These are the Sons. Do not let those tuxedos fool you.
They need about 3 seconds.
Nevertheless, they are a gift from God (or so we keep reminding ourselves) and the best thing The Dress and I ever created.

Recent Event Highlights: Largest Coastal No-Discharge Zone Designated Along California Coast, EPA Establishes Landmark Chesapeake Bay "Pollution Diet", Executive Order Forming Gulf Coast Ecosystem Restoration Task Force, Water Infrastructure Improvements Needed, Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, Chesapeake Bay Executive Order, and 32 more...
Created by usepagov2 on Mar 5, 2012
Last updated: 03/19/12 at 04:46 PM
Milestones in Clean Water in the United States has no followers yet. Be the first one to follow.
The 1,624 miles of California coastline, from Mexico to Oregon, and surrounding major islands are deemed a no-discharge zone by the EPA as a ban is placed on large cruise ships and other large ocean-going ships from discharging any sewage into California's marine waters. Over 20 million gallons of vessel sewage is kept off the state's beaches, a boon to the state's economy, helping to protect marine species, fisheries, residents and tourists.
Eleven federal agencies form the Urban Waters Federal Partnership to revitalize urban waterways across the nation. The partnership announces pilot locations for initial efforts to stimulate regional and local economies, create local jobs, improve quality of life, and protect Americans' health by supporting community revitalization of urban waterways in under-served communities.
The pollution diet, formally known as the Chesapeake Bay Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL), identifies the necessary reductions of nitrogen, phosphorus and sediment from Delaware, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington, D.C. The diet is driven primarily by these jurisdictions' plans to put all needed pollution controls in place by 2025.
The task force will coordinate efforts to implement restoration programs and projects in the gulf coast region. It also will coordinate with the Department of Health and Human Services on public health issues and with other federal agencies on ways to enhance the economic benefits that ecosystem restoration will bring to the region.
EPA estimates that more than $298 billion is needed over the next 20 years to meet the nation's wastewater infrastructure needs.
The BP-operated Deepwater Horizon oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico explodes, killing 11 workers. The resulting release is the largest oil spill in American history.
EPA and federal agencies commit to actions to significantly reduce the harmful environmental impacts of Appalachian mountaintop mining operations. EPA acts on its commitment by issuing comprehensive permit review guidance, developing and publishing new peer-reviewed science, and exercising its Clean Water Act authorities to prevent unacceptable impacts, safeguard streams, and protect Appalachian communities.
President Barack Obama signs an Executive Order recognizing the Chesapeake Bay as a national treasure and calling on the federal government to lead a renewed effort to restore and protect the nation's largest estuary and its watershed.
EPA estimates that more than $334 billion in drinking water infrastructure investment is needed over the next 20 years to continue to provide safe drinking water.
EPA issues the Ground Water Rule to reduce risk of contaminations in public water systems that use ground water. Ground water had historically been considered free from contamination, but 1996 data from the Center for Disease Control showed 318 waterborne disease outbreaks over the previous two decades at systems using ground water. The new rule protects consumers regardless of their system's water source.
In Rapanos v. United States, the Supreme Court ruled that isolated wetlands could not be considered "waters of the U.S." under the Clean Water Act, but the court differed in its interpretation of how to define an isolated wetland, which has created uncertainty about which waters are subject to protection under the Clean Water Act.
EPA and industry partners join to create the WaterSense program, which seeks to protect the future of our nation's water supply by offering practical ways to use less water. Through the use of water-efficient products and services, WaterSense has helped consumers save 46 billion gallons of water and $343 million on their water and sewer bills since its launch.
EPA's series of surface water treatment rules require removal and inactivation of waterborne pathogens to protect the health of 100 million Americans who obtain their drinking water from surface water sources such as lakes, rivers, streams and reservoirs.
EPA, states and tribes begin sampling for the first assessment of the condition of the nation's small streams. By 2013, all rivers, streams, lakes, wetlands, and coastal waters of the continental U.S. will have been assessed under the national aquatic resource surveys.
EPA and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issue their first joint consumer advisory about mercury in fish and shellfish. The purpose of the advisory was to inform women of child bearing age, children and minority populations that may consume large amounts of fish from polluted waters how to achieve the positive health benefits from eating fish and shellfish, while minimizing their mercury exposure.
EPA officially moves to clean up Hudson River PCB contamination by removing approximately 2.65 million cubic yards of contaminated sediment from a 40-mile stretch of the river.
In Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. United States Army Corps of Engineers, the Supreme Court denies Clean Water Act protection for thousands of wetlands that serve as habitat for migratory birds, ruling that the Clean Water Act was being applied too broadly - "an impingement of states' power" - and that the law cannot be used to protect isolated wetlands.
Beaches Environmental Assessment and Coastal Health (BEACH) Act requires adopt water quality criteria to protect beachgoers from bacteria and authorizes EPA to provide states with grants to test beach waters and notify the public of unsafe water quality conditions.
EPA launches a website providing information on air and water toxic levels in specific communities. The idea later evolved into user-friendly maps that provide data on a specific location with the click of a mouse.
Following pfiesteria outbreaks on the mid-Atlantic coast, EPA and other federal agencies issue a federal response plan supporting state response efforts coordinating research with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and enhancing prevention activities.
EPA Administrator Carol M. Browner and Canada's Minister of the Environment sign a plan to remove toxic substances from the Great Lakes by 2006. The Great Lakes provide drinking water to over 15 million people.
The "Surf Your Watershed" tool is launched online, allowing citizens to type in their zip codes to learn about their local watersheds.
President Clinton signs amendments to the Safe Drinking Water Act to improve protections ensuring that all Americans have access to clean, safe drinking water. The law makes funding available to upgrade water treatment plants and requires public drinking water suppliers to inform customers about chemicals and microbes in their water.
Cryptosporidium, a parasidic disease spread by contaminated water, sickens 400,000 people and kills more than 100 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Now, EPA regulates cryptosporidium in drinking water through the Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule.
New York City was the last U.S. city to dump sewage at sea. It stopped as a result of its agreement with EPA under the Ocean Dumping Ban Act of 1988.
Puget Sound is first estuary to have a conservation plan under the National Estuary Program. There are now plans for 28 "Estuaries of National Significance."
Under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, most hazardous wastes must be treated before they are disposed of on land to prevent toxins from contaminating the ground water supply.
Exxon Valdez spills 11 million gallons of crude oil into Alaska's Prince William Sound and is fined $1 billion. The spill spurs the adoption of the Pollution Prevention Act.
EPA issues comprehensive and stringent requirements for nearly 2 million underground storage tanks, half of which are used to store gasoline at service stations, in order to protect local water supplies from contamination by petroleum and chemical products stored underground.
Medical and other waste washes up on shores, closing beaches in New York and New Jersey. Concern over the potential health hazards prompt Congress to enact the Medical Waste Tracking Act of 1988.
Congress amends the Clean Water Act and establishes a comprehensive program for controlling toxic pollutants and stormwater discharges, a nonpoint source pollution grant program, and special programs to clean up the Chesapeake Bay, the Great Lakes and other large estuaries. The Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund Program becomes the principal funding source for water quality protection projects. The amendments also established a program to help pay for wastewater systems for federally recognized Indian tribes and Alaska Native Villages.
EPA Administrator Lee M. Thomas names endangered wetlands as a top EPA priority and announces the new Office of Wetlands Protection. He charged the new office with researching wetlands ecosystems, reaching out to property owners and educating them on wetlands value, and strengthening protection measures.
President Ronald Reagan signs the Amendments, which require the EPA to regulate over 100 contaminants by 1991 and expand EPA enforcement power. The legislation also banned the use of lead materials in water systems and called for tighter regulation of drinking water wells.
EPA sponsors the first Ocean Conservancy International Coastal Cleanup, an annual event where volunteers remove litter and debris from beaches and waterways.
United States v. Riverside Bayview was a Supreme Court case challenging the scope of federal regulatory powers over waterways as pertaining to the definition of "waters of the United States" as written in the Clean Water Act of 1972. The Court ruled unanimously that the government does have the power to control intrastate wetlands as waters of the United States.
Federal, state and local partners initiate a clean up of the Chesapeake Bay, which is plagued with pollution from sewage treatment plants, urban runoff and farm waste. The cleanup continues today.
President Jimmy Carter signs the Clean Water Act, amending the 1972 version. The Act stressed the importance of toxic pollutant control. A construction grant over five years created thousands of jobs, aided state and local planning, and encouraged experimentation with new water treatment methods.
National drinking water standards went into effect for the first time. For the first time, all public water suppliers were required to test their public water routinely and notify their customers if water was not up to EPA standards.
Congress passes the Safe Drinking Water Act, allowing EPA to regulate the quality of public drinking water.
In the first action of its kind in the nation, the Indiana Stream Pollution Control Board issues EPA-approved permits to five Indiana companies.
Congress enacts the Marine Protection, Research, and Sanctuaries Act to prohibit the ocean dumping of material into the ocean that would unreasonably degrade or endanger human health or the marine environment.
Congress passes the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act. The purpose of the Clean Water Act is to restore and maintain our nation's waters by preventing pollution, providing assistance to publicly-owned wastewater treatment facilities, and maintaining the integrity of wetlands.
The U.S. and Canada agree to clean up the Great Lakes, which contain 95 percent of America's fresh water and supply drinking water to approximately 25 million people.
Following President Richard Nixon's "Reorganization Plan No. 3" issued in July 1970, EPA is officially established on December 2nd, 1970. The agency consolidates federal research, monitoring and enforcement activities in a single agency. EPA's mission is to protect human health by safeguarding the air we breathe, water we drink and land on which we live.
Time magazine describes how "each day, Detroit, Cleveland and 120 other municipalities fill Erie with 1.5 billion gallons of inadequately treated wastes, including nitrates and phosphates. Between human sewage and pollution from steel, paper, and automobile plants, Time magazine said, Lake Erie was in danger of dying by suffocation.
The Cuyahoga River in Ohio becomes so polluted that it catches on fire. The 1969 Cuyahoga River fire helped spur an avalanche of water pollution control activities like the Clean Water Act and the Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. By bringing national attention to water pollution issues, the Cuyahoga River fire was one of the events that led to the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency.
Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, an indignant look at pollution in the United States, jump-starts the environmental movement. Carson, a birdwatcher, worried that pesticides were killing off her feathered friends. She also wrote about harmful chemicals used for defoliation in the Vietnam War.

