl stand paralyzed for a few moments and I assumed she had a bad pain, best to get advice from the vet. I'm happy that K's fear disappears outdoors and she has so much fun. You are a good match, I will think about her as the mountain dog from now on.
Sending love from Eileen and Annie xx

As for you and K, you are such a good match. I love that last picture of her! Barney used to be afraid of his bowl sliding too so I cut some of the no-slip for rugs to fit under his bowls and it stopped them from sliding and making noise. I now have done the same for Fred and Gloria. Just a thought...

I got a hysterical picture of my "Hero" playing with one of my rescues, "JD". JD looks like he's going to kill Hero and Hero looks like he's freaking out. But it was all the luck of timing.

Nicholls State adjusts summer hours to save energy, money
Published: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, June 14, 2013 at 10:24 p.m.
A simple flip of the light switch during the summer months has saved Nicholls State University more than half a million dollars over the last few years, university officials said.
It's not much for a university with a multi-million dollar operating budget, but Chief Financial Officer Mike Naquin said every cent helps.
Starting with the 2009-10 school year, the university has adjusted its summer office hours to help reduce costs through energy conservation, said Debbie Kliebert, university spokeswoman.
Nicholls is now open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday, and from 7:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on Friday.
The regular daily work schedule of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. will resume on Aug. 5, she said.
When the university decided to tweak the summer schedule four years ago, Naquin said, administrators weren't sure how much money would be saved.
"Once we got past the first week of August, we saw our utilities had decreased by about $170,000," Naquin said. "That cost savings was because we went to the compressed work week."
The university creates its annual budget each year with this savings estimate in mind, he said.
The money saved is a fraction of the university's utility bill each year. Last year, Nicholls spent nearly $1.3 million on utilities, Naquin said.
The university is still waiting to see how much money it will have to operate when the fiscal year starts on July 1. University officials hope to find out in the next week.
Until then, Naquin said, the university will continue to do what it can to pinch pennies.
"We're adjusting thermostats, making sure computers are turned off, making sure equipment is off," he said. "Some offices have installed motion-censored light switches that go off when there is no activity, and others are changing to the more energy-efficient lights."

That showtime has passed. Please try next available showtime.
Czech Republic, 2012, 83 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Avant Garde/Experimental, Biographical, Documentary, Family Issues
Program: DocumentaryLanguage: Czech English Subtitles
DIRECTOR: Helena Treštíková
Producer: Katerina Cerná, Pavel StrnadEditor: Jakub HejnaScreenwriter: Helena Treštíková
The Czech documentarian Helena Treštíková says she is committed to using her inventive time-lapse shooting method ("time collection," she calls it) "to make a link between the past and the present … as a tool to interlink the private and public aspects of life." In Private Universe, she covers 37 years in the lives of the Kettner family—from the moment in 1974 when working-class Prague parents have a son named Honza, through the boy's youth, his tumultuous teenage years (John Lennon, pot, rebellion), and on into his emigration to Spain, where he worked as a dishwasher. We also get the wider social picture: when Honza is 15, Stalinist socialism collapses in Czechoslovakia; when he's 30, the Czech Republic joins the European Union. Thus do private and public events collide.
Working with her camera and 30 notebooks filled with Kettner family recollections, Treštíková here continues a long and productive career—40 years, 40-plus films, short and long—that has spanned all the postwar political upheavals in the life of her homeland.
She faced trials, too. "There was a certain period of time when Honza disappeared somewhere abroad," she recalls, "and I was not sure whether we would be able to finish the project." But the young man materialized, and the work went on. At a private family screening of the finished film, Treštíková tells us, the Kettners laughed all the way through. In a postscript, we learn that Honza has managed to graduate from a jewelry design school and has firm career plans.

