Everton boss David Moyes has suggested that he does not feel the club is in a position to move forward following the collapse of their new stadium plans, which is sure to fuel rumours that he could quit.
Moyes, preparing to entertain Liverpool in the Merseyside derby on Sunday, was said to be considering his future on Wednesday once news of the government's decision to block the plans for the ground in Kirby had emerged.
Everton defender Phil Jagielka has undergone a second knee operation and may not play again until after Christmas, adding to the injury woes at the Toffees that has seen them get off to slow starts in the Premier League and Europa League.
Jagielka, 27, has been sidelined since damaging knee ligaments in April but had been hoping to return to action before the end of November. However a problem, described by Everton as 'a small cartilage tear', means Jagielka's comeback will be delayed. Jagielka had an operation on Wednesday, Everton revealed.

BEIJING, China - As millions of Chinese catch Olympic fever, fitness is becoming a bigger part of their lives.
But that's not the only thing getting bigger. China's obesity rates have also increased dramatically.
From the warm smile of the Colonel to McDonalds' golden arches, it's nearly impossible to walk down bustling Beijing streets without bumping into these American icons.
And China¹s waistlines have grown right alongside the new fast food restaurants.
McDonalds and KFC have hundreds of outlets here in China, as do other American fast food companies. The government is so concerned about the rising rates of obesity in this country that it's encouraging its citizens to exercise more.
About 25 percent of Chinese adults are overweight or obese, but experts estimate that number will double in just 20 years.
While the rapidly-expanding fast food industry might be a likely scapegoat for China¹s extra weight, Peking University's Yan Lijing says it only plays a small factor.
"Western fast food chains have only penetrated the urban areas for now, but obesity is an issue even in rural areas," she said.
Lijing added that overall lifestyle changes are a much bigger problem.
"In the long run, I believe obesity will become a bigger problem, even in China because of the westernization of our lifestyle, meaning the reduction in physical activity," she said. "We don't exercise as much and there is much less physical activity in our daily life. Things like we don't ride our bicycle, we don't walk as much and the change in the diet."
These changes have also opened the doors for China's fitness industry.
"China right now is experiencing an awakening demand for fitness because of the organization and growing growth," Ben Xu, managing director Nautilus Chin said.
He says there wasn't much of a market six years ago, but Beijing's Olympic bid has helped change that.
"Olympics is a great force to change people's health and fitness consciousness. The government is spending to promote health lifestyle. I'm very optimistic about the change, but it's going to be a slow change," he said.
Some of this change is starting at schools. traditionally chinese parents emphasize academics. But Cui Xiao Xia, who has taught high school physical education for seven years, says parents believe physical fitness is also important.
"Today's households think having a healthy body is more important for their kids, because health is the base of everything," Xia said. "It's more important than studying, because if you have a healthy body you're (be) able to study [better].
Some students say their parents even encourage them to exercise more.
They encourage me to be healthy, to exercise more. I was not athletic before, but as I've grown up, I enjoy sports more," student Feng Shuofei said.
But for many Chinese students, enjoying sports isn't just about winning. Last year, educator Donnie Pei introduced an Olympics curriculum to more than 500 schools.
"Olympics will bring us more culture, give us a better chance to communicate with and understand other cultures. International communication, respect, and understanding. Four elements we are trying to promote, because China needs it," he said.
Although the games have raised the fitness profile, many hope their ideals will provide a lasting legacy.
"Gold medals don't mean everything. I think being happy and having a healthy body is more important," Xia said. "In our class we teach our students to enjoy sports, enjoy life and do what you're doing happily. That's more important."

Buies Creek, N.C.- A grant in the amount of $2,000 from the Harnett County Arts Council lends wings to Campbell University's production of "Two Donuts," a play in which a young Latino boy's quest for adventure turns into a crusade against an unjust dictator. Added to the play's action is a high-flying aerial performance by the group "Flying by Foy," made possible by the grant. "Two Donuts will be presented by the Campbell University Theatre Arts Department on Friday and Saturday, April 16-17, and Thursday-Saturday, April 22-24, at 7 p.m. in Ellis Theatre of the Taylor Bott Rogers Fine Arts Center. Tickets are $7 for adults and $3 for children, students and senior citizens.
With a mix of actors, puppetry, music and flying, "Two Donuts" is an amazing experience, said Director Georgia Martin, professor of Theatre Arts at Campbell.
"I fell in love with the play, it's just so universal," said Martin. "It is sweet, timeless and touches a lot of people."
Playwright José Cruz Gonzalez' message of the importance of home, family and culture to all people makes a profound point while delivering on laughs and fun.
"This play should delight audiences-young, old and any age," Martin said. "It's appropriate for children and adults who have a fun side to them."
Included in the cast are actors Jon Cheney, Tre'shay Williams, Liz Holmes, James Davis, Kaley Morrrison, Jessi Ferguson, and Kara Morrison, of Fayetteville, N.C., Amber France of Westfield, N.C., Charles Napier, of Coats, N.C., Ernestine Stewart of Roxboro, N.C., and Sharita Barnaby of Dudley, N.C.

