A decade ago, a handful of dedicated Miami business leaders, philanthropists and arts advocates discovered that we all shared a love for music. Together we crystallized an idea to share that love with all of Miami. By capitalizing on the city's rising acclaim as a cultural hub by utilizing the brand-new performing arts center being built downtown and by claiming one of the world's best orchestras as Miami's own, South Florida could become even greater.

Picture this scene in downtown Charleston Sunday afternoon.
Several thousand children are walking around with bright red backpacks filled with school supplies.
The students are with their parents, and they're all excited about the start of another school year next week.
It sounds like an educator's daydream but it was real.
At least 10,000 parents and children crowded Liberty Square and the Maritime Center Sunday afternoon for Charleston's First Day Festival, an annual event for families to get free school supplies and for the city to encourage parents to get involved in their children's education.
The festival, now in its 11th year, is organized by the Mayor's Office for Children, Youth and Families. Mayor Joe Riley was walking around mingling with children and parents.
"It's just a wholesome, happy, child-focused event, celebrating the beginning of a school year and reminding the children through this civic event how important their education is to the community," Riley said.
Jason Nelson of Johns Island and his family were back for the third year with his two children.
"It's exciting to see all the people here," he said.
Corey Vanhorn of Summerville came with seven children, including relatives. This was their first year to attend.
"I think it's a pretty decent event," he said. "It gives everybody the opportunity to get prepared for school on Monday."
Summerville is in Dorchester County. Organizers said they didn't mind neighbors coming, too.
The free school supplies are a big draw, as is free admission to the aquarium, free boat rides on the harbor, games and food. Nearby parking was $1 for the day.
First Day started in 2003 at Joe Riley Stadium, moved to Liberty Square in 2004 and expanded to the Maritime Center in 2007. Attendance broke 10,000 in 2009. Organizers estimated at least that many came out Sunday.
About 5,000 backpacks were handed out under the Fort Sumter building. The first 4,000 were filled with paper, pencils, markers, erasers, index cards, pocket folders, spiral notebooks — all the supplies students are required to have when they show up for school.
"The cost that parents have to incur just to get children prepared for school, it's incredible," said Jacquie Kennedy, executive director of the Mayor's Office for Children, Youth and Families. "It's a tremendous help for the parents," especially those with several children."
Besides saving parents money, the free stuff also helps get the kids excited about school.
"Kids love having something new to start off the school year," said Mindy Sturm, the city's youth programs coordinator.
One family with five children was there at 8:15 a.m., almost five hours before the festival started, according to volunteers who showed up at 7:30 a.m. to start setting up tables.
It was a hot afternoon, with the temperature hovering just below 90 degrees. Volunteers walked around offering cups of water to children and parents.
About 400 volunteers work the event, according to coordinator Christina Messick.
"They come from all walks of life," she said of the volunteers. "We couldn't do it without them."
The festival also encourages students and family to pay more attention to their health. The sidewalks outside the maritime center were transformed into a space called Healthy Foods 4 U.
Carolina Produce Company gave out boxes of fruits and vegetables. The Charleston County School District's Nutrition and Food Services staff served serving up small portions of chicken nuggets, rice and vegetarian pizza. The Medical University's Junior Doctors of Health program was showing students how to mix healthy snacks with grain cereal, granola and raisins.
"It's about the whole child," Messick said.

There haven't been many bright spots for the Pistons, but after five games it looks as if rookie Kyle Singler belongs in the NBA. The latest example came Wednesday night during the Pistons' 105-103 loss to the Kings. Pistons coach Lawrence Frank used Singler for the last 15 minutes in place of Tayshaun Prince, who played just 3 seconds of the fourth quarter.

Lowell sophomore Jordyn Boyer said she's a different runner this year. After an impressive debut season in 2015, Boyer said her success in 2016 has largely come from the space between the ears.
"I'm mentally stronger," she said. "If I have a bad start or a bad spot in a race, I know that I just have to push through it, that it isn't the end of it."
This evolution was on display at Saturday's New Prairie Invitational, one of the biggest regular-season meets in the state. Boyer had to battle from the back of the lead pack to win the Class AAA race in 18:27.

DivX, LLC, a subsidiary of Rovi Corporation, helps consumers enjoy a high-quality video experience on any device or platform, and because of this, the company needs its website operating at peak performance at all times in order to connect the consumer with the solutions that the company sells.
The Challenge
When DivX approached Achieve it had a website structure and code base that had been edited and altered by a number of different freelance developers. Unfortunately, the site would not operate as it was supposed to and DivX did not have a dependable internal development team to solve the issue. The company asked Achieve to come in and clean up the current state of the code base, resolve problems with the localization matrix, and implement Drupal best-practices to optimize the performance of the site.
The Solution
These kinds of projects are not foreign to Achieve. We have compiled the smartest developers into one shop and they revel in solving the most complex issues. Achieve is routinely sought after to fix projects that are too complicated for other development firms. By utilizing our expertise and experience we were able to harness the globalization and localization functionality of Drupal in order to resolve the issues DivX was having. A necessary localization module integration was needed for the site to render the correct data and operate at its peak performance.
The Result
DivX's software is its lifeblood, and its source of revenue, the software lives on their website which makes the need for an optimized digital property that much more critical. With the support of Achieve DivX was able to launch a re-vamped site that enhanced the consumer experience and ran at its peak. This was important to DivX due because an optimized digital property that is running at its peak results in higher conversion rates -- in DivX's case -- more product downloads, which would increase revenue.
Achieve standardized all of the code on the DivX site and re-organized and re-modeled the localization matrix following strict best practice guideline to deliver a more functional and optimized website.

