Florida State defensive end Josh Sweat will play Saturday against North Carolina.
Sweat, a sophomore, missed last week's game against South Florida after having surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee. The injury occurred Sept. 15 on the final play of practice, but he played against Louisville two days later.
Earlier this week, Seminoles coach Jimbo Fisher was unsure if Sweat would be able to play, but Sweat practiced the last two days.
A former five-star recruit, Sweat has started 10 career games and played in all but one over his first two seasons.

Robert Reich: The biggest election news this week won't be who wins the presidential debate Wednesday night. It will be how many new jobs were created in September, announced Friday morning by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Whose Recovery?
Robert Reich: The reverse-Robin Hood budget plan just announced by Paul Ryan and House Republicans (and endorsed by Mitt Romney) would make the lopsidedness far worse – dramatically cutting taxes on the rich and slashing public services everyone else depends on.
Restore the Basic Bargain
Robert Reich: New data from the Commerce Department shows employee pay is now down to the smallest share of the economy since the government began collecting wage and salary data in 1929.
How to Create More Jobs By Lowering Wages: Texas and America
Robert Reich: Perry and Romney can duke it out over who created the most jobs, but governors have as much influence over job growth in their states as roosters do over sunrises.
Republican Double-Dip: What Must Be Done
Robert Reich: Now that we're slouching toward a double-dip recession, the only hope is voters will tell their members of Congress to stop obsessing about future budget deficits and get to work on the real crisis of unemployment, falling wages, and no growth.
State Department Approved Export of U.S.-Made Tear Gas to Egyptian Gov't
Marian Wang: The American-made tear gas used to disperse pro-democracy protestors in Egypt earlier this week was sold to the country after government review.
The Two Stories of This Terrible Economy, Yet Obama and the Dems Won't Tell Theirs
Robert Reich: Republicans lack specific policies but they have a story. Obama and the Democrats have lots of specific policies but don't have a story. That spells even more trouble for Democrats.
Why We Are Moving Toward a Recessionary Era
Robert Reich: The biggest ongoing threats are chronic recession or even deflation, because consumers don't have enough money to what the economy is capable of selling at full or near-full employment. Despite gains in productivity, little has trickled down to America's middle class.
Worse Than Expected on the Economy
Keep your eyes on the gap between what the economy could produce at full employment and the paltry level of aggregate demand (consumers plus businesses plus exports). That's why the stimulus is too small — and why my bet is the President will be back for more stimulus. The Commerce Department reported Friday that the […]

#GivingTuesday is an international day to give back! This #GivingTuesday, I'm asking you to give a child something invaluable: the gift of reading. Donations made through this website will directly benefit young people, putting books into the hands of children that need them the most.
National Family Engagement Alliance
provides a book for one child
provides books for a reading group
provides books for a whole class
and includes classroom posters
As I've traveled the country on the "There's Greatness on the Inside" tour, I have been continually surprised at the response received by students of all ages when I read aloud and more importantly when we gift students with books. For many students, receiving their very own book is a first and is also a first for many families. Help me make a difference by funding the distribution of even more books to children and families!

The Persona 4 Fighting Game Sure Does Look Pretty
Screenshots of the Vita version of Persona 4 have also been released.
Following the reveal of Persona 4: The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena in its latest issue, Famitsu has now published several screenshots online from both the new Persona fighting game and the Vita remake of Persona 4.
The Ultimate is a fighting game being created for arcades that will be brought to Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 in Japan next summer. The Persona team at Atlus is co-developing it with the developers of BlazBlue at Arc System Works.
"We're developing the story and dialogue, as well as supervising the graphic and animation work the BlazBlue team is handling," explained Atlus boss Katsura Hashino. "As for the gameplay system, the thing which defines the overall quality of any 2D fighter, we're entrusting the BlazBlue team with that."
It's going to be a while yet before we can say with any certainty if the game itself is good, but judging by this first wave of screenshots, it's going to look really nice, if nothing else.
Click through to the next page to see the first screenshots of the Vita's remake of Persona 4, The Golden, which will be out in Japan this spring.