Boxing the fastest growing sport in Australia
Boxing the nation's fastest-growing sport, says Australian Bureau of Statistics

BOXING, kayaking and running have punched, paddled and sprinted their way to become Australia's fastest growing sports, but gymnastics appears to be losing its bounce.
New data released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics on participation in sport and recreation shows participation in boxing has increased by 131 per cent since 2005.
Canoeing and kayaking followed with a 113 per cent growth and running or jogging increased 100 per cent.
Ted Tanner, chairperson for Boxing Australia, said they had noticed more people taking part in tournaments or just getting involved in boxing training regimes for fitness reasons.
"People are realising the benefits of the dynamic movements of boxing. It allows them to work out both the upper and lower body,'' he said.
Participation in gymnastics has dropped by 50 per cent since 2005, acccording to the Australian Bureau of Statistics. Picture: Daniel Berehulak.
The similar boost in running or jogging numbers has come as a bit of a surprise to officials.
"There has been no advertising or media push. It seemed to happen organically,'' Robert Boyle, president of the Australian Ultra Runners Association, said.
He has particularly noticed a growing interest in trail running, where people can navigate bush tracks between 10 and 100 kilometres.
"People enjoy the outdoors. They start off with small races but soon get hooked,'' he said.
On the flipside, interest in gymnastics is plunging, with participation dropping by 50 per cent since 2005.
Mark Rendell, CEO of Gymnastics Australia, was unconcerned however, disputing the statistics.
"Gymnastics currently has more than 144,500 Australian registered members, which is not accurately reflected in the ABS figures," he said.
"The participation rate of gymnastics has in fact increased significantly since 2005 by 37 per cent, which includes an encouraging 63 per cent increase in participation amongst the 16+ age group."
Walking is our most popular activity. Some 4,258,800 of us enjoy a stroll to get the heart rate up, while 3,089,300 say they head to the gym and 1,401,000 go swimming or diving.
The figures show that our rate of participation in sport of physical activity has dropped slightly from 65.9 per cent in 2005 to 65 per cent in 2011-2012.
Young Australians aged 15 to 17 have the highest rate of participation at 78 per cent while men outdo women.
"The participation rates of men were slightly higher than women, with 66 per cent and 64 per cent respectively,'' Andrew Middleton, from the ABS, said.

I'm thinking they are counting all the corporate heads doing White Collar Boxing too... I gotta read the article again.
Funny because MMA was big in Australia too... having said that, my 2 of my local pubs were showing the live coverage of the Marquez VS Manny 4 fight, something they had never done before.

Boxing is big over there. They don't have many pros but the few elite or semi-elite guys they have are big stars, a bit like Canada. For example we consider Mundine a joke but his fights are on ppv over there.

Hometown Killerby Rothgeb Carol J.
Child Killer Springfield, Ohio was an All-American town. A town rocked in 1992 by the discovery of two adolescent girls, brutally raped and murdered. Investigators soon learned that four local misfits had been accomplices. Yet DNA tests proved that the true culprit was still on the loose. Deadly Deceiver Inexplicably, the four men continued to mislead police throughout the years of the investigation, periodically supplying false clues and leads. While a cold-blooded killer remained at large, 31-year-old Belinda Anderson was raped and murdered, and Helen Preston, 38, was raped, beaten, and left for dead. Not until 1996, when a prostitute managed to survive a terrifying ordeal at the hands of her would-be slayer, were police able to catch the man who'd been stalking Springfield's women and children. Family Man He was William K. Sapp, husband, father of two young boys and a baby girl of his own. Behind his mask of seeming normalcy lay a murderous rage toward women. Here is the startling true story of a town besieged-and of the relentless manhunt that tracked Sapp through the years, finally bringing him to justice. Includes 16 Pages Of Shocking Photos

Andress Retires After 33 Years
at the helm of the Centenary College Choir
The Centenary College Choir is world renowned and a major reason for that has been the leadership of its director for the past 33 years, Will K. Andress.
An alumnus of the Choir himself, Andress brought a passion to his work that built upon venerable Choir traditions and elevated them to legendary status by the end of academic year 2006–07. As he hangs up his director's hat with official retirement at the end of June 2007, he can look back with pride upon a stellar list of personal and Choir accomplishments, including:
- Performing in 31 countries on six continents, including Russia, South Africa, Australia, India and China
- Visiting the The White House seven times to entertain Presidents, First Ladies and guests during annual holiday receptions
- Opening the Super Dome alongside Al Hirt and Pete Fountain and their groups
- Being the first collegiate choir from the South to make an Around-the-Word Tour and the first Protestant choir to sing Mass in St. Peter's Basicilica
Additionally, he sang as an undergraduate during the Choir's lengthy engagements at Radio City Music Hall and also participated in the Choir's first and second international tours—to the Far East—soloing at both. "For a little boy from El Dorado, Ark., that was quite a trip," he recalls.
Some 13 years after his 1961 Centenary graduation, Will Andress was back on campus as director of the Choir, following Voran's retirement in 1972 and a two-year director's stint by Dr. William Ballard.
Andress brought with him a desire to always give students the benefit of the doubt and to always expect their best. "I believe in providing a quality program that offers variety and where young people can look good and be the best in American youth—which they are," he said in a Choir publication honoring its first half-century. Fifteen years later, he's still able to say: "In all my years, in trips all over the world, I never had a problem."
For Choir presentations, he has been hailed as having a knack for choosing sacred choral pieces that never seemed to go out of style, mixed with secular music that changed with the times. Throughout his tenure and travels, he developed a series of local, regional, national and international contacts that informed future performances and venues. Andress provided Choir members with a variety of performance opportunities, with celebrities—like Bob Hope and Barry Manilow—and with professional symphonies, musicals, television shows and recordings in addition to the hundreds of presentations at churches throughout the world.
"His high standard of ethics imposed on the Centenary students has provided the world a taste of Louisiana hospitality and courtesy representing the best that our state has to offer," said Choir alumnus Randy Brown during his Image Award presentation. "His influence on more than 500 of these students has created generations of Shreveport-Bossier ambassadors living all over the world…I guess if I had to sum up Will Andress in a few words, these would come to mind: genuine… respectful… professional…courteous…imaginative… charming… inventive…creative."
Though there is a lengthy list of impressive people and places touched by the Centenary College Choir, Andress seems most proud of the individual students and the close relationships that have developed among Choir members. He is pleased that so many assume leadership roles on campus, that they do the right thing, maintain a spirit of gratitude and develop a great love for the college and one another. Some even some find their spouses among fellow Choir members. Many have become successful choral directors in churches and schools, and many more participate in Choir alumni activities and choirs.
"I believe that the Choir over the 65 years has really developed and enhanced its love of the College. Sixty-seven percent of Choir alumni give to the College. That shows how much they love this College and I think loving it and supporting it and traveling and singing for it 30, 40, 50 times a year, you really develop a love of it," Andress said. "We are here to support and be an arm of the school and to carry it into the community and to educate the students."
So, after all these years, how does he feel about the prospect of retirement? "Well," he says, "I've walked the campus for 38 years. I'm going to miss it. The students have been my vitamin pills for so many years as I've aged."
Words of wisdom for those who come behind? "On my watch I tried to do the best I could. I wasn't as gifted as some but I made up for it with passion…The Choir will continue to do the right thing. They'll know that that is. Their inner spirit will know."
—By Lynn Stewart with contributions from Peyton Dufour '07, Choir Alumnus

