text: Brown didn't stray far from football after retiring By Carlos Mendez Star-Telegram Staff Writer Larry Brown was a 12th-round draft pick who became a good NFL player. Years later, he has become a good talker, too. The former Cowboys cornerback is part of ESPN's college football radio coverage, a job he landed thanks to an impressive performance five years ago as a guest on the network's Super Bowl coverage. "It's easy to talk about something you've done your whole life," he said. "It's not difficult for me. I didn't plan on doing it. It kind of fell in my lap." This year, the guest spots became a real job for the former TCU cornerback, who played six seasons for the Cowboys and earned MVP honors in Super Bowl XXX against Pittsburgh. In a sense, the Cowboys' Super Bowl years are what helped Brown find a place in broadcasting. "I didn't have any formal training, but we had a ton of guys on the team who had shows," Brown said. "Michael Irvin had a show. I'd always go on and appear on their shows. Just by going on their shows, I gained a lot of experience. I didn't realize I was gaining a lot of experience, but I was." The transition wasn't without its bumps. Brown said he had to learn some broadcast journalism basics, not to mention devoting more time to studying teams across the country. "You've got to pretty much keep up with everybody, even the teams you're not interested in," he said with a laugh. "Knowing coaches and players and injuries, that was a learning curve for me. And understanding how to ask questions, dealing with people and interviews, that's a lot of learning. It's all opinionated, but you try to back up your argument with facts. "And hopefully you get proven right." Brown left the Cowboys after his Super Bowl MVP season, joining the Raiders in free agency. He returned to Dallas in 1998 but retired the next year. Today, he also spends time with Pro Players Inc., an Irving company that helps organize appearances for former players and coordinates fund-raisers with the help of athletes. "Pro Players does what the NFL Players Association should be doing -- helping guys get organized, get involved in their communities, be active," Brown said. "There are a lot of schools and churches that want players to come out and help with their time and everything else." In February, Brown will be headed to the Super Bowl again. He has been to 10 in a row, either as a player, fan or broadcaster, he said, and never fails to enjoy it. "Having the opportunity to go as a fan makes it even more endearing," he said. "When you're playing, you don't even get a chance to see it and enjoy that part of it." IN THE KNOW The Larry Brown file Age: 34 Years with the Cowboys: 1991-95, 1998 Acquired: Drafted 12th round, 1991 Hometown: Los Angeles College: TCU Family: Wife, Cheryl; daughters Kristin, 11; Kayla, 6; son Kameron, 4. Favorite Cowboys moment: "When we went up to Candlestick and beat the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game [1992 season]. We considered it the game that got us over the hump. It made us believe we were pretty good."

Middle East contracting event Big five to be held in Octobr
The Big 5, the Middle East's annual show for the contracting industry, will fill seven halls at the Dubai International Exhibition Center (DIEC), this October. For the first time, the show, which takes place from October 26-30, will feature a Portuguese pavilion and exhibitors from Japan, Latvia and the Ukraine.
"The exhibitor geographic footprint is widening as internationals vie for a slice of a rapidly developing regional construction sector," said Bernard Walsh, managing director of dmg Index Exhibitions, which organizes the Big 5.
"Heightened global interest is hardly surprising when recent reports show that Dubai alone is recording an 11.7 percent increase in construction activity and that the building industry in Qatar is witnessing its best times ever with the state government increasing its public projects budget by 39 percent for the coming year," hew added.
This year's edition of the Big 5 will feature 22 national or industry group pavilions, two more than in 2001. To date, exhibitors from 30 countries have signed up for the show. The show provides five days of concentrated business opportunities for contractors, architects, engineers, buyers, importers, agents and distributors. — (menareport.com)

Surface Pro Price Cut: New Marketing or Preparation for Surface 2? (MSFT, AAPL, AMZN)
After announcing price cuts for the Surface RT tablet, Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) will now be taking $100 off the price of the Surface Pro, The Verge reported.
The $100 discount will put the prices of Microsoft's tablet roughly ten percent cheaper (at $899) for the 128GB version and $799 for the 64GB version.
Last week, Microsoft announced a 900 million dollar write down on the Surface RT, which is likely more than the revenue it brought in. Reasons for disappointing sales include a late entry to the market, poor advertising, and limited sales outlets.
This announcement seems to have one of two implications. Either this price reduction is part of a new marketing initiative, or Microsoft is clearing out inventories for a new release.
New Marketing campaign?
Price cuts are not unheard of in the tablet industry and are proven to boost sales. In late 2010, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) cut the price of the Kindle e-reader by 27 percent and sales soared, sending sales of their tables higher than hardcover books.
In April, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) cut the price of their iPad and iPad mini by roughly 30 percent. Regardless, in the three month period following the cuts, iPad sales fell 25 from the previous three months and 16 percent from the previous year.
While it is hard to determine how many units Microsoft needs to sell to break even, sales probably need to at least double. If the Surface RT had a 900 million dollar write down, and sales of all Surface models were around 900 million, sales need to surge for the company to reach profitability.
Related: Surface Revenue Falls Below Microsoft's $900 Million Write-Down
Surface 2?
Since the price cut announcement, rumors have been circling about Microsoft clearing the way for a new edition of the Surface tablet.
The electronics market is known for reducing prices before releasing updated hardware versions. Apple has consistently cut the price of their older tablets to sell alongside the newest edition. For example, Apple slashed prices of iPad 3 to sell alongside iPad 4.
According to Techradar's analysis of the industry and the experts Microsoft has been hiring, it estimates a Surface 2 release as early as June.
Shares of Microsoft are largely unmoved on the news and opened at $31.80.