With the Wall-Mounted Ultraviolet Light Insect Trap from Gardner, you can achieve the cleanest space possible, even when space itself is a restriction.
That's because this wall-mounted bug trap is designed for use in confined spaces, like kitchens, hallways and other spots without a lot of room - measuring a slim 2.37 inches deep to silently dispose of bugs without the use of chemicals.
The narrow design also makes them ideal for hiding your bug trap from the eyes of guests or customers, easily stashed on top of a fixture or behind a plant while protecting up to 1,800 square feet through 30 watts of UV attraction.
Plus, it's constructed from carbon steel and painted white to blend with most neutral colors. Easily serviced, UV bulbs can be quickly swapped out through the access door and adhesive boards can be changed in seconds without ever opening the trap. Dimensions: 18.5" L x 12" H x 2.37" D.
Ultraviolet Light Insect Trap - Wall Mounted Features:
1. Use in areas of high fly activity inside doorways and docks. Flies are attracted indoors by food odors, warm air and light coming from doorways, windows, roof vents and other openings in buildings.
2. Place traps 5 to 15 feet inside a door or dock opening. Gusts of wind and breezes push small insects inside rooms.
3. You should aim the U.V. light into the building so that it cannot be seen from outside. We do not want to attract flying insects inside the building because they can see an Insect Light Trap. This is a simple mistake to avoid.
4. Space light traps 25 to 50 feet apart on the inside of exterior wall lines. The number of lights used will vary based on (a) insect pressure, (b) desired control level, and (c) view ability of light traps into all areas or hallways. Traps only work if they can be seen.
5. Wall placement of light traps is preferred. Traps located 3 to 6 feet above the floor are closer to where filth flies spend most of their time feeding and laying eggs.
Along with Ultraviolet Light Insect Trap GT-215, ePestSolutions, the leading pest control products supplier, also provides for flies including fly traps and electronic fly traps from Gardner like Gardner S- 100 Wall Fly Light, Gardner GT-180 Slimline light trap etc.

