Izdihar "Ester" Najjar, owner of Cyber Oasis, had been indicted Thursday in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on nine counts of money laundering, two counts of gambling and one count of operating a gambling house.
The operators of Internet, or sweepstakes, cafes say they sell Internet or telephone time and use slotslike computer games as a marketing tactic. Critics say the cafes are illegal gambling operations.
Gov. John Kasich signed a law June 4 that would effectively put the cafes out of business in Ohio by prohibiting cash jackpots and limiting the value of other prizes to $10. The law will go into effect 90 days from the signing, but industry representatives have vowed to gather enough signatures to place the issue on the ballot.
Cuyahoga County has filed criminal charges against a cafe software supplier, companies and individuals that market and distribute the software and cafe operators. Prosecutor Timothy J. McGinty has vowed to keep pressure on the cafes.
About 45 customers were in the Cyber Oasis at the time of the raid, according to the county prosecutor's office.
The Department of Public Safety was joined in the raid by the Secret Service, Postal Service and Parma Heights police. The Parma Heights police have been involved with the agencies in other cafe investigations.

PORRENTRUY, Switzerland (AP) -- It's always been a dangerous proposition, sending nearly 200 riders hurtling down a road at 40-plus miles per hour, their featherweight bicycles thrusting mere inches apart.
Do it in the Tour de France, cycling's most prestigious event, and it's a recipe for disaster.
And that's what's happened in the 99th edition of the Tour. Seven days into the race, the Tour has already been ranked as the most dangerous one in decades, with at least 20 riders pulling out of the three-week event following crashes.
Defending Olympic champion Samuel Sanchez was the latest high-profile rider to withdraw Sunday after crashing during the eighth stage. He broke his right hand and injured his left shoulder, and could miss the London Olympics.
Here's a look at who's out of the Tour de France after a series of crashes through the first eight stages (includes cyclist, country, team, injury)
Stage 3:
- Kanstantsin Sivtsov, Belarus (Sky), broken left shin
- Jose Joaquin Rojas, Spain (Movistar), broken collarbone
- Maarten Tjallingii, Netherlands (Rabobank), broken left hip
Stage 5:
- Marcel Kittel, Germany (Argos-Shimano), stomach trouble
Stage 6:
- Amets Txurruka, Spain (Euskaltel-Euskadi), broken collarbone
- Ryder Hesjedal, Canada (Garmin-Sharp), injured left leg and hip
- Robert Hunter, South Africa (Garmin-Sharp), injured spine
- Jose Ivan Gutierrez, Spain (Movistar), injured knee
- Imanol Erviti, Spain (Movistar), injured knee
- Hubert Dupont, France (AG2R-La Mondiale), broken bones, sprained ankle
- Maarten Wynants, Belgium (Rabobank), broken ribs, perforated lung
- Oscar Freire, Spain, (Katusha), punctured lung, broken rib
- Tom Danielson, U.S. (Garmin-Sharp), separated left shoulder, sprained neck, chest contusion, deep abrasions.
- Wouter Poels, Netherlands (Vacansoleil), broken ribs, torn kidney and spleen, bruised lungs
- David Vigano, Italy (Lampre), broken collarbone
- Mikel Astarloza, Spain (Euskaltel-Euskadi), injured elbow
- Johannes Froehlinger, Germany (Argos-Shimano), broken finger
Stage 7:
- Anthony Delaplace, France (Saur-Sojasun), broken wrist

Cathedral Prep hires Benedict as lacrosse coach
Former Mercyhurst University lacrosse player Donald Benedict has been hired as the Cathedral Prep coach.
Benedict replaces Jeff Lord, who resigned in June. Lord started the Ramblers' program in 2006 and led the team to a District 10 championship in 2012.
Benedict was a member of the 2011 NCAA Division II national championship team at Mercyhurst, where he played for Chris Ryan. Benedict played in high school at Penn Yan Academy in central New York. He has coached with Ryan during the summer.
"I am very excited for this opportunity to coach a sport that I am very passionate about," Benedict said. "I come from a strong and energetic lacrosse background and I hope to spread this same enthusiasm not only at Cathedral Prep but to the entire Erie community and I am very grateful for this new opportunity that I now have."
Prep went 8-11 this past season and lost to McDowell 12-6 in the D-10 title game.