The biggest and best E3 surprises
Every year there are a few mind-blowing revelations, be it the first showing of a new game or the announcement of an entirely new console. Some surprises, however, are larger than others, and we've pulled together the biggest of the big to get you excited for this year's show.
7. Gabe Newell's appearance at Sony's press conference
Newell took to the show to admit how much Sony had turned things around over the years, and to reveal that Portal 2 would not only be coming to the system, but that it would be the better of the two console versions. It'd be getting full Steam support, and offer cross-platform play with PC versions. This ended up coming back to bite him when the PSN hacking and outages came to light right as Portal 2 released, raining all over their parade, but it was still an important - and surprising - moment.
6. Team Ninja revealed as Metroid: Other M developer
It was the perfect trailer for the reveal, too. It started by showing off the Team Ninja logo, which immediately piqued everyone's interests, and then rolled into clips of Samus - without her suit - talking about her past. It wasn't for some time before we realized that it was, indeed, a Metroid game, at which point the gaming community lost its collective mind. Sure, the game ended up being a disappointment, but at the time it sounded like an awesome idea.
5. The PSX gets a $299 price
At Sony's presser, the soon-to-be game giant revealed a $299 price for the PlayStation. Revealing a $100 price gap between the two systems was a huge blow to Sega, and, in a way, set the standard for gaming consoles moving forward. Too bad Sony completely forgot about that when it launched the PlayStation 3 at $599. Oops.
4. EA brings up sports legends to reveal Xbox Live integration
EA would be bringing its games to Xbox Live, meaning you'd be able to play games like Madden, Need for Speed, and FIFA online on Xbox. Online play had, for a short while, been thought to be another element of exclusivity that could be passed back and forth between consoles, but the biggest publisher announcing it would be spreading its web was a symbolic end to this idea. And bringing the sports stars on stage was actually a fairly classy move - game companies love to trot around celebrities for no real reason (like when Activision tapped Jamie Kennedy to host their press conference), but this one actually made sense, and was handled well.
3. Killzone 2 shows the power of the next generation
It took a little while for Sony to admit that it was projected footage of what it expected the game to look like, so we all just assumed that it was nonsense. That was, until 2007, when Sony, again, showed off footage from the game, and while it wasn't quite up to snuff with the 2005 test footage, it was significantly closer than anyone expected. By the time the game came out it had just about matched the initial test footage, forcing everyone to eat their words in a big, fancy, all-you-can-eat buffet.
2. Final Fantasy XIII revealed for the Xbox 360
Seriously no one saw this coming. Microsoft had sniped Grand Theft Auto's (timed) exclusivity a few E3s prior, but this was Final Fantasy - it was holy ground, and Microsoft treading on it meant that the age of exclusives was, for all intents and purposes, dead.
1. Sega releases the Saturn during E3
"Many Americans have gone to the extent of paying $800 and more for Sega Saturn units from Japan," Kalinske said during the show. "We've decided to bring the product to market earlier than scheduled to meet the high consumer demand, to refine our marketing strategy over the summer, prior to the important fall season, and to get a headstart on the competition."
Never mind the fact that many of the launch games weren't... ready, or that retailers weren't exactly prepared. It was awesome at the time!
What about this year?
Be sure to let us know what E3 shockers you're hoping to hear this year in the comments below, too!

From the author of Chasing Che, here is the remarkable tale of a group of boys at the heart of Cuba's political and social history. Chosen in the 1940s from among the most affluent and ambitious families in eastern Cuba, they were groomed at the elite Colegio de Dolores for achievement and leadership. Instead, they were swept into war, revolution, and exile by two of their own number, Fidel and Raúl Castro. Trained by Jesuits for dialectical dexterity and the pursuit of absolutes, Fidel Castro swiftly destroyed the old Cuba they had come from, down to the hallways of Dolores itself. At once sweeping and intimate, this remarkable history by Patrick Symmes is a tour de force investigation of the world that gave birth to Fidel Castro – and the world his Cuban Revolution leaves behind.

The New York Times Book Review
Castro's tale has been told from all angles, but journalist Symmes (Chasing Che) attacks from a new direction. The author writes of Castro's schoolmates from Dolores, the private Jesuit academy in Santiago de Cuba on the island's eastern end, and he visits several of them. Many are in exile, and a handful remain in Cuba. Among the Dolores students were Castro's brothers Raul and Ramon and a future star in North American television, Desi Arnaz. But it is Cuban intellectuals like Lundy Aguilar to whom Symmes turns for insights into Cuba before and after Castro's revolution. The result is a remarkable account of the country and its people. The lengthy chapter on the Bay of Pigs and its aftermath is evocative and powerful, easily the equal of any contemporary writings on Cuba. The book certainly dispels the myth of a romantic revolution with egalitarian goals. As Symmes puts it, "Within the Revolution, everything. Outside the Revolution, nothing." Highly recommended.

