Although there are still no Wayland results on the Allegan County election website, Miller has acknowledged that this is probably the case.
"Unofficially, I lost," he told supporters on the Dan Miller 4 Mayor Facebook page this morning.
A notice posted on the door of the Wayland City Hall gives the following unofficial totals: Tim Bala, 852 votes; Dan Miller, 583.
The notice also includes the number of votes for the City Council candidates. Four candidates were running for three open seats. The results were: Jeff Hudson, 789; Tracy Bivins, 788; Tim Rose, 696, and Ron Kobish, 588.
Judy Miller, the accounting clerk for the city, said she learned of the results when she came in to work at 8 o'clock this morning. The city clerk, Michelle Herman, had left a notice of the results inside the building.
Judy Miller said the staff put the notice on the front door "so people could see." Staff members answered numerous telephone calls from Wayland residents who wanted to know the outcome.
Mayor Tim Bala could not be reached this morning for a comment about his unofficial victory.

I bought this dress to wear to a luau, and it worked for that purpose. The top was slightly large for me, and I was able to adjust it by tying the halter as tight as I could and pinning it closed.

I love it. It's pretty, It's comfortable and keeps you cool at all times. The colors are bright and it comes just as it is shown in the picture. The only thing i didn't like is, In the chest area one side was just a little bigger than the other or something isn't right where if i don't tie it really tight it will shift and show a lot of one side of my breast.

I have several halter style dresses like this and for some reason this is the only one that isn't slenderizing. Pretty fabric design but the cut is off and isn't as flattering as other similar dresses I have.

Parents and community members are encouraged to apply for openings on boards of directors at Kihei Public Charter School.
The state's 32 charter campuses, which recently passed the 10,000 enrollment mark, all have independent governing boards responsible for their school's academic, financial and organizational viability. Board members also ensure compliance with state and federal laws.
"Guided by strong government boards, charters can lead the way for public education reform because they have more flexibility to do what's best for students," said Lynn Finnegan, executive director of the Hawaii Public Charter School Network.
She added, "Charters empower principals and teachers, focus on academic and cultural specialties and meet the needs and strengths of individual students and communities. Consequently, our charters are making notable progress in student achievement despite the lack of funding for facilities."
Those interested in serving on a charter school governing board may submit their resume to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Now is not the time to air 'dirty laundry'
I am appalled with the Oct. 28 News article posted only a few short weeks after Father Joe Moreno's death. I feel that the good works he did in his lifetime should be emphasized while his family, friends and parishioners are still mourning his passing. I think that airing his personal problems or "dirty laundry" should be avoided at this time for the people who care deeply for him. I understand that people are trying to make sense of this tragedy and why it happened, but I feel this could have been done at a later time to spare the feelings of those in mourning, particularly his family.
I applaud the diocese's statement: "It is unfortunate that these matters are now being raised when Father Moreno cannot speak for himself and when his family and friends are still grieving his unexpected, tragic passing." The priests, in particular those who spoke under anonymity, should have declined to comment in respect to those who mourn.
I hope that people will continue to remember Father Joe's good works and refrain from dwelling on any of his personal problems or shortcomings, which all people, priest or not, may experience.

As a church, we believe that God is calling us not only to worship together on Sunday, but to be the church in our community every day of the week. The way that God is corporately calling our church body to fulfill that is through the vision of We Love St. Charles. We have found that there are great needs right here in St. Charles and have committed to serve low-income families and individuals within 63303, 63304, and 63376. Rather than providing a hand-out or trying to convince them to come to our church, we as the church must go to them with unconditional love and the good news of the gospel. We Love St. Charles will consistently send out our members to walk alongside the needy families in our area. While this will include some initiatives and projects, this will be an ongoing effort that focuses on long-term restoration. These continual efforts will be facilitated through our Life Groups and Bible Studies.
We truly feel that our Coats for Kids initiative will give us a database and a connecting point for building new relationships with needy families in St. Charles County. As we receive requests for coats and future needs, we will pass those on to our Life Group and Bible Study leaders. Then, these small groups will take ownership of the family and start to develop a relationship through meeting their needs and sharing the gospel with them. This approach is decentralized and will require all of our small groups to be committed to the ongoing work that will help families meet long-term goals and introduce them to Jesus.
Unlike many of the one-day service projects we have done in the past, we as a church are not going to be able to plan everything out for each small group. As we see in Scripture, there is no specific formula for missional living. We are encouraging each small group to get creative in their approach as they love and serve their neighbors. Your group may be able to rake some leaves for an elderly woman and then share a meal with her afterwards. Maybe your group will be able to provide groceries and help a single mother find a job to provide for her children. These acts of love reflect Christ in deed and then we have the opportunity to share the good news of Jesus Christ. Sometimes your effort will serve multiple families such as a community barbecue with activities for the kids. However God uses your small group, we want you to take your families with you and use your own resources to meet the needs of others.
When we look at Christ and his disciples, we see humble servants that placed others' needs before their own. This is the attitude that we want to carry with us into the communities of St. Charles. Before we get involved with this effort, we must also look at our motives. We are not doing this to feel good about ourselves or because we have pity on those in need. The Bible says that Christ's love compels us to live out the gospel as his ambassadors. We are doing this because God is a sending God and he has sent us in the power of his Holy Spirit to be Jesus in our communities. It is a privilege to imitate our Savior by living out the gospel in the city that God has placed us in. In doing so, the gospel will be proclaimed in St. Charles, people will be drawn to God, and his Kingdom will be expanded. As we move forward, we see that Missional Living is part of the DNA of this church. I hope that each of you will get involved with We Love St. Charles as we take the gospel to our community together.

Solar Industry Offers High-Quality, Green Collar Jobs
The solar industry is growing fast and provided soon-to-expire rebates are extended, will grow even faster in the foreseeable future. And this rapid advance, naturally, precipitates rapid job growth. In the United States alone, for 2006, over 500,000 people worked directly or indirectly for the solar industry. On a global scale, the number grows to well over 2 million. And it keeps growing.
Aside from helping to solve our current energy crisis, the solar energy industry is a bright spot in our otherwise slow-moving economy. Green collar jobs, or blue collar jobs in the green sector, are blooming everywhere, and solar is playing its part well. Speaking before the House of Representatives, Jamie Resor, CFO of groSolar, used his own company as an example of the industry's speedy ascent. "In less than two years we have grown from approximately 25 employees to 100 employees." These jobs include everyone from engineers to construction workers.
Resor also pointed out that many of these new recruits are drawn from across industry lines. Indeed, solar is expected to create nearly 40,000 new jobs and over $8 billion in investment dollars in 2009 alone. This is especially important in lieu of the ever-decreasing job opportunities in the fossil fuel industries. In addition, green collar jobs are typically high-quality jobs that pay well and would be a boon to a struggling middle class.
Given the extension of renewable energy tax credits, green collar job growth can be expected to flourish. Under current incentives, the green industry as a whole generated 8.5 million new jobs and $970 billion in revenue in 2006.

