TALLAHASSEE, FL -- Peter Nehr is not only a Florida state representative, he is also the owner and operator of Fun City Sweepstakes (North Port, FL). His Internet café is equipped with phone card vending machines that offer patrons a chance to enter Internet sweepstakes and win cash prizes.
The Republican from Tarpon Springs says his venue is "a legitimate business that has been vetted and found to be completely legal in the state." He pointed to a recent plea-bargain agreement whereby another sweeps game operator escaped illegal gambling charges as proof that sweepstakes videogames are legal in Florida. | SEE VT COVERAGE
Pinellas County Sheriff Jim Coats disagrees. He says the videogames are illegal gambling devices. The resulting controversy has caught the eye of numerous news outlets in the Sunshine State. | SEE STORY
According to some Florida newspapers, a small Internet café can make more than $20,000 a week by operating electronic sweepstakes games. Observers estimate that there are 300 to 1,000 of these cafés in the state. They say current state laws are not clear on the status of sweepstakes games.
Rep. Scott Plakon (R-Longwood) has introduced a bill -- HB 217 -- that would ban simulated gambling for promotional purposes, which sweepstakes videogames do.
State Sen. Mike Fasano (R-New Port Richey) is sponsoring a competing bill to legalize the videogames.
Neither bill is expected to pass this year.
Some Florida jurisdictions, such as Seminole County, have already banned machines with simulated gambling, but are seeing their regulations challenged on constitutional grounds. Other counties are considering similar anti-sweepstakes games ordinances.

Woman, child held against their will in Ashland
(Cleveland) - A disturbing case of human trafficking out of Ashland.
U.S. Attorney Steven Dettelbach unsealed a criminal complaint against people who are accused of holding a woman and her child against their will and forced the woman to cook, clean, do yardwork, etc.
According to the charges, Jordie Callahan, Jessica Hunt and Daniel J. Brown used beatings, threats of death and threats of attacks from dogs and reptiles to hold a mentally challenged woman and her child against their will for two years.

(Jessica Hunt)
(Daniel Brown)
The woman escaped when she was caught stealing a candy bar and told police about the "mean people" she lived with. Dettelbach says the victim, in her 20s, suffered a head trauma as a teen ager.
Dettelbach says this was, simply, a case of forced slavery.
The suspects are charged with forced labor and are being held to await a federal court hearing. No attorneys were listed for them in court records.
The names of the victims rescued last month were withheld.

Palm Beach Atlantic University's main Facebook page (PBAUniversity) has topped 5,000 LIKES while the University's Twitter page (PBAtlantic) just went over 3,000 followers.
CLICK HERE to LIKE PBAUniversity; CLICK HERE to follow PBA on Twitter.
"In today's world, social media is becoming and increasingly powerful tool for communicating with prospective students, parents and alumni," says Becky Peeling, associate vice president for external relations and marketing. "We take it seriously whether it is Facebook, Twitter, YouTube or other social media platforms. And we're always looking ahead in an effort to stay current and relevant to the way young people are communicating.
"We enjoy being able to connect with students, prospective students, parents, alumni and friends of the University in a way that is not quite so sterile as an email or distant as an ad," said Peeling. "We love it when people comment and share."
Begun in June 2009, the PBAUniversity Facebook and Twitter pages have grown rapidly and entirely organically, says PBA Web Content Manager Louis Park, who manages the pages as part of his duties in the University's office of marketing and development. "We haven't done paid promotion for the pages or run a lot of big giveaways to drive up numbers. The people who have connected with PBAUniversity are genuinely interested in what the page and the University have to offer."
Park noted that there a several well-run Facebook pages associated with the University including admissions (AdmissionsPBA), athletics (PBASailfish), student life/events (PBAEvents), alumni (PBAAlumni) and Orlando campus (PBAOrlando), but that PBAUniversity is by far the largest and most active. The same is true of Twitter pages associated with PBA.
"We take our role seriously as the main social media 'voice of the University'," says Park. "We try to post consistently each day but we are respectful of the time of those who LIKE our page. We don't simply dump anything we can find onto our timeline or Twitter feed. We're selective about what we post.
"We choose a wide variety of items that we believe impart the flavor of the University and the beautiful community in which PBA is located," he added.
This fall, PBA launched a hybrid Facebook-Web site, which allows users to do much of what they would be able to do on our Web site (www.pba.edu) without leaving Facebook -- including learn about admissions and athletics, connect with other parents and alumni and give securely online. It also contains a calendar of events and a PBA newsfeed.
Over the weekend, Kyle Bartlett became the 5,000th person to LIKE PBAUniversity; and on Tuesday, GFAYouth -- a youth organization located in Loxahacthee, Fla. -- became PBA's 3,000th Twitter follower. Kyle and GFAYouth recveive a gift package consisting of a PBA sweatshirt, flip-flops, coffee mug, coasters, pencils and a PBA jar full of jellybeans.