Read an Excerpt
Miami Springs
"This has been a difficult year for the Sad Ones," Pedro Haber said, but before he could continue, there was a metallic purr, which grew quickly into a feedback loop. The sound squawked over the ballroom, a room full of wrinkled men in brown suits and ageless women in immovable bouffants. Pedro tried to continue. He said, "Four who regularly attend these reunions have fallen, God has them in all his glor—"
But he was cut off now, fatally. The screech made even a busboy put down his bread rolls and cover his ears. A devilish skeeeeeeeTWAAAAAAAAAweeeeeeSKEEEEE refracted off the rented glassware and the golf club plates, a piercing white noise like a fax machine in your head. Old, trembling hands rose reaching for hearing aids.
Pedro, class of '59, stood calmly and stared at the microphone. One more betrayal in a lifetime of disappointments.
Pedro ran the reunions because he was the most stalwart, reliable, and capable of the men from the old days. But this was exactly why he disliked being called on to manage things, yet again. He was a friend to everyone. He did nothing to deserve this. Stress was bad for a man his age. But duty was duty: at sixty-two years of age, he was one of the younger men in the room.
Unplug. Fiddle with knobs. Move cables. Start over. Forget to replug. Replug. Readjust knobs. Tap tap. "Can everyone hear me?" He was back in business. But nobody, all night, could handle the microphone. Not even the singer.
Pedro Haber didn't actually start by saying that it was "a difficult year for the Sad Ones." He had said that it was a difficult year for the Dolorinos. The word is rooted in dolor, meaning "pain, ache; sadness, grief." When Pedro said Los Dolorinos it sounded like all of those things, a world of aching and grieving, the ones who suffer. But it had another meaning, for these were the men who, as boys, came from a happy place. Dolores was their old school, the Catholic academy, run by Jesuits. The Colegio de Dolores where they had all met had been a boarding school in eastern Cuba, once upon a time. The sadness had come later.
Everyone in the room, from the busboys on up, spoke the twin languages of this nation-within-a-nation. But not everyone is equally ambidextrous, and thought and speech leapt between Cuba and the United States. At the far right of the room, near the entrance, was a special table reserved for VIPs and the guests of honor. Pedro Haber and I were sitting there, and the accents and vocabulary at this table were a mixture of proper upper-crust Castilian Spanish and plain American English. Two spots over to my right was Pedro Roig, a Dolores alumnus and Bay of Pigs veteran, who was now head of TV Martí in Washington. Immediately on my left was Lundy Aguilar, retired from his professorship at Georgetown University. And directly across the table was the Reverend Father Juan Manuel Dorta-Duque, one of the last surviving teachers from the old school in Cuba. He was a Jesuit, or more properly, a member of the Society of Jesus, perhaps the most influential of all Catholic orders. Dorta-Duque was eighty-four years old now, but that wasn't old enough to have known Fidel Castro. Dorta-Duque told me that he didn't arrive at Dolores until 1951. But he had known all the Jesuits who had taught Fidel, as well as some of the younger boys from those days, or the younger brothers of the boys who had studied with Fidel. Dorta-Duque lived in a Jesuit home now, retired from all work but that of joining his fellow Jesuits in their duties of worship and contemplation.
"Yes, I remember them," Dorta-Duque said, leaning forward. He meant that he remembered the students and teachers from long before the Revolution, when the future of the country was in the hallways of Dolores. "But they are all dead," he added.
One of them was sitting at the same table, actually. A survivor, just a few feet away. But Lundy Aguilar didn't hear the remark, and Dorta-Duque's mistake did no harm.
Two languages, two minds, a Cuban inside every American. Even here, at their own high school reunion, among their very own, they were unmoored, their homes, lives, even their manner of speech, somehow without footing.
Cuban exiles are on a journey that cannot be finished in one lifetime, a two-hundred-mile transmigration of the soul that is at once irreversible, and incompletable. The survivor suffers from temporal confusion, at once in eastern Cuba in 1941 and in Miami Springs in 2005. Equally at home in that lost Atlantis, the mythical Cuba from "before," and in the Dade County real estate market. What a difference between the old Santiago de Cuba, in the long-ago republic, in a time of youth, privilege, and revolution, and this age of old faces at a golf club near Miami International? Weren't these the same people? Like a snail, the exile carried his world along with him.
The phrase Los Dolorinos harked back to a starting point, before any expulsion from any garden. The Colegio de Dolores was the capital school of Cuba's second city, the best education available in eastern Cuba. The richest gathering of the richest part of Cuba, a school of the chosen few. All Pedro Haber had meant, what he truly said, was that they, the Dolorinos, had lost yet more friends. Four had fallen from the ranks this year. For this room of Cuban exiles, locked in an actuarial competition with Fidel Castro himself, attrition was a difficult subject.
The reunion was held in late September, the middle of a very bad hurricane season. There had been eleven inches of rain in a month. The water table was up to the grass. It had rained again this morning, hard. Low clouds, lit up by the ground beacons of Miami International, by the strip malls along Le Jeune, and by the floodlights of an industrial park across the road, scudded over the golf course. Turbulent and wet, the clouds passed without releasing drops, for now. Black patches of night sky winked in and out.
The old Dolorinos and their wives had started arriving en masse at 7:00 P.M., most of them not just on time for the cocktail hour, but early. Over the next hour heavy American cars kept rolling into the lot, and then the same progression of aged legs crossed the street. The grass lawn of the country club would hiss as someone explored the possibility of taking a shortcut. A dress shoe came back out of the grass with a sucking sound, and a high heel stabbed an indentation in the lawn that began to fill with runnels of silt. The click of heels on brick soon followed. These men and women, averaging somewhere in their early sixties, cut no corners. Moving slowly, often supporting each other, they made right-angle turns on the brick walkways, which were uneven and slicked with algae. The men, in a mixture of brown and black suits, or sometimes the long-sleeved guayaberas, were jovial, even the one who arrived using a walker. The women had formality and reserve. (It wasn't their reunion; Dolores was a boys school.) Or maybe the women had, in their upright carriage, just the composure required by cream gowns and structured black cocktail dresses, by shoulder wraps of the very gauziest pastels. Their hair was stiff. Usually short, a tropical reality, but fixed in uplifted constructions. Their lips and eyelashes were lacquered with precision. Even on the men, every hair was in place—brushed back, Brylcreemed, ordered and clipped. You had to draw the line somewhere and this was it: neatness of tonsure was a way of fighting back, of defending civilization against its enemies.
