MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- A legislative committee is expected to decided on moving a bill to tax and regulate electronic bingo in Alabama to the House floor for possible final passage.
The House Tourism and Travel Committee will consider at 10 a.m. today the proposed constitutional amendment that would ask Alabama voters to decide if they legalize electronic bingo games at some locations, tax the games and establish a commission to regulate them.
The bill was initially considered by the committee last week. But the panel delayed a vote at the request of the sponsor, Democratic Rep. Marcel Black of Tuscumbia.
Black said he needed time to negotiate about possible changes in the bill.

please help
i really need some advice on creating a website. i'm not sure if i should do it myself or pay someone...
are there scams to look out for? i'm not at all sure how to go about this...i need 2 sites....
possibly complicated.....
any advice would be fabulous...
Re: please help
You have 2 options.
1. If you have the time and think you can make a pro website you should do it.
2. If you think the time you have would invest somewhere else like promoting the site you should go for someone to do the job for you but remember don't go for cheap solution as that will not help in the long run.
Re: please help
how much $$ is reasonable?
i really just want to get something started and add to it as i go....
as i could be making $$ consulting clients right now....
Re: please help
It all depends on what you need. Its nothing like website will cost some $$. A plain html page will be some $ and a good CMs may end up having $$$$
Re: please help
Why exactly are you trying to build a website? Knowing that, I would tell you some solutions.
Re: please help
i want to do a consulting service, where clients can call me worldwide for fitness training and health related info.
Re: please help
One option is to use a simple CMS to create it. Many CMSs are complicated and need some time and coding skills before you can get something up, but some are simple and straightforward, and you just need to tweak a few settings. If you need anything changed in the code, you can hire a freelance PHP programmer to make the edits for you, which would cost significantly less than having someone build the site from scratch for you. The best simple CMS in my opinion is Website Baker. I had a site up and running in under an hour.
If you are marketing will primarily be online then you'll need SEO to optimize the site for search engines. You can learn SEO or hire someone to do it for you. If you decide to build for yourself then forums like this are a great place to get guidance and help as you go.
So there are many parameters to deciding whether to hire or to do it yourself. As for your question on scams, yes there are scammers everywhere in every profession. So you need to find someone who at least has a client base and you can get testimonials.
Hope this helps.
This isn't too costly

While regulators ponder how to address concerns of disclosure overload, major investors say they aren't looking for less information, but perhaps less redundancy or less complexity.
"Investors pretty much said to a person they're not turning down disclosure," says Kenneth Daly, president and CEO of the National Association of Corporate Directors, which recently convened an investor summit to hear from major investor groups. "At the same time, they made it abundantly clear, there are lots and lots of technicalities described in the disclosures," especially with respect to complex disclosures in consolidated financial statements. "Many believe it to be excessive," he says.
NACD gathered investors and investor advocates from organizations like the California Public Employees' Retirement System, the California State Teachers' Retirement System, Capital Group, Fidelity, State Street Global Advisors, TIAA-CREF, T. Rowe Price, Vanguard, and the Council of Institutional Investors to get a pulse on what investors are looking for from boards of directors. The NACD summarized the investor viewpoint in a report, "Critical Issues for Board Focus in 2014." The report says investors are looking for more engagement with directors, and not just around proxy season, to get a better sense of the rationale behind the company's governance and strategy.
The Securities and Exchange Commission and the Financial Accounting Standards Board both have undertaken initiatives to reconsider present disclosure requirements. SEC Chair Mary Jo White said last fall she's concerned about the information overload produced by a growing list of disclosure requirements and was launching a review internally and externally about what might be done to address it. The SEC staff issued a report in December summarizing disclosure requirements under Regulation S-K as part of a requirement under the JOBS Act to reduce disclosure burden for emerging growth companies.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board meanwhile is reviewing its disclosure requirements and exploring how to produce a new framework for disclosure requirements that would enable both FASB itself and preparers to focus on disclosures that most matter to users of financial statements. FASB published an invitation to comment in 2012 and more recently a proposed change to its framework for financial reporting to revise the chapter on footnote disclosures.
Peter Gleason, managing director for NACD, says investors have told the NACD their concern about disclosures is focused primarily on the abundance of disclosures produced by redundancy. "There are whole sections of the proxy statement that are repeated, and that's not helpful," he says. Investors would welcome alternative placement for certain kinds of information, he says, such as on corporate websites instead of in regulatory filings. "They are advocating for more disclosure, but in different places than the filed document."

I found this blurb on Engaget very interesting:
"...[a Princeton study] has shown that readers retain information more reliably when they are challenged with so-called "disfluent" fonts..."
I thought Id share something weve been working on for months now.
It is a web font-embedding system which is based on W3C standards and
provides a secure, reliable way to use fonts whose files are hosted on
a global network of servers. When you buy a font license you will be
able to create embeddable fonts. Simply enter the URL(s) where the
font will be used and the languages to be supported, and the system
instantly generates a short block of CSS code. Paste the code into
your website, and you are ready to start using the font.
Hello all,
I am wondering if any of you know of existing or upcoming
technologies, which would enable display of rich typography
(non-system fonts) on websites - without the user having the
particular font installed on his computer and still preserving the
text copy+paste function?
Ok... I'm sending this to the mailing list because I know Chris and
some other Microsoft people are reading this...
Will Microsoft PLEASE... PLEASE for the LOVE OF GOD.... and yes...
For a better reading experience: *Arial or Verdana?*
- If Arial is smaller than Verdana, why do we use arial for the majority of
web apps?
- If there any studies or facts about that?

