Besiktas Retires Deron Williams Jersey In Farewell Ceremony
Deron Williams played in just a handful of games for his Turkish team Besiktas before the NBA lockout ended, however that didn't stop the team from immortalizing the New Jersey Nets point guard by retiring his number.
Williams most memorable moment overseas came when he helped his team to a 105-94 victory over Gottingen, when he scored 50 points in one of his last games with the Turkish squad. The NBA All-Star averaged just over 20 points and 6.8 assists per game during his time in Turkey. In July, Williams became the first major star to sign with a foreign team as a result of the NBA lockout, which ended over the Thanksgiving weekend. It is believed Williams was making approximately $200,000 per month.

After what has surely been a turbulent year for Charlie Weis, this is certainly a good way to patch things up and get people back on his side. Holding a practice without the Seniors because Weis wanted to work on the future certainly didn't go over well with many of the fans and I'm sure many of the players still aren't happy about it.The Students will be able to pick up the tickets (first come, first serve) and Weis will pay for any Student that didn't have previously purchased tickets. It's the least he can do for a fan base that has only seen two conference wins in the last four years, under three different head coaches. At least the Jayhawks still have a great basketball team.All KU students. Not going to the game because you don't have a ticket? No problem, I'm buying! Send our seniors off the right way!— Coach Charlie Weis (@CoachWeisKansas) November 16, 2012Go to the student entrance on the northeast side of the stadium on Saturday between 4 and 6pmwith a valid student ID....

Pressestimmen"Stam and Raengoa s Literature and Film offers a wonderful collection of approaches to the multifaceted and sometimes contradictory relationship between the written word and the filmic image, bringing into the discussion a refreshing series of examples drawn from international and minority cinemas."

Definition of terrarium
-ia\-ē-ə\ or
: a usually transparent enclosure for keeping or raising plants or usually small animals (such as turtles) indoors
Did You Know?
The turtle exhibit at a zoo is often in the form of a terrarium, as are some of the exhibits at a plant conservatory. In an ant terrarium, elementary-school students watch the ants dig their network of tunnels as if no one were watching. Terrariums try to create conditions as close as possible to a natural habitat. A covered terrarium can often sustain itself for months on the moisture trapped inside. But creating a good terrarium requires careful control not only of humidity but also of temperature, as well as good ventilation; the lighting should include the full spectrum of sunlight as well as a day-night regulator.
Origin and Etymology of terrarium
New Latin, from Latin terra + -arium (as in vivarium)
First Known Use: 1890
TERRARIUM Defined for English Language Learners
Definition of terrarium for English Language Learners

The health of hundreds of thousands of children has been put at risk after the Taliban announced a ban on a polio immunisation campaign in the country's tribal areas to protest against US airstrikes.
The ban affects the tribal areas of North and South Waziristan.
Pakistan is one of only three countries where the disease is endemic. It usually infects children living in unsanitary conditions. A total of 145,000 children in North Waziristan and 81,000 in South Waziristan were supposed to be immunised. Such programmes have come under suspicion since it became known a Pakistani doctor ran a fake vaccination programme to help the CIA track down Osama bin Laden.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a lease on a house which im not currently living at. A friend of mine asked if he could stay there for 2 days and i agreed. He ended up staying there for 2 weeks without telling me. He didnt pay any rent and refuses two. How can i get my money?
Absent an agreement between you and your friend that requires him to pay rent, you probably aren't entitled to it. You can sue for ejectment if he is still in the property, and could bring a suit for trespass. In the trespass suit, you can claim that you have been damaged if you can somehow show the damages to the court.

Dolly Deadly Blu-Ray
Dolly Deadly is a feature film of the psychological horror/revenge genre written by Heidi Moore and Cassandra Sechler. It's sure to be a little creepy, a bit silly, and a lot of fun (think Troma meets John Waters).
The story of Dolly Deadly revolves around the warped psychology of a tormented young boy who can only relate to his doll collection, and the only relief from the pain in his life comes with slaughtering those he has learned to hate the most. Everyone in his trailer park!
The film is a whirlwind of vengeful deaths, elaborate dream sequences, and crazy characters. Effects involve handmade prosthetics and blood for all of the head wounds, jaw cracking action, melting faces, spurting blood, stab wounds, rotting corpse makeup and fun with fire. Throughout the movie, claymation and puppetry is used! That's right, old school effects!
If you are a fan of 80's horror and low budget films with attitude and guts (literally), then you will love this!

