There was a time when signing day meant no more to UCLA than a day to sit back and reflect on the wins and losses of the recruiting period, a day of relative ease and relaxation.
Things are a bit different now.
Last year, the Bruins got running back Damien Thigpen, offensive tackle Xavier Su'a-Filo, offensive guard Stan Hasiak and wide receiver Randall Carroll on signing day.
With seven key recruits still up for grabs, Rick Neuheisel and Co. will be glued to the television today as player after player makes his decision known on live TV.
Dietrich Riley, the No. 16 safety from St. Francis of La Ca ada, is going live on ESPNU at 1:30 p.m.
Anthony Jefferson, the No. 15 cornerback from Los Angeles Cathedral, is up on Prime Ticket at noon.
Ricky Heimuli, the No. 10 defensive tackle from Brighton, Utah, starts things off on ESPNU at 9:30 a.m.
The UCLA coaching staff will watch with bated breath.
But the fact the Bruins are in the mix for these players is a change.
Put Neuheisel in a suit, give him a snappy comeback and air him on TNT. amd Kyra Sedgwick isn't the only closer.
"Neuheisel loves a challenge," Scout.com West region recruiting manager Brandon Huffman said. "To him, the living room is his favorite place. To be able to sell mom and dad on the virtues of UCLA is something he thrives on. He loves that part.
"You have a lot of UCLA fans who panic because they didn't have a lot of guys early on. 'What's taking so long?' But it used to be UCLA would have to spend the last four months trying to hold on to recruits; now they're planting the seed early and spending the next four months going after them."
The Bruins have strong verbal commitments from top prospects including Oaks Christian of Westlake Village's Malcolm Jones and Loyola of Los Angeles' Anthony Barr, but closing strong hadn't been a hallmark until recently. Now, in addition to Riley, Jefferson and Heimuli, UCLA is waiting on word from St. Bonaventure of Ventura center Giovanni Di Poalo, Edison of Huntington Beach linebacker Jordan Zumwalt and Crenshaw linebacker Hayes Pullard.
The class of 2007 was the turning point, with local commits from Brian Price and Akeem Ayers, but the class of '08 was the tide-turner.
That class landed All-American Rahim Moore, starting quarterback Kevin Prince and nine others in the two-deep rotation as underclassmen.
"Really the class of '08 would be the one that you would say that," Huffman said. "You've got your starting quarterback from there, Nelson Rosario, Cory Harkey, Jeff Baca, Rahim Moore, eight or nine starters. This is a byproduct of the last two classes. Elite players can and will pick UCLA. If they can land Owa and five of these guys (today), then this class, defensively is as good a class as they've ever had."
The Owa he refers to is Douglass High of Portland, Ore., defensive end Owamagbe Odighizuwa, Scout.com's eighth-rated defensive end. Odighizuwa said late last week he was completely torn between UCLA, Oregon State and Nebraska.
He would be considered a major coup for the coaching staff, which covets his speed-rush capabilities, although they've been working diligently on him for months.
"Things have changed dramatically in terms of players, the talent level and the aggressiveness in which they're recruiting them," Huffman said. "It really shifted. They offered Akeem Ayers and Brian Price, and that was UCLA's first victory.
"Then next year you have Rahim Moore and Aaron Hester. That was the first time you saw them say, `We're going to go after these guys and we're not going to settle.' "
Speaking of unsettled, for as much as Neuheisel and the UCLA coaching staff will be sweating out today, Bruins fans might even be more nervous.
Last year represented a true changing of the guard.
This year, any bit of recruiting news is chewed up and swallowed even as the next piece is being cooked.

Being a WW2 film buff I was wondering if anyone remembers this one?
This is the rather violent film with Anthony Quinn, James Mason and in one of the most over the top performances ever put on screen, Malcolm Mcdowell as the crazes Nazi officer in pursuit. The kind of guy who cuts peoples' fingers off and rapes woman just for fun.
And you might even remember Christopher Lee in a support role as a Gypsy who gets burnt to death.
Spectacular location footage and solid direction by J. Lee Thompson- I'm sure if you have seen it you'll remember.
BTW, Is there a DVD release anywhere or on the horizon?

Students from Taylorsville Elementary School helped the Natural History Museum of Utah on Tuesday unveil a new Traveling Treasures exhibit titled "A Fossil's Journey."
The exhibit, a partnership between the museum and Zions Bank, uses interactive activities to tell the story of how scientists discover fossils in the field and how these fossils travel to a museum to be researched.
As part of the event Tuesday, students were able to touch a rare dinosaur skin impression, see a variety of bone and plant fossils and try their hand using tools to prep a fossil jacket from the field.
The exhibit will be displayed in Zions Banks statewide.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 4/2/2013 (1628 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Staff at a city fast-food restaurant likely didn't think twice about calling police after being threatened by an impaired driver.
He's one of a number of drunk drivers caught lately after making a stop at a local drive-thru.
"The drive-thru staff are going to start asking people if they want fries with their breathalyzer tests," Judge Shauna Hewitt-Michta remarked in court on Monday as she fined the latest driver to get caught behind the wheel at a drive-thru.
City police were called to the Victoria Avenue McDonald's at around 4:20 a.m. on Jan. 30.
They were told that an impaired driver had threatened employees as he steered through the drive-thru.
Police arrived just as the suspect's pickup truck pulled to a stop in the restaurant parking lot.
Two men were in the truck and police determined that the driver had more than the legal amount of alcohol in his system.
Justin Joseph Boyer-McLean, 21, pleaded guilty on Monday to driving with a blood-alcohol level over the legal limit.
No mention was made in court as to why Boyer-McLean felt the need to threaten McDonald's staff.
His lawyer, Philip Sieklicki, however, said the threat consisted of legal action and not a threat to do bodily harm to employees.
Boyer-McLean, himself an employee at a city restaurant, received a $1,500 fine and a one-year driving ban.
This case marked the fourth time in a little more than six weeks that a motorist was charged with impaired driving after a stop at a city fast-food drive-thru.

|Summary: A mail filtering utility
IMAPFilter is a mail filtering utility. It connects to remote mail servers using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP), sends searching queries to the server and processes mailboxes based on the results. It can be used to delete, copy, move, flag, etc. messages residing in mailboxes at the same or different mail servers. The 4rev1 and 4 versions of the IMAP protocol are supported. IMAPFilter uses the Lua programming language as a configuration and extension language.