Salma Hayek poses for the May cover of Lucky and talks about how she got lucky when she married François-Henri Pinault, CEO and chairman of PPR (which reps luxury brands including Balenciaga and Gucci).
He inspires her style: "If you're in love with someone, you always want to conquer them anew," she says. "Even if we don't go out, I like to look nice for him. He inspires me. There are men who don't notice what you're wearing, and that's cool. But when you make an effort, François appreciates it so much."
Sporting a ponytail for her Lucky interview, she explains, "This is very Parisian. My husband, it's funny, but he hates it when I have this Parisian hair! He loves my crazy- maniac-madwoman just-got-out-of-the-shower hair. He is like the lawyer for my thick, wild, natural hair. He's like, 'Why make it suffer?' But you know for 45 years I've got this big hair, and these big boobs, and I'm this tiny person and sometimes— you just want to be ... smaller." Salma goes on to say, "He's probably right—my mom always said, 'You think you know better than God?'"
On her Botox theories: "Botox, trust me I've been tempted—but I resist! think about what happens to your muscles—and your skin—if you're sick and don't move for a few days. It all atrophies! Plus, if you freeze a muscle in your face, other muscles have to compensate! And once you stop, what does that look like?"
She adds, "You know Latin people? African-American people? How our skin ages more slowly? Even though we're dramatic, we move our faces, we eat higher- fat foods, we're the ones with fewer wrinkles—it makes you wonder."'
On her struggles with her skin and career: "My skin?! When I was 25 and I left being a soap opera star in Mexico to go try to be a movie star in Hollywood and all of Mexico was laughing at me? And I could barely get work as an extra? You want to talk about bad skin? I had acne. And this acne was so bad, it sent me into a severe, severe depression. Like I couldn't leave the house. I'd wake up in the morning and lie there and touch my face before I got up, just to prepare myself to look in the mirror! The next stage with that sort of depression is food: too little, or too much. Guess what I did? I mean, I was fat and broken out, I couldn't leave the house and I couldn't pay the rent!"
What helped? She went on Accutane. "I didn't want to, but it cured it."
On her eating and exercise habits: "I'm always on the edge of how much can I eat without looking too—you know. If I eat something salty, it makes me want something sweet. I eat something sweet, then I want salty. And exercise is not my thing, though I do it."
On her friend Demi Moore: "[I'm] Not like Demi (in terms of exercise). She's so disciplined, I wish I could be like that." Salma goes on to say, "You watch, Demi will be back. She's an inspiration to all women."
On her fashion essential: "What you need is one black dress I call Plan B. It doesn't have to be fabulous, it just looks good, covers up the problems and is neutral enough for dinner, business, a date, a funeral. You don't overwear it, you don't overwash it, because the Plan B is—gold."

'Infinity, Divinity, and the Holy Trinity' is Released
Rancho Santa Margarita, CA
The time-old conundrum about the nature of sacred existence has warranted countless efforts and analysis from various authors throughout history. Famous philosophers known to have produced a wealth of literature on the subject include Russell and Descartes; even influential antagonistic views from Nietzsche. Today, the search for truth perpetuates with modern writers building contemporary outlooks based on experience and acquired views. In his light, author William Hearne discloses his own unique perspective about God's true nature, answering a 2000-year-old theological enigma about the Holy Trinity.
In "Infinity, Divinity, and the Holy Trinity" (published by Xlibris), Hearne asserts personal insights established by his knowledge of the scripture, common sense, and science. "It covers a broad variety of topics that are not normally discussed together in an attempt to draw consistent conclusions about what we know about the nature of God and ourselves," Hearne says. The first chapter, Infinity, describes how man knows God exists. The second, Divinity, describes certain aspects of God and man's relationship with him. The third chapter, The Holy Trinity, describes God as the Holy Trinity, mainly based on the unique observations of the author.
Aware of the possible controversial repercussions of his revolutionary ideas, Hearne claims that he is willing to follow-up on such challenges. His only hope is for readers to read the book in its entirety to understand that each assertion is consistent with all others made throughout. "If you don't believe in God, you want to be sure you are right and defend what you believe, or consider these truths and change your beliefs," he added.

|Cone Snails and Their Paralyzing Harpoons
|Written by Gordon Wilson
|Wednesday, 23 June 2010 08:42
Beautiful, slow, and graceful, cone snails creep over the sands, rocks, and coral reefs of the tropical seas. The over 500 species in the genus Conus come in many sizes (small to half a cubit long) and sport a diverse array of colors and patterns (modest to ostentatious), yet they all share a very similar gestalt. Their elegant beauty is loved by shell collectors worldwide. Although a cone snail's empty shell may be a nice touch to the décor of a beach cottage, these little mollusks are not a nice touch when alive.
Cones are deceptively dangerous and highly effective predators. When hunting they protrude a long flexible proboscis out of their mouth. This wormlike extension can be maneuvered toward a hapless fish pausing nearby. In Conus geographus the proboscis is brightly colored and is used as a lure to attract fish. Loaded within the proboscis is a tiny, hollow, barbed harpoon-like dart, called a radular tooth. The dart is loaded into the 'muzzle' of the proboscis from the radular sac (a kind of quiver holding several other darts in various stages of development). When the snail strikes certain muscles quickly thrust the business end of the dart into the prey.
An internal bulb gland propels venom through the poison duct which leads to the mouth cavity and up through the hollow harpoon. When the dart penetrates, this complex cocktail of toxins is injected into the fish (or other prey). In species that feed on fish and worms, the harpoon is tethered to the snail so it is of paramount importance that the venom paralyzes quickly so that the snail is not dragged unceremoniously over a coral reef by its panicked prey. The retrievable dart is then 'reeled in' pulling the paralyzed prey with it. The snail's mouth widens and engulfs the prey whole. After it has digested its meal, the indigestible bits are regurgitated out of the mouth.
The venom is composed of about 200 different compounds. The mixture and quantity of the components differ from species to species thus the toxicity also varies ranging from bee sting intensity to paralyzing death. These so-called conotoxins are neurotoxins that target and quickly shut down the nervous system thus putting a quick stop to the struggles of fast swimming prey. Smaller cones tend to hunt marine worms and other mollusks but the larger species hunt fish. Since the latter can be deadly to humans, beachcombers, snorkelers, and scuba divers beware.
So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, ………... And God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:21
Here is the sea, great and wide,

RPGWatch Feature: Expeditions: Conquistador - Review
View Single Post
June 11th, 2013, 01:05
I just finished the game. I liked the first campaign, but the second campaign not so much…
1- My characters were already high level. Only got to do like 2 advancements in the 2nd campaign. I like having things to look forward to.
2- I had already completed all invention research so again, nothing to look forward there.
3- Too much back&forth.
With my fortress
being so far to the west, having to go back to it to add another thing was a chore (in the end I just skipped this)
But nothing to take away from the game. I liked it a lot, and didn't feel the battles were repetitive. Yes, there isn't much enemy variety, but this is not an RPG with battles every 10 seconds. There aren't many battles and usually enough time passes between one fight and the next that it doesn't feel repetitive.

