Actually, when you thought you saw John Wayne doing something like that it was really Yakima Canute
Dallas last weekend.
Actually, around here it can sometimes take 3 hrs to drive 30 miles.
That would be the day I had a flat.
Nearly all submissions are done electronically these days. When hard copy ms were submitted you had the option to also send self addressed, postage paid packaging for the return or just a self addressed envelope for your rejection/acceptance to come in. Very few agents will rep children's picture books because the payout is so small. 15% of just a little bit is a really little bit.
Lol, a good writer's workshop like DFWWW could teach her how to write a query letter 'cause that's not it!
I don't know about characters in comics but I do about those in regular fiction. Sometimes they have a lot more free will than the fiction writer would like.
Except that copy write is upon creation, not publication, at least in most writing. Maybe it's different in comics?
Does the sub head say "…cany corn…"

RUSH: Mark Steyn has just pointed out in a little blog post, an ironic line about Tamerlan Tsarnaev that is in the New York Times. And I must admit I missed this. The New York Times has a line about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Quote, "He was angry that the world pictures Islam as a violent religion." So obviously Tamerlan set out to change that perception. Tamerlan Tsarnaev sitting there ticked off that people picture Islam as a violent religion, so he says, "I'll show them," and blows up the Boston Marathon. Honestly, folks, I am not making this up.
And from the Boston Globe: "Russia Contacted US Government 'Multiple' Times on Concerns" about Tamerlan Tsarnaev. But the FBI, "Well, okay," but were unable to track him for some reason. The suspect's former brother-in-law says there were other people involved now. Let's go to audio sound bite 27. This on CNN this morning. Wolf Blitzer is interviewing Elmirza Khozhgov, ex-brother-in-law of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. And Wolf said, "Do you believe these two brothers acted alone, or were they involved in any other terror groups?"
KHOZHGOV: I believe that there are other people involved.
BLITZER: When you say other people involved, what does that mean? (crosstalk)
KHOZHGOV: -- some movement. I mean some extremist terrorists -- not terrorists, but like extreme -- extremely radical people, not -- don't want to point out the religion itself because it's a peaceful religion, but there are people who are preaching it the wrong way, probably, so I believe yes, there are some people involved.
RUSH: Yeah, that's the ex-brother-in-law of Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Elmirza Khozhgov. What is it with American media people? This guy says, "I believe there were other people involved." Blitzer says, "When you say other people involved, what does that mean?" It's like Diane Sawyer yesterday said, "Pierre, what does it mean he's in custody?" "Well, Diane, it means the police have him, he's in police custody." Oh. Like recycling. So yesterday Diane Sawyer, "What's custody mean." Wolf today, "What do you mean, other people involved? What does that mean?"
RUSH: Laurie in Pittsburgh, we go back to Pittsburgh, great to have you on the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Hi, Rush. I wanted to bring up something I've been thinking about. Is there a possibility that what's happening with the bombers -- I can't say their name 'cause I'm brutalize them -- there could be like generational envy or generational guilt? And let me explain that, as a theory I have. Like I can use Barack Obama as an example. Up until he was an 18-year-old in high school going to that private school, he was Barry Soetoro. Then he became aware. He wanted to get down with the struggle. He started, you know, there's multiple things where he then, because the generational envy he felt of not being part of the sixties and radical and protesting and all the things that went on there, he, in his own way, took the path of socialism and became a radical in his own way.
RUSH: Now, folks, before you have a conniption here, there is something to this. Obama himself has spoken of regretting missing living in the sixties --
CALLER: Exactly, generational envy.
RUSH: The tumult, he wished he would have been around when that was happening. He has spoken of that.
CALLER: Yeah.
RUSH: Okay.
CALLER: And you can apply that to these two brothers. Their parents went through a struggle, and the struggle they went through in Russia, I mean, and the things that happened over in Russia, they come in here to America --
RUSH: So wait. Are you asking if these two guys did it because they wanted to get involved in what they thought were good times that they missed?
CALLER: I think it could be a guilt of them not having participated in that.
RUSH: You mean, the jihad happened and all they've got is the T-shirt?
CALLER: Exactly, or here they are living the Shahs of Sunset lifestyle, which is a television show on Bravo, and their parents talk about how bad they had it. So, in essence, they have a guilt complex now that they didn't live through that, therefore they embrace it, they radicalize it and this is the radical course they take.
RUSH: Well, I had not considered this. Why are you? What steered you to this?
CALLER: Because you see it so often. It exists so much, just like Barack Obama, it exists.
RUSH: I know, but let's leave Obama out of it.
CALLER: Okay --
RUSH: -- were you not satisfied --
CALLER: -- take it from the concept of people can go multiple ways with this sort of guilt or envy.
RUSH: Are you not satisfied with the explanations we've been given so far?
CALLER: I agree that's part of it, but I think this is not being looked at, you know, here they are living a completely different life than what their parents lived, and maybe being told this all the time and then looking at the conditions back in their own country and that this concept of what their generation, their generation, what they had, there was a guilt or an envy there. And I think that could be a part of it.
RUSH: Well, maybe.
CALLER: I don't know that anybody's looking at that.
RUSH: I don't know how much guilt or envy there was. You gotta have some hate here.
CALLER: I agree. I agree. It's how you take what people are saying. Like, if you take it and you make it this wonderful thing and it's the level to which you take what your guilt of that generational, you know, the whole being separated by that generation.
RUSH: Yeah.
CALLER: Do you take it to a case of hate, in their case.
RUSH: Right.
CALLER: Like, for example, you can take it to extreme for them, which is hate, the bombing, or the small extreme of the Mercedes that got hijacked that had a --
RUSH: Look, all this is well and good, but it's a fun exercise to get into why they did it or what radicalized them, but I'm not interested in it from a standpoint that, "Well, this will help us prevent the next one." I don't want excuses to eventually be made for these guys, and that's what's starting. I'm not saying you are, but people are making excuses for these guys, "Well, radicalized by an imam. Well, Afghanistan and Iraq. Well, the American foreign policy's to blame for it." These guys knowing built the bombs, learned how to do it and set 'em off, and there are 260 people injured, lost limbs, people have died, and that's, to me, the fundamental point of this.
They're bad guys. How they got that way, we can surmise. Anyway, look, Laurie, I appreciate the call. I'm not trying to diminish what you're saying 'cause I don't know. That theory could be right on the money.

