Many times earth tone color palettes can become muted and bland. Not in this shoulder bag. It's bold, stylish, and can go with anything. The natural canvas is light in color and is a striking contrast to the black, hand printed stripe pattern. The front patch pocket is sewn in a deep, pine green canvas: dark in tone, with just a hint of earthy color. On the inside is a spicy orange cotton than adds warmth to this stand out style.
About the Design
The Patch Pocket Tote is designed for everyday function. The front of the tote has a pocket perfectly sized for today's larger of smartphones. To make opening easy and closing secure, the patch pocket is fastened with an invisible magnetic snap (and don't worry, modern smartphones aren't damaged by magnets). Like the Modern Messenger, my Patch Pocket Tote is made from a high quality, army duck canvas. This canvas is treated with a water-repellent wax finish. But unlike other wax canvases, its surface remain soft without the waxy touch. The Patch Pocket Tote is fully lined, with multiple pockets inside, including a small zippered pocket. And its straps are made from durable, seat belt webbing.
I carefully hand print and sewn each bag. With its functional details, this bag is meant to be carried any and everywhere. It's a go-to, everyday bag for anyone with an easy, fun style.

After a couple years of having cameras in her home watching her every move, Khloe Kardashian is ready to take a step out of the spotlight to focus on her marriage with Lamar Odom.
The 27-year-old reality star is reportedly putting her E! show "Khloe and Lamar" on hold until her husband's basketball career is back on track telling PEOPLE, "We just wanted to prioritize a little."
Treating themselves to a delicious meal, Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom were spotted at Serefina's restaurant in New York City last night (April 29).
Joined by Lamar's daughter Destiny Odom, the E! Reality Television pair looked snazzy as they hit up the popular eatery.
After unexpectedly getting traded to the Dallas Mavericks, Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian must now tackle the task of house hunting in their new city.
She's been great at fitting in with her hubby Lamar Odom's friends, but Khloe Kardashian takes issue with pal Jamie Christopher's acting pursuits in the next episode of "Khloe and Lamar."
After an interview on StarCam Radio, Jamie is convinced that he should pursue his "childhood dream" of becoming a movie star, but Khloe's not convinced.
They always have such a fun time on their E! reality show, and Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom break out the handcuffs for the latest episode of "Khloe and Lamar."
Prior to a meeting for their Unbreakable unisex fragrance, the reality television stars decide to try out a pair of handcuffs on each other.
In an effort to keep the romance alive, Khloe Kardashian installed a 'sex swing' in her bedroom on the season premiere of "Khloe and Lamar."
Unfortunately, the E! reality star's carpentry skills left much to be desired, and the swing collapsed before she and her hubby Lamar Odom could make use of it.
Giving a taste of what's to come, a drama-filled promo video for Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's "Khloe & Lamar" Season 2 has just been released.
The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star and her NBA player hubby will premiere sophomore running of their show on E! on Sunday, February 19 and February 20 during a special two night event!
Making her way back home to Los Angeles, Khloe Kardashian flew into LAX Airport from Dallas on Monday night (February 6).
The E! reality star made the trip to do a little promotional work ahead of the February 19th season two premiere of her spinoff show "Khloe & Lamar," which airs at 10PM on E!.

Khari Harley will start at center for the Egg Harbor Township High School boys basketball team.
He is also the team's backup point guard.
That versatility is what makes the 6-foot-7 senior a Division I college prospect.
Harley makes the Eagles a team to watch this season.
"We're expecting the world from him this season," EHT coach George McNally said of Harley.
"He's improved his conditioning, his strength. He handles the ball well and is one of the best shooters on the team."
EHT also will rely on senior point guard Trey Jones, a three-year starter.
"He's a physical kid," McNally said.
Most of all, McNally expects Harley and Jones to be examples for the team's younger players.
The Eagles return few other standouts from last season's 12-12 team. But EHT will feature several talented inexperienced players.
Junior guards Marcus Bynum and Keyshawn McMahon will provide energy.
Junior Jonah Surman and freshman Robinson Normal are perimeter shooters who will help stretch defenses. Ramell Steele, a 6-4 senior, will play inside.
"If we can score in the post, we'll be a difficult team to guard," McNally said. "We're hoping to create some matchup problems. This is the most complete team we've had at EHT in awhile, but it's also the most inexperienced team we've had in awhile."

Useful Herbs for an Equine Cough
Autumn and winter can be a miserable time when equine coughs are around. It's a time when there are colds and viruses circulating freely amongst our horses. Herbs can be a wonderful natural remedy for an equine cough and can be used as a preventative as well as a remedy. If we remember that most modern medicine originated from herbal medicine we know we are in good hands. Immune Booster Plus is a perfect remedy when your horse has an equine cough.
There are four different categories of herbs that are commonly utilised to help combat an equine cough as well as the common cold and we will discuss the different herbs as we go. To start with prevention we must first look at boosting the immune system so it is better able to fight off any bugs.
Herbs such as Rosehips which contain vitamin C are wonderful for overall health and they are said to improve strength in the hooves as well. Kelp is another general herb which is brilliant for its natural composition of vitamins and minerals. It is stacked full of goodness and can easily be added to your horses daily feed.
Herbs that directly stimulate the immune system to fight the infection are used during and possibly even to prevent colds when given prior to the obvious signs of illness. Echinacea and Asian ginseng are two examples in this category. They are ideally given at this time of year when you know bugs are circulating and the herbs can quietly be working before the bugs start flying.
Herbs that promote a mild fever, hence sweating (known as diaphoretics) may be useful when horses have colds and viruses as this helps fight the infection. Because a fever is a sign of the immune system working, it may be that diaphoretics are also immune stimulators like the first category. Elder, boneset and yarrow are three examples.
The third category of helpful herbs includes herbs that may directly kill the viruses that cause colds, based on test tube studies. Goldenseal, myrrh and usnea are examples. These herbs have been shown to work directly on viruses so can also be helpful when your horse is unwell.
Finally, some herbs are used just to alleviate symptoms such as sore throats. These herbs tend to be high in mucilage and are soothing and anti-inflammatory or have tannins that are astringent. Marshmallow and mullein are two examples. Symptom-relieving herbs may have other active constituents and mechanisms of actions. As you can see in the following list, many herbs fit in more than one category, such as goldenseal (immune stimulating and antiviral).
Symptom-relieving Astringent (soothe sore throat):
Reduce nasal stuffiness:
Relieve aches and pains:
Miscellaneous sore throat relief:
Therefore when it comes to helping your horses through winter and with the dreaded equine cough this year, think about the wonderful array of possibilities in natures medicine chest. Immune Booster Plus is the perfect remedy.The results can be very fast and very satisfying when you know you are feeding natural goodness to your horses.