How to Fail at Pinterest in 7 Quick Steps
In this social media age, it's easy to discover the latest and greatest site, create a profile for it, and then get bored with it in 2 weeks and forget to do anything with it. It's okay; everyone has a site like this in their lives.
If you're having trouble connecting on Pinterest and struggling to get motivated enough to keep up with it, then maybe it's time to change your approach. I'm not an expert, but I do enjoy pinning things and seeing what my followers have to share on this site.
If you want to fail at Pinterest, then by all means follow these tips to the letter and you won't have to worry about needing to visit this site ever again!
Fear for your life and freak out while using Pinterest: Just typing that sounds ridiculous, as I'm sure reading it does too. What's so scary about using this site? It may seem overwhelming, but spend an hour playing around with it and you'll get the hang of it. Start with something that interests you, like cars, wine, recipes, clothing, or watches — it doesn't matter what, but remember to start small and go from there.
Give up as soon as possible: How long did it take you to get used to using Facebook or your email? Probably a few visits, right? The same theory applies to Pinterest. It's going to take a little getting used to before you're a pro and can pin the day away without having to ask Google for help. Just start small with the minimum requirement for boards and add boards as you go along instead of having twenty boards to fill on day one.
Ignore the benefit of having a place to recycle your content: Once something is published online, that doesn't mean you can never promote it ever again. Create a board for all your blogs, infographics, crafts you make, or whatever you do and pin your items to it so that your followers on Pinterest can see what you do on the other avenues of the internet.
Be fearful of following other people: I won't sugar coat it: some users are odd on Pinterest. However, that's true for every social networking site out there, so don't let them scare you off. Just because someone follows you that doesn't mean you have to immediately follow all their boards about hunting, spiders, or Civil War era surgery equipment. You can choose which specific boards you want to follow or follow them all if they have a lot of similar interests to you. Pinterest has a lot of flexibility for its users, so don't be fearful.
Post pictures with generic descriptions like "Neat" or "Fun": You have 500 characters at your disposal for crafting the perfect description of that yummy-sounding cookie recipe or infographic, so use them all. The more keyword-rich your description is, the easier it is for others to find your pin and maybe follow you back.
Be self-obsessed and only pin your things: Pinning a bunch of original stuff you wrote or found on the internet is great, but don't forget to share what your followers are pinning too. Pinterest is great for creating a community vibe, so embrace that mentality too. Think that blog post from your favorite author was really interesting? In addition to commenting on it and sharing it on Facebook or Twitter, pin it to a board (with that rich keyword description, of course) and help them expand their readership base.
Ignore the opportunity to have fun and let others see your true self: If you like owls, then create a board specifically about neat owls. It doesn't matter if it doesn't fit into your profession, because you're trying to convey to people that you're human. Humans like owls, well… you do at least. Good for you! Share your love of owls with the world along with your pins about interesting packaging or advertisements. You'll increase the number of followers than just having two boards devoted entirely to boring business stuff.
I'm not going to promise that Pinterest is going to be here forever, there's a possibility it's just a fad and in three years people will have moved onto the next, best thing. However, it's certainly here now so don't be fearful about jumping in with both feet and creating a profile and some boards to share your company's stuff and a few boards to showcase your love of owls and recipes. Give it a try!
Do you have a Pinterest account? What pet peeves do you have about the site or your followers? Sound off below!

I think this article does a reverse psychology on how to handle Pinterest account successfully. I love reading the tips! Instead of discouraging myself on using the social media platform I feel motivated to pin more pictures!

text: The Willcox hotel and restaurant has once again been recognized for being kind to the environment.On Monday, The Willcox owners Geoff and Shannon Ellis, along with staff members, traveled to Columbia to accept the Good Earth Keeping Award from the South Carolina Hospitality Association.This was the inaugural year in which the award has been presented, and the Ellises said they are quite humbled that they were recognized."To even offer the award is a pretty big step, and we're honored to be the first to get it," said Geoff.This is the second significant recognition that The Willcox has received for its efforts in having a green facility. In 2011, it received the highest level of designation in environmental sustainability offered by the South Carolina Green Hospitality Alliance. The hotel and restaurant each earned "Three Palmetto" distinction, making it the fourth hotel and first restaurant to earn this honor in South Carolina as well as the first establishment in the state to reach six palmettos.To receive that designation, the Ellises and The Willcox staff had to follow an intense series of guidelines such as improving air quality, becoming more water and energy efficient, obtaining greener ways of cleaning, purchasing more environmentally preferred products, reducing waste, increasing recycling, holding green meetings and catering and offering sustainable foods.After the designation was obtained, The Willcox continued to get greener with a recycling program, the installation of a Verve Living System in each room - which is an energy management system - and the use of new Earth Choice take-away containers. The salon uses sustainable Paul Mitchell products like Awapuhi shampoo, and business materials are made of post consumer recycled fiber paper.All of the TVs and signs are light-emitting diode (LED), which are more energy efficient, and the property management is web-based now so large servers are no longer needed. The old computers and televisions were all donated to charity.To be the greenest hotel in the state, according to a release from the association, has taken a bit of time and hard work."It's not something that happens overnight," Geoff said. "It takes time, it takes energy and it takes money. It's a process of continual improvement."The Willcox will continue to find ways to be sustainable. The next step for the facility is to have a review conducted on its office product purchases to see how it can be even more green.To the Ellises, the recognition is wonderful but certainly not the reason they have worked so hard to have a green facility. One reason is to keep the hotel and restaurant flourishing with this green initiative."This hotel is 114 years old, and we're such a minor part of its history, but we want it to be around for another 114 years," Geoff said.Another reason is to support a healthy environment in the community and to set an example for their 7-year-old daughter, Victoria Grace."It's just another piece of the puzzle to make sure this business is sustainable for years to come," Shannon said. "We need to support our community, and we need to support the environment in which our community thrives."The Ellises added that their success in having a green facility has been a team effort, and they thank their staff for their diligent and committed work.Amy Banton is the city beat reporter and has been with the Aiken Standard since May 2010. She is a native of Rustburg, Va., and a graduate of Randolph Macon Woman's College.

Telefonica (NYSE: TEF ) Spain just installed a new high-speed optical network that beats the old installment by a factor of 2.6. It was done over existing fiber pairs, adding new Alcatel Lucent (UNKNOWN: ALU.DL ) hardware on both sides of the fiber connection.
It's an easy upgrade path for Telefonica, and another great proof of concept for Alcatel. This particular installation is 30% faster than similar projects unveiled earlier this year, and Alcatel's rivals have yet to respond with network speeds of this caliber.
Alcatel Lucent has struggled in recent years and could use some good PR right about now. In this video, Fool contributor Anders Bylund dives into the details of Telefonica's ultra-fast optical link.