Here's how RW members rated this race (370 votes).
In short: Surrey Hills at their best, rain, wet, mud, puddles and lots of funIn full: Another perfect organised event by Rob and his team. Always great running up and down these hills with a bunch of similar minded nutters. Rained constantly but enjoyed this run immensely. Thanks to all the helpers/marshals and thoroughly enjoyed the after race cooked breakfastDate of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Incredibly hard,great experience,fantastic organisationIn full: Brutal conditions made the race even more enjoyable.This was my 189th marathon and I think the marshalls were some of the best I have come across.Camaraderie was great,out and back course so you could see the leaders coming back.All the competitors were encouraging and congratulating each other.Well done everybody,see you next year.Nick KyritsisDate of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Great race but not for the faint heared, some tough climbs and technical terrain to navigate but the race was well managed throughout and in terms of friendliness it's right up there thanks Dr Rob for another great race ! Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Hilly, wet, friendlyIn full: Fortunately I love standing in the rain singing Jerusalem before running up and down stupid wet hills for over five hours. I don't have a cold by Wednesday I'll feel cheated!But this was a great race, friendly competitors, and courageous marshalls who had to stand out for hours in that stuff, and were still cheerful about it.Thank you Dr Rob. Another clasic!Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Unforgiving terrain, unbelieveable views (or would have been if not for the cloud)In full: This is one tough course. Made all the more tricky by the relentless rain, newly formed streams and seemingly never-ending hills. But it's a great challenge, the marshalls are amazing and the other runners make sure this is an unforgettable event. I'd seriously recommend some hill training or you're in for long afternoon of walking. Oh, and if you have dodgy ankles, tape them up.Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Tough, but worth itIn full: Fabulous fabulous race. From the rain sodden Jerusalem to the crazy muddy course (Tough Mudder? Pah!) to the slippery stony ascents and descents to the windy hills and monsoon conditions this was a wonderful event. Organisation was like clockwork as always, a sense of humour pervaded everything and the participants all encouraged each other superbly. Where else would the race leader take the time to slow down slightly and offer words of encouragement to other runners? I enjoyed this so much I'm actually considering the Picnic!Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Tough, tough, tough.In full: Throw in bad weather and it's even tougher. Snorkel and flippers would have been more appropriate than trainers and a hat.Thought I'd enter this, as heard it's a tough one and I like a challenge. There were puddles (small ponds) up to our knees in places. Rain was relentless, as were the hills. The cut off time was added another dimension, which put the pressure on. Marshall were fantastic. Not sure how they kept smiling in such bad conditions, but it was so good to see them still cheeful and still encouraging you on to the finish, near the end. Definitely one to do if you enjoy pain.Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: If this run was any easier it would not be half as much funIn full: The weather as we started the 2013 half was just as bad as forecast a low pressure centred on Dorking. The puddles were so large that it was almost a duathlon. But the comradery that comes out of suffering is what makes this a truly great race at least at the end there are warm showers , food and a warm atmospehere. I will be back for more suffering next year...Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: Perfectly organised, perfectly awful weatherIn full: Not easy this one, especially given the steady rain from start to finish. A huge thanks to Dr Rob and all of the marshals who must have been frozen but were always clear and friendly. I asked a few how they kept warm. They answered in the pub before and after the runners passed through their station; the perfect answer for this brilliantly quirky race. Date of review: October 14, 2013
In short: A fantastic event (no racing for me) in which to test yourself against the elements!In full: The weather might have been a touch damp (we've all seen worse) and underfoot it was a bit on the muddy side but it just adds to the sense of theatre that an event like this already holds. If we weren't all a bit nuts we wouldn't be there in the first place.As with all Trionium events the organisation was excellent & the marshals somehow managed to keep smiling through the wet & the cold. I have a new found appreciation for soggy jaffa cakes & their ability to retain structure in even the wettest of scenarios.The only oddity was that I found people needed to be reminded that we all do this for fun! A few more smiles in the rain from fellow competitors would have made it even better but I don't mind being the cheery chap on the course. I'm never going to win one of these but I sure as hell do enjoy doing them, whatever the conditions!Date of review: October 14, 2013