D&D: Heroes of Neverwinter - New D&D Facebook Game
I don't recall seeing this previously...Atari has a new D&D game titled Heroes of Neverwinter for Facebook (yes, that means microtransactions) that is currently in closed beta. You can check out the official page here or the Facebook page here. There's also a preview at Gamers Underground:
In terms of gameplay, HoN is a typical dungeon crawler: light on story, heavy on combat, and with a little bit of exploration thrown in. Built around a central quest hub (the city of Neverwinter), players are able to easily restock between adventures, and can choose from a range of level appropriate adventures.
Combat is quite faithful to D&D, and includes line-of-sight mechanics and a wide range of abilities. Like many adventure RPGs, the player controls a party of adventures either directly, or with the aid of AI. Combat is of course turn-based, and many abilities are limited to once-per encounter, giving fights a tactical edge.
While there is an exploration aspect to the game, it is quite limited. Dungeons will have optional rooms, and on rare occasions these rooms will sometimes require some exploration to find. For the most part though, the game follows a simple pattern: enter room, kill everything, collect loot, choose a direction, and repeat.

Paul Krugman is right about one thing, "We are, finally, having a national discussion about inequality." This thanks to liberals such as himself who have dragged the issue front and center, using as their springboard statistics suggesting wages aren't rising as fast as profits or productivity.
At the end of his subscription-required column of today, Whining Over Discontent, Krugman indulges in a bit of 'bring it on bravado', claiming that "[we liberals have] got the arguments, and the facts, to win this debate."
But just which debate is he talking about? Let's assume, arguendo, that Krugman & Lefty Co. can prove that inequality is increasing. As we would say back in the old days in the Bronx: "nu?" So what?
Krugman apparently believes he wins the argument simply by proving that inequality is increasing. He never says just what is wrong with inequality. Our country was founded on the principle that we have been endowed with the inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That implies equality of opportunity. In no way does it suggest equality of outcomes. To the contrary, it leaves it up to each individual to define happiness for himself. One man might prize leisure time, another material gain.
But Krugman apparently won't be satisfied until there is at least rough equality in material outcomes. Rather than life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, Krugman would apparently posit dialectical materialism as his operating principle.
If it's all the same to you, Paul, I'll stick to the Declaration of Independence. If, as is apparently the case, you disagree, please tell us why.

Top prospect Latos on a Mission
Fires five perfect frames to extend Double-A dominance
By John Torenli / Special to MLB.com | July 9, 2009 7:33 PM ET
Latos continued his brilliant season Thursday night, striking out seven over five perfect innings as the San Antonio Missions rolled to a 5-1 victory over the Northwest Arkansas Naturals in front of 4,747 fans at Arvest Ballpark.
"I felt really good. Everything was going downhill and my changeup was working really well for me," said Latos. "My slider came along after the first inning. I had good stuff, if not great stuff, today."
Fuson anointed Latos just prior to the 21-year-old right-hander's promotion from Class A Fort Wayne in May. San Diego's 11th-round pick in the 2006 First-Year Player Draft hasn't disappointed at Double-A, going 5-1 with a 1.91 ERA through nine starts after posting a 3-0 mark with an 0.36 ERA in four appearances for the TinCaps.
"Trust me I'm excited about hearing it, but I don't pitch because of that," Latos said of Fuson's praises. "They can rate me the last prospect in the organization. It's a great achievement, but at the end of the day, I still have a job that needs to get done. I'm just like everyone else in Double-A right now."
The Virginia native, who tossed seven one-hit frames against Springfield to pick up his first win with San Antonio on May 29, was at his best again Thursday.
After capping the opening frame by fanning rehabbing Royals third baseman Alex Gordon, Latos struck out the side in the second and breezed thereafter, throwing 42 of 58 pitches for strikes.
With the Padres monitoring Latos' progress closely, the decision to pull him early was precautionary as the former Baseball America Short-Season All-Star has already logged 72 1/3 innings this year.
Last season, the Broward Community College product was limited to 56 frames at three levels due to an oblique injury.
"I was told that because I was injured and didn't throw many innings last year, that they don't want me to go too much over 100 innings," Latos revealed.
After departing, Latos remained in the dugout as Scott Rice tossed a hitless sixth. Brandon Gomes worked a 1-2-3 seventh, but Latos had already retreated to the clubhouse when David Lough broke up the Missions' bid for just the fourth perfect game in Texas League history with a two-out double in the eighth.
Latos, who is expected to pitch in Sunday's All-Star Futures Game in St. Louis, is doing his best to remain locked in the moment, rather than looking ahead to what is shaping up as a bright future.
"I'm taking it step by step, day to day," he said. "I'll wake up tomorrow and it will be a brand new day. You can't look too far ahead of yourself because then you start to bury yourself. I don't want to fall off my gameplan. I just want to work harder tomorrow than I did today."

