I read an interesting commentary regarding the question of sin in our lives and in our world. In Joan Chittister's "In My Own Words" she asks, "What is sin?" and says that question has changed her life completely.
Chittister's words challenged me. Nobody wants to think about sin and sinfulness. It's such a downer, but I began to question how many times and in how many ways I had indulged myself in activities or omissions that occurred at the expense of others.
"We have never seen what we're getting ready to see," Katie McGee, superintendent of Brunswick County Schools told county principals Tuesday at a summer retreat. "We've never seen it. Everybody in here has got something to celebrate."
The cause for celebration—14 of 17 school made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for 2008-2009 school year. Lincoln Elementary School, West Brunswick High School and Brunswick County Academy did not make AYP.
A new kidney awaits 8-year-old Jarrod Danka, who will undergo transplant surgery next week.
Daryl Anderson Jr., Jarrod's cousin, was the last of three potential donors tested and the only one to be approved as an organ donor.
"I was kind of surprised," Anderson said of being notified he was the only approved donor for Jarrod, "but I am very happy to be able to do this."
The substitution seemed insignificant.
The Brunswick County Dixie Boys team had just scored a run to take a 6-2 lead in the third inning over Dunn in the first-round game Saturday of the state tournament at Smithville Park.
With two outs, Tanner Sellers singled. Manager Randall Morrison then had pinch runner Travis Oliver enter the game. He stole second and later scored on Ricky LaChance's single. Brunswick went on to win 12-2 in six innings.
SOUTHPORT—Brunswick's Junior Dixie Boys baseball team (13-year-olds) is 2-0 in games through Monday in the state tournament being played this week at Smithville Park.

Chad McCumbee nearly had his fifth top-10 finish of the season, finishing 11th Saturday in the Built Ford Tough 225 at the Kentucky Speedway. A late-race collision dropped the SS Green Light Racing team driver out of the top-10 with three laps to go.
McCumbee started 19th and patiently waited for the handling of his truck to improve during the early stages of the race. A bold move by the Bobby Dotter led SS Green Light team moved the tiwi Chevy into the lead on lap 36.
Earth Angels Child Care Center in Shallotte has received a state-funded grant to help prevent childhood obesity.
The Preventing Obesity by Design II grant, a partnership between the Natural Learning Initiative of N.C. State University and the North Carolina Partnership for Children Inc., was awarded to about 30 centers in North Carolina.
BOLIVIA—After a closed session Monday night, Brunswick County Commissioners voted to sell an easement on county-owned property to the N.C. Department of Transportation.
County attorney Huey Marshall said commissioners approved the department of transportation's approximately $21,000 offer for an easement and property on N.C. 133 near N.C. 87 for the future expansion of N.C. 133. While DOT officials are still acquiring property, once construction begins, DOT would fund the relocation of any utilities if needed, Marshall said.

Cat5 Beauty: Were lips meant to be this sexy?!?!?
On a recent outing to check out the latest in makeup and beauty, I absolutely HAD to stop off and check out Chanel's new Fall 2012 collection. All I can really say is OMG OMG OMG SIL SIL SIL!!!! Their new Rouge Allure Extrait de Gloss in Troublant is absolutely-positively THE BEST lip gloss I have ever put on. The color is so flippin' amazing, like instant love, once you try it on there's no way not buying it immediately will be an option. The shade feels very mauve, very natural, yet such a sexy feel from the combination of shade and shine. To get a real feeling of what I'm describing, picture bright red lips and how lips that shade give off such a bold and sexy vibe. On the opposite end of the sexy spectrum, this shade is more overtly sexy, which is the best way to go when thinking about everyday sexy. In addition to the color, it's such a lightweight smooth formula there's no annoyance when you have it on. In particular, glosses with really strong fragrances or very sticky textures can feel overly done when you're living in areas with a lot of heat during the summer (i.e. Virginia @ 104 degrees!). When you find a great gloss in a truly beautiful shade with a great blend, you snatch it up! The only thing that kept crossing my mind as I stared at my lips in the mirror…"Were lips really meant to look this sexy?" YES, YES THEY ARE!

It's always been human nature for people to want what they can't have. And in the investment world that can often be summed up by wanting all of the upside with none of the pain. Is this possible? Maybe not. But by adopting a structured, risk-managed approach to investing, would you be happy to eradicate most of the pain but still see a rate of return ahead of inflation during the up times? If your answer is 'Yes', read on…
If you've been reading my column over the past few months, you'll know my thoughts on what is needed to lay the foundations of a robust financial plan – pay off your debt, build up a sustainable level of liquid emergency funds, put in place sufficient safety nets aligned to your personal situation and write your will. Once all these boxes are ticked, we can move forward and start creating a pot of wealth that provides the financial peace of mind and security we all desire.
Just as the 'putting all your eggs into one basket' analogy preaches, this peace of mind won't be found by picking winners – predicting that the price of gold is going to bounce back in the next 12 months or picking a single equity such as Apple and hoping its share price will be back to the heady heights of over 700 this time next week is not the answer. Placing your eggs in different baskets is what I'm talking about. Let me explain…
There are 18 asset classes out there, within which you can invest your money. These range from cash and fixed interest at the more cautious end of the spectrum, all the way up to commercial property, precious metals, commodities and equity-based investments, which are spread far and wide across every continent. So which asset class will come out on top during the second half of 2013? Which asset class will achieve the best returns throughout the whole of next year? Whatever anybody tells you, however passionate their argument is, nobody knows – and that's a fact.
I don't want to get too technical here, but back in the late Eighties, a Seattle-born money manager by the name of Gary Brinson dedicated much of his time to studying this in detail. He summarised his findings by suggesting more than 91.5 per cent of a portfolio's return can be attributed to its mix of asset classes – not just by picking one or two asset classes and hoping to get lucky.
In Brinson's study, individual stock selection and market timing accounted for less than 7 per cent of a diversified portfolio's return. Put simply, a little bit of everything aligned to an individual's appetite for risk is the way to go.
Let's bring things back to real life a little, but firstly we need to ask a question: what are the chances that in any given year, all 18 asset classes will see a positive return? The last time this happened was in 2005, so it's a rare occurrence. A more realistic question may be: what are the chances that over a five- or ten-year period, more of these asset classes will go up rather than go down? 'Very likely' would be the answer, certainly over the medium to long term.
OK, so now I want you to imagine you are on holiday. I'm going to use the example of the British seaside – warm and sunny one minute, the next thing you know the heavens have opened and you're running for cover. Visualise a vendor plying his trade along the beachfront. He's a wise old soul, and rather than just selling ice creams, he's done his homework and has a selection of umbrellas ready to sell when the weather turns.
He's taken a diversified approach and adopted the clever ploy of selling two products that are negatively correlated. He's happy – he should be able to make a decent living whatever nature decides to do on any given day.
Working with a financial professional and constructing a robust investment portfolio doesn't have to be as daunting as many people would have you believe. If you go for the red-or-black roulette approach of picking just one asset class, then guess what, you'll fall flat on your face before you know it.
By adopting the structured approach I've illustrated above, keeping a regular eye on your appetite for risk and reviewing your portfolio regularly, you'll be able to sleep easy come the end of the day. And that is a fact.
Right, I'm off for an ice cream now, but I'm taking my brolly with me, just in case!