Tilebrick replicates a tile-hung wall elevation without any of the hassle involved in traditional tile hanging. Tilebrick is also more robust than vertical tiling and is virtually maintenance free.
By using clever profiled edges and a tile-shaped front face, the extruded clay units look just like tile hanging when mortared together.
Just one trade can fix it; tilers, plumbers and joiners are not required as there are no tiles, battens, nails, felt or lead flashings and dressings.
By taking time, cost and wastage out of the supply process, it is Egan-friendly which will appeal to modern construction companies and their clients.

GREENSBURG – Decatur County Schools are hosting a disaster exercise Friday afternoon to complete the training of the first "Student CERT Team" for the school corporation.
After the training is complete twenty-four students will be recognized as "Community Emergency Response Team" members. It will allow the school corporation to place a rapid student response team in each of the county high schools. Students receive disaster medical training, triage training, fire suppression, and incident command training before course graduation.
"Friday's exercise will put the students through their paces in all the areas they trained in over the last three days," said Johnny Budd, superintendent of Decatur County Community Schools.
"In a rural community with only two on-duty ambulances a group of trained in-house responders is vital to our ability to provide necessary self-help until additional emergency services can arrive."
The school corporation received a grant from the Indiana Department of Homeland Security earlier this year. As a result, the school hired the first ever School Resource Officer and have taken other safety measures.
The safety grants were intended to take an all hazard approach and not specifically focused on school violence.
Friday's training takes place at the Decatur County Sheriff's Department.

President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton released statements on the submission of the Korea, Colombia, and Panama Trade Agreements to Congress on October 3, 2011. President Obama said:
"The series of trade agreements I am submitting to Congress today will make it easier for American companies to sell their products in South Korea, Colombia, and Panama and provide a major boost to our exports. These agreements will support tens of thousands of jobs across the country for workers making products stamped with three proud words: Made in America. We've worked hard to strengthen these agreements to get the best possible deal for American workers and businesses, and I call on Congress to pass them without delay, along with the bipartisan agreement on Trade Adjustment Assistance that will help workers whose jobs have been affected by global competition."
Secretary Clinton echoed President Obama's statement. She said:
"The Free Trade Agreements that President Obama submitted to Congress today demonstrate our commitment to strengthen our economic leadership around the world. They are critical to building open, free, transparent, and fair economic platforms in the Asia Pacific and South America. Our foreign policy must deliver results for the American people. These agreements will make it easier for American companies to sell their products in South Korea, Colombia, and Panama, and that will create jobs here at home.
"The stakes are not just economic. These are three important partners in strategically vital regions. Countries everywhere are watching. Passing these deals proves that America can deliver for our friends and allies. It strengthens our leadership around the world.
"It's time to put these trade deals to work on behalf of the American people. I urge Congress to approve these agreements as soon as possible. Our economic competitors are building trade relationships around the world and we cannot afford to be left behind."