Hi, I am looking to starting web development with the hope of one day freelancing. I have read books on Html and css. Just wondering if I can head straight to CMS such as Joomla, Drupal Etc. Just wondering if this is a good idea? Or should I learn Javascript and Php?
Hard to say. It depends on what your goals are. I use Wordpress for the sites I build and know some of the basics of PHP and HTML. I would recommend specializing in the CMS you plan to use rather than offering them all.
Technically you don't need to know any kind of coding in order to set up Joomla and WP sites. If you want to dig into them at all though you will need to know a lot more than HTML and CSS.
In my experience, I would say charge forward on your own with anything you want. The best way to learn is to get in there and start playing with things. Reading about coding is good but you don't learn much until you are actually solving problems.
WebEminence has a good point about specializing in a CMS. Many web development companies that I have encountered are either Joomla shops or WP shops or Drupal shops but few do them all.
Here is a good write-up on what CMS to consider,
Hope that helps,
I say you should start playing with CMS's, i found it very easy to manage Wordpress and Joomla, no need for coding skills. But of course, if you want to build your own theme ... you need a bit of coding
I would say you dabble in some raw html, css, php and javascripts before moving on to CMS like joomla, drupal etc. It always doesn't hurt to have a solid foundation.
CMS is not necessarily the easiest way of putting websites online, although many people seem to think it is.
It is well worth learning how to hand code with HTML, CSS, PHP, Javascript, because you can then create sites that look exactly like you want and do exactly what you want. And you can do this quickly and directly, without having to force some bloated piece of CMS software, which you don't really understand (and never will, since it constantly changes), to do the things you want.
Unless your client is regularly (ie daily) going to be updating pages, and adding and removing pages, then a 'full' CMS is often overkill. It will need constant upgrades, because the developers never stop tinkering with these things; it will be at more risk of attack than a non-cms site; extensions, add-ons, or modules can stop working if the add-on dev doesn't keep up with the CMS versions; backing up and restoring is not always as easy as people pretend; and your clients will include many people who simply will NOT take the time to learn how to make even the simplest updates without constantly calling you for help. You can train them and train them, but some will never figure it out. And the thing is, in the end, many clients who believe they need a CMS never actually add or delete any pages, or even update any pages. So in many cases, a CMS is gross overkill and just adds a level of complexity that is really unhelpful, especially over time.
In contrast, you can update non-cms websites very fast, and add/remove pages fast too, if you've set the site up properly in the first place. There's no bloated software between you and the online website. Open the page in a text editor, make the change, upload the file, check it in the browser. Done.
Summary: choose the best tool for the job. And often a CMS is not the best tool.
Not knowing your motivation for this post, I wonder if your question is perhaps more than just which skill sets to acquire.
If you are looking to develop commercially marketable skills; perhaps your journey may need to start with, or at least include, your personal network -- specifically those of your acquaintance who are already gainfully employed in web development. That way you not only have a good sense of what skills are in demand, but have a personal contact within a potential future employer / partner / contractor.
For example, after 35 years, the mainframe application development and analysis industry that kept me gainfully employed went away. I was able to self-educate in the traditional web literacies: XHTML, CSS, PHP et. al. But nearing age 70, attempting to break into the industry without any web-development personal network contacts has proven futile. (I enjoy driving school bus and accepting clothing and furniture donations at Goodwill -- but the remuneration is [quite] something less than the 6-figures I was used to bringing home <grin>).
So if you are looking at building a career, looking at your market options and expanding your personal network may prove appropriate to include in your calculus.
I have to agree with the other posters when they ask what your primary motivation or goal is? To break into the industry is easy, but to have a truly valuable skillset is hard. Go browse on job sites (or even craigslist) and see what people are looking for in a web developer. Where I am locally, there's a lot of call for someone who knows AJAX, JOOMLA, MySQL, etc -- stuff that the average person won't know. And they're looking for it all in one person. But no doubt a lot of them are looking for CMS help, too, but I feel that it's a bit limiting to work with things like Wordpress.
It's also important to know what your strengths are. If you're an excellent designer, focus more on web optimization, graphics, HTML/CSS, even Flash -- and then let someone else take care of the scripting and dynamic elements from there. If it's vice versa, personally, I would recommend PHP before JavaScript (but both in the long run). I'm just delving into PHP, but finding it to be quite powerful and useful, like HTML on Red Bull. I'm not ashamed to say that throughout my entire web history, I've always just used copypasta with free JavaScripts to accomplish what I need. JS is great, no doubt, but I just don't have the wearwithall to learn it. jQuery might even be a better thing to pursue these days.