CBU named a 2014 "Best Regional University" by U.S.News & World Report
RIVERSIDE (Sept. 10, 2013) — U.S. News & World Report has included California Baptist University on its list of the nation's "Best Colleges" for the eighth straight year.
CBU is ranked No. 42 in the West in the publication's "Best Regional Universities" category for 2014, up from No. 58 the previous year. The ranking places the university in the top tier of educational institutions across the nation.
"I am pleased that California Baptist University is once again recognized in this influential ranking of higher education institutions in America," said Dr. Ronald L. Ellis, CBU president. "It is a strong affirmation of the quality and value of the CBU experience for current students and a significant factor for prospective students to consider when making their college choices."
U.S. News & World Report ranked the 1,376 institutions in their list using a quantitative system of 16 weighted indicators of academic excellence, including student selectivity, graduation rates, assessment by peer institutions, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.
The category of Regional Universities includes those that offer a broad scope of undergraduate degrees and master's degrees but few, if any, doctoral programs.
"Best Colleges" rankings are featured in U.S. News & World Report's each year to aid prospective students and their parents looking for the best academic values for their money. A full list of the rankings can be viewed at www.usnews.com/colleges.

Ann-Margret: Perfect coral opaque
Coral opaque with pink undertone. Named after iconic red headed actress/singer Ann- Margret.
Amour Beauty is the brainchild of rocker/ model and new mom Theo Kogan. As the singer for the most notably the all- female band Lunachicks, Theo is known for her over- the- top makeup styles. She has modeled for Calvin Klein, Burberry and Kenneth Cole, to name a few and has acted in film, television and in avant- garde theater. A lip gloss that would stay on during a high- energy performance was something Theo craved and so she created what she considers the missing piece in the beauty industry: Naturally based, long wearing, Rock 'N' Roll lip gloss.

Comments about armour beauty lip gloss, ann-margret, .21 oz:
I was so excited to try the new Armour line as I've heard wonderful things about their staying power. Unfortunately, the opaque colors are very thick & hard to get off when you want to. "Ann Margaret" said it was coral with pink undertones (I'm a light blonde with fair-to-medium translucent skin...no yellow undertones). This shade looked neon on me...almost clownish...even with it dabbed down. There was no pink undertone at all...just screaming orange that drained every bit of color from my face. Had to remove immediately! I love the texture of the gloss & how moisturizing it is. In the other color I ordered, "Hello", a bubblegum 1960's pink, it works with using a lip brush or my finger. That color is great dabbed-down a bit & a keeper. Hope to be able to exchange for the shade "Edie", as I've heard that is a perfect opaque nude. again, love the texture & idea behind this gloss, just need to really try on the colors & no store in Boston is carrying yet. To beauty.com: I thought I was getting one free to try if ordered two? None in box.

The Central Christian College men's tennis team will participate in the inaugural NCCAA Central Region tennis tournament hosted by McMurry University in Abilene, Texas.
This is the first year that participation in the NCCAA National Tennis Championships will be determined by regional play, meaning whoever wins the regional tournament goes on to represent the Central Region at the national tournament in Mobile, Ala., May 6-10.
The Tigers will have an uphill battle as they will face two very talented NCAA division II teams in the McMurray University War Hawks, and the Dallas Baptist University Patriots.
The War Hawks made the jump from NCAA DIII to DII this year, and compiled a 9-7 season record. They are currently ranked No. 6 in the latest NCCAA Tennis Poll.
The DBU Patriots have struggled to a 4-19 season record, but have played some very tough opponents.
The Tigers were to have squared off against the War Hawks on this morning at 10 a.m. Results were unavailable at presstime.
Central will face the Patriots on Saturday at noon.

House Republicans Start Drafting Alternative to Obamacare
A group of House Republicans will kick off an effort Wednesday afternoon to coalesce around a GOP alternative to the president's health-care overhaul, lawmakers said.
The "House Obamacare Accountability Project," a group of about 30 Republicans who have been meeting since May, will start tackling how to winnow the bevy of GOP health-care bills into a Republican counterproposal to the Affordable Care Act, the 2010 health law.
"We have a lot of different ideas on health care," House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.) said in an interview Wednesday. The group has been functioning as a "mini think tank" on health-care ideas, he said, and is now shifting its focus to pinpoint which ideas could secure the support of most House Republicans.
Their goal is to coalesce around a plan that "actually works, controls costs [and] gives the ability for greater choice," said Mr. McCarthy, who leads the group with Republican Conference Chairman Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R., Wash.) "There are four or five major bills already out there and there's about three or four areas where they are all the same so you start from there…and you work out."
One of the group's first decisions will be whether to unify behind a single GOP bill or a combination of several proposals.
"Personally, I favor a single bill — I think it's much easier to explain," said Rep. Phil Roe (R., Tenn.), a member of the GOP health group. Mr. Roe led the Republican Study Committee's effort to draft its most recent health-care proposal, which he has been discussing at outside events and with the Tuesday Group, a selection of more centrist House Republicans.
On the policy front, Republicans will also have to make tough choices about how far to expand coverage and how to address it in the tax code, some of the thorniest components of any health proposal.
Separately, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R., Va.) is meeting with a group of key committee chairmen later this week on a health-care alternative. The two groups are working in concert to see what ideas draw wide support across the GOP conference, aides said.
Mr. Cantor told Republicans at last month's private retreat to expect a floor vote this year on a GOP health-care proposal. Advancing their own plan marks a shift from Republicans' strategy which so far has focused on criticizing the botched roll-out of the president's health-care law. GOP lawmakers want to showcase their own ideas in the months leading up to this fall's midterm elections, but unifying behind a Republican alternative also opens them up to criticism over its policies.
Democrats are sure to scrutinize any GOP plan and highlight any ways in which Republicans' vision falls short, whether by covering fewer Americans or taking away popular elements of the new law.
Any GOP health-care plan is expected to include ideas that so far have been broadly popular among Republicans, including the sale of health-care insurance across state lines, expanded health-savings accounts, high-risk pools to cover those with pre-existing conditions and overhauled medical liability laws.
Mr. McCarthy said there is no set timeline for Republicans to settle on their plan.