Are you having a business meeting or simply seeing your old time friends at Dallas? If you do, then you need to make sure you have booked a hotel to stay before you arrive there. However, before you even make a booking be sure you are familiar with certain things on what you should be looking for with the right hotel.
The following are the factors you need to consider when you choose the right hotel in Dallas to stay:
1. Proximity to everything you need.
You want to make sure that the hotel you are going to stay is near to everything you need. Things like groceries, shopping destinations, the market, transportation, hospital, etc. The closer you are to these places the better. You will be able to save time and money at the same time.
2. Amenities and facilities.
If you are the type of person who wants just a single occupancy room, with air conditioning, toilet and bath, simply the basics and nothing fancy, there are hotels in Dallas who do offer the basic facilities. However, if you are the type who is looking for a more in depth amenities with all the luxury during your stay go for it! There are hotels that do have what you are looking for. One way to find us is to search online for something like BOTTLE ROCKET WEB DESIGNERS FIRM
3. Quality of service.
Another factor you need to take into consideration is the quality of service. Of course, you want to make sure all your needs and requests are being handled right away. The people at the hotel will make your stay as much as much as possible very comfortable for you. If there are some issues, then they should be able to address them right away without any delays.
You can find how good the service of a particular hotel is through reading reviews or testimonials of previous guests online. Do browse around online and you see various testimonials.
4. Price.
Lastly would be the price. Of course no matter how grand you want for a hotel room you want to make sure it is within your budget. You do not want to overspend for a room that you only need to sleep for night or over the weekend. Be practical. You could always find a hotel in Dallas that does have all that you need without having to pay a hefty price for it. All it takes is for you to look around and see for yourself what Dallas has to offer in terms of hotel accommodation
Remember, the most important thing is that you were able to stay comfortably at your room, has been served well during your stay and you get the value for what you have paid for. All these and more should be your benchmark on what makes your stay worth your while. Be very cautious on what hotel you are going to choose. You are just an inch away from having the best stay in Dallas you could have ever experienced.
Bottom line, it does pay of when you do read online and see for yourself what other people have to say. Do not just believe what you see on the gallery. You never service is not that good or there are other loopholes you have not seen. Thus, do read different reviews coming from guests. Collate them and decide what hotel you are going to book the next time you come visit Dallas. It will surely save you all the hassle, money as well as time during your stay. Start reading now. Choose carefully which hotel in Dallas you want to spend a night or two.

A story on the Voice of San Diego website carries some very distinct echoes of an ongoing story in the Syracuse school district -- the high numbers of suspensions and the different rates of suspensions among white, black and Latino students.
The story also contains a familiar name weighing in on the issue -- Dan Losen, director of the Center for Civil Rights Remedies at UCLA's Civil Rights Project. Losen has been contracted twice by the Syracuse school board to help sort out the suspension rates here.
Part of the issue in San Diego is the policy of suspending students for "willful defiance" -- a catch-all phrase that covers all kinds of misbehavior, including very minor offenses.

Poll: How important is trusting yourself in order to have "good" ukemi during aikido

Re: Poll: How important is trusting yourself in order to have "good" ukemi during aik
Matthew Gano
I said self-trust is crucial to good ukemi. If you can't trust your own actions, you're going to hesitate from time to time and that's often the kind of thing that gets people hurt. As uke, I never fully trust nage. Stuff happens after all, and if I assume it won't for the sake of trust, I can get hurt. You might say the only thing I trust is the uncertainty of the world around me. In that context, trust in myself seems the more certain option since I at least can control my responses to the situations I have relatively little control over.
I agree with you, but I have two points. 1) A good nage can sense when he/she should pull back on a technique or a throw in order to save the uke esp. when they can tell that the uke is not ready or maybe a little afraid. 2) Uke should know when nage is not paying attention and bail out, if necessary, in order to save themselves from injury. I know someone who decided to take that approach after he got injured by a thoughtless nage.

Will the Sony Xperia Z cope with the fierce competition of 2013?
0. phoneArena 09 Jan 2013, 15:50 posted on
Oh, Sony, oh Xperia! How good it is to see an old player return to the big game with a bang. The Xperia Z, announced at CES 2013, turned out the be the most-intriguing smartphone at the whole expo, although that wasn't really hard to achieve, considering the complete lack of competition...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Ascension of Sony is what we aspire. Sony is like.no.other when it's abot Quality and Design. As the company is now in the unfortunate situation forgetting its grandeur will be inhumane.

Please guys tell me the sunlight eligibility of the Xperia Z compared with GS3 or iPhone 5.