text: Smoke24-28 the Jews are crammed in a train car and one of the womewn starts screaming �fire�. The others are bothered with her after they cannot see a fire and she continues yelling. Later when they arrive at the camp they see the fire and smoke.32-33 Elie and his father see the flames in a huge pit while walking forward. They watched babies being thrown in and were heading there. They were stopped right before they were to be pushed in.37---after being at the camp and suffered several beatings, they were standing mostly in silence because of exhaustion and disbelief. They whispered because of the heavy thick smoke that burned their eyes and stung their throats.104 �after being evacuated from their camp, and with liberating soldiers on their heels they were transferred to a new camp. As they walked into the camp, they barely noticed the crematorium�s chimney standing right in front of them.Smoke in history has either meant communication or danger. In these examples it not only is communicating to the Jews danger but threatening death. They will never see smoke again without remembering how it looked or smelled of the death, of their families, friends, community and faith.Smoke ---burn, smolder, incinerate, charNo, because these synonyms do not bring the smoke into your vision. Using the word smoke not only allows you to see the smoke but smell it.Smoke throughout history has been used for communication. The need to communicate between Indian tribes made smoke necessary. However, smoke has traditionally communicated danger. In my life smoke has a third meaning.As a child smoke entertained me. The smoke rising and twirling in the air fascinated me and still does today. I didn�t ever seem to feel the danger that most people experience when seeing smoke. Then my grandmother died and I experienced smoke in a different manner. The priest used incense around the coffin. I found out later that the use of incense was to symbolize our prayers being sent up to God. I love this particular tradition of my church.Therefore, smoke will always remain sacred to me. How different my vision is than Elie�s.

So I just checked my pdga rating for the first time in a while. My rating was actually higher then I expected since I only played two tourneys this year (sucked at both). Current rating is 954. I had one horrible round at turkey that was an 856 and it says that round is not included. Do you know why this would be?

HIT HAT Ky. (WYMT) - The next team up in our DQ Grill and Chill countdown to tip off series, the South Floyd Raiders.
The Raiders return four starters from last year's team but losses a guy who gave them the most production in leading scorer Brandon Marson. But as they look ahead to this season, playing as a team will be huge.
"Our strengths this year should be team work. We bring back four starters from last year. We have a couple of good seniors on the tea, this year", sand head coach Justin Holbrook. "So, we've been around each other. We lost our best player Brandon Marson last year, so, I think, just team work as a whole should be a lot better this year."
"We are working hard everyday. We are getting out. Everybody is working hard", said senior forward Jacob Crager. We are working as a team and trying to get better. We are suppose, I mean, we are looking to win games this year."
"Well practice is looking pretty good. We have been running a lot", said senior forward Douglas Newman. "Trying to get in to shape. Get everybody good to go. We have been working on some shooting drills. The season is going to be pretty good. So, I'm looking forward to it."