The paper explores the manner in which written texts are selected and used in the adult ESOL classroom. Taking a sociocultural view of the reading process and of the nature of text, it argues that ESOL students have potentially rich textual resources which are typically not acknowledged in the classroom: in particular, the textual options embodied by the published textbook or the worksheet do not do justice to the rich and diverse textual worlds which adult ESOL learners inhabit. Drawing on Goffman's notion of 'authoring', the paper argues that ESOL students can be encouraged to reposition themselves as expert interpreters of classroom texts rather than passive consumers. Reading can be seen as the creation of new texts, as the interpreters rearticulate orthodox textual meaning to their own ends, in shared talk around the text. By way of illustration, two Adult ESOL classrooms are focused on which demonstrate contrasting ways in which texts are selected and exploited in the ESOL classroom. In addition, some views of students themselves are also discussed The paper concludes by proposing that classroom texts be seen by teachers and students as opportunities for textual authoring, where what is brought to texts is as important as any specific linguistic or content knowledge derived from them.

Prime Minister Julia Gillard has praised West Australian Opposition Leader Eric Ripper but says an upcoming vote on the leadership is a matter for the state Labor Party.
Mr Ripper maintains he has the numbers to see off a challenge for his job from treasury spokesman Ben Wyatt.
Mr Ripper is expected to convene a special caucus meeting for next Tuesday so MPs can vote on the issue after Mr Wyatt announced his challenge on Wednesday.
The challenge followed two days of damaging in-party friction after Pilbara MP Tom Stephens sent an email to MPs promoting a spill motion against the low-polling Mr Ripper at a caucus retreat on February 10.
Ms Gillard told reporters in Perth on Thursday that ultimately who led the state Labor Party was a matter for the state Labor Party.
"Eric Ripper has been a long term leading Labor figure in this state.
"He did a lot of good work as a leading member of the former government.
"He's a good person doing a very tough job as opposition leader but who leads the state Labor Party is a matter for state Labor members," Ms Gillard said.
Mr Wyatt, 36, said on Wednesday he was "confident there was strong appetite for change" and he was the candidate to bring that about and make sure Premier Colin Barnett's "unfair government" was held to account.
The 59-year-old Mr Ripper said he was disappointed by the challenge and he believed Mr Wyatt had made a mistake and did not have the numbers.
Opinion polls have been consistently against Mr Ripper.
A Newspoll published on Friday showed 60 per cent of voters preferred Mr Barnett as premier, compared with just 16 per cent for the opposition leader.

LARAMIE, Wyo. -
Dual results | Video Highlights
Despite holding a lead with three matches to go, the Wyoming Cowboy wrestling team let a close dual slip away to No. 2 Oklahoma State on Sunday, 24-17.
But the Pokes gave the 1,184 fans in the Arena-Auditorium something to cheer about, winning four consecutive matches. Wyoming's Shane Onufer (165 pounds), Patrick Martinez (174), Joe LeBlanc (184) and Alfonso Hernandez (197) earned wins to keep Wyoming in contention the whole day.
"I don't care who you're wrestling, the loss is the same," Wyoming coach Mark Branch said. "We had some good efforts, put ourselves in position against a great team to have an opportunity to win, but when you lose, you lose. I liked a lot of things and the fact we got some things rolling, but we dropped off there at the end and didn't capitalize. To beat a team like that, we have to have an inspired effort from 10 guys."
Wyoming's first win of the dual came courtesy of Onufer, the sixth-ranked senior, when he beat 19th-ranked Dallas Bailey of Oklahoma State in a 9-3 decision at 165 pounds. Onufer, who beat Bailey in the title match in the Reno Tournament of Champions on Dec. 18, fell behind 3-1 in the second period, but used two takedowns and an escape to build a 6-3 lead. Two stalling penalties on Bailey and a riding-time advantage gave Onufer the 9-3 win. Onufer now is 16-1 on the year and 4-1 versus top-20 opponents.
"Shane reacted like a champion," Branch said of Onufer's win after the early deficit.
Sophomore Patrick Martinez had one of the most exciting wins of the dual, pinning Oklahoma State's Zach White at the 2:52 mark of the 174-pound bout. The two traded blows early, but it was Martinez who caught White on a takedown attempt and stuck his shoulder to the mat. The win, worth six points, made the team score 9-9 after five matches.
"Patrick gave up a takedown, and was getting ridden, and made an adjustment and hit a nice sit-out and popped up and went right back on the attack," Branch said.
Third-ranked senior LeBlanc kept the momentum rolling in the 184-pound match, beating OSU's Chris McNeil in a 17-1 technical fall. LeBlanc scored a takedown and four near-fall points in the first period en route to the dominating performance, as McNeil scored just one point through the 5-minute, 47-second match. LeBlanc's win, his 16th of the year, gave Wyoming a 14-9 lead in the team scoring.
Perhaps the most impressive performance of the night came from 12th-ranked Alfonso Hernandez. The Wyoming junior beat No. 5 Cayle Byers of OSU in a hard-fought 8-4 decision to give Wyoming a 17-9 lead with three matches remaining. Byers was the highest-ranked opponent Hernandez has beaten this season, and he earned his 24th win of the year.
"Fonz had probably the biggest win of his career," Branch said. "He's continued to show that he's been solid for us this year."
The dual began with the 141-pound match, and OSU's Josh Kindig, ranked 13th, defeated Wyoming's McCade Ford in an 8-2 decision. After that, OSU's Jamal Parks, ranked second, beat UW's Brandon Richardson in another 8-2 decision.
The 157-pound match went OSU's way as well, as No. 19 Albert White defeated Dakota Friesth in an 8-3 decision. That win gave Oklahoma State a 9-0 lead in the team standings.
Second-ranked Alan Gelogaev of OSU pinned Wyoming's L.J. Helbig in the heavyweight bout at the 3:22 mark. No. 10 Jon Morrison (OSU) beat Kasey Garnhart in a 4-1 decision in the 125-pound match, and in the final bout, the 133-pound matchup, No. 1 Jordan Oliver pinned Wyoming's Zach Zehner, ranked 14th, at the 5:44 mark.
The conclusion of the dual was a disappointment to Branch, but he and the Cowboys must regroup for a dual versus Oklahoma on Tuesday night.
"When you give up bonus points and a pin and only have a couple more matches ... We knew it was going to be tough at that point," Branch said. "You have to make something happen. We didn't make it happen those last three matches.
"We have things we can build on. There's good things to take from it and things to work on."
Wyoming will battle the Sooners at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the Arena-Auditorium.