Robertsdale High School
Those students who ordered a 2010 RHS Yearbook and have not yet picked it up, may do so in the library during school hours.
Dr. Cindy Erickson's International Studies classes have jumped into the fray. The students are furiously learning parliamentary procedures and how to write position papers on world issues, and then deliberating those issues on Friday. This is one of the best freshman classes we've had in years according to the upperclassmen.
The College and Career Preparation class are working on their interview skills. Students are interviewed by Dr. Erickson and the interview is recorded, then the students critique themselves and their classmates. Students are also writing their first career investigative reports. We have students interested in pursuing careers in veterinary medicines, engineering, and wildlife management just to name a few. All of these students must find mentors to help them with this investigative endeavor.
Several community members have volunteered to help out, Dr. John Heilmeier and his veterinary staff are allowing several students to "intern" at the office. Faulkner State has volunteered to speak to several students interested in the culinary arts. And the Eastern Shore Art Center's Nancy Ria is will be meeting with several students interesting in pursing art careers. If you are interested in mentoring please contact Dr. Cindy Erickson at 251-947-4154.
Mrs. Theresa Lacey's classes are studying Shakespeare's "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar" and have discovered what all the Roman civilization gave to the modern world, such as our political system, infrastructure, taxation and the census system.
Central Baldwin Middle School
Last week CBMS enjoyed having the Kona Ice truck visit the school. It was a beneficial fundraiser that all the students loved.
On Aug. 24, the CBMS football team participated in a jamboree hosted by Foley Middle School. The Bears showed their talent against the Fairhope Pirates and the Gulf Shores Dolphins. Come support the CMBS Bears football team tonight at 6 p.m. in Robertsdale. They will face their rivals the Foley Lions. Good Luck. Go Bears!
This week we had the privilege of interviewing coach Lee Wilson of the CBMS football team. Coach Wilson graduated high school in 1983 as a former nose guard and offensive tackle for the Robertsdale Bears. He is starting his 17th year as a football coach for CBMS. Wilson believes if his team comes together as one and they strive to do their best, through hard work and dedication, this football season will be a success. Go Bears!
Robertsdale Elementary School
The staff of cub reporters in the sixth grade Media Club interviewed staff members throughout the RES campus to bring back reports of happenings around our school. Our newest students in the pre-K classes are sharing baby pictures with their classmates as they learn "All About Me."
Kindergarten teachers bragged that their students have been using good manners and following the rules. These students have begun their studies about shapes, colors, letters and numbers, while our first-graders are learning about lower case letters and patterns.
Second-graders are excited to be back in school, and are studying addition and subtraction. Teachers are pleased to have many great writers in this year's second grade classes. Third grade teachers are also happy with their classes that are said to be full of sweet, special kids. In science our third-graders are studying simple machines.
Academics in our upper elementary grades are well off the ground as our fourth-graders are studying Alabama history in social studies, cause and effect in reading, and place values in math. Fifth-graders are also studying cause and effect and, in addition, their lessons include plant and animal cells, subjects and predicates, and comparing and ordering decimals. Their teachers reported that the whole class has done well with rules and procedures. This good behavior will be important when fifth-graders take a field trip to the Sea, Sand, and Stars Learning Center in Orange Beach on Sept. 22.
Sixth-graders are equally busy as they are studying the Western Frontier in social studies, character and summarization skills in reading, prime factorization and divisibility rules in math, and are gaining an overview of Earth Science. The sixth-graders were very happy to be able to take advantage of their new clubs for the first time this past week.
Our administrative staff wanted to make sure that our parents are aware of a number of important upcoming events. We will hold a Title 1 meeting and Open House tonight at 6 p.m. in the multi-purpose room and encourage all parents to attend.
Our annual cookie dough sale begins Friday. ESL parents are encouraged to attend a meeting in the multi-purpose room at 6 p.m. Tuesday. The first of our monthly positive behavior incentive trips to the skating rink will occur during school on Wednesday; the cost is $4 per child. We hope grandparents will join us for a special lunch in their honor on Sept. 17.
Finally, in future events, we look forward to the RES Fun Run on Oct. 1 which we hope will be a catalyst for strong school participation in the Central Baldwin Education Foundation sponsored 5K run and one mile walk/run, which will occur the following day in conjunction with the Honeybee Festival. We hope to see you there!