"Wash Off That Ash – Not Just Yet"
A Prayer: From Psalm 57:1-17 (NRSV)
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned,
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are justified in your sentence
and blameless when you pass judgement.
Indeed, I was born guilty,
a sinner when my mother conceived me.
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and put a new and right spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence,
and do not take your holy spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and sustain in me a willing spirit.
O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
For you have no delight in sacrifice; if I were to give a burnt-offering, you would not be pleased.
The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise
Scripture: Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21 (CEB)
"Be careful that you don't practice your religion in front of people to draw their attention. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
"Whenever you give to the poor, don't blow your trumpet as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets so that they may get praise from people. I assure you, that's the only reward they'll get. But when you give to the poor, don't let your left hand know what your right hand is doing so that you may give to the poor in secret. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you.
"When you pray, don't be like hypocrites. They love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners so that people will see them. I assure you, that's the only reward they'll get. But when you pray, go to your room, shut the door, and pray to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees what you do in secret will reward you."
"And when you fast, don't put on a sad face like the hypocrites. They distort their faces so people will know they are fasting. I assure you that they have their reward. When you fast, brush your hair and wash your face. Then you won't look like you are fasting to people, but only to your Father who is present in that secret place. Your Father who sees in secret will reward you."
"Stop collecting treasures for your own benefit on earth, where moth and rust eat them and where thieves break in and steal them. Instead, collect treasures for yourselves in heaven, where moth and rust don't eat them and where thieves don't break in and steal them. Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

We recognize the power of women to spur business and economic growth around the world. Over the next decade, the potential impact of women on the global economy — as producers, entrepreneurs, employees and consumers — will be at least as significant as that of China and India. Yet there is a wide gap between potential and present-day reality.
Women's access to boardroom seats is alarmingly slight, even in developed markets, and in many rapid-growth markets, women have few or no rights to own property, little access to education and stringent social and cultural restrictions against joining the labor force.
While notable progress has been made toward gender equality, much more remains to be done to open the playing field for women's equal participation in business, sport, society and the economy.
EY is proud to support and convene inspiring women around the world through collaboration, sponsorship and networks, covering the public, private and nonprofit sector. And even before women begin their careers, we are helping girls access the right skills so that they can become inspiring young women and future leaders.
As a global employer of more than 175,000 people in more than 150 countries, we understand the critical business importance of gender equity. We have been recognized as a leader in fostering a global workplace culture where people can achieve their potential.
We don't pretend to have all the answers, but we want to advance the dialogue. Read more about our programs, thought leadership and commitments.

Oak Ridge, TN – The US government's only facility for handling, processing and storing weapons-grade uranium has been temporarily shut after anti-nuclear activists, including an eight-two-year-old nun, breached security fences.
"They broke in here," said a facility administrator as he pointed to a very detailed map of the grounds. "Then they made their way across this field, here, through the blind spot in our security cameras, here and here, and then gained entry into our building using this open window, here." He tapped on the map and added, "this should never happen at a secure facility."
"Why would anyone want to attack us?" asked a plant worker. "We're just trying to make a living by assembling weapons of mass destruction. They haven't been used yet, so it's not like we're killing billions." He wiped the sweat off his brow and added, "yet."
The Church called the break-in "not sanctioned by us", "of all the break-ins we've organized over the last thousand years, we never thought we'd be accused of this one" and "by the way, we stole your grandmother's necklace whilst conducting this interview. We're slightly richer!"
"Now the world's attention is on nuclear proliferation," said an activist. "We- what? Phelps got number twenty? Amazing. Guys, come here, they're replaying the race. Wow, look at him go. Shhhhhhhh, this is far more important."

There are days where you would dress in frumpy black or bright colours vice versa to suit the season and mood, but on a blasting hot heatwave it is impossible to wear dark colour letting the colour say black, absorbing the heat from the sun and end it feeling like steam sauna underneath a clothing, and bright colour that will blind others.
Neutral tones like white, off grey, beige and nude will help your body heat to cool down, tried and tested as seen above. A simple elegance.