Sitting and Sulking
by: Rev. David Bast
Jonah's prayer continues in verse 3, as he asks for death. It's a parody of the famous scene from Elijah's life where, having fled from wicked Queen Jezebel's rage, he prays that God will let him die in the wilderness. But where Elijah was depressed because he believed he had failed in his ministry, Jonah was depressed because he had succeeded. Elijah wanted to die because it seemed to him that God's cause was finished. Jonah wanted to die because God's grace had triumphed.
Bit by bit, we are being given an unmistakable picture of the absurdity of Jonah's behavior. From beginning to end there is no justification for anything Jonah has done. Slowly the natural prejudices of the audience against the pagan Ninevites and for the prophet Jonah are being completely reversed. You find yourself approving of the conduct of the people of Nineveh and of God's treatment of them, and condemning Jonah.
When we look at Jonah, we can only wonder how any "man of God" could be so mean-spirited, narrow-minded, and hardhearted. How is it possible that someone who has received from God an undeserved gift of life should become so upset when others are given the same thing?
Could it be that when God looks at me he does not see me as the basically kind, generous, and noble person I imagine myself to be, but rather that he sees me the way I see Jonah?

Why is beating Kessler such a HUGE deal?
Ok, now I will admit my opinion is a bit bias because I'm a big Andre ward fan but I don't think a close UD over Kessler makes Froch a world beater and definitely doesn't make him any more capable of beating Ward. If any1 really has paid attention to wards last 2 fights he's really come into his power @168. Froch and his fans better be careful what they wish for, speed kills...

Kessler was the #2 contender and already beat Froch, who was the #1 contender at the time. Froch was a world beater before he ever beat Kessler.

It means a lot for Froch as a man and as a fighter. He avenged one of his 2 defeats. This doesn't mean anything concerning a fight with Ward, however. Froch has beaten everybody that matters at 168 except Ward. I think that's a big deal. If he fights Ward, he gets beat up again. But I think he has earned the rematch. Honestly, most other fighters would avoid a rematch with Ward if the odds were stacked against them but Froch seems eager to get another shot.

That´s funny because when Ward beat him I remember Froch being all butthurt saying he would never rematch Ward due to his ugly style or something like that.

Krylov subspace
In linear algebra, the order-r Krylov subspace generated by an n-by-n matrix A and a vector b of dimension n is the linear subspace spanned by the images of b under the first r powers of A (starting from ), that is,
The concept is named after Russian applied mathematician and naval engineer Alexei Krylov, who published a paper about it in 1931. The basis for the Krylov subspace is derived from the Cayley–Hamilton theorem which implies that the inverse of a matrix can be found in terms of a linear combination of its powers.[1][2]
Modern iterative methods for finding one (or a few) eigenvalues of large sparse matrices or solving large systems of linear equations avoid matrix-matrix operations, but rather multiply vectors by the matrix and work with the resulting vectors. Starting with a vector, b, one computes , then one multiplies that vector by to find and so on. All algorithms that work this way are referred to as Krylov subspace methods; they are among the most successful methods currently available in numerical linear algebra.
Because the vectors usually soon become almost linearly dependent due to the properties of power iteration, methods relying on Krylov subspace frequently involve some orthogonalization scheme, such as Lanczos iteration for Hermitian matrices or Arnoldi iteration for more general matrices.
Existing methods[edit]
The best known Krylov subspace methods are the Arnoldi, Lanczos, Conjugate gradient, IDR(s) (Induced dimension reduction), GMRES (generalized minimum residual), BiCGSTAB (biconjugate gradient stabilized), QMR (quasi minimal residual), TFQMR (transpose-free QMR), and MINRES (minimal residual) methods.

A handful of students from Northampton Community College, traveled thousands of miles over the summer to a remote village in Peru, to install a wind turbine.
8 students and 2 faculty members from Northampton Community College decided to take a different summer trip of sorts to the foot of the Pastoruri glacier, thousands of miles away in Peru.
Associate Professor of Communications, Christine Armstrong says she took a similar trip the year before through an organization called WindAid.
This year, she decided to take some students.
"This time, it was a totally different experience and even more rewarding because I got to see the change in students and in their lives" said Armstrong.
The project had an even bigger impact, earning a place in the Guinness book of world records.
"It was installed at 4,482 meters or 16,017 feet which is the highest altitude of any wind turbine in the world" said Armstrong.
Armstrong adds the altitude did make it hard for some of the students to acclimatize.
"You can't work at the same pace at that altitude, you can't work straight through at that altitude. So they had to rely on each other a whole lot more than they normally would" she said.
The trip was such a success, Armstrong plans on taking a group every summer traveling to the most remote places building and installing wind turbines.
"I can definitely say that so far in my life, doing this project was the hardest thing I've ever done and I was closest to the sickest I've ever been in my entire life and I would still do it again" said sophomore Ashlyn Summers.

It can certainly run Windows NT (it was designed for this after all) and
I've run various flavors of Linux on my XL-366. Indeed, I plan to install
AlphaCore on it shortly to see if it works.
As the XL series does not have SRM, VMS and Tru64 are out of contention.
I guess some flavors of BSD will also run, but I've never tried it personally.