This was used a a backdrop for our CHRISTmas cantata and it was absolutely gorgeous!!
Best Uses
This backdrop was perfect for our event and the personalization enhanced the pictures. It arrived in a thick tube and this makes storage easy afterwards. The only thing I wish is that we could have ordered a bit wider backdrop. We ran a sheet of white paper along the bottom of the wall to raise the height so that some people were not taller than the background. Otherwise, it looked beautiful and we received many compliments. The grommets made hanging easy. :)

This mural is very vivid and beautiful to look at. It was used at our Church stage Christmas presentation background.

It was fun putting on my own message and placing them where I thought they would be the most attractive.

By GreatSchools Staff
The chilly, dark winter mornings make it extra challenging to wake up a few minutes early to whip together a nourishing, hearty breakfast for the kiddos. But a sugary bowl of cereal isn't the kind of high-octane fuel they require to make it through a demanding school day. The good news? A protein-and-vitamin-packed breakie can be pulled off with little effort. Opt for simple, nutrition-loaded fare like eggs (keep a couple hard-boiled eggs in the 'fridge for days you're running late), milk, cottage cheese, whole grains, fruit, and yogurt. Want more ideas? Check out these quick-and-easy breakfast favorites.
In case you sustain any lingering doubts, the science is in: hand washing helps ward off illness. Danish research found that kids taught proper hand washing techniques and required to wash three times a day missed 26 percent fewer school days and had 22 percent fewer illnesses than kids who weren't trained or required to wash. Find out whether anti-bacterial products are better than soaps and other secrets to a bill of clean winter health.
Exercise is just what the doctor ordered when it comes to shaking off stress, which for children can compromise a healthy, growing brain. So take advantage of the nippy weather by going skating, or taking a brisk, pre-dinner walk. Not only will your childrens' endorphins be doing the happy dance, their I.Q.'s will be ramped up a few notches.
It's time to do a little math homework to keep your kids in good health this season: Here are foods and drinks you should add and ones you should subtract this winter, including one all-time kid favorite that's actually lowering their immune systems, and making them more susceptible to illness during flu and cold season.
Time for some lunchbox truth-telling: last semester, were there more days than not when your child returned home with half his food untouched? If so, time to re-do lunch. After all, if your young learner isn't eating his PB&Js, he's going to be hard-pressed to learn his ABCs. Start your lunchbox revolution with these 7 secrets for school lunch success and find your inspiration with these yummy and (shhh!) oh-so-good-for-'em sandwich alternatives.
Your parental instincts may be telling you that to keep kids healthy, you should keep them safely out of the cold. But that can mean long hours staring, inert, at a screen, which has multiple negative health implications for your child, including Nature Deficit Disorder. As long as you keep them well-bundled (well, not this well-bundled), don't hesitate to take a foray into the great outdoors — or even a quick jaunt to your local park. According to the National Wildlife Federation, spending time in nature offers a wealth of health benefits for kids, including helping to prevent sleep deprivation, as children need to be outside in natural daylight to regulate their internal "sleep clocks."
If you haven't gotten around to instituting a regular sit-down family dinner, winter is the perfect time to start a tradition of familial, cozy meals. Not convinced? Here is a great explanation of why the family meal will up your child's happiness and healthiness quota, not to mention her GPA. Along with serving a nutritious meal, learn how you can serve up brain-enhancing conversation and make the entire dinnertime experience — from set-up to clean-up — easier for you and the kids.
If your New Year's resolution to make sure the kids get a good night sleep have fallen by the wayside, time to do a sleep check at your house. There's plenty of reason to ensure your children are getting the rest they need. Researchers have found a link between sleep and cognitive abilities. One researcher found that sixth graders who lost just an hour of sleep performed at a fourth-grade level. Other studies show a link between getting enough sleep and higher grades.

- Albania
- Bosnia and Herzegovina
- Bulgaria
- Croatia
- Kosovo
- Macedonia
- Montenegro
- Romania
- Serbia
- All Balkan Countries
New survey shows that most Albanians in the Balkans dream of being united into one state, though few expect this to happen any time soon.
The poll, conducted by Gallup in cooperation with the European Fund for the Balkans, showed that 62 per cent of respondents in Albania, 81 per cent in Kosovo and 51.9 per cent of respondents in Macedonia supported the formation of a Greater Albania.
The vast majority of respondents, over 95 per cent overall in the three countries, said that if such a Greater Albania was created, it should include Albania, Kosovo and part of Macedonia.
Support is much lower for the union only of Albania and Kosovo. Only 33.7 per cent of respondents in Albania approved of this solution, as did 29.2 per cent in Kosovo and a mere 7.2 per cent in Macedonia.
Most respondents said they doubted that the unification of all ethnic Albanians in the region would happen any time soon.
A century of shifting borders has left ethnic Albanians scattered across Kosovo, Serbia, Montenegro, Macedonia and Greece.
Although the idea of uniting Albanians into a single state continues to be popular, Albanian political leaders in the region are wary of raising the issue of border changes.
They tend to maintain that as the region integrates in the European Union, Albanians will be united in a European space without borders or national barriers.
The new leader of the Democratic Party now has a chance to show that the party that transformed Serbia years ago can become a relevant force in politics once again.
A proposal to run a joint candidate for Belgrade mayor in the next city elections could be the best chance for the embattled opposition to challenge the dominance of the ruling party, experts believe.
A joint list of non-party candidates endorsed by all anti-regime forces in Macedonia is the best way to defeat Nikola Gruevski, a prominent voice in the new leftist Levica party says.