This is a repost from Christ My Covenant, which published a list I have drafted over time to answer questions put to me about New Covenant Theology. It is a work in progress, and to be honest, isn't simply a reflection of my thought, but others...especially those in the Earth Stove Society. I'm also indebted to Gary Long, who drafted his own set of NCT tenets some time ago.... some may even see this as an expansion of his work.
What is New Covenant Theology?
Chad Richard Bresson
Interpretation of the Bible
1. New Covenant Theology insists on the priority of Jesus Christ over all things, including history, revelation, and redemption. New Covenant Theology presumes a Christocentricity to the understanding and meaning of all reality.
2. Christ in heaven has not only reached the goal of history and its reality, he Himself is the goal of history and reality, giving meaning to all that has occurred in human history and will occur in human history. Since it is Christ who gives meaning to human history, he is the One who interprets all of the deeds and acts of God in history.
3. Special revelation, comprised of the 66 books that we call the Sacred Scriptures, not only informs us about God, but redeems us and makes God present to us, focusing on the person and work of Jesus.
4. New Covenant Theology interprets Scripture after the manner of Christ's and the New Testament writers' use of the Old Testament. Jesus and the inspired New Testament writers, by their use of the Old Testament Scriptures, have left us a pattern by which to interpret not only the Old Testament prophecies, but its history and poetry.
5. The way that Jesus, the Apostles, and the prophets used the Old Testament is normative for this age.
6. The entire Old Testament, the Law, the Psalms, and the Prophets, point forward to and anticipate the WORD Incarnate, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 1:1-2). New Covenant Theology presumes that Jesus Christ, in his person and his saving acts, is the hermeneutic center of the Bible.
7. A careful study of the way Jesus and the New Testament writers understand and write about the Old Testament shows that the Old Testament's anticipated Messiah (and His work) is revealed in the types and shadows of the revelation of the Old Testament, both in God's speech-revelation and God's acts. The Old Testament provides the salvation context for the person and work of Jesus.
8. The Old Covenant scriptures, what we call The Old Testament, are to be interpreted in the light of their new covenant fulfillment in Jesus Christ. Jesus is not only the interpretive key to understanding the Old Testament, the terminology of the Old Testament must be understood through and defined in light of Christ's fulfillment.
9. New Covenant Theology is based upon a redemptive-historical approach to interpreting the Bible, understanding the fulfillment of all of God's promises in Jesus Christ as they are progressively unfolding from Genesis to Revelation.
10. New Covenant Theology presumes that the "now-not yet" principle of interpretation is essential to understand the teaching of the NT.
11. The organic historical connection, and the Christocentric unity that exists between the Old and New Covenants, guarantees the usefulness of the Old Testament for the church.
12. In the term New Covenant Theology we declare that God, for his own delight, has revealed himself and manifested his glory ultimately in the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ and his complete and perfect work on the Cross through which he has established a New Covenant in his blood. (Heb. 7:22; 8:6; 9:11; 10:14)
13. The pinnacle of God's unfolding revelation comes to us in the Incarnate Word, Jesus Christ himself, by the New Testament Scriptures.
14. The two testaments proclaim the same Christocentric message, but from differing standpoints.
15. The New Covenant documents, interpretive of and informed by the Old Covenant documents, are binding for the new people of God until the end of this age.
16. God's redemption of his people is revealed and administered through the unfolding of biblical covenants in the flow of redemptive history.
17. God's promise of the New Covenant was that the Messiah would be Himself the embodiment of an everlasting covenant with His people. This promise, typified in the covenants, is fulfilled in Christ. (Is. 42:6-9; 43:19; 45:21-25; 46:9-13).
18. The Old and New Covenants are two different covenants in terms of both form and function. The one is an administration of death, and the other is an administration of life (2 Cor. 3:6-8).
19. The New Covenant is distinct from, while typified by, previous covenants in the Old Testament. The New Covenant, personified by and incarnated in Christ, fulfills all previous covenants making them obsolete, including the Abrahamic and Sinaitic Covenants.
20. Christ has fulfilled the Adamic, Noaic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, and Davidic covenants in his life, death, resurrection, and exaltation. While he has completely fulfilled them, they yet will be consummated in him in the New Heavens and New Earth.
21. The New Covenant is a new covenant in its own right. The New Covenant is not the Abrahamic Covenant or a recapitulation of the Abrahamic Covenant. The New Covenant is not a new administration of the Mosaic Covenant.
22. The New Covenant is not like the covenant made with the people through Moses. Embodied and personified in Christ, the New Covenant brought into existence through the life and cross work of Christ is made with his redeemed people through grace. God's people do not enter the New Covenant by works, but by grace through faith; it is radically internal, not external; everlasting, not temporary.
23. The tearing in two of the veil in the temple was a decisive, supernatural act that visibly demonstrated the end of the Old Covenant and the establishment of the New. This end of the Old Covenant was consummated in the fall of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple.
24. As the fulfillment of the Old Testament promises of a New Covenant, Jesus Christ personifies, embodies, and incarnates the New Covenant. Thus, he Himself is the New Covenant (Isaiah 42:6, 49:8, Luke 22:20).
25. All of Scripture is to be read, understood, and interpreted in light of the New Covenant, established in Jesus Christ (Matt. 5:17; Luke 10:23-24; 24:27, 44; John 5:46; 8:56; Heb. 10:7). The New Covenant has become the interpretive paradigm for understanding the church's existence in temporal and redemptive history.
26. True biblical theology of the New Covenant is the recognition of God's purpose, unfolding and weaving its way from Genesis to Revelation on the timeline of redemptive history, culminating in Jesus Christ.
27. Christ's inauguration of the New Covenant brings in things that are both qualitatively and quantatively "newer," expressed in developing the theological significance of such basic concepts as new wineskins, new teaching, new commandment, new creation, new man, new name, new song, new Jerusalem and all things new (Rev. 21:5).
The Law
28. The Law of Moses (as a totality) was connected to a particular covenant people. It was codified after a specific act of redemption, the Exodus.
29. In the ultimate purpose of God, this Mosaic economy was temporary, destined to exist "until the time of reformation" (Heb.9:10) when God would speak in a final way in His Son in the last days (Heb.1:1-2).
30. Everything going on in Israel, including the covenants and the law, was of a typical nature, and was fulfilled in the person and work of Christ (Heb.3:5; 8:5; 9:8-9) who is the New Israel of God (Matthew 2:15).
31. The Ten Commandments are not eternal moral law first written in the heart of man at creation and forever binding upon all mankind.
32. The Decalogue is not "transcovenantal".
33. The church no longer has to do with the law in any other way than in Christ, being onnomos Christou (in-lawed to Christ). The Old Covenant law, including the Decalogue, has been completely fulfilled in Jesus Christ which it typified (foreshadowed) in shadow and stone.
34. New Covenant believers are in-lawed to Christ through their union with Christ, and in the indwelling of the Holy Spirit; they are not under the Old Covenant law of Moses.
35. Because the Old Covenant law, including the Decalogue, has been fulfilled in Jesus Christ, New Covenant Theology denies that the Old Covenant law, including the Decalogue, is binding on New Covenant believers today. Yet, as the special revelation of God as fulfilled in Christ, the Old Covenant law, including the Decalogue, continues to inform behavior in the New Covenant.
36. All behavioral norms, including those detailed in the Decalogue, are ultimately defined by and expressed in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
37. Just as the law cannot justify, the law cannot sanctify. Just as it is impossible to be justified by the law, one cannot be sanctified by the law. The background problem being addressed by Paul in 2 Corinthians 3, Galatians 3-5, and Romans 7 (albeit in 3 different church situations) is the attempt to be sanctified by the law.
38. Regeneration does not change the inability of the law to transform. "Walking" in or by the law is the antithesis of "walking" in or by the Spirit (Galatians 5).
39. The New Covenant law is called the law of Christ which is distinguished -- both in substance and in form -- from the Mosaic law.
40. God's Old Covenant law is fulfilled in Christ Himself and obeyed by those in Christ who love God and their neighbor.
41. New Covenant Theology insists that the law of Christ is not to be equated with the Decalogue, nor, is it to be equated with that work of the law which was on the heart of Adam and all natural men.
42. The Old Covenant Sabbath commandment is typologically fulfilled by Christ for the people of God who rest in Him by faith (Romans 14:5; Colossians 2:16,17; Heb. 4:9-10). New Covenant Theology denies that Sunday is a Christian Sabbath after the manner of the Old Covenant.
43. Christ is the Law of the New Covenant, incarnating the new standard of judgment as to what "has had its day" in the law and what has abiding validity (Col. 2:17). The Holy Spirit is the indwelling Law of Christ, causing New Covenant members to obey Christ the Law in conformity to His image.
44. God also promised that each New Covenant member would have His law written on their hearts. This promise, typified by circumcision, is fulfilled by the Holy Spirit who dwells in believers to guide their steps and conform them to Christ.
45. Just as the Old Covenant community was structured by written revelation which centered in Moses, so the New Covenant community is ordered by the "law of Christ" as personified and incarnated in the person of Jesus Christ, applied by the Holy Spirit, and given in the writing of the Apostles and prophets (Eph.2:20).
46. The indwelling Holy Spirit, the law written on the heart, is the norm for Christian living.
47. New Covenant Theology emphasizes that it is the Spirit, the indwelling "law", who both causes (Ezekiel 36:27) and enables the Christian to be conformed to and transformed into Christ's image, Who is the Imago Dei, the perfect image of God.
48. Because Christ has obeyed the law on behalf of his people and has become a law for his people, unlike the external Mosaic law, the Law of Christ as the Spirit applied to the redeemed is able to effect and enable the obedience and love that is in accord with Christ's obedience and love.
49. For the New Covenant church, the law of God is no longer an external standard that demands compliance with the will of God. The Law of Christ as the indwelling Spirit is now an internal person who causes and inclines us to obey God from the heart.
50. The New Commandment of the New Covenant, the Law of Christ, expresses the indwelling of the Spirit through belief in Christ and love for one another (John 13:34, Galatians 6:2, 1 John 3:23) .
51. NCT does not teach that the Ten Commandments are the objective standard for evaluating the Christian life. Christ is now the objective standard by which all holiness in the Christian life is measured.
52. The progression of history to a final New Covenant guarantees the "law of Christ", as personified and incarnated by Jesus Christ, and applied by the Spirit who is written on the heart, to be sufficient for the church.
The Church
53. The dominion of Christ over His Kingdom (the church, Matt. 16:19, 18:17,18), typified and foreshadowed in Israel's Old Testament theocracy, has been inaugurated in the New Covenant, is expressed in the New Testament, and is effectively carried out in the life of the local assembly, the visible New Covenant church.
54. The visible and local New Covenant church is the primary means by which the invisible church is expressed and manifested in the New Covenant.
55. The church on earth is located in the local church. New Covenant Theology recognizes that Christ exercises his Lordship in and through the local church.
56. The New Covenant church is a local, visible colony of the universal gathering in heaven. The universal gathering of God's redeemed people has begun on earth in the form and expression of the local church. Thus by intent and design, the local church as a gathering of New Covenant people who participate in faith, mirrors the universal gathering of the redeemed.
57. It is through the New Covenant church that God's wisdom for the ages and his purposes throughout revelation and history -- having been fulfilled in Jesus -- are most visibly expressed.
58. New Covenant Theology posits that the Church, which is the body of Christ (Eph. 1:22-23; Col. 1:18), first came into visible existence in history when the Spirit descended and was poured out at Pentecost, not in past history under the Old Covenant. There is only one redemptive purpose for the people of God, which is the Church, the good olive tree (Rom. 11), the body of Christ (Eph. 2:13-22; 3:1-12), the visible expression of which is the local church.
59. The New Covenant is now in force and finds its fulfillment in Jesus, the antitypical Israel.
60. New Covenant Theology sees, in the church, a fulfillment of promises that, in their Old Testament context, seem to be addressed to Israel as a nation.
61. New Covenant Theology denies that there is a one to one correlation between Israel and the New Covenant church. Israel was not the church in the Old Covenant, which consisted of an admixture of those who participated in faith and those who did not.
62. Under the Old Covenant, Israel was the people of God. Under the New Covenant, the church is the people of God.
63. In the Old Covenant, Israel, the second Adam, was a demonstration and proclamation of Jesus as a type. Israel typified the New Israel and His redeemed new covenant people of God. That which was true of Israel, in type, is now true of Jesus as the Federal Head of his people and God's new covenant people in fulfillment. Thus, the supreme covenantal formula promised to Israel is now true of the church: Jehovah is our God, and we are His people.