Pleeeeeease don't let this game have the shitty music of P3 and P4! PLEASE!
whaaat?Posted: Sep 02, 2011 12:00AM PST by undeadraccoon
I think the music was good in both versions D: I even got the soundtracks cause I love them so much<3
Either way, I'm sure they'll make a new soundtrack to accomodate the action of this game (:
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTPosted: Sep 02, 2011 12:00AM PST by lordlaharl422
The music from those games kicked ASS!
Nope.Posted: Sep 02, 2011 12:00AM PST by metajay
J-pop mixed with rap and big band brass in the key of fart minor do not a good soundtrack make. Personal taste. Still, P3's soundtrack was just embarassing. I couldn't play that game. At least they could have given me the option of turning it off.
Then why are you here?Posted: Sep 02, 2011 12:00AM PST by lordlaharl422
If you couldn't even play the games, then you have zero claim to a say on the matter.
Besides.Posted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by lordlaharl422
There is an option. It's called the mute button.
Actually, lord...Posted: Sep 03, 2011 12:00AM PST by metajay
I played P3 for about 14 hrs before I made up my mind that it wasn't for me, and 4 for about 5 hrs. I had P3 preordered for months before I got the game. I was reeeeaaallly excited for it.
The series has great potential (I love the original and the sequel and I have Innocent Sin coming at the end of this month), but I think the soundtracks in 3 and 4 don't fit the tone of the universe at all. It's worse than the battle theme for Blue Dragon.
I would say, if anything, my opinion is validated by the fact that I spent a good amount of time with the games and that I played through every other domestic Persona release before 3 and 4.
Such a purist.Posted: Dec 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by cthulhucarl

YES!Posted: Aug 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by lordlaharl422
Oh my god this will be AWESOME! I wonder if the Personas in this game will be used in a fashion similar to the Arcana in Arcana Hearts.
Wonderful news.Posted: Aug 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by cthulhucarl
There's no doubt that I'll be getting both of these gems. Awesome.

Unaudited Group Interim Results for six months to 30 June 2012 -Savings soar at Principality
Wales' largest building society, Principality, has today reported a £167.8m growth in savings in the first six months of 2012, pointing to a resurgence in support for the mutual building society model.
Commenting on the Society's strong half year performance for the last time before handing the reins over to Graeme Yorston; Peter Griffiths, outgoing Group Chief Executive, said: "I am pleased to report that the Society continues to thrive in a tough market and is benefitting from an ongoing shift in social sentiment. The negative view consumers' hold of the major banks has helped our business as savers look to place their money with a trusted brand. In a highly competitive market we are seeing strong savings inflows, increasing savings balances to an all time high of £5.18 bn. This in turn has strengthened our funding position and further ensures that we can continue with our strategy to deliver long term value and security to our Members, customers, staff and local communities."
"While the economic environment has continued to present new challenges for both our customers and our sector, Principality has emerged fitter, stronger and even more resilient, attracting over 28,000 new customers to the Society in the last six months."
Key Performance Highlights:
o Savings growth of £167.8m
o Total mortgage assets increased 4.3%
o Strong half year pre-tax profits of £14.0m
o Over 28,000 new customers
o General reserves increased by £9.0m
o A robust net interest margin of 1.54%
o Overall balance sheet impairment provisions of £65.1m
Peter added: "We have continued to strike the balance between acceptable profits, fair returns for savers, and appropriate pricing for borrowers by managing the business prudently.
"We have delivered controlled levels of growth, strong levels of profitability boosted by our subsidiary businesses and a continued strengthening of our balance sheet. Impairment provisions for losses in our business remain at lower than budgeted levels, providing a level of reassurance and confidence for the future.
"We have also remained committed to our investment programme to further improve customer service, enhance our product offerings and deliver a multi-channel experience to our 500,000 Members and customers.
"Despite the proliferation of banking technology, research tells us that conveniently-
Peter explained that the Society's strong funding position had further helped to facilitate increased lending: "With credit conditions remaining tight, we have increased mortgage advances by 43.4% on the same period last year with total mortgage assets now 4.3% up since the end of last year."
The Society recently picked up the overall five star award for best mortgage lender and packager in a national survey of UK mortgage providers.
Commenting on the Society's arrears position: "We continue to support Members and customers who are experiencing financial difficulties offering a range of temporary actions to help keep people in their homes. Arrears and repossessions at the Society have remained flat at well below the industry average ."
Keen to support both the social justice and economic recovery agenda, Peter said: "The Society has continued to work closely with Welsh Government to support the housing agenda in Wales. We have strong management capability, a field of expertise and a long history of helping people to buy homes for themselves and we have effectively used these skills to develop a new financial model to deliver new and affordable homes to the Ely Mill site in Cardiff, Wales. We firmly believe that the successful delivery of this type of model could be replicated on future sites elsewhere in Wales."
Commenting on the Society's diversified model, Peter said: "Our subsidiary businesses have thrived in a low interest rate environment and whilst we recognise the pressure a low base rate environment places on savers, it has enhanced our overall earnings capability benefitting the core building society. With rates predicted to remain lower for longer we remain confident about our future prospects."
"Strong profits in Nemo have helped to offset rising funding costs in the core Society. Meanwhile, an active housing market over the first half of the year has resulted in a strong performance at Peter Alan for both lettings and estate agency with overall income 21.2% ahead of the same period last year. Peter Alan picked up the Sunday Times Best Welsh Letting Agent of the year in April and will open a further branch at Cathays in Cardiff later this year.
"The commercial lending market has remained challenging and while many competitors have seen losses in this area our book remains resilient. Lending has remained flat, with the team focussing on local deals. Business savings deposits have increased 3.5% on last year following the development of a new range of products for Charities Aid Foundation.
In conclusion, Peter said: "It has been a positive half year with the business remaining buoyant. I leave the Society in the safe and capable hands of my successor, Graeme Yorston. All that remains is for me to say a big thank you to those who have supported the Society over the last decade including past and current Chairmen, my Board, a loyal and dedicated team and a supportive set of Members.
Commenting on the future of the Society, new Group Chief Executive, Graeme Yorston, said: "Against a backdrop of increasing volatility in the economy, tightening credit conditions and an uncertain regulatory agenda, we remain confident in our ability to deliver the range of products and services our Members expect from us. We have strength in depth in our executive and senior management team and we continue to attract the skills needed to run the business and deal with the significant challenges thrown up by current trading conditions. I believe there exists an unequivocal opportunity for the mutual sector to deliver a differentiated service in the current climate and today's figures are evidence that this belief is shared by the wider population."
Principality Building Society was founded in 1860 and is the most trusted Bank or Building Society on the Welsh high street, and is the UK's 7th largest building society that offers services in buildings insurance, buy to let mortgages and savings accounts.

