Topiary Trees For Christmas
History of the Christmas Tree
Christmas Traditions Around The World
The major similarity of Christmas around the world seems to be decorated trees, whether sparsely or richly decorated with widely varying types of Christmas tree ornaments. The ornaments themselves, though, tend to be more culture-specific, with Christmas balls only being traditional in some countries.
Historically trees, wreaths and garland as well as outdoor decorations began as fresh live articles. The trend has moved to artificial trees, wreaths and garland in order to preserve vegetation and save on cost as the artificial version looks like real and lasts for years.
Whether it's candles, decorated with greenery and
placed in the widows of Irish homes, or the traditional
visit to German Christmas Markets, many countries
celebrate the Christmas Holiday in their very own special way.
The first Christmas observance in the United States
was celebrated in authentic Spanish style. Hernando
de Soto and his army set up winter camp in the present
day city of Tallahassee, Florida in 1539. Since then, the
holiday traditions of many nations are seen across the
U.S. They bring their own traditions for the December
celebrations, and the diversity of the climate assists in
setting the scenes for the various types of festivities
from a Tex-Mex "posada" in Texas to carolers in
Jackson Square for a huge community sing with
bonfires lighting the skies.
In New York City, holiday shoppers watch the
skaters on the ice beneath the Rockefeller Center
while others gaze in awe at the Neapolitan Baroque
figures on the Angel Tree at the Metropolitan Museum
of Art.
There is an Enchanted Forest of 43 International Trees
in Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry, as well
as three crèches decorated by Chicago's cultural
community groups.
In St. Augustine, Florida there is an entire historic
area array in white lights. There is a city ordinance
which prevents anyone from displaying outdoor
colored Christmas lights. The only exception is the
Live Oak Tree located in the town square which is
colorfully decorated.
In Salt Lake City, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir
performs the great classical music of Christmas for
all to enjoy.
In Canada the holiday tradition is to decorate homes
with as many lights and favorite decorations possible
while sipping on hot chocolate or egg nog. After eating
a Christmas dinner of seafood and fish Midnight Mass
is attended followed by the opening of gifts. A tradition
many Canadians follow is of a wooden candelabra which
holds 25 individual candles with one large candle in the
center which represents Jesus. Each individual candle is
lit as a special intention for a special loved one.
Once lit, everyone sings Happy Birthday to Baby Jesus.
In Mexico there is the traditional "posada" or party every
Sunday before Christmas. It is a celebration of the arrival
of Mary & Joseph in Bethlehem. On Christmas Eve the
whole family gathers together for a magnificent dinner
to be followed by present opening.
In Ireland it is not unheard of to leave mince meat pie
and a bottle of Guinness for Santa Claus. There is
also the tradition of candles, decorated with greenery,
placed in windows on Christmas Eve to light the way
of the Holy Family.
Many Germans consider Christmas or "Weihnachten"
the most cheerful and important season of the year.
Very famous events are the Christmas Markets that
take place throughout Germany. These Markets are
little houses lined up selling Christmas ornaments,
candles, and so on. Another tradition is a wreath
decorated with Christmas ornaments and 4 candles
which are to be lit every Sunday until Christmas Eve.
December 8th or the Feast of the Immaculate Conception
begins the Christmas season for many Italians. After this
date many people start to put up their Christmas
decorations. The art of carving Nativity scenes is a
popular tradition which centers around the Naples area.
On Christmas Eve the most important meal of the
Christmas Holidays is celebrated even though most
Italians abstain for eating any kind of meat, as a kind
of fast. Midnight Mass is followed by their Christmas meal.
Christmas Day is celebrated in France with all the family.
On Christmas Eve, the children put their shoes (sabots)
in front of the fireplace. This is so Pere Noel
(Father Christmas) will fill them with presents. The
midnight service on Christmas Eve is traditionally
followed by a meal called "le reveillon"
(to wake up, or first call of the day.) Reveillon
is a symbolic spiritual awakening to meaning
of Christ's birth. After the festivities, it is
customary to leave a candle burning just in
case the Virgin Mary passes that way.
Christmas celebrations in the Philippines, the
only Asian nation in which Christianity is the
religion chosen by the people, starts nine days
before Christmas with a mass known as Misa de Gallo.
At this mass the story behind the birth of Christ is
read form the bible. The Panunuluyan pageant is
held each Eve. A couple is chosen to re-enact
Joseph and Mary's search for shelter. Religious
services include pastore, or play, based on myth
of the birth of the Christ Child. The pastores closes
with a star from the upper part of the church sliding
down a wire and coming to rest over the church's
Nativity scene.
Christmas in Australia is often very hot. It is not
unusual to have Christmas Day into the mid 30
degrees Celsius, or near 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
Some Australians often have their Christmas dinner
at midday on a local beach, Bondi Beach in Syndney.
The warm weather allows Australians to enjoy a tradition
which commenced in 1937. Carols by Candlelight is held
on Christmas Eve, where tens of thousands of people gather
in the city of Melbourne to sing their favorite Christmas songs.
The evening is lit by just as many candles dancing under a
clear night sky.
Christmas is a very special time of the year that is celebrated
by traditions that bring forth family and friends to express
joy and happiness of life and all that it entitles. We offer