SummerSlam (2001) was the fourteenth annual SummerSlam professional wrestling pay-per-view event produced by the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and for the third time it was presented by Chef Boyardee. It took place on August 19, 2001, at the Compaq Center at San Jose in San Jose, California.
In the main event, The Rock defeated Booker T for the WCW Championship, after executing a Rock Bottom.[1][2] The other two main matches on the card were Steve Austin versus Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship, which Angle won, after Austin was disqualified for attacking referees, and Rob Van Dam defeated Jeff Hardy in a ladder match for the WWF Hardcore Championship.[1][2] This became the final Summerslam event to be produced under the WWF banner.
The other main match on the undercard in this event was included the Steel cage match between WCW Tag Team Champions Undertaker and Kane and WWF Tag Team Champions Diamond Dallas Page and Kanyon, which Undertaker and Kane won, after Undertaker executed the Last Ride and pinned Page.[3]
The main rivalry heading into SummerSlam was between The Rock and Booker T, battling over the WCW Championship. After losing the WWF Championship to Steve Austin at WrestleMania X-Seven, The Rock took a hiatus from professional wrestling to film the movie, The Scorpion King.[4] On the edition of July 9, 2001 of Raw Is War, campaigning for The Rock's return began.[5][6] Following the campaigning, The Rock returned to the WWF on the edition of July 30, 2001 of Raw Is War, where he chose to align himself with the WWF instead of The Alliance for The Invasion.[7][8] This action was shown by The Rock delivering a Rock Bottom and the people's elbow onto Shane McMahon, The Alliance leader.[6][8] Later that week on SmackDown!, Booker T and The Rock cut a promo, where Booker T challenged The Rock to a match at SummerSlam; the beginning of the The Rock-Booker T rivalry.[9][10] Seeking revenge for the attack on the edition of July 30, 2001 of Raw is War, McMahon fought The Rock in a Street Fight on the edition of August 6 of Raw is War, where The Rock pinned McMahon. The rivalry between The Rock and Booker T intensified after the match, where Booker T and Shane McMahon double-teamed The Rock.[11][12] Later that week on SmackDown!, in retaliation, The Rock accepted Booker T's challenge.[13][14] On the edition of August 13 of Raw is War, The Rock was involved in a tag team match, where he teamed with Chris Jericho in a loss to Booker T and Rhyno.[15][16] After the match, Booker T delivered his variation of the Rock Bottom on The Rock, a move dubbed, The Book End.[15][16] On the final edition of SmackDown! before SummerSlam, McMahon announced that Booker T would defend the WCW Championship at SummerSlam against The Rock.[17][18] Later that night, the rivalry continued to intensify during a Lights Out match between Booker T and The Rock, after Booker T delivered a Book End onto The Rock through a commentators announce table.[17][18]
The other main match on the card was Steve Austin versus Kurt Angle for the WWF Championship. The previous month at Invasion, Team WCW/ECW (Booker T, Diamond Dallas Page, Rhyno and Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley) defeated Team WWF (Steve Austin, Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, The Undertaker and Kane). Team WCW/ECW won after Austin turned on the WWF when he executed a Stunner on Angle. On the following night's edition of Raw Is War, Austin stated that he did this because he felt that Vince McMahon was grooming Angle to take over his spot, and that he was "unappreciated" when McMahon insisted he return to the old Austin. Later that evening, Austin interfered during six man Elimination Tables match by assaulting Angle. Then on the edition of July 26, 2001 of SmackDown!, Angle appeared at his hometown of Pittsburgh and challenged Steve Austin for the WWF title but Austin, instead, chose Booker T to defend his WCW Championship against Angle. Later on that night, Angle won the WCW title from Booker T despite of Austin's interference. On the edition of July 30, 2001 of Raw Is War, Angle dropped the championship back to Booker T with the help of Steve Austin and Shane McMahon. Afterwards, Angle challenged Austin for the WWF Championship at SummerSlam, which Austin accepted. This would be the 2nd time that the two would meet one-on-one for the WWF title with the first being January 8 on Raw Is War. The feud between Austin and Angle would escalate in the following couple of weeks leading up to SummerSlam esp. in a Six Man Tag Team Elimination match pitting Austin and the Dudley Boyz against Angle and Matt and Jeff Hardy, which Austin's team won.
Another main match heading into the event was Jeff Hardy versus Rob Van Dam in a Ladder match for the WWF Hardcore Championship. At Invasion Van Dam defeated Hardy to win the WWF Hardcore Championship. In the following weeks, after Van Dam and Hardy faced each other in Tag Team matches, on the edition of August 13, 2001 of RAW, Van Dam was scheduled to defend his title against Kurt Angle, and as long the match was underway Jeff Hardy interfered and pinned Van Dam to win the title for himself. This led to a Ladder match for the title at SummerSlam between Hardy and Van Dam.
Before the event aired live on pay-per-view, a match for Sunday Night Heat aired on MTV. The match was originally slated to be a handicap match featuring Lita, and Jacqueline (representing the WWF) versus Torrie Wilson, Stacy Keibler, and Ivory (representing The Alliance). Backstage, before this match, Wilson, Ivory and Keibler attacked Lita, weakening her. Matt Hardy checked on her and advised her not to compete in the match, but she insisted that she was fine. Jacqueline was alone in the beginning of the match, until Molly Holly (from the WWF) ran to the ring, and became a part of the match, teaming with Jacqueline. Lita eventually came down to the ring and performed the Twist of Fate on Ivory, allowing Jacqueline to pin her for the win.[3]
The first match to air was for the WWF Intercontinental Championship, with reigning champion Lance Storm facing off against Edge. Before the match started, Christian and other WWF stars were shown backstage watching the match. The start of the match saw Edge nail Storm with a clothesline and a cross-body splash from the top rope. Storm regained momentum and began the attack on Edge, knocking him off of his feet. When Edge got up, he hit a powerslam onto Storm. Storm made his way to his feet and trapped Edge in a single-leg Boston Crab, which Edge broke by grabbing the top rope. As Edge got up, Christian ran down to the ring. Christian tried to spear Storm, but missed and hit Edge instead. Edge hit a DDT onto Storm and covered him to get the pin, and win the championship.
The next match was The Dudley Boyz (Bubba Ray and D-Von) and Test versus The APA (Faarooq and Bradshaw) and Spike Dudley (with Molly Holly). As the match began, Spike immediately tried to attack Bubba Ray and D-Von, although Bubba Ray quickly threw Spike down. Test took over and attacked Spike while Bubba Ray and D-Von took out a table. Test picked up Spike and prepared to throw him into the table. Before he could, Spike poked his eyes, which caused Test to drop Spike. Test recovered and threw Spike into the table. Shane McMahon then ran down to the ring, and nailed Bradshaw with a steel chair, allowing Test to get the pin and win the match.
The next match was a Title unification match for the WCW Cruiserweight Championship and the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship between X-Pac and Tajiri. Nearing the end of the contest, Tajiri had the upper hand but was distracted by Albert's interference and was forced to respond with a red mist. X-Pac took the opportunity and hit Tajiri with the X-Factor to win the match.
Following the match was between Chris Jericho from the WWF and Rhyno from the Alliance, who was accompanied by Stephanie McMahon. The competition went on right after Jericho delivered a diving elbow on Rhyno and tried locking him into the Walls of Jericho. As Jericho was about to give a flying body, Rhyno hit him with the Gore in mid-air. As the match went on, Rhyno decided to somehow catch the attention of referee Tim White, only to have Jericho slapped in the face by Stephanie McMahon Helmsley. Rhyno then locked him into a Body Scissors Submission, but Jericho got out of it. Rhyno then took Jericho in a Spin and a DDT. Jericho got out of Rhyno's Submission maneuvers. Both men knocked each other down after both hit clotheslines on each other. After a dropkick, when Jericho tried pinning, Stephanie interfered, preventing Tim to count. Then Jericho kissed Stephanie. He then he hit a bulldog and missed a lionsault on Rhyno, who after recovering used the Walls of Jericho on Jericho himself. Following an Enzuigiri by Jericho and a Belly-to-Belly suplex by Rhyno, he set himself up for the Gore, but he hit the turnbuckle which triggered the Walls of Jericho by Jericho. Rhyno tapped out, thus, Jericho scoring for Team WWF. Stephanie headed into the locker room, upset.
The next match was a hardcore ladder match for the WWF Hardcore Championship between Jeff Hardy and The Alliance's Rob Van Dam. Starting off as a back and forth match-up, Jeff started gaining momentum by driving Van Dam out of the ring and performing a Springboard moonsault over him. The action spilled outside as RVD kept Hardy down and went to use the ladder, but was stopped by Hardy who hit the dropkick on the ladder, hitting RVD in the process. Van Dam utilized the ladder in hitting Hardy on the face. Hardy used the same effort, hitting RVD's midsection in the process. Both Hardy and Van Dam kept using the ladder to keep each other down, including RVD's Rolling Thunder on Jeff, who was placed on the ladder. Jeff first gained the opportunity to climb the ladder and gain the Hardcore title back into the WWF but was stopped as RVD hit him with the flying kick from the turnbuckle. Then again RVD tried to get the title but was stopped by Hardy's Dropkick. Jeff then tried hitting Van Dam with the Swanton, but RVD moved away and tried hitting Jeff with the Five-Star Frog splash, but Jeff moved away, vice versa. Now, with both men barely able to stand, Hardy and Van Dam both climbed the ladder, with RVD using a suplex on Jeff from the top of the ladder. Jeff, in the same way as RVD, hit Van Dam with a power bomb from the top of the ladder. The match got intense as Jeff climbed the ladder, touched the title but RVD moved away the ladder, Jeff kept on hanging in the process. RVD tried to use some tricks, such as a kick from the top turnbuckle, but missed. Jeff wasn't able to hold on much longer, so he let go of himself, sighing as he went down. Jeff once again tried to climb up the ladder, but as he went on the top, RVD pushed the ladder and Jeff hit his neck and shoulder on the ropes. With Hardy barely able to stand, RVD climbed up top and caught hold of the Hardcore Title, winning in the process.
The upcoming match was for both the WCW and WWF Tag Team titles between The Brothers of Destruction, Undertaker & Kane with Taker's Wife, Sara against The Alliance's Diamond Dallas Page & Chris Kanyon. The promo showed that DDP has been messing with Undertaker's personal life and his wife, Sara since the Invasion started. He even built a SHRINE in honor of Sara, stating he just wanted to be famous and now he wants "his" Sara. Undertaker trashing the shrine and being attacked by Kanyon and DDP, with Kane coming to the Rescue, also showing William Regal, congratulating them on winning the WWF Tag Team Titles and that they have to defend them on Summerslam against the B.O.D. in a steel cage match.The match started up as Sara sealed the Cage with a padlock. DDP and Kanyon tried escaping the cage as the bell rang but thanks to Kane and Taker's size, they were brought back in the ring. Taker hit DDP with a big boot, while Kane was choking Kanyon . Taker kept hitting DDP with a series of punches and elbows and Kane kept using the steel cage's walls as a weapon. Kane hit the chokeslam on Kanyon. Taker was about to chokeslam DDP but he hit the Low Blow on him. Kane hit Kanyon with a powerbomb right on the corner of the cage, while Taker used his body on DDP who hit the cage wall. Kanyon after hitting Taker with a flying clothesline, Kane tried to prevent him from escaping, but hit a DDT on him. Both DDP and Kanyon tried escaping, but Taker and Kane both did their iconic Sit Up. Kane kept hitting Kanyon's face on the cage wall, while Undertaker drove DDP's midsection right on the ropes. Undertaker told Kane to let Kanyon go. All that was left was The Undertaker, Kane and DDP, who got one heck of a beating from the brothers of destruction. From Clotheslines to bodyslams. Taker prevented the 3 count as he was ready to punish DDP more, as Kane and Sara looked over Undertaker hammering and kicking DDP . Sara passed the Steel Chain to Taker and he used it as a weapon on DDP. Undertaker was about to hit DDP with the chokeslam but Taker gave him a chance to get out of their sights, without looking onto Sara, saying he would forgive him. But as DDP almost made it to the top, he was stopped by Taker, who completed the chokeslam which he was about to give. Kane helped Taker get DDP onto the Last Ride,which Taker said he is dedicating it to Sara. Taker pinned DDP and won the match, making Kane and Taker a double Tag Champion, gaining a win for the Team WWF.
The next match was the first Main Event of the evening. WWF Champion Stone Cold Steve Austin who was a part of the Alliance went one on one with WWF's Kurt Angle. The promo showed how the rivalry started, since Invasion, the RAW after that and following the events between Austin, Alliance, Angle and WWF. The match started off as Angle started attacking Austin before he even entered the ring. The action, obviously, spilled outside as both Austin and Angle exchanging punches and kicks along with hitting each other on barricades. As they came back into the ring, Angle tackled Austin and started jabbing him. Austin however retaliated with chops and jabs of his own, and Vice Versa. Austin and Angle exchanged blows as Angle gained the upper hand to pin Stone Cold, but Austin kicked out. Austin started hurting Kurt's left leg, specially the ankle. But Angle countered in an unsuccessful Ankle lock. Austin moved out of the ring, only to hit Angle with a clothesline. As Angle was about to get a third suplex by Austin, he countered with 3 German Suplexes, with Austin hitting Angle with his elbows, Angle followed with 2 more. As Austin caught hold of the ropes, Angle hit him on the back and hit him with even 2 more German Suplexes. As Angle was about to hit Austin with the Angle Slam, Austin countered and dropkicked him, by which Angle hit the turnbuckle. Austin then set Angle up on the top turnbuckle,but shoved him down as he was about to hit Angle with a suplex. Austin tried again and successfully hit Angle with a Suplex. With both men down and Austin trying to get up, he hit angle with the Stunner. But Angle kicked outta 2, due to which Austin started talking trash to the ref, and yet again, Angle was stunned by Austin, this time, the force threw Angle outside. Austin then hit Angle's head on the turnbuckle, only to make it prone to bleeding. A second hit on the turnbuckle made his head busted open. Austin tried using the WWF title as a weapon but Ref Earl Hebner prevented him from doing so. Austin kept hitting Angle on the head, using the turnbuckle as a weapon as well as jabbing him on the forehead. Austin then tried pinning Angle in the ring but Angle kicked out again. Therefore, Austin, again, threw Angle out of the ring only to hit Kurt's head on the Ring Post and the Announcer Table. Austin was about to powerslam Angle on the Table but Angle countered. The action widely spilled outside this time as Austin suplexed Angle past the barricade, towards the crowd. As Austin was about to get out of the barricade, Angle applied the Ankle Lock on Austin. Paul Heyman stating that was illegal, hence widely supporting Austin. Angle brought Austin in the Ring and applied the Ankle lock on Austin, but Stone Cold caught the ropes. Angle hit a belly-to-belly suplex on the floor to Austin. Angle kept on retaliating Austin's moves. As Angle brought Austin in the ring, Angle hit him with a moonsault, which was unsuccessful in gaining a 3-count. Austin countered the Angle slam and applied the Cobra Clutch Submission. Angle, still in the submission, attempted to pin Austin, but he kicked out, still keeping the submission on Angle. Angle, then wisely threw Austin off the ring. Austin then hit Angle with a stunner, but Angle again kicked out, that made 3 Stunners which Angle kicked out from. Angle then hit Austin with the Angle Slam as Austin slapped him and was about to hit a 4th Stunner. Austin kicked out of the Angle Slam. Austin, frustrated, hit Earl Hebner on the face. Angle then hit Austin with the DDT, another WWF Referee, Mike Chioda came and counted an unsuccessful 3-count . Austin hit a stunner on Chioda. Then Austin hit Referee Tim White with the WWF Title. Nick Patrick, an Alliance Ref, decided to DQ Steve Austin and make Angle the winner. However Austin was still the WWF Champion as the Title can NOT change hands on a DQ or Countout. Angle, frustrated, put Patrick on the Ankle Lock. Overall, Kurt Angle was screwed.
The Final Main Event of the evening was between The Rock and Booker T for the WCW Championship. The promo showed the events happening following the night of his return. As the bell rang, The Rock started jabbing Booker T and chased Shane McMahon. With the Irish whip, Booker hit Shane and Rock hit the Samoan drop and pinned him for a 2 count. Booker retaliated with a Knee to the abdomen. The Rock and Booker T exchanged blows to each other from the Turnbuckle and Irish Whips. Booker used a Super Kick on the Rock's face. The Rock drove Booker out of the ring and hit his head on the Announcer table multiple times including a low blow. Booker built momentum by hitting Rock on the Steel Steps and putting him through the barricade. The action spilled outside towards the crowd as Booker gained the upper hand by clotheslining Rock and putting him through another barricade. Booker then attempted to put the Announcer table apart, Rock tried building momentum but Booker reversed with an Irish whip which hit Rock on the same Ring Post where Kurt Angle shed blood on. Booker kept hitting Rock with jabs and kicks. As much as Rock tried building momentum, Booker reversed the moves. The Rock then locked Booker in the Sharpshooter after reversing Booker's Headlock. Shane tried interfering but Rock brought him in the ring, only to get a kick from Booker. Shane put a Chair on the corner of the Ring. As Booker was about to get it, Referee Charles Robinson tried preventing him, at the same time, Shane hit Rock with the WCW Title. Then the APA (Bradshaw and Farooq) Chased Shane McMahon, who received a deadly Clothesline From Hell from Bradshaw, due to his early interference in their match with Spike Dudley against the Dudleys and Test. In the ring, Booker hit the Book-End on The Rock, which Rock kicked out. Rock then fought back, blocking Booker's blows, hitting him with Belly To Belly Throw. As Booker was about to hit the Scissors kick, Rock retaliated with the spinebuster, leading up to the People's Elbow. Shane McMahon interfered with the count on the Alliance Referee, only to be hit with a Rock Bottom by The Rock, who then kept hitting with jabs on Booker in the ring. Booker used a spine buster on Rock, hitting Rock with the Scissors Kick and performing the Spin-A-Rooni, but the Rock got up and hit the Rock Bottom, pinning Booker with a three Count, gaining the WCW Championship, bringing the title to the WWF for the first time. Jim Ross commented that the night belongs to the returning Rock.