What Christian Ethics Demands, But Most Christians Have Yet to Seriously Try
What good would it do for three kayaks, three canoes, and a rubber dinghy to paddle into the path of a Pakistani steamship? For a tiny fishing boat with unarmed, praying Americans aboard to sail toward an American battleship threatening Nicaragua? For an 80-year-old lady in a wheelchair to stop in front of advancing Filipino tanks? Or for nonviolent protesters to defy the communist rulers of the Soviet Empire?
Soviet communism collapsed. The tanks stopped and a nonviolent revolution succeeded. The American battleship left and the threat of invasion faded. And the U.S. shipment of arms to Pakistan stopped.
Those are just a few of the many dramatic successes of nonviolent confrontation in the last several decades. Everyone, of course, knows how Mahatma Gandhi's nonviolent revolution eventually defeated the British Empire and – as the powerful film Selma now reminds us – Martin Luther King Jr.'s peaceful civil rights crusade changed American history. There have been scores upon scores of instances of nonviolent victories over dictatorship and oppression in the last 50-plus years. In fact, Dr. Gene Sharp, the foremost scholar of nonviolence today, has said that the later 20th century saw a remarkable expansion of the substitution of nonviolent struggle for violence. More recent scholarship has not only confirmed Sharp's comment; it has also shown that nonviolent revolutions against injustice and dictatorship are actually more successful than violent campaigns.

Center City Block Party saw one of its largest crowds in 2006, when the lights went on at Paramount Theatre.
Organizers hope lightning strikes again this year with the lighting of another Polk Street neon sign — even if it calls for shifting the whole party a few blocks.
The annual block party kicks off an hour earlier than usual at 4 p.m. Saturday on Polk Street between Fourth and Seventh avenues — a slightly northern move.
"We really did not feel we could close off Seventh Avenue," said Beth Duke, executive director of Center City of Amarillo, which puts on the annual fundraiser.
"We looked at a lot of things from last year (and) that's a very busy intersection," Duke said. "It's a great thing with the extra traffic coming to the Courtyard by Marriott, but it made the traffic in that area (increase)."
Entry gates will be located on Fourth and Sixth avenues. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the gate.
The move also allows for a late celebration, with the official lighting of the Amarillo National Bank sign on the bank's parking lot at Sixth Avenue and Polk Street.
"One of our biggest crowds ever was when we did the Paramount sign, so we wanted to make a big deal out of this new sign on Polk Street," Duke said. "Neon's a big deal on Polk Street, and we love that."
Shifting the party was greeted by cheers or indifference by at least some Polk Street businesses.
"Nothing really changes for us," said Kim Campbell, co-owner of Center City Furniture, 700 S. Polk St., which now will be just outside the perimeter. "We try to accommodate (Center City of Amarillo) as best we can when they're on our end."
Mark Prickett, owner of The Burger Bar, 614 S. Polk St., said he's "thrilled" his restaurant is still in the perimeter.
"The Block Party is kind of like our Super Bowl, and especially this year," Prickett said. "We're expecting a really good day."
The move also will allow Center City to host its first car show in conjunction with the party, held in ANB's parking lot at Fourth Avenue. Entry fee is $25 per car, which includes two block party admissions.
People's Choice and Kids' Choice voting runs from 4 to 6 p.m.
What hasn't changed is the mix of live music, food and drink that has typified the party for the past 19 years.
Four stages will host 22 bands (see schedule): The Happy State Bank Stage on Seventh Avenue, the Xcel Power Stage on Sixth Avenue, the Underwood Law Firm Stage on Fifth Avenue, and the Dollar General / Monster Stage on Fourth Avenue.
"It is absolutely the best crowd we play for all year," said Randy Ray, bass player for Noah Jenda, which headlines the Happy State Bank Stage at 10:30 p.m.
"It's such a good time and people are there to have fun, and when you're playing for people who are having fun, that makes it that much better," Ray said.
The Circle A Title VIP Area offers music by Tammy Stamps at 6 p.m. and Cruise Duke at 8 p.m. in the Skyline Conference Center on the 16th floor of Amarillo National Bank Plaza One, 410 S. Taylor St.
VIP tickets are $50, which includes admission, reserved parking on the top floor of the ANB parking garage and special refreshments.
More than 200 volunteers will man the party, too.
"Without the hands-on volunteers ... it would be very, very difficult, if not impossible," party chair Angela Champion said. "We have some hardcore, die-hard (volunteers) who come back every year. They really like this event and want to support Center City."
Funds raised at the party help finance downtown beautification projects for Center City, Duke said.
"Last year, we made a big investment in Center City banners for all the places that have the new pedestrian lights and streetscapes," she said. "Every banner is about $40, so it adds up fast."
Champion said she thinks the party's move will "jazz it up."
"I just think we all wanted a change, but it will still be the same feel," she said. "Moving it north gives us a different footprint. ... We can always move it back if we need to, but I think it will be exciting."
Besides, she said: "We can't very well light the sign if it's on the other side of the fence."