Discussion in 'History Zone' started by Hostile, Jul 13, 2007.
Oh yeah! I forgot about that.:laugh2:
Judging by the way the team played in December, I'd say Jerry and Bill were wearing depends and the players were wearing panties.
For me, Super Bowl XXX was awsome. My best friend, who I have known since I was 9, is a life long Steelers fan. You cannot imagine the torture I endured from him after SBs X and XIII. Being able to give him a little of it back to him was great. Watching that game, I kept praying there would be no dropped touchdown pass or a bogus pass interference call that would cost Dallas the game. Things did get a little hairy for the Cowboys in the second half. To this day, I don't understand what got into Neil O'Donnell. On each of those interceptions, the two receivers ran staggered ins and he threw the ball as if the routes were outs. The first one could be written off as just a mistake, but the second one was just plain stupid. After the bad breaks that went against Dallas in X and XIII, I guess you could call it poetic justice.
Ugh, that stupid San Fran game. I couldn't sell a car for a month after that stupid game because all the customers were angry and confrontational. It was my first taste of life in Dallas, if they lost drivers would drive like...Dallas drivers today. If they won they would wave you into their lane, allow you to turn first, etc.
Are you sure that wasn't just because you were a car salesman?
Man I'd hate to think of what they would have done to me had they discovered the tricks my dealership was pulling.