Poetry winner: a Winter jingle
December 4, 2009
A good time was had by all last night at the Bardroom. Congratulations to Arlo from Massachusetts for his winning entry in the evenings poetry competition. Just goes to show that humor is always a crowd pleaser:
When I felt his Santa claws,
grabbing at my Xmas balls;
Of my eggnog I took a sip,
and crossed him off my Xmas list
Poetry winner: An Estonian tune
December 11, 2008
How does Gabor Mandy so often manage to win the poetry competition? At our last event (Nov 29) we award him our special grand prize – a rubber chicken Elvis. (Please don't ask.) Here is Gabor's winning submission:
Dawn at the sea.
there's nothing to hear
except the waves.
No whales,
no birds,
no words,
just the wind is whispering.
Suddenly a girl starts singing
what is, I assume,
an Estonian tune.
The girl is cute,
I'm in my Baltic mood.
I'm wondering – whether
Estonians and Hungarians
are like sister and brother?
Poetry winner: Halloween Love Song
October 29, 2008
Our poetry competition winner was once again, Gabor Mandy:
When you told me, "I love thee,"
you scared the hell out of me.
But that's all right, I love you too,
it doesn't matter what you do.
You are wicked, you are mean,
you are the worst I've ever seen.
You are my girl. Don't take me wrong.
This is a Halloween love song.
And the winner is … David A. Hill
October 15, 2007
The winner of last night's Bardroom writing competition was David A. Hill (not to be confused with Bardroom founder, David Hill). At the end of the evening, David suggested we post the winning exercise to the blog, an idea we found to be excellent.
The assignment was to write a poem, essay or statement inciting the assembled Bardroom collective to rebellion …
We don't like them, they don't like us.
We smell of shit, they look like pus.
We wanted peace, they made a fuss.
We dealt in truth, they offered sus.
So here we are, diametrically opposed,
so here we are, our values all deposed,
so here we are, our disrespect supposed,
so here we are, where we're going no-one knows.
David A. Hill

The youngest of eight, Mary Ann was born in Quito, Ecuador, which had been brought under Spanish control in 1534. She joined the Secular Franciscans and led a life of prayer and penance at home, leaving her parents' house only to go to church and to perform some work of charity. She established in Quito a clinic and a school for Africans and indigenous Americans. When a plague broke out, she nursed the sick and died shortly thereafter.
She was canonized by Pope Pius XII in 1950.

The Laboratory
by Robert Browning
The Laboratory Questions
Bring on the tough stuff - there's not just one right answer.
- Do you think jealousy always leads to bad things, like in this poem? Could jealousy ever make good things happen in your life?
- Can evil things be beautiful? Can you have a beautiful poison, or a beautiful murderer? Is there some way to see ugliness on the inside by looking at the outside?
- Could you see the lady in this poem being on a reality show? Real Housewives of the Seventeenth Century? We'd probably watch that.
- Have you ever been mad enough at someone to do something you might really regret? Did you recognize any of your feelings in this poem? (Not the psycho killer stuff, of course—Shmoop knows you better than that!)
- Do you think we love and hate in different ways now than we did a hundred or two hundred years ago, or does that all stay pretty much the same?

Southern California Tech Central
We are excited to announce the launch of this community of people in Southern California who have come together to help find and organize the best content from blogs, news sources and other web sites all around technology in So Cal. The goal is to create a place where it's easy to find current and highly relevant content. And perhaps to stimulate new connections. This site is being sponsored by Technology Council of Southern California and TechEmpower.
You can get a sense of the power of the site by visiting and clicking a keyword on the left. For example, if you click on Startup, you find:
=> The most recent posts, announcements and web pages on the top of the page that relate to Startups.
=> The best (according to social signals across the network) content below that such as:
=> The keywords on the left are ordered according to their relationship to the current term. So you can see that
are all considered highly relevant to the term "startup."
As the site runs, it will get better at finding great content. You can find Featured participants listed on the right hand side of each page. When you choose one of them such as Cliff Allen on Marketing, you will see the keywords are now based on what Cliff discusses more than other bloggers. You can see that he talks about: Marketing, Metrics, Customer and Social Media more than most. Lower on the page, you can find the best posts from Cliff based on social signals with the top spot belonging to his 9 Marketing Trends for 2009.
This site has brought together of an impressive network of people who focus on this topic. All of this technology comes from Tony Karrer. If you have ideas on how to improve the site or want to do something similar, I know that Tony would like to hear about it.