Round 1 - Matt Hamill returns from retirement and gets a nice ovation from the crowd. Dan Miragliotta is the ref. Hamill comes forward fast. Pushing with jabs. Big left from Hollett just off the mark. Hamill goes for an outside leg kick. Right hand over the top from Hollett, and he comes with a left hook to the body. Leg kick from Hamill. Good combo from Hamill. Hollett comes inside, ahd Hamill covers up. No takedown attempts yet from Hamill. Crowd getting a little restless. Good left from Hamill pushes Hollett back. Hollett looking for range. Hamill goes low for an easy takedown and starts working ground-and-pound. Hollett eating a bunch of shots and Hamill easily controlling on top. Hollett trying to explode back to his feet. But Hollett's eating way too many. Hollett just has nothing going on here. Hamill working to finish. Hollett pushes back to his feet, and he'll survive the round. He lands a nice right to the body as the horn sounds. It's a 10-9 round for Hamill on the MMAjunkie.com card.
Round 2 - Good left from Hollett 30 seconds in, and he tries a spinning back kick that is off the mark. Left hand backs Hamaill up. Teep to the body from Hollett after fending off a Hamill takedown attempt. Hamill ducks away from a Hollett right hand. Hollett goes to the body with a left. Front kick from Hamill. Knee from Hollett just misses the mark, and Hamill uses it for a takedown. He's on top, and this doesn't bode well for Hollett. But he survives on the ground and gets back to his feet halfway through the round. Again the crowd gets a little restless. Hamill a pretty lazy takedown attempt, and Hollett easily stops it. Hamill looks tired, but Hollett isn't doing much himself. He lands a body punch. Miragliotta tells them to fight. Crowd really booing now, and Hollett tries for some spinning stuff and Hamill gets another takedown. It's another 10-9 round for Hamill, but Hollett probably has more energy going to the last.
Round 3 - Big left from Hollett is just off the mark. Right just misses. And then a shot from Hamill and an easy takedown. Hollett tries to roll out and gives his back, and he's going to eat some short punches on the ground. Crowd pretty bored with this fight. Nothing major coming from Hamill here – just punches as he controls Hollett, and Hollett unable to power back to his feet. He tries to roll out, but that's not going anywhere. Still half of the round to go. Finally, Hollett is back out. He's bleeding. But Hamill pretty quickly lands a perfect takedown and Hollett is right back on his back. Hamill works a few punches here and there, and with a minute left they'll get stood up. Hamill looks exhausted. He pushes forward, and easily puts Hollett on his back again. Hollett just can't defend the takedowns, and he never really let his hands go in the fight. Hamill will end things on top. It's an easy 10-9 round for Hamill, and MMAjunkie.com has him winning the fight 30-27. Matt Hamill def. Roger Hollett via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