I was curious if it is be possible to dual boot Windows 8 and Backtrack5r3 on Lenovo ideapad yoga?
I have read about this new intel security feature(UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface)) that might not allow this.?
my second question would be if it is possible to configure a dual boot is there a way to install backtrack5r3 to a SDXC card and then be able to boot from it.
I also read that the new Lenovos are compatible with SDXC.
any info would be greatly appreciated!

The Comedy of Errors
The Comedy of Errors. Delacorte Theater (see Off Broadway). By William Shakespeare. Directed by Daniel Sullivan. With Hamish Linklater, Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Running time: 1hr 30mins. No intermission.
The Comedy of Errors: plot synopsis
Jesse Tyler Ferguson and Hamish Linklater are the rare actors who can boast both sitcom face recognition and extensive cred as Shakespearean actors. Now their fans get twice the fun as the Public's beloved Shakespeare in the Park series presents the Bard's clever farce, in which two pairs of identical twins end up in double jeopardy. Daniel Sullivan's delightful cast also includes Emily Bergl, Jonathan Hadary, de'Adre Aziza, Becky Ann Baker, Robert Creighton and Heidi Schreck.
The Comedy of Errors: theater review by David Cote
In most productions of Shakespeare's early farce, two sets of actors play the identical twins—masters and servants who mistake each other over the course of a day, which leads to escalating comic insanity. It doesn't matter if the twins don't resemble each other; giggling audiences are happy to suspend disbelief. But for Daniel Sullivan's Shakespeare in the Park staging, Hamish Linklater plays both Antipholuses and Jesse Tyler Ferguson takes on the Dromios. Is such double duty worth it? Very much so; that is, until the very end. For most of this pared-down, breathlessly played 90-minute version, we enjoy seeing Ferguson exit through an upstage door as Dromio of Ephesus, then bound on from the other end of the Delacorte, seconds later, as Dromio of Syracuse.
The quick-change tricks have to stop, of course, at the denouement, when the twins are reunited and all confusions straightened out. For that, Sullivan deploys a pair of body doubles, and the comic fizz falls a bit flat. Until then, The Comedy of Errors is an elegant summer delight. The youthful cast includes adorable Emily Bergl and Heidi Schreck as Ephesian sisters caught between Antipholuses; de'Adre Aziza has a smoky turn as a sexy torch singer. Sullivan's jazzy production is set in a gangsters-and-molls 1940s, with swing-dance interludes burning up the stage between scenes. The biggest praise goes to lanky Linklater and gushing Ferguson. They are a study in tropic contrasts, Linklater all desert-dry ripostes and Ferguson a humid jungle of spastic grimaces and panicky smiles. No errors here; all's right for a night of big laughs.—Theater review by David Cote
Tickets are free (two per person) and may be picked up only on the day of performance after 12pm at the Delacorte Theater. A limited number of tickets are also distributed via online lottery; see the website for details.

A group of local officials are spear-heading an effort to re-staff courts and provide more judiciary funds to what they call a starving system.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly (R-Hesperia) has co-authored a bill, introduced in March, that he says is a step toward properly funding California's judicial system.
AB 1313 would allocate up to 12 additional judicial positions throughout the state each year to the counties with the greatest disparity between their current allocation and Judicial Council's recommendation, Donnelly said.
The bill would be in effect when money is available, he added.
"The courts are literally being starved to death while our population is exploding, so the need is absolutely there," Donnelly said the record-high court deficit in San Bernardino County. "This is absolutely something we're supposed to be doing. "
Courthouses in Chino, Needles and Big Bear closed this year due to budget cuts.
Shuttered courthouses and depleting funds have created a backlog of cases and led to hundreds of staff layoffs, Donnelly said. Some residents in San Bernardino County will now have to travel two hours or more to reach the nearest court room.
"(AB1313) was born out of the dire crisis that we're facing here in San Bernardino County," Donnelly said.
Presiding Judge Marsha Slough said San Bernardino County is one of the most under-funded areas in the state. The court funding has gone from a $22 million deficit down to an approximate $11 million deficit by July 1, 2014.
Based on the last workload study done in 2012 San Bernardino County should have 156 judges. Instead it has 86 positions.
The county should also have 1,500 employees. It currently has 896 employees.
Donnelly is working with local mayors, specifically those in the High Desert, who have recently experienced those drastic court cuts.
Bill Holland, the mayor of Hesperia, said he got involved with hopes of averting some of the court closures.
"We've got a population tipping toward a half million people, just in the High Desert alone," he said. "I do think we can get money back. It has to do with priorities. "
The point of AB1313 is to bring awareness to the issue, officials said.
"At one point in time, all 24 mayors have been involved in this in one way or another," Holland said about local advocates. "Whether it was sending letters or making the trip to Sacramento."
They had some victories in their efforts, Holland said, referencing the Barstow courthouse.
Barstow was another courthouse set to close completely this year, but in March money from an emergency fund allowed for one courtroom to stay open temporarily. The other three courtrooms in the building have closed.
"I would like to see us re-open Needles and Big Bear and keep Barstow open full time because the case load warrants it," Holland said.
The court closures, he added, effect everyone.
Judge Slough said she is not involved in the AB1313 campaign, but she has spoken with Donnelly about his desires to put something together to aid trial court funding.
"We're always appreciative of any efforts anyone has to support the courts," she said.
"(The community is) united and they are demonstrating that they care about the courts. "