Edinboro woman has many feathered friends
Robin Vascovich said she has 46 birds -- but not before taking a minute or two to count them all.
Even after nearly two decades of owning, breeding and giving foster care to birds, it's easy to lose track. Her flock wasn't supposed to be this large.
She had three birds a few years ago when Vascovich and Ray Zimmerman moved into their Edinboro-area home. At the time, Zimmerman said three were enough.
"It didn't quite work out that way," said Vascovich, 51, who has a variety of birds that includes canaries, parakeets, cockatiels and cockatoos. She also has four dogs and two cats.
"It's sort of like a zoo here," Vascovich said. "But I love my birds."
The birds and their cages are spread throughout the 2,700-square-foot home. The majority are in the living room, while six cages line an adjacent hallway so Vascovich can see them all from her chair while she relaxes. The dining room is reserved for foster birds from the Erie Cage Bird Club in Waterford Township. Vascovich has three cockatiels in there now, which she thought were males until two recently laid eggs.
Then there's what Vascovich calls the breeder room, which was going to be a library but now is home to 18 canaries, cockatiels and parakeets meant for breeding. That makes for some noisy times, especially around sunrise and sunset.
"During the day I have a lot of talkers," Vascovich said.
Jake, a 12-year-old yellow-naped Amazon, sings "Old MacDonald" quite well. Others join Vascovich in a rousing rendition of "Goodnight Sweetheart" before bedtime every night. A few know how to answer the telephone and say hello.
Some like to talk. Some even like to be petted. Others are too feisty for Vascovich to handle. "Some of them I just can't stick my hand in there," she said.
That's when Zimmerman takes control. "I don't put up with it. They back off when I open the doors," he said.
Zimmerman, 61, a teacher at General McLane High School for nearly 36 years, said, "I never thought it would get to quite this many."
But the number of birds grew rapidly after Vascovich joined the Erie Cage Bird Club and began fostering birds.
"I would go to work in the morning, and I would come home and there would be new birds in the house," said Zimmerman, who takes injections because he's allergic to birds. "When you're not here (at home), you can't very well put your foot down."
He's very understanding of the work involved to care for the birds, as well as the expense. For example, Vascovich said, baby macaws and African gray parrots cost $1,200, while some cockatoos cost between $500 and $600. They regularly purchase five kinds of pellet food and three types of seeds, because their birds need different sizes of food. They recently paid nearly $200 for three bags of pellets.
The birds also have different tastes in food. They love fruits and vegetables, as well as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and waffles.
Yet Vascovich, who once cared for people with special needs but has spent the past five years on disability because of back problems, said these birds are a large part of her life.
"I don't know what I would do without my birds," she said. "They're really important to me."

Now, the C Note
It costs $100—or more—to see a star shine
Summertime, and the living is expensive—if you hope to catch a favorite act in concert. Top-tier seats shattering the $100 barrier—U2 ($130), Janet Jackson ($125.25), Sade ($129.75), Rod Stewart (also $129.75) and the Backstreet Boys ($124.50)—are becoming the norm, causing many fans to whittle down their wish lists.
It's a trend some rockers find troubling. "Younger fans don't have as much money," Billy Joel told USA Today recently, "but they make for a better, crazier, noisier audience." Joel, who just wrapped a sold-out joint tour with Elton John, admitted his concerts' $175 choice seats were "much higher than I'm comfortable with." Not so pop's grande dame, Madonna, whose 12-city, 30-concert Drowned World U.S. tour is charging fans up to $250 for primo real estate. "No one is going to feel cheated," publicist Liz Rosenberg says of the Material Girl's first concert tour since 1993, which kicks off July 21 in Philadelphia. "This show is going to have everything—martial arts, Indian music, even the circus."
Promoters point to the travel and equipment expenses. But Billboard touring reporter Ray Wadell counters that the industry has actually become more cost-efficient with smaller lighting and sound systems. So are there any bargains? Ozzfest 2001, featuring Black Sabbath, Marilyn Manson and at least 20 other acts, says Wadell: "It's 12 hours of music for $60—that's a pretty good deal."
Taking Gingerbread? A Snap
Four years ago Shrek storyboard artist Conrad Vernon sketched a gingerbread man to be tortured by the film's wicked Lord Farquaad. How? "Dip him in milk, maybe break off his legs," Vernon, 32, recalls. He pitched the scenario to DreamWorks' Jeffrey Katzenberg, who liked Vernon's squirrely voice as much as the idea. And so the artist snared a vocal cameo as the gingerbread man in the hit computer-animated flick. That's also Vernon's voice inside the squeezable gingerbread doll sold as part of the merchandising campaign. Says Vernon: "It's weird being a toy."
Thanking Lucky Stars
For some celebs an award show is only as good as the goodies they get to take home. And this year the competition is stiff. The Tonys—set for June 3—lavished actor nominees with about $3,000 worth of gifts—including robes, Taittinger champagne and MP3 players donated by the manufacturers. "It feels like Christmas morning," says Follies' Blythe Danner. Adds The Producers' Matthew Broderick: "They get better every year." Indeed. Emmy gift baskets (featuring Nokia global cell phones) were valued at $8,000; Oscar baskets (including digital cameras) at $12,000; and Grammy baskets (with designer crystal jewelry) at $15,000.
A Cosby Kid No More
One more sign you're getting older: Keshia Knight Pulliam, the actress who played Rudy Huxtable on The Cosby Show (1984-92), graduated May 20 from Atlanta's Spelman College. "I took time off to grow—emotionally and physically" says Pulliam, now 22. But she's ready for another close-up. "I'm open to most everything," says Pulliam, who'd like to direct, produce and act. "But it's hard. People still see me as the little girl they grew up with."
Putting On (Jane) Eyres
When singer Alanis Morissette put up $150,000 to buy a week's worth of tickets to Broadway's Jane Eyre May 16, hopes ran high that the resulting publicity might keep the financially troubled musical alive. (Morissette is a friend of the show's composer Paul Gordon; the tickets went to several inner-city children's groups.) A May 20 closing notice was withdrawn, but producers would not say if the production would make it to Memorial Day.
Risky Business
Want an awards show with some real cliffhangers? Held May 20, the first World Stunt Awards honored film's most intrepid daredevils in categories such as best fire stunt. "You don't just jump out of a five-story window and hope for the best," says action flick vet Arnold Schwarzenegger. His most dangerous stunt? "Riding a horse on a rooftop in True Lies," he says, "I almost took a dive off the roof."
with Jason Cerbone
A henchman's bullet ended the life of Jackie Aprile Jr. May 20 on the season finale of The Sopranos. But what of Jason Cerbone, the 23-year-old actor who played the troubled young HBO mobster wannabe? Scoop spoke with the young man known as Jackie Jr.
How did you learn that you were going to get whacked?
I had a meeting with [series creator] David Chase. He was really nice about it. He just said, "It has nothing to do with you." Which I understand because I respect him very much. I was in shock, of course. But I've come to terms with it.
When did you find out?
When we were shooting the episode prior to it [a few months ago].
How did your fellow cast members react?
The producers, the directors, the cast, the members of the crew, they all took me to dinner. We had a party down on Mulberry Street in Little Italy, at II Cortile. I walked in the restaurant and of course I was late. So, Joey Pants [actor Joe Pantoliano, who as mobster Ralph Cifaretto gave the order to kill Jackie Jr. on the show] said, "Look, he's late for his own funeral."
You played your final scene in a coffin.
That was definitely the freakiest thing I ever had to do. They're not comfortable; obviously they don't need to be. It was really strange and spooky, even for the other cast members to see me in there. It was just creepy, y'know?
So, what next?
I'm reading a lot of scripts.
This comes out of left field, but...weren't you Luka in the Suzanne Vega music video "Luka"some time ago?
Yeah [laughs]. It was a big hit for her. I was 9 or 10 at the time.
Finally—are you dating Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Meadow on The Sopranos?
Jamie and I are just friends.
Pop Rocks
Joe Sumner, the 24-year-old front man for the budding rock band Santa's Boyfriend, is the son of Sting, 49, and his first wife, Frances Tomelty. Although one critic said the guitarist "inherited his pop's charisma genes," Joe wants to make it on his own. So please, Dad—don't stand so close to him.
Seeking reassurance, Laura San Giacomo had the phrase It's Going to Be All Right painted in bright red letters on her bedroom wall. Apparently it worked, for the star of NBC's Just Shoot Me recently sold her three-bedroom home in Studio City, Calif., for $541,000. Her former 1,858-sq.-ft. house features a balcony overlooking a black-bottom lagoon pool, a spa and a touch that real estate agent Chuck Bartlett, who handled the sale, calls "warm and homey with a loose eclectic feel"—sunbursts custom-painted on the kitchen cabinets. The inspirational motto, alas, was painted over before the sale.