I have a server that runs Debian (without screen)
I was wondering how i can install your application on the server?
And do i need to install other apps, like codecs etc
Thanks for making this software! Keep up the good work!
lavvan wrote:Thanx for the reply.
I have successfully installed mplayer,mencoder,ffmpeg and pms.
though, i`m getting this message on startup:
"[main] 23:01:28.107 Cannot launch FFmpeg / Check the presence of /storage/disk1/
PMS/pms-linux-1.03/ffmpeg ...: Index: 0, Size: 0"
does this mean that ffmpeg are`nt working?
I have tested one .mkv file and it worked great. There are som things i would like to change in pms settings, but i can`t find pms.conf file..
Is there a solution to this?
On my PS3, every map on the server is listed twise.. is that normal?
And finally , is there a way to get debian to start pms.sh on startup?
Thanx again for all the great support. I`m a noob to linux so sorry for all the stupid questions
Well, your tip on the .conf file worked and the ffmpeg problem is gone, so thanx again for your help!You can copy or create a link to ffmpeg if its installed. Find ffmpeg by "which ffmpeg" and just copy that file to pms catalog. ( Better to use link really: "ln -s /usr/bin/ffmpeg /storage/disk1/
PMS/pms-linux-1.03/ffmpeg" )
I think its just a packaging mistake that PMS.conf isnt in the package, you can copy it from Windows installation or maybe use an old Linux release.
There is many ways to get PMS up and running at startup. I just haven't seen any good examples of startup scripts yet, and I haven't had time to make my own yet.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi women's basketball team has signed six to National Letters of Intent, Head Coach Royce Chadwick announced today. Camesha Davis (Desoto, Texas/Desoto HS), Rau Jua' Terry (Louisville, Ky./Fern Creek HS), Dorceive Davis (Port Arthur, Texas/Memorial HS), Brittany Mbamalu (Missouri City, Texas/Dulles HS), Kassie Jones (Lufkin, Texas/Lufkin HS) and Ginnesica Lawler (Bloomfield Hills, Mich./San Jacinto CC) have all signed on to join the Islanders program for the 2013-14 season.
"This class is one of the best I have ever been associated with," Chadwick said. "It has all the pieces of the puzzle. We have versatility, athleticism, scoring, rebounding and size. We are very excited for these young ladies to become a part of our Islanders' program and I'm proud of our staff and the great job they have done in recruiting these ladies. Kudos to Roxanne White, Darren Brunson and Geoff Grawn."
Camesha Davis, a 6-foot-1 forward/guard averaged 16 points and 8.5 rebounds at Desoto High School under head coach Larry Goad. In her most recent game, she scored 21 points and 12 rebounds.
"Camesha is a great basketball player," Chadwick said. "She has the versatility to play any position on the floor. She plays much bigger than her height, bringing scoring, rebounding and assists to her team. She played for one of the best coaches in the country at Desoto in Larry Goad. There is no doubt she is Division I ready now."
Terry, a 5-foot-7 guard at Fern Creek High School in Louisville, Ky. averaged 17 points per game last season under head coach Michelle Fries. She is ranked in the top 50 in her position in the country and is rated one of the top 250 players in the country by Collegiate Girls Basketball Report.
"Rau Jua' is a deadly shooter," Chadwick said. "Her ability to get open is uncanny. She has a very quick release and sees the entire floor on offense. I believe she will be a record setter in the Southland Conference."
Dorceive Davis, a 6-foot-2 forward averaged 11 points, 8.3 rebounds and 2.2 blocks last season at Memorial High School in Port Arthur, Texas. She is part of the National Honor Society, Top Teens of America and Woodmen of the World. She earned a spot on the All Star Team at the Lamar University Elite Camp and made the All-Tournament team at Lamar's Team Camp. She is ranked in the top 25 percent of her class academically.
"Our team is in definite need of height and Dorceive brings us a long frame and an inside out approach," Chadwick said. "Her capabilities on the offensive and defensive end bring us a presence. Her ability to rebound and her touch from the perimeter will add a tremendous shot in the arm to our team. She has good footwork and has been well coached. She is prepared to step in and make a contribution quickly."
Mbamalu is a 5-foot-8 guard from Missouri City, Texas, that can score. She averaged 28.3 points, 6.4 rebounds and 3.5 assists at Dulles High School. In her most recent game she recorded 30 points, including 6-for-8 from behind the arc and only took 14 shots.
"Brittany is a scorer," Chadwick said. "She can play any position on the court from point guard to forward. She has a college ready body and a high basketball IQ. She comes from a family of collegiate athletes. She is three dimensional meaning she can shoot the three, get to the rim, draw the defense and kick. Her unselfishness on the court makes her a great team player."
Jones, a 5-foot-7 guard from Tyler, Texas, is a four-year letterwinner at Lufkin High School. She averaged 25.5 points as a junior under head coach Winfred Simmons. As a freshman and sophomore she earned second team all-district honors along with all-district academic accolades. She led the Panthers to the Bi-District Championships as a freshman. During her junior year she was tabbed the Offensive Player of the Year and earned first team all-district along with all-district academic honors. Jones played two years for the Houstonians AAU basketball team.
"Kassie is the offensive player of the year in her region," Chadwick said. "Enough said. She plays on a team where she has to fight through double and triple teams to get the job done. She is a winner and one of the fiercest competitors in the state. Her work ethic is exemplary and is the reason she is the player she is today."
Lawler is a 6-foot-2 forward transfer from Bloomfield Hills, Mich. and is averaging 16 points and eight rebounds at San Jacinto Community College.
"She goes by Big G," Chadwick said. "That should tell you all you need to know. At 6-foot-2 she moves with great uncanny ability. Her footwork is superb. Her passing skills are outstanding and she is a great teammate. She can hold down the paint offensively and defensively. She is the inside presence required to match up with quality opponent and her presence will be noticed immediately."