DIY: Sunscreen Bars
Protect yourself from more than just the sun with these easy DIY sunscreen bars!
Manufactured sunscreens contain toxins that are not entirely good for you. This DIY sunscreen bar recipe is great. Not only does it protect delicate skin from the sun, it does it without any harmful chemicals. This is a great sunscreen for those with uber-sensitive skin. The recipe is easy to follow and has everything that you need to make these little sunscreen bars without the toxins that are found in over the counter brands.
- 1/2 cup shea butter
- 5 Tbsp beeswax
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp Zinc Oxide
- ½ tsp vitamin E oil
- ¾ tsp essential oil (citrus oils increase photosensitivity so do not use those – We used lavender)
Combine the shea butter, coconut oil and beeswax in a glass bowl placed over a hot pot of water or use a double boiler. Heat on low until the ingredients are melted and full incorporated. Remove from heat and stir in the zinc oxide, the essential oil, and the vitamin E oil. Pour into silicon molds and place in the fridge to cool for about 30 minutes. Pop out and store in tins or an airtight container. Store at room temperature.
- These will melt in the hot sun. We plan to cut off a small piece to take with us to the pool or the beach and carry it in an airtight container. Once back indoors it will solidify again.
- How to apply: You simply rub all over your body while holding in your hand. The texture is firm but emollient and it will feel like a lotion – not soap. You can rub it in further with your hands.

In 2006, Shakespeare Bats Cleanup by Ron Koertge hit the shelves in libraries and stores. No, it's not about William Shakespeare. Instead, it tells the story of 14-year old Kevin Boland, a talented first baseman sidelined by mono. While sitting out a good part of the season, Kevin starts writing poetry - about baseball, about girls, about his dead mom. The whole story is told in poems - some free verse and some in forms, ranging from haiku to a sonnet to a pantoum and more, some using rhyme, some not.
This spring brings the release of Shakespeare Makes The Playoffs, which picks up a bit later in baseball season. Kevin and Mira are still going out, although Kevin is starting to question that relationship a bit - Mira doesn't "get" him or his poetry, whereas a new girl he's met (named Amy) sure does. Not only that, she writes poems with and for Kevin. What's a guy to do?
I won't tell you what Kevin does, exactly, but I will tell you a bit more about Kevin. Kevin is dealing with lots of issues that are familiar to normal guys. There's school, of course. And sports - in this case, baseball, which is Kevin's driving passion. Kevin also has to deal with his father, an unhappy widower who has started to develop an interest in dating, and he has to figure out what to do about Mira. At least he's got a cool English teacher - a guy he calls Mr. B. In a poem called "Mr. B.", Kevin writes about Mr. B, who climbs mountains in places like Tibet and loves the work of Emily Dickinson. The poem ends with excellent advice about the appreciation of poetry:
When somebody in the back row asks him, "What does
this poem mean?" he says, "Don't worry so much
about what it means. Pretend poetry is chili
and you're starving. Would you ask what chili means?
Just eat it up."
Shakespeare Makes the Playoffs is written in poems - free verse and forms, just like the earlier book - which means that the "chapters" are short - sometimes only a page long. But being poetry means that they are full of images and terrific language and that they move the story along at a good pace.
Definitely a book for guys who like baseball and poetry. And the book doesn't exactly advertise that it's a book of poems, making it the perfect one to grab if you're not sure you want anyone nicknaming you "Shakespeare".

One week into the regular season and the San Francisco 49ers already look as if they are poised to emulate the same kind of success they enjoyed one year ago.
Following the 49ers' 34-28 win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, fans and analysts both learned new things and were reassured of others.
All of the hype surrounding San Francisco has come to the forefront of the NFL. There are reasons why so many experts have been touting the 49ers as early favorites to win the Super Bowl this year. Many of those reasons were revealed in Week 1.
The running game, led by veteran Pro Bowler Frank Gore, should continue to be a factor in San Francisco's offense. While rushing for only 44 yards and a touchdown last Sunday, it would be foolish to discount his value.
The defense, long part of the 49ers' recent success, had its moments. Starting off against a high-flying and potent offense like that of Green Bay was a good test. Rookie safety Eric Reid looked sharp and both Aldon Smith and Justin Smith appeared to be right on track.
Then there was the Colin Kaepernick and Anquan Boldin connection.
Kaepernick to Boldin should be something that 49ers fans get used to in the coming weeks. Boldin was amazing, leading all receivers with 13 receptions for 208 yards and a touchdown. Vernon Davis also got into the mix and it is reassuring that he will likely be a major factor in the offensive game.
All of these signs, and others, bode well for the 49ers' prospects for a Super Bowl contending season.
However, the season is a long one. With only one game in the books, it is impossible to entirely predict what happens moving forward.
The 49ers will face a tough schedule in 2013. Opening up at home against Green Bay was no exception.
Out of the 13 different teams San Francisco will face this year, five are coming off playoff appearances. It is worth noting that the 49ers will have to face last season's surprise-story, the Seattle Seahawks, twice—a team that many feel has the best shot to thwart San Francisco's reign in the NFC West.
San Francisco's schedule will also be made tougher by the fact that two teams in particular—the St. Louis Rams and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers—made considerable moves during the offseason and should be considered viable opponents.
The 49ers cannot look past teams like the Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints this year as both of those franchises are looking more promising in 2013.
An interesting question will be how the trip to London in Week 8 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars will affect the team? Granted, San Francisco will enjoy a bye the following week, but the trip needs to be mentioned.
A tough schedule can actually provide a bonus to teams having expectations no shorter than a Super Bowl championship. In many ways, a tough schedule is something that should help prepare the 49ers for the long road that lies ahead.
It is also worth noting that Sports Illustrated's 2013 NFL predictions do not list San Francisco winning the Super Bowl, let alone winning the division.
After Week 1 however, those predictions may deserve some rethinking.
Regardless, here is an in-depth examination and prediction of the individual matchups the 49ers will have following Week 1 and continuing until the end of the regular season.