I'm a bloody rock star!
But no, I've never been serious enough about music to actually learn how to play and instrument and singing loud enough to be taken seriously as a R&R singer has always felt to me to be, I don't know, impolite?
So, even though I've always wanted to be a rock star, I never bothered to become one, until now.
And check it out: I did not have to pick up a guitar or open my mouth to do it. All I had to do was butcher.
See, according to Kim Severson writing for the New York Times, butchers are competing with chefs to be the rock stars of the culinary world. (So as a chef and a butcher I must be competing with myself? Odd.) She cites people who say butchers are hot, and that they like the fact that we wield big knives and are often covered in blood.
So now I'm a rock star and I've got Kim Severson and the NY Times to thank for it. Of course I have to thank my audience too, because without my fans, I could have never become the bloody awesome super star that I always knew I was but was too lazy and untalented to achieve on my own!
Never mind the bollocks, here's the butcher

Loved the music and the butcher photos....but what was with the truck and all the logs???
On the other hand, maybe I ought to quit the pastry chef biz and start again at our local USDA butcher....the thought has crossed my mind more than once....after all, sausage is my junk food....

I added the truck photos for atmosphere. It was outside the kitchen window at the farm dropping off wood on the day that the butcher photos were shot. (The farm buildings and water are heated by a wood furnace.)

Children's Developmental Vulnerability & the Roberts Court's Child-Protective Jurisprudence: An Emerging Trend?
Deana Pollard-Sacks
Texas Southern University - Thurgood Marshall School of Law
December 31, 2010
Stetson Law Review, Forthcoming
The Roberts Court has issued three opinion to date to protect children from harmful media influences or unduly harsh criminal sentences based on their developmental instability and vulnerability. The social science data concerning children's developmental immaturity presents a compelling case for distinguishing between children and adults relative to First Amendment and Eighth Amendment issues, inter alia. Of particular interest is new MRI and fMRI studies that demonstrate that children - unlike adults - are at risk for altered brain activity arising from speech such as violent video games that can affect their beliefs and conduct long-term, and that cognitive damage can result without children's (or their parents') conscious awareness or informed consent. Is the Roberts Court embracing the social science data to usher in a new era of children's constitutional law? This essay briefly reviews the scientific data and the Court's opinions to date and suggests that the opinions may be tied together by the Court's commitment to protecting children based on the strength of the scientific evidence that they are indeed quite different than adults, warranting a different set of legal norms applicable to children.

"Race, Labor, and the City: Crises Old and New."
As Chicago developed into a metropolis, it became a city "proud to be Hog Butcher, Tool Maker, Stacker of Wheat, Player with Railroads and Freight Handler to the Nation." Control over these and other jobs over the past two centuries also provoked the formation of organized labor, civil rights, and other working-class movements. Meeting in Chicago, Carl Sandburg's "City of Big Shoulders," this joint conference aims to bring together academics, activists, and other enthusiasts of labor history and culture.
Thursday, May 28 - Sunday, May 31, 2009
Roosevelt University, 430 S. Michigan Avenue, Chicago
All topics related to working-class life and history are welcome but we especially encourage proposals concerning the urban interconnections between work, migration, and culture. This includes studies of historical and contemporary working-class movements for economic and racial justice, analysis of struggles over gendered urban spaces, Latino immigration and transnational labor, and developments in working-class city life and leisure. While this conference is in Chicago, we welcome proposals that address urban working-class life around the globe.
Proposals for panels should include a one-page summary, with a list of presenters and their topics, and brief bios and/or vitas. We encourage informal presentations, and discourage the reading of papers.
Submissions for a single paper or a panel are due no later than December 1, 2008 and applicants will be contacted by January 15, 2009.
Others sponsors for the conference include The Chicago Center for Working-Class Studies, UNITE-HERE, Chicago Jobs With Justice, and the Association for the Study of African American Life and History-Chicago Branch.
Convenient and low-cost housing will be available by reservation only at the University Center.
For more information and submission of proposals see the conference website:

With world economies in a downtrend of the present, many families are finding that they need to cut spending in certain areas. While food is a necessity and should not be lessened, many people are realizing that they can lower the price of what they pay for their food. For instance, some families are turning to fast food night instead of take out from pricey restaurants. Not only are people realizing that fast food restaurants can be advantageous for lowering the price of food, but they can also find discount coupons for these places as well. Many fast food restaurants offer discount coupons through mailers and sales papers, and Captain D's offers some of the best discounts available. Captain D's has been offering its loyal customers coupons for decades and continue to do so during the present. However, now the company is also allowing their potential customers to print off or apply for coupons through the internet as well.
A Brief History of Captain D's
Captain D's is a restaurant food chain that has stores in numerous states of the US as well as many franchises in other countries as well. This particular fast food outfit was started in the late 1960's Ray Danner, for whom the "D" stands for. Danner and another partner opened the first restaurant in the small town of Donelson Tennessee in 1969. Originally, the store was not called Captain D's, but it was named Mr. D's, under which it would operate for a number of years. The company would eventually move into twenty three states and have a population of over 600 stores in the United States alone. Most of those restaurants are in the Southern and Midwestern United States although the chain is becoming known by Westerners as well.
Hard Times and Changes
Upon initially enjoying success for a number of decades, Captain D's popularity began to decline in the 1990's and would eventually go bankrupt in 2000. After bankruptcy, it was bought by the capital group Lone Star Funds, based out of Dallas Texas. The group would over haul the existing structure of the company and make numerous changes to its infrastructure. A few years after the revamping of the restaurant chain, Captain D's was then sold to the Sagittarius Brands group, who also own Del Taco. The sale was for a sum of $150 million dollars. The Sagittarius Brands group would go on to make more changes, one being the menu. In 2007, Captain D's would gain the acclaim of the Nation's Restaurant News when it won the Menu Master's Award under the Best Menu Revamp category.
Captain D's Menu
The menu of the restaurant food chain known as Captain D's revolves mainly around breaded fish. This menu consists of numerous styles of fish, such as flaked white fish that is deep fried in batter breading, tavern-style breading, cornmeal breading, and numerous promotional recipe breadings. They also specialize in shrimp where they fry up popcorn shrimp, coconut shrimp, and other styles of the shell fish. Some of the more contemporary cuts of fish include tilapia and Alaskan Salmon that are both breaded and served with the customer's choice of French fries, hushpuppies, baked potato, or roasted red potatoes. A more traditional dish that has been a customer favorite for many years is the Catfish Feast, which features a large catfish fillet, served with hush puppies as well as two additional sides. Other menu favorites may include:
• Three Piece Fish Dinner
• Four Piece Fish Dinner
• Country Style Fish Dinner
• Deluxe Seafood Platter
• Classic Fish and Shrimp Dinner
• Two Piece Fish and Shrimp Dinner
• Two Piece Fish and Blue Bay Crab Cake Dinner
These are just a few of the customer favorites, which are all served with hush puppies and buyer's choice of sides. Not only does Captain D's offer an extensive line of seafood options, but they also offer chicken as well.
Nutrition and Low Carb Options
During the early 2000's, many people became more aware of their eating habits when the FDA began requiring more transparent nutritional labels. Because of this, many fast food restaurants became inspired to offer low carbohydrate meal options for those who are dieting or watching their carbohydrate intake. From this, Captain D's created their own low carbohydrate menu as well. Their website offers visitors the chance to view and compare their nutritional information to other fast food chains with an easy to read nutritional information chart.
Gift Cards
For those who are lifelong loyal Captain D's fans, the restaurant and the website offer the opportunity to purchase gift cards redeemable at Captain D's restaurants world wide. By purchasing these coupons, one will find that they can enjoy one of their favorites at Captain D's even if their pockets are light.
Promotional Campaigns
To promote their brand, Captain D's has embarked in many promotional and marketing campaigns throughout their inception. Of the present, the fast food chain offers Kids Day, which allows children under the age of 12 to eat free with an accompanying adult. When an entrée is purchased at regular price, up to two children can eat free. Also, the restaurant offers a Senior Day as well where seniors over the age of 65 are offered a discounted meal. Both adults and kids alike can enjoy the Captain D's Club, where they will get special offers on certain days through email as well as postal mail.
Coupons and Discounts
Along with their everyday specials and promotions, Captain D's also offers many ways to save with the many discount coupons that are available to the consumer. These coupons are normally mailed out every week in local newspapers as well as mailers. These coupons may consist of a free drink or desert, or additional savings at the counter. The coupons may be redeemable in conjunction with other offerings, but that will always depend on the location. There are many places where loyal customers of Captain D's can print off coupons for their next visit. Some of the places that customers may find
Captain D's coupons are as follows:
• Couponmakeover.com
• Couponhoundhunt.com
• Malindazellman.blogspot.com
• The-fru-gal.blogspot.com
These are just a few of the many places one might find coupons for this popular and growing fast food chain.

Thursday, October 31, 2013
All was quiet aside from the gentle slap of a paddle on the water as about 10 passengers boarded a canoe and embarked across the dark swamp at Cypress Gardens.
The first sight was a cemetery of white crosses on the left shore followed by a skeleton pirate steering a stationary boat to the right.
Screams were heard ahead from other canoes as this canoe's paddle-man bumped the vessel into cypress tree roots that sometimes seemed to open doors on creaking rafts until BOO! - a ghoul jumped out of nowhere on a nearby raft and screams.
The canoe passes a face-down, headless figure in a plaid shirt and khakis. The canoe passes another. And another.
Suddenly a splash out of the water from the back left - it's the head and shoulders of a creature with yellowish-white skin and protruding red veins that thrashes and screams at passengers, who on this vessel remain mostly unruffled.
This was the scene Oct. 19 at the 16th annual "Halloween in the Swamp."
The haunted swamp experience is not recommended for children 12 and under unless they are accompanied by an adult. Children age six and under are not allowed.
For younger children there is a pumpkin trail, a talking great pumpkin, a jump castle, marshmallow roast and scary stories told by Kim Dillinger.
But those who made it through the haunted swamp experience witnessed phantoms spring out of the water to terrorize the otherwise serene night. The journey is not over when passengers reach the presumed safety of the dock.
A human-like creature, a werewolf perhaps, has a bloody face as they follow these brave souls into the haunted house where strobe lights take over and more creatures of the Halloween season jump out from behind or follow so closely their breath can almost be felt on the back of your neck.
Outside the house a bride in a dirt-desecrated wedding gown leaps from the shadows. The adventure scurries on toward a vintage hearse carrying a skeleton.
The coffin is behind the hearse's open back hatch. A a living figure creeps out of the eerie red light in the coffin as more haunted creatures frighten the adventurers.
The trail's live actors, who are volunteers, wore haunting makeup and outfits as they scared the daylights out of the so-called "victims" whom they snuck up on from behind and out of the shadows.
The creatures in the water were played by divers who were under the water in a dark, swampy lagoon.
Cypress Gardens Site Manager Heather Graham said about 80 volunteers helped on each of the three nights along with employees.
She said countless props were used. Some volunteers brought their own and some were built at Cypress Gardens.
This year's temperatures allowed for six to seven divers, about twice the normal amount, to sneak out from dark waters and scare boat riders.
One of those divers was Cypress Gardens Director Dwight Williams.
"This year it was a bit warmer," Williams said. "That meant I could stay out there all night. Usually when it's cooler we split the shifts in two.
"We probably would've had half as many in the water if it had been cold. We had more divers than usual this year. That was fun.
"We're not really scuba diving with air tanks, but we're wearing black wetsuits which gives us a good way to hide. You try to station yourself in a position so the water is not too deep so you can push off the bottom."
Williams said divers hide their faces behind trees or stumps and jumped out at the middle of the boat to scare the passengers.
He said the divers do not worry much about alligators and snakes.
"We have our captive alligators and we can see what's happening with their appetites," Williams said. "They had laid off food for the past two weeks.
"This event makes so much noise in the front part of the swamp that the wild alligators retreat. They're not looking for a lot of attention. I've been in the water out there for 12 years and I haven't had a problem yet.
"It takes a lot of work to get ready. It's kind of homegrown compared to a lot of other Halloween events. It takes about as long to put the gardens back as it does to decorate it."
Five days after the final event workers were close to having the gardens back to normal, Williams said.
"The turnout was good. Thursday was a little lighter than last year when school was out on Friday. We are thinking of just doing Friday and Saturday next year.
"We limit it to about 500 (guests per) night."
Williams said the public is only allowed to visit Cypress Gardens at night for special events.