New features would allow younger children to sign up for the first time. Will this make keeping track of your child easier or more difficult?
Parental controls may be part of a new suite of tools available to parents who wish to allow children under 13 to access Facebook.
Jump to live chat highlights | View the comment stream on Facebook.
Citing unnamed sources, the Wall Street Journal is reporting that under-13 "features" could be appended to games and entertainment on the site, giving parents an opportunity to ensure a safer experience.
Facebook told the paper that it is "in continuous dialogue with stakeholders, regulators and other policy makers about how best to help parents keep their kids safe in an evolving online environment".
Zuckerberg has long been a proponent of allowing greater access for youngsters. He has has said the potential for educational opportunity trumps a mandate by the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (Coppa) that websites collecting data about users allow children under age 13 to enroll.
"That will be a fight we take on at some point," Zuckerberg said, referencing Coppa in May 2011. "My philosophy is that for education you need to start at a really, really young age."
Reaction to the story hints that Facebook would just be allowing what already happens. As more than a few parents have admitted, sometimes kids are allowed to sneak their way around the site's terms of service by lying about their ages or using a family profile.
What do you think? Will allowing children under 13 to use the site change much about Facebook's landscape? Take the poll below, tell us in the comments or tweet to @GuardianUS. We'll feature some of your replies in this post.

Women's Soccer Releases 2014 Schedule
Regals set for fall campaign
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. – Released this week by head women's soccer coach Frank Marino, the 2014 Cal Lutheran schedule will once again challenge the four-time defending Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SCIAC) champion Regals.
Before classes even get underway for the 2014-15 academic year the Violet and Gold will have already played a pair of games as part of an opening weekend tournament hosted by CLU. The Regals welcome nine other schools, mostly from the SCIAC and Northwest Conference, including Claremont-Mudd-Scripps, La Verne, Occidental, Pacific (Ore.), Pacific Lutheran (Wash.), Pomona-Pitzer, Redlands, Southwestern (Tex.) and Willamette (Ore.) to compete at the two-day event.
"We are excited to host such a strong group of West Region programs at Cal Lutheran this year," Marino shared.
On Friday, August 29 the season begins with a quintuple-header at Rolland Stadium as the women's program hosts the first day of the 10-team tournament before the Kingsmen begin their season to close out the long day of soccer. The Regals take the field for the first time of the year against sister school Pacific Lutheran at 5:00 p.m. in the final women's contest of the day. Competition begins at 11:00 a.m. with games at 1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. as well.
On Sunday, the teams will be back at the pitch starting at 9:00 a.m. with CLU facing Willamette at 3:00 p.m. to close out the weekend in the eighth and final game. A tournament central website with a complete schedule and additional information will be available closer to the date of competition.
The third non-conference home match of the season is set for Friday, Sept. 5 at 7:00 p.m. against Hardin-Simmons (Tex.).
"We open with one of the most difficult schedules in the country, facing teams like Pacific Lutheran and Hardin-Simmons," Marino shared. "We are home heavy to begin the season for the first time in a while so hopefully we will be a little more comfortable to start the year off."
Rounding out the preseason portion of the schedule will be games against Linfield (Ore.) and Whitman (Wash.) as part of a tournament hosted by UC Santa Cruz on Sept. 7-8, respectively, at 1:00 p.m. each day as final preparations before league play starts. The final non-league game of 2014 is set for Monday, Oct. 13 when the Regals and UCSC Banana Slugs square off at 3:00 p.m. in Thousand Oaks.
SCIAC play commences on the road with games against Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (Sept. 17) and La Verne (Sept. 20) with the league home opener set for Wednesday, Sept. 24 against Redlands to kick off a three-game home stretch. The remainder of the regular season schedule will alternate between multiple road and home games with the final series at Rolland Stadium featuring Occidental and Chapman. The season finale and senior day against the Panthers will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 1.
"Our challenging preseason schedule should prepare us for a tough league opener against CMS [a team that knocked off CLU in the SCIAC Post Season Tournament Championship game last year]," Marino went on, "We just need to stay healthy and use a difficult opening portion of our schedule to our advantage."
The SCIAC Post Season Tournament is scheduled for Nov. 6-8 at a site yet to be determined. NCAA Division III Regional and National play will follow, beginning the weekend of Nov. 15-16, again at a location not yet known. The NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championships will take place in late November and early December.