Curriculum Vita
R. Darden Bradshaw
Assistant Professor
- Full-Time Faculty
Artist and educator R. Darden Bradshaw is an Assistant Professor of Art Education and serves as Area Coordinator for Art Education. Dr. Bradshaw teaches all levels of art education courses, supervises student teaching practice, and advises art education students.
Prior to coming to the University of Dayton, Dr. Bradshaw worked as a middle school Art Integration Specialist in the Tucson Unified School District (2006-2011) where she collaborated with classroom educators to teach their discipline specific curriculum and art through reciprocal, mutually supportive structures. Additionally, Dr. Bradshaw taught studio art courses in fibers, basic design, and art history at Pima Community College and the University of Arizona from 2001-2011.
Dr. Bradshaw serves as a consultant and trainer for the nationally recognized non-profit organization Arts Integration Solutions where she engages professional educators, both inside and outside the art disciplines, in creating innovative art integration curricular engagements for grades K-12. Dr. Bradshaw also served as a member of the Editorial Review Board for the Journal of Art Education from 2011-2014.
Faculty Perspective
Believing that the role of art educator is a dialogic one in which we navigate the liminal spaces between the worlds of artist and educator, maker and thinker, I am committed to facilitating a space in which students use theory and philosophy to inform their practice and pedagogy. Teaching is a reflective, relational practice through which learners make meaning of their worlds. Art education and art making are not just opportunities to collaborate with others while giving visual form to ideas, but they are transformative practices in which to find imaginative possibilities that comment on, critique and offer solutions to social issues and challenges facing students engaged in the contemporary K-12 educational system.

WASHINGTON - The Bush administration may get another chance to try to develop an earth-penetrating nuclear warhead. The Senate on Friday agreed to revive the ''bunker-buster'' program that Congress last year decided to kill.
Administration officials have maintained that the country needs to try to develop a nuclear warhead that would be capable of destroying deeply buried targets including bunkers tunneled into solid rock.
But opponents said that its benefits are questionable and that such a warhead would cause extensive radiation fallout above ground, killing thousands of people. And they say it may make it easier for a future president to decide to use the nuclear option instead of a conventional weapon.
The Senate early Friday voted 53-43 to include $4 million for research into the feasibility of a bunker-buster nuclear warhead. Earlier this year, the House refused to provide the money, so a final decision will have to be worked out between the two chambers.
The money is included in a $31.2 billion spending measure for the Energy Department and other programs. Last year Congress killed the program, but the Bush administration asked that it be revived.
Supporters of the program said the $4 million does not signal development of any new warheads. They argue that the money would be used to see whether a sufficiently hardened casing could be developed for an existing warhead.
But Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., one of Congress' most vocal opponents of the bunker-buster, said the program ''sends the wrong signals to the rest of the world by reopening the nuclear door and beginning the testing and development of a new generation of nuclear weapons.''