Where did you specify that directory? Did you specify that in the

It is either set incorrectly (or not at all) in your config file. If

The Importance of Trees
To counteract the anonymity factor, The Cultural Landscape Foundation created a program called Landslide, an annual thematic compendium of landscapes and landscape features threatened with damage or destruction.
"The current Landslide is called Every Tree Tells a Story and it includes a 200-year-old tulip poplar at Washington, DC's Tudor Place, the 4,000+ cherry trees in Newark, New Jersey's Essex County Branch Brook Park and a group of ficus trees whose collective canopy covers seven highway lanes -- yes, seven highway lanes... that's a lot of tree -- in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Often referred to as witness trees, these portals to our past stand as living, dynamic reminders of our country's rich historic narrative and have the potential to teach and inspire future generations."

A new genus and species of lydekkerinid amphibian, Eolydekkerina magna, is described from the lower part of the Lystrosaurus Assemblage Zone of South Africa. Most distinctions between Eolydekkerina and Lydekkerina (other than those related to width of interorbital area and structure of choana and squamosal occipital flange) are linked to late growth stages and particularly preorbital elongation of the skull in the former genus. The developmental trends in Lydekkerina and the Lydekkerinidae in general are analysed by comparison with the cranial pattern of juvenile rhinesuchids. The evidence suggests that the Lydekkerinidae evolved from more fully developed capitosauroid (rhinesuchid-like) ancestors by gradual truncation of ontogeny in parallel with the acquisition of many advanced features, unknown in the Permian capitosauroids. The composition of the Lydekkerinidae is reviewed, and it is suggested that the family includes six to seven valid genera known from Antarctica, Greenland, India, Russia, South Africa and Tasmania. The smaller, and obviously most paedomorphic forms come from the reptile-dominated assemblages in which Lystrosaurus is abundant, whereas the larger ones belong to amphibian-dominated assemblages.

* Prices may differ from that shownMore Offers
I own a 2000 registered Seat Arosa 1.0 and have owned her for the last 5 years. It runs as smoothly as the day I got her and i have done over 36,000 miles since owning her. In total there are 116,000 miles on the clock and it runs as smoothly as ever. Fuel economy is pretty good, getting around 320 miles a tank, which at a cost of £36 is not bad going. Servicing is cheap and the most I have had to do is replace the clutch at around the 100,000 mile mark. The only downfall of the car is there isn't lots of immediate power but happily will get up to 75-80 mph. Being part of the Volkswagen group Seat offers cars that are of excellent build quality and reliable. I have driven literally hundreds of cars this size and can safely say I would take my 2000 reg Seat Arosa over all of them.
My first car was a Citroen Saxo that I had for around 5 years, and absolutely loved! So when it died and I had to find a new car, I really struggled to find anything that I liked as much. Then I came across the Seat Arosa.
There was one for sale locally (in January 2011) for £2250. It was a 2002, red, 1.0l model. I managed to haggle it down a bit and got it for just under £2k, it only had 57,000 miles on the clock.
I use the car to drive to work and back every day, which is a short journey of just 6 miles each way. I also use it for work occasionally, which can include quite long journeys and I have never had any problems with it. Yes, it may take a while to get up to 60/70mph, but then it's only a 1l engine and once it gets there, there's no stopping it.
The seats are really comfortable and most people who sit in it are surprised at just how much space there is in the back seats. The boot doesn't look huge, but it is sufficient for what I need it for, and it is AMAZING how much you can fit in it if you put the seats down!
Ok, so there's no mod cons like electric windows, central locking or aircon, but personally, I just think that's more that can go wrong! There's power steering, which I find a god-send after never having had this before.
I can fill up a whole tank for about £35 and find that this usually does me around 300 miles, which I don't think is bad atall.
Overall I think this is a fab little car and it suits my needs perfectly. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small, economical, reliable car.
I have had and lived with my little 1.0 Arosa for 5 and a half years now and what a car she is.
The little 1 litre engine is not a powerful beast but is more than adequat for the type of driving I do, mainly to a from work and the occasional longer trip.
The fuel economy is fantastic if you use it on longer runs and I can get a good 240 miles from a 28 litre fill up and that is driving to a from work and lots of short trips. When I drove to Brize Norton from Plymouth doing a steady 60mph (had lots of time to wait there!) I managed a very impressive 300 miles out of the tank (including a quarter of the tank being used at 'faster' speeds on the return journey).
The car is great to run and insure, approx £150 per year (I'm 29 with 5 years no claims). I personally love the styling although I wish I had the money to paint the lower bumpers to finish the look of the car. Although the car is small, inside she is like a tardis. The drive gets lots of room and even has a dead foot pedal (rest for when you're not using the clutch) which some larger cars do not have.
In the nearly 6 years I've had the car I've used 1 headlight bulb, 2 sets of wipers, get approx 12000 mile per set of tyres (I drive her hard) and 1 window regulator, which was about £150 all in.
The window regulator is the only real unexpected cost but it is a common problem with the Arosa.
The only really big problem with the little car is the tiny tiny boot. It really is small but if you are single or don't use the boot much then it is fine. My wife and I managed to get all our shopping in every week until we bought a new Mazda 2 for her.
I also had and still have a problem with my seat 'squeaking' because of how I sit in it. I'm quite tall but still fit quite nicely although I do like to rest my arm on the window so that side gets more wear hence the squeak. A little oil under the fabric would sort it.
Overall a great little car but it does have a small boot.
~ ~ Seat, the Spanish car manufacturer, have recently launched the new 2001 version of their very popular 1.0 litre Arosa. What has caused most stir in the motoring press has been its new "look", said to be very similar to a BMW in the design of the front lights and grille. They have seemingly "borrowed" from yet another luxury car for the rear view, where the light cluster is nearly identical to the baby Lexus, the IS200. ~ ~ The brand new image has had significant imput from designer Walter de Silva, who has just moved to Seat from Alfa Romeo, where he was the chief stylist. Alfa's big success story of recent times, the 156, was his work, and, so too, is the soon to be released Alfa 147. He has been hired by Seat to give the Spanish marque a more sporty and youthful image, in the style of his old employer in Italy. ~ ~ The Arosa is the last Seat car to be revamped under its model renewal programme, that has already seen major changes to the Toledo, Ibiza, Cordoba, Leon and Alhambra. It arrives on the scene at a moment when Seat is just about to celebrate its 50th birthday as a car manufacturer. At one time the company was the Spanish arm of Fiat, and then became a State-owned concern for many years when Fiat pulled out in the 1980's. The company is now wholly owned by Volkswagen, and its gigantic plant just outside Barcelona is also a large supplier of VW-badged vehicles. ~ ~ The Arosa itself uses the same engine as the VW Lupo, but the 1.0 litre Seat retails at £8,590 (Irish Punts) which is considerably less than the Lupo at £9,360 (Irish Punts) The engines are in fact identical in every respect, and the cars are also a similar size. There are actually five engine options in the Arosa range. There is the 1.0 litre petrol, 50bhp version, two 1.4 litre petrol engines developing 60bhp and 100bhp respectively, and two diesels, a 1.4 and a 1.7 litre. (60bhp and 75bhp) <
br><br>~ ~ The 1.0 litre is an agile and nimble little car, ideal for urban motoring, but can get a tad "breathless" when put through its paces on a motorway. For open-road driving the 75bhp, 1.4 litre Tdi is a much better proposition. The 1.0 litre claims a top speed of 94mph and a 0 to 100km or 62mph speed of 17.4 seconds. What it lacks in acceleration it makes up for in economy, with an average return of around the 50mpg mark. Over 50% of the Arosa is either new or has been modified, and the car's profile is also more aerodynamic with a Cd figure of 0.32. ~ ~ The inside of the car has also been extensively reworked. There's a more modern and functional dashboard layout with a variety of cubbyholes for storage. Softer plastics and a more pleasant textured upholstery are used, and it even has two hand card-holders and two cup-holders. Boot space is a bit cramped, but you almost expect that in what is basically a mini-car. ~ ~ Everything considered, a stylish and economical car, cheap to insure, cheap to run, and at an extremely attractive and affordable price.