Acquired platelet function defectAcquired qualitative platelet disorders; Acquired disorders of platelet function
Acquired platelet function defects are diseases or conditions that cause the blood elements needed for blood clotting (platelets) to not work properly. The term "acquired" means these diseases or conditions are not present at birth.
With platelet disorders, there may be too many or too few platelets, or platelets that do not function well. Some conditions cause changes in both the number and function of platelets. Any platelet disorder affects blood clotting.
These disorders can be present at birth (congenital), or they may develop later because of another disease or condition, or without a known cause. In many cases, the platelet count may be normal or even high, but there will be evidence of a bleeding disorder.
Disorders that can cause problems in platelet function include:
Other causes include:
- Kidney (renal) failure
- Multiple myeloma
- Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen and other anti-inflammatory drugs, penicillins, phenothiazines, and prednisone (after long-term use)
- Abnormal menstrual periods
- Heavy menstrual periods
- Prolonged menstrual bleeding (more than 5 days per menstrual period)
- Abnormal vaginal bleeding
- Bleeding in the urine
- Bleeding under the skin or in the muscles (soft tissues)
- Gastrointestinal bleeding
- Bloody, dark black, or tarry bowel movements
- Vomiting blood or material that looks like coffee grounds
- Nosebleeds
- Prolonged bleeding, easy bruising
- Skin rash
- Bruises
- Pinpoint red spots (petechiae)
Exams and Tests
Treatment is aimed at the cause of the problem.
- Bone marrow disorders (which may have abnormally low or high numbers of platelets) are treated with platelet transfusions, removing platelets from the blood (platelet pheresis), or chemotherapy to treat the condition.
- Platelet function defects caused by kidney failure are treated with dialysis or a drug called desmopressin (ddAVP).
- Platelet problems caused by medication are treated by stopping the medication.
Outlook (Prognosis)
Treating the cause of the problem usually corrects the defect.
Possible Complications
- Prolonged bleeding
- Severe anemia
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider:
- If you have bleeding and do not know the cause
- If your symptoms get worse or do not improve after you are treated for an acquired platelet function defect
Using medications carefully can reduce the risk of drug-related acquired platelet function defects. Treating other disorders may also reduce the risk. Some cases are not preventable.

Heather Batts is one diva-licious blogger that I am happy to say is a part of this year's Sharpie Squad! Heather brings love, life, and a whooole lotta pink to Squad. I suggest you sit back, relax and get to know The Domestic Diva herself, Heather Batts!
First of all I'd like to say that I'm very excited to be
a part of this year's Sharpie Squad!
I grew up on Sharpie markers and it seems that there is always one lying around no matter what room of the house I am in. I'm not an artist but rather an everyday Sharpie kind of a user. As a Mom, I use Sharpie markers mainly for labeling purposes or craft projects.
Lately, I've discovered new ways to use Sharpie markers, for example, in a recent DIY project I added a personal touch to a piece of furniture my Mom found at a yard sale!
Some of you might not know who I am so I will use this opportunity to let you guys know a little bit about me! I began blogging in 2004 as a way to document my first pregnancy. From there my interest and passion for writing grew. Today, I blog at The Domestic Diva which mainly focuses on what works for my family and me. Addicted to social media, I love sharing what is happening in my world not only through my blog but also through Twitter (@thedomesticdiva), Flickr , and YouTube!
If I were to pick a favorite Sharpie color, it would definitely be hot pink (although I think the folks at Sharpie call my favorite color Magenta instead).
What I've learned from becoming a Sharpie Squad member is that it doesn't matter if you are a successful artist or a regular Mom like me, we all have one thing in common: we are all Sharpie users! Because of this program I've learned to look at Sharpie in a different light. I hope you will too!