text: From www.janeresture.com: Malden Island lies 241 nautical miles south of the equator. It is located 108 miles N.N.E. of Starbuck, 460 miles N.W. of Caroline, 365 miles S.S.E. of Christmas, and 373 miles S.E. of Jarvis Island. It is a triangular, flat coral island, about 5 miles long (east and west) by 4.1/2 miles wide. Its east-central portion is occupied by a very salty lagoon, the outline of which changes with the tide. The map indicates the high and low water outline as observed by a Bishop Museum party in 1924. The land area is given by the guano company as 10,700 acres, with an additional 9,000 acres of lagoon. There is evidence that at some time in the past the sea broke through the east rim and flooded a much larger area of the central basin. This is indicated by the dotted line on the map. It is also claimed that the island has risen several feet with reference to sea level. This also would have accounted for a former larger lagoon. The enclosing ridge is nowhere more than 25 or 30 feet high. Most of the island cannot be seen at a distance of over 7 or 8 miles. There are numerous small, reddish fish in the lagoon which evidently pass through some underground channel to and from the sea. Malden was discovered July 30, 1825, by Captain Lord Byron, in H.M.S. Blonde. He had just taken to Hawaii the bodies of Kamehameha II and his wife, who had died in England. It was named for Charles Robert Malden, Lieutenant, R. N., who landed and made observations on shore. Andrew Bloxam, naturalist of the Blonde, also landed, and his diary, published in 1925 by Bishop Museum, gives more complete observations than the official narrative of the voyage. The island was called Independence by Brayton in 1836. The story is told that the extensive guano deposits were discovered by an American whaling master in 1828, but that he decided to finish his cruise before exploiting any of it. Soon after, another whaler came along and noted the layers of guano. Her captain immediately sailed for Sydney, where he sold his discovery for a considerable sum. Thus was started a series of guano enterprises, which worked the island, with considerable profit, for nearly seventy years. In 1876 there were 79 persons on the island. Just prior to 1889, Messrs. Grice, Drummer and Co., of Victoria, employed 8 Europeans and 150 Polynesians on Malden. Natives of Niue dug and transported the guano, and Cook Islanders from Aitutaki handled the boats. Water had to be distilled by means of condensers in dry years. Coconuts, planted by the guano diggers, grew for a few years and then died. Malden was claimed by Americans under the Guano Act of 1856, but by then the Australian firm already was established there. On January 1, 1922, Malden was leased to Malden Island Pty. Ltd. of Melbourne, for 21 years, but they did not stay out their lease, and the island has been abandoned during the past few years.

If you're a fan of Game of Thrones, you know that there will be blood and some of your favorite characters might not make it to the next episode of the HBO fantasy hit series. Sunday's episode, dubbed "Red Wedding" was a fascinating, cringeworthy episode that angered fans and saddened so many viewers that a Twitter handle @RedWeddingTears was created to comfort the afflicted.
The episode got me thinking that the beloved Starks could really benefit from communications counsel. Game of Thrones is, in a sense, about relations with the public, a rather unforgiving fractured world of stakeholders who are ready to fight for their leaders to gain market share and mindshare. The Starks are a relatively honorable family in this fictional world. Robb Stark, heir to Winterfell and the North, seeks counsel from his mother and wife as he attempts to form game-changing alliances.
I present to you a few PR tips stemming from Robb's ill-fated decision last episode that might be applicable to your next business decision. Hindsight is 20/20, but you might find these useful for your next potentially heated situation:
* Trust but verify: Your heart might be in the right place, but when doing a deal with a competitor, do a background check on who will be in attendance at the seminal meeting. Check out the meeting space. Had Robb Stark taken this advice, he might not have shown up for the Red Wedding.
* Your mother doesn't always give the best advice. A PR counselor would have told her client that his mom is a wonderful person but her advice might need to be tempered with reality. Robb should have gone with his gut or taken advice from a professional.
* Apologizing doesn't set you free. Just saying you're sorry doesn't lead to absolution. Sometimes people don't want to forgive. Know your audience and if you sense you might get stabbed in the back anyway, be prepared to defend yourself.
* Don't let them shut the doors on you. As viewers of the Red Wedding, we knew things were going to get bloody when the hosts closed the big doors and silence ensued. Always look for an "out" and make your way to the exits without causing a stir.
There's one more episode left of this season's Game of Thrones. Perhaps they'll introduce a communications expert who will introduce a new measurable strategy for the remaining Starks that will allow them to rule the kingdom. This is a fantasy, after all.