The banquet hall of the Miami Springs Country Club is called the Legends Room, but it isn't very big. There were 105 people in there by 8:00 P.M., and most of them were talking, a raucous atmosphere of jokes, bragging, disbelief, laughter, shouts, argument, and monologue, all of it bouncing off long tables of rented glass and dull knives. The crowd was prone to thick glasses and hearing aids, but functional, still able to dance and to argue. The men touched one another constantly, putting a hand on another's arm, pressing a shoulder in their grip, even clutching one another's lapels in a kind of menacing embrace. They wore pins in those lapels, showing off their allegience to political movements, their qualifications as survivors of various disasters, their enlistment in Masonic Lodges, the Elks, Lions, Odd Fellows, and Rotary, or ethnic allegiances, sporting clubs, religious leagues, cultural groups, charitable drives, and other bulwarks against the loss of everything. Ariel Dorfman, a Chilean, said that an exile had only two possessions, the language of his birthplace and the keys to a house that no longer exists. Cubans are joiners, filling their empty pockets with new things.
On the way into the Legends Room, the door charge was $5, collected as a donation to the welfare fund for impoverished alumni of the school. For that money, you received a printed program for the reunion event. It listed the speakers, and featured page after page of pictures, old shots of the Colegio de Dolores in Santiago. There were many of the students of past days, and shots of the signature buildings of Santiago and the surrounding region.
In America, someone is always standing by to sell you your history, so more of the same photography was available for sale at the back of the room. Two women in icy competition were selling similar arrays of souvenirs and memorabilia related to Cuba. Photographs and paintings. Antebellum cigar box labels. Stamps of the old Republic of Cuba. Tickets from the Spanish lottery. Coins. Most of it was fake.
They both had maps for sale. One, a reproduction of early Spanish cartography, showed Cuba in outline only, with the interior a blank unknown, a paradise of the imagination. Even in such an old map, you could see what Cubans always claimed to see, the island shaped like a sleeping alligator, snout to the west and the long thin body stretching out to the east, with the tail tucked back under the body to make the stubby shape of Oriente province. It mapped out well enough. Medallions around the borders of the old map showed the four winds, and the native peoples in their imagined costumes. There were modern maps for sale, but not too modern. The most recent maps were still fanciful in their way, also decorated around the edges with symbols of never-was Cuba. Thatched bungalows. The old capitol building in Havana, now abandoned because it looks exactly like the U.S. Capitol. An American navy ship steaming past eastern Cuba. Up north some seventeenth-century natives paddled canoes. Hokey peasants on carts with huge wheels rolled up the middle of the island, passing schematic palm trees.
In the south, somewhere near Grand Cayman, was a legend that said: THIS MAP HAS BEEN CREATED TO PRESERVE THE MEMORY, KNOWLEDGE, AND PATRIOTISM OF THE YOUNG CUBAN IN EXILE. And next to that was a list of "facts" about Cuba, including the statement that "Three fourths of all Cubans are white, of Spanish descent," which wasn't true in whatever past was being mapped here, and certainly isn't true today.
These were charts to a Cuba that didn't, hadn't, couldn't, and wouldn't exist. They were accurate in their way, though, as charts of the peculiar mental geography of Cuba in exile. Whether printed in great detail, framed and placed on a wall in a home, or distributed on disposable place mats in Cuban diners, these maps for exiles show a Cuba of six provinces, the original Spanish imperial demarcations dating back to the days of the Conquest. From west to east these six were Pinar del Río, Havana, Matanzas, Las Villas, Camagüey, and Oriente. Almost everyone here at the reunion tonight identified themselves as being oriental, an easterner, from around the region that surrounded Santiago de Cuba. There were a few Havana people here, because there were always Havana people. But no matter who you were, wherever you came from, when they asked you your place of origin you answered with one of those old names, the provinces.
That was Cuba, but that isn't Cuba. Oriente doesn't exist anymore. Fidel Castro had literally redrawn the map, turning the traditional six into a new fourteen. The old provinces and identifications were blown up and replaced with rational borders and, sometimes, names commemorating Castro's own life. Part of old Oriente was broken off and renamed Granma province, because Castro had run his boat Granma aground there. How could an exile say he was from such a place? The old Isle of Pines, where a young Castro had served jail time, had been split off to make a province called the Isle of Youth, contractually dedicated to education. Who could acknowledge such things?
They didn't sell accurate road maps, either. Never mind if Castro had built a new highway down the middle of Cuba, or that a better map would reveal all the satellite housing cities and rural polytechnic universities that had sprung up across Cuba. Nobody was going to that Cuba. The less accurate the map the better.
I browsed through some copies of old photographs of Santiago, with men in straw hats, and views of the bay, or the old Bacardi rum factory. Next down the table was a Havana telephone guide from 1959. This old phone book, full of period illustrations and corporate optimism, is the single best selling item at the Cuba Nostalgia Fair, a memorabilia mart that draws thirty thousand people to a convention center in Miami once a year.
The same brisk commerce was available the rest of the time from dozens of shops around the city: an endless supply of Cuban flag paintings, regional histories, and posters of Elián, the sacred child of the rafters, who was often shown being carried across the waves on a dolphin's back. Just the day before, driving along Calle Ocho in Little Havana, I'd counted four stores in seventeen blocks that specialized in memories of Cuba. The latest, Havana To-Go, featured "Made in Manzanillo" T-shirts. The owner wasn't even Cuban.