Next, David addresses a more challenging subject: a humming hive of honeybees. Working quickly for obvious reasons, David uses his camera's automatic, through-the-lens (TTL) flash-exposure mode along with a ring-light adaptor for the strobe. The course concludes with some insights on David's approach to lighting and his choice of subject matter.
- Balancing daylight and flash
- Using a grid modifier to control flash lighting
- Using TTL mode to work quickly
- Choosing subjects that make good stories
Skill Level Intermediate
Jim Now, this is what I took out of that. Male Oh, cool. And that's, that's the core of the hive there. That's what you're building on? Jim This is plain old comb and it's got lots of honey in it. Male I'm rethinking this whole being a foot away from bee sting without the net so, we'll, we'll see. >> (INAUDIBLE). Male Oh, you got one on your jacket just crawling around. I'm going to give them a second to settle. Is that okay? Jim Yep. Male And rotate around more towards where Dave is.
yeah, Dave in black. There we go. I'm going to come in quietly. Okay, Dave, I don't know if you're going off in there. Dave I don't see it going off. Male Okay, hold for a second. Check our connections, one, two, half the button. There we go, Yep. So, you want to be on his face.
Yeah, I can see now. Raise it up just a little bit. Oh, no. Okay, so Dave Pyle raise the light up just a little bit. Jim, you, Jim you're doing great. Dave Do you want a different piece of comb? Male No, I like this a lot. Dave Shows up against the white background, maybe. Male It does. Very well. And this is the kind of thing I'll go in and tweak, after the fact. Rather than try to light it against the white, I'll tweak it in Photoshop to bring those levels up just a little bit.
I didn't say that out loud, but that, that's common. Jim, if you could rotate around a little more to your left. Jim I'd like to get another piece with more bees on it. Male Okay, okay. Jim If we're talking bees, (UNKNOWN). Male I'll take it. So, looking in this now. The, the, the special that Dave Keil is holding is a is an SB800, now down as far as it can go. So, that's 128 power. We're running a little grid. A little 1/8 inch grid, which obviously looks. Jim This says lots of activities on them.
Male Okay. You've got my full attention. Never mind. Male Okay. So, rotate around a little to your left, Jim. Jim My left. Male Other left. There you go. Jim Stage left. Male And come forward just a little bit. Jim} Alright. Male You're tall, so I'm cheating your height a little bit. Jim Right. Now, this has some. I, I broke off, and there's honey exposed. Male Is that firing? Dave I tested it. Male Yep, it is, yes it is firing, I just checked it. Okay? We've got it, okay, an action second.
Yeah, it's sometimes it's very hard to see, it's just a little bit of a wink. And Jim, I want to make sure I can see your face, as you're, there you go, that's, that's good, when you're looking down at them. at the bees. Yep. I've got you in there now. Jim I haven't had a phone call all day. (LAUGH). Dave That one was sound. Male It's firing. Okay hold for a second. Jim No flash. Male Yep, I most certainly have a bad bad cord in there.
Now, I'm set on a 128 power back on here and a 16th power up there, so I almost, literally motor. I don't have to wait for these flashes to recharge at all, it's fantastic. Alright Jim, we're ready whenever you are. Jim This is a piece of comb. Male Okay. Jim There's some root closest to my left hand. Male Okay, Dave are you firing? Yep, you are. One more stop of power out of that Dave, if you could. Jim There's some open honey there. Male Okay, there we go, now we got it.
Okay we're good, that's it. So, they're actually, they're working in there now. Are they mostly staying warm? Are they, are they making something or? Jim they will be covering the brood. And at some point they're going to tap the honey over there. Do whatever's next. It's late in the season for them to be tapping honey. Male We, we got the one warm day this, this, this week where we felt comfortable bringing them out.
Jim Yeah. Male Okay, I've still got intermittent on this flash here. Let's check and see. Okay? Let's give it a try. Okay, and rotate around a little to your left and move right into there if you could. There we go. All right. Okay, aim right at his face Dave, there you go perfect.
Jim It's too bad this is sort of special case meaning that these aren't you know, your typical frame bees. Male I kind of like that natural look though to be honest with you. Jim It is interesting. Male Okay, let's see if we're firing. Okay, don't cover that window. There we go. Okay, Jim, turn in where you're facing almost more in towards. There, there we go. I want, I want that light to be able to see your face. There we go, perfect. Let's switch the raws for just a moment.
Bump, bump, bump. Now, a hard thing, I want to make sure I'm focusing up under this veil. And I am. I'm, it's hard to it's hard to see that light up under there. There we go. Okay, I'm on my last two frames. down like you were a little more. There, there you go, just, because he can see you fine up under there. And rotate a little around more towards your left. That's good.
And here comes the sun all of the sudden, not a moment too soon. Okay, could you rotate the bees to where I could see them just a little more? perfect, perfect. All right, that's great. I'm going to grab a close up of those guys in just a moment, okay? So, we look nice up under his face so that's good.
I'm double checking focus while everyone is still here. It's not easy to focus up under that that bee veil. That's actually pretty neat. Hey Jim, just pop down in there just like you did just a moment ago. So, the special light that we've got on the on the bees, is working as an interesting light for him too.
It's funny, you know, I spend all the time doing the lit shot and this might be the shot that ends up going in the in the, in the web site. Never, never like, pass up that little moment, turn around and see it. Thank you very much.

For a lot of African-American boys from poor neighborhoods who can do magical things on a basketball court, college is viewed merely as a temporary way station on the way to the NBA. A ticket out of poverty.
The same athletes whose sweat powers the collegiate basketball industry -- nearly $800 million in annual revenues -- too often never graduate. Only a small fraction make it to the NBA. When their dreams of stardom don't pan out, they are left with no degree and few employment prospects. We've all heard the sad stories of once-promising athletes whose lives took a downward spiral into drugs and sometimes even prison.
NBA Hall of Famer Isiah Thomas' mother, Mary, was determined he wouldn't become one of those statistics.
When Thomas, a college basketball star, left Indiana University -- where he played for the infamous Bob Knight -- in his sophomore year to enter the NBA, she made him sign a contract promising that he would finish his undergraduate degree.
Thomas returned to Indiana during summers to earn his bachelor's in criminal justice with a minor in sociology.
On May 19, he is scheduled to graduate from UC Berkeley with a master's degree in education. Thomas, now a television commentator for NBA TV who lives between Chicago and New York, says he'll return to Berkeley to march in commencement in his cap and gown.
Thomas has come a long way from growing up in public housing so poor that he sometimes had to sleep in all his clothes because his family couldn't afford heating oil to NBA superstardom and now a vocal advocate for teaching scholarship athletes to put their education first.
What made Thomas, 51, return to college at this stage of his life? A man who is among the select group of 151 players to be inducted into the Hall of Fame since 1959? A 12-time NBA All-Star who led the Detroit Pistons -- known as the "Bad Boys" for their aggressive style of play -- to championships in 1989 and 1990? A former head coach of the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks, entrepreneur and television commentator?
"I'm from that generation that believed education was the success model, not an NBA championship," Thomas said during a recent interview at UC Berkeley. "Once I receive a master's from Berkeley, now I'm a success."
Thomas' mother, who died in 2010, was an activist who worked with Fred Hampton, deputy chairman of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party, who was killed in his Chicago apartment in a police raid in 1969. She marched with Angela Davis, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X when they came to Chicago.
Thomas says those were his heroes -- not the entertainers in sports and music that children are brainwashed to revere today.
Thomas, who still has his boyish looks and trademark smile, is soft-spoken but forceful about his views on the exploitation of African-American male athletes. Over the years, he says, he has seen athletes shuffled into classes that kept them eligible to play basketball but that didn't lead to graduation.
"If you look at the NCAA Final Four graduation rates for the black male athlete, it's poorer than poor," he said. "There's no excuse for that."
When Thomas took over the lackluster men's basketball team at Florida International University in Miami, he said he stressed academics over athletics, and 19 of 21 team members graduated. However, FIU fired Thomas for the team's dismal performance on the court -- which he says came as a complete shock.
It was at FIU that he discovered a book by UC Berkeley Graduate School of Education professors Jabari Mahiri and Derek Van Rheenen, "Out of Bounds: When Scholarship Athletes Become Academic Scholars." Mahiri and Van Rheenen came to FIU.
Thomas was so inspired by their ideas for motivating athletes to become scholars that he ended up enrolling in Berkeley's master's program. He has commuted and attended class via Skype.
Thomas will receive a master's in education with an emphasis in the cultural study of sport and education.
His focus is the academic achievement of black male athletes from "poor and marginalized" backgrounds.
"I take the approach that you educate first, and the athlete comes second," Thomas said.
That philosophy, unfortunately, doesn't lead to too many NCAA coaching jobs.