Kirk Penney is the sole playing survivor from the Tall Blacks historic 4th place finish at the 2002 FIBA World Cup, a run that captured the imagination of the basketball world and the entire country here in New Zealand. He could therefore be forgiven as the elder statesman in the current World Cup roster if he was to be in reflective mood, but there is plenty of gas left in the tank of this premier shooting guard.
Penney has arrived in Spain with his team mates after a seven week build up that has the team primed for their opener against Turkey on Sunday morning NZT.
"This might be the best tour I have ever been on. Early on we had maybe lesser talented opponents but had to fight to win, then we went up a level to Europe and tested ourselves against better opposition and here we are now at the big show where we have to take a step up in every moment. We have been in Spain now for 5 or 6 days which is crucial, it is great. We are in the time zone, feeling good. I am hoping that our preparation bodes well for us. I have loved the tour, whoever organized with Nenad and Claire (Dallison – team manager) has done a great job for us."
Penney says there is a quiet confidence in the group for the difficult task that lies ahead of them.
"It hasn't quite started so it is a bit of that calm before the storm when you are excited to play. We have had two days of practice in Bilbao but we are excited to be here, we have worked so hard over the past seven weeks and hopefully we can come out and play the way we want to play.
"I have played in Spain a couple of years, they have a new exhibition center for games here in what is a basketball city, it is a massive facility, hopefully the fans enjoy and I know we will enjoy being on the big stage."
Penney says the confidence from their most recent game can be taken into the tournament, but ultimately will count for little once the buzzer goes for game one.
"The Serbia win was great for us to get over the line against a world class team, they are stacked with high level players across the world, we played well against other teams including the first game against Serbia, but we have been playing well and not finishing games, that was a huge confidence boost to get over the line."
Fit and ready to go, Penney says he sees some good omens from that 2002 campaign.
"I am all good, Nenad has done a great job to get us fit and in shape to play basketball on the international level, I hope we are more polished now than when we started, the prep is great to get into a rhythm and play well, but this is when the lights come on and defence gets tougher and you have to fight for all you can get.
"12 years ago in 2002 we beat Serbia in preparation as well, maybe that is a good omen – they won gold in that tournament. There are similarities to then for sure, the depth of the team being one – we can play ten-twelve deep. I'm just looking forward to the tournament and hoping we embrace it and play the way we can play. That was our best year, I hope we can aspire to achieve something similar again this time around."
Penney is energized by the new generation of players coming through, some of whom he hasn't played with before this tour.
"I am loving it, it is great to see the new guys coming through, some I haven't played much with if at all. There is a good balance in the team, it is just cool to come on tour and spend time in the conversations we have on buses, planes and in rooms, with a great crew of Kiwis and speaking English which I don't get to do much in this context."
Penney says one player in particular has caught his eye on tour.
"The second I saw Corey (Webster) seven weeks ago I knew something had changed, his whole demeanor, his physical shape, he is a much better player, moving better and you can tell he has put in a lot of work. He is awesome to have on the crew, scoring, creating opportunities for others. I am very happy to see where he is at and what he has achieved. Also his brother Tai is very talented and I am looking forward to seeing what he is going to do in this tournament, there are moments where he is incredible and I hope he embraces the opportunity.
"There are more than two though, there are a lot of guys, it is fun to watch. I am going to be playing but part of me is watching to see who comes to the party. A lot of talented guys will put up their hands and want to be counted. I like where we are at – it is a massive challenge with Turkey and we will go from there."
Penney knows his first up opponents well, having spent the past few seasons playing in Turkey.
"I have never called our pool the pool of death, every game is difficult and will be a challenge. We have watched these teams on film, I have never played Dominican Republic and haven't played Ukraine and Finland for a few years. Hard to say until we get on court but outside the USA we have to back ourselves against every team – even the USA we have to get on the floor and enjoy the process. We played them in 2002 and in Florida in a friendly and maybe once more. They are so athletic, I know the guys will enjoy the opportunity, I am excited to just go at them and see what happens but that is not until the third game.
"I know Turkey very well, all but one play in the Turkish league. I am looking forward to going against them and seeing how we match up."