Statue of albino deer symbolizes history, spirit of White Deer
By KEVIN WELCH
Globe-News Correspondent
WHITE DEER - The striking statue of an albino deer, poised on a tall pedestal in the middle of Main Street, leaves visitors with no doubt that they have arrived in White Deer, an agricultural community that has changed with the times but exudes the atmosphere of yesterday's small town, sometimes with a Polish flavor.
Much of the area around the town was sold to farmers and ranchers at the turn of the century by White Deer Land Company, a British enterprise that took its name from a nearby creek, as did the town. An Indian legend told of an albino deer that was spotted grazing at the creek, giving the waterway its name, according to the Handbook of Texas.
It is unclear exactly when the statue began its vigil over White Deer. However, Bob Martin has lived in the town for all his 75 years and said he can never recall seeing Main Street without the mascot.
"The deer was there when we had mud streets," Martin said.
A summary history of White Deer, provided by the city, credits an itinerant cement artist as the creator of the statue. He was "paid from door-to-door donations of the residents to design the deer," the history recounts.
Before the town of White Deer existed, the N Bar N Ranch leased property, including the future townsite, from the British. As the land company began liquidating its holdings, the ranch's lease was not renewed. The N Bar N then moved its 25,000 head of cattle to Montana in one of the last great cattle drives in 1892, according to the city's summary history.
The Southern Kansas Railway of Texas arrived in Carson County in 1887 and, because of an existing water well dug by the White Deer Land Company, located its depot near the N Bar N headquarters.
The town that grew initially was known as Paton, then Whig and in 1889 it was named White Deer, according to the Handbook of Texas.
The railroad made increased settlement possible in the area, and White Deer became a source of supplies for the growing population. The ethnic makeup of White Deer became more diverse when Henry Czerner and Ben Urbanczyk established a community of Polish farmers near the town in 1909, according to the Handbook.
The descendants of these immigrants still reside in and around White Deer.
"We came here when I was 3 months old," said Isabel Urbanczyk, who will be 85 in November. "It was hard, but we made it. My father said he had $30 and a pair of harnesses when we got here from Nebraska."
The Polish remained a tight-knit group and built the Sacred Heart Catholic Church and cemetery, Isabel Urbanczyk said. The church's parish hall became the site of an annual polish sausage dinner in about 1928, a tradition that continues today.
The event attracts as many as 2,000 people to White Deer from around the Panhandle, and the Urbanczyk family still makes up the traditional sausage seasoning itself, Isabel Urbanczyk said.
The discovery of oil to the north of White Deer in 1928 helped boost the population of the town and diversify the agriculturally-based economy.
Tax revenue from oil production still benefits White Deer.
"Oil helps support the school. It has kept us out of trouble a lot of times," said Lois Hughes, a resident since 1946. "The school is very important to us, and a lot of people come and stay here because of it."
The community has sometimes had to struggle to keep its school. White Deer was hit by a tornado in 1947 and it took the school with it.
"It tore down a lot of houses and the high school had to be completely rebuilt," Martin said.
While White Deer still has the atmosphere of a small town, convenient transportation has allowed the town's residents to go elsewhere for employment, recreation and shopping.
"Now people work in Amarillo, Pampa and Borger," Martin said. "Also, the picture show, bowling alley and roller skating rink are gone."
Despite the changes, the white deer statue still stands vigil over this rural community, and the residents of White Deer have stepped in to fill some of the needs.
The town no longer has a medical clinic, but Hughes said White Deer's high quality ambulance system helps make up for that. She also said sororities and other groups such as the local Lions Club are continually helping projects with fund-raising activities.
Population: 1,125.
Location: 42 miles east of Amarillo in Carson County.
Railroad arrives: 1887.
How it got it's name: White Deer is the name of a creek, a cattle company and a town. Name is from an Indian legend that reported the spotting of an albino deer drinking from the creek.
"White Deer is just a good place to live," Mary K. Diggs said. "It is a good place because it's just not enough that everybody knows everybody, but if anybody is having trouble, somebody knows about it and everybody pitches in to help out."
Diggs has been a first-grade teacher at White Deer Elementary School for 33 years, and said the excellence of the school system is one of the reasons people continue to move to the town.
"White Deer is a wonderful place to raise kids and we have an excellent school," Diggs said. "We've been designated an exemplary school by the TEA (Texas Education Agency) four years in a row and most of our teachers have been here long enough to get to know their students and their families. The school works together well and we have good parental support in the district."
Aside from the school, Diggs said the strength of the town lies in its residents.
"White Deer is a town that has a core of hard-working people who take pride in our town," Diggs said. "I don't think I would change anything about White Deer, even if I could."
After growing up in White Deer and living in Houston for 22 years, Roberta Williams moved back in 1983 and believes she is getting to like the town all over again.
"I am just beginning to like White Deer a lot," Williams said. "And now I'm under some pressure to move to Tyler. It poses a bit of a dilemma for me.
"White Deer is a small town, but it is nice. The town has its problems, like all small towns do. They are always small problems and we get them solved pretty quick. White Deer must be pretty good because people want to live here and work in Pampa."
Williams said in moving back to White Deer from Houston she noticed many changes, not all of them good.
"When I was here before, farmers never let the weeds grow up at the edge of fields and along the fence lines," Williams said. " When I first came back it was very unsightly. But I noticed that lately the fence lines are looking better. Somebody told me it is because they're doing away with the fences.
"I have two grandchildren and two great-grandchildren living in Tyler now. They want me to move there. I really don't know what I want to do. I have some good friends here."
Tommy West has called White Deer home for 20 years. He describes it as a "good" type of a town.
"White Deer is so small that everybody is a neighbor." West said. "Everybody knows everybody else and everybody knows everybody's business. That isn't a big problem for me, I just mind my own business and I get along fine."
West is married and works at the White Deer grain elevator. His daughter is a senior at White Deer High School and his son is serving in the U.S. Navy. He said White Deer is a "laid-back type of town if you let it be."
"We have a large population of elderly people, but I believe the population is fairly stable." West said. "We had a larger population in the '70s, but I think we're holding steady right now."
One of the biggest assets of the community is the school system, West said.
"We have a top-notch school here with good teachers and a good curriculum," West said. "I think that convinces a lot of people to move here."
If he could change one thing about White Deer, West would provide more things for young people to do.
"We have a city park and a swimming pool, but a teen center would be nice," West said.
Joel Smith has a well-manicured putting green in front of his auto parts store and garage in White Deer. But the facility has provided less recreation than expected.
"I spend a lot more time working on it than I spend playing on it," Smith said. "That isn't exactly what I planned when I put it in."
Smith moved to White Deer in 1957, left for military service in 1967, then returned to stay in 1987.
"I feel that White Deer is a clean, friendly little town," Smith said. "I would say it is a pretty busy town, at least it is around my place all the time."
Although White Deer is primarily an agricultural town, Smith said some people come seeking the rural atmosphere and the benefits offered by rural schools.
"We have people living here who work in Borger, Pampa and at Pantex," Smith said. "The reasons are the excellent rural school system and the rural type of life offered by White Deer. People have to go elsewhere to make a living, but they come back to small towns to live because the way of life here is better."