As part of an overall effort to save fuel and increase efficiency, airlines are replacing bathroom seats with lighter models. Just kidding, we meant passenger seats. But the first one isn't that far out of the bounds of reason either. [NYT]
So, passengers, please, squat over the poop-hole and hope you don't fall backwards.
Fuel's expensive, bitches.
All this effort, and all it takes is one extra lardass from Nashville to make it all for not. Price by weight already.
Sloppy editing – they are replacing passenger seats, not bathroom seats
What suprises me is how many TVs are still flying around with big tube TVs for the entertainment system. Thats a good 40 lbs of lard per screen x 10+ screens, or two passangers worth of fuel!
Northwest has studied everything from providing customers with packing tips to serving soda from two-liter plastic bottles rather than individual cans. But it decided that customers would balk at that idea.
"They like the can," Mr. McGraw said. "They want the can."
Wait, Northwest actually listened to their customers?
I thought they were just using glued bottles of hand sanitizer now, not bathrooms.
Bathrooms are SO 2002.
@Rozelle's Bagman: All for naught.
Charging by weight, in addition to being rude, lawsuit-baiting, and a public relations disaster, wouldn't stick around that long, because airplanes are filled by the seat, not by the pound. Airlines would get attached to the money they made off of larger people and continually up the base rate to make sure they weren't losing money on skinnies.
@Rozelle's Bagman: Hell yes.
If they didn't offer such disgusting "food" I'd imagine less people would use the bathrooms.
cmdrsass: Try reading the actual front page blurb before spouting off.
@Me: They updated the blurb after I posted that, but thanks anyway jackass.
@Kajj: As much as no one would like to admit it, people are freight when it comes to flying. The more weight, the more fuel used. Simple mathematics. Easiest way to accomplish it would be to have someone stand on a scale and the ticket prints out based on weight, without the weight listed. The passenger would have the option of seeing the weight recorded if they felt it necessary. Hell, if we weren't the fattest nation in the history of the planet, everyone could fly cheap!
Airlines obviously did replace the bathroom fixtures (from stainless steel to composite) some years ago.
This is the difference between (loss-making) US airlines and (profitable) anywhere-else airlines.
They – the profitable ones – have rolled over their fleets, replacing gas-guzzlers with fuel efficient aircraft, they've trimmed their organisations, optimised their workflows and they did all this during times of high profitability when there wasn't a pressing need to to do so.
Do they now have a low cost base, deliver efficient networks, low debt, good credit ratings (which means cheaper financing) and are better equipped to weather the present storms?
Of course they do/are!