World Vision World Vision is preparing to meet the immediate needs of affected families and advising families on how to keep their children safe, in light of reports of child exploitation.
As the conflict in Mali continues, World Vision is concerned for children who are vulnerable to exploitation, and families trapped in the violence without access to humanitarian aid.
Fighting between government and international troops and armed groups in the North has flared in the past month.
"We're worried about the thousands of children and families who remain in the North, right in the crosshairs of conflict, cut off from any hope of assistance," said Chance Briggs, World Vision county director for Mali.
Also of grave concern are reports of extensive acts of rape, torture, summary executions, and recruitment of child soldiers by rebel groups operating in northern parts of Mali.
According to a United Nations report, girls as young as 12 are forced to "marry" several men in rebel camps. They are then gang-raped through the night and abandoned.
"The stories we are hearing from these girls are truly horrifying," says Chance. "Those who have escaped with their families have suffered severe traumatic experiences. Some of those who did not flee will have even worse stories to tell."
All rebel groups in Mali have recruited child combatants, according to the report. Children as young as 10 have been seen manning checkpoints and conducting patrols. Boys are reportedly being taught how to use guns and fight. They witnesss rebels cutting off hands and feet.
These human rights violations have prompted World Vision to call for increased protection of vulnerable populations.
Almost 21,000 World Vision sponsored children live in the central Mopti region, on the frontline of fighting between rebels and French-backed government forces.
World Vision has sent teams to affected areas to distribute information about how to keep children safe as the conflict continues. Through schools, churches, and mosques, children are being advised to not talk to strangers or play with strange objects, which could be landmines or unexploded ordnance.
World Vision is also working in partnership with UNICEF and other child-focused agencies to train United Nation and relief agency staff to provide immediate psycho-social support when they encounter taumatized children.
World Vision is preparing to meet the immediate needs of affected families by providing food and other basic necessities.
Thousands of families — mostly comprised of women and children — have fled to southern Mali. World Vision is distributing food to communities where displaced people have settled, to lessen the burden on areas already hit hard by last year's food crisis.
In the coming weeks, World Vision plans to expand its efforts to target a wider number of displaced people, providing food, hygiene kits, and kitchen sets.
To learn more about the conflict, read "Nine questions about Mali you were too embarrassed to ask" in the Washington Post.
Pray for vulnerable children and families in Mali, especially for their protection from harm and for a means to escape the violence. Pray, too, for a peaceful end to the conflict. Read our prayer points to help guide you.
Make a one-time donation to help children and families affected by conflict in Mali. Your support will help us assist the most vulnerable by providing emergency food in communities where displaced families have settled; advising families about how to keep their children safe during the conflict; and more.

Language learning as childâs play
Learning a new language is a popular sport in Princeton, for adults as well as children. We now have a new digital kid on the block to help teach languages to children.
Muzzy has been a very popular leader in its field for years. So, it is not a new name to experts and users of language programs for children. Created by the BBC, it has been an award- winning product at the top of its game for a long time. What is new is the digital format.
This comes as a true relief to the Youth Services Department, because as fine as the old materials were, they came in a large bulky plastic case filled with booklets and CDs. The possibility of loss and damage to these popular materials was heartbreakingly high. It meant constant tending to replace errant and torn or scratched pieces. Those who remember the old kits know whereof we speak.
This is a clear case where the digital version of a resource is a great improvement over the "hard copy." In addition, it can serve so many more patrons simultaneously, without worrying about HOLDS and limited copies: a superior product made many times better.
We are delighted to offer you this terrific new version. Take a spin and meet Muzzy, our newest children's resource.

International Studies Abroad ®est. 1987
The landscape of the Czech Republic is as diverse as the country's history. For centuries it was often under siege and thus constantly under new rule. When communism ended in 1989, foreign visitors were allowed to enter, and what they found was a country frozen in time: cobblestone streets, austere church towers, Neo Gothic bridges, and gargantuan castles.
After the fall of communism, Czechoslovakia peacefully split into two nations - the Czech Republic and Slovakia - in 1993. Today, you will find a country filled with historical curiosities, incredible UNESCO World Heritage Sites, beautiful castles spotting the countryside and more picture perfect towns than you could possible visit during a semester abroad.
Studying abroad in the Czech Republic provides an ideal jumping off point for exploring the rest of Europe. With neighbors like Germany, Austria and Poland, you'll never be at a loss for interesting places to visit. While studying abroad in Prague you can learn to speak Czech, take classes in English and study at some of the best universities in Central Europe.
Czech Republic is in the heart of Europe and is land-locked with Slovakia, Austria, Germany, and Poland.
Prague has a mild climate with warm, wet summers and cold winters. Average summer temperatures are in the mid to high 70s Fahrenheit (20s Celsius), with cool nights.
In winter, daytime temperatures hover around 40 Fahrenheit, falling several degrees lower at night. Spring is generally sunny, the wettest months being in summer, May to August.
Snow is rare in the city but can be seen atop mountains.
For over twenty-five years, International Studies Abroad (ISA) has provided college students in the United States and Canada the opportunity to explore the world.
ISA offers a wide variety of study abroad programs at accredited schools and universities in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, England, Fiji, France, Germany, Greece, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Morocco, New Zealand, Peru, Scotland, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, and Thailand