A national championship performance deserves some championship-caliber bling.
And the Duke Blue Devils' rings certainly fit that description.
The team was honored with the rings during halftime of the football team's game against Boston College earlier this month.
Fifth-year senior Ned Crotty also was recognized for being named the 2010 Tewaaraton Trophy winner as the nation's top male lacrosse player and as the ACC Male Athlete of the Year. Overall Duke had five players earn All-America accolades, while head coach John Danowski was named the USILA National Coach of the Year.
And, the team picked up a good number of the coveted Inside Lacrosse Laxies this season.
Take a look at our fallball checkin with the Blue Devils.

Connecticut Cop Who Said He'd Love to "Bang Down Your Door and Come For Your Gun" Placed On Leave
As a first step towards gun confiscation, Connecticut is implementing gun registration. That has turned tens of thousands of formerly law abiding citizens in the state who've refused to comply into felons. Now, the state is trying to figure out what to do next. If the "next" thing officials decide to do is door-to-door gun confiscation, there's at least one police officer who wants everyone to know that he'll be just following orders when he puts a gun to your head in order to take away your Second Amendment rights.
A Connecticut officer with the Branford Police Department has reportedly been placed on extended leave pending the outcome of an internal investigation after he allegedly told a Facebook user he couldn't wait to "bang down your door and come for your gun."
Connecticut resident John Cinque, whose passionate remarks to lawmakers on the state's new gun registration laws went viral, provided screenshots of a Facebook conversation involving Officer Joseph Peterson to the conservative blog Freedom Outpost. The officer is reportedly a "long-time friend" of Cinque's.
The heated debate reportedly began over Connecticut's new gun control law that technically turned gun owners who refuse to register their semi-automatic rifles and/or high-capacity magazines into felons overnight.
After some unfriendly conversation, Peterson – who was off-duty – eventually wrote: "I give my left nut to bang down your door and come for your gun …… you idiot grow up." Giving the officer the benefit of the doubt, it's technically possible he could have been attempting humor.
Police Capt. Geoffrey Morgan, of the Branford Police Department, reportedly informed Freedom Outpost that Peterson has been placed on extended leave over the incident. Further, Police Chief Kevin Halloran reportedly confirmed the allegation to the Brandford Seven.
"We treat every complaint to our agency concerning our officers with the utmost of seriousness. This, like any other allegation will be thoroughly investigated and if any law, departmental rule or regulation has been violated the officer will be held accountable," he reportedly said.
As someone who supports law and order, I am generally supportive of the police, but I don't support any officer or police force that supports gun confiscation. Anyone who's willing to work towards gun confiscation today will be willing to put a gun to your head tomorrow. I'm sorry if that puts some police officers in a tough position, but doing the right thing isn't always supposed to be easy.

American Express and the US Travel Association (a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting US travel) have partnered to offer discounts and deals with various travel brands and loyalty programs during the next month, including hotel packages, points/miles purchase promos, rental car discounts and more. These deals are called the Daily Getaways.
Each day we'll hash out the details of that day's deal to see whether it's worth taking advantage of.
Today's deal goes live at 1 pm EDT, and you can sign up for alerts if you'd like to be notified when the deals go live.
All of these promotions have the added benefit that you can receive an additional 10% for purchasing with an Amex card, like the Platinum and Premier Rewards Gold, or even co-branded cards like Delta Gold and the Starwood Preferred Guest Amex.
Daily Getaway For Thursday, May 22: Alamo Gift Certificates
- $50 certificate for $25 (2,000 available)
This seems like a pretty cut and dry deal. If you like Alamo and you often rent cars with them, this deal offers a way to save money. There are plenty available, so purchasing this deal shouldn't be too difficult.
Keep in mind that the deal states you can only use these certificates at participating locations. Alamo says that once you purchase, Alamo will email you the purchased certificate(s) within 5 business days along with detailed information on how to redeem your certificate either by phone or online. I assume this email will also inform you of any locations where the certificate is invalid. Be wary if you have a specific location in mind for redemption, because that location might be excluded. If you aren't attached to one location or will have multiple opportunities to use the certificate, this deal seems like easy money (especially with the Amex discount).
Other terms to remember are that the gift certificates will only be applied to the base rate, and you will still have to pay for taxes and other charges. You can buy up to three certificates, but if you want to make a reservation using more than one, you must call 1-866-626-9102 to do so.