LONDON -- Don't adjust your dials.
That is, indeed, Wimbledon, home of the oldest, most traditional championship in tennis, despite all those reds, whites, blues and, well, Pepto Bismol pink.
The Olympic Games most definitely have put their stamp on the All England Club.
It's not just that the players won't be decked out in the traditional, some might say dull, whites. More shocking, perhaps, is the purplely-pink -- the color of the London Games -- backgrounds and signage covering up Wimbledon's green.
Oh, and don't look for those Rolex clocks. Omega is the official timekeeper of the Games.
Wimbledon won't be the only place purplely-pink color appears. It's in signage all over London. At one venue, gymnastics, it appears that an entire paint factory that makes only that color exploded.
Will all that flashy color be jarring for players? Ahh, it's still Wimbledon, SerenaWilliams says.
"This is the Olympics. It's just played at Wimbledon," Serena said Tuesday at the news conference for the U.S. Olympic team.
The tennis tournament, which begins Saturday, should be one of the most intriguing competitions in the Games. Just three weeks after Roger Federer and Williams captured that prestigious crown, they both will be back looking for their first individual Olympic gold medals.
And they won't be alone. British hopeful Andy Murray, Novak Djokovic, CarolineWozniacki, Kim Clijsters are among a whole host of tennis' best who also will be on hand.
That includes the USA's Bob and Mike Bryan, who were stopped at a security checkpoint Tuesday on their way to the news conference because they had not been to the right place to have their credentials validated.
They no doubt wouldn't have been allowed into Wimbledon without the proper credentials either.
So, the players won't be wearing all white, and the signs will look different, but players still need proper ID, and then of course there's this: The grass is still as green.

New York Edited. Twelve Stories from the City is photographed by the 2011 alumni of the International Center of Photography, New York and edited by the photo editors' class 2011/2012 at Ostkreuzschule für Fotografie, Berlin. From the foreword: ... "What lies underneath?" this is not only the title of one of the stories you will find in this book, it is what all twelve stories aim to find out. What we find if we look closely and patiently, if we dig deeper: transvestites dreaming of changing political attitudes, homeless people trying to survive, animals trapped in captivity and sex workers who are "mothers... they're sisters, they're friends, they're lovers... they're people, and you might even know one and not know"... By no means do the stories in this book aim to represent New York in its diversity. They want to give an insight, an intimate look in different worlds....

Eprocurement Software
LAST_UPDATED2 Written by Administrator Wednesday, 14 October 2009 15:05
E procurement software
E procurement software is one of the fastest ways to get a rapid return on investment from a software purchase. Over the last decade, e procurement software has advanced in leaps and bounds. It is easier to implement, vendors are more accepting of the solution, and the measurement of ROI is well understood. If your organization is not using e procurement software, it is likely you're missing out on significant savings and time efficiencies in your organization.
Eprocurement software is not just for fortune 500 organizations. Medium sized organizations can rapidly implement e-procurement software to deliver significant benefits. The fortune 500 companies have done the heavy lifting in the e-procurement space. In many cases, they had delivered a significant return on investment. In other cases, they have learned the expensive lessons on the best methods of implementing e-procurement software. These lessons are now widely known in the industry and make your life implementing an e procurement solution a lot easier.
The emergence of software as a service (SAAS).
The concept of software as a service is not new. Over the past decade, it has evolved from hosted software to what we now understand as software as a service. This delivery method means that you can benefit from the value of e procurement without the massive millions invested of the fortune 500 companies. While there are limitations, such as the ability to customize the solution to your requirements, the benefits clearly outweigh the limitations.
It is not just the buying organizations that benefit from eprocurement software. The whole supply chain efficiency is improved with an effective implementation of an eprocurement solution. Suppliers can benefit through automation and integration into their financials and ERP systems, thereby saving processing effort and in some cases achieving real-time forecasting. Not all e procurement vendors understand the value in optimizing the full supply chain. It is important to discuss this with your eprocurement software provider
Eprocurement software vendors
You now have a great selection of eprocurement software vendors. After the dotcom boom and subsequent bust, you were left with very few options for E-procurement software solutions. The major player in the market was inaccessible and out of reach to many medium sized businesses. This created an opportunity for niche players and over the past five years many of these niche players had delivered quality products targeted to most verticals.
E procurement software comparison
A comparison of the e procurement software can be a challenging task. Most vendors believe that they have the core capabilities necessary for e procurement. We also believe this is true. However it is the nuances of the software that really determine its effectiveness in your organization. Therefore we recommend getting demonstrations and, if possible, trial copies of potential e procurement Software Solutions. Spend some time with your solution, understand the business processes, define your objectives and then compare the e procurement software solution. This time spent up front will be a very good investment.

The Champion of RFID is ... Wal-Mart?