The Western Sydney Wanderers will take their first steps in the Asian Champions League without top striker Tomi Juric, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
Juric came on at half-time during Saturday night's 2-0 win over Perth Glory and scored the decisive goal before picking up the strain at the end of the match.
The 22-year old's absence is a considerable blow as the Wanderers seek success in their first foray into Asian football, against Korean side Ulsan Hyundai at home on Wednesday night.
"It's a little disappointing that he got a little niggle on the weekend," coach Tony Popovic said on Tuesday. "After he came off on the weekend, I knew he was out immediately. The medical staff is pretty optimistic it will be a short-term injury. Whether that's [this] weekend or not remains to be seen, but if we're talking about possibilities [of playing] for this weekend [against Newcastle at home], that's a good sign."
In better news, Shinji Ono has overcome illness, goalkeeper Ante Covic trained fully after a groin injury and Jerome Polenz is free to resume after suspension.
"[Covic] trained well yesterday and we waited until this morning to see if there was any reaction once he'd cooled down overnight but he pulled up very well and trained well again today," Popovic said.
But the coach admitted none of the three players he signed specifically for ACL duty – Gol Gol Mebrahtu, Daniel Mullen and Antony Golec – were fit to start.
"I do see them having a role, which is why they were brought in, but at this immediate time, they're not ready," he said. "They're getting better each day, they're getting stronger and fitter. For me, I judge them day by day and see how they're training and see how they're improving. There's no timeframe on that and we'll know when they're ready."
While the ACL has proven a graveyard for several Australian clubs, Popovic is confident he has built a side that will acquit themselves strongly.
"We're certainly aware that it's a bit different style of football that we're up against and we're prepared for that," he said. "We still think the way we play can still be a strength of ours in this competition and we believe that, playing at home tomorrow night, we can show how good we are."
Asked how much research the Wanderers had been able to undertake on Ulsan, Popovic said it was tough to get a complete dossier.
"Only limited [because] it's been difficult because their season finished late last year," he said. "Since then they've had a coaching change, players coming and going and their season hasn't started. But we've done our homework and our research as best we can with the contacts we have and the footage that we've seen. We believe we know enough about them to be prepared."
Popovic was aware, however, about Ulsan's Brazilian trio, which features Caique, Almir and the prolific striker Rafinha – who scored in the final when Ulsan won the ACL in 2012.
"They've got some foreign players who excelled for them last year and they lost the title on the last day," he said. "So we know that they're dangerous. They're a good team, they're also Champions League winners of the past, so they know what they're doing in this competition."
Wanderers striker Mark Bridge, who has played in China and is a veteran of a Champions League campaign with Sydney FC in 2011, says "not much" needs to change in how they already prepare.
"We're a very competitive and fit team and we know our strengths extremely well," he said. "I think if we play to our ability in Asia, we'll be a force to be reckoned with."
Ulsan Hyundai coach Cho Min-Kook singled out Ono as the Wanderers' most dangerous player and revealed through a translator that he was well aware of their robust style.
"I watched the previous four games of the Wanderers and they have very specific tactics," he said. "The wing-backs and wingers are also very threatening. I'm taking careful tactics for them."

The new USDA meal pattern regulations require schools to serve more vegetables and whole grains.

Embedded in the maelstrom of a commuter hub, "The Terrace" makes a refreshingly smart appearance, marking the start of The Broadway and resting above Centre Court Shopping Centre.
Elegantly presented, the restaurant expresses a modern art deco-style interior, retaining the friendly character of Footlights while taking a step further into trendy territory.
The dining area was comfortably designed with enough space between tables to have a conversation without exchanging the details of your sordid weekend with the next table's latest update on Dora The Explorer. The music was pleasant and not too loud and for a Thursday there was sufficient company to provide a lively yet relaxing ambiance.
The service was equally as pleasing and my guest and I were met by a sleek Slovakian woman with a Martini bearing her name.
'Dana's Dirty martini' however only took after its namesake in the fact that it was deliciously sweet and immaculately presented and the approach of the staff was genuine and friendly throughout.
The first thing we noticed about the menu was that it was populated with favourites. From roast lamb to fresh vegetarian options and pizza, The Terrace is the sort of restaurant that can accommodate almost any taste.
The drinks menu which I hazard to say was thrice as long as the food menu was equally welcoming and my guest who is a teetotaller was thrilled at the extent of non-alcoholic beverages available.
Our meal began with a starter of pizza bread and Scottish moules mariniere.
The latter comes highly recommended, ranking higher in my book than most five star restaurants.
The mussels maintained the fresh, puffy texture of a newly plucked fruit de mer, were almost unusually large and settled in a divine mix of cream, white wine, garlic and shallot sauce with parsley and lemon that had a subtle aroma and delicate consistency and was consumed with warm bread, long after the mussels themselves disappeared.
For the main meal I chose a fresh, flaky sea bass adorned with capers and olives and my guest dined with reckless abandon on a leg of lamb cooked to perfection and falling off the bone.
Each dish was cooked according to its tradition, with the lamb basking in thick and tasty gravy and the Mediterranean flavour of the bass neither bashful nor overstated.
Both meals left barely any room for the dessert, which did not fail to impress either. The texture of the amaretto soaked lemon drizzle cake was like that of extremely moist polenta but actually was derived from ground almond and despite its rich flavour I was able to consume it in its entirety.
When I inevitably return to The Terrace I will sample the dessert cocktail menu and report back. In the meantime I highly recommend The Terrace for dinner or especially for parties as they have specialised catering menus for small and large groups as well as two wide-screen TV's that will be active during the summer for the Olympics and other sporting events.
But if that's not your bag you can also enjoy highlights like live music, a nightclub on Friday and Saturday nights, Sunday brunches and a family-friendly atmosphere with a great kids menu.
In addition to all this there are the two large balcony areas which are a long standing favourite in sunny weather.