After a fairly good showing in this summer's romantic comedy "The Proposal", Sandra Bullock now plays Mary Magdalene Horowitz (a Jewish-Catholic) crossword puzzle creator in her new film "All about Steve." She has a bad case of logorrhea (verbal diarrhea).
It's a challenge at first to get a fix on Mary's character and her fixation with red disco boots. She's too old to be living at home, yet she is. She is a professional, but barely working. Her mother sets her up on a blind date with Steve (Bradley Cooper), a cameraman for a Sacramento-based cable news station.
She almost cancels, but when she sees Steve her hormones go into overdrive. He goes along - for a few moments. When she doesn't stop talking, defining words as she goes along, he realizes he needs to distance himself from someone who presents like a whack job. As he untangles himself he invites Mary to join him in Tucson to cover a news story. He doesn't mean it, but she is oblivious and talks her way to Tucson, AZ.
Steve can't believe it when she shows up, but the smarmy Hartman (Thomas Haden Church), the news "journalist", makes sure she keeps following the news team from one freakish news story to the next (a baby born with three legs, a group of deaf children who fall in an abandoned mine). A young woman and man befriend Mary and drive her from place to place. They are all - different.
The reviews for "All about Steve" are pretty dismissive, but at the end I thought that it wasn't a total loss. The people "praying" or joining together in solidarity for the rights of the 3-legged girl and then the children (and Mary) who fall in the well, juxtaposed with the artificial, superficial press corps that follow tabloid stories (hoping for a break that will turn the "journalists" into stars) is classic: the "un-normal" freaks vis-a-vis the "normal" poseur news media are looking at each other across a fence, as if in a mirror.
Who determines what is "normal"? Who defines normal in the world of words and meanings? French philosopher, sociologist and historian Michel Foucault (1926-1984) asked who or what normalizes behaviors and believed it was a largely governmental tactic for social control.
The obvious answer in "All about Steve" is that the media determine what is normal by reporting on what is bizarre. They are saying: "this weird stuff is news and you are okay because look how not-okay all these people are. In "All about Steve" the media are the arbiters of "normal".
So here is an entertainment film commenting on information media: is the pot calling the kettle black? Or is the film a testament to unity in diversity? And the film is not all about Steve at all. It's all about Mary – and anyone who is different.
The crowd of "witnesses" holding candles in solidarity, content in their diversity and identities, win the film.
Mary Magdalene Horowitz keeps talking as if to fill up her empty inner self, only to realize she isn't empty at all. She is a person in search of self who discovers she already knows who she is. It's other people who do not accept her non-stop narration and her red boots. She doesn't fit in. But then she doesn't have a sense of how she is perceived by others so she can then modify her behavior and be accepted as "normal" - the agonizing routine many of us go through so we can "belong."
This isn't a perfect film; Mary's persona was annoying; I think the filmmakers just let go of the story at a certain point. But the film's heart was in the right place.
Bradley Cooper was a regular guy; Thomas Haden Church was bland. And Sandra? I'd love to see her do some better stories like "While You Were Sleeping"
or "Speed". Contrasting and exaggerating differences is the oldest laugh-line of all time. Sometimes it just falls flat.
But perhaps it is the romantic comedy genre that is in trouble: creative storytellers needed!

How long did it take for you to do the whole job? I am thiDnking to tackle the OFHG at the same time. Not having a garage is a huge disadvantage
. Have to wait for an overcast day, as I know its going to be a long frustrating day and I won't be able to do it under the summer sun.
Edit: I see you have a new suspension setup. Congrats. I still have to do my bushings and mounts. Will check the shocks when I do the RSMs. Thinking Koni yellow or orange, don't want to go lower. I already have tough time in the winter on my sports suspension.
As far as i know, the only difference between the two is the insulation. The CCV took me about 3 hours, including beer breaks. Definitely would have been way easier if I'd done the CCV and the OFHG at the same time, but I didn't have the foresight. It's not a terrible job, just takes patience and some lower back pain...nothing a few Advil and a couple beers can't alieviate! I would volunteer to help but I spend most weekends in Texas with my kids.
The new suspension is great. The XI has always sat an inch or two higher than its RWD cousins, so I didnt mind the slight drop. It's not really noticeable, visually speaking, but definitely better handling!

I have been using mine for several months now with out any issues. Unlike some cheap ones, this one DOES transmit data! I use it to charge and sync my Windows phone to the computer. I will be buying several more of these as soon as I place another order. (to justify shipping....)
Buy it, you won't regret it!
I have always had the best of service and response from MCM. Highly recommended!

Shamkhani is a moderate military figure and usually appears in public wearing civilian clothes, but when he met Barzani he was dressed in full navy uniform. "I intentionally met with Nechirvan Barzani in uniform so that he would understand that for us the integrity of Iraq is important," Shamkhani said three days after the meeting.
That a top-ranking Iranian official has resorted to sartorial symbolism reflects just how overwhelmed Iran has been by the twin crises of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Malaki's failed leadership and the Kurdish move to hold a referendum on independence. For Iran, an effective Kurdish secession from the Iraqi central government would be deeply alarming, with reverberations far beyond simply Iran's reach across a fragmented Iraq.Read Full Article »