Dear Editor,
As the school year opens, I think of so many strategies to configure poor performing schools. What I am about to say is probably going to sound so anachronistic, but I feel sometimes it just pays to reinvent the wheel.
Many schools have been identified as poor performing schools. Many places have given parents the option of trying a charter school in that instance. Or, a magnet school is another option, so enticing with its specialty, be it science, the arts, or languages etc.
How did it all get so complicated that kids had to take an hour bus ride each way to garner the type of education they deserved?
When I taught in a school that was tethering or falling below baseline for standardized testing, we quickly pulled together on staff development sessions to explore methods, materials, and discipline. We also reviewed areas where more teacher aides were
needed. Our aides either stayed in the classroom with a student or took them in the back of the room as they saw appropriate. These aides were very good with the students and familiar with the material. Some classes could have had as many as three aides, but it worked. Test scores came up and schools ran okay again.
My friends and taxpayers, it sure beat paying for extra buses, renting warehouses to serve as schools, and having kids attend a school so different from where their neighborhood friends live.
There are so many supplemental components that can be used to cut down on the extra cost.
Your child is a science whiz you say? Great, so have the gifted science teacher go on a floating basis and see you student three times a week.
It worked in the 60's, and I bet it would work again.
Having school aides who are so committed to raising a child's level of learning is important. They need to be trained and most of them end up being an asset.
And, always remember this The testing is not the sum total of your student. Some standardized testing is necessary. Maybe two each year. But, those tests do not measure ambition, creativity and people skills.
Let's get back to the way it used to be. That way no poor soul has to sit in an office calculating how much voucher money goes to what family or coordinate a circuitous bus route for students who have not thrived in their neighborhood schools.
Thank you,
Sunny Cook