An example of an EPC RFID tag in use at Wal-Mart
(Source: Wal-Mart)
Wal-Mart plans to strong-arm suppliers into using its RFID tagging system
RFID already has a
bad rap
largely due to the unsavory prospects of
human implantation
, possibly by
employer coercion
. There is a significant
public wariness to the technology
, which largely stems from these issues, which unfortunately causes people to often overlook its
practical business uses
By using RFID tags during shipping, pallets of goods can easily be located, identified and tracked as they move across the country. This can lead to great cost savings while enhancing the supply chain. Such devices operate in either the 433 MHz and 2.4 GHz frequency, and thus pose no more electromagnetic radiation concern to users than the myriad of
other wireless signals that surround us in our daily lives
adopted RFID early and has since pushed its suppliers to adopt the system, which it feels is revolutionizing its shipping processes. For three years now the company insisted its suppliers RFID tag shipping pallets for its Wal-Mart retail and Sam's Club warehouse stores.
Now Wal-Mart is using Sam's Club
as a proving ground for the new technology
, by economically forcing its suppliers to adopt the system. The new, more forceful, push will begin with Walmart's
DeSoto, Texas distribution center that distributes pallets to Sam's Club stores across the southwest. Starting January 30, all pallets entering the center must be RFID tagged or suppliers will face fines of $2 per untagged pallet.
An RFID tag costs about 20 cents to manufacturer.
Wal-Mart explains that the significantly larger fee is not designed to be punitive, but covers the costs of labor for Wal-Mart having to reprocess and tag the pallets themselves. The fee allows companies without existing RFID infrastructure to temporarily pay Wal-Mart to deal with this issue, giving the supplier time to adopt RFID logistics.
Sam's Clubs 700-stores accounted for $41.5 billion of Wal-Mart's $344.9 billion in revenues in 2007. The stores use fewer suppliers than the Wal-Mart retail chain, so the company sees them as an ideal proving ground for the technology.
The system and accompanying fines for non-comformers will be phased in at all 22 Wal-Mart distribution centers over the next three years.

Comments about Nickelodeon Spongebob Squarepants Cologne:
I bought this for my little boy 2 years ago. His cousin has always wanted a bottle so I am buying another! The scent is lovely and fresh and it lasts all day. You only need 2 sprays and it is plenty as well. I wish they made all perfumes and colognes like this! I can spray him in the morning and still smell it when I pick him up after work, but it is in no way offensive or overpowering! GREAT STUFF!

After his high-flying student years at Karachi University, he worked for the far eastern Economic Review in Hong Kong.
Fetisov currently serves as a senator in the Federal Assembly of Russia representing the far eastern region of Primorsky Krai.
In the far eastern horizon could be seen the first rosy tints of the approaching dawn.
This holds true for both Western and far eastern (and any other) civilization.
He wrote many articles on far eastern affairs which showed his remarkable grasp of the situation.
In this statement I should be supported by the whole of the 'far eastern' nations.
The forms of the vessels are the same as have remained typical of Chinese pottery, and of far eastern pottery in general.
Focal points were not then so numerous as they have become since the development of the far eastern trade.
Perhaps it has floated in its polished pink bed from a far eastern sea.
This is a work of the highest importance to any student of the far eastern Crisis.

The Montana Ambassadors is a volunteer, not-for-profit organization whose members are appointed by the Governor and serve as official Ambassadors of the State of Montana to assist the Montana Department of Commerce and the Governor's Office of Economic Development with their business, trade and tourism promotion activities.
Each year, the Montana Ambassador Educator of the Year honors a Montana educator who has "demonstrated outstanding accomplishment, excellence and leadership in the field of education," and embodies the values of former Montana State University President, Dr. Michael Malone.
In presenting the award to President Cruzado, Governor Brian Schweitzer said of her, "There's a whole new energy in Montana because of Waded Cruzado," and "Montana State is being recognized around the world."
Also during the ceremony, Sarah Calhoun, founder of Red Ants Pants, received the award for Montana Ambassador Entrepreneur of the Year, and Frank McAllister, chairman & CEO of Stillwater Mining Company, was honored as Montana Ambassador Business of the Year.

The fund, known by its Australian Securities Exchange code AIX, holds stakes in hubs including Melbourne and Perth. It may spin-off some of its smaller assets, building on a decision made in 2003 to invest mainly in transport assets. "We will be tidying up our portfolio," AIX chairman
Fresh from a capital raising last year to pay down debt and with increased profits thanks to rising numbers of passenger traffic, AIX may be poised to reap the benefits of a recovering travel sector as overseas airlines and low-cost carriers boost capacity. Earnings from AIX's portfolio of assets rose 8.3 per cent to $40.9 million during the six months ended December, the company said last week.
The company has pumped millions into developing terminals in Melbourne and the Gold Coast to cater for low-cost carriers such as Jetstar and Tiger Airways. Traffic volumes rose 6.3 per cent across its Australian airports during the first half. Upgrades in Perth, Melbourne and Darwin are expected to help drive profits further by funnelling more passengers through airport shops, restaurants and parking areas.
"We think AIX is well placed to benefit from further improvement in passenger numbers," Deutsche Bank analyst Cameron McDonald said. "AIX will also benefit from terminal upgrades . . . over coming years as these assets feed into the aeronautical asset base and result in increased returns."
The fund's stakes outside the airport sector are more likely to be put on the block, Mr Espie said. Its stakes in assets such as Port of Portland and Statewide Roads,which operates part of Sydney's M4 motorway, make up slightly more than 6 per cent of its holdings.
AIX pays management fees to its parent, Hasting Funds Management, whose holdings include Hastings Diversified Utilities Fund. Hastings Diversified said last week it would hire advisers to help sort through a possible sale of assets such as its South East Water business in Britain.
The review comes after an eventful year for AIX. In June, the fund raised $211 million in capital to help bolster cash and pay off unsecured debt. In October, AIX pleased investors when it called off four months of talks with an unnamed suitor, thought to be a Canadian pension fund, to sell its 10 per cent stake in Australian Pacific Airports Corporation. AIX was holding out for almost $300 million for its stake, which makes up about 27 per cent of the fund.
The company also abandoned its ambition to take a majority stake in Mackay and Cairns airports through its Queensland Airports business because it didn't have the money, rather than go further into debt. In January this year, Auckland International Airport agreed to buy Westpac Banking Corporation's 25 per cent stake in Cairns and Mackay airports for $132.8 million.