Two men at the home were detained for questioning, deputies said.
Witnesses said they saw two or three cars driving away from the scene after the shooting, though it is unknown if the occupants were involved, police said.

There is a great deal of uncertainty surrounding the 2011 NBA free-agency period. With the NBA lockout in effect and no clear end in sight, there is no way of knowing when teams will be able to begin pursuing free agents and how much flexibility teams will have in doing so. With the new Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) under negotiation, the salary cap has yet to be set and owners are unsure how much money they will be allowed to invest in players.
In addition, there is always the chance that a rule change could occur and alter the free agency landscape. One such rule that could potentially be reinstated is the Allan Houston rule, which would allow each team to release one player from the roster while having that player's contract removed from their total payroll. Although that player would still be payed his contract by the owner, it would not count against the team's cap space and he would be free to sign a new contract with another team.
If such a rule were to be reinstated, it would greatly open up the flexibility of teams like the Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards and Portland Trailblazers, who would be able to open up their cap space by releasing, Gilbert Arenas, Rashard Lewis and Brandon Roy, respectively.
Therefore, teams like the Magic, who at the moment appear to be completely devoid of the flexibility to pursue high-end free agents, could have far more flexibility under the new CBA. This potential for change makes it very difficult to accurately predict the cap situation of teams heading into the free-agency period (whenever it might occur).
Consequently, I have written this article to highlight the ideal player for each NBA team to sign, regardless of their previous cap situation. In addition, I have not included re-signings that teams would be wise to perform, as the purpose of the article was to suggest a new player that each team should bring in.

Lesnar And Junior Dos Santos TUF 13 Coaches!!
After months of speculation and more than a dozen rumored names, UFC president Dana White today announced heavyweight contenders Brock Lesnar and Junior Dos Santos will be coaches on the upcoming 13th season of "The Ultimate Fighter."
White made the announcement during a media call.
"The Ultimate Fighter 13" debuts March 30 on ****e TV, and a live finale is slated for June 4. The coaches meet in a season-ending fight at an event to be announced.
Although initially announced as a middleweight and welterweight season of the UFC's long-running reality series, MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) reported earlier this week that producers instead opted to make "TUF 13" a welterweights-only show. Production begins this month in Las Vegas. In an elimination round of fights, 28 hopefuls will fight for 14 official cast spots. The show uses a 32-slot tournament, which includes two "wild card" picks who earn a second life in the quarterfinals.
Over the past couple months, many UFC veterans had been rumored for potential "TUF 13" coaching slots, including Frankie Edgar, Gray Maynard, Frank Mir, Shane Carwin, Wanderlei Silva, Chael Sonnen, Chris Leben, Brian Stann, Dominick Cruz, Urijah Faber, Anthony Pettis, Jose Aldo and others. Ultimately, though, officials went with the big men, Lesnar and Dos Santos.
White said Velasquez's recent shoulder surgery and long layoff opened the door for Lesnar and Dos Santos, which then "made all the sense in the world." However, no interim title will be on the line when the coaches fight, though the winner gets an immediate title shot with Velasquez.
Lesnar (5-2 MMA, 4-2 UFC) is a former titleholder who lost his belt to current champ Cain Velasquez in October. The former WWE star has emerged as the UFC's top pay-per-view draw, and his inclusion in "TUF" should translate to big ratings.
Dos Santos (12-1 MMA, 6-0 UFC), meanwhile, recently claimed top-contender status by posting a 6-0 record in the UFC. Recent wins have come over Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic, Gilbert Yvel, Gabriel Gonzaga and Roy Nelson.
"TUF" debuted in 2005 and proved a ratings hit. It also helped the UFC's and MMA's move into the mainstream. Since the debut season, the show has launched the career of more than 100 UFC fighters, and past cast members Forrest Griffin, Rashad Evans and Matt Serra went on to win UFC titles.