WEST SPRINGFIELD – What had been billed as a gathering Monday for Town Council Vice President Brian J. Griffin to announce his intention to run for mayor in the November election became instead the launching pad for the mayoral candidacy of former Town Council President Edward C.Sullivan.
The event at Sorrento's Pizza and Grinder attended by about 150 people officially got under way with Sullivan introducing Griffin and saying that Griffin is passionate about West Springfield. Sullivan described how the two men became acquainted after Sullivan was appointed to the Town Council Casino Mitigation Committee chaired by Griffin. Sullivan now chairs the Mayor's Casino Advisory Committee, which holds joint meetings with the council committee.
Griffin spoke briefly about there being a need to change in the city and then announced, "It is Ed Sullivan's time for this to happen."
"We are moving forward. We have the candidate we need," Griffin said. "This is the right decision. A unified West Springfield is what we are trying to accomplish here....where it's okay to disagree without being disagreeable."
Reached later for comment, Mayor Gregory C. Neffinger, who is in the second year of his first two-year term, has said he will be seeking reelection.
Griffin pledged that he and Sullivan, 54, will work together. Sullivan was the first president of the Town Council, which was activated in 2000 when the community went from being a town to a city.
"I appreciate any support moving forward. We'll certainly make this work," Sullivan said. "I think it is the best opportunity to have West Springfield move forward."
Sullivan called the two men's relationship "a unified partnership," saying, "We changed out minds together about 48 hours ago."
Sullivan is executive vice president of his family's business, Sullivan Paper Co. Inc.
The candidate said he believes in community service and thinks he can move the community forward.
"I believe there are things that could be done better. You can catch more flies with honey ... if you work together you are much more productive," Sullivan said.
"There couldn't be a better candidate. I'm elated," Town Councilor George R. Kelly said of Sullivan's candidacy. "It was very unselfish of Brian to step aside."

Splorp spl = new Splorp(); spl.foob(); Splat fzt = new Fzt(); fzt.faz(); Zot zt = new Zot(); zt.zap();...and so on, for hundreds of lines. Even that's okay. One gains consistency and simplicity by using the same functor objects immediately in one circumstance that you might defer in another. Freedom to defer execution does not mean we must defer execution. But as you present the pattern above, it seems syntactically inconvenient. If it were instead:
Splorp.new().foob(); Fzt.new().faz(); Zot.new().zap();It would look a whole lot prettier, wouldn't it? Even better if we were weaving some parameters through the operations rather than relying on ambient state.
Splorp.new(env).foob(); Fzt.new(env,42).faz(); Zot.new(env).zap("Hello");If done with intent, the pattern represents something of value. It rarely comes from deliberate intent. It's more likely to be borne of ignorance, from a procedural programmer new to OO faced with a language like Java or C# that requires all procedure definitions to be associated with class definitions. If challenged, the usual explanation is either "it's the only way I could get it to work" or "I thought that was how OO is supposed to be done." Take a look at MarcGrundfest's comment below. It appears he's also seen this.

Original music by world-class composer Rob Deemer, Chair of Composition at SUNY Fredonia, and others melded in stunning harmony with movement by thoughtful, innovative choreographers seeking not to talk to or at the audience and community, but with, a true discussion of what is, what has been, what could be.

A group of well-mannered kindergarten students navigate a brightly decorated hallway of the Chester Community Charter School as principal Christine Matijasich looks on.
"Don't forget: Fingers on lips, hands on hips," Matijasich says as the children file by quietly.
The charter school, it seems, is an island of order in a sea of troubles, surrounded by the struggling Chester Upland School District, which remains on life support through June.
Backers hold it up as the epitome of charter success, a school that outperforms the district where most of its student live.
"They have turned a lot of children around," said Janae Avery, the mother of a seventh grader and a kindergartner. "I've seen it numerous times."

A Canyon Country man who last month refused to leave his jail cell to answer a charge of attempted murder appeared in San Fernando Superior Court Tuesday, a court official said.
Raymundo Soto, 35, was ordered to appear back in court next month.
Soto is accused of attempted murder and assault with a deadly weapon for allegedly stabbing another man in a Canyon Country home last Feb. 29.
Previous to his appearance Tuesday, Soto had been confined to a wheelchair and ordered to appear in a special wheelchair-accessible courtroom in downtown Los Angeles.
In June, he appeared in that courtroom and entered a plea of not guilty to all charges against him. Last month, after he was deemed to be fit enough to come to court without the wheelchair, he refused to leave his cell for a court appearance.
In addition to the two felony charges, Soto is also charged with two misdemeanors: one for concealing a firearm and one for carrying a loaded firearm in a public place.
Soto was arrested by Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station detectives April 4 and charged with attempted murder in connection with the stabbing.
His bail remains set at $1.08 million.

Related quotes
"If some musicians put more energy into their own craft, they'd be less likely to attack the artist they have a problem with 'not being'"
"Art knows no boundaries.... Expressive art; Timeless piece; Artistic representation of feelings without imitations built from creative interpretations; however you want to call it... For us, this is.... Art. "ART ACROSS BOUNDARIES""
"What do you think an artist is? An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a painter, or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is merely a boxer, only his muscle? On the contrary, he is at the same time a political being, constantly alert to the heartrending, burning, or happy events in the world, molding himself in their likeness."

As her top priority, Olive seeks to give Bobby the things she never had: she enrolls him in school, makes him do his homework and tries her hardest to be a good mother, and with the help of an old friend from Oklahoma, Walt (Rory Cochrane), Olive "provides" for Bobby in the only way she knows how. But despite of her efforts (or perhaps because of them) Bobby displays troubling behavior both at his school and in their conservative neighborhood. Things take a turn for the worse after Bobby's unfortunate "run-in" with the local and wealthy businessman Kent (Bill read morePullman), and Olive's criminal past finally catches up with her, forcing her to make the toughest judgment of all.