Making college more affordable for American families has continued to be a key priority for the Obama Administration, and in August, President Obama proposed a comprehensive plan to address rising college costs and increase college affordability and value. Since his announcement, Department and Administration officials have traveled the country and met with a variety of higher education leaders to hear their thoughts about the three components of President Obama's plan: paying colleges and students for performance, promoting innovations that cut costs and improve quality, and helping students manage their debt.
As part of the proposal to pay college and students for performance, the Department is developing a college ratings system that will better inform families about college value and affordability and encourage institutions to improve, while ensuring that disadvantaged students are served well. Last week, we were excited to announce the first of four opportunities for the general public to interact with Department officials, as well as the broader education community, and share their ideas about how to develop the ratings and address the key themes of college access, affordability and outcomes.
Today, Secretary Duncan announced three additional open forums, in addition to other outreach efforts and events:
- California State University, Dominguez Hills in Carson, Calif., on Nov. 6
- George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., on Nov. 13
- University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa, on Nov. 15
- Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, La., on Nov. 21
Over the coming months, we plan to engage as many stakeholder groups and individuals as possible to help us develop college ratings that are useful to students and take into account the diversity of America's colleges and universities. As part of our outreach announcement today, we are also unveiling a new College Affordability and Completion website that will host updated information, including details on timing and registration for the open forums, as well as new outreach events.
The public forums will build on the Department's outreach activities already underway and will coincide with the Department's upcoming Request for Information (RFI) to ask data experts and researchers to weigh in on methods for creating college ratings. Since the President's announcement, officials have met in Los Angeles, Boston, Chicago, and Washington, D.C, with groups including the American Association of State Colleges and Universities, the Historically Black Colleges and University Presidents' Board of Advisors, the American Council on Education, student leadership associations, independent college groups in Massachusetts and California, presidents from Hispanic-Serving Institutions – and over the next few weeks will meet with community college and business leaders, parents, students, faculty, and more.
We want feedback from students and parents, state officials, college presidents from a variety of institutions, higher education faculty and administrators, businesses and industry leaders, researchers, data experts, higher education associations, innovators, philanthropies, policy leaders and others. If you can't join us for an open forum, please submit your ideas by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com or by mail to the U.S. Department of Education headquarters in D.C. at the following address:

NEWS RELEASEFrom the Office of State Senator Rodney Ellis
For Immediate Release April 1, 1997 Contact: Rick Svataro, (512) 463-0113
Senator Ellis Proposes New Texas HOPE Scholarship Instant Ticket Lottery Game to Provide Free Tuition to High-performing Texas Students
AUSTIN, Tx. -- State Senator Rodney Ellis (D-Houston) today proposed creating a new Texas HOPE Scholarship instant ticket lottery game to fund free tuition grants for high-performing Texas students. Ellis' Texas HOPE Scholarship Program (Senate Bill 180), which would provide free college tuition to eligible high school graduates who maintain a B-average and agree to participate in community service, is currently pending in the Senate Finance Committee.
"Every Texan deserves the chance to earn a college education," Ellis said. "Creating a new Texas HOPE Scholarship instant ticket game would open the doors to a college education for thousands of hard-working Texas students."
Ellis said he wants to direct the Texas Lottery Commission to establish, market and advertise a HOPE Scholarship instant ticket game in which all net proceeds would be placed in the Texas HOPE Scholarship Tuition Fund. The proposal would provide revenue for the Texas HOPE Scholarship Program without resulting in a negative fiscal impact on the state budget.
According to the Texas Lottery Commission, in fiscal year 1996, instant ticket games generated more than $2.1 billion in sales. The two most popular instant ticket games -- Cactus Cash and Scratchman -- have generated more than $500 million in sales.
Ellis said the Texas HOPE Scholarship Program is based on a similar program in Georgia which has provided free college tuition for almost 200,000 students since 1993 and is paid for using lottery funds. The Texas HOPE Scholarship Program would build on the Georgia program by requiring students to perform community service in return for their tuition scholarships. Students who work an average of 10 hours a week, students who are parents or who have certain family obligations will be exempt from the community service requirement.
"The idea behind the Texas HOPE Program is to underscore that students are expected to give something back to their communities for what they receive," Ellis said. "We want to strike a bargain, trading more opportunity for more responsibility."
Texas Higher Education Facts:
Texas currently trails the nation by 22.5 percent in producing college graduates. The attendance rate at four-year universities is almost 14 percent below the national average, and about one-half of those who enter a community college or university will not graduate. Texas students receive only 60 percent of aid for which they qualify, and the state's investment in higher education for each student has declined by 24 percent in constant dollars since 1985.