Cecily McMillan Faces Up to Seven Years for Assaulting a Cop at Occupy Wall Street. Where's the Justice in That?
Police remove Cecily McMillan from a bus they'd commandeered for prisoner transport at Zuccotti Park on the night of St. Patrick's Day 2012.
Zach D. Roberts
On a chaotic March night two years ago, in the midst of one of Occupy Wall Street's last large-scale demonstrations, a police officer did or did not grab Cecily McMillan's breast. Two years later, in a much-discussed, hotly-contested trial that centered around a blurry five-second YouTube clip, McMillan has been found guilty of assault on a police officer. But has justice been served?
McMillan says she was at a six-month anniversary celebration at Zuccotti Park for only a few moments, intending to find a friend in the crowd and get out. But while she was there, the NYPD began clearing the park of demonstrators. Chaos reigned. McMillan says her only clear memories from the night are being grabbed from behind by her right breast, then flung forward on her face. Her next clear memory is from hours later, when she awoke handcuffed to a hospital bed and was told she was under arrest.
NYPD officer Grantley Bovell remembers the night differently. He says McMillan deliberately elbowed him in the eye while shouting at someone in the crowd, "Are you filming this?" He saw stars, suffered a black eye, and missed two weeks of work.
Far from clarifying the events of that night, the trial only served to obscure them further. The guilty verdict has inflamed the city's progressive activists, who say it's the work of a heavy-handed DA and a biased judge. But the prosecution in her case argued McMillan was drunk, violent, and got the trial she deserved. Who's right?Read the full story in this week's Village Voice

Bills for knee replacements in the Philadelphia region in 2011 ranged from $30,386 at Chester County Hospital to $202,777 at Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, federal data released Wednesday showed.
But Medicare paid both hospitals just a fraction of those billed charges. When a patient receives his statement, it usually indicates the inflated billed charges as well as the lower figure actually paid by the insurer.
Medicare paid Lourdes an average of $15,681 for 31 knee replacements in 2011. The average payment to Chester County Hospital, in West Chester, was $12,520 for 141 surgeries.