Hands up anyone who remembers the first Double Dragon on the Speccy then? Ah, good, quite a lot of you. Now, who gets a 'nice, warm, friendly glow' when they think about it? Hmm. Just as I thought. Not so many. Yes, it was a little bit of a disappointment (or at least, I thought it was).
Anyway, here's the sequel, and I'm pleased to be able to tell you it's loads better. Virgin has spared no effort in the ol' 'pad it out with a scenario' stakes so even those of you who missed the first game will know what it's all about. Thus we are informed that our heroes Billy and Jimmy killed all the members of the Black Warrior gang, then rescued their hostage, Marion. But, hold on a minute, that's not all! Yes, one girlie member of the Black Warriors (with the deceptively innocent name of Linda) survived, and vowed vengeance on the Double Dragon twins! Dan dan dan daaaah!!
Now, being the only surviving member of a gang that's now shuffled off its collective mortal coil, what would you do? Retire to Bridlington for a quiet life? See the light and hand out leaflets on your chosen cause in town centres? Blimey no!! You'd travel east, learn lots of magic tricks, suss out how to raise the dead (neat trick, that one) and get the Black Warriors back together again so they can all take a stab at bashing up Billy and Jimmy one more time. And that, in a rather large nutshell, is exactly what our Linda has done.
Now, being dead didn't do much for the cunning nature of the Black Warriors, 'cos the first thing they did when Linda brought them back to life was kidnap Marion back again. Predictable or what? But wait, there's more! They also killed her this time! Yikes! Fortunately though, Billy and Jimmy don't let this deter them, and set out once more to give the nasty Black Warriors a good whipping, hoping to 'rescue' (ie bring back to life) Marion before she gets too smelly.
Yup, it's horizontally scrolling beat-'em-up time, livened up by a brilliant two player option. Billy and Jimmy have got all the usual moves, kicking and punching, leaping and cartwheeling, singing and dancing - you name it, the lads do it. They make the London Boys look like they've got wooden feet! Their figures are well drawn and smoothly animated too, and look kind of cartoony with their slightly exaggerated proportions.
Virgin has wisely gone for a monochrome screen display, and, although it sometimes gets a little cluttered and difficult for you to establish what's going on (like when about four bad guys bundle in at once, for instance), for most of the time it works pretty well. Something which sets it apart from most beat-'em-ups is that boxes, rocks, and just about anything else that's lying around can be picked up along the way and thrown at the bad guys. What a brilliant lark! The bad news is that they tend to throw them back at you pretty ruddy sharpish (so I often adopted the reasonably effective 'chuck it and scarper' approach). But on the whole it's a brilliant addition to your standard beat-'em-up fare. There are also 'natural' hazards to be negotiated, such as holes, and a fair amount of leaping, diving and climbing is required if you want to avoid dying, which (let's face it) you probably will.
The sound is alright, the usual sort of kicky, punchy, spring-aroundy types of noises, with some good crunchy bashing sounds on the 128. My only worry is that we've seen too much of this sort of thing already, and (throwing option aside) it isn't different enough to distinguish itself from all the rest. I've already typed 'Dragon Ninja' in twice by mistake when writing this review, so you see the problem! It's perfectly fine for passing the time in an arcade, but I doubt it'll get anyone massively excited in its Speccy incarnation.

When he finished his OB-GYN residency in 1995, Dr. William "Bo" Reeves III immediately returned home and joined LowCountry Women's Specialists. "I grew up in Summerville, so a lot of the patients I see are friends and neighbors as well as new people in the community," says the former Summerville High School football standout. Dr. Reeves also serves as a defensive coordinator and board member for Pinewood Preparatory School and is actively engaged with the Summerville Exchange Club. Given his personal connections to local families, he wants his patients to be as comfortable as possible, so he has pursued training with the revolutionary daVinci system for hysterectomy and other surgeries, and he can do other minimally invasive procedures in the office, for example, treatments for heavy periods. "We offer a lot of in-office technology."

The county Department of Public Safety thanked those who put their lives on the line to keep the community safe Thursday evening at its 36thannual appreciation dinner.
"All of you play a role in assisting us in public safety," said John D. Yingling, director of the county department, on the work of the dozens of emergency responders.
"It certainly doesn't go unnoticed," said county Commissioner Jeff Wheeland, on the work those men and woman do.
First responders are important to keeping all residents safe in the county. At the dinner they heard first-hand how they're crucial to the safety of one company's employees.
"They're pivotal," said Tanner Clenney, of Duke Energy. "They're the first repsonders."
Duke Energy, which operates Laurel Hill Wind Energy in Jackson and McIntyre townships, has 30 wind turbines to produce energy.
Although they are hundreds of feet in the air while working on the wind turbines, Byron Jessee, of Duke Energy, explained that once employees are able to make it to the ground, it's up to the first responders to take over.
"Once we get on the ground, we definitely depend on you," Jessee said.
In order to make sure their employees are as safe as possible, Clenney explained a number of the company's safety measures.
The company has self-rescue kits, which allows employees on the turbines to get themselves to safety when it would be too dangerous for another employee to go out to them. They have safety harnesses for climbing up the ladder to the top of the turbine and when performing maintenance on them.
Employees also have mobile applications to allow them to learn the weather reports immediately, which Clenney said is especially important when dealing with lightning.
"Anything the National Weather Service may issue, we get that real time," he said.
But when there is an emergency, Clenney said the response time from the first responders is "outstanding."
The company also holds drills for first responders on site so they feel more comfortable there. Clenney explained that because of the structures and remoteness of the sites, it's not a situation many first responders are used to. He said to hold drills with field technicians and first responders is important to having a smooth operation.
"We don't want to make sure you guys don't come up to one of our sites and not know what to do," Clenney said.