Softcore erotic films are all but dead these days. Oh sure, they're still being made but their cultural significance is at an all-time low. Before the days of readily available internet porn, late night movies on 'Skinemax' were the only option for audiences who were seeking cheap sleazy thrills but too embarrassed or just plain lazy to go out and buy pornography. The 1990's in particular were host to a string of erotic thrillers – most of which seemed to be about sex therapists for some reason – with titles like Dangerous Indiscretion, Lethal Seduction and Body Chemistry 4: Full Exposure. In honor of Valentine's Day, New Adventures in Netflix will spend the whole month of February looking at softcore erotica available on Netflix Instant Streaming, starting with the Latin-flavored infidelity psychothriller Depraved. You're welcome.
Oh yeah, and I know it's January 31st. Shut up.
Depraved stars professional sexy people Anthony Guzman and Seidy Lopez as Dan and Ophelia. They're happily engaged until they begin living out their kinkier fantasies in real life. Whereas once they were praved, now they are less so, and fulfilling their sexy desires eventually leads to jealousy, sexual dysfunction and, naturally, murder. Murder most foul! It's a low budget exploitation film with delusions of psychological grandeur. Every time the film tries to have an honest examination of the young couple's sex life it's interrupted with weird, weird weirdness that reminds you that we're mostly watching the movie to see Seidy Lopez's perky pillows and Anthony Guzman's (admittedly dashing) derrière, no matter how 'deep' writer/director Rogelio Lobato thinks his movie really is.
One night Dan and Ophelia share a fantasy about sharing their bed with another man, which months later leads them to act on their carnal desires by hiring two guys to break into their house, tie Dan up and have their way with Ophelia in front of him. Dan's initially aroused but later confused by the experience, leading to sexual difficulties that upset his fiancé over a string of poorly written arguments. My favorite is when Ophelia gets angry at Dan for forgetting the first rule of improv: always agree with whatever your partner gives you. You see, she said she wanted to be his 'sex cow' and he didn't know what the hell she was talking about, breaking the mood. "If I say I want to be your Caesar salad just go with it!" she gripes. Wow. What would that be a metaphor for?
It's hard not to sympathize with Dan's predicament. First, yes, the cow thing was a little weird. Second, that whole group sex scenario was probably moving a little fast for him. Seriously, his first group sex experience is a violent home invasion scenario? That's like teaching a kid to swim by dropping him into the Marianas Trench... from a helicopter. He probably shouldn't have ignored the warning signs: later in the film he's talking to his sexy and very physically available sex therapist (see, told you) played by Silk Stockings' Barbara Niven and confesses that Ophelia told him – on their first date – that she lost her virginity when she was kidnapped by aliens. Hmm… That's one red-looking flag...
Saved By The Bell's Mario Lopez co-stars as Dan's brother Jesse, who is hopelessly devoted to his brother in the kind of way that only exists in movies. When Ophelia's dead body turns up in the hot tub after a disastrous Valentine's Day (that is to say, it was disastrous before the murder), Jesse's first reaction is to get rid of the body. Actually, his first reaction is to utter the film's most memorable line, "You put the O.J. on her, man!" But immediately afterwards, yeah, he proves that he's never seen movie before in his life. I mean, seriously, if you ever found a dead body wouldn't you at least think to yourself, "Man, maybe I shouldn't do what they did in Very Bad Things?" At the very least Lopez looks absolutely hilarious dragging Ophelia's corpse around in a plastic garbage can, but that's probably not what Rogelio Lobato was going for.
Depraved peaks early on and has serious trouble getting up again as the film limps towards its 'thrilling' 'climax,' but there are moments when it actually feels kind of relatable. I particularly like the bit where Ophelia and Dan are making love and he asks who she'd like to have a threeway with. Her response: "Andy Garcia." His response: "Who's Andy Garcia?" (It's nice to see a film with a timeless quality.) You can tell I didn't write the screenplay though, because I kept running the scene over and over in my head as if I had:
"Who's Andy Garcia?"
"You know, the actor."
"Not ringing any bells."
"Well, okay, he was in The Godfather Part III."
"Pfft! I didn't see The Godfather Part III…!"
"He had that neck thing in Dead Again… Okay, you know what? I think we're getting a little off-topic."
"Oh man, I loved Dead Again…"
"I know, right?"
"We should watch that right now."
"Let's do it!"
Depraved is very poorly shot, choppily edited and patently ridiculous. If it wasn't so slowly paced it would be perfect. Softcore nudity abounds and the saxophone-laden score reminds you that it's supposed to be tawdry. Not highly recommended, but given the dearth of erotic thrillers from Shannon Tweed, Joan Severance and Julie Strain on Netflix Instant Streaming you could do a lot worse this Valentine's Month. We'll be back next week with more softcore erotic action – of a sort – on New Adventures in Netflix.

Fire investigators are looking into what caused an explosion at a Kansas Department of Transportation building in northwest Kansas.
The fire broke out in Oakley around 1 a.m. Thursday. George "Pappy" Lies, Gove-Logan County emergency management director, said a large fireball flew into the air, and started a grass fire.
The wind played an issue because it spread the grass fire pretty quickly.
Crews from Lane, Logan, Oakley and Gove counties were called to help battle the blaze.
Two firefighters had be checked out at the scene, but they weren't seriously hurt.
The building housed equipment and offices, and is a total loss.

About Dell'Ugo New Farm
"La Cucina e passione"
The Kitchen is Passion
"La Cucina del cuore"
..As most would know, besides being short tempered throughout the world most chefs follow recipes to the letter on every aspect. Italian chefs however, have been brought up to create and produce from the heart rather than the textbook. "The right amount of" or "a handful of" is virtually non-existent. This has come to be for two reasons, initially because of the confidence shown from people who work on a daily basis & because no two chefs can agree on the ingredients, let alone the preparation in creating a dish. We have tried to keep the tradition by adding just a touch of modern influence. Some may not agree with this but I'll let you be the judge of that. - Chef Nicola

KKR Posts $347.7M 4Q ENI; Sees 'General Stability' in Economy
KKR & Co. was busier returning money to investors than it was making new deals last year.
The New York alternative asset manager, which reported an increase in fourth-quarter earnings from a year ago Thursday, also reaped the benefit of returning cash to backers, with at least one fund gaining traction among cash-happy investors.
The firm took advantage of numerous exit paths last year—secondary stock offerings, selling to corporate buyers and debt-funded dividend events—which helped KKRore 20 liquidity events in 2012. The firm was able to return a neat $9 billion to limited partners or fund investors, KKR executives said on a conference call today discussing the results. About a third of that cash, or $3 billion, was returned in the fourth quarter alone.
By comparison, KKR deployed less capital—about $7 billion—in new deals last year than in 2011, which led to less transaction fees recorded for last year.
The lower fees were more than offset by higher valuations of its portfolio and higher carried interest from the firm's funds, contributing to $347.7 million in economic net income for the fourth quarter, up $62.2 million over a year ago.
Despite the lower amount of new capital deployed in 2012, KKR executives struck a more optimistic tone when speaking about the deal environment this year.
"There is general stability" in the economy, said KKR's Scott Nuttall on the call. "The credit markets are wide open. [At] the investment committee of our private equity business, the level of dialog and activity is up quite meaningfully over the last few months."
In addition, KKR's mezzanine and special situation business in Europe is also busy despite the continued uncertainty in the European economy.
"When there is general stability, companies in general want to do something," said Mr. Nuttall.
On the fundraising front, investor appetite helped KKR sail through marketing of a new pan-Asia fund, which will be closed shortly with $6 billion in commitments; however, its most recent North America buyout fund had to stay in the market for a few months longer than KKR had originally planned.
Mr. Nuttall said KKR decided to extend the marketing period for the vehicle, North America XI Fund, to the second half of this year, a move expected to help the New York alternative asset manager to hit the fund's previously-lowered target.
That fund has received total commitment of $7.5 billion to date. With the extension of marketing, KKR is "very comfortable" that the fund will hit the "high end" of a $7 billion to $8 billion range for that fund, said Mr. Nuttall.
That range had been lowered from an initial range of $8 billion to $10 billion, in part due to investors' less appetite for mega-funds. The lower target range is "more reasonable," Mr. Nuttall had said previously.