US activist fund Lone Star Value Investors has bought up 5.3 per cent of Perth-based oil and gas junior Antares Energy and will force a vote in a bid to reform the board.
Lone Star said it wanted to add five "highly qualified independent directors" to the existing board, who would be able to turn around Antares' performance. They have expertise in petroleum engineering, finance, capital markets and M&A, the Connecticut-based fund said.
"We believe this expertise is needed on the Antares board to improve corporate governance and create a strategic plan to enhance value for the benefit of ALL shareholders," Lone Star said in a statement released Thursday.
Antares, which is focused on shale in the US, last year struck a deal to sell its key assets for $US300 million, several times its market value. It did not reveal the proposed buyer. However the sale didn't eventuate, with the board saying in February it had concluded the best returns could be achieved for shareholders by developing the assets in the Permian Basin in Texas, rather than divesting them.
Antares, led by chairman and chief executive James Cruickshank, has three core projects – the Southern Star, Northern Star and Big Star ventures – all in the rich Wolfberry Trend region of the Permian Basin in western Texas.
Its shares closed on Wednesday at 48¢, giving it a market value of $122.4 million.
Antares has a reputation for buying and selling assets at a healthy profit, having previously sold shale ventures in the Eagle Ford region for $US200 million to Petrohawk Energy, which was subsequently bought by BHP Billiton for about $US15 billion.
But Lone Star urged the existing board not to take action "adverse to the best interests" of shareholders in advance of the extraordinary general meeting, such as issuing equity, convertible debt, making acquisitions or divestments, or adding board members.
"In the coming days, we intend to provide shareholders with greater detail on the qualifications, experience and track records of our nominees and Lone Star Value's plan to maximize shareholder value," it said.

Ewell acknowledged the struggle to create narrative out of what sometimes looked like chaos.
On the right as you stand is Culp's Hill, the scene of Ewell's furious, but futile, attempts to flank us there.
We turned the captured guns on them as they passed, Ewell serving as a gunner.
A portion of Ewell's Corps had passed through the town several days before, and neglected to secure that very commanding position.
She was a kinswoman of Ewell, and said to have been his early love.
On the day and night of the 21st, Ewell's and Hill's (our) corps marched for the same point.
The pink flush of dawn, the distant view of Ewell's tents, came too soon.
The cavalry of the latter under Ewell saved the bridges which spanned the two branches of the Shenandoah River.
Ewell, head on one side like a bird, took and opened the paper.
Two of Ewell's battalions heard the thunder of the battle and rushed of their own accord to the relief of their commander.