Studies on Darters of Southwestern Pennsylvania
Brady Porter, PhD
Associate Professor of Biological Sciences,Duquesne University
Noon–1 p.m.

The great rivers of southwestern Pennsylvania have undergone extensive habitat modification and water quality changes since the late 1800s. Darters, a group of miniature benthic percid fishes, are generally considered intolerant to water pollution. Since 2003, Porter has documented range expansions for several state-imperiled darter species using electrofishing and benthic trawling surveys. Research on local darters has provided insight on water quality, natural history, and the evolution of the group.
Porter received his PhD in Zoology from The Ohio State University and conducted postdoctoral research with the Department of Genetics and the Institute of Ecology at the University of Georgia. He is a member of the PA Fish Technical Committee and serves as Research Coordinator for the Murphy's Bottom Ecological Project, reclaiming an abandoned mining site along the Allegheny River.

It was a result of the improvable mental and moral qualities which belong to the human species.
Brother, the wight is improvable, and this must not be borne withal.
I should apprehend this bog to be among the most improvable in the country.
Man is an improvable being, and some advancement may be expected in his condition.
It will be more to the point, after having said so much upon improving books, to say a word or two about the improvable reader.
Therefore, use your government interest for him, for he is improved and improvable.
Man is an improvable being, and indefinite progress is the law of his existence.
As a whole, the creature appears to be innately the dullest and least improvable of all our servitors.
It will be more to the point, after have said so much upon improving books, to say a word or two about the improvable reader.
When you tell him that his soul is not improvable by material conditions, you prevent him from making himself better than he is.
late 15c., "to use to one's profit, to increase (income)," from Anglo-French emprouwer "to turn to profit" (late 13c.), from Old French en-, causative prefix, + prou "profit," from Latin prode "advantageous" (see proud). Spelling with -v- was rare before 17c. Meaning "to raise to a better quality or condition" first recorded 1610s. Phrase improve the occasion retains the etymological sense. Meaning "to turn land to profit" (by clearing it, erecting buildings, etc.) was in Anglo-French (13c.) and was retained in the American colonies.