Thank you for the recipe ideas! Those walks sound like the "duck walk" they did at my son's wrestling practice. They get to a squat and start walking, but without the weights. it's very difficult to do.
A lot of people spend time at Ancestry.com looking up their lineage. I don't because I don't have time or the mental desire right now (too many other things I want to accomplish first), but I imagine this could help you make that determination.

Maybe you could also do things like pushups against your kitchen bench sometimes when you walk past, and some air squats. Stuff like that? Anything is better than nothing CrossFit is pretty hard core. I was doing it 5 days a week because I loved it so much, and giving it everything, so of course i got injured (was still over 200 lbs then), I wasn't listening to my body.
I fall into the German, British, Irish and Native American group. Course, most of my lineage has been here since the early to mid 1700's so I am considered an American except for my maternal grandmother being first gen German in the 1890's.
So far simply using grassfed beef tallow in my fairly high carb, high protein meals is making me feel much more satisfied than either trying to be lower fat or using other fats like olive oil, avocados or butter. I'm hoping this means that one can achieve satiety, mastery over appetite, weight loss and improved mental and physical health just by switching the type of fat eaten rather than the macro proportions.
Female, 5'3", 50, Max squat: 202.5lbs. Max deadlift: 225 x 3.
What kind of things are you all eating in a day?
I think ill switch from the BP coffee to some other type of high fat meal, ive been trying to give up coffee for over a year LOL. Although I do feel pretty damn good right now.
How would you fatten up a can of tuna besides homemade mayo? Or do you think that fat is enough?
Duck walks! Thank you, Jenn. I'll happily give up the notion that I invented these to be able to call them something other than squatty walks. LOL. It probably never occurred to me because right now I certainly don't resemble a duck. Although I'm amazed at how much improvement has happened in 10 days, I still am very graceless and swear while I'm doing them. Nothing like a pretty duck.
"Right is right, even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong, even if everyone is doing it." - St. Augustine
Who says back fat is a bad thing? Maybe on a hairy guy at the beach, but not on a crab.
1. Love ME no matter what noises are screaming at me, or who is trying to tear me down.
2. Eat to heal
3. Move to live
4. Embrace today
5. Live with intention
6. Respect my body
7. Cultivate joy
8. Find my passion
9. Meditate on peace in my soul
I've noticed something similar recently, SB. Although coconut will probably always be my go-to, I can't believe how much more animal fat, (ideally from gf beef) satisfies me than other fats - especially like crappy PUFAs in seeds, nuts, nut butters, etc. Actually, those make me more hungry - nuts are deadly! Macadamia nuts are an exception, but still dangerous. I've also realized over the years how achy I feel with increased PUFA intake.
Switching fats sounds like a better bet than tweaking macros altogether. Hope it works for you.
Life is not a matter of having good cards, but of playing a poor hand well.