JERUSALEM -- Syria has sent nearly 25 percent of its long- and medium-range missile arsenal to the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon, Kuwaiti newspaper Al Jarida quoted security sources in Jerusalem Thursday.
The sources said the missiles have the capability to reach all parts of Israel.
The report describes the assessment by Israeli military leaders that Syria is using Hezbollah as a proxy to provoke Israel, since Damascus has no interest in going directly to war with the Jewish state.
Israel's defense echelon believes that officers from both Syria and Iran are teaching Hezbollah fighters how to launch the missiles and how to activate early warning radar systems in Lebanon produced by Russia and China.
The report was published just three days after an explosion at the home of a Hezbollah member in southern Lebanon indicated a possible weapons cache was stored there.
Israel has demanded that the United Nations, which has nearly 13,000 peacekeepers in southern Lebanon, investigate the incident.
Missile and other military transfers to Hezbollah are a direct violation of U.N. Resolution 1701, the agreement that ended the 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.

Sparrows are finch-like birds. They have stout bodies, rounded wings and broad heads, with deep, conical bills adapted for seed-eating.
There are two UK species but several others in Europe, Asia and Africa (American 'sparrows' are not closely related).
They are social and loosely colonial when breeding. Most nest in cavities but some may nest in bushes or trees, building untidy nests of grass and assorted rubbish. They have no well-developed songs, but several variations on loud chirps and cheeps. Some species are closely associated with people.
Noisy and gregarious, these cheerful exploiters of man's rubbish and wastefulness, have managed to colonise most of the world. The ultimate avian opportunist perhaps. Monitoring suggests a severe decl... More...

Mega Man X Collection
The cluster-blue-bomber.
Fortunately, Capcom's done more good than bad here -- for starters, they've sorted out the issues that plagued 2004's Mega Man Anniversary Collection. The sometimes-janky port quality has been polished up, for starters, making MMXC one of the most solid and faithful compilations to date.
That's especially impressive considering the vintage of the games being presented here. This isn't a handful of ancient Intellivision titles or something equally simple; the Mega Man X series started on Nintendo's Super NES and upgraded to PlayStation a few years later. Somehow, Capcom has managed to pull off absolutely rock-solid ports of these 16- and 32-bit games. The SNES ports are particularly impressive given that Mega Man X2 and X3 were among the most complex titles on the system, packed with expensive co-processor chips that enabled some very gimmicky 3D effects. Every last trick is reproduced with aplomb, and the controls for all the games feel every bit as tight as in their original versions. Best of all, Capcom listened to fan complaints about the unchangeable, reversed controls in the GameCube version of MMAC. Neither GC nor PS2 gamers need worry about being saddled with an awkward interface.
The one shortcoming to affect the SNES trilogy is looping music -- it seems that rather than try to emulate the console's sophisticated Sony sound processor Capcom settled for streaming audio, which is only noticeable if you spend too long clearing out a stage. It's a minor issue, and considering the overall quality of the ports is absolutely negligible.
There have been a few minor modifications made to the games, although they're somewhat inconsistent. Strangely, the original MMX appears to have had its dialogue touched up, while the horrendous translations in X4-X6 are untouched. (Hope you like your bad guys named after members of Guns 'N' Roses.) However, there is a major change to X6 -- the Japanese-language voice acting has been removed, leaving the entire game vocal-free.
In terms of value, it's hard to top MMXC. $30 hardly seems like much to pay for seven games, especially considering MMX2 and X3 each sell for $60 or more on eBay. And the seventh title in the collection, Mega Man Battle & Chase, has never before been released in the U.S., period. Futhermore, the version of X3 compiled here is the Japan-only PlayStation port featuring extra video clips. Which is to say, there's a lot of value on a single disc.
There is not, however, a lot of variety, which is easily the collection's biggest weakness. Every game (save for MMB&C, a kart racer) is a 2D platform shooter built around a very limited formula: Fight eight bosses, collect their weapons, challenge Sigma in a multi-part final showdown. If you're not into this particular format, you'll find MMXC downright torturous.
Worse, the quality of the games plots an unmistakable downward spiral the minute you complete the original MMX, leading to the absolutely execrable MMX6. Since all six games adhere carefully to the intro stage/eight bosses/four Sigma stages structure, each one tries to differentiate itself in ever more bizarre ways. This begins subtly; Mega Man X2 cleaves to the first game's mechanics while allowing a small bit of bonus variety to the plot based on whether or not you manage to recover all the stolen parts of Mega Man's friend Zero. X3 actually allows Zero to be an active character, albeit in an extremely limited capacity, and X4 goes a step above by giving Zero his own story and special skills -- making it arguably the best game on the disc. But X5 implements an odd game dynamic which forces players to recover all the components of a planetary defense system within a certain time limit, and your success in the game is based (somewhat randomly) on how effectively you round up the parts. Finally, the compilation ends on the sour note of X6, which tries too hard to innovate and ends up a complete mess; the game's flaws are quite frankly beyond the scope of this review to enumerate. Long story short, it's crap.
Fortunately, the failings of the later games don't make the original any less fantastic, but having all six in close proximity definitely throws the series' drop in quality into high relief. There was an impressive amount of care and detail put into the first X title: Enemies snicker with self-satisfaction every time they score a hit on Mega Man, bosses have unique reactions when hit with the weapon to which they're weak, and completing certain stages under specific conditions affects other areas of the game. (Defeat Chill Penguin while he's causing a blizzard, for instance, and Flame Mammoth's stage freezes over.) By and large, these little details slowly vanish from the series as each game becomes more of a rote exercise through a formula. It's clear that there was a lot of heart put into MMX, and had the same amount of care and attention been given to its sequels this would be a must-have collection for everyone.
As it is, MMXC is targeted directly at the series' staunch fanbase...as with seemingly anything involving Mega Man these days, honestly. Unless you really, really like the franchise, this collection will do nothing whatsoever for you -- it's six largely identical games of varying quality. For those who can't get enough of that robo-rock/paper/scissors action, the exceptional quality of these ports (and the promise of a "new" spin-off) should be more than enough to offset the repetition. Otherwise, though, MMXC is just more of the same...times six.