Best Of :: People & Places
In 1987, some hippy artists lost their pad in the Grove, formed a nonprofit, and bought an old bread factory in Wynwood. Back then, the area's main offerings were heroin, guns, and abandoned bread factories. Nowadays, the neighborhood is the epicenter of Miami's art world. While a new gallery seems to pop up and shut down every week, the Bakehouse Art Complex is thriving in its 24th year in the game. Here, more than 70 professional working artists use their studios, two common galleries, photo and print labs, and wood-working, ceramics, and welding areas to express themselves. They are handpicked by a jury and come not only from Miami but also all over the world. The Bakehouse is open to the public every day from noon to 5 p.m., and guests are welcome to visit and interact with the artists in their environs. There are also art classes, membership opportunities, and a monthly art party. This is one awesome place.
What you need is a weekend away. But alas, Miamians, you're already living in the very place most Floridians vacation. So where to go? If you answered the Keys, go ahead and line up in bumper-to-bumper traffic on the Seven Mile Bridge. (Besides, it's the same pastel motels, just more coconuts.) Instead, steer the car north like you're heading for Disney, but bypass all the mouse-touting exits and that spooky biblical theme park called the Holy Land Experience. Deep in the Ocala National Forest is Wekiwa Springs State Park, where you can spend the weekend camping in a backcountry Florida Shangri-la. Here's the scene: Moss-draped oaks canopy the park's springs, and pristine blue water nestles in natural rock that, thanks to the Floridan Aquifer, is always a cool 72 degrees. As for lodging, choose one of the campsites in the inner circle for the best shade, and kayak the Wekiwa Lagoon for some guaranteed gator watching. Camping costs $24 a night, or for primitive camping, $5 a person. Otherwise, park admission is $6 per car. For noncampers, the park is open 8 a.m. to sunset.
Most TV news talking heads, even the dudes, look and act like failed beauty queens trying to make a second career for themselves. But WSVN's Belkys Nerey bucks that trend. The 42-year-old Emmy winner is a solid, straight-up anchorwoman — telegenic but still intelligent. Born in Havana, Nerey spent her childhood in Long Island before tripping down I-95 to South Florida. Once here, she studied radio and television at Miami Dade College and Florida International University, got her start in cable news, and earned a spot in the Magic City's media parade as cohost of local gossip institution Deco Drive. Today, Nerey is cruising through the post-Deco phase of her career, holding down WSVN's nightly newscasts alongside Craig Stevens. And whether it's a celebrity sex scandal or a political con job, she always delivers the day's stories with appropriate seriousness. Case in point: Unlike some of the lesser faces populating the public airwaves, Nerey never falls prey to that annoying TV anchor tic of flashing a vacant smile after reporting Miami's latest murder.
Without warning, a woman brandishes two bushels of tree limbs and proceeds to beat our friend Lourdes from toes to shoulders. Between sweeps of the soggy branches, the woman dumps bucket after bucket of cold water on our friend. No, she's not swabbing the deck of a fishing boat. She's helping Lourdes relax with platza, one of the traditional spa treatments available at the Russian and Turkish Baths on Miami Beach. The baths attract Miami's ultimate relaxation-seekers, those who are willing to abandon modesty, vanity, and sometimes plain old comfort if it gets them closer to bliss. Women and men in barely-there bathing suits, heads wrapped in towel turbans, endure the volcanic heat of the schvitz as if sweating were a way to absolve past sins. A skeletal older man stands under a heavy waterfall that pounds on his bony shoulders. He raises his head, eyes closed, waiting to be beamed up to the mother ship. Make your way through the rest of the grotto-like rooms and hear the cries of those jumping into the icy polar tank; catch glimpses of red flesh, pores screaming from the extreme heat, and shield your eyes from the meaty woman having the mud hosed off. What are you looking at, you perv? Pass the wet branches and wait your turn. A day pass costs $30, and the baths are open from noon until midnight.
Michael Putney doesn't tweet. He doesn't pop up when we search his name on Facebook. And as far as we can tell, he doesn't blog. No, sir, Michael Putney is decidedly old school, and in this Internet age, we couldn't appreciate him more. While most TV reporters seem to come and go, Putney has been covering local government and politics in South Florida for nearly 30 years. Add to his incisive reporting a hosting gig on This Week in South Florida, one of the few must-watch local programs, and his occasional columns in the Miami Herald (which often upstage the newspaper's regular gaggle of columnists). There are few voices on local airwaves we trust as much as Putney and who report on politics with such authority.
Miami is a town where clubs spit out adjectives like exclusive, VIP, and upscale like an overchewed piece of Juicy Fruit. But WALL Lounge is actually one of the few places that can blow hard without bursting its own bubble. Jessica Alba, Gabrielle Union, the All American Rejects, Erykah Badu, Swizz Beatz, Jamie Foxx, Jason Binn, and Selita Ebanks are just a few of the celebrities who have walked through WALL's infamous doors. Other guest sightings have been rumored, but unless the press snaps a picture, they're almost impossible to confirm. In fact, it's nearly impossible to get a photo of the place, period. WALL's success lies in its size; it is so boutique it does not merit a VIP section — the lounge itself is the VIP. So if you're lucky enough to get in, keep the video phone ready — you might catch a TMZ-worthy moment.

Pelosi's Sabotage of Cindy Sheehan for Congress Campaign
The Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign is doing so well that all the opposing incumbent Democrat Nancy Pelosi has is election fraud. Democrat Nancy Pelosi is the millionaire 20-year incumbent of the 8th CD, covering most of San Francisco, who took impeachment of Bush & Cheney off the table and led the charge to give our tax dollars to banks and insurance companies.
The Cindy Sheehan for Congress campaign is doing so well that all the opposing incumbent Nancy Pelosi has is election fraud. Democrat Nancy Pelosi is the millionaire 20-year incumbent of the 8th CD, covering most of San Francisco, who took impeachment of Bush & Cheney off the table and led the charge to give our tax dollars to banks and insurance companies.
The full story may be found here:
Some highlights from this October 13, 2008 story:
"Two weeks ago, we were begged by organizers of a "radical" music festival called "We the People(Sheeple)" forbade me from speaking after having begged me to be there. An article in LA Beat said that the Mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigoso was involved in the decision to silence my voice. Not only did we go down to L.A. at our own expense, but also we took an entire day of valuable campaign time to do so."
"The past week, though, has been incredibly trying. First of all we had to file a restraining order against a former volunteer whom, with hindsight, we now know was probably spying on us for the Pelosi camp. After we let this person go, his emails to us became increasingly hostile and threatening. After that happened, the tail lights in our campaign-mobile were busted out (the campaign mobile that has Cindy for Congress signs all over it and pictures of it were in an AP story."
"Towards the end of the week, four young men walked into our office and they were acting quite suspiciously as they pretended to be registering to vote. One of our interns was helping them when I heard her yell: "No! Stop!" I heard an awful noise and ran out of my office to see the young men run off. They had grabbed one of our computers (leaving a jar of donations on the front desk) and beat our intern over the head when she tried to stop them. Our front windows are almost totally covered with signs and posters and it would be hard to see what we have from the street…we did, thankfully, recover the computer which has sensitive material on it and we are even more thankful that Somer is okay. (She's tough like her boss)."
"After several days of harassment, I got home late one night to discover a jury summons in my mailbox. I have been summoned to jury duty the week of, you guessed it, the elections!"
"The final (and in my opinion worse) weird thing happened on Saturday night. We had scheduled a group of "robo" calls to go out today (Monday, Oct 13). At 10:30 Saturday night, we started getting phone calls and emails blasting us for sending out the calls at 10:30 on a Saturday night, which is not only illegal, but extremely annoying. The company had approached us to donate 10,000 calls to us and then was charging us a small fee for the rest of the calls. 38,000 early/absentee voters received this call and my office has been overwhelmed with angry voters who won't be voting for me now and some of the good will that we have been building here in San Francisco for the last year went down the drain in just a few minutes."
There is nothing normal about this; this is fascism, as is election fraud generally.