With Joseph Altuzarra's Target Collection, Collaborations Grow Up
Hours into discussing his new collection with Target, Joseph Altuzarra still looked fresh-faced and cheerful. "I have stamina," said the 31-year-old fashion designer, dressed comfortably in a gray henley, jeans and sneakers.
That relentless energy has helped fuel a big year for Altuzarra, who picked up this year's top CFDA award for womenswear, and whose luxury brand got an investment boost from European conglomerate Kering. But the designer is thinking bigger.
"Altuzarra, I think, is still a very niche brand," he said while leaning back on a cream-colored couch in Target's temporary showroom–an airy Upper East Side space best known as Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big's dream apartment in "Sex and the City."
"I think what Target allows and gives us the opportunity to do is really invite a much broader audience into our world, and get to know our brand," he said.
Altuzarra spoke with Speakeasy about social media, and why he chose model Eva Herzigova for the collaboration's marketing campaign. The designer's Target collection, priced from $18 to $90, will be available Sept. 14 at select Target stores and Target.com, with some items also available on Net-A-Porter.
Edited excerpts:
When I hear about these types of fashion collaborations, I typically think it's designed for teenage girls or very young people. Was it a conscious decision to cast Eva Herzigova, an older model, for your campaign?
Completely. From the very beginning, Target and I were very much aligned on the idea that it was not going to be this sort of girly, flirty, young collaboration. That it was going to be really for a woman. It was going to be sophisticated. There was going to be a certain seductiveness and sensuality.
These high-low collaborations have been around for a while now. Alexander Wang is partnering with H&M later this year. How do you distinguish yourself in this environment?
A lot of it was really giving it a personal touch, with my being super involved in every step of the way–probably too involved. [laughs]

I think the differentiator when you're looking at collaborations between which ones are good and which ones are not as successful is usually like, you can tell which ones are genuine and authentic and where the designer was really there, and which ones are just a label that was tacked onto a piece of product.
I think from top to bottom in our case, there was really a strategy. There was an idea. We were talking to a woman and not a girl. We were really thinking about this idea of seductiveness. This idea of intimacy–of sort of the transformative power of clothing.
From the way that we announced the partnership, which was a very thoughtful–almost counterintuitively not social-media driven announcement. We sent out personalized boxes with elements of the collection and personalized gifts to journalists and editors.
You mentioned taking a different approach with social media. How does that work in this day and age when tweeting and promoting yourself online are so important?
Social media is of course incredibly important and I think we have to take it into account, and strategy of communication for the brand. But on the other hand I think you also have to know how to use it, and I think it's a powerful message when you don't use it as well, when you choose to instead do something that's tangible and physical.
And I think the people who received those boxes, in our case, felt very special. And they felt like it was a very intimate thing, and I wrote a personal note to all of them, sort of announcing the collaboration. I think that set the tone for the rest of the collection for people to know that it was a very personal thing.
What considerations did you have to take into account in designing for a broader audience?
In a weird way, the process and development was actually pretty similar to our own collection. As a brand, Altuzarra, we're talking to real women as well. Whether you're buying a $3,000 dress or a $60 dress, I actually think you're expecting something that's going to work for your lifestyle. You're expecting something that's going to fit, and something that's going to move with your body.
What's next for you? You've already hinted to us about a handbag collection.
We're very much in this incredibly expansive era in the development of the brand, and so we are working on a wide variety of products, of which accessories is one.
Can we expect that this year? Next year?
It's going to be a surprise!

Her last Christmas with family
Just one month before Christmas, the elderly woman had spent the day in the emergency room with her daughter Maria by her side. Unable to speak above a whisper, she asked her daughter to bring her home for what would be her last Christmas. She had spent the days since the hospital stay in and out of bed, experiencing many highs and lows. Some days she was out of her bed eating, talking and reading the newspaper, as she had always done, and other days she spent in bed, so tired she couldn't keep her eyes open.
But on Christmas, though she was experiencing new lows, she pushed herself to be with her family the entire day. This Christmas, the frail woman determined, would be like the many others she spent: in her home, surrounded by those whom she loved and who loved her deeply in return.