I don't care if other phones that come out will have better specs. Build quality, water and dust resistant. Perfect for OCD people like me who hates dust getting inside. I'm sold on the water resistance and glass body.
114. lallolu (Posts: 472; Member since: 18 Sep 2012)
The xperia is the most complete 5 incher presently. Quad core S4, 2GB RAM, relatively big battery and 13mp camera.
117. darac (Posts: 2156; Member since: 17 Oct 2011)
This phone doesn't need to compete with the S4.
Sony just needs to build up steam steadily and sell 10-15M Xperia phones per quarter.. and it will. (Sony's internal sales projections are along those numbers also )
Even though the S4 will be superior in terms of specs, the Zed is good enough to warrant a happy and satisfied customer.
It should have a decent battery life, and the processor is plenty fast and future proof for the next 18 months at least
118. simad3 (Posts: 4; Member since: 17 Dec 2012)
Every spec is fine. But again like every year they are gonna lose it in the processor fight. They were single core when everybody else was dual-core(2011), dual-core when quad-core was norm(2012) and now they are quad-core when samsung coming out with a eight-core processor.
127. JimmyMackey (Posts: 5; Member since: 26 Dec 2012)
Considering that the phone market has their own expo, or rather, several, phones aren't usually the feature at CES. Samsung's OLED flexible screen is still a pipe dream though and Sony has a real phone to look at. The most exciting part about this new Xperia though is the HD screen. If I get a Z, when I watch TV using my DISH Sling Adapter and DISH Remote Access app, I will have the best possible picture. I watch a lot of TV and my DISH coworker and I like to take advantage of our breaks and lunch to catch up on shows we would miss because we have such a busy home life.

When it's rolling anything is nothing to Sony. See the history. It will again be the most trusted Electronics brand.
132. lovexperia (Posts: 1; Member since: 28 Feb 2013)
It's pretty f***ing clear phonearena does think much of the xperia. It has yet to give Sony full credit for the xperia range. In reviews they comment how good the specs are but knock them back in the same sentence. I have a xperia SL after my iPhone bored the hell out of me and can assure you that the camera is top top quality and amazing quality on really close shots. I'm not sure what these monkeys are giving reviews about how the cameras colour quality is poor?? Even in this article, this donkey says " it turned out to be the most intriguing phone, although there was a complete lack of competition" !!! So what they had rubber f***ing phones up against the xperia z??? Get a grip mate and pull your head from out of your arse and realise that Sony are producing top quality phones!!!

Several churches in an Arkansas community are banding together to help their neighbors. The churches operate a free health clinic.
"The worrying is over for people in Northwest Arkansas who can not afford medical care.
Eureka Christian Health Outreach or ECHO is a first-rate health clinic run by people who are putting their faith into action
Doctor Dan Bell says he started ECHO, because Jesus teaches his followers to give.
"To me, that's kind of powerful," Dr. Bell said. "Sort of this unsaid thing that 'at least I've got a place to go where I can get health care' versus this sort of hopeless feeling of 'What am i going to do? Who cares about me?"
Giving Their Free Time
Dr. Bell is a family practitioner by day. His wife Suzie, also has a job. They give their free time to the free clinic.
"We're supposed to help each other, and we're supposed to love each other," Suzie Bell said. "And to me, that's more important than having a perfectly clean house."
They can not do it alone, so they asked nearby churches for volunteers.
"I've never had anybody say no," Bell said.
What they got after their appeal were doctors, nurses, pharmacists, you name it, all willing to work for free.
"We're very blessed here," one volunteer said. "I think we have a lot of people here who want to help each other."
A Community Effort
The clinic itself is a donated church gymnasium.
"This is a community effort," said Faith Christian Church Pastor Gary Hayhurst. "We have people from all walks of life that make this work and that's why it works."
"Hundreds of communities across America are creating their own free health clinics. They treat a total of about 3.5 million people, who don't have insurance, according to the National Association of Free Clinics.
Not one cent of government money keeps them afloat. Everything is donated -- medicine, manpower, supplies, even hot meals.
And what's amazing is, you can't help but notice the smiles on the workers and the respect they give the patients.
"It's the most heart-warming feeling to feel the love when you walk in the door," said clinic patient Jim Swolley.
Living examples that is really is better to give than receive.
"I think any community no matter what size, has people that want to help other people," Dr. Bell said.

'Hanuman, the monkey God, carrying Rama and Laksmana'
Pakistan (possibly)
Late 19th century
Museum no. IM.2:95-1917
Hanuman is the Hindu monkey god. He is a great hero and is known as the god of courage, hope, knowledge and devotion. He is usually depicted as a strong monkey holding a mace (gada) which is a sign of bravery and has a picture of Lord Rama tattooed on his chest to show his devotion to Lord Rama. In this painting Hanuman is carrying Lord Rama and Laksmana on his shoulders. It is a scene taken from a story in the Ramayana.

The Near and Middle Eastern Journal of Research in Education (NMEJRE) is a peer reviewed academic Journal currently published by Qscience. The Journal is the first of its kind in the Arab World. The NMEJRE is a focused academic forum on issues dealing with education in the Arab World and the Middle East. The Journal welcomes manuscripts that are research oriented with a strong methodology and empirical results. The intent is to have Western readers in education have greater understanding of education matters happening in the Arab World and the Middle East. We would like to extend our invitation to contributors to the journal. We are looking for people to share ideas about research in the education field affecting students, systems and structures in the Near and Middle East.
The NMEJRE provides an international forum for edutionalists, researchers, and policy makers to share the knowledge and experience in the discipline of education in the Near and Middle Eastern Region. The journal attempts to disseminate applied and basic research in the area of education indigenous to the region. The journal has a multidisciplinary orientation in education with emphases on comparative educational research. Empirical studies are given priority over normative and philosophical oriented manuscripts. The journal also welcomes research models fitting in well with the epistemological and cultural models of the region. The identity of the journal is multiple but mainly indigenous to the Near and Middle Eastern region.
The journal has its own geographic perimeters defined by its title. However, the journal encourages research papers about North African countries as well as Greek Cyprus, West Bank, Gaza strip, and the rest of the Near and Middle Eastern countries.