This volume builds on 50 years of indicator development by OECD and goes beyond R&D to describe the broader context in which innovation occurs.
It includes experimental indicators that provide insight into new areas of policy interest, and highlights measurement gaps to propose directions for advancing the measurement agenda.
Measuring Innovation: A New Perspective begins by describing innovation today. It looks at what is driving innovation in firms, and how the scientific and research landscape is being reconfigured by convergence, interdisciplinarity and the new geography of innovation hot spots. It presents broader measures of innovation, for example using new indicators of investment in intangible assets and trademarks.
Human capital is the basic input of innovation, and a series of indicators looks at how well education systems are contributing to the knowledge and research bases. Further series examine how firms transform skills and knowledge, and shed light on the different roles of public and private investment in fostering innovation and reaping its rewards, with concrete examples from major global challenges such as health and climate change.
Measuring Innovation is a major step towards evidence-based innovation policy making. It complements traditional "positioning"-type indicators with ones that show how innovation is, or could be, linked to policy. It also recognises that much more remains to be done, and points to the measurement challenges statisticians, researchers and policy makers alike need to address.

Fettes, Reida lead No. 8 Baseball to 8-2 Win over Marshall
March 27, 2013
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- Freshman catcher Greg Fettes reached base safely in all four trips to the plate and collected a pair of hits, leading No. 8 Kentucky to an 8-2 midweek win over Marshall, on Wednesday afternoon at Cliff Hagan Stadium.
Kentucky (19-5) rallied from a 2-0 hole after three innings, plating eight unanswered runs over the fourth, fifth, sixth and eighth innings for an 8-2 win. UK collected its eight runs on eight hits and eight walks, also getting plunked by a pitch and stealing two bags.
Fettes and shortstop Matt Reida each led the club with two hits, with Fettes reaching base safely in all four trips, including two walks, a single and a double. The native of Madison Heights, Mich., is now hitting .571 (8-for-14) with three doubles, three RBI and a .611 on-base percentage through his first seven collegiate games.
UK's dynamic defensive shortstop, Reida, went 2-for-3 with two RBI and a pair of runs scored. UK also got hits from Austin Cousino, Kyle Barrett, Zac Zellers and Thomas Bernal, with Bernal driving in a run and Zellers recording a pair of RBI. J.T. Riddle and Max Kuhn each drew two walks
Kentucky starter Chandler Shepherd worked three innings, allowing four singles and two runs, walking two and striking out two. Freshman Kyle Cody (2-1) took over in the fourth inning and worked two shutout frames, allowing a single and striking out one. Freshman lefty Dylan Dwyer worked a shutout sixth inning - extending his streak of scoreless innings to open his career to seven frames. Freshman Ryne Combs worked the seventh, allowing two hits and a walk, striking out one without allowing a run. Freshman Zach Strecker tossed the eighth without any hits or baserunners and senior Walter Wijas got the final three outs of the game.
Marshall (10-13) starter Alex Thackston worked 3.2 innings, allowing two hits, two runs and four walks, striking out one. Thackston did not allow a hit until the fourth inning, before a pair of two-out knocks ended his start and brought on Matt Margaritonda (0-4). Margaritonda worked two innings, allowing four hits and five runs, walking two. The Herd also used Sam Hunter, Matt Hummel and Zachary Shockley in relief.
UK will return to action in hosting Georgia for a three-game series, starting on Friday at 6:30 p.m. ET at Cliff Hagan Stadium. All three games will be broadcast live on the UK IMG Radio Network, with Dick Gabriel voicing the action.
Marshall got on the board in the top of the first inning, as Andrew Dundon led off with a single blooped into right-centerfield. After a slow roller moved Dundon to second base with two outs, Gray Stafford lofted a bloop single into shallow leftfield to score the first run of the game.
The Herd added to their lead in the top of the third inning as Ballou was walked on five pitches to leadoff the inning. Dundon and Ballou then executed a perfect hit and run, with Dundon chopping a slow roller through the right side with Riddle covering second on the steal. Nathan Gomez then grounded out up the middle to score Ballou and make it 2-0 Marshall.
UK rallied to tie the game in the fourth inning, as Kuhn drew a full-count leadoff walk, after falling in a 0-2 hole to start the at bat. After a fly out and a Barrett groundout moved Kuhn to second base, Bernal smashed a two-out single up the middle to score Kuhn with UK's first run. Bernal then stole second on the first pitch of the at bat to Reida, with Reida then scoring Bernal with a single into centerfield.
In the bottom of the fifth inning, the Wildcats rallied with two runs on two hits to take a 4-2 lead. Fettes led off with a single into right-centerfield, taking third when Cousino lined a double down the rightfield line. With Zellers at the plate, Fettes came home on a wild pitch, allowing Cousino to motor to third base with no outs. Zellers then lofted a sacrifice fly to centerfield to score Cousino and make it 4-2 UK.
UK added three runs in the sixth, taking a 7-2 lead. Barrett singled to left-centerfield with one out, stealing second base. After Bernal drew a walk and Barrett took third on a wild pitch, Reida came to the plate. Barrett came around to score on a wild pitch on a bunt attempt from Reida, but the play was ruled a ball and moved Barrett back to third base with one out. Reida then laid down a bunt single to score Barrett with a head-first slide at the plate. Fettes and Cousino then drew walks to load the bases for Zellers, who singled off the diving glove of Stafford to score Reida. With A.J. Reed up and the bases still loaded, Fettes scored on a wild pitch for a 7-2 score.
In the eighth, UK added an insurance run for an 8-2 lead. Reida was hit by a full-count pitch with one out, scoring after Fettes smashed a double off the wall in leftfield, with Reida motoring home after the ball was bobbled in the corner for an error.