A CAQ MNA says he was told by the Parti Quebecois to stop talking about controversial dealings between the premier's husband's company and the FTQ solidarity fund.
But, it's a story the Parti Quebecois denies.
The CAQ's Christian Dubé is trying to pass a bill that would change how the FTQ solidarity fund is managed.
He says the finance minister's staff told his party his bill would not move forward as long as the CAQ kept talking about Claude Blanchet's company and money he may have made thanks to the FTQ solidarity fund.
Dubé says he's since brought the matter to the minister himself. "I told him that blackmail was not acceptable."
The Finance minister's press secretary says no one on staff ever told Dubé to stop talking about the Marois-Blanchet affair. "We only said that we didn't appreciate it."
Mélanie Malenfant says the PQ never had the intention of calling Dubé's bill into law because the government plans to introduce its own bill.

The first of Chandler's Phillip Marlowe novels, The Big Sleep was included such end of century lists as Le Monde's 100 Books of the Century and Time's list of 100 Best Novels. (A sad realization: I won't be around for the best of 21st century lists.) Chandler is credited with being a founder of the hard-boiled detective story, along with Dashiel Hammet, James M Cain and others. In 1932, he published his first detective short story; in 1939 The Big Sleep was published, his first of seven full length novels. In 1946, it was made into a movie starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall that is famous for its non-sensical plot.
I did not like The Big Sleep (★★), no big surprise when you know it took me two weeks to read it, a 230 page novel. The characters were shallow and the mystery was overly complex and impossible to solve without Marlowe's soliloquy at the end. Sometimes, the dialogue made no sense and when Marlowe shows interest in a woman (one of four possible femme fatale) it is over as soon as it happens, though he makes a puzzling reference to her in the last line of the novel, implying there was a connection between the two that did not make it on the page. Chandler's strength was description and mood, though how much of the mood did he set and how much of it did I project on what I read from the 30s and 40s classic detective movies I have seen? It's hard to say.
While trying to find a synopsis of the novel, I came across this bit of information. It explains a lot.
From Wikipedia:
The Big Sleep, like most of Chandler's novels, was written by what he called cannibalizing previously written short stories.[2] Chandler would take stories he had already published in the pulp magazine Black Mask and rework them so that they fit together in one coherent story. In the case of The Big Sleep, the two main stories that formed the core of the novel were "Killer in the Rain" (published in 1935) and "The Curtain" (published in 1936). Although the stories were completely independent and shared no common characters, they had some similarities that made it logical to combine them. In both stories there is a powerful father who is distressed by his wild daughter. Chandler merged the two fathers into a new character and did the same for the two daughters, resulting in General Sternwood and his wild daughter Carmen. Chandler also borrowed small parts of two other stories: "Finger Man" and "Mandarin's Jade".[3]
As might be expected, all this cannibalizing—especially in a time when cutting and pasting was done by literally cutting and pasting paper—sometimes resulted in a plot that had a few loose ends; in the case of "The Big Sleep", there is the famous question of who killed the chauffeur. When Howard Hawks made his film of the novel, the writing team were perplexed as to the answer. Hawks contacted Chandler to inquire and Chandler replied he had no idea.[4] This exemplifies a difference between Chander's style of crime fiction and previous authors. For Chandler the plot was almost secondary; what really mattered was the atmosphere and the characters. An ending that answered all the questions and neatly wrapped every plot thread up was less important to Chandler than having interesting characters who behave in believable ways. When Chandler merged his stories into a novel, he spent more effort on expanding descriptions of people, places, and Marlowe's thought processes than getting every detail of the plot perfectly consistent.
Despite not being impressed with The Big Sleep, I will most likely read The Long Goodbye and Farewell, My Lovely, if only to mark two more novels from my 1001 Books List.

McCarthy, who spoke to PEOPLE last year about her struggles with her son's autism, discussed Tolle's book, A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose, which Oprah picked as her latest Book Club selection. (Winfrey liked it so much she launched a 10-week Web "class" around it.)
"I read this book when it first came out and this was one of my big wake-up calls," says McCarthy, who spoke about the need to simply "be" with him – and whether that was enough to be a good mom. (See the rest in the video above.)

After the success of Jay-Z's and Kanye West's Watch The Throne, both Lupe Fiasco and super producer Pharrell Williams wanted to create the same success by working together on a joint album. Originally a group called Child Rebel Soldiers (CRS) that also included Kanye, the pair decided to move forward without West according to Lupe's website (www.lupefiasco.com). Talks of the trio doing an album have been going on since 2007 and fans have been wondering what the delay is. During an interview with Rap-Up TV Lupe spoke about how the album was derailed due to the trio's busy schedule. It seems as though Mr. West wouldn't have the time anyway especially while touring and promoting Watch The Throne. Can a CRS album be a success without Mr. West?

OLAF FUB SEZ: According to President Millard Fillmore, born on this date in 1800, "Nothing brings out the lower traits of human nature like office-seeking. Men of good character and impulses are betrayed by it into all sorts of meanness."
Welcome 2013
I wish I had the solutions,
To my New Year's resolutions,
But the ones that have been made,
Just seem to be ignored and fade out of sight
How many promises does one truly keep,
As most are casually tossed into a growing heap?
We say we'll exercise more and eat far less,
But my friends usually confess
That it's a heavy burden to adhere to their list
As their fatty, sugar-filled foods would soon be missed.
Such good ideas are put on paper
Soon to vanish in a wispy vapor!
We purchase a card for a special event,
Yet rare is the occasion on which they are sent.
We drive with great caution to avoid an accident
Though another driver causes one in a happy haze of poor judgment
We should answer a letter or make a call
But usually end up doing nothing at all.
So hopefully 2013 will be a happy
and healthy year,
For our dear friends and family
Those far away distant and blessedly near.