text: By DividendChannel.com The DividendRank formula at Dividend Channel ranks a coverage universe of thousands of dividend stocks, according to a proprietary formula designed to identify those stocks that combine two important characteristics â¿¿ strong fundamentals and a valuation that looks inexpensive. Automatic Data Processing Inc. (NASD: ADP) presently has an excellent rank, in the top 25% of the coverage universe, which suggests it is among the top most "interesting" ideas that merit further research by investors. But making Automatic Data Processing Inc. an even more interesting and timely stock to look at, is the fact that in trading on Friday, shares of ADP entered into oversold territory, changing hands as low as $52.13 per share. We define oversold territory using the Relative Strength Index, or RSI, which is a technical analysis indicator used to measure momentum on a scale of zero to 100. A stock is considered to be oversold if the RSI reading falls below 30. Click here to find out what 9 other oversold dividend stocks you need to know about, at DividendChannel.com » In the case of Automatic Data Processing Inc., the RSI reading has hit 29.8 â¿¿ by comparison, the universe of dividend stocks covered by Dividend Channel currently has an average RSI of 37.8. A falling stock price â¿¿ all else being equal â¿¿ creates a better opportunity for dividend investors to capture a higher yield. Indeed, ADP's recent annualized dividend of 1.58/share (currently paid in quarterly installments) works out to an annual yield of 3.01% based upon the recent $52.52 share price. A bullish investor could look at ADP's 29.8 RSI reading today as a sign that the recent heavy selling is in the process of exhausting itself, and begin to look for entry point opportunities on the buy side. Among the fundamental datapoints dividend investors should investigate to decide if they are bullish on ADP is its dividend history.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -Mason Finley continued a stellar career on Saturday at the NCAA West Preliminary, as he threw the discus 197-2 to finish fourth in the event and punch his ticket to the NCAA Championships in Eugene, Ore. Finley is just the second UW track and field athlete ever to advance to the national meet under the current qualifying system and the first since 2010.
"Mason did a nice job of getting through this meet and that was the goal," UW associate head coach Paul Barrett said. "We shut it down after three throws due to the long wait with the big field and some back tightness, but he did his job to secure a spot for the NCAA Championships."
Junior Paul Thomas nearly joined Finley at the national meet, as he placed 16th in the discus at 179-11. He was just six feet shy of the 12th and final qualifying spot.
"I thought Paul competed very well by making the finals, but just came up a little short of making it to Eugene," Barrett said. "This will give him great confidence heading into his senior year next year towards making that final cut."
Junior Shreese Daniels placed 40th in the hammer on Saturday with a toss of 167-9, while sophomore Scott Carter was 43rd in the triple jump at 46-8 1/4 and sophomore Amos Bowen was 45th in the 5,000 meters in 15:27. Wyoming scratched out of the 4x100-meter relay.
The men's discus will be contested at the NCAA Championships on Friday, June 13, at 5 p.m. MT.

My mind has been all over the place lately - and definitely nowhere near Christmas mode. Anyway, this month's Craft Challenge is for Christmas. So I had to come up with something, right?
Christmas in our home is a mix between traditional and whimsical. For example, I have all the classic Christmas ornaments from my grandma, but they share the tree with all kinds of adorable not-so-traditional ones: the Eiffel tower, turquoise toadstools, a silver pick-up truck... in a blue, white and silver extravaganza. That's why I decided to create some doxie Christmas ornaments this year.
Now you only need to make a cute bead collar with a little silver bell (after all, it is a Christmas ornament) and a ribbon. Easy, right? Some glitter might be nice, too.
This doxie might not be your traditional Christmas decoration, but for me it is spot on. I hope you enjoyed it! I can't wait to see what you all created for Christmas - come again next week to link up your projects (and to give me some much-needed Christmas inspiration)!
I really cannot wait to see what you guys have been doing too. I cannot even think of Christmas right now. Selling a flat, moving, marking examinations, writing full reports, organising a poetry recitation and maintaining day-to-day teaching responsibilities (you know....lesson preparation, book and assessment marking, meetings and the like...) is taking up every inch of head-space....it's taken up so much head-space I even forgot that I am going through a list of companies the size of me with whom I need to change my name. How have I only got 3.5 weeks of work left? I keep asking myself how can I fit all of this into the next 29 days? I am not sure I can....let alone even consider Christmas shopping.
Any tips on coping with this folks? Well, needless to say I will be back next week with the round-up post and then my last project of the year. I have an idea of what I want to do. Shall we keep our fingers crossed that I have time?