Cal Halts Pepperdine's Run at NCAA Tournament
May 12, 2012
BERKELEY, Calif. – The #41-ranked Pepperdine women's tennis team's season came to an end today in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. California, ranked #9 by the ITA, issued the Waves a 4-0 loss.
Pepperdine, who won the West Coast Conference regular season title, concludes the 2012 dual season with a 16-9 record.
The Golden Bears (19-6) won the doubles point, but not without a fight. Arianna Colffer (Corona, Calif./Buena Vista) and Ali Walters (Newport Beach, Calif./Creekside Christian HS/UCLA) went game-for-game with Annie Goransson and Anett Schutting. The Cal duo, ranked #5 in the ITA doubles rankings, earned a late break however and won 8-6 to clinch the point.
Lorraine Guillermo (Walnut, Calif./Rowland HS) and Khunpak Issara (Bangkok, Thailand/Bangkok Patana School) rebounded from an 0-4 deficit to come back within two games but were unable to play out the match once the doubles point had been decided.
Guillermo and Issara finish the year with a 20-3 record in duals. That winning percentage (.870) ranks ninth in Pepperdine's single-season record book, while the win total of 20 ranks fifth.
California, boasting five ranked players in its lineup, controlled the pace in singles and earned wins from courts two, three and six. Colffer was the only Wave to win a set, posting a 6-4 decision versus #48 Tayler Davis. The opposing players were tied at 1-all in the second frame when the Golden Bears clinched the team victory.
Although the team's season is over, Issara and Guillermo continue on and will compete in the NCAA Doubles Championship beginning May 23 in Athens, Ga.
#9 California 4, #41 Pepperdine 0
1. #8 Jana Juricova (CAL) vs. #62 Khunpak Issara (PEP) 6-1, 3-1, unfinished
2. #13 Zsofi Susanyi (CAL) def. #105 Ale Granillo (PEP) 6-0, 6-1
3. #30 Anett Schutting (CAL) def. Lorraine Guillermo (PEP) 6-0, 6-1
4. #48 Tayler Davis (CAL) vs. Arianna Colffer (PEP) 4-6, 1-1, unfinished
5. #67 Annie Goransson (CAL) vs. Ali Walters (PEP) 6-4, 2-1, unfinished
6. Alice Duranteau (CAL) def. Megan Moore (PEP) 6-2, 6-2

Artist: Ethan Kent
Album: Work In Progress
Street Date: 1/21/14
Record Label: Tonic Blueprint
Genre: Urban/R&B/Soul
iPod Pick: Your Love
Welcome newcomer Ethan Kent from Wisconsin (Milwaukee actually) and former worship leader at the Faith Christian Center Arlington, Texas whose single 'My Hope is In Glory' has been on the charts for a while. Let's see what the album in its entirety delivers.
I liked the rap on 'W.O.R.K' by Marcell Tennyson. It sounded like all we loved of rap before it seemed to lost soul. On 'Work In Progress' we hear the opening line 'Change begins with one'; the song grows into a very inspiring tune that almost gets you hugging whoever is next to you, WHOEVER. The sound of Ethan Kent is reminiscent of more focused R. Kelly mixed into some Mali Music and maybe some Travis Greene. He's got soul, the guitars are on point. There is also a maximization of the choir type BGVs.
Though I notice that Ethan tends to lean on the neo-soul genre vocal styling with a bit of R&B in between, it would be great to stretch himself vocally for his next project. Though he does this on some songs (Take This Pride, Always be Around, Bring Us to Our Knees, My Hope is in Glory), I believe there seems to be some untapped potential somewhere in there.
Sometimes the songs seem to be a very great ride in a repetitive circle sounding a bit like something we've heard before (Good to Me, Trustin' (which from the intro brings to mind infact sounds like a cover of Donnie McClurkin's 'Trusting In You' From the 'We All Are One' project), The Name of The Lord ) and sometimes they seem to be top of the world. For example, the piano intro on 'Take This Pride' would get you drawing near a window or taking a long walk. And I must say, Ethan SANG it on this one. Also the song 'Your Love' would get you calling up your friends for a dance party. It is mellow, beaty and catchy all at the same time. I love it!
Thematically the records does lack some focus. We hear songs about community and coming together ( Work in Progress, People), God and his love (Take this Pride, Your Love, The Name of The Lord, Bring Us to Our Knees) and Relational love (I Found Her, Will You Marry Me) and lots more. This might be a good thing for a pop album where the focus are the catchy hooks and beats but for a "not so" upbeat record, the theme always shines more.
Listening to Ethan Kent's record brought to mind a quote by Theodore Roosevelt I love so much
"It's not the critic who counts; it's not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood. Who at the best, in the end knows the triumph of high achievement. And who at worst, if he fails, he fails daring greatly"
I think I can say all I like and all I don't really dig about Ethan's Work In Progress but the fact is Ethan is in "the Arena" daring greatly and it can only get better. Let Ethan inspire you and remind you that if you are breathing with feet firmly planted on God's green earth, you are a WORK IN PROGRESS. He is too, with his music and craft and we are going to be hearing more from him in the future. Just like for every colorful butterfly we love to have this might be the metamorphosis stage.
Get Ethan's 'Work in progress' and be a part of the process