Steve Hodel had stumbled across the photos in a family album shortly after his father, George died a few years ago. The two pictures were of a striking young woman, a beauty with downcast eyes and flowers in her dark hair. Steve asked his father's widow, June, who the woman might be, but she had no idea. A retired Los Angeles homicide defective Steve thought she looked familiar but just couldn't put his finger on her identity. "It was like a talisman," says Hodel, 61. "There was something about these photos."
From that chance discovery Hodel appears to have solved one of the most sensational murders in the history of Los Angeles: the 1947 killing and dismembering of a 22-year-old aspiring actress named Elizabeth Short, a crime that became known as the case of the Black Dahlia. For years the fascinated the public and fed the imagination of writers, notably novelists James Ellroy and John Gregory Dunne (in True Confessions). But having at last gotten to the bottom of it all in his bestseller Black Dahlia Avenger: The True Story, Hodel almost wishes he hadn't. For in a twist worthy of any fictional account, it turns out that the killer was very likely his own father. "I told Steve, if his father was still alive, I would have filed murder charges against him," says Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Steve Kay, with whom Hodel first shared his findings. "His evidence was very persuasive."
For Hodel, who embarked on his sleuthing in 1999, the year his father died at age 91, the first clue was the flowers in the hair of the woman in the picture. A 24-year veteran of the LAPD and about 300 murder investigations, he was generally familiar with the Black Dahlia case, including the fact that Elizabeth Short often wore flowers in her hair. Intrigued by the possible connection, Hodel, who was then working as a private investigator in Bellingham, Wash., began to research everything about the death of Short, whose body had been found mutilated and cleanly severed in half in a Los Angeles park on Jan. 15, 1947. He discovered that the original investigators had concluded that only a surgeon could have performed the grisly task with such precision. "It took that kind of medical finesse," says Hodel "somebody with real skill." Suddenly it did not seem a coincidence that his father, George, had been a surgeon.
George Hodel was a remarkable man in many ways. He was brilliant, charismatic and "he was very promiscuous," says Hodel. "Sex was vital to him." At 15, with an IQ of 186, he was admitted to the California Institute of Technology but after a year was kicked out, some say because of an affair with a much older woman. He eventually went on to medical school at the University of California, San Francisco. Meanwhile Hodel's personal life was chaotic at best: He married three times and had 11 children by five women. Well-connected and possessed of considerable charm, he hosted wild parties in the '40s for a fast Hollywood crowd that included the likes of filmmaker John Huston, novelist Henry Miller and photographer Man Ray.
Among the many women he had affairs with was Elizabeth Short. After her killing, says Hodel, "five witnesses in newspapers described him as her boyfriend." The motive for the murder? In part, jealousy. Dr. Hodel, says his son, was as possessive as he was promiscuous—and Short was involved with another man. But Steve also believes his father was a sadist who got sexual pleasure from killing. Not long after Short's body was found, a newspaper received a taunting, handwritten note from the killer. An expert told Steve that the sample matched his father's handwriting. It soon became clear that at the time of the murder, L.A. cops considered George Hodel one of their prime suspects because of his relationship with Short. Indeed, after Steve completed his manuscript, a Los Angeles Times reporter was granted unprecedented access to the 50-year-old grand jury file that included transcripts from bugs placed at George Hodel's home. In one of the recorded conversations, George is heard bragging, "Supposing I did kill the Black Dahlia. They couldn't prove it now." Says deputy D.A. Kay: "I would love to have that statement in front of a jury."
So why didn't cops build their case and arrest Hodel at the time? Steve, who thinks George may also have killed a dozen other women in L.A., believes that his father was in cahoots with crooked cops running a high-end abortion business and was thus given protection. When the D.A.'s office started breathing down his neck in 1950, George skipped town without his family, ending up in the Philippines, where he lived for the next 40 years. In the decades that followed, Steve, who has two grown sons by a previous marriage, again met up with his father and ultimately forged a close relationship with him. His feelings remain conflicted. "He was a true-life Jekyll and Hyde," says Steve. "I grew to hate the monster, the murder. But the Dr. Jekyll I love to this day."

Law enforcement officials have closed Occupy Wall Street encampments in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
Police officers raided the Occupy camp in Los Angeles early Wednesday morning, where the two-month-old protestor's tent city had remained two days after a deadline to evacuate.
More than 1,400 LAPD officers raided the camp and arrested 200 protestors who refused to leave.
At an early Wednesday news conference, Police Chief Charlie Beck said the arrests were mainly peaceful and there were no injuries. He also mentioned that no drugs or weapons were found at the campsite.
Similar action unfolded early Wednesday morning in Philadelphia, where police arrested about 50 protestors outside City Hall.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said breaking up the camp in the early morning hours minimized disruption to local businesses and traffic.
"We acknowledge the fact that we are going to have to leave this space. But in another sense this has been our home for almost two months and no one wants to see their home taken away from them," Philadelphia protestor Bri Barton, 22, said before police began clearing out the camp.
"Whether or not we have this space or work in the city is nowhere near done," she said.

Warrior Run players found a good way to pile up assists Thursday at the Catholic Community Center. Simply find Tay Parker near the 3-point arc, stand back and enjoy.
Parker put on a first-half shooting display that might make Ray Allen envious, draining six 3-pointers en route to scoring a season-high 29 points. Parker's hot shooting and her teammates solid all-around play helped Warrior Run thump St. John Neumann, 59-32.
The Defenders (11-5) won their sixth straight and clinched a fourth consecutive District 4 Class AA berth.

Warrior Run's Tay Parker (22) drives to the basket against St. John Neumann's Meghan Trenholm on Thursday night at St.?John Neumann. Parker finished with a game-high 29 points during the Defenders' 27-point win. View additional photos at cu.sungazette.com
Not surprisingly, Parker has played some of her best basketball during this stretch.
"When I made my first couple I felt really good so I kept shooting. Once I get one to fall I have more confidence," Parker said. "Earlier in the season, I wasn't shooting well but I just kept working on my shot and it's finally started going in."
Neumann (9-8) learned that often. Parker hit three 3-pointers in both the first and second quarters as Warrior Run built a 36-16 lead that was never threatened. The senior guard made three consecutive 3-pointers late in the second and had a hand in the team's last 11 points.
Parker, last year's Class AA state softball Player of the Year, went a different route in the second half, attacking the basket. She added four rebounds and three assists while nearly outscoring Neumann by herself.
"Tay came out and shot well and she's been doing that the last couple games," Warrior Run coach Jon Weaver said. "Once she started hitting from the outside they started overplaying her and she started going to the basket. Tay has stepped it up. Her last five games, she's been clutch."
Really, the whole team has. That has helped the Defenders turn around their season and beat Lewisburg and Southern Columbia after losing to both earlier this year. Sophomore Abby Fisher has been coming on strong and she and Laura Bastian set the early tone before Parker heated up.
Fisher and Bastian had a hand in the game's first eight points and combined for 11 first-quarter points as Warrior Run played one of its best quarters and built a 22-7 lead. Fisher nearly had a double-double, finishing with nine points and 10 rebounds while Bastian had eight points, four assists and seven rebounds. The emergence of those two has taken pressure off leading scorer Steph Shamburg, who had nine rebounds and five steals.
Neumann focused on stopping Shamburg and held her to seven points but unlike in the past, Warrior Run has the weapons to make defenses pay for doubling Shamburg. Guard Chloe Eisenhuth played well, too, scoring six points, dealing five assists and making three steals while Mackenzie Hays grabbed eight rebounds off the bench.
"I think our hustle is better now," Parker said. "We weren't really working well together earlier in the season but things have changed and we're back in the groove."
"That's why we have been playing much better," Weaver said. "Laura and Abby have been playing better and Chloe has been scoring more. I can't ask for any more effort. These girls give you every single ounce they have."
Neumann has been going in the opposite direction during Warrior Run's winning streak. The Knights have dropped six of seven games and are mired in a prolonged shooting slump. Neumann made only 7 of 41 shots Thursday after playing Muncy tough two nights ago.
Meghan Trenholm scored 23 points, but no other player scored more than three. Trenholm made 15 of 18 foul shots and grabbed seven rebounds while scoring all 16 second-half Neumann points.
"Our shooting has been off for quite some time and we just work and work on shooting and do all kinds of drills," Neumann coach Steve Sholder said. "We played really well against Muncy and I thought that would be a nice springboard. I knew this was going to be tough but I thought we would play better. It's a total lack of confidence right now. We need a really good win and hopefully we can get it Saturday against North Penn and go from there."