The Phoenix Suns have named player development coordinator Lindsey Hunter as the interim coach for the second half of the season. Hunter was chosen over assistant coaches Elston Turner and Dan Majerle. Hunter has no coaching experience and was a scout last season for the Suns before being named the player development coordinator this summer.
After going to college at Jackson State University, Hunter had a very distinguished 17 year NBA career and played with six different teams. He won two NBA championships, one with the Lakers in 01-02 and the other with the Pistons in 03-04. Other awards won during Hunter's career were the SWAC Player of the Year in 1993 while at Jackson State and making the 2nd team NBA All Rookie team in 1993-94 with the Pistons.
Hunter takes over a Suns team that has lost 13 of their last 15 games and currently sits in last place in the Western Conference with a 13-28 record. Hunter is expected to play younger guys such as Kendall Marshall, Wesley Johnson and Michael Beasley more often the rest of the season to see if they can develop into better players for the future. The Suns next game is Wednesday night at Sacramento. Hunter will make his home debut Thursday night on national television against the Los Angeles Clippers.Tags: Basketball, Lindsey Hunter, NBA, Phoenix, Phoenix Suns

The Daughter Village (CN7) in the Oyomesan province, [1] was so named in honor of Doji Mioko, the low-ranking daughter of the Doji family who nonetheless caught the Hantei's eye and became the first Empress. [2]
Appearance Edit
Musume Mura looked out over Yakamo's Heart [2] toward the island where the first Hantei found his bride. The large village housed a shrine dedicated to Hantei and his bride, the main exibit being a single Jade tear shed by the Emperor when he asked the young Crane maiden to marry him. [3]
Matchmakers Edit
The finest marriage arrangers of the Crane made Musume Mura their home. [4] Unlike the stereotypical image of a gruff, meddling, heartless marriage arranger, the arrangers in Musume Mura were cautious, compassionate, and always took the best interests of both parties to heart when arranging a union. [2] A major shrine to Ko-no-hama, the Fortune of Marriage, was built there. [5]
Village of Vice Edit
Indolent, lecherous bachelors were attracted to a village where it was said young women unable to find a spouse wandered the streets in large numbers. Sake and geisha houses were established along the wharf, and the village's convenient location soon attracted smugglers, pirates, and other sea trash. A strangely profitable tertiary industry of entertainment and smuggling was created in Musume Mura, within the Wharf District. [6]
History Edit
Bloodspeaker Attack Edit
In 1166 several villagers were killed by Bloodspeakers. Isawa Sezaru killed them all. [7]
Blood Hunt Edit
The Imperial Legions discovered a cell within the city during the Blood Hunt and destroyed it. [8]

By Department of Defense Education ActivityApril 5, 2007
ARLINGTON, Va. (Army News Service, April 5, 2007) - The Department of Defense Education Activity is encouraging families of children attending its overseas schools to reapply for free and reduced price school lunches.
Earlier this year, DoDEA requested an increase in the reimbursement rate USDA provides for school lunches. The USDA approved the request and also authorized the use of the Alaska Income Eligibility Guidelines in qualifying families to participate in the program. More families may qualify under the new guidelines as a result.
This change applies to families of children attending DoDEA schools overseas in Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, Spain, the Azores, Turkey, Korea, Japan and Okinawa. It does not include families of children attending DoDEA schools in Puerto Rico or Guam, who fall under their State Department of Education programs.
The Army and Air Force Exchange Service, the Navy Exchange Service Command and Marine Corps Community Services are designated School Food Authorities for the Department of Defense Dependents Schools overseas. AAFES is the largest SFA, providing U.S. Department of Agriculture-approved school meals to students on Army and Air Force Installations in nine countries throughout Europe and the Pacific.
The school lunch program is designed to meet federal requirements for nutritionally balanced meals and to offer free or reduced-price meals to eligible children.
Installation commanders operate and maintain the program by providing instructions on how to apply for the program, determining eligibility of applicants, and maintaining and updating a list of students enrolled in the program.

The Rose-Tree
The Rose-Tree is an English fairy tale collected by Joseph Jacobs in English Fairy Tales.[1]
Also included within A Book Of British Fairytales by Alan Garner.
It is Aarne–Thompson type 720, my mother slew me; my father ate me. Another of this type is "The Juniper Tree", where the dead child is a boy; The Rose Tree is an unusual variant of this tale in that the main character is a girl.[2]
A long time ago there was a man who had two children; a daughter by his first wife and a son by his second. His daughter was very beautiful, and although her brother loved her, his mother hated her.
The stepmother sent the daughter to the store to buy candles. But Three times, the girl put down the candles to climb a stile, and a dog stole them. When the daughter returned, her stepmother told her to come and let her comb her hair. The stepmother claimed that she could not comb it on her knee, or with the comb, and sent the girl for a piece of wood and an axe. When she returned, the stepmother cut off her head.
She stewed her heart and liver, and her husband tasted them and said they tasted strangely. The brother did not eat but buried his sister under a rose-tree. Every day he wept under it.
One day, the rose-tree flowered, and a white bird appeared. It sang to a cobbler and received a pair of red shoes; it sang to a watchmaker and received a gold watch and chain; it sang to three millers and received a millstone. Then it flew home and rattled the millstone against the eaves. The stepmother said that it thundered, and the boy ran out, and the bird dropped the shoes at his feet. It rattled the millstone again, the stepmother said that it thundered, the father went out, and the bird dropped the watch and chain at his feet. It rattled the millstone a third time, and the stepmother went out, and the bird dropped the millstone on her head.