Downpour after downpour, the Williamstown Wiffleball League played through the torrential rain, trying to wrap up their ninth annual tournament.
But after a final thunderstorm flooded the outfield of Williamstown High School's Hale Field, the tournament ended just before the playoffs started on July 25.
The Williamstown boys' cross-country team set a goal of making it to state as a team last season. At the region meet, the boys needed to come in fifth or better, but after a seventh place finish, the team missed out on state.
They're using that as motivation for this season as coach Michelle Whaley has seen a more determined, driven team at the start of their summer practices.
The Grant County 8-year-old all-stars spent all winter preparing for this season, working hard in practices to make the most of their upcoming baseball season.
The all-stars ended their season with a third place finish in the Cal Ripken State Tournament in Louisville on July 19.
"I'm very happy. It means a lot to me and it was a lot of fun," Cole Kemper said. "It's fun to play against other teams that you don't know. It was all fun."
After running at Grant County Park for years, the Grant County cross-country team will call a new course home this season.
They'll have to learn the ins and outs of a new course, as the team will run at Sherman Elementary.
"We have a wonderful lay of land and it will be a quicker course than at Grant County Park," coach Marlon Kinsey said. "We'll miss the trails, but we do have some shade on the course. This course will be more out in the open."
The Grant County High School girls' golf team barely missed qualifying as a team for the state tournament last season.
This season, they plan to make up for last season's finish and are setting a goal of finishing first in the region.
Yellow caution flags flew frequently towards the end of the Built Ford Tough 225.
Ron Hornaday, Jr. battled Mike Skinner to the end, taking advantage of several late restarts to win the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Race at the Kentucky Speedway on July 18. The win at Kentucky was Hornaday Jr.'s third consecutive win.
"I hate to say it, but we didn't have the truck to win," Hornaday Jr. said. "It's just the restarts worked out in our favor and Rick Ren (Hornaday Jr.'s crew chief) did a great job."
As July 14 became July 15, the Grant County cross-country teams were off and running.
The team began their practice at midnight, the first date that Kentucky High School Athletic Association allows fall sports to practice. The team ran under the lights at the Grant County High School track, competing in their first team time trials of the season.
The boys' team returns several runners. The team will be led by senior Shannon Fabela, the only senior on this year's team.
The Williamstown volleyball team is getting back to basics.
In coach Wes Staff's first year as varsity coach, the Lady Demons are focusing on learning the fundamentals of the game, hoping to get faster and stronger.
"The key things that we're trying to work on right now are fundamentals, strength and agility," Staff said. "That's going to progress. Those are my three themes throughout the year."
The GCHS volleyball team is looking to become a force in the district.
Coach Kelli Lee believes their hard work this summer will make a difference during the season.
After 36 holes, it came down to a putt on the 18th green for Jeremy Martin.
With the swing of his putter, Martin took first place at the Northern Kentucky Men's Amateur on July 9 at Lassing Pointe Golf Course in Union.
Martin shot 136 to earn first place in the championship flight, shooting 70 on the first day and 66 on the second day.

The bathroom needs plenty of even, shadow-free lighting for shaving, grooming, and applying makeup. In a smaller bath, mirror lights will illuminate the entire room, but in larger spaces an additional ceiling fixture is needed for general lighting.
Placing light fixtures on each side of the above-sink mirror will illuminate both sides of the face evenly.
Fixtures equipped with incandescent or fluorescent bulbs behind glass or plastic diffusers provide very good, flattering light.
You can also mount an additional fixture across the top of the mirror or from the ceiling.
Take a look at the
bathroom lighting
options included in our Holiday Sale. New lighting fixtures are quick, easy way to update and brighten your guest bath.
To give your bath more personal charm and a warmer look, try adding an
iron bathroom fixture
. Iron sconces in the bath provide an interesting natural texture that is warm and rustic.
Another big, continuing trend places crystal in the bath for an added sparkle and a pampered spa feel. We have seen
contemporary crystal wall fixtures
do well, but more
traditional mini-pendants
can also work for larger spaces.

Selena Gomez Covers ELLE July 2012
With her new short film "Fifty Shades of Blue" having recently been released, Selena Gomez garnered herself a little added exposure by covering the July 2012 issue of ELLE magazine.
The 19-year-old singer/actress is clad in a Balmain embroidered lambskin top with a Mugler Viscose skirt on a bright yellow backdrop for the Carter Smith shot front page while talking about topics including Hollywood, fashion and Justin Bieber.
Highlights from Miss Gomez's interview are as follows. For more, be sure to pay a visit to ELLE!
On Bieber renting out LA's Staples Center for a private screening of Titanic:
"If I'll share anything with you, it's that he really is a hopeless romantic. I had just mentioned it in the car - all I said is that I really want to see Titanic again, and then."
On growing up poor:
"I can remember about seven times when our car got stuck on the highway because we'd run out of gas money." Still her mother, "saved up to take me to concerts. She took me to museums, aquariums, to teach me about the world, about what's real."
On Disney:
"Disney is a machine, so people automatically assume that you can't work for the channel unless you act and sing and dance and sign up for all that. That's absolutely not true. I always did everything the way I wanted to do it."
On her movie offers:
"I get offered the teenybopper movies, and I've done that. I haven't done a mega-hundred-billion-dollar Transformers movie, but that's not what I want to do either."
On seeing Jennifer Lopez in Selena at age five:
"I made a bustier out of a bathing suit that I dyed black. I put glue and glitter all over it and I wouldn't take it off."