Crazy or Cool? Dad Uses Vacuum to Create Daughter's Ponytail (Video)Sunny Chanel
I can not decide if this is genius or bordering on child endangerment.
There is a new YouTube video that is going viral of a father giving his young daughter a ponytail with the aid of a vacuum cleaner. It's simple enough; he catches her long hair in the suction of the vacuum's wand and then rolls up a hairband that had been placed on the wand.
The girl tries to stay stoic and does a pretty good job at staying still (although there is one moment where she does get visibly jerked). But I have to say, there is no way my own daughter would go for this hairstyling process.
So, is this crazy or cool? Check out the video of the ponytail magic right here:

no, i don't think so sorry hopefully im wrong though
A friend boxing as the wrong Mii and now the experience level is too high for my wife. Anyway to reset the experience points without deleting her Mii?
no, i don't think so sorry hopefully im wrong though
i need a new sig!!! if you can be bothered, pm me and say that you can help me! (if you are good at making sigs lol)
No you cannot reset the points for her Mii. But anyway she'll have to go through those stages sometime so she better start now
Characters wanted for SSBB : King K.Rool, Lucario, Bubsy, Captain Olimar and Waluigi
Clippers -- Buccaneers -- Ducks -- Devil Rays
I didn't think so, thanks anyway.
Try this, copy your wife's Mii onto the wii remote, delete the Mii on the console and then reintroduce your wife's Mii on the wii remote back onto the console.
If I remember the game/console manuals correctly, it said the Mii's on the wii remote don't retain game save information. And also, I remember when I deleted one of my Mii's, it said something to the effect of "deleting this Mii will remove everything associated with it".
The thing is, Wii Sports will treat the reintroduced Mii as a totally new Mii with all experience levels set to 0.
Now if you only want the points for Boxing down to 0 and everything else as it is, I suggest intentionally losing at Boxing on her Mii a number of times until it bottoms out.
Crazy? Crazy!? I'm not crazy, I'm just not user friendly! - Roberto
If MaxCapacitor's idea doesn't work, then you could always deliberately just stand there and lose the match a few times to lower the skill level to the desired amount.

Yea, I want to reduce her points to 0 so I guess I'll let her lose a few times :-/

Very true. I always warn my friends who consider becoming house husbands of this aspect of female psychology. I will also be warning my sons about the connecting with your feelings, being sensitive trap. Once I understood how much bs that stuff was, my romantic relationships (as opposed to friendships) with females improved immeasurably.
A TV interview I saw with a couple the better part of 20 years ago burnt an understanding of this into my mind. Husband was a real man's man - been a miner and he lost his job when the pit shut. Wife became the main breadwinner, and she basically said that she lost respect for him and stopped putting out. I doubt their marriage lasted, which was sad given they had 3 or 4 kids iirc.
It doesn't have to be as huge as becoming a house husband; even having a hiccup in your career or being temporarily unemployed is enough for a lot of women to lose respect. In my younger days, I had a couple of hiccups in my career before getting back on track and each time the woman went as well as the job. You could see the cogs turning. Both times the set back turned out to be a precursor to a leap forward. Both times, once "success" was back on the table, the women concerned started "showing regret" and came sniffing around again. Both of them were alleged "feminists." The strange thing is that I don't think they quite understood themselves why their feelings had changed. It makes one dreadfully cynical, and much more careful/choosy. Thank god I didn't have kids or significant assets at the time.
The courts don't seem to treat house husbands who are dumped after giving up their careers in the same manner as house wives. The setbacks and loss of future earnings in this ageist world are almost as bad for men as for women. It is a real injustice and makes an absolute mockery of the lip service paid to equality.
Ive had this situation once. What got me about it more than anything is that are women so short sighted that they don't know you're going to get back on your feet sharpish and won't rest until you're at least back to where you were before? I used my redundancy to change career and, in the three years since, am now doing better than I would have been in my career with better prospects, this after learning that some careers pay better than others for no reason other than supply and demand of candidates.

ASP server conversion for mobile software

During the last few years, the popularity of different kinds of Internet capable mobile devices has increased considerably. By using these devices, a user has access to numerous different services currently found on the Internet, from anywhere in the world. Many of the existing Internet services are designed to be used with a desktop PC with a large monitor and fast Internet access. This is a major usability problem with mobile devices equipped with only a small display and a relatively slow wireless Internet connection. In this thesis, an existing ASP service was converted for mobile device use. The service originally intended to be used with an Internet browser, was implemented as versions for two very different kinds of mobile devices. The entire project consists of changes made to existing server as well as the client application created for the mobile devices. The healthcare oriented exercise set delivery service was converted so that, the software at the server creates a package containing the whole exercise set, which is then delivered into the mobile device. The mobile application in the device is responsible for displaying the exercise set, interaction with the user, and for returning the feedback made by the user back to the server. This thesis covers the server side of the above that is, an optimisation of the existing WWW pages and the device specific software for the exercise set package creation. /Kir10

Law Enforcement Survey
Although the household interview includes questions about nonfamily abductions, researchers expected to identify few such cases through this survey. Rather, they hoped to gather additional data on nonfamily abductions through a separate study of law enforcement records. While parents or caretakers do not always report a runaway or parental abduction to the police, they report almost all suspected nonfamily abductions to law enforcement agencies. Therefore, researchers are surveying a nationally representative sample of all law enforcement agencies in 400 counties, including those with large, medium, and small populations. Within each county, municipal police, sheriff departments, and State police are being surveyed using a mail survey designed to identify agencies that have handled nonfamily abduction cases in the past year.
Each agency reporting an episode in the past year is contacted by telephone and asked to provide details of the incident, including characteristics of the child and abductor, the eventual resolution of the case, any convictions or sentences, and any additional features that are important for determining whether a case meets the study criteria. In addition, information is being collected on open, unsolved cases of missing children to learn more about the characteristics of long-term missing incidents and their investigations.