'The Vampire Diaries,' Season 3, Episode 1, 'The Birthday': TV Recap
Welcome back to "The Vampire Diaries," the supernatural soap that's been diary-free since 2009. Here's where we left things last season: Damon loved Elena and got bitten by a werewolf. Elena loved Stefan and kissed Damon, just to keep things interesting. Stefan loved Elena, traded himself for a cure for Damon's bite, and basically became Angelus—e.g. evil übervamp/werewolf hybrid Klaus's right hand demon. Vampire Caroline and werewolf Tyler obviously loved each other, but couldn't be together. Jeremy… existed. All caught up? Good.
We open with a scene from Stefan and Klaus's Death Tour 2011. They arrive at a big, old, white house in rural Tennessee and, after Klaus fails to charm one of its inhabitants into inviting him in (note to Klaus: telling someone, "I promise I'm not a serial killer, I just want to us your phone!" just makes you sound more like a serial killer), he compels her to do it instead. Once he's in, it's only a matter of time before Klaus gets the girl and her friend to confess that Werewolf Ray is at a nearby watering hole—and it's even less time before Klaus commands Stefan to kill both women. Stefan does as he's told, though not without looking handsomely tortured.
Meanwhile, back in Mystic Falls, Elena heads over to Damon's to let him know she has it on good authority that Stefan and Klaus might be in Memphis. She walks in to find a stark-naked Damon, who's just emerged from a bath—hooray, Season 3's first gratuitous shot of Damon's beautiful torso! Happy birthday to you, Elena! After Damon gets decent, she tells him about Stefan's possible whereabouts, and he promises to go to Tennessee.
He soon makes good on that promise, road-tripping with Alaric all the way to a certain big, white house. Inside, the pair finds a chaotic mess of blood and gore, along with the bodies of the two girls who used to live there. Damon examines the corpses and immediately recognizes his brother's handiwork. See, they used to call Stefan "The Ripper" because when he feeds off humans, he goes crazy and tears them apart. Then, when he's finished, he feels remorse for what he's done and reassembles the bodies. Who else thinks this Stefan is much, much more interesting than Brooding Lovelorn Stefan? Damon covers his brother's tracks by dousing the remains in gasoline—yes, because a burned-out living room won't look at all suspicious to local law enforcement officials!
As Damon and Alaric examine the carnage, Klaus approaches Werewolf Ray at a divey bar. The Big Bad explains his hybrid status and his desire to "create more of me," then politely asks Ray to direct the vamp toward his pack. When Ray refuses, it's torture time. Stefan is viciously throwing darts at the wolf when a woman arrives to tell Klaus that the other Salvatore is on his brother's trail. Stefan promises to deal with Damon, and Klaus, amazingly, lets him leave.
Stefan makes good on his promise by breaking into Mystic Falls's local news station and putting plucky Andie Starr—who's still "dating" Damon—under his spell. He compels her to call Damon and ask him to come to the studio. There, the brothers finally meet again. Stefan asks Damon to stop following him, and Damon retorts that Elena won't let him do that. But Stefan's got a trump card in his arsenal: The bewitched Andie, who's standing on a catwalk high above ground. Stefan compels Andie to move, and she does—thus immediately plummeting to her death. That's enough to convince Damon that his brother really is a lost cause.
Elena, of course, doesn't believe this. When Damon arrives back at his home base, he finds that the woman he loves is furious: she's discovered that he's been tracking Stefan all this time without telling her. Even after Damon reveals that Stefan, not Klaus, is the one who's been murdering people up and down the eastern seaboard, she refuses to give up on her One True Love. At the end of the episode, Stephan calls Elena—and though he doesn't make a sound, she intuits that he's on the other line and gives him some much-needed words of encouragement: "Stefan if this is you, you'll be okay. I love you, Stefan. Hold onto that. Never let that go."
Declarations of love aren't going to be enough, though, since it appears that Klaus is making good on his promise to create more hybrids. After Ray finally admits where his pack is, Klaus forces the wolf to drink his half-breed blood, then snaps his neck, turning him into another creature altogether. I smell trouble.
Though the adventures of the Elena, Stefan and Damon take up the bulk of the episode, a few more plot strands also move forward. Jeremy is still seeing ghostly apparitions of Vicki and Anna, his vampire ex-girlfriends, though he can't tell why they're there and what they want. Even the magical power of marijuana won't make them disappear. And Caroline and Tyler spend the hour flirting—seems vampires and werewolves both suffer from extremely high libido, which explains why there are so many TV shows about them—fighting, drinking, and, after Caroline pries the wolfman away from a girl she calls "Slutty Sophie," finally getting naked together.
After they've done the deed and Tyler is snoozing peacefully, Caroline quietly gets dressed and goes to leave the Lockwood mansion. Before she can go, she runs into Tyler's mother—awkward! But what appears to be a merely uncomfortable encounter turns sinister when Caroline discovers her purse has been coated with vervain—and when Mrs. L. quickly and efficiently pumps her full of tranquilizer darts. And that, girls, is why you don't sleep with a man who still lives with his mother.
What did you think of the first episode of Season 3? Are you liking Damon's new, longer hair, or do you (like me) think it's a tad too mullety? How long do you think Badass Stefan will be with us? And how pumped are you for Bonnie to get back from her dad's and start throwing down some serious witchery? (Answer: so pumped.)

VIENNA - Incoming Vienna city officials were sworn into their offices for a second time on Friday following questions about the validity of the first ceremony Thursday evening.
"We had some concerns because the state is not exactly clear on when or how a magistrate judge is able to officiate a swearing-in, so we did it again," said Vienna Mayor-elect Randy Rapp on Friday. "I had everyone come into the city building and be re-sworn in."
Questions arose about whether the first swearing-in actually gave Rapp, council members Paul Thornton, Steve Stephens, Jim Miracle, Roger Bibbee and Bruce Rogers and city recorder Cathy Smith the powers their elected positions guarantee. This is because Wood County Magistrate-elect Joe Kuhl presided over the original swearing-in ceremony on Thursday.
Because Kuhl is not technically a magistrate with the powers to officiate such a ceremony until Jan. 1, it was not clear whether the first event was proper, Rapp said.
"You never know where there are questions, so we just decided to do it over and make sure it was done right," Rapp said. "We did it the second time to make sure everything was done properly, so there are no questions out there."
For the second swearing-in, city clerk Carla Starcher officiated as she is a notary public.
According to Jake Glance with West Virginia Secretary of State Natalie Tennant's office, notary publics are able to swear in officials.
"A lot of the time, the only requirement for people to have the authority to swear in city officials is they need to be a notary," Glance said.
Rapp said he was pleased to have the city officials in place and sworn-in with more than enough time to spare until the new year.
"We still have four days until Jan. 1, so it is done and properly, that's all we need," he said.

Abyss jazzes up towels
June 9, 2004-- Home Textiles Today,
WINDSOR, N.J. — Portuguese-based luxury bath towel manufacturer Abyss will introduce Jazz, a two-tone contrast bias towel later this summer for the New York International Gift Fair, held Aug. 15 to 19 at the Jacob Javits Center.
A 500-gram, 100 percent Egyptian cotton loop towel, Jazz is durable, absorbent and low-lint, the company said, adding that the towels tend to be lighter, more fluid and dry faster than others. Due to a production and finishing process developed by Abyss, the bias shrinks at the same rate as the towel, preventing puckering from taking place, the company said.