Burger King's (BKW) come a long way since its first little outlet in Miami in 1954. The chain's famous flame-grilled cooking process has been the key plank of its innovative food presentation and cooking, which has moved it up to being the world's second largest hamburger chain.
In 2010, it was acquired by the private equity firm, 3G Capital, to be returned to the market again in June 2012. While it was an absence of just 20 months the company that has returned is not the same. Burger King is transformed and it has big plans for itself and its investors.
The most important change that is taking place is a transition to franchisee model. It is also modernizing its stores and expanding its menu to take on rivals like McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) and Wendy's (NYSE:WEN) and looking for more international exposure. In short, it is taking a holistic approach to strengthen its foothold in the Quick Service Restaurant (NYSE:QSR) market.
The franchisee model
In this model, franchisees manage the day to day restaurant operations, incur costs, and earn sales revenue. The profits also remain with them. The franchiser receives a royalty on the sales. This is a win-win situation for both parties.
Franchisees are best positioned to understand the local tastes and preferences and have their own business models to maximize sales. And freed from cumbersome operational duties, the franchisers pour all their resources into giving overall directions to the franchisees and chalk out strategies for promoting their brand.
So the franchisees, who are local restaurateurs, get a national brand, which they can leverage to earn big profits and the franchisers get low-risk steady stream of cash flow. McDonald's and Wendy's both have successful franchisee models. Now Burger King has decided to join the club. It transitioned to a 99% franchised model by the end of the second quarter. This move will have both long-term and immediate impacts.
Cracking the code
Immediate benefit of the franchisee model would be an improvement in profitability and cash position. This is exactly what happened in the second quarter. Burger King's expenses declined by 65% during the quarter and profits jumped 30% over the second quarter of 2012.
Meanwhile, cash generated by operating activities improved from $36.9 million to $130.2 million in the current second quarter. Given that low cash generation has been a sore point with investors especially in view of Burger King's heavy debt load of $3 billion, this is a big development.
From a longer term perspective, the company will now be able to focus on solid brand building. Management has a dual intent - to increase international exposure and grow domestic sales in the face of cut-throat competition.
Testing waters across the globe
Over the last few years, Burger King has been eyeing markets abroad, especially ones with growing middle class population. During the second quarter, it signed new master franchise and development agreements in Mexico, Canada, and Pakistan and entered into a new development agreement in Germany. These new markets can provide added avenues for growth.
The company is experiencing good sales in most of its existing foreign markets. Trends are especially strong in Asia-Pacific, where comps grew by 3.9% in the second quarter. This surprised analysts, who had predicted 0.7% decline. The EMEA region saw comps growth of 2.9%, ahead of the 2.5% expected by analysts.
Domestic scene
Currently, growing domestic sales is the biggest challenge for all QSRs as Americans continue to remain cost conscious and reluctant regarding any discretionary spending. So, all fast food chains are consolidating their strengths.
McDonald's is experimenting with an extension of its dollar menu in some test markets. This is a tiered menu with items priced between $1 and $2 and is called "Dollar Menu & More". It includes items like Southwest Burger, Bacon Hot 'N Spicy McChicken, and more. Besides, promoting its dollar menu, McDonald's is also trying to grow traffic through new premium offerings, its emphasis on breakfast items, and restaurant modernization.
Wendy's is doing up its restaurants in a big way and has also strengthened its value proposition by adding six solid items at the $0.99 price point. It has a tiered 'Right Price Right Size' menu with items priced between $1 and $2.The chain made big news when it launched its Pretzel Bacon Cheeseburger in July. This has been a huge hit. Analysts are predicting that Wendy's will increase total sales by a solid 5.5% in the third quarter. Ever since the arrival of this burger, Wendy's stock has also been on fire. It has added over $1 billion in market capitalization already.
An eye for an eye
Burger King is not taking the beating hands down. It, in turn, is throwing an equally big challenge to its competitors. It has gone for a complete menu offensive and it pursuing its restaurant modernization program with full gusto.
Menu additions
The chain has added lots of new items this year. In March, there was the Spring-menu with nine new items and in May there was the Summer-menu with 13 new items. The company is offering premium items like Rib Sandwich, Carolina BBQ Favorites, Turkey Burger, Buffalo Chicken Strips, and more.
However, items that are resonating most with customers are the $1.25 Whopper Jr, $0.50 ice-cream cone, and $1 frozen lemonade. The Mix & Match 2 for $5 Special, targeting the everyday customer looking for more value for money, has also struck a chord. So, the company has decided to focus more on its value menu promotions and go for fewer but more impacting premium product launches in the second half.
The balanced menu launches would help to build more excitement around the premium offerings, and the emphasis on value items would attract more traffic.
New look
Burger King is modernizing its restaurants in order to improve its brand perception. Through the end of 2012, it completed re-imaging 19% of its restaurants in the U.S. and Canada. Now the company is on track to meet its target of re-imaging 40% by 2015.
The renovated restaurants are seeing 10% to 15% more traffic than the old restaurants. As the proportion of re-imaged restaurants increase, the overall comparative same store sales numbers are likely to move up.
Report card
From the above, we can conclude that Burger King has taken the right steps but it is very important to look at the company's latest quarterly numbers and key investment metrics to evaluate its progress and attractiveness.
In the recently concluded second quarter, Burger King's reported adjusted earnings of $0.21 per share compared to $0.19 expected by analysts. Reported revenue was down 48.5% to $278.3 million as the company shifted to a franchisee model. In constant currency terms and excluding the impact of franchising, revenue increased by 1.2%.
System-wide same-store sales were up 0.4%, ahead of the 0.2% projected by analysts. In the U.S. and Canada, same-store sales were down 0.5%. This is an improvement over the 3% drop in the first quarter and better than the 0.8% decline expected by analysts.
Meanwhile, we find that ever since it has returned to the market, the stock has appreciated by 25%. It has a forward P/E ratio of 21.5 times, which is lower than the current P/E ratio of 46 times. This implies that the market expects the company to grow its profitability and post better earnings in future. Its forward P/E is in line with the industry average and contains upside potential.
While it is clear that things are looking up for Burger King, investors need to keep in mind that even the best laid plans can fail. I would urge investors to keep an eye on a few things to avert losses. First of all, any further debt issue can be risky. The company already has a sizable debt burden. Next, although Burger King has chosen its franchisees painstakingly, as with any big transition, we need to see whether the latter have adequate controls in place and whether they are diluting the brand.
Then there is the minimum wages bill. If this is passed and the wage rate of $9/hour is established, it would raise costs of franchisees. Although this will not directly affect Burger King, this can have an indirect impact. If margins of franchisees get compromised the company may find it difficult to get willing partners to fuel its future development plans. Finally, we need to keep an eye on the competition. If peers like McDonald's and Wendy's manage to erode Burger King's market share, it can have a big impact on future sales and profits.
Last word
Burger King is consolidating its strengths. It is boosting sales through store modernization and lowering costs by adopting a system-wide franchisee model. It is also increasing promotions of value menu to attract more customers and looking to grow internationally. While risks definitely remain, the company looks poised for a bright future ahead.