By David Wheeler/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – In her first three seasons as a head coach, Stephanie Murphy guided teams into the Class 5A championship game – twice with Meridian, once with Tupelo.
Expand that timeline a bit, and Murphy had teams in Jackson at the State Tournament four of her first five seasons.
Pretty lofty standards to maintain.
Back to the present, and Murphy has her sights set on a return to Jackson with the Tupelo Lady Wave as the Division 2-6A Tournament begins today in Starkville. And she hopes her Lady Wave have that same focus and goal as well.
"I don't want a repeat of last season, and hopefully the girls understand that," said Murphy, who saw the Lady Wave lose their first-round game of the division tournament last season, ending their season. "That's got to be your goal, getting to Jackson, that's just the way I view it.
"I want this group to be able to run out on the floor of the coliseum in Jackson for warm-ups."
The Lady Wave (17-11) begin that road to Jackson today at 7 p.m. in Starkville against South Panola. Tupelo tied for the regular season 2-6A title, but is the No. 2 seed because of tiebreakers, while South Panola is the No. 3 seed.
Tupelo swept South Panola in both regular season contests.
"We've got to do a better job of running our offense against their 1-3-1," Murphy said. "It's hard to get into a rhythm, get comfortable against it, partly because they run it so well.
"And if our defense plays as well as it has of late, well be fine."
Making adjustments
The Lady Wave are also adjusting well to a different rotation than the one it started the season with. Point guard Antoinette Riddle rejoined the lineup in mid-December after finishing rehab of an injury, and 8th grader Jaliegha Polk has played in the last six games, hitting in double figures offensively in three of those.
"We're healthy as compared to November," Murphy said. "Riddle has given us consistency at point guard, and Polk is helping us stretch defenses out."
Chy Cunningham is leading the Lady Wave offense with 14.5 points per game; Dasia Mosely is a workhorse under the goal for Tupelo and is averaging 9 rebounds per game, and Riddle is leading the team with 3.6 assists per game.
The Golden Wave (25-3) are the No. 1 seed in the tournament, and play South Panola at 5:30 p.m. today. In the 2-6A tournament, teams winning today will advance to Friday's championships, and more importantly, advance into next week's north 6A tournament.

Booger was one of our barn kittens out on my parent's farm. He was really sick as a kitty. He had a really bad upper respiratory infection. So we brought him in the house to treat him. But he never lost his runny nose. And he got his name from sneezing out these insanely huge boogers for such a small kitten. Still to this day he has a runny nose. He has a mass in his nasal cavity that has an infectious disease within the mass. I'm just waiting a little bit before getting the surgery he needs done.

Lead Stories
In October Washington state's Department of Labor and Industries began an investigation of Seattle's Internet pornography giant Clublove, according to a report in the Seattle newsweekly The Stranger. The investigation will focus on, among other things, Clublove's workers' break policy (less than the state-required one hour per eight-hour shift for its live-nude models) and allegations that female performers must share an unsterilizable plastic dildo equipped with a microcamera.
In September officials in Pinellas County, Florida, unveiled what they hope will be a cutting-edge traffic safety program as a model for reducing pedestrian deaths and calming drivers' road rage. The program asks pedestrians to extend their right hands (as if shaking hands) continuously through an intersection, while smiling, to get the attention of drivers. Said a worker in Clearwater, Florida, when the program was explained by a St. Petersburg Times reporter: "Nobody is going to walk across the street with their arm out. I'm not going to do it. Are you?"

In separate incidents in the same week in September, Debra Rodriguez, 41, of Ames, Iowa, and Kristin R. Smebak, 34, of Superior, Wisconsin, both of whom had been drinking, forced their young kids to drive their cars home so the mothers would avoid DUI tickets if they were stopped. Rodriguez's inexperienced 11-year-old daughter caused a rollover, injuring both occupants, but Smebak's inexperienced eight-year-old son made it safely over the bridge connecting Duluth, Minnesota, to Superior before being spotted by a patrolman, who arrested Smebak.
According to police who arrested Fairfax (Virginia) High School math teacher Fred Benevento, 47, in April during a drug sting, Benevento said the 13 plastic bags of crack cocaine in his car "came flying through his open window," and that he "was just looking at them when the police officers arrived."
Failed Murder Defenses
In May the Supreme Court of Canada ruled 5-4 to reject Brad Stone's "automaton" defense, that he was able to stab his wife 47 times only because he was in a robotic state brought on by the trauma of being called a bedroom failure. And in June an Atlanta jury rejected Christopher Stobbart's claim of self-defense for shooting his boss in the head 14 times, then walking to another room, reloading and shooting him ten more times.
Of Course!
In July, just after the end of the war, Yugoslavia's ecology minister said the uncomfortably warm and rainy spring and summer weather was caused by NATO aggression. And in May, a mother in St. Cloud, Florida, told police that the reason she let her teenage daughters smoke marijuana was so they wouldn't become alcoholics like their father. And Yuji Nishizawa, who hijacked the All Nippon Airways Boeing 747 in July and killed the pilot before being captured, told police his main motivation was to see how a real plane flew, after all the flight-simulation video games he had played.

Find A Grave Memorial# 90724668
Natasha, I am the chairman of the cemetery committee at St. Andrews on the Sound and we are creating a record of our plots and who is buried there.
Ella Ray Thompson is listed on a 1937 survey of our cemetery, but not in a 1980 survey nor is there any sign of her grave in the Thompson plot at present.
I notice that you included the inscription from her stone in your post and wondered if you actually have a photo of it that would help us determine where her grave might be.
There is a large pine tree right in the middle of the plot that is going to be removed soon and I am concerned that her remains might disturbed. Any help you can give us would certainly be appreciated. Best regards, Elaine Henson

Turning left heading sth/west out of Port Augusta it was so noticable how the landscape changed,salt encrusted land to red soil, flat country to hilly country.
Amusing to see a sign just on the outskirts of P. Augusta which says "WESTERN AUSTRALIA LEFT