Esteban De Jesus - A Tragic Story
Posted by Jim Amato
If ever a boxer was a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, it was Puerto Ricos Esteban De Jesus. This former one time claimant of the W.B.C. lightweight title may have been the best Puerto Rican 135 pounder since Carlos Ortiz. Unfortunately he boxed during the era of possibly the greatest of all lightweights, Roberto Duran. This occurred on November 17, 1972 at Madison Square Garden. Esteban floored Duran in the first round and then boxed his way to a decision win in a non-title bout. Then he twice whipped the respected Ray Lampkin in bouts for the American Lightweight title thus establishing himself as the top contender.
On his way to his first meeting with Duran, Esteban had lost just once and that was to W.B.A. featherweight champion Antonio Gomez in a non-title fight. He defeated Josque Marquez twice, Victor Ortiz, Lionel Hernandez, Percy Hayles, Angel Robinson, and Clevelands Chuck Wilburn. After his victory over Duran, Estsban defeated the classy Johnny Gant and former junior welterweight titleholder, Alfonso Frazier. These victories finally set up a title shot against Duran. On March 16, 1974 in Panama City, Esteban again decked Duran in the first round. this time though Roberto was in much better condition and he gradually wore down his formidable foe stopping Esteban in round eleven.
One year later De Jesus moved up in weight and challenged Antonio Cervantes for the junior welterweight championship. Once again Esteban faded down the stretch as he dropped a fifteen round decision. Again one year later De Jesus received yet another title opportunity. He was matched with W.B.C. lightweight champion Guts Suzuki. Showing his true class Esteban Dominated Suzuki to win an easy decision and the crown. De Jesus would defend his title successfully three times thus setting up the rubber match with Duran for the undisputed title.
Duran-De Jesus III was held in Las Vegas and this much anticipated Superfight would determine once and for all who was the worlds best lightweight. In possibly the best performance of his career Duran proved his superiority halting Estsban in round twelve. De Jesus would come back and put together another win streak that included a victory over Edwin Viruet. Once more De Jesus was granted a title shot. This time he would meet W.B.C. junior welterweight champion Saoul Mamby. The bout took place on July 7, 1980 and the signs of Estebans obviously eroding skills were there for all to see. Mamby finally halted an exhausted and outclassed De Jesus in round thirteen. The final chapter in this fine, but yet tragic career. Esteban would never gain full acceptance as lightweight champion although only the great Duran could master him. Estebans final ledger is as follows; 62 bouts, 57 victories, and only 5 defeats. He scored 32 knockouts and he was stopped 3 times. All of his setbacks were to world champions, Gomez, Duran twice, Cervantes, and Mamby.
The bad luck that dogged Estebans career was only an omen of things to come. Not long after his retirement Esteban was involved in a traffic dispute during which he shot and killed a seventeen year old youth. For this crime De Jesus was sentenced to life in prison. While in prison De Jesus was infected with AIDS. Bedridden and dying Esteban received a surprise visit from none other then his old adversary, Roberto Duran. In a moment of compassion completely out of character for the mean and macho Duran, he had come to pay his respects. He had come to show his admiration for his toughest foe. He also knew in his heart that Esteban was a true champion.

I am so impressed with the quality of this comforter and the warmth it provides. I intend to buy the coordinating curtains, crowns and rugs in the near future.
Love Love this. Just what I have been looking for over 3 years. Quality is great - better than I even imaged. Very hard to find bedding in black background and pink roses. Goes perfect with my wall paper. Received goods very quickly and in great shape. Would recommend this to anyone. Thanks
The black back ground make the flowers pop out to the eye.
Pretty print and nice fabric. Agree with others that the scallops are not as pronounced as they appear in the photo. Also would have liked it to be a little wider to cover sheet/blanket on sides so that you didn't have to tuck in every day. Perhaps a california queen should be considered?
Not only did I have to match product colors to existing room colors, but I also wanted to feel the quality of the bedspread material. Unlike most other companies, Touch of Class is customer-friendly in providing actual samples, so much better than just guessing if a match will be good based on a color photo alone.
Quality is excellent. Colors do not seem quite as vibrant in "real life". But I am very pleased with them and the comforter set for our newly renovated bedroom.
This is not only a beautiful comforter set, it is very substantial; in fact it will be wonderful in the winter. The whole set is lovely, however, the stitching is a little "off" on these pillows.
The colors are perfect. The quality seems good, though I haven't had it long. It is not quite as large as I expected in terms of overhand and the scallops are not as pronounced as I anticipated. But,, glad I decided to purchase it.

Album Review
With 1982's
The Blue Mask
Lou Reed
began approaching more mature and challenging themes in his music, and in 1992,
decided it was time to tackle the Most Serious Theme of All -- Death.
lost two close friends to cancer within the space of a year, and the experience informed
Magic and Loss
, a set of 14 songs about loss, illness, and mortality. It would have been easy for a project like this to sound morbid, but
avoids that; the emotions that dominate these songs are fear and helplessness in the face of a disease (and a fate) not fully understood, and
's songs struggle to balance these anxieties with bravery, humor, and an understanding of the notion that death is an inevitable part of life -- that you can't have the magic without the loss. It's obvious that
worked on this material with great care, and
Magic and Loss
contains some of his most intelligent and emotionally intense work as a lyricist. However,
hits many of the same themes over and over again, and while
and his accompanists -- guitarist
Mike Rathke
, bassist
Rob Wasserman
, and percussionist
Michael Blair
-- approach the music with skill and impeccable chops, many of these songs are a bit samey; the album's most memorable tunes are the ones that pull it out of its mid-tempo rut, like the grooving "What's Good" and the guitar workout "Gassed and Stoked."
Magic and Loss
is an intensely heartfelt piece of music, possessing a taste and subtlety one might never have expected from
, but its good taste almost works against it; it's a sincere bit of public mourning, but perhaps a more rousing wake might have been a more meaningful tribute to the departed.