This year for Victor's birthday I wanted to make something extra special. I have made Jello Poke Cake in the past but wanted to trying something that would be easier to serve to a dozen friends out for a birthday brunch in the neighborhood. These vanilla cupcakes are special because they have stripes of strawberry rum jello inside. They are topped with an icing made with a blend of butter, sugar, and everyone's favorite Nutella (an entire jar!). These were a sell-out hit at Victor's brunch, everyone had two. Happy Birthday Victor!

This very rich and creamy Mudslide jello, fashioned after the cocktail, is made with generous amounts of coffee and Irish cream liqueurs, heavy cream, and a touch of vodka. A little cocoa powder tops it off (whipped cream and/or chocolate syrup would also be good). Have a happy New Year everyone!

Sam Byram wants to stay at Leeds United despite reported interest from Manchester City and Liverpool, according to manager Brian McDermott.
The 19-year-old burst onto the scene this season, making 53 appearances in all competitions, primarily at right-back.
The Leeds academy graduate kept the likes of Tottenham's Gareth Bale and Manchester United's Wilfried Zaha quiet during a stellar campaign that saw him land the club's Player of the Year award.
Manchester City, West Brom and Cardiff City have closely monitored Byram's progress this term, while Liverpool have also been linked with a move for the teenager.
However, Leeds boss McDermott said that Byram wants to remain at Elland Road and that his development will be best served by remaining at the club.
"Sam wants to be here next season and the club want him to be here next season," McDermott told the Yorkshire Evening Post.
"I'm absolutely certain of that. If someone does try to push him in a different direction then it won't be the player or the club who are doing the pushing. I'm not concerned about it.
"For me, his development as a player will be so much better and quicker through regular football, and the games he's had at Leeds have done him the power of good.
"You can see that he's loving it and I feel very strongly that he's in the right place. I know he thinks so too. Why would he want to go anywhere else?"
Byram was selected in England's provisional 35-man squad for the upcoming FIFA Under-20 World Cup and is expected to make the final cut, while his Leeds team-mate and fellow defender Tom Lees will represent his country at the European Under-21 Championship next month.
Lees also enjoyed a terrific season for United and good performances from both could increase their chances of leaving Leeds.
But McDermott is not worried about Byram and Lees attracting further attention, instead urging them to go and play their best for their country.
"I never worry about that. I've had some good players before, some of whom attracted attention," he said.
"Sam and Tom were desperate to go and play for their country and you can't hold young lads back. It's fantastic experience and I'm really pleased.
"They both deserve it and as far as their conditioning goes, it'll be managed."

Democrats Support Aspects Of Nuclear
Riverton, Wy – Democrats vying for the right to challenge Senator John Barrasso in November say they support nuclear power as part of the solution to America's energy needs. Casper Democrat Keith Goodenough points to the accidents at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island, and says the fear of nuclear energy is well founded. But he says safe and responsible methods for storing and transporting nuclear waste can be found.
Goodenough: "What we should do is look at other countries that get a good portion of their power from nuclear plants France comes to mind and look at exactly how they were doing this, how are they storing the waste, because I believe we are not always the best and the brightest in every field."
Gillette Democrat Nick Carter says nuclear power should be part of a comprehensive energy policy not a quick fix. He says facilities like the controversial Yucca Mountain in Nevada have been well researched and would be a good option for keep waste away from the public.