Allstate Sugar Bowl and National Football Foundation Honor 35 Scholar-Athletes
Wednesday, April 13, 2011
The Allstate Sugar Bowl Chapter of the National Football Foundation/College Football Hall of Fame held its 2011 Awards Luncheon in the Napoleon Room of the New Orleans Hilton Riverside on Wednesday. The highlight of the event was $10,000 scholarships being distributed to four local high school scholar-athletes.
Allstate Sugar Bowl Chapter of the National Football Foundation
Archie Manning, a member of the Allstate Sugar Bowl Committee and the national chairman of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame, recognized 35 local high school football players for their achievements in the classroom and on the football field.
After the full 35 were introduced, Judge Lance Africk, the President of the Allstate Sugar Bowl, surprised the audience by announcing that the bowl had boosted its contributions from two $2,500 scholarships to the four $10,000 awards. Honorees submitted essays stating their case to earn the scholarships and after a committee review, the winners were Ryan Niedermair (Mandeville High School), Gavin Parria (Fisher High School), James Quellmalz (Archbishop Rummel High School) and Tyrone Williams (McDonogh 35 College Prep School).
The following are excerpts from Africk's introductions of the scholarship winners:
"[Neidermair] has been active in a wide-range of activities in addition to football, while still maintaining a 4.2 grade-point average. He has worked very closely with students with disabilities and based on his essay, has developed true friendships while mentoring these students. The son of a career naval aviator, he is a true believer in the words 'hard work' and he will continue that effort at Rhodes College and then he plans to go on to medical school.
"[Parria] is a first-team all-district football player and the President of the National Honor Society with a 3.82 grade-point average. He is very active in his school and his community, but more impressively, he has assisted his family of commercial fishermen by working on a fishing boat every summer since he was nine years old. As we all know the fishing industry took quite a hit this past summer due to the oil spill, we hope this scholarship will help make up for a tough year in the gulf.
"[Quellmalz] overcame a broken leg suffered on a touchdown in his freshman year to help lead his school to an undefeated season and its first state championship appearance. A three-year football letter-winner and a two-year starter, he has achieved honor roll status in every quarter since elementary school, while volunteering for a wide-range of causes as a member of Operation Head-Start.
'[Williams] wrote in his essay that he "has worked hard to defy the myth that athletes cannot do sports and be smart too" - something he has proven through his success on the field and in the classroom. Very focused on helping his family, he still managed to be a two-time academic all-state football player, maintaining a 3.5 grade-point average while participating in a wide-range of community service activities."
In addition, two local businessmen were recognized for their contributions to the community and the sport of football.
Doug Hertz, a member of the Tulane Board of Administrators and the Chair of the Board's Athletics Committee, was recognized as the Distinguished American Award. Using his multiple degrees from Tulane, Hertz has become a very successful businessman, serving as President and CEO of United Distributors. In addition, he has remained very active with his alma mater, spearheading several initiatives to enhance and improve intercollegiate athletics at Tulane. He led a charge to increase the department's budget, which was recently approved, and is currently studying the possibility of an on-campus football stadium for the Green Wave. Rick Dickson, Tulane Director of Athletics, accepted on behalf of Hertz.
Bill Curl, the director of media relations for the Louisiana Superdome for 33 years, received the Contribution to Amateur Football Award. Curl, who worked as the sports information director at Tulane and Arkansas prior to his time at the Superdome, has been instrumental in the promotion and betterment of amateur football in the city and state. Curl was one of the driving forces in getting the LHSAA to move all of its state championship football games to the Superdome three decades ago, a model that is followed by high school associations in several other states. Curl was introduced by legendary high school football coach J.T. Curtis, from John Curtis Christian School.
Here is the full list of the scholar-athletes with their accomplishments:
James Quellmalz (Archbishop Rummel H.S.)
Russell Zimmerman (Archbishop Rummel H.S.)