'America's Got Talent' has got Howard Stern
NEW YORK – The seventh-season auditions were winding down last month with a final stop here, and if it weren't already apparent, this year's America's Got Talent, NBC's vaudeville talent carnival returning Monday (8 ET/PT), is all about Howard.
Not Howie, as in Mandel, bald comedian and game-show host. Not Sharon, as in Osbourne, of the MTV reality series and CBS chatfest The Talk. But Stern, 58, the shock jock who has had a long obsession with reality competitions and a belief he'd be great at judging one.
On this crisp April afternoon, he has brought along his parents, Ben and Ray, his sister Ellen and radio sidekicks Robin Quivers and Gary "Baba Booey" Dell'Abate. All receive a thunderous welcome from the 2,000 onlookers. "You know I love playing God," the mop-haired Stern tells the crowd. "There's a weight on my shoulders to carry the show this year."
Indeed there is. NBC sought out Stern after parting with CNN's Piers Morgan. It's paying Stern more than $15 million a year and is moving TV's top-rated summer series from L.A. to the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in Newark to accommodate Stern's day job on Sirius XM Radio.
And Morgan does not seem to be missed.
"It's a lot more fun" this year, host Nick Cannon says backstage. "The rapport with everyone is really laid back. Piers made it messed up, but Howard brings such a fun energy. He's so entertaining; he does his own thing and takes over. But he's really taking the job seriously because he really wants to find a million-dollar act."
Though Morgan was professional, Mandel adds, "I don't know that Piers had any personal tolerance for my tastes. He wouldn't engage me in conversation unless he was telling me I'm an idiot. More than any other year, it feels like three friends sitting on this panel. We're surprising each other, (and) the show has a fresh electricity."
Osbourne says the auditions "have turned into something of a rock concert" as Stern fans bear placards and are prone to fist-pumping and shout-outs.
"This is my fan base times 12," Stern says. "The crowds are so great, they are so out-of-their-minds rambunctious, and it really fires you up."
A young contestant with the stage name Mir Money gets a hug from judge Howard Stern, while host Nick Cannon looks on.
Is there a danger he'll steal the show? "How could he not? He's Howard Stern," Osbourne says. "You expect him to come and just sit there?"
Sharing stage? 'Startling'
Stern, sitting in his radio studio Tuesday for a rare solo interview, says he's "used to getting most of the attention" on the radio. "It's the Howard Stern Show, and I kind of sit there and control everything, including the microphones." At AGT, "it was startling at first that I have to share the stage with three other people. That's some kind of adjustment for me."
So why did he do it? It wasn't for the money, he says. (He makes plenty from his day job.) "I thought it would be hysterical to see me in that environment, for my fans to see me be on a family-friendly network show."
But when he thought it over, Stern decided he was the right man for the job. "I've been in show business for as long as can be now, over 35 years. The type of work I do is take people all the time and make stars out of them. I was a radio music programmer early in my career. Some people would think I'm a comedian, and also (on radio) we are a bit of a novelty show.
"And it all just kind of made sense, too, because a judge needs to interview people. I'm very qualified," he says. "But at the end of the day, I thought it would be fun."
Yet Stern is a polarizing figure, especially among the women who make up much of AGT's audience. "He has, of course, an enormous tribe of true believers, and then he has an enormous army of skeptics," says NBC reality chief Paul Telegdy.
With this show, he might succeed in turning around the non-believers. "He's incredibly insightful, he's very forthright, he's extremely honest with the contestants, and he speaks his mind. You know what you're getting, and that's a trait women find attractive."
Stern isn't sure whether he'll commit to more than one season on the show. "I really enjoy doing this, but first of all I've got to see if America likes me."
A man named Horse
This year's AGT has its usual mix of aspiring singers, dancers, acrobats and magicians, along with random oddities you wouldn't see on other talent competitions, including a water-skiing squirrel and a daredevil named Horse who has objects thrown at his testicles. ("Every man in America is going to have watery eyes when you see him perform," Osbourne says.)
The judges spent last week in Las Vegas, culling the 175 hopefuls who survived the first-round auditions that will be shown in coming weeks. A group of 48 finalists will appear in nine weeks of live broadcasts starting July 2, interrupted only for the Olympics.
As for judging worthy contestants, Osbourne says her sympathies are well known: "With me, if there's an animal in the act, or a gay or a drag queen, they're through" to the next round. "It's not even a debate." But with Stern, "you can't call it."
On the radio, he often interrogates celebrities about their sex lives. But a softer side of Stern is on display: At last month's session, he pronounces a group of bewigged tween contortionists "sensational." But Mandel says they're "not smooth enough," and Osbourne calls the act slow.
"I don't like the way this is going," Stern says to the group, grasping for support. "Do any of you have a terminal illness?" (They're sent home.)
Later, a 7-year-old rapper from Philadelphia cries when the judges reject him, and Stern goes onstage for a hug. "This job is too rough for me," he says. Recalling the audition, he says, "All I remember is it was so awful I literally put my head down on the stage. I don't think Simon (Cowell) would do that."
And after another subpar singing performance, Stern bounds back onstage to give guidance, and summons his dad from the audience for help. As Stern's regular listeners know, Ben Stern often told a young Howard he was "being a moron," and now he explains why: "I thought I was helping him to realize where he was going."
It's quite clear Stern is not here just to mimic the irascible Cowell, one of AGT's producers. "Everyone's expecting me to be the Simon, and nothing could be further from the truth," he says. "I don't think I could be Simon … and that would be boring. They hired me for my opinion."
But, like Cowell, he aims to be the show's truth-teller. "I believe I am the judge America will agree with." But "that's my biggest fear, I want people to care what I have to say."
St. Louis beats NYC, L.A.
Though New York is often thought of as a talent mecca, it's not working out that way on this audition day, and the judges say Los Angeles was no picnic, either. (They all say St. Louis yielded the season's strongest crop.)
Just four of the 13 acts auditioning during a three-hour session make it through to the next round, including husband-and-wife acrobats clad in white spandex, an aerialist and two groups of hip-hop singers.
Those left behind are, needless to say, unhappy. Cannon and a backstage crew catch a composed 16-year-old girl who sobs into the arms of her parents the moment the camera turns away. And in a reality-TV trope, Cannon goads the rejects into turning the tables by criticizing "out-of-touch" judges, especially Stern. "Tell him about his ugly hairstyle," he tells female rapper CeZara Russu. She demurs: "I'm not that kind of a person. I take that experience, and I'm going to learn from it."
Will Stern learn enough to make Talent judging a long-term gig beyond his current one-season commitment?
"I have two schools of thought on that," he says.
On the one hand: He "didn't do it for the money. I cut back my radio schedule with the idea that I wanted to stop and smell the roses," and the three-day-a-week show "was getting really nice, but (AGT) has taken away all my vacation."
On the other: "I really enjoy doing this, but first of all I've got to see if America likes me. That will influence me one way. Assuming it went well, I would have to sit down (and think) long and hard and see what I want to do with my life."