Reconnected due to the latest Retronauts episodePosted: May 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by Colorwind
After listening to the latest Retronauts episode (as of 5/4/2011), I was reminded of this series to my delight. Made me want to play all the game in succession. Up to X6 anyways. I can't stand them beyond that point.

text: Home > Regions Illegal dog fighting busted in Laguna ABS-CBN News Posted at Mar 31 2012 08:43 PM | Updated as of Apr 01 2012 07:47 PM Share Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest MANILA, Philippines – Authorities have raided an underground dog fighting ring in San Pablo, Laguna, leading to the arrest of two Koreans believed to be the operators. The Koreans are allegedly part of the same group who were arrested for the same offense in Indang, Cavite last December 2011. "Itong mga Koreans, sila rin 'yung nahuli sa Indang, Cavite. I recommended that they be put on the hold departure watch list by the Department of Justice," said Chief Inspector Reynaldo Magdaluyo of the Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (PNP-CIDU). The suspects, who could not speak English, were not able to present their passports to the authorities. They will face charges for violating the Animal Welfare Law and illegal gambling, said Magdaluyo. The illegal dog fighting, held inside a makeshift arena in a soundproofed San Pablo home, is viewed live by the participants through television cameras. The viewers place their bets using their credit cards online. The fights are held at least twice a week. Authorities said daily earnings from the illegal fights reach P1 million to P2 million. Also recovered from the den were 30 fighting dogs kept in cages. Police are investigating if the Korean operators hired Filipinos to assist them in the illegal operation. -- Report from Jacque Manabat, ABS-CBN News Share Facebook Share on Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest Read More: Korean fighting laguna Cavite dogs CIDG illegal san pablo /news/09/26/16/duterte-asks-what-if-there-is-no-god/sports/09/26/16/nus-alejandro-diputado-glad-to-regain-form/entertainment/09/26/16/paolo-ballesteros-movie-to-compete-in-tokyo-film-fest/business/09/26/16/duterte-to-announce-new-round-of-salary-increases-for-military-and-police/news/09/26/16/dating-barangay-captain-natagpuang-patay-sa-ilocos-sur

Kim Zetter's Wired News article, Podcast Chaos Be Gone, takes a look at some of the search tools out there that allow you to keyword search the transcripts (creating using speech recognition technology) of podcasts and then allow to listen online. Several have been mentioned on the SEW Blog in the past. They include:
+ Podzinger
+ Blinkx
+ Podscope
The article focuses on the new Podzigner service from Boston-based BBN. The company says they plan to, "roll out similar tools the public can use to search online video and radio content, but is focusing first on podcasts because of their recent popularity boom."
A couple of quick comments in addition to my comments in the article:
+ "Podscope has operated a keyword search engine for video and radio broadcasts since 1999." This fee-based service is called TVEyes and I did mention its name to the writer several times. Here's an interview from Robin Good with the TVEyes CEO, David Ivess.
+ I also mentioned that fee-based services like ShadowTV, Fednet.net and CriticalMention also
offer near real-time searching of TV and some radio and have been around for years.
+ StreamSage and Nexidia are also doing work in transcript search
+ Finally, Podscope will also index non-podcast material as we pointed out in this blog post. Blinkx also indexes video blogs.