High Energy Theory Seminar - Bertrand Duplantier, Institute for Theoretical Physics, Saclay - Schramm-Loewner Evolution and Liouville Quantum Gravity
Liouville quantum gravity in two dimensions is described by the ``random Riemannian manifold'' obtained by changing the Lebesgue measure in the plane by a random conformal factor, the exponential of the Gaussian free field. This ``random surface" is believed to be the continuum scaling limit of certain discretized random surfaces that can be studied with combinatorics and random matrix theory.
When boundary arcs of a Liouville quantum gravity random surface are conformally welded to each other (in a boundary quantum-length-preserving way) the resulting interface is a random curve described by the Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE). This allows to develop a theory of quantum fractal measures, consistent with the Knizhnik-Polyakov-Zamolochikov (KPZ) relation, and to analyze their evolution under conformal welding maps related to SLE. As an application, one can construct quantum length and boundary intersection measures on the SLE curve itself.

In a reflective tribute to the African-American community of old, noted poet Ntozake Shange recalls her childhood home and the close-knit group of innovators that often gathered there. These men of vision, brought to life in the majestic paintings of artist Kadir Nelson, lived at a time when the color of their skin dictated where they could live, what schools they could attend, and even where they could sit on a bus or in a movie theater. Yet in the face of this tremendous adversity, these dedicated souls and others like them not only demonstrated the importance of Black culture in America, but also helped issue in a movement that "changed the world." Their lives and their works inspire us to this day, and serve as a guide to how we approach the challenges of tomorrow.

Young Harriet Tubman, whose childhood name was Minty, dreams of escaping slavery on the Brodas plantation in the late 1820s.
The Middle Passage is the name given to one of the most tragic ordeals in history: the cruel and terrifying journey of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean. In this seminal work, master artist Tom Feelings tells the complete story of this horrific diaspora in sixty-four extraordinary narrative paintings. Achingly real, they draw us into the lives of the millions of African men, women, and children who were savagely torn from their beautiful homelands, crowded into disease-ridden "death ships", and transported under nightmarish conditions to the so-called New World. An introduction by noted historian Dr. John Henrik Clarke traces the roots of the Atlantic slave trade and gives a vivid summary of its four centuries of brutality. The Middle Passage reaches us on a visceral level. No one can experience it and remain unmoved. But while we absorb the horror of these images, we also can find some hope in them. They are a tribute to the survival of the human spirit, and the humanity won by the survivors of the Middle Passage belongs to us all.

The reason you should not put fondant in the refrigerator is because when it is exposed to moisture, it can become sticky. Condensation from the cold air can cause colored fondant to streak or run. It's always best not to refrigerate a cake with fondant decoration. Leftover fondant should be tightly wrapped and stored at room temperature. Your refrigerated leftover fondant is still safe to use, but next time store any extras in the cabinet.

In the decade before the Wright brothers' historic 1903 flight, French-born, American Civil Engineer Octave Chanute developed and flew the world's most advanced aircraft. Chanute's novel biplane glider, an engineering masterpiece in the world of 1896 flying machines was the foundation for 20th-century aircraft.
Chanute's nature was mild, considerate to others, kindly, generous, patient, and just. Yet while almost self-effacing in his manner, it was recognized by all with whom he came in contact that he was a tremendous thinker and doer, with intense tenacity of purpose and determination.
- Simine Short, Exhibit Curator
Simine Short can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com
Simine Short's book about Chanute : Locomotive to Aeromotive : Octave Chanute and the Transportation Revolution is now available from the University of Illinois Press
(Press Release)
In 1896 an historic glider flight in the Indiana Dunes signaled the dawn of aviation. In command was Octave Chanute, a Paris born civil engineer with a passion for flight.
An exhibition in The John Crerar Library of the University of Chicago celebrates Chanute's accomplishments and presents highlights from the visionary's career. Many of Chanute's personal books and writings are on display, as well as a model of the 1896 glider which first took flight in the Dunes. In addition, the exhibit provides a glimpse into the future of aviation and space technology with information provided by the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Chanute left his imprint on his adopted city of Chicago in many ways. He designed and supervised the building of the Chicago Union Stock Yards in 1865. Years later, in 1886, he and Joseph Card formed the Chicago Tie Treatment Company. To verify the life span of the railroad ties treated in his plant, Chanute brought date nails from Europe and introduced this kind of record keeping to the United States. Some of these nails are on display.
The exhibition emphasizes Chanute's and Chicago's impressive role in the early history of aviation. He not only experimented with flight, but also extended support to many early aviation pioneers, including the Wright brothers. He was responsible for organizing the International Aeronautics Congress in August 1893 as part of the World's Colombian Exposition in Chicago. This was the first aviation conference in the United States.
Octave Chanute was an important benefactor to The John Crerar Library. He arranged for the Western Society of Engineers to donate their books to the Crerar Library, in the 1890s, and much of his own private library was donated to the Crerar at the beginning of the 20th century. It is available for today's students and scholars pursuing their passion for the history of flight.
The exhibit was on display from November 1, 2001 to June 1, 2002 in the atrium of the John Crerar Library at the University of Chicago.