Special teams carry Otters to 9th straight win
LONDON, Ontario -- The Erie Otters were special on special teams against the two-time defending OHL champion London Knights tonight.
The league's top power play scored three goals on five chances on the way to the Otters' 5-1 win -- their ninth straight victory -- in front of 9,046 fans at Budweiser Gardens.
The Western Conference-leading Otters (11-2-1-0) can match the franchise record of 10 consecutive wins with a win in Saturday's 7 p.m. game against Peterborough at Erie Insurance Arena, where they are a perfect 6-0 this season. The 1997-98 and 2001-02 clubs currently share the mark of 10 straight wins.
Michael Curtis scored two goals for the Otters, while Connor McDavid had two assists.

Canonsburg Lake is a 76-acre Commonwealth-owned impoundment located south of Pittsburgh in Peter's and North
Strabane townships, Washington County, Pennsylvania. The lake is very popular with outdoor recreation
enthusiasts in southwestern Pennsylvania.
A dam is located on Little Chartiers Creek. Water from
the lake flows over the spillway, then continues north for approximately ¼ mile where it meets the main branch
of Chartiers Creek. Chartiers Creek continues for approximately 25 miles until it meet the Ohio River
in McKees Rocks. Computer-aided hydraulic models indicate that failure of the dam would inundate
approximately 300 residents and 100 homes.
The Canonsburg Lake Dam is a reinforced
concrete gravity dam approximately 525 feet long and 45 feet high. Alcoa corporation completed construction
on the dam in 1943. The impoundment was to be used as an industrial water supply for Canonsburg
Forging Plant during World War II. A small structure built immediately below the dam to house the
pumps that was to transport water to the forging plant remains on site today. The piping in the pump
house is still intact, however, it is considered to be inoperable. Unlike most dams, Canonsburg
dam was built without any kind of drawdown control. The Commonwealth, acting through the Fish and
Boat Commission, acquired the lake, dam and adjacent property in 1958 for public fishing and boating.
In 1996 the PFBC contracted Schnabel Engineering Associates to assess the dam. The study
revealed the following:
Engineers recommends remedial measures include patching and sealing the exposed surfaces of the
non-overflow sections, installation of post tensioned rock anchors to strengthen the dam and
allow overtopping of the non-overflow section (safe passage of the SDF), foundation grouting
in association with the post tensioning (to be coordinated with the anchor drilling and installation),
and conversion of the existing 14 inch suction line to a low level outlet. The conceptual level
cost estimate for the project (including engineering and construction) is $1,040,000.
Like many aging impoundments, Canonsburg Lake is gradually filling with silt. At some
point in the life of any impoundment, dredging is required to maintain the pool at desirable
depths. The depths at the upper end of the lake have lowered to the point that, in some circumstances,
boating is difficult or impossible. The PFBC has been asked to estimate the costs of a project
to dredge silted material from Canonsburg Lake and move it to upland locations away from the
project. The PFBC has had the silted material tested and found that it does not contain contaminants
requiring special disposition.
project to dredge Canonsburg Lake would be costly and would face challenges related to the
configuration of the Lake. Preliminary estimates of the cost of a dredging project range from $2
million to $20 million depending on the amount of silt removed from the lake and the location to
which it is moved. For example, a concept to remove 3 feet of dredged material from the area upstream
of McDowell Lane is estimated to cost about $3 million.
The Fish and Boat
funds managed by the PFBC, including federal fund augmentations for these funds, do not contain money
to support either a dam rehabilitation or dredging project at Canonsburg Lake. Any such projects
would need an alternate funding source. The
Fish and Boat Commission will cooperate with local and state efforts to identify funds for, and undertake,
such projects. The PFBC is currently working with Washington County Watershed Alliance, Chartiers
Creek Watershed Association, and the Washington County Conservation District to secure funding. The
partnership has secured $250,000 from the Army Corp of Engineers for an Environmental Restoration
Study on the lake.

Severe Domestic Squalorby John Snowdon Graeme Halliday Sube Banerjee
Should you intervene in the life of the 48-year-old woman whose dwelling is stuffed with accumulated rubbish and who will not let anyone help get rid of it - or the 78-year-old surrounded by putrescent food and filth - or the 'animal accumulator'? Cases of severe domestic squalor (sometimes called Diogenes Syndrome) are among the most complex and difficult faced by community agencies. Local councils, housing officers, health professionals, social services, animal welfare agencies, public guardians and of course relatives and neighbours often feel powerless and lack confidence about what to do when faced with such situations. The guidelines, recommendations and case examples in Severe Domestic Squalor will help concerned people to understand what can be done and how, by providing an understanding of the causative factors and who should take the lead in dealing with them.