Yes, I have one. For a couple of weeks. It's beautiful. Wow. You hear stories of Apple's build quality, but this thing takes the cake. Shiny, slick, round, heavy yet small - it looks like it came from the future. In a sci-fi film, this would look the part. In my office, it just looks like something from another planet, or the future.
I've seen one demonstrated, running 16 streams of 4k video into Final Cut Pro X (which has been optimised for the Mac Pro) without the Mac Pro's fan whirring any louder. Actually, I couldn't hear the Mac Pro's fan at all over the gentle hum of the room's air conditioning. The 2013 Mac Pro is apparently quieter than a Mac mini. Nor was there any noticeable warmth rising from the top vent of its induction core. And this demo unit was driving two Sharp 4K monitors (Apple doesn't make a 4K monitor yet - the current 27-inch Apple Thunderbolt Display has an impressive, though sub-4K, 2560x1440 resolution).
Really, to do it justice, I should plug my temporary Mac Pro into one of these beauties, but all I have is an old LG at 1680x1050. Sorry. But hey, if you know anyone who wants to lend me a 4K display for a few days of testing, let me know.
Also known as UHD displays, 4k monitors show four times the pixels of the current HD standard of 1080 pixels vertical. The cheapest I've seen in New Zealand is the Asus PQ321Q for $4600 at Computer Lounge. The models I saw in the demonstration were Sharp PN-K321 4K Ultra HD LED monitors which display images at 3840x2160 pixels. These are obviously rated by Apple, since Apple was selling them on the UK Apple Store for £3,499, or around NZ$7028 each.
The Sharp 4K display costs more than the Mac Pro tower, although 4K prices are sure to come down. The Sharp is compatible with the new Mac Pro thanks to DisplayPort (is, Thunderbolt), and it also has HDMI.
So what? Well, the Mac Pro can drive three of these ... out of the box.
So why would you? Because you have loads of money, maybe. (I'd be tempted.) But realistically, it's for film work. Shoot in high-definition digital, edit it in true style with a 4K/Mac Pro setup in Final Cut Pro X, and the quality of the finished product on a big cinema screen should be utterly fantastic.
It's already being done, of course - Pixar had pre-release Mac Pros to animate and render on (and as a test for Apple, presumably) from near the beginning of last year.
But the thing is, the last couple of years of iMacs, at the top end, can do this too. At the recent Digital Cinema Society meeting in December 2013, Neil Smith from LumaForge talked about a film being cut on Final Cut Pro X on iMacs. By the way, all that criticism of Final Cut Pro X? All addressed, please note. It's not the same software that was originally released as FCPX.
We don't know what this film will be, but Neil Smith explains (not in a very detailed way) the process of using iMacs running Mavericks and Final Cut Pro X for what he's been doing, with the most powerful plus being cost saving.
If you're interested in film and this debate and/or possibilities, check out the video.
This 2013 Mac Pro line focuses almost entirely on things true professional users need: multi-core performance, workstation-class GPUs and GPU computing. This is where unused GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) power is used by the CPU for extra computational power. It's a power user's dream. But the machine I think back most fondly about was an aluminium 2006 Mac Pro tower. That was awesome. It looked good, ran games like crazy and was a great work machine. Over the top? Sure. It was like a bloke having a Maserati when a Toyota would do fine. And about as rational a choice. But still, it was super-cool.
But I don't know if I could ever justify getting a new Mac Pro, no matter how much I tried to fool my ego. The new Mac Pro is the first Mac in a long time that's clearly, and almost exclusively, designed purely for real professional users.
Luckily I am very, very happy with my 2012 MacBook Pro. It's fast, powerful and the portability is great for presenting. If I was more serious about Final Cut Pro, a 27-inch iMac could handle it easily. (I do make projects in Final Cut and Logic, but only so I know how to use them in real-worldish situations.)
Besides, realistically, you could get a really powerful iMac and a top MacBook Pro for the same price as one Mac Pro tower, monitor etc (you need to even buy the keyboard and trackpad separately with the new Mac Pro - there's nothing in the box except the Mac Pro itself).
I'm not saying the Mac Pro is expensive - in fact, US studies of this Texas-assembled machine show that's it's remarkably well priced. If you tried to spec-out a PC to the same details, it would cost you US$2000 more.
This article notes "Indeed, if you're hoping to put all of the Mac Pro's computing power into a do-it-yourself machine, good luck trying to get everything to fit into a smaller footprint than the Mac Pro which is just 9.9 inches [25.5cm] tall and 6.6 inches [16.76cm] across."
Anyway, I will write more about this beautiful object over the next couple of weeks. On that note, I guess I should plug it in ...
It's a long time since the days when Weta mastered its three Lord of the Rings films on an old G3 tower because they were too nervous to change up to the already available, and way more powerful, Intel Mac Pro!