How long has Brock Lesnar been training in MMA? Is he really in any position to be a coach.
I know it is just a tool to get ratings and sell the last fight but still, seems a bit ridiculous.

I would of thought that the contestants would be teaching Brock more.
Does this also mean that Dos Santos will be fighting Brock?

I think having Brock as a coach will make things interesting. At the end of the day, TUF is (like a lot of UFC programming) full of hype and sometimes lacking in real substance, so I don't see this as much of a change for the show.
He doesn't have great skills or a varied game, but I think he can do a good job with the right people assissting him. BJP is more skillful than Pulver, but Pulver was a better coach because he seemed to have better motivational/people skills.
Brock-JDS will also make for a bit of a personality clash on the show and style clash in the cage, which is a good thing I think. I think JDS will take it because his TKD is better than Brock's striking, making it more likely that he'll get it done standing before being put on his back by a takedown.

Daily Journal Corinth Bureau
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation has begun the investigation of a second officer-involved shooting in Alcorn County in less than a month.
Neither the name of the Corinth police officer nor that of the shooting victim is being released at this time, but the victim was transported from Magnolia Regional Health Center, where he received initial treatment Thursday night, to The Med – The Regional Medical Center in Memphis.
According to a press release from the Corinth Police Department and Chief David Lancaster, Lancaster called MBI after an officer discharged his weapon about 10:15 p.m. Thursday during the attempted arrest of a suspect.
According to Lancaster's report, the officer went to a house on Allen Street after the police department received a call reporting a man with a gun had forced his way into the home. When the officer arrived the suspect had left, and the officer went on to the suspect's residence on Clay Drive, where the shooting occurred.
When the officer arrived at the suspect's home, the suspect opened the door with a handgun pointed at the officer, according to Lancaster's report.
The case remains under investigation by the MBI, and further information will not be released before Monday, either by the MBI or Lancaster, the press release said.
The MBI also continues the investigation of a shooting involving an Alcorn County deputy two days before Christmas.

What we need is somebody who can edit these documents and make them specific to Personal Trainers, Fitness Professionals Who Run Bootcamps and Also PT Studio's and Larger Establishments (Like Crossfit Boxes and larger Gyms Like Fitness First)
I have attached a sample of one of the documents which is 26 pages long and is on "OH & S" Occupational Health and Safety.
When you read it, you will see that there is plenty of great information and content in there, and much of that is REQUIRED learning for the people that undertake our course. However, you will alos read some information that I would consider to be irrelevant, including things like page 19 which taliks about "surviving a robbery" which I would consider to be a low threat as a Personal Trainer.
Instead, I would suggest having some more "PT industry specific" content in there that could be a risk for Personal Trainers, for example;
1 - running outdoor bootcamps and being aware of ground surfaces, (eg not running up a hill or down if it is wet and slippery
2 - having clients perform exercises like "box jumps" where there is danger of them having an accident, and taking progressive steps to make sure they are able to perform such activities
3 - considering that all equipment is tested and not a potential safety risk
4 - how to pick up heavy objects (dumbells, kettlebells etc) with good posture
5 - having signage that warns people to do things like put their weights back
so, really we need this document more "tailored" to the fitness industry

Is This the World's First Space Beer? No.
Has a brewing company finally managed to launch their beverage into space? Will astronauts finally be able to swig a brewski in low-Earth orbit? Have scientists finally found a solution to the anti-social "wet burp" phenomenon?
Well, according to the brewers of Natural Light — the fifth largest-selling beer in the U.S. — a couple of Facebook fans have done just that: They've successfully launched a can of "Natty Light" into space! But to call a beer "space beer," it actually has to go into space — something this can hasn't done.
WATCH VIDEOS: The Future of Spaceflight
ANALYSIS: Space Beer Reaches for Final Frontier
Friends Danny B. and Rich T. approached the company with the idea to send the beer into space, and the reaction unsurprisingly was "Go for it!," according to the Natural Light Facebook page.
After constructing a "spacecraft" out of a Styrofoam cooler, packing it with thermal gloves and placing a camcorder plus GPS tracker inside, all the two men needed was a vacuum-packed full can of Natty Light plus an empty stand-in. Oh yes, and a weather balloon to attach the whole kit to.
What was the craft called? "The Aluminum Fullcan." Where was it going? "The Nattmosphere." Genius.
ANALYSIS: On Tap: Space Beer Testing
The launch was a success (see video below), with the Natty Light Facebook fanpage (which generated the space beer buzz in the first place) reporting that the Aluminum Fullcan ascended to more than 90,000 feet before the balloon popped. The Aluminum Fullcan then dropped to Earth via parachute, and Danny and Rich picked it up two hours later, floating in a river (or lake?) 60 miles from the launch site.
Mission success? Yes and no.
Yes? The stunt generated a buzz, culminating in overly excited articles in the international tabloid press. It was a viral campaign that obviously worked.
No? THE BEER NEVER WENT INTO SPACE.
I know this will probably seem like a technicality to Danny, Rich and the brewing company, but 17 miles is nowhere near "space." The internationally recognized boundary where the Earth's atmosphere ends and space begins is around 62 miles in altitude — a boundary known as the Kármán line. Sadly, weather balloons don't go that high. If they did, NASA would use really big balloons to carry astronauts to the space station.
WIDE ANGLE: Space Food and Orbital Dining
Space beer has become something of a fascination for me (particularly its implications for human space settlement), and I'm glad to report that the "first" space beer isn't going to be a light beer! The first bona fide space beer — as in, a beer that is brewed for the purpose of being enjoyed in space — will most likely be a strong, reduced-carbon dioxide stout. Nice!
Earlier this year, the Australian 4 Pines Brewing Company, working with Astronauts4Hire, actually put some research into the space beer conundrum and, after a series of zero-G flights, developed "Vostok."
Vostok is a full-flavored, low-carbon dioxide beer that not only addresses the loss of taste during long-duration spaceflight, it also reduces the risk of the "wet burp."
To quote an earlier Discovery News article:
"(In space) there's little gravity to keep the fluid in your stomach, but you still need to vent that carbon dioxide that is expanding inside your belly. You try to burp … but you end up venting the carbon dioxide, beer, and whatever else was inside your stomach through your mouth and nose. This, my friends, is called a "wet burp"; an explosive near-vomit experience guaranteed to gross out anyone who has the misfortune to be floating around with you."
Sorry, Danny and Rich — nice try (and I am impressed by the effort), but your can of beer that went into the "Nattmosphere" barely pushed into the stratosphere, so it's not space beer. It's just "beer that floated really high."
But one thing I've learned when consuming alcoholic beverages, things always seem a little exaggerated. So, after finishing your sixth can of Natty Light, feel free to impress your friends by saying it's the world's first space beer (just hope they don't read Discovery News).