APEC 2015: To be a player in one big economy-A A +A
Saturday, February 22, 2014
TO MANY, 2015 is just another year. But those who are doing business and specialized services are getting antsy. The reason: The Asean Economic Community (AEC), one of the last steps to full integration of the Asean economy.
This was the main concern in last week's Asean Economic Community 2015 forum spearheaded by Sun.Star with SGV & Co. at the Marco Polo in Cebu.
The seating capacity crowd in the hotel ballroom gave a hint on the concern of the business sector, most especially the export-driven Cebu business sector, on this eventuality.
Is AEC 2015 something to fear?
Like all other unknowns, the fear is because of the unknown. Getting to know AEC gives light on what is really going to happen by next year. And by the way the guest speakers discussed it? It's almost like it's business as usual, but the Philippines might just continue its lackadaisical growth compared to other Asean members if public infrastructure are given the same lack of attention.
Background of the AEC
The resolution that an Asean Community will be established by 2020 was made by Asean leaders in 2003.
The Asean Community will have three pillars: The Asean Political-Security Community, the Asean Economic Community, and the Asean Socio-Cultural Community.
Of the three pillars, the leaders agreed to speed up the AEC to 2015, that is next year, to transform Asean into a region with free movement of goods, services, investment, skilled labor, and freer flow of capital.
The blueprint for AEC was adopted in 2007, which set out timelines and targets.
Meaning, the thrust to transform the Asean economy into one integrated community had already been set in motion and is only targeted to reach its completion by December 2015.
This was the pint stressed by Trade and industry Secretary Gregory L. Domingo, who was the keynote speaker in the Sun.Star Cebu forum.
"Since June 2010, 99.65 percent of goods traded within Asean have been traded with zero tariff except for Cambodia, Laos, Vietname, and Myanmar," he said. But the exceptions are because these countries were just recent members of Asean.
"Only a few products are protected – rice, sugar, swine and chicken," he added. "as of today, as far as trade of goods are concerned, all of you are already competing with products with zero tariffs."
A standout among the benefits of the move to integrate the Asean Community, said former Economic and Development Secretary Cielito Habito, who is now the Chief of Party of the US Assistance for International Development (USAID)'s Trade-Related Assistance for Development (Trade), is the "borrowed political will", wherein even as government is regarded as lacking in political will to do what has to be done, it has to keep pace with the targets and commitments it has given to the Asean Community.
"Asean economics are gaining momentum, it is more about cooperation than competition and the overall benefits of integration had long been established," he said, admitting that some may benefit more than the others, but the benefits are there for all.
But most of all, Habito said, "The AEC is pushing us in the Philippines to finally do the right things."
It also pushed the Philippines to appreciate the Asean economy as a partner such that, since the idea of an integrated economy has been agreed on, export of import of intermediate goods among member countries have been among the top imports and exports.
The Philippines for one, has a predominantly intra-industry trade with the rest of the Asean as, contrary to earlier fears that the Asean members will just be competing with each other since their products are similar, they have instead moved towards cooperation where in countries are trading products within the same industries.
"The Philippines' top exports to its major Asean trading partners are petroleum products, electronics, and chemicals, the same products that we import in the region," he said. This is because, throughout Asean has been established a chain of production components.
By sharing production processes and looking at the whole economic community as an integrated production line, greater efficiency and higher productivity are encouraged. It's no longer about each country building its own factories to produce one electronic product or even vehicles, but each country building industries around the parts or each electronic product or vehicle.
But, like any cooperation, there are downsides, Habito pointed out. This was most apparent during the Bangkok floods where the supply chain of electronics was disrupted Asean-wide and worldwide.
There will also be those who will gain more, but this will all depend on how resilient and forward-looking an industry is, rather than really losing out on competition within the Asean since the system had already been set in motion since 2010.
"December 31, 2015 is not a day of reckoning, it's really a reference date on the commitments we have made," Habito said.
The commitment: To fully cooperate in Asean as a single market and production base.
The greater concern may be in the free flow of skilled labor and services, which still has to be fully operational. But within this set-up itself, mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs) has already been implemented to facilitate flow of professional services providers within the region that should be in accordance to relevant domestic rules and regulations.
The Asean Framework Agreement on Services (Afas), has been signed since 1995, recognizes the importance of MRA in over-all services integration in Asean as each member country recognizes the value of their skilled labor and services.
As defined in Afas, "Each Member State may recognize the education or experience obtained, requirements met, or licenses or certifications granted in another Member State, for the purpose of licensing or certification of service suppliers. Such recognition may be based upon an agreement or arrangement with the Member State concerned or may be accorded autonomously."
Meaning, again, there is nothing to fear in the short-term but the real benchmark in whether one service sector will truly rise above the rest is in how these service sectors gear themselves up for a wider market base and bigger market players.
The key here too, lies in cooperation.
By individual companies and industries, when pitted against the more formidable and focused sectors of the neighbors like Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and even the fast-growing Vietnam, it will be a losing game.
But as Philippine Representative for Small and Medium Enterprises of the Asean Business Advisory Council Jay U. Yuvallos said, "We have to create that ecosystem for our industries to strive."

Child participation
Following the World Summit on Children in 1990 and Malaysia's formulation of the National Plan of Action for Children (NPA), the Social Welfare Department and UNICEF work, hand-in-hand, to promote child participation in civil rights which include rights to information, expression and decision making.
Through this partnership, children and adolescents are trained to be facilitators and peer educators to promote the Convention on the Rights of the Child and create awareness for the prevention of violence and abuse against children. Young Malaysians are also given opportunities to contribute to the preparation of the NPA for 2001-2010; and to participate in various international and regional meetings.
In recognition of the special place young people have in society, Malaysia's launch of the Say Yes campaign, part of the Global Movement for Children in 2001, was officiated by the Prime Minister. Malaysia's children also attended the UN General Assembly Special Session on Children in 2002.
In 2006, UNICEF continued its partnership with the Social Welfare Department to document Malaysia's best practices on child participation.