Fantasy Guru Daily: 5/9/11
With no news on the labor front and teams unable to communicate with players or undrafted free agents (legally), there is not much news coming out of this weekend, so we'll just take a quick look at the rumblings from around the league.
The Redskins are reportedly the front runners to land the services of QB Vince Young, although they'll have to wait for player movement to be allowed since the Titans still have Young under contract and will probably try to trade Young before cutting him loose. Interestingly enough, the Redskins still have Donovan McNabb under contract, but his time in Washington was pretty much up when Rex Grossman took over the starting job at the end of last season. The only other QB on Washington's roster is John Beck, who HC Mike Shanahan seems to like enough to possibly consider as a starter. We doubt that happens, but what else can Shanahan do right now with so much uncertainty when it comes to the time period he'll have to shape the roster?
In other QB news, it looks like Chad Henne will likely get another crack at the starting job in Miami. Once again, the somewhat soft QB market and lockout situation has made keeping Henne look like a decent option at this point, especially since he's been the team's starter for less than two years. Miami has been another spot Donovan McNabb has been linked to and might be his best option if the Vikings decide to roll with rookie Christian Ponder as their starter and bring in a veteran strictly as a backup, a role McNabb does not want to play.
New Bengal OC Jay Gruden is a big fan of his rookie QB Andy Dalton and isn't shy about it. While Dalton wasn't considered a 1st-round talent in this year's draft, that doesn't seem to matter to Gruden, who believes Dalton is a perfect fit to run the West Coast offense he's installing for the Bengals this season. Dalton's arm strength was a bone of contention for talent evaluators, but Gruden scoffed at that issue, noting that arm strength is "overrated" in his new scheme. It appears that Gruden would like Dalton to start right away, but QB Ken Zampese said the team should look at a veteran backup since their current roster lacks anyone with real NFL experience.
Finally, in our only news of the day not relating to QBs, the Chargers are reportedly keeping a close eye on Steve Smith's status in Carolina. It was reported that Smith cleaned out his suite and locker in Carolina and let it be known that he wants a trade to either the Chargers or Raiders. San Diego should have control of starting WRs Vincent Jackson and Malcom Floyd, and they drafted Vincent Brown in the 3rd round, but their current roster consists of guys like Patrick Crayton and Seyi Ajirotutu, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence, even if they were somewhat successful with QB Philip Rivers throwing them the ball last season.

Cheats and Walkthroughs(7)
If you long for a new reason to turn on your Wii and Sports Resort ain't cutting it anymore, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, might be the game for you...or it might not be. X-Play's Matt Keil has the review:
"There is a fair amount of replay value, thanks to all the swords needing to be forged and a "true" ending that can only be obtained after finishing each character's story. But none of these elements can mitigate how dull the sections between boss battles can become. Vanillaware has created a large and seamless 2D world, but when you're running back through areas you've already cleared for the fifth or sixth time, you may find yourself longing for a load screen just so you can get back to the action quicker."

By Sheryl Borden: Creative Living
Information on making a messenger-type bag, creating a faux wall painting and felting fabric are featured topics on "Creative Living" noon Tuesday and 2 p.m. Saturday.
Sewing expert Pat de Santis demonstrates how to make a messenger-type bag incorporating a dimensional grandmother's fan by using the EZ Dresden tool. This quilting lesson is a play on the Dresden plate but much easier to do. De Santis is the vice president of corporate marketing with Wrights in West Warren, Mass.
Barbara Wurden, owner of Faux Fun Inc. in Long Beach, Calif., is demonstrating how to do paint walls using a sea sponge, masking tape and any type of water-based paint already on hand.
Vivian Lavinskas is the manager of consumer affairs with the Singer Sewing Co. in Lavergne, Tenn., and she says that felting is a phenomenal way to recycle. She'll show how to take an old sweater and "felt" it in the washer and dryer to create a piece of fabric to use for making a purse or other items.
Information on cooking with dried beans and making a room-darkening fabric-covered roller shade will be the featured topics on "Creative Living" 9:30 p.m. Tuesday and noon Thursday.
Dried beans are flavorful and nutritious and Pat Baird will demonstrate how versatile they are in various recipes. Baird represents the Northwest Bean Growers, and lives in Greenwich, Conn.
Jane Schenck of Pellon Consumer Products will show how to make a room-darkening fabric-covered roller shade with Pellon Wonder-Shade — without any sewing. She's from Durham, N.C.
Black Beans and Yellow Rice
1 15-ounce can black or red Beans, drained
1 14-ounce can chicken broth
1 5-ounce package yellow rice mix
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 yellow onion, minced
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 yellow pepper, minced
1/2 green or red pepper, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
Garlic and onion powder, to taste (optional)
Bring chicken broth to a boil. Add rice and simmer on low, covered, for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a frying pan and saute onion, garlic and peppers until soft (about 3 to 4 minutes.) Drain excess liquid. Add beans to sauteed vegetables and heat thoroughly. Season to taste with salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder. Mix bean mixture with yellow rice and serve.
"Creative Living" is produced and hosted by Sheryl Borden.

Student Profile
James O'Donnell
I studied a Bachelor of Arts as well as several business and IT subjects, as I knew the mix would benefit me one day.
UQ gave me a lot of options and was a very nice place to study, hang out with friends, meet new people and attend loads of events.
The staff and support were great! The campus is a really relaxed place and the facilities are excellent. What else do you need?
After graduating, I created my own Australian–Chinese Business Consultancy Group for companies that want to import or export with China. Everything I studied at UQ helped me to develop my whole company.