Six members of a District gang who police said had beaten and robbed residents in busy areas of Chinatown, Dupont Circle and U Street pleaded guilty to various charges of robbery and assault in D.C. Superior Court on Tuesday.
Members of the crew, which went by the name "Show Out," have been charged with a number of attacks since January 2012. Authorities said the members would canvas city streets looking for victims to attack, rob or both. They would also engage in "flash mob" style robberies of drug stores, gas stations and convenience stores in which multiple gang members flooded into the businesses at the same time in an effort to overwhelm and intimidate the staff and then steal items. Sometimes they would even attack homeless people, authorities said.
In November, police announced the indictment of nine of the members. In court Tuesday, six of them — Bernard Trowell, 19; Deandre M. Williams, 19; Quayshawn L. Leggett, 20; James D. Matheny, 19; Ricardo J. Williams, 20; and Travis L. Morris, 20 — all pleaded guilty to charges of assault, robbery and being members of a street gang. All six remain in D.C. jail.
Prosecutors said two other members had pleaded guilty earlier, and a third member of the crew is being sought.
Sentencing is scheduled before Judge Lynn Leibovitz on May 10. The defendants face maximum sentences of between 15 and 48 years in prison.
"Today's guilty pleas by six members of the Show Out Crew should serve as a warning to young people tempted by the lure of gang life," U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Machen Jr. said in a statement. "This violent group took pleasure in targeting innocent victims for beatings and robberies. As a result of the decision to participate in this crew violence, each of these criminals — none older than twenty — will now spend many years behind bars. This prosecution demonstrates our clear resolve to crush the gangs that terrorize our city."
At the time of the indictment, D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said the gang members also belonged to another crew made up primarily of gay and bisexual teenagers.

Atlantic and Gulf Coast shorelines include some of the most unique and biologically rich ecosystems in the United States that provide immeasurable aesthetic, habitat and economic benefits. Natural coastal ecosystems, however, are under increasing threat from rampant and irresponsible growth and development. Once a boon to local economies, complex natural forces – enhanced by global climate change and sea level rise - are now considered hazards and eroding the very foundation upon which coastal development is based. For nearly a century, beach restoration and erosion control structures have been used to artificially stabilize shorelines in an effort to protect structures and infrastructure. Beach restoration, the import and emplacement of sand on an eroding beach, is expensive, unpredictable, inefficient and may result in long-term environmental impacts. The detrimental environmental impacts of erosion control structures such as sea walls, groins, bulkheads and revetments include sediment deficits, accelerated erosion and beach loss. These and other traditional responses to coastal erosion and storm impacts- along with archaic federal and state policies, subsidies and development incentives - are costly, encourage risky development, artificially increase property values of high-risk or environmentally sensitive properties, reduce the post-storm resilience of shorelines, damage coastal ecosystems and are becoming increasingly unsustainable. Although communities, coastal managers and property owners face increasingly complex and difficult challenges, there is an emerging public, social and political awareness that, without meaningful policy reforms, coastal ecosystems and economies are in jeopardy. Strategic retreat is a sustainable, interdisciplinary management strategy that supports the proactive, planned removal of vulnerable coastal development; reduces risk; increases shoreline resiliency and ensures long term protection of coastal systems. Public policies and management strategies that can overcome common economic misperceptions and promote the removal of vulnerable development will provide state and local policy makers and coastal managers with an effective management tool that concomitantly addresses the economic, environmental, legal and political issues along developed shorelines.

1. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradeabean Nov 6, 2013 3:13 PM (in response to abean)
Back on the phone with VZW now that I'm seeing others are having these issues, that and I got a text from the VZW rep. They have confirmed that they know of two of the issues:
- Verizon car charger isn't working
- Text messaging contact issue
On hold to talk to Samsung now.
2. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradeC5Vette Nov 6, 2013 4:05 PM (in response to abean)
I have some of the same issues since the 4.3 update. My wifi will now not work unless I'm standing on top of the router. My son's s3 has very strong 7 mbps and mine right next to it has weak and 1 mbps and I'm only 10 feet from the router. Also my Verizon charger quit working on it after the update.
This is very frustrating and essentially makes data useless at home.....
3. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradeDave-in-Decatur Nov 6, 2013 6:08 PM (in response to abean)
Yeah, I think when a Verizon rep says, "No one else has reported these problems," that means "No one else has reported these problems to me personally since my last coffee break." All these are widely reported issues on this forum and on Android Central, including the WiFi issues. It's not possible that Verizon had not heard of them.
4. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradeC5Vette Nov 6, 2013 7:27 PM (in response to Dave-in-Decatur)
Maybe so.... I have definitely seen the wifi issue addressed elsewhere.
C'MON Verizon! Fix my wifi!!!! Do it quickly! When it comes to a smart phone the 2 most important things are: 1) the mobile network 4G and 2) Wifi connectivity.... I can do without a bunch of other things before wifi!
Oh, and it would be kind of cool if my VERIZON car charger actually charged the phone! Who would think an update would prevent a charger from charging?
5. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradedkreiner Nov 6, 2013 9:31 PM (in response to abean)
My phone is doing some of these things after the update, and it is also saying that I don't have an SD card. I've tried restarting my phone a few times, and I've tried removing and reinserting my SD card one time. Most of my pics are backed up but not the latest ones, and I've got ringtones and other stuff on the SD card that I'd like to have. Any suggestions for what to do?
6. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradeabean Nov 7, 2013 4:32 AM (in response to abean)
So, I've posted this same thread in androidcentral and droidforums. Getting a lot of feedback in all three with users reporting similar problems. Definitely glad to hear it's not just us ...
Talked to another VZW rep who this time confirmed that they've heard of some of these issues. He then forwarded me over to Samsung where I spent a good half hour defending myself. He continually stated that this wasn't their issue. That it was either my phone or VZW ... It was quite frustrating. After continually defending myself he finally gave and put me on hold. Came back and stated that after speaking with other colleagues that he had been informed that supposedly there "might" be a maintenance patch in the works that "might" be pushed out within the next month. I think this was his way of getting me off the phone.
All he could recommend was to do a master reset and see what happens thereafter. The fact that both of our phones are doing this and many other users are reporting similar problems, leads me to believe that I would be wasting my time; however what if any options do I/we have? He had stated that should this not work, that I could pursue them re flashing the phone and going through some multiple point check. Ok, no? That would require lack of a phone for probably a week or two.
I dunno, I'm just at a loss at this point. I miss my GNexus and probably won't pursue future Samsung phones at this point. What happened to QA?
7. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradetikibar1 Nov 7, 2013 5:50 AM (in response to dkreiner)
Regarding the SD card issue ... did you see this?
Re: S4 not reading the SD card after the Android 4.3 update?
8. Re: Multiple problems with S4 post 4.3 upgradeDave-in-Decatur Nov 7, 2013 7:21 AM (in response to C5Vette)
Yeah, that is obnoxious. I haven't tried my car charger yet (non-Verizon, non-Samsung). But there's something I've read about the phone detecting an extra wire or pin in Samsung 2-amp chargers, or maybe just 2-amp chargers generally, to know how much current to draw. I wonder if the update has somehow messed that up so that it won't charge at all unless it detects a certain kind of charger.

Interesting, isn't it, that while every business organization, at least in the U.S. and I'll bet elsewhere as well, has put some kind of "quality" program put in place (often at great cost in actual productivity, as my wife can attest) over the last decade, and other organizations such as universities are having it foisted on them as well--actual quality has continued its precipitous decline.

McKeesport basketball coach Gadson resigns
"It was just that time."
And with that, McKeesport is in the market for a boys basketball coach for only the second time in nearly a quarter century.
Corey Gadson handed in his resignation Wednesday, ending one of the most successful stints in the near 100-year existence of the McKeesport basketball program.
Gadson won 175 games, including 17 in the postseason. He won four section titles, had four 20-win seasons and was the Class AAAA runner-up once in his 11 years at McKeesport.
"You get to the point where you aren't looking forward to the spring workouts or the summer and everything you have to prepare for the next season," said Gadson, a 1973 Clairton graduate. "When that happens, you know then that it is time. In my mind, I just had to let it go."
Gadson leaves McKeesport as the school's third all-time winningest coach behind Neenie Campbell (398) and Dan Pacella (330).
"I had some wonderful times at McKeesport," Gadson said. "Just being accepted into the Tiger family was nice for me."
Gadson coached the better part of the past three decades at Clairton girls, CCAC-South, East Allegheny and Clairton boys and had a rather non-descript career until replacing Dan Pacella at McKeesport in 2003.
Pacella coached 20 years and won a pair of WPIAL titles before giving way to Gadson after a couple down years.
Before Gadson arrived, McKeesport had back-to-back 18-loss seasons, four straight losing seasons and hadn't won a playoff game since 1999. With Gadson, McKeesport missed the playoffs twice in 11 seasons and never finished below .500.
"We weren't very relevant in the years before he came," McKeesport athletic director Charley Kiss said. "In his time as head coach, not only did the program become relevant again, but they were viewed as a contender in most years."
Gadson took over a 5-18 team (winless in the section) in 2003 and instantly made the Tigers contenders.
McKeesport went 18-8 and won a WPIAL and state playoff game in Gadson's first year that would set a foundation of things to come.
The Tigers put together back-to-back 22-win seasons and came within a quarter of winning their first WPIAL title since 1995 when it dropped a 56-46 decision to Mt. Lebanon in the 2006 Quad-A championship game.
"We had some really good teams and really nice players come through here," Gadson said. "That 2006 team was a special group. There were a few of them but that was definitely one of them."
The Tigers haven't enjoyed as much success recently with two 11-11 seasons in the past three, but Gadson said that didn't have anything to do with his decision to step aside.
"It wasn't a rash decision," Gadson said. "I just knew it was time. I haven't given much thought of what I am going to do now. I might go see some Pitt games or go down and watch Duquesne. I am sure my wife will be happy around the holidays."

The amount in dispute is $260.00. I know not a big amount, but it is not something I want to pay after I told him not to do it.
The lawn cutting services he provides are done every three weeks or so. But it is the winter aeration that I specifically told him I did not want done.
It is an optional service he provides outside of the tri-weekly lawn care service. I have proof through text that I told him not to do this. I know that may not count for much. But even on the invoice he sent me, his dates are completely wrong on when the services were rendered as well.