Through the haze of smoke in the medication area inside the Exdo Event Center in Denver Saturday, the Alpenglow Botanicals booth was a spot of bright yellow amid a sea of green.
Sporting branded tops and marijuana-leaf necklaces, employees passed around samples and explained the features of their products from behind a display case housing a dozen or so jars of marijuana.
The Breckenridge medical marijuana retailer entered locally grown samples against fierce competition in the inaugural U.S. Cannabis Cup, a pro-pot festival and professional contest between growers.
Alpenglow Botanicals owners left without awards for their products, but with a better perspective of the industry statewide.
"There was a lot of good competition out there," said Justin Williams, of Alpenglow, who manned the dispensary's booth along with a number of other employees. "There're a lot of good products and progression being made in the industry, between the hash artists and the edibles. It's good to see."
The event, hosted by High Times magazine, attracted businesses from across the state and people from across the country, drawing an estimated 10,000 attendees.
Lines wrapped around the block on Saturday, April 20, an unofficial holiday for pot enthusiasts, as people jockeyed for admission to the expo-style event, which included panels and talks, giveaways and demonstrations. Vendors showed off various consumption devices, edibles and growing technologies in separate areas for recreational and medicinal use.
Frisco's Medical Marijuana of the Rockies owner Jerry Olson also attended the event, although he didn't opt for a booth in the medication area. He said the event was a useful networking opportunity.
"It was really crowded, but it's always fun," he said. "It was much larger this year."
High Times has hosted similar events focused on the medical industry for the last two years, but this was the first time the headline event has been hosted in the U.S., following the legalization of recreational marijuana for adults over the age of 21 in Colorado and Washington. The magazine held Cannabis Cups in San Francisco and Amsterdam on Saturday as well.
"It caused a lot more excitement," Alpenglow Botanicals owner Charlie Williams said of Amendment 64, nothing that enthusiasm among retailers will depend on next moves from the state government.
It is still illegal to sell marijuana in Colorado, under the terms of Amendment 64, until a state regulatory infrastructure is in place. State lawmakers and local governments have until Oct. 1 to determine how marijuana sales will be regulated and taxed. Those decisions will be important to those, like Williams, who are now all the way in on the medical side.
"This is a product just like any other, it's not price inelastic," he said. "I'm not sure how it's going to work out in the long run. I think they're probably going to strangle the golden goose."
Williams said he's heard talk of exorbitant excise and sales taxes on recreational sales, which he believes could cause prices on legal recreational products to rise enough to push buyers back into the black market.
Alpenglow Botanicals grows all of its products on-site at its location on Airport Road in Breckenridge. Williams said he was pleased with the exposure his business got through the weekend event, he's unsure whether he'll compete again next year.
The Cannabis Cup was one of several 4/20 events celebrated across the state. One of the largest was a rally in Civic Center Park Saturday. The event, located several miles from the Cup, ended early when shots rang out at approximately 5 p.m., injuring two people among a crowd of 80,000.
For local marijuana enthusiasts, the shooting was both horrifying and frustrating, casting a shadow over the first 4/20 festivities since legalization.
"It's sad that one bad apple can ruin a good thing," Justin Williams said. "Something that should have been so positive turned negative because of one or two people."
The Denver Post contributed to the reporting of this story.

Jeff Vioski
A designer gifted with the vision as well as the training of an architect, Jeff Vioski grew up in the progressive design culture of Chicago. Through his academic studies and early career in architecture, Jeff developed a style that combines architectural theory with a strong appreciation for the way people want to live their lives. Jeff's formal training in architecture drives his furniture designs, at once discouraging non-essential design flourishes and prescribing an elegant union of form and function. Every design detail has significance, and form follows function.
Jeff holds a Master's Degree in Architectural Design from the University of Wisconsin and has been designing homes and interiors for over 14 years. He began his career as a high-end residential architect for Sutherland Architectural in prestigious Lake Forest, IL. After three successful years with Sutherland, Jeff relocated to Seattle where he worked for the commercial architectural firm Group West. Jeff left Group West to open his own firm specializing in residential architecture and interior design. There Jeff developed his warm, modern style and successfully designed numerous homes and interiors for his higher-end clientele.
Jeff's style fully developed when he migrated south to Los Angeles seven years ago. Notable for its architectural underpinnings and sleek but detailed design aesthetic, Jeff's current collection celebrates relaxed urban lifestyles and embraces the way people want to live their lives. Loving all things modern while not being restricted by any particular design movement, Jeff Vioski allows himself the freedom to transform images that inspire him into furniture that breaks new ground without being pretentious. He then uses his technical training to ensure that those designs provide common-sense solutions for the way people actually live. This marriage of aesthetics and practicality is only one of the reasons that Jeff Vioski has been a finalist in Interior Design magazine's Best of Year award five times, and has won twice.