MONITOR TOWNSHIP — Noah VanMullekom faced some hurdles at the Western Middle School geography bee.
As a sixth grader, the 11-year-old Noah was going up against students a grade or two above him. But there is another hurdle Noah had to clear.
Noah is autistic.
Despite the developmental disability, Noah came in first place at the school's geography bee and now has a chance to move on to the state competition at Central Michigan University in March.
The geography bee, sponsored by National Geographic, operated in much the same way as a spelling bee. Students on stage would walk to a microphone to answer a question. If students got the question wrong, they walked off the stage. Noah's teacher Sean Mika said it was one of the longest competitions in the school's geography bee history, coming down to a tiebreaker.
Noah's parents, Sara and Larry VanMullekom, were both at the event and said support was overwhelming.
"They were clapping and calling his name," Sara VanMullekom said. "When he would get one right, they would cheer for him."
Sara VanMullekom said Noah has always taken an interest in geography, starting when he was 4-years-old, drawing maps of different countries.
"Noah has always had a fascination with geography, he's always liked it," VanMullekom said. "It's just been one of his things."
Mika said Noah's performance matched his contributions to the classroom. Noah came in top three in his classroom geography competition in December, which allowed him to compete in the January competition.
"Noah is a very good student, he's very attentive and works very hard," Mika said.
Mika was in the auditorium for the finals and said there was a lot of support for Noah and the competitors.
"The students were very involved, they were really pulling for him," Mika said.
"I cried, it was very emotional," VanMullekom said. "A lot of those kids, I've known since they were in kindergarten, it was just very exciting to see them cheer him on."
Sara VanMullekom said the support has always been high in the district.
"It's a wonderful school district, I could go on and on with how great they've been," VanMullekom said.
Noah must now wait and see if he makes it to the state competition. Noah took a test to see if he qualifies to advance to the state competition on March 30 at Central Michigan University. The national competition is held May 22 to 24 in Washington, D.C.
Sara VanMullekom said even if Noah doesn't make it to the state competition, getting this far was quite the accomplishment.
"We didn't care if Noah won or lost, we were proud of him getting as far as he did."

Self Selection and Information Role of Online Product Reviews

Information Systems Research, Vol. 19, No. 4, pp. 456-474, 2008
Online product reviews may be subject to self-selection biases that impact consumer purchase behavior, online ratings' time series, and consumer surplus. This occurs if early buyers hold different preferences than do later consumers regarding the quality of a given product. Readers of early product reviews may not successfully correct for these preference differences when interpreting ratings and making purchases. In this study, we develop a model that examines how idiosyncratic preferences of early buyers can affect long-term consumer purchase behavior as well as the social welfare created by review systems. Our model provides an explanation for the structure of product ratings over time, which we empirically test using online book reviews posted on Amazon.com. Our analysis suggests that firms could potentially benefit from altering their marketing strategies, such as pricing, advertising, or product design, to encourage consumers likely to yield positive reports to self-select into the market early and generate positive word of mouth for new products. On the other hand, self-selection bias, if not corrected, decreases consumer surplus.

So Far, Obama Remains Popular With Public
Poll Finds Reservations About Policies on Terrorism and Deficit, but Tentative Backing for Health-Care and Energy Overhauls
WASHINGTON -- A hundred days into his presidency, Barack Obama's standing with the public remains high, increasing the odds he can enact his ambitious agenda. Most Americans like their new president, even amid some reservations about his policy goals, a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll finds.
The poll paints the image of a popular president, but also offers cautionary notes for the White House, including growing worry over the rising federal deficit, a solid majority opposing his release of Bush-era memos on interrogation techniques and slipping support for his signature economic-stimulus bill. Mr. Obama faces both a rising number of people who view him as a liberal rather than a moderate, and a populist concern that he's not tough enough on Wall Street.
There is early, tentative support for some of Mr. Obama's most complex policy goals, including health-care and energy overhauls, and support for most of the major moves he's already made.
But the poll also finds that the president himself is more popular than his policies, a divide that may catch up with him as Congress begins debate over the big issues in earnest.
The poll finds yet another jump in the portion of the public that sees the nation headed in the right direction, despite the continued hard times, to the point where survey participants are now evenly divided between those who see things going in the right direction, and those who believe things are on the wrong track. That's the most optimistic finding in more than five years, and it suggests that the president himself is injecting this optimism into people, and that his own job approval numbers are likely to stay strong, pollsters say.
For the Republican opposition, the poll had scant good news. By a wide margin, the public is more likely to blame congressional Republicans for any gridlock.
Overall, more than half of those surveyed say the president is off to a great or good start, and nearly six in 10 say he's accomplished a great deal or a fair amount.
And 61% of people approve of the job Mr. Obama is doing as president, better ratings than George W. Bush or Bill Clinton had at the 100-day mark. Even more -- 64% -- see him in a positive light, though on this measure of popularity, he's lost some ground with both independents and Republicans.
The survey of 1,005 adults was conducted April 23-26 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points for the full sample.
"This poll shows presidential leadership," says Bill McInturff, a Republican pollster who conducts the survey with Democrat Peter D. Hart. "After 100 days, he has the latitude to really govern with some potency to try and get this very aggressive agenda done." He adds that the intensity of the public support is particularly high. "We are watching a Reagan-like early presidency."
The high ratings are driven largely by personality. Asked for their assessment of various qualities, the public gives Mr. Obama strong marks across the board. But it offers its highest grades on personal matters like honesty and values, versus leadership or professional questions such as being firm and decisive, or appointing qualified people. More than eight in 10 people surveyed say they like him personally.
"There is this kind of grumbling that this is all style, this is all fluff -- the spouse and the dog -- that it's somehow illegitimate," says Mr. McInturff. "All those things are important, because they provide a very strong personal attachment to him." That, he says, can give Mr. Obama months of bonus time to enact an aggressive agenda.
This sort of support is apparent in voters like Dora Ramirez, 73 years old, an independent who voted for Sen. John McCain last fall and worries about the growing national debt and, like half of all survey participants, opposes Mr. Obama's decision to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
But she approves of the job he's done in this first 100 days, and his personal style appeals to her. "I like the way he tries to be more positive about all the problems that are facing us," Mrs. Ramirez, of La Miraza, Calif., said in an interview. "I like the way he handles himself personally. I like his family. I like that he's a family man."
But personality may only take the president so far. Only a slim majority -- 52% -- say they are extremely or quite confident that Mr. Obama has the right set of goals and policies as president. That shows how hard it will be to pass his aggressive agenda.
"If the road for the first 100 days seems bumpy and full of potholes, the next stretch of road is hardly going to be much smoother," says Mr. Hart, the Democratic pollster.
That's partly because of the complexity of the issues Mr. Obama hopes to pursue.
On energy, 53% of survey participants said they approved of a proposal that would require companies to reduce greenhouse gases that cause global warming, even if it would also mean higher utility bills for consumers. That's a majority, but not such a large majority as to compel Congress to fall in line, Mr. Hart says.
On health care, the numbers favor the Obama plan but also aren't overwhelming. Without being given a description, 33% said that Mr. Obama's plan is a good idea, versus 26% who said it's a bad idea. When given a description, 56% said they favored the plan, versus just 33% who opposed it.
The combined weight of the issues may also affect the agenda. Already, 52% of people said Mr. Obama is trying to take on too many issues besides the economy.
One area where Mr. Obama has run against public opinion involves the debate over past use of torture in interrogations. A majority, 53%, disapproved of the president's decision to release memos detailing these methods.
Further, a clear majority, 61%, opposes a criminal investigation into whether torture was committed during the Bush administration. The White House has sent mixed messages on this matter.
On the economy, there was some sign that the public may be turning a corner. About 18% of those surveyed said they were very or somewhat satisfied, a small fraction of the public, but up from 7% in February. And the portion very dissatisfied with the economy dropped to 52% from 70%.
"We may have reached the bottom," in terms of public attitude, says Mr. McInturff. But the poll also shows continued concern over job security, and Mr. Hart speculated that if unemployment numbers rise, the public mood will fall again.