PEOPLE REALLY STOP BEING POLITE AT the reunion of MTV's video-vérité The Real World (Sat., Feb. 17, 1 p.m. ET). Obnoxious Puck Rainey is still ranting at the roommates who showed him the door. Multicultural cast members, who were thrown together in awesomely decorated houses in New York City (1992), Los Angeles ('93), San Francisco ('94) and London ('95), revive old hostilities and talk frankly about how it feels to have their lives filmed for TV The 90-minute show is tense, exciting and raw.
What makes The Real World, which will air its fifth season in June, so riveting? As the roommates argue, bond and change, you too become part of the household, taking sides in every conflict, with all the intimacy and none of the risk. The program attracts more than 40,000 applications per year; it's easier to get into Yale. Imitations range from the Disney Channel's starry-eyed documentary Hollywood Lives to NBC's Friends. Although the MTV show is broadcast in 34 countries, there are also local versions in Germany, Italy and Sweden. "People respond to the stories," says Judd Winick '94, now a professional cartoonist. "It could work on the moon."
The San Francisco series broke new ground in confronting terminal illness with HIV-positive housemate Pedro Zamora, who died of AIDS in November 1994 at the age of 22. Greeting his friends with a breezy, Cuban-accented "Lucy, I'm home!" Pedro became, as President Clinton said at a memorial, "a member of all our families" and inspired audiences worldwide with his bravery and charm. Puck, his outrageous nemesis, appalled and fascinated viewers with crude tirades, scabs and snot-rockets and staged an epic showdown with Pedro's values. Combining the subtlety of Beavis and the talent of Butt-head, Puck never doubted his own hype. "I'm in the inner circle," he brags at the reunion. As if.
For the upcoming season in Miami ("great for bikinis," snaps medical student Pam Ling '94), The Real World will give cast members cash to start a business. I hope it won't be a coffee bar. Meanwhile the show's producers Mary-Ellis Bunim and Jon Murray are working on a two-hour NBC special about a real high school reunion of friends who shared a traumatic experience. I skip my own class reunions, but this one should be a lot more interesting. I plan to be watching.

You may have noted my inexplicable absence for the past couple weeks. I apologize for this disappearance, but the shameful fact is, I simply felt like I needed a break.
For a long time now, going to the movies has felt like "work," given that I operate under a deadline and, in an effort to have something topical to write about, I often must see films that I would otherwise have no interest in wasting my time with. In many ways film has simply become part of my increasingly grueling daily grind, particularly during times where that half-hearted trip to the theater represents the only new cinematic experience I'll have during a week. Frankly, it's depressing.

Panthers Captain Jovanovski Questionable To Start Season
The Florida Panthers might be without their oldest player to start the 2013-14 campaign.

Jovanovski, 37, only played in six games last year while dealing with knee and hip injuries. He underwent season-ending surgery to correct the latter in April, and was off skates until early July.

If the Centurions are to three-peat, they must replace the record-setting tandem of Gabrielle Conn and Nicole Hicks, along with four other seniors.
During summer ball, the team's new leader has stepped into the spotlight.
Senior guard Kaylynn Martin has impressed Saugus head coach Kent Eaton with not just her play, but also her demeanor.
"She's going to be our go-to girl," he said. "It's a rebuilding process but she's taken that role of a leader and decided she's going to embrace it. She's doing an outstanding job."
Martin saw a good amount of playing time last season and averaged 8.4 points per game, but she'll be expected to shoulder more of a load this winter.
A trio of sophomores might help lighten the responsibility.
Center Megan Dawe, point guard Jordan Oster and forward Kim Smithers have also made their mark this summer. Smithers played with the varsity team last year is a likely candidate for a starting spot with her ability to rebound.
Dawe and Oster both played on the junior varsity team last season.
"(Dawe) gets better every time she steps on the court, and she's becoming a force to be reckoned with," Eaton said. "(Oster) is young but embracing the challenge of running the program and getting us into our offense."
Valencia finished a game behind Saugus in the league standings last season, and the departure of forward Starla Wright has left a gaping hole in the front court.
Thanks to a productive summer, junior forward Faith Anumba is the likely candidate to take Wright's spot in the lineup according to head coach Jerry Mike.
"She's been playing forward and she's been our leading rebounder and one of our top scorers," he said.
Anumba played on the varsity team last year but didn't see much time off the bench.
One of the other starting spots may go to sophomore Lauren Beddo, whose strong inside play this summer has helped her cause.
"She's probably got the inside track to the last starting spot," Mike said. "She's a good all-around player. She can handle the ball and she's strong."
Sophomore Megan Emmer, who played sparingly last season on the varsity team, has improved her stock this summer as well.
"She's probably our best spot-up shooter and she gives us some pretty good size," Mike said. "She's pretty versatile, but mainly we're going to look for her to hit the open shot."
Mike was also impressed by Hart junior guard Hannah Saylor, who transferred from Alemany.
Saylor will join a slew of returnees for Hart this season, and some are already making waves in summer ball.
Junior point guard Mariah Glasshoff saw playing time last season, and her play over the summer has head coach Zach Koebel excited.
"She's just getting better and better for us," he said. "Her ball-handling and leadership skills are getting better and she's added a mid-range game."
Sophomore Melissa Bosborino has proven to be a capable backup to Glasshoff, too.
"She's been playing really, really well," Koebel said. "She's come a long way."
Junior forward Christina Falcone came off the bench on the varsity squad last season, but she could earn a starting spot this winter.
"She's plays with high energy," Koebel said. "She gives people a lot of trouble because if you go small she can post, and if you go big the bigs can't keep her in front of them."
Koebel also mentioned junior shooting guard Madison Stately as someone who should see more minutes next season.
"She's hands-down our best defender," he said. "Her minutes were limited on varsity last year, but I believe she started every game for us this summer."

...Severe Thunderstorm Awareness Day....
This week has been proclaimed Severe Weather Awareness Week in Alabama by Governor Robert Bentley. During this special week, Alabamians are encouraged to learn and or review the proper safety precautions necessary for protecting their lives during severe weather.
Today is devoted to severe thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are a common occurrence in Alabama any time of the day, month or year. There are about 2000 thunderstorms in progress around the world at any given moment. However, less than one percent of these thunderstorms are classified as severe. Severe thunderstorms are defined as thunderstorms that produce one inch hail or larger and/or strong wind gusts of 58 miles per hour or greater. Severe hail that is one inch in diameter is roughly the size of a quarter.
All thunderstorms generate potentially deadly lightning. However, lightning in a thunderstorm does not necessarily mean that the thunderstorm is severe. Occasionally, a small percentage of severe thunderstorms produce tornadoes with little or no lightning at all.
Across southern Alabama, severe thunderstorms usually occur during the late afternoon and evening hours, but can develop at any time. While severe thunderstorms can occur any month of the year, Alabama's peak Severe Weather Season is during the spring months of March, April and May. Alabama also has a secondary Severe Weather Season in the fall and typically runs from November through mid December.
A Severe Thunderstorm WATCH means conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. People located in and around the watch area should keep an eye to the sky and listen to their NOAA All Hazards Weather Radio or tune to the local broadcast media for further weather information. Typically, watches last around 6 hours and cover a relatively large area.
A Severe Thunderstorm WARNING means either a severe thunderstorm is occurring, has been detected by National Weather Service Doppler Radar or a reliable report has been received. People in the warned area should take immediate action to protect their lives, lives of others, and their property. Tornadoes can and occasionally do accompany severe thunderstorms. Treat this warning the same as you would for a Tornado Warning by taking the proper safety precautions. Warnings are issued for smaller, more specific locations and generally last for less than one hour.
Here are some Severe Thunderstorm Safety Rules...
Thunderstorms typically do not last very long and will most often pass by your location in less than one hour.
The best defense against thunderstorms is to stay inside a sturdy, substantial building that can protect you from lightning, large hail, damaging winds, heavy rain and tornadoes.
If caught outside, find shelter immediately.
Once in a shelter, stay away from windows and avoid electrical equipment.
Be sure to secure loose objects outside as these objects often become dangerous flying debris in high winds.