Hundley: NFL decision will be harder after Sun Bowl performance
UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley has yet to make a decision on his NFL future, but said Tuesday his decision will be "harder" after a fantastic Sun Bowl performance in which he led UCLA to a 10th win for the first time since 2005.
Hundley said he will head home to Arizona to relax and think it over before returning to Los Angeles to discuss the decision with his coaches.
Hundley completed 16 of 27 passes for 226 yards and two touchdowns, and ran 10 times for 161 yards and two more scores in the Bruins' 42-12 victory over Virginia Tech.

Missing Snowboarder Fatality, Out of Bounds on Mount Strachan
Cypress Mountain, West Vancouver – On the afternoon of January 29, 2016, a 40 year old male from the Lower Mainland was reported missing by a snowboarding companion to Cypress Base Station at approximately 3:30 PM. The report identified the location where the two persons had crossed a double rope line boundary marking on Upper Mount Strachan earlier in the day, and where the companion had turned back to return to the Ski Area.
A boundary search was subsequently conducted by Cypress Ski Patrol, and the location of a snowboard track exiting down a steep slope beyond the boundary was confirmed. The West Vancouver Police Department was contacted and a search was initiated last night by North Shore Search and Rescue in the area of Montizambert Creek above the Sea to Sky Highway.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – If San Francisco 49ers receiver Josh Morgan sometimes looks like poetry in motion with the ball in his hands, there's a good reason.
Morgan is a poet.
Since his days as a youth growing up in Washington D.C., Morgan has written poems about his life experiences, including the difficulties of living in a tough neighborhood environment where gunfire and police sirens were the norm.
During football season, however, he puts down his pen. "I don't really have the time," he said.
Understandable. Morgan is coming off his best season in the NFL, and he's been called one of the league's sleeper prospects, a player capable of having a breakout year.
The reason: With so many offensive weapons – wideouts Michael Crabtree and Ted Ginn Jr., tight end Vernon Davis and running backs Frank Gore and Brian Westbrook – Morgan may have more opportunities to catch the ball while the others are drawing extra attention.
"He has the ability to get on top," offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye said. "I would think he would be a factor, and his play will improve because of the other people on the field. We'll give him more room and an opportunity to work against the side of the field that he's on based on where Crabtree and Davis and Ginn are displaced. So I would expect his contribution to be greater than it was a year ago."
In 2009, Morgan had 52 catches for 527 yards and three touchdowns. Only Davis had more receptions, and only Davis and Crabtree had more yards.
"I always expect a breakout year every year," Morgan said. "I work hard every day. I don't think I've missed a day of practice since I was drafted – not practice, training camp, OTAs, nothing. I try my best to work hard and prepare every year with the intentions of making the Pro Bowl. I like to see myself as being consistent, and every time my name is called to catch the ball."
Morgan, 25, isn't shy about setting goals for himself. With enough chances, he hopes to improve on last season's numbers.
"Most definitely," he said about establishing goals. "You always want to do better and see yourself getting better every year. I call it the Crazy 8s. My goal is 80 catches, 8 touchdowns, 800 yards, at least. I think that's a reasonable goal."
Admittedly, it won't be easy given the 49ers' cast of offensive specialists. But if Crabtree (neck strain) and Davis (knee) are slow to start, Morgan knows he must step forward to help quarterback Alex Smith. Crabtree and Davis both practiced at full speed Tuesday.
"We've got a lot of weapons," Morgan said. "But it's a goal you set to keep you working hard. If I set goal like that, it means I've got to catch every ball thrown my way and do something with it. That's putting pressure on yourself to perform to your max. The better you do, the more you're going to help the team."
And when the season is over, Morgan can get back to writing poetry.
"Most of what I write is not related to football," he said, "but I might use some of my experiences in football as a metaphor for life."