"The first couple of shifts I was careful because I wanted to see how I felt," he said. "When I got a couple of hits, I knew it was good and I could just relax and play my game. I wanted to come back and help the team, and I think that's what I did this game."'

John Bardeen (Physics, 1956 & 1972);
William Fowler (Physics, 1983);

Tornados Can't Hold Off Mountain LionsMarch 25, 2014
YOUNG HARRIS, Ga.-The Young Harris Mountain Lions scored seven runs in the 8th inning to erase an early Brevard College lead on their way to a 9-3 win over the Tornados on Tuesday evening at Zell B. Miller Field.
Young Harris scored nine unanswered runs to end the game, including seven runs in the 8th inning to seal the victory. Brevard's Dustin Haithcox (L, 2-1) was charged with five runs in the 8th, recording only one out before being pulled for Bennett Hixson.
BC got off to a 3-0 lead with two runs in the 3rd on two hits and an error. Matthew Proffitt single to lead off the inning and scored on a John Slade RBI groundout. Brock Helton then singled up the middle and later scored on a dropped fly ball by Young Harris' Spencer Thomas.
The Tornados had taken a 1-0 lead in the 2nd after Helton walked to start the inning, and scored on Brayden Morris' fielder's choice groundout.
The Tornados return to Gil Coan Field as they host the Anderson Trojans for a three-game series this weekend. Friday's opener is slated for 3 p.m.

Topic: Sad news!!!
My dad passed away this morning from this terrible disease. It has only been about 4 1/2 weeks since he was diagnosed. I want you to know that he was in terrible health before this diagnosis so I don't want anyone to get discouraged because this happened so fast. For those of you that have followed his progression of declining health, you know that he had given up already and wanted to go fast. I prayed to God last night to take him because he was such a proud man and did not want to be a burden on anyone. No matter what I told him, he just did not believe that we were alright with taking care of him. He felt he was a burden on us. I just want to let y'all know that you can fight this. Do not give up!!!!! I have read so many posts on here with wonderful news, so I know this "crap" can be fought and won. My brothers and I will keep all of you in our prayers and I will continue following your stories. Love to you all and KEEP ON FIGHTING!!!!!!!

Posted by Terry
The reason I was looking for someone like you was I couldn't find that Size board which would fit the length of a King Size bed. Also, when I finally received your product, I thought the price was very appealing vs all the work involved in finding the materials, cutting and assembling it. I like how all the pieces interlock perfectly. Plus you were very versatile in changing the design
Posted by Sally
I just finished upholstering the KING, ORLEANS STYLE headboard you made for me. I will recommend you to all my friends. The workmanship, quality and finish of the headboard were impressive. Thank you for your beautiful work and fair price.
Posted by Cynthia
Loved it! Thanks sooo much for beautiful work. I can now offer headboards in my workroom services and feel confident that the headboard will be beautiful - and I only have to do the upholstery! As I get more work orders for headboards, I will definitely be in touch! And cornices too!
Posted by John
The headboard looks great. The key features for us are: well made/well priced. good classic shapes which are easily adaptable quick ship delivery. As I say the client was very pleased. Look forward to the future.
Posted by Jane
Your website was a terrific "find" for me on the internet. The headboard arrived so quickly. My husband is an engineer, and he was impressed as to how it was made while he assembled it! My upholsterer was equally impressed, as well. I will be ordering two more headboards later this Spring. Thank you for your great service and product
Posted by Judy
I went with your headboard because the online tutorial showed how easy it was to put together and it was.
Other headboards that I have found online required me to put all the pieces together or had to still cut
up the wood myself.
Overall, I am really satisfied with my headboard. I really like how light-weighted the headboard is.
It made it easy to move around while I was upholstering it and even after it was set-up.
I am happy your headboard allowed me to customize my daughter's room to my exact preference.
Posted by Cheryl
I upholstered it, it is exactly what I wanted. I looked at upholstered headboards online and in catalogs
(Pottery Barn, J.C. Penney, Martha Stewart) but they were really expensive.
I was going to try and make my own and have Lowe's cut the wood and I would glue it, then I saw your website.
It was on YouTube on how to upholster a headboard. It was a short demonstration of your work and the price was
great. I didn't hesitate to buy it and I've told my friends about it.
Key elements? The choice of designs, the easy assembly (simple instructions with pictures and thanks for including
the screws and glue).
A very happy customer,