DUARTE - La Puente's Raymond Sedillo threw five scoreless innings and drove in three runs to lead the Warriors to a 13-5 victory over host Duarte in a Montview League game Wednesday.
"It was a team effort. We needed all 14 guys or we won't have been able to do it," Sedillo said.
La Puente (13-10, 9-2) got back on track in its quest to win the league title after losing to cellar-dwelling Bassett in their last league game.
"We're in first place, tied with Sierra Vista obviously, but we have a big game with Duarte," said La Puente coach John Hermosillo, whose team hosts the Falcons on Friday.
"So we're taking it one game at a time and we'll see how it ends up in the end."
Sedillo (4-1) threw five strong innings before giving way to reliever Anthony Burchette to start the sixth with his team leading 11-0. The senior struck out the final batter he faced to end the fifth inning after the Falcons had loaded the bases on three singles.
La Puente jumped on Duarte starter Gus Banuelos (6-1) for four runs in the third inning and five in the fourth.
In the third inning with two outs the Warriors had three consecutive run-producing hits. Ivan Vasquez singled up the middle to drive in the game's first run. Randy Anaya followed with an RBI double and Sedillo was next with a run-scoring single to right. After a walk Sedillo scored from second base on a single by Cody Hrey.
The Warriors loaded the bases against Banuelos in the fourth inning with one out.
Joel Ortega took over the pitching duties and promptly walked the first batter he faced. Then he threw a wild pitch that allowed La Puente to score a run. Sedillo hit a ground-rule double down the right-field line to drive in a pair of runs and Luis Jacobo made it 8-0 with a sacrifice fly just before Hrey doubled in the final run of the inning for a 9-0 lead.
Duarte (15-6, 7-4) scored all five of its runs in the sixth inning.
The Falcons' George Carlos hit a two-run single and Ayman Nureldeen singled for another run. The first batter Anaya faced in relief, Daniel Sandoval, drove in the Falcons' final run with an infield single.

Remember when I ran the 28-Day Blogging Challenge? It was a really fun online event where hundreds of people committed to making their blogs and websites better.
(I have Round 2 in the works, so stay tuned!)
Well, I actually took the Challenge myself, and it was amazing how many small things I was able to do that led to such a big impact.
One of them that I'm really proud of was claiming Google authorship of my blog. And while it's not the easiest thing in the world, it's worth putting in the effort.
What is Google Authorship?
- It's a tool that basically authenticates YOU as the author of a website or blog
- It lets Google elevate you and your work as trusted, quality content
- It can increase the number of people who click through to your blog when you appear in search results
- It makes your site look prettier on Google search results
Now, the million dollar question: how can you claim Google authorship?
My blog runs on the Genesis/Studiopress platform, and the developers have made it pretty easy. I followed this set of instructions and it worked perfectly. If you are on another theme, you may need to jump through a few more hoops, all explained here: https://plus.google.com/authorship or in a good tutorial here: http://www.bloggingbistro.com/how-to-claim-your-content-with-google-authorship/.
Once you've added the code, you can see if your verification went through by going here: http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/richsnippets. Just put in your URL or the link to a specific post and click preview. For an example — the pictures above are from my verified site. But I haven't yet claimed authorship for my baby blog, so results look like this:
Good luck and happy claiming!

Idaho's new hunting passport now available
To encourage potential new hunters to take to the field, Idaho Fish and Game's new Hunting Passport offers novice hunters the opportunity to hunt for one year before completing a hunter education course.
A Hunting Passport is a special authorization that allows anyone who has never held a hunting license in any state, resident and nonresident, age 8 and older, to take wildlife only when they are accompanied by a mentor and participating in the Mentored Hunting Program.
The minimum age to hold a Hunting Passport is 8. There is no maximum age.
Passport holders must be 12 years old to hunt big game, 10 to hunt turkey and sandhill crane and 8 to hunt most other game birds and small game.
Passport holders must purchase general season tags, appropriate permits and validations. All hunting rules, seasons and weapon restrictions also apply.
The Hunting Passport expires December 31 of the year it was issued, and only one can be purchased in a lifetime. To continue hunting after the passport expires, the hunter must complete a hunter education course and buy a license.
Anyone 18 or older who holds a valid Idaho hunting license can serve as a mentor. No certification is required, but people may not mentor more than two people at the same time.
Hunting Passports cost $1.75 and are available at license vendors and Fish and Game regional offices.
For more information on the Hunting Passport, including answers to frequently asked questions, visit Fish and Game's website at http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/?getPage=332, or contact the nearest regional Fish and Game office.