RIGHT there with ya!!!!
It's never easy to feel misunderstood, and I think that's one of the many common denominators we share. I have felt that way for a long time. That I was missing the key to unlocking my true reality. That inside our very souls, we've always known there's something bigger. Something better. Something we crave, yet we can't identify it therefore we have no way to know how to reach it.
In comparison, we're not unlike the moths that will be drawn to a light...we want & need something brighter in our lives & because we don't know what that is, we sometimes end up chasing our tails for many years.
I'm having an emotional moment here, so please bare with me as I get my thoughts in order
I've always believed that things happen for a reason. Have ~known~ that from a very young age. The feeling of being set on a path in life, knowing that we will experience both good times & bad. That every moment we share, every thought we have, is meant to be a lesson in life. Sorta like the badges the kids earn in girl/boy scouts.
We have free will, and sometimes will veer off the 'straight & narrow'....but because we do have our own versions of 'magnetic north'.....we usually find our path again. Not always, but most of the time.
However, the lessons not learned the first time will need to be repeated over & over until we do.
Those are often referenced as being the 'ruts' of life.
"yeah, I'll be okay, but I gotta find a better job...I'm just in a rut right now"
Every life experience also has an opposite lesson. Something that keeps it in balance with everything else, and the opposite of the 'rut' is 'cloud nine'
"OMG!! I'm on cloud nine!! I just got a promotion at work!!"
Without these karmic ups & downs, there would be no lessons learned. Because how can you truly appreciate the good parts if you've never experienced the bad? You'd not have a point of reference in which to learn anything, ya know?
There are changes that are happening to me on an (almost) daily basis. The 'awakening' people talk about. I hadn't been aware of all these energies around me until recently. If I went shopping or out to eat with the family, I just didn't notice them. I was unaffected by them.
Whomever mentioned the 'shadow' people & things 'moving' (that shouldn't be)...thank you, thank you, thank you...
I'm not sure you can understand how that feels unless you've been in the same position. It's frightening & very worrisome because you do start to question your own sanity.
What about the negative auras? So many people have this black layer of 'goo' around them. It's not really a good thing or a bad thing....it's just not pleasant to be around them. Maybe similar as someone at the end of a 90* day after working in the yard for 8 hours straight. They're dirty...sweaty....they want to take a shower before being social cuz THEY feel gross & uncomfortable.
It's not their fault, of course....but it's there and you both KNOW it's there. They pull away from you while you're backing up from them. Even if it's done on a subconcience level. This uncomfortable knowledge between the two of you, yet nothing is said because we're taught growing up to be nice to each other...taught to be polite.
Unless I really have to, I've been isolating myself quite a bit because I don't know how to process whatever this is....I don't have a point of reference in which to know what I should or should not do with these people. I can't make them wake up, yet I'm constantly saddened at being unable to help them.....it becomes a very strange dance. Not because you ~want~ to avoid them, but because you don't know what to do to help.
Very confusing to try and explain.
Have you ever had a phrase, thought, or part of a movie script get caught up in your head? Something long-term? Something that, although you may not understand it at the time, you're fixated with it. To the point of becoming OCD-ish about being able to decipher what it means, and trying to understand
it stays with you.
You know it's important in some way, but have no way of knowing what that is. Like a foreign word with no means to translate it's meaning.
If you've not seen the movie 'What Dreams May Come'.....I highly reccommend you watch it. There's something about that film that I feel I'm somehow connected to, altho I honestly couldn't tell you what it is.
I first seen the movie about 10 years ago....was immediately obsessed with it's meaning. Knew that there was a special message intended...maybe meant only for me..... I'm not sure.
There's a specific part in that movie from the character played by Cuba Gooding Jr. From the first second I heard it, I've known it's a 100% fact. The real-deal. No way someone can tell me it's 'just a movie line'...No way at all. Even though up until a few months ago, I had no idea what it referenced, why it stuck with me, and I'm only now beginning to understand it's meaning.
The line was:
'we're seeing what we choose to see..... thought is real. It's the physical that's the illusion, ironic, huh?'
I found the clip...start at about 4:00.
Please verify you're human:

Rumors have started to fly that Chris Paul wants out of New Orleans. The point guard claims he wants to win championships. If the Hornets aren't committed to winning, he wants out.
With Paul possibly on the trading block, teams all over the NBA have to be salivating over the chance to get arguably the best point guard in the league.
Although a deal for Paul hypothetically might not happen, it's still fun to think of the point guard leaving the Hornets and joining another team.
Imagine the combo of Paul and Lebron James. What about the combo of Paul and Joe Johnson in Atlanta? Or Paul with Dwight Howard in Orlando?
If a deal comes to fruition, one team will be receiving one of the best point guards in the league.
With all the talk of a trade, here are the 10 teams Paul would fit in better with outside of New Orleans.

How to Pick Out a Leather Sofa for Your Home and Lifestyle
How to Pick Out a Leather Sofa for Your Home and Lifestyle. If you are in the market for a new leather sofa or sectional, make sure you do your research. Leather is a very durable material on furniture. It can last up to five times longer than regular upholstery and is very easy to care for. But there are different grades of leather that need extra care, so if you have children or pets, you will need to make sure that you are choosing the right sofa.
Step 1
Understand the differences in styles and grades of leather. When shopping for a leather piece of furniture, you will notice they sell in a wide range of prices. Most of the time this is due to higher grades of leather vs. lower grades as well as 100 percent leather and leather vinyl matches. Learn the differences so that you will know whether or not you are getting something that will last, something that is priced fairly, and what is easier to care for.
Step 2
If you are purchasing a leather sofa that is 100 percent top grain leather with a higher grade leather, expect to spend quite a bit more. A leather sofa that is split grain (that is usually made from the second layer of skin and is sometimes made into a suede or into shoes) and lower grade of leather will be under $1000. Grades of leather are determined by the condition of the hide or skin when it is first examined. A skin with more markings, mosquito bites, barbed wire markings, and other issues falls into a lower grade. The leather will be buffed and corrected to make it look better, but it will be priced lower because it isn't showing much of its natural beauty anymore. The hides in higher grade leathers are in better condition, so less maintenance is done and they are worth more.
Step 3
If you have kids, you can buy a sofa with a protectant on it. It is usually found in a lower grade of leather (which can look as nice as a higher grade, but may not be as soft and supple as the more expensive high grade). You can buy the 100 percent top grain leather and pay a little more or select the 100 percent leather with the split grain on the sides. Split grains are a little less sturdy, but they are still more durable than upholstery.
Step 4
If you are looking for a good quality leather sofa, do not have any kids to worry about, and price isn't much of an issue, look at a full grain sofa (which require little correction on the hides and are very soft and supple).
Step 5
You will find that leather reclining sofas are quite a bit more, especially if it has 100 percent leather. To save a little extra you can look at leather with leather match sides. The vinyl match is such a good replica that you wouldn't know the difference.