At clinic and on side trips, Bushes' Africa visit focuses on empowering women
NSONGWE, Zambia – For many years, Maitidah Nyemba and other women in this picturesque village 20 minutes outside of Livingstone had to travel long distances on a dusty, rocky road to get fresh vegetables.
But thanks to an innovative agricultural program – funded by in part by the United States Agency for International Development and operated entirely by the village's women – Nyemba and others now have enough to feed their families and boost their incomes by selling the extra crops.
"We feel so empowered," Nyemba, a 43-year-old mother of five, said through a translator.
Former first lady Laura Bush – in Zambia with her husband, George, to promote the cancer-fighting initiative Pink Ribbon Red Ribbon – toured the site Saturday before heading into Livingstone to help refurbish a health clinic.
Hailing the farming project as a "wonderful example of how women … can bring money in for their families," Laura Bush said the concept and others like it will be a key part of the African First Ladies Summit the Bushes are hosting next week in Tanzania.
"It's really important, worldwide, that women have a chance to contribute to their economy," Bush said.
Most of the Bushes' four-day stay in Zambia is focused on renovating the Mosi-Oa-Tunya health center in Livingstone. And both George W. and Laura Bush spent hours Saturday cleaning, scraping and painting the clinic.
The rehabilitated facility will open Monday, as the first women in the community will arrive to get screened for cervical cancer.
But the former first lady's side trip to Nsongwe nonetheless tied in with the Bushes' visit – and the broader vision of the George W. Bush Institute, part of the presidential center at Southern Methodist University.
Check out tomorrow's Dallas Morning News to read the rest of the story. And click here to read the News' first dispatch from Africa, as the paper travels along with the Bushes in Zambia and Tanzania.

The Bard himself once wrote, "Alas 'tis true I have gone here and there/and made myself a motley to the view," so he'd probably be the last to cavil at this gloriously mounted traveling show of Shakespeareana. Opening next week at the William Rockhill Nelson Gallery in Kansas City, the exhibit includes priceless books, manuscripts, paintings and costumes from the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., which houses the world's most extensive collection of Shakespeare material. This is the first U.S. tour of its treasures.
At the entrance is a sort of electronic marquee flashing quotes and facts like "Do you know that 23,000 students in your city are reading Julius Caesar at this moment?" The opening room re-creates Shakespeare's native Stratford-upon-Avon. The next stop is Elizabethan London, shown in rare etchings and paintings and books from the Queen's household, including her father's copy of Cicero, inscribed, "Thys booke is myne, Prynce Henry." (He was Henry VIII.) Children will enjoy a handsome wooden model of the Globe Theatre, where many of the plays were first staged. Bringing one back to date are scenes from movies—Laurence Olivier doing "Alas, poor Yorick!" from Hamlet, Orson Welles going bonkers as Macbeth, and Leslie Howard and Norma Shearer in Romeo and Juliet. Perhaps the highlight, however, is the first collected edition of Shakespeare's plays (only Pericles is missing), published in 1623. Henry Clay Folger, founder of the collection, called it "the most precious book in the world," since such works as Macbeth and Julius Caesar might have been lost without it. The Folger library owns 79 of the 240 existing First Folios; four of them are with the show, which moves to Pittsburgh in June, Dallas in October and Atlanta and New York City next year.