Fatal Fury: Wild Ambition
Terry by CFranke
Updated: | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
Author: Clemens Franke
For the newest version of this faq and a lot more freaky Fatal Fury and Art
of Fighting stuff, visit my homepage at http://members.xoom.com/realbout
Welcome to another one of my Terry guides. Yes, no one needs a guide for him
in Wild Ambition, cause he´s very strong and not too hard to play, but I was
bored, so I typed this faq up. Oh well.
Fatal Fury Wild Ambition is the first polygonal FF game. It runs on SNK´s
Hyper Neo Geo 64 hardware. I still plan on buying a Hyper setup, if I do,
prepare for faqs about some Hyper games and/or the Hyper itself.
I only played the PlayStation version of Wild Ambition, so I´m sorry if any
of the things here doesn´t work on the arcade version. But as far as I know,
there are no differences at all.
Mail me!!!
If you have any suggestions, corrections or something to contribute feel free
to e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Of course you will be credited.
Or, even better, leave a message on my homepage´s BBS:

Athena Leadership Labs for Barnard Students
(ENT) Startup Fundamentals- Storytelling (through Comedy): The Most Important Skill to Succeed in Business
Athena Center for Leadership Studies
Tuesday, March 4, 2014 from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM (EST)
Entrepreneurial spirit is something that can and does flourish at any time and for many reasons. If successful startup founders of the last 20 years are any indication, then the most critical skill you'll need to start a venture is your ability to build lasting professional relationships by crafting and telling stories that inspire people to action.
Do you think you need an MBA to start a business or NGO? Or that you have to code proficiently or have a few years of corporate experience under your belt first? Do you need years of expertise to attract resources to your cause or passion? This workshop shows none of the above has to be true to pitch a business, idea, or cause successfully. Pluck, entrepreneurial spirit, and the art of storytelling may be the magic formula—for budding entrepreneurs and for anyone interested in conveying their passion to an audience. Beyond that, who doesn't love the opportunity to practice incorporating comedy and performance to hold the attention of an audience?
This workshop will cover:
Alli & Jen are co-creators of Blogologues and Co-Creative Directors of Lively Productions, a nonprofit arts organization that explores the influence of new media on storytelling, with a focus on promoting women's voices. Allison and Jen co-conceived, produced and performed in Blogologues beginning in May 2011, and have subsequently created and performed in fifteen new versions of the show throughout lower Manhattan. Blogologues has been featured in Time Out New York ("Your Perfect Weekend", print + online, April & November 2013), The New York Times (Aug. 2013 Critics' Pick), CBS (5 best things to do in NYC), The Guardian, Mashable, The Huffington Post and more.
They have created content for brands such as The Guardian, Mashable and Time Out New York, and lead comedy + public speaking workshops for companies and student groups. They've spoken and performed at conferences nationwide, including SXSW, the ArtsTech Unconference, and TheLi.st Summit. Alli and Jen both graduated from Yale University and have been members of Actors' Equity Association since 2006.
The Athena Center for Leadership Studies was established in fall 2009 and is dedicated to the advancement of inspired and courageous women leaders around the world.

London, UK (SPX) May 03, 2013
Hydrocarbon exploration and production continues to press into the most remote corners of the western Amazon, one of the most biologically and culturally diverse zones on Earth.
A new best practice framework that combines technical engineering criteria with ecological and social concerns could reduce the negative environmental impacts of such development, according to research published May 1 in the open access journal PLOS ONE by Matt Finer from the Center for International Environmental Law and colleagues from other institutions.
The study focused on Loreto, a region in northern Peru that recently made headlines when the Peruvian government declared an environmental state of emergency following years of extensive oil contamination in parts of the area.
"Loreto makes an ideal case study because it is one of the largest and most dynamic hydrocarbon zones in the Amazon. Following the state of emergency, there is an added urgency to develop methods to minimize the impacts of any future development," said Finer.
The results of this study reveal that implementing best practice guidelines for engineering are not likely to substantially increase costs when compared to a conventional project plan.
Another key finding was that Extended Reach Drilling (ERD), a technique to reach a larger subsurface area from one surface drilling location, could reduce the total number of drilling platforms and access roads needed for a project.
Using ERD with other best practice components, such as reduced pipeline right-of-way and a prohibition on new access roads, could reduce project-related deforestation by well over 75%, according to the study.
The study also illustrates that key ecological and social factors must be considered.
"The vast majority of planned drilling wells, production platforms, and pipeline routes overlap sensitive areas such as protected areas, indigenous territories, critical ecosystems, and vital watersheds," said Clinton Jenkins from NC State University.
"Identifying these types of potentially conflictive overlaps early in the planning process is essential to avoiding future conflicts."

Our research program has two complimentary goals. The first is the discovery of new pharmacological agents derived from marine organisms. The second is centered on the functions, dynamics, and organization of the actin cytoskeleton, which is emerging as a prominent point of action of marine natural products. We have discovered several new classes of marine natural products that target the actin cytoskeleton with different actin-binding properties. These agents are invaluable as tools for investigating the actin cytoskeleton, which participates in many aspects of cell behavior and plays an important role in cancer and other human diseases. Latrunculin A and B are unusual 16- and 14-membered marine macrolides that sequester monomeric actin and mimics G-actin sequestering proteins. Swinholide A and misakinolide are structurally similar unusual dimeric macrolides that bind to two actin monomers, but swinholide A severs actin filaments while misakinolide caps the barbed end of filaments. These agents disrupt actin organization in a distinctive manner. We are continuously testing new marine compounds for actin inhibition and recently we have identified a number of new and powerful sponge-derived marine macrolides that induces different patterns of actin organization, and have different actin binding properties.
In addition to actin as a molecular target for marine natural products, we have identified a group of aromatic alkaloids containing a fused tetracyclic pyrido[2,3,4-kl]acridine ring system that exert remarkable effects on cell shape and adhesion and are potent regulators of growth and differentiation of transformed cells.