Laurenz V Charming Gruner Veltliner 2010
Gruner Veltliner from Austria
Winemaker's Notes
Aromas of ripe apples and a typical Veltliner spiciness marry to create a fascinating fruit bouquet. On the palate, the wine is soft and juicy, supported by a fine fruit acidity. Very harmonious, allowing for perfectly smooth drinking. Simply charming!
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "The most impressive of the range of wines from Laurenz Moser V. It is tight with minerality, pepper and apple skin flavors. With a steely texture and intense youthful acidity, it's a wine that needs to age for at least 2 years."
Laurenz V Winery
Laurenz V was created for white wine lovers everywhere. The winery focuses on a single wine variety--Grüner Veltliner--that has long been a favorite in its native Austria, where it represents nearly a third of the country's wine grape production. Grüner Veltliner has been quickly catching on in the rest of the world, too!
Laurenz V is made by the Lenz Moser family, and is the most recent offering in the family's five generations of wine making experience. The wine comes from the Kamptal and Kremstal areas of lower Austria where the warmth of the Danube Valley meets the cool air of the Waldviertel region. This combination develops fresh, fruity flavors in grapes while maintaining excellent acidity. The winery makes two wines—Laurenz V. Charming Grüner Veltliner from Kamptal, and Laurenz und Sophie Singing Grüner Veltliner, a wine inspired by Lenz' daughter Sophie, predominantly from Kremstal. View all Laurenz V Wines
About AustriaView a map of Austria wineries The country of Austria is steadily growing in both wine production and quality. The rise in popularity can be partly attributed to the success of Grüner Veltliner, the most-planted grape of Austria. As a landlocked country Austria has a decidedly continental climate. Most Austrian wine comes from the region of Lower Austria, which happens to be located in the northeast corner of the country, but called as such because of its lower elevation level. Within Lower Austria are many sub-regions, the most well-known being Wachau, Kremstal and Kamptal. To the south of Lower Austria is Burgenland, known for producing good reds and sweet whites. Styria is the furthest south, on the border of Slovenia and produces very little of Austria's total wine production. Wein, or Vienna, is its own region as well, a little enclave inside of Lower Austria.
Notable FactsBeyond the delicious Grüner Veltliner, Austria's white grape varieties include Riesling, which can make both sweet and dry wines, Weschriesling, Sauvignon Blanc and some Weissburgunder, (we know it as Pinot Blanc). In reds the best grapes are Blaufränkisch, a red grape also found in Germany, which creates wines that are strong and structured, and usually from Burgenland. Another red coming out of the country is the indigenous crossing (one of the parents is Blaufrankisch), Zweigelt (zuh-VYE-gelt). This is a big and fruity red, usually best drunk young, and quite pleasing.
Austrian Wine Laws & LevelsLike Germany, wine quality is determined by the must weight of the grapes when picked – in other words, the ripeness level. Austria is fairly strict when it comes to their wine laws. The first level of quality is Tafelwein, regular table wine and by far the most produced. Next is Landwein, one step up from Table wine and with more regulations.

As the 2013 Virginia governor's race is already underway, the Washington Post is determined to set the narrative early on for its readers, and it goes a little something like this: Republican Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli is a hard-right conservative who's too extreme for the Old Dominion, especially in contrast to job-creating businessman Terry McAuliffe. McAuliffe, you may recall, served as Democratic National Committee chairman from 2001 to 2005. [Read related posts here and here]
In the December 6 paper, Post staff writer Ben Pershing continued the narrative with his treatment of liberal former congressman Tom Perriello's announcement the day prior that he would not run for governor and that he backs McAuliffe, giving the former DNC chief a virtual lock on the nomination next June. The race is now between "Cuccinelli, a conservative who is loved by his party base, and McAuliffe," a "businessman" who "previously ran the Democratic National Committee," Pershing noted. The term "liberal" was used twice in Pershing's 17-paragraph story, in relation to Perriello. There was no exploration of the question of McAuliffe's ideological leanings:
Perriello, who held the Charlottesville-based 5th Congressional District seat for one term before losing in 2010, is revered by many liberal activists in Virginia and across the country, and some on the left have urged him to consider a statewide bid. He released a statement Wednesday saying that he had been inspired by last month's election results.
"In this spirit, I have considered a run for Governor, and am genuinely touched by the outpouring of support," he said. "I do not feel called to serve in elected office at this time, but I do not need to have my name on the ballot to be part of the fight."
Perriello, who has a strong relationship with President Obama and was part of several campaign events in battleground states this year, said he will continue in his role with the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank, to fight for progressive causes and against Republican ideas he considers extreme.
"No one has worked harder to prevent this extreme agenda from reaching the Governor's mansion than Terry McAuliffe," Perriello said in the statement. "I hope that progressives and moderates can unite as Virginians choose between the worst of our past and the best of our future."
In a statement released shortly after Perriello's, McAuliffe praised him as "a courageous and principled fighter for progressive values and one of our party's best spokesmen on issues of economic fairness."
Even before Perriello's announcement, McAuliffe sought to convey the idea that Virginia Democrats were rallying around him.
Seeking to assure readers that McAuliffe is a get-things-done job creator, this is how Pershing closed his story:
In a brief interview with reporters after the tour, McAuliffe was asked how he would energize Democrats, who rejected him in a primary four years ago.
"I think we do what I've done the last several years — we've done over 2,400 events, traveling throughout the commonwealth," he said. "I've spent my time listening to folks."
McAuliffe said the economic challenges Virginia faces, particularly with looming defense cuts, make his business background especially valuable now.
"It's a different economy moving forward," he said. "This is something I've done my whole life — I've created many jobs. I think we need some new and creative thinking to create jobs."
So to recap, according to Pershing and his pals at the Post, the Democrats are rallying around McAuliffe, who's a non-ideological businessman with a laser-like focus on jobs. By contrast, "firebrand" tea Party favorite Cuccinelli has burned bridges with the more moderate Lt. Governor Bill Bolling and risks being too extreme for the swing state's moderate suburban voters.
Expect this drumbeat to continue and grow louder as we move towards the November 2013 gubernatorial election.

CDs! Hahahahaha! Remember those? But seriously: someone at HMV stores in London was not kidding around when they posted stickers reading "Warning: Do not buy this album!

Law Firm
We do not claim we know everything about the law but we know a lot, we do not claim we have experienced everything but we have an extensive experience.
Our Law Firm has been operating since 1988. Originally it had the form of a limited liability company, but when the regulations changed and the ban on providing legal services by capital companies was imposed, our law firm changed its legal form to the current one.
The events of the late 1980s, when Poland regained her economic freedom, have shaped the profile and credo of our legal practice.