Gas Explosions in Taiwan Kill at Least 25
Hundreds Injured in Series of Blasts in Kaohsiung, Taiwan's Second-Largest City
TAIPEI—Deadly explosions caused by a gas leak overnight killed at least 25 people and injured 257 in the southern Taiwanese city of Kaohsiung, according to government officials.
Underground explosions in Taiwan's second-largest city triggered fires that ripped off manhole covers on roads and cratered large boulevards, local television footage showed. Roads exploded with flames, overturning cars and collapsing houses. Many streets are still littered with rubble and impassible by ambulances.
Economic Minister Chang Chia-juch said Friday that officials are still unable to determine what caused the blast, though an initial investigation indicated the leak could have occurred in an underground pipeline that transports propene, a highly flammable, nearly odorless petrochemical used for polyesters. Kaohsiung is one of Taiwan's centers of petrochemical production.
In a Friday video conference broadcast on local television, Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chu asked President Ma Ying-jeou to review the city's underground petrochemical pipeline system to avoid future accidents.
The situation now has been contained, the government's Emergency Operations Center said, and the fire department had cut the pipeline's gas supply shortly after the explosions.
The chance of further explosions is "extremely slim at the moment because all gas supply has been turned off," said Kaohsiung city spokesman Ting Yun-kung.
The center added that 111 of the injured were already discharged from hospitals, while at least two people are still missing. A photojournalist for Apple Daily, a popular Hong Kong newspaper, was injured near an explosion site while covering the incident, the paper said.
Some people said tearfully on local TV that their families or friends are likely buried in collapsed houses, though reports are unconfirmed. Four police and firefighters are among the dead, the center said. Earlier it had reported 270 injured.
The Kaohsiung government has set up its own emergency center. The Ministry of National Defense said it has deployed more than 1,600 military personnel to assist in the rescue operations.
Mr. Chang didn't identify the company that operates the pipeline in the area and said the investigation is ongoing. A number of petrochemical companies scrambled Friday to distance from the blast.
The government said the fire department was notified by residents of possible gas leaks at 8:46 p.m. local time Thursday. Residents said that they had smelled gas and seen smoke emerging from drains shortly before the explosion. Officials still aren't certain what caused the smell. Firefighters were dispatched to the scene immediately to assess the situation, according to a government official.
Multiple blasts began around midnight, affecting an area of two to three square kilometers, or less than two square miles. One video clip posted on YouTube shows what looks like a narrow residential street suddenly exploding down its length.
Local companies have pledged tens of millions of New Taiwan dollars to the rescue operation. Formosa Plastics Group, a Taiwanese conglomerate, said it would donate NT$20 million (US$665,912) while Foxconn Technology Group, a key Apple Inc. supplier also known as Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., pledged NT$10 million. Smartphone maker HTC Corp. HTCXF 0.00 % and its charity foundation together pledged NT$10 million and computer manufacturer Acer Inc., ACEIY 0.00 % NT$2 million, the companies said.
Flags throughout the island are ordered to fly at half-mast for the next three days and condolences have flooded social media, where people are forming volunteer groups to help distribute food and hygiene supplies.
The cause of the explosion and the owner of the leaky pipeline are still unknown. Government-owned refiner CPC Corp. said it doesn't own the pipeline. LCY Chemical Corp., a petrochemical maker, which local media reported as the owner of the pipeline, also issued a statement that said its pipeline was more than 10 meters from the site of the blast and carried propene, which may not have the smell the residents reported.
The government said it is still too early to determine the cause of the explosion or where the gas leak began because the area is covered with rubble, impeding the research team from thoroughly surveying the grounds and examining the pipes. The complex web of pipes beneath the city makes it difficult to assess the types of pipes damaged and their ownership, the city's spokesman said.
Local brokerage First Financial Holding Co. said the explosion, the worst of this type in Taiwan's history, is unlikely to hit the electronics supply chain in the south. Many suppliers are located in the Kaohsiung Software Park, about 2 kilometers away from the blast area. Some may be hit by temporary outage of electricity and water supply, it said.
Explosions and fires, some caused by gas leaks, have hit petrochemical complexes in Taiwan in the past, though most were contained inside the compounds.
The blast is the second deadly disaster in Taiwan in two weeks. Last Wednesday, a TransAsia flight crashed in an outlying Taiwanese island and killed at least 48 aboard.

on December 30, 2012 - 12:06 AM
The Canisius women's basketball team snapped a five-game losing streak with a 56-55 win over Vermont in the Koessler Center on Saturday.
Meanwhile, Niagara ran into a powerful Michigan team, losing to the Wolverines, 82-44, in Ann Arbor.
The Golden Griffins used a 10-0 run in the second half to gain the lead. A layup from Brooke Angelos capped the run, giving Canisius a 56-50 lead with 4:27 left to play. Vermont held the Griffs scoreless the rest of the game while the Catamounts (3-10) inched back in. Their final put-back attempt hit the side of the rim, allowing Canisius to hang on for the win.
"It seems like it is never easy to end a losing streak and today was no exception," Canisius coach Terry Zeh said. "We had a good run to gain control of the game, but our offense slowed down in the final minutes and we need to improve on not getting passive late in the game."
Ashley Durham led the Griffs (3-8) with 12 points while Jamie Ruttle added 11 points with three blocked shots.
In the Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor, Michigan shot 62.1 percent in the first half to pull away early for the win over Niagara.
The Wolverines (11-2) enjoyed a 45-20 halftime lead. Niagara started the second on an 11-2 run, but Michigan quickly regained control of the game.
"I thought in the second half we did a much better job of being aggressive," Niagara coach Kendra Faustin said. "I thought defensively we did a much better job of pressuring and did some switching, so I'm certainly proud of that effort. I thought we were really tentative early and they're so good and so big, it makes it really tough."
Lauren Gatto led Niagara (5-6) with 12 points and four rebounds.
Today's games
The St. Bonaventure women will host N.C. State at 1 p.m. today in the Reilly Center. The Bonnies (7-6) have won three of their last four games.
The Wolfpack is 7-5 this season, coming off an ACC loss at Miami on Dec. 20. They are coached by Kellie Harper who was the point guard on three national championship teams at Tennessee.
The Canisius men play at Detroit at 3 p.m. in the final game of the Chevrolet Gotham Classic.
The Griffs (9-3) are coming off a win over Alcorn State on Thursday. The nine wins for the Griffs before Jan. 1 is their most ever and four more than all last season. Detroit (7-5) is the defending Horizon League champion. The Titans are 6-0 at home.