What A Treasure Chest
4/25/2013 by BY MARK MUNSON
Did you hear about the preacher who was invited over to eat in the home of his Senior Deacon? It was a wonderful meal cooked by his wife, who was a master chief?in the kitchen. When everyone had eaten and was full, the deacon?s wife, wanting to impress her pastor, said to her young daughter, ?Honey, go and get that book that mommy loves so much,? knowing that her little girl would bring out the family Bible. In just a few minutes, the young girl emerged with the Sears and Roebuck Catalogue!
?Then there was the new minister who was asked to teach the Boys Class in Sunday School in absence of the regular teacher. Wanting to know what the boys knew about the Bible, he asked, ?Who knocked down the walls of Jericho?? And one by one the boys answered, ?I don?t know, preacher, but it wasn?t me!? And when he spoke to the deacon body about it, one of them rose and said, ?Listen, preacher, I see that this is bothering you. But I know these boys and if they said they didn?t knock down those walls, then they didn?t do it!?
?Then there was the young college student who went off to Duke University. When he left home, his parents gave him a Bible and told him to read it every day. He said he would. Soon he began to run out of money and wrote home asking for some to be sent. His parents sent back?a letter telling him to read certain chapters and verses in his Bible. He said he did but still didn?t have?any money. When he returned home for Spring Break, his parents said, ?Now, we know you haven?t been reading your Bible.? ?How do you know that,? he asked. ?Because,? they said, ?if you had read what we told you, you would have found money behind every chapter and verse we sent you.?
?You and I, and most homes in this glorious country, have a treasure chest of wealth sitting around in our homes, but we don?t know it. It?s called, The Bible, and it?s?our road-map for life. The Psalmist said, ?Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.? (Ps. 119:105). It is food for our soul. Psalms 119:103?says, ?How sweet are Your words to my taste, Sweeter than honey to my mouth.? It furnishes light for our understanding. Again the Psalmist has said, ?The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple.? (Psalm 119:130) And it makes us wise unto salvation. Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:15, ?And that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.??We ought to love it, (Ps. 1:2), study it, (Ps. 119:16), and hide it?s teachings in our heart, (Ps. 119:11), and keep them ever before us as our guide, (Deuteronomy 11:18-21).
?Someone once asked Martin Luther, who is credited with the Spiritual Reformation of the 1500?s, ?How do you study your Bible?? Reverend Luther replied, ?I study my Bible like I gather apples. First, I shake the whole tree that the ripest may fall. Then I shake each limb, and when I have shaken each limb, I shake each branch and every twig. Then I look under every leaf. I search the Bible as a whole like shaking the whole tree. Then I shake every limb--study book after book. Then I shake every branch, giving attention to the chapters. Then I shake every twig, for a careful study of the paragraphs and sentences and words and their meanings.??If we studied our Bible like Martin Luther did, we would find a world treasure chest full of helpful information. How long has it been since you last studied your Bible? Well, that?s too long!

Open Letter to Mumia Abu-Jamal
Letter read by Eugenia Gutiérrez at rally in solidarity with Mumia Abu-Jamal at the US Embassy on December 9.
Mexico City, December 9, 2008.
Letter to Mumia Abu-Jamal, political prisoner from Philadelphia.
In this country where I live there are many people who are with you and who respect you, people who know about your struggle, who have read your writings, who know about your resistance, and who are mobilizing against the abuses of power that run throughout your history.
People here who are with you here, known as the Friends of Mumia, have organized an event a few yards away from the United States Embassy in Mexico City to lift a collective voice of protest against the physical and psychological cruelty that the most powerful State in the world has inflicted on you and your family. That is why I am writing to you now.
We were born to live and be free. Yet for some strange reason that historians may be able to explain thousands of years from now, in our society that is considered so modern and so civilized, the prerogative exists to legally torture a human being, subjecting him to an entire life in prison, completely isolating him from family and friends, and as if that weren't enough, keeping him under the uninterrupted threat that at any moment, he will be murdered by the institutions of justice with malice aforethought and criminal intent.
One of the big problems with getting away with cruelty is that this is contagious. As you know, the death penalty does not exist in Mexico. At least, not officially or in a way that is clearly permitted. It was officially banned in 2004, but in reality, the last time someone was killed within a legal framework, was August 9, 1961, when the soldier José Isaías Constante Laureano went before a firing squad for having taken the lives of two other soldiers: Cristóbal Granados Jasso and Juan Pablo MaDobecker. José Isaías was 28 years old and died in the early morning hours in a state in the northern part of my country: Coahuila. Today, the governor of that same state, Humberto Moreira, from the same city where the death penalty was halted (Saltillo), is following in the footsteps of the 54 nations where capital punishment still exists.
In the face of the uncontrollable wave of kidnappings in Mexico, the product of drug lord greed, governmental neglect, and the complicity of the police, the governor and state legislature of Coahuila introduced a bill last December 2, seeking the reinstatement of the death penalty in our country and its application to kidnappers. Governor Humberto Moreira has stated that the death penalty is not in question; the only doubt is the appropriate method. The only matter for discussion is "how we're going to kill them, if we take them before a firing squad, slit their throats, hang them, or use a light method, like lethal injection". Here, I should emphasize that one of the main groups promoting the death penalty in Mexico is a political party ironically named the Ecologist Green Party.
If I tell you about something so terrible and shameful, it's because I know that the changes in behavior and the rules of living together socially that we need to survive as a species will never take place in institutions where power is exercised and force is applied, but instead will come from people whose stories, like your own, jolt the part of us that is human and lead us to question what we are doing as societies. Not even the most ferocious beast relies on a system of punishment or vengeance so structurally cruel as the death row on which you live.
To say it another way: if it was possible for me to hear Governor Moreira's words and not lose faith that it is possible to live together in a different way, it's precisely because stories like yours exist, in which a man makes a supreme effort not to turn into what he's struggled against and has known how to confront, with firmness, integrity, and love of life, a system that proposes death and vengeance as medicine for its fears.
If it's savage to murder a human being as punishment for having killed someone, sending an innocent person to death row is an indescribable abuse. How then, is it possible to define what has happened to you, constantly denied a fair trial so that you can prove your innocence? And how is it possible to achieve justice for young Daniel Faulkner, killed that night in 1981, without knowing even now what happened and who took his life?
During the last few days as I've gone over your writings, your political activities as a young man, and all that you've done in prison, I've reaffirmed my conviction that one can and must live without violence and that it's not only possible, but necessary, to find forms of human relations that cast aside vengeance, rancor, and the use of force.
Stories like yours remind us at every instant that we, like you, were born to live and be free.
Please receive these warm greetings from Mexico City.
Eugenia Gutiérrez.