SOCCER star Stephen Ireland's fiancée has won a stage role as a WAG.
Jessica Lawlor, 25, will play a footballer's wife in a new production called
WAG! The Musical.
The mum of one — engaged to Villa ace Stephen, also 25 — has been learning her
lines and even had secret vocal coaching.
A source said: "Jessica loves just being a WAG but wanted a new challenge.
It's very tongue-in-cheek, but she sees it as fun and a chance to get a
career of her own. Stephen's supporting her all the way. You couldn't really
pick a better job for her — it's what she does every day."
Jessica and Stephen live in Prestbury, Cheshire, with their son. The show
opens in London in June ahead of a planned UK tour.

Silver Flash
Dan was staring up at the ceiling. Why were dreams so much better than reality? All those daft studies showed that we dream to help us through life's possibles, yet Cassie was not going to turn up at his house.
'Daniel!' A slurred call echoed through the house.
'What, Mum?' Daniel yelled back.
His mum burst in, obviously drunk but with a kind of sober togetherness in her aura. Dan watched warily as his mum bent down to show him a two bundles of white; white that was almost silver in the half-light. 'They got in through the kitchen window, I th-' She giggled. 'I think.'
One cat looked up at Dan; looked up at hime with one greeny-blue eye and one indigo eye. 'Uh... Mum, they're lovely. Are they missing or something?'
'No. no, no, silly!' She giggled again. 'They're our cats. I want the big one. You t-take the little lady, she can sleep in your... room.' She thrust the cat - well, kitten really - into his arms and left. Dan looked at her different-coloured eyes. They were familiar. Too familiar. Agh! He thought. I've got that girl on my mind, again! Dan put the cat on his bed and went into the bathroom. He filled the sink and plunged his head into it, desperate to clear the fog from his brain. He liked his hometown's misty weather, though not in his head.
Dan went back to his room, looking for the cat. She wasn't on his bed.
The door snapped shut behind him.
A flash of fair hair, fair skin, sharp nails and modestly made up eyes moved into his vision. A slightly different second version popped up behind the flash.

Chapter X
I couldn't take my eyes off that man. I felt dazed for a minute. I shook my head, thinking that I was just seeing things since I was out for an hour and maybe my eyes haven't adjusted that well to the lights in the airport.
"Hey Markus. Uh- you and Arden go ahead. I'll just go to the ladies' bathroom" I said. "Are you sure? I can go with you and wait outside you know." Markus says to me. "No thanks Markus. It's just 5 in the morning, there aren't that many people around here. I'll be fine and quick, okay?"
As I made my way to the bathroom I saw the suited man again, my eyes went to his left hand and I saw it! He had the mark. I looked up to him and I think he was looking at me. I'm not sure though since he had his sun glasses on, but I had a strong feeling he was staring at me.
I decided to go back and as I turned, I saw another man sitting by the benches, reading the news paper with the red mark peeking from his sleeve. He slowly put the paper down and looked at me. I walked back faster, feeling uneasy. They know. But how?
Arden was waiting for me, "Come on. Let's go. Where's Markus?" I asked, anxiously. "I told him to go ahead and find good seats for us, now come on we might - Is there something wrong, Jane?" he asks me, noticing my worry.
I looked back to see if they were still there and what shocked me was they have multiplied. There was one by the chair, by the comfort room, a group near the food stalls and one particular suited man coming our way. "We have got to go, Arden. Now. Let's go." I took his hand and we went inside.
Inside the plane, I noticed that there were only about 8 people. "Why are there only a few people?" I whispered to Arden. "It's more of a private plane, Jane. This was the earliest flight to Texas. It didn't cost much anyway" Arden replies. It caught me in a bit of surprise. But, not wanting to be nosy, I kept my mouth shut.
We made our way to our seats and as I sat down, I fell into a deep sleep.