New York (AFP) Aug 1, 2010
Amazon, by slashing the price of the Kindle, is hoping to turn its electronic book reader into a device with mass market appeal, one for "serious readers" distinct from Apple's multi-purpose iPad.
Amazon, the pioneer of the e-book business, last week unveiled a 139-dollar wireless-only version of the basic Kindle, less than six weeks after dropping the price of the e-book reader to 189 dollars from 259 dollars.
Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos said sales growth for the Kindle "tripled" following the price cut to 189 dollars and the company is anticipating that the even-lower price will spur further sales.
"The Wi-Fi only device for 139 dollars clearly targets a mass market audience," said Bank of America analyst Justin Post.
At 139 dollars, the Kindle is "edging closer to a tipping point price of 99 dollars" which could trigger widespread adoption, Post said.
"It's a very compelling price point for someone who's looking for a single purpose device which has a rich functionality," agreed Shawn DuBravac, chief economist with the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA).
US bookstore chain Barnes & Noble sells a version of its e-reader, the Nook, for 149 dollars while Sony's cheapest e-reader is 150 dollars and the iPad is going to set a buyer back at least 499 dollars.
Amazon does not release sales figures for the Kindle but says it has been the online retail giant's best-selling item for two years. Research firms and analysts estimate the number sold at more than three million units.
Apple sold nearly 3.3 million iPads in just the first three months since it hit store shelves but the competition from the trendy California gadget maker has Amazon unfazed.
The tablet computer from Apple allows users to watch video, listen to music, play games or surf the Web in addition to reading digital books but the Kindle, as Amazon founder Bezos has stressed repeatedly, is "all about reading."
"The Kindle device will succeed by being the best dedicated e-reader in the world," Bezos told Amazon shareholders in May, comparing it to a camera on a phone and a dedicated camera.
"If activities are important, then (people) end up getting dedicated devices because they're always going to do the job better," he said. "Serious readers, they're going to want a purpose-built device."
CEA's DuBravac said Amazon's approach may succeed.
"One of the things that's happened over the last several decades is that consumers have adopted technology," DuBravac said, adding that there are now "roughly 24 products per household."
"What that enables the consumer to do is go to the device that is most meaningful for the experience that they're looking for," he said.
Amazon insists that when it comes to reading e-books, the device that does it best is the Kindle and its black-and-white electronic ink screen is better than the iPad's backlit color LCD display, which Bezos says causes eye strain.
When Amazon introduced the Kindle nearly three years ago it was selling for 359 dollars and industry analysts believe the company may now be selling the devices at below manufacturing cost.
"Following the razor-blade model, Amazon appears to be taking a small margin on the razor (the Kindle) and planning to make it up on the blades (the e-books)," wrote analyst Paul Ausick of website 247WallSt.com.
Amazon's US Kindle store currently offers more than 630,000 titles and the company announced this month that it was now selling more e-books a month than hardcover books, a trend that Bezos expects to accelerate.
"I predict we will surpass paperback sales sometime in the next nine to 12 months," the Amazon founder said in an interview with USA Today. "Sometime after that, we'll surpass the combination of paperback and hardcover."

''There is a campus group that is nearly untouchable.
It is one of the largest and most powerful student groups, able to turn campus upside down with a single phone call. Very few columnists or reporters have had the gall to speak against the group's policies, because the Stater is very afraid of them - and they have good reason to be.
They are immeasurably powerful.
They are Black United Students.
And I am not afraid.
I didn't believe it. Even as I heard the exact same dialog from every non-black student and coworker I discussed BUS with, I had a hard time believing that a group fighting for equal rights would covertly push away other people fighting for the same cause.

The Fix's first rankings of the 2016 Republican presidential field!
Jimmy Fallon on the upcoming departure of Obama's chief speechwriter (VIDEO)
Why President Obama is about to deliver his most important State of the Union address
* The Secret Service is investigating a hacker's apparent theft of e-mails and photos belonging to the Bush family. The material was posted on The Smoking Gun Web site on Thursday, and includes e-mails showing intimate moments in the lives of former presidents George H.W. Bush and his son, George W. Bush.
* Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) will deliver the "Tea Party response" to President Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night, the group Tea Party Express announced on Friday. Paul will speak directly after Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) delivers the formal Republican response to Obama, the organization said.
* Former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. has reportedly signed a plea deal with the Justice Department regarding the misuse of campaign funds. Jackson resigned his seat late last year amid mental health issues and a federal investigation of his political dealings.
* Bill Clinton received a very warm welcome at House Democrats' annual policy retreat Friday -- apparently even warmer than the reception Obama received a day before. Clinton weighed in on immigration, gun control, and health care, among other things. "It's important to do immigration right and as soon as possible," he said. When a person in the crowd shouted: "We miss you, Clinton replied: "Sometimes, I miss you."
* Comedy Central's Stephen Colbert also appeared at the retreat, where House Minority leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) tried to convince him to become a Democrat. "Governor Nikki Haley rejected you; we will welcome you with open arms," she said. Colbert said he and Pelosi were "best frenemies." He also sang the Star Spangled Banner with Rep. Joe Crowley (D-N.Y.)
* Pelosi will bring a child from Newtown, Conn., and her mother to Obama's State of the Union address on Tuesday. The child does not attend Sandy Hook Elementary School, where a mass shooting occurred late last year. An aide said Pelosi invited the child after she wrote the Democratic leader a letter explaining that she had launched a petition drive in Newtown to urge Congress to pass a ban on assault weapons.
* Republicans are keeping up their effort to blame Obama for triggering the threat of the sequester. The office of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) is using the Twitter hashtag #obamaquester.
* The former White House physician who publicly expressed concerns about New Jersey Republican Gov. Chris Christie's weight says she received an angry call from Christie and is now reconsidering her previous support for him. "Politically if this is the way [he handles] stress… is this presidential? I'll have to think about that. Is this a presidential way to behave?" Dr. Connie Mariano asked.
* Actor/director Clint Eastwood said his speech at last year's Republican National Convention, in which he used a chair to symbolize Obama, "seemed odd at the time." But, he added, "I'm an odd person." Eastwood joked: "One thing about getting into the senior status of life, like I am, you don't really care. You just say what you say, and then you get away with it."
* New Hampshire Republican state Rep. Bill O'Brien is considering challenging Democratic Rep. Ann McLane Kuster in 2014. O'Brien served as the speaker of the state House of Representatives from late 2010 through 2012. The GOP lost its state House majority last November amid a Democratic wave in the election in the state.

Beatin' on the Rock
One day at a time
Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (Heb. 12:1b) Mile by Mile
Prince of Fatness
I have a couple of Halo headbands. They do a pretty good job keeping the sweat out of my eyes. I also were a cap to help shade my head.
I refuse to run without a sweat band (I know it is so 80's) inside and a baseball cap outside. I've had enough episodes with burning in the eyes!