18 Best GIFs of Hot Actresses and Singers Dancing
All your favorite ladies of the screen just shakin' their thang.
All your favorite ladies of the screen just shakin' their thang.
How about Christina Aguilera, Demi Moore, Salma Hayek, Lindsay Lohan, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Biel and Rihanna in all of their rump-shaking glory?
Today we have Lindsay Lohan, everyone's favorite Mean Girl and Hollywood hottie.
Lindsay Lohan hit the 'Late Show With David Letterman' last night, and the pair inevitably prank called Oprah (as one does), a gag that could have gone in a very different reaction if Winfrey wasn't so damn wise. Seriously, don't try to pull the wool over Oprah's eyes. She knows what's up.
How dare you, 'How I Met Your Mother.' How dare you.
Fans everywhere are already mourning the end of 'How I Met Your Mother' -- yes, after nine seasons, including one that took place over the course of a single weekend -- but no one is nearly as upset as 'Billy on the Street' host Billy Eichner. And also Lindsay Lohan, because apparently the tarnished starlet is also a big fan of CBS sitcoms.
It starts out sweetly enough -- with a selfie taken in what looks like a foxhole decked out with a wading pool -- before everything turns quite literally icy. To welcome Lindsay Lohan to what was actually her second visit to the new 'Tonight Show' (remember she showed up on that first night, along with the rest of Hollywood?), Jimmy Fallon engaged the starlet in a game of Water War.
We all know what happens when Lindsay Lohan stars in a movie -- we get a lengthy feature in The New York Times about her insubordination and all the drama she put her 'The Canyons' director through. So what happens when she both stars in and produces a movie? We'll surely read about it down in the road since the troubled starlet will be tackling both of those duties for the psychological thriller 'Inconceivable.'
While attempting to make a horror flick, a man learns that his lead actor has ignited an affair with his girlfriend, ultimately prompting an act of violence.
My disdain of the 'Scary Movie' franchise came early. I distinctly recall seeing the 'Scary Movie 2' poster, which featured Kathleen Robertson wearing a t-shirt that says "I See Dead People." This isn't a joke. It's just a reference. It isn't clever, it isn't witty - it's just saying a thing from another movie. It's not funny.
Almost 10 years later, 'Scary Movie 5' still suffers from this debilitating problem. There is absolutely nothing funny about going 'Inception'-style into Christian Grey's S&M room and having Mike Tyson show up. Yet, if you are somehow able to ignore the lowest common denominator pop culture appearances (I hesitate to even call them jokes) there are a great number of truly amusing gags and examples of rapid fire dialogue zings. Put bluntly: when the film is freed from the shackles of its referencing mandate, there's some good, dopey humor in here. Much to my surprise, I laughed out loud a good half-dozen times.
Prior to serving out whatever sentence TMZ tells us about, the always-entertaining Lindsay Lohan managed to squeeze in a quick job with Charlie Sheen for his ongoing FX comedy 'Anger Managment.' The notoriously-troubled Hollywood starlet will of course play herself in the April 11 outing, but how would you like a first look? Get a sneak peek of Lindsay Lohan and her crazy outfit for the upcoming season of 'Anger Management' inside!
Lindsay Lohan managed to show up to court almost an hour late this morning, after taking an overnight flight on a private jet sponsored by an energy drink from New York to LA. She got glitter-bombed on the way in, so at least she's looking fabulous.
Before Lindsay Lohan was Lindsay Lohan, she was just another teenage actress and a pretty good one at that. It's hard to imagine a time when Lindsay Lohan was hanging out with Tina Fey and Amy Poehler but back in the days before 'Mean Girls' hit theaters, they were doing exactly that.

Catholic Spirituality is Family Spirituality
Scott Hahn's essay in Christian Spirituality, a presentation of four views (Orthodox, Catholic, Liberal Prot and evangelical), is a tour de force — it captures it all through the lens of family, that is through covenant as establishing "kinship," and that all means that Catholic spirituality is through and through ecclesial.

UTM has a number of events and activities that are traditions at our campus. This list is by no means inclusive, but it is designed to spotlight a few of these special programs. Check back as we update this list and also highlight events with video clips and photos.
Designed as an amateur choral music competition, student organizations sing medleys of songs based on themes selected earlier in the year. The All-Sing has been a part of UTM for more than 30 years.
A weeklong series of events to promote UTM alumni and friends who come back to campus during the UTM football season. Events include Pyramid, the NPHC Homecoming Stepshow, Ropepull, and the newest edition to Homecoming - Quad City, with more than 60 tents, live music and more on the Saturday of Homecoming.
Each year on move-in day, alumni and legacies are guests of the Alumni Association at the Legacy Luncheon in Paul Meek Library. Legacies are important to the university, sharing traditions with the next generation.
Beginning in December 2004, this event honors seniors and serves as a venue to welcome them to the UT Alumni Association. The event concludes with the playing of the alma mater and the senior walk through the heart of the campus, with students cheered on by faculty, staff, students and friends.
A long-standing rivalry goes to help a good cause. Each year Murray State and UTM go head-to-head to see which campus can donate the most blood to assist the Red Cross in this area.
Celebrating its 40th birthday in 2008, the UTM Rodeo is one of the premier collegiate rodeos east of the Mississippi. The annual rodeo features cowboys and cowgirls from all over the region.
A weeklong celebration of Greek life at UTM, the event features activities and educational opportunities for the UTM Greek community, beginning with the annual Greek Awards Banquet and ending with the Greekfest Stepshow. Each year a philanthropy is selected as the highlight for the week.