Poll Methodology
The Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll was based on nationwide telephone interviews of 1,005 adults, including a sample of 100 interviews with people who only use a cell phone. It was conducted April 23-26 by the polling organizations of Peter D. Hart and Bill McInturff.
The sample was drawn in the following manner: 350 geographic points were randomly selected proportionate to the population of each region and, within each region, by size of place. These individuals were selected by a method that gave all telephone numbers, listed and unlisted, an equal chance of being included. The cell phone sample was drawn from a list of cell phone users nationally.
One adult, 18 years or older, was selected from each household by a procedure to provide a balance of respondents by sex. The data's margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points; sample tolerances for subgroups are larger.

Charles Barkley praises Dez Bryant: 'He's my new favorite NFL player'
Charles Barkley told Jay Leno this week that Cowboys rookie receiver Dez Bryant is his new favorite player.
Barkley made the reference in response to Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland's pre-draft question to Bryant when he asked if Bryant's mother was a prostitute.

We booked 10 months in advance. 2 weeks before our arrival we had some nice conversation with Carlotta. When we arrived, the apartment was already given to other people. The alternatives offered to us were clearly worse, nevertheless we accepted one after many discussions as we did not want to sleep in the street. A price was agreed but Wimdu did not pay back the difference; now we have to go to the court to get our money back. If you don't like lots of trouble during and after your stay, we recommend to avoid this "host".

19 Ways to Detox Your Dietkathypatalsky
We've just spent an entire month and a half (if you count Thanksgiving as the start of the holiday season) eating massive amounts of amazingly delicious foods — meats, cheeses, desserts, boozy treats — to our hearts' content.

Djokovic Beats Nadal at U.S. Open for Year's 3rd Grand Slam
Novak Djokovic strengthened his place atop men's tennis with a four-set, four-hour win against Rafael Nadal in the U.S. Open final, becoming the sixth man to win three Grand Slam championships in a single year.
Djokovic, a 24-year-old Serb and the top seed, improved his season record to 64-2 with a 6-2, 6-4, 6-7 (3-7), 6-1 victory over Nadal, the second seed from Spain, at the National Tennis Center in New York. It was a rematch of the 2010 U.S. Open final won by Nadal.
Djokovic also beat Nadal, 25, in the Wimbledon final in July and won the Australian Open in January. The only one of tennis' four major tournaments he failed to capture this year was the French Open, where he lost to Roger Federer in the semifinals.
"I think I played a great match from the start to the end," Djokovic said in a news conference. "When you play that well, you must enjoy, you must bring a smile on your face, because it's all going on your side."
Djokovic needed a medical timeout early in the fourth set, calling a trainer onto the court to work on his back. He returned from the break to win five of the last six games in the match.
"It's an incredible feeling," Djokovic said in an on-court interview. "I've had an amazing year and it keeps going."
Long Match
The 4-hour, 10-minute contest featured long points, including a 31-shot rally in the third set. The third game of the second set lasted 22 points and 176 shots, with eight deuces. There were 30 rallies that lasted at least 15 strokes in the match.
Nadal had his serve broken 11 times in 18 games in the final after losing serve 13 times in his six previous matches in the tournament.
"I'm disappointed, but you know what, this guy is doing unbelievable things," Nadal said in an on-court interview. "What you did this year is probably impossible to repeat."
Nadal, ranked No. 2 behind Djokovic on the ATP World Tour, has lost all six of his matches this year against the Serb and said he has to focus on how to break that streak.
"Six straight losses, for sure that's painful," Nadal said in a news conference. "But I am going to work every day until that changes. I have an easy goal right now."
Djokovic won $1.8 million for the championship, while Nadal got $900,000.
Three Majors
Only five other men have won three majors in a year since the Open era began in 1968. Nadal did it last year to join Federer of Switzerland, Mats Wilander of Sweden, Jimmy Connors of the U.S. and Rod Laver of Australia, who swept all four Grand Slam titles in 1969.
Djokovic reached the final by recovering from a two-set deficit and two match points to beat Federer, a five-time champion who was seeded No. 3.
Djokovic hasn't been able to turn his success on court into a flood of endorsements. He has four sponsors listed on his website: Austrian racket manufacturer Head NV, Italian clothing brand Sergio Tacchini International, Serbian telecommunications company Telekom Srbija and German nutritional supplement brand FitLine.
Federer is still the sport's top money maker with 10 deals, even without a major triumph since a men's record-extending 16th Grand Slam championship at the 2010 Australian Open. The 30-year-old from Switzerland makes $47 million a year from prize money and endorsements from companies such as Nike Inc., Swiss bank Credit Suisse Group AG and Swiss luxury watch brand Rolex, according to an estimate by Forbes magazine in May.
Nadal's Deals
Nadal makes $31.5 million annually from matches and sponsors. He's got nine deals, including Nike, Giorgio Armani SpA and Spain's largest insurer, Mapfre SA.
Djokovic has doubled his income to more than $20 million, including $10.1 million in tennis winnings this season. He's needed more Grand Slam victories to break into bigger deals, according to Nigel Currie, director of London-based sports marketing agency brandRapport.
"Djokovic has come along at a time where Federer and Nadal have got the big deals," Currie said in an interview before the U.S. Open started last month. "This season, he's emerged from their shadows and it takes time to get past them and for the world to realize this guy is the genuine article."
Djokovic, who became the world's top-ranked player following his Wimbledon win, began a run of 43 straight victories when he led Serbia to its first Davis Cup title in December. The streak ended at the French Open, leaving him one win shy of tying the record of 41 wins to start a season, set by John McEnroe in 1984.
No Impact
His other defeat this year came against Britain's Andy Murray last month in Cincinnati, when Djokovic quit the match because of a shoulder injury at 6-4, 3-0. He said during the U.S. Open that the injury hadn't affected his play in New York.
Djokovic became the first player to win five ATP World Tour Masters titles in one season, when he won the Rogers Cup in Montreal last month.
Nadal was trying for his 11th Grand Slam singles title, which would have tied him with Laver and Bjorn Borg for fourth on the men's career list. Federer has 16, followed by Sampras (14) and Roy Emerson (12).
Australia's Samantha Stosur won the women's championship yesterday with a 6-2, 6-3 victory against Serena Williams of the U.S.
The finals were delayed one day after rain wiped out almost two full days of competition last week and the tournament was extended to a third week for the fourth straight year.