Three people were injured Friday afternoon when a driver mistakenly stepped on the gas and drove into them as they stood near a Goodwill Industries trailer in the parking lot of an Amherst supermarket.
Renee Hauser, 47, whose home address was not released by Amherst police, was thrown to the ground in the Tops Supermarket parking lot on Maple Road when David Celani, 69,of Tonawanda, mistakenly hit the gas pedal of his 2007 Chrysler and slammed head-on into Ms. Hauser's 2005 Dodge van about 2 p.m., according to police. Hauser was bringing donations to the trailer.
Frank Rovison, 82, who was Ms. Hauser's passenger, who was standing behind her van, also was thrown to the ground. Johnnie McCoy, 59, a Goodwill employe, was knocked off the platform of the trailer by the impact of the crash.
All three were taken to Erie County Medical Center by Twin City Ambulance. Hauser remained at the hospital Friday night while McCoy and Rovison were both treated and released. Celani was not injured.
The investigation continues and Amherst police are asking any witnesses to call with information at 689-1311.

The Academic Advisement Report (AAR), formerly termed Degree Audit Reports (DARS), describes your progress toward earning a degree or certificate at Great Basin College. It compares the requirement for a specific degree to the courses that you have already taken, or in which you are currently enrolled. If you submitted transcripts from other colleges, your transfer courses should appear on the DAR as well, once those transcripts have been evaluated and applied to your record.
GBC is implementing a new student information system. The new degree progress reports are still being created for current and former GBC students. Until this process is complete, there may be significant errors in the reports. Therefore, the DAR report is not the final word concerning your degree progress. The GBC Catalog will provide you with the most accurate list of requirements for the degree you seek. In any case, meeting with your adviser is the best way to avoid costly errors — for example, taking unnecessary classes or delaying a class that is essential to your further progress.

A 59-year-old United Cabs driver was shot Tuesday night near North Robertson Street and St. Bernard Avenue, according to preliminary police reports.
The shooting occurred shortly after 9 p.m., officer Garry Flot said.
The cab driver was shot once in his right shoulder and was in critical condition, EMS spokesman Jeb Tate said.
The driver of Cab 196 was dispatched shortly before 9 p.m. to the area, Assistant Superintendent Marlon Defillo said. Later, the cab driver seemed incoherent when he communicated with the dispatcher, he said.
Another cab driver -- who overheard the conversation over the radio -- went to the area where the 59-year-old driver was scheduled to pick up the fare, Defillo said. He found the injured driver in traffic "and in an unresponsive state," Defillo said.
A "citizen" also assisted the injured cab driver, Defillo said.
Police received reports of three people exiting the cab at some point.
Officers are scrambling to gather more information about what happened, Defillo said. Attempted robbery could be the motive for the shooting, but police don't have enough information to know for sure, he said.
Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to call Crimestoppers Inc. at 504.822.1111 or 877.903.7867. Callers do not have to give their names or testify and can earn up to $2,500 for tips that lead to an indictment.

Editor, The News:
I watched the inauguration activities and was surprised at the great crowd there in spite of the weather.
The enthusiastic reception that our new president received was heartwarming and certainly a breath of fresh air of our patriotism and support of the new administration.
It was such a welcome sign of some unity in our nation gathering together to watch the happy exchange of our past president and the present one to look forward to a brighter future -- that hope can only be realized if, as a country, we begin to get rid of our prejudices and selfishness.
The past blessings of wealth and peace are the result of our Christian heritage on which the foundation of our country and Constitution was built. It is not perfect but is better than most have. I pray that our president, who has taken his oath on a Bible, will permit those Christian principles to take hold of our nation.
Immorality has taken too much of a hold on these United States and needs to be dealt with from the family level up to our administration. It is something that we all are involved with, even if we passively let it grow.
Keep in touch with our legislative body to help them make the right decisions.

'Change' sickening
Editor, The News:
Barack Obama promised to return America to being the moral leader of the world. That is an admirable goal, but his actions work contrary to that goal.
One of the first bills he signed was to reverse the Mexico City Policy. Now we can spend $460 million to $1 billion of U.S. taxpayer money per year funding abortions on an international stage. Change I do not believe in! And strangely there was no public spectacle made of him signing this. Why not?
I am for educating the world regarding birth control and family planning, but how can anyone support this? I am not Catholic, but I was happy to see the Vatican quickly condemn Obama's action. Sadly these unborn babies would be treated better by the Obama administration if we called them suspected terrorists.
If this is restoring pride or rebuilding the world's perception of America, you can keep the "change." It sickens me.