The NHL kicked off the new hockey season over the weekend, and you know what that means: bone jarring hits, end-to-end action and the perfect excuse to rewatch your favorite hockey movies of all time.
Okay, so maybe there aren't quite as many great hockey movies as there are, say, great movies about baseball. And we also admit that for some reason, Hollywood doesn't always seem to get hockey, often using the great sport as a platform for unfunny comedies ('The Tooth Fairy,' anyone?) or lame romcoms. (Remember 'The Cutting Edge'? Yeah, we wish we could forget it too.)
But for every misfire like 'The Love Guru' there's a great hockey film hiding in your Blu-ray bin, just waiting to be rediscovered. In order to help you celebrate the beginning of the new NHL season in style, then, we've put together our list of the top hockey films of all time. So drop your gloves and grab your popcorn, because it's time to face off with Hollywood's best puck potboilers. And sorry, monkey fans, but 'MVP: Most Valuable Primate' didn't quite make the cut. Hey, there's always next year.
• Honorable Mention -- 'Happy Gilmore' Even though there's not a whole lot of actual hockey in 'Happy Gilmore,' we had to give a shout out to the classic 1996 Adam Sandler comedy about a failed hockey player who decides to join the PGA Tour as a pro golfer. Special props to Bob Barker for the "slap shots" he delivers to Sandler's noggin.
• 7. 'The Mighty Ducks'
While we don't exactly have the fondest of memories for the two sequels, the original 'Mighty Ducks,' which stars Emilio Estevez as a lawyer sentenced to community service in the form of coaching a youth hockey league, still makes us smile despite ourselves. The fact that the 1992 film led Disney to buy an actual NHL franchise and name it the Anaheim Mighty Ducks is just meta-icing on this pop culture cake.
• 6. 'Youngblood'
Rob Lowe and Patrick Swayze provide the all-star wattage in this 1986 film about the dangerous world of minor league hockey -- and the trials you have to face to become a man. Sure, the final fight scene is a bit over the top -- using your sticks like swords is pretty much an automatic suspension -- but we love every cheesy second of it.
• 5. 'Mystery, Alaska'
Russell Crowe took to the ice in this feel-good 1999 comedy about a local rec-league hockey team from the little town of Mystery, Alaska, which ends up taking on the NHL's New York Rangers in an exhibition game. Throw in the timeless Burt Reynolds as a supporting character and you have a recipe for gold medal action.
• 4. 'Sudden Death'
The mussels from Brussels is the ultimate enforcer in this 1995 action flick, as Jean-Claude Van Damme works overtime to prevent terrorists from blowing up an arena full of fans during the Stanley Cup Finals. Not only does the film feature a slew of NHL stars playing themselves in the film, it also uses the Penguins mascot as a villain. Score one for Hollywood.
• 3. 'The Rocket'
You may not be familiar with this 2005 Canadian film, but it was a sensation north of the border, earning 13 nominations at the Canadian equivalent of the Oscars, the Genie Awards. Roy Dupuis ('La Femme Nikita') stars as hockey legend Maurice "Rocket" Richard in a biography that the hall-of-famer personally vetted before his death.
• 2. 'Miracle'
Do you believe in miracles? Well, we sure do, especially after viewing this riveting and uplifting account of the infamous victory over the Soviet Union scored by a ragtag team American college students at the 1980 Winter Olympics. One warning, though: The 2004 Disney film, which stars Kurt Russell as legendary U. S. coach Herb Brooks, has been known to reduce grown men to tears.
• 1. 'Slap Shot'
Could there possibly be any other choice? This 1977 comedy stars Paul Newman as a hardscrabble minor league lifer who rallies a community around his scrappy Charlestown Chiefs in a last-ditch effort to save the team from folding. 'Slap Shot' may be the only film Newman was ever overshadowed in, though, as the fighting Hanson brothers (played by real-life hockey goons David Hanson, Jeff Carlson and Steve Carlson) stole the movie to become enduring icons of the sport itself. An all-time classic.