Self- Jihad?!
The other day I was watching TV, and while I was switching channels searching for some good program, I stumbled upon one that literally dropped my jaw down!
It was a little innocent girl, about 5, wearing some finely beaded brassiere, and skirt, practicing belly dancing!!!
I did not care about how professional she was in dancing, but all I really loathed was her mother, who was so proud of her and smiling that made me nearly throw up in my mouth!
I kept asking myself in amazement how could a mother be so happy about turning her own little girl into a sex model?!
That is when I decided to write about how Islamic teachings, and me as a Muslim view obscenity Vs self-jihad. Before anyone jumps and says that dancing is a human art that people use to express their own ideas, and that Islam does not respect this, let me first explain to you what it is that Islam does not like.
I have written before in previous posts that Islam regards morality and modesty as top values that lead people to live more respectfully and humanly. Arts in the form of belly dancing or any dirty kind that depends only on shaking your body erotically is not called Arts my dears, it is physicality. What happen in nowadays' clips whether by Muslim or non-Muslim singers are something way below the grandeur of arts. When all we can see are bunch of naked horny girls and boys vibrating, pouting and looking to each other crudely, can we call this an art??
In fact, anyone who would see this, he would be turned on, and that is what Islam rejects. Islam advises Muslims to steer clear from anything that involves forbidden relations as it could lead singles and married ones to commit sins by getting into illegal or extra-marital affairs. In fact, even the "look" to someone who wears immodestly, whether by a man or a woman, in Islam is forbidden. Some of you may consider this so strict, but let us be frank, here. Sometimes it is the mere look that triggers so many horrendous deeds afterwards. The look can beget staring and staring can beget addiction and addiction can beget sinning; it is like the snowball effect! Of course not everyone will respond the same, but at least some people are weak enough who will react as such.
Let me explain further. If a married couple, keep their eyes away from illegal sights such as horny clips, and obscene films, would they ever get divorced? Would they ever wake up one morning finding each other looking ugly? Of course not! We all know that people in real life, at homes, do not look as shiny and super neat as they appear on TV. So, if they follow Islamic teachings, they would never picture anyone except each other, hence, love grows more and infidelity would never be there between them. Plus, Islamic teachings call for covering either for women (body and hair cover) or for men (at least the area starting from belly button to knees). So, imagine if people get covered and lowered their gazes, what would happen? People will stop treating each other according to their appearances, but according to their minds and thoughts! It is the thought and not the body that matters!!
Unfortunately, one of the main reasons behind the backwardness of many nations in history is obscenity; a very famous one was the Italian city, Pompeii which was totally indulged in physical sins until a huge volcano buried its people alive. They did not even pay attention to the early warnings as they were completely busy and blind-minded. Another incident in the Islamic history was the fall of Granada, in Spain which was ruled by Muslims. Only when Muslims went astray and dig in drinking and obscenity that they began to lose their power, after they were the toughest nation on Earth! Finally, to keep yourself from illegal looks, from drinking, from committing sins is what Islam calls Self-Jihad (self-control)…it is as if Islam is telling us that better safe than sorry! To be continued…

I had breakfast on my trip at a restaurant. Nice omelet, cooked in butter. The "lighter side" menu item was granola, fruit and yogurt with a giant muffin. Fat free. Plenty of sugar though.
Instead of keeping my carbs from 50-100 for "weight-loss" i am now between 100-150 a day. I'm still perfecting the right balance of protein and fat to help with cravings.
today for example... I want that delicious Spicy Cashew Chicken over Rice from the cheesecake factory. I don't even want the cheesecake..

10 years ago (preprimal), I lived in america. And yes, the only 'healthy' eating option I could find was subway. I probably ate there 4 times a week.
Disclaimer: I eat 'meat and vegetables' ala Primal, although I don't agree with the carb curve. I like Perfect Health Diet and WAPF Lactofermentation a lot.

Well, my funny moment is the way I talk back to commercials.
Have any of you seen that awful commercial where the animals are talking about how they always have energy and are always, ahem, doing it? And the deer says "Maybe humans would be more human if they ate naturally!" And it shows a woman eating bran flakes or something. I was like, "What is natural about eating that crap? This be bullshite!" And my mom was like, "The TV can't hear you. I agree though." Ah, good times...
Yes, go and eat the contents of all the packets growing on the trees!
Here's my absolute classic for the day:
BBC News - Deep-fried Mars bars disowned by chocolate firm
The world would be a much less funny place if anyone at all at Mars had a sense of irony.
I sort of regret never trying a deep fried mars bar, plenty of places do them here.
Do what you love and do it often. If you don't like something, change it. if you don't like your job, quit. If you don't have enough time, stop watching tv. If you are looking for the love of your life, stop, they will be waiting for you when you start doing the things you love. Stop over analyzing, life is simple. When you eat, appreciate every last bite. Some opportunities only come once, seize them.
My vegan friend told me that I get mosquito bites because I eat animal products. She continued to say how because she is vegan that she doesn't get mosquito bites anymore.
However, she gets sunburned extremely easily, gets B vitamin shots regularly, and has rosacea on her face.

Weight does NOT equal health -- ditch the scale, don't be a slave to it!
This year's deep fried "goodness" at the Texas state fair: deep fried jambalaya and deep fried bacon cinnamon roll.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, steak in one hand, chocolate in the other, yelling "Holy F***, What a Ride!"
My Latest Journal
I got on this e-mail list with "parenting" ideas (many of which make me *facepalm*) just because I wanted to win a contest for a super-cool stainless steel lunch container... I can't seem to unsub (despite numerous attempts, some code is broken or something), today's headline:
5 kid-approved cupcakeries!
*facepalm* I don't even know where to start with this one... I'll go with... I didn't realize cupcakeries got DISapproval from most kids (except, of course, the kids that don't really eat sweets). Usually the phrase "kid-tested" is applied to supposed health food (you know, Kix cereal, Ironkids bread [oops, I'm showing my age with that one], etc.)... right? *facewall*
